Chapter Seventy-Eight: The morning dew has been ruined
Ruoyan was used to hearing Li Yizhe's confession and only smiled: "Since Your Majesty said so, will it be regarded as a protest no matter how sad the concubine is?" ”
"No, what Ah Yan said and did was right." Li Yizhe stretched out his hand and pinched the tip of Ruoyan's nose.
Suddenly, Ruoyan's stomach hurt, and it turned out that the child in her belly kicked her. Li Yizhe was very surprised, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to stroke Ruoyan's stomach. The boy gave him face and kicked him in the hand.
Li Yizhe was even happier. Rubbing his hands, he said that he would give Ruoyan something more.
Ruoyan pinched her cuffs, and only after a while did she raise her head and ask, "Is the wedding dress of the Xiao family girl embroidered?" ”
Li Yizhe was stunned for a moment, and remembered that the wife Luo Hansheng wanted to marry was the second miss of the Xiao family: "It should have been embroidered." What's wrong? ”
"I said at the feast earlier that I wanted to give her some makeup. To this day, it has not been given, and some have not changed. Now that her wedding dress has been embroidered, I haven't given this makeup yet. Ruoyan took a sip of tea, "Since Miss Xiao Er has finished embroidering her wedding dress, she thinks that there should be nothing to do today, can you let her enter the palace and come to me to see her?" And he gave it up. ”
"Won't you feel bad when you see her?" Li Yizhe was a little worried.
"There must always be a time of relief in the past, and the concubines are not so fragile." Ruoyan smiled, as if there was really nothing wrong, but in fact, the cuffs were white on the fingertips.
"Then let the girl next to you pass it in." Li Yizhe reached out and rubbed her face, "Just a little, don't wronged yourself." What if she says something unpleasant...... Say to me, 'I will punish her.' ”
"Your Majesty need not be worried. The concubines will take care of themselves. Ruoyan smiled, but felt very sour.
"Your Majesty, I asked for a meeting with several ministers from the previous dynasty, waiting for you to discuss the matter." Gonggong Lin came over to remind him.
"Then I'm going to get busy." Li Yizhe stood up, "You remember to eat." ”
"Okay." Ruoyan got up and sent him a few steps away.
Ruoyan sent Ling Yin to pass Xiao Qi into the palace. After Ling Yin left, Ruoyan ignored the persuasion of the palace people, took the snow warbler out of the palace gate, and sat on the railing of the cloister at the door and watched the heavy snow blowing outside. She reached out to take a few snowflakes and watched them turn into water in her palm. She felt as if her heart was gradually empty.
One year when I was a child, there was such a good snowfall, and she walked around in the snow in the snow of the Protectorate Mansion like Sister Ah danced before, and her face was full of smiles. At that time, she was also like Xiao Qi, simple and willful, carefree. Yun Ruoyan at that time was so cute. She cried as she thought about it.
Xue Ying was also a little uncomfortable when she saw it, and handed her a handkerchief to wipe her face: "What did Niangniang remember?" ”
"Snow Warbler, look, is this snow good?" She turned around and smiled and asked Snow Warbler, but didn't answer her question.
"It's good-looking, and the mother is even better-looking."
"Don't fool me." Ruoyan smiled bitterly, "The snow is beautiful, but the flowers are withered." After all, it's time for the curtain call at the end of the song. ”
"What did the mother say? Now look at the withering flowers, but in the spring, isn't it a hundred flowers competing for beauty, a colorful and lively? In the spring of next year, the slave maid will accompany the mother to enjoy the flowers. Xue Ying smiled and persuaded her.
"Yes, it's another year in the spring, and who can remember the flowers that withered last year." Ruoyan suddenly laughed, "The wind and smoke are like the old dust, and a flower withers and blooms." Snow Warbler, you help me to the courtyard. ”
Xueying was a little embarrassed: "Niangniang, the ground is slippery." ”
"Afraid of what? I used to be in the garden, and in winter, I didn't have to sing on a frozen stage. I've been used to it for a long time. Let's go, you look at me, it'll be fine. Ruoyan got up and took the hand of the snow warbler and went to the courtyard.
Ruoyan, who was in the snow, raised her arms and stood in the snow, as if she wanted to embrace the heavy snow, she smiled softly and took a turn in the snow. She whispered, "It's snowing, do you see it?" ”
I don't know if this sentence is for me.
And in the Prime Minister's Mansion for some reason, the big day is coming, but there is silence, as if the big wedding the day after tomorrow has nothing to do with the Prime Minister's Mansion. Luo Hansheng sat in the Huayan Courtyard where Ruoyan once lived. The begonia tree in the yard should have withered, but it was full of begonia flowers in this cold winter. If you look closely, the flowers on the tree are silk flowers one by one.
Luo Hansheng was twisting beads on a silk flower in his hand. There was a jug of wine on the table.
He wrapped the three hundred and eighty-six silk flowers around the tree, then sat down and drank a glass of wine.
He used to be able to drink a trace of sweetness from this old wine, but now when he drinks it, it is so bitter, so bitter that he scolds from the tip of his tongue to his whole heart.
The snow fell on him, dyeing his hair white, and he drank the wine that had fallen as if he were unconscious.
He watched the falling snowflakes melt into the cup without a trace, and he laughed softly: "Yan'er, it's snowing." ”
Xiao Wu stood in the distance and looked at Luo Hansheng like this, and couldn't help but be very worried. Luo Hansheng's body bones are already much worse now. This depressed drinking in the snow is afraid that it will be worse.
This snow is very sad.
Xiao Qi was also very surprised to get Ling Yin's transmission, she couldn't figure out what Ruoyan was thinking at this time, and actually came to pass her into the palace. She felt that she didn't want to go, but in the end, Ruoyan was a concubine, and if she didn't go, she would not respect the royal family. After thinking about it, she did have something to say to Ruoyan. followed Ling Yin.
When Xiao Qi was first led into Jiaofang Palace by Ling Yin, Xue Ying came to pick up the two.
Ruoyan lazily leaned on the beauty couch in the dormitory, drinking a cup of hot eight-treasure fragrant tea. Seeing Xiao Qi coming in, he made a color to the little palace maid below, and hot tea was served to Xiao Qi.
Xiao Qi bowed and knelt down with some reluctance: "The courtiers have seen the concubine Niangniang. ”
Ruoyan just smiled: "This palace congratulates Miss Xiao Er on getting her wish and marrying her lover." Snow warbler, give a seat. ”
"Xie Niangniang." Xiao Qi sat on the round stool brought by Xueying, endured her displeasure and said, "Does Niangniang pass on the courtier's daughter to have something to say?" ”
"This palace said before that you will give you something to make up for your wedding with your grandfather, and this cannot be faked, and now you are here to fulfill this word." Ruoyan sat up and said, "It's just that I don't know what Miss Xiao Er likes, so it's better to meet someone and ask in person." ”
"Niangniang's courtiers can't stand it." Xiao Qi glared at Ruoyan.
Ruoyan knew that she had something to say, so she asked everyone else to go down, leaving only one Xue Ying.
"Miss Xiao Er can just say whatever she wants, why is she so angry."
"You obviously know that Brother Sheng likes you." Xiao Qi's eyes were red, "Why did you want to enter the palace in the first place, Brother Sheng?" Brother Sheng is so good to you, you ...... Do you just want to enter the palace as a concubine, just want this glory and wealth? ”
"Miss Xiao Er has been pampered by her parents since she was a child, and she lives freely. I don't know what suffering is, so I raised this simple character. But not everyone has a good life like yours. Ruoyan picked up the teacup, "Not everyone has a choice. ”
"But...... Your Majesty didn't really have to marry you in the first place. Xiao Qi was a little stumped.
"How do you know what Your Majesty thinks? He made a fuss about my family, how should I choose? Ruoyan took a sip of tea, "If it's Miss Xiao Er, how should she choose." ”
"But, Brother Sheng is very bad now." Xiao Qi held the handkerchief in his hand, "His health is getting worse day by day." I've been unable to laugh, I've heard...... I've heard the doctor say that if he keeps doing this, he'll be left without a doctor. ”
Xiao Qi actually cried after speaking.
Ruoyan was a little stunned when she heard this, and she suddenly remembered the time Luo Hansheng vomited blood.
"Is Niangniang really so ruthless to watch Brother Sheng suffer so much?" Xiao Qi raised her teary eyes and looked at Ruoyan, "Niangniang, can't you think of a way?" ”
"Now that he's your husband, he has little to do with me. Whether he is good or not should not be my business. Ruoyan sighed and smiled again, "Actually, I really envy you." Since childhood, it has been smooth sailing, and when you reach the age of marriage, you can marry your beloved. And I couldn't choose my own way of life. ”
"Niangniang......" Xiao Qi raised her eyes and looked at Ruoyan, obviously the woman in front of her was not as beautiful as a woman in the world, her eyebrows and eyes were exquisite, and she could reflect the colorlessness of the world without powder, which was the best age, but she felt that the woman in front of her seemed to be old. It was as if the heart had withered.
"Since you have married him, treat him well. Is it okay to take my share with you? At last...... I beg you. Ruoyan looked at Xiao Qi, and there was a prayer between her eyebrows.
Xiao Qi's ghost made a direct response. She really didn't know how she could refuse Ruoyan's request.
"I've actually got your makeup ready. When I entered the palace, I had a lot of dowry, and I asked people to pick out the good ones for you. There's one more thing I don't know if you're willing to take it. Ruoyan paused, "Shall I give you the wedding dress I wore when I entered the palace?" ”
Xiao Qi was stunned, not to mention the gorgeousness and workmanship of the wedding dress, if she wore that dress to marry, it would be very decent. It's just that she wore Ruoyan's wedding dress to marry Luo Hansheng, and she always felt a little awkward.
"If you don't want to, that's fine. Left, but it's just my whole wish. I can't marry him in this life, and you can wear that wedding dress to fulfill your wish. Ruoyan smiled bitterly.
"Niangniang, the courtier's question shouldn't be asked." Xiao Qi looked at Ruoyan, "Does Niangniang still love Brother Sheng?" ”
"Now Your Majesty is my husband, and he treats me very well." The light in Ruoyan's eyes dimmed.
Although Xiao Qi is arrogant, she is not stupid, she naturally knows the meaning of Ruoyan's words. She left her seat and knelt down and kowtowed: "Courtier, thank you for your grace." ”
Ruoyan knew that she had agreed to accept this gift. Xiao Qi got up and looked at Ruoyan and said seriously: "The courtier's promise to Niangniang just wants to make Brother Sheng happy." The courtier's heart is happy, and her brother is the courtier's business. Brother Sheng didn't have a courtier in his heart, and the courtiers also recognized it. If this can make Brother Sheng's heart feel better, the courtiers are willing. The courtiers are willing to give everything for Brother Sheng in this life. ”
"Thank you." Ruoyan smiled faintly, "Although I used to be rude to Miss Xiao Er, I don't like Miss Xiao Er." If you need it in the future, just ask. ”
