Chapter 43: The Mist
It is said that the princess of Changle entered the palace and went straight to the queen mother's bedroom, at this time the queen mother was fiddling with her camellia in the palace, the queen mother is a person who loves flowers, and the whole palace is basically a sea of flowers.
Camellia and hibiscus bloom very well in this season, and there are many varieties of camellia in the palace of the Queen Mother, such as agate tea, crane top red, Baozhu tea, banana calyx white treasure bead, Yang Fei tea, Zhenggong powder, pomegranate tea, a twist of red, Zhaodian red, late mountain tea, Nanshan tea, etc.
Among them, several camellia trees are two people tall, and they are full of red and white camellia flowers with large bowls, which are rich and fragrant, and they are beautiful.
Princess Changle didn't need to be informed, so she came in directly and said with a smile: "Queen Mother, are you fiddling with your flowers again?" My daughter has come to see you. ”
The Queen Mother didn't look up and only said: "You have been a little diligent recently, and the horse has just been there for less than half a year, so you can't wait to come out and show your face, are you afraid that others will not know?" ”
After thinking about it, he felt that his words were a little heavy, so he said again: "The Han family is watching your every move at this time, if you do it too much, it is difficult to guarantee that those imperial historians will not add fuel to the vinegar and talk nonsense, which will not do your brother any good." ”
Princess Changle's eyes were slightly red and said, "Queen Mother, do you only have Brother Yue Wang in your heart?" The daughter was reluctant to marry the colt at that time, but for the sake of her brother, the queen mother preferred her daughter to marry. ”。
"In the two years that my daughter married the horse, there was no happy day, and then the horse tossed herself to death because of taking medicine, and the daughter was finally freed, but you were afraid of offending the Han family, so you let your daughter live in a simple house and mourn for the horse. Do you have to sacrifice your daughter for the so-called ambition and great cause of you and your brother all her life? ”
Just hearing the snap, a faint finger red mark appeared on Princess Changle's face, and Princess Changle covered her face and cried: "That is the case, the daughter retreated." ”
As she spoke, she withdrew from the hall, and the Queen Mother said softly: "Stop." ”
Princess Changle immediately didn't dare to go any further, and the Queen Mother stood in front of her and said, "Mourning family and asking you, doesn't the death of the colt have nothing to do with you?" You look into the eyes of the mourners and answer well. In the end, the Queen Mother is no longer angry and mighty, and under the palace struggle for many years, the momentum of the superior on her body makes people dare not look at her.
Princess Changle whispered: "My daughter only added a little more to the medicine that the horse usually eats, but my daughter didn't mean it. ”
The Queen Mother smiled coldly and said, "Since the death of the horse is related to you, let you just make a show, it's still difficult for you, right?" ”
"Besides, you have a few noodles in your house, do you think you don't know about the mourning family? Even the emperor knew it, but he didn't say it for the sake of the face of the heavenly family. ”
Princess Changle snorted and stopped talking, and the Queen Mother patted her on the shoulder again and said, "Changle, no one can do whatever he wants, and it is even more impossible to be born in the emperor's family." ”
After speaking, he asked, "Changle, do you have anything to do today?" ”
Princess Changle still said with red eyes: "My daughter is fine, I just want to come to see the queen mother." ”
The Queen Mother sighed and said, "Le'er, when will you be sensible?" ”
After Princess Changle left, a palace maid came out of it, but this palace maid was more slender than ordinary palace maids, but her appearance was very beautiful, she gently supported the queen mother and said: "Queen Mother, you beat the princess, aren't you afraid that she will no longer have the same heart with you?" ”
The Queen Mother patted her hand lightly and said: "She is the pet of the mourning family, she is nothing without the mourning family, and she doesn't have the courage to mourn the family." ”
Then he patted the palace maid's face and said, "Will you betray me one day, there is no mourning family, but you are still singing and practicing in the theater and being bullied?" ”
The palace maid hurriedly said with a flattering face: "Queen Mother, you are tired, do you want to lie down for a while, let the slaves and maids serve you well." ”
The Queen Mother nodded, and the two went to the inner room together, and the palace maid turned her head and ordered: "The Queen Mother wants to rest for a while, so let's all step down." ”
A dry palace maid retreated to the outside of the hall, the palace maid helped the queen mother into the inner room, only to see her take off the queen mother's clothes little by little, and after a while, the queen mother's intermittent wheezing sound came from the inner room.
When Princess Changle returned to the princess's mansion, she hid in the room, and she was sad for a while. This Princess Changle is also a poor person, she doesn't know who her biological mother is, and no one tells her, only that the Queen Mother raised her.
She wanted to get away with it all, but where could she run away? She was tired of this life, but she had nowhere to go, Princess Changle was so tired that she fell asleep.
In a daze, she smelled a sweet scent, and then thought that someone was in the room, and she didn't care.
The man came but kissed her cherry lips, Princess Changle felt that her heart was full of desire, the person's lips were cold, and there was a faint smell of ambergris on her body, which smelled so good that people were intoxicated, she stretched out her hands and hugged the man's neck, and soon Princess Changle's clothes were returned by the man.
Princess Changle was frantically entangled with the man, resisting to death, stepping on the bed, on the dresser, on the bookcase, she was fiercely asked by the man again and again, until finally she lost consciousness.
When she woke up in the middle of the night, Princess Changle shouted, "Someone's coming." The voice was hoarse.
Xiangfu, the big palace maid beside her, hurriedly came over and said, "Princess, are you awake?" Do you want to drink water? ”
The memory of Princess Changle last night was still in her mind, and she was sore and weak at this time, and she knew what she had been through.
Princess Changle asked in a hoarse voice, "Who came to the room of the palace at night?" ”
Xiangfu said with a surprised face: "No one came, the princess let the slaves go outside, and no one came in, the princess is dreaming." ”
Princess Changle was no longer entangled, and said, "The palace is hungry and wants to have some supper." ”
Xiangfu said: "The princess will be later, just a while." ”
Princess Changle finished her supper and lay on the bed again, only sore and painful, and the afterglow of love made her toss and turn, making it difficult to sleep. A dark shadow ghostly left the princess's mansion and quickly disappeared into the night.
On this night, King Pingxi talked with Xiao Zhan in the study, and King Pingxi took a sip of tea and said: "Lord Liao mentioned your marriage again yesterday, since the third girl Liao went, Lord Liao has been a little unhappy, and wants to marry the fourth girl of her family to you as compensation, and the two families continue to marry the two surnames." ”
Xiao Zhan paused and said, "Father, how did you reply to Lord Liao?" ”
King Pingxi said: "My father hasn't let go yet, but I also think Lord Liao's proposal is good." ”
Xiao Zhan suddenly knelt down in front of King Pingxi and said, "Father, my son has never made any requests for so many years, but now my son has a request, begging my father to agree." ”
King Pingxi only moved his eyelids and said, "Zhan'er, tell me what is the matter first?" ”
Xiao Zhan said slowly: "When my son went to Jeju on an errand, I met a woman, and my son liked her very much, but at that time, my son was already married, and he didn't dare to show his affection. ”
"Later, Miss Liao San went, and her son dared to show his heart to her, and his son wanted to marry her."
King Pingxi stood up and took two steps and said, "Which girl is this woman?" That's a good thing. ”
Xiao Zhan said: "She is Pei Zhonglang's sister, and she saved her son's life last time when her son was seriously injured." ”
King Pingxi didn't seem surprised and said: "This Pei Zhonglang used to be a dart game at home when he was in Jeju, and his family was too low, you and this woman are not in the right household, how can this marriage be successful." ”
Xiao Zhan still knelt on the ground and said, "But my son doesn't care about this, my son just wants to be with her and stay with her for the rest of his life." ”
King Pingxi said: "If you really like her, you can also take her as a concubine, why do you have to marry her." ”
Xiao Zhan said: "My son has no intention of taking a concubine, and my son doesn't want his child to suffer this kind of pain again. ”
King Pingxi said angrily: "Are you blaming your father for snubbing your mother back then? ”
Xiao Zhan straightened his back and said lightly: "My son doesn't dare." ”
King Pingxi said with a straight face: "What if your father insists on not agreeing to you marrying this woman?" ”
Xiao Zhan paused for a while and said slowly: "If you can't marry her, then your son will never marry for life." ”
King Pingxi was furious and said, "Presumptuous, why does it have to be her? Is this woman so good? ”
Xiao Zhan smiled faintly and said: "In my son's heart, she is the best woman in the world, just like her mother." ”
King Pingxi didn't speak for a long time, and finally waved his hand and said, "You go down first, for the sake of your father, you want to be alone and quiet." ”
After Xiao Zhan came out of his father's study, he felt distraught and had nowhere to go, so he came to his general's mansion unconsciously.
At this time, the night was already deep, but he still quietly came to the courtyard where Yueniang lived, and the night was as cold as water, so he sat down on the stone bench under the osmanthus tree in the courtyard. He didn't want to disturb Yueniang's good dreams, he just wanted to be closer to her and feel her breath.
At this time, Shao Yu had just fallen asleep, she faintly heard a slight noise outside, Shao Yu tiptoed out of bed and walked to the window to look out, this look couldn't help but startle.
She calmed down, fixed her eyes and saw that this person was actually Xiao Zhan, hurriedly opened the door, and shouted softly: "Big brother? How did you get here? ”
Xiao Zhan turned around and said, "Yueniang, haven't you slept yet?" I'll come and see you. ”
Shao Yu hurriedly let him into the house, lit a candle, and the room suddenly became bright, Xiao Zhan turned around and hugged her.
Shao Yu wrapped his hands around her waist and asked, "Big brother, what's wrong with you?" Do you have something on your mind? ”
Xiao Zhan said softly: "If my father doesn't agree to our marriage, what will you do if Yueniang?" ”
Shao Yu smiled and said, "I don't care about any status, as long as I can be with you, big brother." ”
Xiao Zhan suddenly laughed, and the whole person was even more handsome and extraordinary, like an immortal.
Xiao Zhan said softly, "I'll take you to a place." ”
Xiao Zhan took Shao Yu to a dark courtyard, pushed open the door of a room and walked in.
