Chapter 191: My name is Gu Xiang
In the winter of Northern Qin, it was bleak and lonely.
The sun, which had not been seen for a long time, finally poked its head out of the clouds, melted the snow on the eaves, and there was a ticking music in my ears.
Two rough palace maids sat on the threshold and took a nap, basking in the best sun in their lives, dreaming simple and simple dreams, guarding this almost barren cold palace.
Inside the dilapidated door were several rooms that were also dilapidated, and the one on the far right, with a date tree growing in front of it, was also the best one here, because there was a bed in it.
There was only a thin mattress of indistinguishable color on the bed, and a thick layer of straw underneath, so if you could ignore the surprises that crept out of the straw from time to time, then it would feel quite comfortable to lie down.
Mei Li nestled quietly in the corner of the bed, burying her head deep between her legs, as if she could get rid of the nightmare in front of her without listening or looking, and return to the gorgeous palace with fine clothes and food.
She has been here for five days, from crying and cursing at the beginning to going on a hunger strike and beating, but now she has no strength. Hunger and cold made her consciousness begin to drift, and she couldn't even tell which was her dream.
In the confusion, it seemed that someone was calling her name, gently and softly, ethereal like clouds and smoke, and like a warm wind.
"Miri......"
Miri couldn't help but look in the direction of the voice, it was a tall and mighty body, and the dark gray robe almost blended in with the room. But when she tried harder to look, she clearly saw a familiar face, and there was still an indissoluble tenderness and honey, it was him...... It turned out to be him......
The next moment, she was embraced into her gentle arms.
"Miri, I'm sorry...... Sorry ......"
The man said sorry over and over again, but Miri didn't have the strength to tell what it meant to be sorry, she just thought about one thing.
"You, can you take me out?"
The man just nodded, but Miri finally fainted with a smile as if she had received the best promise.
When she woke up again, Miri was in a wide carriage. The car was covered with thick mats, a burning stove, and a pot of tea was boiling on the stove, making a monotonous gurgling sound, but at this time it was the most beautiful fireworks in the world.
The moment Miri opened her eyes, she finally felt alive again, she blinked and observed everything around her, and finally landed her eyes on the young man beside her.
The man smiled lightly, helped her to sit up, stuffed a pillow behind her, and stuffed a stove in her arms, before asking softly, "Are you hungry?" ”
Without waiting for Mei Li to answer, the man took out all kinds of food from the box by himself, raised his eyes and asked, "Which one do you want to eat first?" ”
Looking at these delicate snacks in front of her, Mei Li couldn't help but blur her eyes, these were all things she used to eat, and it was a matter of time to see her again.
Yesterday's death, today's ...... She struggled to stop thinking about it, but the tears fell with a "click" that didn't obey the call.
Tears fell on the back of the man's hand, and he immediately panicked, "Meili, don't cry, it's all my fault, I thought you would like this." You will pass through a town in front of you, and you can eat whatever you want. ”
Mei Li cried even more when she heard this, she lay on the man's lap, complaining more and more bitterly, as if all the sorrows in this world were integrated into it, which made people feel endless pity.
The man stopped talking, just stroked his hair, and waited silently, how difficult it was for a pampered princess to accept such a gap.
In the end, her eyes were swollen from crying, and her tears were dried from crying, and Meili leaned weakly into the man's arms and asked softly, "Where are we going?" ”
"The smoke and rain in the south of the Yangtze River, the lonely smoke in the desert, and the wind and snow in the north can be ...... anywhere I'll take you wherever you want......"
"Anywhere?" Mei Li was puzzled, "Aren't you going back to be your master?" I heard that Emperor Jing Kang wants to make you a master ......"
The man gently kissed Mei Li's forehead, "Don't go back, I exchanged it for you, I think this deal is a good deal, in case Emperor Jing Kangdi changes his hexagram, it's better to take you far away." ”
Mei Li's eyes were sour again, and the arm holding the man tightened a little: "It's better that you are smarter, you know how to plan ahead and be cunning, otherwise who should I count on now?" I used to hate you the most, I hated you for being ruthless, hated you for being indifferent, but I didn't expect that you were the best for me. ”
The man's throat rolled a few times, and his voice became extremely difficult, "It's not enough, I'll only treat you better in the future......"
Mei Li couldn't help but look up, the person in front of her was once as misty as a fog, but now how did these eyes become so clear, reflecting her clearly. Literature Great
It was a strange feeling, she reached out to caress those eyes, and they fluttered like feathers, and the man's eyelashes trembled reflexively, and they also teased the smart fingertips. As if playing a game, the two of them enjoyed it for a long time, and finally looked at each other and chuckled.
"Hehe......"
"Haha......"
"Why did you say those heartless words before?" Miri looked at these eyes overflowing with friendship and asked, "It's actually quite sad to say that you never loved me, and you must marry me to someone else." ”
The man's eyes flickered slightly, and he lightly nodded his upturned nose and sighed: "So, you are stupid......"
"You don't take the road of the imperial concubine that has been paved for you by all means, but you have to stay and suffer this suffering. Ay...... If the six princes are still there, you are married now, the sky is high and the earth is wide, no matter what happens to this Northern Qin, it has nothing to do with you......"
"You ......" Mei Li's heart suddenly emptied, "You mean ......"
"That's right...... the man's thoughts wandered as he set his eyes on the steaming teapot......
The mountain rain is coming, and the Empress Dowager Qin is not unaware of it, she is worried day and night not only about the rights she is about to lose, but also about her only biological flesh and blood. Meili has been pampered since childhood, and she also has very bad shortcomings and tempers, and even has done some immeasurable wrong things, Empress Dowager Qin, as a mother, will beat and scold, but after all, it hurts in her mother's heart.
When the building was about to fall, the Empress Dowager Qin did everything possible to get the opportunity to marry Nan Yao, which could not only ensure her daughter's stability and prosperity for a lifetime, but also help her repay the hatred in her heart!
Yes, she has hatred in her heart, not only for Beiluo, but also for Nan Qian. Hate Bei Luo for killing her son, hate Nan Qian for bullying her daughter!
A mother's heart has right and wrong, and a mother's love only has her child, so her child becomes right and wrong......
The man stroked the supple green silk and whispered, "Miri, your mother loves you very much...... You didn't know ...... all along."
"Sometimes what you see and hear isn't necessarily true, like what I once said to you......"
The man's voice was soft, but it hit Mei Li's heart hard, she didn't know how to express her emotions at the moment, but she suddenly remembered the last look that the queen mother looked at her on the day of the palace change, and now she thinks that it should be a deep apology......
But who is sorry for whom?
"Me!" Mei Li raised her head suddenly, "I want to go back, I want to go back, I want to see the queen mother, I want to see her!" ”
Miri shook the man desperately, hoping that he would turn the carriage around and take her back to her mother to say sorry. But no matter how much the man asked her, he didn't respond at all, but when she was about to lose her strength, he took it firmly in his arms, and sighed with pity: "Meili, you can't go back...... Don't let your mother worry anymore...... Hello, she's ......."
He didn't say the rest of the words, Mei Li's current body is unable to withstand such a blow, thinking that the Empress Dowager Qin has a spirit in the sky, and he also hopes that Mei Li can go away, ordinary and stable.
When the thousands of sails are exhausted and the glitz ends, all I hope for is this simple sentence.
After Mei Li's mood stabilized a little, the man diverted the topic and said: "This eight-treasure tea has been boiled for a long time, and there are astragalus, angelica, longan, and wolfberry in it, all of which are good products for nourishing blood and qi, and I also added rock sugar to it, do you want to try my craftsmanship?" ”
Mei Li nodded innocently, but the man smiled very happily, carefully poured a small bowl, and fed it with a gentle blow.
Mei Li only took a small sip each time, and the man took the trouble to feed it little by little, and it took half a column of incense to drink the small bowl.
After drinking the hot stuff, Mei Li's complexion immediately improved a lot, and she put her eyes on the red lacquer food box again, and said in a low voice, "That, peach blossom crisp, let's have a ......"
The man was busy holding the past, seeing that Mei Li was eating seriously, the smile gradually spread on his face, maybe even he didn't know that laughing was such an easy thing......
After eating and drinking enough, Mei Li leaned on the man's arms again, listening to the squeaking of the carriage and the sound of the heartbeat in his chest, at this moment, his heart finally calmed down.
The man shook Miri's hand with himself and sighed leisurely, "It turns out that everything is the best arrangement......
The car drove slowly and leisurely, and where it got to became the least important thing, and the road it drove through naturally became the least important thing.
The man thought to himself, the past will be the past forever, from this day on, he and Meili are brand new selves. So, say goodbye to the past with a gentle kiss, and start a new life with a simple introduction.
"Meili, hello, my name is Gu Xiang......"
