107. Jealousy
Since that day in the Imperial Garden, Kwong Xihui has come to me much less often.
Soon after we woke up in the morning, we casually asked the attendant, but she said that she had gone to the morning court; In the afternoon, he sent his attendants to ask for peace, and replied that His Majesty was meeting with the courtiers and had no time to leave; When he came to the door in person at night, he was told by the guards guarding the door that His Majesty had rested...... It didn't matter if it was a day or two, but it was like this for four or five days in a row, and a series of coincidences undoubtedly pointed to one point—she was avoiding me.
Was she the one who was hidden in the corner of the Imperial Garden that day? If so, what is the reason for her to leave and not want to see me until now?
I couldn't figure it out, and I couldn't pull my face to continue to entangle, so I had to endure all kinds of worries and continue to be an idle tourist.
After these few days of recuperation, the injury in the chest has gradually improved, and there is no need to stay in bed all day long and do nothing, and wander around the inner courtyard of the palace at will.
To say that I deserve to be a prince is also a failure, and those palace guards who know me either bypass me from afar or salute in fear when they see me, and they are more afraid than respectful, which shows how unpopular I used to be.
It's a pity that these days have gone around, but I have never met the shy little guy again, and even the entire imperial garden has lost its vitality, teaching people to be bored, even if the eyes are full of beautiful and elegant scenery, followed by the attendants who follow the same steps, but the loneliness in this heart can not be dispelled.
It was another afternoon, and the light was just right, but I was tired of seeing the scenery in the garden, and I went home unhappily, and only then did I step into the arch of the outer courtyard of the side hall and saw the guards guarding the door with solemn expressions, and their postures were erect, and they were more cold than usual; And a familiar palace attendant greeted the door, stomping small steps back and forth, looking restless, as if he was worried about something.
As if he could hear the movement on my side, he suddenly looked up, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly stepped forward on tiptoe, hurriedly bowed, and hid a bit of anxiety in his obedience: "Your Highness is back...... His Majesty had been waiting in the hall for a long time. ”
"Oh?" My steps paused, and I answered casually, but my heart involuntarily tightened--Kuang Xiyu is waiting for me in the palace?
After so many days, I am finally willing to come to see me!
After thinking about it, the pace that was about to speed up couldn't help but slow down again, and he intended to dry her for a while, so he pretended to be careless and nodded, "This king knows, you go back to your majesty, and say that you will wait for this king to change his clothes first and then go to face the saint." ”
"This ......," he looked at me hesitantly, and as I raised an eyebrow and looked back, he shuddered abruptly, "yes." ”
With a light snort, I brushed my sleeves and turned around, went straight to the bedroom to wash and change clothes, and felt that I had enough Qiao, so I straightened my clothes and walked slowly to the side hall where Kuang Xi was waiting.
I just don't want to admit the joy in my heart because she is finally willing to come to see me.
The side hall is burning with the incense of Siping Tianhe, and behind the bookcase in the side corner sits a woman in a black robe, holding a pen in one hand and holding the case in the other, her complexion is like snow, her bearing is like an abyss, quiet but not to be ignored, the first glance of the teacher passed through the huge side hall, and fell straight on her body - and after that, she couldn't take her eyes off it.
In the end, it was because of the displeasure of being avoided in the past few days, after a moment of trance, I quickly came back to my senses, deliberately increased my steps, intended to remind, but did not take the initiative to speak, nor did I talk to her, just signaled the palace attendant who followed up with my eyes to retreat, and then sat on the rosewood Taishi chair at the other end of the hall, rubbing the armrest, thinking about how to reply later.
I waited patiently for a while, but I didn't make a sound, and I looked up suspiciously, but I saw that the man had already put down the pen in his hand, and stare at me with one hand, the corners of his lips were slightly hooked, his eyes burned, and he didn't know how long he had been looking.
Being stared at with such a focused gaze, somehow, my face was hot, and I couldn't help but turn my face away, and coughed lightly in disguise: "It's rare, today is finally free...... Why are you looking at me like this? Isn't it too long since I saw it, I don't recognize it? As soon as the words came out, I bit my lip a little wryly, and regretted it for a while: I always felt that there was a sense of grief in these words for no reason, as if I were looking forward to seeing her.
And when you can't see people, you have a sense of resentment, like a few complaints between lovers, which is too ambiguous.
- What's wrong with me?
I was annoyed, but I heard the man chuckle, and then got up and walked around the Taishi chair where I was sitting, and walked to the seat opposite, and the clothes fluttered between the walks, and the sleeves of the shirt blew behind me intentionally or unintentionally, mixed with the scent of light incense and pine wood, and quietly floated, and with a bit of cold and cold, there was a special quiet and moving - as if a light leaf had fallen on the heart lake, slowly swirling, disturbing a pool of peace, and then drifting away by itself, leaving behind the circle of ripples, which lasted for a long time.
"I've been busy these days, and I'm thinking that you need to recuperate, so I didn't go to see you, but I heard the palace attendant say that you ran in the imperial garden all day long, and you weren't afraid of hurting your wounds?" She sat down across from me and looked at me for a while, only smiling slightly when my face became more and more embarrassed and almost burned.
"It's just a walk, it's not a big deal, and if you stay in this temple for a long time with nothing to do, your bones will be lazy." I also ignored my awkward thoughts and replied with a smile.
But I don't know what she thought, the smile on her face suddenly lightened, she looked at me with a heavy look, and suddenly said, "If you feel bored, do you want to participate in the court meeting?" I'm just afraid you won't be able to bear it. ”
――Is there a court?
I shook my head, not very interested.
"Well, you are not suitable for those chores in the first place, and it is only right to rest and recuperate," she lowered her head and took a sip of the hot tea brewed at hand, skimming the tea foam leisurely, and then continued, "Tomorrow, the county lord of Guang'an will come to see you, and it can be regarded as saying goodbye to the clan relatives before leaving the pavilion." ”
"The county lord of Guang'an?" I don't have the man in my mind—though I can't remember anyone now, but I don't have the slightest fluctuation about the name, as if I had never heard of it, which is strange.
"His name is Wei Shu, you've seen it," Kuang Xiyu took another sip of tea, but as if he was suppressing something, his expression was unnatural, "It's he who healed your injuries." ”
It turned out to be him, the man who had examined my injuries when I first woke up.
Speaking of which, the county lord of Guang'an is a saint of the apricot forest, but what makes me strange is: his name is Wei Shu, not the emperor's surname, could it be that he is from his father's surname?
Thinking of the man with a cold expression and a faint bit of sharpness, I couldn't help but be surprised, and blurted out: "He is actually going to get married?" Who is the woman? ”
"The eldest daughter of the emperor's master Yun Chong, Fu Ruohan," she said and paused, and glanced at me with a smile, that glance turned out to be Bai Mei suddenly sheng, teaching people to crisp their bones, but in the depths of her eyes, there was no smile, "It is also your royal husband, Fu Ruozhen's own sister." ”
- My ...... Wang Fu?
I should be glad I didn't pick up the teacup at hand, otherwise I would have been overwhelmed by her smiling eyes, not to mention the huge amount of information in the last half of the supplement, which I am afraid that no one would be able to digest in a short time.
It turns out that I already have a husband Wang...... So do I have any children?
When the words came to his mouth, he turned around, swallowed to himself, and didn't ask.
In addition to being surprised, her reaction was half a beat slower, and she smiled coldly and said meaningfully: "What, I think of your husband?" Also, before the son of the Fu family left the cabinet, he was a well-known handsome son, and it is natural for him to be favored by you...... Scold. ”
"What?" I don't understand why it was just a dazzling kung fu, her expression was so unpredictable for a moment, as if she was afraid of something, mocking something, and as if she was ...... Eat one's heart out.
But, jealousy?
Is it me or is it her?
The meeting ended up unhappily.
Seeing that I didn't answer for a long time, as if I acquiesced to her words, the sarcastic sneer on Kwong Xixi's face suddenly faded, and he returned to his usual expressionless face, his eyes lowered, and he no longer looked at me, and threw down a sentence in a low voice: "Rest early." And he got up and left.
My eyes followed her back outward, and I stroked the wound on my left side that had healed, only to feel a faint pain again.
Around midnight the next day, as she said, the attendant reported that the county lord of Guang'an asked to see her.
The man was dressed in a gorgeous suit, glamorous but cold as frost, and if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have been able to connect him with the medical path all the way.
"Wei Shu has seen His Royal Highness King Ling." He had made a standard salute to me, but before I could shout, he straightened up and looked me in the eyes with a hostility that I could not comprehend—and I could not be sure until this moment that what I had seen and felt was not a matter of heart.
He sat down reservedly, his eyes fluttering over the row of palace attendants standing behind me, and his intention was very obvious—I smiled knowingly, forgiving him for not daring to make any changes in the eyes of the crowd, and wanting to see what kind of medicine he had bought in the gourd, so I waved my hand and ordered the palace attendants to stand down, leaving only one to guard the door.
"The county lord of Guang'an came to see this king, why did he come to see him?" I don't believe the excuse given by Kuang Xihui for the so-called "farewell to the clan", this man clearly has other plans.
"It's nothing, let's see how you recover, by the way, a reminder to you," he stroked the auspicious cloud flow pattern on the hem of his sleeve, smiled meaningfully, and suddenly taught me a touch of awkwardness in my heart, "Keep your duty, people who shouldn't think about it, don't think about it." ”
"This king doesn't understand what you mean." I looked at him with a frown, but Kuang Xixi's deep and complicated eyes unexpectedly appeared in my heart.
"It's okay if you don't understand, you just need to remember that the king is the king, the minister is the minister, you are the king of Ling, the emperor's sister, but that's all." After he finished speaking, he casually dusted off his sleeves and put the dust that did not contain zài, got up and took a half step forward, bowed to me, only to hook his lips strangely at the moment he approached me, and said in a voice that only the two of us could hear: "I can cure you, and naturally I can abolish you!" To tell you the truth, in addition to the medicine you are taking, there is another thing I didn't tell you about it, ......
I let out a deep breath of turbidity, and let him leave wantonly, only to feel tired in my heart, and I had lost half of the strength to move.
"I'm afraid that His Highness's future heirs will be a little difficult." His thin red lips spat out cruel words, and he smiled happily, and the resentment in his eyes flashed away, but it was as thick as smudged ink, dripping and splashing, and he was powerless to resist.
- Kuang Xihan, I only hate, I can't poison you alive.
