Father's Farmer's Wife: Farming Makes a Fortune

Chapter 256 Trip to the Palace ([-])

An uneasy afternoon passed in such a gloomy atmosphere.

As dusk approached, the light of the setting sun on the river was like many golden needles and silver threads. With the swaying of the water waves, the twilight was already blurred, and the sky full of sunset glow gradually became flat and lost its color.

Smoke was rising from the kitchen, and Guo Kefu was there helping Lou Xiulan prepare dinner.There are a lot of leftovers at noon, and I plan to eat some tonight, and everyone seems to have no appetite.

Nanmenxue washed up very early today. She changed into the new clothes that Lou Xiulan bought for her yesterday. She dressed up carefully and looked like she was about to go out. She walked past the stove and said hello to her mother: "Mom, I'm going to Mingxiang Pavilion to do something. , you don’t have to wait for me tonight, the shopkeeper will send someone to take me back.”

Lou Xiulan responded, and poked her head out from the kitchen: "It's good to go after dinner, the meal will be ready soon."

Nanmenxue seemed to be in a hurry, but she had already opened the door and left.

Wei Manor's carriage stopped not far from the stone road, the servant girl saw Nanmen Xue from a distance, and waved to her: "Miss Xue'er, come here, hurry up, it's getting late."

Nanmenxue trotted over with her skirt in her hand. Today's trip was indeed a bit hasty. Didn't the servants of the Wei Mansion tell her that they would take her into the palace after a few days? In the middle of the day, she even secretly called to let her Let's go first tonight. Although she hastened her preparations, she wasted some time.

Before Nanmen Xuelin got into the carriage, she turned her head and looked around, but no one noticed, so she got into the carriage, and the maid who came to meet her also got into the carriage, and told the driver to hurry up, and she also got into the carriage. in the compartment.

Probably told Nanmenxue some rules to pay attention to in the palace.

At this time, Wei Ru's personal maid, Chunlan, had been waiting at the Donghua Gate for a long time. She paced back and forth anxiously, looking at the darkening night, afraid that she might miss today's plan. At this time, a carriage came in a hurry, and she recognized it as the carriage of Wei Mansion, so she moved over:
"Has the man been brought?"

The servant girl of Wei Mansion jumped out of the car, whispered in Chunlan's ear, and then shouted to Nanmenxue in the car: "Miss Xue'er, we're here, get out of the car."

Chunlan looked up at the car door, and the girl called Xueer leaned out. Her waist-length hair was lined with an ice blue and dark green skirt, and her jade-white tassels were gently swaying on the bun. Looking at her figure, she is graceful and enchanting.She got out of the carriage and slowly raised her face. There was a lovely smile on her delicate face.

Isn't this Nanmenxue who was sung in the palace last time on the Queen's birthday?
Seeing Chunlan's astonishment, Nanmenxue hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "Aunt Lan, we meet again, please give me your advice."

This greeting probably recognized his identity.

Chunlan didn't have time to think too much, she nodded casually, led Nanmenxue into another carriage waiting in the palace, and rushed all the way to Lanjing Pavilion.

Wei Ru was not the kind of patient person, after having dinner, he came to Lanjing Pavilion to wait, he hadn't seen Chunlan coming over for a long time, he was already restless, and sent several groups of people to check the situation, but they all were the same as that Chunlan went astray.

The carriage stopped in front of Lanjing Pavilion, Chunlan got out of the carriage first, urged Nanmenxue, then hurried ahead, it was important to return to the empress first:
"Your Majesty, Empress Empress." Before this person could arrive, the urgent voice came first.

Wei Ru recognized that it was Chunlan's voice, and instantly cheered up: "The girl who teaches music, did you bring it? Why don't you quickly bring her here to show me." Today she will be the first Try it out and see if it works.

"Back to Madam, it's true that someone brought you here, but that girl..." Such a coincidence, Chunlan didn't know how to explain: "The girl who the head of state arranged for Madam to teach music is actually the one who entered the palace on the day of Madam's birthday. Nanmenxue who presented the song."

"Oh?" Wei Ru was also very surprised, and then felt a little complacent, why didn't she think of this move, this Nanmenxue didn't live in that Nanmen's house, if she was allowed to enter the palace to teach music, Being able to control the news of Nanmenyue from her is indeed killing two birds with one stone.

"Don't let this palace dawdle, just bring someone in quickly."

Chunlan bowed her body and retreated, coming down from the Weiru Pavilion, Nanmenxue also just walked up to her: "Miss Xue'er, please come with your slaves." She led Nanmenxue up to the attic.

"Nanmenxue, a folk girl, kowtows to see her mother, and her mother is Jin'an."

Wei Ru hooked her fingers to get her to stand up. Seeing that it was getting late, it would be a waste of time to wait any longer: "Miss Xue'er, since you, as Ben Gong's music teacher, gave Ben Gong a bath while he was taking a bath. Let's play and sing a song until Ben Gong comes out of the bath." She turned her head to look at Chun Lan who was waiting at the side: "Prepare an instrument for Miss Xue Er, teach her where to play and sing, so Ben Gong can hear you the most clearly."

Chunlan took the order to leave the arrangement, and the rest of the maids surrounded Wei Ru to take a bath.

Lanjing Pavilion was originally created by the former emperor to relax. It is located not far behind the Hall of Mental Cultivation. After the former emperor passed away and Qi Bai took his place, Lanjing Pavilion has been left unused.

Wei Ru wanted to take advantage of this place today.

Chunlan prepared a Yaoqin for Nanmenxue, set her up at the view point in the attic, and invited her over: "Miss Xueer, the instrument is ready, please give me a song."

Nanmenxue arrived with small steps, and sat down. Her light fingertips landed on the strings, and after a while of playing, the elegant melody faded out.

The high walls in the palace cut off the noise of the capital at night. After nightfall, the palace is so quiet that it seems to be asleep. Accompanied by beautiful tunes, Nanmenxue's singing is even more pleasing to the ear, making people feel mesmerized. .

The cool wind in the summer night is like the invisible messenger, sending this melodious tune to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Qi Bai was reclining on the couch, his face was blushing slightly, and his black hair was a bit messy. He looked free and easy, and the quiet little tunes that hit his ears seemed to come from a dream. He held the wine glass and slowly got up. , Seeing that Li Dezheng felt nervous for a while.

Qi Bai stepped out of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, feeling the cool night breeze blowing on his face, his drunkenness faded a little, and the melody became clearer to his ears, he wondered who would play the piano and sing in this deep palace compound.

Wei Ru is a failed daughter with no talent and skills, this is something she knew when she was made her empress, so this must not be her masterpiece.

Driven by curiosity, Qi Bai followed the melodious tune and walked towards the Lanjing Pavilion behind the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

The undrinked wine in his hand swayed in the wine glass following his deep and shallow steps.
