7. Blow all the red
This is the only time she has confronted Jingqi Mama, Li Ma'er stared dryly, and there was nothing she could do. After all, she is the master, the eldest princess, and the emperor are both equals, even if you ask for family law, you have to have the courage to do this.
People have big hearts, and they don't obey the rules, and it will happen sooner or later. As for Mama Jingqi, holding chicken feathers as an arrow is only when these masters don't know anything, and when they become adults and have their own opinions, they can still develop them if they are not used to them, and the master is the master after all. I just never thought that Di Ji had such a temperament, and she couldn't hold it back when she was only thirteen or fourteen years old, and she wanted to follow her to be a companion in the future, but I was afraid that it would be difficult.
Mama Li's basin of water was poured into the sand, leaving no traces. As soon as she left, Xiao You came back to life again, and smiled happily: "It's still the master, instead of fighting against her, it's better to let her have nowhere to go." She was rubbing the fire there, and the master was hungry and tired, and ignoring her was worse than slapping her mouth. ”
Wanwan took off her hat and still was on the desk, "I often say, big things are small, small things are small, how good." The Queen Mother is feasting the ministers in the Imperial Palace at this time, where do you know what we are doing here. If she doesn't make a fuss, she is both the Cining Palace and the celebrant of the ceremonial eunuch, what good is it to preach it! These grandmothers, who are usually grandmothers, are used to being powerful and blessed in the palace, and they are more and more face-saving when they respect them. Yang Yang said very happily, turned his head and thought of tomorrow, and made a mistake for a while, "The factory minister just said, Ming'er will come to me again to settle accounts, we can avoid Mama Li's catastrophe, but we can't escape the factory minister." ”
Xiao You also lost his soul, "Ming'er is the death period of the slave and Wuqi, master, will you watch us die?" ”
This incident is indeed her beginning, Xiaoyou and Wuqi can only be regarded as accomplices. Although the master's fault is very likely to be counted on the heads of the people below, it is too out of line, and I am afraid that the sum of their two small lives is not enough to offset it. If she shrank her head, she would have to watch them die.
She patted Xiao You on the shoulder, "Don't worry, I'll think of something good for you tomorrow." ”
Her cowardice knows that even if she is guaranteed, she can't really believe her, "When the time comes, you can't pretend to be deaf and dumb, the lives of the slaves and maids are all in your hands." ”
Wanwan reassured her that although she was no less afraid of Young Eunuch Xiao than she was of Mama Li, it was a matter of human life, even if she was stubborn, she would have to speak out.
It had been raining and it was hard to have a hard time outside, but now I came back, changed into clean clothes, and sat in a warm bedding, with a loose body up and down. She held a cup of milk/tea, took small sips, remembered the king of Nanyuan, and asked Xiao You in a low voice: "Have you seen that Yuwenliangshi?" ”
Xiao You was cutting the lantern flowers, and said in a muttered voice: "King Nanyuan?" The slave and maid did not see it. "Put down the scissors and come to inquire," what does he look like, tell me quickly, does his eyes look like brass bells, and his ears look like plantains? ”
Wanwan suddenly found that there were many versions of the appearance of this Nanyuan King in Yude Palace, some of which were made up by her, and some were completely made up by the people below. Now that I think about it, I am very sorry for the prince, she pressed her hand on the quilt in embarrassment, her fingers flicked twice, and said vaguely: "Actually...... His appearance is not so scary, it was all our guesswork before. When I saw him, I always felt that he was a bit similar to Young Eunuch Xiao, not his face, but his body shape and bearing. ”
Xiao You is more concerned about his face, "The slave maid wants to know if the nose and eyes are where they should be." ”
"That's natural, he's good-looking, and he has clear eyebrows." Wan Wan said as she drew a circle with her hand, "There is a golden ring in his eye, like a halo on the edge of the sun before a strong wind. You know that kind of thing? Like a rainbow, but it's round, and it's tougher than a rainbow. ”
Xiao You was confused, "There's a ring in your eye?" Isn't this a double pupil! There are two eyeballs in a frame, one on the left and one on the right. ”
Wanwan has long known that she will never be able to go with her, and she usually doesn't like to argue with her, but this time she has to explain. She straightened up and looked at her very sincerely, "Xiao You, it's a hollow ring, just in the black eyes, not outside, not left and right." You look good, your eyes glow, and when you look at you, you can make your eyes shake. ”
Xiao You's barren head couldn't outline that kind of magical scene, and she felt that her eyes could shine, probably like a leopard raised in a house, strange and scary. But the eldest princess was in high spirits, and she could only echo with haha: "That's really rare...... The Han and Xianbei people are not like this, they look chic. ”
Wanwan lifted her cheeks, leaned on the hidden sac and muttered: "He is still complaining, saying that the world misunderstands the Qi people and treats them as monsters." Thinking about it like this, they are also pitiful, how did they get such a bad reputation when they are obviously human. ”
Xiao You feels that it is not the time to worry about others at the moment, and it is only serious to take care of yourself first. She couldn't sleep peacefully all night, and when she got up the next day to see Wuqi, the two of them were trembling, just waiting for Young Eunuch Xiao to come and fall. Generally, the celebrant is busy in the morning, and he has to be free in the second half of the morning, but today is different, before the beginning of the young eunuch Xiao came, at that time the eldest princess was preparing for lunch, the eunuch holding a small umbrella plate rushed in, the eight golden bells on the umbrella bone rattled, and the young eunuch Xiao entered the front hall in a noisy manner.
Wanwan wrapped her neck, and the cups, dishes, and dishes in front of her were all arranged, and when she saw him come in, she suddenly lost her appetite. Xiao You and Wuqi were scared like rabbits, and went to her side, and before she could speak, he raised his hand and sent out all the people who served the meal, leaving only the four of them in the hall, and they had the posture of settling accounts.
"Up...... It was my idea to go to Xihuamen to join in the fun. She said a little stumbling, but she bravely blocked her head and pointed at Xiaoyou and Wuqi, "Don't punish them, punish me." ”
Young Eunuch Xiao frowned, "Just because they let the master bear the blame, it's enough to pick up their two layers of skin." ”
Xiao You and Wuqi knelt down and kowtowed: "It's the slaves' fault, please forgive the slaves and maids, please forgive the slaves and maids this time!" ”
It's a pity that Wanwan's theory of being silent and okay won't work at all when it comes to the celebrant supervisor. Young Eunuch Xiao looked at them coldly, and said in a cold voice: "There are so many pairs of eyes in front of you, I can't hold them down just by pressing them here." Maybe the news has already spread to Cining Palace, and the Queen Mother is not unaware of her immobility, but to see how I send it. Your Highness takes care of you, and when you turn around, the Queen Mother personally condemns you, not only will you not be able to escape, but you will also have to implicate Your Highness. After saying that, he waved his hand to Wanwan, "Give the person to the minister, His Royal Highness will send another stable old man to serve him, and the minister can rest assured." ”
I expected that she was not a good match, but Xiao Duo was so unsympathetic, which really made her feel chilled. She was angry: "I have two trustworthy people, and the factory minister wants to arrest them too?" ”
He made it even deeper: "His Royal Highness didn't listen to the emperor's advice, and even the ministers couldn't do anything. ”
Wanwan choked, "The emperor just told me not to pick the king of Nanyuan, why didn't I listen to him?" ”
But she doesn't understand, sometimes she falls into the eyes of others, you don't care about others, others think about you, who makes her the only princess in Daye.
Young Eunuch Xiao's expression was a little troubled, "If Your Highness can trust the ministers, the ministers will guarantee that they are safe." But if someone else disposes of it, whether they can save their lives at that time, the minister will not dare to guarantee it. ”
This is the eldest princess, many times she can't help herself, no matter how respectful her status is, the palace rules are strict, and the concubines have to abide by them, and she is the same. She had to think carefully about his words, and weigh what she could do to keep them. I'm afraid I can't stay if I want to stay, maybe Xiao Duo came with the will of the Queen Mother, she did something wrong, and she must pay such a price, so as to warn her not to make the same mistake again. She couldn't do anything anymore, and asked dejectedly: "If you don't let them suffer, can the factory minister promise me?" ”
Young Eunuch Xiao said yes, "Please rest assured, Your Highness." ”
When Xiaoyou and Wuqi were taken away, she didn't even have the courage to look at them again, and they didn't have a master like her.
The little agility that was left was snuffed out, and Wanwan was forged again. The so-called royal bearing, isn't it twilight? After Xiao You left, there was a palace maid named Tonghuan, who was older than her and very stable, and Wanwan felt that she had the potential to be a Jingqi grandmother in the future. The advantage of her is that she doesn't say much, and even if she does, every sentence is well thought out, so there are basically no mistakes or omissions. Like Xiao You's "Master, what to do", which is on her lips at every turn, it is all extinct in her. She can handle all the unexpected situations around her very well, so when Young Eunuch Xiao became Xiao Zhangyin and stopped managing the palace affairs of Yude Palace at all, she was still in good order.
Looking at the flowers in the spring and the scenery in the autumn, there is nothing wrong with living and no surprises. Wanwan is used to being at peace with what happens, at what stage, what kind of arrangement to accept, thinking that there will be no more variables, but life is full of bumpy and narrow roads. Many things have been expected for a long time, but the only thing I didn't expect was that such a young emperor, all of a sudden, there was no medicine for the stone, and he died in less than two months.
In the eleventh year of Longhua, it rained for a long time, and the walls of Yude Palace were dotted with mildew, and even people looked damp. Wanwan got the news that the emperor was seriously ill and went to the Heart Cultivation Palace to see him once, but Xiao Duo secretly reminded her that she was very sick and did not ask her to visit her in bedside. She had been worried since she came back, and she had slept very unsteadily at night, when she suddenly heard the knocking sound of a cloud wrench in the aisle, and she sat up in a hurry, and the chill was pervasive, and she couldn't stop shivering.
The copper ring came in with a lamp, and she hugged her knees and asked, "How is it?" ”
Tonghuan's face was full of sorrow, "Your Highness, the old man has died." ”
She lay down with her head on her back, and suddenly felt that there was no way forward. The big brother is gone, Xiangfu is gone, how is it good to leave such a mess? King Rong is still young, less than six years old, and the government affairs of the court should fall into the hands of Empress Zhao. She is still the eldest princess now, and it won't be long before she becomes the eldest princess, and when she thinks about it, she is lonely and more lonely.
The candle was in tears on the copper skewer, and the copper ring took the mourning clothes to change for her, and said: "This time is the first to pass on the matter, and the small funeral will stop in the temple of the body, and the death knell will be struck at dawn." She put on a filial piety bun, pinned the plain silver hairpin, and earnestly told her, "Your Highness must not be too hurt, now is the moment of the meeting of the wind and clouds, let's take advantage of the situation." ”
Wanwan looked up at her, "What does this mean?" ”
Tonghuan tugged at the corner of his lips, "The time when the slave maid was on an errand was not short, since he entered the palace at the age of eight to today, it has been fifteen years, he has seen a lot of things, and he has experienced a lot, so he knows what to avoid at this time." You are a royal leader, and no one in the sky can shake your position. You have your future, and sooner or later you have to leave the Forbidden City, so this will be clumsy, and nothing will be the best. ”
She was a little wooden, her heart was in a mess, and she didn't have time to think about the meaning of her words, but nodded.
