Chapter 19
When I met Zhizhi, in the winter of the seventh year of Jiarui, it snowed heavily in Chang'an, and the Hanyuan Hall was lonely and gloomy.
The reason why I still remember when I fell seriously ill later was because of Zhizhi's nagging in my ear every day:
"Princess, the slave has been with you since you were seven years old, why is the princess still so embarrassed by the slave after so many years?"
"Princess, princess, I have been by your side since I was a child, how many times have I told you to be cautious in your words and deeds, why does the princess still not listen?"
"Princess, when will the slave and maid not worry about you? You always think the slave and the maid are verbose, and the slave and maid are also for your good......"
"Princess...... Princess......"
On the way back to the palace, the wind rose, and the heavy splendid drapes isolated the bitter wind and cold. I listened to the sound of the wind whistling outside the warm car, and it seemed that Zhizhi was calling me. Anxious, blamed, helpless, embarrassed...... One by one, the sound gradually faded.
"Princess, you have found such a good home for Sister Zhizhi, she must be very happy......"
Sijiu's unconfident voice came from outside, and I thought he was kind and relieved, but I still didn't know how to answer.
Should I go along with the boastful and sympathetic virtues and deference of my subordinates?
The Queen Mother promised that she would personally make the decision for Jing Hong and give Zhizhi to Jing Hong.
Zhizhi has been with me for 11 years, and the gift I gave as a thank you was actually sent to the deep palace that worried her more than the Lingxi Palace.
There was unspeakable depression in my heart, and the bleak cold wind blew by, and a chill hit my back, and for a moment my mind went blank.
Nothing to say all the way.
Not long after returning to the Lingxi Palace, Zhizhi returned from the Canghua Palace, looking in a hurry, rummaging around to find something, turning around and wanting to leave.
I smiled helplessly: "Now you can't tell who is your master, come back for a while and hurry to leave, Lingxi Palace hasn't driven you yet." ”
Zhizhi chuckled: "Sijiu and Jinglan took good care of the princess, and her body recovered quickly, and the slave maid listened to it a lot of peace of mind every day." It's just that the Fourth Highness ......" She hesitated for a moment, then stopped.
I know that Dao Jinghong is still blaming me, Bi Yu listens to my words and no longer waits closely, he must make a few times a day.
I looked at what Zhizhi was holding in her hand and changed the subject: "What are you holding in your hand?"
"Oh, it's the wooden sword that His Royal Highness loved to play with when he was a child, and today he remembered that the slave remembered that it was stored in the palace, so he came back to get it. As he spoke, he shook the small wooden sword in his hand at me, "Princess, do you remember?"
I chuckled and shook my head: "I don't remember." ”
Zhizhi was already used to it, pursed her lips and said with a smile: "In the past, when the slave maid was in the Hanyuan Hall with the princess and His Royal Highness, the princess always loved to grab this wooden sword with His Royal Highness, and no matter how others persuaded her, she would not let her younger brother. Later, His Highness had no choice but to give you this wooden sword. ”
"So my toughness has been around since then, it's really ......," I was a little amused, paused, and said, "You remember this very well." ”
Zhizhi nodded: "The slave and maid have no ability, but about the princess and Her Royal Highness, everything is detailed, and the slave and maid remember it." ”
I looked at her and listened to her, and my heart was mixed for a while:
"Zhizhi, if I found a family for you, would you be willing?"
"Princess, why did you think of this?" Zhizhi was a little shy, with a tangled and hesitant expression, "In this way, it's not that I can't take care of the princess and Her Royal Highness......"
She's been with me for years, and I've never had a moment when I was so afraid to look into her eyes as I do now.
I struggled to turn my head away, gritted my teeth and said, "Don't worry, you will always be with me and my brother." ”
Her body stiffened, and her face was full of panic: "What the princess said is ......"
I let out a long sigh, and finally closed my eyes and didn't want to look at her again: "Zhizhi, don't blame me. ”
Actually, I don't know who to blame from the beginning to the end.
Blame Jinghong for being stubborn, blame Lian Xizui for being fast, or blame me for being incompetent?
I stood under the eaves and watched Zhizhi slowly walk out of the Lingxi Palace with heavy steps, just like watching her happiness be pushed into the unknown by my own hands.
The vast bells of the Xuanji Pagoda echoed in the cold wind, one wrong step, one wrong step.
I was at my end and had no choice but to keep going.
After dinner, Sijiu responded to my request, moved a leather rattan chair and rested it under the eaves of the courtyard, and I hugged the fox fur and lay in it, looking at the bright night sky, and my mind was empty.
A strong wind from noon blew away all the impermeable dark clouds on the horizon. The night was clear and cloudless, and the sky was full of stars.
"Xiao Yue'er, it's almost upset outside, you still have such leisure and elegance!"
I raised my eyes and saw that King Yan was dressed in his usual clothes, holding the jar wine in his hand, and walked straight to me.
"Let's see what good things Uncle Huang has brought. ”
I saw clearly that he was holding a jar of celadon wine in his hand, and said, "Is Uncle Huang intent on attracting the gluttonous worm in Yue'er's heart? Knowing that I have not recovered from my illness, I still take pear blossom brew to seduce Yue'er." ”
"Ha Luha, you girl!" King Yan casually sat on the leather rattan chair that Sijiu had added for him, moved to my side, and opened the wine seal, and the smell of wine was soft and clear.
"When did the widow say he was going to bring it to you? I just want you to watch the widow drink it!" he said, and took a sip with his head up.
I looked greedy, but I knew that it was not easy to snatch the wine from the hands of an old man like him, so I sniffled and asked, "Uncle Huang rarely came to see Yue'er tonight, I'm afraid it's not just to make Yue'er greedy." ”
King Yan burped happily, his narrow phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and said, "Then you say, what else can the widow do with you?"
I tilted my head and thought for a moment, and said, "Let's say, come to visit me, let's say, blame me for being angry with your mother, let's say, ......."
"So you have many reasons for the widow to come to you. King Yan teased, reached out and touched my head, "This fall didn't break your brain." ”
I shook my head and sighed, "Uncle Huang, it's never been better. ”
King Yan laughed and said, "You still have some self-knowledge. ”
Hearing what he said, I asked, "Why is Uncle Huang looking for me?"
King Yan asked straight to the point: "Did you go all the way to the Xuanshu Hall with Shen Zhan today?" There was a bit of sharpness in his lazy eyes, staring at my face, as if he was catching the slightest change in my face.
I replied, "Yes." Seeing that his expression had not changed, he paused, and then said, "Uncle Huang still wants to know what Lu Dao wants?"
While drinking, he lazily spoke: "The widow is ridiculous for half his life, and he never asks about the government. Over the years, Shen Zhan has supervised Yan Guo, if you have something to look for him, you are quite smart. ”
I didn't expect King Yan's heart to be like a mirror, and he broke my mind with one word.
I didn't want to hide it anymore, so I just asked him, "Uncle Huang, do you think the weather is good tonight?"
"I thought that the wind was strong and there was snow, but who knew that the dark clouds of the past few days were blown away. King Yan leaned in the chair carelessly, with his hands behind his head, "The widow has no hobbies, and the beauty of the wine and the beautiful scenery is enough in this life." ”
After that, he raised his head and drank the pear blossom brew by himself.
I said, "Uncle Huang just have to taste wine and watch the stars with peace of mind, the wind is about to rise in Chang'an, and there will be more stars in the night after the wind than now." ”
King Yan was a little drunk, and after a while, he chuckled lightly and said noncommittally: "Yue'er, the widow only asks about this, and there is only one thing to ask for." ”
King Yan has been free and easy all his life, and he has never asked for help, but today he said such words, which really made me stunned: "Uncle Huang, please say, it seems to be a life." ”
He looked at me for a long time with a slightly drunken face, and said, "Give the portrait in your dormitory to the widow." ”
