Chapter 5 No matter how hard it is, I want to try
Seeing the cocoon again, it was already a few days later, he walked into Liuyunxuan alone in the evening, maybe it was more like he ran in to avoid something, his face was full of anxiety and panic, and when he finally found the dye who drank the medicine on the warm collapse, he suddenly pounced on it and held the dye in his arms, "You're okay, you're okay, you're okay... Cocoon kept repeating this sentence for a long time, and Dye had to keep gently patting his back to calm him down, "I'm sorry, I, I'm stuck, I, I really want to come to see you... Before he finished his series of apologies, he saw his personal officer running in, and as soon as he came in, he knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, the general went and returned, saying that he wanted to dine with the king and the concubine." When the cocoon heard this, he was stunned for a moment and ran out with the internal official.
Although the cocoon came and went like this, it was just a blink of an eye, but it made Dye have no sleepiness all night, and I don't know why, when he didn't come to see her, she didn't have any resentment, she could eat and sleep, she just wanted to recover as soon as possible and walk freely, but now that he came and apologized, she was depressed. She knows very well that he must be subject to the riveting general, the father of the Lan Guifei, Wan Niang said in the news before, the riveting general of the city controls most of the military forces, and has fought in the north and south for many years, and the war has been impressive, and all countries are very jealous of him, I heard that the queen of the first king is still the sister of the riveting general, and the indestructible position of the old prime minister in the court is also inseparable from the riveting family. Dye thought back to the expression of Concubine Lan when she came that day, she felt that the person seemed to be really jealous of herself, and she didn't know what it was for, but she was afraid that the future would not be so easy.
The cocoon didn't appear for several days, but another uninvited guest came to the courtyard of Dye, since he entered the palace, Dye had actually been waiting for him to make a move, but when Yan suddenly appeared in her palace in the middle of the night, she was still shocked. When Yan was already sitting on his own warm floor and facing him across the table, Dye remembered that there should be a minimum of hospitality, and the palace ladies seemed to have agreed, and after he walked into the courtyard, they were all gone, and Dye could only take another cup by himself and add a cup of tea to Yan. Yan took a sip, looked at her for a while, and said, "You seem to be adapting well. β
Did you also participate in that massacre, did you kill my father and brother? Dye lowered his head and lowered his eyebrows, removing the hatred in his eyes.
"I didn't expect him to like you, but it's a lot easier."
What else do you want to do, control the cocoon, you're already the actual king, aren't you?
"From now on, as long as you don't provoke Concubine Lan, she shouldn't be difficult for you, just do your duty."
What kind of performance is the duty? Left to your fingertips?
"Alright, let's rest." With that, Yan stood up and prepared to leave, "What exactly do you need me to do?" Dye still asked, but Yan didn't pause, only replied: "You'll know later." β
The next day, Dye freshened up early in the morning, and then went to Concubine Lan's Tingxiang Palace, since Yan came to remind her last night, then for the sake of herself and Cocoon to be a little better, she can still play a low-eyebrow pleasing look. Patience, Dye after layers of palace e's cynicism, Lan Guifei's deliberate cold treatment, and finally saw the owner, dye according to his palace e's etiquette to make up for evil, bowed in a proper manner, and sent a cocoon to himself in the gift, it looks like the most precious gold hairpin, and finally full of sincere repentance and apology, but also in exchange for Lan Guifei's superficial ice release suspicions, a big drama ended, when Dye returned to Liuyunxuan, it was already past lunchtime, she tossed for too long, and fell asleep on the couch.
At night, the internal officials came with the news, and the cocoon recruited all the people in the harem to go to his palace to drink and admire the moon together, which was also the first harem banquet since the cocoon inherited the throne.
Although among these beauties and ladies in the harem, he has the shortest time, but he is the most familiar with the cocoon, except for Dye and the concubine, others are either cold and complain about this king who has only been with him for one night, it is really difficult to create a harmonious atmosphere. When she came in, what she saw was that everyone was looking at the moon in twos and threes, except for the sound of Gong E serving food and wine back and forth, no one spoke, and the cocoon was expressionless and looked at the hall, like a sculpture.
Until Lan Guifei arrived, Lan Guifei deserved to be everyone's ladies, and kept talking and laughing with people from all walks of life all the way into the hospital, and then Zhang Luo everyone sat down in turn according to the title, and after greeting and drinking a few glasses of wine, he invited everyone to make a wine order, and also ordered two ladies who had been in the palace for a long time to sing, a banquet was slowly warmed up, cocoon has been sitting in the middle, from time to time with Lan Guifei's arrangement, but did not talk to other people, sat in the corner, and tried to blend himself with the night, But she could still feel the eyes of the cocoon occasionally floating, so she had to keep drinking without even raising her head, praying in her heart that Concubine Lan would not think of herself.
This night, Dye was very lucky, I don't know if the early morning weakness worked, Lan Guifei didn't pay attention to her, the banquet lasted for more than an hour, and a few people who were not strong enough to drink were helped back by Gong E one after another, Dye also wanted to leave this situation that made her nervous quickly, but as soon as she stood up, she was preempted by Lan Guifei, "It's late at night, everyone is tired, sisters, let's disperse, let the king rest early." After saying that, he got up and saluted slightly, and for a while everyone got up and saluted, and also walked outside the courtyard, dyed such an opportunity, and also got up and prepared to flee with the crowd, but before he left the courtyard, he was stopped by the cocooned officer, "Enchanting lady, the king is invited." As soon as she raised her head after hearing this, she was stunned for a moment when she was facing Lan Guifei, who was stopping not far in front of her, but Lan Guifei nodded at her slightly, and then got into the sedan chair and left.
Soon the people were gone, and the yard was colder, more deserted than it had never been.
The official took the dye into the hall and retired, dyed in the layers of bead curtains, found the cocoon who was making tea in front of the long table, as soon as the cocoon saw her coming, he stopped, motioned her to sit down, and then took his own robe to wrap her, and then sat down himself, "The water has just boiled, you have to wait." "Hmm" nodded his head.
"You must be resentful of me these days, right? I hurt you to be punished by Concubine Lan, and I haven't seen you yet. "The calloon's head was almost down on the table.
"I'm fine."
"When I was in the court that morning, General Riveting made a difficult speech in the main hall, and later followed me to the harem, accusing me of being bad to Concubine Lan, and saying that you are a fox, saying that if I spoil you again and snub Concubine Lan, he will be on the side of Qingjun, I am very afraid, for a few days, I dare not go to you again, I am afraid that he will really kill you." As she spoke, Cocoon began to cry again, "I'm so useless, I can't even protect you, Dye, what should I do?" What should I do? β
Dye sighed, pulled out a handkerchief and handed it to Cocoon, "It's okay, I understand." "There's really no sense of comfort," and what is the situation today? Dye found it useful to distract him.
Cocoon calmed down for a moment and then said: "Last night, General Riveting grabbed me and Lan Guifei to dine together, but I didn't expect Yan Xiang to come too, after Yan Xiang heard about these things, he only said that other women in the harem need to be so attentive to General Riveting, Lan Guifei was born in Jiangmen and has her own ability to lead the harem, just let everyone in the harem understand that she is the master of the harem." The water boiled, and Cocoon poured herself and Dye a cup of hot tea each, "I heard that you went to her today to ask for sin, so there is this tonight, let you stay with me, it is also her idea, in the future, when I can see you, I guess I have to agree with her." β
It turned out to be him, no wonder Concubine Lan's attitude changed so much, but why?
"The moon is indeed beautiful today," Dye thought to the bottom of his heart: "Why did he send me into the palace?" β
"Huh?" Cocoon was unexpectedly surprised, "You don't know?!" β
"I don't know, he didn't say anything, so let me just listen to his arrangement."
"I thought you were here to spy on me, but I don't care, I'm glad you're by my side."
"He, he didn't explain who he was going to spy on, and." Dye looked around at the palace: "Do you still need to be watched again?" Aren't people inside and outside here spying on you? β
Cocoon nodded helplessly: "Yes, all the people around me were arranged by him, and the internal officials, Gong'e, and those ladies and beauties are inseparable from him." β
"So, he often sends people in?" I wonder if other people have the same experience as herself.
"He sent it in directly, you were the first, and the others were all married by the girls of the clan minister's family or foreign clans that he chose for me, but I don't want to tell what they think of me in their hearts, so I ignore them."
It's really tiring to talk, but you always have to make it clear, "You just want to be like this all the time?" β
Cocoon's face was a little ugly: "I know I have nothing, and I won't know anything, but, but I will try my best to protect you, I will really try, you, don't look down on me... He began to sob again
Looking at the helpless and panicked man in front of him, the round toddler's face flashed in front of his eyes, when he was a child, his younger brother often posed like this because he broke the toy for fear that she would be angry, and at that time, his father and mother would pick him up and make themselves happy with him, so I miss them~ The warm current in my heart made Dye take the initiative to hug the cocoon for the first time.
"Let's try it together, even if we lose, it won't be worse than sitting in this huge prison."
"We can't fight them, we have nothing."
"We have each other, besides, how do we know if we haven't tried?"
"Will you stay with me all the time?"
"Hmm~"
Dye doesn't know where the courage comes from, but she wants to try it, to try to shake the seemingly indestructible figure, for her brother, for her father, for the neighbors in her hometown who are always warm and harmonious, for the cocoonγγγγγ
