CHAPTER XX
However, Wangleng looked at Qianzi for a moment, bent down, stretched out his hand, and pulled her up vigorously, and even fell to the grass with no force, and the corners of his lips just bloomed with a gorgeous smile:
"You're so heavy. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Qianzi lay on the ground snorting and panting, smiling embarrassedly, and was about to thank her, when the gorgeous lips suddenly rubbed against her ear, and said softly: "From now on, your life is mine." Remember, you owe me. β
The chill was carved into the bottom of my heart. Qianzi lay on the ground on all fours, watching her fingers tremble. In the distance, the call of the palace maid rose with the twilight.
ββQianzi will regret today's encounter for the rest of his life. That year, she was seven years old, and Wangleng Junyuan was eight years old.
Soon after, Qianzi was invited by Concubine Chen to be held in her palace to raise her, because "Wangleng, this girl is always clamoring to play with Zi Junyuan." The concubine looks at the child and looks at it pitifully, if she can hold it, she will raise it as her own, the king of the county, you say it's okay? β
What's so bad about that? There is a precedent for a woman in the palace to pass on her child to a noble concubine. Qianzi's mother was just a lowly "change of clothes" back then, and she was accidentally pampered by the county king after getting drunk, and she raised Qianzi, but she was only promoted to a "nobleman". The king of the upper and lower counties couldn't even remember the existence of their mother and daughter, and they were reminded by Concubine Chen, and after thinking about it, they suddenly realized that they asked the inner treasury to open a few pieces of gauze and satin, and two buckets of gold and silver bills engraved with ruyi patterns and sent them to the "Li Guiren" room, and asked her to thank Concubine Chen in front of Concubine Chen - Concubine Chen, who is the head of the three concubines and nine concubines, can take the initiative to adopt a county lady from such a background, which is a kind of "grace" for their mother and daughter.
At that time, Qianzi had no idea that she was "graced". She wasn't with her mother either. This guy seems to be in peace in the world, and hides under the willow shade in the garden where she shouldn't go.
Who knew that in the past few days, because the crown prince has made great progress since the enlightenment lecture, the queen is very fond of it, and she went to the county king to ask for an order, and invited the little princes in the palace in the capital to accompany the prince for a month or two to learn from each other. There were few little boys in the palace, and the Queen Mother was overjoyed when she saw this group, and personally took them to play in the palace, so she went to Qianzi here if she didn't die.
The ground of this garden is flat, the grass is like a mattress, and the queen mother ordered the attendant to take a small rattan ball and ask the children to bow and play tricks. Qianzi's nursery aunt was lazy and didn't rush to find her, but now she didn't dare to come over, so she had to pray to the sky that she would hide better and not show her face and make trouble.
Seeing that the crown prince was about to win the bid, a leg was inserted into the horizontal stab and kicked the rattan ball away. The crown prince was annoyed and said, "What is this? Go and pick it up yourself! The boy smiled, and sure enough, he went to pick it himself, but the ball rolled into the depths of the willow shade. He chased after him, and suddenly saw a small pink round face hiding there, staring at him.
Chimurai sometimes really hates not being able to break her legs.
Her current identity is that she should sit obediently in the house to learn embroidery and try to cause as little trouble as possible for her mother, why should she always be restless? There is no way to do it, so I can only desperately compare gestures and expressions to tell the boy in front of me not to make a sound. He just rubbed his eyes and looked at her.
Qianzi was so anxious that she wiped her palm on her neck: If you dare to speak out, you will die!
The people on the lawn began to wonder: "What is wrong with you, Son III of North Vancouver?" β
The boy smiled at Qianzi: "I saw it!" Then before Chizuki turned his back on him, he added the sentence, "I finally saw the ball!" So he picked up the ball and ran back happily.
Qianzi rubbed her chest, really thinking that she would die just now.
However, he never wanted to hurt her, this moment or later, but he just thought it was funny.
The people finally left after bowing, Qianzi crawled out of quadriplegia, and a pair of beautiful little clogs stepped in front of her slowly:
"Why do you always like to crawl on the ground?" Wangleng smiled on his lips, "From now on, you will be raised by my mother." It was so calm to inform her.
After Qian Zi spent a lot of time digesting and understanding this news, she asked angrily, "Why?" β
"Because you're having fun." That's the whole answer.
When Li Guiren thanked Concubine Chen, he didn't mean to accuse her of poisonous snakes at all, but just crawled on the ground, offering a blatant panic and flattery.
Qianzi almost wondered if the person on the ground was her real mother. But when her mother pulled her to give her a final command, her hands trembled so badly that her voice choked in her throat.
Sorrow welled up. Qianzi suddenly couldn't cry, like there was no tomorrow, as if she was going to drown herself, crying, crying, crying.
Concubine Chen waved her hand on the chaise longue and asked the palace people to pull Qianzi away quietly. She smiled faintly and said, "Since I asked for an edict in front of the county king, I naturally hurt Zi Junyuan like my own child." Nobles can rest assured. β
After Li Guiren left, Concubine Chen didn't look at Qianzi again, just beckoned Wangleng to her side, half-raised her eyelids and asked, "Do you really like to play with her?" Wangleng nodded. Concubine Chen lowered her eyes and said, "Okay, let's play." Don't get into trouble. So he closed his eyes and recuperated, as if he had just given the child a kitten and a puppy as a gift, so easily...... There should always be a sentence in the end, right? Chimurai stood next to her in a daze. Wangleng dragged her hand: "Let's go." "That hand is delicate and cold.
Wangleng is actually quite an interesting playmate. She comes up with new ideas all the time. In the entire palace, I am afraid that only Qianzi dares to accompany her crazy. So childhood immediately became splendid.
Even, under the guidance of Wangleng, the king of the county also had the words "Qianzi Junyuan" in his heart, and after a few more contacts, he felt that "this girl is stunned and looks like me back then", and he was very pity. People say that "Li Guiren's daughter" is regarded as a fall into the clouds.
In this way, Li Guiren naturally wanted to be more grateful for Concubine Chen's kindness, and went to her palace from time to time to ask for flattery, but in the eyes of others, he was annoyed. Who? The queen of the middle palace. She called Li Guiren over and mocked the words "You are now carrying the blood ball in your arms to Gao Zhi, how can there be a middle palace in your eyes". Li Guiren just kowtowed. The queen said: "Okay, okay, carefully this flower and moon look out of the print, but it is not mine." And he told her to kneel down on the stone floor under the porch.
Li Gui's body was a little unhappy, and he couldn't kneel for half an hour, and fainted on the ground in front of him. The queen was also frightened, and hurriedly woke up, and asked what was the matter. Li Guiren was afraid that people would say that she was coquettish and stupid, so he hurriedly kowtowed and replied: "For about a while, the blood did not return to the scriptures, which alarmed the mother, and it was the sin of the concubine." The concubine went to punish herself again and knelt. β
The queen observed that she was honest, and then she put her mind at ease, thinking that "Wei has done it, and now she must be gracious." It happened that he saw a basket of fresh bayberry coming up, so he ordered to save a plate and send it to Li Guiren, and said with a smile: "It is said that my sister is a sincere person, and I only believe it today." It's just a joke, and my sister Hugh is terrified. Take these fruits and play with them. β
This bayberry is a foreign body near the sea, there are not many in Beijing, not to mention that the season is not right at this time, there should not be this thing, the businessmen don't know how to get it, tough and fresh, just like the proper order, its price is worth a thousand gold. Therefore, Li Guiren was very moved, kowtowed upwards and thanked him, and returned to the palace, but his eyebrows were slow, he fell asleep, his body gradually burned, and he couldn't speak.
The palace people were busy asking for the imperial doctor. The imperial doctor checked the pulse, and the Tao was that he had been sleeping unsteadily at night, and he had felt the wind and dew, and during the day, he was invaded by the cold and injured his spleen, and he became a typhoid fever. The spleen belongs to the soil, and the soil is thick, which is not easy to be damaged, but it also depends on the daily accumulation. The patient eats little grains on weekdays and has a weak rustic spirit, so it is very difficult to deal with the evil cold. Fortunately, fire in the five elements can produce earth, so if you throw it with warm medicine, it will definitely work.
On that day, Li Guiren should have gone to Concubine Chen's palace to ask for peace in person, so he only sent a close old monk over. The old monk confessed his illness to Concubine Chen, and Concubine Chen naturally had some face-saving comforting rewards. But Qianzi's personal girl Yang'er, who has to quietly stay outside the door every time Li Guiren comes, and pass some messages and items to the mother and daughter, is also here today. As soon as the old monk stepped out of Concubine Chen's door, he grabbed her and asked long and short questions. The old monk inevitably told him that after Li Guiren used the medicine, although he was clearer, his tongue was bitter and dry, and he was red twice in half a day...... Tell Qin'er to hide the news first and take good care of Xiao Junyuan.
Qin'er was so shocked that her face turned yellow at that time, and when she went back, how could Qianzi not see the truth? Grabbed and interrogated, Qin'er couldn't hide it in the end, and said it honestly. Qianzi suddenly felt a muffled thunder slash down from overhead, and stood still but didn't make a sound.
It just so happened that Wangleng sent her little phoenix to spread the word and told Qianzi to go play, "Bring those sandbags, you will be careful if you dare to be late!" Qianzi stared at her in a daze, her eyes were so terrifying, she scared the little phoenix back again and again, and muttered in her mouth: "It's all Leng Junyuan's original words, the maid is just ordered to pass the word, Junyuan, you ......"
Qianzi cried out "wow", rushed out, unexpectedly, did not pull, Qianzi ran all the way through the doorway and the garden, to the mother, the head buried in the futon, the chest rose and fell sharply, and there was nothing to say for a while, only to see the water in the leaky pot drop by drop on the silver plate below, and the cigarette in the mouth of the copper crane condensed in the room. Li Guiren closed his eyes, his hands hung down next to the quilt, his nails were yellowish-purple, and he was asleep. And all the people came, and they all stood by the door, not daring to speak. Qianzi's tears fell one by one on the embroidered quilt of the large-petaled peony flower.
Li Guiren seemed to have a sense in his drowsiness, his eyelids moved, and he woke up with a strong struggle, and when he saw Qianzi at first glance, he was only in a dream, and a smile flowed from the corner of his lips: "Ah Zi ......" suddenly woke up and said angrily, "Why are you here?!" Desperately raised his hand to push her, "What are you doing!" You've already passed it over there, what are you doing here! Is it fun to get sick?! β
She didn't know where she had such a strong strength during her illness, so she pushed Qianzi to the ground, held on to the edge of the bed and panted, coughing and shaking, and said directly: "Someone's coming...... Are you allβare you all dead? Ahem...... Why don't you tell her to leave...... Walk! β
Only then did the palace people come in in a panic and hugged Qianzi out. Qianzi's face was buried in the placket of someone's clothes, and she could only see a corner from her armpits. In this small triangle surrounded by blue cotton clothes, the mother's room was particularly dim, cigarettes were wrapped around the foot of the bed, large petals of peonies slid down and spread to the ground, and the snow-white bedclothes with autumn fragrance willow patterns wrapped around a thin human figure, lying there panting...... Qianzi remembered this picture for the rest of her life.
In the picture, the mother is so small and so small, as if she can be crushed by the blue at any time.
The palace people sent Qianzi back to the sedan chair, halfway, called Wangleng to greet her, she was looking like a teacher asking for guilt, and she hated to pull Qianzi out of the sedan chair and eat it. The palace people on Qianzi's side hurriedly stepped forward to explain that Li Guiren was seriously ill and other words, excusing Qianzi. Wangleng didn't say anything. Qianzi was in the sedan chair, full of irritability, and did not speak, raised her hand to lift the curtain of the sedan chair, jumped down with a tiger face, and ran away with her skirt. Everyone was stunned for a while, but they still reacted coldly, and hurriedly shouted to catch up, but they were a step too late.
Although Qianzi is a county lady, she is not much different from a little monkey when she gets wild, she drills into it when she sees where the grass is deep and dense, her skirt is hooked, she simply takes it off, she jumps out in her small clothes, runs to a secluded place, squats down and cries well, and gradually hears the voice of the person, and then slips away, drills through a dog hole, and is pushing aside the flowers in front of her, and suddenly sees a person outside, she startled, and quickly retracted her body, but the person pushed the flowers away again, and the probe came in and smiled: "Hey, it's you again?" Are you doing things here? β
This is the boy of the day.
Qianzi looked at the terrain, it turned out that he had already run to the place of the palace of the princess, his heart was weak, and he said hard: "I'm here and there, what do I care about you?" β
The boy didn't expect Qianzi to dare to give him face, so he was stunned for a while, and glanced at Qianzi up and down, and before he could speak, the voices outside the courtyard gate were already coming this way.
Qianzi buried his head in the bushes again, and the boy grabbed him and said, "Stay and stay, let me ask you: Are you lazy again, and now you are called to chase and fight?" β
Qianzi rolled her eyes, how could she have the heart to argue with him, so she said, "Yes, yes." You let go, I'm leaving. β
The boy grinned toothily and said, "I will be chased and beaten at home, but I have never tried to hide in the bushes, I don't know what it feels like?" "I just talked to myself and got in!
Qian Zi was shocked, lowered her voice and shouted: "What are you doing?!" β
But the voices are near.
The boy hugged Qianzi and flashed into the depths of the bushes, but Qianzi didn't dare to raise his voice, so he followed him and the cat was there, peeping at the sound of people getting closer and farther. She stared into the void outside, and he stared at her.
Her face is a ball of powder, and a few clay prints are painted to set off a soft and soft base; The circles under his eyes were red from crying before, and his eyes were black and soaked like two pebbles in a flower pond; The lips were also hurt from crying, and the red dudu was swollen, and the delicate was almost inviting others to kiss it.
The boy leaned over and kissed him.
Thousand Purple Five Thunder Boom! Cast a murderous eye on him. He casually covered her mouth, leaned his face behind her neck, and whispered, "Don't scream, or I'll say you kissed me." β
Qianzi's chest rose and fell violently, and she didn't know whether she should chop this bold, shameless, vicious and vicious guy who was not enough to atone for his sins, chop, twisted into shredded meat, and chopped into the mud to feed the dogs!
She didn't notice that his hands were shaking.
That evening, he hugged the girl's soft little body, buried his face in a fragrance, and was invaded by emotions he didn't understand, and even his lips trembled with numbness.
Then, he let go of her, poked his head out to look, looked back, and smiled, "They're gone, it's all right." β
Chimurai still cast him a murderous gaze. The boy smiled as if he hadn't seen it, waved his hand and planned to say goodbye, but after thinking about it, he stopped, took a little golden doll from his collar, drilled it back, stuffed it into Qianzi's hand, and said softly: "You take this in exchange for some silver and give it to them, and they won't beat you." Got it? Go back, it's not a way to hide like this. β
Qianzi was stunned for a moment, and he didn't come back to his senses until he walked away.
He's a nasty guy, of course. But...... The sound at that moment was so warm.
Later, Qianzi still went to surrender in front of Concubine Chen. The third son of North Vanilla is right, what is the way to hide all the time? Besides, if things get bigger, won't it cause more trouble for my mother.
Qianzi didn't think about Concubine Chen: If she kept hiding, alarmed the princess and queen, and let the whole palace know that the little princess adopted by Concubine Chen ran away like a wild dog, how should Concubine Chen explain?
Therefore, when Concubine Chen held her cheeks and stared at Qianzi, there was a vicious taste in her eyes.
But in the end, she didn't tell her to fight, for fear of leaving a handle, she just told Qianzi to kneel in the corner of the house, "reflect well".
It was a cold room. Qianzi ran all over her body full of sweat, and at the moment it was all cold sweat, slippery and greasy sticking to her clothes, and the two layers of fabric couldn't keep her warm at all.
At the beginning of the shift, Wangleng went to Concubine Chen's house and only said one sentence: "Qianzi, I wanted to play hide and seek with her, so she went to hide." β
Concubine Chen was stunned, and said hatefully: "Then she doesn't know the severity, and she should be punished." Wangleng stopped talking and went to the stage to get a crystal ornament. The red flowers sold in Xiacheng are called roses, sealed in transparent crystals, as thick as dripping blood. Wangleng spun it in his hand, spun around, and slammed it to the ground, and the fragments of stars and blood splashed all over the ground in an instant, and Wangleng knelt down in that fragment. Concubine Chen lost her voice and said, "What are you doing?!" - Okay, okay, I won't punish you, just let her go, you get up quickly! β
Wangleng was expressionless, nodded, stood up and walked out. Concubine Chen couldn't help but say in the back: "You should be careful yourself." Wang sneered: "Of course you have to be careful, otherwise will you save me?" The laughter was sarcastic. Concubine Chen was choked, the shadow of the past spread its heavy wings over the room, guilt choked her throat, she won the palace conspiracy, but it was unspeakable and she owed her daughter for the rest of her life.
And all the words withered. Wangleng's figure as he walked out refused to listen. But perhaps there is a bit of longing in this rejection, right? Concubine Chen finally didn't say anything. Her head drooped, hiding her gaze in the shadows - such a gaze, Qian Zi had accidentally seen it many years later, and then she thought: Maybe this woman really loves her daughter, right? It's just that I don't know how to express it.
When Qianzi was released, she was already weak, lying on the bed and not even wanting to eat. And Wang Leng walked in with a face and a pony whip in his hand.
The maid took the order to go outside and keep watch, and the door was bolted tightly. Qianzi raised her head a little in surprise: "What are you going to do?" β
"Teach you a lesson." Wangleng said, looping the whip in a circle, "so that you don't dare to run around in the future." The hand let go, and the whip fell. Qianzi exhaled in pain. Wangleng bit his lip, not knowing whether he was scared or excited, and looked at the place where his whip fell, it was blocked by his clothes, and he couldn't see the scars on his skin. How bad. Scolding must be understood by others, and beating must be made to let yourself see the scars. She climbed onto the bed and pulled Qianzi's clothes down. To let the cold leather whip fall directly on the delicate back, and each whip turns out a purple and red blood mark, this is the flesh and blood, her things, her mark.
"What are you doing?" Chimura's weak protest. Wangleng sat on her lap, lifted her clothes, and said coldly: "Don't speak!" I saved your life, and I will not allow you to speak, nor will you run around. I'm going to teach you to remember this, and you're not going to forget it for the rest of your life! β
Qianzi's heart sank. This is bullying, do you want to put up with it? Mother's purpose is to endure and endure until death, unless it is certain that the day when you can turn over, but ......
"Ding Dong". The little golden doll fell to the ground. Wang Leng glanced at it casually: "Such a cheesy thing? Do not wear it in the future. You are mine. I want you to be noble, you are noble, I want you to be beautiful, you are beautiful, I want you to be obedient, you are obedient. I've given you all the good luck you've had now, and I can easily destroy it. You will deliver your life into my hands. Don't understand? Do you understand? β
The whip fell whirringly, and Qianzi screamed in pain. Wangleng's wrist was so excited that he softened, but Qianzi turned over and threw her down, snatching the leather whip with one hand: "You're crazy!" Wangleng was stunned and sneered: "You're crazy." I beat you, I can afford the consequences, what about you? β
"I'll take care of you!!" Qianzi's depression finally broke out, and she waved her arm violently, and the whip was pulled down, "If you dare to hit me, I will beat you!" I don't care if I'm crazy or dead. If you are told to fight, you will fight, and you will die, who is afraid of death? I'll bury you if you're killed! β
She was already incoherent.
Wangleng screamed, trying to catch Qianzi's whip, but Qianzi's arm was so powerful, she couldn't take it away at once, she felt suppressed and whipped by such a strong force, and suddenly her whole body was weak, and she gave up resistance completely, just screaming and screaming like that. Whipping releases all pain. Yes, God knows, it's just a raging storm.
Qianzi suddenly slid down, looking at the wolf in front of her helplessly. The strength was exhausted, the whole body ached, and the sanity returned. Oops, what's next? She doesn't want to, you know, as kind and averse to violence as you are, but......
"Mother." Qianzi grunted weakly, asking for help from the woman's most primitive means of escape:
She fainted.
Wangleng sat up slowly, put away his clothes, looked at Qianzi who had fainted, and smiled: "Who is beaten by whom?" β
The scorching pain all over her body, the mark she originally wanted to put on Qianzi's body, turned out to be on herself. This pink-faced, stupid little sister did not hesitate to commit a capital crime in order to get her back.
"So, don't you even want your life for me......" Wangleng muttered, a smile curled up on his lips, red and dripping blood, unexpectedly magnificent and satisfied.
What happened in this room, no one knew later. Qianzi was very worried, but Wangleng never mentioned half a word again, as if it had never happened. She even hid the scars on her body so well that Concubine Chen and the others did not find out.
And after Li Guiren recovered from a coma, the palace people hired another imperial doctor for her. This one is a bit talented, as soon as he took the pulse, he scolded in his heart: it is clearly a body that is sad and sad, weak and hurts the spleen, accumulates cold and hurts the pulse, the body is full of fire and the five elements are chaotic, how can he throw strong medicine, the surface is to cure the disease, and secretly it is to urge his life, even if he is saved in the future, he will leave the root, this is really delayed! However, this matter is related to the net worth and life of his colleagues, and where is he willing to say that he has broken the eyes of the sea for the sake of a noble person who is not light or heavy, so he congratulates him on the contrary: saying that this typhoid fever is good, and the body feels still not happy, it is nothing more than overwork, that is, the so-called "typhoid fever is newly healed, living and working, and thus relapsing, and it is called "recovering from work", although it is dangerous, it is not inexplicable, because of the taste of citrus aurantium gardenia drum soup. Li Guiren had a weak stomach and didn't want to eat, but after drinking some of this soup, he could stand it, and he didn't gause, and he fell asleep while the medicine was over, sweating a little, and feeling much refreshed. This imperial doctor removed the flavors of realgar and aconitum in the old medicine, and replaced them with beehive, banxia, and light bamboo leaves, and ordered people to fry mutton fat to rub the patient's abdomen, and Li Guiren felt stable at this time.
On this day, the imperial doctor was entering the jujube black plum and honey pills to relieve her of the pain of dry mouth. Li Guiren thanked him in the tent, but asked the doctor to come closer, hesitated again and again, and asked weakly: "Sir...... Speaking of bayberry fruit, I may not be able to eat it now? β
The imperial doctor didn't expect the patient to cherish it, so he asked this, and was stunned for a moment, so he could only answer truthfully: After this illness, he has little energy, his spleen and stomach are not strong, and his diet is difficult to change.
Li Guiren sighed secretly, and didn't explain anything, thank him and it was over. I turned around on the sickbed but pondered carefully: no matter how well the bayberry plate given by the queen is, it will be bad after such a three-day delay. If they were allowed to rot, would they be a great sin to despise the queen's will! But how to deal with it? If it is given to anyone casually, it is also disrespectful to the queen, and I am afraid that it will be said to show off grace, and the person who receives the gift may not appreciate it, so it cannot be. If you reward someone, others say that the treasure given by the queen is only worthy of rewarding the nobles and slaves, which is ugly. If she eats desperately, nothing happens, if there are three long and two short, and people still say that she deliberately framed the queen in injustice, then what has become of it! After much hesitation, there was only one idea. (To be continued.) )
