Chapter 38 Chapter Thirty-eight Counting on me, you are too tender!

Wan Yue couldn't help but said angrily: "Why are you so careless, why don't you go back quickly!" Xinlian looked at Qingchuan in embarrassment, and said: "Qingchuan walked at the back, I thought she would lock it." Qing Chuan thought that he was indeed the one who walked in the back just now, and Wan Yue was rushing ahead, but he forgot to lock the door, so he said, "Then I'll go back and lock it." Wan Yue said: "Alright, now it's too late, Xinlian and I will go first, you lock the door and hurry up to find us in the Palace of Compassion and Peace!"

Qingchuan nodded, turned around and ran back to Ganxi No. 4 Institute to lock the door, and hurried to the Palace of Compassion and Ning, but it was still a bit late when she got there, the maids who came to help clean and pray for blessings had already arrived, and they were standing still. A few rows are in the hall to listen to the concubine De's lecture.Qing Chuan ran in from the outside recklessly like this, and before he had time to react, he heard a big court lady next to Concubine De reprimand loudly: "Bold servant, you are not polite when you see Concubine De." Qing Chuan was startled, and hurriedly knelt down to salute Concubine De, and said, "Good luck, Concubine De."

Concubine De was sitting on a grand teacher's chair, seeing Qingchuan coming in rashly, and seeing the clothes she was wearing, her originally gentle and peaceful face now showed a bit of displeasure, and she frowned slightly, Said: "The death day of the Empress Dowager, why are you wearing red?" Qingchuan couldn't help being startled when he heard this, and subconsciously looked at Xinlian and Wanyue in the crowd, but saw that they were not wearing the gorgeous clothes when they went out together just now, but plain clothes.When the two of them saw Qingchuan looking at them, they unconsciously avoided Qingchuan's gaze.

Qingchuan understood everything in her heart now, she thought that the two of them had found out in conscience that they really planned to be friends with her. It turned out that the good things these days were all faked, just to weaken her defenses He just took the opportunity to harm her. Qing Chuan's heart was cold, but his mind also calmed down. He was thinking quickly, what should he do to get through the crisis in front of him?She knelt down and kowtowed to Concubine De first, and then said: "Your Majesty, I don't mean to be disrespectful to the Empress Dowager, I just want to think that although the Empress Dowager has been away for a long time, it is rare for someone to come to the Palace of Compassion She cleans, if her soul is still there, she must want to see everyone dressed up, don't you think?"

Concubine De was silent for a moment, nodded slowly, and said: "It makes sense, the Empress Dowager did like bright colors when she was alive. Forget it, I won't blame you, you can follow them to clean." Qing Chuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, responded softly, went to stand in the line of maids, and followed the arrangement of the leading maid to start cleaning. The Compassionate Palace was originally the residence of Kangxi's grandmother, Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang.Kangxi was raised by Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang since he was a child, and his relationship with him was extremely deep. After the death of Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, Kangxi once said to Concubine De: "The imperial grandmother's kindness to me is as great as a mountain. After she passed away, I have never dared to go to the Palace of Compassion. I am afraid that every time I go, facing the empty room, I will feel strongly that she is not there.Rather than going like this, it would be better not to go. In that case, you can deceive yourself. When she is still there, you will feel better.

Concubine De has a gentle personality and a keen mind. After hearing this, she didn't say anything, but since then, every time the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang died, she would come to this Palace of Compassion to sweep the dust and pray for blessings. praise. As soon as the maids started cleaning, the hall was a bit choking, Concubine De had a cough in her throat, and couldn't stop it.The big maid beside her, Fei Cui, saw it and persuaded softly: "Master, there is a lot of dust here, you can't suck it up, you'd better sit outside." Concubine De nodded and helped Fei Cui out by the hand.The cleaning people in the palace were originally the people gathered from the Six Palaces. They came here to help Concubine De clean just for the sake of rewards, and they all knew that Concubine De had a gentle temper and a good temper, so they didn't clean up very carefully. As soon as he left, the maids cleaning the palace began to be lazy.

Seeing that Cheng Qingchuan was not framed, Xinlian and Wanyue couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, and they didn't have the heart to clean up. Seeing that Concubine De had left, the two swept the dust into the corner carelessly, then clapped their hands and said: " Alright, everything is cleaned up, return to Empress Defei!" Qingchuan had been cleaning with her head down, but after hearing this, she couldn't bear it any longer, gave them a cold look, and asked, "Is this what you call cleaning?" Wan Yue twitched the corners of her lips, and said: "Anyway, there is no one living in the Compassion Ning Palace, so it looks fine on the outside, and the idiot really works hard here!"

After speaking, he pulled Xinlian to go outside. Qingchuan didn't want to do such a foolish thing, so she stayed alone and continued to clean up hard.She swept all the dust together, put it away, washed the rags, and wiped the furniture. Outside the hall, Xinlian and Wanyue have already reported to Concubine De that they have cleaned up all the places in the hall.Concubine De praised them a few words, and found that Qingchuan didn't come out together, she couldn't help asking: "Where's the girl in red?" With a flexible mind, Wan Yue quickly replied: "Her part hasn't been finished yet, it's just a little bit close."

After saying this, just in time for Qingchuan to bring out the dirty water and pour it out, he said in a cold voice, "What's the matter, there are still many places inside that haven't been cleaned up." Concubine De couldn't help frowning, looking at Xinlian and Wanyue. Xinlian hurriedly shouted: "Mother, don't listen to her, this woman is the worst, we managed to clean it up, she must have made it dirty on purpose to frame us." Wan Yue also said from the side: "Yes, empress, this person's character is very bad, you see, she still wears red on the death day of the empress dowager, she deserves death, yes, she still reads it every day, It's just shameless."

Concubine De was very surprised when she heard that, she said in surprise: "Really?" Xinlian replied: "Really, Madam Xi punished her for this incident yesterday, Madam Xi will find out after inquiring." Qingchuan listened from the side, and then realized that the two of them did what happened, and she even went to the eighth elder brother to settle the score.Seeing that the two of them were still slandering her, Qingchuan put down the bucket, took a few steps forward, pointed at them and cursed: "You, and you, are so vicious and wicked to the extreme. First, replace my book with If you want me to come here in red clothes again, are you not willing to die if I don’t die?”

After speaking, she knelt down in front of Concubine De again, and said, "Your Majesty, the two of them lied to me that you are short of manpower for cleaning and praying here, and you will be rewarded by Your Majesty when you come, and you must wear red clothes." When Xinlian and Wanyue heard that Qingchuan had complained to Concubine De, they were startled and frightened, and hurriedly called out: "Your Majesty, don't listen to her nonsense." Concubine De was annoyed by their quarrel, but she seldom got angry with others, so she just frowned slightly, and said coldly: "Okay, you all get up, I don't need you here Come on, you all go back." Qingchuan, Xinlian, and Wanyue were all taken aback. Fei Cui beside De Concubine said coldly: "Hurry up and leave!" Xinlian and Wanyue looked at Concubine De timidly, kowtowed on the knees, and left in frustration.Qingchuan thought for a while, but picked up the bucket, turned around and went back to the main hall. "Hey!" Fei Cui called her, "Why don't you leave? Didn't your empress tell you to go back? What else are you doing?" Qingchuan turned her head and glanced at her lightly, and said, "I don't like to give up halfway when I do things. If there are still some inside, I will clean them up. I will leave naturally when I am done." As soon as this remark came out, Concubine De and the others were a little surprised, Fei Cui glanced at Concubine De, and said to Qing Chuan: "Your Majesty will not reward you after you are done!" Qingchuan calmly replied: "I don't do things for rewards, I just want to be worthy of my conscience." She looked at Concubine De who had been coughing lightly, and couldn't help saying: "My lady has a bad voice, it's not suitable If you 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. Concubine De looked at Qingchuan's back entering the hall, but she nodded lightly, and whispered to Fei Cui: "This girl is more sincere than others." Qing Chuan, who was working hard in the palace, also had some small calculations in her mind. She had completely broken with Xin Lian and Wan Yue, and now Concubine Xi is also annoyed by the incident. The favorability is also good, not to mention that she is the mother of the future Emperor Yongzheng. This is a big tree, and it is good to lean against the big tree to enjoy the shade!Isn't it just work?Anyway, since she entered the Forbidden City, she has done a lot of work, so it's nothing to work harder! Thinking of this, Qing Chuan didn't feel tired after working, and cleaned the whole hall carefully before leaving.Concubine De was still sitting outside the hall, Qing Chuan didn't ask her for any reward, just kowtowed to her again, then got up and left. When passing by the imperial garden, for some reason, Qingchuan couldn't help but go around to the small pavilion again, and the scene of that person playing the piano seemed to flash before his eyes.Qingchuan couldn't help laughing, hammered his numb arm, and said to himself in a low voice: "What's wrong with me? I'm always thinking about what he is doing!" Although he said this, he still sat down in the gazebo involuntarily, staring at the rockery in front of him in a daze, when he suddenly heard someone ask: "What's wrong? Why are you here? Are you wronged again? " Hearing the sound, Qingchuan turned her head to look over, couldn't help being taken aback, rubbed her eyes in disbelief, saw that the person in front of her didn't disappear, and was still standing outside the pavilion, it was the handsome guard who saw her react like this, He smiled with the corners of his lips bent, and walked into the pavilion with a guqin in his arms. Qingchuan was still a little dazed, no way, she just thought about him, and he appeared?I couldn't stop panicking in my heart, and hurriedly asked under cover: "Don't you need to be on duty today?" The man was slightly startled when he heard the words, but he didn't answer right away. He just set up the piano in the pavilion, sat down on the floor, looked up at Qingchuan, and replied, "That's right. What's wrong with you? You were bullied again?" Qingchuan shook her head quickly, "No, last time you said you didn't play the piano, I thought you wouldn't come again." The man smiled lightly and said: "I was in a bad mood that time, so I just said it casually, how can life be without a piano? 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, and felt a little strange in his heart, but when he laughed, his gloomy expression was swept away, and his tough facial features suddenly became more vivid, and he looked more elegant calm.Qing Chuan couldn't help but feel happy when he saw it, and hurriedly nodded and said, "Okay!" The man started to play the piano and played a very light tune.Qing Chuan squatted aside and was intoxicated listening to it. When the song was over, she couldn't help applauding: "It sounds good, it's really good! What song is this?" The man bent his lips and replied, "This is a piece I composed myself and played randomly." Qing Chuan was surprised and admired at the same time, and he blurted out praise: "You are really good, not only good at martial arts, but also good at composing music, isn't this considered an all-rounder in civil and military affairs?" The man couldn't help laughing when he heard the words, "If you like it, I'll teach you." Qing Chuan was taken aback, and hurriedly waved his hands and said: "I... I have never touched the piano, so I don't know how to play it, forget it, forget it!" "It doesn't matter," the man said, pulling Qingchuan's arm to pull her over, his arm passed behind her, and gently pressed Qingchuan's hand on the strings. All right." Qing Chuan was so nervous that her heart was about to jump out of her throat, she didn't dare to move, she could only sit stiffly beside him, playing slowly with his fingers on the strings.When a piece of music was finished playing stutteringly, Qingchuan's forehead was already sweating, she quickly pulled out from his arms, and said, "It's getting late, I have to go back, let's learn later!" He didn't dare to look at him as he spoke, and hurriedly ran out of the pavilion with his head down.Just ran out of the pavilion not far away, but bumped into Xinlian head-on.Xinlian was staggered by Qingchuan, and said angrily: "Qingchuan! You don't have eyes! Why are you running?" She looked suspiciously at Liangting, "Who are you playing the piano with? Are you dating?" ?I tell you……" Before she could finish speaking, Xinlian stopped suddenly, and her face suddenly turned pale, she hurriedly squatted down to the person in the pavilion, and said in a trembling voice: "Si elder brother is auspicious, slaves have clumsy eyesight, and I didn't recognize him for a while. Bring out the fourth elder brother, and ask the fourth elder brother to forgive me." Qingchuan was taken aback for a moment, a little dumbfounded, and looked back at the pavilion in disbelief.He is the fourth elder brother?Fourth elder brother Yinzhen?The future Yongzheng Emperor?Do you want to do this? Emperor Yongzheng taught me to play the piano himself.Qing Chuan was full of emotions for a while, and didn't know what to do.
