Concubine room

There was an unusual indifference in her gentle tone, which made me feel as if I was listening to the scribe who had finished the transcript to tell the judge about a public case: "Recently, the official family often summoned Mrs. Guo and I to discuss the princess's affairs, and when I heard that the princess had slept with the princess, they asked us to say more good things about the princess in front of the princess, so that the princess could continue to be a real husband and wife with the princess in the future." But we all know that the princess hated the captain, and looked at him like she was looking at a moldy pancake, and no one's kind words would make the princess change her mind. Therefore, I suggested that the official family simply order the lieutenant to move to the middle cabinet, and the husband and wife should be alone for one night, which is better than saying ten good things about others......"

"You know that the princess hates the captain, and you still let the official give such an order that is obviously against her will?" I looked at Yun Guo'er's unhappy expression, and secretly wondered when this familiar eyebrow had become so hateful.

"With all due respect, Mr. Liang, you have a lot of knowledge, but some things about women may not be known to you." After saying this, probably to avoid embarrassment to me, she moved her eyes to the heavy eaves and powder wall of the middle pavilion, and then said, "Many idle couples are resolved in the boudoir in the middle of the night, and Yun Niang used to tell us that husband and wife are 'bedside fights and bedside and'." The joy of fish and water is a good way to mend the rift between husband and wife, and if the princess shares the bed with the captain a few times, her attitude towards the captain will definitely improve. ”

She talked about this intimate topic, but her attitude was so calm that I felt a little cramped. It took me a while before I spoke: "The princess asked Du Wei to stay overnight for the first time, and you and I saw that the distance between her and Du Wei was not only narrowed, but also getting farther and farther away. Why did you make such a decision to make the princess angry? ”

Yun Guoer said: "A woman's first time, apart from pain, what else can she feel?" But it will be different after that. The lieutenant also said that the princess would not accept him, and I advised him to be tougher with her, and he was surprised, and said that the princess might hate him, so I said to him, 'The princess already hates you anyway.' Just take it as the next bet, if you win, the princess will live well with you, and if you lose, there will be no worse result, at most, the princess will continue to hate you. ’”

I looked at her coldly: "Now you see a worse result." ”

"Du Wei is indecisive, and he still can't be properly tough, and he hesitated after entering the middle cabinet last night, but he woke up the princess and made her make a big fuss." She looked back at me and said, "The princess is like this now, and you can't escape the blame, sir." You've protected her too well to let her hurt in the slightest, but there are some pains that you have to go through in life, just as wrestling is inevitable if you want to learn to walk. If she had stayed with the Lieutenant at the beginning of her surrender, the situation would not have been as out of control as it is now. ”

I couldn't help but look at her as if I were a stranger. I have known her for more than ten years, but I have not found that she has such a clear mind and keen insight. She had taken control of her fate as she pleased, and now I had to think about her attitude towards the princess, whether she really wanted to repair the relationship between the princess and the colt in the case of working with a husband, or whether she wanted to cause a complete break between them by hurting the princess.

In the next two days, the princess's mood was still very unstable, but whenever she saw Li Wei, she would even get angry as long as she heard Li Wei's name, crying, scolding, throwing objects, and running like crazy. Once I accidentally saw a porcelain pillow painted with a mandarin duck playing in the water pattern given to her and Li Wei this time, so I lifted it and broke it, and then picked up a piece of porcelain and stabbed it at my neck.

Moreover, she refused to sleep in the middle bedroom from then on, and only sat in the hall, sleepless day and night. I persuaded her to go in and rest, and she shook her head firmly: "A thief will come in." I said that I had instructed the maids to take good care of them and that there would be no more accidents, but she still refused: "I can't trust them." ”

Those maids are actually quite innocent. That night, Yun Guoer took Li Wei into the middle cabinet after the princess fell asleep, and announced the order to let Li Wei move in with the princess today, and the maids did not dare to disobey, so they let Li Wei enter the princess's bedroom.

In just two days, the princess was haggard and unhuman. Shi Zhicong didn't dare to hide it, so he had to enter the palace and tell the emperor and Concubine Miao Xian what happened in the princess's house, and Concubine Miao Xian immediately sent Wang Wuzi to take the princess into the palace for a few days. When Concubine Miao Xian saw her daughter's tragic situation, she was distressed and angry, so she sprinkled it on Shi Zhicong and complained to Jinshang that he was negligent in supervising the princess's house, causing the princess to be bullied by the concubine and her concubine.

After repeatedly promising not to let Li Wei sleep in the same room with the princess again, the princess reluctantly agreed to return to the princess's house. Returning to the house with us was Wang Wuzi, and under the recommendation of Concubine Miao Xian, he became the new minister of the princess's mansion.

Concubine Miao Xian chose him to go to the princess's mansion for two reasons: first, he had been in Concubine Miao Xian's pavilion for many years, watched the princess grow up, and knew the princess and was very loyal to the princess; Secondly, he has a flexible mind and is very methodical in dealing with his subordinates, in the words of Concubine Miao Xian, "neither a good old man like Liang Quanyi, nor a sycophant like Shi Zhicong who only knows how to flatter officials."

As soon as Wang Wuzi took office, he gave Yun Guo'er a dismount - a heavy slap on the face of Yun Guo'er who came to greet her, he glared at her and scolded: ", next time I can't sort out your flower intestines, carefully I will take a pair of scissors and cut it for you!" ”

Then, under the dumbfounded gaze of Mrs. Yang, Li Wei and others, he regained his pleasant expression, and almost amiably smiled and bowed his hand to Yun Guo'er: "Miss Yun forgive me, the sentence just now was relayed to you by Miao Niangzi, and the old slave had to do it as a last resort and offended." ”

Yun Guo'er covered her cheeks with red eyes and turned her face away coldly.

Wang Wuzi maintained that kind smile and announced the punishment of Yun Guo'er in a very polite way: "I think Miss Yun is not good-looking, it should be caused by hard work for days, it is better to go back to the room to rest now, and in the next month, you don't need to take care of everything in the house, just rest in peace." I will also send someone to serve in front of the girl's room, and I will not let any idle people enter and disturb the girl. ”

After saying that, he tilted his head slightly, and immediately two little yellow doors stepped forward, holding Yun Guoer left and right, and taking her back to the room and putting her under house arrest. From then on, the women in the princess's house were in danger, and when they saw Wang Wuzi, they were like mice seeing cats, retreating and bowing their heads, and they didn't dare to come out. In front of him, even Mrs. Yang, who had always been arrogant, restrained a lot, spoke politely to him, and even spoke softly, without seeing the arrogance of the past.

After staying in the house, Wang Wuzi paid special attention to Li Wei's actions and sent many people to monitor him. When I saw it in my eyes, I couldn't help but feel excessive, so I said to him privately: "Isn't it too much for Sir to protect the princess with all his heart, but just to pay attention to the movements of the colt?" ”

Wang Wuzi sighed: "You have worked with me for many years, and this is the case with the princess, I don't have to hide it from you." This time, Concubine Miao Xian asked me to come, because she had been instructed. She understood that the princess hated the princess and that there was no possibility of reconciliation between the two, so she ordered me to keep an eye on the horse's behavior, and if there was any inappropriateness, such as disrespect or complaint against the princess, I would report it to the official family, so that I could ask the official family to allow the princess to be separated from the concubine and let the princess return to the palace for a long time. ”

I don't know if Li Wei felt his intentions, anyway, Li Wei's performance in the future was really impeccable, he came to greet the princess every morning and evening, knowing that the princess didn't want to see him, so he bowed outside the pavilion door, and then left silently, never disturbing the princess. He treats the princess respectfully, respects Wang Wuzi, and sometimes does not complain in the face of Wang Wuzi's deliberate provocation. And when Yun Guoer was under house arrest, he didn't let any maids sleep, so that Wang Wuzi couldn't even find an excuse to say that he was "lustful".

Yun Guo'er is also angry, she began a hunger strike after being grounded, and soon her breath was dying, and Wang Wuzi had no intention of letting her out, no matter how Li Wei and Mrs. Yang pleaded. Later, it was I who opened Yun Guoer's door, helped her out, and sent her to Mrs. Yang.

Mrs. Yang was surprised: "Mr. Liang let her out, did Mr. Wang give permission?" ”

I shook my head and said, "It's okay, I'll explain it to him." ”

When I was about to leave, Yun Guo'er suddenly asked me to stay, and then asked in a low voice, "Do you also think that I am trying to harm the princess?" ”

I thought about it and honestly said, "I'm not sure. ”

"And you're going to save me?" Yun Guoer asked.

I said, "I can't watch a man die in front of me." ”

She smiled sympathetically: "You've always been like this......"

With a moment of dry eyes, she wiped away the superfluous emotions and found a calm tone: "I want to try to get the princess to accept her husband, if not, then let her get pregnant, and give birth to a child of her own, so that she will have sustenance in her future life, and she will have a reason to live - after you leave." ”

After a long silence, she slightly curled the corners of her lips: "Don't stare at me so surprised. You must also think that you and the princess will be separated sooner or later. ”
