Did she exchange a ginseng for the prince?
I don't know if it's a good deal!
Wang Jingshu was calm in her heart, and she couldn't help but secretly ridicule herself. But looking at those maids who were more excited than herself, she suddenly couldn't be happy again, how much they wanted the prince to come, no, how much they wanted to be favored.
When Zhu Pei came, Wang Jingshu had already changed her clothes and was ready to sleep, and when she heard that the prince was coming, she immediately put on her coat so as not to be rude. At this time, the two of them were sitting upright, because the brazier in the outhouse had long been extinguished, and the earth dragon was not burning vigorously, she felt cold when she sat with her long hair with her head down, but the atmosphere was even colder, and no one spoke.
The maids who had just been busy all went down.
The room was getting quieter.
I don't know how long, Zhu Pei was the first to speak, originally he waited for her to speak first, but he didn't expect her to be so quiet this time, unlike in the past, "Ago, a few days, it was... It's me who suspects you. β
Suspect?
That's not suspicious.
It's almost a conviction!
He never cares about the matter of meeting the side concubine.
Although Wang Jingshu thinks so in her heart, she is not a hypocritical person, just forget it, don't go through the old accounts if some things are over, but the words she said always contain a little self-deprecation, "It's okay, I'm okay anyway." β
Seeing her so calm, Zhu Pei didn't know whether he should be happy or sad, as for what he was happy about, he didn't know what he was sad about, and he didn't know what he was sad about. Seeing her answer like this, Zhu Pei didn't know how to speak. It seems that every time he talks to her, she always talks a lot, and he feels uncomfortable when he is quiet for a while.
"You, you're going to sleep?"
Wang Jingshu really didn't expect him to come, she was going to sleep, on such a cold day, she would rather get into the quilt, "Yes, it's cold, rest early." I thought you'd go somewhere else. How is the concubine's health now? β
Under the illumination of the candle flame, Zhu Pei's face was gloomy, and he had been telling the outside world that the concubine's illness was getting better every day, but in fact, it was not at all, he couldn't bear it in his heart, but he didn't know who to tell him, so he grabbed a cup of tea and drank it all, "It's not good, Lang Zhong said that heart disease still needs heart medicine." β
"Doesn't it say that one day is better than one day," Xuan even knew that this was a rhetoric to the outside world. Wang Jingshu couldn't care about being jealous at the moment, "Not long after Mrs. Chen passed away, she naturally felt uncomfortable, and her illness was getting better slowly, so she needed someone to accompany her at this time, so as not to think crankily." β
But only Zhu Pei understood in his heart that it was not because of Mrs. Chen. There are some things that he can't explain clearly in front of the princess, and he should always take care of face. Come to think of it, it was he who had to meet the concubine in the first place to get into such a situation.
At this moment he regretted it a little.
He doesn't understand such a thing as feelings.
"You say, your heart is cold, will it warm up?"
Zhu Pei's inexplicable question made Wang Jingshu confused. But seeing him staring at himself, he suddenly felt a little sad, "Maybe, yes." As the days go by, it will definitely be. And another sentence, "It is said that love arises over time, but in fact, isn't it the heart?" β
"Hmm-"
Wang Jingshu suddenly felt that the two of them were not suitable to be husband and wife, but more suitable to be allies, "Does the prince have something on his mind?" Because of the side concubine? "As soon as I guessed, I knew that it was because of the concubine's illness," Mrs. Chen was the mother of the concubine, who died suddenly, and she couldn't pay tribute, sadness was inevitable, and she would get better soon. β
Zhu Pei was upset, and rushed out a few words, "It's not because of Mrs. Chen!" β
Wang Jingshu couldn't figure it out, "Then how do you know that the side concubine is for other things?" Did you ask her? β
Zhu Pei was firm in two more words, "No." β
Really cherish words like gold!
The two couples were discussing a concubine at night, but there was no sense of disobedience. Wang Jingshu felt a little sad, but she was not a person who felt sad, and if she didn't talk about the side concubine, she didn't know what to say to break that dead silence.
"Since she didn't ask, how did the prince know what she really thought in her heart? How can you be so sure that Concubine Fang is not sad because of Mrs. Chen's death? β
Wang Jingshu couldn't figure it out, the side concubine was not sad because of Mrs. Chen's death at the moment! Is there anything more important than her mother's death to grieve her?
Zhu Pei was slightly stunned.
Wang Jingshu continued: "Lord Wang, everyone's thoughts are different, since you haven't figured it out, then don't jump to conclusions. Can you completely guess someone else's mind? No one can, even if his father is the king of a country, can he guess everyone's mind? β
"Even if you say that you know a person again, you can't guess all his thoughts."
"People live for a lifetime, so why bother with what others think in their hearts? If you are entangled in everything, you are just sitting in the city of sorrow and adding to your own blockage. β
In other words, do you really know what you think, what you really want? Sometimes people don't even know themselves, so how can they fully understand the minds of others? β
Zhu Pei looked at this princess with his eyes, and her words seemed to always make him feel empowered, "Heh, I'm not as transparent as you." β
Wang Jingshu smiled, I don't know how much helplessness there was in this smile, in fact, these words were also what she said to herself, "The authorities are obsessed with bystanders." "Sometimes people can't comfort themselves and persuade themselves...... Otherwise, who will come?
Zhu Pei couldn't see his princess clearly, "You have a lot of secrets hidden in you!" β
He could see other women, but she couldn't see her, this woman. Whoever told her to say something every time she said it was very philosophical.
"Secret? I don't think so. Wang Jingshu said instead: "I think there are a lot of things in you that I don't know, I can't see clearly, what is it." β
Or rather, no one can see clearly.
Zhu Pei couldn't help but retort, "Then you haven't understood." β
Unexpectedly, Wang Jingshu immediately followed up, and her sharp gaze swept over his inquiring gaze, "It's you who don't let me understand," paused, "You don't let everyone understand." β
"You love Concubine Side, but did you let her really understand you? How much does the queen mother know? β
"You always feel like we don't have a heart, because the Holy Decree has to be your woman. So what you do is what you say? You are also forced to accept it, and you have not let us really understand, so why should we open our hearts to you? β
"As you do to us, we do to you."
"Anyone should be willing to get along with each other." After wishful thinking for a long time, I feel that I am too cheap.
Obviously, she is younger than him, and she is a girl raised in the boudoir since she was a child, but she has so many truths to talk about, and he is speechless when she can still speak, "Why do you have so many truths at all." β
Today, he also has to talk to her well, and if he doesn't mention others, he will mention her, "Then you say, where do I not understand you?" β
"And when is my birthday, do you know?" Among so many women in the palace, I'm afraid you only know about the side concubine.
Zhu Pei was indeed stumped, "I, I, how do I know ......"
The more she talked, the more she felt that she had failed, Wang Jingshu looked a little embarrassed, and she didn't know what it was like in her heart, she would never be happy, "I don't even know my birthday." That's why you think I have a lot of secrets, a lot of things that you don't know.
Zhu Pei began to argue strongly, "You haven't told me what day it is." You said it, and I remembered it. β
Wang Jingshu smiled, "The prince is busy, so it's okay if you don't remember." "It doesn't matter if you remember this little thing or not. What do you remember, what if you don't?
Suddenly I heard him say, "Are you still angry, about the last quarrel?" β
Last time you quarreled?
Because of things that cannot be communicated...... Wang Jingshu was not angry, but hateful, but she would definitely not say this in her mouth, "No, the prince is too worried." β
Just returned you, me, and suddenly changed his name to the prince when he talked about it, Zhu Pei knew that she was pretending, "Is there any, you know it in your own heart." β
Wang Jingshu was very simple, "I don't understand." β
"What don't you understand?"
When it came to the previous quarrel, Wang Jingshu couldn't control herself from getting angry, "There are so many things I don't understand, can the prince be interested in giving me answers one by one?" β
Zhu Pei was a little weak for some reason, "I have already said it before. β
Knowing that she mentioned that she couldn't communicate, but he really couldn't do anything about it, "Can't communicate, it's not my stipulation, it's the ancestors' stipulation." I can't help it. β
You are the most severe enforcer!
And only for the princess!
Speaking of this, she had a lot of grievances in her heart that she couldn't confide. But her heart is also clear, but she doesn't want to say some questions, and it's better to rot in her stomach once in a while. She didn't want to mention some old accounts, "Have you favored one over the other?" You know it in your heart! β
"But I've told everyone that you can't communicate, you can't communicate with anyone!"
"Since the prince means this, then I naturally want them to follow suit one by one, so that they can please you."
Zhu Pei suddenly realized.
Two days ago, he asked Er Yan if he wanted to communicate with the Chen family? Or you can arrange for a carriage to escort her back to Beijing. But I heard a few words from Deryan Yin and Yang. He didn't understand it at the time, but now he understands everything.
Since she keeps saying that she favors one over the other, Zhu Pei has no choice, so he can't really do it.
"Since you've said it, so be it."
"It's up to you."
Wang Jingshu immediately followed as if she was not enough, "It's not me, it's them." It is necessary to be fair everywhere, and since it is to be fair, it should be treated equally. I can't communicate, so don't think about it. β
Zhu Pei suddenly felt that such a conversation was really tiring, and she made it clear that she was not angry, and she was purely vindictive. The next words were unspeakable, so he simply stood up and was about to leave, "Even if you want to retaliate, you should find the right person." β
Wang Jingshu was stunned.
Immediately watched Zhu Pei leave, looked at the back, with tears in his eyes, and muttered, "I also want to find the right person, but who made you ...... me"
Don't talk about it.
However, as soon as Zhu Pei came out of the outhouse, he ran into Caiyu and asked in person, "Do you know the birthday of your master?" β
He still remembered this, what the princess did not tell him.
"It's the tenth day of August."
Zhu Pei said twice, "I rememberβ"
Won't forget next time.
