21. Chapter 21
Ku'er and the waterboat took Xue'er back to the waterboat house, and the two looked at each other helplessly, how could this happen one after another recently. Since the beginning of Ku'er's assassination, the princess obviously wanted to take advantage of this incident to drive Ku'er out of the palace, or kill her.
Putting Cher on the ground, she wisely returned to her warm nest, the little one didn't sleep last night, and this would actually yawn, and soon fell asleep.
The waterboat poured a glass of water and sat down, and only after drinking it did he speak: "The mother concubine is making trouble like this, and the imperial uncle will leave sooner or later." "I really don't understand what the mother concubine is messing with, and where Ku'er offended her, she must be put to death.
Ku'er didn't think about this problem, she remembered that they quarreled because of the princess, and she didn't want to mention this person. When her father left, she was also leaving, and went back inside to continue to pack up the clothes that had not been put away.
"Young master, the princess is here." Qiu Ju came in to report.
The water boat glanced at Ku'er who was cleaning up things inside, bowed his head slightly, and turned around with a trace of bitterness in his eyes before he slowly spoke: "Please come in, princess." ”
The princess came in, her face still had some traces of weakness, but she still smiled: "Cousin, Sister Ku'er is here, Su'er is sorry for yesterday's incident and Sister Ku'er." ”
The waterboat got up and asked the princess to sit down, looked at Qiu Ju and said, "Go make a pot of tea for the princess." In his eyes, the princess was a child who had not yet grown up, and she didn't know about it, it was an ordinary reaction of a person. took the teapot in Qiu Ju's hand and poured it for her: "The princess is serious." ”
Ku'er came out with a faint smile: "Ku'er greets the princess." ”
The princess got up and grabbed Ku'er's hand and helped her up: "Sister Ku'er can't help it, today I am here to apologize to Sister Ku'er, yesterday's incident was my sister's fault, my sister is a down-to-earth person, how could she do such a thing." ”
Ku'er pulled out his hand without a trace, but the waterboat could see clearly, Ku'er was not a harsh person, but many things he did this time were unexpected. He doesn't like such bitterness, and even some annoys it.
Ku'er lowered her head, didn't see the displeasure in the eyes of the water boat, and said in a low voice: "The princess is serious, how dare a maid in Ku'er let the princess apologize." ”
"Bitter." The water boat suddenly spoke, and there was already a reproach in his voice, "The princess is kind enough to apologize to you, why should you do this." ”
Ku'er listened to the reproach of the water boat, clasped her hands together, and she slowly spoke: "Ku'er has offended a lot, and I ask the princess to atone for her sins." ”
Shen Ruosu hurriedly helped her up, and said as if displeased: "What's wrong with Sister Ku'er, cousin, you are too strict." ”
Chunhua came in with the water housekeeper, and after greeting the princess and the little prince, she looked at Ku'er: "The emperor is waiting for Ku'er in the back mountain, let you go now." ”
Ku'er nodded slightly and left with the housekeeper.
The hand holding the water cup tightened slightly, and the emperor's attention to Ku'er seemed to be too much.
The princess looked at the waterboat and took a sip of tea elegantly: "This bitter sister is really a good life, my father has never treated my mother like this in these years." "If her father really likes Ku'er, it's too late for her to be happy, anyway, her mother is not loved by her father, even if only her mother is a concubine in the palace.
The waterboat leaned against his head and didn't speak, but his heart was turbulent, he knew that he wanted to believe Ku'er, but what Ku'er had done recently was annoying him, for what?
When Ku'er arrived at the back mountain, only the emperor stood there. Looking at her father's back, she almost forgot everything before she was three years old, if it weren't for the fact that he was the emperor, maybe she wouldn't recognize this as her father.
The emperor turned around and saw Ku'er: "Ku'er is here." "Help her up before the bitter child bows," I have said many times, this person is not there, this set of false etiquette is forgotten. ”
"Your Majesty." Ku'er got up and let the emperor hold his hand, just like when he was a child.
The emperor looked at this back mountain, and what he was going to say for a while might be unfair to the child, but he still had to say: "Ku'er, I know that it is unfair to you to say these things, but I still hope that you can leave the palace." ”
Ku'er's mind was blank for a moment, and she looked up at the emperor with some horror, this father and emperor who she had been thinking about for more than ten years.
The emperor was shocked by the pain in her eyes, he didn't know how desperate Lu Dao was for a daughter, let alone that Lu Dao was such a request, he almost lost his daughter completely.
Ku'er suppressed the pain in her heart, otherwise tears slipped down: "Did the emperor say this to Ku'er for the princess?" Does the emperor also think that Ku'er has blocked the way for the princess to marry into the palace? ”
"......" Listening to her trembling voice, the emperor suddenly regretted what he had just said.
Ku'er smiled bitterly, the princess was afraid that she would put herself and death if she blocked the princess's way, and even her father was afraid that she would block the princess's way and asked her to leave the palace. She bowed her head and blessed herself: "Please rest assured, after the emperor leaves the palace on the other day, Ku'er will leave." Ku'er still has something to do, retire first. She turned to leave, she didn't know how to face this father.
"Ku'er......" He stretched out his hand, but he only grasped the air, and his heart suddenly hurt so badly, as if something was beginning to withdraw from his body.
Ku'er ran all the way to the bottom of the waterfall, and the whole person stood in the waterfall: "Tian......" She knelt inside.
Huang Fusheng put away the folding fan and stood silently behind her, he had been following her since she came out of the waterboat just now, and he also heard what the emperor had just said.
Squatted down and put one hand on her shoulder to comfort: "Xia'er." ”
Ku'er turned around and threw herself into his arms, crying out the fear and heartache of these days.
Huang Fusheng let her cry, his eyes were a little far-reaching. Patting her on the back: "Xia'er, leave here with your brother, we still have our things to do." ”
Standing not far away, the water boatman was leaking green tendons, and the man was a fan boy, even if he turned to ashes, he knew it.
When Ku'er went back, the sun had already set, and there was no one in the yard when she went back, and when she heard the sound, she walked to the back. Leaning on the tree and watching where the young master and the princess chanted poems against each other, they are really a pair of beautiful people, aren't they? As long as the young master is good to the princess, she doesn't seem to have a reason to harm people, even if she is harsh, she is only to her subordinates. And he is just a person whose hands are about to be stained with blood. Thinking like this, I seemed to be relieved, and turned around and left here.
The waterboat looked back at the person who left, his eyes were far-reaching, and he just left?
"Cousin." After Shen Ruosu finished writing, she looked at her cousin and smiled. She also saw the bitterness, and it seemed that her cousin didn't have to be her.
The water boat came back to her senses and looked at the pair she wrote: "The princess is very good at writing, Qiu Ju, send the princess back first, it's getting late, I'm afraid that the concubine will be in a hurry." With that, he turned and left the gazebo.
Shen Ruosu angrily threw away the brush in his hand, wasn't it that the girl who was bitter was back, he couldn't wait to leave.
The waterboat returned to the room without bitterness, and went to the kitchen where she was cooking dinner, and the wet clothes had been changed.
Ku'er looked up and smiled: "I'm back, I'm still thinking about whether you can come back when I'm done cooking." ”
The waterboat turned and went back to his room, he was afraid that he would be angry with him if he couldn't help it.
The smile fell, and he was speechless to himself now. Sighing slightly, he continued to cook, and there were no days left, and the patience passed.
The waterboat was lying on the bed, and the afternoon scene lingered, and he suddenly got up and went outside.
The water steward looked at the young master in his room, and didn't understand why he suddenly came to ask Ku'er a question: "Ku'er naturally has a family, and when I bought her, her brother was seriously ill, so I bought Ku'er with white and silver." ”
"Did you say a deadline when you bought Ku Child?" He thought of Sister Liuyue, Sister Liuyue was sold into the palace for fifteen years, what about the bitterness?
"There is no time limit, Ku'er will not be a slave in the palace, and her brother will come back to redeem her."
Come back to ransom her? Come back and ransom her! Could it be that the fan boy is her brother, so: "But the biological eldest brother?" ”
The water steward looked at his young master puzzled, naturally he was not a brother and sister, but he couldn't say this in the palace: "It should be, when I saw their brother and sister, I was in a broken temple in Kyoto, and Ku'er has always called that person's brother." ”
Yes, he didn't want the word "yes". Turned to leave: "I know Uncle Shui." He hurried back to the waterboat house, and was bumping into the bitter child who was about to get out.
Ku'er frowned: "Where have you been?" Qiu Ju Chunhua and I have been looking for you for a long time. ”
The water boat coughed: "Am I the young master or are you the young master, do you talk to the young master like this?" Eat and eat. ”
Ku'er was eager to slap it in the back, they seemed to be back to the past, but everyone knew that something had changed.
The waterboat was always watching the bitter children when he was eating, and he didn't know how to say this matter. helped her pick up the vegetables and put them in the bowl: "Ku'er, you have been in the palace for more than ten years, I remember you said that you still have a brother, right?" ”
Ku'er nodded at him, puzzled why he asked this, lowered his head and continued to eat: "Well, there is also a cousin." ”
Cousin? Cousin! The water boat suddenly felt that his cousin and cousin were the most unreliable. first had an inexplicable marriage with her cousin, and now she has a cousin. And it was a man who was not much different from himself, and he spoke: "When will your cousin come back." ”
Ku'er's heart tightened, did she want to let herself go? She lowered her head to hide the redness in her eyes: "Come on, my cousin said that he would come back to redeem me when he has some money." ”
It's already back, isn't it? He sneered in his heart, and his bitter son had learned to deceive himself. I didn't want to speak, but I said it anyway: "You're leaving?" ”
Ku'er paused before speaking: "Yes, I will leave when my cousin comes back, and it just so happens that the marriage between the young master and the princess is also close, and the princess can take care of the young master when Ku'er is gone, and Ku'er is also relieved." ”
The waterboat put down her chopsticks, a little annoyed, she wished she was marrying the princess. He flew with that cousin, and he didn't believe that he couldn't keep her.
