Chapter 20: A Night Last
Qinglin Pavilion.
Yunyan put the news from the inquiry, and said to Sanya angrily: "Your lord, I heard that the emperor's dragon chariot was about to arrive at the Qinglin Pavilion last night, but for some reason, the imperial driver turned around and left. ”
Last night, the Qing Lin Pavilion waited left and right and did not see the emperor arrive, the outside of the hall was dark, there was no trace, and no one came to pass it.
Time flowed like a stream in the second half of the night, and the people sitting on the embroidery bed were sleepy, tired and hungry, and their waists began to ache faintly, and they couldn't stand up.
Yunyan waited a little impatiently, and said angrily: "Your lord, the emperor has come to the Qinglin Pavilion, but he has not arrived. There must be variables in this, so the master should go to bed as soon as possible, and don't get tired. As he spoke, he was going to come up and help Qi Sanya change the bedclothes he usually wore.
"Let's wait a little longer, in case there are 100,000 urgent matters in the imperial court, and the emperor will go back to deal with it, I don't know?" Qi Sanya was unwilling, and insisted on being patient.
The master and servant were talking with each other, and Yunyan saw that Sanya was tired, and ordered the palace maid who was keeping vigil in the outhouse to report as soon as there was any movement. Qi Sanya lay down in her clothes, and Yunyan sat beside her, guarding her. After a while, Yunyan was really sleepy, tilted his head and fell asleep.
When the two of them woke up, the sky was already bright, and the sun was shining through the window of Ayasuaki, and a new day had begun. Qi Sanya and Yunyan came to their senses, and the emperor did not appear in the Qinglin Pavilion all night last night.
Yunyan sent someone out to inquire, and learned that the emperor had turned around halfway and returned to the main hall.
"Your lord, what do you say will happen in the future? When this spread, I was afraid that the whole palace would laugh at it and make a big joke. Yun Yan swallowed his saliva and widened his eyes, "In the next few days, the people who are talking about our Qinglin Pavilion behind their backs will line up in a long line. ”
Cleaned his face with half-warm and half-cool water, picked up the pale lipstick, and slowly moistened Qi Sanya's delicate thin lips. What is this grievance? She has endured it for eighteen years in the Taiwei Mansion, and she still cares about this rumor? A ninja will become a great weapon.
"Yunyan, the road is long and obstructive, is it prohibitive or imminent, can you understand this truth?" Qi Sanya said casually. If she wants to get a place in the heart of the Queen Mother, she has to hold the shame of last night into her stomach.
"If you hear someone who dares to sarcastically mock you, master, the slave and maid will definitely knock these tongue-chewing people down." Yunyan's posture of sharpening the knife made Qi Sanya laugh "poof".
"Be calm." Qi Sanya patted the impetuous man on the shoulder, "Let's go, the time to say goodbye to the Queen Mother has come." ”
Today is the fifteenth day of the month, and the five sisters gathered outside the palace hall of the queen mother with the palace maids.
From a distance, they saw Qi Sanya walking towards this side with a cloud of smoke...... Their faces more or less had expressions of schadenfreude that could not be suppressed, and they looked at each other and smiled tacitly. When Qi Sanya approached, several sisters greeted her: "Noble sister is early!" ”
Qi Sanya's face was as usual and said, "Hello sisters, let's go in together." ”
Yun Yan rolled her eyes at the group of sisters who entered the palace with Qi Sanya.
Dressed in pink skirts and green shirts, everyone rushed in and entered the Queen Mother's Palace.
Empress Dowager Shen and Empress Ming were sitting on the top.
"The concubine invites the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother to be safe, and the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother are blessed with Jin'an." The six skillfully bowed and bowed.
"Flat, give a seat." The Queen Mother and the Queen Mother said one after the other.
"Empress Dowager Xie, Empress Empress Xie."
"Winter is coming, the weather will be cold, the mourning family and the queen are discussing, and they will ask for peace in Cining Palace, so as to save you two hard trips back and forth." Empress Dowager Shen smiled with her mother-in-law's kindness.
"Empress Dowager Xie is compassionate." The beautiful children's voices replied in unison.
Empress Dowager Shen glanced down with sharp eyes, and her gaze fell on Qi Sanya's body and face. She was doing business as usual, and she looked the same as usual. The Queen Mother sighed in her heart, suffering such a great humiliation, and there was no loneliness on her face. Could it be that the grudge against the mourning family and the emperor is rotten in the depths of my heart, or is it the patience of the identity of the concubine?
"The end of this month is the birthday of the mourning family, and there are six of you newlyweds in the palace, so I wanted to celebrate it, but the court has not been peaceful recently, and the barbarians are harassing the border ......" Empress Dowager Shen took a sip of hot tea and said in a worried tone: "Late last night, the emperor received an urgent document from the border express horse, and quickly returned to the main hall to deal with government affairs, and did not rest all night. The imperial court is in an eventful time, and the birthday of the mourning family can be as simple as possible. ”
Chewing on the voice of the Queen Mother's words, everyone heard it, and the Queen Mother said that the emperor "handled urgent documents last night and didn't rest all night".
Empress Ming took over: "Although the court is in trouble, the queen mother's birthday should be lively." On the birthday of the queen mother, each palace can show its talents and cheer up the queen mother. ”
"Yes, the queen mother, the concubine obeys orders, and it is the duty of the concubine to make the queen mother happy." Qi Sanya's voice leading the way was the loudest in a group of people.
Empress Dowager Shen smiled happily: "What a group of filial children, blessed to mourn the family!" ”
Until the end of the invitation, Qi Sanya behaved calmly, and the Queen Mother couldn't see half a clue, and she thought that Qi Guiren was really good.
