Chapter 124: Farewell to the Old
"Master, are you okay?" Er Lan put down the things in his hand and asked softly.
"It's fine." Xia Nishang came back to her senses, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and smiled, but the smile was unusually bitter.
"The master misses the emperor?" Er Lan sat next to Xia Nishang. These days, they have long been not ordinary masters and servants, but more like a pair of old friends, talking about everything.
"I don't know if Yun Xi is obedient." A trace of trance flashed in Xia Nishang's eyes, as if Yun Xun was standing in front of her, waiting for her embrace. It's just that she stretched out her hand, but there was nothing.
"Emperor Ji is smart and sensible, she will definitely listen to Zhen and Chang Emperor Ji's words, don't worry, master." Er Lan comforted from the side. "If Emperor Ji knew that you were so sad, she would be unhappy."
Xia Nishang tilted her head and took a deep breath.
"You're right, it's useless to say this now, if we can go out one day, we will have to pay them back!" Xia Nishang said fiercely. No matter who hurts her child and puts her in prison, and there is no way to maneuver, she will not let go.
"Master, let's eat."
Er Lan saw that she was fine, so she set up the dishes and chopsticks and served Xia Nishang on the table.
Meals as always. At first, Xia Nishang and Er Lan still used silver hairpins to try whether it was poisonous, and then they put aside their hands ~ one ~ this ~ read ~ the novel ybdu. If that person wants to harm them, there are many tricks, and they can eat with peace of mind.
Although the days of the cold palace are miserable, there are hot meals to eat every day, and Xia Nishang feels very happy.
After dinner, the two of them threw the dried fruits into the charcoal basin again, listening to the sizzling incense, Xia Nishang's lips raised a beautiful smile.
"Let's cut some window grilles." Yesterday, along with these dried fruits, there was also a pile of red sprinkled gold paper. There is no scenery in the cold palace, and tomorrow is Chinese New Year's Eve, so cut some window flowers to add joy.
The master and servant cut for a while, and then went to bed.
The next day, Xia Nishang was woken up by the sound of firecrackers outside.
She lay on the bed in a daze, looking at the ceiling, feeling a little sour.
On the last day of Jiajing's eleventh year, I didn't expect that I would spend it here.
After getting up, I still had dinner and embroidered things for a while as usual. Yesterday, the guard said that he would be on duty these days and would not be on an errand outside the cold palace.
Therefore, in the past few days, Xia Nishang and the others can relax a little, wait until he comes back in a few days, and then give him the things.
The guard was very good, not only brought hot meals to Xia Nishang and Er Lan, but also cotton clothes to ward off the cold. Although it is not as good as when she was a concubine, it is also thick, which saves Xia Nishang and them a lot of suffering.
However, I don't know who the people outside are, Xia Nishang still can't fully believe him, for fear of being harmed and not knowing it. So except for Er Lan handing him some forehead wipes, screens, etc., the rest of the people couldn't communicate.
This is Chinese New Year's Eve, farewell to the old and celebrate the new, the palace is full of lights, the cold palace is remote, but no one will come.
Xia Nishang and Er Lan pasted the window flowers they had cut yesterday on the window, which added a bit of joy.
The master and servant talked around the fireplace at night, eating tender and delicious chestnuts, but they didn't feel particularly sad.
The noise outside came and went, thinking that the palace banquet had begun.
In the past, Xia Nishang sat on it, eating the delicacies, and her smiling face was sour. Now, in the depths of the cold palace, although it is bitter, it is also happy.
If it weren't for Xia Nishang's hatred in her heart, she really wanted to stay here and not go out. At least, you don't have to face those outside, all of them look smiling like flowers, but they are femme fatales.
The sky is getting darker and darker, but there is a bustle of gongs and drums beating outside.
Xia Nishang looked at the moon outside, only a crooked crescent, like a grinning doll.
"Su Qinhan, how's it going?" Xia Nishang suddenly remembered that there was a woman in the matching hall behind.
"Every day he hid himself in the temple, except for eating, but he slept, and refused to come out." Erlan shook her head. She once went to see it, and the original virtuous concubine Niangniang had long since lost her glory. Today's Su is a little stupid and not scary.
"She's a pathetic person too."
Xia Nishang sighed softly. In fact, Su Qinhan's brain is not enough, and he is not suitable for such a mysterious palace at all. She was pampered and didn't know that the sky was high and the earth was thick, and she could only say that she deserved such an end.
If she wasn't Le Xin Zongji, if she wasn't the queen mother's niece, maybe there would be a different life waiting for her.
However, who can have a choice?
If Murong Yining hadn't entered the palace in his previous life, how could he have such a miserable day now?
It's just an empty sigh.
"You go see her tomorrow, so don't let her die." Xia Nishang's voice was a little sad. The rabbit died and the fox was sad, she was really afraid that one day, she would also embark on the path of Su Qinhan and become such a person, a ghost and a ghost.
"Don't worry, master, slave and maid can save it."
Xia Ni wore her jaw and no longer dwelled on this issue.
This kind of thing is just doing your part, and it is useless to talk too much.
Er Lan felt that Xia Nishang's heart was too soft, that concubine was not a good person, and she didn't hurt people at the beginning, but Xia Nishang was still willing to help her.
"Knock knock."
The master and servant had their own thoughts, and they sat together silently, but there was a sudden knock on the door outside.
"Anyone?"
Xia Nishang and Er Lan glanced at each other, and they both saw doubts in each other's eyes.
Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, everyone in the palace is busy, where will anyone come to this cold palace?
Xia Nishang felt bad in her heart, so she picked up the stick next to her and held it in her hand, and then walked towards the palace gate with Er Lan one after the other.
The knock continued, and it didn't stop.
Xia Nishang turned her head and listened carefully, as if there was a voice talking outside.
"Zhiqin, you knock for a while, I'm afraid that my sister fell asleep and didn't hear it."
It was the voice of the moon in the cold night, and a trace of surprise flashed in Xia Nishang's eyes, that is, he threw away the stick in his hand and opened the door himself.
What catches your eye is not Zhen and the eldest emperor Ji Leng Ye Yuewu and the female official Zhiqin beside her?
Xia Nishang felt as if God had given her a surprise, and tears flowed out at once, where could she still open her eyes.
However, Er Lan on the side reacted, holding Xia Nishang's arm to prevent her from fainting, and beckoned the two people outside to come in.
After all, the gate of the cold palace is not a place to speak.
Leng Ye Yuewu and Zhiqin were also full of tears, looking at the queen mother who was high up at the beginning, but now she has fallen to such a point, the sourness in her heart is indescribable.
After taking the three people to sit down, Er Lan went to bolt the door tightly again, and then stood behind Xia Nishang.
"Sister, what's wrong with you?"
Xia Nisheng still had tears on her face, and she was stumbling when she spoke, she really didn't expect that they would come. That kind of huge surprise was so overwhelming that she didn't know what to say.
"They are all at the palace banquet, if anyone will notice me, I will take Zhiqin over to see you." In the cold night, Yuewu held Xia Nishang's hands tightly, full of joy. "I'm not worried about you, how are you? Is there suffering? ”
"It's all good, it's all good." Xia Nishang wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. "It's just a bit of a depression, no one, and we don't suffer anything."
"And say that you have not suffered, why have you worn such coarse cloth?"
Leng Ye Yuewu frowned, looking at the dark green coarse cloth jacket on Xia Nishang's body, her heart seemed to be stirred together, and she couldn't breathe in pain.
Xia Nishang turned her head and looked at her body, although it was not good material, it was warm. Now she is in the cold palace, and she is the master of the first palace, where is there any good thing waiting for her. Rao is this coarse cloth garment, which they also worked hard to get.
"It's very warm, and besides, you can't wear it anymore, so it's good to wear it." Xia Nishang half-smiled and patted Leng Ye Yuewu's hand, wanting to put her mind at ease.
However, Leng Ye Yuewu looked at her originally delicate sister, and fell to such a point, where can she rest assured.
But he didn't want to make Xia Nishang sad, so he took her hand and chattered for a long time, until the drums outside were more drumming, and he stopped.
"Sister, go back quickly." Xia Nishang listened attentively. "The palace banquet is coming to an end, if someone finds out, it's not good for my sister."
Xia Nishang was very happy to see the cold night and Yuewu, but she was not such a selfish person, so she naturally wanted to think about her.
Leng Yeyuewu's face was full of reluctance, thinking about what Leng Yexuan said that day, it was a burst of coldness, and he didn't want to leave.
"Whoever wants to say whatever they want to say can say anything, I'm a long emperor, and I'm afraid that those Laoshzi won't succeed?" These years of life have also given the cold night moon a little bit of the majesty of the superior. I saw that her phoenix eyes were slightly erected, but she looked sharp.
"Sister, I don't know how you treat me, it's just that my sister has to be good to save my sister out."
"You're just too simple." Cold Night Yuewu poked Xia Nishang's forehead, looking incorrigible.
Xia Nishang smiled bitterly in her heart, where is she a simple person, as early as after being reborn, those beautiful words are not suitable for her. It's just that the revenge has not been avenged, and she will not admit defeat so easily.
"Sister, go back quickly." Xia Nishang was also reluctant to let go of the cold night and the moon, but after all, she still remembered in her heart, so she drove her away.
Leng Ye Yuewu instructed a few more words, and when she saw that she really had to leave, she put down a little gold and silver naked and walked out.
Xia Nishang knew her intentions, so she took it and sent her away without mentioning it.
