083 The palace is deep, a little deep (1)
The moonlight quietly reflected from between the panes, like a pool of cool stagnant water, and I accompanied Jianning like this, sitting quietly from the endless gloom to the slightly white in the east.
The butterfly incense in the multicolored gilt incense burner burned out through the night, leaving only a pile of cold dead ashes. I understand the pain in Jianning's heart, the deep shame and sorrow, and the already incomplete heart is broken into pieces, where do I dare to say it to her again: "All this is just a ploy of Luo Xi under the struggle for imperial power." Such a cruel and poignant truth.
It was already the tenth day that Jianning came to the Yunnan Palace, when she first arrived, I and everyone were anxiously waiting at the gate of the mansion to answer, seeing the golden glow open, the light clouds filled the sky, the car curtain was gently opened, Jianning was dressed in a red silk thread dazzling gold light Luo long skirt, the flowing cloud bun with the phoenix tail nine days of the golden hairpin piled up, splendid and prosperous, at a glance, as brilliant as the peach blossoms.
When her eyes swept over everyone and landed on me and Cangyang's faces, she was stunned at first, and then smiled sadly. The moment I met Jianning's eyes, I felt a slight thorn in my heart, and when she approached me, I was really shocked - the originally rich and ruddy cheeks were now thin and pale, the rouge was faint on the face, and half of it was not integrated, and the protruding collarbone was lightly hidden under the thin red coat, which made people feel lonely and cold.
is so thin, only a volume of haggard remains, and I can't see the slightest charm and beauty of the year.
The candles in the room gradually dimmed, Jianning's expression looked sluggish in the weak light, after a long time of crying and opening his eyes, his eyes were dry and stinging, we just sat in a daze, after the silence, the door was finally pushed open, I turned my head and saw Cuixiang calmly walking in with the washing utensils, biting her lip, half-kneeling in front of the bed, waiting silently.
I patted Jianning lightly and persuaded, "Princess, wash your face first." β
Jian Ning nodded slowly, shook his head again, and suddenly asked me, "Why is this happening?" β
I waved my hand at Cuixiang, and Cuixiang got up and went to the side.
I thought for a moment and asked, "Does the princess want to hear the truth?" β
Jian Ning nodded at me, "Of course, if you lie to me, then I really don't know who to believe." β
Cuixiang handed me the twisted handkerchief, I took it, pulled Jianning, wiped her tears lightly, and sighed: "There is no why." β
Jian Ning looked at me stunned, with a puzzled look on his face.
I bowed my head and continued: "There are many things in this world that have no reason, just like me and Luo Xi back then, I also desperately asked myself why, but in the end I didn't get an answer, but this is how it happened," I shook Jian Ning's hand, "Princess, this is a test given to us by God." I relented and said, "Believe in the beauty of the world, and in the end there will be a way to go." β
Jian Ning smiled sadly, looked at me and sighed: "Miao Miao, I can finally understand your pain at that time, and I finally understand how naΓ―ve I was at that time, and how ridiculous my words to you were. β
I shook my head and said, "No, what you said at that time was right." β
Jian Ning frowned and asked, "Why do you say that?" β
I pursed my lips and smiled, and said, "When the princess gets through it, she will understand, no matter what I say now, you will feel that I am comforting you, so it is better not to say it yet, you may be more comfortable." β
Cuixiang took the handkerchief, picked up the basin, and withdrew silently.
Jian Ning said to me: "Miao Miao, how did you survive?" β
I looked out the window at the clear sunlight shining on the whole golden tent of the glow-colored feathers, the phoenix was feathering, and the faint finch blue fine hairs were hidden on the glow-golden gauze brocade flowing left and right with the sun, so bright that there was no trace of mixture, recalling the past, I couldn't help but smile and said: "Because Luo Xi is very good to me, really good." β
Jian Ning's brows became tighter and tighter, and he stared at me in surprise, "Miao Miao, what are you talking about!" β
I exhaled deeply and smiled at Jianning and Yue, "I said, because Luo Xi is very good to me," and his tone was more solemn, "so that I can get through." β
Jian Ning didn't understand my words, I wasn't surprised, so I smiled slightly and said: "Princess, speaking of which, my brother is also a good man, since you are already married to him, it is better to get along with him, he will not bully you." β
Jian Ning's gaze as he looked at me became more and more hot, like a flame, burning my eyes, "Miao Miao, how can you say such a thing, I thought you knew me best, why did you say the same thing as the third brother and grandmother?" β
My heart was sour, because I knew that all the undercurrents were surging, whether it was in the palace or in the palace of Yunnan, it was not easy to live well in such chaos.
I replied lightly: "I was resigned to my fate at the time," looking at Jianning, "Princess, you must know that it is really too tiring to live under the desperate struggle, and you will end up physically and mentally exhausted, so there will be no good results." β
Jian Ning looked at me stubbornly, and said with tears in his eyes: "I won't accept my fate," his eyes flowed, and tears flowed, "I will never accept my fate." β
I stared at Jianning as I did at the time.
Jian Ning raised his sleeves, wiped his face, and said with a desperate gasp: "I love Rong Ruo." β
I scoffed, "Princess, you're so naΓ―ve. "Under the weight of imperial power, where are we still qualified to talk about love?
Jian Ning held my hand back and said stupidly: "Miao Miao, you know how much I love him, for him, I am willing to do anything, as long as he is good." β
"What a silly princess," and said, "But we are people who should live well, we need life, we need sunshine, we need many, many things, and we don't just have love in our lives." I was silent, "Doesn't the princess still understand?" Only by living well can there be hope. β
Jian Ning looked at me with moist eyes, and sobbed: "But I can't forget him, he is like a thorn in my head, poking it there deeply, poking people uncomfortable." β
I grabbed Jianning, shook my head calmly and said, "No one told you to forget him, you can still love him, and at the same time, you can get rid of the haze and pick up life again, believe me, it's really possible." β
Jian Ning hesitated and said, "Is this true? β
After a moment, I looked at her and nodded lightly: "Princess, everyone has to learn to grow and accept, no one can have smooth sailing in their lives, there will always be twists and turns, just get through it." β
Jian Ning sobbed and took a deep breath, "But he won't want me anymore." β
I thought about it for a moment and said, "I still remember that Lord Yung told me at that time that if he really loved you, he wouldn't care about it. It's true. β
Jian Ning lowered his eyes and smiled, and said, "I really miss him, I may never see him again in my life." β
I pursed my lips for a while before I said, "I'll see you again." β
A glimmer of brilliance flashed in Jian Ning's eyes, "Really? How do you know? β
I sighed faintly and said, "Most of the things in the world are like this. The light in Jian Ning's eyes gradually dimmed.
