[Qing Chuan] No pet little promise

Wei Rong couldn't dodge in time, she staggered.

Accompanied by exclamations from all around, Shi Changzai next to him was bumped by her, and fell directly on the tea table on the left.

Several teacups were knocked over, hot tea poured down, and stones were spilled on half of the skirt.

The maid quickly supported her.

Shi Changzai stood firm, with an angry face, staring at Wei Rong.

Wei Rong immediately said: "I'm sorry Shi Chang is here, but someone pushed me and I couldn't hold back." While speaking, she turned her head to look at the little palace lady walking behind her.

I remember that she is Li Jiagui's personal maid.

Li Jiagui frowned and scolded: "What did Wei promise you to talk nonsense? Hui Xin has always been stable, how could he push you."

Wei Rong smiled, "The nobleman is too impatient, I haven't said that Huixin did it."

Li Jiagui sneered: "You are eloquent, and you are used to provoking people. You obviously walked unsteadily and bumped into Shi Changzai, but you like to blame others."

He said again, "You said Hui Xin pushed you, but did someone see it?"

As he said that, he glanced coldly at the people behind him, and Dou Changzai unconsciously averted his eyes.Song Qing'er wanted to speak, but faced with Shang Shi's angry expression, she didn't dare to say anything.

Wei Rong's heart was slightly cold.

Chen promised: "The stage is crowded, and pushing and shoving is normal. Wei promised it was not intentional, why should Mrs. Li Jia be aggressive."

Li Jiagui sneered: "Pushing is one thing, but it is another thing to damage Shi Changzai's skirt. This skirt is the moonlight satin specially awarded by Concubine Hui a few days ago, from Haizhou. Tribute. There are not a few pieces of material to be found in the whole palace."

Two little maids bent over to tidy up Shi Chang's skirts. The tea leaves were cleaned up, but the tea fell on the light pink moonlight satin, and there was a big stain.

Shi Chang raised his head with a cold face, stared at Wei Rong and spat, "Don't you have eyes, you poor maid who deserves to have her hands cut off?"

Wei Rong never expected that there would be such a scene of shrews swearing at the street, and she blushed immediately.

Later, Dou Changzai also showed surprise on everyone's face. The concubines are all from the family background, so it is unheard of for them to speak such evil words.

On the contrary, the people of Yanxi Palace took it for granted, it seemed that Shi Xu promised to behave like this in private.

Shi Chang cursed a few words with a cold face, until the little eunuch who sent the message said anxiously: "My lords, the emperor and concubine Hui are still waiting."

Shi promised to stop it, and asked, "How do you pay for staining my skirt today?"

Wei Rong only felt that her chest was congested, and she tried her best to comfort herself so that she did not lose her composure.

She said in a deep voice, "What does Shi Changzai think?"

"If it was normal, you would have to kowtow to make amends. It's just that I can't let the emperor and empress wait for a long time today. It's cheaper for you. I will wash my skirt and clean it, and then I will forgive you."

Song Qinger and the others quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Wei Rong lowered her head and didn't speak, she was treating her like a slave.

Surrounded by a few young maids, Shi promised to go to the back of the screen, and hastily changed the skirt.Then Shi promised to throw the wet skirt on Wei Rong's body, and said sharply: "I haven't finished it when I get back, I'll make you, a bitch, look good!"

He said without turning his head, and walked away with the people arrogantly.

Wei Rong's face was flushed red, anger and grievance came up one after another, and she almost shed tears.

Song Qing'er and the others looked at her sympathetically, but they could only follow the pace of the crowd and hurried downstairs.

Soon, Wei Rong was the only one left upstairs.

She stood for a while before she slowly calmed down.

Wei Rong understands that Shi promised to be favored for so long, he is definitely not a fool, it is impossible not to see the mystery inside.

It's just that Mrs. Li Jia is in the limelight, and she is the one Concubine Hui wants to win over, so it's not easy to offend.Then I can only let myself, my unlucky little promise, take the blame.

With a wry smile, sure enough, in this palace, to be unfavored is to be lowly!

Recalling the famous lines of the womb fighting drama of the previous generation, facing the empty attic, she whispered, "Forget it, it's just fine if you don't go, anyway, I don't want to kowtow to Concubine Hui, this palace is about to turn into a bird." Kowtowing."

After using the Ah Q victory method handed down by Mr. Lu Xun, Wei Rong calmed down a little.

She looked down at the skirt in her hand, raised her head and asked, "Where are you going to dry it?"

Upstairs there was only one little palace lady who shrank back, and she quickly replied: "There is clear water and a copper stove in the side hall at the back." While talking, she led Wei Rong down the theater building.

Pass through the corridor and enter a side hall in the east side hall of Yanxi Palace. There are indeed tables, chairs and a burning copper stove in the room.The little maid brought another basin of clear water and put it down.

What was contaminated was clear tea, and Wei Rong took it out after soaking it for a while.

Dyeing technology is limited these days. Although the fabric is gorgeous and delicate, it cannot be fixed, so it cannot be washed too much.In particular, the workmanship of this skirt is very exquisite, with many patterns of rice beads patchwork on it.

The clothes were wrung out, and all that was left was to smoke the skirt to dry by the copper stove.

She asked the little maid to step back, and she shook off the hem of her skirt, approaching the copper furnace.

Just about to smoke and roast, suddenly the end of the nose was itchy, and I sneezed several times in succession.

Her heart moved, her body was a little allergic, and the air was slightly turbid, even if she couldn't smell it, she would still react.

There were no strange flowers and incense placed in the room, and the windows were closed. Wei Rong looked around and his eyes fell on the copper stove in front of him.

She bent down to open the lid of the copper stove, and a thick black smoke billowed up.

Wei Rong immediately put down the cover, and took two steps back, showing a look of shock.

There is a choking smell in the black smoke, which is definitely not ordinary charcoal.

Standing in the room, Wei Rong's hands trembled slightly.

If it was the sadness and resentment of being humiliated before, then now, there is only endless anger in her heart.

The charcoal fire was obviously added with ingredients. If I didn't realize it and continued to smoke the skirt, the skirt would probably be scrapped.

Yi Shi's unrelenting temperament of agreeing to gain power does not know what will happen.I'm afraid it's possible to rush up and fight.

Since she came here, she has kept herself safe and never offended anyone.Mrs. Li Jia liked to gossip before, but she was only angry because she was jealous of Xi Concubine's promotion of these newcomers.

Now that she has become favored by relying on intrigues and tricks, and the newcomer herself is still an unfavored little promise, but she still wants to kill them all. Where is the enmity, where is the hatred?

Wei Rong clenched her long skirt tightly, hating it to the bone.

At that moment, a thought really popped up.

It's better to promise Xi Concubine and use her strength to win a good favor.

At least Li Jiagui should be trampled under his feet.

She stood holding her wet long skirt for a long time before she walked out of her resentment.

The most urgent task now is to dry the clothes now.

Since the copper stove can't be used, why not... Wei Rong cast his gaze out of the window.

In the late autumn weather, the sun was very bright. She remembered that on the way here, there was a corner of an attic with glazed tiles on the side, which reflected the sunlight very dazzlingly.

It is a good place to dry clothes.

She immediately left the room and walked along the corridor to the corner.

The morning sun was just right, shining on the fine tiles under the handrail, coupled with the reflection of the glazed tiles next to it, the light was dazzling.

Wei Rong spread out the skirt on the tiles, and went back to the room to get a mirror, and used the mirror to reflect the light again.

This is the palace room where sundries are stored in the Palace of Yanxi Palace, and all the palace people have been dispatched to help in the theater building behind.

Wei Rong held up the mirror for a while, feeling tired and flustered, but seeing no one around, she simply turned over and got out of the railing, sat on the armrest, and put the mirror on her knees.

The sunshine in late autumn is particularly warm, and the whole person is warm when it shines on the body.How long has it been since I basked in the sun so comfortably?

As if sitting in the study room of the university in the previous life, the sun shines through the large glass windows, making people feel comfortable.

Under such a warm and genial light, the originally dark and resentful emotions gradually dissipated.

In the distance, the singing on the stage is still loud and vivid, but listening to it in this lonely place has a special flavor.

Do you want to join Xi concubine for favor?

For someone like Li Jiagui, you have to change your life and habits, and get involved in this quagmire, is it worth it?

She raised her head, letting the light shine on her face.

At this moment, all the emperors, concubines, and the Qing court were gone, and she only felt that she was still the one sitting in the sun, carrying the final exam questions with a headache.

She laughed.

"Fourth brother, what are you looking at?" The prince approached the window and patted Yinzhen on the shoulder.

Yinzhen woke up suddenly, took a step back, and said respectfully, "Prince."

The prince looked out the window, raised his eyebrows, "Hey, it's a little maid, ah, she's so naughty, she ran to the top of the attic." This is too bold, this is the birthday of Concubine Hui, So unruly.

He put one hand on his forehead, looked carefully, and said in surprise, "It doesn't look like a maid in the clothes, so she must be a newcomer in some palace." It's really daring to climb such a high wall. Not afraid to fall off.

The distance is far away, so I can't see the face clearly, but I can vaguely see the slim and delicate figure. The palace attire and the jewels on the head all show that the other party is not an ordinary little palace lady.

The prince shook his head, this kind of behavior, the little maid can still say naughty, if it is the master, it is even more inappropriate.

But...it's interesting.

Especially that girl was smiling, the sunlight at the corner was extraordinarily bright, shining on her, as if her whole body was glowing.

Those stretches of pavilions and pavilions have become the simple and faded background, making this light and lively figure surpass all the ancient vicissitudes and become extremely vivid.

"What a beauty!" The prince became interested and wanted to get closer to the window for a closer look.

Yinzhen reminded inappropriately: "His Royal Highness, Manager Liang is here."

The prince could only look back regretfully, and turned to go forward.

Yinzhen took one last look at the figure on the top of the attic, and closed the window firmly.

Follow the prince to the front hall.

They also came here to celebrate Concubine Hui's birthday today.Coincidentally, when they came, a group of concubines went in. It was inconvenient for them to squeeze in, so they simply came here to rest in the side hall first. They did not expect to see such a vivid painting from the corner window.

On the way to the main hall.Yinzhen was at the end, and he couldn't help but look up in that direction.

Across many palaces, he could no longer see the girl's figure, but everything seemed clearly in front of him.

But with an inadvertent glance through the window, I can't look away anymore.

Yinzhen didn't notice the girl's identity, but was only amazed by that bright smile.

That seems to be integrated into the light, which is so bright that it makes people's heart beat.

just,

The girl smiled, but there seemed to be a little light in the corner of her eye.

Is she crying?

Is that sunny smile also with tears?

He lowered his eyes, there are so many people in this palace who want to cry but can only smile obediently...
