Shun Anyan thought for a while and said: "The Sixth Princess sometimes comes to Yangxin Hall to pay her respects. As long as you wait, you may be lucky enough to meet her."
"Try your luck?!" Cao Yong twitched the corner of his mouth twice.
Shun Anyan shrugged and said, "If you're not lucky, you won't be able to see it after a month. If you're lucky, you might be able to see it this afternoon."
While they were talking, a Lan Ling guard knocked on the door and said, "Brother Cao is there? There is a palace maid looking for you!"
A mischievous smile suddenly appeared on Shun Anyan's face, and she comforted: "Brother, please be patient, you will be in trouble if the Sixth Princess discovers you."
"I-I don't know any palace maid!" Cao Yong was really unfair.
I heard a soft and clear voice from outside, "This slave is the Sixth Princess's personal maid, Lu Hen. Is Guard Cao here?"
When Cao Yong heard that it was the palace maid next to Yu Ludai, he immediately became happy. He grabbed the fourth-grade lapis lazuli official hat placed on the table and hurriedly said in a loud voice: "Yes! I'll go out right now!" Then he raised his hand to Shun Anyan and said, "It seems that I am very lucky! Thank you Brother Tong for your kind words!" and left without looking back.
Shun Anyan was left standing there blankly.
Within a quarter of an hour, Cao Yong came back happily, holding a small piece of letter paper in his hand. He looked at it and asked: "Brother Tong, do you know where Linxi Pavilion is?"
"Linxi Pavilion?" Shun Anyan was slightly startled and said, "Linxi Pavilion is directly south of Cining Garden."
"Where is the Cining Garden?"
"On the south side of Ciyin Tower."
"Where is Ciyin Tower?"
"To the south of Cining Palace." Shun Anyan replied smoothly. Seeing that Cao Yong wanted to ask again, he asked: "Don't you even know where Cining Palace is?!"
Cao Yong nodded. He had just become an imperial guard. He didn't know what the layout of the palace was like, and he also knew how to get to the guard office and Yangxin Hall.
Shun Anyan could only say: "Do you know the east gate of Yangxin Hall?"
Cao Yong nodded.
"Going out of the east gate of Yangxin Hall, you see Yuehua Gate, so you go south. You see Longzong Gate to the west, so you go west and walk past Longzong Gate, and then you can keep going west. When you see it, you can see Ci Ningmen. Ciningmen is the palace gate of Cining Palace. A hundred steps away to the south is Ciyin Tower. To the south of Ciyin Tower is Cining Garden. After passing through Cining Garden, you can see Linxi Pavilion."
Cao Yong felt a little dizzy and said hurriedly: "Brother Tong, please speak slower..."
Shun Anyan had to repeat it slowly. Cao Yong secretly remembered it in his heart and asked casually: "Isn't there any taboo in Linxi Pavilion?"
Shun Anyan said: "Linxi Pavilion belongs to the former dynasty, so there is no obstruction." There are many places in the palace that cannot be easily set foot, such as the harem, and not all the former dynasty areas can be wandered around casually, as there are some important military aircraft areas. Wenhua Hall, Wuying Hall, Yangxin Hall, etc. are all places that are not allowed to enter unless summoned. As for the Linxi Pavilion, you can tell from its name that it is a place to enjoy the scenery. Shun Anyan said: "It's just that the autumn leaves have fallen now. Where can I be afraid?" It's a bit desolate and desolate, and not many people go there on weekdays." Then he slightly raised his brows and said, "The Sixth Princess has chosen a good place." - A good place for a private tryst!
Cao Yong smiled knowingly, "If you ask from above, just say I'm hungry! Please, Brother Tong!" After saying that, without waiting for Shun Anyan to agree, Cao Yong ran out quickly.
"Alas..." Shun Anyan sighed lowly, the autumn wind was indeed very desolate.
Chengqian Palace.
Wen Xi was busy planting hyacinths into small glass bottles. Seeing Yu Ludai dressed up like a flower, she couldn't help but wonder: "Aren't you going to pay your respects to the Queen Mother? Concubine Xuan is seriously ill, and you are dressed up so beautifully.
I’m not afraid of her being angry!”
Yu Ludai stroked the golden silk phoenix step on her bun, and hurriedly pulled it off. Then she also pulled off the silk flower cinnabar magnolia on her temples, "Is this done?"
Wen Xi glanced at her lightly. There were not many pearls and emeralds on her head, only a pair of emerald sapphire butterfly head flowers were left, and a small and exquisite wishful hairpin. The two heads were horizontally crossed with a jasper butterfly pattern, and a string of green agate hung down on the left and right.
The pearl pendant has a huge golden pearl at the end, and a sleek and straight swallow-tail bun on the back of the head. Her black hair is meticulously combed, with a touch of magnolia elegance. Yu Ludai is wearing a blue embroidery.
The dress has wide sleeves of tapestry brocade with lotus and phoenix patterns. The cuffs and neckline are edged with water-red chrysanthemum patterns. The colors are extremely bright. It is covered with a cloud shoulder with folded branches and wishful patterns. Holding a piece of silk in his hand, he stands in front of Wen Xi.
"It's a little cold outside, Zhu'er, go get that apricot-white cloak." Wen Xi said softly, and then asked: "Go early and come back early."
Yu Ludai put on a plain cloak and responded happily.
Seeing her happily going out, Wenru shook her head helplessly, "She's still so frizzy."
Zhu'er pursed her lips and smiled and said: "Our sixth princess looks better when we wear bright clothes."
Wen Xi just sighed softly and said, "The Queen Mother does not treat Yu Ludai as favorably as before."
Zhu'er also understood the meaning of his master's words and said: "The Queen Mother... is the daughter of Horqin after all. Our princess has the emperor's love and affection, and it is enough to have the master to plan for her!"
"That's all!" Wen Xi said with a look of doting on her face, "Just don't break the rules in front of others. It would be great if this girl could be half as quiet as Qi Buchen."
"Princess Jingshun is naturally quiet, but she is more popular with the Emperor because she is lively and lovely!" Zhu'er smiled, "Besides, the Emperor has already issued an order to revise the jade certificate of the Thirteenth Brother, and the Queen Mother will always remember it.
Well done, Master."
"I hope so." Wen Xi only said this lightly. These days, the clan government has been ordered to modify the birth mother on the thirteenth elder brother's jade certificate, changing it to Xuan Fei Borjijit. Then there is Cao Cao.
The clan was also registered, and the entire clan was carried under the Manchu army flag with a yellow flag. It took a lot of effort. In this way, the Cao clan was no longer the Cao clan, but the Cao Jia clan.
At the gate of Cining Palace, Yu Ludai held Lu Hen's hand and walked out of Cining Gate swiftly on her high flowerpot-soled shoes. She pursed her lips and said, "It's already this time. I don't know if he is."
I'm impatient to wait!" In the past few days, the Queen Mother had only exchanged a few words with her and then left. Unexpectedly, she was left chattering for most of an hour today. Yu Ludai was really impatient, but she couldn't show it.
come out.
Yu Ludai waved his hand to the servants carrying the sedan to go back first, then he put his hand on Lu Hen's hand and hurried southward.
The agreed-upon location, Linxi Pavilion, was still a long way from Cining Gate, and it would take some time to walk there. Yu Ludai walked quickly towards him, but almost bumped into someone, who was also walking from Ciyin Tower.
The secret concubine and her dowry maid Su Qiu came out from the west side.
Yu Ludai looked sideways at Mi Concubine, dressed in a more low-key manner than usual. Full of doubts, he had to curtly say: "Why is Mi Concubine here?"
Tong Mibin was also very surprised when she saw Yuludai in her full dress, but she kept her face calm and returned the favor. Yuludai had been canonized and honored as Princess Gulun. Those below the rank of concubine could not accept her gifts calmly.
, you need to return the courtesy, otherwise it will be a loss of etiquette. Mi Concubine smiled gently and said: "Isn't the princess here too?" Tong Concubine turned around and said: "The golden osmanthus in the south has fallen, there is nothing to see.
."
"Thank you, Empress Tong, for informing me, but I just want to go to Cining Garden." Yuludai said loudly. Yuludai has always disliked concubines of Han origin, so her tone was not very polite, and because of her heart
Anxious, the tone became a little more anxious
The concubine pursed her lips and smiled slightly, then moved out of the way and said: "Princess, please go back quickly. I have to return to the palace first."
Yu Ludai was in a hurry to go to Linxi Pavilion, and had no time to worry about why the concubine appeared here. Today was not the day for the concubine to pay her respects, and there was nothing interesting to see in the Cining Garden, but he was too lazy to think about it, so he just strode there.
.
Su Qiu said doubtfully: "The sixth princess is in such a hurry, as if she is going to see someone."
The concubine's eyes were slanted like autumn water, and she was also very suspicious: "When the sixth princess goes out, she needs ten or eight attendants, but today she only brought a confidant girl with her!" Then she looked at Cining Gate to the north.
Said: "It seems that she just came out of Cining Palace... Concubine Xuan was seriously ill, but she was dressed very gorgeously." As soon as Yu Ludai came out of the gate of Cining Palace, she was wrapped in a gorgeous golden silk phoenix step.
The silk flower hairpin was tied on the head, and the plain cloak was thrown to other palace maids to take back.
Su Qiu said: "No! Could it be that you were scolded by the Queen Mother and came here to cry?"
"No." Mi's concubine's tone was light but extremely determined, "Su Qiu, follow her secretly to see what she does." Mi's concubine only brought two maids, Su Qiu and Su Dong, with her into the palace. Now they are both mothers.
Mom, she is regarded as a confidant by her concubine.
Su Qiu hurriedly responded and followed secretly. Only then did the concubine Shi Shiran return to the palace.
Yu Ludai walked quickly by herself. After all, she was out for a tryst, so she had to be extra careful. She was afraid of being discovered by Wen Xi, and she almost bumped into her concubine. Now she was even more worried about bumping into someone else, so she let go of her mental power.
Scan around. If you don’t scan, you won’t know. If you scan, you will be shocked.
Seeing Yu Ludai suddenly stop, Lu Hen asked doubtfully: "Master, what's wrong?"
Yu Ludai hooked his fingers and motioned for her to come up.
Luhen, named after her mother's surname Shen, has a face, nose, and mouth that are reminiscent of her mother Zhu'er, but her eyebrows are more delicate than her mother's when she was young, so she is also a very lovely girl. She has been following Xiaoxuan since she entered the palace.
Be a personal palace maid beside Yu Ludai.
After listening to Yu Ludai's instructions, Lu Hen hurriedly went to Linxi Pavilion to do some business.
Yu Ludai raised a sarcastic smile at the corner of his mouth, turned around and ran behind the osmanthus tree on the side, hiding sideways. Shaoqing saw Suqiu sneaking next to the concubine and followed her cautiously.
Suqiu is naturally an extremely cautious person, so she has won the trust of her concubines. She walks very lightly, wearing turquoise flat embroidered shoes, and walks like a cat without making any sound. It is a pity that Yuludai does not rely on her ears to sense whether someone is following her.
.
Su Qiu was wondering why the sixth princess disappeared in the blink of an eye, and Yu Ludai rushed out from behind the tree after searching the ground. Su Qiu was shocked and knelt down with a thud, "I pay my respects to the sixth princess!" (To be continued. If
