Chapter VII 3
A few days later, Yuzhu was doing needlework in the wing, but he heard An Hai shouting outside the window: "Miss Yuzhu, the prince asked you to come over." ”
Yuzhu put down the needle and thread, walked out of the room and asked, "Where is the prince?" ”
"The Frontroom." An Hai replied.
"Oh, let's go!" As he spoke, Yuzhu picked up the threads stuck to his clothes and walked forward.
When I arrived in the front hall, I saw that Shangguan Beitang and Xiao Yiqing were there. Yuzhu stepped forward to ask An Dao: "Yuzhu has seen the prince and Lord Xiao. ”
I looked down and saw that Xiao Yiqing's feet were wearing the shoes that he had taken care of himself. She rejoiced in her heart. The cheeks also became slightly red.
Shangguan Beitang looked at her Chunluan's heart-warming appearance, and couldn't help but be a little funny, he joked: "This king looks at the shoes on Lord Xiao's feet very familiarly, isn't this the pair that Sister Yuzhu made a few days ago, hey, this king thought it was for me, but I didn't expect my sister to give it to others a long time ago." ”
Yuzhu was already blushing, she glared at Shangguan Beitang angrily and said, "Go, go, Lord Xiao is kind to me, what's wrong with making him a pair of shoes?" Hurry up Ming'er, I'll get you another pair. ”
"Hmph, this king is not rare, it's just that, this king still has something to do, go to the study first. Lord Xiao, you can sit a little longer. I didn't accompany it in the first place. With that, Shangguan Beitang got up and walked out.
Yuzhu didn't follow, she naturally understood that this was Shangguan Beitang, creating an opportunity for her and Xiao Yiqing to be alone.
In this Beixuan Palace, the owner is young and there are no elders in the family, so Yuzhu is naturally more open than those girls who are restrained by their parents.
In her opinion, when she meets someone she likes, she must be with him clearly. Therefore, she is not afraid of the gossip of others.
The same is true of Shangguan Beitang, in his heart, Yuzhu is a playmate and sister who has grown up with him since childhood. He himself bears the identity of the king of Beixuan, and many things are involuntary. Naturally, he hopes that Yuzhu can be happy more than anyone else.
In the evening, Shangguan Beitang estimated that Xiao Yiqing was probably gone, so he went to Yuzhu's wing room to take a stroll.
When I entered the wing, I saw Yuzhu sitting at the table doing needlework again. He asked in front of him, "Lord Xiao is gone?" ”
"Gone." Yuzhu didn't look at him either, and replied with his head down.
"Oh, when did you leave?" Shangguan Beitang asked again.
"It's been a while." Yuzhu still lowered his head, reluctant to deal with him.
Shangguan Beitang was a little confused and asked, "Good sister, what are you doing?" ”
"Don't you want a pair of shoes too? Isn't this a slave and a maid to do it for you? I don't have to pay attention to you, so you might as well go to another house! Yuzhu poked the sole of his shoe with an awl and said.
"Look at you, I'll just say that. What, take it seriously? Shangguan Beitang said with a smile.
"What the prince said, how dare the slave not be true." Yuzhu replied.
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about that." Shangguan Beitang interrupted her and asked again, "Alas, didn't Xiao Yiqing say anything to you today?" ”
"What did you say?" Yuzhu looked up at him, picked his hair with a needle, and asked in wonder.
"And what did you talk about this afternoon?" Shangguan Beitang asked again. He propped his hands on the table, jumped hard, and sat down on the table.
"I just walked around the garden and didn't say anything. What's wrong? Yuzhu asked again.
"Oh, that's fine." Shangguan Beitang nodded, "Hey, Sister Yuzhu, what do you think of this Lord Xiao?" ”
"How's that?" Yuzhu looked at him again.
"What do you think of other people?"
"I'm a little maidservant, how dare I judge the champion. What is this doing, you ask? Yuzhu said again.
Shangguan Beitang looked at her and said with a smile: "That's it, since you don't want to say it, then the king won't ask." Today, Xiao Yiqing also asked this king, I want to ask me to promise you to him. Since Sister Yuzhu has no intention of him, then the king will not be involved in this matter, and I will call Uncle Qin back to him early tomorrow morning, saying that my Yuzhu has no intention of him, so that he doesn't have to think about it anymore. ”
With that, he grabbed a handful of beans on a plate, jumped off the table, walked to the jade bamboo bed in two or three steps and lay down, lifted Erlang's legs, and threw the beans into his mouth one by one.
When Yuzhu heard him say this, he put down the needle and thread in his hand, and also walked to the side of the bed and asked him, "Is that what he really said." ”
"This is still false, how can this king ever lie to you?" Shangguan Beitang said while eating beans.
"And what else does he say?" Yuzhu asked anxiously.
He also said that when he chose an auspicious day, he would send a dowry gift. What do you think of this? ”
"Yuzhu is all up to the prince." Hearing this, Yuzhu blushed and lowered his head and said.
Shangguan Beitang squinted at her, and said, "Don't worry, Sister Yuzhu, this king will not force you, if you don't want to, this king will send someone back to him."
Yuzhu pinched Juan Pa, thought for a while and said: "I'm afraid it's not good for him to be like this, after all, he is now a celebrity around the emperor, today's champion, why should the prince blame him for Yuzhu." ”
Shangguan Beitang understood Yuzhu's thoughts very well, but he didn't pierce Yuzhu's words, but said according to her meaning: "Hmph, even if he is the champion, I want to see how he can help my Beixuan Palace." Don't worry, Sister Yuzhu, whatever this king says will not let you suffer the slightest grievance. ”
"Oh, lord." Yuzhu finally couldn't hold his breath anymore, and stretched out his hand to shake Shangguan Beitang's body.
Originally, he shook it casually, but at this moment, Shangguan Beitang was eating beans, and when she shook them, the beans just threw them into his mouth, and they stuck in his throat, and suddenly he couldn't speak, and he coughed fiercely.
"Water, water. Cough, cough, cough. Shangguan Beitang said with difficulty.
Seeing this, Yuzhu hurriedly brought him a glass of water, Shangguan Beitang drank it and said: "Alas, it seems that the female university is not staying, if I stop it again, you are afraid that you will kill me." ”
"Go, go, it's all like this, don't forget to tease me, hurry up and drink your water." Yuzhu gave him a blank look and said.
"Don't worry. Sister Yuzhu, you are my dearest person in this world, as long as my sister is willing, I Shangguan Beitang will definitely do it for you. Shangguan Beitang looked at Yuzhu and said solemnly.
Yuzhu lowered his head and muttered: "He is a champion master, but I'm afraid that I can't climb a servant girl."
"Sister, why do you talk like this, you have been in the palace all these years, when will I be a servant girl." Shangguan Beitang said.
"Although I am half a master in the palace, I know that this is the great grace of the prince, but I am still a slave after all." Yuzhu said again.
"I am a person who goes out of the Beixuan Palace, I see who dares to be a servant, Sister Yuzhu don't worry, this king has already thought about it for you, and when you get married, you will marry the specifications of the county lord." Shangguan Beitang said again.
When Yuzhu heard this, he hurriedly knelt down in front of Shangguan Beitang, and said with a little crying voice: "It is Yuzhu's luck that the slave can meet such a good master as the prince in this life. ”
Shangguan Beitang hurriedly helped her up, let her sit on the edge of the bed and said: "Sister Yuzhu, why do you have to do this big gift, you are free to grow up with me, Beitang is all taken care of by my sister, and when my sister gets married, Beitang naturally wants to give my sister the best dowry." ”
Shangguan Beitang touched Yuzhu's hand and said: "Besides, Beishang is bound by his identity in this life, and I am afraid that I will not be able to get married, so you naturally want to walk out of the Beixuan Mansion on my behalf."
"Lord Wang." Yuzhu was grateful when he heard this, and looked at him speechless for a long time.
Shangguan Beitang was also excited in his heart, he picked up a handkerchief to wipe the tears on Yuzhu's cheeks, and said, "Okay, okay, what are you crying about? Haven't you been married yet? ”
Besides, since this Concubine Rong was kicked out of the banquet by the emperor that day, she stayed alone in her palace for several days. The emperor didn't come to see her either.
She thought hard about herself, why the emperor would be so good to Shangguan Beitang.
Two days ago, the eunuch he sent to Liu Yan, who was in charge of Chatai Hospital, came back to report that Liu Yan sent to Kang Qiandian that day to take a medicine to replenish qi and invigorate blood, which was mostly used for women's monthly letter irregularities, but it didn't hurt for men to take it, after all, it was just some tonics.
This incident couldn't help but make her suspicious, could it be that the emperor was unwell. Or is it that the King of the North Spinning is unwell.
Concubine Rong thought so, and then recalled the scene when the emperor met her at that time.
At that time, not long after she entered the palace, she accidentally broke the emperor's white porcelain vase in the imperial garden. At that time, some people said that she looked a little like the king of Beixuan, and the emperor spared her.
Then she was taken as a concubine, and that night she went to serve with joy, and there were thousands of women in the palace, and she was one of the lucky ones, and won the favor of His Majesty.
When she sat on the dragon couch and waited for His Majesty to arrive, she was happy and shy in her heart.
At last, she looked forward to the coming of the monarch and stood by her side. At that time, she was just a frizzy little girl, and she didn't dare to look up at him.
After a long time, she felt a hand touch her cheek, and then she lifted her chin, looked at her carefully for a long time, and then said, "After all, you are not her." ”
"Who?" She asked cautiously.
Dugu Yanxiang snorted coldly and said, "You go and sleep on that deck chair!" ”
"But," her voice was small, cautious.
Dugu Yanxiang didn't speak, but turned his head and glared at her fiercely.
She didn't dare to say anything more, so she had to walk to the chaise longue in her bright red wedding dress.
At that moment, she didn't know how she walked over, she just felt that her legs were heavy, heavy. It's like being mercilessly plunged into the abyss by something.
Although after that night, Dugu Yanxiang treated him very well on the surface, and always pretended to love her very much in front of people. She became the only favorite concubine in this palace.
But only he knew the bitterness in his heart, and many nights when the emperor stayed in her palace were the same as before.
He always looked at her as if he couldn't get enough, and then muttered, "After all, you're not her." Then, of course, let her go to the recliner next to her to rest.
Finally one time, she couldn't hold back anymore. She thought about it for a long time, and finally thought that maybe she was accepted as a concubine because she looked similar to King Beixuan.
Looking at His Majesty's usual attitude towards the Beixuan King, it is not enough to depict the grace.
In order to find out, one night, she finally mustered up the courage to find a men's dress to wear, and when the emperor came up, sure enough, she saw something strange in the emperor's eyes.
Looking at her, her eyes also became full of autumn waves, tender like water.
