067 Tasteless
Wang Jingshu was alone in the inner room to copy the palace rules.
Footsteps and the sound of doors opening from far and near suddenly rang out in the silence of the room.
The brush in her hand paused suddenly, who is coming here? I looked up at the window, and it was getting dark. It has been almost two hours since she returned to the prince's office from Fengyi Palace, and she also copied two hours. "I don't need to serve, just go out."
As soon as the words ended, a deep voice echoed in the room, "It's time for you to eat." β
Wang Jingshu's pen is another meal, who is it? Who is this voice?
I couldn't think of it all at once, but I didn't dare to turn around and look.
"It's time for you to eatβit's not early."
The sound reached her ears again. This time, she heard it clearly, it seems, probably, it should be, Lord Wang? After thinking about it again, he put down the brush and turned around to look, it was indeed the prince. It's really a rare guest, so he stood up and saluted, "Concubine to the prince!" β
Since he left the round house on the night, he has never set foot in the princess's courtyard, and if there is something to instruct, he will also ask the palace people to pass it on, and the relationship between them is even worse than before. It used to be cold at most, but now it's strange. Just as she didn't even know his voice, they were a strange couple.
As for whether they are husband and wife?
Probably not.
I'm afraid there is no colder couple than them in this world. She suddenly thought of those four words, respecting each other like ice, cold ice words.
Zhu Pei walked up to her and looked at the palace rules copied on her desk, and had to say that she had a good hand, and the soft and delicate hairpin flower Xiaokai looked beautiful and elegant on the white paper. He had always heard that the daughters of the Wang family were full of poetry and books, and now he looked at this word, it was worthy of the name, and there was a praise in his eyes that even he was not aware of, "This word is good." Then he gave her a hand and motioned for her to get up.
It was a rare compliment from him. Wang Jingshu was faintly happy in her heart, and pretended to be calm on her face, "Thank you for your praise." β
She has always called him the prince, and the princess next to her calls her own prince directly, so the comparison is a little more polite and alienated. As for him, he never called her by her name, and he was only called the princess before and after. They're like strangers.
Since he likes to be vassal, he is not as good as... Wang Jingshu scolded in her heart, maybe she should really be as the queen said, be positive......
- Don't you really care?
Not care...... In fact, she didn't know if she cared or not. Thinking about taking the initiative to speak.
didn't think about it, she hadn't opened her mouth yet, Zhu Pei opened her mouth first, "It's good to read poetry and books, but you also have to keep in mind the palace rules." You should be paying some attention to the rules these days. You should pay attention to this time. Zhao is certainly wrong, but you are also wrong to give her the waist card. She asked you, what if you don't have a warrant? But you say it's okay not to show up. β
A few words extinguished half of Wang Jingshu's fiery enthusiasm, her heart sank to the bottom, but it didn't hurt, maybe she didn't know how it hurt anymore.
If it weren't for his favor of Zhao, she wouldn't have to have any scruples to refuse directly. Now all these things have become her fault. There is such a truth in the world.
"This king didn't wronged you this time, did he?"
Wang Jingshu was annoyed by the waist card, and he always grabbed the handle when he made a mistake. I wanted to ask him about wronging her before, but after thinking about it, he squeezed out two words from his lips, "No." β
There is always too much helplessness in life. There are some things that have passed, why bother to mention them, they will dissipate in the years to come.
I thought she would say yes, Zhu Pei was obviously stunned, and then looked at the words on the table, somehow, probably because he was bored and needed to find someone to talk to, "There is no need to copy the palace rules today, talk to this king." "As for it, is it really confiding? Even he couldn't tell.
"The queen mother said......"
Zhu Peihe interrupted her with a smile, "What, do you listen to whatever the queen mother says?" β
Wang Jingshu replied, "I want to listen." β
Zhu Pei laughed jokingly all of a sudden, approached her, held Wang Jingshu's slender waist with one hand, and hooked her slender white chin with the other, "The queen mother told you to serve this king well, why didn't you listen?" β
"The queen mother told you to obey the king's orders, why didn't you listen?"
In Wang Jingshu's eyes, his whole person is magnified, and he looks a bit like a ruffian on the streets of Kyoto. She was so shocked that she had nowhere to put her two hands, but her face was unconsciously slightly red, this posture inexplicably touched the depths of her heart, and her voice was like a thin mosquito, "Wang, Wang, Lord-" I don't know if it's coquettish or ashamed. But he still had the courage to ask: "Do you want to let the concubine serve you?" β
"What do you say?"
The original meaning of serving was to be in bed. The pain of that night is unforgettable, the pain of that night is heartbreaking, and the tears of that night seem to be exhausted. Wang Jingshu didn't want to experience it anymore, so she instinctively refused this matter and found an excuse, "I, I'm not feeling well." After saying that, she almost regretted that she bit off the root of her tongue, and she seemed to use the worst excuse, "Concubine, I want to copy the palace rules." β
When Zhu Pei heard this, he let go of her instantly, and sneered twice, "What do you want to do, this king is just joking." He stared at her and slashed coldly, "Your body is tasteless, and this king is really not interested, use it again." β
Tasteless? Could it be that the next sentence, it's a pity to abandon it?
It's a pity to discard it if it's tasteless......
Wang Jingshu's chest was tight, and she only felt as if an overwhelming humiliation was rushing towards her. His eyes couldn't help but redden, and he took two steps back and kept his distance, "King Ning is joking, and the concubine is also joking." I'm not going to do that self-deprecating thing. β
"Heh, has Wang's daughter done less to be self-deprecating?"
He mentioned Wang Jingmiao's private meeting again, and it was getting dark and thorough, and this scene was really like that night. Wang Fu's daughter is afraid that he will be said to be a man for a lifetime, no, she will be secretly ridiculed by everyone for a lifetime, even if Jingmiao will eventually become the prince's concubine. In this world, it will not say that men are not, no matter what is wrong, it will be attributed to the head of the red face and disaster.
Wang Jingshu opened her mouth to say, "My sister may be contemptuous and cheap, but how good is the girl of the Chen family?" If she is really good, how can the prince know her in the boudoir? Why does the prince have to welcome her as a side concubine? She bit the four words 'to be in the boudoir' very hard, which has a deep meaning, and there is a hint of ridicule in her mouth, "I think Miss Chen often goes out to hang out, otherwise how could the prince who is busy with official business see her and look down on her?" β
Touching the three words of Miss Chen, the fire in Zhu Pei's heart was directly hooked, and he stared at her deadly, "Wang's!" β
Wang Jingshu pretended to be innocent and looked at Zhu Pei with wide eyes, "I said something wrong?" β
Zhu Pei stretched out his hand and grabbed Wang Jingshu's neck, he still wanted to talk to her, but he really did it too much, "If you dare to slander the reputation of the Chen family's girl, this king will definitely not spare you, nor will he spare the Wang family." β
Can't spare the Wang family? I'm afraid that being the king of Chaoning doesn't have that much ability.
Wang Jingshu suddenly had nothing to say, because it was useless to say more.
Anyway, she knew that such a provocative remark would not work at all.
"Lord Wang, the relationship between you and me, why should you be involved with the Wang family?"
Yes, this angered Zhu Pei even more. The hand tightened by two points, as if he had exhausted all his strength. In an instant, Wang Jingshu coughed violently, her face was red due to poor ventilation, and she looked even whiter under the light of the candle flame.
"Say it again, try?"
Wang Jingshu kept her face calm, stopped talking, and did not cough.
Soon, Zhu Pei shook his hand and left, looking so disdainful. Wang Jingshu gasped and leaned against the table, supporting her hands, their relationship was destined to stiffen again. I heard that the closest relatives are husband and wife, but they are so strange.
She couldn't read him, and he didn't have the patience to understand her. Maybe in this way, you don't have to pay emotionally, but how to get through the long years?
Wang Jingshu looked at the faint candlelight quietly, as if she saw a mother when she was a child. I still remember that her mother said that my sister-in-law should live freely and freely, and she should live for herself.
I once didn't understand my mother's deep and expectant gaze, and I was naΓ―ve and ignorant: how easy it is to live freely. But now I understand how difficult it is to live freely and freely for yourself, how difficult is it to do this short number of ten?
It's hard anyway, it's hard.
The queen lowered her posture and flattered her, and she couldn't learn it after all. In the end, she didn't care, or was she too careful? Suddenly, thinking of the girl Chen she just mentioned, she was a little curious, what kind of girl is she in the end?
I don't know how long it took, Wang Jingshu quietly copied the palace rules again, she is not the kind of sad and sentimental woman.
That night, she didn't plan to sleep.
The sky was getting darker and clearer, and the candles were still lit in the inner room of the princess's courtyard, and Zhu Pei ordered the palace people who were keeping vigil to make a bowl of hot five-spice noodles and send it over.
"Master, this is the five-spice noodles sent by the prince and the servant, you can eat it while it's hot. Five-spice noodles, but it's fragrant. β
Wang Jingshu was rubbing her sore wrist, a little incredulous, "Lord Wang? "The prince who just longed for her to die, is so kind at the moment? Actually brought her noodles?
"Yes, the prince commanded it. This noodle is freshly made in the kitchen. β
Wang Jingshu couldn't see it for a while, "You put it down, I'll eat later." β
The little palace maid couldn't say it all, "But, the king, the prince said that he wanted the maid to watch you finish eating, and then go back to pay the errand." β
Watch her finish eating?
What does he mean? Will it be humiliation again?
When she mentioned the prince, she was a little scared.
Wang Jingshu didn't have much appetite, she didn't want to touch the bowl of noodles at all, but she didn't want the little palace maid to be embarrassed, so she put down the brush and picked up the bowl of noodles, which was warm and fragrant.
I finished eating the noodles in a few moments, with the soup, and the bottom of the bowl was facing the sky. My stomach was comfortable, my mood was better, and the pain in my wrist gradually disappeared. This bowl of noodles feels very good.
As soon as the bowl was handed over, the palace maid took it, "Oh, I'm done eating, it tastes very good, you go back to the prince." β
"Yes, the servant is leaving."
The room was quiet again.
Wang Jingshu copied the palace rules, but she was not as careful and serious as before. It's like a bowl of spiced noodles that can mess up all her emotions.
