Chapter 43: Candle Tears (21)
Mu Yi felt very helpless: "Then what should I do, I can't interfere too much in human affairs, is it possible to knock him out and throw him to King Ji's Mansion?" ”
The man said: "But you know that Bu Niannian will not have children, and given the current situation, it is impossible for him to have children." ”
"What then?" Mu Yi looked at the man for a long time, and said pitifully: "Lord Qi, I have been delayed in Shengjing for eight years, and I can't wait any longer." ”
Qi Xuan ate the pastries with satisfaction, and answered the question: "Don't you get angry with me?" ”
"How can I be angry with Lord Qi in this case?" Mu Yi said flatteringly: "You tell me the truth, when will this thing come to pass?" ”
After all, Qi Xuan didn't resist the flattering gaze, and his heart was crossed, and he said, "Don't worry, it's only been these two years." ”
"It's going to be two more years." Mu Yi lost her vitality and lay on the table with a wilt.
Two years, six years, two more years, either waiting or waiting on the way, when is it a head.
The coal lying on Mu Yi's lap looked up and looked at her suspiciously: "Ninety years are coming to an end, soon, what are you anxious about?"
"Sleep your sleep."
Mu Yi no longer paid attention to the broken thoughts of coal, but just lay on the table and looked at the sky in a corner.
"Niangniang, the emperor specially instructed me to dress up better, so you don't have to struggle." Feihua pressed Bu Niannian, who had been trying to escape, on the stool, and said earnestly: "Today is your birthday, but the slave maid heard from the official father-in-law that the emperor has been preparing for a long time, in order to give you a surprise." ”
Bu Niannian felt that the gold and silver hairpins on her head were pressing her neck and about to break, but when she heard that Gu Xiang had been preparing for her birthday for a long time, she still couldn't suppress her joy: "Feihua, where are we going later?" ”
Feihua replied with a smile: "Niangniang, the emperor sent someone yesterday to let us go to Luofeng Garden, where is he waiting for you." ”
"What time is it?"
"It's the hour, and there's still an hour before the hour."
Although Gu Xiang told her to go over at the right time, Bu Niannian still couldn't bear it and went over early.
It's February, just after the end of the New Year, and the temperature in Shengjing is still slightly lower.
Bu Niannian remembered passing by the Maple Garden half a month ago, the whole mountain was still bare, and the branches of the trees had not had time to pull out new shoots after the snow melted, and even the birds did not want to stay longer. But the maple garden she saw now was a red mountain, and the fiery maple leaves hung all over the branches, adding a lot of warmth to people in the steep spring cold.
"Make the spring sunset and the maple arrive, just ask the beauty to show a smile."
A cold female voice came from behind, Bu Niannian turned around, saw that it was Qingyu, and said, "Sister, you are here." ”
Qing Yu was dressed in a pale cyan palace dress, with a single bun on her head, and a few jade hairpins dotted among them. walked to Bu Niannian's side, looked at her and quipped: "Niannian, in ancient times, King Zhou You smiled at the Beacon Fire Drama in order to praise you, and now the emperor dyes the garden full of red maples for you in spring, it seems that the emperor really likes you." ”
Bu Niannian suddenly became embarrassed, blushing and saying with a little twist: "Sister, you just make fun of me." As he spoke, he looked behind Qing Yu, found that only the maid and the eunuch were followed, and asked, "Didn't Sister Mei come with you?" ”
Qing Yu sighed when she heard this: "Ah Yan suddenly felt a cold yesterday, I'm afraid I'm going to be late." ”
"Sister Mei is sick? Is it serious? Bu Niannian was shocked, she had been busy these days, and she didn't know that Mei Yan was sick.
Qing Yu shook his head and comforted: "The imperial doctor said that it is not serious, and it only needs to be raised by a good student." After speaking, he pulled Bu Niannian and walked up the mountain: "Don't worry, let's go up first." ”
Originally, there were no large buildings in the maple garden, only some pavilions were scattered in it. Gu Xiang thought about it for a long time at that time, and finally with a wave of his hand, he decided to build a small palace in Luofeng Garden. In order not to make people see the flaws, he built the palace on the top of the hill, so that under the shade of tall trees, as long as you don't look carefully, you won't notice it. In addition, there are no plum blossoms in the maple garden, so few people come here in winter.
"Thoughts." Bu Niannian stood at the door and looked at the plaque hanging under the eaves and whispered, the two vermilion characters pierced straight into Bu Niannian's heart like a sharp sword, making her lose her armor and collapse the army.
The official flag stood at the door and said respectfully: "The slave greets the two maids, and the slave takes the two maidens in." ”
I only saw the official flag but didn't see Gu Xiang, Bu Niannian asked, "What about the emperor?" ”
The official flag said: "Back to Niangniang, this slave doesn't know, the emperor only let the slave wait for you here." ”
Bu Niannian nodded: "Let's go." ”
The palace has been completely renovated, and all the furnishings are arranged according to Bu Niannian's preferences. Walking to the backyard, you will be greeted by a huge maple tree with fiery red leaves fluttering in the wind. Under the tree was a pavilion, and on the opposite side of the pavilion was a small pond, and a stage had been set up beside the pond, and now it was singing Farewell My Concubine.
Bu Niannian and Qingyu walked to the pavilion and sat down, the delicate delicacies in front of them emitted a sultry fragrance, Bu Niannian looked at everything in front of him, and his heart was burning badly, and his eyes were red.
Ah Xiang, I have you in this life, no regrets.
The sun gradually went up, Gu Xiang never appeared, during this period, Qi Xuan, Mu Yi and Gu Duan arrived one after another, Bu Niannian asked again: "Father-in-law, when will the emperor come?" ”
The official flag shook his head: "Back to Niangniang, the slave doesn't know." ”
When it was time for lunch, Gu Xiang still didn't show up, Bu Niannian finally couldn't sit still, she was going to find Gu Xiang.
Qingyu grabbed her and whispered: "Nian Nian, the emperor may be stumbling over something, don't be impatient." You are the protagonist of this birthday banquet, do you want to leave the scene and wait for the people to leave? ”
Bu Niannian looked at the people in the pavilion, and finally sat down. Qingyu is right, Princess Zhaoyang is here, the prince is also there, and Lord Qi is also there, she can't go.
Gu Duan looked at Bu Niannian, who was fidgeting, and asked Mu Yi in a low voice: "Sister Huang, why hasn't Brother Huang come yet?" ”
Mu Yi shook her head, she didn't know what medicine was sold in Gu Xiang's gourd.
Bu Niannian finished her lunch like a torment, and just now, she suddenly felt very panicked in her heart, as if something was about to overflow.
After the banquet, Bu Niannian walked straight to the Qianyuan Hall under the leadership of the official banner, she was very afraid, afraid that something would happen to Gu Xiang, and the feeling of uneasiness in her heart was even stronger.
Qingyu was not at ease after all, and went with Bu Niannian.
The door of the Qianyuan Hall was closed, there was no one at the door, and Bu Niannian's hand on the door suddenly didn't dare to move.
She suddenly remembered that Gu Xiang chatted with her a few days ago, saying that Emperor Jiang sent someone to discuss matters and wanted to cooperate and jointly develop the territory. But Gu Xiang refused, he said that the people of Jiang Guo were having a hard time, and Fu Qi was too ambitious and iron-blooded, so he was not a good partner.
She wondered what she would do if Gu Xiang lay there lifeless after opening the door.
"It's okay, don't worry." Qing Yu saw Bu Niannian's uneasiness, comforted her softly, and then pushed open the door of the Qianyuan Hall with a bang, making a long squeak.
There is a vague fragrance in the hall, which has a good effect on calming the nerves, and Bu Niannian breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, there is no smell of blood.
Looking around, there was no one in the front hall, and he walked back. Then she froze at the door of the apse, and under the heavy veil, she seemed to see two men.
There were clothes scattered on the floor.
Bu Niannian remembered that yesterday Gu Xiang was still wearing that dress and asked her if she looked good, and she said that Ah Xiang looked good in anything.
She also remembers that when she was just starting to learn to make clothes, the stitches were always uneven, and it took a long time to get these two clothes.
One was given to Qingyu, and the other was given to Mei Yan.
