It is already May 23, and the day of the queen's birthday is getting closer and closer, but the hearts of the two are becoming more and more unstable.
The moment I got up and pushed open the door, a cool breath came to my face, and the flowers and trees outside and even the roof felt new, but it turned out that it was raining, and the rain washed everything and washed everything.
The rain was dripping, not too big, but it didn't mean to stop.
The bluestone paved road in the palace was a little slippery, and the palace maids walked on it with their small feet, so they were extra cautious, for fear that if they were not careful, they would stain their skirts and lose people.
"At this time of the year, it always rains for a long time, and it's really sad. Yun Yao held an umbrella and walked side by side with Yingquan, raising her eyes to look around, and the palace maids all lowered their heads, sometimes they didn't even see the umbrella hit one place, which added a lot of trouble.
"That is, the rain of this season is the most annoying, if it is too big to go out, we can rest in the house, but it is so small that we can't escape the errand, but it is even more inconvenient. Lu Yingquan also complained casually.
"No way, the queen's birthday is coming, we can't hide in the house and do nothing. Yun Yao would comfort herself.
"If you only plan for the queen's birthday, it's fine. Lu Yingquan pouted, a little sullen, "Look at the road on the ground, it's all muddy water, and some people don't know where they came from, they have so much mud on their feet, and it's all stuck to it, and when the rain stops, if the two of us can't enter the inner palace, won't we have to clean this road?"
Yun Yao listened to Yingquan's words, and couldn't help but chuckle for a while, laughing at Yingquan's childishness.
"Okay, in case you really can't enter the inner palace, we'll go and ask Sister Su Xin to arrange an easier errand for you, and won't let you come to sweep the road, okay?" Yun Yao's tone was a little helpless, but it was also tolerant.
When the two of them arrived at the Fenglai Water Pavilion, they put away the umbrella and put it by the door, and then, together with the other palace maids, tore off a layer of oilcloth and covered all the tables in the open-air courtyard, so as not to be damaged by the rain.
"You guys, move all these chairs to the hallway and put them in the hallway, and wait for the feast day to be set up. Aunt Tassel walked in, and when she saw that everyone was consciously busy, she nodded with satisfaction, and commanded casually.
Everyone tied the corners of the tarpaulin to the table legs with ropes, covered the fine Nanmu carved mat table tightly, and then moved all the chairs that had been placed in the corridor and placed them neatly.
In the open-air courtyard, only those peony flowers were swaying in the rain, but no one cared about them, after all, although everyone knew that on the day of the feast, peonies were to be placed in this courtyard.
Yun Yao and Lu Yingquan, the two of you go and count all the spare things, and then move them to Qionghuatai, and the others go to the imperial dining room with me to help count the wine glasses, silver plates and other utensils needed. Aunt Tassel said, then with a wave, she turned to leave.
Originally, the palace maids who had come to the water pavilion left behind her, leaving only Yun Yao and Lu Yingquan standing in place, not moving.
"Is there a mistake! The counting instrument is just a count, do you need so many people? There are so many spare stools, chairs, and lanterns, and the fireworks needed for the banquet, so heavy, and it only needs the two of us to carry it?" Lu Yingquan looked at the figure of everyone leaving one after another, and stomped his feet in anger.
"Aunt Tassel is just deliberately embarrassing, everyone can see it. Yun Yao said, "Let's go, it's raining, it's inconvenient to walk on the road, and it must be slower than usual." If it can't be done, I'm afraid that Aunt Tassel won't be good. ”
The two walked along the corridor to the door, ready to take an umbrella to Qionghuatai, but saw a bunch of umbrellas that were originally placed at the door, but at this time, there was no one.
"Even if you deliberately make things difficult, you don't need to fix us like this, right? Even take away the umbrella and deliberately let us get drenched in the rain!" Lu Yingquan said angrily, then pulled Yun Yao and rushed out of the wind and water pavilion, "We have to run quickly, this rain is not big, it is not small, if you are soaked, you will have to suffer from the wind and cold when you go back for another day." ”
Yun Yao and Lu Yingquan held hands and ran towards Qionghuatai.
I ran in a hurry, and occasionally my feet slipped and I almost fell, but the hands of the two of them always pulled together and supported each other to avoid the dilemma of falling to the ground.
After a while, they soon arrived at Qionghuatai, and the two began to complete the errand ordered by Aunt Tassel.
Lu Yingquan was more powerful, so he was responsible for moving the things to the house and putting them away, while Yun Yao counted them in the same place, put aside all the things that were confirmed to be correct after the counting, and waited for Yingquan to move in, and the two of them cooperated, and the speed was not slow, and they also completed a small half of those things in half of the day.
When it was almost noon, the two of them were completely tired and could not move, so they rested against the pillars of the cloister.
"Yun Yao, it's almost time for lunch, if we go to eat together and then come back, it will definitely delay time. Lu Yingquan said, "Why don't we come here, you go to eat first, I'll count here while slowly moving inside, and then come back to change me when you're done, okay?"
"Well, here's the way to do it. When I came back, I just brought two more umbrellas, so that the rain would not be heavier for a while, and we wouldn't even be able to go back to the Ting Palace. Yun Yao nodded and agreed to Yingquan's proposal.
After resting for a while, Yun Yao told Yingquan a few words, then left Qionghuatai and headed in the direction of Yeting Palace.
Lu Yingquan himself counted the spare things for the day of the banquet here, and then moved them inside, although the speed was much slower, but the progress was also slowly completed.
After Yun Yao returned to Yeting Palace, she didn't delay, she went directly to the dining room, hurriedly ate something, and brought two nests to Yingquan before returning to the room, taking an umbrella, and rushing towards Qionghuatai.
"Yun Yao, are you back?" Aunt Su Xin said that if you come back, go to her room, she has something to explain to you. Just when Yun Yao was about to leave the palace, a voice came from behind her, saying so.
Yun Yao turned around, but saw Rumei standing behind her, speaking for Su Xin.
"Do you know what Aunt Su Xin is looking for me?" Yun Yao was a little puzzled.
During this time, she and Yingquan were transferred to the outside on an errand, Sister Suxin hadn't looked for them for a long time, even if there was something, it was at night, she went to their room to say a few words and left, how could she look for her at this time?
"I don't know, she's in the room, why don't you go there. Rumei said, "Are you going to send the nest head and umbrella in your hand to Yingquan? Why don't you tell me where she is, and I'll send them for you?"
"No need, I'm not in a hurry, I'll go to Aunt Suxin first, and then I'll send an umbrella to Yingquan. Yun Yao rejected Rumei's proposal, only thanked her, and then went to Su Xin.
Seeing Yun Yao coming, a trace of surprise flashed in Su Xin's eyes, and she asked, "Why are you here?"
"Didn't you call me here and say that you had something to explain to me?" Yun Yao suddenly had a bad premonition in her heart, "It was Rumei who informed me to come." ”
"That was yesterday, when I saw Rumei, I casually asked if I saw you and Yingquan. Su Xin said clearly, "It's not a big deal, I just want to ask if Grandpa Luo has anything to say to you." ”
"Sister Suxin is bothered, Grandpa Luo has already mentioned us. Yun Yao nodded and said, "But...... Yesterday's events, why did Rumei tell me today?"
"Do you think there's something wrong?" Su Xin asked as she looked at Yun Yao's expression.
"I thought something was wrong, but I didn't know what was wrong. Yun Yao's heart was full of doubts, and then said, "Since Sister Suxin has nothing else to do, I'll go on an errand first, Yingquan hasn't eaten yet, I'll replace her and come back." ”
"Go ahead, watch out for yourself. Su Xin nodded, waved her hand at Yun Yao, and watched her leave.
Yun Yao delayed at Su Xin's place for a while, afraid that Yingquan would be hungry, so her steps quickened. Fortunately, at this time, the rain had stopped for a while, and the road was a lot more convenient, and I soon arrived at Qionghuatai.
However, when Yun Yao arrived at Qionghuatai, she didn't see Lu Yingquan, she searched in every room, but she didn't see Yingquan.
Yun Yao was a little strange, she wondered if it would be Yingquan who went to the toilet, so she waited at Qionghuatai for a while.
But the time of a cup of tea passed, but she didn't see Yingquan come back, she didn't even know when Yingquan left Qionghuatai, just when she was full of doubts, she saw an umbrella in the corner of the main hall.
Originally, there was no umbrella here, and there was no when she left, which means that someone came after she left.
Just as she was thinking like this, she heard a sound of footsteps coming in from outside, and when she followed the sound, it was Shuwen from the Ting Palace.
"Shuwen, why are you here?" asked Yun Yao in some surprise.
She remembered that Shuwen was not divided to prepare for the queen's birthday ceremony, and at this time, Shuwen should not appear here.
"I came with you, and I waited outside for a long time, and there was no one in this Qionghuatai, so I just came in and wanted to ask you something. Shuwen's expression was a little weird, and she didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd.
"What's the matter?" Yun Yao was a little anxious in her heart, "If it's not very important, you come to our room in the evening and say, okay?" I'm in a hurry to find Yingquan now." ”
"It doesn't matter to me, but not necessarily to you. Shuwen said, "Let me ask you, what did Manager Luo say to you under the tree next to you a few days ago?"
When Yun Yao heard this, her heart was stunned, and she looked at Shuwen with a silent expression, and she didn't speak for a long time.
She had long known that there were many people in the palace, but at that time, she had clearly seen it, and there were no others around. No matter how careful you are, you still get seen, and ...... She wasn't even sure if Shuwen had heard the conversation between them and Grandpa Luo.
"What do you mean?" Yun Yao asked with an unchanged face as she stared at Shuwen tightly.
"Don't pretend, I've seen it all, why are you stuffing money for Grandpa Luo?" Shuwen asked, "You guys...... Is there any benefit for Grandpa Luo?"
