Chapter 21: Yu Xi Has Arrived (I)


The sun was blazing, and the bluestone slabs were scorching, faintly emitting a fragrance of earth.Delicate little feet gently stepped up the stone steps, as if they were afraid of breaking something.The maids on the left and right followed closely step by step, holding delicate paper umbrellas high, and tried their best to shield their masters from every ray of dazzling sunlight.There was a slight sweat on their noses, but their faces were steady, standard, or happy smiles.Among them, some of them are older, they have been in the palace for many years, they have seen more and know a lot, they are very measured about what to do, what to ask, and what to know, and they will be out of the palace in another year and a half.They call for reassurance, but they don't push their hearts.Among them, some of them are younger, they know what kind of place they are in, and they know that they should restrain the playful nature of the girl's family, but Shaoguang is unbearable, and always inadvertently shows the playfulness and liveliness of the daughter's family in her gestures.They are accompanied by intimacy, but it is difficult to know their hearts.Among them, some of them entered the palace for the first time, only to find that there were many differences between the palace and the palace, the buildings were more, the territory was more extensive, the repairs were more luxurious, and the hierarchy was more strict.Looking around, looking around, as if you can't get enough of it.They talk and laugh happily, but they don't feel very easy.Among them, some of them stepped into the clouds and climbed the clouds, unwilling to be a palace maid who boiled the green silk and the vicissitudes of life, and stepped out of the palace to accept a new round of fate arrangements.Flying on the branches to be a phoenix is not an unattainable luxury, and the master in front of him is the best proof of this.They pay attention to their daily lives, but they don't have to pay much attention.She looked quietly, made up her mind a little, held the maid's arm, gritted her teeth and stepped on the last step, and entered the palace.This is the main hall of Yichen Palace, whether it is big or small, it may be just like the grade he gave, it can't turn up any wind and waves, but it makes the subordinates negligent.She smiled, and slowly sat down on the main seat with the support of the maid, and the cold flower tea had been delivered to her hand.She lifted the lid of the tea bowl and gently scraped it, sipping the tea as if time stood still at her fingertips.There were two conspicuous scars on her right cheek, pink and tender, long and narrow, but not terrible, but pitiful.If she has a heart, she can apply powder, so that these two scars will fade a lot.In this way, although it is not possible to reproduce the original elegance, it can also make the face much more delicate.But somehow, she made up elegantly and undisguised, allowing these two scars to loom on her cheeks.She sat quietly like that, tasting slowly, without saying a word, even the oldest palace maid in charge couldn't help but feel the bottom of her heart, and she couldn't figure out the character of this new master.I don't know how long she was silent like this, but at the end, she put down the teacup and ordered softly: "Xichun, help me back to the room." ”"Yes," Hee-chun agreed, stepping forward.She stood up slowly, her eyes swept down coldly, and she gently walked towards the apse step by step.It wasn't until her figure disappeared behind the screen, and the palace maids standing in all corners of the hall breathed a sigh of relief as if they had been amnesty, it turned out that Huo Xiuyi was a master who didn't care about things, but in the end, how was it a little strange: "I heard about it as soon as I came back, your heart is too big, it's making waves under your nose, you're good, it's like no one, well, this is very delicious, what's it called?"

Come, try this again, if I don't relax my heart, how can I have time to delve into these little pastries to entertain you" "Oh, it's delicious" The woman was busy eating and praising it."

And this one, it seems that you have a good appetite.In the past, I always heard that my appetite would be much worse after I became pregnant.I don't see it at all in you. ”"I don't feel anything, I should eat, I should sleep, it's no different.This, this one tastes the best, you can eat it too" "Okay.Well, so I said you are blessed" "However, although it is said that other people's hands are short and their mouths are soft, there are some things I still have to say" The woman stuffed the last bit of muffin cake into her mouth, patted the foam on her hand, and looked solemnly from side to side, "Sister Yannu, let them go down first." ”"Alas, pastries can't buy you" He Jingying could only admit it, and with a slight look, Jiao Henglan immediately understood, and led the palace maids to retreat in an orderly manner."

What's the matter, what are you going to say?"

the woman asked knowingly."

Sister, you really silently acquiesced to the emperor's concubine" "If you don't admit it, how can you get a fait accompli and accept it well, isn't it" "No, I mean, you didn't make a fuss, just didn't say a word, and accepted it calmly" "Xin'er," she couldn't cry or laugh, "Some things are useful to make trouble, but some things can't be changed."

We are not children anymore, why bother making such a fuss, making them upset" "Sure enough" Wang Xin shook his head helplessly and said, "Sister, you are so smart, but you can't get around the bend in this kind of thing alone, yes, jealous women are annoying, but for husbands to take concubines, you are so calm, you are virtuous and generous when you say it is good, and if you say it is unpleasant, you don't care, you don't make trouble, as soon as you come, it seems that you don't care, don't object, what will the emperor think about the two, there must be two, you don't show your attitude, don't take long, This harem is a hundred gardens" As if something was stuck in the softest place in her heart, He Jingying calmed down, aimlessly reached out to get a few refreshments, and said with a dry smile, "It's okay to have a hundred gardens, the emperor governs the world, and I am in charge of the harem."

If I am the only one in this harem, and I have no real power, wouldn't I be lonely" "Look at it, it's a hard mouth, if you put these words in front of the emperor and say it, if he doesn't get angry, I blame you and want him to thank you for being tolerant and virtuous" Although it was a joke, when the refreshments were brought to his mouth, he found that his hands were trembling badly.She put down the refreshments and hooked her lips as if laughing at herself, "Xin'er, I didn't expect you to look so informal, and your mind is so delicate." ”"It's not a question of whether my mind is delicate or not, although my mind is originally very delicate, I think that if you are unhappy, you have to say it, teach him to know your mind, why bother whether it is meaningful, whether it is worth it, or how much you have gained and how much you have lost" "I don't want to act as recklessly as you do" "It's just that you are the queen's mother, commanding the six palaces and the mother of the world, so you can't make trouble, you shouldn't make trouble" Wang Xin said with a straight face, "Sister, your temperament has always been like this, rational and steady, take charge of things alone, knock out your teeth and swallow it in your stomach."

This tenacity of yours is not like the strength of those who practice martial arts, but comes from the bones.This kind of temper, there are good and bad, I always feel that you have wronged yourself too much" "Maybe you are right" she smiled, "It's time to change." ”"Today, the second uncle asked someone to hand over the fold, on the grounds of old age and illness, to formally resign" Xiao Zhaoye leaned on the light couch, sighed, squinted slightly, and held his forehead with his hand, "Tomorrow morning, the news will inevitably spread, and it will be really eventful at that time" He Jingying gently pushed away his hand holding his forehead, and his warm and soft fingers slowly rubbed his temples: "Your Majesty thinks that King Jingling did it intentionally, and he was shocked with one stone" He suddenly opened his eyes, stood up, and looked left and right."

What is Your Majesty looking for" "There are other people in this room" "What" He Jingying was shocked, grabbed his arm, and trembled in her voice, "Where is it" "I thought you knew" Xiao Zhaoye raised his eyebrows and looked at her in surprise."

I don't know" her head shook like a rattle, her little face was as white as paper, and she finally couldn't stop screaming, "There are assassins coming soon" "Don't shout" On the wide and thick palm, a pair of big watery eyes sparkled against the candlelight, and her long eyelashes fluttered.The corner of his eye was crooked, and a smile appeared."

You lied to me" She pushed his hand away angrily, stood up, and looked at him condescendingly, "This kind of joke is not funny at all" "cough cough" He straightened the front of his clothes, sat up straight, and looked sly, "Why don't you call me Your Majesty" "I" "Why don't you call yourself a concubine" He Jingying's words choked in her throat and couldn't speak."

Didn't you say that when it's only the two of us, those honorific titles and false etiquette are all exempted, and you call me Your Majesty, so I thought there were others in this room."

He was right."

I'm used to it."

She said, "It's easy to make mistakes if you change it back and forth." ”"Then why is it that when you are afraid, your true form is revealed," he stretched out his hand and pulled her into his arms, "I have this one wish, even if it is for me to listen to it, no matter how troublesome it is, you have to work hard to change it."

This time, listen to me" His breath was in his ears, tickling on the roots of his ears, her face was crimson, and she responded softly: "Okay" "Hmm" Xiao Zhaoye nodded with satisfaction, and leaned a little closer, "Where did we just go" "Say" Her mind was already blank under these fright."

Oh, I remember, when it comes to the second uncle's resignation."

He said lightly, "I have already repaired a book, well, or rather, I have issued a holy decree to invite the fifth grandfather from Shouyang Mountain." ”"You are light, and at this juncture, you will use the emperor's order to suppress the old man.I remember you promised him that you wouldn't disturb his idle days again," she bowed her head, and although it was a joke, she had no confidence."

No, no, no, I'm asking him to put on a show of seniority and show his majesty, and it's not a chore to do anything in a town.Besides, the lotus of the Song family in the five altars of the Jiangnan Song family, how can the five grandfathers not be tempted":
