Chapter 44 Likeness
The sky was getting darker, the lights in the imperial dining room were brightly lit, all the palace people left, and there were not many people left inside.
A young eunuch was dozing off in front of the door, watching a figure approaching from a distance, he was very familiar, stood up hastily, and said courteously to the man: "Is it Mr. Liangyu who came? Just keep it, Eunuch Liu is waiting for you inside."
It's different now than it was six years ago.Now that Qiao Yu has grown up, he is the only one in the Taiqing Palace, and he is the head of the first palace, this status is not very important, the left and right Taiqing Palace is just a forbidden court.But everyone in the palace knew that Liangyu was the godbrother who was in charge of the imperial study, and it hurt like a treasure in the palm of his hand. For this reason, everyone had to carefully curry favor with Liangyu.
Nothing in the palace could be hidden from the ears of Emperor Yuande, he seemed to have asked Xin casually, and she was serving the pen and ink, when he heard the words, he slowly pushed the inkstone, took two steps back, and calmly kowtowed , said frankly: "The slave was originally a person in the concubine Xiande's palace, and so was Liangyu. He entered the palace at a young age, looks cute, fell in love with the slave, and was in charge of him, so he looked after him as he grew up. Yes. Later, the Concubine De concubine passed away, and the Xingzhao Palace was also disbanded. When I met him again, thinking of the past, I took more care of him. The servant knew that he was His Majesty's slave, and Liangyu was from the Taiqing Palace, but It is your will to serve the First Prince, he is also His Majesty's servant, you are the master of the world, servant and Liangyu are just serving you, it is natural to be close to him. Besides, this servant has a clear conscience."
Emperor Yuande looked at him carefully for a long time, then smiled again, "I know you, and I couldn't be more loyal."
He had sent someone to keep an eye on Xinxin in private, and those close to him must know.Xin Xin is not greedy for money, and when other people come to ask him to do something, he will not agree not to accept the gift. If he really can't refuse, he will not return the gift money, so he will accept it with peace of mind, but he will not say a word of kindness.He doesn't like anything else, just good gold, silver and precious stones, and sometimes he is even bold enough to secretly sell the rewards he got from Emperor Yuande.
Confident and loyal, he does things properly and properly, and most importantly, he has desires.
For Emperor Yuande, the eunuch was just a tool.Because Xinxin is very handy and easy to use, he can get some leniency from him, that's all.
Qiao Yu paused, stopped and nodded coldly to the little eunuch.This was taught to him by Jing Yan little by little. Qiao Yujiao is timid and not good at controlling emotions, but walking in the palace like this is not enough, even an eight or nine year old eunuch can see through him.
Jing Yan didn't want Qiao Yu to change, and said to him, "Since Xiaoyu can't pretend, there's no need to pretend."
The best way to not show emotion is to smile and be indifferent.It just so happens that the higher the position of the desired position, Qiao Yu also has a reliance, everyone looks indifferent, never smiles, the little eunuch in the imperial dining room is afraid of Qiao Yu, for fear that he will accidentally offend him , Reported to Xinxin, no one could save them.
But Qiao Yu didn't even remember who they were.
The little eunuch in front led the way to Eunuch Liu.Eunuch Liu is Changle, he stood out from the few apprentices who were in charge of Liu, recognized him as a godfather, and got a good surname.Later Liu Zhangshi became the head of the imperial dining room, and the status of Changle Anping also rose. As long as he was older, at least he could make sense of it, and Changle would be promoted to the position of director.
The two walked into the courtyard, there were red lanterns hanging under the eaves everywhere, Qiao Yu got closer and saw Chang Le talking to a female official.
Without letting the little eunuch behind him inform him, he stopped behind the bushes and glanced over there.The two of them are now under a bright light, just enough for Qiao Yu to see the man's face clearly.She is Ziyun, the eldest maid in Concubine Feng's palace, she is much older than before, and the thick rouge and gouache can't cover the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes.
Startled, Qiao Yu took a step back unconsciously, wanting to leave.He was a little coward when he was a child, and a big coward when he grew up. He pretended to be indifferent and rational, and when he encountered something scary, he showed his original shape, fearing that the people in Shen Yungong would recognize him.
Ziyun has been by Feng Nannan's side for many years, how vigilant he was, when he heard the noise, he immediately shouted, "Who is eavesdropping!"
Qiao Yu was startled when she heard the words, she turned her head instinctively, her footsteps froze in mid-air, unable to step on for a long time.
Should he run or face it, Qiao Yu was faced with the choice between life and death, and in the end he decided to go out.
Ziyun kept staring at that side, her eyes flicked over quickly, Qiao Yu's face was hidden by the lush branches and leaves, only a pair of eyebrows and eyes were exposed.
Her heart stopped, and she always felt a little familiar.
Qiao Yu's fingers were trembling a little, she tried her best to support herself and walked out, she cupped her hands towards Changle, and said calmly, "Eunuch Liu, I am Liangyu from the Taiqing Palace, and I am here to receive the gift of His Majesty's birthday."
Chang Le also acted as if he didn't know it, and even greeted the little eunuch who was following behind him: "Hurry up and take out the things left for Eunuch Liangyu, don't you know how to remember things when you grow up!"
The little eunuch was wronged so much, he was scolded for no reason, he admired him as he ran, and thought, this Liangyu father-in-law deserves to be trained in the Taiqing Palace, he can even be caught eavesdropping on a corner
Ziyun was a little puzzled, but turned around and left without saying anything after all. Some words can be said by two people, but if the third person hears them, they can't count at all.
She was always thinking about the eunuch's eyebrows and eyes along the way, and it was deeply imprinted in her mind. Even when she went back to serve Feng Nannan, she was a little absent-minded. She accidentally scratched Feng Nannan's cheek and was slapped.
Feng Nannan quickly looked at her face in the bronze mirror. She was no longer a young girl in her twenties. She was no longer attractive when she was old. If she had another scar, Emperor Yuande would not come to her.
Ziyun covered her face and secretly looked at Feng Nannan from the corner of her eye.From her perspective, it was Feng Nannan's eyebrows and eyes in the bronze mirror.
That's it.
She knew it, no wonder she always felt a little familiar.
The eunuch's eyebrows and eyes were almost exactly the same as Feng Nannan's, except that those eyes were younger and more delicate.
The Feng family has always been very beautiful, whether it is a man or a woman, they all look alike in appearance, with long brows and round eyes, this is a very difficult look.Other people always look out of shape when they grow on their bodies.
Ziyun shook his head, only caring about the matter in front of him, kept this in his heart, and stopped thinking about it.
On the other side, Qiao Yu was rushing to the Taiqing Palace after receiving fresh fruits and birthday peaches, but there was one person who went ahead of him.
As usual, Jing Yan stood in the courtyard waiting for Qiao Yu to come back, her body was like jade.
Suddenly the locust tree trembled, and a figure jumped down, the movement was very light, as if a breeze blew over the treetops, and three or two leaves fell.He raised his head and looked towards Jing Yan. It was a face like a ghost.
Jing Yan tilted his head, as if he had never heard of it, smiled, and said slowly: "I haven't seen you for many years, I wonder if my uncle is in good health?"
