Chapter 20: Fire

Su Jieyu's expression moved slightly, and she said with a smile: "Yes, we put Your Majesty first." May I ask the general if Lord Jiang is okay? ”

"Master Jiang? Oh, as a guard in the inner court, he is also very busy. ”

After Sikong Jun finished speaking, Jing'er suddenly pursed her lips and smiled, looking shy.

Su Jieyu felt strange: "Don't be rude, why are you chuckling in front of the general, Jing'er, quickly make amends to the general." ”

Jing'er let out an "oh" and said with a red face: "The slave maid does not compensate the general, the slave maid just thinks that the general is loyal and dedicated to the country, but he also does not lose the tenderness of the man, and the combination of rigidity and softness." The slave and maid are talking nonsense, and I hope the general will not blame. ”

Sikong Jun laughed heartily: "How can you blame the girl, I don't know why the girl sees that I am both strong and soft, is it because my voice is softer when I talk to your little master?" ”

Jing'er curts: "The general wears a coral bracelet on his wrist, which must have been given by the general's mother." The general wears it every day, how can it not be considered a man's tenderness? Master Jiang also wears a sachet from time to time, which shows that although he is a hot-blooded man, he is inevitably a little soft. ”

Under the moonlight, the coral bracelet also glows with a faint luster, like raindrops falling on it, turning into crystals. Su Jieyu saw that Sikong Jun was a little joking, but Jing'er said a few more words.

Sikong Jun looked at the bracelet and said with a smile: "Oh, this thing is indeed a gift from others, but it is not a mother." The palace maids in Su Jieyu's palace are really interesting, and her speech is as pertinent as Jieyu's, and she is really a good person trained by Jieyu. ”

Su Jieyu said with a smile: "Where is it, Jing'er has no culture and is used to talking nonsense. After I inquired about Lord Jiang, there is nothing else to do, general, you slowly inspect, and I will go back to the palace first. ”

"Congratulations to Jieyu."

After sending Su Jieyu off, Sikong Jun took a team of forbidden troops and continued to inspect the west of the Lin De Palace. The night dew on the ground reflected the palace lamps in Yongxiang, and the boots of the forbidden army stepped on them, causing a burst of noise, and gradually dissipated towards the west.

Late at night when the New Year was approaching, Su Jieyu and Jing'er cut the window flowers and pasted them on the long window to have fun. Su Jieyu was ingenious, and after a while, she cut out a few pairs of mandarin ducks, took out a sachet, and sewed the thorns carefully.

"Is it for Master Jiang again?" Jing'er asked.

Su Jieyu smiled warmly: "Yes, when I first entered the palace, Concubine De was arrogant, fortunately, with Lord Jiang protecting us, we can be stable until now, don't you know." Therefore, I will never forget the kindness of Lord Jiang. ”

Jing'er nodded, and also cut the mandarin duck: "It's a pity that Lord Jiang can't come to the harem to patrol from time to time now." ”

"It's okay if you don't come," Su Jieyu said in a low voice: "It's too much, it will inevitably arouse suspicion, and when the time comes, people with ulterior motives will know about it, and I'm afraid I will die without a place to be buried." ”

In just half an hour, Su Jieyu cut all the mandarin ducks.

Jing'er's expression looked confused in the candlelight, and Su Jieyu asked Jing'er to bring water and prepare to freshen up and go to bed. Jing'er brought hot water and served Su Jieyu to sit down.

Jing'er seemed to think for a long time, and said hesitantly: "Little master, last time you said that you wanted to choose a good family for the slave maid. ”

Su Jieyu raised her forehead slightly and said with a smile: "Why do you think of this again?" ”

Jing'er smiled slightly and shook her head: "It's nothing, it's just that it's almost the New Year, and I'm a year older, so it's really like a shuttle of time." ”

The hall contains quiet and warm, and the water vapor of the hot water is swirling, like fog and smoke.

"You're still young, like I should sigh that the days are in a hurry." Su Jieyu quipped.

Jing'er smiled lightly and said nothing, and seriously washed Su Jieyuhuan's hands.

"Okay," Su Jieyu said in a low voice: "In three days, I will lead everyone to the Meritorious Temple to pray for blessings, we have nothing to do in the past two days or so, so let's clean up and find the manpower first." ”

Two days later, it was Chinese New Year's Eve family feast. Early this morning, Sikong Jun also led the army to set off and head south to Queensland.

At night, the Dayin Palace is like a sea of joy up and down, and the Taiji Palace is the most lively, with silk and bamboo orchestras, and sheng songs are continuous. Suddenly, there was a loud "boom" in the night sky, like thunder, attracting countless people to look up.

At this moment, the sky above the Great Yin Palace was full of gorgeous and dazzling fireworks, like roses struggling to bloom. Red, yellow, purple and green, purple and red, the illusion is like a shower of stars, and it is beautiful and gorgeous like a goddess scattering flowers.

The family should not lie down, and the lovesickness has to dream of the soul.

Chinese New Year's Eve,Chinese New Year's Eve......

Suddenly, another explosion came, like a monstrous wave hitting the cliff on the shore, causing an uproar among the people in the Taiji Palace, followed by silence.

The queen got up and calmed down: "Your Majesty, it's nothing more than fireworks, it's okay, it's okay." ”

But it was a burst of exclamations from the direction of the Shang Palace Bureau, and the "grunting" sound of the water dragon began to sound outside the Taiji Palace, and some palace people desperately shouted "Go to the water, go to the water", accompanied by the sound of hurried footsteps, obviously things are not so simple.

The emperor was startled, and everyone got up: "Where! Where is the fire?! ”

The eunuch outside hurriedly ran in, his knees hit the ground heavily, and a drag mark slid out: "Your Majesty, it's not good, the Shanggong Bureau is out of water, the division of the Shanggong Bureau is out of the water!" ”

Concubine De rushed forward and asked, "You mean the Shang Palace Bureau?" How can a good person go to the water? ”

"Minions, minions don't know either. Your Majesty, Your Majesty, send someone to put out the fire quickly, Your Majesty! ”

The emperor's head was dizzy, and he hurriedly ordered all the palace people on errand to rush over in order. A burst of smoke drifted from the direction of the Shanggong Bureau, and on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, it was like a dark cloud in the starry sky, and it was a little moving, but it made people shudder.

King Qian's eyes blinked quickly, knelt down at the emperor's knees, and said, "Father, for some reason, Erchen thinks that this is not like an ordinary fire. ”

"Nonsense, can it be called a fire?!"

"Erchen is talking about the explosion just now," Qian Wang explained, "It is Chinese New Year's Eve tonight, and everyone has learned how cold it is outside, so it can be seen that it is not an ordinary water, plus the explosion just now......"

Concubine De looked at King Qian and asked, "So hurry up to extinguish the fire and find out the truth!" ”

In the past year and a half, almost all the emperors and queens have fled in Huazhou, and most of the things in the harem are handled by Concubine De, although Concubine De is domineering, she will also govern the harem up and down in an orderly manner, because the Shanggong Bureau is a rare place for female officials in the Dayin Palace, and it should be under the jurisdiction of Concubine De. The Shanggong Bureau was originally taken care of by the queen, and the queen has not been in the palace for more than a year, but Concubine De took the opportunity to install a lot of eyeliner in the Shanggong Bureau.
