"Princess, the princess wants to see you. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info "Aome walked in.
During this time, the palace has changed too much inside and outside, and there are many things to deal with, and Qingmei has returned to Su Yingtong, the main courtyard.
Su Yingtong reacted for a long time, she couldn't sleep peacefully for an unknown amount of time, and her eyes were no longer bright.
She sat down in front of the dresser, "Bai Qing, help me put on some carmine." ”
Bai Qing felt sad in her heart, the princess has always used light makeup and rarely uses rouge, and she never likes to use these things, but she has not rested well in the past few days and her spirit is poor, and now she actually opens her mouth to put on powder.
The princess is holding on alone, and it is too hard.
Bai Qing didn't say much, she helped the princess comb her hair, and painted light makeup, so that the princess gently pursed her lips and said, "The princess looks much more energetic like this." ”
Qingmei said beside her: "If the princess can't sleep at night, let the slave maid serve at the bedside?" The princess never let the maid stay in the house for the night, because she was afraid that the princess would think too much alone.
Su Yingtong shook his head: "No need, let's go over." ”
Qingmei helped the princess to stand up, Su Yingtong originally looked lifeless, and when she got out of the door of the house, she straightened her back, her eyes were as bright as glass, and she walked on the road dignified to accept the greetings from her subordinates.
Qingmei followed behind the princess, her eyes were indifferently calm, and she didn't see a trace of anxiety.
Whatever is good in the house, you must be in the best state outside, this is what the princess said.
When the two arrived at Qingqiu Garden, Chang's mother was already waiting at the door, and when she saw Su Yingtong, she greeted her, "Princess." ”
"Mother Chang, how is Mother?"
"After listening to some gossip, I didn't sleep well for two nights, so I lit the lamp and got up in the middle of the night to recite scriptures for the prince in the Buddhist hall to keep him safe." Mother Chang frowned when she said these words, and it could be seen that on the one hand, she was worried about the concubine, and on the other hand, she also believed the gossip.
That's why I'm so uneasy.
Su Yingtong patted Chang's mother's hand, "Chang's mother, my mother is concerned about the chaos before believing the gossip outside, you should be more enlightened when you are by your mother's side, how can you be so worried, my mother is even more worried when she sees you like this." ”
Chang's mother thinks about it, "But ......"
"Who said that the prince is in trouble, I only received the news that the guards brought back from Xishan last night...... Forget it, let's go into the house, my mother should be in a hurry. ”
Mother Chang woke up, "Yes, yes, I see that the old slave is old and confused, and I want the princess to stand here and talk." "Hurriedly led the princess into the house.
Su Yingtong entered the hall and saw that the princess was sitting on a chair in the hall, her face was much older, and the ruddy on her face had faded, revealing dry lines. She felt a little pain in her heart: "Mother." ”
The princess stood up suddenly: "Ying Tong, mother had a nightmare last night......"
Su Yingtong's heart was tight, her heart was already very blocked, and besides, mother and son were connected...... She couldn't think too much, and stepped forward to help the princess sit down: "Mother, the people outside are talking nonsense about their business, we just need to know what it is, and we have to be more serious with them." ”
The princess sat on the chair, her eyes were not focused, her hand was tightly grasping Su Yingtong's hand, but she didn't speak.
Su Yingtong said: "Last night, there was news that the guards brought back to Xishan, the prince was very good in Xishan, but he saw that those bandits were also desperate to become thieves, so he wanted to leave them a chance, so as not to kill them all, where is to let those bandits take the limelight...... The people next to me don't understand the gossip, after so many people's mouths to Kyoto I don't know what has become, we can't care about others, but how can we not have confidence in the prince, if we can't stand up in front of the rumors, wouldn't it be a joke for the people next to us, the prince is working hard in the West Mountain, we can't help, but we must not drag the prince back, when the prince returns to Kyoto, everything will naturally dissipate, but also let the prince see, even if he is not in Kyoto, the house will not be messed up, so that he can rest assured that he can work hard outside, Mother said so? ”
The princess gradually listened to Su Yingtong's words, her hand slowly loosened, and her eyes gradually focused on Su Yingtong's face: "Yingtong, you are right." After that, he sighed again: "Mother can't help me with anything, I have to worry about you, Ying Tong, I've worked hard for you." ”
"Mother said that these Ying Tong is not happy, as the head of the house, it is inevitable to take care of the palace, as a daughter-in-law, Ying Tong should also be filial piety in front of his mother, the prince went to Xishan before a thousand instructions, so that Ying Tong should come to see his mother from time to time, I am afraid that my mother will think too much and affect her body."
The princess nodded again and again: "You are all sensible." Hearing that Xiangyuan cared about her so much, the princess began to smile on her face.
Su Yingtong was relieved, and chatted with the princess for a while before leaving: "I asked Ying Lan to come over and sit with her mother when she is free." ”
"Staying with an old woman like me all day, I'm afraid she'll be annoyed." Speaking of that happy little girl, the princess couldn't stop laughing.
"Where, Ying Lan is also afraid that she will quarrel with her mother to rest."
Out of Qingqiu Garden, Su Yingtong said to Chang's mother: "Mom also heard what I just said, and the people in this yard will trouble Mom to say a few more words, and chew the root of her tongue in front of Mom in the future, which will be punished." Although she is the head of the house, she will never interfere in the affairs of Qingqiu Garden.
This is also a place for mothers.
"Don't worry, princess, the old slave understands." Mom blushed as she spoke, thinking about her age, she didn't say that the wind was the rain like those girls, and she didn't even have this judgment.
Su Yingtong returned to the main courtyard with confidence.
Xing'er sent an invitation card in: "Princess, the Anguo Mansion sent someone to send an invitation." "In the past, although the princess rarely participated in those flower-viewing parties and the like, but every time there were many posts sent to the house, although I knew that the princess would not be moved, but I also had to do my best to feel steady, but during this time, the gate of the palace was much colder, and this post of the Anguo Mansion was the first.
Xing'er couldn't help but think in her heart that the Anguo Mansion knew the importance and would not snub the palace when the prince had a little gossip, where was it like those small families who kept gossiping.
In this way, it is called a family style.
"An invitation from the Anguo Mansion?" Qingmei took it curiously, I heard that the Queen Mother fainted in the days when the Duchess of Anguo was also bedridden for a few days, and the Duchess of Anguo was also lifeless, and it was not long before the wedding banquet was held, and even the palace sent an invitation. "Princess."
Su Yingtong rubbed his temples: "Look at it." (To be continued.) )
