Volume 4 Xiao Wall Chapter 31 Black Message
Standing in the Chengrui Pavilion in the Imperial Garden, he looked at the snowflakes floating outside. [Full text reading. Today's first snow came a little earlier, but it is a beautiful thing.
A thin layer has been laid on the branches and leaves outside, as if adding snow-white flowers to them, and they look clean and comfortable. There were palace maids who swept the snow and stopped what they were doing, raised their heads and stretched out their hands to catch the falling snowflakes, and there were also three or five groups of laughing. The pen in his hand danced quickly on the rice paper on the case, and the scenes in front of him were all collected in the pen.
Stopping the pen, Chunxi looked at the painting on the paper, frowned slightly, and always felt that something was missing. After looking at the colors on the case, I realized that there was no trace of red in this painting.
"It's a little too pale." Chun Xi muttered, and looked up at the people beside him: "Quickly send someone back to get the ink box of the five-colored ink in the palace, you have prepared less today." ”
The snow outside was getting heavier and heavier, and the people who were still watching the snow in the Imperial Garden gradually entered the house. Ying'er trotted all the way with the ink box, and as soon as she entered the imperial garden, she collided with a person, and immediately fell to the ground, and the ink box also fell to the side.
"A bold minion, he dared to collide with Duan Concubine Niangniang." Yuan Shan, the personal palace maid beside Dong Xinrui, immediately came up to help her and dusted off the snow on her body for her. Behind him, a little palace maid immediately handed over an umbrella, Yuan Shan held the umbrella and stared at Ying'er who had not yet reacted on the ground.
"Which palace are you from? There were so no rules, and he recklessly collided with his master. Seeing that she didn't answer, Yuan Shan said angrily.
Ying'er knelt in the snow, lowered her head and replied in a low voice: "Slave maid Yikun Palace maid Ying'er." ”
"Humph!" Dong Xinrui snorted coldly, glanced at her with disdain, and sneered: "It turned out to be from Yikun Palace, no wonder she is so uneducated." ”
"Ying'er collided with Niangniang, please punish Niangniang." Ying'er knelt tremblingly, tears about to flow out. In Su Ri, Duan Concubine and her master are not on good terms, and she knows it in her heart. A few years ago, she had also heard about Concubine Duan's troubles for the palace maids of Yikun Palace. Now, the reckless self has provoked such a character, and I don't know what kind of blame I will suffer.
Dong Xinrui saw that she was very interesting, extremely cowardly, and looked like she was about to cry, she only felt funny. When she saw the delicate box beside her, she was very curious, and hurriedly sent someone to pick it up for her.
Ying'er saw it and hurriedly said: "This is what our master needs urgently, please Niangniang"
Before the words were finished, Yuan Shan had already reprimanded: "Bold minion, Niangniang just wants to take a look, and it will be your turn to speak." Why, your master is so stingy that he can't even look at it. ”
"Concubine Yi will naturally not be stingy." Before the thing was handed to Dong Xinrui's hand, it had already been stopped and snatched away. Yuan Shan looked at the visitor in surprise, and was about to get angry, and heard her say again: "It's just that this box is our mother's beloved thing, if it is accidentally broken, who can afford such a responsibility." ”
When Yuan Shan heard this, she was very upset about her master, and roared in a low voice: "Mu Hui, you are just a mere palace maid, where is your turn to speak." We just want to take a look, and what responsibility do we need to bear. In the final analysis, it's just relying on the identity of Concubine Yi. ”
Mu Hui slapped Yuan Shan with her backhand, and the other party looked at her with wide eyes, his eyes full of disbelief. And Dong Xinrui, who was beside her, was also angry when she saw Mu Hui making a move, and raised her hand to hit Mu Hui, but Mu Hui dodged her.
"Niangniang thought twice, the slave still had this box in her hand. Fang Caiying'er was hit by Niangniang, and the box had fallen to the ground, if she was not careful, the box would fall again. If it breaks, the mother will be punished. Mu Hui smiled and looked at the two masters and servants with angry faces, and raised the ink box in her hand.
"What nonsense are you talking about, this is just a box, no matter how precious it is, if you break it, it will not be Concubine Yi's turn to punish this palace." Dong Xinrui raised her hand and was about to grab the ink box in Mu Hui's hand, but Mu Hui stepped back and let go of the way, and she once again pounced in the air.
"Although it's just a box, it's also given by the Empress Dowager and her old man. The slave didn't want Niangniang to be punished to Cining Palace to copy the palace rules because of this box. Mu Hui smiled meaningfully.
Dong Xinrui remembered that when she deliberately blamed Lan Xin, it was precisely because she was coquettish and violated the rules that she was punished by the Queen Mother for copying palace rules. Now, Mu Hui brings up this matter again, making it clear that she wants to bring up the old thing again.
"Okay, this palace doesn't look at it." Dong Xinrui was stunned and said to Mu Hui: "However, you dared to slap Yuan Shan just now, how should this account be calculated?" ”
"Oh." Mu Hui nodded: "That's right, I fought it." It's just because she insulted Concubine Yi, and the slave was ordered to punish her. ”
"When did I insult Concubine Yi." Yuan Shan was indignant and glared at Mu Hui.
"Did I hear it wrong?" Mu Hui looked surprised: "But I obviously heard someone say that Concubine Yi is stingy, saying that the palace maids of Yikun Palace are uneducated." Could it be that the one who said this was the concubine? ”
Mu Hui shifted her gaze to Dong Xinrui's body, her mouth opened slightly, and she covered it with one hand.
"That's just that this slave and maid collided with the palace, and the palace was momentary" Dong Xinrui's cheeks were crimson with anger.
"Oh" Mu Hui dragged heavily, and said, "Niangniang, you should be careful in the future." After all, the people under Concubine Yi's hands are not very well-behaved. I remember that Concubine De Niangniang was also so careless back then, and collided with you. Today, Ying'er is like this, I really don't know when I will become the master, and I am on an equal footing with my mother, if Ying'er remembers it in the future, it is okay to embarrass my mother. ”
When Dong Xinrui heard this, her face turned white, and she was so angry that she couldn't speak. Presumably, the quarrel between her and Lan Xin outside the Chengqian Palace a few days ago is already well known. Now, Lan Xin relies on her position to be equal to her, and gave birth to the fourth and sixth elder brothers for the emperor, and she doesn't take her seriously at all. Back then, she deliberately made things difficult for her, just because she was just a palace maid beside Chunxi at that time. Now, he is on an equal footing with himself. Mu Hui said this purely to make her ugly and say something to answer her. However, she could not listen to such words the most.
"Presumptuous." Dong Xinrui was angry, she even trembled a little when she spoke, and her hand was a slap, but fortunately, Mu Hui flashed quickly, and only her finger was slightly scratched, but a red mark appeared on her face.
"What is this doing?" Chun Xi has been standing from a distance and watching, thinking that Mu Hui can already handle such a thing well, but she didn't expect to make Dong Xinrui angry and really hurt her.
Dong Xinrui looked up, saw Chunxi, and immediately froze in place.
"Just now, your palace maid is disrespectful, this palace will let Mu Hui teach her a lesson." Chunxi pulled Mu Hui in front of her, checked the injury on her face, and saw that it was okay, so she was a little relieved. Turning his head to Dong Xinrui, he said, "If Concubine Duan wants to know what is in this ink box, ask the palace." Those who are slaves should be guided by their masters' instructions to do things first. They protect the box like this, just to avoid unnecessary trouble and make the master unhappy. Why should the concubines be angry with them, it is really unseemly. Probably, Duan Concubine forgot the rules, words and deeds in the palace again. Gai Ming'er returned to the old ancestor and the imperial concubine in the palace, and asked the concubines to learn from the grandmothers again. ”
Dong Xinrui listened to it and didn't dare to reply no. Just now, he was only provoked by Mu Hui, so he lost his dignity and made a move.
"Concubine Yi is angry." Dong Xinrui hurriedly made a big salute, at this time, her position is not as good as others, how dare she be as sharp as before. His eyes swept over Mu Hui, and when he saw her looking at herself with a wicked smile, he realized that this girl was deliberately luring her to beat. Obviously, she dodged the first two times, but she couldn't dodge this time, she did it on purpose.
"It's good to be a concubine." Chunxi took Mu Hui and Ying'er away.
Dong Xinrui stood up straight with Yuan Shan's support, feeling uncomfortable for a while. Seeing a finger print on Yuan Shan's face, he was even more angry. Raising the hand is a slap, and adding another palm print on the other side.
"Useless minions."
Yuan Shan didn't dare to squeak, so she had to bear it stiffly.
"Hmph, Concubine Yi. I think you can be arrogant for a few days. When you know the news, I'm afraid there will be no such leisure to come here to enjoy the snow and paint. Your good days should come to an end. Looking at the back of the distant Chunxi, he said viciously.
was made such a fuss by the concubine, and Chunxi lost the interest in painting, so she packed up her things and went back to the palace.
As soon as she sat on the couch in the warm pavilion of the dormitory, she saw that the snow outside the window had stopped. Mu Hui made a pot of hot tea for her and brought the teacup to her.
Fu'er lifted the curtain and came in, and saw Chun Xi leaning over, looking out the window and contemplating. Embarrassed for a moment, he still said: "Niangniang, news just came from Chengqian Palace, saying that the imperial concubine is happy." ”
"Smack." Mu Hui, who was still holding the tea cup in her hand, slipped and shattered all over the ground.
"What?" Chun Xi also looked back from her contemplation and looked at her.
"The imperial concubine is pregnant." Fu'er bit her lower lip and repeated it again in embarrassment.
Chunxi immediately sat up straight, and asked again in disbelief, but got the same answer.
"For more than a decade, she hasn't been. How could it be this time. Chun Xi frowned, still in disbelief. It has been seventeen years since Tong Ruofei entered the palace, and the only thing she has been criticized for these years is that she can't have children.
Back then, in order to help Empress Xiaozhao win the throne, they also used rumors to say that she could not get pregnant. This prevented her from ascending to the back seat, and last year she failed to do so, in addition to the help of the ministers of the DPRK and China, which is also the reason.
The emperor returned to the palace, but in just four or five months, she actually had a child.
This sword, which had stabbed Tong Ruofei for many years, suddenly reversed its direction and stabbed it fiercely in Chunxi's heart. She never imagined that such a thing would happen. Even, no one else would have such thoughts. Such an extremely small possibility actually happened.
When she was still puzzled why Tong Ruofei was so quiet this year, she was given a heavy blow.
