Chapter One Hundred and Eight
It has been a few days since the seventh master left the Northern Desert, and the departure of the seventh master always made me feel that something was missing, no one could chat with me to relieve my boredom, and no one could drink with me without scruples, which made me a little unaccustomed, maybe I was used to those days. The www.biquge.info of Pen, Fun, and Pavilion are gone, and sometimes I drink alone, and I feel bitter and unpalatable, and I don't have the original pleasure and sweetness of the wine.
And the fourth master, except for accompanying me when he is free, the rest of the time is generally not in the palace, it seems that he is busier than the previous fourth master who was entangled in official business, not so much busier, but more serious, but when he accompanies me, he is not less at all.
"Princess." Qianping whispered to me from behind me.
"What's the matter? Qianping. I turned my head, glanced at her, and asked.
"Princess, just now the housekeeper came over and said that it will be Concubine Rong's birthday in a few days, and asked the princess what gifts should you prepare?" Qianping conveyed the housekeeper's words to me.
I was stunned for a moment, I couldn't look forward to it, but the people I didn't want to see could appear at any time.
Originally, because of the previous few things, although Concubine Rong and I knew each other tacitly, fortunately, it did not reach the point of deep hatred, but after the incident of the Seventh Master, I had a problem with Concubine Rong. If it weren't for the Seventh Master who stepped forward and stopped all the guilt, the person who was assigned today would have been the Fourth Master.
Concubine Rong, a woman, is in the harem step by step, and it is not easy to get to today's position, and it is reasonable for her to plan for her sons. It's just that the people we care about are already destined to become opponents.
Although I have a grudge against Concubine Rong, after thinking about it, I understand her good intentions as a mother. However, I also have what I can't tolerate, no matter who it is, as long as it hurts the loved ones around me, whether it is unscrupulous or unspeakable, I can't forgive.
Therefore, for Concubine Rong, I think, I'm afraid that she and I will never be friends in this life.
Concubine Rong, she is now the head of the concubines in the palace, it can be said that she wants the wind to be windy, to rain and rain, in the palace, what kind of rare treasures have not been seen around her, as the princess of the fourth master of the Northern Desert, if the things sent are too ordinary, it will not damage the fourth master, although the fourth master does not care about these, but the gifts given are too expensive, I am afraid that I will fall into the tongue of others, and I may not know what impact it will have on the fourth master afterwards. It can't be too light and not too precious, and that makes it difficult for me. For a while, I didn't know what to give.
If you really don't know anything, you don't have to be embarrassed about this matter, obviously you don't want to do it in your heart, but you force yourself to do this. Thinking about it, I also feel a little ridiculous.
The world is helpless, and sometimes I have to do something helpless, which is ridiculous, sad, and lamentable.
"Princess, are you worried about Concubine Rong's birthday?" Qianping asked, worthy of staying by my side for all these years, and you can see it at a glance.
The seventh master has only left for a short time, and the real initiator behind it is Concubine Rong, and now I want to wish her a happy life with a smile.
How can I do it. I am not a ruthless and unrighteous person, the fourth master has affection for me, the seventh master has righteousness with me, I have not been ashamed of those who wear masks and hide their true selves behind, am I the same now? It's a little ridiculous when you think about it.
"Princess, if you are embarrassed by the matter of the Seventh Master and don't want to see Concubine Rong, you will send someone to send a gift on your birthday." Qianping said disapprovingly, this girl didn't like Concubine Rong in the first place, and after what happened to the Seventh Master, she was even more dissatisfied with Concubine Rong.
Don't say that Qianping doesn't like Beimo, Concubine Rong, even if there is no such thing as the seventh master, I don't like to have too much contact with her, I always feel that she is not as gentle as she usually sees, if she sees too much, it will make people shudder, the unfathomable behind it is not something that ordinary people can spy on, it can only be said that she is a person who is deeply hidden.
I sighed helplessly, "If it's that simple, then it's easy to do."
"Qianping is stupid, don't understand what you mean, princess?" Qianping's face was full of greetings, and she looked puzzled.
I shook my head and said: "Not long after the matter of the Seventh Master, everyone understands in their hearts that although this matter is not Concubine Rong herself, it is the initiator behind it, but it is not said on the surface, although the Fourth Master cares about the brotherhood of the Seventh Master, but he did not tear his face with Concubine Rong because of the matter of the Seventh Master, and now on Concubine Rong's birthday, everyone goes to congratulate, but the people who lack the Four Princes' Mansion, whether it is in the eyes of the emperor or the ministers of the court, are all going to be talked about." I don't want the fourth master to be talked about behind his back, the seventh master is not by his side, and now that he is here, I should stay by his side.
Qianping listened to my words, nodded thoughtfully, and said, "I see, no wonder you are so worried, princess." Suddenly, I only heard Qianping sigh, and said to herself: "It's still good to be in Chu State, carefree, don't worry about this."
I smiled bitterly, before I married to the Northern Desert, Qianping and I played freely in the palace all day long like children, and there was no such worry and sorrow, but people always have to grow up, and they can't always be like a child, although at this moment, I am not as happy as before, however, I do not regret marrying to the Northern Desert, and I do not regret meeting the fourth master. When you like someone, even if it's joy, anger and sorrow, it's the taste of happiness.
"Yes, the days when I grew up in Chu were really good, time passed like a white horse, and in a blink of an eye, you and I have grown up, and we can't go back, since we can't go back, then look forward." I say.
At this time, Qianping looked at me with a strange look, and looked at me a little strangely.
"What's wrong? Look at me so strangely? I asked.
"Princess, Qianping feels that the princess now speaks differently from looking at problems, and she will consider and look at problems from all aspects, and her words are meaningful." Qianping told me what was going on in her heart.
"Oh? Is it? "I'll say it casually." Originally, just like Concubine Rong's birthday just now, the princess considered it like that, Qianping didn't expect it, it seems that the credit of the fourth master is indispensable. After speaking, Qianping nodded seriously.
After Qianping's reminder, it is true that no matter how I behave or how I speak, I am somewhat more mature than before, and it seems that there is some distance from the yellow-haired girl who has nothing to do.
"Now, how?" I asked.
"There are two sides to everything, so naturally there is no need for slaves to say more, as for the bad, the only thing is that the princess is thinking about the fourth master first, and she is the last." Qianping said.
"How does the fourth master treat me?" I asked again. Qianping didn't think about it, and said without hesitation: "How can that be described by a good word."
I smiled and said, "Since the fourth master treats me with a lot of affection, I think about the fourth master in everything, and I put the fourth master first, what's wrong." If he treats me well, I will treat him better, this is me, Chu Bingxi. Qianping was speechless for a while.
"Okay, now that the princess is talking more and more with the fourth master, Qianping can't talk about you, princess." Everything is just a rational word, if it is unreasonable, how can it be said clearly?
"But then again, on Concubine Rong's birthday, do you really plan to go, princess?"
Qianping's question pulled me back to my troubles. This is not the state of Chu, what you don't want to do, you can casually refuse, after all, there are imperial grandmothers and royal brothers in front of you to bear and protect, this is the Northern Desert, even if you don't want to, thinking of others, sometimes you have to do it. In this life, there are many things that are really helpless.
"Go, of course." I said firmly.

After lunch the next day, while the fourth master was fine, I didn't go back to my house, but invited the fourth master to accompany me for a walk in the courtyard of the house. At this time, it is summer, and the lotus flowers in the lotus pond in the house are blooming vigorously, and a faint fragrance of lotus flowers comes to the nose, and I am immediately refreshed. Out of the mud but not stained, clear ripples but not demons, so clean and thorough, the lotus is spotless, elegant and refined, and the fragrance strikes people.
"Fourth master, look, how good are the lotus flowers blooming this year?" I pointed to the lotus flowers in the lotus pond and said to the fourth master.
"Well, the whole garden is surrounded by a faint fragrance of lotus flowers, fresh and elegant, which makes people feel relaxed and happy." The fourth master closed his eyes slightly, his brows stretched, and sniffed the lotus flowers in the pool.
"Fourth master, do you like this lotus fragrance?" I asked.
"This aroma is light but not heavy, fresh but vulgar, I really like it." The fourth master replied. It turned out that the fourth master didn't hate the fragrance of lotus flowers, but liked it very much, no wonder the pool was full of lotus flowers.
"If the fourth master likes it, Bingxi will often accompany you for a walk in the future." I say.
What should it be like to accompany the person you like to do what he likes, is it happiness?
If you are too obsessed with the scenery in front of you, people will become more and more comfortable, and gradually forget their original selves. So some like it, it's good to have it. "The fourth master said everything he was thinking.
Look at his distracted appearance, as if he is thinking about something! Some like it, it's good to have it, don't focus too much on the scenery in front of you, this is the fourth master. A fourth master who will not let ordinary people easily guess and see clearly, will not let his opponent easily see through himself.
Seeing that I was suddenly silent, the fourth master asked. "Bingxi, just take a walk with me today, is there nothing else?"
"Uh...... "I don't know how to talk to him about it."
Since the accident of the seventh master, the fourth master's brows have always been wrinkled, and it is rare that he is in a slightly relaxed mood at this moment, if he mentions Concubine Rong to him, he will be disappointed. However, I want to talk to him about this today, and see what the fourth master's attitude is. Seeing that Concubine Rong's birthday is also coming, I don't say it at this time, and I don't know when I will say it, I have never been a mother-in-law, so I just said it.
"Fourth master, here's the thing, in a few days...... It's ......" looked at him, the word Concubine Rong was stuck in his throat, and he couldn't say anything.
"What's that?" The fourth master asked.
Looking at his puzzled eyes, my heart fluttered and blurted out: "In a few days, it will be Concubine Rong's birthday,...................................................................................................................
