Chapter 16: The First Journey into the Palace (3)
Although she has lived in the Old Summer Palace for a few days, but the night owl's tears have not been able to adapt to getting up early, early in the morning, she stood at the door of the bamboo courtyard, did not wake up and rubbed her eyes, and complained vigorously, the ancient people did not have any nightlife, but there is no need to get up before dawn, she was so sleepy that she yawned a few times......
"Say hello to Gege."
Raising her sleepy eyes, she saw Fu Heng wearing a silver and white cloud brocade guard robe, and his handsome face, which was usually cold, was slightly raised at this time, and with a hint of a well-hidden smile in his eyes, he looked at her.
Zero Tears stared at him obsessively, nodding his head involuntarily, saying that beauty is like a flower, and he is a white plum in the snow with cold and frost.
"Gege", seeing that she seemed to be distracted, he coughed lightly.
She couldn't help but approach her with a smile on her face, and her voice was clear, "Guard Fu, why do you have time to come to me?" ”
"The emperor ordered me to escort Gege to ......" was deeply watched by her, he felt quite uncomfortable, lowered his head slightly, and continued, "Lord Chen is waiting for you at the inn." ”
"Okay, let's go", she suddenly felt in a good mood, and jumped out of the door of the bamboo courtyard with a few small steps.
…………
"Aren't you a royal guard? Why do I go to the emperor every day to say goodbye and I don't see you? You don't look very old, why are you such a big official? You have good martial arts, when will we find a chance to learn from each other? You ......" all the way to the gate of the palace, she was like a gossip reporter around him and kept asking, he was accustomed to her chatter, and while answering her briefly, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.
Outside the gate of the palace, the carriage has long been waiting there. After Fu Heng helped her into the car, he snatched the reins from the coachman's hand, "I'll catch up, you go back." The coachman was stunned and stepped aside, when had he seen the imperial guard driving the car in person. Zero Tears didn't want to stay in the car by herself, so she sat on the wheel and continued to chat with him. Although, most of them are in charge of speaking, and he is responsible for listening, but all the way down, no one feels annoyed.
In this strange world, he seems to be the only person who reassures Zero Tears, and after a short time together, she finds that he has no profit calculations, nor does he approach her with bad intentions, let alone play some intrigue with her, he just takes care of her thoroughly, and has no other thoughts. Because of this, she is willing to be close to him, whether it is laughing and scolding, provocative quarrels, even if he does not respond, she feels that she is not alone.
She glanced at him, hesitated for a moment, and decided to tell him, "On the first day I lived in the garden, something happened to me......"
Fu Heng turned his head to look at her, and saw the solemn expression on her face, so he faintly guessed what was going on, she had a special identity, she was too dazzling in the royal family, and she was straightforward by nature, and she didn't know how to be false and wronged with others, and she would inevitably encounter trouble in the future, so she couldn't help but euphemistically, "Actually, you are Gege now, you can ask the emperor for an order and send a few guards to guard the bamboo courtyard." ”
She glanced at him again, of course she understood his words, couldn't help but smile, and asked knowingly, "Even if I send guards, I don't know anything, in case they are bribed and slash my neck at night while I am asleep, won't I lure the wolf into the house." ”
He must be so straightforward, he lowered his head in embarrassment, "I can be your bodyguard......"
Zero Tears finally couldn't help but laugh out loud, in vain he was a dignified seven-foot man, he didn't expect his face to be so thin. She unceremoniously pinched his angular cheeks, causing him to blush and immediately press his head lower. Seeing that he was so shy and cute, she leaned on him with a crooked smile, grabbed his arm, and rubbed her shoulder like a cat, "That's it." You are really righteous, I have to praise you in front of the emperor. ”
He didn't help her to invite the emperor to reward, he pushed away her head that was close at hand with a little displeasure, and said in a muffled voice, "You are also a character, so unruly, be careful of being seen gossiping." ”
actually put a stinky face on her again, she glanced at him fiercely, and when he became her own minion, she saw how she repaired him well, and we'd see......
The carriage slowly came to the post house, and Chen Bingyi's family had already packed up and was waiting for her at the front door. Zero tears jumped out of the carriage nimbly, and before her feet touched the ground, a sticky "plaster" was pasted, and the thick fat powder was so fragrant that she sneezed several times.
"Sister, I'm leaving, Yao'er will miss you very much, is my sister reluctant to Yao'er!"
"Yes, yes", zero tears pouted, this girl's pestering kung fu is really increasing day by day, "You have to take my knees for me in the future", and pushed her away in disgust - don't pester me, pester your parents!
"You will go home sooner or later", Chen Bingzhi walked over and patted her shoulder gently, which was quite meaningful.
Hey! She was slightly stunned, looking at him in a daze, why did she suddenly feel that he was unfathomable, "Chen ...... Father had a good trip. ”
Chen Bingzhi nodded, and after saying goodbye to Fu Heng, he went out first, and asked them to say goodbye, and Fu Heng followed out with interest.
There were no outsiders, so Mrs. Chen took her hand, walked to a secluded place, and whispered, "Life in the palace is not easy, you have to be careful in everything." Although the emperor will definitely favor you, you can't be arrogant......"
"I know", she was lazy, and on the first day she entered the palace, she knew that this fire kang was not easy to dance.
"And ......," Mrs. Chen hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Concubine Xi should be very good to you, but you should not be too close to her, after all, she is only your stepmother, and her own siblings will not care about the affection of your relatives, let alone your relationship." ”
"Oh", she snorted absentmindedly, as if she wasn't listening to Mrs. Chen's nagging. Anyway, no matter what Mrs. Chen said, she was hiding some secrets, and it was useless for her to ask, so she simply agreed, "Don't worry, I don't have any other skills with zero tears, and what I am best at is to protect my life." ”
When Mrs. Chen heard her say this, she smiled slightly, "Your temperament is very similar to when I was young. ”
"Yes", she touched her nose and hid her suspicions, this woman gave her the impression that she was cold and indifferent, she must have been a difficult iceberg beauty when she was young, and she couldn't help but wonder how Chen Bingzhi married her?
"Sister", Wan Yao took her hand and dragged her aside to whisper to her, "That...... That ......"
"Which one?" Zero Tears glared at her impatiently.
"That's ......," Wan Yao said in a hesitant voice, "Sister, stop bullying the third elder brother like last time......"
Zero tears almost didn't choke on their own saliva, and they were reluctant to cry and wipe their tears, it turned out to be all foreplay, but the point is actually here. She hesitated whether she should fulfill the girl's heart of Sichun and replace her out of the sea of suffering?
Wan Yao glanced at her, her voice was almost inaudible, "Sister, don't get me wrong, I just think that the third elder brother is not so bad, and my sister should get along with him." ”
Not so bad? Zero tears are angry and funny, one side of the relationship, I was so fascinated that I began to turn my elbow outward, if I really have a relationship with the third brother in the future, wouldn't this little girl not recognize her six relatives! But on second thought, it seems that Hiroshi has no good end. As an older sister, it seems that it is necessary to remind her, otherwise it will be pitiful to become a widow in the future.
"The third elder brother and I are well water and don't interfere with river water, he doesn't provoke me, I will definitely be polite to him", she knocked on Wanyao's head with a smile.
Seeing that she agreed, Wan Yao let go of her hand and returned to Mrs. Chen with a shyness on the corner of her mouth.
Seeing the little girl in her mother's arms with a childish smile on her face, Zero Tears felt that it was better not to worry too early, maybe the girls of this year are full of flowers, and they will empathize and say goodbye in two days.
Chen Bingzhi sent someone in to urge her to leave, and Mrs. Chen told her a few words uneasily, in short, it was a meaning, let her stay quiet and never be strong in everything...... It's not over, zero tears pouting, do you have to let her be a turtle with a shrunken head, this "mother" is willing to feel at ease!
Finally sent them to the carriage, Zero Tears stood at the door and breathed a long sigh of relief, Fu Heng watched it for a long time, he really couldn't understand this family, saying that it was a send-off, why didn't he feel sad about parting at all. It wasn't until the carriage was getting away that he came over with rare curiosity, "You don't have a good relationship with your parents, right?" ”
"What do you mean?" Her voice was dry.
He observed whether the expression on her face had changed, and spoke again, "It seems that Miss Chen Er is closer to her parents. ”
She sighed deeply, full of tiredness, "You should understand, young children have always been favored. Aren't you the youngest in your family? ”
Is that so? Fu Heng was silent for a while, and after humming softly, he said, "But you are more blessed than Miss Chen, and you still have the love of the emperor and Concubine Xi." ”
She sneered secretly, she was willing to give away such a blessing for free, alas, the matter has come to this, she can only dutifully play her "Miss Chen".
The autumn breeze blew, she shrunk her shoulders, swept the street with half-squinted eyes, the morning market had risen, and the noisy clamor temporarily made her forget the confusion of the future, she smiled and turned back to him and said, "I entered the Old Summer Palace directly after entering Beijing, and I haven't visited Beijing yet." Let's not go back yet, you can take me to play. ”
"Okay", he nodded without hesitation, and said with a light smile, "I'll take you to eat the most famous bean curd here." ”
"So what are you waiting for", she eagerly dragged him forward.
