Chapter 18: Shocking Late
Huaizhu's appearance is obviously full of anger, although Mei Rui had expected her to be like this, but in reality, it is inevitable that she will be a little weak.
She stepped in again, sat down on the couch behind the door, took Huaizhu's hand, and said to her in a warm voice: "You didn't rest well last night?" ”
Huaizhu was full of anger, and he planned to dry her for a while first, so that she could know her mistake. But when he met her gentle and gentle care, he broke his work and pouted: "Do you still know that I haven't rested well?" ”
The more I thought about it, the more aggrieved I became, and when I opened my mouth again, I cried, and tears fell and hit the back of Mei Rui's hand: "I felt that something was wrong before you went out, who in front of the emperor had a good relationship with you and became like this, and he still sent medicine to others?" Before you came back, my eyelids began to beat, and my heart didn't settle...... Waiting for you with a lamp, but waiting for a message from someone else. ”
She hid her face and cried: "Said that you went out of the palace with Lu Hujun, and you won't be able to come back tonight, and asked me to rest early, don't worry...... Can I not be worried? I saw that Lu Hujun was uneasy and kind, but I didn't expect you to really kidnap him......"
Mei Rui couldn't cry or laugh, and hurriedly wiped her tears: "What are you talking about, why did you call me abducted by him?" ”
"You just don't know how worried I am about you," Huaizhu said angrily and with red eyes, "You are a good person, for no reason, why did you leave with him?" ”
This Mei Rui couldn't answer herself, so she was taken out by him so naturally, and it was strange to say, Huaizhu howled: "You were really lost by him, and you don't care about anything!" ”
"What nonsense?" Mei Rui laughed and covered her mouth, "Don't cry, I know you're worried about me, and I can't talk about yesterday's events." It was I who accidentally burned Lu Hujun's leg, and I couldn't help it, so I took the ointment to make amends for him. Originally, I was walking around in front of the palace, and I didn't look up and down with him, so how can I make a bond with him? You say yes or no. ”
"Then how did the reparation go to his house," Huaizhu caught the key, and had to ask to understand, seeing that Mei Rui couldn't answer the reason, he held his forehead and made a sad gesture, "You are obviously moving your mind, and you say that women are too embarrassed to say it, he asks you to get in the car, you get in the car, and you can't think about it, even if you say my words, you will run away from the clouds." ”
Huaizhu actually said it very reasonably, Mei Rui stroked her chest and muttered: "It's unlikely, I'm not such a forgetful person......"
"I didn't think you were such a person before," Huaizhu licked her lips and raised her sleeve to wipe the tears off her face, "But if you weren't confused by his beauty yesterday, how could you not know how to refuse?" ”
The more she thought about it, the more frightened she felt, Mei Rui simply fell down and hid in the quilt with her head covered, listening to Huaizhu babbling in her ear: "Rui Rui, you listen to me, don't look at the good-looking Lu Guard." What's the use of him being good-looking, in the end he is missing, you have to think about it for the future, don't you want children? ”
What's good about having a child, Mei Rui is very depressed, she was brought up by her aunt, and she has never seen her father before her aunt died. That year, there was an epidemic in Jiangnan, and A-Niang died of illness in that scene, she was also sick at the time, but she went to the ghost door and walked back, and the doctors who treated her said that she was blessed and had a great life.
Not long after Auntie went, Daddy came back, but in her memory, her Daddy only drank and looked down, but fortunately, her Daddy fell asleep after drinking and didn't beat her.
Later, her father also passed away, she lived in her aunt's house for three years, and only after keeping filial piety for her father did she take her father's letter to Chang'an.
If she can't give her a happy day, then she would rather not have a life at all, Mei Rui muttered this sentence in the quilt, was listened to by Huaizhu, and hit her arms, she lifted the quilt, leaned down and bit Mei Rui's ear: "Look, you still want children, I also know you, Lu Hujun is good-looking, powerful, and you are not the only one in the palace who is fascinated by him." But think about it, people like him, there are not no dynasties and dynasties, most of them have an unclear relationship with those ladies in the harem, but he is a straight man in the army, and he doesn't even have any rumors about these things, do you know why? ”
Mei Rui thought for a while and wondered: "Isn't it good that the protector is innocent?" ”
"What a thing!" Huaizhu hated that iron could not be made of steel, and he pestled her head with his fingers, "How can there be such a clean and self-righteous person, and he has nothing to do with the girls, which means that he is involved with the others." ”
"Side?"
She still didn't quite understand, Huaizhu was also a woman after all, and she was very ashamed of these words on the bright side, but there were only two people here, she and Mei Rui, she still blushed and whispered: "You read more books than me, Long Yangzhi is good, and you have a habit of breaking sleeves...... You've heard of it, right? ”
There was a bang in her head, and Mei Rui looked at Huaizhu in shock: "What did you say?" Huaizhu glanced at her, "I mean, Lu Hujun ...... him"
Before the words were spoken, Huaizhu was covered by Mei Rui, Mei Rui's back was sweaty, and she whispered, "Do you know what you're talking about?" If you are heard, you will be beheaded! ”
Huaizhu pulled out of her hand and pursed her lips: "That's what you said to me when you came back, but I just told you, who will listen?" Shall I not even speak to you in private? ”
She was very aggrieved, Mei Rui wiped the sweat on her forehead in shock, and then took two steps on her knees on the couch and grabbed her hand: "I'm worried about you, do you know?" None of these things can be said for sure, and if the wall has ears, and your words are heard, and reach the ears of the guards, neither of us will want to think about it. ”
Speaking of this, Mei Rui remembered what Fu San'er told her last night, as if she was on the scene, but the wooden box was not filled with a severed hand, but her tongue with Huaizhu, she shivered and held Huaizhu's hand tighter: "I don't want you to have an accident." ”
"Rui Rui," Huai Zhu was moved to tears, hugged Mei Rui in his arms, and sobbed, "I know you care about me, in your heart, Lu Hujun can't compare to me, right?" ”
Where is this, Mei Rui was amused by her: "I don't have anything to do with the Lu Guardian, your words are inappropriate." ”
Everyone was happy, Huaizhu was not like Mei Rui who had a vacation today, and rushed to Concubine Rong, and hurriedly went out, Mei Rui was so troubled by her that she forgot about her fatigue, she left, the room was quiet, and the sleepiness gradually spread, and the eyelids were closed, and she fell asleep.
After that, it was okay to meet Lu Zhi, but when walking between the palace roads, I felt that someone was pointing behind me, and when I turned my head to look, those people scattered in a hurry.
On the day of the funeral, Mei Rui served the little emperor and dressed, and listened to him yawn and said, "Rui Rui, I am very sleepy. ”
"The slave knows that you are sleepy, but this is the rule left by the ancestors." She brought a mourning crown for the little emperor, the emperor's filial piety clothes also have twelve chapter patterns, the emperor is still young, wearing filial piety clothes looks particularly distressing, he looked in the mirror, a little melancholy: "Today is the time to set the funeral period of my father?" ”
"Yes."
The little emperor walked out with his hands behind his back, the palace attendants outside were lined up on both sides, and there was a person standing at the main entrance, also dressed in heavy filial piety, wearing a crown and plain clothes, with a particularly indifferent expression, the little emperor took a few steps forward and stopped in front of him, and raised his head slightly: "Lu Zhen." ”
Lu Zhi lowered his eyes and asked softly, "Your Majesty has cleaned up?" ”
He nodded, and saw that Lu Zhi seemed to have eaten a reassuring pill, and only a little panic dissipated without a trace, and his young face finally showed a look similar to perseverance. Lu Zhi's smile was a little relieved, and he bowed to him: "Your Majesty moves-"
Singing one after another, up and down, Mei Rui followed the little emperor's chariot, watching the white flags in the sky blown by the wind, and her heart was also a little sad, once upon a time, she wore such a filial piety dress for five years.
Dajin attaches great importance to feng shui, and there is also a saying that "the soul returns to heaven and descends to the earth," and the funeral day is the burial period set by Bu Yibu at the beginning, so as to teach all the gods and ghosts to recognize, so as not to blame it at that time and ruin the fortune of the country.
On the altar, a group of priests wearing cloth hats, wearing dark collared clothes and mourning shoes, saw that the holy car was coming, and they were busy kneeling down to say goodbye. The little emperor had a straight face, completely losing his usual liveliness and joy in front of Mei Rui, and he didn't bother to raise his hand to them, so he only said, "Flat." ”
Empress Dowager Zhao asked the younger emperor to come earlier, and there was King Xiang standing beside her, and the little emperor bowed to the Empress Dowager Zhao, and called to King Xiang: "Uncle Huang." ”
Even if the heavenly family hates each other, they still have to pretend to be a ball of harmony on the surface, and the Empress Dowager Zhao stood there with a straight figure and bowed to the little emperor, and King Xiang gave the little emperor a kind smile, but this smile dissipated until he saw Lu Zhen.
The divination mat was spread out on the spot, and the master and the others stood in place, Mei Rui was the most uninterested in this kind of strange things, and her eyes fell on Lu Zhen, and he also lowered his eyes, and the line on the back of his neck was particularly beautiful.
When she woke up again, the people on the altar had already changed their expressions of astonishment.
Empress Dowager Zhao asked with cold eyebrows: "The mourning family asked you, what's going on?" ”
The leader of the master lay deep on the ground and said in a panic: "The villain doesn't know...... I don't know why the days chosen by Qin Tianjian are not serious...... This...... How is this a good ......?"
The Queen Mother frowned: "All? Hearing this, she shouted: "Bold, that means that my dignified emperor can't find the day of the funeral?" ”
"The villain didn't dare to ...... The villain didn't dare to ......"
The Queen Mother was angry, causing the people around her to kneel down in an instant, and for a while, only the Queen Mother, King Xiang, and the little emperor on the altar, and Lu Zhi were still standing upright. The little emperor pursed his lips and didn't speak, but Lu Zhen, who had been hanging his eyebrows, suddenly said: "Niangniang is angry, it is impossible to say that there is no funeral, and I regret it in vain." ”
He turned to Qin Tianjian again, "Dare to ask your lordship, the days ahead are gone, so what about the future?" ”
