Chapter Twenty-Four: He Came to See Her Off
was originally scheduled to leave the next day, and Chi Chi was an unfavored princess, so naturally there were not so many things to bring.
Not to mention that going to Huguo Temple was originally to pray for blessings, if she had a lot of palace maids and eunuchs, and a cart of food, she would have to cause criticism.
So even if the queen said the day before, let her bring more people and things, she wouldn't be stupid enough to really do it.
She has always been cautious, and everyone in the palace knows that she is very timid, so it is reasonable to be more careful in these matters.
Concubine Zhou came to see her in person the night before, in fact, with Concubine Zhou's attitude, it was because she didn't want to see her anymore, so when she came over, Chi Chi was a little surprised.
Although they drove out all the people who were waiting, but all the people in this palace were the queen's people, and the two of them were naturally more careful when they spoke.
"How long are you going to go this time?"
Chi Chi pursed his lips, "If you can, I want to wait until the Beiyin envoy returns to China, and then I will ......."
Concubine Zhou nodded, "But they may also have to stay for a long time, but I'm afraid that the queen may not allow you to stay outside for that long." ”
Chi looked up at her, "That's the last thing I understand, I thought...... She should not want to see me, she should be the happiest when I go out like this. ”
Concubine Zhou sneered, "I thought you could be smart, and I don't want to think about it, you went to Huguo Temple, but it wasn't under her nose, who knows what twists and turns you will make, you are Concubine Jing's daughter-" Concubine Zhou's words paused, then coughed lightly to cover up, "So if she didn't really sweep you out of the house, she wouldn't be at ease." ”
Chi Chi understood a little, "It's just that no matter what, I don't want to go back early." ”
"No one told you to come back early, so you just stayed. I suspect that the queen will often urge you to return to the palace, and if the third letter comes, you may have to return to the palace, don't challenge Your Majesty's patience. ”
Chi Chi nodded, "Concubine Xie Zhou." ”
Concubine Zhou smiled, "Thank me for what to do, these are not worth a word of thanks, and what you really want to thank me is not what I really want to do, so you don't have to thank me." ”
Chi Chi hesitated a little, but didn't understand what she meant, Concubine Zhou suddenly said, "How is your queen mother?" ”
Concubine Jing, who she asked, pursed her lips for a long time, "That's it, I don't know people very well over the years." ”
Concubine Zhou lowered her eyes, so that people couldn't see the look in her eyes clearly, "It's okay if you're not sober, in a place like the Cold Palace, if you're too sober, it doesn't seem to be a good thing." ”
After a long time of not speaking, Concubine Zhou seemed to have nothing to say to her, stood up and walked outside, before she went out, she suddenly turned her head and glanced at her, "You should be careful, don't trust anyone easily, you know?" ”
After a long time, Concubine Zhou turned around and left, this time never looking back.
Chi Chi knew in her heart that this was the last sentence that Concubine Zhou could mention her, although she had always done this, but in Concubine Zhou's eyes, she was only afraid that she was just a teenage girl who survived.
What the future holds, I'm afraid we don't know yet.
After sorting out his things for a long time, he was waiting to go out, but suddenly a little eunuch ran in, saying that he had found what he was looking for a long time, and it was at the door.
Chi Chi wondered when she asked a little eunuch to help her find something, but when she saw the eyes of Mama Chen, she smiled, "You found it, take me out to have a look." ”
I don't know who wants to see her, but she found such a lame reason.
Chi Chi was also vigilant, and she whispered to Ah Wei, "If I haven't come back in half an hour, remember to come to me." ”
Awei Lian responded, and was a little worried, "Your Highness, you ......"
Chi Chi made a silent gesture, and then hurriedly followed the little eunuch out.
Before he had taken two steps, he saw a person serving in the Dongchang standing not far away, standing by the water's edge with his hands behind his back.
This back should be clearly eye-born, but Chi Chi feels extremely familiar.
He turned around slightly, and when he saw that it was too late, the coldness in his eyes melted away, and there was only a little bit of warm spring left, he pursed his lips, and then walked towards Chi Chi, "Your Highness." ”
After turning his head for a long time, the little eunuch was gone, Cao Tingyue smiled, "Please don't blame Your Highness, the slave came out like this." ”
Chi Chi hurriedly shook his head, "File ...... Stall, do you have anything to say to me? ”
Cao Tingyue glanced at her, and then shook his head slightly, "The slave knows that His Highness is going to Huguo Temple in the near future, this way is a long way, I am afraid that it will be many days before I see His Highness, so I will come to see His Highness today." ”
Chi Chi's face was hot, and she didn't know why, in front of this eunuch, she shouldn't have a hot face, but she just ...... It was easy to blush and heartbeat when he couldn't say it, and he couldn't help but smile, "Look at me, look at what I have to see?" ”
Cao Tingyue looked at her for a while, "Your Highness is very happy today." ”
He was stunned for a moment, then turned his face away, "No, I have nothing to be happy about." ”
"Your Highness should be happy." The distance between the two is not close, it seems to be the most suitable distance, it is a distance that will never make people feel that it is overstepped, but it just makes people feel that there seems to be something flowing between the two.
What it was, I felt it for a long time, but she couldn't tell.
Maybe it's this kind of thing that makes her blush all the time.
"The stall saw me just to say this?"
Cao Tingyue always had a smile in his eyes when he looked at her, and he didn't understand where his smile came from, but he didn't dare to look directly at his gaze.
Cao Tingyu said again, "Does Your Highness still have what you want now?" ”
"What?" Chi Chi was a little surprised, and looked up at him suddenly.
Cao Ting saw that he didn't say anything for a long time, so he nodded slightly, "Your Highness still has to drink less, drinking will hurt your body." ”
Slow to react violently, that day...... The person who was in the water pavilion that day, that person was him!
Chi Chi's eyes widened, "You, you ......"
Is that ...... Could it be that these plans and calculations these days, Lu Cheng, Concubine Zhou, and even the emperor are all calculating, could it be him......
Cao Tingyue put his finger to his lips, and then his eyes were full of smiles, when he looked at Chi Chi, there was always water flowing under his eyes, compared to those Beiyin princes who everyone was praising him, such a person was a little worse.
She felt that her heartbeat was getting faster and faster, faster and faster, and Cao Ting opened her mouth more and more, "Now that your Highness is all right, the slave will be relieved." ”
After he finished speaking, he was about to leave, and suddenly spoke, "Wait." ”
Cao Tingyu's steps paused, and he turned his head slightly to look at her.
Seeing her standing in the shade of midsummer, only a little bright sunlight fell through the gap in the shade of the trees, and hit her face and hair.
She is petite and delicate, and she has always been thin, but standing there, she is like Ling Xiaohua, independent and makes people dare not just pity her.
He knew how beautiful she was, and he lowered his eyes.
Chi Chi smiled, "It's okay, I'll see you at the head of the stall." ”
Like an epiphany blooming, it is really beautiful and soul-grabbing.
On the other side, Kunning Palace was not so calm, Jiahe knelt on the ground, surrounded by broken porcelain pieces of tea bowls and cups, obviously there had just been a dispute here.
Jiahe has always been stubborn, as long as he bites what he wants, he will not compromise no matter what others say.
The queen was angry, and at this time she was sitting on the circle chair to ease her mind, "Tell me, what kind of madness are you, how others can't avoid the disaster, you are good, and you want to send it to the top!" ”
Jiahe raised his head, "Others are others, I am me, and it is a disaster for others, but I may not be." Why does the queen mother have to speculate on her sons with her own thoughts! ”
The queen was angry again, "I speculate about you? I control you? If you weren't my own daughter, what would I do with you? ”
Mama Li gave the queen a good breath, and looked at Jiahe with a disapproving expression, "Fourth princess, how can you talk to the queen like this?" ”
"Then how do I speak, the things that the queen mother and my father think are bad may not be the things that I think are bad, this is what I want, I am the princess of my father and the queen mother, why can't I have it!" Jiahe had tears in his eyes, and it seemed that he could cry in the next second, "Why do you always have to give it to Jinyang, why do you have to give it to her!" ”
The queen stood up and pointed at her, her fingers trembling slightly, "How did Bengong give birth to a daughter, and her eyelids are so shallow, do you think this is a good thing?" Didn't you see Jinyang, she tried her best to refuse, and even invited herself out of the palace to pray for blessings in Huguo Temple, do you think she really doesn't know anything? ”
The queen sighed, "Beiyin Road is far away, as soon as you go out, you will no longer be the so-called princess, the whip is beyond reach, the father and queen mother can't protect you at all, do you really think it's something fun?" ”
She rubbed her head and looked at Jiahe with her head held high with an unconvinced look, "You just saw the prince of Beiyin, seeing that he was good-looking and could speak, did you think he was an ordinary grandson of the king?" The number of people in his backyard is no less than your father's three palaces and six courts, he is dissolute by nature, and no one can take care of him, I like you today, I talk to you more, I am disgusted with you for two days, you are no different from those ordinary women, you are a princess, can you bear this? ”
Jiahe wept, she fell to the ground, "No, he won't, he clearly ......"
The queen interrupted her words with a wave of her hand, "You don't have to say much, it's just that the palace spoils you too much on weekdays, so you will have these unruly thoughts, and the fat one is just that, but this one, you don't have to think about it, the palace won't agree." ”
Jiahe knelt on the ground and cried, "Queen Mother, Queen Mother, you will fulfill your son, your son is really ......"
"Jiahe!" The queen scolded her loudly, "Right now, you can't even compare to Jinyang, you really make this palace feel cold." ”
