Chapter 25: One Policy First, Sisters' Plan
These ten days were the busiest days since Deng Sui entered the palace.
Every day, you either choose materials or study menus. You also have to compare the bamboo slips recorded in the palace to see which prince has any taboos and which concubine cannot touch any ingredients.
During this toss, even the dress was a little looser and the person lost several laps.
"It's not too early for me. I asked someone to prepare fragrant soup. You can take a bath to relieve your fatigue and go to bed earlier." Tuo Ye was careful after all, for fear that his master would be exhausted.
Deng Sui felt inexplicably better when he thought of taking a comfortable bath in the warm bathtub. "Okay, I'm tired these days and have no appetite. Today's things are almost done. I just wait until the glutinous rice is sent to the palace tomorrow. Let's lead the maids to make more rice dumplings, and nothing else will be."
"Yes." Sirou put down her gradual steps: "Liu Sishen is an old man in the palace, and he is proper and does his best everywhere. I checked the records on the bamboo slips, which were exactly the same as what Liu Sishen said, and there was no subtle difference."
Meishu nodded, "Yes. I have also gone to see the ingredients and dry goods they prepared, everything is good. It can be seen that Liu Sishen is doing his best to do his job for the lady."
"Yes." Deng Sui stretched and rubbed his eyes: "It's about to be the Dragon Boat Festival. After the busiest days, it's a good time to have a lot of leisure. You two should take a break, and accompany me to the bathroom to take a shower."
"No." The three girls responded together, each smiling.
As soon as he walked out the door, he saw Gong Tai coming towards him: "The noble man Changle Weiyang, the Yang Gongren in Feng Meiren Palace in Anfu Palace has come, saying that there is something important to ask for the noble man."
"Then please invite her in." Deng Sui thought for a moment: "I'll see her in the side hall."
"No." Gong Tai quickly retreated.
Tuo Yen was a little surprised: "Why did the Yang Gongren come by himself? Could it be that there is something important?"
"I'll know later." Deng Sui calmly took Duan's hand and walked down the stairs step by step. The sound of clogs stepping on the brick floor was very nice, and it felt comfortable.
And this comfort was wiped out after seeing the Yang Palace people.
"Welcome to the noble man, I came here recklessly, and I abruptly. Please forgive me." Angelababy's urgent face turned blue, her eyes were red, and she looked very pitiful.
"Why is Sister Yang so anxious? What happened?" Deng Sui looked at her with confusion: "Sister, why don't you talk to me."
"Please beg you to save me." Angelababy knelt on the ground, unable to hold back for a moment, and tears fell down.
Deng Sui felt more and more uneasy when she saw her panic. "Tu Ye, go and pour a cup of hot tea to suppress Sister Yang's shock."
"No." Duo Yan retreated respectfully.
In this way, there were no one else in the side hall. Deng Sui asked again: "What is the matter? If my sister doesn't tell me, how can I help?"
The Yang Palaceman looked at her with tears in his eyes and said sadly: "The Dragon Boat Festival is a festive festival, and I blame me for being bad, so I insisted on showing off at this time. I promised Meiren Feng to embroider some sachets by myself, and to give them to the sisters in the palace as auspicious items during the banquet, as well as the princess and wives who came to attend the banquet. Originally, I had embroidered more than twenty, but... but it was so unexpected..."
The more she talked, the more she was, the more she was, and the Yang Palaceman looked at Guiren Deng with tears in her eyes. She didn't know whether Guiren Deng would help her, but she felt that this was her last hope.
"What's wrong?" Deng Sui couldn't help but worry: "Tell me slowly."
"I always do some embroidery work, secretly let my close maids give to slaves who often leave the palace to sell them. Earn some money to supplement the expenses in the palace, and send some to my mother's house to take care of my family. After all, my concubine's position is low, so there is no monthly silver at all." Speaking of this, Angelababy kept wiping her tears, feeling sad and didn't know how to express: "But my close maids don't know what's going on, and actually mixed up the bags that were going to be sent out of the palace with the ones with the sachets. The bags were sent out last night, and it's been a whole day. Even if I stayed asleep, I couldn't embroider so many sachets in just a few days... But on the other end, Feng Meiren had already made a promise that I could embroider well. If this matter was not done, I would probably be implicated even Feng Meiren!"
The more she spoke, the more sad she felt, and tears fell like rain.
Deng Sui couldn't help but worry when he heard this: "Don't be anxious first, I have an emergency solution."
"I would like to ask for advice from my nobles." Angelababy couldn't help but raise her head and her eyes lit up.
"There are also many sachets in the palace, so please go and ask for some. Although my servants' skills are not as good as yours, you have to take them and improve them, and do them more appropriately." Deng Sui knew in his heart that the best way was to get back the things that Angelababy had embroidered before. "The meals have been prepared all these days. I'll ask Duye and they will help with it. First respond."
Angelababy really has no other way: "I won't hide it from noble people, there is another thing... I have to ask you for help. Meiren Feng still doesn't know the disappearance of the sachet. After all, it's related to her credibility, so I dare not tell you rashly. But there are not many fragrances that Meiren Feng gave me to me. Even if there are sachets, it's not enough to fill."
"Let's do it." Deng Sui thought for a while: "Write down all the flowers and spices you need in the sachet, maybe I can think of a solution."
Angelababy couldn't help but be moved: "Negotiable, you are really kind-hearted. I have not known you very well, but you have treated me so kindly, and I am very grateful. In the future, I will do my best to be a noble person and repay the noble person's great kindness."
"Okay, get up quickly." Deng Sui stepped forward and helped her. "It's getting late. I have to work hard to write down the recipe of the flowers first and then give me a sachet style. I can ask someone to prepare it by the way."
"No." Angelababy wiped her tears and stood up.
At this time, Tuoyan also returned and handed over the hot tea.
"You take Yang Gong people to the side room, write down the recipe for the flower materials, and then ask Gong Tai to find it." Deng Sui thought to himself, he was afraid he would not be able to take a bath at this moment.
Angelababy took out a sachet embroidered today from her arms and handed it to Deng Sui: "Negotiable, this is what I embroidered today, and there is only one on my body. Let's leave it to the noble."
"Okay." Deng Sui took it and couldn't help comforting her: "Don't be anxious when things have come to this point. In any case, we can still try to make up for it."
"I understand." Angelababy bowed again with gratitude before following Duan.
Meishu came in with hot tea and frowned and asked, "Why do you want to help this Yang Gongren? You have no friendship with her. Besides, we are too busy with our own affairs. How can we have the kung fu clone to do something else?"
"It's also very pitiful." Deng Sui couldn't help but sigh: "The rules of the Han Palace that the concubines who are less than those with a female companion are not in monthly terms. Not only are there no monthly terms, they also have to work and do things. To put it bluntly, there is no difference between them and slaves. Although it is inappropriate to sell items in the Silk Palace, there is no other way. This matter also involves Meiren Feng, so why bother causing a storm for no reason?"
Seeing the lady seemingly made up her mind, Meishu stopped talking. She had a premonition that things might not go so smoothly this time. And the more it was not going well, the more people would look at Jiade Palace. Maybe the lady wouldn't be thinking about avoiding favors. "It's getting late, I'll prepare fragrant soup for the lady."
"Forget it, the fragrant soup is gone. Come quickly to get silk and colorful silk threads, and I will make one according to this sachet." Deng Sui rubbed his swollen brain: "This Dragon Boat Festival is really a tiring festival. Fortunately..."
Fortunately, the emperor has been going to Yongle Palace these days and has not caused trouble, otherwise how would she deal with it?
It was getting dark, and Deng Sui worked with a few girls under the lamp. This situation often happened when her mother's family. She used to like reading books that only men could read. Her mother said that reading was OK, but her daughter's family must be proficient in the girl's red family. So every night, she learned to embroidery with Sirou, Meishu and others. Meishu grew up in the mountains since she was young and had never touched a needle before she was eight years old.
But after my mother's training, everything is now done exquisitely.
Thinking about his mother's family, Deng Sui couldn't help laughing.
"Miss, why are you laughing at?" Sirou couldn't help but be curious: "Tell us too."
"I remember when I was in the mansion, we were also lighting the lamps and staying up late to do embroidery work." Deng Sui's smile was warm, and a jumping fire reflected in his pupils. "That was the time when we were really carefree."
Sister Yin Lingyue was also not sleeping.
"How is the matter going?" Yin Lingyue fiddled with a string of white mutton fat jade beads on her wrist, and raised her eyebrows and asked.
The lights made her skin delicate and warm orange light, which made people feel comfortable when they saw it and couldn't bear to look away.
"Don't worry, sister, Deng has started making sachets." Yao Jiaer smiled lightly. "She is cautious enough. These days, she has read all the bamboo slips in the palace. She knows everything who likes and doesn't like. She is indeed a character that is not easy to deal with."
Yin Lingyue sneered in her heart, is this called amazing?
"Of course, even if she has all kinds of plans, she can't beat you cousin." Yao Jiaer must brag about it. "Cousin, if you move your fingers a little, her life will be difficult. Dragon Boat Festival is a big festival. If something goes wrong, your Majesty will have no face to face the princes. At that time, you will have to vent your grudges on Deng. By that time, there will be a good show."
Even if she and Yao Jiaer were the only ones, Yin Lingyue was unwilling to say anything so bluntly. "Your Majesty Xu is reluctant to punish her."
"Cousin, you are so worried. She has been able to enter the palace for so long. Your Majesty has only visited her once. I have already inquired in detail. The next morning, let alone Xipa, I didn't even prepare pain relief medicine. Your Majesty didn't take her seriously at all. Why should you worry, cousin? It's just because she is of good background."
When it comes to origin, Yin Lingyue can't help but think of another thing.
Her eyes fell on Yao Jiaer's abdomen inadvertently and frowned, "You and I are also blessed. After three years of service, I have not even found anything. This is the most annoying thing. Zhou Meiren, Feng Meiren, Liao Meiren, and Liu Meiren have all given birth to princesses. Our sisters have received much more favor than them, but why are there no movement..."
Yao Jiaer couldn't help but look embarrassed: "Okay, why did my cousin think of these?"
"Didn't you mention your origin just now? Although Deng is the daughter of the Deng family, her mother is also the niece of Queen Yin. You say... Did the Yin family see me being favored in the palace for many years and have no children before sending her to the palace? After all, she gave birth to a child, and she also has the Yin family's blood."
Thinking of this, Yin Lingyue's eyes tightened: "By that time, her identity will be more expensive than mine. Behind them are the Yin family and the Deng family, and there are royal heirs under their knees. What a great thing. We can't even envy them."
"Cousin, what are you talking about?" Yao Jiaer clenched her fists in anger: "She is worthy. So what if she is the daughter of the Yin and Deng families? If you want to get pregnant with a dragon descendant and become the lord of the harem, huh, you have to ask your cousin if you agree."
"Oh." Yin Lingyue sighed in frustration: "I'm afraid I don't have the ability."
"Cousin, you are as beautiful as a fairy and smart as a wise man. How could you not have such skills? And although I am humble, I will also try my best to share my worries for my cousin. Deng Guiren is definitely not your and me." Yao Jiaer thought for a while and said, "There is also that beauty Zhou. Last time my cousin sent her child back, wasn't she happy and grateful? Even if she didn't really do her job for her cousin, she would still be willing to take care of her young son."
"I hope." Yin Lingyue looked at the sky: "It's so late, why didn't An Gu come in and reply? Where did Your Majesty go tonight?"
Yao Jiaer frowned and said reluctantly: "Actually, when I brought my cousin's nest over, Mo Li had already said it. I was afraid that you wouldn't have the appetite to hear me, so I didn't say it. Your Majesty, go see Meiren Liao."
"I went to Deyang Palace again." Yin Lingyue calculated that in the past half month, His Majesty visited Liao Meiren four times. He had only come to his place five times. He had never been to the other concubines. "Jia'er, what's wrong with you recently?"
"Me?" Yao Jiaer showed a hint of embarrassment: "I'm not that good!"
"Then think about what you should do." Yin Lingyue was slightly serious and her tone seemed stern: "Your Majesty hasn't visited you recently, so don't you think about yourself? Although this year's talent show only selected a few insignificant ones, the harem has added Deng and Wang. If you don't care, you'll be afraid that your Majesty will really be forgotten by your Majesty in the future."
Yao Jiaer felt sad. "My cousin taught her lesson, but... I don't know how I offended His Majesty. In the past few months, His Majesty has never been to my palace to sit."
Speaking of this, the grievances surged up. Yao Jiaer bit her lips and knelt down: "I would like to ask my cousin to guide my sister. There is no favor in this palace. I never hope that Your Majesty can have me in his heart, but I can't just endure it."
"It's good if you know." Yin Lingyue thought about it carefully: "Your Majesty hasn't been to your place for three or four months, and you just know how to cry now. It's better to think about it carefully. Three or four months ago, what did you do wrong? Your Majesty has always been clear about rewards and punishments, and even if it's not a harem. I guess it's because of the relatives that you will remain silent. This is to give you the opportunity to admit your mistakes yourself."
"This...I..." Yao Jiaer looked confused.
"No hurry." Yin Lingyue said quietly: "We will deal with the Dragon Boat Festival first these days. The rest of the long-term plan is fine. Your Majesty comes to me later, and I will try to ask the reason. Your Majesty will make it clear. In short, be cautious when doing things yourself, and don't make your Majesty unhappy. As for Concubine Deng, be cautious when speaking in front of her in the future, so as not to ask people to catch the handle. When you make trouble in front of Your Majesty, I may not be able to protect you."
"No." Yao Jiaer's face with pear blossom was full of gratitude: "Fortunately, you have cousin, you feel sorry for me, otherwise Jiaer really doesn't know how to hold on."
"You help me, I protect you. No matter who has children, our sisters will be the hope of the Yin and Yao families." Yin Lingyue said in a move: "If you and my sister are not united, how can you gain a foothold in this deep palace? Jiaer, I can only trust you in this huge Han Palace."
"Jia'er will never let down her cousin's trust." Yao Jia'er squeezed hatred in her hand: "Whoever dares to stop her cousin from being crowned queen will be unable to get along with anyone. She must do her best to help her cousin seize the harem. Only when her cousin is good can Jia'er be good."
Yin Lingyue smiled warmly: "It's not too early, you go back early to rest."
"No." Yao Jiaer wiped away her tears, turned around and retreated.
Mo Li sent her away and returned. "It's getting late, so I'll wait for the lady to wash and bed?"
"I can't sleep." Yin Lingyue felt bored and always felt powerless. "I'm afraid that two-pronged approach will not shake that nobleman Deng. At that time, not only will I take the time to take the time, but I will also ask her to open her eyes and hate us."
"No." Mo Li said confidently: "This pair-pronged approach will cause two things to distract Deng Guiren. Even if she has the ability to do it, it is impossible to turn none into existence or none. But I don't understand why the nobleman didn't tell Yao Meiren about this? Are you afraid that she... will leak the news, or have other concerns?"
Yin Lingyue pursed her soft lips and smiled coldly: "How can I not know her thoughts? Didn't she just want to rely on the big tree to ride on the shade? Now I am pampering the scenery, so she naturally obeys and pleases her in every way. But if there is a future, Mo Li will definitely be the first person to stand up and stab me. Sometimes the closer you are, the more you have to be more careful. Who knows when she will bite the people close to her because of her own interests!"
"It's better for the lady to have a thoughtful idea." Mo Li had to admire Yin Guiren's strategy. "But, since the lady can't trust her, she might as well keep her like this. There are people in the palace who can share your worries, so why keep her by your side and take such risks?"
