"Weiwei Zhou rescued the empress and was rewarded by the queen. Now he is probably in the Forbidden Army Camp."
It's good to get the reward. If it weren't for Zhou Yang himself, he would have sunk into the lake to meet the King of Hell. Maybe he came to remind her in the morning.
"The sixth prince also gave this to the empress."
Si Yu put down the porcelain bowl, stood up and picked up the plum blossom branches placed on the dressing table.
She took it and smiled slightly, playing with it left and right.
"The Sixth Prince said that the plum blossoms in the imperial garden were in bloom, so he took the opportunity to take his wife to see them in the future."
"Where's Daiju?" Chu Yunjing suddenly asked.
Si Yu suddenly became unhappy and complained: "You are still thinking about her. I feel sick when I think of her look like that. If it weren't for her, would my mother-in-law have suffered this fate today?"
"Oh, although her behavior is undesirable, in the final analysis, it is not because of her. No matter what, Mrs. Du wants to punish me. How can she, a slave, offend Mrs. Du and Princess Huai." Chu Yunjing advised.
"Hmph! Fortunately, she and we are in the same family. If she has any dissatisfaction, she can directly tell the empress. Why do she need those people to make the decision for her?"
Her eyes suddenly shrank and she asked suspiciously: "You mean, she colluded with Du and Princess Huai?"
"My guess is that when I was called to Fengyi Palace in the afternoon to ask why she didn't tell the truth, she might have said something about climbing a dragon and a phoenix in front of the Queen, and she would definitely ask the Queen to make her a concubine in our palace.
"
It turned out to be a guess without any basis, and she relieved her doubts.
"Alas! She is acting wisely to protect herself by not telling the truth. What your mother-in-law says is fair. When have you ever seen me make a fool of myself? Just listen to me. If Fengyi Palace comes to ask you,
You also said the same thing as them, do you understand?"
Si Yu pouted and nodded angrily, pouring some tea for her.
Two hours later, Chu Yunjing was still leaning on the couch, flipping through Qin Mian's "Taipu Chess Record" in his hand.
After choking on the water, her chest felt very uncomfortable and she couldn't breathe smoothly. She talked a lot to Si Yu at that time, and she could be heard coughing slightly or heavily in the hall.
At this time, someone came into the hall. She thought it was Si Yu but did not look at the person. She only saw the person kneeling heavily, which attracted her attention.
Five or six steps away from the bed, a tall girl with lowered eyebrows and eyes was kneeling.
She glanced briefly and said nonchalantly: "What are you doing?"
Daiju immediately kowtowed and said in a sincere voice: "I apologize to the empress!"
Chu Yunjing glanced lightly: "What crime are you guilty of?" He said in a swaying tone, and then studied the chess record in his hand.
"What happened today is all because of my slave. I deserve to die!"
This sentence was heartbreaking, and Chu Yunjing was a little puzzled. Daiju was not someone who would take the blame on herself.
"I don't blame you. I can understand why you did what you did."
"Please help me!" Her voice was mixed with tears.
"help you with what?"
Daiju's body lying on the ground was floating up and down, sobbing softly: "The Queen said today that she will release the slaves from the palace next month if she finds an opportunity."
Chu Yunjing still looked unconcerned and said calmly: "My mother is considerate of you. If you can, I will let you go as early as possible. I will fill in a dowry for you."
At this time, Daiju suddenly raised her head, her tears were like bursting from a dam, and the pear blossoms were raining: "No, please keep me here, I don't want to leave the palace."
She followed the sound, couldn't help but frown, closed the chess book, and asked pretending to be confused: "You don't want to leave the palace? What do you want to do?"
"Slave...Slave...In fact, I have long been pleased with Your Highness...Please do it for me!" The person in front of me was bursting into tears. She was pleading sincerely, but her tone was mixed with shyness.
Finally, he said it. Chu Yunjing could tell when they met for the first time. Jiuhua Palace had not been inhabited for many years. Even if there was no dust in any corner, the ordinary servants who swept the house would naturally not be able to be so meticulous. He also heard that Jiuhua Palace
Others in the palace said that Daiju personally cleaned the house, and who else could be so meticulous except her.
No matter the arrangement on the desk, or even every place in the palace, big and small, except for the bedding, which has been changed, everything else is probably the same as it was when Qin Mian was there, and Daiju personally guarded it.
Such an infatuated person deserves to be fulfilled.
There was silence for a moment: "Well, I know what you want.
Daiju said anxiously: "Can the empress help me?"
Hearing this, she felt a little unhappy and said in a deep voice, "What? If I don't help you, are you going to find outsiders to help you?"
Maybe Daiju teamed up with outsiders to frame her, saw that the frame-up failed and was abandoned, and shamelessly came back to beg her.
She was not sure whether Daiju had joined forces with Ning Ruoshui and the others. If Daiju was a person who would do anything to achieve his goals, she would not let him go.
"No... I definitely didn't collude with anyone outside Jiuhua Palace. I didn't know about what happened today. I dare to swear to the soul of my deceased mother. I just want to please Your Highness and hope that the empress will be fulfilled." Daiju was oppressed.
He explained hurriedly, not caring about the shape of the tears streaking down his cheeks.
Seeing Dai Ju's miserable look, she thought for a while and chose to believe that she pitied Dai Ju. After waiting alone for so many years, even if Dai Ju didn't specify whether she had slept with him, Qin Mian was a young man with a strong temper at the time. She
I don't really believe that there is nothing going on between the two of them. Even if they are of low status and are favored, they should be given a status.
But now I am considering whether to carry you directly into the house or wait for Qin Mian to come back. He advised: "I know that you have a special status and have also considered this matter. Don't worry, I will keep you. As for when
I have my own plans for giving you a title."
Daiju got the letter and immediately kowtowed and went out.
She put her right hand on the written page of "Taipu Chess Record", thinking of today's bad things, her eyes were sad.
Ning Ruoshui was framed and put at the disadvantage many times, so she couldn't help but think of some damaging moves. Zhou Yang said that she couldn't move Ning Ruoshui. The Ning family was so powerful that it couldn't be easily shaken. Even the crazy Concubine Du Shu wanted to save the Du family's face.
He has never been sentenced to death, let alone the Ning family who has been worshiped as a first-class official.
When will he be killed by Ning Ruoshui?
She was exhausted physically and mentally, and the constant coughing made her upset. No matter how much medicine she poured down, it had no effect. The real cough was so painful that she couldn't sleep well at night.
Ten days later, she was in good health and was nourished by precious medicinal materials, which forced her to get well. Ning Ruoshui had been busy with the banquet these days, which fulfilled the vicious woman's wishes. Sunset Shui treated Ning Ruoshui that day
It wasn't much of an obstacle, so I was energetic enough to re-select the program the next day.
This banquet can be said to be the credit of Ning Ruoshui alone. Her previous arrangements were all redone by Ning Ruoshui. After this experience, she didn't want to fight for them.
It was a clear day and the sun was rising. She sat under the window, her face rosy and her energy and blood had long been nourished. She peeked at the winter scenery outside through the small crack in the window. Several plum blossoms brought by the Sixth Prince were inserted in the window.
The plum blossoms were already withered in the vase. She had not left the house for ten days and was eager to see the plum blossoms in person.
So she dressed up and went to the imperial garden to admire the plum blossoms. All the flowers in the palace bloomed better than those in the palace, and the imperial gardener took care of them very carefully.
The twenty-third of the twelfth lunar month is the New Year, and everything in the palace is full of joy. Couplets of palace maids and eunuchs are posted on the windows, and the Shangshi Bureau is probably busy early.
Walking on the gravel road, the flower fields were planted with plum trees in various colors. She remembered that she and Sister Wei were cutting window grilles in the boudoir last year, and what she cut was a plum tree...
Memories came to my mind, and I stared at the red plum blossoms in full bloom in front of me with a sad look on my face. I touched it and my fingers were stained with the dew of the plum blossoms. They were pure and crystal clear without any trace of chaos.
She hadn't gone out for many days and was used to being in a warm house. A slight breeze made her shrink into her fox fur, and a childish voice came from behind her.
"Fifth sister-in-law?"
She turned around and saw the soft and gentle smile of the Sixth Prince, just like the warm sun in the middle of winter, driving away the chill she felt at the moment.
The ten-year-old child had grown to her chest. She gently pressed her body down and put her right hand on the sixth prince's shoulder.
"Ziyu, why are you here? Are you cold?"
The sixth prince's coat is a vermilion fur coat with narrow sleeves and a double-breasted collar. The color of the clothes matches the plum scenery very well. Judging from his panting appearance, he may have run over.
"I got off school early today. I heard that my sister-in-law came to the Royal Garden to enjoy the plum blossoms. I must come. A few days ago, when you fell asleep, I said that I would enjoy the plum blossoms with you. I will never break my promise." Although he brought me with him.
He was out of breath, but his words were very steady and he spoke every word.
"Okay, what poems did you think of when you saw this plum scene?"
She was very happy, at least she was satisfied with being treated kindly by their mother and son and the queen despite the bullying from Concubine Du Shu and Ning Ruoshui.
The Sixth Prince was a little troubled because she insisted on mentioning her poems during this moment of admiring the scenery, as if her husband was doing a spot check.
The two of them stayed in the Imperial Garden for half an hour, and before leaving, they folded a few more plum blossoms. The Sixth Prince also promised to go to Jiuhua Palace to deliver some fresh plum blossoms every five days, so that she could see fresh plum blossoms even if she was busy.
I'm afraid that even Concubine Zhang would not be able to achieve this kind of treatment. Fortunately, Concubine Zhang is kind. As expected, her mother is a reasonable and virtuous woman, and her son is not far behind.
After taking a nap, the Sixth Palace Bureau sent over all the preparations for the final banquet. There were three copies of each of these. She, Ning Ruoshui and the queen each had a set. The queen gave the final nod. If anything was unreasonable, the queen would
Circle it and then change it, and finally you can go to the banquet with no mistakes.
She looked through it carefully, and when she got the brochure from Shangshi Bureau, she only glanced at it briefly and saw the problem with the food. The drinks included wine, royal banquet wine, rice wine, pear wine... and the dishes.
The first dish was crab, and there were golden persimmons among the pastries, so there was a problem.
It is reasonable to prepare two kinds of fruit wine among the many. Wine is a tribute from foreign tribes. It can be used for state banquets to show my open mind. Perry wine is also reserved in summer. As for golden persimmons, they are made from persimmons.
The golden round cake is then sprinkled with sesame seeds, which looks like a gold coin, symbolizing wealth.
