Chapter 416: Rest by Yourself
Chu Xingyue was chasing Zhao Ling's steps and hurriedly chased out, but she didn't expect that not long after, Chun Xing saw her young lady running back again, and as soon as she saw her, she began to shout in a hurry.
It's the first time I've seen such a young lady, Chunxing, so panicked, as if something big has happened.
Even Chunxing's heart picked up and asked, "Miss, what's going on?" Is His Highness really angry and unwilling to forgive you? ”
How dare he!?
Chu Xingyue glanced at Chunxing, who was nervous, and said to her in a tone of 'you are too underestimate your master': "With me personally going out to deal with him, can he really be angry with me?" It's just a misunderstanding, and when it's explained clearly, it will naturally release the suspicions. ”
After hearing what the young lady said, Chunxing was relieved; Thinking about it, I was also worried about myself, Miss's position in His Highness's heart is so important, even her subordinates can see His Highness's sincerity to Miss, even if Miss really angers His Highness, His Highness is reluctant to punish.
It's just that since it's not His Highness's side that has a problem, why is the young lady so anxious? It's like someone has burned their tails.
Chu Xingyue took Chunxing's hand and jumped up and down in a hurry, "Why don't you remind me, tomorrow is the day to invite the female relatives of Beijing to the banquet, you look at me, I haven't prepared anything, in case this banquet is not thoughtful enough, and something goes wrong to make people see the joke, then my face will be lost." ”
The key is that Zhao Ling, the bastard, still hangs up in a posture that has nothing to do with himself, and it is clear that he just wants to see her jokes.
Hum! All right! Regardless of whether she is or not? Don't help her, right? Look at her ignoring him tonight.
Chu Xingyue was angry like a frog holding her breath, staring at Chun Xing pitifully with two eyes, right now, it seemed that only this girl could help her.
When Chun Xing heard that Miss was anxious about this matter, she immediately couldn't help but laugh: "My silly young lady, it seems that the injury you suffered last time was really serious, why did you forget that this kind of thing is not actually for you to do it yourself, as long as you tell it, the people will do it for you; Besides, the princess invited the nobles and relatives of the nobles in Beijing to participate in the flower banquet, even if the preparations were a little hasty, they did not dare to chew their tongues behind their backs; Unless, they want their husband to be called in front of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and then reprimanded for the crime of controlling the back house. ”
After Chun Xing's reminder, Chu Xingyue came back to his senses.
Yes, why did she become stupid at a critical moment, it seems that this brain has been getting more and more useless recently, and she has forgotten that with her current identity, who dares to underestimate her?
She remembered that the last time someone chewed his tongue in the capital, and finally heard that Zhao Ling played the trick of killing chickens and monkeys, and arrested a few officials and reprimanded them, as if they were convicted of not being able to manage the back house or something, and later heard that those officials were either transferred to the Qingshui Yamen, or were demoted from their official positions and released out of the capital; In short, after Zhao Ling's toss, the gossip in the capital disappeared in a few days, and no one dared to say that the crown princess was not.
After this incident, it can be regarded as a wake-up call to the female relatives in the circle of noblewomen in Beijing, that is, the crown princess is the prince's treasure, if anyone dares to provoke her unhappy, she can make the prince unhappy for their whole family.
Because of this, Chu Xingyue's reputation as 'powerful' also faintly spread in Beijing, and now whoever mentions her is like being choked by the throat, and she is immediately silenced.
After Chu Xingyue calmed down, she explained that the housekeeper in the house began to get busy, anyway, she had never held this kind of banquet, and she had only participated in the flower banquet held by Jiang Qiang and Zhou Yanran's birthday banquet before her death.
Now that she is the crown princess, she will be a country in the future, and the grade of the banquet will naturally not be low; But fortunately, the housekeeper in the house is a clever and brainy, and knows that the hostess of his own house is a master who is more good at eating, drinking, and having fun, and he is lacking in other aspects; Therefore, he carried out the layout and planning of the entire banquet with all his might, which can be regarded as solving a lot of troubles for Chu Xingyue.
And Chu Xingyue, who has a little spare time, is also ready to dress up tomorrow and dress herself up; She won't forget what she's doing with this banquet.
Tomorrow, the ladies in Beijing who either like or admire Zhao Ling will be present in turn, and in the face of her invisible rivals, she must show 100,000 points of fighting spirit; So that these young little girls can see, with a wife like her by her side, how could Zhao Ling look away to look at those raw and delicate little flowers?
Chun Xing also showed her fighting spirit, and she was bound to dress up the young lady in the sky and the earth, so that those ladies who tried to send their daughters to His Royal Highness's accommodation would know and be difficult to retreat.
Just when King Ling's Mansion was busy for tomorrow's banquet, in the Quewei Palace in the palace, Zhou Yanran had already woken up from her madness.
Looking at the woman with scattered sideburns and pale face in the bronze mirror, Zhou Yanran couldn't help but shed hot tears, she stretched out her hand and stroked her cheek, countless unwilling pains were written all over her face.
She finally understood a sentence now, what is called too clever to calculate the mechanism, she thought she could get everything, but unexpectedly it still became a joke in the eyes of others; To tell the truth, she is really tired, tired of love, tired of hating, and now she can support her until now, all because of anger and unwillingness.
She knew that she could not get him, that she despaired, that she was miserable, and that what made her fall into hell even more was that he did not have no love in his heart, but that he gave all his warmth and love to that woman; The woman she once despised and looked down on the most.
Desperate and sad tears slipped down Zhou Yanran's face, and the big ones fell on the table, and soon there was a big pool.
Father-in-law Qiang has been kneeling on the side to accompany Zhou Yanran, seeing Niangniang crying silently at herself in the bronze mirror, her heart is also bitter; To tell the truth, although he despised some of the Niangniang's schemes, he felt sorry for this woman.
Entering the palace in a good year, serving a man who is almost dying, it is rare to meet the love of her heart, and what she longs for is just a pity, but she didn't expect that in the end what she got was ruthlessness and indifference.
The world says that the palace is full of splendid clothes and food, but who can know how many young women in this high imperial city are like ashes, although they are gorgeously dressed and splendid, but they can no longer be shocked by the slightest hope and ripple for the future life; The imperial city is so cold that the high walls of the palace isolate the outside world of flowers, and at the same time, isolate the hope of rebirth from the fireworks.
"Niangniang, you don't have to be so discouraged, no matter what, you still have the emperor's favor for you."
After all, if you offend His Royal Highness the Prince, I'm afraid that the life of the Quewei Palace will not be much better in the future, but fortunately, the emperor is only sick and weak, and he has not died.
Listening to Grandpa Qiang's words, Zhou Yanran knew the meaning of his words, but she was really tired, so tired that she didn't even want to do it anymore.
"This palace has been in the palace for more than three years, almost every day and every night with a mask to survive, when you want to cry, you have to laugh when you are tired, you have to laugh when you don't like it, this palace is tired, really tired, so tired that you really want to close your eyes and never open them again."
Father-in-law Qiang hurriedly knelt in front of Zhou Yanran, grabbed her dress tightly with both hands, and said, "Don't be so depressed, it's not the last moment, maybe there will be a miracle." ”
"Miracles? Hehehe! Hongu has been waiting for a miracle to happen every day for the past three years, but has it happened? Little Qiangzi, you won't understand the feeling of a person going from hope to despair step by step, like the whole world has been overturned, and he is buried in the deepest part of the dust; When you open your eyes, you can't see the light and hope, and all that is left is the rancid stench and darkness of your heart's desires. ”
Hearing Zhou Yanran say this, Qiang's father-in-law was really distressed, "Niangniang......"
"I didn't expect the miscellaneous family to come at the right time, and I was able to hear the words of the concubine Niangniang who was disheartened and saw through the red dust."
Suddenly, the voice from behind Zhou Yanran and Qiang Gonggong turned their heads together, and after seeing who was coming, the two explained in surprise.
Zhou Yanran had a firelight in Gu Jing Wubo's eyes, and jumped slightly, "You, why did you come?" ”
Now the entire Quewei Palace is surrounded by the people of the Imperial Foresters, and not even a fly can fly in, but I didn't expect him to be able to come in; But thinking about the identity of the person who came, Zhou Yanran understood everything.
The figure standing in the connection of light and shadow slowly took a step in the direction where Zhou Yanran was, and said, "The miscellaneous family is here to save Niangniang; Lady Guifei, are you interested in working with the miscellaneous family? ”
Zhao Ling was busy in the study until late at night to finish today's affairs, and just as he was about to get up and go back to Feiyu Courtyard, there was a knock on the door of the study.
At this time, who else is going to bother him?
Zhao Ling took a sip of the cup of tea in front of him and said, "Come in." ”
Hearing the sound from the room, Chun Xing trembled and appeared in front of Zhao Ling with a pillow and quilt, a small face didn't know whether she was frightened or frightened, slightly pale, and her eyes were even darker.
Zhao Ling naturally noticed the quilt held in Chunxing's arms and asked, "What are you doing here?" ”
Chun Xing didn't dare to hide it, and put the quilt in the study for only one person to rest, and replied to Zhao Ling's words: "Your Highness, my young lady said that she was a little unwell today, so let you sleep alone tonight." ”
