Chapter Twenty-Eight: Seriously Ill
"Sister Water Slave!" Ah Yuan called twice, and seeing that the Water Slave was still out of the world, he suddenly jumped in front of her, leaned into her ear and shouted, "Sister Water Slave!"
"Huh?" the water slave was startled, and the embroidery needle in his hand stabbed into his fingertips violently, and Fang came back to his senses. Looking up and seeing Ah Yuan, he looked at himself with the excitement of a prank success, quietly curled his fingers into his palm, and said with a light smile, "Ah Yuan, is there something wrong?"
"Nope. Ah Yuan said with a smile, "It's just that when you see Sister Shuinu, you suddenly don't know what to think of, and Golangjun has called you twice." ”
"I'm sorry!" Shui Nu shook his head slightly, precipitated the dreams that kept appearing in his mind, and turned to Yin Nuan and said, "Gorou-kun, I'm sorry that the maid didn't pay attention for a while. What are the commands?"
"Nothing. Yin Nuan looked at her with some concern, "Water slave, what is on your mind?"
Although the expression of the gang water slave is not very obvious, the slight entanglement between the eyebrows and eyes can be seen that it does not look like he has thought of something happy.
The water slave shook his head and said that it was okay, it was just a dream, not to mention that the content could be said. But such a real feeling, if she hadn't woken up from her dream later, she really thought that she was still in that hall, watching her father disappear in front of her.
After a while, the water slave made tea for Yin Nuan, and was about to serve it to him, when the teacup suddenly tilted a little and sprinkled some tea on his hand.
The tea had just been boiled, and it was as calm as a water slave, and he couldn't help but snort lightly.
"What's wrong?" Yin Nuan hurriedly put down the scroll and asked back.
"Nothing?" the water slave pointed to the teapot, "I accidentally got burned." ”
"Show me. ”
Yin Nuan grabbed her hand, checked it carefully, and took the ointment on the table and wiped it for her, so that she could feel more at ease.
"Water slave, why don't you go back and rest first. Yin Nuan said, "If there is anything, I will let A-Yuan call you." ”
"En. Ah Yuan echoed on the side, "Sister Shuinu, go out for a walk, look at the flowers and grass, anything unhappy will fly away." ”
The water slave smiled bitterly, her thoughts were so obvious that even a person like A-Yuan could see it. Thinking about his absent-minded work today, fortunately the tea was spilled on his hands this time, if it hurt Yin Nuan, I am afraid it will be worse. It's really better to leave for a while, pack up your mood and then come to serve.
After waiting for a while, after the tea was cooler and served to Yin Nuan, the water slave said goodbye.
All the way out of the yard, the water slave didn't know where to go, but for her now, it was safer to walk around the courtyard of Yin Nuan.
"Hey!"
A voice suddenly sounded behind him with some annoyance, and the water slave turned around, only to realize that he had unconsciously walked past the peach courtyard. And Yin Xin leaned against the gate of the Taoyuan courtyard and looked at himself proudly.
The water slave saluted, "The servant has seen Erlangjun!"
Yin Xin said dissatisfiedly: "You maid is so bold, you even passed by me and pretended not to see it and walked over!"
The water slave admitted his mistake, Yin Xin waved his hand impatiently and said, "Forget it, I'm too lazy to bother with you." Come in and talk to me for a while. ”
He didn't know what was going on with him, anyway, since the last time he secretly cried in this courtyard, and then was seen by this servant girl, not only did he not be angry and punish people, but it was as if he shared a secret with her, and wanted to come to her about everything. Yin Nuan is a little contemptuous of herself, but she is just a maidservant, and she really doesn't care about her identity.
The water slave frowned, and followed him into the courtyard helplessly, but there was some rejection in his heart of what he would say next, as if he wanted to hear some bad news.
Yin Xin stopped beside a tree and asked the water slave to stop a few steps away from him.
"You know that I have a marriage contract with Her Royal Highness, right?"
The water slave nodded, "The servant has heard of it. ”
Yin Xin leaned on the trunk of the tree and recalled with some sadness: "At that time, Yin Nuan and I were about the same age now, once when I went to visit King Xin'an with my father, I secretly went to the courtyard when I was alone, and then I saw Her Royal Highness the princess under the beautiful peach blossom tree in the courtyard. ”
The water slave listened quietly, she grew up in Xin'an since Mingzhao was born, if she was not reluctant to her father, she almost wanted to stay in Xin'an to see that she was growing up day by day. The scene Yin Xin described was too far away, although I did remember that there was a time when I had a playmate by my side in Xin'an, and I heard that it was Yin Jialangjun, but the later impression also stopped there.
Yin Xin still whispered to himself:
She drew the peach blossoms on the top of her head under the tree, and her head was slightly upturned, which was very beautiful. I was stunned, it was really the best-looking lady I have ever seen, but all the sisters and sisters around me couldn't compare. ”
He stopped abruptly at this point, and after a moment, he continued:
"Later, I came back and talked to my mother, and my mother came back to tell me that she was the princess of the day, and I was the only one in the world who could match her. At that time, although I didn't understand the meaning of this sentence, I was still very happy, so I asked my father to take me to the palace to visit Her Royal Highness the princess, and later when I heard that I had a marriage contract with Her Royal Highness, I was even happier for a long time. ”
The water slave remembered that almost all of his thoughts were on Mingzhao when he was in the palace, and then there was an extra hard-working follower around him who didn't pay attention to it, and now when he heard Yin Xin talk about it, the image gradually became clearer.
When Yin Xin said this, the joy of a little memory on his face dimmed, and he sighed:
"However, I really have no fate with Her Royal Highness the Princess, and this time there is not even a glimmer of hope. ”
The water slave trembled in his heart, always feeling that he knew some bad news, and couldn't help but ask out loud:
"What's wrong?"
Yin Xin didn't blame her for overstepping, folded her hands and pillowed them behind her head, and said:
"I heard that! Your Majesty misses the princess and is sick, and she is very sick!"
The water slave's head "boomed", and the whole person took a step back in shock.
Yin Xin didn't notice the strange appearance of the water slave, and sighed to himself and said: "Your Majesty only has one child, and now after Her Majesty is seriously ill, the princess has no brothers and sisters, not blood and family, who will look for her with her heart? ”
The water slave's brain was in chaos, and she didn't listen to what Yin Xin said later, and when she came over for a while, she asked a little stunned:
"Where did Erlangjun get this news, is it true?"
"Huh!" Yin Xin was a little dissatisfied, "Who are you and me?
"That's it!" the water slave took a step back in a daze, "The servant thanks Erlangjun for informing him, if Erlangjun has nothing else to order, the servant will retire." ”
"Hey?" Yin Xin raised her hand, and was curious about what the water slave thanked herself, when she saw her staggering and disappearing outside the courtyard gate. The slender back looked extremely depressed, so desolate that Yin Xin, who wanted to blame her for being rude, didn't have the heart to do so.
"Really, I wonder what I'm here for. ”
