Wan Yue couldn't help but get angry: "Why are you so careless, don't you go back soon!"

Xinlian looked at Qingchuan in embarrassment and said, "Qingchuan is at the end. I thought she would be locked."

Qingchuan thought that he was indeed the last one just now. Wanyue was urging in the front, but he forgot to lock the door, and said, "Then I will go back and lock it."

Wanyue said: "Alright, it's too late now, Xinlian and I will go first. You have locked the door of the house and come to Ci Ning Palace to find us!"

Qingchuan nodded, turned and ran back to Ganxi No. 4 to lock the door, and hurried to Cining Palace. When it was there, it was still a little late. The maids who came to help clean and pray have arrived, and they are standing there. Several rows in the hall listened to the words of Concubine Dee. Qingchuan just rushed in from the outside in such a reckless manner. Before he had time to react, he heard a grand court lady next to De Fei shout loudly: "Bold slave maid, I won't be polite when you meet De Fei Empress."

Qingchuan was shocked, and squatted down to bow to Concubine De, and said, "The Concubine De is auspicious."

Concubine De Fei sat on a grandmaster's chair, saw Qingchuan rashly come in, and then saw the clothes she was wearing, her original gentle and peaceful face, but now she wore a bit of unpleasant color, frowning slightly. Said: "Why do you wear red on the anniversary of the death of the Queen Mother?"

Qingchuan couldn't help but stunned, and subconsciously looked at Xinlian and Wanyue in the crowd, only to see that they were not wearing the gorgeous clothes they had when they went out together, but plain clothes. When the two of them saw Qingchuan looking at them, they did not consciously avoid Qingchuan's gaze.

Qingchuan understood it all in her heart. She thought that the two of them had found out that they were really planning to be friends with her. It turned out that all the good things in the past few days were pretended to be just to weaken her defenses. My heart, just seized the opportunity to harm her.

Qingchuan's heart was cold, but his mind calmed down, and he quickly figured out what to do to get through the immediate crisis? She knelt down and knocked her head at Concubine De, then said: "Manny, the servant girl didn't mean to be disrespectful to the Queen Mother. The servant girl was just thinking, although the Queen Mother has been away for a long time, it is rare for anyone to come to Cining Palace She cleans. If her soul is still there, she would definitely want to see everyone dressed up, what do you think?"

After hearing a moment of silence, Concubine De nodded slowly, and said: "It makes sense, the Queen Mother really liked bright colors when she was alive. Forget it, my palace won't blame you, you can clean with them."

Qingchuan breathed a sigh of relief in secret, responded softly, walked to the palace maid's line to stand, and followed the lead palace maid's arrangement to start cleaning.

Ci Ning Gong was originally Kangxi's grandmother, the residence of the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang. Kangxi was educated by the Empress Xiaozhuang since he was a child, and his relationship was extremely deep. After the death of the Empress Xiaozhuang, Kangxi once said to Concubine De: the emperor’s grandmother was so kind to me that I had never dared to go to Cining Palace after she left. I'm afraid that every time I go, facing the empty house, I will feel strongly that she is gone. It's better not to go, if that way, you can lie to yourself, and when she is still there, she will feel better in her heart.

Concubine De Concubine has a gentle personality and a keen mind. After listening to these words, she didn't say anything, but since then, on the death day of the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, she would personally come to this Cining Palace to sweep the dust and pray for her blessings. praise.

As soon as the maids started cleaning, there was a bit of choking in the hall, and Concubine De concubine coughed in her throat, and she couldn't stop it. The great palace lady Jade next to her saw it and whispered: "Master, there is so much dust here, you can't suck the dust, so go and sit outside."

De Fei nodded and helped Jade's hand out. The people who cleaned the hall were originally the hands of the people from the Sixth Palace. Coming here to help Concubine De was just to show those rewards, and they all knew that Concubine De was gentle and good-tempered, so they didn’t pay much attention to the cleaning. Concubine De’s forefoot As soon as they left, the maids who cleaned the temple began to lazy.

Seeing that Xinlian and Wanyue didn't frame Cheng Qingchuan, they couldn't help being a little disappointed, and they didn't have any thoughts to clean up. Seeing Concubine De was gone, the two of them swept the dust in the corner indiscriminately, then clapped their hands and said: " Okay, everything is cleaned up, let's go to Defei Empress and go back to life!"

Qingchuan had been cleaning with her head down. He couldn't help it anymore. He glanced at them coldly and asked, "This is called the end of the cleaning?"

Wan Yue curled the corners of her lips and said, "Anyway, Ci Ning Palace is unoccupied, so it's okay to look at it. A fool really works hard here!"

After speaking, he pulled Xinlian away

Qingchuan was unwilling to do this kind of fooling things, so he stayed alone and continued to clean up hard. She swept away the dust everywhere, put it away, washed all the rags, and wiped the furniture.

Outside the hall, Xinlian and Wanyue had reported to De Fei that they had cleaned everything in the hall. De Fei complimented them and found that Qingchuan hadn't come out together, so she couldn't help asking: "Where is the girl in red?"

Wanyue was flexible in his mind and quickly replied: "She's almost done with that part before she finishes it."

After saying this, just in time for Qingchuan to take the dirty water out and pour it out. Hearing the words, he said coldly, "What is a little bit too close, there are still many places inside that have not been cleaned up."

De Fei frowned and looked at Xinlian and Wanyue.

Xinlian hurriedly called: "Manny, don't listen to her. This woman is the worst. We managed to clean it up. She must have gotten dirty again on purpose to frame us."

Wanyue also said to the side: "Yes, Niang Niang, this character is very poor, you see, she actually wears red on the anniversary of the death of the Queen Mother, it's a crime worthy of death. By the way, she still reads " "Jin Ping Mei" is simply shameless."

De Fei was surprised when she heard this, and said in surprise: "Really?"

Xinlian replied: "Really, Niang Niang Xiu punished her for this matter yesterday. Niang Niang will find out after asking."

Qingchuan listened to it from the side, and then realized that the two of them did the "Jin Ping Mei" thing, which caused her to go to the eighth prince to settle the account. Seeing that the two of her were still slandering herself again, Qingchuan put down the bucket, and pointed at them a few steps forward and cursed: "You, and you, are really snake-hearted and extremely bad. First, replace my book with "Jin Ping Mei", and you want me to come here wearing a red dress. Are you not reconciled if I am not dead?"

After finishing talking, he knelt down in front of Concubine De, and said: "Niang Niang, it was her two who lied to me that you are short of manpower for cleaning and praying here. You can get the gift from Niang Niang when you come, and said that you need to wear red clothes."

Xinlian and Wanyue heard that Qingchuan had filed a complaint with Concubine De, both frightened and frightened, and hurriedly said: "Manny, don't listen to her nonsense."

Concubine De was annoyed by their quarrels, but she seldom got angry with others, so she just faintly frowned, and said coldly: "Okay, all of you get up, I don't need you here. Yes, you all go back."

Qingchuan, Xinlian, and Wanyue were all taken aback.

The jade beside Concubine De was already coldly said: "Don't hurry up!"

Xinlian and Wanyue looked at Concubine De Fei timidly, kowtowed, and walked away in frustration. Qingchuan thought for a while, but raised the bucket, turned around and returned to the hall.

"Hey!" Jade stopped her, "Why are you still not leaving? Didn't the empress tell you to go back? What are you doing?"

Qingchuan looked back at her faintly, and said, "I don't like doing things halfway. I just clean up some of them. I will leave when I finish."

When these words came out, Concubine De and others were all a little surprised. Jade looked at Concubine De and then said to Qingchuan: "You will not be rewarded again after you are done!"

Qingchuan replied calmly: "I don't do things to ask for rewards, I just want to be worthy of my conscience," she said and glanced at Concubine De, who had been coughing lightly, and couldn't help saying: "The lady has a bad voice. Go into a place with too much dust, if you must go in, it will be better to sprinkle water first."

After speaking, he carried water into the hall.

Defei looked at Qingchuan's back and entered the hall, but nodded gently, and whispered to Jade: "This girl is more sincere than others."

Qingchuan, who worked hard in the hall, also had some small calculations in her heart. She had completely broken with Xinlian and Wanyue, and Xi Bie is also annoyed by the "Golden Ping Mei" incident. If she can win this time Concubine De has a good impression, not to mention that she is the mother of the future Emperor Yongzheng. This is a big tree, with a big tree backed to enjoy the cool! Isn't it just work? Anyway, since she entered the Forbidden City, she has not worked less, so hard work is not a big deal!

Qingchuan thought about it so that he didn't feel tired after working, and he cleaned the entire hall carefully before leaving. Concubine De was still sitting outside the hall, Qingchuan didn't ask her for any rewards, only kowtow to her again and got up and left.

When passing by the imperial garden, for some reason, Qingchuan couldn't help but walk around the small pavilion again, and the scene of the man playing the piano seemed to flash before his eyes. Qingchuan couldn't help but smiled, hammering his sore arm, and muttering to himself in a low voice, "What's wrong with me? I always think about what he is doing!"

Although he said this, he still couldn't help but sat down in the pavilion, looking at the rockery in front of him in a daze, and suddenly someone asked from the side: "What's the matter? Why are you here? Are you wronged again? "

Qingchuan heard the sound and turned his head and looked over. He was taken aback and rubbed his eyes in disbelief. He saw that the person in front of him had not disappeared, but was still standing outside the pavilion. It was the handsome guard who saw her reacting like this. He smiled with his lips bent, and walked into the pavilion with a guqin in his arms.

Qingchuan was still a little stunned, no, she just thought about him, and he appeared? I couldn't help but panic in my heart, and hurriedly asked in a concealed manner: "Don't you need to be on duty today?"

The man was stunned when he heard the words, but did not answer right away. He just set the piano in the pavilion, sat on the ground, looked up at Qingchuan, and replied, "Forget it. What's wrong with you? Are you bullied again?"

Qingchuan shook his head quickly, "No, last time you said you don't play the piano, I thought you wouldn't come again."

The man smiled faintly and said: "I was in a bad mood that time, so I just said casually, how can there be no piano in my life? Do you want to hear me play another song?"

Qingchuan only saw him a few times in total, but rarely saw him smile like today. He felt a little strange in his heart, but when he laughed, the gloomy color was swept away, and his tough facial features suddenly became a lot more vivid and even more elegant. calm. Qingchuan couldn't help but feel happy when he saw it, and nodded hurriedly, "Okay!"

The man started to caress the piano and played a very light tune. Qingchuan squatted to the side and listened intoxicated. After the song was over, he couldn't help but applaud: "It sounds good, it sounds really good! What kind of music is this?"

The man curled his lips and replied, "This is my own composition, I played it randomly."

Qingchuan was surprised and admired, and blurted out in praise: "You are really good, not only good at martial arts, but also composing music. Isn't this a literary and military talent?"

The man couldn't help but laughed, "You like it, I will teach you."

Qingchuan was taken aback, and hurriedly waved his hands: "I... I haven't touched the piano, I don't know how to play, forget it, forget it!

"It's okay," the man said, already pulling Qingchuan's arm and pulling her over, and the arm passed around her back, and Qingchuan's hand was gently pressed on the string, "You follow me and play it. All right."

Qingchuan was so nervous that his heart was about to jump out of his throat, wherever he dared to move, he could only sit stiffly beside him, with his hands slowly playing on the strings with his fingers. When he finished playing a piece of music, Qingchuan was already sweating on his forehead, so he hurriedly pulled out of his arms and said: "It's getting late, I have to go back, and learn later!"

He didn't dare to look at him as he said, and quickly ran out of the pavilion with his head down. Not far from the pavilion, he ran into Xinlian head-on. Xinlian was hit by Qingchuan and staggered, and said angrily: "Qingchuan! You don't have eyes! What run!" She looked suspiciously at the pavilion, "Who are you playing the piano with? Are you in love with you? ?I tell you… "

Before she finished speaking, Xinlian stopped abruptly, her face suddenly turned pale, and she squatted down to the person in the pavilion, and said with a trembling voice: "Fourth brother is auspicious, and the slave-maid’s eyes are clumsy. Brother Si, please forgive me."

Qingchuan was taken aback, a little silly, and looked back at the pavilion in disbelief. Is he the fourth elder brother? Si elder brother Yinzhen? The future Emperor Yongzheng? Do you want to do this? The Emperor Yongzheng taught me how to play the piano himself. Qingchuan had five flavors and a hundred Chen in his mind for a while, and he didn't know what to do.
