Chapter 16: Take pity on those in front of you
The high fever that Shen Yun accidentally fell into the water did scare Xiao Cong a lot, he planned to go to Jingyi to rest that day, but when he saw the performance of those people at the family banquet, he knew that things were not so simple, although Gao Qinian went to see it and said that it was okay, but he still felt uneasy, so when the banquet was over, he said to Jingyi: "You go back to the dormitory first, and the palace will come over to the bamboo house." ”。
Jingyi saw that he was already drunk, and said a few words to the attendants, and after seeing him leave, he also went back to the dormitory.
But said that Xiao Cong came to the bamboo house, saw that it was quiet inside, thinking that Shen Yun must have fallen asleep at this time, so he didn't let people report, and only then entered the courtyard gate, he saw Pei Zhu dozing outside the house alone, and there was no light in the house, so he carried the lantern and touched it lightly into the inner room, but saw Shen Yun lying on the couch alone, sleeping very unsteadily, it seemed to be a nightmare, and his breathing was a little short, so he sat on the side of her couch, and wanted to hold her hand to comfort him, only to touch it, he felt that the temperature was wrong, and reached out to probe her forehead, Sure enough, it was also hot, so shocked that he was completely drunk, and he hurriedly called someone to light the lamp and fetch water to ask the medical officer, and when the servant and maid brought water, he hurriedly wiped the cold compress for her.
Pei Zhu had been awakened at this time, and he was still rubbing his eyes blankly, but he was kicked by Gao Qinian, and scolded in a low voice: "Dogs, how do you serve them on weekdays?" You don't know that your Lord is sick like this, but what about any other person? Where did you go? All of them are so uncomfortable..."
He was scolding, Luo Ying came back from outside, he scolded her again, Luo Ying didn't dare to cry or confess, she just kept saying "The villain should die", or Xiao Cong listened impatiently inside, and said: "That's it, what are you doing noisily, it's useless for you to scold them, let her hurry up and serve first, and then punish them when she is ready." ”。
Why does Shen Yun have a high fever and no one knows? It turned out that after Luoying served her to sleep, she talked to Peizhu outside the house, and when she wanted to go back to the house to see her, she heard three whistles outside, so she had to say to Peizhu: "You keep a good guard here, I will go to the garden to pick a loquat leaf, and tomorrow I will fry water for the lady to drink." After speaking, he went out with the lantern, Pei Zhu did not doubt that he had it, so he honestly stayed outside the house, and when he was sleepy, he took a nap.
But said that Luoying, since Xiao Yu threw her a piece of hair from her younger siblings, had to agree to his unreasonable request to "help take care of Manji, and pass on some news by the way", when she heard the secret signal of the appointment, she went to an abandoned utility room next to the west corner door, and someone was always waiting there.
This time, after she briefly told the man about the recent situation, including tonight's events, the man muttered for a moment and said, "You are looking for an opportunity to poke this matter out, and make as much trouble as possible, so that you can vent your anger for your lady." Luo Ying nodded in agreement, and said in her heart It seems that this Jin Yangjun is still a little sincere to Manniangzi, at least he pays attention to her situation from time to time, and wants to be angry for her, but so what? People and Donggong are now in love, even their subordinates are happy and envious when they look at it from the side, as for his Jin Yangjun's thoughts, although he can also sigh, but who asked him not to hide her well in the first place, blame the ruthlessness of heaven.
So she ignored Shen Yun's instructions and told the princess about the night in front of the crown princess, but she didn't know Xiao Jue's purpose, she just let Shen Yun and Zhao Yue make a lot of trouble in the East Palace. As for the so-called "care", it is actually a pretext to deceive her that this little girl is willing to spy on the situation in the East Palace, Xiao Ling and his adviser Fan Li both know that although they are smart, the East Palace is not stupid, if they directly ask Shen Yun to hand them any news, first, it is easy to be discovered by the East Palace, then this perfect chess piece is really blind, and secondly, after three years of getting along, Xiao Ling has already seen that Shen Yun is not the kind of person who is willing to be anyone's chess piece, he also wanted to coax her to use a sincere heart for his own use, but he failed, It's the same, how can a woman like her be so easy to coax. It's just that what they didn't expect was that this Donggong and Manniang had already unconsciously made a heart-to-heart agreement, so this time, they all forbearance for each other, a storm that seemed to be going to make a big fuss, and in the end, it didn't even rain, which made them so disappointed.
But soon Fan Li said to Xiao Jue again: "It's okay to let the two of them love each other to death, as soon as this person has a good heart, he has a weakness, and when the time comes, this woman will unconsciously help Wang Jun to become a big thing." ”
Although Xiao Jue didn't have a taste in his heart, he said that my eldest brother is really a good means, I couldn't get the woman's heart with all my efforts, how could he do it easily. But when I think of my "big things" to be expected, I no longer stick to these "small sections".
It's a pity that a person like him, how can he understand, as wise as Shen Yun, how can he not distinguish the difference between "scheming" and "sincerity".
Jingyi, after taking care of Shen Yun, sighed on the way back to the dormitory with the Liu family: "Fortunately, it's okay, otherwise the good days of our people in the East Palace will come to an end." ”
Liu also sighed: "Isn't it, since the death of the queen, it is rare for us to have a banquet in the East Palace, and even more so after Xu Liangdi goes, His Royal Highness doesn't even have his own birthday, let alone this month's New Year's Day, this year is also a rare joy, and he took the initiative to hold a family banquet, but it turned out to be this thing." ”
"Yes, since Manji came to the East Palace, the smile in His Highness's eyes is more than one day, everyone was living in harmony and harmony, but suddenly something like this happened, Lone is really afraid, in case she is also like Ah Yan... The consequences are unthinkable. ”
"Speaking of Xu Liangdi, she is really a blessed person, why did she go like that."
Jingyi heard this, but did not answer, she was not without doubts about what happened back then, on the contrary, when Xu Yan suddenly fell ill, she actually saw some clues from Queen He's attitude, but everything is just her own speculation, and there is no empirical evidence, if she rashly stands up and speaks, if she doesn't do well, she will be burned, maybe others will just deduct the charges on her head, after all, the most reason to harm Xu Yan is precisely her Li Jingyi. So she could only watch Xu Yanxiang die, but she didn't want to think that since then, Xiao Cong seemed to have changed as if she had changed a person, although she was still gentle and peaceful on the surface, but the enthusiasm in her heart had already been buried in the loess with Xu Yan's coffin.
Fortunately, God favored him and sent him the current Man'er, looking at his appearance, he was more concerned than he was to the former Grandma.
She didn't mind at all, but she also knew very well that even if she didn't have this Manji, Donggong couldn't have any other feelings for herself except for respect, but thinking about it was just a matter of each flower in her own eyes, so she wasn't very entangled in it.
Before that, she was worried about what the Liu family said, this Manji came out of the Jinyang Jun's mansion, and it was indeed possible to harbor evil intentions. But then I watched coldly for many days, and saw that Donggong herself had tried, she was indeed a person who was not interested in the struggle for power and profit between their men, and at first in order to avoid these things, she would never even approach the study of Donggong, and then she became more and more affectionate with him, and they withdrew their precautions from each other, so they no longer paid much attention to these.
Coupled with getting along with her for a long time, she naturally saw the casualness and freedom behind this Manji's humility and courtesy, and then with today's incident, she really liked this woman in her heart, yes, such a person who understands taste, is sensible, knows how to advance and retreat, and does not lose his frankness, who doesn't like it?
But said that after Shen Yun's high fever subsided, although the condition was a little recurrent, but under the supervision of Lingxi day and night, he was quickly cured, and on the seventeenth day of the winter month, Xiao Cong originally planned, but he was stumped by some temporary affairs, and almost missed someone else's birthday, fortunately, Su Huaijin saw that he was a little absent-minded when discussing with him, thinking that he was tired for several days, so he took the initiative to take care of everything, and he hurried back, but he also muttered in his heart, it was so late, I am afraid that he had already slept.
Who knew that when he arrived at the bamboo house, he happened to hear Lingxi talking about Ah Yan behind the door, so he couldn't help but eavesdrop for a while, after listening, his heart was mixed, and he remembered the good of the old man, and the pain could not be suppressed, so he waited until Lingxi cried and fell asleep, and then went over to pick her up from Shen Yun's arms, and was about to take her back to the plum garden, but Shen Yun said lightly: "That's it, don't toss, let her sleep here today." At this time, it was too cold outside, and she drank so much wine that she was afraid of the wind when she went out. Xiao Cong put Lingxi on her couch according to her words, thought about her own thoughts, turned around and was about to leave, but heard Shen Yun say quietly: "Chengze, can you accompany me?" But as soon as she saw his frowning eyebrows slightly when she turned around, she lowered her eyes again and said, "I'm sorry, I'm too greedy... Let's go. ”
His heart ached, and he turned back and hugged her in his arms and said softly, "What are you talking nonsense again?" ”
Shen Yun's eyes were red, the corners of his mouth barely pulled out a smile, and said to himself, "I can't control myself, I keep telling myself, don't be too greedy, don't think too much, it's good now, don't be dissatisfied, but I still can't control the greed in my heart, I want more company, more accommodation, I want your heart to belong only to me..." I can't control it..."
Xiao Cong was also full of sentimentality when he heard her words, so he kissed her forehead deeply, pulled her to Lingxi to lie down, put the quilt on her, and said, "You are drunk, go to sleep." ”
Shen Yun really closed his eyes obediently and said, "Yes, it's all drunken talk, Your Highness will forget it tomorrow." ”
Xiao Cong saw the two tears that slipped down the corners of her eyes clearly, so he held her hand with one hand, caressed her eyebrows with the other, and waited until she fell asleep before leaving quietly.
After returning to the dormitory, he took out Xu Yan's portrait, stroked the eyebrows and eyes of the person in the painting and thought silently, Ah Yan, I'm sorry, I still fell in love with someone else and failed you. After thinking for a while, he fell asleep with the portrait and clothes, and in a trance it seemed that he had returned to the dormitory of the southern capital, and Ah Yan was sitting in front of the mirror combing her hair, and when she heard him call her, she turned around and smiled at him, and suddenly pulled him to run to the city tower to put the Kong Ming lantern, and there were a few words written on the lamp: I hope that people will last a long time. But he recognized it at a glance, it was Shen Yun's words, and when he looked up again, Ah Yan had run away a long way, he wanted to chase, but he couldn't catch up, chased to a clearing, only to see Shen Yun and Lingxi running crazy to put paper kites, when he saw him, he was also smiling at him, but laughing and laughing, many tears fell in her eyes, and Ah Yan ran to the edge of the forest, shouted something to him, flashed over the rockery, and disappeared.
He opened his eyes suddenly, and woke up from the dream, still trying to remember what Ah Yan was shouting, when he heard Gao Qinian outside: "Your Highness, it's time to get up." ”
He replied: "Got it", remembering that there were still some chores to deal with today, and besides, he had been preparing for so long, and he still had to make up for his birthday, and he still had to give gifts, so he cheered up, what should he do.
When he finished dealing with the matter, he hurried to the bamboo house, but only saw Peizhu, and only after asking, he realized that Shen Yun and Lingxi went to the princess to fix the province together, he calculated the time, and knew that they must have gone to the forest to wander after the province, so when Peizhu proposed to look for them and came back, he just shook his head and said lightly: "The flowers on the Mo are blooming, but they can return slowly." After that, he leaned on the smoke cage alone and pretended to sleep, thinking about last night's dream, until Shen Yun came back to cover him with the wind, he just remembered what Ah Yan said: The falling flowers and wind and rain hurt the spring even more, it is better to pity the people in front of you. When he opened his eyes, he saw the smiling man in front of him.
It wasn't until Shen Yun saw the household registration album that he understood why he suddenly wanted to use her identity deed, secretly laughing at his villainous heart, and hugging him with emotion and crying happily, and at night, he also watched a small fireworks, and when he was with him, he heard him keep calling himself Qingqing, and suddenly felt an unprecedented satisfaction.
After that, Xiao Cong asked her, "Qingqing, have you ever thought that one day when you are free, you will go to find the young man in the past?" ”
Shen Yun was stunned and said, "What young man?" ”
Xiao Cong said quietly: "That's the one... Even if he is ruthlessly abandoned, he can't be ashamed of the young man. ”
Shen Yun smiled and didn't answer, so he said to himself: "Who is he?" The only people I know are Su Huaijin and Xiao Chengxi, but Su Huaijin already has a wife at home, and she once told me frankly that she was just in love with you at the beginning..."
Shen Yun's eyes widened and said, "Your Highness is okay, I even asked about this." ”
But Xiao Cong didn't have the heart to discuss this at the moment, but asked her: "What about you?" Su Huaijin is just starting to fall in love, what about you? ”
Shen Yun smiled helplessly: "What am I? I'm a little girl of twelve or thirteen, and I suddenly have any thoughts about someone who is more than ten years older than me and has always been like a brother and father? ”
"That's... That Xiao Chengxi..."
Shen Yun suddenly stared into his eyes and said, "Chengze, you may not understand that when I met you, I was in a desperate situation. As for who is that Mo Shang boy, I just want to say that before I met you, there was no such person. ”
When Xiao Cong heard this, she only looked at her in a daze, she smiled and glanced at him, and sighed: "Alas, how smart you are, it turns out that you are also a big fool." Everyone else has said this, and I still don't understand. After speaking, he buried his head in his arms, and said quietly: "So I don't know where to read your book, so I should memorize the "Sidi Township" again." ”
When Xiao Cong heard this, he silently thought in his heart, "Spring travel, apricot blossoms blow all over the head..." Apricot... Isn't it just an apricot blossom? People have already said it clearly, but they are so confused that they still ask others those stupid things. Immediately overjoyed, I didn't know what to do, I just hugged her tightly in my arms and murmured: "Qingqing, Qingqing." ”
