The Biography of Concubine Xi of Yongzheng

Chapter 72
In late October, the weather suddenly became bad, and it rained several times in succession. Looking at the continuous rain, Fujin sighed all day long.She was only afraid that the weather would not be beautiful, and if she continued to do so on Yinzhen's birthday, then holding a birthday banquet would not be as convenient as it would be on a sunny day.

So when she went to the Buddhist hall recently, every time she had to pray to the Buddha to make the weather clearer soon.

Early this morning, the sky cleared up.Even the cold air was much fresher. When Fujin woke up in the morning and saw the bright morning light, he showed a gratified smile, only thinking that his prayers had come true, and that he would worship the Buddha more devoutly in the future.

Seeing that the weather is getting better today, Mrs. Wu followed Yan Hua to the study room after greeting her.

Ying Xiu turned her head and saw Wu's master and servant following far behind, she couldn't help being a little surprised: "Ge Ge, what are they doing? Are they going to find Lord Belle? Didn't Fujin say something? If she doesn't memorize those rules , don’t go to Lord Baylor.”

Yan Hua glanced back, and said calmly: "Maybe she wants to create a chance to meet him by chance."

Sure enough, when Mrs. Wu was about to reach the study, she only found a conspicuous place to stay, and let Zi Yan quietly guard not far from the study, observing the movement in the study, and became in a hurry when Yin Zhen came out. Let her know.

It's just that Wu's temperament is irritable, and after waiting for a long time when Zi Yan came back to remind him, he couldn't hold his breath anymore.

She looked around and saw that no one was there, so she groped in the direction of the study furtively.But she was afraid that people would see that she came here on purpose, so she had no choice but to lower her body and move over there secretly.

"Who is it?" A guard guarding not far from the study saw a living thing moving among the bushes, and shouted suddenly, full of anger, and was so shocked that half of Wu's life suddenly disappeared. He sat down on the ground.

When the guard came striding over, seeing that it was Mrs. Wu, he hurriedly lowered his head and lowered his eyes, and only bowed expressionlessly: "I don't know it's Ge Ge, please forgive me!"

Wu Shi looked at his appearance, but he didn't get angry.She felt guilty in her heart, afraid that Yinzhen would know that she had come here secretly, so she whispered softly, "Get back, I... I just saw a cat passing by... Seeing that it was so funny, I went to see it." ...then I came after it..."

After Ziyan noticed the commotion here, she hurried over and saw Wu Shi fell to the ground, she was so startled that she hurried forward to help her.

Wu slapped her on the forehead angrily: "If you tell me to catch a cat, you won't be able to catch it, which made me fall, hum!"

"Cat? Check me..." Ziyan felt aggrieved after being hit for no reason, and couldn't understand what Wu was talking about, so she almost slipped her mouth.But seeing Wu Shi secretly winking, although she couldn't understand what was going on, she still kept her mouth shut with tears in her eyes, and followed Wu Shi out of here silently.

"What's the matter with you! I told you to stare at the study, and you didn't know what happened when you came back and told me for a long time? You told me to wait there by myself. If they saw it, what a joke I would make! " Wu's heart was angry, and without waiting for Zi Yan's explanation, he just scolded his head and covered his face.

Zi Yan held back tears for a long time, but now she couldn't hold back her tears, and finally rolled down.

"Cry, cry, cry! I know how to cry! I knew I shouldn't have brought you here! I can't come up with any ideas!" Wu Shi was upset, poked her forehead with his fingers, and rolled his eyes angrily.

"Gege... slave... slave was stopped by the guards just now... couldn't get away... and couldn't get close to see what's going on in the study..."

Since that night, when Wei Changan noticed that someone was spying on Yinzhen's whereabouts, he sent additional people to watch out for movements around him.So this time, even though Zi Yan wanted to approach the study openly, she was stopped by the guards and asked a few words.After all, she followed Wu Shixin to the mansion not long ago, so the guard didn't recognize her.

Ziyan already had a ghost in her heart, and she was not smart enough, so even though the guard asked her the most common questions, she stumbled on the answers.

Fortunately, there was some movement from Mrs. Wu, she whispered: "Ge Ge!" Then she hurried over, and the guard who questioned her just now didn't chase after her to continue questioning.

"Hmph! Useless things!" Seeing that this method didn't work, Mrs. Wu felt annoyed, scolded Zi Yan a few words, and then turned to leave.

"Gege! Are you going back now? Why don't you just walk around here, maybe Lord Baylor will pass by here..." Zi Yan was used to being scolded by Mrs. Wu, and she knew her temperament well, so she quickly Wiped away the tears.

"What if he doesn't pass by? How long will I have to spend here!" Wu suffocated in his heart for several days, with nowhere to vent his anger, feeling extremely uncomfortable.

"But... Baylor's birthday is coming soon, he always has to go to the Hall of Harmony to talk to Fujin about holding the birthday banquet...Gege will give it a try anyway, after all, there will be nothing important except for the endorsement... "

Wu Shi felt that there was some truth to it, so he squinted his eyes and smiled: "You have suddenly become smarter now, well, let's go to the rockery over there and have a sit."

That rockery was the place where Cianfujin Li Shi chatted with her maidservant Soyue a few days ago, and Yanhua accidentally overheard what they said that day.

After Wu walked to the rockery, he followed the lower part of the study and saw that he could vaguely see the pillars in front of the study. He was overjoyed and praised Zi Yan: "This place is really good. You can see it in the future." If you are as smart as today, I won't scold you anymore. Just keep an eye on me, and if you see Master Baylor coming out, let me know."

After she finished speaking, she strolled slowly around the pool beside the rockery, only staring at the water lily leaves in the pool, occasionally seeing a few koi swimming among the stems of the water lilies, and the irritability in her heart gradually disappeared. subsided.

It's just that it has rained several times in a row in recent days, and the water in the pond has deepened a lot.In addition, the stones by the pool were slippery, Wu accidentally slipped and fell, and then fell into the pool with a "plop".She couldn't swim either, so her face turned green with fright, and she called for help.

Zi Yan was staring intently at the study room, and after hearing such a loud noise, she quickly followed the sound.Seeing this, she was so frightened that her legs almost went limp, and she hurriedly exclaimed: "Help! Gege fell into the water! Someone, help!"

Ziyan also doesn't know how to water, and when she hurried to the pool, she didn't see anything like a bamboo pole, so she had to lie on the side of the pool and fish.

The water in the pool wasn't that deep at all, it was about as deep as his chest.It's just that Wu's family doesn't know how to swim, and after falling, he jumped up anxiously, and instead jumped to a place where the water was deeper.

After hearing the movement here, the guard hurried over.

Seeing someone coming, Zi Yan remembered crying: "Quickly save Gege, quickly save Gege!"

In the study room, after Yanhua had studied the ink, she spread out the paper on another table and copied the scripture that Fujin had asked her to read.As soon as he copied half a piece of paper, he saw guards running away in a hurry outside, and guards muttering something to Wei Chang'an.

Yinzhen was watching Yanhua's writing, and when he noticed the movement outside, he raised his eyes and called out: "Wei Chang'an! What's going on, and you're making such a fuss?"

Wei Changan walked in when he heard the call: "Master Baylor, someone fell into the water on the rockery, it seems to be Xin Gege."

"Go and see what's going on, if it's all right, bring her here." Yinzhen frowned, walked to the door of the study with displeasure and looked at the rockery.

"twitter!"

"Ah! Fell into the water? It's been very cold these days, we should send someone to bring Dr. Liu into the mansion earlier!" After hearing this, Yanhua stopped writing and followed to the door of the study.

"Yeah, that's fine." He glanced at Yanhua with a smile, "It's still Chanchan who is thoughtful."

The corners of Yanhua's mouth twitched, every time she heard Yinzhen calling her Chanchan, she felt something was wrong.Because when Yinzhen called her Chanchan, he always had a smile in his words, which was quite different from his usual way of speaking!So it doesn't seem so normal.

Wu Shi was helped by Zi Yan and another maidservant, coughing all the way to the study, his whole body trembling from the cold.

Right now, the clothes are sticking to her body wetly, her hair is in a mess, and the makeup on her face is also smeared. She is so embarrassed that she just wants to hurry back to Jinxiu Xuan because she is ashamed to see people.But when Yinzhen asked her to come over, she had no choice but to come over.

Yinzhen saw her appearance, and frowned even deeper: "How did you fall into the pool when you were doing well? How could you be so careless."

Wu Shi was also extremely wronged, but now when she heard Yinzhen talking to her, there was still a hint of concern in her words, she was moved in her heart, and raised her eyes to meet those cold eyes.His handsome face was deeply burned into her heart like that, and those cold eyes seemed to have extremely magical power, attracting her so firmly that she couldn't move her eyes even a little bit.

However, what he said next made her feel unprecedentedly sad.

His eyes were still light, and there was no trace of tenderness on his face: "I asked you to memorize the rules of the mansion for Fujin, but you have memorized them? I said, come to see me after you have memorized everything. But you still have time to wander around, it seems that you are not in a hurry to see me. You don't have to participate in the birthday banquet in a few days, so you can just recite it in your room."

After he finished speaking, he waved his hand and asked Liangchen to send someone to send Wu Shi back to Jinxiuxuan.

It was not easy for the Wu family to meet Yinzhen, and seeing that he was so handsome and elegant, he was very happy in his heart.But seeing that he was so indifferent all of a sudden, he thought it was the matter of consonance that made him miss it so far, so he gave Yan Hua a hard look, then bit his lip and slowly backed out.

Yanhua was stunned for a while by the hatred in her eyes, and it took her a while to recover.When she raised her eyes, she suddenly met Yinzhen's probing eyes, and felt all sorts of feelings in her heart for a moment, thinking that if she married him, she would never be able to find peace.She was about to turn around embarrassingly, and go back to continue writing, but he hugged her waist with his long arms...
