The Biography of Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Palace

Chapter 92 Framing ([-])

The capital city has entered a long autumn, and the autumn wind blows the wind and sand, forcing people to close the doors and windows.

The air is soaked in dry wind and dust, and has lost the humidity and sultry temperature of the rainy summer.

Only the autumn chrysanthemums of various colors are still holding the fragrant branches, blooming brilliantly, blooming like life and death.

This day after Wan Lai and Rong Yue had dinner together, because of the news from the respect room earlier, the emperor turned over the signboard of Concubine Hui today, she can rest earlier if she is free.

She was holding a copy of "The Book of Songs" while she was reading. Yunshan served a cup of milk tea and a stack of freshly made lotus root powder and autumn chrysanthemum cakes and walked in with a smile: "The palace is dark, the young master hurt his eyes carefully." Said. After putting down to eat, he lit a few more candles and stood next to the warm seat.

Wan Lai was immersed in the fragrance of pen and ink and didn't bother to look at her directly, she just gave an 'hmm' and told her to step back and have a rest earlier.

But looking at the reflection cast by the candlelight, he saw Yunshan standing beside him like a wooden man, staring at him motionless.So he raised his head suspiciously, glanced at her and asked, "What are you staring at me like?"

There was a meaningful smile on Yun Shan's face, she approached her and stuffed a piece of paper into her hand, and then said with a low laugh: "I just passed by the House of Internal Affairs and met the night watch guards on the corridor. Give this object to the servant, saying that it is a guard named Shen Ye, and ask relatives to hand this object into the hands of the young master."

Wan Lai took the note, hesitated for a moment and unfolded it, and saw that Jun Lang himself wrote a short number on it, "Tonight, at the west corner of the long street, I am invited by the lakeside of Yuhu. I have something to discuss, and I hope that the nobleman will come to this appointment."

After reading it, Wan Yu casually crushed the note, threw it into the burning candle wick and burned it.

She looked calm, and said to Yunshan without any waves: "It's nothing else, it's just a joke. You don't want to mention this to others, so as not to provoke gossip."

Yun Shan Fu Yi Fu said cleverly: "Naturally, these servants still know about propriety."

Seeing that she was smiling unseriously, Wanyu frowned slightly and asked, "What are you thinking?"

"What can the servant think about, it's nothing more than to be happy for the young master." Her eyes moved around in a circle, and she smiled again: "I just thought that the guards I saw that day and night were familiar, and then I met again one day. Then I remembered that he was the handsome young man in the mansion. His name seems to be Lingyou?"

What she said really frightened Wan Lai quite a bit.

It's not because I'm afraid that Yunshan will recognize Shen Ye, but I'm afraid that she will always remember what happened that night. If a bald mouth comes out of her mouth in the future, people will inevitably link the sudden death of Oboi that night with it. Together.

She repeatedly told Yunshan not to mention this matter again, and then sent her out, leaving her alone in the bedroom.

What would Shen Ye want to invite to discuss with her late at night?
Wanyu didn't want to go at first, but now there are countless eyes staring at her in the harem, fearing that they can't find her fault, why should she run into a dead end at this time?

But after all, Shen Ye has helped him a lot, and he is a calm person, if he hadn't really encountered a difficult situation, he would not have taken such a bad idea.

After thinking for a long time, Wan Yu finally left the palace in the dark to meet Shen Ye.

When she arrived at the meeting place, Shen Ye had already been waiting here, and it seemed that she had been waiting for a long time.

"My lord is well." Wanyu bowed to Shen Yefu, and Shen Ye, who was still staring at the moonlight in a daze, suddenly came to his senses, folded his hands warmly and bowed to Wanyu in return: "Your Majesty, Jin'an."

Wan Lai glanced at Shen Ye just now, the moonlight tonight is extremely beautiful bright silver, casting a layer of sparkling light on the Yuhu Lake in front of her, the water waves are shimmering, lingering like silk.

"It's been a long time since I've seen such a quiet night." Wan Lai sighed, then smiled lightly, and asked again: "My lord missed an appointment at night, I don't know why?"

Shen Ye looked hesitant, as if he was stopped by Wanyan's words.

Seeing that he didn't answer for a long time, Wan Yu just stared at herself blankly, and immediately asked: "My lord, I don't know why?"

"This..." Shen Ye was a little embarrassed, and took out a crumpled note from the folded part of the skirt in his arms and handed it to Wanyu, with a serious expression on his face, he whispered, "Didn't you invite me?"

Wan Yu was stunned, and hastily spread out the note to read it.

The handwriting written on the note is indeed very similar to my own, but it is not from Wan Lai's hand.

"At midnight tonight, I invite you to the bank of Yuhu Lake at the west corner of the long street. I have something to discuss, and I hope that the adults will come to this appointment."

It was the same as the note I received, but the title was changed.

Wanyu immediately tore the note into pieces and threw it into Yuhu, then frowned and shook her head, "Master Shen, I'm afraid you and I have been tricked by someone. Where did you get this note?"

"During the night patrol, the maid who was born at the same time said that she was delivering a message for you." Shen Ye suddenly understood something, and immediately said with a gloomy expression: "The maid has been lowering her head and can't see her face clearly. The two maids by the nobleman's side, this"

Wan Yu frowned, lowered her voice and said, "Hurry up and disperse, tonight it will be as if you and I have never met."

After saying this, the two of them turned around and strode to part ways, but at this moment they heard a eunuch's thin voice: "Who is here in the middle of the night?"

Following the prestige, he saw a pair of eunuchs who were on watch at night carrying dragon-head palace lanterns crossing the road. The leading eunuch stopped and walked in the direction of the two.

Seeing that there was no way to avoid it, Wan Yuxuan threw the golden silk Looping handkerchief in her sleeve into the imperial lake, and winked at Shen Ye again.Shen Ye understood immediately, rolled up his sleeves and lay down on the edge of Yuhu Lake, trying to pick up the handkerchief.

Wanlu cleared her throat and coughed a few times, then yelled: "Go over there and order it, don't let it float away!"

She pointed at Juanzi who fell into the imperial lake and said anxiously: "It is a new gift from the emperor. If it is thrown into this imperial lake, what face will I have?"

At this moment, the night watch eunuch had already arrived at the edge of Yuhu Lake.

The leading eunuch slapped Qian'er and said solemnly: "Who is making noise here?"

Wan Yu pretended to be startled by the voice, covered her chest and turned her head to stare at the crowd angrily, "Is the foolish slave trying to scare me to death? Open your eyes and see clearly, I am the nobleman of Chengqian Palace."

"Your Majesty Wan?" The leading eunuch leaned forward the palace lantern to shine a light on Wan Yu's face, then knelt down to pay his respects and said, "Your servant has frightened the nobleman. You really deserve to die. But this...but it's midnight, and the nobleman is here "

Another eunuch behind him pointed at Shen Ye who was still lying on the ground struggling to retrieve Juanzi and shouted: "There are still people there!"

As soon as the eunuch's palace lantern was illuminated, his complexion paled immediately: "This..." he glanced back and forth between Wanyu and Shen Ye, and said for a moment: "The nobleman and the guards meet here in the middle of the night. It's unreasonable for lonely men and widows. If... "

'Snapped'

Before he could finish his sentence, he was suddenly slapped by Wan Lai.

Wan Yu was furious, pointing at the tip of the eunuch's nose and yelling fiercely: "Confused slave, but the emperor's new Juanzi fell into the water and ordered this guard to fetch it for me. What dirty things are in your mind, how dare you talk about it for nothing?" Bengong Qingyu, be careful and I will go back to the emperor and goug out your tongue."
