Prequel. Chapter 45: Su Zhen, That's My Mother's Concubine
Piao Piao returned to the house, from the time I entered the palace to the present, I have not seen the concubine, remembering that the little palace maid said that there is something in the palace of Concubine Jing Niangniang that the concubine can't leave, I didn't think much about it, now I feel strange, Concubine Jing and Concubine Huixian seem to have an unusual relationship, but I don't see Xie Yun and Limo have anything to do with it.
I didn't expect it to be just a trip to the palace, so I sent myself out.
When I got back into the house, I sat down indifferently, still not very real, and reached out and pinched myself.
"Ah, it hurts!"
It's not a dream, it's true.
I dreamed of him that day, and I dreamed that he said he wanted to marry me, but I didn't expect that now my dream has come true... It's incredible... I never dared to think about it before.
I told Yuyin to tell my father that I would go to Peach Blossom Village tomorrow, listen to what she had to say first, and then find a way if I didn't agree. I didn't expect Yuyin to come back and tell my father that he agreed without saying a word, but just told me to pay attention to my body, not to run around, and to listen to Mu Jing's words.
...
If it was really Mu Jing's last visit, he completely changed his temperament.
Early the next morning, someone came to Chenwang's mansion, saying that he was waiting for me in the mansion and came to pick me up, and I caught a glimpse of my father's different from the previous without a trace of displeasure, just nodded to me, and told me again to pay attention to my body.
I took out the bracelets and earrings I had put away before, put them all on, and changed into his favorite pale pink shirt, and I was faintly excited that I could finally go back to Peach Blossom Village with him.
I don't know if he didn't sleep well last night, and since he got into the carriage, he has been keeping his eyes closed, motionless, and not saying a word to me. Although I also slept late, I felt so refreshed that I didn't even take a nap.
"Do you know Su Zhen?"
I thought about what Yuyin told me last time, and subconsciously asked what was in my heart.
I thought he was asleep and didn't hear it, but as soon as I finished speaking, he opened his eyes and asked me, "Who did you listen to?" ”
"Yuyin."
He nodded, but didn't say anything more. I didn't understand, meaning he knew? Then why didn't he continue?
After a long silence, I pouted and lifted the curtain to look outside, when the carriage suddenly jolted, and my head hit the shelf, and I cried out in pain, and quickly retracted my head.
I was still in pain, but I saw that he was still sitting motionless, with a smile on his lips and his eyes staring straight at me.
What, you laugh at me when you see me bumping into it.
"That's my mother."
He said suddenly.
I reacted in an instant, it turned out to be a concubine, I guessed correctly.
He continued to ask him: "Then you know her and Mu Jing, what are..."
"Childhood sweetheart."
Before I could finish asking, he interrupted me. Childhood? But Mu Jing is in Nanyue, she is in Beiliang, which childhood sweetheart?
I looked at him suspiciously, winked at him, and motioned for him to tell him what he knew.
"I can answer you a question and think about what you want to ask."
"What do you mean?"
"I promised Mu Jing that I wouldn't tell you anything about him."
“...”.
"I don't ask."
People are curious animals, and when they know about this thing, they want to know the next one, but I don't ask, so what does it have to do with me.
Thinking like this, he still felt a little unhappy, and muttered: "Mu Jing is much more important than me." ”
He suddenly sat closer, next to me, put his hand around my neck and pulled my head over, just like this face to face look at him, when he was in Peach Blossom Village, he told me that he didn't like to laugh since he was a child, never smiled at others, at that time I told him, he laughed so good, he should laugh more, so every time he was with me, he would always smile at me, and he still does.
I love his smile and I hope he can be happy.
His laughter was like a pool of deep water, tugging at my heart and making me deeply immersed in it, unable to extricate myself.
"I have answered your questions truthfully, and I have lost my trust in Mu Jing. What do you want me to do, you eat Mu Jing's vinegar, little fool. ”
Sweet talk! I don't listen.
I turned my head away, not wanting to speak again, but he turned it again, and his hand was all over my chin, and I couldn't twist it, so I grabbed his hand and broke it down, and I took a bite out of it.
He didn't say a word, he didn't struggle, I just bit lightly and let go.
He withdrew his hand and looked at me quietly, still not speaking.
Before I knew it, I arrived at the destination, he helped me out of the carriage, and told the guard who drove the car to go back to the palace first, I asked him, the guard was from the concubine's side, he said that he had no reliable people around him, and he took me with me to borrow the concubine's person.
Hearing him say this, I couldn't help but feel a pang of distress in my heart.
Mu Jing seemed to have known that we would come, and he had already prepared the food, but in fact, he didn't do it, he just bought the food in advance, just waited for us to be hungry and hot.
confirmed that the concubine was Su Zhen, and when I saw Mu Jing now, I just wanted to laugh.
So much so that when eating, I laugh when he says a word, and I laugh when he says a word, and neither of them knows what happened to me suddenly, and they keep staring at me when they see me laughing.
I didn't say a word, smiled, bowed my head and continued to eat.
The sky was getting dark, this meal seemed to have been eaten for a long time, Mu Jing put down the chopsticks and ran to the back mountain, I was afraid that Xie Yun would ask me something, picked up the book on Mu Jing's table, and walked out, very casually sat under the pear tree in front of the door and read the book.
Mu Jing is all cooking books, and after reading so much, I haven't seen him good at cooking.
It seems that after a long time, my eyes hurt a little.
Footsteps rang out, and I leaned against the tree and watched him get closer and closer to me.
"You saw Yifeng in the Imperial Garden yesterday?" He stopped and asked me, like that, as if he was asking for sin.
Yifeng?
I reacted immediately. "You mean King Yun, yes, I saw him yesterday."
"He talked to you?"
I nodded, "No, I greeted him first." ”
"And what did he say?"
"He said bless me and you."
"What else?"
"Also, he complimented me on how good it looked when I smiled."
"You smile at him? Why are you smiling at him? ”
...
I thought he was something, and I would answer whatever I asked, but when I asked this sentence, I suddenly felt that something was wrong with him, I got up and asked, "I don't laugh, do I cry?" ”
He ignored my words and continued to ask me, "Why did you take the initiative to talk to him?" ”
I laughed and winked at him, "Shouldn't I be talking to King Yun, are you jealous?" ”
"I didn't!" He turned around as he spoke, looking weak.
If you are jealous, you will be jealous, what are you afraid of admitting? What is the weakness of the heart? I wouldn't do much.
I walked around to him and looked at each other face to face with him again, the face reflected in the moonlight was so beautiful, but unfortunately, there was no smile at all.
"I didn't see him, I can't just leave without saying a word."
"Don't think about it, I don't have any feelings for anyone else except you, at most I treat them as friends."
"Don't feel it?" He suddenly raised his eyes and smiled at me, "Didn't you fall in love with Li Xuan at that time?" You think I don't know? ”
I quickly shook my head and retorted, "I like him? How can I be? ”
"If it weren't for Ah Hang's obstruction, I'm afraid the person you want to marry now would be him." When he said this, his eyes were fixed on me, and his expression was as if I had done something heinous.
I thought he would care more about Lou Yihang's affairs, after all, I couldn't stand it, I felt that because Lou Yihang was a little sorry for him, I didn't expect him to care about Bai Lixuan, but I was really wronged, I and Bai Lixuan, it was really a misunderstanding, and it was also a mistake, okay, there was also a little bit of my own fault.
I avoided his eyes, turned away, and explained to him, and to myself, that "then, it was because I had forgotten what had happened." ”
Yes, it is true that I completely forgot about the previous events, at that time he only left me dreams again and again, but I didn't like Bai Lixuan, I really didn't have time to like him, he killed that opportunity.
The man behind me approached again, and he hugged me directly from behind, and his hand came lightly and quickly, resting his chin on my shoulder and rubbing against my cheek, and I could hear his breathing very clearly.
"So..."
He spoke softly, and his voice was very charming, as if it had pierced into my heart, and I couldn't move it.
"At that time, if I hadn't taken you away in time when you jumped into the Lake of Forgetfulness, you would have forgotten all about me now, right?"
Lake of Forgetfulness? I remembered what he told me at that time, and I was puzzled, so I didn't answer his question, but asked him by the way: "Didn't you say that the lake of forgetfulness is fake?" ”
He didn't answer, his eyes seemed to flicker slightly, I probably had guessed something, and said tentatively again: "If you don't save me, won't I die, where will I still have the life to marry someone else." ”
He's still quiet, well, I should know why, he's going to be weak about everything.
"You lied to me at the time, didn't you?"
Seeing that he still didn't say anything, I turned around, looked at him squarely and asked again: "You saved me on purpose, you don't want me to forget?" ”
"I didn't." He denied it, and replied so firmly.
Like Mu Jing, he replied without hesitation, most likely lying to me.
"You're still quibbling, isn't that what you mean?"
"I'm not."
"Still quibbling? You're going to lie to me again, aren't you? ”
Finally saw him nod slightly, "The legend of the Lake of Forgetfulness is true, if you jump off the Lake of Forgetfulness and go through the baptism of the lake, you will forget everything, including yourself." ”
"Really?"
"yes, so how could I let you jump."
So, he didn't want me to forget about him at that time.
