The Biography of Concubine Xi of Yongzheng

Chapter 77
After Yanhua walked into the Yonghua Palace, her eyes were full of brilliance, and she was both surprised and happy.

I saw that the hall was almost full of red candles, leaving only one passage on the ground, and beside the road was bright candlelight flickering slowly.The red candles were covered with fragrant chrysanthemums and plum blossoms, red ones, yellow ones and white ones, dotted among the slightly swaying candlelight, which made her feel indescribably shocked and moved.

There was a box at the end of the path led by the red candle. With tears in her eyes, Yan Hua muttered to herself, "Is there something for me in there? But... I haven't told him what I want yet." ..."

The blush on her face was reflected by the flickering candlelight, shining brightly, showing a bright and charming posture.

She walked for a while, then looked back and forgot.Yingxiu and the others are at the beginning of the red candle, looking at her with smiles.Yan Hua's face became hot, and she walked forward slowly: "It's really a waste of money, such a beautiful flower was just broken, hum!" She was talking to herself, her words were full of coquettish anger.Even though she said so, she was very happy in her heart.

So many burning red candles made the hall much warmer, and the air was filled with the warm fragrance of flowers, making people seem to smell the smell of happiness.

Yanhua caressed the throbbing heartbeat in her chest, her eyes only stared at the box sitting on the petals.

What will be inside?Hairpin?Jade bracelet?Or earrings?

She walked closer and closer, looking at the box about one foot long and half a foot wide, happily guessing what would be inside.When she finally finished walking the path led by the red candle, she slowly squatted down and stretched out her slender little hand.At this moment, she was quite nervous, as if it contained the happiness of her life.

After hesitating for a while, she stretched out her other hand, picked up the box with both hands and shook it, it was a little heavy, and she couldn't hear the movement inside.She put down the box apprehensively, and opened it with trembling hands.

This is the first time Yinzhen sent something to her, seeing him send someone to decorate the place so beautifully, he was really interested.Yan Hua carefully opened the box, and after seeing the contents inside, she couldn't help feeling depressed, her face turned red for a while, turned white for a while, turned green for a while, so lively!
Where is the hairpin jade bracelet in there, what is inside is the inkstone in his study room!The inkstone she used to grind ink every day!
Yanhua looked back slightly annoyed, because they were far away, Yingxiu and the others thought she was overjoyed and wanted to talk to them.

She muttered, bit her lower lip lightly, and took the pine flower inkstone in her hand. "Huh?" At this time, she found that there was a piece of paper under the inkstone, with two lines written on it, she hurriedly picked up the piece of paper and read it carefully:
"Study hard and write more. Chanchan, I grant you a wish. Tell me when you think about it." The signature is Yinzhen.

Yan Hua stared blankly at his vigorous and handsome words, and after a while, the corners of her mouth curled up happily.She carefully folded the piece of paper and stuck it to her chest like a treasure.

"Gege, come over here and take a look!" Liang Chen waited for a long time, saw that she finally opened the box and took the contents inside, hurriedly beckoned her over.

When Yingxiu and Lingxi saw her coming out with an inkstone in her hand, they both had doubts on their faces: "Ge Ge, this is..."

"He gave it to me." Yan Hua grinned and handed the inkstone to Ying Xiu.

Lingxi murmured dissatisfiedly: "Why did Lord Baylor give you an inkstone! He gave other Ge Ge all jade bracelets and jade hairpins. It's unfair to be so eccentric! Hmph!"

Yan Hua laughed straight at her angry look, then mysteriously took out the piece of paper, and waved it proudly in front of Lingxi: "Is there a gift here? Hehe..."

"Huh? What's that? Gege, could it be that Lord Belle also wrote you a poem?" Lingxi looked at it curiously, but Yanhua didn't spread the paper out, so she couldn't see what was written inside. something happened.Guessing it was another poem, she curled her lips in dissatisfaction, "The Laoshizi poems can only be read and not used. I really don't understand why Brother Thirteen and Lord Belle like to give these things to others."

"You don't understand now." Yanhua smiled, did not elaborate on the content on the paper, just put the paper away like a treasure, "Liangchen, what did you ask me to come over to see?"

Only then did everyone remember what happened just now, and hurriedly pointed Yan Hua to look at those red candles: "Look quickly, these red candles are arranged like a single word."

"Oh?" Yan Hua looked at those red candles curiously, because she was short, half a head shorter than Ying Xiu and the others, so she stretched her neck and looked for a while before she saw the doorway.Those red candles with flowers form the characters, isn't it just a "Chan" character?On the left side of the trail is a woman, and on the right side is a single, which together form the Chinese character Chan.

Yan Hua was so happy in her heart that her whole face was flushed with red light.

"Gege, just sit here for a while, Lord Belle said he would come over." Liang Chen led Yanhua in, brought a few plates of snacks, and brought a little soup lady over to cover her hands.

Yanhua couldn't help but nodded obediently.

It's just that this wait is an hour.She waited from the beginning of Xu Shi until the beginning of Hai Shi, and when she was drowsy and sleepy through the autumn water, Liang Chen rushed back from outside in a hurry.

Liang Chen just saw that Yan Hua had waited too long, and felt a little puzzled, so he frowned and said to go to the main hall to see the situation.When I came back now, my face was a little purple from the cold.

She crossed her hands and said apologetically to Yan Hua: "Ge Ge go back first, Mr. Belle probably drank too much, he has already rested in the study, and he probably won't come back here today." It’s late at night and it’s very cold, Ge Ge will only freeze if she waits here, so it’s better to go back and have a rest.”

The joy in Yanhua's heart has naturally settled in the bottom of her heart during this hour.She remembered how the tenth elder brother and the thirteenth elder brother drank like that, and guessed that Yinzhen must have been drunk a lot, so she nodded when she heard Liang Chen's words.

Ying Xiu hurriedly put on the cloak she was carrying in her hand, and Yan Hua left Yonghua Palace after resigning from the good time.

After walking out for a while, she was thinking about Yinzhen all night, so she wanted to go to the study again: "Let me go and see, he probably slept in the study because he drank too much and felt very uncomfortable."

Lingxi went back to Wanfu Pavilion first, she wanted to warm up the room first, lest Yanhua would still be cold in the room when she went back.

Yingxiu accompanied Yanhua to the study, the cold wind at night was a bit biting, and it rang "huhu" in her ears.

As soon as Yan Hua walked outside the study, she was stopped by Wei Chang'an: "Ge Ge, it's so late, please go back and rest."

Yanhua only felt a little strange, and explained suspiciously: "I went in to see him, did he feel sick from drinking too much? After I saw it, I went back."

"This..." Wei Changan looked up at the petite Gege, feeling a little embarrassed, "Master Baylor has already fallen asleep, so Gege should go back. It's windy at night, so don't freeze."

"Guard Wei, Gege will leave after seeing it, and won't disturb Lord Baylor's rest." Yingxiu saw the embarrassment on Wei Changan's face, and wondered, "Wouldn't it be more time-consuming to stop it like this? Gege is even more so." It might be freezing."

Wei Changan looked at Yingxiu, sighed helplessly, only pulled her aside, leaned close to her ear and whispered: "You should take Gege back, it's not convenient for Lord Belle to see her right now. In this study, It's not just Lord Baylor."

Yingxiu was stunned for a moment, seeing the perplexed look on Wei Changan's face, then raised his eyes to look at the study room, and suddenly understood.Her complexion instantly became ugly, she only looked at Yan Hua distressedly, then walked forward, helping her to leave.

After seeing the surprise that Yinzhen prepared for her, Yanhua misses her a lot, and now that she is close at hand, she is not willing to leave easily.Ying Xiu became anxious, and leaned into her ear and said, "Ge Ge! There is someone waiting inside!"

After Yanhua heard this, she froze!Sleeping at the bed... As if to echo Ying Xiu's "sleeping at the bed", suddenly there was a muffled groan from the man and a shameful groan from the woman.The woman inside couldn't suppress her voice because of her deep love, so the voice burst out from her throat.

After hearing this, Yan Hua shook off Ying Xiu's hand holding her, turned around without saying a word, and hurried away.

Yingxiu sighed and hurriedly chased after her.When she caught up with Yanhua, she saw by the light of the lantern that her face was already covered with tears.

Yingxiu frowned distressedly, pinching the handkerchief to wipe her tears.

Yanhua turned away her face and didn't look at her, she just said choked with sobs: "Yingxiu, no need, I...I'm sleepy, I just want to go...go back...to rest."

She was full of joy just now, but now she was completely chilled.Being blown by the cool wind again, she only felt that her heart was as cold as ice cubes in winter, very uncomfortable, and her heart throbbed in pain.Tears flowed non-stop so inadvertently, so she rushed back to Wanfu Pavilion crying all the way.

Lingxi has quickly lit the charcoal stove to warm Tang Pozi.When she saw Yan Hua's appearance, she jumped abruptly: "What's wrong with Princess? Didn't you just feel happy?"

Yingxiu winked and told her not to ask again.

Lingxi pursed her lips inexplicably, and didn't know why Yanhua was crying, but she just pulled Yingxiu aside and whispered in her ear: "Today, Lord Belle made Gege wait for so long for nothing. But he went to have a good time by himself. I see, Lord Baylor doesn’t remember that Princess is waiting for him at all, hey..."

"Huh? How do you know this?"

Yingxiu glanced at Yanhua, seeing her sitting on the charcoal stove warming herself, wiping her tears, she felt slightly relieved.

"Hmph! Of course I know! Not only do I know that Lord Baylor is having a good time, but I also know with whom Lord Baylor is having a good time!" Lingxi said angrily about Yanhua's grievances, but the words were so loud that even in Tan Yan Hua, who was dazed by the stove, heard it all.

She looked over with hazy teary eyes, and moved her lips with sobs: "Who is it?"
