Chapter 465 Twists and Turns (2)
Knowing that she was wrong, Luzhu packed up her embroidery needles, stood up, shook her skirt, and followed Lianqiao. Jiang Ruan was adding a few things, and when she saw her coming, she handed over the list: "Look, what else is missing?"
Luzhu took it over with a smile and looked it over quickly, her expression was smiling at first, then she was a little stunned, and at the end she was a little panicked, and said: "Princess, this, this is too precious."
"What are you afraid of?" Jiang Ruan smiled: "It's all from the palace anyway, your prince has plenty of money."
Lian Qiao laughed out loud, what she said was like taking the money from the palace like straw paper. Luzhu rolled her eyes, and although her face softened a little, she still felt a little uneasy and said, "But..." The gift list here is really too expensive for a maidservant, and it is those who follow the most important officials and nobles. The long-term maid may not have this dignity. However, what moved her the most was that there were not only gold and silver inside, but some dowry jewelry and trivial things were also thoughtfully arranged, which required care.
"There's nothing wrong with it." Jiang Ruan interrupted her: "You deserve it."
Luzhu stopped talking, just bit her lips and knelt down slowly, Lianqiao and Jiang Ruan were startled, Luzhu solemnly kowtowed three times to Jiang Ruan, and said: "Princess treats Luzhu with as much kindness as a mountain, Luzhu Without relatives, the princess and concubine are the relatives in Luzhu's heart. Luzhu will definitely serve the concubine well in this life, and will always be by her side."
Jiang Ruan laughed, and said: "Get up, don't kneel down at every turn, there is no such thing as a mountain of kindness, you and I came together from the most difficult time. You survived then, and now is your time to enjoy happiness. Besides It's not a big deal, in the days to come, it's better for you to live well by yourself."
It was Jin Er who was talking about in these words, Luzhu seemed to think of something, and then smiled shyly.
At the same time, Jin Er, whom Jiang Ruan and Luzhu were talking about, was standing in front of a house in an alleyway in Dongcheng. He stepped forward and knocked on the door a few times, and soon, a servant came out and opened the door. After talking to Jin Er for a few words, he went in and took a look. When he walked to the yard, he saw the door of the house was opened, and a short, fat middle-aged woman came out from the inside. The woman was surprised when she saw Jin Er He called out, "Second Young Master."
Jin Er also smiled: "Mother Zhou, why did you come to the capital all of a sudden?"
"The old slave is ordering you to meet someone by Madam's order," Nanny Zhou also smiled. Another person came out from behind the door, this is a young woman, she is also beautiful, with outstanding charm, the style of clothes she is wearing is a few years ago, and the color is a bit whitish, even so, she still looks quite educated, look Looking at Jin Er, he smiled slightly: "Second Young Master."
...
The wind picked up quickly at night, and the cold wind outside blew the windows, but Jingyang Palace was completely silent, occasionally there were a few urgent coughing sounds, which were vague and unreal. Eunuch Li handed over Bai Juan, and said worriedly: "It's cold and dew heavy, Your Majesty should rest earlier."
"There are still many memorials." The emperor waved his hand: "If this goes on, maybe the approval will not be finished..."
"You can't say that." Eunuch Li immediately fell to his knees: "Your Majesty."
"Okay," the emperor laughed first, "I haven't said anything yet, why are you kneeling so hard?" Xu Shi's illness made him look a lot haggard, and his expression of calmness and prestige eased, as if he had been in the past. The domineering spirit faded a lot overnight, showing a bit of an old look. Eunuch Li was taken aback immediately, and felt that the emperor's appearance was very similar to that of the late emperor when he was seriously ill. At that time, he was still a young eunuch, and his adoptive father accompanied the late emperor back home. Now the emperor This demeanor, could it be... Eunuch Li shivered, not daring to think about it.
"Go down, I'll be alone for a while." The emperor said suddenly.
Eunuch Li hurriedly pushed it down.
In the empty hall, there was only a bright yellow figure sitting alone on the soft seat in the center. The emperor's hand rested on the armrest, which was carved into a roaring giant dragon. Reversing the scales, those who touch them will die. He suddenly smiled again, and then pulled out a piece of bright yellow silk from the table on one side, which was an imperial decree.
He thought for a while, picked up a pen and started writing. The emperor wrote very slowly, as if every stroke was very strenuous, but there was no pause in it. Obviously, the content of the imperial decree had been pondered countless times in his heart, so he wrote it calmly. He thought for a while, then picked up another piece of bright yellow silk again, this was another imperial edict, he took a while, and picked up his pen to write down slowly.
The candlelight danced on the emperor's face, and that pale face due to illness was actually very brightly illuminated by the light at the moment, as if the reflection of a dying person, setting off his vigor, for a moment it seemed like Back in my youth, finally, this imperial decree was finished. He slowly raised his hand, picked up the imperial seal on one side, first pressed it on an imperial decree, then lifted it up, as if he was about to take a breath, his fingers unconsciously stroked the dragon head on the imperial seal, his eyes flicked It became a little hazy for a moment, and hummed a country song from nowhere.
"Lang Chunfeng was born in February, my little brother went to Shuiwan City, ouch, who's wife called Qiusheng, going around and going around trying to enter the house..." Such a rural opera in the magnificent hall suddenly sounded a bit strange. Suddenly, the emperor's expression gradually relaxed. He sang slowly, looking at the empty hall in front of him, as if he saw through the void the charming girl who walked from the country road with a medicine box in her arms. Singing and singing, suddenly coughed heavily. The singing stopped abruptly, and he was fascinated by the blood on Bai Juan.
After a while, the emperor slowly closed his eyes, and dropped the imperial seal heavily on another imperial decree: Boom——
...
When Jin Er returned to the mansion, it was already dark. When Fang walked into the yard, he saw a person standing under the tree. The person also saw him, and walked over bouncingly. It was Dewdrop. Luzhu saw him and said, "You weren't here at noon, did you go on a mission?"
Jin Er was startled, then nodded subconsciously, and said, "Yes."
"You won't go to the brothel again to look for the top sister over there, will you?" Luzhu asked intentionally.
Jin Er was asked by Luzhu coldly, his face became a little embarrassed, and he said: "No..."
"Just kidding," Luzhu waved her hand, "Why are you so nervous, I'm not a tigress."
Jin Er couldn't help laughing at the self-comparison of a tigress, patted her on the head, and said, "It's indeed a tigress." After a pause, he asked, "What's the matter that you came here to wait for me?" ?”
Seeing him smiling, Luzhu didn't quarrel with him as usual, she just said: "You look a little different today, probably because you are tired, go back to wash and rest first. I have nothing to do, I just came to see you." Think The word you was swallowed by the dew, and I heard Lianqiao and Jinsan say that women should be more reserved, if everyone speaks out their minds, they will be eaten to death by men in the future. Now she and Jin Er are not married yet, so she can't make him beautiful.
