[Baiyutang] Wind-dried clothes

The water tore off half of the crystal from the ladle, and poured down in one go, and a slight white mist rose up, mixing with the green smoke from the golden beast.The wet hair is like shiny green silk, draped over the back of the red sandalwood chair, the upper part hangs down the water flow, and the lower part falls into the copper basin, dyeing the clear water in the basin into black.One hand held up the wet hair from underneath, and the other hand held the handle of the ladle. With a tilt of the hand, the water poured down again.

"Sanniang's hair has grown a bit longer." The ladle holder said softly.

"Yi Lang doesn't even think about it, he can feel that my concubine's hair has grown, why is it?" The woman on the supine chair twisted her hands and slightly stroked her five fingers, and the warm water pouring from the ladle hooked and touched the plain white fingertips, splashing Make a slice.

"San Niang blames me." The ladle bearer laughed softly.

The maid beside Hou Li handed over the cloth towel, and the ladle holder took it, rubbing it from the root of the woman's hair, and rubbing it down all the way.A cloth towel was soaked, and another maid handed it a dry one.After a stick of incense, it finally became half dry.The person carrying the ladle wiped the water droplets from his hands with a cloth towel.The woman got up, and her black and wet hair was scattered on the back of the beanie, dyeing the light and bright silk beanie with a thick circle of color.

The maid secretly raised her eyes, looked at half of the sleeve of the ladle holder, and said in a low voice: "The official's coat is wet."

"It doesn't matter," the ladle holder held the wet hair behind the woman, "it's Sanniang, don't be particular about this, and don't be careful that your body will be blown through the hall."

The woman didn't even turn her head, she just said: "Summer is coming, the wind is hot and the sun is hot, I don't think it's cool enough."

After leaving the gate of the palace, the two walked side by side in the shade supported by the double eaves, followed by a group of slaves serving Huangmen.The woman clutched the crimson sleeves of the person next to her, who was wet in a circle, and said: "It really doesn't look very refreshing."

But the people around said: "I happened to have sex with Sanniang's Qingsi, what's wrong with it."

It was really hot, and the noise of the cicadas sounded thirsty, and the rockeries and trees near and far were all shadowed by the heat.The woman's hair gradually evaporated from the moisture in the hot air.The people around spread their five fingers and ran along her hair, looking down all the way, they felt like entering the water, it was soft and cool, and they couldn't catch their fingers.The people around couldn't help sighing: "Sanniang's black hair is so smooth that she doesn't even need a comb."

The woman said: "But it's not good either. I can't fit the beaded jade hairpin that Yilang gave me, and it fell apart after a few steps."

The two turned to sit in the hall again, and a group of maidservants placed a circle of fruit cold brew on the table.Mrs. Combing Hair looked forward and asked tentatively: "Officer, can you make a bun for your empress?" The ones on this one were originally the emperor and concubine Pang Yan.

"Forget it, she doesn't like hairpins all over her hair, so please forgive her." The emperor waved his hand at Mrs. Comb Hair.

The two sat opposite each other, chatting about inside and outside.The emperor suddenly sighed: "The heat in Bianjing is so severe, but I don't know how the people on Huainan East Road are."

The imperial concubine said: "Yi Lang is worried about the disaster. Does he wish he could turn into a sun-chasing Kuafu, grab the golden crow's legs and feet, and drive the scorching sun above Bianjing City to Huainan East Road, so as to dry out the flood for the people?"

The emperor laughed and said, "San Niang's words sound rather interesting."

The noble concubine sighed: "Seeing Yilang like this, I feel more and more confused and uneasy."

The emperor wondered: "Why did you curse yourself for nothing?"

The noble concubine said: "Sanniang is in the deep palace, and she doesn't know the affairs of the world. If she wants to miss her, she can't always miss the people."

The emperor asked: "Then what does San Niang miss?"

The imperial concubine said: "I'm afraid Yilang will make fun of me if I say it."

The emperor was also happy to hear her half-hidden and half-revealed, so he urged: "But why not?"

The imperial concubine sighed leisurely, and said: "Naturally, I miss my parents, my mother and all my brothers."

The emperor smiled and said, "What's so difficult about it? I'll send someone to bring them into the palace, and we'll have a reunion."

The entire Pang family was in the capital, and within an hour, the order to summon Grand Master Pang and the others was issued.The Pang family's father and brother were about to enter the palace to have an audience. The noble concubine and the ladies in the palace hastily lowered the curtains, shaded the sun and wind, and arranged the palace.As soon as she got close to the embroidered couch, she saw a figure rolling out of it, the female officer was so startled that she threw down the whisk in her hand and asked sharply, "Who is bold enough to trespass in the palace?"

"Don't yell," I saw a head protruding from the brocade curtain, but the bun that was supposed to be wrapped in a turban was full of pearl flowers. The young man's body was inside, but his head poked out of the embroidered couch, with a pair of big eyes under his thick eyebrows , staring straight at the female officer, "Scream again, you said sister saw you and me, should I punish you first, or punish me first?"

The female officer was about to reprimand him, but she heard a call from behind: "Chan'er, why are you hiding here?"

When she turned around, she saw Concubine Pang Guifei wearing a beautiful crown in a high bun, with a jade face and strict make-up, looking in with her pleated skirt curled up.When Pang Guifei saw the female official, she winked, and the female official lowered her head and looked out.

Concubine Pang Guifei sat down on the embroidered couch, went to choose the jewelry for the boy's bun, put her hands in her hands, pushed it to his eyes, and asked: "Is there a lady you like, do you want this bead ring hairpin?"

Pang Can sneered: "How can I not know that such a little lady popped out of nowhere out of a crack in the rock?"

"You hid in Auntie's palace, is it possible that you really want to roll up and down on this embroidered couch?" The imperial concubine looked at him for a while, and said, "Auntie always hopes that you will grow up soon."

"No hurry," Pang Can changed the subject, "Is there any rare treasure for sister to reward me?"

The imperial concubine summoned the female officer and took out a box from the cabinet. Pang Can followed the box with his eyes.The pattern on the box is complicated, such as vines and vines, with flowers, trees, insects and birds in between. There is a twisted copper-yellow round pull on the lid, and its purpose is unknown.The imperial concubine took the box, and Pang Can reached out to touch the box, but the imperial concubine quickly slapped it away.

"Don't touch it," the concubine held the box carefully and said, "This box was brought from the Western Regions, and there were originally two of them."

"Who did you give the other one to?" Pang Can casually picked the golden thread finch on her sister's skirt with her nails.

The noble concubine looked at him and smiled, "The other one was blown to pieces."

"Oh?" Pang Can's eyes lit up, "Zensheng exploded?"

"You just need to twist this place," the imperial concubine carefully held the copper-yellow round knob with her hand, and twisted it slowly, only to hear a muffled rattling sound inside the box, "I'll hear the first sound soon." After saying that, there was a crisp sound of "crack" in the box, the copper-yellow round handle jumped out half an inch, and the box cover was lifted out a crack.

"The box is open." Pang Can couldn't take his eyes off it.

The imperial concubine held the box in her hand, she didn't move any more, she just said: "If the lid of this box is lifted now, it will explode in a short while."

Pang Can raised his eyelids to look at her: "Is that how the first one exploded?"

The imperial concubine held the round handle again, and twisted it again: "Until I hear the second sound." There was a crisp sound inside the box, "This box can only be opened." As she said, the imperial concubine picked up the seam with her armor, and the box was covered. The ground jumped away, and there was nothing in it.

Pang Can stared at it for a while, then burst into laughter: "I don't know what the box from the Western Regions is—it's a fool."

The noble concubine said: "This thing is indeed useless, and I also think it is in the way. If you can use it, this box will be given to you."

Pang Can took the box, held it with both hands, and raised it above his head: "Sister, I really have to rack my brains to find a use for the idiot."

The imperial concubine held his arm and said: "Get up, father and brother are waiting outside."

When they arrived in the garden, they saw Grand Master Pang and Pang Yu and Meihe waiting eagerly in the pavilion. The noble concubine and Pang Can approached, surrounded by the palace maids Huangmen. Fubai.The imperial concubine hurriedly ordered the palace servants to help him up, and said: "I saw my father and brother-in-law, and my heart was both joyful and sad."

It was still early, not even dinner time.Everyone gathered and chatted about things inside and outside the palace.After sitting for a while, the imperial concubine took Mei He's arm, looked at the Grand Master and Pang Yu and said, "I will go to the side with my sister-in-law to discuss the private affairs of my daughter's family. Dad and brother don't come with me."

Mei He looked at Pang Yu, who only smiled at her and nodded.Walking away with the concubine, I gradually entered the small path covered by the flowers and plants.As the pavilion got farther away, the imperial concubine asked, "Sister-in-law, my elder brother is the most troublesome, did you suffer a lot of grievances?"

The imperial concubine and Pang Jiong were born of the same sibling, and she knew her elder brother's temper well. This time, she asked Mei He not to care about her sister-in-law, but to intercede for her elder brother.Mei He is not soft-tempered, facing the imperial concubine's inquiry, he also said coldly: "Brother Uncle and A Lang have very little contact recently, how can there be grievances for my concubine?"

"Sister-in-law, don't laugh at me. In this matter, I am really a fool." Hearing that the imperial concubine claimed to be a fool, Mei He cast a sideways glance at her, wanting to hear her explain why, "Sister-in-law should be the first time I see you." Shall I?"

Mei He nodded her head, and the imperial concubine continued: "But I have heard the name of my sister-in-law many times from the mouths of my two elder brothers."

Mei He didn't speak, the imperial concubine smiled and said: "Sister-in-law, do you know what the two elder brothers say about you?" At the end, she seemed to know that Mei He would not answer, so she said to herself: "Second brother is all about sister-in-law, let's talk about sister-in-law. , Bi Luoshen, let me, as a sister-in-law, also want to see the beauty of my sister-in-law. Now that I see you, I realize that the second brother is not exaggerating."

"As for my elder brother, he also said that his sister-in-law is smart and intelligent. If he is a man, he would be ashamed to see his sister-in-law." His teeth are sharp and his mouth is sharp.

After hearing the imperial concubine's flattery, Mei He said: "The concubine is nothing more than a woman, it's my uncle and Erlang's absurd praise."

The imperial concubine said: "Brother, he has a high spirit, but he is short of talent and knowledge. If my sister-in-law hears unpleasant words on weekdays, don't take it to heart. After all, a family that is harmonious and beautiful is a blessing in the world." The imperial concubine's words were ironic, but in fact she was just begging Mei He not to trip Pang Jiong secretly.

Mei He snorted coldly in his heart, thinking to himself, why did this noble concubine decide that it was her who was behind the scenes, and not that Pang Jiong was raising a tiger to make trouble and suffered on his own?She said in her mouth: "I was born in a poor family and had no one to rely on. I have been promoted to Erlang, and all I want is to serve him. This time my uncle was robbed, and I am also very worried about him."

Concubine Pang laughed and said, "Where is my sister-in-law talking? My grandfather was born in the market, and my sister-in-law is from a scholarly family. If it is a 'poor family', who in the world is not from a poor family?" At the end, she asked again: "Second brother this time Have you ever talked to your sister-in-law about how to get elder brother out of prison?"

Mei He said: "Erlang has never discussed this matter with my concubine."

"Second brother never mentioned a word to sister-in-law?" Concubine Pang Gui asked eagerly, obviously not believing that Pang Yu hadn't mentioned a word.

Mei He pretended to ponder, and said after a while: "Erlang seems to be preaching to the concubine. It is easy to save uncle, but it is difficult to keep his title of Marquis."

Concubine Pang quickly asked, "How do you say that?"

Mei He said: "Does the imperial concubine know the dragon picture?"

The imperial concubine nodded and said: "Even if I am in the deep palace, I can still hear the good name of Master Bao Longtu Qingtian."

Mei He said: "This time, Bao Longtu is the one who will try the case of brother brother. He is the most upright. What brother brother committed was a murder case. It is a blessing among misfortunes that he did not use the tiger's head. If you want to save Uncle Brother, you only need to find a scapegoat. But Bao Longtu is not easy to deal with. Let Uncle Brother get away with this unscathed. Find the bottom. Why don’t you use the crime of lax governance to cut off the Marquis of Uncle to appease the anger of the people, so that Uncle can get away completely.”

The imperial concubine nodded deeply and said: "What is the false title of Marquis Anle? How can it be as important as saving the life of the eldest brother? I will talk to the Holy One then."

The sun is flat on the west mountain, and the moon is on the corner of the eaves.The night banquet in Pang Guifei's palace has been arranged, only to see the lanterns obstructing the moon, the drums encroaching on the night, and the palace ladies' yellow gates lined up like fish and dragons.The emperor and the noble concubine were about to enter the banquet, arm in arm, followed closely by Grand Master Pang and the Pang family brothers.The emperor glanced back, and suddenly asked the concubine: "It's also strange, I remember that the concubine has three elder brothers, the first one is Marquis An Le. Why can't he be seen now?"

Pang Can sneered in a low voice and said, "I'm going to die in Kaifeng Mansion." Pang Yu hurriedly tugged at his sleeve, motioning him to keep quiet.

After hearing the emperor's words, Grand Master Pang quickly pulled Pang Can and Pang Yu to kneel down, wiping away tears mournfully.When the emperor saw it, his expression changed immediately, and he hurriedly frowned and said: "The grand master got up and talked to me."

Grand Master Pang cried: "Don't dare to hide the truth from the Holy Majesty, my wicked son committed a crime and was imprisoned by Bao Longtu in the yamen, so he is not allowed to come to the banquet."

"What happened?"

"According to the official of the Kaifeng mansion, he accidentally killed a maidservant, and the sister of the maidservant filed a pleading letter to the Kaifeng mansion. But Niezi said that the maidservant was not killed by him. But now it is still closed. In the prison of Kaifeng Mansion."

The emperor frowned and pondered for a while, then said: "Let Bao Qing check it out."

When the concubine heard this, she hurriedly said: "Officials, I heard that the servant girl was disposed of by a family member. My brother misunderstood people and committed murder. After all, he hurt the royal family's face. Even if he is innocent, he should be punished. "

The emperor wondered: "If someone else's elder brother committed a crime, he would all beg me for mercy. Why did he come to the imperial concubine and ask for punishment?"

The noble concubine said: "The concubine is also thinking of my brother. If there is no admonishment, how can people know how to correct their mistakes?"

The emperor smiled and said: "In terms of integrity, if a noble concubine becomes an official, she must be even more upright than Bao Qing."
