Volume 1: The Palace's Fortune Chapter 16: The Water Spilled by the Married Daughter
Lu Ziyue was lying on the soft collapse, and the soft collapse in her room was not far from the door, so she listened to everything Mu Hua and Xiao Qi said just now.
Involuntarily bent her knees, hugged her arms tightly, buried her head in, and her eyes had a sour feeling.
The warm liquid flowed out of it, and instead of sliding down her cheeks, it fell directly onto her skirt, and tears soaked a large piece of fabric.
She didn't know when she started to be so weak, she would cry from time to time, and when someone said a bad word or two about herself, tears would come out of her eyes.
She may not know it herself, but she is already crying.
Lu Ziyue missed Ah Pei, she had never missed someone so much.
In the past five years, he has always regarded Shen Xie as the center of his life, and he has revolved around him alone.
didn't see her status clearly as a princess who married from afar.
When I was in the boudoir, I secretly looked at the scripts outside the palace, and when I saw that the daughters who married far away had been wronged by their in-laws' family and had to endure it alone, I was still indignant for them.
Thinking about why they didn't tell the family about the grievances, I now understand that the water spilled by the married daughter, not to mention that they are thousands of miles away from the family.
She wanted to hold back her tears as hard as she could, not wanting others to see her red and swollen eyes.
But I can't help it anyway.
There was a sound of someone talking outside, and Mu Hua and they were back.
"The princess just rested, she and the princess just came back from outside and don't seem to be in a good mood, if you go to disturb now, maybe the princess will lose her temper."
Mu Hua looked at Xiao Qi, who was holding a plate of pastries in his hand, and didn't approve of her going in to find Lu Ziyue.
Xiao Qi didn't have so many worries about her: "I just went in to say hello to the princess, Sister Mu Hua, I have come today, and according to the rules, I must meet the princess, if I don't go today, others will say that I have no rules in the future." ”
After Xiao Qi finished speaking, he looked at the fragrant pastry in her hand again, and said with a smile: "What's more, I have already asked the people in the small kitchen, and they said that the princess's favorite thing to eat is this wooden cake. ”
Mu Hua knew that she did everything on weekdays, so she had nothing to say.
"Then when you wait a while to go in, you must pay attention to your words, try to come out as quickly as possible, and say more wrong."
After Mu Hua finished speaking, she stepped forward and knocked on the door, and the tone of her voice returned to her previous respectful and polite tone.
"The princess is asleep? The little seven girls who were serving beside the prince were ordered to come over to take care of the princess, and they came to see you today. ”
Mu Hua explained Xiao Qi's identity and the reason for coming over at one time.
Hearing this, Lu Ziyue wiped away his tears with his sleeve, and then wiped the corners of his eyes fiercely, although they were more red than before, but at least they were not so embarrassed.
She straightened her clothes, and then said angrily, "Come in." ”
Mu Hua heard that the people inside agreed, so he pushed the door open and let Xiao Qi in.
After Xiao Qi entered the door, he held the wooden cake, and at a glance saw Lu Ziyue sitting on the soft couch wearing a pink dress.
Pink is delicate, the most test of people's skin color and appearance, if a woman is not very beautiful, the complexion is not white, then wearing clothes of this color, it will obviously be smiling and generous.
But Lu Ziyue is obviously not such a person, when she was still in the Great Yue Kingdom, she was already a beauty who was famous in the Three Kingdoms.
All kinds of gorgeous clothes were worn on her body, but they were not as beautiful as her face.
Even today, with all the lead washed away, a plain face, and unkempt hair, her beauty still does not diminish in the slightest.
Xiao Qi smiled: "Xiao Qi has seen the princess Niangniang, and I wish the princess Niangniang good health." ”
"Do you look like I'm in good health?"
Lu Ziyue raised her somewhat pale face, stared at Xiao Qi, looked at her smiling appearance, and suddenly burst out laughing.
"The prince just told me to let the little seventh girl come over to accompany me for a few days, I thought that the little seventh girl would come tomorrow, but I didn't expect that you would move so fast?"
After she finished speaking, she held her chin with her right hand and stared at Xiao Qi: "I once heard that Xiao Qi is also from a famous family, but I don't know why I am serving by the prince's side, counting the days, Xiao Qi girl has been by the prince's side for three or four years." ”
Lu Ziyue is now looking at Shen Guo's people who are a little unpleasant, not to mention this Xiao Qi, who has always been by Shen Xie's side and has very good comments in all aspects.
Xiao Qi nodded, she was still half bent over, but she put the wooden cake in her hand on the table next to her: "It is true that I have been by the side of the prince for three or four years, as for the Xiao Qi family, the brother used to be the guard of the prince, and in an assassination, the brother died in order to protect the prince." ”
When Xiao Qi said this, his eyes involuntarily revealed a trace of sadness: "At that time, Xiao Qi was still young, and when others told me that my brother would never come back, Xiao Qi didn't want to believe it until the prince came to Xiao Qi's house that day. ”
"The prince told me at that time that my brother died because he protected him, so he had the obligation to raise me, and he also told me that he wanted me to live in the regent's palace, although Xiao Qi was only eleven years old at that time, although I didn't understand why such a handsome person wanted to raise Xiao Qi, but I really understood that my brother would never come back."
When she said this, her eyes couldn't help but look at the wooden cake on the side, with a little nostalgia in her eyes: "The princess may have forgotten, when Xiao Qi just came in, the princess also said to Xiao Qi that to forget all the sadness, people always have to look forward, maybe sadness is followed by happiness, and even if you can't get happiness, at least, you have already gotten rid of the previous sadness." ”
She picked up the steaming wooden cake, straightened up, and approached Lu Ziyue: "Xiao Qi knows that the princess has been in a bad mood recently, but what happened has happened, and we have no way to change it, not to mention that the princess will have to change his identity in a few days, and the princess will become the most noble woman in the world, so why not live a good life with the prince?" ”
"You're here to be a lobbyist for him, aren't you?" Lu Ziyue looked at Xiao Qi, she didn't see any lust for Shen Xie in her eyes, the light in her eyes was open, just looking at her straightly, very gentle.
She put down the hand holding her chin and rubbed her eyebrows: "Xiao Qi, the matter between me and the prince is very complicated, and I can't say a word or two, but there is one thing I hope you understand, no matter what, what separates me and the prince is the enmity of the country, and it is very likely that this hatred will evolve into the enmity of killing the husband and mother." ”
Xiao Qi didn't expect things to evolve to such a serious level, she pursed her lips: "Princess, there may be room for things to turn around." ”
"You tell me how to turn around?" Her eyes became sour again, "Some things are not as simple as you and I think, Xiao Qi, maybe I can understand that the fall of the Great Yue Kingdom has little to do with your prince, but I can't accept it, I will become his queen in the future, and when I obviously know that the two of us have a grudge against the country, I will also become his queen and accompany him to reign in the world." ”
Turning his head sideways, he let a tear slide down his cheek: "Do you know why I like to eat mulberry cake so much?" The mulberry flower is the national flower of the Dayue country, every time the flowers bloom, the country is full of the fragrance of the mulberry flowers, all the women of the Dayue country will pick off the petals to make a sachet when the flowers bloom the most brilliantly, and the fragrance of the sachet flowers concocted by the secret method can last until the second year, but in our country, no one will make the mulberry cake into food to eat. ”
After Lu Ziyue wiped away his tears, he turned to look at Huang Chengcheng's pastry and sighed: "Shen Guo also has wooden flowers, but your wooden flowers are rarely used to make sachets, they are all used for consumption." ”
"The customs and habits of the two countries are different, if the princess likes to make sachets of woody flowers, the people below will take care of all the things for the princess."
Xiao Qi knew that Lu Ziyue was nostalgic for her hometown, but now that the Great Yue Kingdom was destroyed, it was impossible for her to go back for the rest of her life.
Lu Ziyue shook his head: "Do you think this is necessary?" The sachets of your country and the sachets of our country have different meanings, and I have said so many things to you today, just to hope that you can understand that when people trust each other, the distance is very small, but when the belief between them is annihilated, the distance is wider than the Milky Way in the sky. ”
Xiao Qi didn't understand much, but he could probably guess the meaning of her words, it seems that the princess has completely lost trust in the prince, maybe the biggest problem between the two of them is not the collapse of the country, but mutual distrust and mutual suspicion based on this matter.
Or rather, it is related to the humiliation and suffering suffered by the emperor and empress of the Great Yue Kingdom who are still in prison today.
At this point, Xiao Qi had nothing to say, she put the plate of pastries on the table next to the soft couch, and Lu Ziyue could reach out to get it when she wanted to eat it.
She was blessed: "Xiao Qi retired first, and guarded the princess outside, if the princess has anything, although she can talk to Xiao Qi, within the scope of what Xiao Qi can do, try to meet the princess's requirements." ”
When she finished speaking, she slowly stepped back, and closed the door as she left.
Lu Ziyue was the only one left in the spacious room, she stretched out her hand and took a piece of pastry on the top, perhaps because it had just come out of the pot, this pastry was still soft.
She suddenly had the feeling of wanting to crush the pastry.
Lu Ziyue didn't stop the impulse in her heart, she put the piece of pastry in the palm of her hand, and the palm of her hand slowly closed, and soon, the pieces of pastry leaked out of her fingers.
It's just that there is a strange feeling in the palm of the hand, as if it is holding something sharp and angular tightly.
