Chapter 406: Departure for Hengyang (Part I)
"Even the deep-rooted Ling family is like this, if it is replaced by the prince, I am afraid it will be more than that." Yukihime wrapped herself in a thin blanket, that is, her long hair was untied at her knees, and she fell down, and a deep-contoured face was set against the candlelight, a different exotic style. "Yingsleeve, don't you think it's terrible when you think of this, could it be that Bai Jingyin has some kind of spell to hide them in the dark, staring at Ling Xiang's every move, otherwise, how can it be like evaporating from the world to search for nothing. If that's the case, then what we do won't escape her eyes? ”
"Niangniang is not a person who likes to think wildly, why did she start to have these thoughts."
Sleeves sit beside Yukihime,
In a foreign country, only the two of them can really talk.
"The tree is a big move, the Ling family is proud of the palace high, and the imperial concubine is a low-key character who doesn't know how to be restrained, so she will be caught. Since the mother entered the palace, she has been dancing with long sleeves, avoiding those disputes, and pretending to be attached to the imperial concubine, which will never attract people's attention. ”
"Since the day I came to Daqi, I have known that if I want to be the eyes of the prince in the palace, I must first stand in this cage. You don't have to be too spoiled and jealous, but everything big and small has to be touched. ”
Yukihime's tone of voice was flat,
But only those who know her best know how many waves are hidden behind this blandness.
Every time Niangniang mentioned the prince, she had such an expression, she was clearly smiling, but it made the slave and maid feel uncomfortable when she looked at it. Niangniang's hard work, if the prince can also know like a slave, how good it would be. ”
Yukihime leaned against Yingsleeve's body,
"Whether you know or don't know, what's the difference and what changes." Looking at an agate hollow gold bracelet on her wrist, she usually never took it out, just because it was a gift from Prince Rong before leaving, saying that the cinnabar red color was the most flattering to her. "Yingsleeve, do you know who I envy the most now?"
"Is it the first princess?"
Yukihime shook her head,
"The princess is Prince Rong's favorite woman, and she must be the best woman in the world, I can't even deserve envy."
Yukihime has always been proud, but only at this time she is almost inferior.
"Those who are still alive, I am afraid that the only one who can envy me is the county lord of Anping." It seemed to be talking, and it seemed to whisper: "Do you know Yingsleeve, I received a letter from the prince a few days ago, and the prince also heard the rumors of the county lord and Ling Yu Guifei in Dongli, in fact, anyone with a discerning eye knows that if the county lord can really marry him, then the prince is beneficial and harmless, after all, the prince needs Ling Xiang's strength in the court." But the prince didn't want to think about it, and firmly asked me to find out about this matter and try to stop it, for fear that the Ling family approached the county lord because he had a plan, and between the lines, he just didn't want the county lord to sacrifice himself for the right. ”
Speaking of which,
Yukihime took a deep breath,
The tone reveals endless exhaustion and sadness,
"The prince loves his daughter very much, and he is unwilling to sacrifice the county lord to marry a person who is not a good match; I am willing to sacrifice myself to live in a golden cage in a foreign land, in front of a restless man, intriguing with his other concubines day and day, and living in conspiracy and calculation. I am willing to do this, but I also have extravagant hopes and hope that the prince will have a little bit of reluctance or pity. ”
She held the hand of Yingsleeve, cold as ice.
"Did you say that the prince has it?"
Xue Ji was bitter in her heart, but Ying Sleeve couldn't hold back any longer, tears swirling in her eyes:
"Yes, it will be, all this that Niangniang has done, the prince will definitely see it in his eyes and think of Niangniang's goodness."
Hearing this,
Yukihime finally smiled.
Slowly close your eyes,
Muttered:
"If that's the case, it would be good......"
Since ancient times, sorrow and loneliness are like the laurel tree under the palace wall, blooming silently, allowing the fragrance to fill the entire imperial city.
***
When the sky was bright, even the white of the fish belly on the horizon was not revealed, and a man and a horse galloped from the direction of the palace.
The vendor who had always arrived first on the long street, carrying the burden of wontons, yawned, and felt a gust of wind and the sound of horses' hooves passing by, and almost blew off the hat on his head.
When you open your eyes and look,
and only one of them,
For a while, it was unclear whether what Fang had just heard and felt was real or a dream that he hadn't fully woken up.
"Knock knock."
The knock on the door startled the jackdaws and the dogs began to bark.
After a while, the door was opened, and a sleepy-eyed little guy with impatience written on his face popped out of it: "Who, what kind of fuss are you making early in the morning, this is the Governor's Palace, and you don't open your eyes - Gui, Guifei Niangniang?!" ”
After seeing the person clearly,
The little fellow was frightened by a spirit,
The eyeballs almost burst out.
I saw Bai Jingyin wearing a crimson narrow-sleeved shirt, holding a capable bun, standing under the dim lantern with a bright look, his eyes brighter than the stars in the clear sky on a summer night.
"You also know that I am a concubine, and I am not some evil spirit, how can I be scared like this."
Bai Jingyin said with a playful smile.
The little guy shook his head,
Sober yourself up,
"It's the villain who has no rules, so why don't you have to be inside, inside, please?"
The tone is very uncertain, this matter is indeed difficult to do, after all, the other party is the emperor's concubine, whether it is according to the monarch or the man or woman, he should avoid suspicion, and it is not in accordance with the rules to let the concubine enter the mansion of the foreign minister; But it was cold in the middle of autumn, and it didn't seem like a matter for the dignified concubine to wait outside the door.
"What's wrong, but something's wrong."
This voice is somewhat familiar when you hear it,
Bai Jingyin walked around the little house, and really saw Shao Jingyi's attendant, Chu Zhao, who was carrying a lantern while arranging his clothes, as if he had just been woken up from his sleep.
"Miss?"
After seeing the initiator of the noisy early morning, Chu Zhao and the little guy reacted in general, and almost thought that they were in a daze and hallucinated.
Or, to say that even as a hallucination, it's a little too outrageous.
How similar is this situation and the Shangyuan Festival......
"Chu Zhao, you came just in time, hurry up and call your adults to wake me up, don't lie in bed, the sun is drying your butt!" After Bai Jingyin said hello, he urged impatiently.
Chu Zhao and Xiaowu: "......"
Tacitly looked up at the dark sky,
Where does the sun come from,
Not even the moon.
"Miss, wait a minute, I'll go and ask the major general."
"Lord Chu, is it possible, just let Niangniang stand here and blow the cool breeze." The little guy covered his mouth and reminded Chu Zhao in his ear.
"Yes."
But in the end, if you are called 'adult', you must also be able to afford this title. Chu Zhao touched his chin and thought for a while, and suddenly had an idea.
