Chapter 169: Scattered
And Xie Jing and Xu Youshan in the main room, one is eating with an indifferent face, and the other is also eating, but they are full of decadence all over their bodies, and they are extremely weak, but they are two people who are out of place, but they are eating at the same table, which is really uncomfortable for others to watch.
And when the meal was finally finished, Xu Youshan quickly ran back to the inner room, never looked at Xie Jing again, and did not step out of the inner room for a later time. As for Xie Jing looking at Xu Youshan who was leaving quickly, he was still as immobile as a mountain, and he didn't care about her leaving, only after Xu Youshan completely ran into the inner room, he got up slowly and walked towards the empty mountain residence.
Wu Lin and Liu's mother naturally saluted Xie Jing to leave, and then walked towards the inner room, when they saw Xu Youshan on the big kang near the window again, lying in front of the window and watching Xie Jing's figure leaving silently, Wu Lin and the two sighed helplessly, and then said to Xu Youshan: "Princess, why are you so troubled." ”
"Why bother?" Xu Youshan smiled bitterly and said: "It's not bitter, what's so bitter, since you can't lie to yourself and say you don't care, then face it, but Leng Xinyun and her child are the first, but it can't be the last, Mother Wu, Mother Liu, you say, will I continue to face the birth of his and other women's children one by one in the future, will I see more by then, so I will be numb and no longer so sad?" ”
Xu Youshan's faint and bitter smile echoed in the quiet and silent room, making Wu Lin's nose sour when they heard it, but Liu's mother stabilized herself. said to Xu Youshan: "Princess, the prince is the eldest son of the emperor, and it is destined that the backyard in the future may only be surrounded by pearls and greens." Regardless of whether the prince succeeds or not, the most unlikely thing to lack around the prince is a woman, if you can't pass this level, the last person who suffers can only be yourself. ”
Xie Jing and Xu Youshan's fake marriage, and several confidants of the Wu Lin family around her, of course, all know very well. Therefore, Xie Jing is plotting for the supreme position of Da Zhou, and of course Liu's mother and they all know it, so what Liu's mother said is the truth. Regardless of whether Xie Jing is the eldest son of the current Emperor of the Great Zhou, or if he succeeds in the future and becomes the emperor of the Great Zhou, then he is the most unlikely to lack by his side. It can only be the women of the city.
And Liu's mother's words. also suddenly reminded Xu Youshan, she and Xie Jing said that they were good, but after he succeeded or failed, they would divide their own things, if they failed, they would not say anything, although he once said that he would keep her safe, but she was not very optimistic, after all, if Xie Jing failed, the new emperor would ascend the throne. How could she be left behind, the princess of Chu?
As for Xie Jing, if it was done, then they had already said it. He wouldn't admit the concubine that Emperor Zhou Hui gave him, because she also understood, when he saw her, all he remembered was how Emperor Zhou Hui had treated him, Da Zhou should have been the most honorable eldest son of the emperor, what she represented was the injustice and bad practices that Emperor Zhou Hui had given him, so how could he still keep her by his side? At that time, if he can keep his promise and let her leave, it will be the best ending, as for being able to stay by Xie Jing's side and become his queen?
Ha...... Xu Youshan suddenly wanted to laugh, wanted to laugh out loud, when did she start, she actually had such a whimsical and foolish dream?
"Mother Wu, Mother Liu, go out, I'm suddenly very tired, I want to get a good night's sleep, I don't want to think about anything, just sleep well." Xu Youshan suddenly said weakly.
And looking at Xu Youshan for some reason, her face suddenly became a little pale, Wu Lin and Liu's mother were a little worried, but when they saw that Xu Youshan didn't seem to have any other signs of discomfort, they glanced at each other, and finally saluted at the same time, and they both withdrew.
After waiting for a while, when Xie Jing came back from the empty mountain residence, he asked about Xu Youshan, after Wu Lin replied that he had fallen asleep, Xie Jing just frowned, and went to the east wing without any other expression, these days because Xie Jing wants to supervise whether Xu Youshan eats and drinks medicine on time, this east wing has already become a temporary study room for Xie Jing to deal with important affairs in the clouds after Bowei, and in the past few days, Xie Jing has not rested in the main room, but almost all of them rest in the east wing. Although most of the upper rooms on the east and west sides are luxuriously used as her dowry warehouses by Xu Youshan, after Xu Ming's marriage, it is now half empty, besides, after Xie Jing speaks, how can he not vacate the upper room?
So after a period of busyness and cleaning in the clouds of Bowei, three upper rooms were vacated in the east wing for Xie Jing to make a temporary study, which was also the place where Xie Jing rested in the clouds of Bowei Houyun recently.
It's just that after spending such a night that seems to be the same as usual, the atmosphere in Bowei Houyun became a little tense again, the reason is that early the next morning, Leng Xinyun actually ran to Bowei Houyun and asked Xie Jing and Xu Youshan to say goodbye, which made Xu Youshan who heard the little maid come in to report that Xu Youshan was immediately stunned, and then laughed, startling Chu Dai and Yue Dai next to him, and thought that Xu Youshan was too stimulated.
But Xu Youshan said next: "It seems that our cold concubine has a lot of heart, and she still wants to come and greet me." ”
"Princess, this person is simply uneasy and kind, otherwise you won't see her." After Chu Dai listened to Xu Youshan's words, she was the first to grit her teeth and said.
"What's this person and that person', she is the prince's side concubine, pay attention to what you say in the future, otherwise others will say that I didn't teach you etiquette well, you know?" After Xu Youshan heard this, she didn't comment much on other things, but first corrected the gaffe in Chu Dai's words, made Chu Dai stick out her tongue, and quickly nodded and said yes. And seeing that Chu Dai's attitude of admitting her mistakes was good, Xu Youshan said very indifferently: "People came to greet me, why didn't I see it?" Now there is something to be seen. ”
Xu Youshan smiled lightly again, and then took Chu Dai's hand out of the room, but as soon as she bypassed the Buddha's hand blue tourmaline emerald screen of the white plum blossoms embroidered with the moon, Xu Youshan saw Xie Jing, who was already sitting on the first seat outside, she was stunned, she didn't expect Xie Jing to come so quickly, didn't she say that Leng Xinyun had just arrived?
Xu Youshan was slightly surprised. But he didn't say much, just silently blessed Xie Jing, and went straight to the seat on the other side and sat down. Waiting for Xie Jing to let Leng Xinyun in.
And Xie Jing glanced at Xu Youshan who passed by him, and didn't speak, and after she sat down, she let the agarwood on the side go to Xuan Leng Xinyun to come in, and after a while, the curtain was lifted, and the cold heart cloud in the lower abdomen was already slightly raised. With Jin Meng's support, he cautiously walked into the house and stopped in front of Xie Jing and Xu Youshan. I want to give a big gift to the two. But before Leng Xinyun squatted down, Xu Youshan wanted to let her get up, but someone's voice was one step ahead of her, it was Xie Jing.
"You're pregnant now. There is no need to make a big salute. Have a seat. ”
"Yes." Leng Xinyun glanced at Xie Jing softly, and sat down on the row of jade and jade chairs under Xie Jing.
At this time, Xu Youshan had already withdrawn her gaze at Leng Xinyun, and she didn't care about the tender eyes she threw at Xie Jing, just lowered her head and sipped the yellow cloud mist tea in her hand. But Xu Youshan didn't speak, and the room was silent for a while, because Xie Jing didn't say anything more, and Leng Xinyun was in the case that Xie Jing and Xu Youshan didn't speak. She couldn't speak, either, so there was some eerily quiet in the room. Until there was a little maid outside the room to report, saying that Wang Nishang was here.
Xu Youshan, who was drinking tea by herself, was a little weird when she heard this, why was it so coincidental today, both of them came to Bowei Houyun. So Xu Youshan thought about it in her heart for a while, and when Xie Jing nodded and let Wang Nishang come in, she suddenly realized that today is fifteen. According to the rules, Wang Nishang and Leng Xinyun should indeed come to greet her today.
"See the prince, see the princess." As soon as Wang Nishang entered the house, she saluted Xie Jing and Xu Youshan to say goodbye.
"Sister is polite, get up." And this time, Xu Youshan actually took the initiative to speak, let Wang Nishang get up, and let her sit down, this is obviously different from the previous indifference to Leng Xinyun, but the people in the room have no different colors, and after Wang Nishang is seated, all the important characters in the play will be gathered, but I don't know when this scene will start.
Xu Youshan actually had a cold look of beholders at this time, she gently glanced at Wang Nishang and Leng Xinyun, and then lowered her eyes and drank the hot tea in her hand again, no matter what Wang Nishang and Leng Xinyun looked at now, and didn't even care what Xie Jing's look was, she just sat there quietly, wanting to see Wang Nishang and Leng Xinyun today, and what she wanted to make in front of Xie Jing, but no matter what she was messing up, as long as it didn't involve her, then she didn't care.
Xu Youshan sat there drinking tea nonchalantly, her face was nothing but a little pale and sickly, and after Xie Jing glanced at her, she withdrew her gaze, looked at Wang Nishang and Leng Xinyun and finally spoke: "What's the matter?" ”
"It's not a big deal, it's just that when the concubine went to the empty mountain residence that day, the princess fainted, and the concubine has always been worried, but these days her body is inconvenient, and it is inconvenient to visit the princess, and recently I just heard that the princess's body is much better, so I came to visit today." Leng Xinyun looked at Xie Jing with a sincere expression, but Xie Jing just looked faint and didn't say anything, so Leng Xinyun turned to Xu Youshan and continued to ask with concern: "Princess, your body is okay." ”
Xu Youshan smiled when she heard this, and said: "Concubine Tuo Leng cares, my body is fine, but Concubine Side, you should pay attention to your body, now is the most dangerous time, don't be careless." ”
After hearing Xu Youshan's words, Xu Youshan's face sank, and even Wang Nishang was surprised by Xu Youshan's straightforwardness in front of Xie Jing, but on the contrary, Xie Jing just turned his eyes to look at her expressionlessly after hearing Xu Youshan's words, and said nothing else, and Leng Xinyun immediately smiled after his face sank: "Princess Xie cares, but the concubine is cared for by the prince, and the general danger can't reach the concubine, but there is still Princess Lao's care." ”
"Huh...... What Concubine Leng said is, you have the protection of the prince, it is indeed not dangerous, but as the saying goes, if you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what if, I advise Concubine Leng to be more careful. Xu Youshan's delicate face was smiling, but there was a faint coldness in her tone, and her condescending eyes looking at Leng Xinyun were too oppressive, so Leng Xinyun's heart suddenly cooled, but before Leng Xinyun could react, Xu Youshan got up.
"Lord Qiqi. I was still a little uncomfortable, so I stepped back. ”
Xu Youshan bowed slightly in front of Xie Jing's eyes, and then turned around and left. didn't wait for Xie Jing's approval at all, if this had been placed in the past, it would have been impossible at all, but now Xu Youshan left without looking back, leaving Wang Nishang and Leng Xinyun who were sitting in a daze, and then Xie Jing looked at Xu Youshan's figure leaving, and there was no anger in his eyes. The surprise in the eyes of the two turned into coldness.
"Well, if nothing else, you both step down." Xie Jing was after Xu Youshan's figure completely disappeared from his eyes. suddenly said to Wang Nishang and Leng Xinyun.
But what else did Leng Xinyun want to say to Xie Jing, but Wang Nishang next to him suddenly got up and said goodbye to Xie Jing, which made Leng Xinyun stunned. She didn't excuse herself today, she didn't come to Po Wei Houyun to ask Xu Youshan for peace. I didn't come here to see the situation between Xie Jing and Xu Youshan, and by the way, I stimulated Xu Youshan again, after all, that day in the empty mountain house, after she told them that she was pregnant, the scene when Xu Youshan fainted, Leng Xinyun has always remembered in his mind.
Although Leng Xinyun always thought that this was a manifestation of Xu Youshan's scheming, her pale face and bloodless lips seemed to Leng Xinyun. It's also a great pleasure, that's why she took advantage of the fact that today is the fifteenth day. Let's take a look at Xie Jing and Xu Youshan's situation, but I didn't expect that Xu Youshan actually won Xie Jing's favor with a sick face, and now it seems that Xie Jing still has a tendency to favor her more and more, no matter what it is, it is not good for Leng Xinyun.
So now Leng Xinyun thought about it, he should go back first and then think about it and say, so after Wang Nisheng, Leng Xinyun was stunned, and actually got up and said goodbye to Xie Jing. And Wang Nishang and Leng Xinyun also left Bowei Houyun one after the other after Xu Youshan left.
At this time, Xu Youshan was already in the backyard of Bowei Houyun, she was sitting in the small pavilion in the courtyard, watching the plum blossoms under the gradual melting of the ice and snow, and the decay that was gradually withering, and the barrage in her eyes was compared. Wu Lin looked at Xu Youshan like this, but he was a little puzzled in his heart, from this morning, Xu Youshan gave her a feeling that was a little different, but what was the difference, Wu Lin couldn't say why, only knew that the current Xu Youshan was a little too indifferent.
"Mother Wu, you send Uncle Wu to tell Wu Chou, so that he can immediately summarize the situation in Beijing, and then report it to me." Just when Wu Lin was strange about Xu Youshan's changes, Xu Youshan suddenly commanded her.
"Yes, princess, the old slave will let the old man out of the house in a while." Wu Lin was shocked and replied in a hurried voice.
"Hmm." Xu Youshan replied lightly, and then stopped talking, and in the front yard at the same time, Xie Jing was still in the main room, his eyes were slightly closed, and he rubbed his faintly painful forehead with his hand, and then he heard Wen Geyu report next to him: "Lord Qiqi, there has been no movement on the side of the three princes recently, as if the whole turtle has shrunk up, and even the clues we found earlier in the Lingnan area are now gone." ”
"Hmph, he is in a good situation now, with the city where he and his mother are quite deep, how can he not understand that what he needs now is to be cautious and small, and not to take a wrong step? But the more Xie Wen is like this, the more we need to grasp his handle, inform the three uncles, and dispatch all the hidden piles of Jiang Chun in Lingnan, no matter what, we must dig out all the horses and feet he hides in the Lingnan area. ”
Xie Jing sneered, a mocking look appeared on his red lips, and then he said a little coldly. Hearing the song and hearing the words, he responded to everything, and then bowed to Xie Jing to leave, turned around and left the house, but took a deep look at the agarwood standing outside the house, but the agarwood didn't look at the song, just lowered his head slightly. Seeing her like this, Wen Ge shook his head slightly helplessly, and then walked away.
But after Wen Ge left, Agarwood raised his head, just glanced at the direction Wen Ge left, and knocked on the door and entered the house, "Lord Wang, it's almost the end of the hour now, are you going to have breakfast?" ”
"Well, what about the princess?" Xie Jing still closed his eyes slightly, leaned on the light gold pillow with silk flowers on a white background behind him, and answered softly, and then turned to ask Xu Youshan.
When Agarwood heard this, the displeasure in her eyes flashed, but her tone remained the same and replied in a respectful voice: "The princess is in the backyard now, do you need me to invite the princess to come over and dine with the princess?" ”
"Backyard...... No need. Xie Jing's words fell, and there was joy in Agarwood's lowered eyes, but before these joyful colors appeared for a while, Xie Jing suddenly got up and walked towards the backyard, the look in Agarwood's eyes froze, and then he was a little lonely and followed behind Xie Jing and walked towards Xu Youshan.
Winter is gradually gone, early spring is coming, although it is still a little cold, but people can still clearly feel that spring is coming, just like the backyard of Bowei Houyun, the plum blossoms are gradually withering, but the spring apricot has budded to be released, and another sea of flowers is coming. And these apricot trees were all transplanted by Xu Youshan after marrying into the Chu Palace, after all, in the courtyard of Zhengyan Pavilion, there are such ancient apricots, which have accompanied Xu Youshan for a long, long time.
"See the prince."
Xu Youshan was recalling the various scenes in the courtyard in Dongyang Lane, and the sound of asking for peace suddenly sounded outside the pavilion, Xu Youshan was stunned, looked back, and sure enough, she saw Xie Jing standing there alone, looking at her only four or five zhang away, and it was not the first time, in her eyes, the distance between them was only four or five zhang, but it was like the end of the cape and could not be crossed.
And I don't know if it was in Xu Youshan's eyes, what sad emotions really appeared at this time, Xie Jing's slender beautiful eyes narrowed, and he went straight through the servant, walked into the pavilion, and came to Xu Youshan, looked at her coldly and was silent for a while, and then suddenly said: "The princess is really getting bolder and bolder." ”
Xu Youshan was blindsided by Xie Jing's endless sentence, looked at him with a frown, and said, "I don't know what the prince means." ”
Xie Jing looked at Xu Youshan and said, "When the princess sees me, she doesn't have to salute?" ”
Xu Youshan was stunned for a moment, then lowered her eyes and blessed Xie Jing, "See the prince, why did you come here?" ”
"I'm looking for you." Xie Jing's voice was very soft, but Xu Youshan could still hear it clearly, but then she smiled bitterly, what are you looking for her to do, looking for her to go back to face his beautiful concubines? Or do you want her to go back and see the cold heart cloud that is gradually plump? Xu Youshan suddenly took a step back, and turned straight to leave, but how could Xie Jing let her go, he stretched out his hand and grabbed her, and Xie Jing just touched Xu Youshan's arm, his brows furrowed slightly, this is just a few days, why does he feel that she has lost some weight again? Xie Jing pulled the struggling Xu Youshan, held her in his arms, lifted her chin, and looked at her carefully.
Xie Jing really didn't think about anything at this time, so he wanted to take a good look at Xu Youshan to see if she was really thin, after all, Xu Youshan had been avoiding him for the past few days, which was a conspicuous fact, and the only time they could meet was when he insisted on watching her eat all the food, but it was only a few quarters of an hour later, and Xu Youshan also slipped away quickly as soon as she finished eating a handful of meals, so he couldn't find her emaciation.
But Xie Jing didn't think about anything, but Xu Youshan, who was tightly held in his arms, thought a lot, especially Leng Xinyun, as well as Leng Xinyun and his children, as soon as Xu Youshan thought of this, tears suddenly gushed out when she couldn't stop it, which shocked Xie Jing, and then watched the tears fall sharply, but she still bit her lower lip Xu Youshan, and her slender beautiful eyes were suddenly filled with helplessness.
"Don't cry." Xie Jing sighed lightly, there was a sense of distress in his cold voice, and he reached out to touch Xu Youshan's little face, wanting to wipe away those tears.
But looking at Xie Jing like this, Xu Youshan's tears fell even more fiercely, and her struggle to push Xie Jing away was also greater, but in Xie Jing's arms, this was just an ant-like strength, so after a while, she herself was tired first, and Xie Jing looked at Xu Youshan's tears that she couldn't wipe away and sighed, and pressed Xu Youshan into her arms.
Under the clear sky, it was Xu Youshan's cry that gradually stopped being held back. Under the cold wind, the plum blossoms withered to the ground, and the desolate breath of Xiao Suo seemed to be overwhelming for a while, which made people unstoppable a little sour. (To be continued.) )
