48. Overboard
He walked over, smiled and touched her head, and when he raised his eyes, he inadvertently glanced into the door, only to catch a glimpse of the gently swaying crimson curtains that were swirling around, and grabbed Yuanyuan's waist and picked her up: "Let's go, brother-in-law will take you to have fun." ”
Yuanyuan kicked desperately in his arms: "No, I want to play with Sister Yuluan, brother-in-law, let Sister Yuluan play with us." ”
This little thing is really tougher than Zheng Yuan, he sank his face in an instant, not angry but mighty.
Yuanyuan gradually quieted down, looked at him timidly with innocent eyes, and whispered, "Let Sister Yuluan play with us, okay?" Seeing that he raised his palm, he was so frightened that he hurriedly covered his eyes with his little hand, and his mouth was deflated, and he removed two fingers, peeked into his expression through the cracks of his fingers, and slowly freed up a small tender hand to wipe his tears, and then sobbed and said: "If you don't play, you won't play, why beat me and wait for my sister, when I come back, I want to tell my sister, say that you beat me-" After that, he rolled his eyes at him and spit out his little vermilion tongue.
Where would he really beat her, but just intimidated and intimidated her as a child, looking at her eccentric appearance, I couldn't help but think of all kinds of things when Zheng Yuan was a child, when she forced Zheng Yuan to read and write, Zheng Yuan was sometimes playful and unwilling, so she liked to roll her eyes and spit out a little tongue; While he was lying on the stone table to sleep, he secretly took a pen and dipped it in ink to draw a king on his face, and when he opened his eyes, she covered her mouth and kept giggling, and he deliberately pretended not to know to make her more proud.
Only she didn't know, he didn't know when he drew Wang Ba. Because of his death, he has not slept a single sleep for more than ten years, even if he is in a dream, there is always half of his consciousness struggling on the edge of wakefulness, and there is still a little bit of alertness. When he returned to the bedroom at night, he smiled at Wang Ba in the bronze mirror alone
While thinking about the past, he hugged Zheng Yuan and walked forward, during which Zheng Yuan said a few words to him, but he didn't hear it. Zheng Yuan punched him in the face angrily, and only then did he come back to his senses in pain and look at her, and threatened: "Wow, you little thing, you are not small, brother-in-law dares to fight?" ”
Zheng Yuan retorted: "Who made my brother-in-law not listen to me." ”
"What do you want to say?"
Zheng Yuan looked back in that direction, and couldn't see Yuluan's room anymore, with a faint Xiaochunshan on her wrinkled watery apricot eyes: "Brother-in-law, don't you really want to see what Sister Yuluan looks like?" She said: "Sister Yuluan was born like my sister, her eyes are exactly the same, but she can't speak. ”
A thought flashed through his mind, and he threw her to the ground, shouting, "Why didn't you say it earlier? ”
She crunched her mouth and burst into tears.
"Don't cry—"
stopped her tears with a sound, Yuanyuan trembled, and the tears were caught in her eyes and didn't dare to flow down.
"Wait here, don't run around." After saying that, he strode back, walking like flying, and the green plums hanging from the branches slapped his face
"Lord Right Prime Minister, where are you going?" Cui Yin suddenly came from under the green plum and stopped in front, "Your lord knows that the right minister has come to see the little lady of the Zheng family, and specially asked the slave to come and invite the right minister to come and talk to her, Xiangye rest assured, Yuanyuan has just been carried back by the next person." ”
"Let your lord wait, the current appearance is not available now!" He tried to bypass her.
But she was stopped by Cui Yin, who smiled: "What if it's about Yuluan." ”
He settled his steps, turned his head to her face, and Cui Yin said, "Your lord specially instructed that before seeing her, let the slave maid take Xiangye to meet Yuluan." Cui Yin stepped out of the way and reached forward: "Please-"
He glanced at Cuiyin, strode to the door of the jade luan, paused, and broke in.
Cui Yin stood by the door with her arms crossed, with a deep smile: "Xiangye, don't be too anxious, don't frighten Yuluan." ”
He almost tore off a heavy curtain that was fluttering in front of him, and approached the jade luan's bed step by step.
The silk tent swayed with the breeze that swayed in, embroidered with peony brocades, two copper cranes carved incense burners hung on the small silver hook outside the tent, and the crane's mouth curled out two milky white smoke, mixed with a strong fragrance, which was about to cover up the floating dark fragrance in the tent and the woman's body odor, what was the smell of Zheng Yuan's body, he knew best, the brocade embroidered with mandarin ducks in the tent was pulled over the top of the head of the lying woman.
A heart thumped and pounded, he saw a strand of black hair outside the jade pillow, slowly opened the gauze tent, and reached out to lift the quilt, but the quilt itself shook violently. The woman was shaking nervously.
"Grandma" shouted excitedly, he quickly held her down to prevent her from moving, grabbed the brocade quilt with one hand, the strength was so great, pulled out the folds of the quilt, and couldn't wait to see the people inside, so he threw it casually, and overturned the brocade quilt that was covered on it to the ground.
The woman in the quilt was jade-faced, wearing a very thin and transparent gauze dress, her body loomed, she screamed, and sat up with her arms folded subconsciously, her chin shrunk, her face red, and she raised her eyes from time to time to look at him cautiously.
"I'm sorry," he quickly turned around and exited the tent, looking suspiciously at Cui Yin who was walking towards him.
Cui Yin smiled: "She is Yuluan, your lord knows that Xiangye can't forget Zheng Yuan, so he deliberately found a woman similar to Zheng Yuan, you see that this Yuluan's eyes are very similar to Zheng Yuan, aren't they?" ”
The eyes are indeed somewhat similar, but they can only be said to be somewhat similar, not exactly the same as Yuanyuan said.
Cui Yin said again: "Your lord intends to dedicate the jade luan to Xiangye, but I don't know if it is in line with Xiangye's mind." ”
His face was as cold as nine-foot-deep ice, and only his muscles twitched: "Lead the way, I want to see the eldest princess." ”
"Okay." Cui Yin bowed, bowed her head and asked him to go out, and when he passed her, she raised her eyes and glanced at the brocade screen in the heavy curtains, and exited the closed door, inviting him to see the eldest princess.
The eldest princess sat in the peony garden again and tasted the "Wuyi Narcissus" with a graceful expression, seeing him coming, the joy on her face was like the tea leaves in the cup, and the eldest princess retreated left and right, and beckoned to him slowly: "See Yuluan?" How is it? Like Zheng Yuan? If you like it, this palace will give you the jade luan. ”
He still had a gloomy face towards the eldest princess as before, but the eldest princess always smiled quietly, which made him look at it, and the anger that came out of nowhere ignited: "Auntie, where did you hide Zheng Yuan?" What do you want to do with her? ”
"The good nephew of this palace came to question this palace again, and he is still thinking about women, what can he become?" The eldest princess smiled, lowered her head and lifted the silk silk cut into Shu brocade to the back of her wrist, fiddled with the exquisite jade bracelet on her wrist twice, straightened Zhai Yi twice, and then raised her eyes when her whole face changed abruptly, suddenly waved off the porcelain on the stone table, and said sharply at him: "The old fox Gu Changyuan pushed the people of the household with all his might, did you assassinate them?" Was the Ruan family girl who lost power in the harem helped up? How much military power did you receive? If you don't take precautions for so many important things that cannot be delayed, you will know that you have been running to the palace for a Zheng Yuan for three days and two times, and the palace not only hid your Zheng Yuan, but also worked hard to find a stand-in Yuluan for you, you don't want it, and you came to the palace Xingshi to ask about the crime, isn't it? ”
He said calmly: "Don't worry about Aunt Lao, Hao has a plan in his heart, Gu Changyuan's newly promoted person will not survive tonight, Ruan Zhaohua should be reset soon; The consolidation of military power is not an overnight matter, and it is necessary to take a long-term view and slowly stretch out the net and put the long-term line out. Except for asking his aunt to take Zheng Yuan in, Hao has never begged his aunt for anything, even if Hao asks his aunt again, except for Zheng Yuan, Hao doesn't want anyone, I beg my aunt-"
The eldest princess interrupted him: "Who will you become in the future?" If you can't find Zheng Yuan, do you want to leave the harem empty? For the sake of a woman, Hongu is really worried that one day, if you can't have both, you will give up taking back your father's things for her. ”
"Aunt rest assured," he still stubbornly resisted her: "I want both fish and bear's paws, Zheng Yuan and the throne I will not give up, and it is bound to win"
"Oh?" The eldest princess raised her eyebrows and sighed twice.
——
"Hiss-" Zheng Yuan's forehead was dripping with cold sweat, and her hands clenched tightly and the little maid pulled her sleeves.
Cui Yin said: "Bear with it, it's just the tail of Luan." ”
The heat of the cooking oil burned on the shoulder, releasing the burning pain of the fire, the slender blood vessels broke under the flesh, and there was no bleeding, only the burning and staggered traces could be seen through the flesh, and a green luan screamed and soared out of the flesh, as if drawing out the old pain that had healed, and closed his eyes: the man pulled the bow, his eyes were detached and indifferent, his expression was resolute, and the moment he let go, the arrow was off the string
"Grandma"
Hidden behind the screen, she saw the man lift the quilt
With a muffled grunt, she fell limply on Cuiyin's shoulder, her gasps low and inaudible.
Sweat soaked Cui Yin's shoulders, Cui Yin gently stroked her back, and comforted: "Okay, okay, it's already good, Yuluan, Qingluan has been tattooed, I'll help you go to bed to rest in a while, and I have to wronged you to hide here for a while, the right phase doesn't seem to have left"
——
"Hao," the eldest princess got up, folded a peony, and said, "This palace feels that with Zheng Yuan's current qualifications, it is not enough to stand side by side with you; And Zheng Yuan doesn't seem to be of the same heart as you, and there is a gully between you that is difficult to overcome; What you need is not a woman who wants you to shelter you everywhere; According to the palace, Wei Yun is better than her, but Wei Yun's background is lower. ”
He looked at the eldest princess in front of him, the eldest princess in this world who was now closest to his blood, and suddenly smiled, and his eyebrows flew with a smile: "What is enough and not enough?" It's only a few steps away from each other, isn't it difficult? When I stand in that position and reach out to her, she just has to give me her hand, and I ask her to be with me, and she has to be with me.
