Two hundred and two playmates
Hu Rong stood by the door without moving for a while, and did not make a sound. (Pinshu¥¥)!
Fang Shanggong asked him: "Where are you coming from? Why do you look bad?"
Hu Rong came back to his senses and touched his face: "It's too cold outside, I don't know. I feel much colder today than in previous years. Your legs hurt a lot today, right?"
Fang Shanggong saw that Hu Rong had something to do, and he was a little uneasy at first. He asked him to sit down and sat down. He picked him up and finished drinking the tea. The tea was just brewed and it was hot when he touched it. He actually drank it like this, and after drinking it, it didn't seem to feel hot.
However, after saying a few words, he looked at Hu Rong's expression and gaze seemed much more normal. After saying a few words, he didn't stay much. After all, Hu Rong is very busy all day long and rarely has the time to take a break.
Hu Rong couldn't tell the feeling in his heart. He originally wanted to find Qingmei to ask clearly immediately.
Ask her if she was interested in him, ask her if she planned to find a way out of the palace in a few years, ask her...
But when he saw her, Hu Rong couldn't even ask another word.
Whether it was Fang Shanggong or Qingmei, he felt strangely calm when he saw them. These two people were good to him, and no one in the palace treated him like they did. Fang Shanggong taught him a lot of skills to settle down in the palace. Qingmei never cared about him, and helped him do this and that. His current socks, insoles, purses, and jackets were coaxed by Qingmei, and he asked Qingmei to help him do it.
He knows more clearly what kind of person Qingmei is than others.
It would be impossible to say that she intended to lie to him. It was obvious that Qingmei got along with him because he had been coaxing her to get close to her.
Besides, Qingmei's temper and personality make her fight with others, how can she have that ability?
It must be Qinghe who saw something, so he asked him to let him get out of trouble.
Eunuch, he is just a eunuch. He can't be a normal couple with Qingmei, nor can he marry her openly, and he doesn't even have a title. The palace maid and eunuch paired up to eat cannot be spread under the sun, just like a thief. If no one reported it, it will be fine. If it falls into the eyes of someone, he will harm others and himself. If the incident happens, it will not only harm both of them, but also affect the master.
Hu Rong even thought of those people who would rely on lawless rumors. Those people were so jealous of Yong'an Palace that dirty water would spill over one pot after another, and even jump into the Yellow River could not wash it clearly. Maybe they would say that the imperial concubine could not stand loneliness in her youth, and she had already had any scandals with the young eunuchs in the palace.
The cold wind blew on his face, and Hu Rong shivered.
He can't do such a foolish thing.
There is no such thing as Eunuch Bai and Eunuch Zhou. Don’t they want to? No, Hu Rong is a eunuch, and he also knows what eunuchs think. Even if they cut it, they still long for women and desire to have a warmth in this palace.
But they can all bear it and will not take this wrong step.
I have only lived a few good days and am so gloomy and forgetful?
If he had just entered the palace, would he have such bold and delusions?
No, at that time, he thought about how to survive, how to eat enough, and how to curry favor with the eunuch and take a good job.
It was the master who gave him the power and wealth he now, but after a few days of good life, he was going to cause trouble for his master.
Hu Rong stood there for a while, feeling happy, worried, and ashamed.
He had no relatives outside the palace. If you want to say who is closer to him now, that is, Fang Shanggong and Qingmei. And the master, who is kind to others and has kindness to him, he cannot drag all these people into the water and harm them.
It was not until the eldest prince opened the window and called him that Hu Rong came to his senses, quickly changed his face, and happily met him.
After Qinghe and Hu Rong said that, she felt uneasy and thought that there was something inappropriate about what he said. Hu Rong was not stupid, and he must have understood what he said. But would he be angry and do something stupid? Or would he be deeply trapped in the mud and unable to turn back, and he still refused to repent?
She was uneasy for several days, staring at Qingmei and Hu Rong on the outside and secretly. She and Qingmei lived in the same room, and it was very convenient to pay attention to Qingmei's behavior and movement. The Yong'an Palace is very large, and they are the master's great palace maids whom they rely on, so they can live in one room. However, they have lived together since the past. In winter, they can save charcoal and discuss with each other to take care of each other. However, they rarely spend the night in the house because one of them must have a night in the master's house.
After observing for a few days, I didn't find anything unusual about Qingmei. She is different from Hu Rong. Qingmei can't hide her worries. If there is anything in her mind, she will definitely see it on her face. But it seems that Qingmei is as usual. She also brought back a needle and thread box made of bamboo, saying that Hu Rong asked someone to bring it to her from outside, and to thank her for help, insoles and socks.
Qinghe also took this needle and thread box and looked at it carefully. There was nothing wrong with it. It was just an ordinary needle box. It was divided into three grids. The middle one was a spool. On the side, there were two small grids with needles inserted. On top was a set of eight needles, and on the other side were small tweezers, thimbles, etc. for needles. The box was carved from bamboo, with bright peony patterns painted on the top, and varnished on the outside. It was beautiful and beautiful, but it would not become a token or a handle.
It seems that Hu Rong retreated from the difficulties?
Xie Ning was in a good mood these two days. The emperor told him that the Ministry of Revenue has been passed on, and Lin Boju's official position has been finalized. He is the Minister of Revenue, and he will take office after the New Year. Another thing is that the New Year's Day is arranged very smoothly, and the tribute has been sent. Zhou Bingchen and Hu Rong have personally watched it, and nothing goes wrong. Xie Ning Buqu will do such a big thing in the first year, and everyone will remember her. She thinks that as long as she doesn't make any mistakes, it will be a great success.
The emperor comforted her that it was nothing to make a small mistake. Who in this world can do it without mistakes? Even a saint cannot guarantee that everything he does in his life is perfect and people who cannot find fault. Others also know that the imperial concubine has just taken over the palace affairs and will tolerate any omissions.
Xie Ning knew that the emperor said that to make her happy.
Indeed, it is not unreasonable for her to make a small mistake. But you should know that the small things for her are not trivial things for the people who receive the reward. If you reward something wrong, others may not think that the imperial concubine made a mistake at the first time, but will wonder in fear whether this was a hint given by the palace, whether it was dissatisfaction with their family, and it may lead to a big disaster.
After receiving her New Year's gift, Princess Mingwei specially went to the palace to thank her. Among the rewards she gave was a string of pearls. Princess Mingwei specially wore the pearls to the palace. The bead chains were of course good, but Princess Mingwei was not without a better jewelry than this. The reason why she wore it like this was actually to support Xie Ning, and to block others' mouths. After Princess Mingshou's rebellion, the number of guests at Princess Mingwei's house dropped sharply. In previous years, she had to hold a gathering from time to time and invited many ladies and ladies from the capital to sit. Princess Qiao was also treated coldly for a while. People were careful to observe and maintain a safe distance.
There was a funeral in the palace, and it was not organized even when the Mid-Autumn Festival and Double Ninth Festival was held. Princess Mingwei just wanted to take the opportunity to show off and let others dispel their suspicions.
However, the New Year's banquet must be held in a big way. Princess Mingwei came at this time and also wanted to have a relationship with Xie Ningla again.
Princess Mingwei brought her daughter Shutang into the palace together. Qiao Shutang is quite good-natured, very straightforward and loves to laugh. Xie Ning likes this little girl very much. Although she has never dealt with Prince Qiao, you can see Prince Qiao’s spirit from Qiao Shutang. It is said that he is a good old man who can get along with anyone.
Xie Ning was also very happy. When Qiao Shutang came, Yu Yao finally had a playmate. Qiao Shutang was easy-going and could complement Yu Yao.
Judging from Princess Mingwei's meaning, when Princess Yuyao mainly chooses a companion to study, Qiao Shutang must be the first choice.
Princess Mingwei has taken great pains to make her children's future.
Princess Mingwei helped Xie Ning with many ideas, such as how to arrange the fireworks and when to set off, how to arrange the guests' list, who has a marriage with whom, who has a feud with whom, Fang Shanggong and Zhou Bingchen knew about these things, and they didn't know about them, which can show that Princess Wei really had a wide range of friendship and helped Xie Ning a lot.
At noon, the eldest prince came back from school and brought Qiao Shuying back along the way. Yong'an Palace was rarely so lively during lunch. This was Xie Ning with three children, and there was Princess Mingwei with a son and a daughter. There was a hot pot in the middle, and the hot soup was gushing with soup, and the mat was decorated with delicious food. Princess Mingwei's witty words were like pearls, so there was no cold spot on the mat.
The eldest prince ate about the same food as usual, but he drank all the hot soup he scooped him. The soup was filled with mushrooms, ham and other foods. It tasted very delicious and was warm and nourishing in winter. Princess Yuyao ate more than usual, most of the time it was because she had a playmate today and her appetite seemed better than usual.
It seems that maybe she should have found a few playmates earlier. After the Chinese New Year, let’s see two younger palace maids to serve. The best one is to be more lively and be able to talk and play with her. But the palace maids are slaves after all, and if they really get along well with her, they still have to find a lady with the status of Qiao Shuying.
