Chapter 58(1/2)
Fire warding map?
These three words are common words, but they are very rare when combined together.
Could it be the God Picture, the kind that is specially used to avoid the Fire God?
But how could this be mixed in her cloak?
Is it understandable what Mrs. Xu said? This booklet is a unique world of surprises?
Liu Anan opened the second page.
A few lines of words say something about the couple who are loyal to each other, from the beginning of the universe and the change of dynasties.
It's very literary and can't understand.
I have no idea what I am saying. And there are no pictures. Just these words make people feel troubled.
Liu Anan closed the booklet.
Giving her this fire-proof picture is of no interest at all.
Unexpected surprises are not surprising, so boring.
Liu Anan threw the booklet on the round drum stool.
Nu Guan Xu really doesn't guess what she thinks. I don't have any meaning to send this one.
The cloak is beautiful, Liu Anan puts it on her body and tried it. It is warm and soft, and her color and embroidery are all her favorites.
This is good.
Liu Anan tried out the cloak, and Nu Guan Xu looked a little surprised.
"The beauty is so soon...try it?"
"Just a cloak."
Liu Anan really liked this and praised the lady Xu: "Mr. Xu is skillful, I really like this cloak."
"As long as the beauty likes it..."
After receiving the reward, the female official Xu bent her knees and reminded her tactfully: "I'll ask the beauty to think about it and study the unexpected surprises in the cloak."
Just that booklet needs to be studied?
Liu An'an doesn't like this kind of awkward and difficult-to-understand literary content on weekdays. As mentioned earlier, the female official Xu said, she threw her back to her head.
She counted with her fingers and ten days later, she sent the little round-faced guard to steal things from Master Mo again.
The chickens I stole last time were still well kept in the guard station. I heard from the palace maids that there were chickens crowing in the guard station every morning.
Since you have good rearing, you can return the chickens when you get the jade back.
Speaking of which, if she stole Master Mo's chicken, would he not do it for her in anger?
Such a rebellious person is too difficult to figure out.
Liu Anan prepared a second hand. Among the fabrics brought by Nuguan Xu, it was particularly suitable for Chu Yu to make clothes for her. She still remembered the size she measured last time, and quickly cut it out. On a sunny afternoon, she sat next to the koi pond in the atrium to sew clothes.
Let’s make a simple one for him first and test his ideas. If it doesn’t work, then change it. If it works, then the spring clothes prepared for him can be done.
Liu An was focused on her, sitting there sewing back and forth with stitches and threads, and most of the clothes in her hands had been formed.
The main door of Yuanchen Hall is open. Someone came outside the door? Liu Anan, who was sitting in the atrium, could see outside the door as soon as he looked up.
There was a voice outside the hall gate, and the palace maid guarding the hall gate stepped in and bowed her knees.
"Beauty, Zhou Cairen from Cuihua Palace came to visit."
Liu Anan almost stabbed his fingertips with a needle. He quickly rubbed his fingertips that were a little painful, and looked up in surprise.
"Zhou Cairen?"
When I met during the Mid-Autumn Festival family dinner, I learned that Zhou Cairen had helped her pull the third imperial concubine away at that time, she quickly sent someone to send thanks to Zhou Cairen and wanted to invite her to Yuanchen Palace to play.
Zhou Cairen confiscated the gift of thanks and refused to accept the invitation. He closed the gate of Cuihua Palace and almost treated Yuanchen Palace as air.
However, the concubine said that Zhou Cairen came to the palace to take refuge because his father did not want to marry a middle-aged man in a hurry. He said that he was not considered as the same concubine of the emperor.
After being in peace for so long and having almost no contact, why did you come to find her today?
The person outside the hall had already got off the chariot, stood in the cold wind wearing a white cloak, saw her from afar, and nodded.
Everyone had arrived at the door, and Liu Anan could only put down his work. When he got up, he asked Jun Qing to press his shoulders without any trace, and sat back.
"The beauty is ready. Zhou Cairen comes. There is no need for the beauty to stand up to greet him." Jun Qing whispered, "Wait and see Zhou Cairen, I will know what happened."
Liu Anan sat down, across a koi pond and a flowerbed. He watched Zhou Cairen come step by step, and came to her, hesitated for a moment, and bent his knees at her.
"My beauty Liu."
"Zhou Cairen."
Liu An'an's position score is higher than her, but Zhou Cairen is considered a guest in the palace, so she is very polite.
"Sit down, Linglong, serve tea to Zhou Cairen."
The little palace maid below placed a shorter round drum stool opposite Liu Anan, with an embroidery mat on it, and brought hot tea.
Zhou Cairen got off the seat, took the tea, and glanced at the bamboo basket next to Liu An'an. The full picture could be seen in the middle garment inside. The size, you could tell at a glance that it was not worn by his daughter.
"Is Meiren Liu making clothes for His Majesty? She is smart and skillful."
Zhou Cairen was tall and slender, and reached out to take the clothes and looked through them.
"Your Majesty's clothes are made for you now. But he also trusts you..."
Liu Anan had no time to stop him, and the clothes had already fallen into Zhou Cairen's hands.
How can you take it yourself without asking!
Even if you are a guest, it is a bit too rude!
Liu Anan was a little dissatisfied.
"Just make a dress, and..."
"Zhou Cairen, you took it yourself without asking me!" She pointed it out directly, "It's not good."
Zhou Cairen pinched the clothes and pursed his lips.
“…I was rude.”
She squeezed the clothes tightly and let go, put them back into the basket.
Liu Anan was relieved only now.
"Why did you come to me so suddenly? Have you never seen you come on weekdays?"
Liu Anan felt seriously that she had never walked with her on weekdays, but suddenly she came, making people unprepared. Since she was confused, she asked casually.
Zhou Cairen's expression immediately became bad.
"Are you welcome me?"
"Hey, okay, why do you say that I won't welcome you anymore?" Liu Anan wondered, and asked her just one sentence, why did she say so heavily?
Zhou Cairen bit her jaw tightly, and it was obvious that the unhappiness on her face was obvious.
"If nothing happened, I shouldn't have disturbed you. This is also a reason for this. I think you should know that I have never liked to go out."
Zhou Cairen gave a light order and asked the two palace maids behind him to deliver the tray they were carrying.
"This is my father..." She said with a disgust, but she could only say unwillingly, "My father learned that you like jade and there was a collection at home. He specially ordered someone to bring it into the palace and give it to you."
Liu Anan was surprised. The palace maid opened the box on the tray, and there were the best jade pieces in the box, with big fists, and it looked crystal clear and had not been carved yet. Maybe she could tell that it was the best.
"This is strange. Zhou Cairen's father, why did you give me jade?" Liu Anan really didn't know and asked curiously, "I don't know Ling Zunsu and I have never had any contact in the past. If we talk about the intersection, Zhou Cairen, you helped me once a few months ago. This sudden gift of jade is confusing."
Zhou Cairen lowered his eyes.
"My father just heard that you like it, but there was something at home, so he sent it."
After Zhou Cairen finished speaking, hesitated.
"You are the concubine that Your Majesty loves. There are many people who want to please you. Giving you jade is not a matter of no return."
From her mouth, this was a bit forced.
When Liu Anan heard this, he immediately shook his head.
"I can't want it!"
"As the saying goes, take money and eliminate disasters with others. I can't help others with anything, and I don't have the ability to accept gifts from others. Zhou Cairen, please take this back."
"I'm not expecting you to help him now. And you may not be able to help." Zhou Cairen's tone was very cold, "You are His Majesty's favorite concubine. If you blow the wind beside your pillow, say a few good things to him, this piece of jade will be worth it."
It's pillow wind again?
Why did she ask her to help? It was all about the pillow-by-pillow wind?
Liu Anan was confused. Her value seemed to be reflected in the pillow wind. What confused her the most was why a pillow wind that could not be reflected in nothing can make people so nervous about her wanting to do it?
And she obviously blew it before, it was useless.
