Chapter XIII: Disputes
After returning to Yongshou Palace, I sent Qiu Yan and Cai Die and other slaves and maids to eat, closed the door by myself, sat in front of the dresser and sighed softly, the faint fragrance in the stove, deep and long, holy and restrained smell, made people feel peaceful, the original sisterhood in the palace is so fragile.
No, even if Nuo Min is angry, she won't be like this, and in an instant the shadow of Dong E Wanyan appeared in my mind, that gentle and moving, so that I still don't know how to get along with her, although I almost said it in my heart hundreds of times impossible, but I still understand, I know people and faces, but I don't know the heart.
Time flies, the day suddenly pulled down the night, knowing that Fu Lin turned over the brand of Nuo Min tonight, he didn't feel anything wrong, but his heart was empty, as if he had lost something important.
"Pick butterflies, serve me to change clothes." Tonight is Cai Die and Xiao Dezi on duty, each concubine palace has a rule, every day there must be a maid and eunuch on duty, Cai Die's stability makes me very relieved, Xiao Dezi's full name is Wu Dehai, sixteen years old, is a new little eunuch to Yongshou Palace, it is said that he and Wu Liangfu have a relationship like a biological brother.
After Cai Die served me to change into a light pink bedgown and washed up, she retreated with confidence and went to the door to guard, "Sleep so early?" Not long after I lay down, I heard a person's provocation, and when I was in a panic, I sat up and looked at him blankly: "Shouldn't you be in the Heart Cultivation Hall at this time?" "That's right, it's the same person I haven't seen for a few days, he is dressed in bright yellow civilian clothes, and his eyes like stars are looking directly at me with affection.
Fu Lin walked over, sat next to me, and smiled solemnly: "I miss you!" ”
I was surprised, took a cushion, leaned my head on the pillow, and said softly "oh", "You ......" I was about to say something, but he interrupted me,
"Although I turned over the sign of the noble concubine tonight, I'm afraid you'll be sad." I just nodded, looking at it with a slight smile, his eyes were filled with love and affection, I waited quietly with him, staring at each other, and for a moment he "coughed" lightly to relieve the embarrassment, and I saw this drooping eyes and stretched out my hand to stroke my long hair, the shadow of Nuo Min appeared in my mind, thinking that she might still be waiting for him, since there were enough misunderstandings, then I couldn't let her continue to misunderstand, I thought about it before I slowly spoke: "Look and see!" Now can you go back to the Heart Cultivation Temple? Hearing my words, he pulled me into his arms, and when I saw this, I was at a loss, and my hands stopped in mid-air, and then I put my arms around him, and he probably felt me, and then gently stroked my head, as if to comfort me,
"Let's go." It took me a long time to slowly push him away, and now I want to push the person I love the most to my good sister's side. It's the most painful thing!
But no way, who made him the emperor, he is also the husband of all the women in the harem, so I have to accept this if I want to be with him, he stared at me for a while, and finally left! Seeing him leave, I rolled over on the couch, closed my eyes and fell asleep.
Before you know it, the sun blocks out the darkness, and the sky is slowly brightening, sprinkling sunlight.
I am wearing a plain purple embroidered rattan pattern weaving cloud brocade palace dress, three thousand black and black silk silk into a double flag sideburns, wearing a gorgeous plain purple bead flower dotted cui, inserted an agate purple and red dotted cuiluan hairpin, two short tassels hanging from both sides of the flower, a pair of dark eyes on the delicate face are soft.
Thinking that the weather is good today, I will go to the queen to say goodbye first, and then go to see the concubine, I took Qiu Yan and Cai Die, left Yongshou Palace, and took a shortcut on the way to Kunning Palace, "Sister! When I was about to reach my destination, a soft voice came from behind me, I turned around and saw that it was the concubine Dong E Wanyan, she smiled, and walked over slowly, followed by her personal maid Ting'er and Lianyi
When Dong E Wanyan came over, my eyes swept over her body, she was wearing a light pink carved silk butterfly pattern placket palace dress, three thousand green silk silk into two heads, pinned pink silk flowers on the side, and dotted with pearls, a hairpin upside down, horseshoe sole shoes toe decorated with complex and delicate tassels, with a light makeup on her face, and her round little face lined with her whole body is even more lovely! ,
"See Concubine Xian Niangniang, Concubine Xian Niangniang Wanfu Jin'an." When she came over, she saluted respectfully,
In order to avoid embarrassment, I pretended to cough lightly, cleared my throat, and laughed softly: "My sister is so polite!" ”
"Sister Xie." She straightened her head and smiled slightly, then pursed her lips, her face didn't look very good, so I couldn't help but feel pity, signaled to go with her, and looked up, Qiu Yan Caidie who followed behind me seemed to look at each other deeply, yes! They know better than me the people in this house, especially the love of sisterhood.
I walked side by side with Dong E Wanyan in the wind, and when I saw her sighing, my footsteps stopped and said, "My sister's face is not good, but is it uncomfortable?" ”
Hearing this, she frowned, shook her head gently, the warm sun sprinkled from the sky, she didn't say that I also understood what she meant, I patted her with my armored hand, "Stay in the palace well." She seemed to pull her lips reluctantly, and then I squinted and looked at the bracelet on her wrist, as if it was a shiny, delicate bracelet made of sheep wax white jade, I was stunned, as if I wanted to think about something, I instantly heard a sneering voice, with a bit of resentment in my tone, "Yo! Isn't this a virtuous concubine and a concubine? Listening to this tone, I knew who the person behind me was, obviously Wanyan beside me was staring at me at a loss, I threw her a reassuring look, slowly turned around, and saluted: "Sister Jingfei is auspicious." Meng Guqing was stunned for a moment, as if she didn't expect me to salute her, she smiled sarcastically, a little coolness flashed in her eyes, and said: "Sister Xian Concubine is like this, but this palace really doesn't dare to be!" ”
I lowered my eyes and didn't look at her, "Sister Jingfei, where are these words?" You have been in the palace longer than your sister, and that's as it should be. ”
"Niangniang, it's not early, you should go in and say hello to the queen!" A grandmother in a dark flag uniform beside her said softly, because she knew her temperament, the people present seemed to stop moving, thinking that she would be very angry when she heard these words, at least I thought so, but what I didn't expect was that she smiled slightly, not angry at all, "Also, it's not early!" Go in, Mama Ann. After that, she seemed to look at Wanyan behind me, holding Mama An's hand, followed by two maidservants and walked in dignifiedly, I and Wanyan on the side looked at each other in surprise and confusion, puzzled.
Meng Guqing went in, and then Wanyan and I also went in! Wan Yan and I didn't let the four people behind me go in, mainly because I was afraid that if something happened, it would affect them, and almost Meng Guqing didn't bring Mama An and them in.
Salute to the queen, Meng Guqing and the queen Ronghui greetings, we sat down, and a few people came in after a while, the first to come in was Yun Guifei Borzigit Wuyunzhu, who was previously the wife of Prince Xiang Bogol, and heard Fulin say that Prince Xiang entrusted Wuyunzhu to him before he passed away, and she entered with the third elder brother Xuanye's mother, Concubine Tong Qingyue.
The queen's sister, the concubine Borzigit is honorable. The second elder brother Fuquan's mother, Ning Gui Concubine Dong E Qianlan, and the others are all new concubines who have entered the palace, Duan Gui Concubine Borzigit Nomin and Yi Guiren Fucha Jingyi, often in Yang Nishang and often in Chen Xinyan.
After a salute, the palace maids served tea, snacks and fruits, Rong Hui signaled us to be casual, first of all, Wuyunzhu slowly picked up the tea cup and took a sip gently.
Then Meng Guqing took a piece of pastry at random, put it in his mouth, and tasted it carefully, Qingyue and Concubine Borzigit Ronggui were sitting next to me smiling and chatting about family life, but Ning Gui Concubine Dong Eqianlan was sitting there alone, not dealing with anyone.
On the side, Nuo Min and Wan Yan seemed to be saying something, but after Nuo Min glanced at me with a nonchalant expression, his eyes avoided! Lowered his eyes and pretended that he didn't know anything. After a while, I slowly raised my eyes again, and saw Rong Hui reach out and pick up the tea cup, uncover the tea lid, and take a sip, "New sisters, are you still used to living in the palace?" "Hearing this, everyone look at me, I look at you, it seems that there is nothing to say, but Nuo Min stood up with a light smile on his face, "Queen Xie cares, the palace is very good, and the concubines and sisters live very satisfactorily." ”
"Alas, the things in this Kunning Palace are really good, and this palace didn't know it before!" I can't help it! Rong Hui nodded, and when he was about to say something, it was when Meng Guqing finished eating the snack, and there was a little irony in his eyes, at this time, Concubine Ronggui, who was talking to Concubine Tong Qingyue, seemed to be holding a pa and laughing, took a piece of honeydew melon from the plate, sniffed it in front of his nose, and slowly spoke: "Yes!" Concubine Jing regrets it now? Hearing this, I raised my eyes and carefully looked at Ronggui in a pink flag suit, although she and the queen are sisters, but it seems that she and the queen are different temperament, tapered face, a pair of extremely small eyes with some scheming, gorgeous makeup, people feel very ordinary.
"Regret what?" Meng Guqing's puzzled expression made everyone stare at her, and when my eyes swept back to Ronggui, she had already finished eating the melon, wiped the corners of her mouth, and said: "Extravagant, jealous, willful." ”
I looked at Meng Guqing quietly and secretly, it was true that she was already blushing when she heard this, but everyone was listening quietly, but who knew what they were thinking in their hearts.
"Shut up, Lady!" Instantly heard a "bang", which made people turn their eyes to Rong Hui, and it turned out that the sound just now was that she put the tea cup heavily on the table,
Rong Gui saw that her queen sister was angry, she immediately stood up, walked over unhurriedly, and curtsied her knees and said, "The queen mother is angry, and the concubine is ...... The concubine ...... "She lowered her head, as if she didn't know what to say, is the woman who was so bold that even her own aunt said that she is the same person as the woman who stammered now?" Thinking about it, I secretly observed Meng Guqing again, and found that her face was faint, and there was a secret unwillingness in a pair of good-looking eyes, or hidden patience, in fact, I heard Qiu Yan say that Si'er had asked for Fulin before, since she had no feelings for Meng Guqing, why not let her go and let her find her own happiness, Fulin listened to Si'er's words, so he also promised Si'er to let Meng Guqing go back to the grassland, and then she mistakenly thought that Si'er couldn't tolerate her, so she proved to Fulin that she didn't want anyone except him, and Fulin left her behind, From that time on, her resentment and misunderstanding towards Si'er deepened! Because she is a wasted queen, she doesn't dare to deal with Si'er openly, "The queen mother is angry, and the concubine is also fast-talking!" "Yun Guifei, who has never said a few words since she came in, spoke at this moment!
Rong Hui's dignified face was rigorous, "Then how did the concubine say that the palace would punish this fast-mouthed person?!" Today, her makeup is very dignified and elegant, the red cloud brocade straight flag is embroidered with a golden phoenix drifting fire pattern group embroidery to hold up her noble and illustrious identity, the black hair is a round bun, a handful of peony silk flowers in the center of the top head board, the red tassels on both sides are hanging down, and the other is combed behind the head like a swallowtail, embellished with ruby tassels, the step is shaken upside down, the collar is made of the style of red and complicated lace, and the feet are wearing a pair of blue basin bottoms, up and down are so unusual.
"This ......" Wuyunzhu was at a loss, and Meng Guqing on the side was calmly drinking tea there, as if he was making a constant appearance to respond to all changes, which made me very puzzled, did I still know the irascible Concubine Jing?
Seeing that his sister was still kneeling on the ground, Rong Hui Qianqian's jade hand seemed to touch the bracelet at the bottom of his sleeve, his eyes rolled, and he seemed to think about it, and then cleared his throat and said: "Spread the decree of the palace, the concubine Borzigit is honorable, make something out of nothing, provoke trouble, but it is the first offense, and the palace allows him to copy the "Women's Training" forty times to set an example. ”
Then she was supported by the maidservant to stand up, as she stood up, in addition to Ronggui, we also stood up, she seemed to look at us for a moment, and said menacingly: "If anyone dares to make something out of nothing in the future, this palace will never spare it, just that!" Kneel down and be in peace! With that, she took the handmaiden's hand and walked towards the dormitory without looking back.
"Yes, the concubine knows her mistake." Concubine Ronggui lowered her head and whispered softly,
Seeing Ronghui go back, we bowed our knees to her: "The concubine sends the queen mother." As I spoke, I secretly looked at the many maidservants behind her, and couldn't help but sigh, the momentum was really not majestic, and the people who gradually disappeared did not stand up until we were gone.
Qingyue walked over, picked up the beautiful woman on the ground, and said gently: "Come, get up." The beauty lowered her head, her expression was very pitiful, and when I looked at Meng Guqing, she was gone! .
Out of Kunning Palace, it seems to be almost noon, in the Mid-Autumn Festival sky, the white clouds are like good wool, slowly floating, the blue sky and white clouds set off the red palace wall is more beautiful, Jingyi, Nuo Min and Wanyan left first, because the time they just sat was a little longer! So my legs were a little uncomfortable and I held the hand of Cai Die, I and Wuyunzhu followed Qiu Yan, as well as her maidservants Su Shao and Lan Qing, Ling'er and the palace maids, a solemn feeling surrounded me and Wuyunzhu, she looked at me for a long time without speaking, and said with a little doubt on her face: "I look at Concubine Shu on weekdays and is a very stable person, what is wrong today?" Seeing that she threw the question at me, I just lowered my eyes in confusion and said, "Maybe she was confused for a while!" "The dark cloud beads combed a two-handful of hair, a wisp of pure blue tassels fluttered on the shoulders of the ears, swaying with the wind, from top to bottom almost used elegant color decoration, the skin snow is like jade, the eyebrows on the small face are like a crescent moon, the upper body is wearing a plain blue lotus half-length flag suit, the lower is lined with a pleated skirt, and the feet are stepping on a pair of light blue flower pot bottoms.
The wind gusted, the blue sky made the tassels on the head flutter, and after being silent for a while, the beauty sighed and said: "The hour is not early, the palace will return to the palace first!" ”
"Yes, the concubine sends the concubine Niangniang!" Hearing this, I bent my knees, said in a respectful tone, seeing her go away, I only held Qiu Yan and Cai Die's hands and stood up, her back back to the palace, although it was extremely beautiful with so many minions, but the more I looked at it, the more I felt a little lonely, I couldn't help but think, she may not be suitable to stay in this huge, and there is no free palace.
