Bamboo Horse (3)
The imperial aunt seems to be strict and cold, but in fact she is generous and treats her quite well.
If you change someone else, you will never allow the daughter of the enemy to live in the world, let alone treat her so kindly.
Because of this, she should be more grateful!
"Aunt Huang, please listen to Yue'er's words. Sister Yue'er raised her head, her delicate face was full of determination: "Since the day Yue'er entered the palace, she has made up her mind that she will always be by the side of the imperial aunt in this life and will never leave the palace." ”
"I beg the Imperial Aunt to fulfill it!"
Gu Wanning looked at Sister Yue'er, her bright and sharp eyes seemed to understand all the hesitations in Sister Yue'er's heart: "Sister Yue'er, are you worried that no one wants to be your county horse?"
She is the only bloodline in the Qi Palace!
There is a grandfather who plots rebellion, and a father who defects to the enemy and treason.
Even if she was raised in the palace, she couldn't erase the mark of being born in the Qi Palace. Which son of a family is willing to marry her like this? Even if she reluctantly marries in the face of the emperor, who will really accept her and treat her well?
Sister Yue'er's body trembled slightly, her little face turned slightly white, but her expression became more and more calm: "Aunt Huang's eyes are like torches, how dare Yue'er hide it." ”
"This is indeed the biggest concern in Yue'er's heart, and it is also an unavoidable and unsolvable trouble!"
"Rather than reluctantly marrying and resentful of being neglected and alienated in the future, it is better to stay in the palace all the time. With the protection of the emperor's uncle and aunt, Yue'er can always live a comfortable and smooth life. ”
Gu Wanning looked at Sister Yue steadily, and asked coldly, "Do you have a favorite young man in your heart?"
Sister Yue'er's heartstrings tightened, fortunately she was prepared, so she didn't panic, and quickly responded: "No." Yue'er has already made up her mind that she will be alone in this life, she will never get married, and she has never paid attention to any teenager!"
Is that really the case?
Gu Wanning was silent, and her eyes fell on Sister Yue'er's pale and firm face.
In the end, it is Xiao Rui's bloodline, that is, he looks like Wang Min and has a cowardly temperament, but he has the stubbornness and pride of inheriting his father in his bones.
No one is willing to treat her sincerely, and no excellent young man is willing to marry her. She simply doesn't want anything, she would rather be an old girl than be wronged!
After a long time, Gu Guanning opened his mouth to break the silence: "Sister Yue, you go back to Baguio Palace for the time being." I'll leave that to a decision later!"
Sister Yue breathed a sigh of relief, answered yes softly, and withdrew.
Gu Wanning looked at Sister Yue'er's relieved back, and frowned slightly.
……
Sister Yue walked back to Baguio Palace with brisk steps.
Mother Wu hurriedly greeted her with a smile, shushing the cold and asking for warmth.
Mother Wu's appearance is only middle-to-upper, not a beauty. Now in his forties, gray hair is growing on his head, and there are wrinkles on his forehead and eyes.
In Sister Yue'er's eyes, this is the most familiar and friendly face in the world. It's a trivial chatter, and it's extra warm and reassuring to listen to.
The slightly secluded and deserted Baguio Palace has long become her safe place. She is reluctant to leave here, and she will not leave here.
Mother Wu couldn't hide her thoughts, and soon asked tentatively: "Today, the queen summoned the county lord to go, but it was for the county lord's family affairs?"
Sister Yue nodded slightly.
Mother Wu's eyes lit up, and her tone suddenly became excited: "Is the queen going to marry the county lord? Which family do you want to marry? The rewards received by the county lord over the years, the slaves and maids have all received well, and it is no problem to make a dowry of dozens of lifts." The emperor and Niangniang are both benevolent and generous people, and they will not treat the county lord badly in the future......"
Sister Yue calmly interrupted Mother Wu: "Mother Wu, I have already expressed my heart to Aunt Huang. I won't leave the palace to get married!"
Mother Wu: "......"
In the past two years, every time Wu's mother mentioned family affairs, Sister Yue always reacted like this. Mother Wu was looking forward to Sister Yue in her heart, just laughing.
At this moment, looking at Sister Yue'er's calm and firm face, Mother Wu could no longer deceive herself.
What Sister Yue said is true.
She really doesn't want to get married!
"Mother Wu, you don't need to persuade me, I have made up my mind and will never change it. Sister Yue said softly.
Mother Wu moved her lips and wanted to say something, but she didn't say a word, and her eyes suddenly turned red.
Sister Yue stepped forward, hugged Wu's mother, and coaxed Wu's mother like Wu's mother coaxed her back then: "Don't cry." Isn't it good that I'm like this now? No one dares to deceive me. ”
"If you go out of the palace to get married, don't talk about such and such troublesome trivial things, and listen to people's gossip and be idle. ”
"Mother Wu, you can stay by my side with peace of mind. I will treat you as a mother and send you to the end of your old age. ”
Thin and thin shoulders, I don't know when, have become her support.
Mother Wu clutched Sister Yue'er's sleeve tightly, and tears welled up in her eyes.
……
The next day, when Sister Yue appeared in the study, her expression was the same as usual.
Sun Rou and Sister Hui hadn't noticed anything yet, but Gillian looked at it meaningfully.
Since she was twelve years old, Gillian has helped take care of the harem chores. In the past few years, Gu Wanning has intended to train Gillian, and everything in the palace will be known to Gillian.
The imperial aunt announced that she was summoned to the Jiaofang Palace yesterday, and Gillian must have known about it......
Sister Yue lowered her head, her eyes fell on the book in her hand, but her mind was a little trance.
Gillian has already arrived, and it is time to settle a family affair.
Who will Gillian pick to be a colt?
Now that everyone is getting older, they must abide by the distinction between men and women, and it is no longer possible to talk as unscrupulously as in the past. However, it is always okay to meet and greet each other.
After school, Sister Yue walked at the end as usual, and then stood in the corner.
Gillian is like sunshine, no one will ignore it.
And she, like a shadow in the shadows, quietly hid in the corner.
The boys grew up fast.
Min Da is the tallest, and he is also the strongest, looking like an adult man. The tiger head is not far behind. Brother Qian'er also got bigger, with a lively and handsome face, and stuck to Gillian when he seized the opportunity.
Brother Jun and Ah Yi are similar in size, slender and handsome, with a shallow smile in their dark eyes, and the corners of their mouths raise a pleasant arc.
Sister Yue only glanced at it, and then looked away.
She didn't know that the moment she looked away, a trace of disappointment flashed in Jun Ge'er's eyes.
She is always so quiet and silent, delicate and obscure. No one could guess what she was thinking when she was silent.
Although he saw her every day, he could hardly find a chance to talk to her.
Thinking of what his mother had said to him last night, he was filled with confusion. His mother intended to make him still have a horse, and said that the imperial aunt and aunt in the palace also had this intention......
He admires Gillian, likes Gillian, and is happy to be close to her.
This kind of liking is like liking your own sister.
How can there be a reason for a younger brother to marry his sister as a wife?
What he likes is the gentle and strong girl who is silent and bows her head silently.
