Chapter 052: Plan Ahead
"Sister is really lucky, she has to enter the Fengluan Hall to serve the new master, and she has been appreciated by Concubine Yun, Fangcao doesn't have this blessing. ”
Fangcao's envious gaze turned to Lixin, but she didn't know that the uneasy and fearful heart hidden under this luck was already uneasy.
Where does Concubine Yun appreciate her?
It must have been useful to get her place, so I admired the jade bracelet encrusted with rubies beforehand.
It's a rainy day.
Although I don't know what this Concubine Yun is planning for, it must not be a good thing.
Now only the soldiers will block, and the water will cover the earth, whether it is a blessing or a curse, and let's see.
Lixin's heart was heavy, and she spit out and said:
"Fangcao, I bother you to go back to Concubine Yun, saying that Lixin respects her life, Lao Niangniang lifts up, tonight, Lixin will go to Niangniang to be taught. ”
Seeing that Li's heart was happy, Fangcao smiled and was very happy, after going to Zhaohua Palace, it was considered to have done the first errand assigned by Concubine Yun.
"Sister, Fangcao is going back to Concubine Yun. ”
"Go ahead. ”
"Sister, go back quickly, your new master should be hungry too. ”
"Hmm. ”
Seeing the grass go away, Lixin's heart couldn't calm down for a long time, and her heart was heavy like a stone, and the stone seemed to be tied to the heart, pulling and falling into the bottomless abyss.
The sun has been hollow for a long time.
Li Xin hurriedly returned to Fengluan Palace, it was much later than usual, fortunately, the girl did not blame, Li Xin served the girl for dinner, and everything went on as usual.
The sun was setting little by little, and the shadows of the towering trees were getting longer and longer by the sunset, and the faint red light reflected by the sunset slowly disappeared into the gloom, and there was no trace.
It's evening.
The time for the appointment with Concubine Yun was about to come, and Lixin spent an afternoon in fear, afraid that this evening would come, but the time to come still came.
At this time, I persuaded the girl to rest early, and then I pulled out.
After dressing up slightly, Lixin hurried out with a lantern.
Only two minutes later, Li Xin came to the Zhaohua Palace, lightly knocked the door of the palace, but after three sounds, someone opened the door.
"Is it Miss Lixin?" was a woman who opened the door, and by the faint light of the lantern, she vaguely saw her fifteen or sixteen years old, with her head in a bun, and she seemed to have been waiting here for a long time when she heard this.
Lixin didn't have time to take a closer look, so she replied, "Exactly." ”
"Come in with me. ”
After speaking, the girl led Li Xin into the hall, the night at this time was already dark, Li Xin couldn't see everything in the Zhaohua Palace, so she had to follow the girl behind, turned a few corners, and passed a long corridor, the girl took herself to the eaves of a house, the girl pointed to the door next to her, and said, "Go in, Concubine Yun is waiting." ”
After saying that, the girl withdrew.
Lixin extinguished the candle in the lantern, put it down, closed her hands and rubbed it.
It was the early autumn season, but the sweat in her palms was cold, she exhaled nervously, sorted out her emotions, and opened the curtain in front of the door and walked in.
Looking around, in this room, there are a few candles placed on the wall around the wall, the candlelight is burning hot, the room illuminated by the glass cover on it is transparent and bright, there is a carved screen in front of it, the inside and outside are separated, the two rows of wooden chairs in front of the screen, each has a coffee table placed in Zhouzheng, and several green vegetation in the corner are just right, dyed a few traces of emerald green and fresh for the room, there is a cabinet next to the vegetation, layer by layer, and there are water corals, bucket color pottery pots, Sheep fat jade and other high-quality, it looks extraordinary, and there is a pair of carp playing in the water on the wall, and the painting is lifelike.
Lixin was looking around, and there was a lazy sound from behind the screen,
"But Lixin is here?"
Li Xin suddenly nervously bent down and returned the salute, "Yes, Niangniang." ”
After the words fell, I saw Aunt Lin holding Concubine Yun Niangniang out from behind the screen unhurriedly, and Concubine Yun, who had taken off her dress, was wearing a silk beddress decorated with willow leaves on a pale green background, and she looked much fresher after removing the hair ornament, but the veil had not been taken off.
Concubine Yun was holding a fat cat in her arms, looking at the fat cat with golden fluff, lazily sleeping in Concubine Yun's arms, Concubine Yun teased the soft fluff of the fat cat from time to time.
Concubine Yun has a hobby of raising cats, and all the people in the harem know about it, so it is not surprising to see this today.
Walking to the coffee table, Concubine Yun sat down slowly.
"It's really hard for you to come here with this black light, and the journey is smooth?"
Li Xin listened to Concubine Yun's words of concern, and raised her head slightly, "Xie Niangniang cares, smooth." ”
"If it's broad daylight, it's inconvenient for the palace to call you over, so as not to provoke tongues, and you must also be considerate of the palace. ”
"Niangniang, where are you talking about, the slave can't afford it. ”
Concubine Yun and Lin Niang saw that Li Xin had bowed and groveled from the moment she came in until now, so restrained, raised the corners of her eyebrows and smiled at each other, and then said,
"Okay, don't be nervous, I called you over today, I just want to talk to you about family life. ”
Hearing Concubine Yun's casual words, Lixin breathed a sigh of relief and calmed down a little.
"Lixin, your good sister Fangcao, now she has entered the Zhaohua Hall of the palace on an errand, or thanks to you. ”
Li Xin listened and said, "Niangniang, Fangcao can serve in front of Niangniang, naturally it is thanks to Niangniang's blessing, where does the slave come from? The slave spends all day long, just don't cause trouble for the master, in this palace, the slave is like a little fire in the thousands of lights, there is no big creation." ”
Hearing that Lixin was so nervous that what she said was useless, Concubine Yun and Lin Niang looked at each other and smiled.
Lin Niang continued,
"That day, I went to the Silk Wash Bureau to pick someone, this Fangcao said that I knew you and made friends, so I chose her, thinking, this Fengluan Hall and Zhaohua Hall are not far away, and in the future, you sisters, it will be much more convenient to move around often. ”
Li Xin listened to Aunt Lin's words, and in these words, she felt that she had received a great favor.
Not to mention whether this Fangcao mentioned that she was an acquaintance in front of Aunt Lin, just that Aunt Lin went to the Wanxi Bureau to pick people, and it was Fangcao who picked it, which is the starting point.
Although Lixin is not very smart, but she has not been in vain in the harem all these years, and she can more or less look out the thoughts of the masters, and now Concubine Yun wants to accept her favor again, and Lixin is not easy to push back against her will, so Lixin said,
"Niangniang and Aunt Lin love each other, and Lixin thanks Niangniang for Fangcao. ”
Seeing that Lixin realized the fun, Concubine Yun smiled very gently on her face, and said, "Lixin, in a few days, it will be the Yuejian Festival, the place of this banquet is selected in the Fengluan Palace, I think the king attaches great importance to this banquet, and in the past few days, it is indispensable to run errands and busy work, you have to work hard." ”
"Mother, this is all a matter of slaves. ”
