Chapter 39 Checks and Balances in the Gardens
Yun Zhi Yuan.
After everyone left, Suzuge hurried to the inner room.
"The master punishes me, blame the slave and maid, how did you let that woman take advantage of her in the end?" Kneeling on the bed, Ling Ge looked remorseful and reluctant to look up.
Goya lay on the bed, her fingers clenched together, her nails even embedded in the flesh, and it was obvious how much endurance it took to hold back the bloodshot anger in her eyes.
"I thought that I would be able to take charge of the affairs of the palace in less than two years, but I didn't expect to make a trip to bite the gold halfway! I actually let her pick up a bargain, but don't be happy too early, I can make her laugh, and I can make her cry and leave! Goya was angry that the game he had done with all his might finally became a wedding dress for others, but it was not hatred from the heart, anger from the heart.
Lingge knelt on the ground, shivering at the knife-like resentment of his master.
After a long time, Goya, who had suppressed his anger, took a few deep breaths, and the stinging heart eased a little before he spoke.
"How's it going?"
Ling Ge was full of excitement, she didn't notice that she had knelt for too long, her legs were numb, and she took a breath of cool air with a "hiss......", but when she thought that Jin'er, who was always pretentious in front of her, was being tortured at this time, she couldn't help but feel happy in her heart, and replied with a sneer: "Back to the master, Lianhe shouldn't be able to survive tonight, and about Zhao Qi, I explained to Lord Song, the jailer will do it tonight, and no one will notice it." When the time comes, there will be no proof of death, and she Jin'er will open a hundred mouths, and she can't say clearly! ”
"Okay, do things cleanly, don't leave anything behind!" Gradually, the pain hit, and Goya said with some difficulty.
"Don't worry, master." Lingge replied again and again.
Goya glanced at the decoction on the table, and the sourness and bitterness that had grown from the bottom of his heart grew like weeds.
In the end, she couldn't hide it.
"Get up......" Goya was a little tired, leaning back on the bed and letting his hair spill down.
Ling Ge didn't care about the sore knees in his bones, reached out and covered Goya with a quilt, and muttered comfortingly: "Master, don't think so much, what you need most now is rest!" I'm afraid the lord will know about it tomorrow, you have to take it easy, don't let the lord worry! ”
Goya brought her a decoction and handed her a candied fruit after being busy with Lingge, but Goya waved her hand and refused, as if this suffering made her more sober, and it was not a bad thing for her.
Lingge then checked the charcoal basin, blew out the lights, and after helping Goya to lie down, he slowly lowered the silver mandarin duck curtain.
"Master, the slave and maid are here, just call me if you have any orders!" Lingge hadn't closed her eyes well for a few nights, but when something happened to her master, she couldn't sleep anymore, and she was worried that others would not serve her well, so she simply wrapped herself in a thin quilt and sat in front of Goya's bed.
Through the silver silk curtain embroidered with mandarin ducks and butterflies, Goya's low voice floated out: "You go out too, I'll be alone ...... quietly"
Lingge opened her mouth, but still closed her mouth, at this time, she couldn't comfort her master, perhaps, it would really be good for the master to be quiet.
After that, he gently retreated.
Now, I can faintly hear the sound of fireworks from other houses, shallow and brief. In the past, she was also looking forward to the New Year, but now, she has lost her original state of mind.
The more this happened, the more Goya felt that the room was very quiet. She stroked her lower abdomen, which had not changed much, and said sorry more than once in her heart, she had fantasized about the different appearance of the child, but now, there was nothing.
Tears slid down the corners of her eyes and dripped into her scarred heart......
Tonight, some people are destined to be happy and some worried.
Jing Wu was in Ning Shuyuan, and the sound of crackling fireworks and firecrackers outside seemed to be very messy in her heart now, and she couldn't sit still and simply paced around, looking at Ruochu from time to time, and asked over and over again as if she was stunned: "Ruochu, how can I accept it?" ”
Ruochu seemed to be used to it, and Shutong also looked at the master with a smile, and gave Ruochu another cup of hot tea and handed it to her. Ruochu took a sip, smiled and deliberately shook his fingers to describe Jing's uneasy appearance, and joked: "Sister, but you want to go back and forth like this for a long night?" ”
Jing Wu's face turned red with a brush, and she sat down and glared at her, "You'll laugh at me!" ”
Jokes are jokes, Ruochu remembered everything Jing Wu had said, and suddenly, he looked at Jing Wu very seriously, and said softly but firmly: "Sister, don't be presumptuous!" Since the prince has such a decision, it is definitely not a whim, he knows that his sister is safe, delicate and soft, and kind, and will definitely convince the people in the palace and be kind. In this case, sister, you can follow Fujin to learn with peace of mind, maybe it will be of great benefit in the future! ”
From Ruochu's warm eyes, Jing Wu gradually calmed down, she was right, the prince is such a safe person, she should believe him.
"Two masters, this is the first day of the first lunar month, let's Ning Shuyuan also have to be lively, Shutong took the maids to cut the window flowers, and the Spring Festival couplets written by the prince sent by the father-in-law of Sibao are better to paste them together, and they are also happy, and they have an auspicious idea, right?" It was Xiangluo who spoke, and he was specially happy to wear a peach-apricot cardigan jacket, embroidered with silk plum blossoms, which was pleasing to the eye at a glance.
"Okay, okay, I like this!" In the end, he is one year younger, and Ruochu only showed his girlish innocence and cuteness at this time.
Jing Wu was also infected, and her gloomy heart gradually dissipated, and she said with relief: "Hurry up and change your New Year's clothes, dress up again, and we also have a good intention!" ”
The maid and servant happily rushed to get things and put things on the table, so it was not lively.
Xiangluo was about to Zhang Luo and the others to dress up outside the garden when they were stopped by Jing Wu, she ordered: "It's good to dress up in Ningshu Garden, don't be too ostentatious!" ”
The pentagonal hanging lantern is hung high, the translucent light is embellished and shining, and an auspicious and dazzling light strip is held up in the Ningshu Garden in the square land, which seems to be a colorful ribbon, graceful and elegant.
A variety of window flowers Spring Festival couplets were carefully pasted by Xiangluo Qiangluo, and when they were all done, it was almost the fifth watch.
Ruochu was helped back by Caiyun and went back to the side hall to rest. There were only a few palace maids left who gathered in twos and threes to laugh. The only thing that was buzzing was the crackling sound of firecrackers.
Suddenly, Jingwu lay on the bed, no sleepiness at all, Goya's sad voice at night, Hui Ran's helpless eyes, and Lianhe, who was on the verge of death, were all clear at this moment. Previously, because of the crampedness and excitement of the prince asking her to manage the palace, she gradually calmed down, and Jing Wu was suddenly able to realize a sentence: accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger......
"Master, why don't you sleep yet?" Shutong gently cut a few candles that had been dripping with wax in the room, but Jing Wu heard the sound of turning over and sighing softly, afraid that the master would be uncomfortable, so she waited by the bed, bowed her head and asked softly.
Jing Wu knew that it was Shu Tong, so she raised her hand, and Shu Tong helped her sit up, and put a soft pillow on Jing Wan's waist.
"Xu is there too many things that happened today, and my brain is a little messy for a while, and I can't sleep......" Jing Wu said softly, revealing a faint astringency.
Shutong wrapped the stove in a brocade and handed it to Jingwen, and said in a low voice: "The master is kind-hearted, and the time to enter the house is short, it is inevitable that he will be frightened by the "joy and sorrow" in this high-walled compound, but the slave still wants to advise you, don't think too much, do your best only to listen to the destiny of God, we can't predict the blessings and misfortunes, can't stop it, it's better to look down on some things, carefully and carefully do everything seriously, and strive to have no regrets is true." ”
Jing was surprised that Shu Tong was accustomed to seeing the big things right and wrong, and also listened to what she said, "Maybe it's really me thinking too much!" You're right, being yourself is the best......" Jing Wu held the stove, and her heart began to warm, as soon as people were warm, they were easy to get tired, and she didn't wait long, she fell asleep a little tired.
