Chapter 30: Marry into My House
I put my backhand around the child, put my forehead against him and said, "I'm your Bing sister, no one can snatch it away!" β
Little Eighteen's laughter was like a silver bell, making Xiao Se's autumn mood no longer make me so sad.
"Fourth brother, do you want to stay and eat too?"
The fourth master didn't speak, just drank tea and nodded.
I didn't care, I just told Lan Qi to go to the imperial dining room and ask to make the dishes that the two fourth masters loved to eat.
After lunch, Xiao Eighteen wants to take a nap so he wants to go back to his Eniang Palace, I sent him out, and when I came back, I saw the fourth master standing in front of my desk, looking through my desk to practice words.
"Fourth brother! Don't flip around, okay! "I ran over a little shyly, and tried to snatch my notebook from his hand, but I forgot that my knee was still aching, andβ
I fell......
I thought I was going to fall to the ground, but I fell into a warm embrace. When I looked up, the fourth master was supporting me, with a playful smile on his face.
I looked at him, greedy for the warmth of this moment, and leaned on his arms like this. Looking at him with some smugness, he held my notebook and read: "Qingqing Zijin, relax my heart." Even if I don't go, Zining won't make a sound? Qingqingzi Pei, I think about it. Even if I don't go, Zining won't come? Picky and embarrassed, in the city. Not seen for a day, like March. β
After the fourth master finished reading, he frowned and asked, "Why did you write this?" β
I was stunned for a moment, then I quickly pushed him away and stood up by myself, blushing and muttering, "A few days ago, I was copying the Book of Poetry, and I happened to write this one." β
The fourth master raised his eyebrows and smiled, nodded, and said to me again: "The thirteenth said that your willow body is beautifully written, I still don't believe it, and now it seems that I am not praising you at will." β
I bowed my head and muttered to myself, "Brother Thirteen is really, say everything." β
"Well, it does say everything, including what someone likes to eat and what they like. But they told me everything. Since you like jade, why do you only wear bracelets? What about hairpins? β
I looked up and said, "Because I only wear my hair today, I can't wear a hairpin." β
He let out an "oh" and nodded. Then he walked to the round table and sat down to drink tea, and stopped talking.
I came with him and sat down, he didn't speak, I didn't know what to say.
He suddenly asked me, "What happened yesterday?" β
I frowned and said, "I don't know, Zuo is just someone in the palace who said something gossip that reached the ears of Concubine Yi, right?" When I got the chance, I wanted to teach me some rules. What else could it be? β
"Don't you know what his mother thinks about you?"
I looked at the fourth master and thought about it, yes, how could the fifth master not know what Concubine Yi thought of me, what did he bring me for? I only thought that he was raised by the Queen Mother, but I forgot that he was the brother of the notoriously scheming Ninth Master. How careful do I have to be in this palace to avoid these senseless fights as much as possible?
I looked up at the fourth master, I was at a loss, he looked at me with a slight frown, and I said blankly: "Fourth brother...... I ......"
The fourth master patted my head and said, "Stay away from the fifth child in the future, his mind is too deep, and I can't guess him." Don't worry too much, there is always the Emperor Amma. β
I shook my head and said, "Speaking of which, it's not just the favor of the emperor. I knew that there would be no birthday in the palace, but I didn't expect it, but I couldn't avoid it like this. I've always just wanted to live a quiet, ordinary life. Why is it so hard? β
"You hurry up and marry someone, just get out of the palace."
I asked the fourth master with a smile: "Fourth brother, don't the wives and concubines in your house compete for favor?" Not enough tricks? β
The fourth master frowned slightly, I smiled, and continued: "Marry? Maybe it's better for me to be at ease in the palace, right? That's it, if there is a life, ask for a grace in a few years, and I will go back to the grassland. Riding horses and grazing, singing and dancing. β
The fourth master shook his head and said, "If you marry into my house, I can still allow you to be peaceful and peaceful." β
Married into his house? I was stunned by the fourth master's words, but he knocked on my forehead again and said, "Don't think about that first, I will protect you, and the old thirteen." I looked at him, that cold face, such an indifferent tone, can you trust him? If there is really trust in this palace, and there is really someone who can believe in it, then, that person, could it be him?
The fourth master seemed to see my doubts, and said lightly: "Believe me." β
I nodded, lay on the table and stopped talking, and the fourth master was also silent, just looking at me without saying a word.
He reached out and stroked my hair, pinned the hanging hair behind my ear, and asked me softly, "After being in the palace for so long, are you still afraid?" β
I have never said to anyone that although I inherit the two favors of the Son of Heaven and the Queen Mother in this palace, I have not been living a stable and steady life, and now the words of the fourth master seem to soothe my uneasiness.
I looked at him with a smile and whispered, "I'm always going to get better......"
The fourth master patted my head and said, "Good." β
The sun was just right at noon, the fourth master was caressing my hair beside me, I basking in the sun, and I fell asleep with peace of mind......
