Chapter 120: Hibiscus Girl
Ruohan pointed to the woman and said, "Princess, this is the weaver lady of the Great Weaving House, Bai Hibiscus. ”
"Hibiscus," I nodded, admiringly, "a good name." ”
Hibiscus flowers, also known as infinity flowers, are not colorful and precious flowers, but they are extremely tenacious.
The young woman bowed to me and said generously, "Thank you, princess." ”
"Is that the handkerchief embroidered by this hibiscus girl?" Qiu An asked with some confusion as he stepped forward, but his eyes kept on staring at the hibiscus girl.
Bai Hibiscus nodded, seemingly reluctant to mention the matter.
Ruohan suddenly remembered something, and asked Qiu An: "I don't know where I learned about Miao Xiu?"
Qiu An did not hide the slightest, "I entered the palace when I was young, and I followed Mama Lan Gui for a while, she treated me very well at that time, I have seen her embroider things according to the stitch method of Miao embroidery, so when I saw the handkerchief carefully, I recognized the stitch method." ”
The white hibiscus girl suddenly raised her head at this time, and her bright eyes were filled with water, corresponding to the candle flame in the room, "Aunt Qiu'an knows my aunt and grandmother?"
"What, Mama Lan Gui is your aunt and grandmother?" Qiu An was very surprised, stepped forward and took Bai Hibiscus's hand, looked up and down, seemed to be a little incredulous, and asked, "So, the girl is the heir of this generation of Miao embroidery?"
Bai Hibiscus nodded, looked at Qiu An, and said movingly: "Grandmother Lan Gui is my grandfather's sister, I only saw her once when I was a child, she has great kindness to our Bai family, and because she works in the palace, we have eaten well and lived a prosperous life, my father and mother have always said when I was a child, I must remember the kindness of my aunt and grandmother." ”
Later, "the hibiscus girl's tears fell like beads of broken thread, as if some painful memory was remembered in her mind." "Later, my aunt and grandmother lost their lives in the palace, and our whole family was also killed by the people in the palace, and only I survived. ”
Aunt Ruohan seemed to know Bai Hibiscus's background, but when she mentioned it again, she still frowned and looked at Bai Hibiscus with love.
Qiu An was also embarrassed, suddenly reacted, and asked suspiciously: "Back then, Emperor Zixi was poisoned by others, and the people in the first palace were convicted of protecting the lord and unfavorably, and they all lost their lives innocently, I was still young at that time, and I was sent out of the Hesui Palace by Emperor Zixi in advance, so that I was able to save my life, but I secretly checked later, the lives of the people in that palace back then were not all blamed on His Majesty the Emperor, and His Majesty the Emperor of the People's Emperor definitely did not have the will to kill the nine clans or the whole family, girl, are you mistaken?"
"No, it won't. Bai Hibiscus's eyes flashed with a fire-like demeanor, and she was quickly suppressed again, and glanced at Aunt Ruohan, "I was rescued by my aunt in that massacre, and I grew up with my aunt and worked in the Great Weaving House. ”
Aunt Ruoshuang opened her mouth at this time and said to Bai Hibiscus: "If Miss Qiu'an really investigated, it is possible that the group of people back then was really a false messenger. ”
Bai Hibiscus still didn't believe it, "No, it's impossible, those people obviously said that it was the will of His Majesty the Human Emperor." ”
Aunt Ruoshuang sighed helplessly: "The will, it may also be fake, Jin'er, maybe you have hated the wrong person all these years." ”
The white hibiscus girl was a little broken, standing there for a while, Qiu An hurriedly stepped forward to help: "Girl, don't be like this, Mama Lan Gui treated me very well back then, so I recognized the Miao embroidery on the handkerchief, but I didn't expect her to have descendants alive." ”
Qiu An coaxed Bai Hibiscus twice, and then asked: "For so many years, you have always thought that it was the poisonous hand of His Majesty the Human Emperor?"
Bai Hibiscus shook his head, nodded again, and said in response to the question: "I am alone in the palace, I am weak, hiding my identity, I am fortunate to be able to live in peace, how can I still have the heart to care who the enemy is, today is also Aunt Ruoshuang went to check your past, knowing that you and my aunt and grandmother are old acquaintances, so I dare to bring me to see you, although I have hatred in my heart, but my aunt and grandmother want me to live well, and I can't even affect Aunt Ruoshuang and the Great Weaving." ”
"Good boy. Aunt Ruoshuang was very moved at this time, her eyes were also full of water, and she looked at Bai Hibiscus and said.
"I know your mind, you are indeed a good boy. ”
Bai Hibiscus is actually older than me, but somehow, I feel very sorry for him in my heart.
Of course, I also admired Bai Hibiscus's temperament, and suddenly remembered the business again, handed the handkerchief to Bai Hibiscus, and asked her, "Girl, look, this handkerchief is from your hand?"
Bai Hibiscus didn't look at the veil, and said directly: "Don't hide it from the princess, the veil was indeed embroidered by me." ”
Bai Hibiscus's calmness made me breathe a sigh of relief, and persuaded her: "Don't be afraid, I'm not looking for you to ask for guilt, but because of this veil, there is an unjust case in the imperial city, and if you don't find out the real culprit behind the scenes, I'm afraid that there will be no more peaceful days in the harem." ”
I didn't say it too bluntly, but I felt that Hibiscus and Aunt Wakafrost knew what I was saying.
"Aunt Ruoshuang told me before she brought me here today, saying that Aunt Qiu'an is an old acquaintance of my aunt and grandmother, and I should know everything about their affection. Hibiscus said with her eyes down.
Miss Bai Hibiscus then talked to me about the handkerchief, and Aunt Ruoshuang listened to it, and she mentioned some omissions on the side.
On that day, a woman in palace clothes came to the big weaving office, wearing the clothes of the female official of the Hesui Palace, with the token of the Pingyu Emperor, and handed the plain handkerchief to Aunt Rushuang, saying that it was at the will of the emperor, so that Aunt Ruoshuang could find a weaving girl with rare techniques to embroider a picture, preferably the kind that others can't see what the embroidery method is, and there is no way to check the source.
No one in the palace except Aunt Ruoshuang knew that Bai Hibiscus could embroider seedlings, and in a hurry, Aunt Ruoshuang handed over the errand to Bai Hibiscus, and Bai Hibiscus finished embroidering in just a short time. The female officer took the veil and hurried away, never stopping again.
"Is that female official Xia Ran?" Qiu An hurriedly asked Bai Hibiscus.
Bai Hibiscus shook her head, and Aunt Ruoshuang explained: "I know Xia Ran, but that female official is not Aunt Xia Ran, her eyes are very raw, she is just wearing the clothes of Hesui Palace, and she is holding the token of Emperor Pingyu, you also know, we are doing things in the palace, and seeing the token of Emperor Ji is like seeing Emperor Ji, there is no way to disobey it." ”
Qiu An nodded deeply and glanced at me, as if to prove to me that Aunt Rushuang was true.
Bai Hibiscus also said at this time: "Before, only Aunt Ruoshuang knew that I was the heir of Miao embroidery in the imperial city of Nuoda, and I thought that after all, it was the will of Emperor Pingyu, and I embroidered it, so I didn't think much about it." ”
Ruoshuang looked outside at this time, and found that the doors and windows were closed, and there was no movement in the courtyard, so she whispered to me: "The reason why I hid this matter is because the female official who was born in the eyes warned me not to leak this matter before leaving, she was under the secret order of Emperor Pingyu, if half a word is leaked, dozens of weavers in the big weaving institute will die because of this, so the slave maid hid everything from the princess that day, and I hope the princess will not blame." ”
Speaking of this, Ruoshuang knelt down, and Bai Hibiscus also knelt down with Ruoshuang, and I hurriedly helped them up, "Aunt Ruoshuang said something, you can tell me this, it's too late for me to be grateful, how can I blame." ”
