Just as Murong Yuhua and Gu San were talking, the sound of the piano in the study also stopped. Concubine Kang took Concubine De's hand and walked out of the room, looking at the two of them curiously, "What are you talking about?" I'm listening to Hua'er talking all the time, what's so happy? ”

Murong Yuhua looked at the two mothers who took care of her and cared for her in this world, and said very bluntly, "I'm asking Lord Gu about leaving the palace." ”

The two ladies were stunned. Concubine De's face immediately fell, and she cast her gaze at Gu San with some numbers, "Lord Gu, we know your temperament, in this palace, there is such a person who comes and goes freely, which is considered a blessing." But the princess is a golden branch and jade leaf, and she can't tolerate half a point difference. What is the situation outside the palace, the princess doesn't know, don't you know either? ”

Gu San raised his eyebrows and didn't speak, and Concubine Kang was also a little embarrassed when she heard this. She has always connived at her daughter, and after she was attacked, she became more and more spoiled, but at this time she said that she was going to leave the palace, and this matter was not so simple.

"Hua'er, Master Gu has the ability to protect herself, you see that she flies the eaves and walks the wall, and her martial arts are extraordinary, so naturally there is no need to worry. But you are still just a child, the outside of the palace is not as comfortable as the palace, you live here with someone to serve, go out with someone to carry, food and clothing without worry, why bother to suffer outside? ”

Murong Yuhua said, "Mother, mother, you always say that the palace is good, but you are clearly not happy and uncomfortable here. Why, then, do you want me to stay in a place where you don't feel happy or comfortable in the slightest? ”

Concubine Kang sighed, and could only explain to her, "That...... That's because our home is away, and it's natural to be sad and sad when we think of our family members once in a while. But your home is here, and your parents are here. ”

"I have seen my parents in the palace, and I also want to go out of the palace to meet my mother and mother's parents." Murong Yuhua said, pulling up the corners of Concubine Kang and Concubine De's clothes and sprinkling them, "Mother, you will allow me, let me go out of the palace to see." ”

In the past few months of living here, Murong Yuhua has gradually figured out the temperament of Concubine De and Concubine Kang. Concubine De is lonely and tall, her temperament is cold and kind, Concubine Kang is soft, and her temperament is gentle and open-minded. If there is anyone who is more convincing between these two people, it is naturally Concubine Kang.

However, in the matter of Murong Yuhua wanting to leave the palace, Concubine Kang and Concubine De stood on the united front, neither of them refused to give in, they were unwilling to let go, no matter how much Murong Yuhua begged, it was useless, not only was he determined to not give in, but he even warned Murong Yuhua that except in the Qingyin Pavilion, he must not mention the matter of wanting to leave the palace outside.

Then he pulled Gu San aside alone to talk. Concubine Kang said, "If you want to leave the palace, go there, don't mention these things to Hua'er, who doesn't know that the world outside the palace is big?" But outside the palace is indeed dangerous for her. ”

Concubine De said, "She is David's princess, the emperor's daughter, and she will be crowned when she becomes an adult in the future, how can she be in the same stream as that ordinary woman?" Etiquette, poetry and books, she still needs to study them carefully, how can she have time to go out of the palace? ”

Gu San looked at the two mothers' extremely anxious appearances, always holding their hands, leaning aside, and first replied to Concubine Kang, "If the princess is in the palace, then I will naturally stay in the palace." ”

He replied to Concubine De, "Even if she is the princess of the David Dynasty, she is also herself." What does she want to do, if you are worried that she can't do it at a young age, I can understand it, but when she becomes an adult, she will naturally have the ability to find ways to protect herself, and you can always let her go at that time, right? ”

"She is a woman, if she is bullied, wouldn't it be ......"

Concubine De finished speaking, but she looked at Gu San's eyes slightly raised, and said indifferently, "I'm guarding, who are you afraid of bullying her?" ”

Her words made Concubine De and Concubine Kang stunned, and the two looked Gu San up and down for a long time, and finally asked the doubts in their hearts.

"Gu San, you don't want to have a deep friendship with anyone on weekdays, why are you so interested in the third princess? This was the case when I was in the annex, and now I am ...... I have never seen you protect anyone like this except her. "Concubine Kang is the person who has known Gu San for nearly a year, and she usually gets along a lot and knows a little about Gu San.

Concubine De stood aside silently, watching how Gu San answered.

Gu San looked at Concubine Kang, if she had changed before, she would have said bluntly, your daughter is no longer a daughter a long time ago, she is the same as herself, she has already died in her original body and is replaced by another person to survive. But the soft and leisurely life of most of the year has allowed Gu Sanzheng to gradually get rid of the original numbness and ice.

She was silent for a long time, and finally just said "I...... Look at her and love it. ”

"Hua'er?"

Gu San nodded: "She is a very likable child. I'm willing to protect her. ”

Concubine Kang didn't feel much surprised for some reason, but she was a little glad to take Gu San's hand, "If you are willing to stay by her side and stay in this palace, it is also a good thing for me, and you are almost clear about the situation in this palace, no matter what, with someone like you by Hua'er's side, I will be much more relieved." ”

Concubine De was still a little displeased, "But Lord Gu behaves perversely on weekdays, and he is different from ordinary people, and his understanding of the outside world is what you should be, but it is dangerous for the third princess." You are by her side, but I am worried that Hua'er will look forward to life outside the palace more and more. I still say the same thing, leave one person by the third princess's side to protect, I have nothing to say. But if one person is left to instigate the third princess to leave the palace, I will never agree. ”

"Yes...... Jinyue, don't say it's Hua'er, don't you and I want to leave the palace? ”

When she said this, she was called Concubine De's maiden name, not her title in the palace.

"Jinyue, you said that there are many dangers outside the palace, where there are many dangers in the palace, the world outside the palace is vast, and where is the glory and wealth in the palace can be compared. What's wrong with Hua'er looking forward to life outside? You and I are indeed the ones who will never get out again, but ...... Hua'er still has a choice. ”

"Then it's not like she's going to choose now, is it?"

"When? The women in the palace, whose fate can be spared? You said that our home is outside the palace, and after stepping into the palace gate, we just live like this. Hua'er's family is in the palace, will her father be able to make her live differently from the women in the world in the future? Zhao Yuan'er looked at her, "Doesn't our father love us?" Doesn't our family cherish us? But they still feel that entering the palace is the best choice, they will only impose everything they feel good on us, and never think about our feelings - and those fathers who love us, after all, send us to the palace thousands of miles away from home, for the sake of family honor? ”

Concubine De stopped talking, she pursed her lips, and her expression sank little by little because of the facts that Concubine Kang said.

Concubine Kang continued, "Even if the emperor loves Hua'er, they still can't change the consistent thoughts between father and daughter. What do you think the emperor can think of in the end? All he can think about is marrying Hua'er, claiming to 'find a good family for her' and 'find a good husband for her', but is that what Hua'er really wants? What does Hua'er want, Jinyue, have you thought about it? ”

Concubine De shook her head, and she smiled bitterly, "Don't talk about Hua'er, ask ourselves, before we left the cabinet, did we think about what we wanted?" ”

Concubine Kang also grinned, and said bitterly, "Even if we think about it, what we think of in the end is not what our father and mother told us, find a good husband, follow three virtues and four virtues, have children, and be a woman's most important thing." We didn't even think that women could go far away, and women could pursue more things - so now, Hua'er wants to go out, wants to be free, we know how painful it was when everything was wiped out in the first place, but we still do everything that others did to us at the beginning, without realizing that we are also doing what we hate. ”

The words have been fully spoken, and the answer is obvious. Concubine De took a step back, indicating that she would no longer participate in the decision-making on this matter, "Then let Hua'er decide Hua'er's own business, this is the only thing I can do for her." ”

Zhao Yuan'er clenched her hand. The two mothers exchanged a glance with each other.

Gu San had been standing aside and listening quietly to their conversation, persuading each other, without interrupting, just waiting for them to find the correct answer. Then she looked at Zhao Yuan'er and sighed with relief, as if she had finally made a decision, and spoke to her.

She said, "Gu San, this way, you accompany Hua'er in the palace, and after taking her and Lu, if she has any plans, you don't need to tell us." If she wants to get out, she can go out, and she can go if she wants to. It's just up to you to decide, and we don't want to hear it, let alone understand it. ”

Concubine De still seemed a little uneasy holding the handkerchief in her hand, but this decision had already been made by Concubine Kang, and she did know that this was not bad for Hua'er, so she finally nodded, "Since what she wants is this, we are willing to see that she can get this." This is what she deserves, but there is one thing, before she and Lu, we can't let her completely abandon her studies, what she should learn should be understood, we will still stare at Hua'er and learn all this. Wait until she's ......."

"Then let her take charge of her own life." Concubine Kang concluded, and she smiled at Concubine De, "What we can't do, at least ...... Let Hua'er fulfill a wish for us. This is the only thing we can do for her as a mother and a mother. ”

Gu San looked at the women in front of her who were completely bound in this aspect of the world, looking at their helpless but resigned appearance, for some reason, her mother's appearance always flashed inexplicably in her mind, this subtle connection seemed to flow in her blood, no matter where she was, how old she was, and what kind of world she was in, she still couldn't forget what her mother once wanted Concubine De and Concubine Kang to say for her child.

"Then let her go. I can't do it...... At least, she can live well and do it for me. ”
