Chapter 17 People are not plants
It is said that although this Gu'er Besu has been trapped in the deep palace for a long time, her acting skills are good, since she returned to the palace with the two little palace maids, she not only didn't let people see the flaws, but also got along with them quite well, and they also divided their respective jobs in private, waiting for Xiao Yixuan's work on weekdays, most of them are still done by Hongyue Qingqiu, and Gu'er Besu is responsible for some sundries in the courtyard, such as pruning flowers and plants, scrubbing the house, washing and cutting fruits, etc., in addition, I don't know if Gu'er Besu deliberately avoided the opportunity to be alone with Xiao Yixuan, In the days that followed, the latter never asked what she meant by what she said that day. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Even if they can occasionally seize a chance that no one is around, when Xiao Yixuan and Gu'er don't answer quickly, the other party doesn't say much, and even the presumptuous jokes that can always provoke each other in the past have lost their effect, and Gu'er Beisu seems to have become a concubine who was damaged by frost at that moment in the cold palace.
In this way, Xiao Yixuan lived a day of idleness and idleness during the day, but at night he was stoic and hardworking, and continued to practice the Hidden Dragon Decision, and the extreme physical exhaustion and mental abundance every day refreshed Xiao Yixuan's sensory limits, only feeling that this Hidden Dragon Decision was like a drug to cultivate, and after ten days, almost all of them had a feeling of addiction.
The days passed like this, and in a blink of an eye, the time came to the evening of the tenth day of the first lunar month, and in another night, it would be the day when Xiao Yixuan took a concubine, and the roster of the girls to be drafted was finally sent to Xiao Yixuan's hands today.
At this time, the night was already dark, and Xiao Yixuan, who had just had dinner, did not practice the hidden dragon duel as usual, but came to the prince's study on the side of the main hall of the East Palace with an extremely rare appearance, and each of his left and right hands picked up a roster and a picture scroll, and on the table in front of him, the picture scroll of the same layout was stacked up thickly.
Chuxiu Palace sent a roster of these picture scrolls, the intention was to let Xiao Yixuan understand the general situation of the show girls in advance, after all, Emperor Xiao Tianjing did not hand-pick the candidates this time, and the choice was all in Xiao Yixuan's hands, but in fact, Xiao Yixuan said that it was meaningless to send these picture scrolls to his hands, just because the women painted on these picture scrolls were almost all carved out of a mold--- the style of painting exclusive to the ancients, and the true appearance of any woman could not be depicted at all. Xiao Yixuan looked at them one by one, and felt like he was watching the flying murals of the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang, and he didn't gain anything at all.
So he had to settle for the second, focusing on the background of these show girls, and wanted to select some official women who could be used for himself, remember their names first, and then assess and screen them tomorrow, if they are too ugly, even if the background is big, he doesn't plan to want it, after all, they are all partners who want to accompany him for a long time, at this point, he thinks that his ideological consciousness is still not qualified enough.
Xiao Yixuan looked at it, and heard a soft sound of the bead curtain in the distance, knowing that it was the little palace maid who brought the tea, so he said softly: "Put it on the table." ”
When the words fell, the man came to his side, put the teacup in his hand on the table, and then did not put it down as he wanted, but stood there fixedly.
Xiao Yixuan looked up and found that the person who came was not Hongyue or Qingqiu, but Gu'er Beisu with an indifferent face, she saw Xiao Yixuan's puzzled eyes, and didn't speak, just stared at him quietly, as if Xiao Yixuan had done something wrong, and wanted to see a flower on his face.
"Here we go!"
Somehow, when Xiao Yixuan saw her like this, she also had a feeling of being a thief, and laughed twice, and was about to buckle the scroll in her hand on the table, but when she saw Gu'er not picking up a scroll casually, she looked at it and said: "Your painting skills in the Central Plains are really bad, at this level, what can you see?" ”
It turned out that this Nizi had already known about her choice of concubine.
Xiao Yixuan suddenly thought in his heart, and then suddenly thought that the news that he was going to take a concubine was not a secret in this East Palace, Hongyue Qingqiu knew it, could it be that Gu'er Beisu was angry with himself these days, not because he heard the conversation between himself and Xiao Yilian that day, but because he heard the news that he was going to take a concubine from Hongyue Qingqiu, so he was jealous?
Thinking so, Xiao Yixuan deliberately said: "It's just right to come, quickly help me choose, and see which one is more suitable for me!" ”
As he spoke, he also pushed the pile of scrolls to Gu Erbie, who looked stunned when he heard this, and seemed to want to get angry, but somehow endured it.
"I can't see anything anymore!"
I saw Gu'er don't say it quickly, but he still turned up a picture scroll in his hand, and snatched the roster in Xiao Yixuan's hand that introduced the background of the show girl, and said while looking at it: "This one was born with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, and he looks like a kefu, but it can't be!" ”
"This appearance is okay, but his father is too big, and his temper must be bad, forget it."
"This woman has a wide waist and narrow hips, and she can't give birth to a son! Not! ”
"Isn't it! This woman was born with a birthmark on her face, and she can still be selected? ”
Gu'er Besu almost read all the pictures in less than a quarter of an hour, and the conclusion was naturally not a suitable one, and the reason was even more strange, Xiao Yixuan was dumbfounded when he heard it, thinking that this Nizi really looked like she was jealous, and she only felt funny, but she nodded again and again on her face, and she looked very agreeable.
Looking at Xiao Yixuan's appearance, Gu Er Besu was a little uncomfortable, only to see her put down the scroll in her hand and asked, "You... What do you think? ”
"That's right! It's just that my father wants me to take a concubine, I can't want any of them, right? Wouldn't that be a loss of face for my father? I can't say anything about it from the ministers! ”
As he spoke, Xiao Yixuan stood up, circled around the table twice, made a meditative look, and finally stopped beside Gu'er Besu, put one hand on her shoulder, and said, "It's better than this!" I'll go to Chuxiu Palace to say hello later, make a roster for you, and when you dress up, I'll ask you directly! Well, I can marry a peerless beauty, and secondly, it will be convenient for you to escape in the future, what do you think of my idea? ”
When the words fell, I saw Gu Erbei stiffen quickly, and then slapped Xiao Yixuan's palm away, turned his back and said, "I... I warn you, don't tease me again! Say okay, after a while, you will send me out of the palace... Don't think that the two of us can have any admiration, when I leave the palace, you will continue to be your prince and ascend your throne, I will go back to my grassland, and it is best not to see each other again in this life! ”
Hearing this, the smile on Xiao Yixuan's face disappeared, and after a pause, he sighed: "Okay, it's me who thinks too much." ”
With that, he turned back to his seat and sat down, and said in a low voice: "Go ahead, in some time, there will be foreign envoys to the court, and Mongolia will also send some people at that time, and I will think of some ways when the time comes... Sending you out. ”
When the words fell, Gu Er pursed her lips fiercely, her hands were clenched, and a rare trace of panic flashed in her eyes, but after hesitating for a long time, she still couldn't say a word, and finally had to sigh secretly, and turned around and walked out of the study suddenly.
It's just that what she didn't see was that after her figure completely disappeared outside the door, the loneliness on Xiao Yixuan's face disappeared immediately, and she changed to a triumphant expression--- what kind of person Xiao Yixuan is, how can she not see the little bit of caution in her daughter's house? The reason why he said those words just now was purely to tease her, and by the way, he could not cause too much excesses in this girl when he took a concubine, even if the Mongolian envoy personally asked him for someone, he would not give it, as a normal man, how could he let go of a peerless beauty around him who had a great chance of succeeding?
"Former brother, I never thought that you insisted on something that you had insisted on for several years without success, and let me do it in just ten days, I'm really ashamed, it's really a shame, it turns out that the charm really comes from the soul...
Thinking of this, Xiao Yixuan muttered a few words to himself proudly, and then picked up the roster again, flipping through the pages one by one, but before he could turn a few pages, his eyes were attracted by a picture scroll that made Gu'er turn around quickly.
I saw the woman painted on the picture scroll, plain clothes and long skirts, long hair fluttering, and her figure was even more ********, tall and slender, but the face that should have been beautiful and abnormal, but there was a big birthmark imprinted, as if a thick ink was deliberately dripped on the painted picture scroll, which was extremely discordant.
Xiao Yixuan picked up the scroll and found that one side of the scroll was marked: 'Xiao Yanyi, the eldest daughter of Xiao Long'...
On the other side, when Xiao Yixuan was studying Xiao Yanyi's portrait, Gu'er Besu had already returned to the side room of the small courtyard in a huff.
The room was dimly lit, with only a little moonlight peeking in through the window, and the stars sprinkled on the ground, as if to depict her thoughts.
Gu'er walked lightly to the head of her bed and sat down, reached out and took out the short knife that Xiao Yixuan gave her from under the pillow, and stroked it back and forth, feeling sorry for her.
People are not plants and trees, in fact, Xiao Yixuan's countless visits and care in the past few years have already buried a deep shadow in her heart.
As the only person who can be seen in the past five years, Xiao Yixuan is really too good, he is very handsome, noble and extraordinary, he has great power in his hands, but he treats her with great courtesy and never oversteps.
It is only because of the stubbornness in his heart that is tightly bound by this deep palace, as well as the hatred and fear of Xiao Yixuan's father, that Gu'er Besu has always maintained that cold and indifferent attitude, like frost.
And now, the two have experienced the fire of Jingxin Garden together, and people say that as long as men and women experience life and death together, then it is inevitable that there will be emotional growth, and Gu'er Besu is no exception.
She is still a girl after all.
