Chapter 1879 - My Freedom, It's Hard to Buy
His eyebrows frowned slightly: "You treat her as a friend?"
I said calmly, "I said, it's better to have a friend than an enemy." β
He said: "I don't think you want to be friends with any of the 'women' here. β
I looked up at him, "Why not?"
ββ¦β¦β
He was silent for a long time, and kept looking at my clear eyes and was silent, until the palace 'female' eunuch had come in to deliver dinner outside, and then broke the silence in the dormitory, and I threw all the Buddhist scriptures I had written into the brazier and burned them, and in the flames, Pei Yuanxiu's eyes slowly became cold.
He still finds time to come over to eat with me every day, sometimes for lunch, sometimes for dinner, but he alone does not make this quiet dormitory more lively, often when he is there, I am more silent, and the two of them finish a bowl of rice opposite each other, and they can't even say a word.
It's just that I've heard more or less that the turmoil in the camp in Xishan seems to have been quelled.
I don't quite understand how he did it, after all, when it comes to the interests of both sides, the people of Jinling are definitely not willing to be thrown off after being used, just as an honest stepping stone;
I was still thinking about this, and on this day, I heard someone outside say that Pei Yuanxiu had gone to the palace where Miss Geldi lived.
When the news came, I was sitting on my couch reading a book and someone brought me hot tea.
When the 'girl' of the small palace poured me tea, she looked at me very carefully, for fear that I would get angry all my life, so she raised her hand and overturned the teaglass, but I just nodded lightly and said, "I know." β
Probably thinking, in fact, I didn't know, the little palace 'girl' said softly: "I went at lunchtime, and I haven't come out yet." β
Looking at her alarmist look, I smiled and said, "Really?"
"yes. β
"Oh. "I originally wanted to end this conversation, but seeing that the 'girl' of the small palace didn't seem to want to end there, and continued to talk, I said: "Pei Gongzi past, do you have any other instructions?"
She thought for a moment: "It seems that it is, I asked someone to send a pen and paper." β
"That's it, they're practicing calligraphy together. β
"How can you practice for an ......afternoon?"
I got a little impatient, so I said, "Don't I write all afternoon?"
"......" The little palace 'girl' was a little stupid, looking at me in a daze, I sighed, and 'touched' a silver 'naked' from the side and handed it to her: "You have a heart, I know about this matter." Go down. β
She happily took it, thanked her, and then turned and walked out.
However, as soon as she walked to the 'door', she stopped and said softly, "Miss Zitong?"
Han Zitong is here?
My ears immediately moved, and I was about to get up from the couch subconsciously, but after thinking about it, I lay down again, turned the page of the book in my hand, and heard a sound of slowly swallowing footsteps, Han Zitong walked up from under the steps, until I walked to the 'door', and the 'girl' of the small palace hurriedly stepped aside and gave way to her.
She stepped in.
I looked up from my book and looked at her with a smile: "You're here?"
She looked at me and didn't speak, and I said to the little palace 'girl', "Pour another cup of tea." β
"Yes. β
The tea was quickly poured and put on the table, and Han Zitong also went over and sat at the table, but she didn't speak, just looked at me with a very solemn face, and waited until the small palace 'girl' withdrew and closed the room' door, her eyes flickered, as if she was about to speak, but her lips opened and closed, but she didn't say a word.
I smiled and said, "If it's cold, let's take a sip of tea first." β
She lowered her head and took a sip of tea, the heat of the tea helped her dispel the coolness brought from the outside, but it didn't seem to dispel the chill in her heart, her face 'color' had recovered a little ruddy, but her eyes still seemed very condensed, and at this time she said, "What do you want to do?"
"What?"
"Didn't you say before that you wanted to help me?"
"That's what I said. β
"If you want to help me, why-"
I raised my eyebrows, of course, I also understood why she finally couldn't hold her breath today, so I slowly closed the book and put it aside, and said: "I want to help, and I want others to accept my affection, in the end, I help because I want to, not because I owe." β
ββ¦β¦β
"Fortunately, there are still people in this world who know how to seize opportunities. β
Her face changed, and she immediately said, "Did you really ask him to let Yuan Xiu go to her?"
I just looked at her with a smile and didn't answer.
Her face was red and white, and it was already very ugly, and her voice changed a little when she spoke at this time: "Didn't you say that you have a grudge against them?
I slowly sat up straight on the 'bed': "Of course I don't want to shoot myself in the foot, but if the other party wants to break off my past suspicions with me, they can even form an alliance with me...... On the other side, there is no interest at all, and I can't help but laugh at the grudge. In the final analysis, grievances and hatreds are worth a few dollars, but my freedom is hard to buy. β
Her face was even more ugly.
I think in the past few days, she has not had an easy time at all, from the corners of her slightly blue eyes, the red bloodshot in her eyes can be seen, she has probably been thinking about this all the time, and she has been thinking about it so much, but just when she was swaying, my side got closer to Geerdi, and even Pei Yuanxiu had some 'friendship' with Geerdi, how could she not be angry.
However, I didn't plan to tell her the truth.
After all, sometimes people can't go that far without being 'forced'.
After a while, Han Zitong was out of breath, although he was just sitting there, he seemed to be tired, and said, "Then what are you thinking now?"
I slowly stood up on the couch and walked in front of her, looking down at her: "What I said, to this day, still works." β
ββ¦β¦οΌβ
Her eyes flashed immediately.
I continued, "However, if you delay any longer, it may not work." β
"Why?"
I smiled faintly and said, "Men, there will always be some differences between 'women' who have had skin to skin with them. β
ββ¦β¦οΌβ
I heard her throat clearly, and she sat tense on the stool, staring straight into my eyes: "What did you say?
ββ¦β¦β
"You meanβ"
"Don't worry, it's not yet. β
ββ¦β¦β
However, that doesn't mean there won't be one in the future. Maybe in a few more daysβ"
I looked at her, and she shuddered.
I smiled and said, "You know, not everyone has the patience to wait for ten years, or even longer, like you, especially now, Pei Yuanxiu is in such a position, standing in such a position, in a few days, I am afraid that countless 'flower' butterflies will pounce on him, when the time comes-" I hooked the corner of my mouth, looked at her with a smile, and looked her up and down: "What do you think, how many chances do you have to win?"
ββ¦β¦β
"Not to mention how many officials in the capital have already set their eyes on this harem, just the Song family - I heard that Song Huaiyi's younger brother plans to send his little 'daughter' into the palace, she is only sixteen years old, young and beautiful. β
Han Zitong's face suddenly turned pale.
In fact, before, Shengjing sent Geldi and Tana, these 'girl' children, should have been a vigilance, but her mind was still just doing things, just on her sister's body, she didn't notice at all, she was no longer facing a few 'women', but a whole "harem";
Song Huaiyi also made great contributions in the First Battle of Cangzhou, and when the 'daughter' of the Song family entered the palace, Pei Yuanxiu categorically couldn't be wronged.
Seeing that her face was getting paler and paler, I smiled and said, "However, it's too early to say this, and at the moment you are only facing the 'girls' of Shengjing, and it is only Miss Gerdy." If you can't grasp the opportunity now, then in the future, your path may be really difficult. β
She was completely speechless, and even sat there not even knowing what she should do, one hand was 'groping' on the table to pick up the teacup, but the teacup was touched with a shake of her hand, and the tea suddenly spilled out, but fortunately, the water was not hot and did not hurt her.
She was scrambling to clean up, but I reached out and grabbed her wrist.
She looked up at me, her eyes were full of 'chaos' and 'chaos', and I slowly said at this time: "Your age is not small. β
ββ¦β¦οΌβ
This sentence is like the last straw that broke the camel's back.
I clearly heard the sound of her heart pounding, the last bit of light in her eyes seemed to be extinguished, she looked at me for a long time, and then slowly lowered her head to look at herself reflected in the puddle of water on the table.
It has been several years since she first met me by the river.
In a woman's life, there are not so many years and months that can be consumed in vain like the passage of a river.
She lowered her head, closed her eyes, and was silent for a long time, while I waited quietly, feeling that the wrist that I was holding in the palm of my hand, which was trembling, slowly stabilized at this time, she slowly broke free of my hand, and then raised her eyes to look at me.
"Okay, I promise you. β
ββ¦β¦β
"I'll help you, you help me!"
