Fourth Master's childhood sweetheart

Chapter 62 Embroidered Papa
Tong Jia Xili's words made Taoyao and Caiwei's complexions change accordingly.

Especially Caiwei, who was packing her clothes, seemed to think of something.

"Gege..." Caiwei's voice was a little trembling, and she suddenly said: "This embroidered handkerchief seems to have appeared after you entered the palace for a banquet last year and fell into the water."

it is as expected!
Tong Jia Xili's heart sank, she slightly closed her hand holding the embroidered handkerchief, and held the embroidered handkerchief tightly in her palm.

At that palace banquet, all the female family members with a little bit of face in the whole palace attended.On the phoenix boat where Tong Jia Xili is, it can be said that fish and dragons are mixed.

When she fell into the water, she just heard about a rare white fairy water lily in the pool of the Imperial Garden.The whole body is white and crystal clear, so I can't help but want to go to the side of the cruise ship for a little viewing.

But by coincidence, when Tong Jia Xili went out from the cabin to the deck, Concubine Hui and Concubine Rong were leading the princesses to watch the water scene.

Tong Jia Xili had just walked to the edge of the boat, and before she could reach out to hold on to the handrail, she slipped and was pushed out of the boat.

The coldness of the lake and the deep darkness under the lake are fears that Tong Jiaxili has been unwilling to recall for a long time.

The sweet disappearance of a young life and the feeling of suffocation before losing consciousness are still fresh in my memory.

"Garge..."

Tao Yao bit her lip, and tentatively reached out to shake Tong Jia Xili's hand.

Both maidservants knew that what happened that time had a great impact on Tong Jia Xili.

"I'm fine." Xili Tong Jia took a deep breath, squeezed out a slightly ugly smile, and said, "I don't know whose embroidered handkerchief belongs to either."

Could it be the one who pushed her into the water?
Tong Jia Xili wasn't sure, so she buried her head in rubbing the embroidered handkerchief again.

The embroidered handkerchief is made of excellent material, which is woven from the finest ice silk thread.This kind of tribute satin can only be owned by a person with a prominent royal status.

There were many concubines and princesses on the phoenix boat that day, but there were very few who could afford the ice silk thread.

It's a pity that Xili Tong Jia didn't know much about the situation in the palace, and now it's really hard to deduce who the owner of this embroidered handkerchief is.

...

Having trouble sleeping all night, Tong Jia Xili tossed and turned for a long time before falling asleep drowsily.

In the dream, the cold and deep lake bottom reappeared after a long absence.Tong Jia Xili could almost see a pair of big hands approaching him slowly in the darkness.

Those big hands were full of conspiracy, but she couldn't resist them.

When the first ray of sunlight came in through the window, Tong Jia Xili opened his eyes with difficulty.

After struggling almost all night, Tong Jia Xili, who had just woken up, felt very physically and mentally exhausted.

Her mind was dizzy and her body felt drowsy, but she still didn't want to keep closing her eyes.I don't want to face the bottomless world in the dream again.

"Gege is awake?"

When Tong Jia Xili opened the curtain, Caiwei who had been waiting outside greeted her with a smile.

Tong Jia Xili didn't rest well last night, even with her two maids.They were worried about Tong Jia Xili, so naturally they didn't dare to sleep too soundly after guarding outside all night.

"En." Tong Jia Xili nodded in response, showing a little weakness in her tone.

Perhaps it was because she hadn't had a good rest all night, at this time Tong Jia Xili looked a little haggard, and her complexion was not as good as yesterday.

"When you put on makeup later, put on a little more powder." Tong Jia Xili thought, it's better not to let others see her like this.

After the incident at the beginning, although the Tong family did some investigations, it was only an accident to conclude the conclusion.

Even if Tong Jia Xili noticed something unusual now, she couldn't say it rashly before she got the real evidence.In order not to overwhelm the snake.

"The servants went to the small kitchen early in the morning and asked them to add some lotus leaves to the porridge for breakfast." Caiwei helped Tong Jia dress up and said, "Lotus leaf porridge is the best for this season. But that's all."

It is inevitable to be irritable after a good night's sleep, and lotus leaf porridge is very suitable.

After dressing and washing, Tong Jia Xili went to the Empress Dowager's place first, and then went to have breakfast with the Empress Dowager.

The old man was sensitive, and seemed to have noticed that Tong Jiaxili seemed to be in a bad mood early in the morning, so he didn't always make fun of Tong Jiaxili as he always did.

After breakfast, while Tong Jia Xili was serving the Empress Dowager to wash her hands and wash her hands, Aunt Su Mala came in outside.

"The cloth woven with ice silk thread this year was just sent by the emperor." Aunt Su Mala reported internally: "The satin servants have seen it, and it is one in a million."

"Last year, the Empress Dowager, you disliked the bright colors and didn't want them all. This year, there are a few horses with colors you like."

The Empress Dowager raised her eyes, glanced at Mammy Su Mala and said, "Leave a brightly colored one for this child. Ai's family can't wear it, but she is suitable."

As he spoke, he looked at Tong Jia Xili with a smile.

Tong Jia Xili only felt that her heart was pounding when she heard the words "ice silk thread", but she still reacted quickly and thanked the empress dowager.

Ice silk threads are rare, and only a few are sent to the palace every summer.

But the embroidered handkerchief in Tong Jiaxili's hand looked brand new, presumably it was made of cloth that had just been brought in in the past two years.

...

Outside the small warehouse of the Compassionate Ning Palace, Tong Jia Xili took Caiwei to "wander" around, and after seeing Aunt Su Mala, she walked over.

"Grandmother is well." Tong Jia Xili got dressed, glanced at the things that were being moved into the warehouse, and said with a smile, "There are so many things, I don't know how long it will take to count them."

"Your servant, look, Mammy should find someone capable to help you."

"I can move around with my body." Aunt Su Mala smiled and said, "Many of these are the old jewelry of the Empress Dowager."

"Even if you don't wear them now, the servant wants to take a good look at them."

This childhood companionship was revealed on the face of Madam Su Mala.

She cherishes everything about the Empress Dowager.

"I heard the Empress Dowager talking about the fabric woven with ice silk thread this morning. I heard it was brought as a tribute from outside?" Tong Jia Xili mentioned what happened in the morning, with a bit of curiosity in her words.

"Yes." Aunt Su Mala said: "Almost every year at this time, some will be sent to the palace. This cloth is rare, and it seems that it stopped production the year before last."

"It's so cherished?" Tong Jia Xili was a little surprised, and asked again: "I don't know, which palaces have this cloth been sent to?"

?

A trace of suspicion flashed in Su Mala's eyes, and she always felt that Tong Jia Xili's questioning appearance was a bit strange.

but…

Such a thing is actually in the palace, and it is not a secret.

Maybe I happened to come across this rare thing today, so I am curious to ask.

"It was sent last year. The queen mother left one horse for the third princess, and two horses each for the imperial concubine, Wen Guifei and Defei, and then there are no more."

Wen Xian, aunt, Concubine Wen, Concubine De?

Tong Jia Xili ran through the names of these four people in her mind, but couldn't come up with any clues at once.
