Chapter 31
"You're here. I glanced at Yu Ruo, who was still wrapped in the cold outside the house, and his face was red from the snow.
The two cups of sparrow's tongue were steaming, the earth dragon in the hall was burning vigorously, and the room was filled with the fragrance of tea.
She sat down beside me with a smile and said, "The princess was assassinated, and my aunt asked me to come to see you today, and brought some gifts by the way." ”
A maidservant beside me who looked at her was holding a few brocade boxes and presented them to me.
Seeing that I didn't react much, Su Ruo said embarrassedly: "The princess also knows that the East Palace is not as good as in the past this year, and the prince is now banned, and the filial piety under the New Year is naturally less, so the princess should not dislike it." I don't know if the princess is better, tonight Fengyingtai night banquet, if you want the princess to go together. ”
"It doesn't hurt. I half-lay on the bed and said lightly: "Donggong has a heart, and he is still willing to come to see me, a sick man, on the cusp of the wind, is he not afraid that he will be seen and say that he intends to stammer?"
I was shocked, and I didn't know what to take.
Seeing that she was speechless, I changed the conversation and asked, "Why didn't Su Xiang see anyone today?"
She thought for a moment and said, "I sent her away." ”
I asked, "Why is that?"
Yu Ruo bit her lower lip, and after a while she said, "It wasn't the prince and the concubine who were bumped into by the grandmother who was beaten by the court that night...... It's Su Xiang. ”
I glanced at her, and although I knew that Concubine Shu was wronged, I didn't expect it to be like this.
"At that time, the prince was busy making folds and slept in the study every day, Su Xiang told me that she was willing to go and serve at night, and I didn't doubt him, so I agreed. ”
Me: "Then how did you become a lady when you confessed?"
Su Xiang put a flattering medicine in the prince's tea, and after drinking it, he was delirious, and he didn't know what he had done, so the prince didn't know at all, and the lady concubine who listened to others really thought that he had committed a big crime. ”
"It's really strange, so how did you notice it?"
"When I forced a confession that day, it was Su Xiang who confessed to Concubine Shu, at that time, I only thought she was acting impulsively for my injustice, and in the past two days, I saw that her whereabouts have become sneaky, and I sent someone to follow her, only to find out that she had already been bought by Xiao Guifei and deliberately framed the prince and the concubine. ”
I secretly sighed that the time to come was finally here, and frowned: "Su Xiang is the only person who can prove the innocence of the prince and the harem concubines, if you let her go, you are not afraid that the prince will not be able to turn over?"
"This ......"
I put down the teacup and looked directly at her: "Are you afraid that if this matter is revealed, the prince will hinder all kinds of Nasu incense as a concubine, and she will serve a husband with you, and you can't hold your face, right?"
"I'm ......" Ruo lowered her head, avoiding my gaze.
I closed my eyes helplessly: "The lord of the East Palace, the mother of a country in the future Great Zhou, is still guarding an indisputable thing to be a low-voiced resentful woman here, which is more important, you can weigh it yourself." ”
Her body shook suddenly, and she was silent, trembling slightly.
I asked her coldly, "Are you cold?"
"Princess, it's cold-hearted. ”
I looked at her, her weak body looked even thinner in the dark flower cloud brocade palace suit, and my heart was mixed for a while, and I was inexplicably sad.
Zhizhi sent Yu Ruo back, saw me standing by the window and looked at the heavy snow outside the house, and sighed: "Princess, just now I sent the princess back and didn't walk a few steps, I heard the princess slap the new little girl next to her a few times, which attracted the attention of many people. ”
I turned the Pixiu wrench in my hand, and my fingertips were dyed with the coldness of mutton fat jade.
"There are too many delusions, how can there be a perfect method in the world? ”
After a while, there was a sound at the door again, Zhizhi pushed the door to look, and said to me happily: "Princess, the Fourth Highness has come to see you." ”
I turned my head to look out the door, Jing Hong hesitated for a moment, and walked up to me: "Sister......"
"Brother, you're here. ”
Jing Hong nodded and said, "The news of Sister's assassination has spread all over the palace, and Bi Yu told me this morning, so scared that I hurried over." ”
I straightened his shirt and said, "It's okay, my sister was with General Yuwen that day, and she didn't suffer any other injuries." ”
"But Sister...... Jing Hong wanted to speak and stopped, "Aren't you unwilling to do this family business?"
I looked at Jing Hong, my heart sank, and I only said on my face: "The general is the pride of the heavens of the Great Zhou, I rejected him at the beginning, and I only recently discovered his goodness." "I think of the kiss he gave me, and it made me throb, and maybe there was some emotion for him in my heart.
"If my sister likes General Yuwen, this is a good thing, but don't wronged your sincerity because of other things. Jing Hong looked old at a young age, teaching me like an adult, I didn't answer, he said and spit out, "That...... In fact...... Sister......"
Seeing that he looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, I asked, "Is there anything else?"
"My sister found my lover, and my brother was also happy. It's just ......" Jing Hong muttered, "Sister, if I also like a woman recently, will you be happy for me and help me?"
I looked at him for a while, and the expression on my face didn't change: "Let's hear it." ”
"Concubine Niangniang was banned, I was cold-eyed every day during this time, and I couldn't help but be indignant when I went back, but fortunately, Bi Yan was on the side to take care of ...... My sister also knows that our queen mother went early, and if I like someone, I can only rely on you to help me get a name for her now. ”
"Me?" I didn't look at his expression, but said, "Wouldn't it be better for you to find the imperial grandmother for this matter?"
"This ......" Jing Hong was embarrassed.
"What you like is Bi Yu. I pierced his mind directly, "You are afraid that you will not be able to give her a good name if you find someone else, so you will come to me." Jing Hong, you suddenly mentioned this, but what happened?"
Jing Hong took a few deep breaths, and finally said in one go: "Sister, one day when you get drunk, Biyu and I will mess up the rules." ”
I listened to his words, and although I guessed a few points, I was still stunned.
The room was eerily quiet for a while.
"Sister......" Jing Hong tried to call me.
I asked him, "Are you sincere to Biyu?"
He was stunned, hesitated for a moment, and nodded solemnly.
"Do you want me to go to my father's place to help Bi Yu get a name?"
Jing Hong nodded: "Exactly." ”
"Bi Yu has been with you for a few years, and she has done things very properly, and I am at ease that she will take care of you. But you must know that you are a prince, even if I ask her for you with a three-inch clever tongue, the main lord of your house cannot be her, are you willing?"
His expression on his face moved slightly, and he only said, "I'm afraid that I will wronged Bi Yan." ”
I got up and looked out the window at the palace walls: "The Emperor's House has always been involuntarily, if you have to care about this grievance, why should you be emotional in the first place?"
Jing Hong looked at me and was silent for a long time.
After he left, Zhizhi came into the house and asked me, "Princess, why did Your Highness look so sad when she left?"
I closed my eyes and clenched my wrench in my hand, and the chill hit me outside the window.
"Sister, since I can't give Bi Yu a complete heart, I can't delay her life in the deep palace because of my selfish......ness!
Jing Hong's words before leaving echoed in his ears, with a bleak cold wind, and he became sad for no reason.
I didn't know how to answer, but Zhizhi waited on the side and didn't move. After a while, I said, "You let Sijiu go to find out Biyu's life experience." Also, help me find a painting in the Xuanji Pagoda. ”
Zhizhi was puzzled: "Princess, what painting?"
"If you look for it, the woman in the portrait may be me. ”
