Two days later, the prince's letter reached Wang Jingshu.

-- We have arrived in Yanzhou and are hurrying on our way. It took about another two months to arrive in Pingzhou. The affairs of Ning Wangfu are entrusted to the princess, and if there is anything important, you can correspond again.

only to Yanzhou.

Wang Jingshu put away the letter and chatted with Caiyu, "They have just arrived in Yanzhou." I guess it's going to take two months. ”

"Lord Wang, they have a lot of people and things, and they definitely won't be able to go fast."

Wang Jingshu sighed lightly and didn't speak again.

On the contrary, Qingyun on the side talked about trivial things, "Master, do you want to disguise yourself and go to the streets of Qicheng to have a look?" Don't spend all day in the palace, but also go out for a walk. ”

"It's good to be in the palace, I don't want to go out." Wang Jingshu didn't want to refuse, but suddenly remembered Mrs. Yu's flower-viewing banquet before, "As for the Yu family's flower-viewing banquet, you go and refuse it for me." I always felt like there was something going on here, but I didn't want to get involved. Let's just say, I just arrived at Ning Wangfu, and it was too tiring to travel before, so it was inconvenient. ”

can't stand Qingyun thinking of the palace in his heart, "Master, how boring it is to be bored in the palace all day long." You still go out and observe the people's feelings. I've never seen the appearance of Qicheng. ”

Wang Jingshu didn't know Qingyun's thoughts, so she simply found an excuse to ask her to go out of the palace, "If you want to go out, buy some silk thread cloth for me and come back, I want to embroider something." ”

"Yes, what does the master want to embroider?" Qingyun chuckled, "I'll go buy some brightly colored silk threads." ”

Wang Jingshu snorted, and then ordered, "You go out with Youxiao, she hasn't been to the streets of Qicheng before, so let's go together." ”

"Okay."

Caiyu went out several times, and he was very familiar with Qicheng, and pulled Qingyun aside to tell something. Seeing this, Wang Jingshu smiled and went with them.

Qingyun listened very carefully to Caiyu's instructions. Soon after, she went out after picking jade, and she wanted to refuse Mrs. Yu's flower-viewing banquet for her master.

As soon as Caiyu left, Wang Jingshu waved away Qingyun and read a book alone in the house, as if there was nothing to do on weekdays. Because she is the only master in the palace, although there are many subordinates, the expenses are not too large, so the account books are turned over once every two or three days, and there is no big mistake. That way, she has less to do.

In this unfamiliar place, there are no elders, no close friends, no brothers and sisters. No, there are not even enemies in this huge Ning Wangfu. She wanted to talk to people, but she couldn't find anyone who could guess her thoughts. Xiaoxiao Caiyu is a subordinate after all, no matter how strong the master and servant are, they can't completely tell their hearts, and they will only listen to her. This is very similar to what others call a distant marriage, marrying in a strange place.

The loneliness of a person.

Wang Jingshu felt that she was about to be swallowed up by this loneliness.

She misses everything about Kyoto.

But this was only the first year after leaving Kyoto.

In the future, how will you survive this loneliness for so many years?

The "Analects" in his hand has been turned page after page, but how much has Wang Jingshu really read? Maybe even she doesn't know about it. But she knew that reading books at this time was nothing more than killing time and dissipating the loneliness in her heart. But it seems that the more you expel it, the more lonely it becomes......

In the room where the needle can be heard, the sound of dripping can be seen.

In the end, Wang Jingshu closed her eyes and slept on the couch, and the book in her hand fell to the ground.

It wasn't until late evening that Pinxiu tiptoed and knocked on the door that Wang Jingshu, who was sleeping on the couch, suddenly woke up, "Master, it's time for dinner." ”

"I won't eat it, you can divide the meal," Wang Jingshu picked up the book at her feet, she actually fell asleep, and it was evening again, but she didn't want to have dinner, she didn't have much appetite. "Don't come in, I want to rest for a while."

The master often doesn't have to eat, and now even the maids have to get used to it. Pinxiu is naturally not surprised, "Yes, then you can rest for a while." ”

Wang Jingshu, who was sleeping in Zhengxiang, was suddenly awakened and had not yet eased up, so sleepy that she went straight to the back room, took off her big-sleeved shirt alone, went directly to bed and wrapped herself in the quilt, and continued to sleep without thinking about anything. She knew she was wasting her time, but what could she do.

Soon it was getting dark, Qingyun and Youxiao had just returned to the palace after visiting the bazaar, and at the same time, Caiyu also came back from outside and saw that the lights in the main courtyard house were not lit, so he pulled a little maid passing by and asked, "Why is the princess not in the house?" The lights were not lit. ”

"The princess didn't have dinner, she said she didn't want to eat without an appetite. He also told the servants not to go inside, and she to rest. ”

So early, rested?

I still have something to tell you. Unexpectedly, the princess rested. She waved her hand and told the little maid to stand down.

At the same time, Xiao Qingyun came over with the things he bought from the bazaar, and the three of them met, "Master, have you rested so early?" Genius Black. ”

"Who said no, I heard the maid say that there was no dinner." Cai Yu added, "I was fine when I left, what's wrong?" It's rare for a master to rest so early......"

Qingyun looked at the pile of embroidery thread he was carrying, "We also brought something, I don't know where to put this thing, and I haven't asked the master yet." After looking at the jade picking, most of the things in the house were the final say, "Caiyu, where do you say it's good?" ”

"Put it in the right pavilion, the house is on the east side, and the light is good."

"It's fine."

Although there are east and west wings and backyards in the whole main courtyard, according to the rules of large families, it is not a house where the head of the house lives, and it is only used for the residence of children when they are young, so it is currently vacant.

And the row of houses in front of it is the house where the housewife lives. The main room is used for banquets and hospitality, and the inside is used for sleeping and bathing, and the long and wide left room is the place for eating, and then there is the storeroom and the kitchenette, they have two doors, which can be entered from the left room or separately, and the right pavilion is arranged into a study according to the requirements of the princess, and the light is the best.

The three of them led east and west to the right pavilion, placed the embroidery frame under the window on the east side, and arranged the silk threads in separate categories. A silk screen was taken from the storeroom and placed it to cut off the study. The long, narrow right pavilion instantly became the effect of two wings.

Qingyun thought this arrangement was very good, "I think it's very good. I'm sure the master will like it. ”

Caiyu has been with her master for so many years, and some things she knows very well, "The master has never cared about this kind of thing, in the past in Wangfu, she was happy to name her yard, but now she doesn't even have to take this, let alone decorate the house." In her opinion, it is good to be able to do things in the house. ”

Xiao made tea again, and the three of them simply sat inside and chatted.

In the past, they rarely mentioned the affairs of Wangfu, and Qingyun Youxiao naturally didn't know much, but now that they heard Caiyu mention it, they asked a few more words, "What was the name of the master's courtyard in the past?" ”

"Because the master has many brothers and sisters, the lord asked them to name their yard in order to prevent people from remembering the yard of the boy and the girl." Caiyu held the tea and recalled the past, "When I was a child, I was bought by Mrs. Wang to serve the girl, and the girl was only three years old at that time, and she had her own yard, called Jingyuan. My name is still given by the girl, and I know a little about the plum flute and the spring when I dye the willow smoke, and I also say that she likes this poem the most. Later, there were three big girls around her, and the other two were Blowing Plum and Zhiyi. None of them married with the girl, only me. Aoyagi was added later, originally a second-class maid, and then because she was willing to follow the girl to Pingzhou, she was promoted to a first-class maid, who knew that she and her grandmother did not come to Pingzhou, I thought they would come. ”

"The girl must be very disappointed in her heart, they didn't follow in the end, in fact, I am also very disappointed, since I said at the beginning that I would follow the girl forever, I can't go back."

Qingyun interjected, "What was the master like when he wasn't married?" ”

Caiyu tried to recall the past, "The girl in the past is not the same as the princess now. She is the best friend of Miss Qin, she is a close friend in the boudoir, and the two often have fun together. Enjoy flowers and butterflies in spring, boat on the lake in summer, climb high to admire the moon in autumn, and like to hide in the house to embroider flowers in winter if you are afraid of the cold. It seems that I don't want to do anything now. When the old lady was alive, she would also follow the old lady to live in the Wang Mansion in the north for a period of time and play with the cousin. ”

This Qingyun knows, "Is that Miss Wang, who Princess Anqing likes very much?" ”

"Yes," when she was in Wangfu, she even had good sisters in Caiyu, and now she has no friends in Pingzhou, she can only talk to Qingyun Youxiao, but sometimes people don't talk to her, after all, they have stayed in the palace for a long time and come out together. The only thing I know most about here is the girl. He sighed lightly, "Now that the girls are gone, the master must feel lonely." ”

Deserted –

Indeed, this is indeed the key.

"This palace is too big, even if the prince comes, it is very deserted, everyone closes the courtyard door, and the courtyard is a closed courtyard, in fact, it will feel deserted," You Xiao observed the layout of the entire palace, because of this kind of courtyard-style architectural design, even if they visit each other, there will be a corridor for a long time, "Fortunately, our master is the princess, so you don't have to go to ask others for peace, or it will take a lot of time to walk through the corridor." ”

Cai Yu was amused, and said casually, "No matter how big it is, it's not as big as the imperial city." When I accompanied the princess to greet the queen mother, my legs were sore. ”

"It's said that it's heaven's home, can it be big...... It is larger than several such palaces. ”

Qingyun suddenly said, "If you want me to say, the master should go out and walk around, and go to walk around the city." It's always going to be stuffy in the house. ”

Caiyu's troubles came again, "Hey, I haven't shirked Mrs. Yu's flower-viewing banquet yet, she insists on inviting the princess to enjoy the flowers." That's what I'm going to do right now. ”

Xiao frowned again, if the princess was reluctant to go out, it was said that it was such a reason, and Mrs. Yu could not be more assertive, "What's wrong?" But what else is going on? ”

Cai Yu sighed, "Guess who I saw just now?" He poured a cup of tea into his mouth and said to himself: "I saw Aunt Huang next to Princess Hexian in Yufu." ”

Everyone knows that Princess Hexian doesn't like Princess Ning, why did the aunt beside her suddenly come to Pingzhou, "Are you sure?" ”

"That's not it, Princess Hexian usually enters the palace. Of course Aunt Huang has seen it. As soon as I entered the Yu house, Aunt Huang left in a hurry, but I recognized the one who took the face. ”

And Princess Xianchang -

Xiao sighed again, "Maybe this Yu Mansion is also involved in the palace." ”
