Chapter 164: Fortune Teller
Ye Xintian woke up from the nightmare, sat up, raised her hand and wiped the fine cold sweat on her forehead, she would dream that day Yi Sijin asked if it was something she overheard, how did she fool the past at that time, she forgot, she only remembered that she came back to her senses and had returned to Mingyue Pavilion.
At that time, Chunke saw Ye Xintian hurriedly running back to Mingyue Pavilion, intimately pouring tea and water, and asking what happened, she just shook her head vigorously.
Then, this matter became something on her mind, and it always ran out of her dreams, causing her to be in a state of high tension all the time.
She sighed and decided not to stay in the palace today, as long as she was in this place, it was as if this matter had not passed. What's even more amazing is that Yi Sijin hasn't been to her since that day, as if the answer to this matter is not important to him at all.
However, Ye Xintian was suspicious all day long, looking at the door of Mingyue Pavilion in a daze, and at any time he saw the corner of Yi Sijin's clothes with his front feet, and his back feet slipped away.
The knock on the door sounded, and the force was just not light or heavy, so that Ye Xintian in the room could hear it clearly, and it would not disturb the person who was asleep.
Ye Xintian raised his arms and stretched his waist, turned over and got out of bed, and responded, "Come in." ”
Chunke pushed open the door with one hand and walked in, holding a booklet that almost obscured her vision in the other hand, she put it neatly on the table and said, "Manager Fang said that these should be handled by the princess herself." ”
Ye Xintian spit out the toiletry, took the dry cloth hanging on the shelf, wiped his face indiscriminately, walked over, opened one of the books casually, twisted his eyebrows and said, "Chunke, you can help me look at it." ”
"Princess," Chunke called, paused, and then said, "Is the affairs of the palace really going to be handed over to me for half of the matter?" Aren't you afraid that I'll betray you one day? ”
If Ye Xintian doesn't care about the affairs of the palace, and hands them all over to Chunke, it is equivalent to handing over a part of the real power to her, and people's hearts are the easiest to change.
Ye Xintian chuckled, waved his hand, and said without worrying at all: "If you want to betray me, I will be betrayed a long time ago, so you don't have to wait until today." ”
"Princess, it's a very bad habit to trust a subordinate like this." Chunke reminded.
Ye Xintian stopped smiling, blinked and said, "In my place, you are not a subordinate, you are a confidant and a caring friend." ”
"The princess should not treat her subordinates as friends, you are the master, and we are the servants who serve."
"With me, all men are created equal, and our relationship is reciprocal." Ye Xintian put his arm on Chunke's shoulder and said.
"But ......"
"Okay, don't say any more, wait a ride with me." Ye Xintian interrupted what Chunke was about to say, this kind of tirade, it was not the first time she had heard it, and it was always good to stop it early.
Ye Xintian remembered that Chunke was the first person to lend a helping hand to herself, the first person to cry for her, and the first person who didn't treat her as mentally ill, all of which told her that Chunke was a person who treated her very well, and she couldn't forget her roots.
Chunke lowered her shoulders and sighed helplessly, she knew that she couldn't say anything about the master, so she could only obediently close her mouth.
Ye Xintian pulled Chunke to sit down, called Qingling, and the three of them sat down at the table together and finished breakfast.
After breakfast, Ye Xintian took Chunke and Qingling out, and the first stop was the bubble tea shop, telling Boss Chen the opening day, and made a detailed opening celebration, which she would arrange in person.
Then, they came to Yipinju, walked into the reserved box, and quickly closed the door to prevent others from entering, and there were already several young women waiting inside.
Ye Xintian sat on the stool, pointed to one of the women and said, "Let's start with you first." ”
"My master, every day I go out early and return late, without exception, I come to Yipinju to drink tea during the day, find three or two confidants to talk to my heart, I don't care about political affairs, I don't want to participate if I don't want to participate, I will go to Piaoxiang Courtyard every night, stay for a while, mainly talk to Miss Qing'er, and I won't go back to the house until late at night." The woman took out a small notebook and carefully said what was written inside.
"Next."
Another woman stepped forward and said something that had been in her heart for a long time, "Only the servants in the house know about the feud between the lord and the lady, and last night they quarreled until dawn because of the imprisonment of their relatives, and all the slaves were silenced in the morning, and no one was allowed to speak out. In another incident, Madame took advantage of the absence of the old man to bring home a painter who called her a portrait, and in fact was in her room for almost two hours. ”
"Hmm." Ye Xintian answered while drinking tea, her eyes flashed with a strange light, and those who were interested could see that she was actually full of bad thoughts, so she waved her hand to signal the next one to continue.
The last woman nodded and stepped forward, she said: "My master goes to the morning court on time every day, and after the morning court, he will stay at the military aircraft to discuss political affairs until noon, but the master did not go home, but came here and met a girl named Bai Weiwei, they talked in the box, the content of the conversation was unknown, and soon came out, and the white girl still had two lines of tears on her face, which made people feel distressed. ”
Ye Xintian raised her eyebrows when she heard Bai Weiwei's name, a faint smile rose at the corner of her mouth, she reorganized today's report in her brain, and she had no clue for the time being, so she said: "In the future, we will see each other less, in order to avoid attracting attention, small things are exchanged by letters, and big things can't be decided, it depends on your ability, how to find me, each of you should know in your heart." ”
Today she had only met three of the handmaidens, and the places where these three were located were very important, and she had to hurry. Moreover, these three places are also the most easily lost, and she has to keep an eye on them all the time.
As soon as the words ended, there was an argument on the other side, and then the door was pushed open.
"I said there were people inside, why don't you understand, old man?" Chunke stepped forward angrily and blocked the door with his body to prevent the other party from making any further moves.
Ye Xintian noticed the abnormality, and had already stretched out her hand to signal the three women to hide behind the screen, and when the other party pushed the door open, she was the only one sitting in the room, sipping tea.
She looked up and saw an old man with a long beard and gray hair standing in the doorway, holding a bamboo pole with a white cloth hanging from it, on which was written the word 'fortune-telling'.
She narrowed her eyes and met the old man's eyes, but found that the old man's eyes seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts and go deep into their hearts. Her hand clenched tightly in her teacup, still with a faint smile on her face.
Chunke was anxious, took the old man's hand, and wanted to drag him out, "Old man, look, my master is really inside, please go back." ”
The old man was unmoved, looked at Ye Xintian and said, "Princess, can the old man come in and have a cup of tea?" ”
"Old man, please be seated." How could Ye Xintian not understand, the old man had something to say, he was greedy for a sip of tea.
Chunke put down the arm that stopped people, and walked to Ye Xintian's side resignedly, vigilant at all times, planning to pick people up immediately if something was wrong.
The old man sat down, put aside his fortune teller's bamboo pole, and unceremoniously picked up the teacup that Ye Xintian had just poured and drank it.
A sip of hot tea drove away the cold in the body and warmed people's hearts, the old man took a long breath, and then said: "The grace of a tea cannot be repaid." Princess, will the old man give you a divination? ”
"No, it's just a matter of hands." Ye Xintian shook his head, and then said: "I never believed that divination can know the future, so the old gentleman doesn't have to take it. ”
The old man smiled, as if he hadn't heard, took out the turtle shell, put in a few copper coins, and shook it up, the sound of the copper coins colliding with the turtle wall sounded, he said: "The old man can know the affairs of the world, can drive away evil and avoid trouble, can know the future, although the princess asks, the old man is not allowed to pay money to the princess." ”
Playing so big? Ye Xintian frowned, she had only heard of fortune tellers who wanted to give money, but she had never heard of fortune tellers who wanted to give money to others.
"The old gentleman's heart, I understand it in my heart, this tea, this meal, I invited the old gentleman." Ye Xintian took out a silver ingot from her sleeve, it was more than enough to pay for this table of food, and the rest was for the old gentleman, and after speaking, she got up and walked out.
With a bang, the copper coin fell out of the turtle shell and spilled on the table, and the old man spoke again: "The princess herself has reached the end of her life, a wisp of soul lives on others, and everything she does is not her intention, if you want to find a way to return, you need to return to the destiny of heaven." ”
Ye Xintian stopped suddenly, his eyes widened, he looked back at the old man in disbelief, his lips opened and closed slightly, and he couldn't say a word for a long time.
"Does the old gentleman know how to go back?" She has read all kinds of ancient books, but there is no record of these strange things, and she is about to give up, is this to send someone to her and tell her how to go next?
"The old man doesn't know, he can only tell the princess that the time has not yet come."
"When will it arrive?"
The fortune teller got up, took out a bag, handed it to Ye Xintian, and said, "If the princess encounters something that cannot be decided, and her life is at stake, she will send someone to find the old man according to the address above." ”
Ye Xintian took the bag in a daze, and said that he would give an address in half a day? Nothing else to explain? Or when will it be used?
All kinds of questions flashed through her mind, and when she looked up again, the fortune teller was gone, and she looked for it along the way out of Yipinju, but she never saw the back.
She sighed in disappointment and clutched the bag tightly in her palm, when her life was at stake? Was it really as she had thought, that she had to be a dead person before her soul could return to its place?
She looked at the crowded streets, everything here was completely different from the world she lived in, but there were many similarities, such as the billiards that day, was it time and space, or parallel time and space?
