Chapter 7 Whispering in the Room
() (Ask for recommendation, ask for collection, the encouragement of the officials is the motivation of Meow Jun's more text, thank you.) )
Su promised to close her eyes, and all kinds of past events came to her mind, touching the depths of her memory.
The faint sandalwood fragrance is full of beside him, the hollow carved window is fleckled with fine sunlight, under him is a soft wooden bed, the carved decoration is extremely exquisite, the body is a brocade quilt, turned sideways, a chic women's boudoir comes into view, the guqin stands in the corner, the bronze mirror is placed on the wooden dresser, and the room is so fresh and leisurely. It was her maiden boudoir where she had lived for nearly 18 years.
In the courtyard full of flowers, there is a small mahogany table neatly placed, her father taught her to read and write, read all the mountains and rivers in the book, and her mother taught her to play the piano and learn how to be a virtuous woman, which was the happiest time she lived in her youth.
If time could freeze, she hoped that she would always be the girl under the age of eighteen, staying in the boudoir, looking forward to the future.
I have never entered the palace, and I have never experienced all kinds of misfortunes afterward.
Su promised, whose real name is Su Jue, is the daughter of Su Wenxian, the prefect of Chizhou, the Su family is a scholarly family, and there is no one among the descendants who does not understand literature and ink, whether it is a man or a woman, they are all people who have read books and understand things.
As the eldest daughter in the family, Su promised to be raised by a good student since she was a child, and she did not fall behind in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.
However, Su's father did not intend to marry his daughter to a local mediocre person, in his opinion, only the princes and ministers in high positions were the first choice for good sons-in-law, and the most unfortunate thing was that they had to be the children of a famous family in the capital to be worthy of their daughters.
Of course, if you can enter the palace and marry the Son of Heaven, it is naturally the best.
In order to smooth his career, Su Wenxian colluded with the emperor's uncle Long Keduo, an important minister in the court, and also took this opportunity to send Su to the harem.
Su promised to know that this arrangement was not for her future happiness and glory at all, and her father and Master Long Keduo wanted her to gain a foothold in the palace and use the emperor's favor to boost their power in the previous dynasty. sacrificing her lifelong happiness in exchange for a door full of glory and political weapons, this deal is really not a loss.
Su promised not to be drafted, and became the last concubine because of Long Keduo's strong recommendation, but people are not as good as heaven, even if they have a little more harem power, Long Keduo still can't recover the decline, and the accumulated crimes of forming a party for personal gain and taking bribes for many years have been investigated, and he has completely lost his power.
The Su family was also implicated in the Long Keduo case, and Su's parents and brothers were sent to the bitter cold land of the frontier, and they traveled a long way, and Su Wenxian, who had already received a heavy sentence, could not survive and died on the road. And Mrs. Su was also overly sad, and died within a few days.
At that time, Su promised to enter the palace for only ten days, and after hearing such sad news, he couldn't stand the blow and fainted for a while, and since then he has fallen ill, always looking sick, and his physical condition is getting worse and worse.
Even with the careful care of the cuttlefish, Su's condition always does not improve, and I don't know if it is a heart disease or a stubborn disease.
Su promised to often think that if she was just married to an ordinary son, or committed to a talented and incompetent little person, would her situation be better than now? At the very least, you can cry for your deceased parents regardless of the ground, and there will always be some comfort.
"Master, you're alright."
I don't know when, the cuttlefish has entered the house, and when she saw Su Yu's face stained with tears, she knew that the master must have remembered the past again, his parents died, and his brother had no news, so it was difficult for anyone to let go.
Su agreed, wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and asked, "Xiaochuan came just now?" The two of you have been talking for a long time, maybe there is something important. ”
The cuttlefish shook his head and put the basket box in his hand on the table, the delicate appearance of the box matched the delicacies inside, it was worthy of being an object used in the Zhong Cui Palace, it was indeed good.
The cuttlefish didn't want Su to be frightened, so he didn't say the point of Xiaochuan's visit this time, but only replied, "What can he do, it's just a break time to bring us some food." Yo, master, you see, there is also your favorite sugar steamed cheese. ”
In addition to a few side dishes, there is also a large plate of Sixi dumplings in the basket box, which is the cuttlefish's favorite pasta, and it is impossible to eat such good food in Changchun Palace on weekdays, so whenever he has the opportunity, Gu Xiaochuan will send some over, which can be regarded as well-intentioned.
Su promised to know the cuttlefish's thoughts, "Even if the sky falls, we have to carry it together, you don't have to hide anything from me, hurry up and tell me all the important things, and I can come up with an idea." ”
"The sky is falling? Master, don't be too exaggerated, how can you be so strict. The cuttlefish stood at the table, holding the rice bowl and smiling back.
"Cuttlefish, I've already heard part of what you and Xiao Chuan just said, so don't hide it anymore."
Hearing Su promise to say this, the cuttlefish put away the casual smile on his face and replaced it with a depressed and sad face, "Master, there are enough troubles in the past few days, don't worry about being offended, after all, nothing bad has happened until now, maybe nothing big will happen in the future." ”
The cuttlefish took a sip of white water, moistened his throat, and continued, "The slave doesn't dare to hide the truth from you, it's really not a big deal, it's just that Xiao Chuan accidentally heard some gossip in Zhong Cui Palace, and suspected that Gu Changzai should be eyeing us, she seems to have been haunted by what happened at the Spring Banquet, and she is afraid that she will embarrass us in the future." However, this is just speculation, and you should not take it too seriously. ”
The cuttlefish tried to say it lightly as much as possible, but in fact, even without Gu Xiaochuan's reminder, she expected that there would be such a hurdle, and she was already mentally prepared.
After thinking about this matter for a while, Su promised to have some thoughts in his heart, and said in a low voice, "That Gu Changzai can be promoted by the emperor, and he should be regarded as a wise person, at the Spring Banquet, she made a fuss because of your identity, presumably she will not rashly testify against you in front of the emperor again." If she really wants to take revenge, I'm just afraid that she will make a trick and harm you quietly. ”
The cuttlefish was suddenly startled, as the saying goes, the open gun is easy to block and the dark arrow is difficult to prevent, with the ability that she and Su promised, even the open gun can't dodge, how can it still prevent the dark arrow? If the master's words are really fulfilled, then their good life will be completely over.
"Xiao Chuan said that Gu Changzai is a ruthless person and has done a lot of ruthless things, but master, you should relax first, don't be too anxious, I have asked Xiao Chuan to pay more attention to Gu Chang over there for me, if she wants to have anything abnormal, we can at least have a preparation first."
