Qing Palace Dream Like Smoke·Moyu

Chapter 33

The weather became hot and stuffy, and Mo Yu went back to the tea room, and together with Chun Yun, they took out the honeysuckle flowers picked a few days ago and talked while picking and choosing.Someone came in and said with a smile, "Miss is so excited." Looking up, it was He Zhu'er, the eunuch in the Tai's womb, who stood up and said with a smile, "Why is Mr. He here?" He Zhu'er smiled and said: "Today is the crown prince's birthday. The whole palace is so busy that they only hate that their parents have lost hands and feet. They thought that with more effort in their own palace, they would be able to hold on. Unexpectedly, there are still not enough people." Mo Yu Hearing the first half of what he said, he already understood in his heart, but he didn't speak, just smiled and listened to him continue.He Zhu'er looked at her expression and said with a smile: "The most annoying thing is that at this time, the tea-servant Jian He is not up to date. She has been ill for a few days, and she can't be overjoyed. So the prince confessed that he wanted to ask this side to help me."

Mo Yu smiled slightly and said, "I heard from Chunyun earlier that Eunuch He has already summoned Rong Hua. I think there should be no problem with her here, right?"

He Zhu'er smiled and said, "Young lady, Miss Ronghua was going to go, but she suddenly felt unwell, so I would like to ask the young lady to help me at night."

Mo Yu thought to himself, this prince really went too far, no matter what, he and Rong Hua are also the servants of the imperial court, at least he should inform Li Dequan of this kind of thing, so he came to him directly like this, and he couldn't shirk it. Can't help but hesitate for a while.

He Zhu'er saw her expression as if she was unwilling, her face changed slightly, and she said coldly: "Miss Moyu knows our prince's temper, if you can't invite the girl, I won't be able to do anything when I go back."

Mo Yu thought to himself, if he was a little bit reluctant, he would threaten him like this, and if there is a master, there must be a servant, it really is not a lie.After thinking about it again, why offend him now, and let him be arrogant and domineering, how long will it last?
So he said with a smile: "What is Eunuch He talking about? How can you make the bus stop? Moyu knows it well. Eunuch will go back first. After Moyu is on duty, he will go to the womb of the crown prince. It's just that you have to inform Eunuch Li about this matter." It's just right."

He Zhu'er smiled and said, "Don't worry about this girl, I will greet Eunuch Li. It's not a big deal, and I don't need to bother too many people."

After He Zhu'er left, Chunyun frowned and said worriedly, "Sister, this matter is quite troublesome."

"How troublesome? Tell me what you want." Mo Yu put the tea Wan on the tray, turned to look at her and said with a smile.

Chunyun said: "Although Eunuch Li will not be too restrictive about what we do when it is not worthwhile, but without consent, we still cannot move around at will. I don't think Eunuch He will report to Eunuch Li. In this way, will sister still go at night? If she goes secretly, brothers will all go to the uterus for dinner, and if they are seen, how will they explain it?"

"I'm not worried that Eunuch He won't report this matter to Eunuch Li." Mo Yu stopped talking after speaking halfway. What she was worried about was Kangxi's attitude. It would be very difficult to hide this matter. It's hard to hide it, and I don't want to hide it at all.I was just worried that if He Zhuer and Li Dequan had reached an agreement in private, if I mentioned this matter in front of Kangxi, it would be difficult for Li Dequan to do so, and it would not do me any good in the future.If he kept it a secret, if he found out afterwards, it would cause Kangxi to have other doubts.Chunyun didn't know what was entangled in her heart, and she was still trying to figure out a way for her, and suddenly said: "Sister, why don't you pretend to be sick? Isn't it because Ronghua didn't go because he was sick? I guess it's also pretending of."

Mo Yu said with a smile: "I wanted to pretend to be sick, but I just saw someone alive and kicking here. How can I get rid of the disease? Besides, this trick has been used by others for a long time. They just said that I am sick. Here you go." As soon as I heard about something, I immediately fell ill, even if it was true, I couldn’t help others to think in the fake, not to mention that it was fake, wouldn’t it be more troublesome to be seen through if I was not careful?”

Chunyun knit his eyebrows and said, "Then what should we do?"

Seeing her distressed look, Mo Yu couldn't help laughing and said: "Look at you, I am not in a hurry, but I am anxious to death for you, a theatergoer."

Chun Yun said angrily: "Sister, do you still have the heart to joke?"

"I know that you are doing it for my own good, but there is no other way to think about it now. Don't frown like that. Didn't you see that the water in the pot is gone? Do the things at hand first. Anyway, there is still time. When the time comes We'll discuss it later." Mo Yu took tea and walked to the door, turned around and said with a smile.

As soon as he turned his head, the curtain was lifted, and a person rushed in from the outside, almost knocking over the tray in Mo Yu's hand, Mo Yu gave a soft "ah", and the man quickly grabbed the tilted tea tray, He said, "Why are you standing behind this door?"

Moyu was angry and funny in her heart, and said to herself: "This man, he is reckless, blame me?" Looking up, it turned out to be fourteen, with something in his hand, and it was inconvenient to salute, so he said with a smile: "I was going out, If you don’t go out through this door, where do you go out from?”

Fourteen saw that it was Mo Yu, and said with a smile, "Yes, yes, it's my fault. My mouth is dry, come and ask for a cup of tea."

Chun Yun stepped forward and said with a smile, "Where did Master Fourteen come from to sweat so profusely?"

Fourteen smiled and said, "Come from the Yonghe Palace, I saw Huizhu and the others catching cicadas, and went to help for a while, it's so hot."

Mo Yu smiled and said: "You helped sister Hui Zhu, so she won't even buy you a cup of tea? I think I saw something interesting on the road and went to play for a while?"

Fourteen smiled awkwardly, changed the subject and said, "I was thinking of the iced lotus herbal tea you made last year, it was delicious, so I wanted to ask for a drink."

"I don't have iced lotus tea today. I just prepared some honeysuckle tea. You can't just eat iced tea when it's hot like this. Sit down first and drink a cup of warm honeysuckle tea." Turning to Chunyun, he said, "Here. Lord Fourteen pours you a glass." Then he smiled at Fourteen and said, "I have to go on an errand, if you are in a hurry to leave, drink some tea and go by yourself."

Fourteenth sat down and nodded, "I'm just going out." Mo Yu was about to go out, when he heard what he said, he couldn't help but stop and look back at him, and said, "It's not the crown prince's birthday tonight, you are going out now Palace, don’t you go tonight?” Shisi sneered, picked up the tea on the table and took a sip, and said, “If I don’t go, there is no lack of courtesy.” Mo Yu smiled lightly, knowing that even if he was polite, Concubine De must have prepared it for him, if she must tease him a few words at ordinary times, she is out of mood today, so she lifts the curtain and goes out without saying much.

When I arrived at the gate of Xinuang Pavilion, I suddenly heard Kangxi's cold sentence: "Send all the people in the Qianqing Palace to him, so he can get through this night?" Moyu stood for a while, hesitated, Not knowing whether to go in or not, Li Dequan lifted the curtain and came out, seeing her stunned for a moment.Kangxi asked inside: "Is it Moyu outside?" Li Dequan signaled Moyu to go in with his eyes, and said in a low voice: "Be careful when answering." Moyu nodded slightly, and entered the door with tea.

After entering the door, I saw Kangxi wearing a short linen jacket sitting cross-legged in front of the desk, frowning and looking at the papers, Moyu realized that the noise of Yuqing Palace could be faintly heard in Xinuang Pavilion in broad daylight.Mo Yu stepped forward to change a cup of tea, and retreated aside, Kangxi did not look up at her, she hesitated whether to withdraw or not. "When you go, take some of the Mingqian Longjing that was sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs a few days ago." Kangxi put down the booklet in his hand and changed a copy, but he still didn't look up.Mo Yu was taken aback for a moment, and said "ah".Kangxi raised his eyes to look at her and said: "Didn't the prince ask someone to call you to help Yuqing Palace?" His voice was calm, no emotion could be heard, but it is a fact that the prince has often gone beyond the distance in his work these few years. Kangxi should know it by heart, but he has never heard a single word that revealed his emotions. If he hadn't heard his conversation with Li Dequan before, Mo Yu would not be able to judge his true thoughts at all.Mo Yu knelt down without thinking and said: "I also know that although the emperor treats us leniently, this slave is in Qianqing Palace. If there is something to do, I should report to Eunuch Li first. When the prince summons, Eunuch He Zhuer comes He said that Eunuch Li had already agreed, and secondly, because the prince ordered that the servants do not have to respond at night, and the servants could not shirk, so he agreed." In fact, He Zhuer only said that he would tell Li Dequan, not that Li Dequan had already agreed, Mo Once Yu changed this, the nature of the matter changed a lot. It was up to her to decide whether the former should be done or not, but she had to agree to the latter.

Kangxi pondered for a long while, then suddenly smiled and said: "It's a rare festive day, since I go to help, it's easy to run an errand." Mo Yu replied: "Yes." When he went out, Li Dequan asked her in a low voice: "Just before you go in, listen to me. Did you hear anything?" Mo Yu said, "Mo Yu didn't hear anything." Li Dequan nodded in satisfaction, and said, "Be more careful in what you do, and don't miss tomorrow's due date." Mo Yu nodded and said :"I got it."

As he was walking back, Moyu thought to himself: "Now the crown prince's transgression behavior is getting more and more popular, and all the imperial objects are used in yellow. During the celebration, the ministers will pay homage to Kangxi, and they can go to Yuqing Palace to salute him." On New Year's Day and winter solstice, civil and military officials below the king will congratulate him, kneel twice and kowtow six times to respect the people. All the rituals are similar to Kangxi, and the extravagant life is quite different from Kangxi's frugal and compassionate people. Kangxi wholeheartedly wants to cultivate a I am proud of the crown prince, but after all, things backfired, and father and son will eventually be incompatible."

When I returned to the tea room, Fourteen had already left.Mo Yu was still thinking about something on his mind, Chunyun called softly from the side: "Sister?" Mo Yu came back to his senses, and said to her: "Go back first. I see if there is anything I need to take to the Crown Prince's womb. "Chun Yun said: "Sister, you still want to go to the palace? You haven't been there, but I have. The things in the Lord's Temple are only better than ours, so you don't need to prepare anything." Mo Yu heard , nodded, couldn't help but sighed again.Chunyun also sighed and said, "Just now I wanted to talk to the Fourteenth Master for an idea, but the Fourteenth Master left without saying a word." After hearing this, Mo Yu said angrily, "When did you talk so much? , I am getting more and more confused in doing things, and I even used this kind of thing to tell my elder brother, and I completely forgot what I told you." Chunyun lowered his head and said: "I was also impatient for a while, so I couldn't think much more." Mo Yu He sighed and said: "I also know that you are doing it for me, but if you care about it, it will cause chaos. It's not a big deal, but sometimes you just say it casually, and it may cause even bigger troubles." Chunyun nodded and said: " I see."
