8. Hate to marry (Female Suwen) [008]
When I got into the bed, I found that she hadn't fallen asleep, and it happened that the thief's bright eyes were raised and collided with her in the night, which can be said to be the scene of catching the thief! For a while, the young man's face turned red, but fortunately he didn't light the lamp, and he couldn't see clearly, so he explained softly: "Begonia had a nightmare, and he didn't dare to sleep alone." "This lie is called a falsehood, and he does not believe it himself.
If it were the usual, Fourteen would have thought about it, she would definitely pick one or two sentences with a dark belly, for example, if there are still palace people waiting on the ground in your house asleep, for example, this king didn't punish you for not being allowed to go out without copying the scriptures... But at this time, she didn't say anything, just patted the child's forehead lightly, moved it to the side, and gave up the place she had warmed up for the sick young man.
Knowing that it was a lie, he opened his mouth, but there were only four words on his lips: "Don't be afraid, I'm here." โ
"Well, don't be afraid. The clear smile was full of stars, and the sticky candy came over next to King Xian, and with a smile closed the eyes that had been trembling for a long time, and fell asleep.
Fourteen looked at the carefree teenager sleeping beside him, and suddenly remembered a word: habit.
Someone once said to her: The most terrible thing in this life is habit. When you get used to bloody slaughter, you forget how to gently caress your child's face. When you get used to rejecting people, you will only be left in the world with yourself, lonely, and old.
Yes, she was used to slaughtering, she was used to saving, and even now she was used to peace, and habit was not so terrible to her, just as she was used to not being able to sleep at night, and Fourteen believed that if she made up her mind, she would soon be able to change this habit. That's why she was able to indulge that child, because she always felt that she was a master at overcoming habits.
I remembered the person who said this, the man who paid with his life for the stab to her heart.
In my impression, he should have been one of the most ordinary passers-by.
The strange thing is that the figure that was originally faded in her mind is gradually becoming clear at this moment, spanning several small worlds This is the first time she has looked back, and when she looks back on this dispensable passer-by in her impression, she found an extremely strange and strange thing.
It's like the brain deliberately ignored this person's existence, and now that she thinks about it carefully, she is surprised to find that that person has been with her for a long time, and even, this memory has immersed her in that small world for most of the years!
Obviously, such a person is like a shadow, eating and sleeping together, fighting side by side in the world of gunpowder, such a person, even if he finally stabs her in the heart and has cannon fodder in her own hands, she doesn't remember that she has even the slightest affection for this person that is higher than that of strangers. It's really, weird to weird.
No matter how sluggish Fourteen's feelings were, it was impossible for her not to have the slightest feeling? In fact, she really didn't.
It's more like someone deliberately extracting emotions to be able to explain, why? When the vague memory emerges clearly, the scenes in the picture are laughing from the heart... The more I think about it, the more weird it becomes.
It is only when you are aware of it, and when you are aware of it, that you feel terrible.
That blank emotion is as silent as the Dead Sea, unable to withstand a ripple.
The only thing she could do was the Lord God!
Why did the Lord God erase her feelings for the betrayer alone, and most importantly, what induced her to value that memory?
In the dark, Fourteen's unusual eyesight only quietly stared at the sleeping face next to the pillow, and a pair of silent eyes flickered at the moment, not knowing what to think.
Long.
When Haitang woke up the next day, the pillow people didn't know when to leave, only a group of palace mothers who were waiting on the side early, saying that His Royal Highness had confessed, so that the princess would wake up and go back to the self-sufficient courtyard to copy the scriptures.
Maybe it was because of the bed-climbing incident that night, the prince had a lower evaluation of his self-discipline, what is the answer, Mu Haitang can only guess by himself and obediently admit punishment.
This closure did not come out, except for the occasional King Xian would come over to accompany him with a medicinal meal, and asked him to copy it for more than three months.
In addition to the handwriting that was picked and disliked by the old palace mother at the beginning, the handwriting was not neat and tidy, and in the rest of the days, it was either a typo that broke a book, or a missing sentence ruined the Zen.
Not to mention that the time of daily copying is strictly controlled by several old palace mothers in a very short range, and they have to rest every morning, noon and evening, and they have to rest every morning, noon and evening, and they would rather invite the troupe and other idle personnel every day for him to have fun and relieve his boredom, rather than let him use it to complete the copying.
He has never been tormented by longing in every way, and he has endured the helplessness of March as if a claw is scratching more and more in his heart, and he can only knock on the side from time to time to listen to those rumors about King Xian from his own close mouth, this feeling is very bad, and it shows how precious the past years are.
He thought repeatedly, he was wrong, he didn't dare to ask for more, that love to the point of madness had never been so frightened, far more than the love for each other was deeper and more intense.
In this way, he endured more than three months day and night in torment, and at the moment when the ban was lifted, he hesitated, tried on the gorgeous clothes in the closet, and thought about all the makeup, but in the end he just sent the palace slave away, and stared at the sullen reflection in the bronze mirror alone.
As I said, I heard a palace slave who was waiting in front of the prince to say this, and I often heard the prince mention 'Liu Tingyu' many times in the conversation with the staff in the study.
Mu Haitang knew that these three words were of great significance to the prince, unless he was deaf, he would not not know that the prince's infatuation with Liu Tingyu had been rumored.
Raising his slender and white fingers inch by inch to caress his facial features, looking at himself in the mirror is also doing the same action, he opened his mouth, but he couldn't make a sound, but his heart echoed his lost soul: Is it really beautiful? But it can't compare to the son of the Liu family, right?... Even if he Liu Tingyu has already married a husband.
He didn't know what King Xian was planning these days, not that he didn't think about it, but he didn't dare to think about it at all.
He was afraid that the answer would be that the Qilin Palace would usher in another marriage, and the people who would be favored by thousands of people would be Liu Tingyu, who was known as the first son of the imperial capital. Just looked at the person in the mirror, and was in a daze for a long time.
Fourteen originally thought that the kid's heart must be suffocated for three months, and once the grounding order is touched, it will be like a wild horse that has escaped the reins, and no matter how bad it is, he will cry silently at her with a small appearance that has been wronged.
So she lined up for a party early and took all the time off for a while.
The food, the manager came to pass it, and the princess couldn't shirk it.
She was still thinking that it was a good thing that this child had learned to lose his temper with her, indicating that autonomy and independence had been grinded out and there were signs of it.
At night, the chief steward came to spread the word that the lights in the princess's courtyard had gone out and had stopped.
She thought that it would not be too late to tell the boy tomorrow that she would take him to the palace he had mentioned three months ago. Of course, there will be Mu Haitang's family members who are so hospitable that they will be accompanied by them, and they have privately informed the Mu Guogong Mansion, which is a matter of nail in the chopping block.
It's just that she won't tell the boy that she is slowly withdrawing from his world without a trace in disguise.
Recalling the night when Begonia stayed overnight under the pretext of a nightmare three months ago, she fell asleep in a trance, but she had a nightmare.
She couldn't open her eyes and couldn't move in the nightmare, at that time, although she knew that there was still a person lying next to her, but was that person Begonia? Or was it the stranger who was emotionally blank? Obviously, they were two people who looked and had completely different personalities, but she couldn't tell the difference in this nightmare.
It seems that something is hinting at in the depths of her subconscious, and she can't figure it out at fourteen or one, but this inexplicability makes her avoid the teenager for the first time.
So, for more than three months, she went to visit Begonia less and less, and she spent more and more time persisting in carrying out tasks.
Early the next morning, who knew that there was an urgent move in the palace. Perhaps in view of her appearance in the past two years, the empress did not inform her in advance and arranged something for her to do with confidence, and finally pushed the empress to come out, and listened to the steward, saying that the princess went out early in the morning to offer incense in Baiyun Temple and had not yet returned.
When it was time for dinner, the steward reported again, saying that it was a letter from the other end of Baiyun Temple, saying that Princess Xian wanted to stay in the temple for a while, praying for the prince, saying that it was to show sincerity, and it was inconvenient to see outsiders during the period, and that outsiders also included her fourteen!
Such... It's good.
didn't think that after the ban was lifted, Mu Haitang was unprepared and hit her by surprise.
In the middle of the night, it came that Princess Envy had stumbled and fallen into the well!
I didn't even hear whether the person was rescued or not, and the fourteen whole people were like lightning strikes, and when they realized that they had come to Baiyun Temple quickly, they stood in front of the door of a wing room built for nobles in the temple, as if they had passed through a busy room of palace slaves, staring at the young man who was also looking at him in surprise.
At that time, the palace people were wiping his long wet hair, a jet-black hair was wrapped in cotton cloth and loosened, although the clothes on his body looked much thinner, they were all dry, a beautiful little face was frozen white, and a delicate charcoal stove was burning beside him only for warmth.
From beginning to end, she was both wolf and vulnerable, and the eyes that suddenly appeared when she looked into her contained thousands of stars and were full of life.
The palace people were also startled by the sudden appearance of King Xian, and hurriedly knelt down! How could the master be so dignified that he could stumble and fall into the well? Or did the entire capital sleep groggily in the middle of the night! If His Highness asked about the crime, they didn't know what to do.
The young man's momentary distraction was awakened by the sound of everyone's bowing, and he also bowed slightly to Fourteen, looking rusty and restrained.
The boulder in the heart of the Fourteenth is finally put down: alive... That's it.
As soon as Pu put it down, her brows furrowed!
How could someone accidentally fall into a well in the middle of the night! Ridiculous!
Just because she grounded him for three months, he ran out and jumped into the well?!
King Xian's face sank, and for a moment it seemed to condense into an iceberg, and even with an indescribable coldness: "Why did the princess fall into the water?" The word falling into the water was bitten very hard.
The anger that had gone through ten killing worlds was not noticed, so he released a little, which frightened the palace people to explain and shirk.
It turned out that in the middle of the night, the princess couldn't sleep and walked near the wing, but she didn't want to bring the little wolf cub just to chase after a prey, the prey was a little wild cat, and in a hurry, she rushed past the little waiting for Luoxia, Luoxia was so startled by the wild cat behind her, and hurriedly jumped away, not wanting to jump away and hit the master Princess Xian on the side, so the princess Xian, who was stunned by the well and looked at the crescent moon at the mouth of the well, smashed the well with a pop. Suo Xing rescued people in time, but Princess Xian was just cold and frightened.
In the process of the entire palace people being terrified in the process of plea and confession, King Xian didn't say a word, just quietly walked to Princess Xian's side, took the cotton cloth that the palace people near her used to wipe before, and turned to wipe off the traces of water for Princess Xian's long black hair, but the anger in that body was so strong that people felt that it was difficult to breathe even if they stayed under one roof, they had never seen such a King Xian!
At present, the voice that was roughly trembling due to the consequences was explained clearly, and the first thing King Xian said was unexpectedly not to ask for guilt: "Why don't you go and ask the doctor to come over and check the pulse of the princess!"
As if everyone was amnesty, they rushed to escape from the temple room!
It's horrible!
And the ups and downs of Fourteen's mood were gradually smoothed out under the spontaneous explanation of a group of palace people, fortunately, it's not that this kid can't think of despising his own life, it's just an accident.
Only then did she notice that she was out of control, and she was afraid that she would also frighten the weak and spineless young man, who was sitting upright in front of her at the moment, and he was even careful to breathe, let alone move.
She didn't have time to think deeply about why she was out of control, but she became embarrassed for a while, and in order to ease the atmosphere, she tried her best to speak in a soft tone: "Don't go near the water's edge if you can't sleep at night in the future, you won't know water." When the words came out, she regretted it again, at this time it was really not open which pot to mention, thinking about people's courage like rabbits, I was afraid that I would be scared a lot, and I would do something about it.
"Forget all the unhappy things. Don't be afraid. "I can only remedy the tip of the boy's hair affectionately.
Maybe she was really frightened by her previous gaffe?
After remedy, the young man plunged into his arms, and when he picked it up, the top of his slightly wet and black shiny head first hit her nose, and then, the big tears could not be contained, but the young man was so stubborn that he refused to make a sound, as if he had exhausted all his strength, hugged tightly, and trembled. As if she was afraid that once she let go, she would never be able to find it again.
"Didn't you say that you wouldn't cry your nose casually anymore?" Before the stabbing pain on her nose had passed, Fourteen felt a hot current flow down the trend, and this time she had a nosebleed. She hurriedly freed up her hand, put her index finger across her nose, and said angrily: "It's all over, don't go near the well in the future, it's all over, good, there's nothing to be afraid of, you know?"
She thought that Mu Haitang was frightened by the fall into the well, and thinking of the horror, she trembled with all her strength and hugged her tightly, which was seeking a sense of security.
The silent hug didn't last long, even if he cried quietly, Xu thought of his appearance and posture at this time, and when the envy king didn't finish speaking, the young man let go. He lowered his head, took a few steps back, sniffed lightly, and continued to wipe the tears from his face with his trembling hand, and he could see that he was trying to hold back.
In fact, there is no doubt that the young man is afraid that he will continue to cry like this, and the image of having to blow his nose during the bureau will greatly damage the dignified image of the princess.
She couldn't help but regret it in hindsight: Perhaps, the grounding in March was really too unkind, this child was already cowardly, and after a few old palace mothers made smart โกโก, once the temperament was finalized, he would marry in the future, I was afraid that he would suffer.
"Lord Wang, the doctor is here. The voice of the palace man came from outside the wing.
Fourteen took a step and walked out, perhaps this chagrin made her even more embarrassed to be noticed, and like a gust of wind, the people who were waiting outside the house did not pause, but dropped a sentence: "Bring it in and check the pulse of the princess." โ
On the way, there was a palace waiting to see blood dripping when King Xian walked over, his face turned pale with horror, and he hurriedly looked up regardless of the rules, and just pointed at King Xian and stopped his nose, and his hands were soaked in blood at that time, and he exclaimed: "Your Highness...!"
"Don't make a noise. King Xian shook his head and said, "Go and clean up the side couch, and this king will lie down." โ
When the little palace with a white face was about to exit the side compartment and gently close the door, Fourteen lay on her back on the couch, pouring a throat of blood, which made her uncomfortable.
What lingers in my mind are the trembling shoulders, and when I left, those shoulders were still trembling faintly...
Was frightened and didn't notice the master for a while?
Coincidentally, I just knocked the master into the well...
Among the two personal treats that Begonia married over, that person is called Luoxia, right?
Looks like we'll have to look it up.
A pair of dark eyes flickered in the candlelight.
