boudoir

Chapter 122
The truth of the whereabouts of the document is revealed. Maybe everyone, like Liuli, guessed that Yanhua took it, but they didn't expect that she actually wrote her name on the document.The purpose of letting Yuhua participate in the draft is to find another side in Hefu, and now it is changed to Yanhua. With her appearance, whether Hefu can bring a bright future, everyone may have a scale in their hearts.

But no matter how surprised and disapproving everyone is, and no matter how angry Yu Shi, He Yuli, and the old lady and others are, they can no longer change the fact that the candidate for the draft was changed to Yanhua, even though Yu Shi slapped him a few times and left the main courtyard Yanhua is still happy to be a show girl, but from now on, Mrs. Nie has to make people rush to make the clothes and hair she needs to enter the palace overnight, and then invite Guo Xia to come and teach her palace rules and etiquette .

It was like a farce that made people laugh and cry. Yu Shi was suddenly stabbed by the mother and daughter of Nie Shi who had always regarded her as her reliance, and she fell ill when she returned to her room, and Yu Hua knew that all of this was actually Yan Hua For this reason, Dang even wanted to rush into the fourth room and stab her to death.Mrs Yu was worried that she would be overwhelmed, so she asked Mrs Xie and Mrs Ruan to accompany her in the room in turn, but after the third girl got angry, she became very calm, so she went to Mrs Yu's room to visit her that night.

No one knew what the mother and daughter said in the room, and they couldn't guess what the third girl was thinking. When Yanhua stepped into the mule cart entering the palace in full dress on February [-], Yuhua and the other girls also followed each other. Appeared together in the farewell team.Others secretly praised her for being open-minded, and even Huanhua couldn't help sighing: "It's really rare to be able to be like the third sister. She can really be called a real lady."

Liuli who was standing beside her just smiled slightly, but didn't answer the words.When I got back to the Indus Courtyard, I saw Guo Xia picking up seeds by herself under the wisteria trellis, so I walked over and sat down opposite her, and said, "What do you think about this, sir?"

Guo Xia moved the white child beside her hand to her, and said casually: "What's the point of worrying about trivial matters? In this vast world, among the countless clans, how many open and secret fights are going on every day. Once the gate is closed , the two doors are closed, who knows that the beautiful women in He's mansion change people? Just like you and I see other mansions, they seem to be all harmonious and warm, but in fact there are contradictions, how can it be understood in a few words?"

Liu Li dropped a white stone after deliberation, and said: "What you said is very true. Some people have things, and it is true that you can't just look at the surface."

Guo Xia didn't lift her head and collected a piece of white paper, saying: "Have you handed in your homework yet?"

Liuli filled a white piece and went up, hurriedly said: "I've handed it in, I'll give it to Aunt Ren in the morning."

Guo Xia looked up at her and didn't move for a while.Liuli thought she said something wrong, so she stopped for a while and didn't dare to make a move.After watching her, Guo Xia looked down at the chessboard with a hint of disdain, slowly put away the whole piece of white pieces she had just played, nodded as if confirming something, and said, "You really are a bad chess player!"

Liuli is very ashamed, since she was young, she has no talent between black and white chess, the so-called playing chess is just a vassal of elegance, how can she be no match for Guo Xia who has gained in both piano, chess, calligraphy and painting?Immediately stood up, ready to retreat.Just turned around, but stopped suddenly, Mr. Cai said just now that she was "really" a bad chess player, did someone tell her about it? !
That night at Jinquan Temple, Du Rui also said that she was bad at playing chess. Could it be that he told Guo Xia this? !
Immediately, she felt goosebumps all over her body, and quickly turned her head to look over, only to see that Guo Xia was still bowing her head, and there was nothing unusual about it.

Liuli knew that she was very suspicious, and when she became suspicious, she couldn't let it go, but she couldn't open her mouth to ask, this matter was like a stick in her throat, which made her feel uneasy for several days.The old lady's eyes were not right, so she never paid attention to her.But Shuangxi saw it. A few days ago, someone said that Du Rui had come to the house. Shuangxi saw that she was sitting in Yishou Garden embroidering flowers, and she didn't go to the front to accompany the old lady. .Could it be something on your mind?"

Liuli would not tell her if she had something on her mind, so she immediately said, "Where did I get my concern? It's nothing."

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Shuangxi gave up.Turn around and go to fold clothes for her.

Liuli embroidered for a while, and also felt that it was inappropriate to do so. Then Du Rui was just someone who disturbed her unintentionally, and had nothing to do with her. Why should she be so jealous of him?What's more, if he really wants to tell her what happened that night to take revenge on her, he doesn't need to hide it. Naturally, he has already found her door. Why hasn't he taken any action until now?Maybe it was because she took herself too seriously, Suhua had already said that he came for Yuhua, and since Yuhua didn't go to the draft this time, he naturally wouldn't remember her.

Thinking about it this way, I felt very hypocritical, so I stopped my embroidery work and got up to the front yard.

It has been nearly two months since Yanhua entered the palace, and at the end of March, the palace issued a decree saying that Yanhua had already passed the primary election.After the primary election is the imperial election, it means that no matter how well Yanhua performs, her future of entering the harem or entering the Marquis is preliminarily determined.As long as she pays more attention to everything during this period of time, it's no problem to fight for a good way out.

Most of the whole family was surprised by Yanhua's performance, because the five girls usually did not act like ladies, but then they were relieved, after all, Guo Xia still had some face in the palace, Yanhua No matter how bad it is, she can't even fail the primary election.If so, Yanhua has already made the old lady very happy, and the complaints about her taking away the Yuhuaxiu girl's place in her words did not disappear. The hatred inside is always chilling.

Mrs. Nie knew this level, so she had almost cut off contact with the head room in the past two months, and every time she came to the main courtyard to pay her respects, she always intentionally lagged behind by a few steps, which was rare and low-key.In the house, he didn't fight with He Xiuyuan any more, and gave some things to Aunt Feng and Min Cui from time to time, he looked a bit like a good wife.

Because of Shuhua's failure to apply for the election, Mrs. Liang couldn't go when she saw Yuhua, and her heart was finally completely balanced. It seemed that Yanhua was her daughter, and when she mentioned this meeting, she burst into a three-pointed smile. very enthusiastic.After going back and forth, the relationship with the Nie family gradually showed signs of breaking the ice. A while ago, someone saw the two meet while enjoying the spring in the back garden, and stopped to chat and laugh.

The old lady was already very relieved to see that the weak Sifang had gradually straightened her back, and she was even more happy to see that Mrs. Nie was able to reflect on herself and change because of this incident. Whenever Mrs. Nie was around, she would always ask her A few words, and a few words of encouragement, Mrs. Nie always obeyed obediently, coaxing the old lady very comfortably.

Because of this, the old lady seems to be feeling better in recent days. When the weather is fine, she invites two people to accompany her, and invites two actors to sing a few operas in the yard.

When Liuli arrived at Anxi Hall, the old lady was listening to "Legend of the White Snake" with her eyes slightly closed under the crabapple tree, accompanied by Suhua and Aunt Su.Seeing Liuli coming, Suhua got up and waved: "Come here quickly, there are freshly made lotus root noodles!" Aunt Su laughed and said: "Su'er keep your voice down, your ninth sister is not as greedy as you."

Suhua said: "That's not necessarily true, this time it's a tribute, she will taste it no matter how greedy she is."

The old lady opened her eyes when she heard the words, and smiled: "This is one of the rewards issued by the palace when girl Yan passed the election, and your Auntie Su found it when she took the medicine for me just now, so you can try it."

Liuli then sat down beside Suhua and let her order Hongmei to make lotus root powder.

Before Hongmei came up here, another person rushed in from the corner door, and when he reached the old lady, he bowed his head and said, "Si Er, please greet mother!"

Liuli saw that it was He Xiuyuan, so she quickly got up and gave up her seat.Seeing the joy on his face again, he was trying to guess why, but he said that he was about to get up: "Si'er told mother a good news, Min Cui is pregnant!"

The old lady was stunned for a moment before saying, "How long has it been?"

He Xiuyuan smiled and said, "I just asked Dr. Wu for a consultation, and it has been more than a month!"

Here, Liuli and Suhua are still in their boudoirs, and it is inconvenient to listen to these matters, so they use the excuse of going behind the crabapple tree to enjoy the flowers.The old lady regained her composure, and she couldn't help being happy: "It's really uplifting! Your fourth wife has had many happy events recently, and it's probably because of the ancestor's spirit!"

Aunt Su also smiled and said: "That's exactly the reason! Congratulations to the fourth master!"

He Xiuyuan had known her since childhood, so he didn't shy away from it in front of the old lady, so he smiled and cupped his hands and said, "Thank you!" He sat down and waited for the old lady to put her hands together and pray to the sky, then he pondered for a while He paused and said: "Dr. Wu just looked at it and said that the baby is not safe in the womb for the first three months and needs to be recuperated. You can't do more activities these days and you have to pay attention to your diet."

After hearing this, the old lady urged: "Since that's the case, why don't you go back and ask someone to take care of you?"

He Xiuyuan glanced at Aunt Su, and murmured: "The waiter has ordered it, but didn't my mother say at the beginning that if Min Cuiruo is pregnant, you will give me all the things to make up her body? This time he is exactly When it’s time to make up, didn’t I come to ask my mother for something!”

Aunt Su couldn't help laughing when she saw that he looked like a stunned father who had just become a father. "Our fourth master really looks like a child who can't grow up!" The old lady followed her finger and pointed to him: "Look at your worthless appearance, I can still make you short of this little thing! You go back, and I will do it myself Send someone over here!"

He Xiuyuan didn't move, he still laughed and said: "Now Mincui is waiting to be used, the old lady is ready, why don't you just let me take it back. It will also save the girls from making another trip."

The old lady poked his forehead and scolded: "The prodigal beast, you have been plotting against your old lady all day long!" Turning her head, she saw that Liuli was not there, so she said to Aunt Su: "Go and pick some in the house." Give him some warming and nourishing herbs! If you don’t give birth to a child later, let him return all these things to me!”

Aunt Su smiled and said yes, glanced at He Xiuyuan, and walked into the house.
