Chapter 39: Transmutation (1)
(Go to the net.)
In the gray sky, a few dazzling lightning bolts crossed from time to time, and heavy dark clouds wantonly swayed the pouring rain, and the low-lying places in the courtyard had already turned into a flooded country. Go and see the net. Ruyan was holding an umbrella the side to shield me from the wind and rain. A strong wind blew, and the umbrella shook back and forth, which also brought a few biting chills.
I finally came to the front door downstairs, and I could finally catch my breath, and the wind blew through the hall, and the wet clothes were clinging to my body, which was very uncomfortable.
"Niangniang, look!" Following Ruyan's fingers, a woman knelt there alone in the open space outside the palace, and the umbrella was thrown aside. Completely exposed to the blows of the rainstorm, I sighed, lifted my trouser legs, and cautiously stepped forward.
"Get up, it's raining, it's going to catch a cold. Looking at her pitiful face shivering in the cold wind, I sighed and said.
"Qiu Ying Xie Niangniang's grace to rescue!" Xiahou Qiu Ying's voice was a little hoarse, and his eyes were slightly red and he saluted me three times.
"You don't have to thank me, I did this because I couldn't betray my conscience. ”
Listening to my words, Xiahou Qiuying's face flushed slightly, and she seemed to be very repentant of her previous actions. "Mother, I knew me before..."
"Don't talk about the previous things," I interrupted with a quick wave of my hand. "Everyone has the freedom to choose, and I don't blame you. ”
"Niangniang's great kindness, Qiu Ying will never forget, and she will definitely repay her in the future. Xiahou Qiuying bowed to me gratefully, and seemed to be quite happy to receive my forgiveness.
"Repay, just you?" I looked at all this coldly in front of me, and that day Xiahou Qiuying's humble appearance inexplicably appeared in front of me, arousing a wave of disgust in my heart. "I don't expect you to help me in the future, if you really have the heart, please don't follow those people to trouble me in the future, just take care of your own affairs. With that, I turned around and prepared to go back to the palace.
Although the aggravation of my tone had clearly told her my attitude towards her, Xiahou Qiuying still persevered in tugging at my sleeve and said with a sad face: "Niangniang, Qiuying was not deeply involved in the world before, and she never knew about the affairs of the palace, and now she has fallen into such a step, I hope that the queen can help the concubine regardless of her previous suspicions." ”
"What's the matter, what's the trouble? Did Xun Hui'er and the others threaten you again?" I frowned, and then I understood.
Looking at the poor Xiahou nobleman in front of me, I sighed helplessly, lamenting his misfortune and anger, which is the true portrayal of my heart at the moment. "Character is fate, the reason why you are being bullied and blamed now is because your character is too weak, so they can blatantly bully you. Even if someone else helps you get through the difficulties, but in the future, do you have to be protected by others for the rest of your life?"
My words made Xiahou Qiuying's body tremble, and the hand holding my clothes was released like an electric shock, but she still didn't give up and asked: "Niangniang, if anything happens in the future, can the concubine come to ask Niangniang for advice?"
"No!" I replied categorically. "Do you think you're still worth believing in?"
"By the way, I used to thank you for looking up to this palace and sent me this medicinal tea, but this palace is really blessed, so I will return it to you today, and in the future, you and I will neither be friends nor enemies, so go our separate ways!" I bent down again, looked at the woman in front of me who had fallen into silence again, and handed over the neatly arranged paper bag. Xiahou Qiuying lowered her head, and strands of hair drenched by the rain hung down in front of her forehead, making it impossible to see her expression at the moment.
Seeing that she would not reach out to take it, I had to sigh, gently place the paper bag on the wet stone slab in front of her, and then resolutely turn away.
"Niangniang, are you a little too harsh on the noble Xiahou nobles, and besides, Mrs. Chun has also lied, your attitude towards her is much better. "Ruyan and I have been standing next to the shadow wall of Xiaoming Palace for more than an hour, the sky is getting darker and darker, and Xiahou Qiuying is still kneeling there, looking at her motionless appearance, it is really worrying.
"Actually, I didn't hate her for lying at the time, you can also see, the purpose of this little girl coming to me is to seek a refuge, to pin all her hopes on me, I have no opinion at all, I am afraid that I will have that kindness in the future, and I will not have that effort. Everything I did today was to make her understand that the only way to survive is to rely on herself. I looked straight at the figure immersed in the rain, and I couldn't tell what kind of mood I was feeling in my heart at the moment.
"Looking at the appearance of Xiahou nobles, the slave maid thinks that it will be difficult..."For her future, Ruyan seemed a little worried.
As for the final result, it depends on her own creation. I took one last look at her, and then turned back to the palace. It rained for a day and a night, and the next day Ruyan told me that before going to bed, she went out to take a look and found that Xiahou Qiuying had been kneeling there all along.
The following days passed a little dull, Zhi Ze didn't know whether he was too busy with official business, or deliberately angry with me, he never came to see me, I also became stubborn, and I didn't go to him, and the palace road that was originally so lively from the Qinzheng Palace to the Xiaoming Palace gradually became cold.
"Niangniang, what's wrong with you today, you're worried. "Seeing that I look listless all day long, Ruyan is so anxious that she circles around me.
"I'm in a bad mood and annoyed. I waved my hand at her weakly, motioning not to disturb me.
Ruyan seemed to know something, fell into my ear, and whispered with a smile: "Does the mother miss the emperor, or else, the slave maid will invite you to go? The slave maid will go and tell the emperor that the queen misses the emperor day and night, and it has reached the point where she doesn't think about tea and dinner..."
I really can't hide anything from her, I can't help but Yaoyao, but I still refuse to admit it verbally. "Okay, okay, you little girl is poor-mouthed, I can be regarded as obedient to you. Don't go to him, lest the courtiers say behind my back that I'm being pampered and arrogant. ”
"Niangniang, since you don't want to see the emperor, and you are bored and panicked, why don't you accompany the maid out of the palace to relax?"
Looking at Ruyan's hippie smile, I tapped my finger on her forehead, and pretended to be angry and said, "Little girl, are you going to go out with me or do you want to go out to play?"
"Wherever the mother goes, the slave and maid will follow. Ruyan's little mouth is really cute, and her brain is also flexible, and after a little thought, she had an idea: "Didn't Niangniang have a lot of friends outside the palace before entering the palace, can't Niangniang go out to talk to them, just to help Niangniang relieve loneliness." ”
"Great idea!" I don't know when the passion and motivation came back to me. The main thing is that I think about where I am going, I am going to Chengdu Wangfu to find Wanyun who I haven't seen for many days to catch up.
As usual, Ruyan and I changed into civilian clothes again, swaggered out of the imperial city, and went straight to Yuan Zhiyu's mansion without stopping. Seeing the two of us coming from afar, the little guy waiting at the door hurriedly greeted him, nodded and saluted: "Welcome the two girls to my palace, may I ask... Yes... !"
What he said really scared me, and I didn't expect to be recognized. Seeing that he was about to kneel down and salute so many people on the street, I hurriedly pulled him up and asked in a low voice, "How do you know that I am the queen?"
The little guy smiled flatteringly, and replied with a haha: "Niangniang, you have come to our house before, and the little one has seen the honor of Niangniang, and I have never dared to forget it." ”
"Okay, okay, don't talk nonsense with you, let me ask you, is your princess at home?"
"In, in, the princess and the prince are in the inner hall, and the little one will be reported. Seeing that he was about to run inside, I suddenly had a flash of inspiration in my heart, and hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed his sleeve.
"No, I'll just go in by myself. ”
The little guy hesitated for a long time, not knowing what to do. His psychology is not difficult to understand, stop it, I am afraid of my identity as the queen, don't worry, and I am worried that the master will settle accounts after the autumn, so this poor little guy has completely become a rat in the bellows, and he is angry at both ends. "So... I'm afraid it's not good like this, I'm worried that the prince will blame it by then..."When he said this, he was almost about to cry.
"You slave, why are you chirping so silently, the queen mother can still tolerate you to bargain here, and don't get out of the way. "Fortunately, I brought Ruyan out, this little girl is sharp-toothed, according to her skills, it is more than enough to deal with this kind of small role, and the other party was speechless.
After the two of us swaggered into the house, I faintly felt that something was wrong, although generally speaking, this kind of wealthy mansion, the environment is quiet, but this Chengdu palace is a little too deserted today, looking around, almost no one can be seen, and even a maid and maid have not been seen.
No, there must be something wrong. Ruyan and I looked at each other, and walked cautiously through the vestibule to the back hall. Since the janitor said that Yuan Zhiyu and Wanyun are in the inner hall, then we might as well go to the inner hall to have a look.
As soon as the front foot stepped into the back hall, there was a rude shouting and the sound of porcelain breaking sounding in his ears, which sounded like a quarrel. It was Yuan Zhiyu! I carefully distinguished, and sure enough, it was his voice, what was going on inside? Driven by curiosity, Ruyan and I walked quickly to the inner hall.
