Chapter 118 Depression is uncomfortable
According to Yang Guang's meaning, Yuan Ziyan still waits with the car, and the work of serving tea and pouring water is the same, but he has an extra title, plus he can speak in the court.
At first, Yuan Ziyan felt that there was not much change and didn't take it too seriously, but as time progressed, Yuan Ziyan became happy again, because she found that the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace nodded when they saw her, with a flattering smile on their faces. Hehe, it makes people regain some self-confidence.
"Miss, I didn't expect you to be an official in the palace, this is a great honor for our Yuan family!" Yuzhu said happily to Yuan Ziyan.
"Don't be overjoyed, those who are officials should share their worries for Your Majesty, seek well-being for the people, don't get carried away and lose your duty." Yuan Ziyan deliberately wrenched his face and said in the tone of his father Yuan Tiangang.
Yuzhu was overjoyed, leaned back with a smile, wiped his tears and said, "Miss, you really look like the master!" However, the official positions of the two of you are almost the same now, and when the young lady becomes the marquis and pays homage to the prime minister in the future, won't the lord have to salute you? ”
"Nonsense, when did he also be my father, and he was my idol." Yuan Ziyan told the truth.
"Hehe, Miss, I was always anxious that you didn't become a concubine, but now it seems that being an official is better than being a concubine, free and easy, unlike those women, who look glamorous on the surface, can't go anywhere, can only stay in their own room every day, it's boring."
Yuzhu's words really reminded Yuan Ziyan, yes, there is no salary increase, no office, and no bus, it is always possible to apply for the privilege of being free to go out of the palace, right?
"However, that Zhou Shanshan is really a blessing in disguise, there are more people who fall into the water, but she provoked His Majesty's love, and she was sealed a concubine at once, I heard that her father was happy to have a big banquet at home, with colorful lights, and countless money, and it didn't stop for three days and three nights." Yuzhu pouted.
"Then have you seen Zhou Shanshan recently?" After Yuzhu mentioned this, Yuan Ziyan almost forgot that Yang Guang's physical condition was getting worse every day, and he hadn't officially spoiled anyone since he came to Luoyang, and everyone only thought that he was in a bad mood or in a bad mood, and they didn't care.
Only Yuan Ziyan understands the truth, Zhou Shanshan was canonized as a concubine and announced to the world, but it is a little sad that she has not been favored by His Majesty so far. What makes Yuan Ziyan more strange is that Zhou Shanshan has never asked Xu Tingfu for accommodation since then, and she has shrunk in her bedroom for the past few days, and the door is not out of the door, as if she has been forgotten by the world.
"Yuzhu, what kind of psychology do you say this Zhou Shanshan has?" Yuan Ziyan was puzzled: "In the past, she cut her head to attract His Majesty's attention, but now is the time to be favored, why don't she take the initiative to get closer?" ”
"Maybe she did this on purpose, waiting for His Majesty to invite her."
"It's not like, there are so many women in the back court, and there are a lot of concubines, and His Majesty hates others playing tricks on him the most, and the consequences of doing so will outweigh the losses." Yuan Ziyan shook his head.
"Otherwise, she is now powerful and looks down on these minions, so she has nothing to do with Xu Tingfu in private." Yuzhu tilted his head and said again.
Maybe, anyway, Yuan Ziyan just felt that Zhou Shanshan was a little strange, originally thought that she had finally sealed the concubine, and her mouth was grinning to the back of her head, but she didn't expect that she not only behaved extremely low-key, but even a little, sad?
Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived, the master and servant were talking about Zhou Shanshan, and a palace maid came over, and first gave a salute: "Purple smoke girl, Concubine Yu, please go to talk about it." ”
Jade Princess? Yuan Ziyan was stunned for a second, and immediately reacted, isn't it the icy and jade Zhou Shanshan? Before he could speak, Yuzhu grabbed Bai unhappily and said: "It's really rude, my young lady is the Taishi Ling of the Holy Imperial Seal, why do you still call her by her name?" ”
The palace maid forgot about this stubble, she had already reminded her, and she was so frightened that she hurriedly knelt on the ground, her thin body was like shaking chaff, and she said in a trembling voice: "Lord Ziyan spares her life, the slave maid made a mistake for a while, please forgive me!" ”
Yuzhu snorted with satisfaction, one by one, Yuan Ziyan was quite uncomfortable, and waved his hand with a big grin: "Don't take it as an example, get up!" ”
The palace maid hurriedly kowtowed and thanked her, and then stood up with a pale face. It's not that Yuan Ziyan is terrifying, but that the hierarchy at that time was strict, and the lives of these slaves and maids were nothing valuable at all.
"Your jade concubine is really angry, if you want to come, she should come to see me, why do you have to let me see her?" Yuan Ziyan asked very unhappily.
This, the palace maid was hesitant, thinking, my master is a concubine, but his level is much higher than yours, of course, he never dares to say this, bowed his head and said: "Hui Yu, my lord, since the sunset, the jade concubine has had a serious wind chill, just adjusted her body, I don't want to change the sky these days, the jade concubine sits alone in the courtyard every day, and sometimes washes her face with tears, her heart is depressed, and she falls ill again, as if it is more serious than before." ”
Oh? Yuan Ziyan was surprised, "What you said is really false, it's not a lie arranged by your master to deceive me, right?" ”
When the palace maid heard this, she was so frightened that she knelt down again, "How dare the slave and maid hide from the adult, the imperial doctor also said that the concubine Yu was too depressed and difficult to write, which caused the blood to be poor, and she prescribed a lot of decoction, but the concubine Yu knocked over the soup bowl, but she refused to use the medicine." ”
And such a thing? Yuan Ziyan couldn't help frowning, Yuzhu leaned over and whispered, "Miss, this Zhou Shanshan is used to using her heart and eyes, don't want her way." ”
Having said that, Zhou Shanshan didn't need to do this, Yuan Ziyan couldn't hold back the curiosity in her heart, and still planned to go and take a look. Yuzhu was not at ease, so she had to go with her, but Yuan Ziyan refused, after all, she is still working part-time as Yang Guang's personal maid, and the maid takes the maid, which is too ostentatious.
Soon, the two came to Zhou Shanshan's residence, the environment is quiet, and it is still a new mansion, I don't know how many others envy it.
Walking into the house, the doors and windows were closed, and when she entered suddenly, her eyes were still a little uncomfortable, and when she saw it clearly, she was surprised to find that Zhou Shanshan was sitting in front of the dresser with a gloomy face, and the bronze mirror was covered with a cloth, obviously she didn't want to see her face.
The palace maid completed the task and hurriedly retreated, the huge room was quiet, Yuan Ziyan could only hear the sound of her own breathing and heartbeat, and she couldn't feel Zhou Shanshan's, and she was suddenly terrified.
Feed!
Yuan Ziyan couldn't help but shout, Hey, immediately there was an echo in the house, which couldn't help but chill in the bottom of people's hearts. Yuan Ziyan was bold enough, but the atmosphere in the room was really depressing, which made her a little uncomfortable.
"Zhou Da Toad, you should always put more furniture in this house, you see that the echo is so loud, how mad it is?" Yuan Ziyan couldn't help muttering.
Zhou Shanshan got up slowly, her hair was green and silky without any dress, just hanging on her shoulders, and when she turned her face, Yuan Ziyan was startled again, and couldn't help but look at it a few more times, and was very surprised in her heart, is this really the Zhou Shanshan she knows?
The eyes are red and swollen, the lips are pale, and the skin on the face is mixed into one color, which is very scary, especially these eyes that seem to have lost their souls, which makes people wonder whether it is a person or a ghost standing in front of them at this time.
"Zhou Shanshan, are you okay?" Yuan Ziyan asked uneasily.
"Ziyan, are you here?" Zhou Shanshan said in a hoarse voice.
Yuan Ziyan couldn't cry or laugh, he had been here for a long time, so he simply stepped forward and opened all the doors and windows to let in fresh air and sunlight.
Zhou Shanshan was still a little uncomfortable, and hurriedly blocked her eyes with her sleeves, Yuan Ziyan was a little unbearable, pulled her to sit down, softened her tone, and asked, "Shanshan, what is your situation, how did you do this?" You know, Your Majesty won't like you when he sees you like this, so you have to dress up. ”
Zhou Shanshan subconsciously touched her face and said with a wry smile: "Even I can't tell whether I am a human or a ghost, and I don't dare to hope to be favored by Your Majesty, I just want to have an afterlife and continue with Your Majesty." ”
"What afterlife, Sanshan, are you in trouble? Speak up, maybe I can help you? Yuan Ziyan said.
Zhou Shanshan's big eyes suddenly filled with tears, and she knelt down to Yuan Ziyan with a puff, crying loudly, crying and saying: "Ziyan, I have done a lot of evil, and I am innocent of death, but I can't affect my family because of myself, but I don't have the courage to commit suicide, I, I ......"
Yuan Ziyan was completely confused, how could she want to die again, so she asked, "Shanshan, did you encounter something on the day you traveled to the lake?" You can tell me, if you really can't do it, you can still find Your Majesty and let him make the decision for you. ”
"Don't tell Your Majesty!" Zhou Shanshan was terrified, and her voice was more like screaming. Yuan Ziyan further confirmed his guess and helped Zhou Shanshan up: "Shanshan, don't be afraid, with me, at least you can tell me, maybe I can find a way to solve it for you." ”
Zhou Shanshan shook her head painfully, as if she didn't want to mention that memory, and said with tears: "Ziyan, I just beg you, let Your Majesty forget me, I am not worthy of serving Your Majesty." Ziyan I beg you, let me die in the palace, from today on, I can no longer use any rouge gouache, nor wear colorful clothes, and strive to age quickly, I beg you, please ......"
Zhou Shanshan couldn't cry, tears of remorse kept falling down her cheeks, hey, I didn't think that Zhou Shanshan would have today, Yuan Ziyan didn't know how to comfort her, so she had to take her into her arms.
But Zhou Shanshan didn't have the courage to rely on, maybe she had committed too many sins, just blindly crying, and the undisguised cry would not spread too far.
has been crying like this, Zhou Shanshan has been crying for an hour and has not stopped talking, Yuan Ziyan was afraid that she would really cry, so she hurriedly asked people to come in, let her drink some water, and helped her to the bed to rest.
Zhou Shanshan, who was released for a moment, was in a much more stable mood, looking ahead with blank eyes, not knowing what she was thinking.
