Prequel. Chapter 8: Confession at the Palace?
I got up early on the second day, and under the supervision of Sister Wan, it was rare to dress up as well as the banquet in the palace that day, but I was afraid that it would be a little eye-catching, so I deliberately chose a plain ordinary dress, and after going out in the carriage, I secretly took off the hairpin on my head, and there was only a small hairpin on my head. To go to the palace, it is best to be ordinary, otherwise you may meet someone who is as crazy as Lou Yihang and Ouyang Junyu.
"Miss Su, Niangniang is still in the Queen Mother's Palace at this time, if you feel bored, the slave maid will take you to the imperial garden first, and then go to the palace after the Niangniang summons." After entering the palace, the palace maid who led me saw that I had been fidgeting and spoke.
This Concubine Li, I don't know what I'm doing, I called someone to pick me up to the palace early in the morning, and I actually stayed in the queen mother's palace all the time, is this to trick me? Or, don't have any intentions, will that Ouyang Junyu appear here all of a sudden, then I can't hide if I want to. Thinking of this, he hurriedly responded to the palace maid: "That's fine." You tell me how to go, and I'll just go there myself. ”
The palace maid hurriedly said: "Miss Su, it's better for the slave to take you over, you are not familiar with this life, if the mother knows, she will blame the slave and maid." ”
There are really a lot of rules in this palace, I look at these palace maids, they are all cautious, but I really don't like to be followed everywhere I go, and said to her: "Thank you girl, I went to the imperial garden last time, and I won't get lost." You can rest assured. ”
Seeing that I insisted on this, she didn't force it anymore, and finally showed me the way, saying that she was going to get me something to eat, let me go shopping alone, and when Concubine Hui came back, she would come and take me to the palace again.
I followed the path she said, and walked slowly towards that side alone, but I didn't meet anyone on the way, that Lou Yihang, should not be in the palace, I shouldn't have met him today. Alas, I hope that today can be spent in the palace safely.
"Girl, alone."
As soon as he stepped into the Imperial Garden, he saw a person walking towards him, and the peace and security in his mind instantly disappeared. The strange thing is that Ouyang Junyu is only one this time, saying that there are a few of them, haven't they always been inseparable, how can they be separated. But it's precisely because he's the only one that I'm even more annoyed, and I thought I would meet him in the palace, so I came out on purpose, but I didn't expect to meet here, I didn't just see it yesterday, and I met it again today, I don't know what the hell he wants to fight.
I glanced at him, and felt more and more disgusted, and did not want to pay attention to him, and looked around to make sure that there was no one, and turned to go, and just took a step on my feet, I heard him shouting behind me: "Marry me." ”
Before I could react, I heard a "bang", and when I looked up, it turned out to be the two palace maids who had just brought me over, they were holding fresh fruits in their hands, presumably frightened by Ouyang Junyu's words, and the things in their hands fell to the ground. This Ouyang Junyu, do you want to kill me, if this sentence is known by Concubine Li and the people of the Ouyang family, and if you don't find someone to skin me, you will know that it is not good to see him every time, thinking about it, she continued to walk forward, still ignoring him. Unexpectedly, he quickly caught up with me, reached out and grabbed me, and asked in a loud voice, "Didn't you hear me?" ”
I smiled at him, "I don't hear it, my ears are not good." I thought that he would be angry when he heard this.
However, he didn't look angry at all, he grabbed my hand tighter, but said calmly: "Okay, I'll say it again, Su Yi'er, Young Master Ben has taken a fancy to you and decided to marry you." But I was a little angry, the previous smile all dissipated, and when I saw that the two palace maids were no longer there, I couldn't help but say loudly: "What are you kidding, how can I marry you." ”
I don't know what kind of medicine he sold in the gourd this time, but when he saw my reaction like this, he still didn't get angry: "I just told you yesterday that you were the first woman who interested me, and you forgot it so quickly?" I'm not kidding, everything is true, and if you don't believe me, I can swear to God. With that, he stretched out his hand again and pretended to swear.
I thought to myself, how could there be such a person in the world, how could there be a person like him, and refreshed my worldview again and again. Because he didn't want to argue with him, he forcibly asked him: "At the beginning, the noble concubine wanted His Majesty to give me a wedding to His Royal Highness, but I still refused, how can I see that I will marry you, a playboy?"
Only then did he let go of his grip on me, as if he had been thinking for a while, as if to explain to me: "I can protect you and protect your Su family." ”
I was curious and continued to ask, "Why?" ”
He also continued to patiently explain: "There are my father and my third uncle in the court, my second uncle and my brother-in-law in the military, my aunt in the harem, my mother and grandfather, all have a different relationship with the emperor, I am enough to protect you and protect your Su family." ”
I rolled my eyes and said with a smile, "It sounds like I'm taking advantage." He thought I had answered him, and raised his hand to take my hand, but I avoided him and continued, "However, none of this is what I want. What I want is the love of a couple for a lifetime. You'll never understand. ”
As I expected, he didn't understand what I meant, but he didn't give up: "How can you see that I can't give such love." After talking for a long time, did you say yes or not? ”
"Do you say yes or not?"
He asked a few times, I still didn't want to say anything, and suddenly I heard a voice not far away, "Don't agree", I looked over there with Ouyang Junyu, Lou Yihang? How could it be him, how could he come here at this moment, and secretly said in his heart that it would not be him and Ouyang Junyu who joined forces to rectify me, it is rare that Ouyang Junyu will waste so many lips and tongues with me for so long today, just to wait for Lou Yihang to come over.
I stood stunned like this, he walked over slowly, and said to Ouyang Junyu, "She doesn't agree." ”
Ouyang Junyu also seemed a little surprised, I don't know if he was pretending or real, I just heard him say to Lou Yihang: "Whether you agree or not, it's not up to you to decide." ”
However, after Lou Yihang heard this, he slowly showed a smile, looked at me, quickly reached out and clasped my hand, and said to Ouyang Junyu: "Because Yi'er has already agreed to marry me." I quickly broke free, pushed him away, and yelled in a low voice, "What nonsense are you talking about? Are you two trying to kill me? This is the Royal Palace. ”
Unexpectedly, he reached out again and held my hand tightly, and I broke away again, but she didn't let go this time, and her heart said what day it was, and met two people who lost their minds at the same time, and went crazy in front of me at the same time. Thinking about it, I heard Lou Yihang whispering in my ear: "I knew that you still cared about me." I was amazed, I didn't know what he was trying to do, thinking that this was the palace, but I was silent. Lou Yihang smiled at me, and then said to Ouyang Junyu: "Junyu, I don't care if you are sincere or false, I hope you will think about it carefully, don't hurt our brother's harmony because of a woman." ”
Ouyang Junyu did not let go: "What is yours is yours, and you can't grab it if it's not yours." After saying that, he leaned over to me and took my other hand, "Yi'er, can you answer my question?" ”
I was still silent, and I heard Lou Yihang also say to me: "Yi'er, tell him that if you don't agree, tell him who the person in your heart is." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Ouyang Junyu continued to say to me: "Yi'er, a smart woman must learn to judge the situation, you think clearly, think clearly who is the best person for you." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Lou Yihang continued: "Yi'er, we've known each other for so long, don't you still know me?" "The two of you are talking to me word by word, there is no room for me to interject, if it weren't for the fact that this is in the palace today, I can't help but want to hit someone, these two people are what I am, toy? Fighting?
I still secretly thought in my heart, I know you, how can I not understand you, so selfish, so domineering, so unreasonable, no one in South Vietnam knows, but who dares to say that you are not.
"Think about who is best for you." Ouyang Junyu interjected again.
I'm really weird, what's wrong today, why did I meet these two people for no reason, Concubine Li, Concubine Li, you summoned me to the palace, you should come to rescue me, why didn't you come.
"Jun'er. ”
Suddenly, there was a sound in the distance. We followed the voice together, not far away, a figure in a pale green flower-sprinkled brocade robe walked slowly, followed by a group of palace people, listening to her name Ouyang Junyu, probably Concubine Li, she really came here, and she was relieved. Last birthday banquet, she didn't attend, but when I saw it today, sure enough, these famous and favored ladies in the harem have their own advantages.
This Concubine Li, like the queen, was born in a family, and her innate noble temperament is the same as the queen's mother, which is shocking. She looks a few years older than me, where does she look like a person in her thirties, it can be seen that she has been in the palace all these years, she is really well maintained, looking at her so good-looking appearance, it is no wonder that Ouyang Junyu has such a peerless appearance, thinking of someone in this Beijing, someone said that the Ouyang family is my Nanyue beauty family, it can be seen that this title is not for nothing.
Seeing her walk to my side, I hurriedly knelt down and saluted, bowed my head and said, "The courtiers see Concubine Li." When he knelt on the ground, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Lou Yihang walking outside without saying a word.
Concubine Li didn't care about him, but leaned over and reached out to hold my hand, motioned me to get up, and said with a smile: "The palace is at the Queen Mother's place, and I am really embarrassed to delay some time and make Miss Su wait for a long time." ”
Hearing her so polite, where can I afford it, I hurriedly said: "Niangniang is serious, anyway, there is nothing to do at home, I just took a stroll in the imperial garden, I didn't expect Niangniang to be busy so soon." ”
She looked at me, the smile on her face continued, and the hand holding me never let go, and then said: "This palace has been listening to Jun'er mention you, but I can't see you in time, and today I finally saw you." No wonder, the woman who can make Jun'er fall in love with her is really different from ordinary people. ”
After she finished speaking, I was still immersed in surprise, and I heard Ouyang Junyu say: "Auntie, don't say that, what if you are scared?" ”
What the? Child? When did I become so familiar with him, what does this Concubine Li mean, I have nothing to do with this Ouyang Junyu, could it be that she misunderstood something.
"Mother." I thought about explaining, but I didn't know where to start, "Actually, the courtiers and Ouyang Gongzi are not particularly familiar. ”
"What?" She seemed to be a little curious, turned her head to look at Ouyang Junyu, and only heard the man say in fear that the world would not be chaotic: "It's not familiar now, when you marry me, it's not familiar." ”
"What nonsense are you talking about?" I couldn't help but refute him, but seeing that Concubine Li was still surprised, I immediately realized that it was rude for me to speak like this, and I wanted to speak, but I didn't know what to say for a while.
Fortunately, Concubine Li was not angry, she laughed again, and said to Ouyang Junyu: "I said, why do you want to change the law and beg me to let Yi'er enter the palace, it turns out that it is our little young master, and it has not been recognized by others." As soon as she finished saying this, some of the palace maids beside her also laughed, but I was a stomach full of bitter water, it turned out that this Ouyang Junyu said something in front of Concubine Li, thinking that I had something to do with him, Concubine Li loved this nephew so much, but not everything would be towards him, I should have thought about it, how could this Concubine Li want to see me for no reason, it must be that this guy said something to her that she shouldn't say.
"Yi'er, what's wrong with you?" Ouyang Junyu spoke again.
I forcibly suppressed the anger in my heart and replied to him: "It's okay, I just feel a little tired." ”
"But standing outside for a long time?" Concubine Li hurriedly asked me.
"It's not in the way, it's my own weak body."
She held my hand again and said softly: "As soon as I saw you in this palace today, I felt that I fell in love with you, and I liked it very much, and there is still something in this palace today, so I won't leave you to eat in the palace." Yi'er, you don't feel at ease when you go back to the palace alone, let Jun'er send you back. ”
"Okay, it just so happens that I'm going back to my house too, so I'll stop by the way."
Do you think you want to fall in love with me, do you want to turn your head and tell the emperor like a concubine to let me marry this little master, these girls, how do they like to talk like this, how unpleasant my personality is, I know better than anyone else, even my biological father is so disgusted, let alone others.
