The concubine is enchanting: the favorite princess

Chapter 62 Goodbye Jade Pendant
The little palace maid said while crying, the back of Zi Ying's neck felt cold from crying, and she dared not accept the white silk bag handed over.

But I heard Feng Yao asking from behind: "Zi Ying, who is crying?"

Ziying suddenly seemed to have grasped the straw, and seeing the manifested Bodhisattva, she hurriedly dragged the little maid to Fengyao and said, "Princess, she works in the Yuqing Palace, her name is Lan'er. She said that Chun'er hanged herself." He also said that Chun'er asked her to give this small bag to my sister before she died."

"For Lu Luo?" Feng Yao was startled and stunned.She didn't expect Chun'er to die, and she didn't know why this thing was handed over to Luluo.

Lu Luo happened to be behind Feng Yao, and went over to take the small bag from Lan Er.First squeeze it cautiously, and then carefully open it.

Feng Yao also looked over, just in time to see a piece of jade pendant filled with greenery and a folded letterhead inside.Just call Luluo: "Show me something."

Feng Yao recognized at a glance that it was the jade pendant that Ziyou gave Mo Suxin.But she obviously gave it to Chun'er, so didn't she give the jade pendant to Mo Suxin to be buried with her?It seems that there will be an answer in this letter signature.

The letter was written on an ordinary piece of white paper, with only a few lines of words, which meant that since the jade pendant was given to Princess Yunhe by Concubine Mo Shu, there must be her intentions.After thinking about it, Chun'er couldn't go against her master's will, so she returned the jade pendant.

But Chun'er must have also thought that it was impossible for a little court lady like Lan'er to meet the princess directly, so she asked her to come to Luluo or Ziying to hand it over.

After reading the letter, Feng Yao looked at the jade pendant and sighed leisurely, and put the jade pendant back into his sleeve.Then he asked Lan'er: "Then what happened to Chun'er? What did she tell you before she was alive?"

"Sister Chun'er told me a lot last night. She said she was homesick, she missed Master, and she also missed Sister Dong'er. It was an incomparable honor to say that Sister Dong'er went with Master. And she also wanted to go with Master. But I was afraid that no one would take care of the master's funeral. After the fourth watch, I was about to fall asleep in a daze, and saw her getting up to burn incense for Concubine Mo Shu, saying that it was the master's first seven, and I needed to burn more Paper money. I just fell asleep, and then I was woken up by women, all yelling that Sister Chun'er had hanged herself. I ran here to deliver things."

Lan'er was obviously frightened too, she said tremblingly while wiping her tears, her face was stained and her hair was messed up, she looked very pitiful.

Feng Yao understood, and sighed, but he also praised in his heart: Chun'er is loyal: in the end, she will go with her master.

Then he asked again: "Lan'er, what kind of maid are you?"

"Back to the princess, Lan'er has only been in the palace for two months, and she has no rank yet."

"Luluo, go to the head nurse of Yuqing Hall and tell her that Lan'er will stay in Yuexi Pavilion to serve as servants." After Feng Yao finished speaking, Lan'er knelt down and kowtowed in thanks.

You know, the ladies of the court can only have a good life with their favored masters.But her fate was not good, Concubine Mo Shu fell into the water and died unexpectedly, so no other concubines would want a court lady like her, and they were all afraid of being tainted with bad luck.Either they will be sent to the Clothes Bureau, or they will be sent to the cold palace as a rough envoy, in short, they will never have a good life again.And now there is a princess who is willing to take in her with a rank and title, that is really a great fortune.

Feng Yao nodded and said: "Get up. You also go with Luluo to bid farewell to Nanny. But don't pack your things, come to Yuexi Pavilion to be a third-class maid, just follow Luluo."

When Lan Er heard it, she was very grateful, and kowtowed several times before leaving with Lu Luo.

Before leaving, Fengyao also asked Lu Luo to bring 50 taels of silver to the head nurse of the Yuqing Palace, which meant that Chun'er was also buried generously.Otherwise, it would be bad luck for a girl like Chun'er who has lost her master to hang herself again, and she might be thrown into the wilderness with no place to bury her.

Luluo took Lan'er away, Fengyao sat alone in the yard looking at the osmanthus trees in full bloom, his thoughts were deep, and he couldn't feel the joy that should be in the Mid-Autumn Festival.

After noon, Feng Yao was leaning on the couch and reading a book, Zi Ying came in with a small lotus lantern, deliberately waved it in front of Feng Yao, meaning to let Feng Yao see it.

Feng Yao glared at her without asking, turned his head aside and continued reading.

Only then did Zi Ying rush over, and put the lotus lantern at Feng Yao's feet: "This is from the son-in-law."

"Ah?" Feng Yao quickly sat up, picked up the lotus lantern, and kept looking at it.

"Hehe, the son-in-law didn't come in person. It was Zhuang Yi, who followed Mo's son-in-law from the hunting ground, to the palace gate, and was brought in by a servant."

The Zhuang Yi mentioned by Ziying was the attendant who was transferred by Feng Yao to Moli's side because of Qin Mo's competition with Moli.Those two people, one named Zhuang Yi and the other Zhuo Bin, seemed to be more obedient.

Holding the lamp, Feng Yao was both happy and sad, happy because Mo Li still remembered him, but sad because it was Mid-Autumn Festival or seeing only the lamp and no one.

On the night of Mid-Autumn Festival, there is also a palace banquet as usual.It's just that Mo Suxin passed away, the emperor was in a bad mood, and the palace banquet ended hastily.

At the palace banquet, Feng Yao saw that his father was depressed, he seemed to have aged a lot, he sighed in his heart for a while, and couldn't help but feel distressed.Fortunately, the palace banquet ended early, otherwise Feng Yao wondered if he would have shed tears at the palace banquet.

Back at Yuexi Pavilion, Fengyao ordered Ziying and Luluo to light up the four lamps that Mo Suxin had sent before, and arranged them in a quadrangular shape with lamp stands, but in the center hung the lotus lantern that Moli sent today.

Although the lotus lantern is just the skeleton of ordinary colored paper and bamboo sticks, it is very ordinary.But in Feng Yao's eyes, it is even more beautiful than those emerald coral lamps, gold and white jade lamps, agarwood crystal lamps or crystal glazed lamps around.

The faint pastels of the lotus and the soft candlelight gave off a blushing warmth, which made Feng Yao's sorrow and pity in his heart lessened a bit for many days.

In the Yuexi Pavilion, one looks at the lantern and sighs, while in the small house on West Street, one mourns for the moon.

The bright and clear moonlight always has a touch of coldness, and it also makes the whole body cold when it shines on the body.This has nothing to do with Night Breeze, it's just a leisurely mood.

Mo Li stood under the tall sycamore tree in the backyard, looked at the hawk in the copper cage, and then stepped forward to open the cage door.

The proud falcon watched for a while in the cage, and when Mo Li reached in, both claws jumped and stood on Mo Li's wrist.Mo Li held Hayabusa out, took out a piece of white lambskin from his sleeve, and tied it to Hayabusa's feet.

The falcon bird "chirped", flapped its wings and flew up.But it didn't fly far away, it just circled around Mo Lifei and stopped on his shoulder again.

"Go." Mo Li turned his head to look at the Hayabusa standing on his shoulder, and a bitter smile appeared on the corner of his lips.

The hawk clearly understood, spread its wings, and rushed into the night sky like an arrow.When the figure disappeared, there was a high-pitched bird song, and that song seemed to come from the sky.
