The cute master who always attacks the queen

Chapter 40 Double Ninth Festival

Autumn rain comes in a hurry and goes in a hurry.

When Yu Ci waited and saw Jun lying down, the autumn insects were already chirping again.

The crescent moon has fallen to the west mountain, and the starlight is unusually bright, but it does not illuminate Geng Geng Qiu Ye.

Yu Ci got up to close the window, and saw that the rice paper on the table had been wet by the rain, and the shredded strings on it were all mushy, so she remembered the one she threw out of the window.Now after five or six days, it rained again, I'm afraid the beads on it have melted into the soil.

She was a little annoyed, but she could only make up for it, ordered someone to light the palace lantern, and carried it out to look for it.

Seeing that Jun was not asleep and Miu Chi was not by his side, he felt a little uneasy.But he didn't dare to chase her out and cling to her, so he clenched the net in his hand and forced himself to fall asleep.

He vaguely felt that something was wrong with the hand, and the beads in the net felt like agar, slightly soft.The surface is as rough and sticky as dough.But he couldn't sleep for several days, he was too sleepy to think, and he could only subconsciously rub his hands to pass the time.After an unknown period of time, he felt that it was Yu Ci who had returned, and as soon as his consciousness relaxed, he fell asleep in a daze.

Two days later is the Double Ninth Festival.

Seeing that Jun was having an awkward fight with Yu Ci, I thought that Yu Ci would not prepare well, but unexpectedly, when it was close to lunch time, someone from Kunning Palace came and invited him to a family dinner.

At that time, I saw that Jun was discussing matters with the cabinet, and there was news from the border that two months ago, Prince Yougui, a prince of Ti Wang's ministers, led a rebellion and was defeated by Hiti's left minister, Timur, and fled to the pass.The rebels of the king and ministers have all been killed, and the hearts of the remaining two are floating.The guard suggested to win over Yougui, and let him instigate rebellion against the remnants of the king's ministers, so that Xiti's civil strife would leave him with no time to care.

The cabinet debated again on this matter.Originally, with Ah Lian present, the stalemate had been broken.But this time, Ah Lian didn't take this matter to heart at all, and didn't even express his opinion.Therefore, Zhou Tianci and Gao Huancheng took turns to persuade A Lian to discuss matters before the imperial court.

Jian Jun was watching coldly.At this time, when she heard that Yu Ci invited him to a banquet, she was in a hurry to leave, so she asked, "What do you think, Ai Qing?"

A-Lian was stunned for a moment, quickly recovered, and went forward to report: "I was thinking about the autumn floods of the Yellow River. Before entering Beijing, I passed by Puzhou, and saw that the river bed was several feet higher than the residential houses, and it was already a hanging river. A few days ago, near Puzhou If it rains continuously, I am afraid that the Yellow River will burst, and the consequences will be disastrous."

Jian Jun was slightly stunned, then turned around and told the little eunuch to tell Miu Ci that he would go later and let her eat first.Then he sat upright and said, "When Li Chengqing did not return to Beijing in July, the Ministry of Industry had already mentioned this matter. I allocated money to order the embankment to be built, but Cheng Qing felt that it was not enough to protect it? If you have heard anything, just tell me."

Huan Cheng and Tianci looked at each other, they didn't expect that the topic would be changed like this, and after realizing it, they were a little embarrassed at the same time, looked at it for a while, and interjected: "Your Majesty, about Yougui..."

Jian Jun glanced at them impatiently, "A prince who surrendered and rebelled, abandoned his subjects' homeland and fled to a foreign country alone, is it worthy of the concern of my two cabinet ministers?"

If Miu Ci could hear his heartfelt voice, she would definitely laugh to herself——A Lian only recognizes things but doesn't recognize others, he doesn't even rely on the emperor, what are you?
After receiving the report from the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Yu Ci expected that Jun would not be able to come for a while, so she was not in a hurry to get someone to serve meals.

Jian Jun told her last time that he loves viewing flowers and eating crabs the most.So she arranged a banquet at the Jiasi Pavilion on the rockery in the Royal Garden.She knew that there was a ready-made whole crab banquet in the imperial dining room, but she didn't want to spend too much, so she just ordered the crabs to be steamed, blanched with chrysanthemum wine, and prepared Double Ninth Cake.

The imperial garden has a special flower room to take care of, and all the seasonal flowers and plants are placed.It was autumn, and chrysanthemums were newly planted all over the garden.Although it was transplanted, but because it was outdoors, the flower pots were buried in the soil together, and all I could see was a sea of ​​flowers, colorful and eye-catching.Yu Ci also read chrysanthemum trees when she was in Shaofu, but she couldn't recognize all the varieties.

There is a pot of pink hydrangea alone in Jiasi Pavilion, which is half the height of a person, with overlapping layers and clusters of flowers.

Yu Ci came early and enjoyed it for a while by herself before seeing concubines from other palaces coming in twos and threes.

Ping'er was naturally among them.

Yu Ci only felt that the interest in her heart dissipated in an instant.

She turned around and looked towards the lotus pond to the west, and told A Yin to let her tell everyone that she was having fun, and there was no need to come to say hello to her.

But after a while, she still heard Ping'er's soft voice, "Is the queen empress still angry with your servant?"

Yu Ci sat silently and didn't speak, and didn't look back.

All the concubines under the rockery gathered together to chat and laugh, looking up from time to time, smiling subtly and whispering.

Confused, she just said, "Why should I be angry with you? Now that you have a status, you don't need to call yourself a slave in front of me."

Ping'er kowtowed, and said in a low voice: "A servant who has served your maidservant for a day will be a slave under her feet for the rest of her life. Without a maidservant, there would be no servants today. If your maidservant refuses to forgive your servants, you will have no way to deal with them."

Seeing the glistening water in the lotus pond, Yu Ci felt more and more boring here, "You don't have to tell me these things. I don't know all the things you did in the past, but I don't know everything. There is a saying in this world, if you If you don’t want others to know, you have to do it yourself. There is another saying that good and evil will be rewarded in the end. Since you have stayed and established your own family, it is better to do everything yourself.” She waved her hand and said, “You step back. "

Ping'er didn't move for a long time, and after a while, she choked up and said: "Your Majesty's teachings, the servants have memorized them. The servants have no way to repay your kindness. The servants embroidered a hanging screen for your mother, please accept it."

Yu Ci was too lazy to talk to her any more, so she got up and left.

When she came back, Ping'er was no longer in the pavilion.Only one piece of embroidery was left on the table.

Concubine Ci ordered people to unfold it, and saw a tree of laurel embroidered on it, the moon was like a mirror, the flowers fell like rain, and there was a lady holding this chant below. Snow.The embroidery thread is as thin as a hair, and there is no gap to be found. When you look at it, you can only feel the brilliance and exquisiteness.

It may take several years to complete this embroidery.Although Yu Ci didn't like her, she didn't want to disappoint her craftsmanship, so she gave the embroidery to A Yin and said, "Go and return it to the South American."

A Yin froze for a moment, then asked: "What if she doesn't answer?"

Yu Ci said: "However this thing is here, let it go back. You are much smarter than her, why can't you compare to her means of doing things?"

Ayin had no choice but to pick up the embroidery.

Seeing A Yin say a few words on the steps, Yu Ci stuffed the embroidery into the arms of Pinming, Pinger's maid, and then ran away, laughing softly—A Yin is also a wonderful person.

Seeing Jun's delay in coming, the concubines below were already a little anxious.

Yu Chi felt that since it was a family banquet, Jian Jun was indispensable, so she insisted on waiting.But after noon, when she saw the two concubines of the West Palace ordered someone to send the princess, the two little girls were as delicate as Jian Jun, and they looked like they were vegetarians following their mother every day.Still ordered people to have a banquet.

Lin Xiuyi came later than the princesses.The appearance of falling down when the wind blows, even thinner than the last time we met.

She was not so gregarious, and after a few words with Ping'er, she sat by the pond by herself and rubbed a chrysanthemum to tease the fish.Miu Ci caught a glimpse of someone bumping into her from above, but she didn't know whether it was intentional or not.If it wasn't for Ping'er pulling her, she might fall down.

Lin Xiuyi was tired and didn't bother with the person who bumped into her.On the other hand, Zeng Shuzhen hurried out, scolded the girl fiercely, and kept apologizing to Lin Xiuyi.

Yu Ci looked at it for a while.

Lin Xiuyi had a miscarriage last time, and the people who lived with her behaved very disappointingly.She wanted to protect Lin Xiuyi, and she really didn't want her to mix with those people anymore, so she said, "Please come up and sit down with Lin Zhaorong." After a pause, she continued, "Send that girl to the Shangyi Bureau for questioning...don't disturb the banquet .”

The two princesses knew the etiquette very well, but they were a little reserved in front of Yu Ci.There are mothers waiting behind them, and the birds generally just need to open their mouths and wait to eat.Then he said nothing.

Yu Ci felt that Jianjun's family had delicate genes. His two younger sisters were both eight or nine years old, but they looked like five or six-year-old girls, delicate and soft, as painful as cotton balls.

She couldn't help but hugged one and put it on her lap, and picked the crab roe with a spoon to feed her.He smiled at Lin Xiuyi and said, "You help me hold her."

With soft eyes, Lin Xiuyi stretched out her hand to hug the other from Mama's hand.Seeing her staring at the big oats on the plate, he patiently knocked them open for her, and cut out the meat with the pliers for her to eat.The little princess obediently opened her mouth to accept.

Yu Ci laughed unknowingly, and said, "She wants to play with it."

Lin Xiuyi was stunned for a moment, leaned over and asked with her eyes, the little princess blushed and said "hmm" in a low voice.

Lin Xiuyi also laughed, picked another big one, and ordered Bi Yuan to wash off the oil stains with mung bean noodles, and stuffed it into her hand.

Seeing that Lin Xiuyi was happy, Yu Ci felt relieved, and said with a smile, "Have a sip of shochu first, it doesn't matter if you eat crabs or not, don't miss the Double Ninth Cake."

Lin Xiuyi gave a "hmm" and said again: "Just now I heard people say that Ping'er presented a piece of embroidery to the empress?"

Miu Ci didn't expect her to mention Ping'er, and when she thought about her previous relationship with Ping'er, she couldn't help but feel a little awkward—she didn't want to hear Lin Xiuyi's words of pleading for Ping'er.

However, Lin Xiuyi seemed to continue unintentionally, "Her embroidery skills are rare, but it's a pity that although this dynasty doesn't pay attention to taboos, what should be avoided should be avoided.

Yu Ci didn't have the consciousness of avoiding taboos, she was still ignorant, but she couldn't help but feel a chill all over her body.Waiting for Lin Xiuyi to clarify her doubts, she stopped talking, and only concentrated on teasing the little princess in her arms, with soft eyebrows and eyes, just like a loving mother.

Seeing that the sun was heading west, the two little princesses at Yuyuan had already eaten and slept, but Jianjun still didn't come.He only ordered two plates of Chongyang cakes, saying that he had eaten them with the cabinet.

Hearing this, the pretty girls in the imperial garden were all depressed and soon dispersed.The two mothers also hugged the princess, and knelt down with Yuci.

Seeing that the Double Ninth Cake delivered by Jun is still hot, Xie Ci splits up with Lin Xiuyi.

Lin Xiuyi hung her head in silence, took a long time to twist a small piece into her mouth, and then got up to bid farewell to Yuci.

Yu Cilue felt a little windy, and was afraid that she would get sick again, so she didn't keep her.

For a while, there were only remnants of seats and chrysanthemums left in the imperial garden, and it was cold and quiet.

Yuci ordered people to clean up the remaining seats in the garden, reheat the wine and bring them over.The unique aroma of chrysanthemum wine floats in the air, masking the fishy smell of crab shells.

Jianjun only said that he had eaten, but he didn't say that he couldn't come.Yu Ci knew that he had been thinking about this day, so she was still waiting for him in the garden.

Nothing to do.She poured a glass of shochu by herself, walked to the place where Lin Xiuyi was sitting and feeding the fish, glanced around, feeling a little upset.

——If the girl is not careful, it is easier to fall directly into the water, and it would be a bit strange to push it on Lin Xiuyi.And Ping'er was able to grab Lin Xiuyi in time, so when that girl bumped into her, she would know that the target was Lin Xiuyi.

Yu Ci didn't think that Ping'er could bribe Zeng Shuzhen's maid—had she been staring at Zeng Shuzhen?

Before she could figure it out, she heard footsteps approaching behind her.Surprised, he hurriedly turned around, only to see that it was Jianjun.

Seeing her flustered expression, Jian Jun was obviously on guard, so he took a step back unconsciously.He was sad in his heart, and his smile was a little forced, "I just think that the queen should not have left... Seeing that the queen is still here, I was happy for a while—"

Yu Ci's eyes had already softened, and she only looked at him with a slight smile: "I didn't know it was you just now."

Jian Jun slightly opened his mouth and looked at her blankly.Seeing that Yu Ci stretched out her hand to him, she hugged it to her chest.

Yu Ci pulled him to the rockery and tied a dogwood bag to his arm.Then he took the silver plate from Ah Yin, took a piece of Double Ninth Cake with chopsticks and brought it to his mouth, and said with a smile, "May the years be safe and everything will be fine."

Seeing Jun's heart warming, he opened his mouth to accept it.Knowing that he could no longer kiss her casually, he silently avoided Misty's gaze and nodded slightly.
