The cute master who always attacks the queen

Chapter 13 Coincidence
There was a peach tree on this side of the fence, and Yu Ci climbed onto the branch, stepped on it and jumped over it.Seeing that they hadn't found this way yet, he straightened his coir raincoat and bamboo hat and went to the pavilion.

After walking two steps, I heard the sound of the flute again, this time it was playing elegant music, played slowly, with a long and clear rhyme, elegant and far-reaching.As soon as I heard it, I knew it was a man playing.

Yu Ci knew that Yuan Lu was not a kind person, but she still didn't expect him to be so vicious.

The maids followed the sound to find it, and naturally they ran into Miu Ci.Although no one asked anything in silence, there was hesitation in his eyes.Concubine Ci wanted to explain, but wanted to cover up, so she could only deliberately ask: "The sound of this flute is clear and noble, but I don't know what kind of woman is playing it. Who of you will call her here? I want to see her."

An older court lady lowered her eyebrows and said, "There is the Jingxiu Hall over there, and no one is taking care of it. I think the concubines of Yulefang are rehearsing. Do you want to send someone to summon you?"

Yu Ci said: "In this case, there is no need to bother."

The court lady said again: "The He Xuan has been arranged, does the empress have a sense of elegance?" "

Yu Ci said wearily: "She is so skillful at flute, how can I be the best at it? Forget it, let's go back."

She was afraid of making another ensemble of piano and flute, and she didn't want to stay for a moment longer.Although those maids were young, they were all human spirits, they didn't say anything when they heard the words, they just followed Yuci back obediently.

Yu Ci passed by Xiuyi Hall, wanted to drop by Lin Xiuyi, lingered at the door for a while, but finally gave up.When she thought of the last time she came, Lin Xiuyi's face was ashen, her eyes were dead silent, but she still instinctively struggled to get up to greet her, and she couldn't feel at ease.So only a little lady-in-waiting was left to inquire.

When we returned to the hall, it was lunch time again, and there seemed to be delays.

Sakura kept sneezing, she really had a fever, and she was lying in the room resting.Yuci didn't come back for a long time, and everyone in the hall felt uneasy, so Aping took people out to look for her.

After listening to a court lady finish reporting the morning's affairs, seeing that there was nothing urgent or urgent, she took a bath first, and then went to Sakura's room to look around.

Jian Jun is currently in the study behind the Tai Chi Hall.

This was the first big festival after he took office, and it was also the Spring Festival of reunion, so he specially recalled the vassal kings to the capital.It not only shows grace, but also serves as an edict to the world.

Seeing Jun's family background is no different than these princes and grandchildren, there is no genealogy at birth, and there is no universal celebration, but illegitimate children are usually hidden in secret mansions and raised by the late emperor when they were six years old, which seems to be of unknown origin.These people don't say anything openly, but they have discussions behind their backs.Jian Jun knew it well, so he was not very close to these people.This time it was just a matter of routine.

Only Yuanlu was an exception.

Yuanlu's father was the late emperor's younger brother, who had been ill since he was a child, and died when Yuanlu was three years old.At that time, the eldest son of the first emperor had just died, so he took Yuan Lu with him to raise him personally, as a way of comforting him.

Later, the first emperor came to the throne, but he had no heir for a long time, and the imperial concubine loved Yuanlu, so the first emperor wanted to adopt him under the name of the imperial concubine, and make him a prince in the future.It's just that the concubine is still there, and the imperial concubine will definitely not be able to adopt him. The imperial concubine cried a few times, but the ministers never let go, so the matter was left alone.

However, the first emperor still kept Yuanlu in the palace and placed it next to the imperial concubine, trying to create an established fact.It was only later that Jian Jun appeared, and after a few years, the imperial concubine also grew old, and the issue of adoption was completely settled.

Yuan Lu grew up in the palace, so after Jian Jun was established as the prince, he was the only playmate in Jian Jun's palace.

Yuanlu is a man, quite a bit of the mediocrity of the past.Ordinarily, ordinary people who have been raised as quasi-princes for six or seven years and are suddenly beaten back to their original form should be somewhat psychologically unbalanced, awkward and resentful.Yuan Lu didn't have it at all, not only didn't have it, but he was relieved, and he became more comfortable as his romantic and leisurely prince.

After the imperial concubine became pregnant, everyone in the palace was worried about Jian Jun's status, and intentionally or unintentionally alienated him, for fear of being implicated by him in the future. At that time, only Yuan Lu played with Jian Jun as if nothing had happened.Once abducted him to climb walls and trees to make troubles, and tried to find a dog hole in the palace wall to take him out to play.

However, Yuan Lu is too chic, he never intentionally managed his relationship with Jian Jun, and his closeness and intimacy with him are all based on whim, so the two are not so close.

But it was enough to make Jianjun treat him differently.Among so many princes and nobles, Jian Jun only allowed him to enter the palace alone, and walked around at will.

Seeing Jun summoning Yuanlu today is just a reunion after a long absence to reminisce about old feelings.

I didn't see him after waiting for half a day, knowing that he must be busy with other things on the spur of the moment, so I didn't blame him, I just took a book from the shelf, read it and waited.

Around lunch time, a young eunuch came outside and bit the head eunuch's ears for a while.

The head eunuch stole glances at Jian Jun several times.After listening to the words, he hurried all the way over, and said to Jian Jun: "Your Majesty, answer outside, saying that Yuan Lu entered the palace early this morning."

Jian Jun turned the pages of the book indifferently and said, "Oh."

The chief eunuch waited for a long time, saw that Jun hadn't responded, and said again: "I heard from the sweeping maid of Chengguang Palace that there seemed to be a person who looked like that passing by, but turned a corner and went in the direction of the Jingxiu Hall. "

Jian Jun then removed his eyes from the book, lost his mind for a while, and said: "When the first emperor sealed off the Jingxiu Hall, he had already left the capital and went to the feudal clan. I think he saw it today, and he was confused for a while, so let's go find out... ... After all, he grew up beside Concubine Zhu Gui, so it is inevitable that he will feel nostalgic."

The chief eunuch nodded with a busy smile and said, "Yes, I heard from Xiaogong's daughter that she played the flute all morning."

Jian Jun gave a "hmm", raised his eyebrows and said, "You sneaked here mysteriously, just to say such a thing?"

The chief eunuch hurriedly slapped himself twice, and said: "Damn the servant, Your Majesty, there is actually something else, it's just a coincidence, so the servant can't say much."

Jian Jun glanced at him with a smile, and said, "Finally, I'm in a good mood today, so I don't blame you."

The chief eunuch then lowered his voice, and said closer: "Someone from the Hall of Compassion has just come to report that Empress Concubine Ci said that she went out for a walk, and she hasn't returned to the palace until now. She asked if she had ever been to the Hall of Tai Chi."

Jian Jun couldn't help but put down his book and stood up, his dark eyes were bright and vivid, and asked, "You Ci said to come to see me?"

Seeing his expression, the chief eunuch was taken aback for a moment.Although Jianjun stayed in the Mici Palace this month, he was not lucky.In addition, seeing that Jun secretly gritted his teeth at Shao Bo even more, the chief eunuch thought that he only favored concubine Ci just for show.But seeing this situation—Jian Jun seemed to really hope that Yu Ci would come to see him?
Jian Jun asked again: "Why didn't I hear the report, but she saw that I was busy and couldn't bear to disturb?"

The head eunuch hurriedly knelt down and said, "If you go back to the master, the concubine is not here."

Seeing Jun's eyes flickering, and his face seemed a little red, he sat back and took the book and turned a page, saying, "Isn't there anyone following you when you go out? You still have to come to me and ask, how do they serve you?"

The chief eunuch faltered and said: "There were people following, but when they reached Chengguang Palace, the empress sent them away."

Seeing Jun's expressionless face, he asked after a while, "You said that Yuci went to Chengguang Palace?"

The chief eunuch said: "My lady Ci said she wanted to go to the lotus pond, and she placed a piano in the hexuan...but suddenly disappeared. Your majesty, the lotus pond and the Jingxiu hall..."

Seeing that Jun had no symptoms, he suddenly threw the book at him and said, "Shut up, what noble identities are Yu Ci and Yuan Lu, it's your turn to gossip with me, can't you know your own weight? Dare to imitate nonsense!"

The chief eunuch had seen him having a seizure, but it was his turn for the first time, and he was sweating profusely, chanting "slave should die", and kowtowed like garlic.

Jian Jun seemed to be really angry with him this time, and walked out of the study without saying anything.

The head eunuch heard it clearly, and when he went out, he saw Jun saying to the guards: "Pass the decree, and set up the lotus pond." I couldn't figure out what Jian Jun meant, so I could only stalk out and dragged a little eunuch to scold: "I'm still here!" If you don’t try to persuade me, what’s wrong with going out in the rain this day?”

The little eunuch was ignorant, and said back: "Why don't you persuade yourself?"

The chief eunuch slapped him hard, and had no choice but to chase him out angrily.

Yu Ci didn't know that the news of the morning had already reached the Tai Chi Hall.

Xiao Ying was ill, and Ah Ping went out to look for her, but he didn't return after searching for a long time. There was no one in charge around her who could dispatch her, so he went to Cuiyuxuan alone.

Meeting Yuan Lu in the morning reminded her of someone—Yuan Lu's future mother-in-law, Gao Shi, the wife of Gao Huancheng, the chief assistant of the cabinet.In fact, when arranging the seats, Azhu and Ayu specifically mentioned this person. It seems that this person will contribute to the misfortune in the future, and the reason for this is the banquet-she believes that her husband will succeed the chief assistant. She was supposed to be on an equal footing with Yu Ci, but in the end, Yu Ci ranked her at the bottom of the third wife, and she was wronged.In addition, Yuci and Yuanlu did have some unclear things, so in the future, they would always instigate their daughter to make trouble for Yuci.It really caused Yuci to suffer a lot from being dumb.

Yuci memorized the seat table and asked Azhu to change it, and Ayu verified it, so there must be no mistakes.However, the appearance of Yuan Lu still made her feel a little bit like a snake.It's better to ask again after thinking about it.

Cuixia Pavilion and Jiyun Hall are juxtaposed, one on the left and the other on the right between the Taiji Hall and the inner court. One is the place where Concubine Ci and Ming Fu have banquets, and the other is where Jian Jun bestows banquets on new class Jinshi and banquets for all officials. .Needless to say, it is magnificent with carved beams and painted buildings, cornices and corners.Its height is not comparable to that of other buildings, and all the way to the end, the throne of the empress is located in the north, and the other three sides are all exquisitely carved windows, supported by twelve nanmu pillars on both sides, which is very transparent even in rainy days. bright.

At this time, Ayu and Azhu set up a table on both sides of the hall gate, and they lined up in front of each other. One checked the receipts, and the other handed out the badges, without disturbing each other.The utensils in the hall have been placed almost.

Seeing that they were busy and happy, Xi Ci couldn't help but smile.

Back in the group, I always complained about waking up early, going to bed late at night, spending time in the laboratory from early morning to early morning, but here I suddenly became a rice bug.At this time, I finally have work to do. Although it is a boring form, it is a waste of brain, but I am still very busy.

Seeing Miu Ci walk by, Ayu jumped up excitedly and shouted: "Your Majesty!"

Yu Ci almost complied, until a group of people heard the reputation and knelt down on the ground in panic before realizing it.

Ayu also stuck out her tongue and quickly followed Azhu to kneel down.

Yuci had a headache at first, and Ayu was speechless. Seeing the two of them knelt down, she felt annoyed that she shouldn't hastily come out to find them, so she hurriedly got them all up.

Under the eyes of everyone, Yu Ci couldn't get too close to them, so she could only take a list from Ah Zhu's table as if nothing had happened, glanced at it casually, and said: "Tomorrow all the women who will come will be ordered by the court, the emperor values ​​talents, I have always treated the courtiers kindly, and I can't neglect their wives. You must do your best, and you can't make mistakes and neglect anyone."

Azhu smiled and said: "It's natural, the empress wants to test it herself?"

Yu Ci said: "Then there's no need for it." Ah Zhu doesn't like to talk about serious matters, but she knows everything in her mind, so she can just stop at the point, and if she talks too much, she won't get her way.I will not say more.

Ah Zhu really turned out the seat list, but after just a glance, her face changed a little.

Yu Ci already knew that the problem still lies with Mrs. Rong, so she couldn't help but sighed in her heart, slandering the so-called wheel of fortune... Why is there so much inertia.Fortunately, she took a look ahead.

He said: "Just deal with it, and report to me when you return to the palace at night."

It's just a seat change, it's not that troublesome, not to mention that Ah Zhu changed it on purpose before.It was just that this one was wrong, and Azhu was worried that there was something wrong with the others, so she checked with Ayu again after finishing the arrangement.Therefore, when I returned to Shoucheng Hall, dinner was already over.

But seeing that Jun hadn't come yet today, Yu Ci had been waiting for him, so he didn't eat.

The three of them hung a table of food, entered the room, closed the door, and began to discuss the afternoon's affairs.

At that time, she specially reminded Yuci to pay attention to this detail, but Ah Zhu had no reason to ignore it.

It was normal for Ayu not to notice, her job was just to check a few receipts to see if there were discrepancies between them.When checking, her mind was like a photocopier, and the images were accurate, but she didn't have to think about what was written.Each perform their duties, this is also for the sake of efficiency, there is nothing to blame.

In fact, the three of them knew exactly where the problem was—the seat list that Ayu got was not the same one that Azhu gave her.The problem is, when Ah Zhu handed it to her in person, who dropped it halfway?

Ayu faltered and refused to say anything, but Azhu and Yuci both thought that she ran to the inner mansion that day, leaving Biyuan alone in that room.Even if she didn't transfer the package, this matter must have a lot to do with her.

The problem is——it was Ayu who spoke first: "What good does this do for her? How does she know that Mrs. Rong is your enemy?"

Yu Ci was also puzzled.

But Ah Zhu said coldly: "You never thought that it might not be the empress who is going to frame you."

Ayu didn't understand yet, but Miu Ci was a little stunned, "You mean, she wanted to frame you and Ayu? That makes sense, but she is Lin Xiuyi's girl, and you..." Then she suddenly fell silent and took a deep breath quietly. Take a breath.

Azhu snorted coldly, and said: "If Ayu finds out that something is wrong, it is naturally my fault. If not, Ayu and I will not be able to escape. Back then, you personally proposed to arrange Madam Rong as the seat of honor. Kind of trouble, if you are not our mother, will you still let us do things for you in the future?"

Xie Ci said: "No one is at fault, so I wouldn't blame it for it. What's more, this matter is a side issue..."

A Zhu said: "This is where that person is inferior to you. She herself has a dark mind, so naturally she won't regard you as a tolerant and bright person. She is capable of backstabbing, slander and separation—" A Zhu glanced at A Yu With a glance, she said, "Of course she doesn't have to trouble her so much when she meets an idiot. I don't think she can't do it by framing her. Anyway, I reminded you a long time ago, so you should believe it now."

Ayu said: "But how did she do it? Biyuan is still there."

Ah Zhu has suffered a lot these days, and if she doesn't get angry, it doesn't mean she really doesn't mind. Seeing that Yu Ci and Ah Yu are still skeptical, she feels gloomy and said, "Who should you ask about this matter? This kind of envy, jealousy and hatred will naturally trample her to death!"

After finishing speaking, he turned around and slammed the door to go out.As a result, as soon as he went out, he ran into someone within two steps.Yu Ci and A Yu were chasing after her, seeing that it was A Ping she bumped into, they couldn't help but help their foreheads at the same time.

Naturally, Ah Zhu would not give Ah Ping a good look at this time, let alone apologize, stood up without even asking a word, walked around her and left.On the contrary, Ah Ping got up weakly, bowed to Yu Ci, and asked with concern: "What urgent matter did your empress order?"

Seeing the faces of the maids in the palace, Yu Ci already knew that the rumor that Ah Zhu was bullying Ah Ping in their hearts had become more solid.

Naturally, she was thinking about A Zhu, and she was half-trusting A Ping, but A Ping was quite proud of her low-key tone as before, so she said with a bad face: "You don't need to ask. Why are you returning now?"

A blush rose on A Ping's face, and he said: "I lost my way at the lotus pond, my lady forgive me."

Seeing that she was shy and shy, she was still a little girl, so it was not easy to find out, so she said, "Go take a hot bath first. Don't forget to visit Xiao Ying after dinner, she will take care of you all afternoon when she is sick. "

A Pingfu resigned with a blessing, and his movements were slightly awkward.When she walked past Yu Ci, Yu Ci saw a red mark on her neck, pointed at it, and said, "Wipe some medicated oil for removing blood stasis in a while, and it won't be good for people to see tomorrow."

She didn't think much about it, she just thought it was caused by mosquito bites or rubbing, but she saw that Aping's body shook violently, and said in an erratic voice: "Yes." She staggered away.

She went there for a long time before Miu Ci suddenly thought of another possibility, and immediately felt a little dazed.

Then the eunuch outside heard the report, and the emperor arrived.

　I have been holding back this chapter for a long time, and finally coded it out. Sorry, I have been in a bad state for the past two days. I wrote two chapters today.
