Chapter 17 Abacus
The sky is dark, the moon hangs on the side, the night is like water, Zhang Yuxia is sitting in the palace sedan chair back to the house, her eyelids are slightly drooping, her expression is lonely, and her mind is full of lingering, the sigh of the emperor that cannot be dispersed, and the queen's forbearance is annoyed. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
After coming out of Fengyuan Palace, the emperor seemed to be more gentle to her, and the tenderness in her long and narrow eyes was like water, but she could see that there was also endless sadness in it, what would make the emperor so sad? Zhang Yuxia clearly felt that her heart was trembling, and the emperor's sorrow affected her, making her unconsciously want to share the burden for the emperor and stay by the emperor's side, but what could she do? Will the emperor need her? He is the supreme emperor! Zhang Yuxia was apprehensive.
The emperor seemed to like her, he liked to hold her little hand with his hot hot hand, and he did not avoid the eyes of others, although she was shy, she still had a little bit of luxury and a little bit of careful pride, and she could even feel countless jealous eyes hidden in the shadows; It's just that this friendship is really as the queen said, it is the father's love for his daughter, is the queen right? The will of the monarch is unpredictable.
In the repeated mood, I occasionally lifted the sedan curtain, only to find that the sedan chair had arrived at the Anle Mansion.
The lights in and outside the house are bright, revealing a hazy yellow light, only going out for a day, but it seems to be as far away as a few lifetimes. Looking at everything familiar in front of me, I felt a long-lost sense of intimacy.
From afar, I saw the first-class girl of Pine Forest Garden, Kwai Zhi, coming over. Zhang Yuxia knew that her grandmother had sent her to look for her, so she politely sent the palace sedan chair back to the palace.
"Miss Chief, Mrs. Tai has specially prepared a supper over there, please come over." Kwai Zhi behaves steadily, is generous, and treats people very measuredly, and has won the trust of Mrs. Tai, but he still does his best as always. Zhang Yuxia looked at her and appreciated her very much.
"Aoizhi, Second Miss, Third Miss, are they all there?" Zhang Yuxia knows the temperament of her family very well, and she always likes to join in the fun. She is very sure that now in Mrs. Tai's house, not only a few younger sisters, but also the third and second aunts are all designated to be there.
"It's all here, the second lady, the third lady is also here. They all stayed there and waited for the young lady to come back. Aoi eda smiled, and the light tinted her delicate face with a faint flush.
The people in the deep mansion compound, especially the women, have always been to hide from the upper and lower levels, and the Anle Mansion is no exception.
The night concealed the indifference on Zhang Yuxia's face. I'm afraid that tonight will be unpeaceful again, the second aunt's straightforward greed, the third aunt's detour, the seeming affection of the younger sisters, and the loving concern of the great-grandmother, but the great-grandmother is only concerned about the future.
Zhang Yuxia's head is so big that she can guess a conversation for a while without even thinking about it, bored and tired of coping. But what? A family must always have a way of getting along with each other.
Anle Mansion, when will you be able to lift the veil of hypocrisy, so that people don't have to be so tired and so open?
In the pine forest garden, the lights are bright, the figures are abundant, and even the shadows reflected in the windows bring a bit of exaggerated joy.
"Miss Zhang, you're back." Kwai Lan greeted her.
The laughter in the room stopped abruptly, and they all raised their eyes and looked at the "nobleman" who had just returned from the palace.
Zhang Yuxia slowed down her mood and gave gifts one by one.
"Sister Xia, you're back, we've been waiting in my grandmother's house all day." The second aunt Wen pulled her to her with full enthusiasm, and Zhang Yuxia's hands were about to be heated.
Zhang Yuxia quietly withdrew her hand and looked at Mrs. Tai, "Grandmother, you really don't have to worry about Xia'er. Xia'er is older and knows how to take care of herself. ”
"No matter how big it is, it's also a grandmother's baby, you've been here all day, can grandmother miss it?" Mrs. Tai was in a good mood, and the wrinkles on her face were like water waves, relaxed and natural.
"Sister Xia, is it fun in the palace? How does the emperor treat you? The third aunt Fei's pair of Danfeng eyes narrowed with a smile, the good-looking jet-black pupils were hidden, and the shrewd mind was also extremely hidden.
"Thank you for your concern, the emperor is merciful and treats everyone well." Zhang Yuxia couldn't smell the vinegar in the third aunt's words, but she replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"Look, our sister Xia is now more and more able to speak, no wonder the emperor fell in love at first sight." Fei's yin and yang smiled weirdly.
Zhang Yuxia pursed her lips and sneered invisibly, and said in her heart, if the third sister Zhang Yulin went to the palace, the third aunt would really be happy from the bottom of her heart.
"Eldest sister, where did the emperor take you to play? The emperor likes you very much, doesn't he? What did he tell you? Zhang Yuyan held Zhang Yuxia's hand and kept shaking it, shaking her wrists so sore.
Zhang Yuxia looked at Sister Yan, who was a little ghost, and said with a smile, "When I am free, the emperor may invite our sisters to go with me, and at that time, the palace will be lively." ”
When people are in a good situation, a light word will also cause a big response, just like now, it is an insincere word, but it is hammered into people's hearts like a drum and a morning bell. Man is such a ridiculous animal, crazy and stupid, always hoping for good things to accompany him.
Mrs. Tai's smile faded, and she said thoughtfully, "Sister Xia'er is the ninth birthday of the ninth month of September, and there are still more than two months before the opening ceremony." It's an adult. ”
Mrs. Tai has her plans in her heart, and everyone in the house knows it, and everyone knows it. There used to be a prince, but now it is the emperor, which is even better. As soon as she came, Zhang Yuyan relieved her embarrassment, obeyed the will of heaven, and could be established as the crown princess; Second, after Zhang Yuxia's opening ceremony is completed, she can enter the palace to serve the king's bedside, which irreplaceably consolidates the status of the Anle Mansion.
And in front of him, looking at the emperor's friendship with Zhang Yuxia, it is definitely a concubine, soft and long.
"At that time, maybe even the queen will be able to come in person." Fei didn't know what An's thoughts were, and he led the emperor to the emperor every word, and he pretended to be annoying.
Mrs. Tai was very willing to hear such flattering words, and smiled, "Don't worry, in the future, our daughter's birthday will be lively." The opening ceremony is more decent. ”
"Mother said very much. Our Anle Mansion can't be neglected by outsiders. I heard that the second lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion invited more than 20 tables of guests to the opening ceremony a few days ago, and she spent 3,000 taels of silver alone. "Wen's ears are long, and he likes to inquire about other people's private affairs, and he hears a lot of interesting things.
"Three thousand taels is nothing, it's not that we can't take it. Besides, I spent three thousand taels, but I'm afraid that if it is a gift money, it will have to be at least tripled. Fei Shi was deeply dissatisfied with Wen's fuss, raised his chin slightly, covered his mouth and smiled.
Zhang Yuyan's vanity was hooked again, and she looked very expectant.
Zhang Yulin still has an indifferent and indifferent expression.
Zhang Yuping shrank to the side and remained silent, as if there was no such person.
Zhang Yuxia just listened, listened, and was tired of listening.
