Chapter 46: The Birds
The rain had stopped outside, and the dripping droplets of water dripped through the dense leaves, disturbing the birds combing their feathers on the branches, and it chirped twice in fright, and then spread its wings and flew away, and the sound of flapping its wings spread was like a pleasant and moving tune, falling on Shen Qingjiao's ears, so that she couldn't help but stop and watch.
Under the dark night, the whiteness of the bird's belly was particularly obvious, and Shen Qingjiao watched it out of sight and flew towards the outside of the imperial city, just like the paper kite that had also regained its freedom a long time ago, but this time, the envy in Shen Qingjiao's eyes turned into indifference.
That's right, what do you envy what you can't get in your life? It's just a matter of adding troubles in vain.
Shen Qingjiao knocked on the door of the ear room, and soon someone came to open it, and the frost had a stern face, and when she saw that it was Shen Qingjiao, she hurriedly shouted inside: "Auntie is back." ”
Several people inside pulled their shoes and all gathered around, Shen Qingjiao dispersed the four of them with a smile, and faced Qiu Vagina on the other hand: "Qiu Yin, the Queen Mother has passed the word, and you will have to work hard to keep vigil today." ”
Qiu Yin was stunned, and saw Shen Qingjiao holding a dress that was obviously different from that of the palace maid in her arms, her face instantly became embarrassed, she pulled out the smile at the corner of her mouth like a marionette, and uncomfortably took her eyes away from the bright clothes, and saluted: "Where did my aunt say, my aunt had also been on duty for the slave maid many times before, and it should be that the slave maid worked harder for the aunt more." ”
Shen Qingjiao didn't pull too much to other places, let the door open and said, "It's late, let's go early." ” 🅼.𝓥𝕆𝓓🆃𝙬.🄲𝙤𝕄
Qiu Yin bit her lip, reluctantly turned around and walked away three times in one step, Scattered Frost and Luoyue still wanted to ask a few words, Shen Qingjiao waved her hand again and again, and said that she was tired, and when she lifted the curtain and returned to the house, Shen Qingjiao and Honeysuckle brushed their eyes against each other, she looked calm and nodded her head lightly, and Honeysuckle quickly lowered her head, for fear that the other two would notice something wrong.
At this time, Shen Qingjiao returned to the house, put aside the clothes prepared for her by the Queen Mother, and emitted the light of red tourmaline on her fingers, as if in the dim jungle, the bloodthirsty beast locked the prey, Shen Qingjiao's eyes flashed with disgust, she turned the ring, took it off regardless of the pain, thought about it, pulled out the makeup drawer box on the side, threw it in, and waited to move to a new residence in the future.
Someone in the room prepared water for her early in the room, Shen Qingjiao relaxed her long hair with a faint expression, bent down to scoop water, and poured the water with begonia pollen on the green silk, in the house, the fragrance of begonias suddenly filled the confined space, Shen Qingjiao didn't have to think about it to know that it was the meaning of honeysuckle.
She smiled, took a dry towel and wiped her hair, turned her head and stretched out her hand to push open the window, the cold air swept in, the shadow of the magnolia outside the window was gone, replaced by lush green, Shen Qingyao thought in a trance, summer may really be coming.
In the early morning of the next day, Honeysuckle sneaked in to wake up Shen Qingjiao, Shen Qingjiao didn't sleep well all night, and now it was a little dark blue, she didn't care, she combed an ordinary bun according to the daily way of grooming, Honeysuckle looked outside the palace, came to her side and said: "Auntie, Qiuyin came back early in the morning, her face didn't look very good, and said to the slave maid, the queen mother has explained, so that you don't have to go over to serve for breakfast, and when the right opportunity comes, the slave and maid will come to call you to the inner hall." ”
Honeysuckle thought about it, and said with a solemn face: "Auntie, yesterday you and the Queen Mother were in the inner hall, and it was Qiuyin who was guarding outside the palace, and when she came back this morning, she drooped her face and was very angry, the slave maid thought..."
"There's nothing to worry about." Shen Qingjiao carefully applied a layer of pearl powder to her face, and used a thrush pen to draw willow eyebrows, her lips were light, and she originally planned to put on the jewelry that she usually wears, but she was afraid that the Queen Mother would be suspicious, so she still handed a cloud sideburn flower Yan Bu Shake to Honeysuckle: "You and I know what kind of character Qiuyin is, if you put it in the palace next to you, the main ladies will not be used to her style, right now, we don't have much time to get along with her, whatever she wants." ”
"Yes." Honeysuckle took the step shake, found a suitable place for Shen Qingjiao's hairpin, turned his head and took a neat set of palace clothes on the bed, unfolded, it was Xixia brocade, much better than the silk used by the palace maids, but after all, it was not out of line, most of the Xixia brocade was rewarded by the nobles in the palace, and ordinary little palace maids could not touch it anyway, but there were one or two horses at the bottom of Shen Qingjiao's box.
Xixia brocade is close to the skin, and the queen mother chose a color that is not outstanding, Shen Qingyao's autumn eyes were cold, and she motioned for Honeysuckle to bring it to her and change it.
The blooming lilac color is the most inconspicuous color in this season, but when it falls on Shen Qingjiao, there is a hint of pretty for no reason, just because her makeup is too calm on weekdays, such a spring color makes Shen Qingjiao herself a little at a loss, but she immediately adapts to it, just like soon, she has to really adapt to life in the palace.
Shen Qingjiao stayed in the house all morning, she waited quietly, even if her heart was pounding, she kept sitting in front of the window and waiting, until someone opened the curtain and came in.
Qiu Yin pursed his lips and rubbed himself vigorously
