Chapter 676: Tenderness with Ten Fingers Interlocked
cpa300_4(); On that day, the snow fell very heavily.
Although I didn't feel anything around me, I still remember that day when I walked back step by step from outside Pei Yuanzhen's house, the snow was pouring down like crazy, almost burying the whole earth.
And I was in this snow, one foot deep and one foot shallow, and I was about to fall several times, but I kept walking.
When I walked back to Jingren Palace, I saw that my house had already been cleaned up, and Shui Xiu had been following me, so I came forward and said, "My lord, the emperor said yesterday that he would move to Yihua Hall today." ”
I looked back in the snow in a daze.
The heart, like this room, is empty.
After a while, I saw Mama Wu and a few other little eunuchs who had received the news running over to pick me up with umbrellas, and I didn't pay much attention when I was far away, but when I walked in, I saw my pale face like a dead person, Mama Wu was startled: "What's the matter?"
Bent down and grabbed my hand and squeezed it: "It's so cold!"
Shui Xiu muttered: "My lord, I came back from the outside." ”
"It's okay!"
Mama Wu looked at me again, and hurriedly escorted me out.
How did I get to Yihua Palace, I don't feel it anymore, I just remember that I was pushed into the house by them like a puppet, the stove burned very strongly, the room was warm, and all the snow foam brought by my body melted, but I stood in the middle of the room, and I still felt that I was alone, very cold.
Mama Wu found hot water for me to warm my hands and feet, and at the same time asked people to boil ginger soup over, so busy that people turned over on their backs, and did not forget to scold Shui Xiu: "Let you follow, how did you follow? The adults were frozen like this, and you watched from the side? I see that your little hooves are getting worse and worse!"
Shui Xiu has been squatting beside me, and at this time he carefully wiped my hands, raised his head to look at me, and opened his mouth silently.
"Say, aren't you usually very smart?"
"I think it's a little better for the adults to come back like this. ”
“……”
Mama Wu was stunned for a moment, then raised her head to look at me again.
I sat on the edge of the bed, there was no breath, let them fiddle back and forth without making a sound, Mama Wu stopped talking, carefully helped me warm up, then pushed to the bed to rest, covered with a thick brocade quilt.
I was in this strange palace, curled up, and fell asleep alone.
I slept in a daze, and I could feel that someone was guarding me, and my heart was almost boiling as if I was going to crack my body, but no matter what, there was no way to find someone to talk to, and they also knew that my heart was burning in a panic, and I didn't say a word, and after all, I had a mouthful of fire.
In my dreams, I was shaking in pain.
When I felt that I was being held, I didn't know how many ups and downs I had in the nightmare, as if I was suffocating like drowning, and then I heard a deep voice calling me softly: "Qingying ......"
When I opened my eyes, I felt that my eyes were also very dry, as if I had been crying for too long, I was still a little dazed looking at the drapes hanging from the bed, and the herbs embroidered with water-colored silk threads looked like they were still in a dream, and the voice whispered in my ears again: "Awake?"
“……”
I slowly turned around and saw Pei Yuanhao.
The vision was a little blurry, the first thing I saw was his heavy coat hanging on the wooden frame next to the bed, I don't know how long he had been here, the snow on his clothes had probably melted early, and there were only a few sporadic halos on the ground; he slept on the bed wearing only a close-fitting lapton, his hands tightly wrapped around me, and his body temperature was like the water bursting the embankment spreading endlessly.
I didn't speak, just looked at him in a daze.
There was no smile on his face, but his eyes were still very gentle, and he slowly pulled his hand from the quilt and rubbed my chin, and his rough thumb moved and stroked my lips.
I flinched in pain.
"Does it hurt?"
“……”
"It will pass. ”
I listened and still didn't move, just looked at him like this, maybe because of his cold temperament, and his face was also devoid of expression all the year round, and the lines seemed more cold and hard than when he was a prince, but when he laughed, that unexpected gentleness was enough to drown many people.
My vision blurred a little, along with the smile on my face, but I just looked at him a little lazily and smiled, "yes." ”
“……”
"It's always going to pass. ”
Once, in the most difficult time, I didn't also tell myself, and every qiē would pass, and at this time, it was the same.
Seeing my smile, he was slightly shocked, and his hands hugged me tightly in the quilt again, holding my slender body tightly in his arms, he rested his chin in my shoulder socket, rubbing my neck and face with his somewhat hot cheeks, and exhaled indescribably lingering: "Young baby......"
I didn't speak, I felt his hand slowly move along my waist to my shoulder and arm, and then covered my hand, ten fingers interlocked, with a bit of lingering meaning, chuckling: "Look at you, it's true that you are a child, you are sick, how can I let you take care of Nianshen." ”
My heart trembled as I listened.
I was about to turn around and say something to him, but I heard him say softly: "You will be sick for a while, and before I get up, you will make me better." ”
“……”
"I'll leave this son to you. ”。
Later, I learned that I was sick in Yihua Hall for two days.
Of course, the news that the emperor came to visit in person can't hide it, and he didn't leave my room for a whole day, although everyone is not good at saying anything on the surface, but it is enough to become the talk of many people to guess, and everyone is even more sideways to me as a Jixian orthography, no matter how many rumors there were before, after all, at this time, I have not been officially canonized.
I don't know if it was intentional or not, since that day, Qinghan and I haven't seen each other again.
No matter how sick I was, or the emperor ordered him to personally accompany the injured eldest princess to study in the palace, he didn't come to visit me, and I didn't go to give him a meaningful message like other courtiers, the two of them suddenly seemed to be put into two completely different worlds, he couldn't see me, and I couldn't touch him.
In this way, the snow has not stopped, and it will not be long before it is time for the New Year.
Compared with the past, this illness is really not a serious illness, but as soon as I sat in front of the mirror, I realized that I had lost a lot of weight, and the little flesh that my chin had finally grown was gone, and Mama Wu stood behind her and sighed: "Everyone is fat in autumn and winter, look at you, adult-"
I smiled a little lazily.
After a while, I finished freshening up, put on a thick coat and went out to Jingren Palace, now it is only a few steps away from the past, Yihua Hall is still some distance from Chang Qing, Shui Xiu They carefully helped me over, just passed at the door, I heard Chang Qing's voice: "Qingying? Come in." ”
As soon as I entered the door, the first thing I saw was the pearl that greeted me.
As soon as she saw me, she immediately wanted to bow down, looking at me with very focused eyes, I only waved my hand slightly, and then walked in, and saw Chang Qing sitting on the couch, so I went over to salute, and she reached out to help me up: "Is it better?"
I nodded.
A warm smile appeared on her face, but after looking at me carefully, she was still a little worried: "I have lost so much weight." ”
I couldn't help but reach out and touch my cheek, and smiled: "Tomorrow's New Year's banquet, Weichen will eat more." ”
Chang Qing raised her head.
At the mention of the New Year's banquet, her eyes seemed to flash.
At this time, she raised her hand and pointed to the other end of the soft couch, I had just recovered from a serious illness, and I couldn't breathe even after standing for a long time, so I confessed my guilt, and walked over and sat down on the edge of the couch carefully.
A few of them are also clever, even Mingzhu, who has just come to Jingren Palace for a few days, is very eye-catching, turned around and walked out, the room is quiet as if only the green smoke in the incense burner is slowly steaming up, Chang Qing said softly: "At tomorrow's New Year's banquet, I'm afraid she will have to use her skills." ”
I laughed.
Nangong Lizhu suffered such a big loss here before, isn't it just because after the New Year's banquet, the period when there can be no large-scale celebrations and sacrifices in the palace that Yan Wuxian said, plus the power of the assistant six palaces mentioned when Chang Qing "entrusted" the second prince to her before, and the position of the concubine that she has long regarded as in her bag, these will all fall into her hands.
Although Chang Qing still looks calm and indifferent now, I also know that there are some things that she can't really be ignorant of.
I could even faintly see some wrinkles in the center of her eyebrows, which only people who frown a lot have.
I smiled softly, "Don't worry too much, Queen Mother, now-" I looked down at her still flat lower abdomen, and said softly, "It's better to take more care." ”
Seeing that I was really calm as if there was no ripple in the still water, the wrinkles in Chang Qing's eyebrows were even deeper, and she groaned for a long time before she said slowly: "Qingying, this palace also knows your ability, but you must remember a little-"
I looked at her.
"That, it's Nangong Lizhu. ”
That, it's Nangong Lizhu.
It's not the first time she's said this to me.
These days, I have been recuperating in Yihua Hall after recovering from my illness, and it is not that I have no opportunity to come over to say goodbye, but I have delayed them one by one, until today, there is no ventilation between me and her at all, and in the face of tomorrow's New Year's banquet, this is extremely inappropriate for her and for me.
She felt like I was leaving her out of something.
She said in a deep voice: "What's the matter, don't push the palace away." ”
My smile became softer: "Don't worry, the young baby knows." ”
Seeing that I didn't care about myself, she still wanted to say something, but before she could speak, I already said softly: "Niangniang is worried like this, it is not beneficial to the fetus." ”
“……”
"Don't worry. ”
