Chapter 675: Life in the Cold Palace Is Not Lonely (1)
Song Yi and Qiao'er confessed to each other, bringing each other's hearts one step closer.
Qiao'er also took more care of Song Yi because of her worship of the legendary real princess.
Of course, Song Yi didn't let go of the idea of asking Qiao'er to help him leave the palace.
But obviously, Qiao'er's worship still can't compare with her loyalty to Jurchen.
Qiao'er rejected Song Yi. And after knowing that Song Yi was the true princess of the Qianchao, she didn't care, and even said a little abusively, "Madam, there is one thing, I have been hesitant to tell you"
"What's the matter?" Qiao'er swallowed and vomited, but aroused Song Yi's curiosity.
"This morning, the servants heard that the palace people were rumoring about something, it was about the real princess, that is, the lady," Qiao'er said mysteriously.
"About me?" Song Yi looked surprised, because she really didn't know that she had fallen here, what other rumors could there be?
Qiao'er observed Song Yi's expression, and then said cautiously, "I heard that some time ago, the true king of the Qian Dynasty was seriously injured outside and recuperated for many days. A few days ago, it was suddenly reported that the real princess and the prince had disappeared together in the True Palace. The true king, who was far away in Youzhou City, was very angry and asked the emperor of the Qianzhao Dynasty to find out the whereabouts of the true princess. Outside there are legends that the real princess heard that the real king was injured and ran out of Kyoto, but her whereabouts are unknown."
Qiao'er's words made Song Yi fall into deep thought.
That's right, he did sneak out of Kyoto with his son Zhu Youde. She was not surprised at all that she could hide how long she could hide her running away from home.
However, she did not know that the True King did not tell anyone else about his whereabouts. Instead, choose to pretend not to know.
The reason for letting the true king do this, Song Yi can also understand. He was taken away by the Jurchen Khan, and no one would believe in his innocence, whether he was committed to the other party or not.
Instead, the truth of the matter is made public, and the rhythm is led by people with a heart. It's better to let the whereabouts of the real princess be unknown, and there is still room for turnaround.
Song Yi sighed, it seems that he didn't have a headache by himself.
"Madame, why do you sigh?" Qiao'er asked.
"Qiao'er, I've already told you who I am. I didn't think to hide it from you. You know, I am the princess of the true king. I also have two sons and a daughter. There's no way I'm going to stay here. I will definitely find a way to get out of here and go back to my own family."
"Ma'am, do you want to escape?" Qiao'er's eyes widened and she looked at Song Yi.
An escape word very aptly illustrates Song Yi's situation at this time.
"It's not so much that I'm escaping, it's better to say that I'm returning to where I should be," Song Yi said lightly.
Although Qiao'er has the blood of the Qianchao people, she has lived with the Jurchens since she was a child. Therefore, the behavior patterns are all Jurchen patterns.
She worships power, and the Jurchen women around her are probably like that. Therefore, in her consciousness, she never felt that it was such an unethical thing for a man to snatch a woman.
On the contrary, she thinks that a man who can act for the person he loves is a real man.
Qiao'er's attitude explained everything, and it also made Song Yi understand how difficult it was to explain these truths to the Jurchens. What is from the beginning to the end, what you don't want to do to others, all of them are hypocritical words for the Jurchens.
Song Yi didn't want to use a few words to help her, but she was still very confident that she could pull Qiao'er, whose humanity has not been completely extinguished, into her camp through her own efforts, and plot against Qiao'er.
However, Qiao'er's next sentence made Song Yi's head instantly bigger, "Madam, the slave can see that the Great Khan really likes you." Moreover, the Great Khan was the fiercest warrior of the Jurchens. Can't you just stay? ”
Qiao'er's words surprised Song Yi very much. It turns out that the customs of the Jurchen and the Qiandi Dynasty are so different.
If Qiao'er said this to herself in the Qianchao, she would be abused by everyone, and even said that she was shameless and drowned by spitting stars.
However, looking at Qiao'er's disapproving expression, Song Yi knew that it was a long way to go to change Qiao'er's concept.
"No matter how brave you are the Great Khan, you are not my husband, not the father of my children. Qiao'er, I know that you Jurchens think that it is a common thing for men to rob other people's wives. However, in our Qianchao Dynasty, there was a saying that 'a friend's wife should not be bullied' and 'taking someone's wife and daughter is like killing a father's hatred.'"
Song Yi also didn't know that she, a woman trained by modern education, would tell another woman the theory of three from four virtues and from one to the end.
However, Song Yi also knows that Qiao'er's mind cannot be changed overnight. Fortunately, Qiao'er is not one of those pedantic people who don't know how to be flexible.
Although Qiao'er couldn't say it, after listening to Song Yi's words, she still had some reflections.
In Yanlin Palace, Song Yi and Qiao'er's first night was spent in snuggling up to each other and warming each other.
Although it is still early autumn, the Yanlin Palace at night is a veritable cold palace.
Because no one has cleaned it for a long time, the courtyard of Yanlin Palace is overgrown with weeds. In addition, with the arrival of autumn, the grass turns yellow and becomes dead grass.
The decayed grass drooped and prostrate on the ground. The floor is covered with a thick layer of natural carpet. Walking on it, the sound of Sisi's friction is chilling.
"Madame, you get up so early? Why don't you sleep a little longer? ”
Song Yi was awakened by the eyes of the early morning. She found that Qiao'er had gotten up at some point. I also heard the sound of shovels shoveling the ground.
Song Yi didn't sleep well last night, maybe the unfamiliar environment made it a little difficult for her to sleep. In short, it was in the early hours of the morning that I finally fell asleep.
Today, although the mind is still not clear. But the inexplicable excitement of her brain made her unable to sleep anymore.
So, Song Yi got up. Then, I saw the scene in front of me.
Qiao'er is holding a small shovel to remove weeds in the yard.
Song Yi looked at Qiao'er who was struggling in the weeds and did not speak.
When Qiao'er got up and stretched herself, she found that Madame was standing under the eaves, so she laughed and said, "Madam, the slave is weeding." So far, no snakes have been found. You don't have to be afraid."
Qiao'er's words made Song Yi a little moved.
Could it be that last night, Song Yi was lying on the bed, listening to the sound of the wind blowing the weeds in the yard at night, and casually said, "There is so much grass in the yard, will there be snakes?" I'm most afraid of snakes."
At that time, Song Yi just said it casually. I'm afraid that Qiao'er this girl listened to it and got up early in the morning to weed.
Song Yi smiled and said, "Aren't you afraid, there are poisonous snakes in the courtyard?" ”
"The slave is not afraid, as long as the lady is safe"
Qiao'er's words moved Song Yi.
