Chapter 42: The Rising of the Sunset (16)
The woman in black lowered her head, and the veil had covered half of her face, so it was said that she couldn't see the expression on her face, but for some reason, Qiu Niang always felt a strange smile appear on her face under the veil.
Qiu Niang shuddered unconsciously and took a step back.
The woman in black stepped forward and said, "The concubine is afraid that she won't be able to help the queen." β
Huo Chengjun was not afraid of the coldness and weirdness of the woman in black, she flicked her fingertips and sneered: "Don't come with me!" Then he raised his hand and pushed a candlestick out of the table, and the brass candlestick fell to the ground with a screeching sound.
Qiu Niang knelt down in a panic: "The master is angry, resting...... Angry ......"
The woman in black hesitated slightly, and even knelt in front of Huo Chengjun with Qiu Niang: "The concubine knows her mistake, the queen mother has a lot of baggage, and the concubine is grateful!" β
Huo Chengjun glanced at it, very disdainful, and snapped his fingers: "Don't say that you can't help, I don't like to listen to this." She got up and took two steps, and when she approached the woman in black, she stretched out a finger and gently touched the black woman's cheek: "You could help many years ago, and now, it's the same." β
The woman in black clothes and black hat was weird and gloomy enough, but Huo Chengjun's momentum was even higher than her.
The woman in black reluctantly took a step back, and finally lowered her head: "The concubine's loyalty, from the past to the present, has never changed for a moment, and what can be done for the master, the concubine will do her best." It's just that...... The concubine is soft-spoken, and there are some things that it is not so easy for the concubine to mediate and act in the middle. β
"You bother," Huo Chengjun said with a smile, "Whether you can do it or not is different from whether you want to do it or not." I just wantβ" She tapped her hand on the woman's heart, "Look at your faithfulness." β
"The concubine's loyalty is, always has been, always there." She was a little choked, she never thought that Huo Chengjun had been away from the Son of Heaven and the Han Palace for many years, but he still had the momentum of Jiaofang Palace's non-anger and self-authority, and it was really tiring to talk to her.
Huo Chengjun took the incense burner on the case, pinched a silver needle, and carefully pulled out the incense ashes, regardless of whether the case was soiled or not; He began to stir up the fine spices and put them in the small incense burner......
She seemed careless and said, "...... You are all on this son, in the future, you are not allowed to say that you are 'soft-spoken', if you are still 'soft-spoken', then what am I? β
The woman in black was also a smart person, and as soon as she said this, she knew the meaning of Huo Chengjun's words. Because said: "Yes, the queen mother said yes." β
"And-" Huo Chengjun paused and said, "I don't like people threatening me." Especially, yes, you, you know? β
Huo Chengjun was laughing, smiling mellow and beautiful. She is no longer the eldest lady with the powerful Huo family behind her, but she is still so willful and acts without caring about the consequences. Even though he was standing under the low eaves today, he still refused to bow his head.
Others are really scared of her.
The woman in black pursed her lips and didn't speak for a long time.
"How?" Huo Chengjun was a little unhappy: "...... Do you still think you are free? As I told you earlier, you and I are now grasshoppers tied to a piece of grass, one is prosperous and the other is lost! She suddenly laughed at herself again: "How could I, Huo Chengjun, be down to the point where I am now?!" Yes, I don't have anything, but you remember me - I, Huo Chengjun, am not as rich as you, free without you, and happy without you, but ...... I have a crucial point! Hahaha, I've got you covered! β
She smiled childishly, Chenguang seemed to go back more than twenty years, she was still a young child, so fond of hide and seek, so fond of playing tricks.
The woman in black was stunned for a moment, and after a moment's relief, she knelt on the ground: "The queen mother is angry!" The concubine has always been the only queen mother, and she didn't dare to slack off, she didn't dare in the past, and now she doesn't dare! The concubine is willing to listen to the queen's instructions, and she will listen to the queen's mother! β
She thought that she would change her face so quickly, and she would have to accept Huo Chengjun's sneer, but what she didn't expect was that Huo Chengjun didn't take care of this, she lost her mind, as if her soul had been withdrawn just a moment ago, and she didn't care about what had just happened......
She muttered alone, "I don't want anything, I just want ...... Meet him. β
"Alas," Huo Chengjun sighed, "Sometimes, I really envy you, at least you can easily meet him!" β
It is obvious who "he" refers to. The owner is so affectionate, but there is no good return, and Qiu Niang, who came on the road, couldn't help crying.
The woman in black said: "Don't worry, the queen mother, I will find a way to let you see the king!" β
Huo Chengjun waved his hand: "Stop, stop, stop!" She stretched out her hand and gently touched her combed bun, only to feel that her fingertips were burning unbearablyβthat was her younger self! She used to comb her hair like this, she was flamboyant and confident, and the eyes of the king were always focused on her...... Back then, she was the only woman in the palace who could comb such a high bun, and when someone else's bun touched her, she always had to be three points shorter. It's conventional! No way, who let her Huo Chengjun be so domineering?
Her hand was still touching the high bun in the past, and gently, slid to the sideburns, how black and shiny it used to be! Nowadays, the gray hair is mixed, and I can't look at it if I haven't taken care of it for a long time.
She has such a big temperament, but she also wants to cry at this time: "That's it, what are you doing when you see him?" When I see him, I am also old, what is the use, what is the use? β
The women in the palace, youth is so short-lived.
In the blink of an eye, the flowing water is gone, and the spring is gone, looking back on another year.
How fast the year passes. Living a ...... Flick your fingers and be glamorous.
She is so old, in the cold Zhaotai Palace, wasted so many years.
Without eating half a cup of tea, the woman in black got up to leave.
Huo Chengjun was not embarrassed, but said: "If you have a conscience, you should do what I told you." β
The woman in black said goodbye and retreated: "Niangniang rest assured, one day when you have a concubine, you will not forget JΓ¬ Niangniang!" β
"Won't you forget jΓ¬?" Huo Chengjun sneered: "I really want to thank you for your concern, it turns out that you have been thinking about me, and I have only been in Zhaotai for so many years!" β
The woman in black was speechless for a while, she didn't think that Huo Chengjun would choke back like this.
Huo Chengjun leaned on the door frame, silently watching the woman in black step into the moonlight, gradually walking away...... Until I can't see it anymore.
Qiu Niang approached: "Master, let's go rest for a while......"
"Not tired." She waved her hand.
"The host, she ...... Is it reliable? β
"What do you say? Don't forget, she's the 'Anthus Man'! 'Anther Man' just like you! Control her, my little bit of doorway is more than enough...... Feel relieved. β
