Chapter Sixty-Eight: Alone
I thought of the "Yun'er" called by the Queen Mother in the past, so I nodded and smiled: "Well, it's good." ”
Miao Wu sighed, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go with you." ”
Miao Wu went out with the old bed net, and I called, "Miao Wu? ”
Miao Wu looked back at me, and I said, "Prepare some common ones and send them to the Queen Mother tomorrow." ”
Miao Wu wanted to say something, but in the end she just nodded and said, "Well, I know." ”
I smiled and went to bed.
On the second day, when I got up early in the morning, I took Miao Wu to the Queen Mother's bedroom.
Although she lives in such a justifiable palace, she is still blatantly neglected, and the queen mother who wants to do the most is now useless.
There were not many people in the palace, so I went in directly without passing the word, and the Queen Mother sat quietly in front of the window, not moving at all, just sitting quietly like that.
Until the old palace man said softly: "The Queen Mother, the Imperial Concubine is here." He looked up and saw me.
I asked for peace, she pointed to the chair next to me, I sat on the side, the old palace people had already gone down to place the objects I had sent.
The queen mother looked at those things and said silently: "I didn't expect that the mourning family would have today, and the retribution was unhappy." ”
I looked at the lonely appearance of the queen mother, because I knew that Concubine Chen's affairs had nothing to do with her, so I comforted: "The queen mother doesn't have to be sad, the concubine knows that you haven't done anything to be sorry for others." ”
The Queen Mother looked at me and smiled softly: "No, the mourning family has done it," she said, her face full of no sorrow or anger, and she fell into the memory, "The hexagram you were in Xiangguo Temple at the beginning was the one who threatened the abbot of Empty Silence, but the abbot atoned for his own sins...... The mourning family does not have so many ambitions for the throne, but the Liang family has, since the Liang family will sooner or later involve the mourning family and Ah Qing, the mourning family might as well help the Liang family......"
I looked at the tears oozing from the queen mother's wry smile, and knew that she was thinking of Ah Qing, so I just said lightly: "The queen mother mourns." ”
She just smiled soullessly: "I just didn't expect it to affect my love, what else do you mourn?" I haven't felt it for a long time......"
After speaking, he looked at me deeply and said, "Retribution...... The Liang family is now gone, and so is Yu'er...... What kind of queen mother am I! How can it be worthy of a mourning home? ”
I was worried: "Queen Mother? ”
She just said silently, "Where do you still have the heart to watch these unpredictable struggles, I am just a mother who has lost her son at the moment," she said, looking at me and said, "I just didn't expect you to come and see me." ”
I smiled and said, "The queen mother treats her concubines very well. ”
She shook her head and laughed at herself, "What's good? It's just that my heart is weak, and I don't know where I can compensate you for a comfortable life, so I can only do these superficial efforts! It's all fake! ”
I didn't know what to say, but she smiled lightly again: "This time, I'm finally free, except for this palace where the queen mother lives, what else can take me?" I'm not the queen mother, nor the queen, nor the daughter of the Liang family, I want to get through these years quietly......"
I probably saw the shadow of the concubine of the cold palace from the queen mother, but fortunately, the queen mother was finally in full bloom, so I just smiled with her: "When does the queen mother feel bored, you can send someone to call the concubine...... Call me. ”
She quietly stared at the carvings on the window lattice and smiled: "I'm afraid that I don't have such a heart, and dying here quietly is me, and I deserve it." ”
I looked at such a queen mother, I really couldn't feel at ease, she seemed to see my worry, so she turned around and said: "Seeing you is like seeing Aqing, if you want to be good, I will also be good......"
When I heard this, I was relieved, so I took my leave and left here.
When I returned to Chenji Palace, Yuyu had already retrieved the manuscript, and seeing that I was also back, he asked me to sit at the table and look at the manuscript.
I saw that the sycamore leaf painting was really good, so I picked the silk thread with Yuyu, sat there, and learned it like a needle by needle, although it was not easy to learn, but I hadn't pricked myself with blood, which was very cautious.
I learned the basics, so I sat in front of the window and embroidered quietly, only embroidered until the sunset hung in front of the window, then rubbed my eyes, ready to rest, but when I looked up, I saw Qi Yue coming in from the palace gate.
So I put down my needle and thread and went out.
Qi Yue watched me come out of the house and said with a smile: "It's quite discerning, and you come out to greet me?" ”
I gave him a blank look, asked Miao Wu to make tea, and the two of us sat on the stone bench in the courtyard, and I wondered, "Why did you enter the palace at this time?" ”
Miao Wu brought tea, and Qi Yue smiled: "I miss you, come and see you." As he spoke, he just drank tea quietly and did not speak.
I always felt that something was wrong with Qi Yue, but I couldn't see it for the time being, so I just stared at him, he drank tea and held a tea bowl, and I was really uncomfortable staring at him, so he smirked: "The tea is good, but the tribute tea?" It tastes good. ”
I said lightly: "The most ordinary tea, you should taste it." ”
Qi Yue stiffly put down the tea bowl and said with a smile: "Really? I didn't drink it. ”
I asked directly, "Ah Yue, what's wrong with you?" ”
Qi Yue shook his head, smiled and didn't speak, and I said again: "You obviously have something on your mind, come to me to lose my appetite?" You are talking, can I help? ”
Qi Yue looked at the slanting sun in the distance fixedly, and said with a smile: "It seems that it can't, she is leaving......
It dawned on me that he was worried about Fuyue's affairs, so I asked, "Is Miss Fu really the love you are looking for?" ”
Qi Yue smiled: "So what? ”
I hurriedly said, "Ah Yue, how many such people do you think you can meet in your life?" One! Some people never meet one in their lifetime! How can you give up on yourself like this? ”
Qi Yue looked at me and asked rhetorically, "So what?" Chuxi, you want me to give up everything here, follow her, follow love, desperate, cut off everything, right? ”
I said flatly, "Yes!" ”
Qi Yue smiled lightly: "I can't do it, Chu Xi, I can't do it!" ”
I was just about to speak, Qi Yue said again: "Yes, I can't let go of this glory and wealth, I can't let go of this status and status, I can't let go of everything," he looked at me and said, "Are you going to be indignant and want to preach?" ”
I didn't know what to say when he said this, I just looked at Qi Yue quietly, and after a long time, I suddenly asked, "Ah Yue, what ...... Is that really the love of your life? ”
I thought Qi Yue would hesitate, but I was wrong, he didn't have a trace of sluggishness, and he was not like him decisively, so he responded: "Yes." ”
I opened my mouth several times, but finally I didn't know what to say, Qi Yue looked at me and smiled, his face was still gloomy, and asked me: "Chuxi, do you want to ask me, why are you reluctant to give up this thing outside your body?" Why can't love withstand all this glitz? ”
I nodded, Qi Yue looked at it and nodded, and finally all the smiles couldn't hold on, but said expressionlessly: "Because I really can't let go, I've had it, it's really hard to let go." ”
I couldn't pretend to smile a little, and said, "But this love is too, since you have it, how can you let it go?" ”
Qi Yue didn't speak, I sighed, and said, "Ah Yue, I respect your choice, but what I should say, I still have to say." You don't think about a lot of worldly lives, you have to follow your heart, you do what you want to be worthy, what reincarnation? What happens by chance? It's all a lie, once you miss it, it's a lifetime. ”
Qi Yue said lightly: "I know, it's just that my life is not all the spring and snow and marital love, but also firewood, rice, oil, salt and plainness, without what I have always relied on for survival, I don't know what else to rely on." ”
I retorted, "Are you going to take all these things for the rest of your life just because of your origins?" Shouldn't you fight like a man who stands up to the sky? Besides, Miss Fu is also a royal family, is it interesting for you to make such an excuse? ”
Qi Yue still shook his head, but said: "Not only that, I can't bear to live on her, we can't give in to a step, since we can't let it, we can only pass by." ”
I said, "So what? Is all this that you can't forget and can't give up the culprit that completely blocks this relationship? ”
Qi Yue didn't speak, I stood up abruptly and looked at him: "Ah Yue, don't you think this is an excuse yourself?" No, not an excuse...... Yes, the most fundamental thing is the prince in this glorious and prosperous world, these are what you have in mind. ”
Qi Yue said sadly: "Maybe." ”
I nodded and smiled: "Well, compared to everything that can ensure food and drink, love is not worth mentioning......" I could only sit back quietly and said for a long time, "In that case, what about the world?" Is it even less worth mentioning? ”
Qi Yue just said silently: "The most affectionate emperor's family, how true can it be?" I can't compare with my spoonful, how can I compare with these three thousand miles of splendid mountains and rivers? ”
I kept sitting there and didn't speak, and Qi Yue asked me, "Why don't you speak?" ”
I said, "I can't change it anyway, so why bother?" ”
Qi Yue said: "She's leaving, do you want to say goodbye to her?" ”
I nodded and said, "Well, I always have to tell her that there is not only love and lovers in this world, but also many amazing years." ”
Qi Yue nodded, didn't speak, and left without sitting for long.
The Wang family was about to send Qi Yue, but I stopped him and said, "Don't send it." ”
The Wang family was a little puzzled: "What's wrong with the girl?" ”
I looked at the back of Qi Yue going out alone and said, "The path he chose by himself, he deserved to go alone." ”
The Wang family looked at me and didn't know why, so they could only go to work again.
