69. Alienation
My father has been in poor health in recent years, and my mother mentioned yì as his Guangjian Palace, among which Suyu, Gaoshan, and Shangyang are all supervised by Si Nongqing and will be the supervisor of Wei Ji, and last year Li Sheng was sent to supervise the construction, so today Li Sheng is mostly a minister of the Ministry of Industry and will be made.
When I first came, I just wanted to meet and leave, and when I saw Wei Ji, I somehow had the heart to stay for a while, not that I wanted to be close to Wei Jitao, but I wanted to hear more about Wei Huan - although I couldn't be friends, it was good to hear more about her. Li Sheng happened to be interested in keeping me as well, so he ordered someone to set up a table again and invite someone from my boat to come over.
When the people next to him saw the prince summoning him, they couldn't ask for it, but Cui Mingde and Dugu Shao fell behind, or Dugu Shao pulled Cui Mingde to this side, I saw that Cui Mingde seemed to be reluctant, and Fang remembered her family's refusal to marry, so he looked at Li Sheng. Li Sheng looked at Cui Mingde and then at me, showed a smile, and said, "Since we are your friends, let's sit in the inner cabin together." β
I relaxed a little and watched Cui Mingde and Dugu Shao come over and greet them one by one.
Spring travel, it is not as particular as the palace, Li Sheng is in the lord, I am under him, men and women sit together, Wei Ji has the highest position, next to my seat, I chatted with him for a while, and then slowly went around to Wei Huan and asked him: "Wei Gong said that Ah Huan is naughty at home, what kind of naughty method is it?" β
Wei Ji smiled and said: "She has not been like other little girls since she was a child, she doesn't like female red makeup, but she likes to ride and shoot, when she was eleven or twelve years old, her brothers of the same age are often better than her, good at bowing, but her father doesn't let her, so she often secretly plays ball outside..."
Now that the family has thousands of children at every turn, Wei Ji can remember that Wei Huan "likes to ride and shoot and drive", then Wei Huan must be quite good at these things, but the last time we went hunting, she said that she couldn't shoot arrows... I didn't reply to Wei Ji's words, but just asked, "Ah Huan... Is archery good?"
Wei Ji was stunned, but it was not good to praise his own children, so he said vaguely: "Naturally, it can't be compared with the talented people in the palace, but it can only shoot some wild pheasants and hares, and occasionally hunt for head-hunting deer." β
The more I felt bad in my heart, but it was not good to have a seizure, so I hurriedly pointed to the middle of the field and smiled: "This is a new dance in the teaching workshop?"
Wei Ji said knowingly: "It is a dance music adapted from the queen's old work, called "Ruyi Niang". β
When the maiko heard us speak, he twisted his waist more and more softly, and a pair of autumn water cut pupils looked at this side, Wei Ji, the old man, was hooked, smiled at her, and said to me: "Look at Zhu Chengbi's thoughts, haggard and fragmented as Yijun." I didn't believe that I would cry for a long time, and I opened the box and inspected the pomegranate skirt - the queen has always been solemn and dignified, and I can't imagine that she can linger and sympathize with her. β
I just saw that Wei Ji was a shrewd and capable Si Nong, but at this time, I felt that he was a thief and a rat, not a good person, and I thought that his praise for his mother was too clumsy, so he said: "A-Niang's calligraphy is all exquisite, but as a queen, she has no time to do these carving paths." β
Wei Ji was bored, so I had to laugh and watch the song and dance, I sat down for a while, all I thought about was Wei Huan's deception of me, and from this to the fact that she coaxed me to compete with Wei Xin in the past, I gradually felt that she was clever and ill-intentioned, with such a heart, and then look at what she has done every day, there is no place that is not the city government is deep, suspicious, I don't know how sincere she has been to me!
Li Sheng suddenly called me: "Son?"
When I looked up, I saw that his eyes were full of concern and asked, "Is it because you are not feeling well?"
I pursed my lips and said, "Maybe the wind is blowing on the water, and my heart hurts." "This is a problem I have since I was a child, Li Sheng did not doubt that he had him, and even ordered him to stop the music and dance, and asked someone to send me into the inner cabin to rest, I simply took this opportunity to resign, all the way in the car holding my knees and thinking about my thoughts, and when I returned to Lichuntai, it was Wei Huan who led a few palace people to come out to meet me, as soon as I saw her, there seemed to be a fire in my heart, and I said viciously: "What day is today, how can you Wei Siniang come to serve me?"
Wei Huan was still picking up my coat, but he was stunned by my words, withdrew his hand, bowed his head and said: "The queen of heaven summoned Song Niangzi, and Song Niangzi ordered the concubine to clean up the summer clothes for her for the time being." As she spoke, I saw that there were many chests in the temple, all of which were divided into two groups, one spread out, full of freshly made summer clothes, and the other with my old clothes.
Wei Huan saw me staring at the box, and explained softly: "The lady has grown a lot taller, and last year's clothes can no longer be worn, Song Niangzi's meaning is to choose a few good pieces of the old ones and bring them back to the capital, and the rest will be stored here." On His Majesty's birthday this month, the new dress has also been delivered, and the lady will try it, if it doesn't fit, quickly ask them to change it. β
She is soft-spoken when she sees me these days, and any palace person around me is in this tone when she speaks to me, but I was angered by her tone, and said with a cold face: "When will you take care of my daily life?"
Wei Huan finally took a serious look at me and said, "Then the concubine asked Ah Yuan to come in?"
I took a step forward and fixed it in front of her, and her face was stunned for a moment, and then she said, "What does the lady command?"
I kept staring into her eyes as she spoke, and there was a bit of anger in her eyes, and it was impossible for my palace people to have such anger -- look, I just said that she was scheming and harboring evil intentions? Obviously, she was impatient to serve me, and disliked me for being temperamental and moody, but she had to pretend to be well-behaved and coax me to do things for her! With my heart for her, whatever she wanted, as long as she said a word to me, how could I bear to refuse? She wanted to use such means, just afraid that from the very beginning, she would regard me as a "boss" Come to please, those friends and the like, those empathetic reliefs under the moon, all fake!
I imagined that I should be angry, but tears flowed down from the corners of my eyes, first one by one, then into a string, and then into a string, and then into a string, these nasty droplets of water slid down my cheeks, dripping on the ground, splashing my feet, I only then found myself impulsively, into the inner room has not taken off the shoes, so I fiercely put the two feet together, each lifted, the right foot of the shoe kicked off, but the left foot could not be kicked for a long time, had to bend down, Wei Huan had already squatted down one step ahead of me, gently took off the shoes, and picked up the shoes of the right foot, when I got up, I grabbed it, and half raised his eyes to look at meγ
The eyes are still the same eyes, and they are still as beautiful as in the old days, but I used to look at these eyes and I was full of joy and troubles, but now I only feel chest tightness and bitterness, and my eyes seem to have turned into Baotu Spring, and the spring water is bubbling out.
Wei Huan wanted to wipe away my tears, but when his hand reached halfway, he was slapped away by me, so he slowly straightened up, bowed his head and said, "Concubine, please retire." β
I told her, "Stop!" and she bowed to me, burying her head so low that I couldn't see her face even when I was bent over.
I got along with her so quickly, but I was more estranged from her, I had a lot of questions to say to her, but I couldn't say a word under such alienation, I still had a lot of resentment and wanted to vent to her, but even under such alienation, I still didn't want her to be punished for me, and as long as I said a heavy word, even if it was just a simple word "get out", she might be ostracized by the people in my temple, and called by the deacons to scold. was even expelled from the palace, it's ridiculous that I still think about her like this, she is full of thoughts, but probably only how to lie to me, right?
After a long time, when my tears stopped and the tears on my face were dry and painful, I took a deep breath and said, "I want to wash my face." β
Wei Huan looked up in surprise, my eyes were dry and astringent, urging her: "Go quickly!" She hurriedly brought water, I took the first step of her, threw a wet hand towel myself, wiped my face clean, straightened my clothes, and waited for people to come.
Sure enough, as soon as Wei Huan took the basin out, a messenger from his mother came and said to me with a smile: "Your Majesty summons the princess." β
I went out with him expressionlessly, and I desperately wanted to leave the palace and open the mansion.
