Chapter 18: The Walls Have Ears
Qing Yang stepped forward and said cautiously: "Madam, the city lord he, the city lord said to let you go back to the house immediately." ”
I stood in front of the window and looked out. This is one of the most prosperous streets in the capital, yesterday there was a mournful shock, and today it is already full of traffic.
Day by day, life always moves forward.
I said goodbye to Qingqing as I said and got into the carriage with Qingyang. Qingyang looked relieved, and before leaving, he happily said goodbye to Qingqing, promising to bring Qingqing's father the best wine in the capital back when someone in the house went home.
When I entered the door, I saw Zhou Sinian sitting by the window reading a book, still dressed in white and with black hair, half of his body was dyed golden by the sun, and the whole person looked radiant.
"Don't you have any business to do today?" I walked over and sat down on my knees beside him.
"Yes, I can come back." Zhou Sinian's face was full of anger, and his eyes were fixed on the book in his hand.
"Brother Nian, I was so sad yesterday."
"I know, that's why I took a leave, but what happened to you? I won't come home all night! After Zhou Sinian finished speaking angrily, he raised his hand again, I knew that he was going to hit me on the head again, so he hurriedly hugged his head.
His hand dropped slightly, stroking my hand holding my head, and sighed.
"Still don't want to be with me?" He asked in frustration.
His words struck me as strange, and I shook my head, leaned on his lap, and said, "No." ”
His hand kept stroking my hair, so warm. "Brother Nian, I love you so much." I closed my eyes and whispered.
He leaned down, buried his face in my hair, and whispered in a very low, barely audible voice, "Shenglan, I love you." ”
I said, "Brother Nian, if one day, I am old and ugly, will you dislike me?" ”
"I'll be old and ugly."
I sighed in my heart, what does it matter if you are old and ugly.
Qingqing said that she didn't want to get married.
"If you are a child, you should take it seriously."
"She said that it is nothing good for a man to have three wives and four concubines, so it is better to rely on himself."
Zhou Sinian straightened up and said helplessly: "Can you not mention this in the future?" How many years have I not seen them? Why are you so unrelenting? ”
"You haven't seen them for so many years, and let them guard the empty house until the end of the day?" I straightened up and said.
"So what do you say?"
"If you don't like them, give them freedom so that they can find someone who likes them again!"
"Smack!" Zhou Sinian slammed the scroll in his hand on the table next to him, and said angrily: "Enough! ”
"You princess, royal nobles, why do you not know the importance so much?"
He always spoke in a low voice, so that he suppressed his anger and appeared hoarse.
I was taken aback by him, and I didn't understand why this was "ignorant of the severity".
Yesterday at the Qingqing Dance Club, I heard a few girls talk about today's events, and it is very common to remarry like this or something.
And all kinds of social salons for celebrities and nobles are not lively.
That's why I proposed to let a few aunts in the family remarry someone else, but I didn't expect him to be so angry.
I said, "What I mean is that if a few aunts want to leave, let them remarry, and a woman's lifelong happiness cannot be wasted like this." Besides, it's not something to be seen about, isn't it very common now? ”
"Now the folk atmosphere is not right, and the emperor is about to rectify it," Zhou Sinian reinstated his normal voice: "Restore the ethical norm and correct arrogance and absurdity." So, now I can't do what you say. ”
After a pause, he said, "Don't go to the dance club in the future, it's about to open." Qingqing, that girl, has not been disciplined by her mother since she was a child, frivolous Meng Lang, you don't get too close to her, so as not to be truthful. ”
"It's your business that you don't like Qingqing, I like her." I said dissatisfiedly, "I don't think she is frivolous Meng Lang." ”
Zhou Sinian frowned, shook his head helplessly, and said, "The person you like is so strange." ”
"Where do I still like anyone, anyway, I have to go to see Qingqing again in the future."
He reluctantly agreed, saying, "It's okay to meet, but you can't go to the dance club, it's not appropriate for you to go there." ”
I was silent, but I agreed with him.
He then said: "In a few days, it is the death day of the Empress Dowager Duanci, and Zhang Ronghua took the wife to copy it?" Female commandment? And? Filial piety, dedicated to the Queen Mother, and then distributed to the people, in order to correct the folk atmosphere. The emperor ordered you to copy? Female commandment? A hundred copies, these days, you can copy it at home. ”
When I heard this, I hurriedly distinguished, "I'm not an inner wife now."
Zhou Sinian said: "This is the emperor's will. Then he stretched out his hand and nodded my head: "Don't be lazy, your clerical palace is everywhere, find someone to write on your behalf, beware of the crime of bullying the king." ”
I'm thinking about finding someone in the maid to copy it neatly for me, but I can't do it now.
"Why did you ask me to copy it? Female commandment?? I copied? Filial piety? Okay? I asked in a whisper, I always felt that Li Chaozong asked me to copy? Female commandment?, a bit of sarcasm in it.
"No, whatever the emperor asks you to copy, you can copy. At the end, put your name on it and put it on your seal, which is to be distributed to the people. ”
Speaking of this, Zhou Sinian said with a smile: "Your Majesty is going to use you to make a table for women in the world." ”
I said, "Why me?" Wouldn't Zhang Ronghua be more suitable? ”
Zhou Sinian said: "Don't talk about things in the palace." ”
I don't think so: "I'm just talking to you at home, and I won't talk nonsense when I go out." ”
Zhou Sinian said lightly: "The emperor still has an edict for you, warning you that you are jealous, but you have committed seven mistakes." ”
I was shocked and angry: "How can you tell the emperor about our private matter!" ”
Zhou Sinian said: "How can I say these things. ”
"What do you mean?" I asked.
He didn't answer, but pointed out the window and whispered, "The wall has ears." ”
I suddenly understood, stood up in horror and looked out the window, the flowers were luxuriant outside, the breeze was blowing, the trees and flowers were trembling slightly, and the sun was shining on the ground, it was quiet and peaceful.
But now, it seems that there is some unknown danger lurking.
