Qingchuan History

Chapter 63 Don't envy the white jade cup

In contrast, the early autumn in the southern country is milder, especially in the daytime, it always makes people feel that it is still summer.

Ruan Xueyin rested her chin and stared at the letter in front of her——

It was the one brought back by Fenyuliu Jinniao in mid-July, together with those silk silks.

She was only looking at the silk at that time, and she glanced at the contents of the letter and was not satisfied, so she didn't read it carefully.Something happened to Gu Xinglang on the second day, and from that day to today, it seems that every day has been extremely busy.

God knows how much time she spent in the Lantern Palace, fortunately, she didn't get nothing——

At least she got the promise to enter the Jizhao Pavilion.

She was free today, and she was finally able to unfold that piece of paper and read it carefully.In fact, it was only a few words, but she was not reconciled, as if she could see new clues after reading it a few times.

In the future, on the west side of the canyon, there are neat horseshoe prints.

In the near future, the battle in the valley should have ended, Gu Xinglei died, along with two thousand soldiers.

These horseshoe prints naturally came from the light cavalry who attacked them.

At that time, the rest of the Qi army was stationed in the east of Fengting Pass, and Gu Xinglei entered the valley from the west side, and took the shortcut of the canyon to the base camp to meet up.

This mysterious light cavalry retreated from the west, naturally to avoid encountering the Qi army.

where is wrong?
Just like at that time, I obviously felt that something was wrong, but looking at the facts one by one, it was very reasonable.

However, someone as rigorous as Jing Tingge didn't write down the approximate number of horseshoe prints, so it was difficult to judge how many people there were.

Ruan Xueyin thought to herself.

Presumably she tacitly knew that it was the light cavalry, so there was no need to write the number.Because in the testimonies of so-called eyewitnesses from nearby villages that have been left behind, there are about 800 people in that team.

Shen Ji also brought 800 light cavalry to Fengting Pass.That's why Gu Xinglang's suspicion was exaggerated to this point.

But even so, from the perspective of case investigation, the quantity should be stated.Just to verify the authenticity of those eyewitness testimony.

What's wrong.I really can't think of it.She frowned.

Yunxi brought a tray to the door of the bedroom. According to Ruan Xueyin's rules, she could not come in directly, and always called "madam" at the door.

Ruan Xueyin raised her head upon hearing the sound, "Come in."

She put away the paper, saw Yunxi approached and put down the tray, opened the lid of the cup, and there was hot red ginseng soup in the white porcelain cup.

"Why are you stewing red ginseng? Drinking red ginseng this season can—"

Yunxi was working in the imperial court before, and she already had some research on the principles of diet. After following her for a long time, she became more diligent. Before she finished speaking, she said:
"I know Madam is going to say it's too hot, and it's easy to get angry. But I see that Madam has been busy recently, and the time she comes back from the Turning Lan Palace every night is getting later and later, so I still have to make up for it. I'm counting the time for this red ginseng soup. Three Drink it once every five days, and add some American ginseng, bird's nest, and snow fungus in the middle of the day, so you won't get angry."

Ruan Xueyin shook her head and smiled, "You are getting better now."

Yunxi also pursed her lips and smiled, took out a small bowl and put it in front of her, "I was at the door just now, and I could see Madam frowning from a distance. This servant can't help much, so I can only do my best to take good care of Madam's body."

Ruan Xueyin was moved, she looked at her and said seriously: "Thank you. You have always treated me very well."

She is the master and she is the servant. No one in this generation would regard a servant girl's kindness to her master as "good", at most it would be called loyalty, or she would be a servant.

Yunxi has been immersed in the deep palace for ten years, and no one has said such words to her. She was stunned for a while, with mixed feelings, but she heard Ruan Xueyin ask again while drinking the soup:
"Your Majesty, is there anything special about those two white jade cups?"

"Ma'am, are you talking about the two white jade cups? The white jade cups you usually use for drinking tea?"

Ruan Xueyin didn't understand why she had to ask twice, "It's really amazing?"

Yunxi nodded, "Those two white jade cups are your majesty's favorite. In the past, the servants served in the Wanlan Palace, and they have always been taken care of by them every day, and no second person touches them. Now they should have arranged for another person to take care of them. Why do you ask Madam?"

"It's nothing, Mrs. Jin came over one night and stared at the white jade cup in my hand for a long time."

Yunxi stared, "Madam is holding the white jade cup in her hand, are you drinking tea?"

Ruan Xueyin was puzzled, "Naturally. What would I do with tea if I don't drink it?"

Yunxi stared even worse, and opened her mouth.

Ruan Xueyin looked anxiously: "What's wrong?"

Yunxi knew that she had lost her composure, and hurriedly said: "No. It's just that these two white jade cups are very precious to you, and they are used by yourself, and have never been used by anyone else. Before Madam entered the palace, the servants were still in front of the emperor. Mrs. Jin and Mrs. Zhen came here once, so naturally they used other cups. Mrs. Yu entered the palace early, and has she been to the Turning the Lantern Hall three or four times in a year?" She was a little uncertain, but she spoke with certainty in the following words:
"Even she has never used that white jade cup, not even once."

Speaking of this, her eyes lit up, "Your Majesty treats his wife really differently. Everywhere is different."

But Ruan Xueyin couldn't understand the light in her eyes, she just felt puzzled, "I prepared two of them, but didn't let others use them, what's the reason?"

Yun Xi beamed, "I don't know why others don't use it, I only know that Madam has used it now."

Ruan Xueyin understood her joy carefully, she understood a little bit, and coughed dryly, "I've been to the Lantern Hall many times, and it's been a long time, I guess he just thinks about the cup, it's not a big deal, so he won't be stubborn anymore."

Yun Xi smiled meaningfully: "My Madam now speaks about Your Majesty, her expression is different from before."

Ruan Xueyin was terrified by her laughter: "What's the difference?"

Yunxi has a cautious temperament, and she is already relaxed in front of Ruan Xueyin, but even so, she still dare not speak rashly about the Lord, especially the Lord.

"The servant girl can't tell. In short, the servant girl is happy for Madam."
