Chapter Thirty-Eight: Picking Red Plums at Night
There was silence in the study, Qin Yue didn't know what to say, Cang Mingyuan didn't want to speak, he was busy dealing with various things every day recently, and he didn't hug the little woman in his arms properly.
"Cang Mingyuan, are you really going to take me to Jiangnan next year?" Qin Yue asked.
"Well, I want to introduce you to my grandfather, who loves me the most besides my mother."
"And you want to see your cousin?"
"Yuedi and my grandfather don't live together, but it's not far away, and we see it often. How? You don't want to see her? ”
"She hasn't arrived at the palace yet, so give me a dismount, do you think the two of us can get along?" Qin Yue glared at him, it was all this man's fault.
"It's okay, don't worry, we'll just stay for a few days to see my grandfather and come back, and then I'll find a way to keep her in Jiangnan and not let her come to the palace." Cang Mingyuan said with a smile. The unhappiness that had accumulated in my heart for a few days disappeared without a trace in this instant. A few days ago, I was troubled by the affairs of the imperial court. Today I finally found time to see this little woman, I missed her voice for a few days.
After the heavy snowfall, the weather is exceptionally sunny, and the New Year has been prepared in each courtyard, and they are all basking in the sun and chatting about melon seeds in the courtyard.
"Sister Yao, why did you say that the prince chose Sister Xue to go to the palace to participate in the night banquet, it stands to reason that you are more qualified to go, sister." Mrs. Yan, who was wearing a light purple cotton skirt in Fanghua Garden, muttered with a small mouth, as if she was complaining about Mrs. Yao.
"Okay, sister don't talk about this matter, since it's the prince's will, we just need to obey. You see that the princess has no opinion, and we can't be dissatisfied. Mrs. Yao smiled and reassured.
"This princess's sister is unwell and can't enter the palace, and she can't say anything more! But sister, you're different, you're the young lady of the household waiter's family, of course, you have more status than Sister Xue from a small household to participate in the banquet. Mrs. Smoke still said unwillingly.
"Okay, this matter is over, sister, you should also pay attention, if this word is spread to the ears of the prince, it will inevitably make people think that you are jealous and lose your identity." Mrs. Yao frowned, a little unhappy.
"Yes, my sister said yes. My sister will pay attention to it later. Mrs. Smoke looked down and said.
The two chatted about some other trivial matters, and suddenly saw the red plum not far away, blooming in the warm winter sun, which made people's hearts tremble.
"Oh, sister, the plum blossoms in your yard are really beautiful, and picking some in winter and putting them in the room is even more elegant, and it has a unique posture." Mrs. Smoke said enviously. This red plum is transplanted by Mrs. Yao from her mother's house, which is unique in the entire palace, and even the prince praised these two red plums.
Hearing Mrs. Yan's praise, Mrs. Yao's eyes also showed a touch of pride, but they quickly faded and retracted.
"If my sister likes to wait a while, I will ask someone to pick a few for you and put them in the room, red plum is also a rare treasure in plum blossoms, and my sister skin is like snow when you put it in the room." Mrs. Yao said. Nodding to the maid behind him, he asked him to pick some plum blossoms to give to Mrs. Yan.
"Oh, my sister is so good, my sister is here, thank you sister." Mrs. Yan's face was full of smiles, and she was praised by Mrs. Yao.
At night, the courtyards are all roasted in the house, and there is a small figure struggling to climb under the silent red plum tree. Qin Yue heard Mingyue say two days ago that there were two rare red plums in this courtyard, and her heart was itching, and today she took advantage of the fact that no one came here quietly, and planned to secretly pick a few and put them in the room to enjoy herself. I had only seen red plums in a five-A scenic spot before, but I didn't expect that there would be one in this time and space, and it was rarer than in modern times.
Not long after Qin Yue climbed the tree, he heard footsteps coming in the distance, and hurriedly drilled towards the dense flower branches on the tree. I saw a petite figure in the shape of a maid walking towards the tree, looking around with wary eyes, and seeing that there was nothing unusual, he took out a small note from his sleeve and stuffed it into a small hole in the plum tree, and after putting it away, he looked up and glanced around and quickly left.
Hey, I really saw a good show today, there is such a thing in the palace, it seems that this place is more complicated than imagined!
Qin Yue took the picked red plum hemp and slipped down from the tree, like a light little monkey, barely making any sound. I looked at the inconspicuous hole under the tree, and hesitated a little, should I open it and see what was written on it? The outstretched hand was put down again, and finally suppressed the curiosity in his heart and turned away, quietly returning to his courtyard the same way.
When he returned to the courtyard, Cang Mingyuan was already waiting in the room. Seeing the little woman who came in lightly with the red plum, she couldn't help but sigh lightly: "If you want to, tell this king, why bother to pick it yourself in the middle of the night, if someone finds out, your pure days will come to an end." "This woman is obviously afraid of trouble, but she will take risks to steal the flowers she likes, I really don't know what to say about her.
"Hey, Cang Mingyuan, when I just went to steal this red plum, I found a person sneakily hiding a note in the tree hole, I don't know who is passing messages to each other, do you want to check it?" Qin Yue said excitedly.
"Darkwind, can you go and see what's going on?" Cang Mingyuan pondered for a while and said outside. Who is the messenger in the house, or to those outside the house?
"Hey, you say, is my character so good that I finally encountered such a thing when I went out. It seems that this palace really doesn't fit my eight characters, as long as I go out, I will definitely encounter something. Qin Yue said jokingly. Some things still have to be foreshadowed early, you can't say goodbye to him openly, you can only hint at it.
Qin Yue was full of joy and fiddled with the red plum she had picked back, took a vase and put it on the other side of the desk, Cang Mingyuan's eyes moved with her figure, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
After a while, Dark Wind came back, whispered something in Cang Mingyuan's ear, a look of surprise suddenly appeared in his eyes, his eyelashes rose unconsciously, and the two whispered to Dark Wind and went out.
Cang Mingyuan walked over and wrapped his arms around Qin Yue's waist tightly, his chin lightly rested on her shoulder, and his tone was a little excited: "Xiao Wu, you are the lucky star of this king, you must be asked by God to save me." ”
"What's the matter? I'm not an angel in white, I'm still saving, go, go, don't be so sensational. This girl doesn't eat this set. Qin Yue glanced at him and said.
"The tree hole you found tonight has helped me a lot, I have always known that the eldest brother has planted eyeliner in my house, but I have never found out how they passed the news, and I finally figured it out when Dark Wind went under the tree just now. In this way, I won't be so passive, and I've been busy arranging things in the house recently, and I want to spare all the time I want to go to Jiangnan to accompany you, and I've been trying to get rid of this hidden danger, but I haven't found a clue. I didn't expect to be bumped into by you. Cang Mingyuan said slowly, with a rare lightness in his tone.
