Chapter X. 4
"Sister Yuzhu, why are you doing this?" Shangguan Beitang asked anxiously in his heart.
"The prince doesn't have to persuade me, Yuzhu has made up his mind and will never change." Yuzhu said stubbornly.
"Miss Yuzhu, I have admired the girl for a long time, and I want to hire you as my wife. I also understand in my heart that although the girl is a subordinate, she is taken care of by the prince in the palace and lives the life of a young lady. Today, I, Xiao Yiqing, swear here, although my Xiao family is not as generous as the palace, I can let the girl have fine clothes and food, but as long as I Xiao Yiqing has a mouthful of soup to drink, I will definitely be able to give the girl a bite to eat. I will not let the girl freeze and starve and suffer half a grievance. Xiao Yiqing said sincerely.
Yuzhu was very moved when she heard this, but she knew what she had to do and what she could do. She can only bury this touch, this love deep in her heart, and don't let it take root.
She got up slowly, bowed to Xiao Yiqing, and said, "I miss Yuzhu as a maidservant, and it is Yuzhu's luck to be able to get the love of my son in this life." It's just that Yuzhu is a person from the Beixuan Palace, and he only recognizes the prince as a master in this life, and he can't marry someone else. ”
"Sister Yuzhu, you, this king knows that you like Lord Xiao in your heart, so he agreed to Lord Xiao to come to the mansion to hire, why do you regret it now?" Shangguan Beitang asked again.
"Lord Wang, Yuzhu didn't mean to embarrass the prince, it's just that Yuzhu found out that I couldn't leave the Beixuan Palace, this is my home, I don't want to go anywhere, I won't marry anyone in my life." Yuzhu's firmness made everyone at a loss.
"No, no, you obviously have mine in your heart, and you tell me, what you say is not true. You look at me, you look me in the eye, tell me! Xiao Yiqing stepped forward and frantically pinched Yuzhu's shoulders and yelled at her.
"You let me go." Yuzhu said in a calm tone.
"Tell me, what are you for?" Xiao Yiqing shook her.
Yuzhu couldn't control the emotions in his heart anymore, struggled to break free of Xiao Yiqing's hands, took two or three steps back, and yelled, "Why are you forcing me so much? ”
I don't know when, she actually hid a pair of scissors in her hand, at this moment, she held the scissors in one hand, tore off a strand of her hair, put the scissors against the hair, and yelled at everyone: "Don't force me again, if you force me again, I will cut this hair and become a sister-in-law." ”
"Sister Yuzhu, what are you going to do? Quick, give me the scissors. Seeing this, Shangguan Beitang hurriedly said.
"Yuzhu, calm down. Don't be impulsive. Xiao Yiqing was also taken aback by this. He looked at the sharp scissors in Yuzhu's hand and was very worried.
"Good sister, give me the scissors." The north hall of the door tentatively stepped forward.
"No, Lord Wang, you promised Yuzhu not to give Yuzhu to others. I don't want to marry into the Xiao Mansion. Yuzhu stubbornly took two steps back.
"Okay, I promise you, we won't marry, I'll promise you everything. You quickly put the scissors down. Shangguan Beitang said.
"You told him to go, I don't want to see him." Yuzhu pointed at Xiao Yiqing with his eyes.
"Okay, I'll tell him to go." Shangguan Beitang followed her words.
Then he turned to look at Xiao Yiqing and said, "Lord Xiao, why don't you go back first, and then I will persuade her, maybe she will change her mind." ”
Xiao Yiqing had no other way, so he had to do it according to Shangguan Beitang's wishes.
He glanced at Yuzhu reluctantly and said, "Miss Yuzhu must cherish her body, Xiaosheng will come to see you another day and say goodbye." ”
"Lord, I'm leaving." Xiao Yiqing bowed to Shangguan Beitang again.
"Lord Xiao, farewell, it's rude today, if Yuzhu gets better later, this king will send someone to the mansion to inform you." Shangguan Beitang sent him out of the hall and said.
"Well, that's fine." Xiao Yiqing sighed, waved his hand to the servant carrying the two boxes of dowry, and said, "Let's go, let's go back first." ”
How did these people come here, and how did they leave the Beixuan Palace.
Yuzhu looked at Xiao Yiqing's departing back, the scissors slipped from his hands, and hot tears flowed from the corners of his eyes.
Shangguan Beitang turned around, sighed, shook his head and asked, "What exactly do you want to do?" Willingly? ”
Yuzhu sobbed and said, "The prince doesn't have to mention this matter in the future, and he doesn't have to ask more, anyway, Yuzhu will not leave the Beixuan Palace in this life." ”
In the evening, Mama Liu went to the wing room to see Yuzhu, and Yuzhu hugged her and cried again.
Mama Liu comforted: "Child, after all, Mama is sorry for you, if you want to complain, just blame me." ”
"Mama took care of me growing up, how can I blame you. If you want to blame Yuzhu's hard life, you can't enjoy the blessing of ordinary people. Yuzhu sighed.
Early the next morning, Xiao Yiqing came to the Beixuan Palace. The little guy went in to report to Shangguan Beitang.
Shangguan Beitang hurriedly invited him into the hall. He also sent someone to call Yuzhu out.
But Yuzhu refused to come out to meet him on the grounds of physical discomfort.
Xiao Yiqing had no choice, so he went to stand in front of Yuzhu's door and shouted inside: "Miss Yuzhu, Xiaosheng Xiao Yiqing has come to ask to see you." ”
There was no response for a long time, but Xiao Yiqing knew that Yuzhu was inside. So he shouted again: "If Miss Yuzhu insists on refusing to see me today, then Xiaosheng will stand here for a day, and if the girl refuses to see me in this life, then I will stand here for the rest of my life." ”
Yuzhu in the house listened to the sound outside, how could she not be touched, but now she can no longer be with Xiao Yiqing, she has to be ruthless and cut off the love thread.
Therefore, she could only wet her tears with strips of Juanpa, but she didn't dare to say a word to the outside.
She was afraid that as soon as she opened her mouth, all her previous efforts would be in vain, and she was afraid that his persistence would melt her heart little by little.
But now, how can she be worthy of his persistence and his deep affection.
The two of them were in the house like this, and one was outside the house for a long time.
In the evening, the wind and clouds between the sky and the earth suddenly changed, and the originally clear sky suddenly became covered with black clouds and heavy rain.
When Shangguan Beitang passed by the corridor, he saw Xiao Yiqing still standing there motionless under such heavy rain, and he unconsciously admired his persistence.
He hurriedly asked someone to fetch an umbrella, personally sent it to him, and said, "Brother Xiao, it's raining so heavily, it's better to go to the room to rest for a while, and wait for the rain to stop." ”
Xiao Yiqing was willing to listen to him, and said coldly: "If Miss Yuzhu insists on refusing to see me, then I will stand here for the rest of my life, and the prince will go back, I have made up my mind, and I don't need to persuade him." ”
"Hey!" Shangguan Beitang shook his head, and could only turn around and persuade the person in the room.
walked to the door and pushed Yuzhu's door, but it was locked from the inside, and he couldn't push it open.
couldn't help but be a little angry, and scolded inside: "Yuzhu, open the door!" What exactly do you want to do? ”
Yuzhu stood behind the door and listened to Shangguan Beitang's voice, so he said, "Lord Wang, go back!" You don't have to worry about it. ”
"The king told you to open the door, did you hear that?" Shangguan Beitang said.
"The prince doesn't have to come in, let's go back quickly." Yuzhu said again.
"The king wants you to open the door, do you hear? Do you dare to disobey the king's commands? Shangguan Beitang was a little annoyed.
"The prince should be Yuzhu disobey the order and not listen, as long as the prince does not get involved in this matter, Yuzhu will obey the prince's punishment after the end." Yuzhu's stubbornness is maddening.
"You, that's it, this king doesn't care about you, you can do it yourself!" Shangguan Beitang brushed his sleeves away.
Yuzhu looked outside from the crack in the window, in the stormy yard, Xiao Yiqing stood there like a pine tree.
Yuzhu's heart was melting little by little, and the longer he stood the more persistent he became, the more guilty Yuzhu felt in his heart.
Two hours have passed, and Xiao Yiqing's stubbornness has softened her heart. yes, she should have made it clear to him anyway.
She picked up an umbrella and opened the door and walked out into the courtyard. She stood in front of him with an umbrella and said, "Lord Xiao, go back!" ”
Xiao Yiqing raised her eyes to look at her, couldn't hide her joy, wiped the rain on her cheeks, and said, "Yuzhu, you came out, you are finally willing to see me." ”
Yuzhu looked at him with a still expressionless face, and said, "My lord, go back, you and I are over." We don't have to see each other again. ”
"No, it's not your true words, you obviously have me in your heart, tell me, why are you?" Xiao Yiqing grabbed her shoulders as if to crush her.
"Let me go!" Yuzhu said lightly.
"No, I'm not going to let go, you tell me, what is it for?" Xiao Yiqing said again.
"Knowing more will only increase sorrow, so why bother to find out?" Yuzhu said again.
"If you don't tell me why, I won't let go." Xiao Yiqing is also stubborn.
Yuzhu looked at him, endured the grievances and sourness in his heart, and said, "Do you really think that I am just the personal maid of the prince?"
Xiao Yiqing was stunned for a moment and asked, "What do you mean?" ”
"I grew up with the prince since I was a child, and we can be regarded as childhood sweethearts, I have served the prince for so many years, do adults believe that I am innocent with the prince?" Yuzhu looked at him and asked.
Xiao Yiqing instantly understood something, he shook his head in disbelief, and said: "No, this is impossible, King Beixuan is an upright person, if you really have a relationship with him, when I propose marriage to him, it is impossible for him to marry you." ”
"Naturally, you didn't propose marriage to him, but I served him every day, and I couldn't help it, and then I was his personal maidservant, and I had a room, and I warmed the bed, these are all things that are within my responsibility." Yuzhu's heart was cramping, but she had to endure these unspeakable words.
"Lord Xiao doesn't have to be persistent, Yuzhu is already the person of the King of Beixuan, it's not worth worrying about, please go back!" With that, Yuzhu bowed down to Xiao Yiqing, turned around and walked towards the house.
Xiao Yiqing was stunned in place, not daring to believe Yuzhu's words just now for a long time.
He let the rain hit him, and the cold wind blew him. He didn't feel the cold, he didn't feel the dampness. He didn't know if it was tears or rain that was running down his cheeks.
"Boom." A thunderclap mixed with lightning swept through the sky, "Ah!! With the sound of thunder, Xiao Yiqing looked up to the sky and roared. He longed for this thunder to fall from the sky and break him to pieces. Keep him away from this pain and panic.
He walked out of the Beixuan Palace, his hands spasmed into fists, his eyes were full of resentment, and he said in a cold voice: "Shangguan Beitang, you hypocrite who is different from the outside, if I Xiao Yiqing does not repay the hatred of taking my wife in this life, I will not be a man." ”
