Chapter Eighty-Five: Wish-Fulfillment
After returning from Wang Yushi's house a few days ago, Jiang Aoxue fell into a detailed melancholy again, she never knew that it was so uncomfortable to like someone, and it was so joyful.
A few days ago, it rained, and the spring flowers outside the window completely withered, and only a few petals hung miserably on the branches, as if to complain about the ruthlessness of this summer.
But on the other hand, the trees on the side are densely growing, and the tall and short shrubs almost completely cover the wall.
Thinking about letting the gardener take care of the plants in a few days, Jiang Aoxue lowered her head and traced the thin plum blossoms, and she had an unfinished gown in her hand.
The black fabric was half-unfolded, and it seemed to be about to take shape, but now it was thrown aside by the owner, and it seemed that he didn't care at all.
However, even if Jiang Aoxue wanted to continue to practice needles, Wanyun would not allow it.
Wanyun watched Jiang Aoxue always sew that dress day and night, half distressed and half annoyed, and must pressure Jiang Aoxue to do something else.
In fact, this move is much beyond the scope of the maid's authority, but Jiang Aoxue has never been demanding of her subordinates because of this, and besides, Wanyun is also for her good, so it is impossible for her to say anything.
I had no choice but to put down the needle and thread and obediently practice calligraphy at the table.
It's just that the attention of the delicate person is obviously not on the notebook in front of her, she glances at the clothes around her from time to time, and outlines the appearance of Baili Minghui wearing clothes in her heart, and her brows are wrinkled from time to time, which must be because the cuffs or the corners of the clothes are too loose.
It's a pity that the clothes are at hand, but people can't move, so the movements of the hands are even more unorganized.
When Jiang Aoxue came back to her senses, she blushed when she looked at the calligraphy in front of her.
"Princess!" Evening clouds knocked on the door outside.
"Come in." Jiang Aoxue said as she rolled up the paper in front of her and threw it under the desk, where is the serious plum blossom on the paper, it is clearly a portrait of a heroic man, as for the identity, it is self-evident.
Wanyun walked in with a greeting post, and when she saw Jiang Aoxue, she asked strangely, "Princess, why is your face so red, is it because of the cold?" You'll have to close the windows quickly. ”
As he spoke, Wanyun stepped forward to close the window, and when he looked back, he touched Jiang Aoxue's forehead: "Oh, even the ears are so red, it's terrible......"
Seeing that Wanyun was about to run out to call the doctor, Jiang Aoxue hurriedly said: "No, no, it's just raining, the weather is a little stuffy, what are you holding in your hand?" ”
Jiang Aoxue's words were clearly not credible, but hearing Jiang Aoxue's inquiry, Wanyun's attention was immediately diverted, and she put the thing in Jiang Aoxue's hand: "The princess will take a look for herself." ”
Jiang Aoxue was a little puzzled, but at this time, Yun Yan smiled at Yan Yan, it didn't seem to be a bad thing, and she looked at the prayer post in her hand curiously.
"Aoxue personally enlightened."
The handwriting is clearly the handwriting of Huanlan, who has not been contacted for a while.
The corners of Jiang Aoxue's mouth were slightly hooked, and the depressed mood that had become depressed because she had been staying in the house was like being washed by the rain, and it suddenly became fresh and bright.
She eagerly and carefully opened the post, and sure enough, it was Huanlan's invitation.
"Ao Xue, thank you for helping me solve the problem a few days ago, I thought, I'm afraid you're more depressed in the house by yourself, so we might as well go out for a walk.
It just so happens that the wish I made in the Guanyin Temple last time has not been repaid, so we might as well go together, but this time, we should be more prepared in terms of preparation. ”
After reading the post, Jiang Aoxue's eyebrows and eyes were dyed with a smile; "Wanyun, hurry up and sharpen the ink, I want to write a reply."
Wanyun responded crisply, and prepared all the letter, paper, pen and ink.
Jiang Aoxue expressed her joy in the letter, and at the same time set a day for the two to make a vow, such a thing as a vow, it is inevitable to live in the temple for a few days, so the preparation must be sufficient.
Especially after the last attack, Jiang Aoxue still has a shadow in her heart about what happened after she went out.
But it was precisely because of that incident that she and Baili Minghui became familiar from strangers, and in some ways, it can be regarded as a blessing and a curse.
"Princess?" Wan Yun saw that Jiang Aoxue suddenly became stunned halfway through writing, and couldn't help but speak.
Jiang Aoxue smiled, didn't say anything, wrote the letter, and asked Wanyun to hand it over to the little guy waiting at the door.
After Wanyun left, she pushed open the window, and the damp air poured in, and her heart calmed down, sitting in front of the window, just quietly holding her cheeks and looking into the distance, it seemed that it was already the most beautiful thing in the world.
This time, Huanlan's invitation was exactly what she wanted, but from the post, Jiang Aoxue seemed to feel a trace of alienation.
It seems that after helping Huanlan last time, there was a little rust between the two.
This is also because of the problem of her identity, Jiang Aoxue couldn't help but feel a little sad, being in the emperor's house, even if it was just a princess's concubine, she seemed to have experienced the hardships of being involuntarily.
A small bird that was learning to fly fell from a tree with its wings fluttering, and fell to the ground at once, and it seemed to be very difficult to move forward.
Jiang Aoxue stood up and was about to go out, when Wanyun, who was delivering the letter, had already returned, and saw that Jiang Aoxue, who was only wearing a thin shirt, was about to go out, and hurriedly pushed her back.
"Princess, you are not in good health, you are still dressed like this, what if you get sick, by the way, your face was so red before, it must be ......"
Saying that, Wanyun got up in a hurry and pushed Jiang Aoxue to the bed.
Jiang Aoxue said helplessly while retreating: "Where is it so squeamish, just wear two more pieces, take out the blue coat in the cabinet, I want to go to the garden for a walk." ”
"But......" Wanyun was still hesitating.
"Don't go yet!" Jiang Aoxue's tone couldn't help but become serious.
"Oh." Wanyun answered and began to rummage.
Seeing the sad face on Wanyun's bunzi's face, Jiang Aoxue stretched out a hand and touched Wanyun's head: "Okay, it's just going out for a walk, besides, it's not good to always be stuffy in the room." ”
"Well, Wanyun knows." Wanyun carried Jiang Aoxue on her back, her eyes were a little moist.
Her own young lady is so good, how can she always be hurt, although she thinks so, she never reveals it in front of Jiang Aoxue, she always looks heartless, in some ways, this is also Wanyun's scheming.
It's just this scheming, but it's distressing.
Jiang Aoxue put on her outer robe, and Wanyun carefully buttoned her front placket, took a step back and looked: "Okay, this is our most beautiful princess, now the princess is traveling, avoid ahead." ”
"You!" Jiang Aoxue nodded on Wanyun's nose, "Let's go, clear the field ahead!" ”
"Great!" Wanyun made a common action in the drama, hitting the horse and moving forward, but both his hands and crotch were empty, which looked very funny.
Jiang Aoxue covered her mouth and smiled, and followed.
Before leaving, she forgot to glance out the window, the bird was still fluttering, and there seemed to be many more wounds on the feathers, Jiang Aoxue's steps were faster.
Because the rain had only stopped for a short time, the ground was very soft, and the moisture wet the corners of the skirt, and Jiang Aoxue's embroidered shoes also had some mud.
When Wanyun turned around, he saw that he didn't want Jiang Aoxue to continue to move forward, but this time Jiang Aoxue was resolute.
It stands to reason that it is just a young bird, Jiang Aoxue just let Wanyun go, but deep down in her heart she has a stubborn thought, that is, she will save it with her own hands when she sees it fall.
Because of this, no matter what Wanyun said, she didn't make it clear about her going to the garden.
In the past, Baili Minghui did not often stay in the mansion, and most of the time he trained in the frontier, so there were only a few subordinates in a huge palace.
Although after Jiang Aoxue got married, neither the number of personnel nor the buildings in the mansion were quite in line with the bearing of a palace.
It's just that Baili Minghui doesn't want to care about these things, and he even hates too many people, just for Jiang Aoxue, and he doesn't want Jiang Aoxue to be too tired, so he accepted the arrangement of the queen mother and added a lot of maids to the house.
Jiang Aoxue saw several good-looking women all the way forward, and they were all carefully selected, but she ran into a rough person like Baili Minghui.
Thinking of this, Jiang Aoxue couldn't help but laugh slightly.
Due to the lack of care in the flower beds, the plants are growing freely, except for the ones outside the window, which are very luxuriant along the way.
When they worked hard to reach their destination, their clothes were a little wet, and Wanyun stuck a branch that was slanting out to the side, and complained: "Princess, there is nothing interesting here, if you want to relax, wouldn't it be better for us to go to the lotus pond?" ”
Jiang Aoxue didn't notice Wanyun's words, she seemed to have heard the chirping of the young bird, and after passing Wanyun, Jiang Aoxue quickened her pace.
As soon as Wan Yun looked up, he found that his princess had run far away, and couldn't help but chase after him in surprise.
The young bird is not fledgling, and it is a problem to jump on the tree if it does not raise its flight first, but it is trapped while it is not there to beat wildly by itself while its parents are away.
At this time, the dead branches and leaves on the grass seemed to become the enemy of the young bird, scratching its incomplete body little by little, and the more it struggled, the more seriously it was injured.
Just then, it heard the sound of a huge creature passing by, and the struggle intensified, but to no avail.
A shadow enveloped it, and a pair of hands gently covered its body.
"You, why are you always so careless," Jiang Aoxue gently held up by the frightened bird, "If you don't cherish yourself, who else in the world will love you?" ”
The little bird naturally didn't know the meaning of Jiang Aoxue's words, so it jumped up and returned to the nest directly with the help of strength.
But this was heard by a woman on the side, she was an ordinary maid, but she had a bit of a look, but entering the house was purely an accident.
When she was bullied and hid in the grass and cried, she saw Jiang Aoxue coming in a hurry, thinking that she was embarrassed and not suitable for courtesy, so she couldn't hide, but she never thought that she would hear such a sentence.
She didn't dare to move, but her heart beat much faster.
Jiang Aoxue naturally didn't know that there was such a person hiding in the grass, she watched the birds successfully return to the nest, and left with the chattering evening clouds with confidence, the wind blew gently, and the grass blades that had fallen down stood up again, as if nothing had happened, but there seemed to be something different.
