Chapter 1047: Confidant
Min Guiren followed Queen Zhou to listen to a day's class, and when he came back, he completely changed his previous thoughts and praised Ji Yu deeply.
"No wonder the queen has so much respect for Mr. Ji, it turns out that Mr. Ji is really so knowledgeable and admirable."
Min Guiren didn't know how many times he had said it in Queen Zhou's ear, and Queen Zhou couldn't help laughing, "It's a good thing that you're so studious." When I go to Mr. Ji for advice, I always take you with me, what do you think? ”
"Thank you, Queen."
Min Guiren's smile was heartfelt, and Queen Zhou realized that Min Guiren's temperament slowly returned to the cheerful appearance when she first entered the palace, and I have to say that this is a good thing.
Queen Zhou was quite pleased, it seems that after arriving at the Imperial Garden, she was riding a horse and archery and learning literature, which really made Min Guiren a lot happier.
Not only the Min nobles, but also the other concubines - except for Concubine Li.
At the same time, Concubine Li was braving the heat and going out to an inconspicuous pavilion by the lake.
The pavilion was empty on weekdays, and two days ago, because Kabuki were summoned into the garden to perform for the Queen Mother, those Kabuki were temporarily allowed to live so that the Queen Mother could be summoned again.
At this moment, you can still hear faint music coming from there, and it seems that the kabuki are rehearsing.
Yan'er took Concubine Li's hand and walked forward, reminding in a low voice, "Niangniang, there is the place where those Kabuki live in front of you, do you want to go over?" ”
"I'm not going to go."
Concubine Li smiled, "I couldn't participate in the activities of the concubines riding horses and archery, so I had to walk around the lake and walk around, and I inadvertently walked to the place where Kabuki lived, understand?" ”
Yan'er nodded weakly, "The slave understands." ”
Today, the concubines and concubines went to the woods to ride horses and shoot arrows, and the garden looked empty, and there were no people walking along the lake.
Slowly walking to the outside of the Xuan Pavilion where Kabuki lived, Concubine Li pricked up her ears and listened, and heard a small song, "Autumn twilight." Sprinkle the decay lotus, and the pearl rains. The rain passed over the moon and Watson, and the cold was through the Mandarin Duck Pu. Chishang has no couple. Nai this, monolithic emotion. But there are parrots in golden cages. Nian Fan Lang ......"
The singing is mournful and tactful, with some ambiguous atmosphere.
Concubine Li smiled, "This is Liu Yong's autumn twilight, and the best sentence is that the rain passes through the moon and Huasheng, and the cold is through the Mandarin Duck Pu." It's a pity that the grievances in this sentence were not sung tactfully, but the last sentence was sung too sadly, and some grievances were lost. ”
The two of them were standing outside the door talking, and someone had already heard it, and when they came over to take a look, they were a little surprised to see a gorgeously dressed woman with a palace maid.
Yan'er stepped forward and said, "This is Concubine Li's mother." ”
The people who live here are all Kabuki, I didn't expect a noble person to visit, the old servant hurriedly saluted, "I've seen Concubine Li Niangniang, I don't know what important thing Concubine Li is coming?" ”
"It's nothing, this palace is just wandering by, and I heard the moving singing, so I just came to take a look."
The old servant hurriedly stepped out of the way, "Niangniang is here, we are flattered, please Niangniang." ”
These Kabuki are usually outside, and they don't know much about the things in the Imperial Garden, so they naturally don't know which of the concubines is favored and which is not.
They only knew that Concubine Li was a mother, and her name sounded bluffing, so they didn't dare to slack off.
Concubine Li enjoys rare respect here, and because she came with a purpose, she took the initiative to analyze the meaning of the lyrics and songs with those singers, and taught them how to sing more movingly.
The singers' singing voices are naturally good, but because they haven't read the book and don't understand the meaning of the words, they can't inevitably sing affectionately, and it's much better with Concubine Li's guidance.
Concubine Li was instructing them, when she suddenly heard Yan'er cough lightly, she turned around, only to see a man in a green shirt standing behind.
It's Ji Yushen.
She really waited for Ji Yushen.
……
There was a simple wooden table and three or four chairs in the water pavilion near the water, and Ji Yushen invited Concubine Li to sit and poured tea for her by himself.
"Why did Concubine Li come over today, it's really a rare guest."
Ji Yushen poured a cup of tea, gently pushed it to her, and poured another one for herself.
In this process, Concubine Li has been quietly looking at Ji Yushen, seeing that he is full of luxury and natural with every move, not like a male pet at all.
It's like a young talent in the middle of the court, or the kind that is in a high position at a young age.
"It's just a leisurely walk here, and please Mr. Ji don't blame the palace for being abrupt."
"No, it won't."
Ji Yushen smiled faintly and didn't say anything.
Based on his understanding of Concubine Li's news, Concubine Li is arrogant, and she doesn't even disdain to interact with those concubines from lower backgrounds, how can she be willing to associate with these humble Kabuki?
If Concubine Li has no other purpose, who believes it?
Ji Yushen knew it in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, anyway, Concubine Li couldn't help but say it after all.
He didn't ask, Concubine Li was really anxious.
She picked up the teacup and said tentatively, "Mr. Ji personally practiced here for the Queen Mother, and he was practical and well-intentioned, so the Queen Mother must have been very moved." ”
"It's just a trivial matter, how can it be moved."
Ji Yushen took a sip of tea, and his face was light and clear.
Concubine Li said: "A trivial matter? It's not a trivial matter. That night I heard the sound of singing and dancing in the garden, and I also went out for a walk, and saw that the dance was very unique, and it was a silhouette looking from one side of the lake to the other side, and it looked graceful, as if it were a strange conjure in the trees. ”
"Because the Queen Mother and Mr. Ji were watching by the lake, I didn't get closer, but went to the shore of the performance to watch. Only then did I discover the real subtlety of this dance, it turned out that their movements were completely for the silhouette service, and it was not good to look at it up close. Such a dance that is completely contrary to common sense, Mr. must have put a lot of thought into it. ”
Ji Yushen narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he was looking at Concubine Li with his eyes.
Concubine Li was in her chest and let her look at it.
She guessed that Ji Yushen must have been surprised and admired by her at this moment, and even had a deep feeling of meeting a confidant.
Because the Queen Mother, who is bent on pleasing him, may not be able to see the subtlety of this dance, but only as an ordinary one of his various tricks, and may not be able to solve his good intentions.
And you can.
For a talented person like Ji Yushen, who is full of poetry and books, being understood is the most touching feeling, and at this point, Concubine Li has enough confidence to be his confidant.
Ji Yushen nodded as expected, "Concubine Li is a good woman, but I'm afraid that there are few people in the garden who can have such insight as Niangniang." In the next tea instead of wine, toast a cup of mother. ”
"Please."
Concubine Li picked up the teacup, everything was as she expected, which made her very satisfied.
And Ji Yushen covered his face with wide sleeves and sipped tea, but there was a mocking smile under the shadow.
