Attack Jade (攻玉) - Chapter 124
[Chapter 91]
It was nearly dusk when I went up the hill.
The residence of the Lishan Palace is limited, and there are many officials and female dependents accompanying the trip, and the residence is allocated, except for the princes and ministers of more than three pins, the officials at the bottom need to live in at least two people in the same room, or fathers and sons and brothers live in the same room, or even four or five people in one room.
As for the female dependents, a group of young ladies of the Xiangxiang Academy were placed in the Xiangluan Pavilion, Teng Yuyi and his cousin lived in the innermost part of the East Corridor, Du Tinglan picked up his clothes, walked to the Xuan window to look outside, behind the window was the garden leading to the hot spring pool, the palace ladies walked through the flowers, at this time most of the flowers in Chang’an City were thankful, but Lishan Mountain was still a beautiful scenery, Du Tinglan leaned on the window to breathe deeply, and the cool twilight slowly poured into the lungs, as if for a moment to think quietly.
I overheard Teng Yuyi whispering, “Sister, help me close the window.” Du Tinglan only when the
sister wanted to change clothes, casually closed the window, but saw her sister sneaking in front of the bed and did not know what to do, and when she approached, she found that her sister was holding a long hair strand in her hand, and it looked like she was about to tie it to the bed.
This strand of hair is at least made of a dozen long strands of hair in series, connected by knots in the middle.
“What is this going to do?” Du Tinglan didn’t understand the reason at first, but in an instant he understood, and hurriedly lowered his voice, “Do you want to guard against the person who assassinated you?”
Teng Yuyi first looked around, making sure that the doors and windows were tightly closed, and then listened carefully to make sure that there was no one outside the corridor, so he ripped open the hair, tied one end to the bed, and tied one end to the horizontal wood of the screen, and then whispered: “I thought about it, that night I temporarily went to the Void Pavilion to block the trail chief, even if the person broke my silk in advance, I could not predict who I would meet in the middle, if I wanted to tarnish my reputation, this move seemed meaningless. So that night’s events may as well be a different way of thinking, maybe this person didn’t think so much, she just wanted to steal my sachet. ”
Steal your sachet?”
“All my intimate objects use the same kind of incense, in addition to roses, there are also two other flavors in it, this recipe is my own thought, others can not even imitate.” The first smell was rose, and when I smelled it carefully, I mixed it with other strange fragrances, and the man probably wanted to know the recipe of my spices, but he couldn’t ask in person, so he had to steal it. Chun Velvet and Bi Luo used to tie a ruyi knot on my belt, this knot was extremely difficult to understand, that night the man took advantage of the same table to approach me silently, but he could not untie the knot on the silk tapestry, afraid of dragging on for a long time, he quietly cut it with a sharp object, and as a result, I left the table without waiting for her to cut the silk tassel.
Du Tinglan was shocked and nodded, “No wonder you said that this matter has nothing to do with your personal big man, if ChunRong and Bi Luo have different intentions, why do you need that person to do it himself, the second concubine has already told each other Fang Zi.” Fortunately, it did not succeed, let this person know the detailed recipe in your incense block, and the article that can be done in the future will be big, just throw the small things that stain your habitual aroma to the man, you can tarnish your reputation… No, in addition to these boudoir tricks, there may even be other unexpected dirty tricks. Teng Yuyi
took out a packet of medicinal powder and smiled, “That person is thinking about it like this, if I don’t pay tribute to her well, wouldn’t it be in vain to live up to the other party’s intention to treat me.”
Du Tinglan: “What is this?”
Teng Yuyi and Yan Yue swept up the embroidery sac: “This is called a hundred flowers, I let Duan Fu get it in the first few days, as long as it is stained with this medicinal powder, the face and body will continue to itch, and within a month, the appearance will become a lot uglier, because the medicinal properties are hidden, the poisoning place looks similar to ordinary eczema, and even the Feng Yu of the Shang Pharmacy does not want to diagnose it.” At
this point, she smiled slightly: “Tonight she dared to sneak into my room to steal my things, and I asked her to taste the power of a hundred flowers.” As long as she is close to my bed, she will touch this strand of hair tied in front of the bed, and when the hair is broken, the small machine behind the screen will pour out the medicine powder in the small sachet, and the medicine powder will float in the air, and she will be poisoned without knowing it.
Covering his mouth and nose with a towel, he said to Du Tinglan: “Sister, you quickly hide, I took the antidote and you didn’t eat it, beware of being splashed by the medicine powder.” As
he spoke, he pulled the silk of the embroidery sac tied a little, walked to the screen and tiptoed to put the bag of medicinal powder on top, and then somehow felt a small wooden machine bracket and wrapped the machine between the hair and the embroidery bag.
Du Tinglan was stunned to see his sister finish all this: “Where did you learn these methods?”
Teng Yuyi was silent and turned back to look at Du Tinglan: “Sister, are you going to talk about me?”
Du Tinglan couldn’t help but cry and laugh at his sister’s clear eyes: “How can Sister Ah say you?” Sister Ah felt, felt…”
Suddenly remembered that her aunt died too early, her aunt and cousin could not replace Ah Niang, her uncle was busy with military affairs, and Ayu had long been accustomed to using her own methods to deal with everything alone.
Du Tinglan’s heart softened, and his tone also softened: “You have remembered, no matter what you do, Sister Ah will always be on your side.” Although this method… As long as it works, it is easy to say that if this evil person is pulled out as soon as possible, it will not be in suspense all day.
Teng Yuyi pulled Sister Ah to the table and sat down: “Taking advantage of the opportunity to live together in Lishan this time, that person will definitely not be able to resist taking a shot.” Tonight the female relatives went to the hot spring pool, there was no one on the side of Xiangluan Pavilion, the person might take the time to come back, the palace people were not familiar with us, it was night, as long as the person dressed like me, even if he entered my room, he would not arouse suspicion. I wanted to see if the man had any accomplices. “What
do you see? Do you want to keep an eye on it, but the guards on the mountain are strict, and Duan Fu can’t follow the female dependents. “I
had to come in person.” I have already thought of the method, Sister you see, this is the transfiguration mask I asked Cheng Bo to prepare for me before going up the mountain, as long as it is pasted on the face, you can change your appearance. When I come out of the hot spring pool tonight, let Chun Velvet put on my cloak, she pretends to be drunk and rests in the Xuan Pavilion by the pool, covering her face with a towel and only saying that she wants to sleep, and then I put on the clothes of Chun Velvet and come out, and then Sister Ah will help me cover up.
Du Tinglan thought about it, Chunrong’s figure is similar to her sister, with her as a sister taking care of her, others will not suspect it, even if there is any change, it is not a big deal to adapt.
I heard someone from the palace outside say, “Du Niangzi, Teng Niangzi, the empress has let you have dinner in Yixiaxuan, let’s sit down early.” ***
The
dinner on the side of the female dependents was presided over by the queen herself.
When the young ladies came forward to prostrate, the empress’s gaze intentionally or unintentionally stayed on Teng Yuyi’s body for a moment, and then during the meal, Teng Yuyi could occasionally feel the kind gaze from the head.
Teng Yuyi quietly raised her eyes, but found that the empress was being eaten in front of the palace ladies, with a dignified and soft expression, as if she had never seen the bottom at all.
It seemed to be just her delusion.
After the banquet, the palace people passed on behalf of the empress: “On the way into the mountain, the ladies are tired when they want to come, and they can go to the spring forest to bathe and relieve their fatigue after eating.” Those who do not want to go to the hot spring to bathe immediately can go to the Danlin Hall with the empress to watch the character dance offered by the people of the Nanzhao kingdom. In addition, there are also a bar in the palace, and later all the young langjun who go up the mountain this time will go to the barn to fight horses, I have always forbidden women to equestrian and horse poles, if you ladies and ladies are interested, you may wish to go over and take a look. In short, you don’t have to hang out tonight. The
women bowed down and responded.
Xiangxiang Academy, these little ladies, more than half of them want to go to the field to see the light, the queen waited for a while in the first place, not wary of seeing Teng Yuyi did not hesitate to choose to go to the hot spring, she could not help but have mixed feelings in her heart, it seems that this child does not have any intention of You’er at present, fortunately, at least in this way, it can be determined that Teng Niangzi has no other sweetheart, otherwise she will not be uninterested in the field where the children of the family will go tonight.
Out of the Yixia Xuan inventory, only a small number of the same window willing to go to the spring pond was left, led by Wu Qi, and the rest were Teng Yuyi sisters, Li Huaigu, Liu Siniang, Zheng Shuangyin and others, adding up to a dozen or so.
The women put their arms around each other and went back to Xiangluan Pavilion to get their clothes.
Du Tinglan and Teng Yuyi had already made up their minds to go to the hot spring pool, so they were in the roomEverything was ready-made, and when I went back to the room to make a model, I came out with a big mane such as spring velvet and a red slave.
As soon as he came out, he met Wu Qi’s master servant, and Wu Qi’s temperament was cool, and he picked up and came out as soon as possible.
“Or let’s go first.” Waiting for no one else to come out, Wu Qi took the initiative to say.
“Yes.”
Tonight there were figures everywhere in the palace, in addition to the palace ladies and eunuchs, there were also many female relatives who were laughing and passing by, and there were several young family princes who were preparing for the later blows, and were busy letting the servants test the tools.
When passing by a pavilion, Wu Qi suddenly fell at his feet.
“Oops.” She screamed and sat down on the shaft.
Du Tinglan and Teng Yuyi glanced at each other, and Wu Qi’s face changed, looking like he was not light.
“Is it all right?” Du Tinglan looked down at her and asked with concern, “Do you want to find Feng Yulai?”
Wu Qi shook his head to speak, and there was a prince who happened to pass by, heard Wu Qi’s cries of pain, smelled the sound, and hurriedly walked towards this side.
This dressed teenager Teng Yuyi had only seen in the afternoon, and it was the person who was looking at her on the way into the mountain.
Guo mi saw Wu Qi’s grievances and skimmed his lips: “Brother, I have fallen to my feet.”
Wu Yuanluo squatted down and looked at it, thinking that his sister was older, and it was not easy to examine it personally, so he had to rest one arm on his knee and look down at Wu Qi’s feet: “You are also too careless, is it very painful?”
Wu Qi’s face was scorched: “The pain is dead.” Brother, you want to think about it, I still want to have fun in the mountains for a few days, if you don’t rub the bruises tomorrow, it will swell up tomorrow.
Wu Yuanluo paused, “Yu Fengyu is also in the palace, but it is too rude to send the people below, you wait here, Brother Ah personally went to help you invite him.”
Saying that, he got up, and the forked hand rushed at Teng Yuyi: “Please ask the two ladies to help take care of sister She.”
His gaze and demeanor fell, much more polite than the annoying gaze of the afternoon. Teng Yuyi searched for the dry intestines, vaguely remembering that in her previous life, she had heard the name of this grand duke of Wu, who was good at discerning talents, and at the age of four, she had the name of a prodigy, and as for anything else, she couldn’t remember anything.
At this moment, another group of people passed by, and Lin Chengyou was also among them, and when he saw this scene, he couldn’t help but stop his steps.
He first looked at Teng Yuyi, then at the little lady who was suspected of “breaking her feet”, and finally looked at Wu Yuanluo, and quickly guessed what had happened.
Lin Chengyou secretly thought that Wu Yuanluo should not have deliberately spoken to Teng Yuyi through his head, otherwise it would be too coincidental, and Wu Yuanluo would appear as soon as Wu Yuanluo was on her side.
Teng Yuyi did not take Wu Yuanluo’s stubble, Du Tinglan did not think about how to answer, Wu Yuanluo’s request is reasonable, this place is full of people, Wu Qi is after all an unmarried little lady, moreover, the same window wei foot, falling arm regardless of it does not seem to be good, Du Tinglan thought about the answer, and then listened to Wu Qi said: “Brother, she is the Teng Lady who took us out of the peach forest last time.”
Wu Yuanluo turned his eyes and dropped two clear glances on Teng Yuyi’s face: “It turned out to be Lady Teng, the last time I heard Sister She talk about this, Wu Mou was the wisdom of Lady Nahanteng.
Lin Chengyou snorted in his heart, and then he should say that Lady Teng had saved the life of her sister, and Wu Mou would be a picture report in the future.
As expected, Wu Yuanluo did indeed say, “Lady Teng saved sister’s life—”
Oh, good. Lin Chengyou raised his eyebrows, and suddenly smiled: “Isn’t this the Grand Duke of Wu, it is about to start the attack, why is Grand Duke Wu still not passing?” Teng
Yuyi heard that the prestige had passed, and saw Lin Chengyou looking at this side with a smile.
Wu Yuanluo then said, “Sister She accidentally broke her foot, and Wu was about to go to ask Yu Fengyu.
Lin Chengyou conveniently removed the jade plate from his waist and handed it to the palace people behind him: “Go and ask his old man to come and see.” Wu Yuanluo’s
smile stagnated, there were no more than five people in the whole world who could ask Yu Fengyu to come to the doctor with only one jade tablet, but unfortunately, this one in front of him was.
Lin Chengyou smiled at Wu Yuanluo: “Raise your hand, Wu Gongzi doesn’t have to thank you.” Teng Yuyi
pulled Du Tinglan along the way to resign. Although Wu Qi tried her best to cover it up, she clearly had a weak heart, and she had already seen that she was not a real widow, and this was just to help Brother Ah to match her.
Lin Chengyou came to say that at least she did not have to hesitate to wait and see the changes, or directly rejected.
When passing by Lin Chengyou, Lin Chengyou was still not gone, Teng Yuyi wanted to perform a salute with Lin Chengyou, but unexpectedly saw the Chun’an Junwang who came over, and the ceremony stopped.
She secretly wondered, was this person who appeared in the ZhiXu Pavilion that night and was led away by someone? Could it be related to her? I only hate that I can’t ask about it, if only Lin Chengyou would be fine, at least she could ask him in person.
After thinking about it, they forgot to continue the ritual just now, and the sisters took a few steps forward and saw Gu Xian, the crown prince of Nanzhaoguo.
Although Gu Xian had only dealt with Teng Yuyi a few times, he seemed to be very impressed by the fact that he had jointly resisted the corpse evil in the ChengWang Mansion that night, and before Teng Yuyi could get closer, he performed the etiquette of the Nanzhao State on her.
“Lady Teng.”
Teng Yuyi thought of Wu Yingying as soon as she saw Gu Xian, but since the deep conversation with her father that night, she decided to believe her father once, so she knew where Wu Yingying lived, but she never went to find Wu Yingying’s trouble.
Gu Xian was different. Wu Yingying was his nominal aunt, and in these years in the Nanzhao Kingdom, Gu Xian must have known Wu Yingying’s details very well, and she must inquire gently when she has the opportunity.
Because of this thought, she seemed very cautious when she returned the gift.
After returning to the ceremony, he went with Du Tinglan to the hot spring pool of Hanyao Palace.
***
Lin Chengyou was smiling on his face, but his heart was sour.
He had thought that Teng Yuyi must be tired after a day in the calf car, let her rest for a good night tonight, and go to her tomorrow, those three principles he has memorized, as long as he sees her, he must use them freely.
It seems that this posture cannot wait for tomorrow.
Only then did he get Wu Yuanluo away from Teng Yuyi’s side, and there was uncle huang again, Teng Yuyi patronized and looked at uncle huang, he didn’t say hello to him at all, and Gu Xian looked very annoying tonight.
It is also true that Teng Yuyi is good, and he is not the only one who can see it, some people like Teng Yuyi, he does not feel strange at all.
No, it seems that tonight can not only care about playing the horse, tonight everywhere is lively, who knows if there will be a second Wu Yuanluo, how to see Teng Yuyi’s side, at least in front of her to implement those three.
Thinking of this, his footsteps stopped: “Hiss, my head hurts so much, I’m afraid I can’t beat Ma Hao tonight.” ”
***
The soup pond of Hanyao Palace is dedicated to the bathing of the ministers’ female dependents, the soup pond grows hundreds of feet, the spring runs through the entire palace, the spring water is babbling, the medicinal fragrance is steaming with the heat, Teng Yuyi and Du Tinglan arrived early, there were only two of them in the palace, this is in the arms of Teng Yuyi, the sisters made arrangements according to the original plan, Li Huaigu and other young ladies came, and soon the banquet of the Danlin Hall seemed to be scattered, and there were many ladies to bathe one after another, and the Hanyao Palace was completely lively.
After a moment, Teng Yuyi secretly looked around and found that there were several people missing in the soup pond at some point, and her heart moved, and she said to her cousin: “Sister, I have to go and catch the thief.” There
were many people around them, fortunately, they made preparations in advance, the master and servant changed their clothes with great effort, Chunrong disguised as Teng Yuyi to stay in the Xuan Pavilion of Hanyao Palace, and Teng Yuyi changed into Chunrong’s clothes to hide it.
Along the way, I met a lot of people, fortunately, Teng Yuyi put a mask on her face, and the people who passed by only thought that she was the handmaiden of a certain lady, and no one looked at her more.
Unexpectedly, an acquaintance approached, this person looked too eye-catching, even if the light in the garden was not as bright as the light in the temple, he could see it at a glance.
Lin Chengyou seemed to be looking for someone, his eyes searched freely in the garden, and teng Yuyi passed by, not even looking at her in the right eye.
Teng Yuyi was relieved, she and Lin Chengyou were also acquaintances, even he couldn’t recognize her, and others didn’t want to recognize her.
Who knew that she walked near the Xiangluan Pavilion, and there were footsteps behind her, and there was a human: “What are you sneaking around?”
Teng Yuyi was shocked at first, and then he was relieved, it was Lin Chengyou.
The man’s eyesight was inevitably too good, and she looked back at him in shock: “Can you still recognize me when I am so disguised?”
Lin Chengyou listened intently and made sure that there was no one around, so he dragged Teng Yuyi to a secluded corner, and said in his heart, his face would not recognize it for a moment and a half, and he recognized it by the fragrance on your body.
He tilted his head and looked at Teng Yuyi: “Can this mask be ripped off?” It’s not very pleasing to the eye. “No
, you can’t.” Teng Yuyi subconsciously covered his cheeks.
Lin Chengyou’s eyes fluttered slightly, and a sentence came to mind: accommodate her.
Even if Teng Yuyi did something strange, he would have to rely on her not.
He smiled and said, “Okay, wear it if you want.”
Teng Yuyi said in his heart, how strange is Lin Chengyou, this is not like his previous style, she looked at him suspiciously, cleared her throat and spoke, Lin Chengyou suddenly made a gesture and smelled: “A hundred flowers? No, the antidote to a hundred flowers. As soon
as the two of them got closer, the faint medicinal smell burst out of Teng Yuyi’s breath, which could not even suppress her rose aroma and went straight to the end of his nose.
Teng Yuyi’s ears exploded, and he looked down at himself in shock, and then looked up at Lin Chengyou, what this person’s nose did, the five senses were inevitably too sensitive.
Lin Chengyou was also looking at Teng Yuyi in surprise, a hundred flowers are a harmful trick, what is Teng Yuyi doing with this.
“Teng Yuyi, you want to harm a hundred flowers-”
Before the words were spoken, another sentence that came out of his mind that he was familiar with: Be extra patient with her.
Hey, almost in front of her and impatient, did not understand the reason to say that she is “harmful”, Teng Yuyi can not be annoyed?
Lin Chengyou had to swallow back the words behind his head again, smiled and bowed his head, “Say, who do you want to tease?” I’ll help you. ”
