Chapter 153
Forsythia put the piano on the shelf of pear blossom wood that had been built on the side, Gu Tassel has always been very low-key, and the girl next to her was only placed according to the old practice in the palace, but the only person who could officially enter her hall was Forsythia alone, Gu Tasui was willing to trust her intuition, because those palace maids she was afraid that they were all eyeliner planted by the Queen Mother, and she was really smart, those palace maids were really the eyeliner inserted by Xu Qiushui, because she was the crown princess of the former crown prince, and her identity was already unknown. If it hadn't been diagnosed by the imperial doctor, I am afraid that Gu Tassel's status would be even more embarrassing, but she is very strong in her heart. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Niangniang, the rhythm of this red sandalwood piano has been corrected."
Gu Tassel looked at Forsythia with a smile on his face, as if he had never worried about anything, and then seemed to be infected, and said, "Forsythia, you suffered with me." ”
Forsythia turned his head suddenly, looked at Gu Tassel, and suddenly smiled: "Niangniang, what are you talking about, Forsythia can follow Niangniang to take care of it, it is Forsythia's honor, at first Forsythia was helpless, and now Niangniang is the closest person in Forsythia's life." ”
Gu Tassel smiled faintly, she was very satisfied in her heart, when she saw Forsythia for the first time among the many palace maids, she felt that this person's eyes were very clear, as if she had not been contaminated with any dust in the incident, she also asked her to come over and scout closely, and the conversation between the two people in private was even less like a master and a subordinate, just like a sister.
Gu Tassel didn't know who else to believe, but now that she was willing to believe it, she felt that she was still alive.
Forsythia looked at her, and then said: "Niangniang, this wedding dress is too heavy, the slave scout Niangniang has changed into a refreshing dress." ”
Gu Liusu also felt that the clothes on this body were very heavy, so he nodded and said, "You are still thoughtful." ”
There was already a servant girl in the house who had put up the brazier, and the charcoal fire exuded a trace of heat in the house, Gu Tassel changed into a plain coat, a beaded emerald had been untied, and her beautiful black hair was snaked to her waist.
Forsythia glanced back at her and then smiled, "Niangniang, take a break." Saying that, she had already gotten up and was about to go out, but there was Gu Tassel's voice behind her, and then she was about to sell her footsteps back.
"Forsythia, do you know why I chose you among the many palace maids?" Gu Tassel's voice was very soft, as if she was whispering to herself, but her voice could still be heard by both of them.
Forsythia looked back, but was still standing in place.
"I ...... Like you, they are all helpless people, when I was young, I was forced to learn a lot of things, but I was reluctant, because of rejection, so I didn't want to, that kind of look, I knew at a glance, so, you and I should be the same kind of people. ”
Forsythia felt that the blood in his body was boiling, could it be ...... Does she already know everything? immediately raised all the vigilance, but there was no danger in the eyes of looking at her, and Forsythia immediately didn't know what Gu Tassel meant at this moment? If she wants to debunk herself now, why should she tell herself that they are the same kind of people?
"You don't have to worry, because I won't hurt you, the reason why I am open and honest with you is to tell you that I want to have a confidant now."
Forsythia immediately understood and asked, "You say, you want me to be your henchman?" Aren't you afraid that I will betray you? ”
Gu Tassel smiled brightly, and said more certainly: "I naturally don't believe that you will have this ability, because as long as you have this heart, I will kill you." ”
Forsythia smiled knowingly and said, "Then why did you choose me?" ”
"Because I don't believe that you will come to the palace for no reason, and I will not believe that you are helpless now, so since you have a purpose, then we should reach an alliance."
Night slowly fell, Forsythia closed the door but felt that her strength had been exhausted, she slowly leaned on the door panel, the fear in her heart was extremely great.
The moonlight sparsely tilted to the ground, and the huge palace seemed to be plunged into a light, but this time Chuxiu Palace was exceptionally brightly lit, not only because there were two concubines in this Chuxiu Palace in one day, but also because the emperor would stay in Chuxiu Palace tonight.
In such a bright place, Forsythia does not feel the slightest sense of security.
Unconsciously, Forsythia has walked into the imperial garden, this time is the palace people on duty on duty, so it is rare to be clean here, Forsythia is powerless to lean on the side of the vermilion lacquer mahogany railing, the temperature is now very cold, and a little shivering, but to be able to think about the next thing in such a quiet place, she feels very good.
When she was still in Yipinxian Restaurant, Su Ruohan called all of them together and disbanded them, and hoped that they could let go of their hatred and live a good life in the future, Forsythia knew that when she first met Su Ruohan, she was still a man at that time, and when she saw Luan Feng's eyes asking for help, she even felt that it was very ridiculous, how could it be? How could it be rescued, and if it could be saved, shouldn't the master have been rescued long ago? But she was still wrong, and sure enough, they were saved.
Forsythia thought that Su Ruohan would be like the master and let them work for themselves, but she didn't have anything, no matter what she would do, she would plan for them, such a master, for the first time, she felt that the original transaction could become so simple, she just hoped that they were all safe.
Later, she received the first task, but Forsythia felt very ridiculous, she shouldn't believe that Su Ruohan wouldn't give an order, but Su Ruohan just wanted to know if Mu Changqing was safe, how ridiculous, as long as she was tempted, then the person who took the first step would have already lost.
That night, her chest was still very painful, but when she appeared next to Su Ruohan, she was shocked, it was the young lady who gave her medicine with her own hands, and asked her softly if it hurt, the first task was not completed perfectly, but she still did it, and made Chu Yan lose it without permission, but she didn't tell Su Ruohan about it.
Later, Su Ruohan called her alone, just one sentence: "No matter what you want to do, stop everything." ”
Forsythia was shocked, did she already have an insight into what she wanted to do? But how is that possible? Forsythia still left Yipin Xian Restaurant, she migrated all the way from the northern country to Mu country, and successfully entered the palace and became one of the many palace maids, but now, she didn't know what she did wrong, and she would expose her identity next to Gu Liusu, she didn't know how it all happened.
Forsythia knows, no matter who persuades herself, in short, she plans to do what she wants to do, she must persevere to the end, thinking that she has a favor to repay, she first knew that the emperor of Mu was actually Mu Changqing, she fell into a dilemma, if she said what the result would be, she didn't know, but if she didn't say it, she was sorry for her conscience, what was it, and now she didn't know.
"What are you thinking?"
Suddenly, a voice came into his ears, Forsythia hurriedly followed the sound, but saw a person standing in the moonlight, he was wearing a white brocade robe, covered with a fox fur Dachang, the fur collar was very soft, and his facial features were more supportive, and he was walking towards her step by step at the moment, the step was very steady, but looking at his slender figure, this person seemed to not know when he would suddenly appear beside her, like a shadow.
"It's so late, isn't General Chu resting?" Forsythia's voice was a little displeased, thinking that it would be disturbed so late, no one would be happy.
Chu Yan smiled faintly, and finally stopped two steps away from her, but took off the fox hat he was wearing outside and put it on her, and then smiled: "You seem to have a lot of secrets?" ”
Forsythia turned her face away and didn't look at his face, because she felt that he was very handsome and extraordinary when she looked at him in such moonlight, and because she didn't dare to expose her truest emotions to him.
"Where do I have?" Forsythia's voice was obviously a little trembling, but when she heard it in Chu Yan's ears, there was a burst of refreshing laughter, and then she gently talked on her forehead, and said, "You! ”
Forsythia was stunned, when did they start to be so familiar? How dare he? How can that? Actually play her?
"I'll look for you back at the inn."
"I know, you told me last time." Forsythia interrupted him unhappily, and then tightened her coat again, which was still stained with his body temperature, and for some reason, her cheeks were red.
"No, you don't know, I've arranged for a few more people to protect you near the inn."
Sure enough, Forsythia was stunned, did he mean that he had eyeliner to see him? Thinking so, she felt that her palms were very cold.
"My people saw you return to Yipinxian Restaurant, and called Su Ruohan Miss, I think, you should be the person next to Su Ruohan, but last time you were injured, I don't understand, whether you did it intentionally or unintentionally, if it was intentional, all this is clear, if it is unintentional, then how stupid you are." When Chu Yan said this, he paused again, because he saw that Forsythia's face had changed, and then said: "This time you entered the palace, it must be for your young lady, now you must not have passed on the news, if so, you don't want your young lady to be injured, then about the identity of the emperor of Mu State, I advise you not to say it." ”
Forsythia was also entangled in how to say and how to say this matter just now, but now Chu Yan gave her an answer, but now she fell into silence, don't you say it? But the secret between her and Luan Feng came to Mu Country with Miss on her back, just to find out what clues were here, but now she has found out and knows the secret, but now she has been told, everything is better than not to say.
Chu Yan took another step closer and said, "Unless you want to make your young lady sad." ”
Sure enough, one sentence shocked Forsythia's heart, indeed, did it really make Miss sad to know the truth? If it weren't for repaying the original life-saving grace, she shouldn't have appeared here, but since she came, she had to do what she promised Luan Feng at the beginning.
Chu Yan saw Forsythia thinking about something, so he knocked another dose on her forehead, and saw Forsythia grinning and shouting, "What are you doing?!" At this moment, Forsythia's eyes seemed to be about to breathe fire.
Chu Yan looked at it but laughed a little, and he was in a very good mood.
A day later, Mu Changqing summoned several confidants and ministers to the imperial study, and the specific content was undoubtedly to marry Xia Wanyi, the princess of the northern country.
"I have only just ascended the throne, and my foundation is not stable, and it is certainly a good thing to marry a woman and a relative sent by various countries now, but if a precedent is set in the northern kingdom, I am afraid that other countries will follow suit, and at that time, what should I do?" Mu Changqing said and fell into contemplation again, and then said: "But then again, marrying a princess from the north can certainly resist the two forces in the court and let them pull each other, but if it takes a long time, I am afraid it will be self-defeating." ”
"Marrying the princess of the northern kingdom must be carried out, but the emperor, you should not worry about the things in front of you, if it is ...... in the future," one of the ministers said very respectfully.
At this time, the other ministers also chimed in, saying that what he said was very reasonable.
"I summoned you today, just to ask for your opinions, after all, my family affairs are state affairs, and when it comes to state affairs, this matter is not a trivial matter!"
Suddenly, Chu Yan tried his best to disagree with the public, and said: "Your Majesty, this time the peace and pros must be carried out, and there is no need to say much about the pros and cons, just a little, Xia Wanyi has been married before, and the northern country now wants to try its best to win over our country, undoubtedly not relying on our territory Now it has far surpassed the northern country, whether it is human or material resources, military, commercial trade, it has surpassed the northern country, they are willing to make peace, just to contain us and not to start a war with them, in fact, the purpose of the northern country is still good, It's just that after all, Xia Wanyi once married, and I'm afraid that all the ministers of the DPRK and China have objections in their hearts, but they didn't say it, but then again, the northern kingdom must also be under the guise that if one day, Xia Wanyi can give birth to a prince, then the status of the northern kingdom and the right to speak in other countries, but in this way, we are tired of trying to devour the northern kingdom. ”
"I think so too, I'm afraid that Xia Wanyi will marry and bring a lot of eyeliner......" Mu Changqing was a little hesitant, and at this time, he thought that Minister Shangshu said: "Your Majesty, the minister also thinks that the general's concerns are reasonable, but since he has promised the northern kingdom and his relatives, now he can only marry hard, but the affairs of this backyard are all in the hands of the emperor." ”
"Well, since all the ministers have already negotiated a meaning, I also know, and after the princess of the northern kingdom marries, she will be crowned as a concubine."
"Your Majesty! This is not appropriate, after all, the concubine only deigns to the position of the queen, and this princess of the northern kingdom is of course noble, but after all, she has been married once, and now she is suddenly canonized as a concubine, this identity and status are even higher than that of Concubine Duan and Concubine Jing, I am afraid that the two forces in the DPRK and China will completely lose their restraint, and I am even more afraid that it will cause discussion and suspicion, and make the two concubines even more unhappy, it is better to redraw a position for her, just like the position of the two concubines of Duan Concubine and Concubine Jing, in this way, I can't help but understand our intentions, Let the princess of the northern kingdom know even more that although she has a noble status, since she has been married, then she must abide by the laws of our Mu country. Chu Yan said again: "It's just that this position needs to be considered a little more thoughtfully, but ...... What is a good honorific title? ”
After Chu Yan finished speaking, all the ministers also echoed him, and his analysis was really very thoughtful, but when he said the honorific title, everyone fell silent.
After a while, I heard Chu Yan continue: "How is Concubine Xian? ”
Mu Changqing thought about it and couldn't help laughing: "Sure enough, it's my wisdom bag, it's Concubine Xian." ”
On the table was a fine white brush, the ink had been ground finely, and everything was waiting for her to write down the answer, but when she picked up the brush, she fell into silence again.
That night Chu Yan had already told her very clearly, Forsythia didn't know why Chu Yan was able to gain insight into her heart, since she already knew, she thought that Chu Yan would drive her out of the palace, but he didn't, but helped her cover and secretly helped her settle a lot of things, because she was a palace maid who had just entered the palace, and she was taken care of by Gu Tassel to become a personal female official, such an identity made many palace maids even more red, so it was very common to secretly give her small shoes to wear, but Forsythia pretended not to know, It's just that the days are very hard, but she can be regarded as gritting her teeth and coming over, maybe it was from that night, the next morning her life was like a renovation, the things that used to give her small shoes no longer existed, and the work she originally planned to do was also quietly done, she knew that all this must be because Chu Yan secretly did something to do it, so she was very grateful to him, but she didn't say it to him in person, and today counts the days, she should also report peace, but when she put pen to paper, She remembered what Chu Yan said: "Unless you want to make your young lady sad." ”
How could it be, how could she want to make Miss sad, and finally as if she had made up her mind, she wrote: "There is no news, wait for good news, Ann." ”
Juanjuan Xiu words, finally put away the pen, Forsythia stuffed the note into a bamboo tube tied to the feet of a carrier pigeon, and then released, watching the white carrier pigeon fly farther and farther, her heart also seemed to fall into an ice cave, obviously she already knew the truth, but she couldn't say, such a sense of guilt made Forsythia very sad.
A fresh restaurant.
The restaurant is often crowded outside, but now there are twelve horses outside, which are mixed with jujube red horses, such a formation is already imposing, and at this time I heard an urging outside: "Miss, are you okay?" ”
In fact, the outside formation has been waiting for a long time, and the people who arranged these arrangements are what Xia Yumo meant.
Su Ruohan had already dressed up in the morning, but the news that Xia Luomo got this time was that she had entered the palace, and this news was like a depth charge, making her not know whether the future was dangerous or dangerous.
Luan Feng looked at Su Ruohan's clothes, and she was dressed very decently, and couldn't help but say, "Miss, do you have to wait any longer?" ”
Su Ruohan looked outside, at this hour, she should have delivered the news, but why hasn't she come yet? As early as when Luan Feng was restless, Su Ruohan knew that she must have something to slow down herself, so she asked, but who knew that Luan Feng said everything in 1510, and told Su Ruohan that their plan was to investigate what Mu Changqing was doing, so as not to worry Miss, so she let Forsythia follow secretly, because Forsythia doesn't know martial arts, so it is most appropriate for her to go, Su Ruohan still blamed them for making decisions at first, but after thinking about it, she also knew that they must have done it for her good.
Today is the third day, and they deliver the news every three days, but the three days have passed, why hasn't the news been delivered yet? Just when Su Ruohan was restless, suddenly a snow-white pigeon flew into the courtyard, Luan Feng was overjoyed, and then took off with one foot, and then grabbed the pigeon flying in the air in his hand in the blink of an eye, and quickly took out the bamboo tube.
Su Ruohan hurriedly took a few steps forward, took the bamboo tube in Luanfeng's hand, opened it and saw it, but there was nothing, just "There is no news, wait for the good news, An." ”
Her hanging heart fluctuated even more, and then she took the note and said, "Let's go." ”
Carrying the skirt all the way down the stairs, just downstairs there are people ready to go, and then moved the pedals to let her step on the carriage, the carriage is very luxurious, the outside is all dressed up with fine silver silk, and there are several red bells hanging on both sides, I am afraid that it is also designed so that you can hear a very pleasant bell when you are bored on the road.
"It seems that the time for this prince to come is just right."
A very loud voice came, Su Ruohan looked back, but saw that it was the crown prince Xia Yanmo, and he was wearing a very luxurious prince costume at the moment, dressed in bright yellow, which made his temperament even more extraordinary, but what day is today, the uninhibited prince on weekdays also attaches great importance to wearing formal clothes.
Xia Luomo saw Su Ruohan wearing a moon-white dress, with snow feather shoulders, wearing a milky white and pink satin skirt, rusty water patterns, nameless colors, and many gold and silver lines of snow beaver fluff were made irregularly, and the slender waist was not enough to hold Yingying, showing a delicate figure. The big glazed eyes sparkled, like black shining stones, and the eyes were fleeting. The cherry sip vermilion is not dotted. A head of hair lightly pulls the silver jade purple moon hairpin, like a captivating city, as if floating like a fairy. He knew that Su Ruohan was very beautiful, and even he admitted that he had seen many famous ladies in his life, and there were countless beautiful ones, but Su Ruohan's appearance was indeed more outstanding, and he couldn't help but be a little stunned.
Su Ruohan just smiled faintly and said, "I entered the palace today, I don't know what happened. ”
Xia Luomo only tightened the reins in his hand, but the horse under his crotch raised his front hooves, then roared, and fell on the spot, but the bright yellow cloak on Xia Luomo's body was overflowing and flying in the wind, so handsome.
"What? Are you scared? Xia Luomo finally said lightly.
Su Ruohan just stepped on the pedals, and then Luan Feng helped her into the carriage, she did not go back to Xia Luomo, but her actions also told Xia Luomo her decision, got into the carriage, and then heard someone outside shouting: "Get up," and then the carriage proceeded slowly.
Luan Feng was very careful at the moment to slowly pour out the hot tea in the charcoal fire on the side, and then put it on the small table of rosewood, and then glanced at Su Ruohan, who closed his eyes and recuperated, and said lightly: "Miss, drink tea." ”
Su Ruohan just glanced at Luan Feng, her face showed a strange expression, and her heart began to fluctuate a little, in fact, I don't know why, today Xia Luomo suddenly let herself accompany her into the palace, she always had a strange feeling in her heart, as if something special would happen today, this feeling has been bothering her and making her very uncomfortable.
"Miss, what's wrong with you?" Luan Feng asked again, Miss is really abnormal today, which makes her a little unsure of what happened to Miss today.
"It's okay, I'm afraid I'm just too tired lately." Su Ruohan said lightly.
"Miss, are you worried about Mu Gongzi?" Luan Feng finally asked, in fact, since Mu Changqing left, Miss has hardly slept a day, but she feels that since Mu Gongzi is very powerful, I am afraid that she will not let herself be hurt, and it must be a good thing that there has been no news for so long, but it is useless for her to persuade, after all, the news she passed back from excluding the inquirer is just "No news, wait for good news, Ann." So she paused in her words of comfort.
Su Ruohan's heart was indeed very sad, such an unexplained panic made her stunned, the sound of the bell passed from outside the sedan chair was very good, like a woman gently stroking the piano, the sound was excellent, she closed her eyes slightly but listened to the sound, and soon her irritable mood quieted down, and after a while Su Ruohan realized that this bell was really cleverly designed, and it actually had a calming effect, and then she opened her eyes and quietly opened a corner of the curtain, and the cold wind outside Hula kept pouring in, She frowned a little, but she insisted on looking at the person in front of the group.
The horse was Xia Luomo before, his back was very straight, and his cloak was flying in the wind, such a picture was like a splashed ink painting, very beautiful, and very static, for the first time Su Ruohan felt that she really didn't understand him, before Shu Ruozhen always felt conceited that she could see through many people, and she could see a lot of secret things, but now, she may be tired, tired, and now everything that happens, she feels very tired, but Xia Luomo found her and reached an agreement with her, just said that she would help herself destroy the gathering point of the fine work, but for Xia Luomo's request, until now, she didn't know what she was going to do to Xia Luomo, this person was too strange.
Maybe the man felt that the gaze behind him had been looking at him, he turned around, just in time to meet Su Ruohan didn't have time to retract his gaze, the eyes of the two people met in the air, at that moment, Xia Luomo seemed to be hit, so he couldn't retract his gaze, and looked at her greedily, but he suddenly saw the smile on Su Ruohan's face, and then the curtain was lowered, completely blocking his sight.
Soon, the carriage team entered the main hall with the casual guards at the entrance of the palace, because it was the person brought by the prince, the carriage stopped until it reached the destination, Su Ruohan was helped by Luanfeng to get out of the carriage, and the eunuch brought the pedals, Su Ruohan walked down slowly, but what caught his eye was the majestic palace, connected from end to end, the palace wall was not broken, the vermilion palace gate had guards with knives guarding both sides, and the splendid palace was so dignified and solemn in such a dry winter, Su Ruohan saw the palace in the north for the first time, but it was more splendid and solemn than she imagined, she thought that the palace in the south was already very beautiful, but when she looked at it today, she felt that what she had seen before was nothing now.
Su Ruohan had just gotten out of the carriage, but Xia Luomo on the side suddenly appeared beside her, and just said lightly: "Let's go, meet the old man." ”
