Chapter 170: Warm Morning
When they got up in the morning, Guan Ju and Pu Jia had already arranged breakfast in the outer hall. I dragged my slightly tired body through the hall and walked to the bottom of the porch, and sure enough, I saw that the palace flags had already been freshened and dressed, and they were playing their royal secret set of five-shaped fists in the courtyard to prolong life.
The early spring morning was still a little cool, and Pu Jia put on a short velvet cloak for me, and shook her head at Guan Ju, who chased her, suggesting that she should not be disturbed. The three of us stood quietly under the porch like this, smiling and looking at the palace flag wearing only a single coat, punching hard with one move and one style of extremely standard.
My thoughts wandered, and I didn't think for any reason that maybe in the many years in the palace, the palace flags were also in the Wangqi Palace, rain or shine, and they practiced literature and martial arts like this day without slackening. It's just that that's not all, what is more difficult than practicing is to hide people's eyes and ears and pretend to be cynical and lazy in front of people.
It is unimaginable that he has gritted his teeth for seventeen years in such a forbearance life.
Tightening his fists and standing solemnly, Miyahata realized that someone was watching him in front of the door. The moment his eyes met me, a smile like the warm sun of the spring breeze bloomed on his handsome face. His smile is so bright, reflecting the early morning light of Karzhou, which makes people feel warm and hopeful in their hearts.
"I've been standing here for a long time, and I haven't moved."
I smiled and watched him slowly walk to his side, unfasten the cloak on his body, fasten his collar and said, "His Royal Highness the King of Rongjun is so hard to practice in the morning, how dare the courtiers disturb it?" ā
"What do I have to work hard," Miyahata took the handkerchief handed by Pu Jia and wiped the sweat from his forehead slightly, hugged my shoulders and walked into the room, "It's you, you must have been tired last night, why don't you rest more?" ā
As soon as Gong Wan said this, the cheeks of Guan Ju and Pujia and I all became hot.
"The slave also said that although the girl is in good health, she has never been as energetic as she is now." Guan Ju pulled a stool for me and said playfully, "Your Royal Highness, look, in just a few days, our girl has not only healed most of the injuries on her body, but even her complexion has become more and more rosy day by day!" ā
"Guan Ju! It's getting more and more open-mouthed! After laying out the dishes, she took Guan Ju's hand and took a half step back respectfully, "The two masters, if there is nothing to do, the slaves and maids will retreat first." The small kitchen was still frying the girl's wound medicine, and the slave and maid brought it again after half an hour. ā
I exchanged glances with Guan Ju, and suddenly in my heart, when I took Pu Jia's hand, I said softly: "Pu Jia, I know that you have always been sensible, and I understand your concerns. Don't worry, now that the Prince's Mansion is a place for palace flags, the palace curtains and palace flags are exhausted, and there will be no more eyeliner here. Although I live with Miyahata now, I have no name, so I am still the girl of you and Guan Ju. If thou wilt not be in love with me, thou shalt no longer call us masters, but all things are as before. ā
Pu Jia was told what was on her mind, and there was some emotion in her eyes. However, she was honest after all, thought about it for a long time, and still looked timidly at the palace flag.
Gong Wan didn't put out the score of the new master, but only said to Pu Jia in the same tone as me: "This house is self-rising, and no one can listen to your girl's words, and you don't want to be an exception." ā
This sentence made the two girls laugh. Pu Jia untied the knot in her heart, and the smile on her face was as calm and fresh as before, and she blessed me and said: "It's the slave and the maid who are hearty, and the slave and maid will go to the small kitchen to see the medicine, so as not to delay you and His Royal Highness the county king." ā
Guan Ju finally squinted at me and smiled, and then retreated with Pu Jia.
"These two girls are really your men." After the door was closed, the banner took my hand, "One follows your mind carefully, and the other is like your heart and speaks quickly." ā
"Come less, you didn't know me on the first day, why make fun of me with such a thoughtful rhetoric." I coquettishly shook off the warm hand of the palace flag, "As for being straightforward and fast-talking, isn't it that His Royal Highness the county king thinks that the courtiers have said something that makes His Highness unhappy." If you want to use these four words to point to the courtiers, it's just that. ā
Gong Wan hugged his hands on his chest and looked at me with interest: "What's going on today, this early in the morning, we even girls have the heart to sing on stage?" ā
"You will speak coldly, and you won't have a backache when you stand and talk! Let's just say that last night, do you know how painful the wound on my stomach was, and you still tossed me like that......" I complained half-angrily and half-laughing, "When people are sick, it is inevitable that they will be depressed, His Royal Highness the King of the County is a dignified man, is there no such stomach to accommodate people?" ā
"It's amazing! Now that you're bullying people like this, if he gets married one day, won't he want to ride on the neck of a man like me? ā
"Look at what you said, His Royal Highness the King of the County is unwilling, so if you don't marry a courtier." I flattened my mouth more and more, "Anyway, I am the abandoned wife of the former prince, which is a matter known to all subjects in the world." His Royal Highness just wants to get married, but I'm afraid it's not so easy. ā
"The subjects of the world only know the former crown princess Lian. As for you... From beginning to end, only the two of us know whose woman it is. Miyahata moved the stool in, took me in his arms, and grinded his ears and temples: "Say, do you want to marry me?" ā
The back of my ears was blown by the palace flags and it was crispy and itchy, but my hands were embedded in his arms, and I was afraid of touching the wound and didn't dare to use my strength, struggling a little, and finally I could only beg for mercy in a soft voice: "Your Highness... His Royal Highness forgives the sin, the courtiers know that they are wrong, and the courtiers just marry. ā
Miyahata still didn't seem satisfied, and continued to rub the tip of his nose and lips against my neck and ears: "So reluctant." ā
Goosebumps were already forming on my body, and I heard my own voice squeamish and soft: "No reluctance......"
"Huh?"
"I... I want to marry His Highness. ā
"Call me what?"
"Temple... No, Miyahata. ā
"It's not good."
"Iā" I convulsed and dodged in vain the plucking of the flag, and finally disarmed and surrendered, "Husband... Good husband, spare me! ā
"If you had said that last night, you wouldn't have been so embarrassed." Miyahata glanced at the crimson on my cheeks, and finally removed the stool contentedly, served a bowl of porridge for himself as if nothing had happened, and ate slowly: "If it weren't for today's incident, you see if I would have spared you so easily." ā
"Something?" I tidied up my clothes and hair in a messy way, "Is the emperor's illness bad again?" ā
"Father is fine." Gong Wan ate porridge leisurely, and his tone was reassuring and calm, "The people in the Tai Hospital are all national players, and after careful treatment in the past few days, my father's illness has improved, and now he no longer has hemoptysis." ā
"Oh... Then what are you still doing in the palace? ā
"I'm not going to the palace today," Miyahata drank all the porridge in the bowl and looked at me, "I'm going to the ghost prison." ā
When I heard these two words, my body was full of joy: "Are you going to see Gong Hao?" ā
Miyahata nodded: "And the big brother." After all, brothers, there are some things that I want to hear them explain clearly. I'm sure they have something to say to me as well. ā
I don't know what to say, but I am nervous in my heart - Gong Hao, he was designed by Wanqiu, Gong Wan and Hou Ye. I was also present at the Fuyun Pavilion that day, and he is now in a ghost prison, so I have to say that I also have a share of the credit.
And the palace house, the palace house has not appeared in my life for a long time. He was like a nightmare, terrible and short-lived.
In fact, a lot of times, I don't want to think about those things. For example, when he first entered the ghost prison that day, did he really reveal my privacy and Gong Hata to Fang Zhiyun, the head of the Criminal Department? If so, when and how did he know about these things?
And the Hou Ye traveled thousands of miles to help, and after the catastrophe for me and the palace flag, he took the initiative to ask for a personal trial of the palace guard. The emperor remembered his decades of loyalty, and he didn't think about it. Since then, the Oni Prison has never made any confession that threatens me or Miyahata.
In the meantime, what did the Hou Ye do to the palace behind my back? And is it possible that it will be the instruction of the palace flag?
These things that were extremely scary were hidden in the depths of memory by the ups and downs of the future. Even if it is suddenly mentioned now, the instinct of the brain is so reluctant to remember.
Or perhaps, only by untying the knots in the depths of these memories can I truly hold the hand of the palace flag and move towards the future without worry.
"I'm going too."
Miyahata didn't realize that I would say this, and looked up at me again in surprise and doubt: "What are you going to do?" ā
"There are some things I want to know too."
"Gui Hotaru, whether you know it or not, these things are in the past, and you don't have to hold your heart because of them anymore." Miyahata's tone was rare and serious, and it was the first time I noticed that his gentle and warm voice was so hard to refuse: "I went for the brotherhood of the whole family." As for you, it's better to stay in the house and recuperate, okay? ā
"Miyahata, you know me." I still shook my head, "We've come so long together, and we've faced so many calculations about right and wrong. Now that they've finally come over, can't they be honest with each other? ā
"- What frankness ... What are you talking about......
The smile on Miyahata's face was forced back by my determined, serious look. We stared at each other for a long time, and finally, he let out a long sigh, put down the dishes and chopsticks, and said, "That's it, I'm used to you." Since we're going to go together, why don't we eat first? ā
I was overjoyed, and despite my injuries, I got up and kissed Miyahata on the mouth. After eating breakfast and dressing, Guan Ju and Pu Jia also knocked on the door again with my wound medicine. The two girls were shocked when they heard that I was going to the ghost prison, but when they saw that Miyahata looked indifferent, they had nothing else to say, but carefully served me and drank the decoction, and took out a small fur jacket from the previous winter and added it to my body.
"That kind of place, others can't avoid it, but the girl is good, and she is in a hurry to go." Guan Ju followed behind me, couldn't help but be silent and began to mutter, "The slave maid only felt sorry for the good meal on the table in the morning, and the girl couldn't stand the smell and spit it out there, but don't blame the slave maid for not reminding you!" ā
