Chapter 42: The Lord's Heart

"The palace invited the second lady of Anle Mansion to enter the palace tomorrow to talk, and Chaoxiang can go to the palace to sit and sit if he has free time, adding to the atmosphere. "www.biquge.info The queen always has a reserved smile, her tone is not hurried, and she has the calmness of everything under control.

The county lord's slender fingers rubbed the body of the cup for a while, raised his eyes and smiled, "Sister-in-law, just because Brother Wen is still inseparable from people, Chaoxiang will take Brother Wen with him another day." ”

The queen is still kind and graceful, and it is also an ambiguous gossip, the queen bows her head slightly and smiles.

The two sisters-in-law talked openly and secretly, and tested each other, and the other party's thoughts were clear and tacit.

At this time, the ladies also sat around, complimentingly. As soon as you say a word, I say a word, and the atmosphere will soon be lively.

Zhang Yuxia sat silently for a while, but she really didn't want to dwell around, and quietly got up and retreated. The county lord's mind turned slightly, and his hind feet followed. While dealing with the noble lady in front of her, the queen glanced at the back of the county lord, and a subtle sneer crossed the corner of her mouth.

Outside, the sky is crisp and the wind is gentle. Without the blazing breath of jewelry, Zhang Yuxia suddenly felt much more relaxed.

"Sister Xia." The gentle voice of the county lord sounded behind him.

Zhang Yuxia looked back and shouted. Her figure was backlit, and it was just a vague introduction in the eyes of the county lord, a little lonely.

The county lord slowly approached and smiled, "Let's go, accompany my aunt for a walk." ”

The two delicate figures are staggered in the thin sun, as if they are entangled in the wrong life.

"Concubine Jin didn't come today, does Sister Xia know why?" The county lord's mind flipped, and he was worried in his heart, and he didn't know how to talk about this disturbing past.

"Isn't Concubine Jin suffering from a headache? That's what my grandmother said this morning. ”

"Although Sister Xia is smart, she is young and ignorant of the world. Concubine Jin is sick, it's just rhetoric. For so many years, Concubine Jin has always been sick like this, how can she ever get better? She has a heart disease, and how can a decoction cure it? The county lord's expression was gloomy, and a pair of eyes looked through the flowers and didn't know where to fall, empty and empty.

"Concubine Jin Guifei was also the daughter of the Anle Mansion, but she was estranged from the Anle Mansion, why?" The county lord paused and looked at Zhang Yuxia with a sad look on his eyebrows.

"Auntie." Zhang Yuxia looked at the unfamiliar face of the county lord, the bitter taste seemed to have penetrated the intestines, and her heart was tense and uneasy.

"At the beginning, the emperor often came and went to the Anle Hou Mansion, admiring your aunt Zhang Lirong's beauty and virtuousness, and Mrs. An Lehou ignored Zhang Lirong's long kneeling and pleading, and finally sent her to the high wall and deep palace. Since then, Zhang Lirong has never shown a smile again, and the emperor has gradually become cold. Your aunt is just a nominal concubine now, but she is in a desolate state of mind at her age. These are not things you can know. ”

Zhang Yuxia had no impression of Concubine Jin, and when she heard the county lord say this, she was also infinitely at a loss, and after a long time, she mustered up the courage to say, "Why did my aunt talk to Xia'er about this?" Her words blurted out, her heart sinking little by little, and her intuition told her that the county lord was stopping her.

The county lord took her hand and said sincerely, "Auntie, as long as Sister Xia tells the truth, Sister Xia really likes the emperor?" ”

Zhang Yuxia saw that the county lord's expression was cold, and she didn't know how to speak for a while.

"Uncle only thinks that Sister Xia still has to figure out the clues, don't be confused by the surface, and explore the inside is the truth." The county lord sighed, his mind was sentimental, "Although there is no touching love between the emperor and the queen, it is true that they have helped each other for many years. After so many years of being in the same boat, sharing weal and woe, this is probably not something that can be replaced by the relationship between you and the emperor overnight. ”

"Uncle, my relationship with the emperor is sincere." Zhang Yuxia's face was cold, her lips moved, and after opening her mouth several times, she finally spit out words that even she felt pale and powerless.

"My aunt believes and believes in Sister Xia'er's sincerity. But Sister Xia, don't forget, the queen is also a woman, her feelings for the emperor are no less than yours, as soon as you suddenly appear, you are between them all the time, can the queen's heart be balanced? What will happen to her? Queen, she is not a simple woman, in her eyes, there is no abandonment, only destruction. ”

Looking at the cold and unfamiliar face of the county lord, Zhang Yuxia's whole person was like falling into an ice cellar, and she couldn't feel a trace of warmth, "Then what should I do?" Am I going to give up just because of the queen? Your Majesty, he loves me. ”

The county lord smiled coldly, "Sister Xia, I believe in my uncle, if you leave the emperor, he doesn't belong to you." Sister Xia is not deeply involved in the world, and she has never been in contact with other men, as long as others are a little bit good to you, you will feel as if the whole spring has been given to you. That's not what you really want. Your aunt knows the emperor better than you, and he is not the perfect you imagined. ”

The county lord's words pierced Zhang Yuxia's heart like a knife, she struggled in her heart, her thoughts were complicated, but there was no result.

She didn't know anything about how she got back to the house, she only remembered the pain in her heart, and it hurt to the extreme. The laughter of others seems to fall on another world that has nothing to do with her. In the confusion, the gazes cast by others seem to be full of sarcasm and ridicule. She held back her anger and grievances in her heart, but she had no way to vent it.

The county lord is for her good, and the county lord will not be partial. Could it be that she is wrong? What's wrong, is the fault in the acquaintance and love with the emperor? But...... She suddenly felt pathetic, pitiful, and curled up in her little seat like a little beast at a loss.

Around, the mattress is set up with hibiscus, and the prosperity of the splendid blossoms seems to have nothing to do with her. The people who raised their glasses seemed to have forgotten that she was the protagonist of the day, and their flattering eyes converged on the noble queen. The queen shouldn't have come today - at the very least, she had stolen the limelight from her master, and she had some taste of being a strong man.

Zhang Yuxia was sullen and thirsty in a trance, so she picked up the grape wine in front of her and drank it all, bitter and unpalatable, until her tears welled up.

The queen's eyes glanced at everyone, and happened to catch a glimpse of someone borrowing wine to dispel their sorrows, and the queen's face added a little joy.
