79 His heart is far away
Different from the caution here, Qingjiang, who was in the Ling Guo Mansion, was lying on the soft couch leisurely, with a pot of hot tea floating beside her, and a stack of books beside her.
She had finished her lunch a few hours ago, walked around the small garden to eat, and returned to her room to let Ya'er make a pot of tea, and then sent Ya'er away.
Since Ling Guogong proposed to let her read these books, he must have his reasons, it was not just a pastime to help her pass the time, as for what the purpose was, he asked her to open these books to find out.
It's just that it's not difficult to guess that there must be a secret hidden in these books that she doesn't know but will surprise her very much, and this secret must be about Song Yuan.
Qingjiang held a book on his lap, but only stared at the paper and didn't open it for a long time.
On top of a small two-story building not far from the courtyard of Qingjiang, Ling Guogong stared at Qingjiang on the soft couch in front of the bed through the gap, and asked out loud, "She hasn't started yet?" ”
The person who looked like a small guy reached out and wiped the beads of sweat from the corner of his forehead, and gasped: "My lord, according to the news that came over, it has not been." ”
Ling Guogong flicked his sleeves and sneered: "I knew that I should have shown her directly or prepared a few fewer books, I really overestimated her." ”
At this moment, Qing Jiang, who was staring at the book on his lap, turned his head to look this way, Ling Guogong was startled, and hurriedly dodged it, but suddenly thought that the window in front of him was tightly closed, and there was only a small gap that was not noticeable, and Rao was unable to find it no matter how good her eyesight was, so he stood up and looked at Qing Jiang coldly.
Qingjiang suddenly smiled at the window. Then he got up and closed the window, and Ling Guogong's eyes narrowed. Did she really find out that she couldn't do it?
After Qingjiang closed the window, he shrugged his shoulders and smiled secretly. She didn't see anyone in that place, though. But it is not difficult to guess that this window was not opened yesterday or in the morning, and it happened that Ya'er moved the soft couch to this place again, so how could she not doubt it.
Regardless of whether anyone was watching her upstairs, she couldn't see it now.
She lay down on the couch again, took a big sip of her teacup, and then picked up the books on the table again and flipped through them one by one.
Ling Guogong, who was very angry by Qingjiang's move to close the window, felt that his authority was being challenged. Just as he was about to make the next move, he was told that Concubine Ling was visiting.
Ling Guogong only felt a breath of qi surging from the top of his head to the big acupoints around his body, how could she come here at this most embarrassing time!
Concubine Ling sat on the main seat in the hall, and wanted to see her mother, but she was told that the whole family had gone to the White Horse Temple to pray for blessings.
She must be in the house.
Ling Guogong entered the door and found Concubine Ling sitting on the main seat, although she didn't say a word, Concubine Ling automatically stood up and saluted him. It wasn't until Ling Guogong sat down in the place where she had sat that she looked at her father's face and cautiously said goodbye.
"Ling'er has said hello to his father, has his father had lunch?"
Ling Guogong took a sip of the new tea brought by the waiter. didn't give Concubine Ling any face, and asked directly, "Why are you here?" ”
"I wanted to go home to visit my mother, but I didn't want everyone to say that my mother got up and went to the White Horse Temple? Those aunts also went? ”
Although Ling's family is dominant. Ling Guogong has a thin heir, and he has only had one daughter, Concubine Ling, for so many years. Although there are many aunts in the family, they are all out of nowhere.
"What do you care about. Hurry back to the palace, does Your Majesty know about your coming out? ”
Concubine Ling replied, "My daughter has only not seen her mother for a long time, and she misses her very much...... I went out of the palace with the consent of His Majesty, and His Majesty also asked me to greet my father. ”
Ling Guogong frowned, only confused, he entered the palace every day and went to the early court, and His Majesty did not look up and look down, why do you need to greet, Your Majesty's sentence clearly has another deep meaning, this is to warn him in secret. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at Concubine Ling like iron is not steel, and only sighed that his daughter was also stupid, and she didn't know if she was taken advantage of. Concubine Ling saw that her father's face had changed in an instant, and she couldn't help but ask with some worry, "Father, is there something wrong with my daughter?" ”
Ling Guogong only stared at her, and only when Concubine Ling was about to kneel down with a small drum in her heart, did she speak: "Don't use your harem set on me, you are my species, I don't know what bends your heart has in your heart?" ”
Concubine Ling's knees were weak, and she knelt at Ling Guogong's feet with a "poof", her beautiful eyes were full of tears. Since she was a child, she was not close to her father, and whenever she went out with her mother, she was envious when she saw other children laughing and laughing on her father's knees.
She knew since she was a child that her father was the younger brother of the empress of the dynasty, the prince of Yipinguo, and her cousin was the future emperor, and she was born to be an empress. So when other children were still laughing and running, she had begun to learn various etiquette, and she learned to learn piano, chess, and calligraphy, and learned to smile without showing her teeth. Father rarely cares about her, most of the things that appear in life are mothers, although there are many concubines in the father, but she is the only child from beginning to end, so those aunts are vying to please her.
But a change ten years ago made her a harem person in advance, but she was not a queen, just a concubine.
Then she gradually discovered that her father had cultivated her since she was a child, just to have a chess piece that would be very easy to use in the future. She entered the palace at the age of ten, when His Majesty was fifteen years old, she had grown into a little man, and returned from studying in the wild goose falling mountain, and her gentle and elegant body touched her heart.
But later, she slowly discovered the secret contest between her father and His Majesty, and she also saw the disgust for her in the eyes of the old ministers of the former court, and she passed on the news and recent situation of His Majesty to her father, and her father had only one request for her.
Pregnant with a dragon heir.
But she didn't dare to tell her father, since she was fifteen years old, His Majesty only moved her, she used some means to get His Majesty, but afterwards in His Majesty's cold eyes got a bowl of shunzi soup, since that year after her father began to prepare for His Majesty to expand the harem, she has made trouble against but to no avail, her father's eyes will never be on her.
Fortunately, although His Majesty was a beautiful woman of three thousand after that, no one was pregnant, until five years ago, after His Majesty left the palace for a year and suddenly came back, she felt that His Majesty seemed to be a different person, not only planted a magnolia outside the imperial study from elsewhere, but also often stayed alone in a daze.
Every time he is held by His Majesty or pillowed on the crook of his arm, he feels that his heart is 108,000 miles away from him, a place that can never be reached.
She also knows that her status and dilemma should not be extravagant to have love. (To be continued......)
