Qing court ladies

Chapter 3
Su Yue was still rubbing her face and thinking about it, she didn't pay attention to the road at all, walking on the bluestone road, bumped into a plum branch stretching out from the roadside, seeing the red plum that suddenly appeared in front of her, Su Yue was startled, almost startled Exhale.

Fortunately, Su Yue was already prepared for her yelling temper, she quickly covered her mouth with her hands, stared at Hongmei in front of her with wide eyes, calmed down, and suddenly she smirked, because she finally I remembered where I heard the word Yimeiyuan. Isn't this the name of Yuanzi who said that Nifengrujieyi is easy to be destroyed, and then met the man who made her love and hate in her life?Su Yue always thought that everything in the TV series was fictional, never thought that such a garden really existed.

Su Yue looked at the plum branches in front of her, the plum blossoms on the branches had already bloomed, the red petals wrapped the bright yellow stamens, it was extremely beautiful, Su Yue suddenly became interested, she had been listening to people talking about plum blossoms, and had seen plum blossoms in various paintings When I first came here, I also had a glimpse of plum blossoms. At that time, I was busy studying court etiquette every day, and I was trembling. I didn't have time to see plum blossoms. So Suyue never really saw plum blossoms, and even didn't even think about admiring plum blossoms. thought about it.

Su Yue was so excited that she didn't care about Nanny Rong's instructions, she walked into the plum forest with a basket, looked around, there were all red plums here, and it wasn't snowing now, so I really couldn't tell what kind of cold plums and proud snows Scenery, Suyue hung the basket on her arm, took out a handkerchief, picked a plum blossom and put it in the handkerchief, lowered her head and sniffed lightly, a faint fragrance of plum blossoms reminded Suyue of a line of poetry, in all her knowledge After returning it to the teacher.

"There is a plum blossom in front of Baiyutang, and suddenly several flowers are blooming today. Several doors are closed, how can the spring scenery come in?" Su Yue laughed in a low voice after reading, isn't that what it is, before she noticed the plum blossoms bloomed, the plum blossoms came Blocking her from admiring the plum scenery coincided with the artistic conception of this poem, Su Yue burst out laughing and even twirled while holding the plum tree.

"Who?" The man suddenly yelled, and Su Yue was so frightened that she almost bumped into a tree. Su Yue realized that she quickly hid behind the plum tree with her basket in her arms, her heart skipped a beat, and she thought to herself that it's not such a bad luck!She didn't say anything about the thing that is against the wind, how did it attract people? The most important thing is that she is not a maid who leans on the plum garden, but also a maid who is not sent by the master to fold plums, but a maid from the imperial dining room. In Yimeiyuan, Su Yue secretly scolded, isn't this courting death?Su Yue was afraid in her heart, she didn't dare to show up, and retreated cautiously.

Fortunately, Suyue was familiar with Yimeiyuan, and knew that there was a corner gate nearby. Suyue looked at the path and ran along the corner to the corner gate to leave. She was scared to death along the way, patted her heaving chest, and hurried back.

Leaning against the plum garden, a man in a dragon robe appeared in the plum grove. He was imposing, dignified, handsome, with wheat-colored and healthy skin. There was no one in sight for a long time, and he asked solemnly, "Li Dequan, do you know who lives in this plum garden?"

A person came out from behind the man, dressed in eunuch attire, bent his back and hurried forward to reply, "Long Live Lord, there is only one gardener and one janitor in this plum garden, but I'm afraid it's the season when the plum blossoms are in full bloom." There must be many masters and palace maids who come here to appreciate plum blossoms."

Kangxi nodded when he heard the words, and ordered "find this woman"

Li Dequan nodded, but out of the corner of his eye he saw the handkerchief in the corner, went to pick it up and presented it to Kangxi, Kangxi saw that the white handkerchief was embroidered with "Zhuang Shengxiao Dreaming Butterfly" and there was a colorful butterfly flying lightly.

Kangxi held it in his hand, put it under his nose and sniffed lightly. There was a scent of plum blossoms on the handkerchief, mixed with a scent of sweetness. He thought that he was passing by Yimei Garden today and was attracted by the fragrance of plum blossoms. Unexpectedly, it was unexpected. Unexpectedly, he met a poet reciting person, but he didn't see anyone, which made Kangxi even more curious.

Kangxi left first, and Li Dequan stood in the same place thinking, Li Dequan felt very familiar with that voice, he should have heard it before, but Li Dequan was busy, so he couldn't remember where he was at the moment.

Mother Rong was startled by the knock on the door, wondering if Suyue, the stinky girl, ran back again, and went to open the door with a smile, but she saw Li Dequan, busy saluting, with a solemn expression, "Slave please greet Mr. Li."

Li Dequan didn't miss Rong Nanny's expression, and he was already thinking about it. It seems that the woman in Yimei Garden should be known by Rong Nanny, "Our family doesn't beat around the bush anymore. Did any girl come to Yimei Garden just now?"

Mother Rong was startled, her first reaction was Su Yue, but when she didn't know what was going on, she didn't dare to rush back, and replied, "I don't know, I have already returned to my room, there is nothing else in this Yimei Garden except my servant and Uncle Zhang." People, if there is someone, I am afraid that they are also the father-in-law sent by the masters of the palace to Zhemei."

Seeing him change the subject, Li Dequan said in a cold voice, "Our family will not go around in circles with you. Your expression just told our family that someone just left your place. If you don't want to say it, our family will not be polite."

Nurse Rong knelt down and replied in fear, "Mr. Li, please calm down. This servant dare not lie to Mr. Li. This servant taught a court lady a few days ago. Today, I came to look for my servant to take an embroidery sample, but I have already left. This servant thought she was here." It’s still embroidered, that’s why it’s like this, please pay attention to the father-in-law.”

Li Dequan's face darkened, "When did she come? To be honest, if she dares to fool our family, we will not be polite."

"Go back to Manager Li, she came here for the first time at Chenshi, took it and left." Nanny Rong returned, but felt uneasy in her heart, wondering if it was Su Yue, but didn't know what happened, so she had to half-truth and half-false.

Li Dequan frowned, then took out a handkerchief, unfolded it for Nanny Rong, and asked, "Look, do you recognize this?"

Aunt Rong looked up and shook her head.Suyue doesn't like to use handkerchiefs, and Nanny Rong naturally doesn't know the style of Suyue's handkerchiefs, not to mention that every time Suyue comes, she jumps up and down, and she can't tell what kind of handkerchief she is wearing, so Nanny Rong I really don't know.

Li Dequan saw that Nanny Rong didn't dare to lie to him, and didn't want to pester him, so he put away the handkerchief, turned and left.

Grandma Rong watched Li Dequan leave and fell to the ground, puzzled.At the first moment, I wondered if there was something wrong with Suyue, but then I felt that even if Suyue made a mistake, it would be impossible to bother Director Li to come to ask questions. You must know that Li Dequan is the chief eunuch next to Long Live Lord, and he dare not bother with ordinary trivial matters Li Dequan, Grandma Rong was shocked when she thought about the romanticism of Lord Long Live. It was Lord Long Live who was looking for the owner of the handkerchief. It will be Suyue, Suyue has been away for half an hour, how could she meet the Lord Long Live, if she really met the Lord Long Live, then Su Yue's dream will be ruined.Mother Rong knew that Suyue's Ama Eriang wanted Suyue to return home after she was 25 years old, so she arranged for Suyue to stay in Yimeiyuan, and later went to the imperial dining room to do chores, because she would not be able to get along with her master. If there is anything involved, naturally she will not make a mistake and die because of it, but now the person she is targeting is Lord Long Live, a romantic master who will not let the Xinzheku girl go, what can Su Yue do?
Grandma Rong broke out in a cold sweat. In this cold day, her back was wet with sweat. She became more and more worried about Suyue. Thinking of Suyue's temper, Nanny Rong was really frightened.

Grandma Rong was worried for several days, but she didn't see Su Yue coming, and she didn't know how to verify it.

But when Su Yue met someone in Yimei Garden, she was terrified for a few days, and she didn't dare to go to Yimei Garden anymore. As for the handkerchief, Su Yue was used to throwing things away, so she didn't care much about it, so naturally she didn't think about it deliberately. Staying obediently in the imperial dining room to wash vegetables, wash dishes and do some rough work, Su Yue gradually forgot about leaning on the plum garden.
