019 Red Plum in the Night
Yun'er looked at Madame's gentle and happy smiling face, and suddenly thought of Ling'er. Who would have thought that Ling'er, in order to create a chance for herself, made a mistake to give her a chance to give her a chance again, so that they could have hope again.
But Yun'er felt even more sorry for Madame, how much she should have suffered, how much she wanted to save that child, so that she would leave the suddenly arrived prince on her bed on such a night. Later, in order not to be discovered, regardless of the trampling of raging rumors, he sent all the people around him, leaving only trusted people to serve.
Jiang Yan's soft voice continued, "Don't worry, this time, my mother will definitely protect you well and not let anyone have a chance to hurt you." Where you are, your mother is there. β
This sentence made Yun'er's heart jump suddenly, and the heart-wrenching scene two years ago resurfaced in front of her eyes. She always had doubts hidden in her heart, but when she saw her lady's smiling face, she had to swallow back the words that repeatedly came to her lips.
She squeezed the spoon in her hand tightly, quickly threw away the distracting thoughts, and secretly swore in her heart that she must protect her wife and little master.
Thinking of this, she calmed down and made sure that there was nothing unusual before she spoke again, "Madam, you can drink soup this time." β
Pork bone soup has always been the most hated thing for the lady, but it is very beneficial for the body.
Jiang Yanyan smiled and drank it in one gulp no longer resisting.
Until she finished drinking a whole bowl, Yun'er helped her to sit down on the couch by the window, "Madam, return the jade pendant." β
Jiang Yan took the jade pendant and looked at it carefully, and there was shallow excitement and nostalgia between Ning He's eyebrows, and she turned over and over again to caress every trace of lines on it. After a long time, she asked Yun'er to bring her box.
The box opened, and it was her one inside. Since she learned that Xiao Yu's jade was missing, she put away her own.
She took them in her hand and put them all in the box, and her heart was peaceful and complete.
"Madam, what are you ......" Watching her hand over the box, Yun'er didn't understand what she meant.
"Put it away, and give it to him when he leaves." Jiang Yan closed her eyes slightly and stopped looking at the box.
Yun'er was relieved, Mrs. had put it down without hesitation, she only hoped that Xiao Gongzi would not live up to Mrs. Madame's wishes.
Hearing the news of falling into the water, Xiao Yu's eyes narrowed, and he said leisurely, "This girl is really," Seeing Yun'er waiting for him to follow, he swallowed the words 'ill-fated' that gloated and changed his words: "There will be blessings in the future." β
As for the matter of the jade pendant, he never asked again.
β¦β¦
Since I put my mind down, I have been living in Fuqu Pavilion in peace, and the greatest pleasure of the day is nothing more than teasing Linglong. The little girl is lively and cheerful, and she has lived on this Qiyu Mountain since she can remember, although she has no father or mother, but fortunately, she was carefully raised and lived a very frank life.
Linglong likes to join in the fun, although there is no excitement to see on Qiyu Mountain all year round. According to her, the biggest excitement in Zizhu Courtyard recently is that someone fell into the water, which also alarmed the prince. She heard the wind and left, glad she hadn't missed it. Maybe it's because she saw the most wolf bèi, and Linglong inexplicably has a good impression of her.
Tilting listened to her teeth, and reached out to pinch her fleshy cheek.
Linglong looked at her with blank eyes, and stopped talking several times, but after all, she didn't forget to tell her about touching the prince's hand when she was dizzy.
Knowing that Tilt was coming from the south, Linglong asked many questions with curiosity, and Tilt Pull leaned on the head of the bed and spoke eloquently. Linglong listened to the envy in her eyes, and she would go out for a walk in the future.
Looking at her expectant gaze, Qian Wan suddenly remembered that she had said something similar to Yan Ling when she was a child, and she said that when she grew up, she must go to the vast desert in the northwest to meet the legendary heroes of Daqi.
In exchange, and in order to show the so-called enthusiasm for repaying the favor, Linglong also told her a lot of things about Qi Yushan, and of course her big brother.
Early this morning, Linglong jumped in, held a large bouquet of flowers in her hand, and handed it to Tilt.
There was no doubt that he was there, and he took it happily.
Jin Yan looked at Linglong's happy smiling face with suspicion on her face, and asked, "Where did this flower come from?" β
Tilting was curious about her question, but listened to Linglong's mysterious and mysterious words: "Someone sent it." β
Jin Yan shook her head helplessly, and whispered in her ear, only then did she know why she had asked just now, it turned out that there were no plum blossoms in Zizhu Courtyard.
Pouring curiosity, "Who sent it?" "Could it be the big brother?
"Sister only said that I like it or not?" Linglong asked, ignoring the meaningful smile.
He nodded his head with a "hmm" and teased her, "Of course I like it, but if you tell me who the person who sent the flowers is, I will be even happier." β
Linglong smiled, "It's good to like it." She blinked, jumped and ran out again.
Jin Yan asked quietly: "Why don't I go over and have a look?" β
"No, you don't." Hurriedly grabbed her, "Children, there will always be one or two secrets, and it's not fun to be stabbed." β
"Do you know who it is?" Jin Yan joked, "Could it be the one who gave you the jade pendant?" β
"How is that possible?" Taken aback, his instincts retorted.
Seeing this, Jin Yan didn't ask any more questions, and a light smile appeared on her lips.
Early the next morning, Linglong came over with a bouquet of flowers, and helped find a porcelain vase and inserted the flowers into the bottle one by one. The two sat side by side at the head of the bed and watched, leaning without the intention of probing, but Linglong couldn't bear it anymore.
"So, these flowers were really given to you by your big brother who likes them very much?" Dumping asked with a smile.
"Well, but it's not for me, it's for you, he said they will make people feel good, and when they are in a good mood, they will be cured. This big brother is very good, by the way, he brought you here. β
Tilting her eyebrows to express surprise, she should also know this person, so she has a rough selection in her heart, "Then you can help me say thank you, okay, but the flowers don't have to be sent every day, you see, those from yesterday haven't been thanked yet." β
Linglong also felt a little pity when she saw it.
"Why don't we make plum blossom cakes from flowers, and then you can help me give him the cakes, which can be regarded as expressing my gratitude." β
Linglong nodded happily.
An idea suddenly occurred in his heart.
The breakfast that day was still rich, with white porridge, golden silk rolls, and a few vegetarian side dishes, which were simple and simple, but the quality was excellent, which made people can't help but have a great appetite. But she knows that even if it's just a vegetarian diet, it's all made after several complicated processes. As Jin Yan said, what is the treasure of the jade plate, the more ordinary and delicate things you look at, the treasures.
The people around the prince are not first-class masters, strong in martial arts like Yin Hong, gentle and careful like winter snow, and even the chef is extraordinary. Thinking about it this way, she was really naΓ―ve in her original thoughts.
After eating, I took medicine and dressing as usual, so far most of the injuries on my body have healed, and it is not a problem to get out of bed and walk around, but the relationship between the feet is covered with medicine and cloth, and the movement is a little inconvenient.
At the end of the day, I suddenly woke up in the middle of the night, dripping in cold sweat.
She had that dream again, and in the dream she fell to the bottom of the water, like a boulder pressed against her, so heavy that she couldn't breathe. She gasped for air, and when she lowered her head to look, she suddenly burst into laughter.
Linglong put her right hand on her waist, leaning on her body with half of her body on her stomach, and her right foot clasped her legs.
I knew that Linglong slept so badly, she said that she would not agree to sleep with her after playing too late, but she was so numb in her legs and feet.
Tilting slowly lifted up to take her hand away, and she snorted, and moved in discomfort from the noise. Tilt took the opportunity to get up and sit on the edge of the bed, just sat down, and the whole bed under him was occupied by her, and she rubbed her face comfortably.
The legs are still a little sore, and the soles of the feet are like pins and needles when they move slightly. He slowly moved to the end of the bed, put on a garment, and went to the table to pour a glass of warm water.
Unable to sleep left and right, she walked slowly around the house, her steps very light. Walking to the window, a little clear moonlight outside shone on her through the window.
Quietly opened a gap, and the fresh air squeezed in along the narrow slit, she couldn't help but get closer, and then she realized that she hadn't touched the cold night breeze of Qi Yu Mountain for a long time. Above the window, the crescent moon hung obliquely in the sky, and behind the distant mountain, a white light faintly appeared, and it was almost dawn. It's just that it's still dark right now, and it's quiet everywhere, and I can't hear a single human voice.
I remember that when she first arrived at the palace, she often woke up at such a moment, and after it was difficult to fall asleep, she let her thoughts wander freely. Occasionally, she would feel in a trance, surprised how she had come from Lingzhou to the capital step by step, and then accidentally stepped into this palace that she had never dreamed of.
A place very different from the environment in which she used to live.
And here, she met the only beauty in that nightmare.
A sudden gust of wind blew the window open, and it also recalled the tilt from the memory of the past. She hurriedly raised her hand to close the window, only to notice that there was a small building directly in front of Fuqu Pavilion.
The small building has two floors, and it is dark and painted, and I don't know if it is vacant or inhabited. The two buildings are not very far apart, separated only by sparse trees. The path in front of the Fuqu Pavilion is paved with bluestone, and the palace lamps are hung at both ends of the distance, which are not bright, but they can vaguely illuminate the road.
Linglong muttered something, and tugged at the quilt on her body, as if she felt cold. Tilting no longer thought about it, turned around and closed the window.
But just as the windows were about to close, the corners of his eyes caught a flash of shadows. Her hands snapped tightly to prevent the window from making a noise from the wind.
Outside the window, the night wind blew the dead branches and brushed them, almost muffling the extremely small sound. The sound was very regular, the sound of footsteps heading east.
When the person is farther away, lean the probe to look.
The figure is slender and medium-sized, and it is very familiar. The moon burrowed into the clouds and out again, and the hairpin on the man's head gradually reflected the red peony flower pattern.
Pulling out a sigh, she thought it was......
But unless he really didn't want to die, this was the last place he should be.
She shook her head, and secretly said that she had been a bit of a soldier recently, and she used a lot of force in her hand to completely close the window.
Stroking her arms to dispel the cold, she turned away from the window.
Later, she recalled the feeling countless times, and what prompted her to turn around and reopen the window at the moment of lifting, but she never knew what she felt. She only knew that she followed her instincts, and then she was stunned to see the delicate red plum outside the window, red as the sunset, overflowing with cold fragrance.
The moon outside the window is bright and quiet, but she seems to be the only one between heaven and earth.
