031 Go home
On the mountain road outside the courtyard, the girl and the mother came and went to carry the clothes, or do the final count, the guards were dressed in shining armor, and the heroic posture was in place, just waiting for the prince to give an order, and the whole team could set off immediately.
It wasn't until this moment that there was a sense of realism that he really wanted to leave.
Just as he was stunned, Dongxue came in from outside the car and thoughtfully lowered the curtain to block everyone's gaze. She smiled, "Wait a long time, let's go." ”
When the words fell, the body shook slightly, and then drove forward smoothly.
When the convoy reached the bottom of the mountain, he couldn't help but open the curtain and look back. The mountain is still the same mountain, white and vast, with faint clouds and mist. You can still vaguely find the thousand-year-old tree, which is where the Tingfeng Pavilion is located.
The sound of cars and the thousand-year-old trees were finally completely blurred from view......
"Don't worry, Mrs. Yan," in the carriage, Dong Xue said softly and wanted to comfort, but she seemed to realize that no matter how much she tried to comfort the current situation, she changed her tone and said, "It won't be long before the prince will send someone to pick him up." ”
Hearing her voice, he lowered the curtain and smiled gratefully. It was not to thank her for her pale persuasion, but for her appearance, Dongxue was always considerate and did not ask questions.
"I hope so." Pour in answers.
Thinking of Mrs. Yan's explanation yesterday, Yun'er's calmness, and her attitude towards her going back to the palace, she always felt that they were too calm and willing.
Dongxue didn't continue the topic anymore, "You don't know yet, Jin Yan was kicked out of the courtyard. ”
Lowered his eyes to cover the cold light at the bottom of his eyes.
A girl who can't grasp the proportions, is blindly used by others, and has no owner to rely on, and finally falls into the end of being abandoned, which is almost a long foreseeable fact. She really had nothing to say about Jin Yan's self-inflicted consequences, but when she mentioned Jin Yan, she inevitably thought of Mrs. Wen again.
Compared to the shock when Mrs. Min saw her, Mrs. Wen's face was so ordinary that it was sideways, and she only paused slightly when her gaze swept over her, and then she turned her eyes away and got into the carriage.
After a short rest at noon, the convoy continued to drive in the direction of the capital without stopping, and finally entered the city gate at three o'clock in the hour.
It is the busiest time of the day, when the streets are filled with the sounds of hawking and noise, and the smell of food is whetting the appetite. Due to the crowd, their group walked very slowly, and when the carriage came to a complete stop and the sound of welcoming the prince back to his house reached his ears, it was already two cups of tea.
The chaotic figures were reflected in the curtains, and faintly, someone could be felt crowding over.
"Then let's go down." Dongxue said and got out of the carriage first.
Tilting followed Dongxue all the way to the front of the team, Chuxue was jumping off the car, the two tacitly opened the curtain left and right, and Jun Ruojin slowly walked out of it.
Mama Wang greeted her respectfully, Jun Ruojin whispered a few words to her, and strode towards the door surrounded by everyone.
Tilting and walking at the end without a sound, when he saw the door that should be extremely familiar, he felt strange. Jiang Yan became a prophecy and stayed in the beautiful Qiyu Mountain since then, but she, an originally irrelevant person, returned to the palace by mistake.
There was a sudden gasping sound beside him, and in a blink of an eye, a whisper came out, and he came back to his senses, and in a blink of an eye, he touched the little girl ring next to him who was suddenly silenced and did not hide his curious gaze.
These secretly inquiring eyes, I have seen a lot all the way, and I have already changed from discomfort to calmness. She smiled calmly, but the little girl was so startled that she hurriedly ran away.
She shook her head amusedly, and quickly followed the group of people who had walked away, and as she stepped into the threshold, she inadvertently saw a familiar figure on the other side of the corridor.
I still remember Yun'er's many instructions, but the one she wants to remember the most is Ling'er. She said that since then, Mrs. and her are not in the house, and she can't mention it from time to time, Ling'er is anxious and easy to offend people, and she serves by the prince's side, and she can talk a lot of times, hoping that she can take care of it more.
Ling'er was dressed in a willow yellow skirt, standing quietly behind the red pillars, looking at the back of the prince obsessively. was a little far away, and she couldn't see her expression clearly, but vaguely felt that she was slender, as if she had lost a lot of weight.
At a corner in front of them, the prince and his party were blocked behind the pavilion and could not be seen again. Ling'er was reluctant to retract her gaze, hung her head and stood for a moment, and the moment she turned around, the eyes of the two finally met.
"Tilt," Seeing that Tilt was about to go in the direction of Wenlan Garden, Dongxue, who turned back, stopped her in time, "You are wrong, Yu Lanyuan is here." ”
Leaning and stopped, but his eyes did not retract, silently following Ling'er's back as if fleeing, until the corridor was empty. Who would have thought that Madame's original decision would inadvertently fulfill Ling'er.
Dongxue only thought that she was touching the scene, sighed secretly, and said, "It's not early today, let's go back and settle down first, and we'll talk about other things later." ”
Dong Xue's hint naturally understood that from the moment Qi Yushan left, she was a person from Yulan Courtyard, and the people and things in the past could only be put behind.
Yulanyuan is beyond imagination.
If Wenlan Garden is like the elegant and beautiful south of the Yangtze River, Yulan Yuan has an exquisite layout, but it is full of the unique solemn atmosphere of the north. However, what amazed her even more was the servants here, all of them looked solemn, stared at each other, and walked without a sound, only when they saw the winter snow, they would stop and greet respectfully.
No wonder the prince looks down on Wenlan Yuan's subordinates so much.
Dongxue smiled and nodded, always approachable. She carefully introduced all the places she passed by, until the two of them walked back to the small courtyard with red walls and blue tiles, and she realized that she had deliberately taken herself around.
Dong Xue said: "Let's briefly point it out to you first, lest you go out and don't know which way to go, I often couldn't find the direction a few days before I first arrived here, and I was almost scolded for making a mistake." ”
Tilt hurriedly thanked him, "Speaking of which, how long have you been in the mansion?" ”
Dong Xue was walking towards the small courtyard with her, and said with a smile: "I and Chu Xue came out of the palace with Mama Wang, and it has been six or seven years. ”
made a joke, and then I figured out that the respect of others to treat Dongxue was not only because she was a first-class girl next to the prince, but also because of the deterrence brought by the word palace. I remember hearing that Yin Hong and Yin Mo have also been by the prince's side since childhood, so when I think about it, the people close to the prince are not people who have been with him for a long time.
The yard is clean and tidy, the middle aisle is paved with neat bluestone slabs, and there is a row of houses on each side. A row of lilacs is planted between the house and the bluestone pavement, which can be viewed and shaded.
Winter Snow led her to the room on the right, "You live here, with my place on one side and Chuxue on the opposite side of me. A few years ago, the two sisters who were with us were released from the house by the prince to marry, and since then there have been no more people, and the room has been vacant. Look at what you think is lacking and tell me about it. ”
Tilt looked at the room in amazement.
The size of the room is three times the size of the previous Wenlan Garden, the walls are freshly painted, and the floor is clean and dusty. The innermost silk screen is placed behind the bed, a mirror table is placed on the right side, and a small round table is supported on the ground in the middle, and a cage, incense burner and other applications are complete.
Dongxue lifted a curtain on the left, "This is a place to wash, you wash and rest first, someone will bring food in a while." ”
He thanked him.
There is no smell of paint in the room, and the materials are all brand new, not something that can be sorted out in a short time, and the news of her return to her home came back early.
Dong Xue's gaze fell on the burden in her hand, "By the way, there is anything else in Wenlan Yuan that you need to bring, I will let you pick it up." ”
"Don't bother, I'll pick it up myself when it's convenient for me." She didn't have many things, and she brought all the things she used daily to Qi Yu Mountain, although Wenlan Yuan still had some of them, they were not in a hurry.
Tilting suddenly remembered Feiyan, remembering that when she was in Wenlan Garden, she helped her pack her bags and gave her out of her clothes and shoes that she was not wearing. Unexpectedly, it was the last time they got together, and they almost never saw each other again.
That night, I woke up from sleep again, dreamed of many people in a daze, and finally stayed up until the next morning, when a little girl came to invite her, saying that it was Mama Wang who asked her to come over.
In the spacious and bright hall, Tilt Bang saw this famous grandmother again.
She stood in front of the plaque, dressed in a dark blue coat with a stand-up collar and a necklace of pearls around her neck. The hair is half white, all the hair is tied at the back of the head and curled into a low bun, only decorated with a silver hairpin, simple and capable. She wasn't tall, but she looked compelling because of her straight back.
At this time, there was a girl ring who was asking her something, she listened carefully, nodded from time to time, and her slender eyes were fierce.
Tilting didn't make a sound, and stood quietly waiting for the two to finish.
If you really want to describe Mama Wang's status in the palace, it is not an exaggeration to say that she is only subservient to the prince. Mama Wang is the dowry grandmother of Ying Guifei, she has watched Wang Ye grow up since she was a child, and has always taken care of his food, clothing and daily life, so she can be said to be the person he trusts the most. Remembering what Dong Xue said, several of them were pulled up by Mama Wang, and it was not surprising that Mama saw her in the morning.
Just remembering the past, I couldn't help but be in awe and awe of her.
After a while, the little girl left and walked forward, "Say hello to Mama." ”
There was silence in front of him.
Tilting her head by half a head, when she lowered her head, she could clearly perceive the inspection and judgment of her sharp eyes on her face, and she held her breath and concentrated, for some reason, facing her was more nervous than the prince who had always been quiet.
She slowly sat down on the circle chair and asked lukewarmly, "Are you still used to coming back last night?" ”
It's not whether you're used to living or eating, it's whether you're used to 'coming back' or not. He was accustomed to the prince's speaking habits, and he even understood Mama's words lightly.
She didn't answer right away.
"What, but what's the dissatisfaction?" Mama then asked.
He didn't hesitate any longer, and hurriedly replied: "No, it's all good." ”
Mama Wang nodded, "That's good, only when you don't have any worries can you do things for the prince wholeheartedly." ”
Listening respectfully, Mama Wang didn't need her response, took a sip of tea to moisten her throat, and said slowly: "Presumably Dongxue has already told you something, so you should know that with your current conditions, you are not qualified to serve by the prince's side at all." However, since it is the prince's decision, I will naturally fully cooperate and try to train you to be what I want. What you need to keep in mind is that from now on you are the prince's person, and you must think twice about your every move, and you must not bring any trouble to the prince. ”
"Yes." Pour this back neatly.
Mama Wang laughed, "Words don't count, I hope you prove it with practical actions, and I will watch you." ”
I'll watch you.
After hearing these words, she felt that Mama Wang didn't like her, or even rejected her, for no reason, and these were things she hadn't felt from her before.
In the next few days, he followed Mama Wang to familiarize himself with the rules of Yulan Courtyard, the daily habits of the prince, and learned the etiquette of the court. Only then did she realize that in the palace and the palace, it was all the rules to stand, sit and lie down.
Mama Wang treats her very strictly, and she can even be described as harsh, and she has to work hard to cope with Mama's school examination anytime and anywhere. And except for the first few small punishments and big commandments, there are few mistakes in dumping.
As the days passed, Mama Wang gradually gained some understanding of the tilt, and she was a little smart, but she also had a lot of inertia. A little harsh, she can be vigilant and spur herself, but whenever she agrees a little, she immediately unconsciously relaxes.
As Chu Xue said, he is a person who knows how to see eyes.
It's just that Mama Wang is still not satisfied, and the more she gets along, the more contradictory she feels in her heart.
If it can really be used by the prince, she believes that in time, it will be enough to cover either of the first snow and the winter snow, but every time she thinks of the situation under which she returned to the mansion, she is almost certain that from now on, the peaceful Yulan Courtyard will no longer be peaceful.
There is also the expression of the prince listening carefully when reporting the latest situation every night, which makes her willing to be a mediocre person for a while.
