Chapter 14: Clarity of Heart
At dusk the next day, Shen Yun woke up quietly, and at that time, Luoying was standing aside, and when she saw her open eyes, she hurriedly said: "The lady is awake, Your Highness has just left." As he spoke, he came over and helped her up and leaned on the head of the bed, and asked, "Your Highness told the little people to boil porridge before, does the lady want to eat some?" ”
Shen Yun thought about it, then nodded, and asked Luoying to get the porridge while she got up and freshened up.
After freshening up and drinking a few sips of porridge, she walked to the porch and sat down, sat for a while and suddenly said, "Is there any wine from last time?" ”
Luo Ying hesitated: "Yes, yes, is the lady going to drink it now?" ”
"Well, go get it."
Or if you have wine today and get drunk tomorrow, you don't know where you are tomorrow.
She was drunk before she had drunk much, but this time she felt that her wine had become better, and when she was drunk, she just leaned on the smoke cage and slewed.
She felt that she had a long dream, the mountains and rivers in the dream were still the same, Brother Huaijin went away by boat, she and her brother rode home, and then her brother was about to go on the expedition, she pulled her brother's sleeve and kept crying: "Don't go, don't go." ”
So my brother really turned around, took her in his arms, caressed her back, and muttered, "Don't go, don't go." ”
But the next moment, Donggong had already thrown her deed to a person next to her, and she threw herself into his arms, grabbed his shirt and cried: "I don't want to go with him, don't go with him." ”
At this time, Xiao Cong hugged Shen Yun, who was drunk and nightmarish, and his internal organs seemed to be tightly bound by raw silk, and he couldn't tell what it was like.
Who the hell are you not letting go? Who do you want to go with?
He wanted to push her away, but he couldn't bear it after all, so he had to gently caress her back, but what she said the next moment seemed to cut all the silk silks that bound his five organs.
She cried and shouted, "Chengze, don't give me to others. ”
He heard the word "Chengze" clearly, as if he saw a fireworks that suddenly exploded in the dark night, so he hugged her tightly and muttered: "How can I give up." ”
When Shen Yun woke up, but couldn't think of anything, he only felt sick to his stomach, Luo Ying waited for her to drink porridge, and said: "The lady's wine is too bad, drunk and lying on the smoke cage and falling asleep, as soon as the East Palace came, he hugged people and cried and shouted, and finally vomited all the wine on others, to say that our East Palace is really good-tempered, Rao is like this, and kindly told us to take good care of the lady, and when you wake up, I will give you some rice porridge to calm your stomach..."
Shen Yun listened to her nagging, covering her flushed face with her hands, and thinking sadly, since you are going to give me away, why do you treat me so well?
Here Luo Ying was talking to Shen Yun, and over there Gao Qinian was also reprimanding the doorkeeper: "Why didn't you report when the man lady arrived, where did you learn the rules you learned on weekdays?" ”
The waiter is also wronged, and the heart says that isn't it that Manniang didn't let you report? Who doesn't know that she is the person on the tip of Donggong's heart, do you dare to disobey her fate. But he just kept saying: "The villain should die, the villain should die." ”
Xiao Cong, who was sitting on the side, looked at it and said, "That's it, don't do his business, but you can tell me when the man lady arrived outside that day." ”
"Back to Your Highness, it seems to be... Be... Yes, it was His Highness who let his father-in-law in and arrived shortly after. ”
Gao Qinian recalled it carefully, and suddenly realized: "Yes, yes, yes, it should be at that time, the lady must have heard the old slave talk about the deed, thinking that His Royal Highness was going to give her to... Hi... You say it's a mess. He sighed as he kicked the chamberlain beside him, "It's all to blame on this dog." ”
Xiao Cong listened, sighed, and said to the waiter: "That's it, you go down first." ”
Gao Qinian waited for the waiter to leave, stroked his palms and sighed: "How is this good." ”
Xiao Cong raised his eyebrows and did not speak.
How is it good? Coax slowly.
At this time, an attendant came to report: "Your Highness, the man lady has woken up." ”
Xiao Cong said: "Got it." Then he got up and went to the bamboo house, Gao Qinian followed behind him and said with a smile: "Doesn't Your Highness have a good talk to Manniang?" ”
Xiao Cong said angrily: "What did you say?" Said that this birthday gift in this palace is still not given? Who made her own suspicious and sick so much, hearing that the wind is rain. ”
Gao Qinian smiled and said, "What His Highness said is," he said, pausing and saying, "But this can't be blamed on the lady, she must have experienced something similar, cup bow snake shadow." ”
When Xiao Cong heard this, he couldn't help but slow down, and after a while, he sighed and said quietly: "Got it." ”
When they came to the bamboo house, they saw a mess in the house, as if it had been robbed, Luo Ying was busy cleaning up, and Shen Yun was sitting with her hands in her sleeves and staring at her blankly.
Seeing Xiao Cong and them coming in, Luo Ying wanted to come over and salute her, but Xiao Cong waved his hand and said, "No courtesy", and Shen Yun sat still.
Xiao Cong looked around, "You guys are... Hit the mouse? ”
When Luo Ying and Gao Qinian heard this, they wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, and their expressions were tangled.
Shen Yun thought that he was going to be swept away by you anyway, so he sneered and said: "If you don't divide things first, when the time comes, you will be in a panic and take this good thing by mistake, how bad it is for the old man to like it." ”
Hearing a word, everyone in the room changed color, if this was usual, the East Palace was on fire early, who would have thought that at this moment he just raised his eyebrows, walked to the pile of open cages, took out a book and sat beside her, while turning it leisurely, and said, "Is that clear?" Which ones are liked by the old people, and which ones are liked by the lady? ”
Shen Yun didn't answer, only turned his head to the side, his eyes were already full of tears, but he just endured it and refused to fall.
Xiao Cong closed the bookpost in his hand and threw it aside, waved his hand to Gao Qinian, and said quietly after they withdrew: "Everything else is easy to divide, but there is another one in this house that the old man and the lady both like, but how to divide it?" ”
Shen Yun said coldly: "The cheap concubine is ugly, how can she be worthy of the same as the old man's favor..."Speaking of this, she suddenly understood what he was referring to, so she stopped, and those tears that had been in her eyes for a long time also fell with a bang.
When you know my heart, why do you forsake me as you do?
Xiao Cong sighed and said, "Look at the sky outside, I'm afraid it's going to snow." ”
Shen Yun couldn't help choking and said, "What kind of snow is it in June?" ”
"I've been wronged like this, can it not snow?" Xiao Cong said, took her hand and said, "Just use your identity deed, just to give you away?" Am I so untrustworthy? ”
Shen Yun originally just hung his head and wept, but when he said this, he couldn't help but look up at him, and then lowered his head and said, "Then what else can you do with it." ”
"You don't care about it for now, you'll know in a while, it's not what you think." Xiao Cong said, took her into his arms, and whispered in her ear: "Silly girl, how can I be willing to give you to others." ”
Shen Yun didn't know how to describe his feelings at the moment, so he only sighed in his heart: Okay, if you say it, I will believe it.
So the days returned to the same as before, and one day Jingyi was chatting with the Liu family and suddenly asked: "Sister Liu, you used to spend the most time serving by Ah Yan and His Royal Highness, do you know what is the allusion of choosing a poet saint or a poet immortal." ”
Liu frowned and thought for a long time, and suddenly said: "Oh, the concubine remembered, it was a time before His Royal Highness came back from the poetry meeting of the bachelors to find a private seal, and was kept by Xu Liangdi to drink porridge, at this time Qinghejun happened to come, and the three of them discussed a poem, and somehow when it came to Li Du, His Royal Highness asked Liangdi whether he thought the poetry saint was better or the poetry immortal." ”
Jingyi suddenly realized: "Then how did Ah Yan answer?" ”
Liu smiled: "Liangdi said that the Du Gong Department is more stable. ”
Jingyi listened, shook her head with a smile, and said in silence for a long time: "Speaking of Lingxi, she has already set off from the fiefdom a few days ago, and she should arrive in two days. ”
Liu Shi smiled when he heard this: "Your Highness is too worried, Manniangzi is a trouble-free person, so there shouldn't be any big conflict with Qinghejun." ”
Jingyi said worriedly: "It's true that she is a trouble-free person, but when it comes to Ah Yan, I'm afraid she won't be so calm, don't look at her soft and weak appearance, this fierceness is not much worse than Lingxi, don't you see that our Highness is careful when talking to her now?" ”
After hearing this, Liu pouted, "That's not it." He looked at Jingyi again, and both of them smiled with their mouths covered.
On the way back to Kyoto, Song Lingxi did hear a lot about this manniang, but almost all of them were carefully arranged by Li Ji and deliberately let people say them in front of her.
She couldn't help but sigh in her heart, brother, brother, haven't you always been interested in these little ladies? How can a vixen come out of a hook bar fascinate you like this? Hmph, this woman, there must be some means, but I'm sorry, no matter how charming and cunning you are, now you have to show my original form to Song Lingxi.
Although she really wanted to meet her immediately, she still had to go to all parts of the palace to say goodbye first. As soon as he saw her emperor's uncle at this time, after chatting for a few words, he complained to himself: "You said that your brother is really getting more and more disagreeable, he is almost in his prime, and he has a discord with his brother for a cheap slave, if it is a woman with an innocent background, it is just a low-class goods who come out of the hook column, and I don't know what he thinks." ”
Lingxi took the emperor's arm and said, "Alas, uncle, you don't know, the more this kind of woman is, the more she will flatter the lord and invite favors." It is said that even Jin Yangjun, who has a group of wives and concubines, is confused about her, not to mention the brother who has never seen a few women, he is too honest to be coaxed by such a fox spirit. Besides, the minister heard that this woman looks very much like Ah Yan. You also know that my brother is a long-term person, and now he is probably thinking about Grandma and her unborn child, so he loves that woman a little, but these people can't get used to it, so they spread rumors in front of you all day long. But in the final analysis, my brother hasn't delayed anything serious for her, isn't he working hard all day long to help you share the state affairs, where can I find such a filial son? As the saying goes, don't be deaf or dumb, don't be a family, Yichen look, don't you just turn a blind eye to this matter? Just when you feel sorry for him. ”
She heard this long paragraph, the emperor sighed and laughed, scratched her nose and said: "Alas, how else to say that my daughter is a little padded jacket, look at our Lingxi will make the old man happy, but unfortunately, why is there no one among my daughters who is as caring as you." ”
Queen He on the side smiled and said, "Isn't it, otherwise how could Your Majesty love our Lingxi so much." "What I thought in my heart was, yes, there is no one among your daughters who is as mouthy as her, and in just a few words, she blew out the fire that we finally helped Donggong fan, and it was really in vain for Xuan'er to toss it.
When she came out of the emperor's place, she was led to Xiao Cong's place again, and after saying two words, someone invited her to see the East Palace, and he only instructed her two words as usual, and asked her to go to see the crown princess.
The two of them met for a pleasant greeting, and after chatting a few words, Lingxi got up and prepared to leave, Jingyi of course knew what she wanted to do in a hurry, so she said gently: "My sister is also older now, even Your Majesty often praises you for being much more sensible than before, and I don't think you will make any conclusions about anyone or anything because of a few words from others." It's just that sometimes it's confusing to care, but don't act impulsively. ”
Lingxi responded when he heard this: "Follow the teachings of my sister-in-law." Then he bowed and retired, went straight to the bamboo house, and when he sat on his shoulder, he was still thinking that this Manji had coaxed the princess to take the initiative to help her speak, and it was really a character.
After seeing Shen Yun and having that conversation, she looked back and pondered, feeling that this woman was really a little interesting, her words and deeds were not like the style of a fireworks woman, so she offered to live in the plum garden next door to observe her secretly, but she observed for two days, but others never even went out, so she changed her plan and took the initiative to find the door.
On this day, she quietly touched the bamboo house after taking a nap, and did not let it be transmitted, but touched it lightly, and was stunned when she entered the house, only to see the woman known as Manji, who was sitting under the window with her freshly washed hair, shaking a fan in one hand, and turning a book idly in the other.
At that time, she was young, and she always wanted to take Ah Yan to go out with her, but Ah Yan always said, wait until she finishes sewing His Highness's bedclothes, wait until she finishes sewing His Highness's cloak, and wait until Her Highness's shoes are finished, she will sit next to her and wait, wait, and wait until she sleeps and wakes up, and the work on her hands has not been done...
She was spontaneously stunned, but Shen Yun noticed that there was someone at the door, and when she raised her eyes, she saw that it was Qinghejun, and hurriedly put down her fan and book and got up to salute and said, "The concubine has seen the county monarch, and the county monarch is blessed." ”
Lingxi came back to his senses, returned to his usual arrogant demeanor, and said, "Get up." Then he went to sit down opposite her, and when he saw that she was still standing, he said, "Sit down." ”
Shen Yun sat down as she said, Lingxi casually picked up the fan she had just put down and looked at it over and over, and said, "This Mulan is a good painting, who painted it?" Did you draw it? ”
Shen Yun smiled and nodded, "See you." ”
Lingxi said in his heart, he can write and draw, but he looks like a talented girl, no wonder his brother likes it. But he still quietly put down the fan, picked up the book again, and said, "What are you reading?" Drama book? When he saw the cover, he was stunned, "You can still understand Zhuangzi." ”
Don't just grab a book and pretend to be in front of my brother.
Shen Yun still smiled and said, "I just feel that I didn't understand many places before, so I'll take a look at it now." ”
When Lingxi heard this, he thought with some contempt, "Look, I'll just say it." He threw the book away, looked around the room, sighed, and said, "Alas, I'm bored, do you have anything interesting here?" ”
Shen Yun thought for a while and said, "Do you want to watch the playbook?" ”
Lingxi listened, her eyes lit up, she clapped her hands, Shen Yun took out a large stack of drama books from the cage and gave it to her, she was thinking when she saw it, sure enough, Zhuangzi is just making a show, and what she really likes is the drama book.
But after she rummaged through it, she said disappointedly: "What, I heard from Mr. Storyteller, I can memorize the plot." ”
Shen Yun smiled after hearing this: "The plots of these drama books are naturally similar, and besides, I heard what Mr. Storyteller said was meaningful, so naturally I had to read the text myself to have fun." ”
Lingxi said disapprerovingly: "Then you can tell me what is the fun of reading the text." ”
Shen Yun smiled and took out a copy casually, opened it and looked at it, and said, "You see what is written here, when Xiaoping first arrived at her uncle's house, her sister-in-law took her hand and asked, 'How old is my sister?' Have you read a book? Did you move in your luggage? How many servants did you bring? Before anyone else could answer, he hurriedly said, 'Don't be homesick here, just tell your sister-in-law if you want anything to eat and play.' Whoever bullied you, also tell your sister-in-law. But the concubine remembers that when she heard Mr. Storyteller say it in the past, she only said the latter words after asking and answering? ”
Lingxi thought for a moment and said, "It's true. ”
"That's a thousand miles away from the meaning."
"What do you say?"
"Junjun think about it, if you are Xiaoping, and you are asked such questions by your sister-in-law who met for the first time, which one should be answered first?"
Lingxi was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart, it's true.
It can be seen that she didn't really ask her, just to greet her, the purpose is to say the latter sentence and show her status as the lady of the family. But when Mr. Storyteller said that, it seems that this sister-in-law is a sincere person, isn't that inconsistent with her behavior described later? ”
Lingxi suddenly realized and said happily: "It's really fun to be broken down by you like this." As he spoke, he couldn't wait to look at it.
Shen Yun didn't care about her, just let Luo Ying cook tea next to her and read her book quietly.
Lingxi was looking energetic, and suddenly heard a report from the waiter: "Donggong said that he would come over for dinner later, please prepare it." I heard Shen Yun respond again: "I know, thank you father-in-law." She looked up at her, and said to herself, you are quite polite. At this time, Shen Yun also looked back at her and said, "Then the jun jun will look at it first, and the concubine will be absent." He also instructed Luo Ying to serve well and went out by himself.
She said "oh", looked out the window again, and said in her heart, it's still early for dinner, and she is going to prepare? Therefore, he asked Luo Ying on the side with some doubts, and Luo Ying smiled and said: "As long as His Royal Highness eats, the lady will cook herself." ”
Tsk, this is someone else's means, Donggong's heart must be surrounded by these chickens and dogs, thinking that Ah Yan was not the same back then, hiding all the good things and biasing towards his brother.
Lingxi thought about it for a while, then lowered her head to look at the book in her hand again, and after a while, Shen Yun came back, and she asked, "Why are you back again?" Is the dish ready? ”
Shen Yun said with a smile: "The concubine just went to boil some soup, now just let the little chamberlain watch the fire." ”
Lingxi said "oh" again, and the two of them sat quietly again, each reading his own book.
I don't know how long it took, and suddenly another attendant came to report that the East Palace was about to arrive, and let the man lady prepare. Lingxi had to get up and say goodbye, Shen Yun saw that she looked unsatisfied, and said: "I have seen all these drama books and concubines, if you like it, take them all back and watch them." ”
Lingxi listened to it and gladly accepted, got up to say goodbye, Shen Yun came out to send off, who knew that when he walked to the atrium, Lingxi smelled a strong fragrance, and raised his eyes to see a little waiter walking towards the house with a soup can, while muttering: "It's so fragrant." He continued to the plum garden.
After Shen Yun sent her, he thought about it and said to Luo Ying: "You go and send a cup of Tang Sheng to Junjun." ”
Lingxi is a child's heart, suddenly got so many drama books, and drank delicious soup, while happy, but still thinking, this woman is really very likable, no wonder her brother was accepted by her.
