Chapter 14 Cardamom Beauty is as green as a willow, and all tenderness is in vain.
Recently, King Yong has been very busy, and when he returns to the mansion every day, he either discusses with the strategists in the study, or dances the sword with the guards in the school field. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info I haven't been back to the backyard for a few days to see the princess, the side concubine and others.
Princess Yong thought about it, picked up the pen, and personally wrote a letter to invite Wei Yan.
Mrs. Wei has not yet been confined after giving birth, and the old lady is the director. After receiving the post, the old lady smiled, ordered someone to call Wei Yan to come, and Haosheng instructed, "...... On the day of the feast, be well-groomed, courteous, and courteous,...... and so on.
Wei Jiang, who was helping her grandmother cut flowers and branches, was secretly careful, and on the day of the banquet, she came to Wei Yan's yard early.
"Second Miss is here?" Hearing the voice of the little girl outside the door, Ruyue hurriedly stepped forward and opened the curtain: "Second Miss......?" ”
When she saw Wei Jiang, she was speechless in surprise.
Wei Jiang, who is low-key and simple on weekdays, is wearing a goose-yellow cardigan with autumn fragrance trim today, a moon-white orchid pattern stand-up collar midshirt inside, and gold and silver two-color thread flowers are embellished on the cuffs and hem. The bottom is a dark green thick forged four-panel skirt embroidered with gold-edged rose pink twigs, wearing a Huasheng inlaid with pink crystal, opal, and gold silk on the head, and four half-arc gilded jasper round hairpins with thin curves behind the temples. Look at her face again: the willow eyebrows have been carefully drawn, and the white pink fat is swept on the face, lining the face white and red, very delicate.
knew that Wei Jiang was good-looking, but he didn't expect to dress up, he was so bewitching and demagoguing!
"Wei Yan." She raised her face and said, "I heard that you are going to the palace for a banquet?" I've never been to that house, so take me with you!" ”
Wei Yan hadn't dressed up yet, leaning on the pillow, lazy, as if he hadn't heard Wei Jiang's words.
Seeing that she didn't answer, Wei Jiang said unhappily: "Forget it!" You always say, let me come to you, talk and play together...... It turned out that it was not sincere! With that, he turned around and wanted to leave.
"Wait......" Wei Yan bit her lip and said in a low voice, "Wei Jiang, it's not me...... If I don't take you there, look at me......"
Wei Jiang stepped forward to take a look at it suspiciously, was taken aback, and shouted loudly: "Wei Yan, what's wrong with you?" Your face ......"
Wei Yan smiled weakly: "Yesterday, I wrote a reply to inform the princess of this matter, and I can't go to the banquet......
"You...... Alas, forget it! Wei Jiang was disappointed, angry in his heart, and said, "Don't disturb your rest." With that, he turned around and walked away.
In vain, she planned for many days, and borrowed a little silver tael that Aunt Cai had accumulated over the years to buy a lot of makeup and accessories...... In vain! It's all in vain!
Ruyue sighed: "Miss, you are so good to the second miss in vain, she is too ......"
was stopped by Wei Yan with his eyes, and he didn't dare to say any more.
Wei Yan is sick.
When the news reached the outer study, Wei Dongkang angrily smashed several cases in front of him: "She did it on purpose!" She did it on purpose! ”
Well, it's okay anywhere, but on one face, there are many red rashes, and I can't see anyone at all. Not to mention, ask her to serve King Yong......
repeatedly mentioned to her that this is why! She has always been willful, and no one looks down on her, that's King Yong! The appointed prince, the future emperor!
Wei Dongkang was furious and shouted outward: "Who is serving outside? Get in! Go, tell the eldest lady that she likes to get sick, so don't come out to see anyone again, lest you pass the illness to others! ”
The weather is getting colder, and winter is coming. The flowers in the yard are all lost, the eyes are full of depression, and the scenery is desolate.
The maid Lilac held a burden in her hand and complained all the way:
"Miss, now those subordinates are becoming more and more bold, the master only said that he is not allowed to make new clothes and jewelry for Miss, and he is not allowed to use fur clothes, but he did not say that he will not make new winter quilts for Miss! The slave maid went to ask, and they swore to heaven that the master was not allowed to indulge the young lady, and could only use the old bedding from last year......"
The bead curtain was lifted, Wei Yan was wearing an old robe, and his hair was still dripping with water, which was scattered behind his ears, and slowly walked out. She smiled bitterly: "Maybe those concubines who have been beaten into the cold palace are like me now." My father wanted me to bow my head, thinking that I must not be able to endure the slightest bitterness...... How could he understand that the most bitter thing is not the shortage of external things, but the pain of inner torment? ”
Ruyue was beside her, took a long scarf and wiped Wei Yan's hair. Her eyes were red, and she was sobbing for a long time, and finally persuaded: "Miss, don't be angry with the master, right?" The lord has always loved you the most, if you are willing to admit your mistake and accept softness, the lord will not forgive you. ”
"Am I wrong?" Wei Yan said lightly, "Is it wrong to cherish your reputation?" ”
The corners of her mouth pulled into a very sarcastic smile, and she said: "What my father asked me to do, what should a person who is a father do?" Even if he forgives me, I won't forgive him! The old bedding, just the old bedding, the same warm and warm through the winter......"
"Miss," Ruyue turned her face away, and couldn't help but shed tears, "The slave really doesn't understand, what's wrong with King Yong?" Why do you ...... So reluctant? ”
King Yong? What an unfamiliar name......
It's been more than a month, and no one has mentioned this person in her ear.
"It's not that he's bad. It's me who is too greedy. "If he openly invites the Holy Lord and marries himself as his wife, even if he can't be the prince and the future son of heaven, she doesn't mind! But he met her too late, he already had a wife, no matter how good he was, he had nothing to do with her!
For the sake of the long-delayed will of the prince, he didn't dare to take the slightest risk of angering Long Yan, while constantly teasing, hoping that she could pour out her sincerity, and on the other hand, he promised that he didn't know when he could fulfill the promise, after all, it was too hypocritical and sneaky!
Princess Yong's last invitation, between the lines, I hope she will "comfort" King Yong...... Her father persuaded and persecuted her in every way that night, and his words were still in his ears, just hoping that she could obediently go to King Yong!
She is unwilling to be a puppet and be at the mercy of others, why should her fate be arranged by others?
King Yong has been frequently going in and out of various mansions for banquets recently, wooing courtiers and appeasing his henchmen, and finally squeezed out such a moment of joy from the seemingly endless busyness.
Suddenly, I heard a person in the seat whisper: "Lord Wei, little sister Fangfei has not seen Ling Qianjin for many days, she misses it very much, she wrote a letter, but there is no reply." Let me ask you, has Miss Wei ever recovered? How are you doing? ”……
In front of Yu Wenrui's eyes, a slightly blurred figure suddenly appeared, graceful and very moving.
After thinking about it, a smile appeared on his face: he had hugged her into his arms and kissed her softly......
It's just that I've been too busy lately, and I haven't seen her for more than a month! The princess invited her to the palace for a banquet in the past, but for some reason, the banquet ended before it started. At that time, the princess did not explain the reason, but now I heard Lu Fangfei's brother say this, it turned out that she was sick......
As he spoke, he raised his eyes and caught the complicated expression on Wei Dongkang's face, who noticed that his eyes were still flashing and he didn't dare to look at him......
He simply bypassed Wei Dongkang and ordered the people around him to go to Wei Mansion to visit directly.
The banquet was still in progress, and King Yong sat on the top and accepted the toast from everyone. The men whom he had sent returned, whispered in his ear...... Yuwen Rui bowed his head, got up, and said with a smile: "This king is not strong enough to drink, so he will leave first!" Everyone, please! Passing by Wei Dongkang's side, he said in a low voice: "Lord Wei, you follow this king." ”
The lights in the courtyard were dim, and there was no one in the courtyard, and the call from inside could be clearly heard: "Ruyue!" Like the moon! ”
Ruyue panted and rushed in: "Miss, Miss, do you want hot water?" The water is still boiling, the lilacs are carrying the water, and the slaves are looking after the stove that is boiling the water...... I didn't care about the ...... of the young lady."
Wei Yan had already bathed and got up on his own. She stood in front of the cabinet, turned her head, and said softly, "I'm sorry for you! It's going to do the menial work. Father transferred the people in the small kitchen, and the little girl in the yard, everything only depends on you and Lilac! ”
Ruyue said with a smile: "Miss, the slave is not afraid of hardship, as long as the young lady thinks it is worth it, the slave will never complain." ”
Wei Yan spread his hands and smiled: "I don't care if I don't have anyone around me, I just can't do without you, you see, I can't even find my own clothes......"
Ruyue smiled: "Miss, which one do you want to wear?" The slave and maid came to find it. As he spoke, he suddenly realized that Wei Yan was standing barefoot on the ground, and couldn't help exclaiming, "Miss, how can you be so uncaring for yourself?" What weather is it now? You are not in good shape, standing barefoot on the cold ground, how can this work? Quick, slave help you to bed first! ”
Wei Yan was helped to the bed by Ruyue, wrapped tightly in the quilt, she looked at Ruyue, and said with a smile: "Ruyue, my father still treats me too well, and he actually leaves the most intimate you by my side." As long as you're here, I'll get through it. ”
Life has not been easy lately, and there are only three of them in the whole courtyard, which is deserted. Everything fell on Ruyue and Lilac, carrying water and chopping wood, the two delicate little girls grinded their hands full of calluses, and Ruyue had not yet shouted bitterly. At this time, when I heard Wei Yan say this, she almost had a sour nose and burst into tears: "Miss, Ruyue will be by your side and accompany you until you are old." The slave doesn't give in to herself, the slave only feels sorry for you, Miss! The old man is too ruthless, and if the young lady is a little disobedient, she will reduce her clothes and food, which is so difficult. Miss, you're his own daughter! The slave maid couldn't understand that the old man loved the young lady so much in the past, and took care of it as a pearl in his palm. Why do you say that if you change your face, you will change your face? The young lady lives such a life and is known by others, does the master look very good-looking? ”
Wei Yan just smiled: "Do you think my father treated me well in the past?" It's just that I have no intention of restraining it, and I ask Mr. to teach me how to play the piano, also for the sake of ...... Alas! I don't want to think about that anymore. Now my life is not bad, although it can't be compared with before, but it is much better than Wei Jiang's situation. Wei Jiang and Aunt Cai, for a long time, there has been a shortage of food and clothing, and they can't even use a better smokeless charcoal in winter...... Don't blame Wei Jiang for being hostile to me, what kind of life did I live in the past, and what kind of life did Wei Jiang live? Living in the same Wei Mansion, the world is different, she has a grudge in her heart, and she doesn't want to accept the pity of others, no matter how bad she is to me, I won't blame her......"
Ruyue sighed: "Miss, are you okay to wear that lake green soft satin bedgown?" The lady has a white complexion, and she looks best in bright colors! ”
"Ruyue, I want to go out for a walk, you can help me turn out that lotus-colored old silk jacket!"
"It's so late, your hair hasn't dried yet, what are you going out for? Don't catch the wind and get cold! "Besides, the master also ordered that you should be grounded in the courtyard and not allowed to go out......
Wei Yan smiled: "It's not in the way, you put the big piece you changed overnight for me, and it won't catch a cold." I'll stand in the yard for a while......"
Ruyue couldn't, so she had to serve the guard goose to dress and comb her hair.
Walking out of the door, the cold wind blew through, and there was nothing to admire.
The forest path in front of the courtyard leads to the garden, and you can see the corner of the corridor pavilion in the distance, which has the momentum of wings.
I haven't gone out for a few days, and I occasionally come out to breathe, and the boredom in my heart is completely gone. The gate of the courtyard was unguarded, and along the path, slowly walked towards the pavilion.
Two figures passed by the wide road in front of her, not noticing her.
A familiar voice came: "Ying'er, you say, he won't be gone, right?" ”
"No, no, the slave's brother is serving in the outer court, and as soon as he sees him coming, he immediately informs us ......"
Wei Yan paused, puzzled. Who is "he"? Whoever comes from the outer court must be a man......
