119 Concentric
When I left three years ago, the roads in Mission Hills were not so wide, the shops on the streets were not as busy, and there were still a few beggars or two in the shadows around the corners.
Now it has a new look, which shows that the person on the throne is not stupid and incompetent.
She's also suitable for politics, right...... When I saw this scene, which can be regarded as a political and harmonious person, I felt both proud and honored, and a kind of sadness that was destined to be abandoned because of this world-no matter in the eyes of any person, I am not as important as this world.
The carriage soon arrived at the palace, and Yan Ke had already led a large group of people to guard the door, and he didn't know who leaked the news - I originally wanted to surprise her. But that's fine, if you want to say that the person who worries about me the most in Dawu, it must be Yan Ke, I didn't appreciate it much before, but now that I think about it, I'm really too selfish.
It would not be a good thing for her to know earlier and prepare happily.
"Your Highness has been working hard all the way, hot water and meals are ready, come with me." She took half a step forward and looked at me from head to toe with some excitement, thinking that if it weren't for the crowd and a circle of servants waiting around, she would have pounced on me and pulled my clothes to check and see if I had suffered and been injured, right?
"Aunt Ke doesn't have to worry, thanks to the care of Zen Master Konghui, everything is fine with this king." My aunt, who deliberately moved out of my monk's house, really taught her to put her mind at ease, no longer staring at me to check whether I was dark, thin, and haggard, but quickened her pace and led me all the way to the backyard - because of the past three years in the Lingjue Zen Temple Green Lantern Ancient Buddha's days, although it is not clear and hard, in the end, she also pays attention to the appropriate exercise every day, compared to the physique three years ago, I don't know how much better, and she effortlessly followed Yan Ke's footsteps, which surprised her.
In the backyard, it was the same as when I left, but there were no longer so many beautiful women who served the kings and beauties of Yingying Yanyan - in the three years I was outside, I replied to Yan Ke that I often instructed Yan Ke to release these poor people who were left in the palace and were destined to stay alone in the empty house for half their lives.
I always remember to dismiss everyone in the backyard and leave only one place for the person in my heart...... Although this promise is no longer necessary.
She wouldn't know, and she wouldn't care.
Although the backyard of the palace after the big cleaning is still not less popular, there is no smell of fat powder wafting in the air, and even the glamorous color that I always have suspicious fantasies has disappeared, which shows that it is really clean.
I thought that Yan Ke would take me to the courtyard of the prince, because she always tried her best to match me and the princess to give birth to a child, and I had always felt guilty about the princess in my heart, and I had something to tell him, so I followed the trend - just walking, I felt that something was wrong.
Even if I was not in the palace for three years, after all, I have been back and forth many times, and I still remember the road to the courtyard where the prince lived...... But this one is clearly not.
"Aunt Ke, where are you taking this king?" After enduring it for a long time, I saw that this was not the way to my bedroom Tianji Pavilion, so I finally pulled Yan Ke's sleeve and stopped and asked.
"The portrait sent to His Highness a few days ago, is Your Highness satisfied? The little Langjun of the Lu family was born beautiful and beautiful, and the little Langjun of the Yun family was born as gentle as jade, with a graceful demeanor, all of them are excellent qualifications, and their temperament is also well-behaved and sensible, if they can give birth to a daughter in the future, they will definitely be the dragon and phoenix among the people......" Yan Ke persuaded bitterly, but his eyes were a little evasive.
- I just sent the acolytes in this courtyard away, how can I still recruit new people?
It's just that this strange thing is not this stubble: since I returned home, I haven't seen the shadow of Wang Fu, where did he go?
I was puzzled, and I couldn't help asking, "When this king first returned to the palace, he should have gone to the king's house...... Aunt Ke, but what happened? ”
"Your Highness, don't think about that bastard who doesn't keep his husband's ways!" Yan Ke flicked his sleeves, and after I asked him several times, he said with an ugly face, "During the time when His Royal Highness was away, he actually had a head and end with others, and he really didn't deserve to sit in this backyard master!" If it weren't for his reputation as the emperor's son, he would have been beaten out of the palace a long time ago. ”
"What?" I looked at Yan Ke in disbelief, unable to digest the information I had received - according to what she meant, did she mean that Fu Ruozhen was carrying me behind my back and had an affair?
…… Well, it won't.
"Aunt Ke said so, but is there evidence?" Although I don't want to believe that the quiet and sensible man would do such a thing, I also know that Yan Ke is not the kind of person who is suspicious and spills dirty water, she is so indignant, so there must be another mystery in this "derailment".
Although he was not caught red-handed, the guards did find that there was an outsider in the king's house, and the thief also had some skills, and actually taught him to escape; And Wang Fu's sideburns are messy and embarrassed, but he refuses to reveal the identity and traces of the other party - the guards see this in their eyes and can't fake it. She frowned and said displeased.
Nor does that prove that he is...... Don't keep your husband's way? "At most, it was an attempted derailment...... After all, there's no evidence, isn't it?
Although I still wanted to excuse him, seeing that Yan Ke's face was not good, I didn't say more, but I refused the two servants she wanted to force on me, and went back to Tianji Pavilion to freshen up.
After taking a hot bath and eating food, I realized the seriousness of the matter—no matter how cold I was to Wang Fu before, he did his duty and was not allowed to come without my summons, but he would definitely send an attendant to greet him, but when I was ready to go to bed with supper, there was still no movement from him, which shows that Yan Ke is not exaggerating: Wang Fu's heart is no longer with me.
Although he already has a crush, and he doesn't have such a strong anger of being betrayed, he still cares a little about it, and he feels relieved that he doesn't have to bear his infatuation, and he is ashamed of being so selfish, but in the end it all turned into worry - he has a heart, and I won't force him.
Even if he has the intention to fulfill him, but after all, he is my husband who has been on the jade, whether it is to abandon or leave, it is not an easy task, and it is necessary to consider his reputation and where he will go in the future.
As for my own reputation, I don't have to worry about it - Kwong Xihan's reputation is so bad, I don't care about such a big deal.
For now, it is better to discuss with him so that we can know his true thoughts, so that we can continue to plan the next step.
After all, I failed him first, and it is always good to be able to do something to compensate him.
Thinking of this, I ordered the guards not to follow, I only took a little servant who led the way, and went to the courtyard of the prince in the dark-even the little spoon that had been serving me for three years was ordered by me to stay in the Tianji Pavilion and not to follow--this kid was too loud, and if he alarmed others, it would be troublesome.
"Your Highness? You, why are you here......" The look on his hesitant face when he saw me confirmed my suspicions even more.
I sighed in my heart and smiled at him: "Why, don't you invite this king in?" ”
"Your Highness, please." He hesitated for a moment, but still took a half step back and made way.
I sent the little servant to stand guard outside the door, walked in with my hands in my hand, and swept it at will, but I saw that there was more toiletry in the corner, and the incense in the room was sweet and soft, not the gentleness that the prince was used to, which made me a little more affirmed, but silently drank the tea cup he handed over, thinking about how to speak.
Unexpectedly, I was thinking, but he took the initiative to kneel on the ground, made a big bow to me, and slammed his forehead on the floor to make a dull sound, and my heart jumped with the "bang".
"What are you doing here? Arise and speak, my king...... Not unreasonable. "I wanted to forgive him directly, but on second thought, I might as well listen to what he had to say, lest I overfill him and leave some leeway.
"The slave knows that he has a negative Highness, and he must not apologize for his sins when he dies, so he only asks His Highness to look at the slave's previous duty and give the slave a decent way to die, so as not to let the slave ruin the reputation of the Fu family and the Ling Wangfu." He bowed his head respectfully three times and said unhurriedly.
The eyes are calm, but there is a will to die.
"Don't worry, this king won't want your life, and he doesn't want to ruin the reputation of your Fu family." I laughed at how he could have such a thought, but I vaguely felt the heaviness of the pleading - does this mean that the identity of the person he likes is very sensitive, and if it is exposed, it will definitely set off a huge wave, so he has already prepared for the worst?
How much is he like to be so helpless and desperate...... I was back then.
"Can you tell the king who that person is?" I asked with the idea of giving it a try, and sure enough, he silently refused.
"This king doesn't force you, as long as you don't regret it," my relationship with him can barely be regarded as a friend, standing in the position of a friend, I don't want to watch him obsessed and send him to death, "What are your plans in the future?" If he can help, this king will not refuse. ”
He was silent for a moment, then bowed his head respectfully to me, and then bowed on the ground for a long time before raising his head, and said in a dumb voice: "The slave will invite itself to practice in the nunnery and pray for the blessings of His Highness and the clan...... The slave has never begged anyone in his life, but this time he asked His Royal Highness to take the slave to the palace for a banquet tomorrow, but he taught the slave a matter of heart. ”
According to the laws of Dawu, men are born with a humble position and are not allowed to sit at the same table with women, and they will not bring men to banquets on formal occasions.
Tomorrow is the wedding banquet for Kuang Xihui to marry the third prince as your nobleman, and it is also the state banquet for Dawu and Lintoe to make peace. Now that the matter has come to this, are you still trying to change anything?
But if you give up like this, there is another unwillingness to be entrenched in the bottom of your heart, and it is difficult to heal for a long time.
Fu Ruozhen's request was like a kick in the door, but it taught me to make up my mind: "...... This king promises you. ”
"Your Highness's great grace, the slave has nothing to repay, only to ask for the next life to tie the grass ring, serve by the side, and wait for His Highness to send." He said happily.
In the face of his joy, I could only smile bitterly: "Where is this king trying to repay you?" Helping you is also helping myself. ”
Fu Ruozhen refused to say, and I can't speculate, but he begged me so earnestly to take him to the banquet, so his sweetheart should also appear at the banquet, right?
He can be so desperate in order to see the other party for the last time, and he knows that this situation is intolerable and fruitless...... And what is the difference between me and him?
Probably just because: what imprisons him is the pressure of the outside world, and what I can't get over is the hurdle in my own heart.
The emperor's pomp and circumstance to marry your monarch is naturally not small, and the object of marrying is the representative of the Linzhi country, which is of great significance.
Dressed in the auspicious clothes of the prince's grade, he walked to the main hall of the palace banquet with a blank face under the guidance of the palace attendants, and the prince followed me step by step, but no one stopped him because of me.
I deliberately chose to enter the palace at the beginning of the halfway time, at this time, except for the guards guarding the door, no one else will enter the table, and there is no need to worry about teaching people to recognize it, so the two of us swaggered into the inner hall.
He saluted me and departed, not knowing who he was going to, and not paying much of a bet, except promising to take him back to his house after the feast—and in the meantime he was left to his own business.
After he left, I stayed where I was, hesitating, and it happened that a young attendant passed not far away, and I hurriedly stopped him and asked in a deep voice, "How is the palace banquet?" ”
"The slave only knows that His Majesty is not strong enough to drink, and he has already returned to the Chaolu Hall to rest." He may not know me, but when he saw the grade of my clothing, he was startled, and replied respectfully.
"Your Majesty...... In the morning dew hall? I licked my lips and felt a hint of emotion—do you want to go to her?
"Yes, only His Majesty is there. The noble monarch was arranged to wait in the Xifeng Palace. "In other words, if you want to go later, you won't see her again?
- Let's take a look. Just at a glance.
Knowing that she was doing well, I was able to really let go and be truly relieved.
Don't waver, don't be soft-hearted, just look at it from afar.
I warned myself, but I couldn't convince myself...... The mark engraved in the heart, which can be erased at a glance? 166 Reading Network
