20. The goddess has no intention (8)

A crisp and crisp voice sounded, a palace maid wearing a silver-gray gown bent over, held the tea tray over her head, and respectfully came in from outside, because it was in the first month, the palace maids were allowed to wear dark red, and the palace maid had two knives combed on her head, and a turquoise hairpin was inserted obliquely, and there were several strings of pearl tassels with rice grains on it, and the ears were silver earrings with plum blossom patterns, and there was no other decoration at all, what did it look like with her head down, but her hands were white, and Emperor Tongzhi was familiar with this name. For a while, I couldn't think of who it was, but when I saw Guilian come in, I put the teacup on the table, and when I got closer, the emperor smelled a few traces of plum blossoms, so he was interested, picked up the teacup, and took a sip, "Guilian?" Heads up? ”

Mei Xin was helping the Queen Mother remove her makeup and tidy up her pair, and she had no time to take care of the emperor's side for a while, Guilian, who lowered her head, did not dare to disobey the emperor's intentions, "Yes," so she raised her head, the emperor was her little girl who was here in the Empress Dowager Ci'an before, and she hadn't seen her for many days, but her eyebrows were beautiful, "I was still a little girl before, why do I go to the inner hall to serve tea now?" Emperor Tongzhi said with a smile. ☆→,

"It was the Queen Mother's compassion for the slaves and maids, so that the slaves and maids were allowed to enter the inner hall to serve."

"Well, this tea is good," Emperor Tongzhi took a sip of tea and said approvingly, "A person with a heart." ”

Gui Lian had already lowered her head, and when she heard the emperor's praise, she hurriedly bent her knees slightly, and blessed a blessing, "Long live the praise, the slave is ashamed." ”

"The words are also clear," Emperor Tongzhi put down the bowl, so he chatted with Guilian without a match, and asked where he was from, had he ever studied, and did he have brothers and sisters at home? Where did I go, I heard that Gui Lian came from Zhangjiakou, the emperor thought of the scenery outside the plug for a while, and had something on his mind, so he didn't continue to ask, Gui Lian didn't hear the emperor's orders, so he took a few steps back, turned around and prepared to go out, didn't think about it, Zai Cheng rushed in in a hurry, and almost didn't hit Gui Lian's body, Gui Lian ouched, fell to the ground, Emperor Tongzhi frowned slightly, put down the bowl heavily, and shouted at Zai Cheng, "You are a killer, are you in a hurry to reincarnate?" It's so hot! He said softly to Guilian, "Have you ever fallen and hurt?" ”

Guilian hurriedly got up and blessed again, "The slave is fine." He looked up and stepped back.

Zai Cheng stared at Guilian's back, and the Empress Dowager Ci'an and Mei Xin, who were busy in front of the dresser, said a few words in the emperor's ear, and the originally lazy emperor suddenly became interested, "It's done?" ”

"Yes, just wait for the emperor to come over." Zai Cheng gritted his teeth and said softly.

The emperor got off the kang, walked through the curtain, and said to Ci'an, "Eniang, the emperor asked me to go to the Palace of Nourishing Hearts." ”

The Empress Dowager Ci'an was surprised and said, "Didn't my sister let you not have to go over?" Why are you going again? ”

"Xu is a military emergency."

"So there are so many people here, what should I do? The queen mother wants to give a banquet, and it is not appropriate for you to be absent, emperor. ”

"It's okay," Emperor Tongzhi said with a smile, "It won't take much time over there, and my son will be able to come in a while." ”

Emperor Tongzhi then took Zaicheng out of the inner hall, and there was a series of voices from the nobles outside, Mei Xin saw that there was no one in the inner hall, and smiled at the Empress Dowager Ci'an, "Long live the Lord is not ordinary to Guilian." ”

The Empress Dowager Ci'an put down the gold thread on her head and shook her head, "You stare at it, when the emperor comes, let Guilian wait, just the same, don't go big pleats!" ”

"The slave knows." (To be continued......)
