Chapter 52: Niangniang's accusation: You provoked it first
52
Cun's words made Xue Yinong's feelings fluctuate for a long time, but she didn't immediately stand up and go to Xu Shutong, she then lowered her head to read the folds, so that Cunxi couldn't figure it out for a while, what the emperor was thinking, understood, or not. She didn't dare to make a sound to disturb, she stood quietly beside Xue Yinong, and swept her with her residual light.
Xue Yinong's face is soft, and he uses a red pen to review from time to time, and there are as many folds on the table as there are small hills, and I heard that there are ministers in the court who like to save a few books a day.
Cun Xi stared at Xue Yinong for a long time, and then shook her head regretfully, she couldn't make up her mind after all, the person she wanted to come to Niangniang's eye was not allowed to be touched by others, but did the emperor understand? Of course, others won't let the mother get her wish, and this hasn't started yet!
After thinking about it, Cun Xi frowned.
Just heard Xue Yinong's voice sound, "It's a pity, it's boring." ”
Cun Xi replied, "It's not boring." ”
"If you're okay, just sit next to you and get some rest. I don't need to be accompanied, and if I want to drink tea, I'll call you. ”
"Your Majesty." The emperor's thoughtfulness, she felt it. Immediately jumped to the side to rest, and fiddled with rice chess when she had nothing to do, there was no one to play here, so she played with herself alone. It's just that in the afternoon, the weather suddenly got cold, I rubbed my hands, it seemed that I couldn't warm up, Qianyuan Palace was still a little too big, if the emperor didn't have an awkward relationship with Niangniang, I was afraid that at this time in the Jinxiu Palace the stove was baking, with snacks at hand, the whole room was warm, everyone talked and laughed.
Cun Xi walked to the door with a light step, the slightest cold wind, through the crack in the door, she looked at the small gap, looking out. Outside the door, the snow was falling, almost the sky and the earth were surrounded by white, and it was only a few hours after lunch, and the snow had fallen from a thin point to a foot deep.
Xue Yinong seemed to be frozen, and the dansha in her hand seemed to be dizzy, her fingers were stiff, she raised her head, looked forward, and saw Cun Xi standing at the door, "Cun Xi." ”
Listening to the emperor's shouting, he turned around and responded: "Yes!" What is the emperor going to do? As he spoke, he had already walked over, waiting for Xue Yinong's orders.
"How's the weather going outside?"
"It's snowing again, and it's still raining heavily. Is the emperor cold, ask the slave to bring you a fox fur and wrap it, or burn a few more pots of charcoal. ”
"No need." She had stopped writing and called for her father-in-law to come in, and her father-in-law was hunched over and listened to the instructions. "Move the excerpt to the Splendid Palace."
"Yes." Father-in-law Ren went out and called a few young little eunuchs to come and clean up, separating the approved ones from those that have not been approved.
When the door opened, the cold air from outside rushed inside. Xue Yinong saw the thick snow, pursed his lips and said nothing, it seems that this year's disaster seems to be very strict.
She took the fox fur handed over by Cun Xi and wrapped herself tightly. Cun Xi asked her, "Is the emperor going to the Splendid Palace right away?" ”
"Yes."
There is a smile on the side of his mouth, it seems that the emperor has the intention of taking the initiative to make peace, whether he responds to the mother's feelings or not, this is a good step. She hurriedly went out first, took an umbrella over, and waited for Xue Yinong to come out by the door, the snow outside was too thick, and the sedan chair was not suitable, and the palace people were already busy clearing the snow, but the snow was falling too quickly, sweeping a layer, and covering another layer.
Xue Yinong went out of the door, regretting that he had put the umbrella above her head. Snowflakes fall on the surface of the umbrella, making a rustling sound, very urgent. She walked on the thick snow, stepping on deep and shallow marks, although the palace people followed, but all of them were not in a very good state, staggering, not interesting.
Xue Yinong couldn't bear it, and said, "Okay, don't follow you, just accompany me with pity." "Everyone thanked for the grace as if they had been amnesty, and they all went to the house to make a fire. Xue Yinong accompanied him with regret and went to the Splendid Palace.
In addition to the guards outside the palace, the palace people ran to escape the cold early. Seeing the crescent-white fox fur with a golden coiling dragon embroidered on it, he didn't dare to be careless, and came out to greet him.
"Excuse me, you all go about your own business, don't freeze."
"Thank you for your grace."
Xue Yinong entered the house, stomped on the blanket at the door, shook off the snowflakes on his leather boots, and looked around the door, but there was no one in the house. She looked at the pity, "What about Shutong?" ”
Cun Xi had given Xu Shutong the news at lunch, and she really didn't know what Xu Shutong was going to do. "Maybe somewhere, the slave and maid will look for it."
"No, I'll go by myself." immediately called the palace maid to come over and ask, saying that she saw Xu Shutong carrying a wooden basin to wash clothes. Xu Shutong is among the guests, of course, she refuses to be a prestige, and she also wants to leave a good impression on Xue Yinong and instruct others to do things, she doesn't dare, in addition to washing her clothes, she is sorry to help wash them.
Today, I regret that I have become a hero, and of course she washed this clothes. Despite the fact that it was snowing outside and it was cold, the water in the well warmed up the further it went.
After Xue Yinong heard this, he frowned decisively.
"What kind of clothes are you washing this day, she really thinks of herself as a female King Kong."
It's a pity that I can't understand the word 'female King Kong' for a while, and I'm confused. But the meaning of the words is clear, the emperor is dissatisfied with the matter of washing clothes.
Xue Yinong said: "I went to find her, I pity you for guarding the house, and when she comes back, I will sue her." ”
Cun Xi said respectfully: "Yes." ”
Xue Yinong stepped out of the snow, her leather boots stepped on the snow, making a rustling sound, she had an umbrella by herself, and soon disappeared into the snow.
I looked at it from afar, and I was fascinated for a while, the picture was so beautiful that even she was immersed in it. I just hope that the emperor can make it clear to his mother, and from now on he will love the concubine, isn't it good? She closed the door and turned to sit in front of the charcoal basin to roast the fire, waiting for the good news.
After Xue Yinong went out, he asked several people to know where Xu Shutong was washing things by the well, the palace was too big, the weather was too cold, and almost no one walked around outside. There was a faint anger and deep pity in her heart, she didn't see it for a while, Xu Shutong turned into this, did she have to torture herself with this kind of behavior?
Xue Yinong found that he was not so calm. Encountering Xu Shutong's incident will make her heart soften, and it is not something that only happens today. She ignored the wind and snow, quickly looked for it, but met Xu Shutong halfway through, Xu Shutong was wearing a cotton jacket, cotton skirt, holding a wooden basin in his hand, a pile of clothes, thinking that it had been washed, the two hands holding the wooden basin, a red color, and the face was also, seeing her, a ball of white gas came out of his mouth, but the person stood there and did not move.
Xue Yinong walked up to her quickly, looked at her, and didn't say a word. I wanted to be angry, but when I said it, I was a soft mess, "Are you cold?" Why don't you wash it in the house, wash it with hot water, what if you catch a cold and feel unwell? She was gentle even with her reproaches, thinking of Xu Shutong's kindness to herself, she couldn't be ruthless anymore. This person is held in the palm of his hand by thousands of others, but he is so humble to himself. It's just that I like someone. Xue Yinong is not worth it for her.
"I've seen the emperor." Xu Shutong's tone was very detached, thinking that she would not meet or speak for the rest of her life, so she stopped laughing. Xue Yinong was suddenly very lost, her heart was empty, she didn't want to be treated well, and she was pushed away again.
"I ...... I've been thinking about it lately...... Your business, feel like you're not doing anything wrong. I have no ambiguity, I just don't know how to get along with you so that I don't hurt you. ”
Xu Shutong said coldly: "Then I want to thank the emperor, you are doing this, it is simply poking people with a knife, count me as climbing, I understand now, some things may not be helped, but it also depends on the object, thank you emperor, no need to say it again, I understand everything, okay, I still have something, so I won't tell the emperor." She actually passed by Xue Yinong's side and threw Xue Yinong in the snow.
Xue Yinong was left alone in 'me, me, me', very discouraged and depressed.
Illustrate? Regret? She Xu Shutong doesn't want these things, it's not rare. The self-confidence and pride that had been slightly lost also returned, Xu Shutong held the wooden basin and walked slowly, the snow was very thick, and it was a little difficult to walk. And she has another meaning, it depends on whether someone understands it or not?
Xue Yinong stood in the snow and was stunned for a while, thinking that he didn't expect Xu Shutong to treat himself like this. Then he came to his senses and chased after him with an umbrella, "Shutong, you wait." She was really angry this time, she dared to talk to her like this, this woman's courage became fatter and fatter.
The action of chasing people is very chic, but the chase is too fast, and I don't look at the road under my feet, and I still slip.
The umbrella in Xue Yinong's hand flew out, and the whole person fell forward heavily, her fingers hooked the corner of Xu Shutong's skirt, and she fell, and her hand was still pulling. The two of them threw themselves on the snow one after the other, whether it was an umbrella or a wooden basin, they all fell to the ground, and their washed clothes were buttoned in the snow.
Xue Yinong's fall was not painful, there was a thick snow pad, but her whole face was buried in the snow, it was very ugly, as soon as she raised her head, she glanced around, and found that no one was relieved. Looking further ahead, hehe, there is also a person lying in front of him.
Xu Shutong was hit by the sparks. He turned his head resentfully and looked at Xue Yinong with a face full of snowflakes. found that Xue Yi was stupid and stupid with snowflakes, and she was still very angry just now, but when she laughed, her crisp and interesting smile seemed to open a warm path in the cold.
Xue Yinong had already gotten up and patted the snow on his body, very embarrassed, and smiling reluctantly. went up again to help Xu Shutong up and shoot the snow for her. "Shutong, are you going to ignore me in the future?" She was a little afraid, and she finally got someone to talk to, and she lost it all of a sudden, which made her at a loss.
"What does the emperor think?"
Xue Yinong lowered his head and didn't speak, like a child who had done something wrong. "You like me, I know, I can't respond to you, but can't we even be friends?" She asked cautiously.
"I like the emperor? Hehe. Xu Shutong's words brought out a sneer, "Didn't the emperor provoke me first?" I thought that the emperor liked me, so I considered it at my discretion. ”
Provoke? Like? Does she have it? Xue Yinong's eyes widened, Xu Shutong looked at her, and immediately understood, and said, "Forget it, count me as misunderstanding and being sentimental." She bent down, picked up the clothes scattered on the ground, and put them in the tub, but fortunately it was only a little snow, and there was no need to wash it again, the tub was already on her side, and she was gone.
