Poor children

Chapter 87 The Frangipani Flower in My Heart

一
Tian Xing has been handling government affairs in Changping Palace for several days. The emperor of a country has naturally experienced many storms, and naturally people will not see any ups and downs in his mind. However, recently it seems that he is very obsessed with government affairs and diligent. He had to spend a lot of time forgetting to eat and sleep. Mr. Deshun was always a careful person, and he had watched Tianxing grow up since he was a child. I am afraid there is no one in the world who understands Tianxing better than him.
"Xiao Dunzi" Eunuch Deshun saw that Tian Xing was busy and quietly retreated to the outside of Changping Hall and called to the little eunuch who was waiting outside the door.

"Yes, Mr. De" Xiao Dunzi hurriedly came over and lowered his hands to listen to the instructions.
"Hurry up to Ronghua Palace and ask Mrs. Xiao's maid, Miss Xiyun, to come over." Eunuch Deshun ordered.
Xiao Dunzi went on an errand, and Ronghua Palace is the closest to Changping Palace. Don't look at the death of the first queen and the death of heaven, but in fact, the most favored lady in the palace in the northwest is Mrs. Xiao. It is said that people in the Northwest are all tall and powerful, and so are women, but Mrs. Xiao is an exception. Her red lips seem to be smiling but not smiling, her twinkling starry eyes are not speaking, her crescent eyebrows are frowning but not frowning, and her voice is like a yellow warbler. His hands are like peeling onion roots, his body is delicate and his skin is like creamy fat. Since the day Mrs. Xiao entered the palace, he has been highly valued by Tianxing. Therefore, it is convenient for Tianxing to allow her to enter the Ronghua Palace which is the closest to Changping Palace. visit

After a while, Mrs. Xiao got close to her maid, Xiyun, and arrived outside the Changping Hall.
"Mr. De is looking for me?" Xiyun saw that Eunuch Deshun had been standing outside the hall waiting for her, so he quickly saluted and asked.

"Your Majesty has worked too hard in recent days. I'm afraid that he will be injured in the long run. Your Majesty may not listen to what others say. You go back and ask Mrs. Xiao to stew a cup of your favorite gardenia pigeon soup. Your Majesty, this month I didn't go back. I guess if he drank Mrs. Xiao's soup, he would definitely want to go to Ronghua Palace to sit. Mrs. Xiao has always been the most favored by the king. I must ask her to give me more advice when I introduce her." Father-in-law Deshun arrives
Xiyun was a smart man, so he knew what Eunuch Deshun meant, so he saluted and said "yes", and immediately resigned and returned to the palace to prepare.
At dusk, Father Deshun actually delivered dinner an hour earlier than usual.

Tian Xing was also so busy that he got up and went to eat when asked to eat. No matter what time it was, he just sat at the table and still reviewed the memorials.
"Your Majesty, please have a sip of soup." Eunuch Deshun poured a small bowl of soup and brought it to Tian Xing respectfully.
Tian Xing didn't even raise his head, he kept looking at the memorial in his hand. He put the bowl to his mouth and took a sip. After finishing the sip of soup, he saw him put down the memorial in his hand.
"I haven't seen Yu Qian for many days," Tian Xing said to himself.

Eunuch Deshun didn't say anything. He picked some meat from the pigeon in the gardenia pigeon soup made by Mrs. Xiao and put it on a plate. He then placed the plate on the table in front of Tianxing. Tianxing took it. I picked up my chopsticks and took a few bites.
"Deshun" Tianxing said, "What is Mrs. Xiao doing recently?"

"Reporting to your Majesty, in a few days it will be the day of the sacrifice of the late king. Madam Xiao has been in Ronghua Palace this month and seldom goes out. She fasts every day, gets up early to bathe and change clothes, and then copies the "Ksitigarbha Sutra". I heard that You should use gold powder to copy it ninety-nine times 81 times, and when the late king is born, you should offer it on the altar to pray for the late king." Eunuch Deshun replied

"It's hard for her to be so attentive. Yu Qian is meticulous and thoughtful, and she does things properly. During the years when the queen was ill, she has been taking care of the harem, and she has done it in a very orderly manner. Everyone is convinced, and she is very loyal to this king. She is also very attentive. Nothing she does is not in line with the king's wishes. She is the person I rely on and trust the most." Tian Xing drank the soup in the bowl in his hand.
"Your Majesty, the heat of summer is gradually dissipating in the past few days, and it is the time of autumn. Why don't you go out for a walk after dinner? The autumn peonies in Ronghua Palace have begun to bloom, and the scenery is worse than in previous years." Eunuch Deshun pinched some more Put the vegetables in the Tianxing pasta plate

Tianxing looked out the window. The crimson clouds at dusk had dyed all the flowers, plants, trees and stone steps outside the Changping Hall. They were reflected on a frangipani planted in front of the window. The white flowers were dyed red. A hint of charming halo, as moving as the poor boy drinking tea in Tao Yuanju that day, Tian Xing was a little obsessed with it.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty," Eunuch Deshun called him softly, "But you want to go out for a walk?"

"Forget it" Tian Xing sighed, "I won't go. I still have some things to do. I want to rest early today. I want to go to Taixu Taoist Temple tomorrow morning."

Eunuch Deshun just wants Tianxing to have a good rest. Now that he has said he wants to rest early, it doesn't matter where he goes or where he doesn't go.

Ever since the pauper ran into the house angrily yesterday afternoon, she has not been seen out until this evening. She has not responded to anyone who calls her. Lai Bao was also locked outside by her. Lai Bao, who could not go back to the house to sleep, only I was able to sleep in a guest room prepared for pilgrims.

During the day, no one knew what she was doing alone in the house. Only when night fell, they could see what was going on. The poor girl's house was only dimly lit all night long, and when she opened the window, she could only be seen under the light. Threading the needle and thread, there is never a moment of rest

The sun gradually set in the west, and the lamp was lit again in the pauper's house. Just like last night, she was still sitting there doing needlework.
There were four people standing outside the window, looking at the scene inside the house, all of them felt very anxious.

"Whoever made her so angry that she couldn't come out of the house should find a way to get her out." Master Sanyang crossed his hands and put them into the wide sleeves of his Taoist robe. "It's been almost two days, and I haven't eaten or slept. If she is starved, none of you can even think about it!" "When you look at the leader, you always talk like a gangster. How can you have the spirit of the master's uncle?" Tiedan'er arrived.

"You still have the nerve to criticize me! No matter what leader or spirit, they are nothing to me. There is only one disciple in my life who is more important than my life. If my disciple is angry with you, Come anyway, I want to show you what it means to be a gangster." Master Sanyang was so anxious that he jumped up and down like an ignorant shrew.

"Uncle Master! I'm here, I'll find a way, don't worry" Tiedan'er comforted

"I don't worry about you. If it weren't for you, she would just wash clothes at most. Although she ate little, she still ate a lot. Now it's good, she just doesn't come out of the house. I tell you Huang Tiedan, don't think Your master can keep you. You are dressed in fancy clothes all day long, and there are five people and six people. If there is something wrong with the poor boy, you see, I will never end with you."

"Okay, okay, I promise I won't let her have any trouble, okay? Don't be angry. You are not the only one who cares about her. Am I an outsider?" Tiedan'er was quarreled by Master Sanyang. He had a headache. "Chengzhe, Laibao, you send the old Taoist priest back to rest first. It's autumn and it's cold at night. He always stands in this windy place. Be careful that he catches the wind and cold again."

Cheng Zhe and Lai Bao understood this and went to both sides of Master Sanyang, one on the left and one on the right. One of them raised an arm to support him.
"What do you two little bastards want to do? If my disciple doesn't come out, I will stay here and not go anywhere."

"Old Taoist Master, please go back and rest first. I will bring you your favorite honeydew melon tomorrow." Chengzhe coaxed him.

"I don't want it, I won't eat it"

"Are you going back or not?" Laibao asked, holding Sanyang Zhenren's arm tightly. "Anyway, I haven't slept very well in the guest room these past few days. I don't know if I got sleepwalking in the middle of the night. Be careful." I sleepwalked into your quiet room in the middle of the night and cut your beard."

"you!"

Chengzhe and Laibao coaxed and threatened Master Sanyang back to his quiet room to rest.

"They are all gone." Tiedan'er moved a long board and sat under the window. "I know there are many things in your heart that are irritating. Yesterday's temper may not have been directed at me. You and I grew up together. Is there anything you can’t tell me? Am I acting as a brother for nothing? I will sit here and wait for you until you want to come out, and wait for you to say all the things that are suppressed in your heart."

When the poor boy heard this, he stopped sewing and sat quietly for a moment before starting to sew again.

Tiedan'er didn't say anything anymore and just sat under the window to accompany him.
