Six palaces without concubines in the Red Chamber

0145 Empress Hui asks Shangguan in detail, cowardly girl goodbye Yan Yongan

If you really have to tell the emperor honestly about drying the skin, you will definitely not be able to explain it for a while.Daiyu remembers hanging the water dish in front of the verandah of Xinghua Village, so she couldn't sit still, so she just said: "I'll talk to you in detail when I have dinner, I don't have time right now."

As she spoke, she led the palace servants away in a hurry.

The emperor was unexpectedly thrown into the warm pavilion by her, and he was completely stunned.Zhou Laiyun's calves trembled when he watched from the sidelines. He was also a person who served his master, and he used to work as a servant in the Queen's Palace of the Deposed Emperor.I have to say, compared to the current empress, the deposed empress had a very miserable life.From ancient times to the present, how many empresses dare to treat the emperor like this?

"you say……"

The emperor's voice was slow, with a dull suppression.Zhou Laiyun panicked for no reason, and hurriedly replied, "Yes, Your Majesty."

He reacted too quickly, but that's not good either.If you are too careful, it will appear deliberate.The emperor couldn't help but frowned, stopped all the remaining words, and said instead: "Forget it, let Xi Shiyue come in."

If it weren't for being in front of the emperor, Zhou Laiyun would have been furious.What's so good about that old oily man, he's been mean and mean to people all day long.But I don't know what ecstasy soup was poured into the emperor, so that he was the only one to serve.

Zhou Laiyun didn't show it on his face, but when he agreed, his tone seemed aggrieved: "Yes, the servant will call now."

The emperor was still in a trance when Xi Shiyue entered.He has always been a spittle and a nail, but whenever he makes a decision, he will rarely regret it.But at this moment, he was thinking, is this decision wrong?Zhou Laiyun is cautious in doing things and being careful everywhere. This is his advantage, and this is the kind of person who should be a nail.So in the past, his errands were done very well, without any mistakes.But once it was put in Yuqian, why was something wrong?

He also thought about sending Zhou Laiyun back to the original place, and re-electing someone to be the deputy manager.But people are unpredictable, and sometimes it is better to go than to come.In addition, he also wanted to use this person to let Daiyu practice her hands and let her learn how to control her.She even asked her to control the people in front of the imperial court, so he didn't have to worry about it anymore.From this point of view, it is better to keep Zhou Laiyun for now.

The emperor figured it out, rubbed the center of his brows, saw Xi Shiyue standing beside him, and then remembered what happened just now: "Have you heard of... drying your skin?"

Dry skin?What did the emperor ask this for?

Xi Shiyue was really taken aback, but quickly realized that it was Daiyu who mentioned it before the emperor in all likelihood, which made him ask.

He hurriedly replied: "Back to the emperor, all the eunuchs in the whole palace know about sun drying. Speaking of which, the slaves also helped to do this." He smiled, and this topic made him Thinking back to the time when he was helping the big palace maid when he was young, that smile was mixed with a three-pointed naivety. "This is a very important thing on Qixi Festival. It must be exposed to the sun from the sixth day of July until noon on the seventh day, at least ten hours. No oil or dust can be seen. It must be placed under the sun. If the water skin is not well tanned, it will not be able to hold the needle. The girl who got this bowl of water will throw the needle with the little sister at night, and it will be humiliating. gone."

Whether the moon can pass through the pinhole is one thing, but it's another thing that the water skin can't support the needle.This shows that you don't even have the heart to do the preparations well, so what's the trick?

"What's the saying about looking at the water dish, you have to look at it yourself?"

Xi Shiyue said: "Girls and noble ladies mostly watch by themselves, and pay attention to piety. As for the female officials and grand ladies in the palace, most of them are handed over to the little eunuchs below. To tell the truth, the slaves used to dry their skins in the past. Take care of yourself." When he mentioned the past, he smiled a little embarrassedly. "The maids have to serve the master, so they can't keep an eye on them all the time. This is the time for the little eunuch to curry favor with the ladies and sisters."

Most of the little eunuchs would find one or two big palace maids to take the initiative to respect them. If they had something they couldn't do by themselves, they would ask the little eunuchs to do it.This is because the court ladies in Daqing are all good girls with names and surnames, and their status is far higher than that of eunuchs.As far as the eunuch is concerned, making friends with them is equivalent to an extra layer of dependence and protection.

This is something that the masters of the inner court have tacitly understood. As long as no excessive incidents are caused, most of them will turn a blind eye and close their eyes, and will not interfere.

The emperor raised the corners of his lips with great interest, looked at Xi Shiyue and said, "Remember what happened in the past? You are also a manager now. If you want to have someone who knows how to live with you after you are on duty, I can promise you one." Grace. If the other party is willing, I will allow you to choose a vegetable household[1]."

Xi Shiyue didn't have this intention, but he couldn't help being very excited when he got this kindness suddenly, he knelt down on the ground and kowtowed to thank him again and again.

Because the last generation of the Great Ming Dynasty was destroyed by the eunuchs and court ladies, the Daqing Dynasty strictly prohibited eunuchs and court ladies from becoming vegetable households from the beginning.Although it still exists in private, it is absolutely not allowed on the surface.Whether Xi Shiyue wants Caihu or not, it is a real honor to let the emperor open his mouth to appreciate the grace.

The emperor found the person he likes by himself. Seeing that Xi Shiyue served Daiyu thoughtfully on weekdays, he was very merciful.Seeing him so excited, he couldn't help laughing and said, "Look at your promise!"

"The emperor's kindness is so grateful..."

"Come on, I'll show your loyalty later. Go prepare the water dish..." the emperor said while undoing the brass button on the horseshoe sleeve: "I want to try it, how hard this water skin is. "

There is a row of benches in the Tongle Courtyard, just under the eaves of the corridor, with large and small water bowls on it, which is very spectacular at first glance.

County Lord Qingshun never begged for coincidences when she was at home, she was very proud, and she was unwilling to play with her sisters since she was a child.She once said: "I am the honor of the county lord, what's the use of needlework girls, are there so many embroidery girls not enough?"

She never expected that now that she was in the inner court, she would have to learn how to dry skin and thread needles.Just because Zheju came back that day and said a word.

Zheju said: "I heard that the emperor will lead the empress to worship on the seventh day of July, so we will do it in the Xinghuachun hall. The county master practiced well, and he will be a blockbuster at the needle competition, and worry that the emperor will not pay attention to the county master? Who doesn't like a clever girl?"

After some words, the county magistrate Qingshun became agitated, and followed the tide of drying the skin.

But among this group of people, Nangong Deyin was an exception.Compared with Princess Qingshun, sometimes she makes people feel that her eyes are on the top of her head, and she doesn't have to look straight at people.She just ignored these things leisurely, she didn't even dry her skin, and piety had nothing to do with her.

All she cared about was being able to see the emperor on Qixi Festival, and that was enough.She was quite disdainful of the behavior of those noble girls in full swing.He even threatened that this is something that a self-deprecating person would do.

"I heard Miss Nangong once said that only those who don't have bargaining chips will bend down, and those who are truly confident don't need to waste extra effort."

Every word and deed of the Tongle Academy was observed secretly, and then sorted out the important ones, and summarized them in Zhiqi's ears.After discovering Zhiqi's ability, Daiyu entrusted all such matters to her.

When Zhiqi replied, Daiyu was standing on the porch playing with the parrot, adding water to the porcelain pot with a small bamboo tube.

"It's really interesting." Daiyu stroked the parrot's shiny feathers, and said with a light smile, "I'm really curious about what the Nangong family's chips are."

Nangong Deyin's real hole card must not be beauty, otherwise she would not be so rampant.

Just when Zhiqi was about to speak, Daiyu saw Xichun being brought in by an eunuch from a distance, and hurriedly raised her hand and said, "Stop talking. Go and see what happened."

Zhiqi accepted the words and got up to meet her.I don't know what she said to the eunuch, but after a few words, the eunuch turned around and left with a very arrogant posture.Although Daiyu didn't see his appearance clearly, she vaguely guessed who he was, and became more and more curious in her heart, how could Xichun meet him.

For a while, Zhiqi led Xichun to come, after all, today is different, Xichun also felt a little uneasy when seeing Daiyu: "Please be safe, Queen."

"There is no outsider, there is no need to be formal between us sisters." After speaking, she told Ji Xue: "Go and invite the third girl over, we haven't sat and talked for quite a while."

Although she left them to live in Xinghua Village together, to put it bluntly under the same roof, they mostly avoided her and never bothered them without authorization.Although the rules were followed, there was no interest in the past.

Daiyu suppressed the vague sense of loss, smiled and invited Xichun to tease the parrot together, and asked casually: "Where did you go?"

Xichun was stroking the parrot's head, but when she heard the words, she immediately withdrew her hand, as if she had done something wrong, and said timidly: "I saw that the sun is good today, so I went to the back lake for a walk. Later, I met Manager Yan, and I came back gone."

As expected, that person was indeed Yan Yongan.Yan Yong'an is the only one who dares to be so indiscriminate in the whole garden.At first, Daiyu didn't understand why the emperor, who respected rules, allowed Yan Yongan to act recklessly.That day in Wanfang Anhe, the emperor broke his heart and soul with her.Although he didn't mention that person's name, but seriously, Yan Yong'an is the only one who can match him.

Seriously speaking, the emperor is actually a very caring person.Presumably, it was because he had to use him that day that he had to survive as a eunuch, so the emperor felt extra shame towards him.That's why he was allowed to act recklessly, which made him develop such a personality.

For some reason, Daiyu always felt that what Xichun said was incomplete and untrue, as if she was hiding something.But Xichun was timid and young, and she was afraid of frightening her if she said something serious.Daiyu had no choice but to say to her cryptically: "Boss Yan behaved perversely, so avoid him when you see him in the future. It's not for any other reason, I'm afraid he will hurt you with his inappropriate words."

Xichun was extremely annoyed, and she didn't know why she had to hide it from Daiyu.In fact, she didn't want to have too much involvement with Yan Yongan, that person was weird, eccentric and wanton, it was really hard to get along with him.She didn't believe it was because she was a eunuch.There are so many eunuchs in the inner court, and she has seen Xi Shiyue before the emperor, and none of them can be as arrogant as Yan Yongan.Standing and talking with him, Xichun felt scared.

So as soon as Daiyu said it, she immediately nodded and agreed: "I remember, I just happened to meet today." He insisted on sending her back, but she couldn't shirk it, thinking of coming back sooner and getting out earlier, so she could only agree.

Not long after, Tanchun also came, and Daiyu took her to sit under the veranda, and then she brought up the matter in a serious manner.

"I have something, I want to ask your thoughts."

Tanchun is closer to Daiyu than Xichun, even though she is already a queen, she doesn't appear timid when facing her.Still the same as before, talking and joking with Daiyu with a smile.

"Excuse me, ma'am, we will know everything."

This attitude is more comfortable than Xichun's prudence, and Daiyu felt more at ease, and said with a smile: "It's not a big deal. Speaking of which, you girls all entered the garden together. I don't know what you said to the third girl from the Shangguan family Have you spoken?"

"Miss Shangguan?" Tan Chun chewed on the name, Fang said: "I said a few words, not much. I saw that she was a gentle and quiet girl. I don't know what your mother asked her for?"

Winton is silent?If she really had a compelling reason to go to Wanfang Anhe two days ago, and she is really a good girl as Tanchun said, then the emperor's idea is not impossible.

Daiyu hesitated for a moment, and finally said to Tanchun: "The emperor intends to marry Shangguan and Jia. I don't know how Miss Shangguan is, so I ask this question. Now I will tell you quietly, if you don't let go, take advantage of this Get closer to her in two days, so I can ask her a little bit. Although I can ask in detail, it is not as intuitive as you when you get close."

Tanchun was surprised: "I don't know if you want the son of our family to marry you?"

"The second master raised by your wife." Daiyu paused, remembering that she had almost discussed marriage with him before, and she was a little stagnant when she talked about it: "This matter has not yet been settled, so it must not be publicized."

"Don't worry, empress, we all understand." It is said that Baoyu will reach the crown[2] in the year of Baoyu, and it is time to get engaged.That girl was born in Nanyang Shangguan family, a first-class family, if this can be achieved, the whole family will be crazy about joy.

It's just that Tanchun is worried about Baoyu.He has always suffered from dementia, and when he found out that Daiyu had been made a queen, his whole body was not well, and he was very ill.As soon as this incident happened, even Xiren and Ai Guan were sent out.Baoyu couldn't take care of it anymore, and when he recovered from his illness, he didn't cry out to see Daiyu. He seemed to be a different person, and read the Four Books and Five Classics that he had always hated.

Everyone said that he had figured it out and knew he was making progress.But Tanchun knew that he hadn't figured it out yet, and thought that everyone was lying to him to provoke him.For Daiyu, he gave up all his previous persistence.But he didn't know that even if he passed No. 1 in the imperial examination, he would never be able to keep her again.

Before entering the garden, Mother Jia had explained all these things, telling them that they must rot in their stomachs, and no one outside was allowed to know.Tanchun also knew Jiamu's intentions very well, so she gritted her teeth tightly and didn't reveal a word.

It is said that Zhinu has accumulated tears for a year, and she is waiting to see Niulang on the day of Qixi Festival, so she will show it to him, so there is a lot of rain on Qixi Festival, and it is easy to rain.However, this year is very rewarding, it is a good weather with a bright moon hanging high.

The Empress Dowager was in high spirits, and during dinner, she called two musicians from the Shengping Department to join in the zither and flute, and played a song "Guanshan Linqueyue" [3].

The emperor and Daiyu had dinner with the empress dowager, and ordered people to set up a case in the Xinghuachun Pavilion to hold a ceremony.There are incense burners, candles, etc. on the case, as well as seven fresh vegetables, seven seasonal melons and fruits, seven meaty meats, and seven delicate fruits, and that's it.

The Empress Dowager stood in the distance and looked over, and saw the two silhouetted in pairs, holding incense and worshiping, which meant that the husband and wife sang together and had a happy reunion.On such a good day, she couldn't help but think of the late emperor.

Yin turned sideways and said to Tong Yi: "What a wonderful couple. I really don't understand why the Queen Mother can't see such two good children."
