Chapter 048: Fold His Wings
readx;? In a few days, General Gu will be back......
Yun Yao looked at the back of Jianyue leaving, thinking about this sentence in her mind, and a sweetness appeared in her heart. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
It's been almost a month in the blink of an eye, Gu Qingming came back from the border pass, does it mean that his promise to himself under the Tang pear blossom will also be fulfilled?
With such thoughts, Yun Yao has been a little apprehensive in recent days.
Bi Shui's death was like a stone thrown into the vast ocean in the hearts of everyone in the Hunting Palace, and after a ripple, there was no trace, and there was nowhere to find it.
But Lu Yingquan always remembered this, and always remembered that in addition to Jianyue, she also had a benefactor, that is, Su Xin.
"Yun Yao, Sister Su Xin has done us a great favor this time, I want to send something to thank her, but I can't find anything good when I look for it. After Lu Yingquan turned the whole room through, he said to Yun Yao with some frustration.
"I remember you said that you didn't learn anything else in Langyue Pavilion, but you have practiced your cooking skills in half a year. Yun Yao thought about it, gave Yingquan an idea, and said, "Otherwise, let's go to the small kitchen and make snacks for Sister Su Xin in person, what do you think?"
"That's a good idea! You know, I couldn't eat well in Langyue Pavilion in the past, and what I was best at was to make food with those leftover ingredients from the kitchen. Yingquan nodded, said that the wind is rain, and pulled Yun Yao and ran towards the small kitchen.
This is not the time for the cooks to cook, and there is no one else in the small kitchen except for a few rough palace maids who do chores.
Chef Lu Yingquan and Yun Yao started to do it, one of them washed rice, and the other went to the courtyard outside to find some peach blossoms, washed them, and then crushed them into powder with glutinous rice, and then made them into fragrant peach blossom cakes.
After about an hour, the two of them smelled the fragrance in the small kitchen and knew that the pastry was steamed.
"That's it!" Lu Yingquan opened the steamer, took out the pastries one by one, and then carefully packed them in a small box, and put them neatly one by one, very beautiful.
"Let's go, Sister Su Xin is not on an errand today, let's go to her room. Yun Yao and Lu Yingquan went to Su Xin's room with a snack box.
Su Xin lives in a room alone, everyone thinks that Su Xin has been in the palace for a long time and has old qualifications, so she will have such treatment, but Yun Yao knows that it is because of Luo Gonggong's care openly and secretly.
Hearing the knock on the door, Su Xin opened the door, looked at the two girls standing outside, and couldn't help laughing: "It's you!
"Yingquan personally made pastries to thank you, and I accompanied her over. Yun Yao answered.
"Yes, but I haven't made pastries for a long time, and I don't know if it tastes good or not, Sister Suxin, don't dislike it. Lu Yingquan smiled and held the food box in front of Su Xin, and then lifted the lid.
The moment the lid is untied, a sweet smell of glutinous rice comes to the face, mixed with the faint fragrance of peach blossoms, mixed together, if there is nothing, refreshing.
"Is it a glutinous rice cake?" Su Xin smiled, took out a piece from the food box, put it under her nose and sniffed it, and then put it back in the food box.
"Sister Su Xin, why don't you eat?" Lu Yingquan asked with some confusion when he saw Su Xin's movements.
"By the way, Yingquan, do you remember the wine that the two of us secretly brewed with Tang pear blossoms at the beginning of spring?" Yun Yao heard Lu Yingquan's question, deliberately diverted the topic, and said, "Pastries are more flavorful with a little flower wine, why don't you dig out that small bottle of wine, and let's celebrate with Sister Su Xin?"
"If you don't say that I forgot it, then you wait for me here, I'll come right away!" Lu Yingquan nodded, and didn't bother to ask Su Xin why he didn't eat pastries, so he ran outside with his skirt.
After Lu Yingquan left, Yun Yao picked up the piece of pastry that Su Xin had just taken, put it in her mouth, took a bite gently, and then said:
"Sister Su Xin, this is made by Yingquan for you to eat, I will secretly taste a piece, don't tell her. ā
"Alright, ghost elf, you're smart. Su Xin watched Yun Yao's movements and couldn't help but sigh, "You know, since ten years ago, I have stopped eating anything that others have given me. ā
Yun Yao listened to Su Xin's words, and the smile on her face suddenly retracted, she put down the pastry in her hand, and said slowly: "I thought you just didn't believe me and Yingquan, so you didn't eat this pastry just now." ā
"If you don't believe me, I won't help you like this. Su Xin said, "I don't dare to say anything else, but you, I can still trust you." You are smart, careful, courageous, know how to judge the situation, and most importantly, you are not bad-hearted. But this pastry, I'm afraid it's going to disappoint Yingquan's kindness, even if it's not poisonous, I won't take a bite. ā
Yun Yao listened to Su Xin's words, and her heart suddenly suffocated, from ten years ago to today, Su Xin has always lived with such a defensive mentality, refusing any closeness from the outside world, even if it is kindness.
What kind of story does she have? What is the reason why she should have been released from the palace at the age of twenty-five, but she gave up her freedom and wasted three years?
It's a pity that she has no position to ask this, and she doesn't know how to speak.
After being silent for a while, Yun Yao raised her head, smiled, and said, "Since this is the case, it can only be said that Sister Suxin has no mouth, and by the way, she will cheap me, because Yingquan herself will definitely not be able to eat it, and I have to help her eat it." ā
"It's not a good thing to be stupid, I thought you'd ask me. Su Xin looked at Yun Yao, a little helpless.
"If Sister Su Xin wants to say it, even if I don't ask, you will say it. Yun Yao said, "Everyone has some unspeakable past events in their hearts, these past events are hidden deep in their hearts, some will pass with time, gradually fade away, until they are forgotten, but some ...... But with the passage of time, it will slowly corrode and penetrate deep into the bone marrow. There are enough secrets in this palace, and I have no intention of revealing other people's scars. ā
"Ten years ago, Yuehe and I were only eighteen years old, but it has been six years since we entered the palace. Su Xin glanced at Yun Yao and slowly spoke, "In the past six years, we have wanted you to be the same as Yingquan, supporting each other, watching and helping each other, no matter what happens, we will carry it together and face it together." But later, people's hearts could not resist the temptation of interests after all, and at that time, ...... Just when the old aunt's physical condition in the Yeting Palace was deteriorating......"
Su Xin's voice was calm and tactful, as if telling an innocuous story.
But Yun Yao saw from her ethereal eyes that every scene of this incident was deeply imprinted in Su Xin's mind, even if it took her ten years to accept the facts and calm down, these pictures still lingered and will always exist.
The people in the palace were warm and cold, Yun Yao Su could see it clearly, she listened quietly, with a compassionate but powerless mood.
Competition is always cruel, even between good sisters, there is no affection at all.
The old aunt had tuberculosis, coughed every day and night, had unstable food, and couldn't sleep at night, and gradually became a little powerless in the management of the Yeting Palace.
But the old aunt is a person trusted by the Queen Mother, and the errand is handed over to others, and the Queen Mother is not at ease, so she can only let the old aunt hold on until a suitable replacement is selected to help the Queen Mother take care of the trivial matters of the palace.
Generally speaking, to become a female official from a palace maid, unless the queen mother and the emperor give you the gift, you can only wait until the age is reached, enter the selection, and the capable person will live there.
But at that time, there were no palace maids of the same age and experience, so the queen mother wanted to choose one of the original palace maids in the Yeting Palace, so as to take over the position of the old aunt.
Yuehe and Su Xin were the oldest and had been in the palace for the longest time, they were originally the most likely two people, but there was only one position for the aunt in charge, no matter who they were on, the remaining one would be eliminated and become a third-class palace maid who was subordinate to others.
So, Yuehe made a move.
A plate of pastries with ** was sent to Su Xin's hands, Su Xin did not defend it, she actually ate it all, and the moment before she fell into a coma, she clearly saw Yuehe's lips move, and said three words "Don't blame me".
Su Xin was awakened by the footsteps of a group of people in the Ting Palace, she just got up from the ground, and before she could look where she was, the door was pushed open, and the old aunt led a group of mothers-in-law in under the leadership of Yuehe.
"Auntie, Su Xin entered this room with my own eyes...... "Yuehe's voice sounded, with a hint of eagerness.
Su Xin looked towards the door, but only heard the old aunt ask her: "Su Xin, I usually treat you well, and I also know that you are sensible and obedient, and you are tolerant, originally the position of the aunt in charge was intended to be left to you, but why do you want to do so much and come here to peek at the exam questions?"
Before Su Xin could speak, she was grabbed by two mothers-in-law and walked out, and when she looked back, she saw clearly that the place she was in just now turned out to be the old aunt's room, and it is said that the exam questions for the selection of the aunt in charge this time were placed in it.
A deliberate frame-up, a competition for the upper position, let Su Xin see through Yuehe, see through people's hearts, and from now on, never eat anything sent by others.
Once bitten by a snake, he was afraid of the well rope for ten years. She would rather be called pretentious, that she is cold and isolated, than that she will be calculated again.
"That's how you came here. After Yun Yao heard the whole story, she said, "But I don't understand, you can protect yourself today and wait for the opportunity to move, but why do you want to put such a crime on Bishui and Xiao Yuanzi......? Isn't that exposing yourself?"
"You think I'm impulsive?" Su Xin smiled, "I know, there are some things you can't do, so I'll do it." Framing Bishui and Xiaoyuanzi is just the first step in my revenge. Aunt Yue collects so many benefits and silver taels on weekdays, and also embezzles the middle feed of the Ting Palace, all of which are brought out by Xiao Yuanzi in the name of going out of the palace to hunt for treasures, and are deposited for her in the money bank. When she is old, she will step down from the position of the aunt in charge, and then go out of the palace to enjoy the blessings. ā
