Chapter 19 Guess
It was evening when the old lady was sent off.In the autumn evening, the sky is pale and pale, and even the sun has become bleak.The wind is very strong at night, with a whirring sound
The moon rose early, and the huge disc hung between the palace wall and the house, but there was not much light, like a little white rouge on the forehead.

Some palace people climbed up the ladder and lit the lanterns with torches.

Ayu followed behind Yu Ci, seeing that she was silent, she said, "It's so cold."

Yu Ci nodded and asked, "How is Ping'er?"

"It's okay." Ayu waved his hand, "The water used to scald the wine is not that hot, it's just a slight burn. As long as she doesn't have a scar constitution, don't let the blisters get infected, she won't be able to see it in two days... Her skin is so white , and definitely not a scar constitution."

Yu Ci stretched out her hand to rub her hair, but she pressed it on her bun, and pinched it casually.

When she has something on her mind, she likes to rub other people's heads. Ayu is the one she ravages the most, so she naturally knew it, so she asked, "What's the matter, ma'am?"

Yu Ci said: "It's okay. By the way, Ah Lian's mother came today and talked a lot with Ah Zhu. Do you want to ask?"

Ayu didn't wait for her to say it a second time, and ran to her and Azhu's room.

Yu Ci looked at her back and smiled.I just think it's good to be so heartless.

Pinger and Sakura's room is not far from Azhu Ayu's.It's just that her face was covered with medicine, which was a kind of black paste. Unclean things could not be placed near the Concubine's bedroom, so she was arranged to recuperate in the back room.

The back compartment is adjacent to the warehouse, simple and messy, and facing the water and backlighting, it is a bit gloomy and cold in this season.

Yu Ci heard that she was moved there, and knew that the place was not suitable for recuperating, so she wanted to have someone clean out a brighter room in the next yard for her to live in temporarily.As a result, Ping'er came crying and kowtowed, begging Mizu not to drive her out of Kunning Palace.

She was only wearing a coat casually, the hairpins on her head were scattered, the bun was slanted, and half of her face was covered with purple-black paste. Her expression was slightly distorted by those desperate and struggling emotions, and she looked bleak and ghostly.

It was the first time for Yu Ci to see someone down to this point, and she was more shocked than pity or other feelings.

She was stunned for a long time before she came back to her senses, helped Ping'er up, and said to her: "I didn't want to drive you away. Your face is just a small injury. After a few days, the swelling subsides, and it will return to normal. I just I feel that the backyard is damp and not suitable for recuperation, so I asked you to move out. If you really don't want to... go back to your original room." Yu Ci wiped her tears and said, "Don't cry, be careful of infection Wound."

Ping'er kowtowed desperately, just saying that the empress is "greatly gracious and virtuous", and Yuci could hardly hold her back.Seeing her appearance, the maids who were serving at the side wiped away their tears quietly.

Xie Ci asked someone to help her back to the room, but she didn't know what to think of, so she rushed, "I won't go back... Your Majesty, I'll go to the backyard. Don't break the rules because of me... If your Majesty is merciful to me, someone will heat up the back room It is..."

Yu Ci looked at the tears that could hardly be found on the handkerchief, and felt indifferent in her heart—Azhu was not lying when she said that she had "gone badly".Ping'er was bullied by others, and now she is in such a state of desperation, what Miu Ci thinks at the moment is why she neither wants to move out of Kunning Palace, nor does she want to move back to her own room.

——Ping'er was not as desperate as she showed, her eyes were much calmer than in the morning.

Misfortunes and blessings depend on.Ping'er's injury looks miserable, but since it won't disfigure her face and leave scars, it's not a serious problem, instead it can save her from yesterday's limelight.She was actually glad in her heart.

She didn't want to move out of the Kunning Palace because she didn't want to lose the status she gained in the Kunning Palace today - as Yuci's personal maid, she could see Jianjun at any time.She didn't want to move back to her room - she was afraid that Jian Jun would see her in her ugliest appearance.

Everyone has their own calculations.Regardless of the Gao family, the eldest princess, the old lady or Ping'er.

Yu Ci suddenly felt that the so-called "non-interference" was actually very hypocritical.

The thought she once had of wanting to make the palace warm and harmonious was so naive—no one became kinder, but she became worse.

When Xiuyi Alin was hurt, she was scruples about seeing Jun, and never compensated and comforted her properly.On the contrary, when Ping'er squeezed out Ah Zhu, she gave her convenience and tolerance.Now that Gao Rong committed the crime face to face, she still can neither punish the murderer nor sympathize with the wounded.

These days, the only decision she really made was to send Azhu and Ayu out of the palace.

The sky is clear.It was night, the sky was so dark that it was bottomless, and the moon was shining with a cold light, which was unusually bright.

The evening drum of Xiangguo Temple sounded a bit late, and the fireworks had already bloomed in the sky one after another.

The curfew was lifted on the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the fire trees and silver flowers in the palace city were as bright as day, reflecting in the Jinshui River, which was extremely festive.Looking from the side of Qianqing Palace, one can vaguely see the bustling market outside the palace wall.

As usual, the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet in the palace was held in the Jingxiu Hall. After the Jingxiu Hall was closed, it was moved to the Qianqing Palace. It was still facing the water to enjoy the moon, and also put some river lanterns to pray for blessings.

Yuci went a bit late, and when Feng Nian arrived at Qianqing Palace, Jun had already taken his seat, and all his concubines were present.When Yu Ci got off the phoenix chariot, she saw that the guards of honor by the lake were in order, the colorful banners were flying, and the lanterns hung all the way like sparks, along the winding corridors, extending to the lotus pavilion in the center of the lake.

The colorful clothes in the pavilion are full of scrolls, the hairpin ring is light-moving, and Yingying and Yanyan reflect the bright moon in the center of the lake, as if in a fairyland in the sky.

Seeing Jun sitting in Linshui, he was slightly absent-minded, as if the pretty faces around him had nothing to do with him.

The banquet hadn't started yet, although Miu Ci came a bit late, she was not in a hurry.When she saw Jian Jun, she felt a little embarrassed, so she straightened her skirt.Unfortunately, no matter how complicated the hem of the skirt was, it was not enough for her to delay until the end of the banquet.

Jian Jun saw her in the lake, smiled and waved to her.Like a happy child.

Yu Ci's heart softened, and she raised her hand and waved at him.

The lotus pavilion is not big, just big enough for a table.But there is also a corridor connected to Fengming Pavilion on the south bank, where the seats for the next concubines are arranged.

The singers and luthiers of Yulefang who served the banquet played the drums in the two-colored ears of the corridor, and the sound of silk and bamboo was clear and melodious.

After Yuci walked to the lotus pavilion, the concubines who came to the banquet had seen her, and returned to their seats knowingly.

They have all dressed up today, each has its own beauty, fat and thin, dazzling.Only Xiuyi Alin was dressed in plain clothes, his eyes were indifferent, and he could not see the slightest intention to compete for beauty and favor.

But only when she stepped back, Jian Jun held her wrist and pulled her to sit beside him.

Before Yuci was seated, Xiuyi Alin sat down and stood up again, standing respectfully by the side.

Several concubines who had not yet returned to their seats looked back at Xiuyi Alin with envy and hatred in their eyes.Compassionate heart was aware, but kept silent.

Fengming Xuan couldn't hold a big banquet, so Miu Ci imitated the Mid-Autumn Festival in Shao's residence, hung colored lights around Fengming Xuan, lit incense, set up screens from the northwest side where the wind came from, and placed a big round table in the middle. Put moon cakes, drinks, melons and fruits.She intended to call the two concubines and the princess from the West Palace together, and the whole family would have a lively Mid-Autumn Festival.

Unexpectedly, the two imperial concubines were both caught in the cold, and the two little princesses said that the concubine mother was ill and did not dare to enjoy themselves alone, so they did not come.

There was a big empty table, sitting with her and Jian Jun, it could only highlight the embarrassment.But there is no room for eighteen people.Seeing that Jun himself chooses the concubine he likes to sit with him, it saves her from embarrassment.But Jian Jun only kept Xiuyi Alin... Although it was a favor, it didn't necessarily mean that it was a disaster for her.

Therefore, Yu Ci said: "Such a big table can seat three people less, please call whoever your Majesty likes."

Jian Jun said with a smile: "I called Yuan Lu, but he said he wanted to go back to the mansion to accompany the concubine, but he refused to come."

In the past two days, people around Yu Ci have been talking about Yuanlu all the time, and hearing him give him a headache.He didn't accept Jun's words, and said with a smile: "I'm talking about the one sitting in Fengmingxuan."

Jian Jun squinted his eyes, unable to see whether he was happy or what, he looked at Yu Ci and said, "I don't remember any of them."

Yu Ci was inexplicably flustered, her face became hot involuntarily: "It's okay, I remember..."

Seeing Jun holding her hand, with frowned eyebrows, he said helplessly, "Your kindness always disappoints me."

Yu Ci subconsciously withdrew her hand and glanced at Xiuyi Alin, feeling ashamed.

But Alin Xiuyi only looked at the musician playing in his ear in the corridor, as if he didn't see anything.

Xie Ci felt more and more guilty, and only said: "The three of you are too cold, you can't even play together.
Jian Jun smiled and closed her mouth with a grape, "After the Mid-Autumn Festival is the Double Ninth Festival. The chrysanthemums bloom on the Double Ninth Festival, the millet wine is thick, and the crabs are fat. It is the best season. I love flowers and eat crabs the most. I don’t know Would you like to accompany me?"

He changed the subject completely, and Yu Ci guessed that he wanted to tell her: just chat as usual, I don't want to play drumming to pass flowers.But his expression is completely different from the usual awkward boy... seems to be very calm, seems to be very comfortable, seems to be very... familiar and strange.

Yu Ci bit the grape in her mouth in a daze, Jian Jun scraped the corners of her mouth with his nails, his eyes reflected the lights, with some ambiguous and gentle colors... Leaning slightly in front of the portrait, he whispered, "You Ci also feed me One."

Yu Ci felt cold water dripping down her vertebrae, and she shivered.

——Jian Jun seems to be, imitating Yuanlu's appearance, flirting with her.

The problem is, isn't Yuanlu a big-eyed baby who is not as tall as her?

Yuci was terrified in her heart, and Azhu and Ayu watched her eyes almost protrude, and she couldn't help shouting in her heart: Zhengtai, you are very promising and powerful.

As a result, seeing Jun quickly backed away uncomfortably, he turned his head away a little annoyed, and said again: "You Ci also give me one."

This kind of natural and awkward command tone belongs to Jian Jun.Yu Ci unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, and the cold hair calmed down a little.She picked up an autumn purple, peeled it and brought it to Jian Jun's mouth.Jian Jun opened his mouth and bit her finger.

Although Yu Ci didn't know why he was angry again, she felt that this way of expressing anger was harmless and cute, so she didn't care about it.It's just that in front of Xiuyi Alin, these daily situations with Jian Jun also become awkward.

She withdrew her hand, took the wet handkerchief from the maid's hand, wiped it off, and continued peeling grapes for Jian Jun to eat.She has dexterous fingers and is very skilled in peeling grapes.Seeing that Jun couldn't eat as fast as she peeled, but he never refused anyone who came, he stuffed his mouth full in no time.The bulging appearance is quite pleasing.

Seeing Jun looking at her peeling grapes, her hands are white, slender, with pointed fingers, really soft like catkins, he smiled and said: "You Ci really..." He forgot the grapes in his mouth, and the juice came out as soon as he opened his mouth. flow out.Xie Ci smiled and wiped the veil for him. Seeing Jun, she felt more ashamed than making a fool of herself in front of others, so she lowered her head and refused to speak.

Knowing that children of this age cannot be teased, Yu Ci ordered someone to fetch a crystal cup, peeled grapes inside, inserted a spoon and pushed it in front of him, and said with a smile, "What did your majesty just say?"

Seeing Jun glanced at her, he broke open the mooncake angrily, handed half of it to Alin Xiuyi, and said, "I didn't say anything."

Seeing Jun pestering Xiuyi Alin to talk, Xiuyi Alin replied with a gentle smile without saying a word.

Yu Ci wanted to interrupt a few times, but seeing how the two Bao brothers and sister Lin looked like, she swallowed her words.

The girls of Fengmingxuan were used to being ignored by Jian Jun, but they were quite happy with themselves. At this time, they had already started singing wine orders, and their laughter was transmitted through the lotus leaves on the water surface, with a bit of clarity in the ethereal.

I don't know when, the musicians have stopped the harp, only a flute, a flute and a clear song are left in harmony.

The reflection of lanterns and moonlight is reflected on the water, and occasionally water birds pass by, breaking into pieces of silver light.

The fragrance of autumn osmanthus in the distance is transmitted with the breeze and water vapor.

Yu Ci didn't want to disturb their relationship, so she got up and sat by the pavilion, breaking some crumbs to feed the fish.

Miu Ci didn't listen, seeing Jun's enthusiasm for talking to Xiuyi Alin finally dissipated like fireworks.

He felt a little happy today.It had almost disappeared, but now seeing Yu Ci staring at the remnant lotus in the lake, looking thoughtful from afar, the anger surged even more.

So he said: "When I listen to this music, it seems that there is something missing. Does Aifei think it?"

Xiuyi Alin said: "The concubine can't hear it, please give me your advice."

Jian Jun looked at Yuci and said, "The sound of the flute is melodious, the sound of the flute is clear, and the singing is melodious... only the graceful dance is missing."

 Code words are so tiring, Piao Piao, I want to comfort you
