Chapter 45: The Coming Back
For the past few days, Toya has been waiting for news from the DPRK seemingly calmly, but only she knows that she has thought about the turmoil in her heart these days, and even the worst outcome. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
When Shen Mirou came to Fanghuayuan to look for her, Toya stood at the door, looking at the disdain in Shen Mirou's eyes for her somewhat dilapidated garden, Toya's heart suddenly calmed down.
The heart that had been hanging for the past few days was finally let go, and a shallow smile that could not be concealed appeared on his face.
"Today, the emperor has moved the decree and summoned the prince to recall Ye."
Toya looked at Shen Mirou, this result no longer surprised Toya, because when she saw Shen Mirou entering the garden, she was still in the mood to despise her garden, and she could know the answer.
However, Shen Mirou's reaction was not as happy as Toya thought, at least Toya felt that according to Shen Mirou's character, she should be very happy.
"Don't think that this is your credit, if it weren't for your bad idea, how could the emperor praise the second prince in the early dynasty, and handed over some things that were originally under the jurisdiction of the prince to the second prince."
After listening to Shen Mirou's words, Toya knew what the reason for the unhappiness on her face was.
It's just that Shen Mirou was angry, and indeed Toya felt that it was worth being happy, Toya's smile became a little stronger, "Please also ask my sister to thank Zuo Xiang on behalf of my sister, thank him for his great help, the prince can return home safely, and my sister and Zuo Xiang are indispensable." ”
There was a hint of sneer on the corner of Shen Mirou's mouth, "This God, it's getting colder and colder, sister, I've been afraid of the cold since I was a child, so I'll go back first." ”
Watching Shen Mirou leave Fanghuayuan, "Help Bengong make the bed, Bengong wants to sleep for a while." ”
Tuoya commanded Urina behind her, she hadn't closed her eyes well for many days, and when she heard the news that Chu Yichen could return safely, Toya's tiredness for many days suddenly came up.
It's just that the emperor's decision was made so quickly, which confirmed Toya's guess, and it made her even more worried about Chu Yichen's future.
Lying on the bed, but it was difficult to sleep because of worry, although Chu Yichen could come back safely, but sitting still may never be a clear way, if she could, she really wanted to sit down with Chu Yichen to discuss countermeasures, but after all, she was a woman, and interfering in the government itself was a taboo.
I still remember that day Chu Yichen and her chess discussion: "A game of chess is like a war, one wrong move will lose the whole game"
After all, Tuoya still couldn't fall asleep peacefully, got up and picked up a chess book, put on a cloak, and fiddled with a game of chess under the tree where the autumn leaves had fallen.
……………………
"Sister-in-law, why are you sitting here on this cold day?"
Chu Zixuan ran to Toya's side and watched her fiddle with a game of chess, pouting, feeling very bored.
Tuoya put down the chess game in her hand, and was not willing to put away the half of the chess game, but smiled faintly, "Are you here to tell me good news?" ”
Seeing the smile on the corner of Toya's mouth, Chu Zixuan pouted, "Does sister-in-law know that the third brother is coming back?" I thought I was the first to come and tell the news. ”
"What about the ninth brother? Why didn't you see him with you today? "If it weren't for Chu Zixuan and the Nine Emperor Princes being brother and sister, others would probably mistakenly think that the two of them were a loving young couple, inseparable wherever they went.
"Don't mention that idiot, today's father tested him for riding and shooting, and you don't have to guess the result to think of it, right? was scolded by his father, saying that he knew how to play all day long, and he didn't learn anything, so he could only practice well in the palace and couldn't come with me. ”
"It's bothering you to run all the way, it's cold this day, wear more next time, be careful of catching a cold."
Chu Zixuan picked up Toya's arm, and her delicate eyebrows couldn't help frowning, "Sister-in-law, why do I think you're thin again?" Is it that the third brother is not here these days, you are worried about him. ”
Tuoya pursed her lips and didn't answer, just followed Chu Zixuan's steps, gently stepping over the withered yellow leaves on the ground step by step.
"It's a blessing that the third brother can marry you, but it's a pity, it would be great if there was no Shen Mirou." Chu Zixuan has always been unaware of the severity of his speech, and he doesn't know how to hide it.
Tuoya has long been used to it, "Even if there is no Shen Mirou, there will be other people, and I am not the only one who cares about your third brother, don't you and the ninth brother also miss him?" What's more, this time your third brother was able to return safely, and Zuo Xiang's credit is indispensable. ”
Chu Zixuan pursed her lips and didn't care, "Sister-in-law, don't say it, you asked me to admit my mistake for the third brother in front of my father last time, and my father really didn't punish me, it seems that he also listened." ”
"You, do you go to Xiangyang Wangfu on weekdays?" Toya asked as casually as she could, because she wasn't sure what the relationship between Chu Zixuan and the second prince was.
"No, no." Chu Zixuan's attitude was resolute, and his tone did not sound as pleasant as when he mentioned Chu Yichen.
"Why? I see that your brothers and sisters have a good relationship, just like you, the tenth brother, and the sixth brother. "When it comes to the Six Princes, Toya has his appearance in his mind, it has been more than two months since he left last time, and I don't know how he is doing.
Can't help but stroke the mask on her face, he left her with a lot to cherish.
Chu Zixuan looked around, and then said mysteriously: "Back then, we were all young, and the third brother's mother, Concubine Jing, loved our princes and princesses very much, and every time she didn't bother to prepare all kinds of delicious snacks for us. But later, for some reason, my father ordered Bai Aya to be given, and it is said that it was Concubine De who got in the way. ”
"Concubine De?"
"It's the second brother's concubine and the queen's cousin. However, this topic is taboo in the palace, so don't talk about it casually. ”
Before this, Tuoya thought that Chu Yichen's mother concubine was sick and died, but she didn't expect that she was given death by the Qinglong Emperor, no wonder the Qinglong Emperor was so indifferent to Chu Yichen, according to the suspicious character of the Qinglong Emperor, of course he would be wary of Chu Yichen.
"Sister-in-law, what do you want?"
Toya lost her mind for a moment, "Oh, it's okay, it's just the first time I've heard about it, and I feel sorry." ”
Chu Zixuan sighed and said: "It's not just a pity, the sixth brother, we still miss Concubine Jing, since Concubine Jing died, the third brother rarely smiles, you don't know, although I was still young at the time, but I also remember how happy the third brother at that time was to play with us every day." ”
Without a mother's mood, of course Toya knows that since she was born, she has no mother, and her father Khan has always taken care of her, but after all, her father Khan is the emperor of a country, and in the early years, the North Khan was not unified, and her father Khan was fighting all the year round, she could only live with some maids, and she deeply understood the loneliness in it.
Tuoya didn't know what it was like to have a mother since she was a child, but she understood that like Chu Yichen, she had obviously tasted the taste of mother's love, but she lost it in the future and when she grew up, and the taste was probably more painful than her.
