Loyal heart travels a long way

The two people in this room picked it up one by one, and looked at it by the other. The little palace maid grinned from being pierced, and finally picked up the needle.An Rumeng got tired of watching, propped her forehead with one hand, leaned against the table to rest her eyes, and waved her other hand scribbledly to let the little maid back out.

Not long after it stopped, Song Ruyue came back with the maids and eunuchs.As soon as the little palace lady brought by Song Ruyue entered the palace, she knelt down on the ground and beat An Rumeng's legs. Flowers can come out."

Tao Rui bowed her head and smiled but did not answer. She looked carefully at the appearance of this little palace maid, her pair of peach blossom eyes looked forward, and when she laughed, there was a touch of peach red in the corner of her eyes. She really deserved her name Tao Rui.

Song Ruyue looked at Tao Rui, froze, first knelt down and kowtowed to An Rumeng.

An Rumeng raised her hand: "They are all big court ladies in charge, why are you so polite? Besides, you and I are sisters, so these formalities are not necessary."

Song Ruyue kowtowed politely, then stood up, and said in a calm tone, "I don't dare, Your Highness should not say such terrible things, it's not good for others to hear them."

"It's not worth paying for so many rules," An Rumeng smiled and shook her head, "It's okay for the princess and the maid of honor to have a deep relationship with her sisters. How many princesses are married with their relatives, they all take the maid of honor close to them, and they don't want to be separated at all. "

Song Ruyue's heart skipped a beat. From the moment she came in, An Rumeng and Taorui hinted and warned herself that kowtowing is a courtesy, but not kowtowing is disrespectful to the royal family; as for getting married, there is no such thing as a beginning. However, An Rumeng also thought that if she was really sent away to make a marriage in the future, she would also be bound by her side for the rest of her life.

"How is it? Has Mrs. Qin accepted the incense powder?" An Rumeng picked up the octagonal palace fan by the table and shook it lazily a few times, as if she felt that the weather didn't need a fan, so she put the palace fan back To the desktop: "Has he used it?"

Song Ruyue shook her head, "The slaves didn't stay for so long, I was afraid of arousing their suspicion, so they came back as soon as the things were delivered."

An Rumeng squinted at Song Ruyue, the emotion in her eyes was dim.Song Ruyue was a little panicked, but she still managed to calm herself down.She knew that this person was suspicious, but Gu Zhiyao acted really well that day, and with the veil dipped in powder on the table, she thought that there was no flaw left.

But all the traitors in this world have a problem with being suspicious.Even if An Rumeng is not a traitor, since she can stand in the current position in the palace, she cannot be a pure and good person.

She is not stupid, and she will not be overwhelmed with joy when she succeeds for a while, and she will naturally become suspicious afterwards.

And whether there is such a flaw is not so important.Yes or no, just try it out.

An Rumeng took another piece of silk handkerchief and stretched it on the embroidery shed, "In this way, Madam Qin can feel more comfortable for a while. Ruyue, you are good at crafting, come and help me draw a picture, just embroider Just two or three amaryllis flowers."

Amaryllis flower is mandala. I have seen it in Xiapi before, but there is no such thing in the capital.

The flowers do not see the leaves, and the leaves do not see the flowers. The old people say that this is the soul-sending flower that grows beside the Santu River, but An Rumeng wants to embroider this thing. Is she implying something?

Song Ruyue didn't know what to do, the more she thought about it, the more panicked she became, and she couldn't stand still.

The two embroidered for a while, and heard someone report: "Your Highness, there is news from the people over there."

An Rumeng raised her hand and let the palace man who delivered the letter in. He was an inconspicuous servant, wearing the most inferior servant uniform.

The servant first kowtowed to An Rumeng, but he didn't speak, he just gestured in sign language, he was dumb.

An Rumeng was upset when she saw it, so she asked Taorui to hand the pen and paper to the dumb servant, who was actually literate, and quickly wrote a note to An Rumeng.

An Rumeng read the note for a long time, then pondered for a while, before she raised her head and asked the dumb servant: "Is what said in the note true? Then Mrs. Qin really made a fuss again?"

The dumb servant nodded, then kowtowed again.

An Rumeng smiled: "Then is there anything unusual about her? You can't get in the backyard, and I don't ask you if she has taken any medicine. Just look at her eyes, is she pretending or is it really happening?"

The dumb servant kowtowed again, and wrote with a pen and paper: Nothing unusual, but there is a scent of lotus on my body.

Only then did An Rumeng really laugh. She covered her mouth with her hands, half tears welled up from the corners of her eyes, "Is it true that the lotus root powder is regarded as gold and stone medicine? I have been wise for a lifetime, but now I am confused."

It was only then that Song Ruyue realized that what An Rumeng asked her to send was lotus root powder. She took a peek at An Rumeng, and then let go of the panic in her heart. Fortunately, Qin Yong and Gu Zhiyao were cautious, otherwise not only would the success be in vain, but she would also be afraid of it. It should be folded in this Oasis Palace.

An Rumeng took the same wooden box again, this time instead of a colored porcelain box, there was a pack of powder wrapped in yellow paper, Song Ruyue didn't dare to open it to take a peek, and just bowed her head in silence.

An Rumeng put the gold and stone medicine away, laid another layer of cushions on top, and put the hibiscus stone bracelet in her hand into it, "Mrs. It's the second one, just give her the bracelet as a gift, and hope that she will always remember that there is such a close friend like Bengong."

Song Ruyue just took the box, and saw An Rumeng smiled slightly, and raised her chin at her, "Go, let Taorui accompany you. Only her Mrs. Qin and Ben Gong can have such a good relationship. The most capable maids in the palace and the little maids who are close to her are all going to give her good things, this is a big deal."

Song Ruyue nodded, "Your Highness is naturally the most kind."

This sentence seemed to make An Rumeng laugh, and she laughed for a while before waving her hand: "I know how to bite my tongue, go quickly, don't make you wait there, I'm afraid the whole Qin Mansion won't be enough for that young man if you go late." Madame smashed it."

Only then did Song Ruyue kneel down, and took Taorui and all the eunuchs to the Qin residence.

……

The dumb servant Song Ruyue stepped out of the palace first, carrying the reward silver from the princess, his steps became lighter.

Although he was a mute, he fell on the princess' thigh early on, married a beautiful daughter-in-law, and gave birth to a fat boy.Now that he has a son, everything is fulfilled, although it is a bit risky to go to the palace to deliver news from time to time, but who is asking for wealth and wealth?

In a few years, the two masters in the backyard were fought by the princess, so I didn't have to step on this muddy water anymore, and took my wife and children to a remote countryside to live in seclusion.At that time, a small yard will be built, a few chickens and geese will be raised, and a few acres of fertile land will be built, which will be so beautiful to him.

The more the dumb servant thought about it, the more he felt that the days were really beautiful. As long as he was careful, no one would suspect that he was a dumb, so he couldn't help but smile.

Although he can't speak, his throat can still make some indistinct sounds.The dumb servant happily walked back quickly, humming a little song that others could not understand.

From the Qin Mansion to the Imperial Palace, if he wanted to avoid being noticed, he had to go through these long and narrow alleys in the capital. He turned left and right, and suddenly felt a little weird, as if someone was following behind him.

The person who had been on business for the princess for many years was alert, the dumb servant stopped humming, and his footsteps were much lighter. When he turned a corner, he quickly hid behind the wall and peeked at the road he walked.

The alley was empty and there was no one there.

The dumb servant laughed at himself, he really did something wrong, and he was afraid of ghosts following him during the day.What are you feeling guilty about?It's just passing news, and I haven't done anything harmful.

He felt relieved, turned around, and planned to continue walking back.

And a wooden stick soundlessly protruded from behind him, hitting the back of his head with moderate force, before the dumb servant could make a sound, he rolled his eyes and passed out.

——Even if he had time, he couldn't make any sound. After all, he was a mute, what else could he utter besides "ho ho" in his throat?And in such a deep alley, who would hear a dumb cry for help?
