Volume 1: The Wind and Smoke Rises, Chapter 20
I could only laugh "hehe", "These things are a long story!" I don't want to say! ”
"Don't say it! Son, I need to go back to China tomorrow, so come with me. If Jun Mo saw you, he would definitely be overjoyed. ”
I looked at the certainty in his eyes, and I was afraid that I was going to disappoint him. "Third brother, I've always wanted to go home! But, but," I gritted my teeth, took a sharp breath, and continued, "Third brother, you hurry back to China, don't delay your trip for anything!" Your identity, staying here, is not safe after all. As for me, third brother, you can go first. Now Yucheng belongs to the Qi country, you have passed Yucheng, just wait for me there for two days, if I come, let's go together. If so, if I don't come, you leave me alone. I'm going to say goodbye to some people, and I'm afraid, this goodbye is forever. ”
I knew he wanted to ask me, but I held back. He untied the jade pendant on his waist, "I will inform the city guards to see this jade pendant, as if you see me." ”
This jade pendant, I know, is the only relic of Xia Qian's biological mother. This is too precious for me to accept easily.
I shirked it again and again, Xia Qian put on the majesty of the emperor, and I still had to accept it. "Third brother, if you go back to Beijing first, help me tell Jun Mo that my sister is stubborn and made a joke with the sixth brother, and when the maid returns to Beijing, you should compensate for the tears of the sixth brother."
Xia Qian smiled and said, "If you say it, I will bring it." It's just that the sixth brother is sad, and you will make amends. The third brother doesn't have to compensate?"
"Third brother, didn't you recognize that person was not a maid? The third brother doesn't have to compensate. ”
Xia Qian said in a low tone: "When the news of the death of you and General Shang returned to the capital, my father was also in the twilight of the West Mountain. You don't know how scared I was during that time, I lost my father and lost you. ”
As soon as I spoke, I heard a slight tremor in my own voice. I eased my emotions and said, "Third brother, Wu'er is a good girl, I am sorry for her in this life." If you can, please always worship her as a queen. ”
He put his hand on my shoulder, "Son, if you return safely, I will agree to any request you make." ”
I didn't dare to make a promise, I raised my eyes, but I accidentally saw a familiar figure in the woods over there, and when I looked over, the figure quickly flashed into the forest. "Third brother, you've been here for a long time, go back to the table quickly. I'll see you off tomorrow, I'm feeling a little unwell now, so I'll go back. ”
I bowed slightly and said goodbye to him. He grabbed me and placed the vial in the palm of my hand.
I left and went to the woods, but there was no sign of me.
I don't know why I was a little upset, I didn't want to go to the banquet in front of me, and I didn't want to go back to Fangfeiyuan, I just walked along the lake.
Today, the moon is hiding behind the clouds, but fortunately, the palace lights by the lake are lit up, so you won't be unable to see the road clearly. The sound of silk and bamboo came from afar, which seemed to be more peaceful here.
I was a little tired from walking, so I found a rock and sat down to rest. When I leaned over and knocked on my legs, I accidentally saw a woman in a palace dress in red next to me, who was bent over, as if she was picking up something in the lake. It seemed to me that her body was crumbling.
I rushed over to hold her, but I didn't know that I had accidentally pushed her down.
I was a little panicked when I saw her splashing in the water for a while, but I didn't know how to water. I shouted, "Someone! Help! Someone overboard"
Thankfully, the woman I pushed down by mistake seemed to know how to water. She swam close to the shore of the lake, and I quickly reached out and pulled her ashore. I patted her on the back, "Madame, I'm sorry! I just thought you were in danger, I wanted to help you, but I didn't expect it to be self-defeating, I'm really sorry. ”
She coughed, "It's okay!" Girl, I'm fine! Don't blame yourself! ”
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard someone shouting anxiously, "Yu Chen!" Yu Chen! ”
"My husband is here." She stood up with my hand. Sure enough, I saw a man walking over quickly, grabbed her, and asked with concern: "There is a maid who said that someone fell into the water, I thought you said it to breathe, I was very worried about you, so I came to take a look!" Yu Chen, why is your hair wet? Are you okay?"
"It's okay, the handkerchief just fell into the water, I'm going to pick it up. It's this little girl who misunderstood. ”
I scratched my head a little embarrassed to hear her defend me. Then, I realized a big problem, there was a lot of husband and wife affection here, and there seemed to be a large group of people coming over there.
I moved my steps slightly, trying to slip away without anyone noticing, but the man said, "Thank you girl for your concern." ”
I smiled awkwardly, "Don't dare to be! Don't dare to be! After I finished speaking, I heard Chu Yi's voice, "Big brother, is my sister-in-law okay?"
Eldest brother? Sister-in-law? I suddenly remembered that my husband had just called his wife "Yu Chen". Then, the one who was pushed into the lake by mistake by me was Princess Qi Guoyi, that is, Ning Yuchen, the eldest princess of Wei? I almost got into a big accident!
"The concubine is fine, and she has disturbed the prince and the distinguished guests. It's just that the concubine's behavior scared the maids in the prince's mansion. Princess Yi's words drew everyone's attention to me. It was so bad that I didn't even dare to lift my head.
There was an eerie silence all around, and I had no choice but to say: "Princess, you still don't want to take risks easily in the future, if something happens for a handkerchief, King Yi will be very sad and sad!" ”
"The girl doesn't know, this handkerchief, Yu Chen is more precious than life." King Yi smiled, his tone full of pampering.
I looked up curiously, there are still people in the world who regard handkerchiefs as much as I do? It just so happened that Princess Yi was standing in front of a palace lamp. It just so happened that I could see the handkerchief in her hand clearly, and I could also see her appearance clearly.
I subconsciously wanted to pull the veil to take a look, but I was still sane. I saluted everyone, "Princess Yi, princes, I'm sorry, I'm a little unwell, so I'll retire first!" ”
I don't care if I'm rude. My mind is blank right now, and if I stay a little longer, I guess it won't be a matter of faux pas.
I like pear blossoms, but this liking is not based on my own choice. Whether it's in Chang'an or Yucheng, the yard where I live is always full of pear blossoms. And this white veil embroidered with only a few pear blossoms has been with me since I can remember. I like pear blossoms, and it's more of a habit. I grew up listening to my father play the pear blossom song, and my father also taught Xia Qian. The only dance I know is the Pear Blossom Dance. I have never understood why my parents deliberately aroused this liking of mine.
