Chapter 57: Rumors
In Nanchu, it is rumors that spread faster than the plague and are more devastating.
It was a sunny afternoon, and the sun was much warmer than the scorching sun of the previous day. The warm sun sprinkled warm light, and as soon as there was a slight breeze, tiredness hit immediately.
Lige sat on the embroidery pier, yawned long, rubbed his eyes, lifted his spirits and started to tie up.
The string is crooked, neither strong nor neat, but she likes it very much, and it is only halfway through the formation, and she can imagine what kind of expression Xiao Mochen will have when she receives this concentric knot.
must be happily holding and kissing, and kissing while saying that he likes it.
"Huh." Lige smirked in her eyes, as if the picture she had imagined was right in front of her, when suddenly a rush of footsteps woke her up.
"Miss, Miss, something is wrong!" It's Xiaoqiu.
Most of Xiaoqiu are gentle and demure, and rarely shout like this, isn't there really something going on?
Lige stopped what she was doing, and saw that as soon as Xiaoqiu stepped into the room, she supported the table with one hand, stroked her chest with the other, gasped, her little face was blushing, and two drops of crystal sweat hung on her cheeks, which was her rare embarrassed appearance.
"Xiaoqiu, you're not beautiful at all, what happened? It's embarrassing for you. Lige handed Xiaoqiu a cup of tea, and although he was uneasy, he still joked with a smile.
Xiaoqiu took the cup, poured it all, spit out two mouthfuls of turbidity, calmed down a little, took Lige's hand and said, "Today, the maid went to the street to buy Xu Ji snacks for Miss, but I heard someone talking about something along the way." ”
"Something to do with me?" Lige asked.
Xiaoqiu nodded in embarrassment.
"What are they talking about? I've been quiet lately. Lige's eyes were bright, and he looked very curious.
I didn't expect her to be unmixed with the rivers and lakes for many days, but her legend is still circulating on the rivers and lakes.
Xiao Qiu curled the hair hanging on her chest with her hands, frowned, her cheeks turned red, and said in a slur manner: "They said that Miss was kidnapped by thieves a few days ago, and she was tarnished by the innocent person, and said that Miss became a ...... and became a " The latter words, Xiao Qiu was really difficult to say.
Jinling City couldn't get used to seeing the big people who left the song, and when they heard some wind and rain, they couldn't wait to take this opportunity to trample her under their feet, so that the rumors became more and more ugly and exaggerated.
Xiaoqiu frowned, grinned, looked like she was about to cry, carefully observing Lige's reaction, who knew that Lige was not annoyed but distracted, and Xiaoqiu who was anxious almost cried: "Miss, why don't you care at all?" How important innocence is to a girl. ”
"Oh." Lige replied lightly, "Otherwise, the mouth grows on them, so you can't block them one by one, let them go." ”
Lige picked up the half-typed word again and looked at it carefully, said in a nonchalant tone, and said lightly: "Since that group of boring people are eyeing me, no matter how I react at this moment, it will be in vain." If I go around refuting rumors and punishing those who spread rumors, they will say that I have a weak heart and want to cover it up, which will only get darker and darker. But if I do nothing at this moment, they will say again that my silence is acquiescence, and that this is the case, both horizontally and vertically, so that they will not waste their tongue and the knowledge of those fools. ”
"Ah, do we have a solution? Just let them spread rumors and ruin Miss's reputation? Xiaoqiu sat slumped on the stool, her brows furrowed, and she was very sad.
"Yes. Wait, wait for the next dinner to talk about it, they won't remember it, the original Nine Emperor Princes were not pressed by rumors and couldn't raise their heads, and now no one remembers it. What's more, they don't understand me, believe me or not, I don't want to marry them, as long as Xiao Mochen believes me. Lige is optimistic like an outsider, but Xiaoqiu is still very worried.
A woman's innocence is more important than her life, although Miss is born with a very tenacious resistance to rumors, but this matter is sloppy after all, no one can predict what will happen in the future, King Chen is hard to guarantee that he will not change his mind, or let Xiangye solve this matter as soon as possible.
Xiaoqiu sat with Lige for a while, and seeing that it was almost time for the next dynasty, she made an excuse and left.
It was night, and before the night was dark, I heard the chirping noise of summer insects. With the starry sky as bright as silver, the starlight illuminates the narrow and long corridor, a corner, you can see the palace buildings, a corner of the eaves obliquely pick up the night, the lights of the East Palace are like day, but everything is quiet, do not hear the slightest human language, silent and desolate.
Stepping into the dormitory, the queen was supported by her grandmother, and slowly walked towards Xiao Molin's bed, she had just spent all her strength on the road, at this moment, if it wasn't for her strength, she was afraid that she would not be able to stand.
Sliding on the edge of the bed, the queen trembled and reached out to touch Xiao Molin's thin and pale face, and tears broke down the embankment.
This is not yet autumn, Xiao Molin is already cold and sick.
He rolled his lower eyelids, and when he saw that it was the queen, he closed it again.
He didn't want to see her, not even before he died.
"Lin'er, the queen mother has come to see you." The queen's voice seemed to be a teenager old, gently, for fear of frightening the son who was heavy and weak on the bed, and was as angry as a gossamer.
As soon as her hand touched Xiao Molin's hand, it was waved away, as if she was used to his reaction, the queen was not stunned in her eyes, only pain, spread her hands, wiped the tears on her face, and said very sadly: "Lin'er, what should the queen mother do?" You'll forgive me. ”
"Return the son's green child to the son, and the sonson will forgive the queen mother." Xiao Molin's voice was hoarse, and his eyes had opened at that time, but they were empty and lifeless inside.
"What's so good about that woman, a lowly maidservant, worthy of your body for her, for her to be the enemy of the queen mother." The cycle began again, and as soon as the two met, her good son didn't leave her a word except for this name.
The queen sneered, she had long wanted to know what kind of ecstasy that lowly woman had given her son to cause him.
"She's nothing good, she's not outstanding, she's stupid, and her background is not good, but what does it matter? Erchen just loves her until death. When mentioning his beloved, Xiao Molin's face had a trace of anger, although it was not vivid, but it was also ruddy.
The queen shook her head sadly, feeling sorry for her son's deep affection and stubbornness, and said to him earnestly: "Lin'er, born in the royal family, you shouldn't be emotional, as the future king of a country, you can't have weaknesses, if you are in love, you won't live, the queen mother is for your good."
"Heh, you shouldn't be emotional when you are born as a royal person, is this the reason why the queen mother killed her own grandson with her own hands? Is this the reason why my father didn't blink his eyes and killed Concubine Luo? shouldn't be emotional, what do you do to hope that your sons and sons will have a deep relationship with your mother and son? Oh, if you are in love, you will not live, what kind of ridiculous excuse is this, Erchen only thinks that he can't survive this year's winter, Queen Mother, are you satisfied? ”
Xiao Molin spoke very slowly, as if he had spent all his strength, he coldly watched the queen's face change color, and coldly watched her scream: "Lin'er, the queen mother is not allowed to say stupid things!" The queen mother has been planning for so long, just to watch you reign in the world! It is to make our cold family not live under others for thousands of generations! Don't think about that woman anymore, she, like Luo Yunsi, is a slut who is born to flatter the Lord! Death is too good for him! Just take care of your body, the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, is the time for you to marry Princess Beiyi! The queen roared, flicked her sleeves and left.
Xiao Molin shed two lines of tears in pain, his mother, the person she loves the most, is still herself.
