Chapter 127: Lost
Sui'er didn't dare to sleep, so she sat in the cubicle and waited. Su Lan'er looked at her bored, and said: "Noble lady, it's time to get up, why don't you sleep for a while, the emperor is here, and the slave will call you!" ”
"No need!" Sui'er smiled. Zhang Mu looked around, and saw a faint sandalwood fragrance in the incense ding next to him, and the hollow carved partition was full of small objects, and the delicate carved decoration was extraordinary. Next to the couch is the window, pasted with green gauze, which looks miserable under the light. The large and long tassel curtain was dragged to the ground, embroidered with intricate patterns, and the shadows of the people in the house were reflected in the rhombic bronze mirror not far away, and he was dressed in red, which was as beautiful as an illusion.
She smiled wryly, illusory, this is what she looks like. Are you real? Or is it true in the emperor's heart? She remembered that her mother had told her about the days when she had counted more omissions, and she thought it was unreal, but now she realized that it was not only true, but also terrifyingly real.
Zhao Yu was tired of standing, sat down beside her, and while helping her beat the sour numb on her shoulder, he whispered, "Is the emperor still here?" Do you want someone to ask? ”
Sui'er shook her head: "If he comes, he will come, if he doesn't come, what's the use of asking?" ”
Su Lan'er said: "Niangniang, why don't I let Sun Jue inquire and see when the emperor's approval will come?" ”
Zhao Yu said: "I think this idea works, it's better than us sitting here and waiting!" ”
Sui'er had to nod and said, "Okay, you ask him to ask, it's just that it's so late, Manager Sun should also sleep!" ”
Su Lan'er said with a smile: "Niangniang, if the emperor doesn't come, not only Niangniang and others, but we also have to wait, he must be more anxious than us!" Wait, mother. I'll go talk to him. ”
Sui'er nodded, looking at the light. I don't know how long it took, Zhao Yu had already begun to doze off, but he heard a sound of footsteps. Sun Jue and Su Lan'er walked in one after the other, and Shi Li said: "Niangniang, the queen suddenly has a heartache tonight, and the emperor has gone to the queen's palace." Even. I'm afraid I won't be able to come. ”
Sui'er smiled and said, "Did the emperor say it himself?" ”
"This, no, it was said by the slave who listened to Che Qing who was guarding the door. He has been following the emperor for more than ten years, so he may know the situation. Sun Jue glanced at Deng Sui and saw that she was thoughtful, but there was no disappointment as she imagined. Or sadness.
"I see, go down. Those who stayed overnight slept peacefully. Sui'er commanded.
"Whoa!" Sun Jue and Su Lan'er agreed and withdrew.
Zhao Yu stretched his waist, yawned and said, "Miss." I'll just say, I'm afraid the emperor won't be able to come, I'll make a bed for you. Go to bed early! ”
Sui'er let out an "um", but didn't move. Still staring at the candlelight. Zhao Yu entered the apse and made the bed and came out, but saw that Deng Sui was already sitting at the table reading. He was stunned for a moment and said, "Miss, it's the third watch, don't you sleep?" Rest early, do you still want to read? ”
Sui'er raised her head, her eyes were as calm as ever, and her calm voice couldn't tell what she was thinking, "I'm not sleepy yet, you can sleep first!" ”
Zhao Yu walked over and snatched her book and said, "Miss, you have to study in the house, and you have to study for filial piety, but now that you have entered the palace, you still have to study, can't you finish reading this book?" Go to bed early, it's better if the emperor who doesn't talk doesn't count doesn't come, so you don't have to toss people. ”
Sui'er smiled, took another book to read, and ignored her. Zhao Yu had no choice but to pout and yawn, "Then look, I'll go to sleep." ”
Zhao Yu also left, leaving Sui'er alone to read under the lamp, she took the "Book of Changes", although she has read it many times, she is still used to looking at the book, savoring the deep meaning in the book.
She wasn't really going to read tonight, she was waiting for the final result. This was her first night in the palace, and the emperor did not allow her to go home to say goodbye to her relatives, leaving her alone in the palace and letting her wait for him. Then she'll just wait. Although she knows that it is so difficult to ask for a true heart in the palace, she still has to give it a try, maybe she will be disappointed, she will be disappointed, and she will let herself die, but it is an inevitable result, and she has to wait for that result. If it was really as she thought, the emperor really stayed in the queen's palace, so why not treat him sincerely in this life, even if he was a high king.
The night seemed cold, she walked to the door, the stars in the sky blinked, twinkling and twinkling as if to accompany her coldness. She looked at her red dress and looked so sarcastic.
She didn't ask the king to come to her, but it was a promise he made to her, a promise to keep her in the deep palace. She felt very tired, very tired, this huge palace city, it seemed to be a huge cage, locking her body and heart.
A sad smile crossed the corner of his lips, and it was almost clear that he would not come. She staggered back indoors, slowly taking off her red dress, leaving only a thin skirt, which described her graceful figure as unusually beautiful like a picture. I folded it carefully and put it on the couch, this shirt doesn't belong to her, so let her be here.
Since then, her heart has been cold, and there will be no warmth again. It seemed that it had been a long, long time since she was embraced by him and looked at her warmly. The king's promise is nothing. She closed her eyes, her long eyelashes fluttering a few times, tears rushing into her sockets but not falling. She turned resolutely and walked towards the apse.
In the haze, it seemed to be in someone's arms, although it was cold and cold, but it was very comfortable, and she couldn't help but snuggle up in that arms again, and after a while, the warmth came back, and she fell asleep with a smile on the corner of her mouth.
When I opened my eyes, I saw that the sky was already bright, and the heavy curtains did not shield the sun, and illuminated the room. Sui'er stretched her waist, suddenly saw that her pillow was messy, and secretly explained why she slept so badly. After getting off the bed, putting on her shoes, and walking out, she saw that Yu'er was taking a basin of water into the room, and when she saw her, she smiled slightly and said, "Niangniang got up so early, I thought you were going to sleep until noon!" ”
"Where would I sleep so long?" Suddenly, he saw Yu'er smiling strangely, so he asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Yu'er glanced at the bed, and then asked in a low voice, "Did you do what Jiu Gu said last night?" ”
"What?" Sui'er blushed, "What nonsense are you talking about, the emperor didn't come, what should I do myself?" As he spoke, he washed his face.
"Miss, you don't know, do you? The emperor walked out of your inner chamber in the morning, and everyone in the palace knew that you had been favored last night. Zhao Yu's eyes widened, and he looked at the noble lady with a shocked face in disbelief.
"Your Majesty, have you been here?" Sui'er's heart moved, and the thick sadness seemed to begin to fade.
"Yes, early this morning, I wanted to come in and call you, but I saw that you were sleeping soundly in the emperor's arms. But the emperor didn't let me make a sound, tidied up my clothes and went out, and told me not to wake you up, so that you can sleep in peace. ”
Sui'er sat down stunned, wasn't that embrace last night a dream, and he came last night as promised? So what about the queen's side, how could he get out of the way. The heart is soft, but tears flow out uncontrollably, why did you come so late last night and let me down for so long?
Zhao Yu was in addition to Sui'er Shouxiao, the first time she saw her crying, even Liu Qingcheng got married, she didn't shed a single tear. I didn't know how to comfort her, so I had to pat her back and caress her gently.
Sui'er cried for a while, feeling that last night's grievances were gone, so she wiped her face and said, "It's okay, serve me to wash my face and eat!" ”
She calmed down quickly, but Zhao Yu panicked, "Miss, are you really okay?" ”
"Hmm!"
Sui'er nodded, ignored her, and washed her face by herself. Zhao Yu didn't see the red blood stains that Jiugu said when he made the bed, and looked at Deng Sui suspiciously, and he was stunned and didn't know what to do. Gritting his teeth at the end, he pulled out the silver hairpin on his head, and stabbed it towards his fingers, and suddenly the blood flowed like an infusion, Sui'er wiped his face, and suddenly saw Zhao Yu drenching blood on the bed, so frightened that he hurriedly pulled her hand and said, "What's the matter?" How does it bleed? ”
"Miss, miss, be quiet!" Zhao Yu grabbed her and whispered: "Miss, why didn't you see red last night, if this matter gets out, even if the emperor doesn't say anything?" It's not good for others to talk nonsense outside. I just punctured my finger, and it's fine. Don't scream! ”
Sui'er suddenly laughed, "You, you, don't ask me, last night, the emperor didn't pamper me, just hugged me and slept all night, you also-" couldn't help but giggle, making Zhao Yu embarrassed, scratching his fingers with a bitter face and shouting, "Why didn't you say it earlier, it hurts, it hurts me." ”
Sui'er took her hand, and while tearing off the placket to bandage her, she said: "Sister Yu, Sui'er knows that you are for my good, don't do such stupid things in the future, you are like this, Sui'er is distressed." ”
After breakfast, Sui'er walked around the garden, and saw that this West Palace was much larger than her own courtyard, with pavilions and pavilions, small bridges and flowing water, green trees, and a unique scenery.
Su Lan'er didn't know what happened yesterday, she only knew that the emperor came to the West Palace when it was almost dawn, and she also pampered the noble lady, which was a great thing, and naturally she couldn't wait to publicize it so that the whole palace knew about it.
Yin Li was rewarded early in the morning. In her rage, she threw a table of food to the floor, her hateful eyes bleeding. She forced the emperor to guard her side last night, but she didn't expect that after falling asleep, Liu Zhao left the Changqiu Palace and still returned to the West Palace, and she also pampered Yin Li, when the female official reported to her that she had seen the news that she had seen the red, she was so angry that she was going crazy. pretended to be sick all night, but he couldn't keep the emperor's heart, so he still went. What is it to be the queen of yourself? What's so good about Deng Sui, who stole everyone's limelight as soon as he entered the palace? It seems that one day and one night, all the concubines in the palace are doomed to fall out of favor, and everything will be completely subverted.
As usual, the concubine was going to visit the queen the day after entering the palace, and Yin Li had already made up her mind to give Deng Sui a face, and let her know that she was the master of the palace and the emperor's real wife. It's a big deal for her, even if she is a concubine of the emperor, since she is a concubine, she has to listen to herself. (To be continued)
