Qingchuan History

Chapter 74
"It's so late, where is Madam going? Let's use today's bird's nest first."

She put the tray directly on the small tea table by the window, opened the lid, and the light brown soup and bird's nest shreds inside were blood swallows.

Ruan Xueyin smiled: "Yunxi and I will go to Yuehua Terrace in a while. It's nothing, just leave someone to open the door, you all should go to bed earlier."

Ruan Xueyin has never been to Yuehua Terrace since the imperial chariot began picking her up every night, not to mention she felt uncomfortable just now, even Yunxi and Tangli were stunned when they heard this.

"Speaking of which, if it wasn't for Mrs. Yu tonight—" Tang Li hesitated to speak, her expression was a little embarrassing.

But Yunxi had already heard the signs, and said impatiently: "You are such a talkative, talk about things when you have something to say, who is hesitant and anxious to death?"

Ruan Xueyin was chomping on the bird's nest, when she heard the word "Mrs. Yu", she paused for a moment with the hand holding the small silver spoon, and then resumed her movements with a calm expression.

Hearing this, Tangli simply dropped her burden and poured out: "It's autumn, and the Imperial Catering Secretary made honey pear paste and sent it to the halls. A Rui who came to deliver the pear paste in half an hour said that Mrs. Yu will be there at dinner time. Entered the Wanlan Palace, but never came out. Naturally, the light chariot of the Wanlan Palace will not be able to come tonight."

She pouted, her displeasure was written all over her face.

Yunxi stared, and silently glanced at Ruan Xueyin, she buried her head in her food and didn't respond.

So he asked softly: "Have you found out, did Mrs. Yu go there by herself, or did your majesty send someone to pick her up?"

"It seems that Mrs. Yu went there by herself."

Yunxi breathed a sigh of relief, then calmly glanced at Ruan Xueyin's face.

She remained unresponsive, as if she hadn't heard the conversation at all.

That's weird.Normally, she would stop them from talking about these things, or lightly say a joke that poured cold water on them.

But she didn't say anything at the moment, and even pretended not to hear.Of course, it is also possible that you really didn't hear it.

Yunxi felt that she was wrong, so she didn't dare to say more.She gave a wink to signal Tangli to go out first, then turned to Ruan Xueyin and said:

"Your maidservant will clean up now. After Madam has finished eating, let's go to Yuehua Terrace."

Ruan Xueyin was grateful for Yunxi's move to stop talking about the topic and to join Yuehuatai's itinerary at the same time.She couldn't tell what she was feeling at the moment, but Yunxi made her feel considerate.

The two masters and servants went to the Moonlight Terrace, and it was Haishi.I haven't been here for more than a month, and this place is still the same as when she first entered the palace, and it may even be like this for many years.

Time seems to have completely forgotten this place.

But after all, it was no longer midsummer, and the temperature and atmosphere were closer to when she first entered the palace.It's just that the spring day at that time seemed more lively after all, but at this time, the early autumn night was cool, and it was a bit gloomy in comparison.

In fact, the flowers are still in full bloom, not so gloomy.Sometimes the feeling brought by the environment is only about the mood.

Yunxi was cleaning the soft couch and small table, and Ruan Xueyin opened the Yaoxing curtain.She subconsciously turned her head to look in the direction of Pishuang Palace, the small white and fragrant flowers in the jasmine garden had all withered, leaving only green leaves, the same as back then.

At that time, Gu Xinglang was still in the middle of the night in Fengluli.

But half a year seems like a long time.

She was a little dazed, and many moments flashed through her mind in a chaotic order, peaceful, uneasy, carefree, nervous, and some indescribable, inexplicable and lingering moments that were both joyful and lingering. It's a wonderful time to be afraid.

Those are moments that are a lot like heart palpitations.

After traveling all over thousands of rivers and mountains, it is finally approaching the moment when the sky is full of stars.

Maybe it's all just an illusion.

The scenery in front of her eyes gradually became flat, as if she was just looking at a picture scroll of the Qi Palace, and she was a complete bystander, an outsider.

People sometimes have illusions.Staged misjudgments of some people and some relationships.

It is good to understand that it is an illusion.It's important to remember who you are.

She felt quite self-deprecating, and smiled with the corners of her mouth pulled, and when she turned around, she saw that Yunxi had packed up and arranged, and was staring at herself in a daze.

"how?"

Yun Xi hesitated, and asked for a while, "Madam, is there something on your mind?"

"No. Why do you ask?"

"This servant has never seen Madam look like this. It makes people uncomfortable."

Ruan Xueyin didn't quite understand what she meant, and she didn't know what her expression was at the moment. She thought about it for a moment, and said indifferently:

"I've always been like this, nothing has changed. But you, it's been weird recently."

Saying this, she skillfully took off her embroidered shoes and stretched them out on the soft couch, and the moment she raised the black jade mirror and brought her right eye close to her, she felt quite at ease.

It's still good.Perhaps it was always an illusion.

Yunxi made tea silently, wanting to wait for Ruan Xueyin to finish the first round of observation before saying anything.

The other party did not put down the Mo Yu mirror for a long time.The duration is already twice as long as the usual one round.

She was really worried, and couldn't help but say:

"Ma'am, take a break. After watching for so long, your eyes are not sore, and your hands are sore."

Ruan Xueyin regained consciousness, put down the long tube, and found that not only her arms were sore, but her neck and shoulders were also slightly swollen.

I was distracted just now.Looking at those magnified stars, my mind suddenly went elsewhere.

She took a deep breath, feeling that she was in a bad state, got up and picked up the tea that Yunxi had poured and began to drink.

"Actually, Gang Tangli also said that Mrs. Yu went there by herself and was not picked up by the Lord. You don't have to feel too uncomfortable. Recently, the Lord's concern for Zhexue Palace is unprecedented, and the slaves have been in front of the emperor for several years. Your Majesty, look at Madam's appearance—”

Ruan Xueyin frowned, turned to look at her, "What are you talking about?"

Yun Xi was stunned, and was blocked by this rhetorical question whether she was pretending to be stupid or being defensive, so she could only say embarrassingly:

"Anyway, don't think too much, ma'am."

In this case, it was five nights at the beginning.

For five whole days, the Qing chariot from Wanlan Hall did not go to Zhexue Hall, nor did they go to Yuehua Terrace.And it is said that Mrs. Yu often went to Wanlan Hall for dinner during the five days, and would return to Pishuang Hall only around Haishi.

The situation changed suddenly, and the palace was bustling again.

The center of the topic is very clear, the two orders of great favor have just been issued for more than ten days, and Mrs. Pei, who has been in and out of the Wanlan Palace for more than a month, suddenly stopped going back and forth in the imperial chariot.

Instead, Mrs. Yu walked directly from Pishuang Hall to Wanlan Hall at You hour every day, and had dinner with Jun Shang.
