Chapter 21 The hand of the man is short
The queen's funeral affairs were all handled by the queen, and when the mourning period passed, the queen couldn't afford to be sick.
At this time, it was just noon, Helian Ruoer was waiting for the queen to take medicine, and suddenly heard a report from the little palace maid, saying that the eldest lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion had come to ask for peace.
The queen opened her eyes and waved her hand softly to let her in.
"Say hello to my mother. Met the eldest princess. As soon as Liang Yue finished saluting outside the curtain, she heard the queen cough for a while, and then asked her to come over and speak.
The eldest princess glanced at her and handed the medicine bowl to Liangyue as the queen wanted.
Liang Yue hurriedly took it, knelt beside the bed and fed the queen spoonful by spoonful, and waited until the bowl of medicine was about to bottom, the queen tilted her head and signaled her not to drink it. Only then did Liang Yue give the medicine bowl to the little palace maid on the side, and then took a handkerchief and wiped the corners of the queen's mouth.
The queen didn't speak, and Liang Yue didn't say anything, just served her according to her wishes, thinking that if this could make the queen and the eldest princess not embarrassed, she would be fine, and they didn't do anything wrong, and they couldn't catch the mistake to blame.
"Alright, you go down first." After a while, the queen waved her hand to call the palace maids down, leaving only Liang Yue and the eldest princess in front of her.
Liang Yue was still kneeling beside the bed, bowing her head as a quail.
"Let me ask you, have you been to see the scenery?" The queen asked her.
Liang Yue was surprised in her heart, she didn't expect that the first thing the queen asked would be this. "Hui Niangniang, not yet."
The queen looked at her honest and well-behaved appearance, and couldn't help but think that Shen'er used to tell her in private that Liangyue was a good girl, with a straight temperament and a good background, and she was deeply liked by Jing'er.
Now that Shen'er is leaving her, she is the only one left in this harem watching those warblers and Yanyan live a lonely life, she feels sad, but who is better?
Especially Jing'er's child, who has a strong heart, but the biological mother died, where can this pain be alleviated in just a few days? Ye'er's out-of-the-box temperament suddenly became much calmer, and Jing'er often locked herself in the study and didn't come out, she didn't dare to persuade her, but she was afraid that it would be useless if she went.
Hearing Liang Yue's reply, the queen frowned, and said in a deep voice: "From today onwards, you don't have to come to me every day to say goodbye." ”
Liang Yue lowered her head and answered.
But I heard the queen say: "You will take care of Jing'er from tomorrow, he is sad now, and no one can persuade him." If you go, you might be able to persuade some. ”
Cool Moon: ....... Actually, she wanted to refuse! She would rather come to serve this big Buddha every day and drink medicine, but she doesn't need to serve her, and she doesn't need to be sent to Helian Jing to serve!
"Mother." Liang Yue raised her head, "If I go, the third prince can feel better, and I can go and talk to him every day." But if I have to accompany me every day, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it. ”
The queen lowered her face coldly: "Oh? Tell me, why can't you do it? ”
Liang Yue's expression remained unchanged, and she said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Hui Niangniang's words, it's just that I still remember what I said here before, never have close contact with people in the royal family, otherwise the poisonous oath will come true." What's more, I come here every day to serve you, this is my duty as a courtier, but I can be asked to serve the three princes, I know that this is your order, but I don't know that I think it's my baba to move forward? Presumably, there are so many people who want to serve the third prince at this time, so I won't join in the fun. So the Queen, you'd better send someone else. ”
The queen looked at her and did not speak.
The eldest princess said: "Sister Yue'er, why do you care about those details? He has always been good friends with you, and at this time, as a friend or sister, you go and take a look, what's wrong? The body is not afraid of the shadow, what are you afraid of? ”
Liang Yue bit her lip and said nothing.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, the queen also knew that this matter was not too persecutive, so she was silent for a while, and suddenly said to the eldest princess: "Ruo'er, go and get the wooden box." ”
The wooden box that the queen said was placed on the wooden shelf at the end of the bed, and the eldest princess hurriedly took it down and gave it to her, but the queen didn't take it, but asked Liang Yue to take it.
Liang Yue couldn't figure out what she was going to do for a while, so she didn't answer.
The queen said: "This is what the concubine left to you, when she lingered on the sickbed, Xu had long expected that she would not be able to hold on, so she handed over these things to me for safekeeping, saying that after she left, she would hand them over to you." ”
When Liang Yue heard this, she thought that she couldn't ask for it! So he simply pretended to be stupid, only obedient, but didn't answer.
"Take it, it doesn't mean anything else, when Shen'er was alive, she liked to chat with you to relieve boredom, she really loved you and protected you, you should know this in your heart. is to put aside those worldly identities, Shen'er is so lonely, and it is also her luck to meet someone like you who can make her happy. These things may be her thank you gifts, and it's okay for you to hold them, and no one will say anything. The queen sighed, and her tone unconsciously revealed a little sadness, "It's best if you can accept it, and it can be regarded as a wish of hers." ”
Princess Celestia stood quietly with the box in her hand, as if waiting for Liangyue to make a choice.
has moved out the concubine's last wishes, and if she doesn't accept it, will she become a sinner who makes the concubine feel uneasy under Jiuquan?
Liang Yue bit her lip and was silent, sighed in her heart, and reached out to take it. "Since it is the gift of the noble concubine, Liangyue is grateful for her love. Thank you, mother. ”
Seeing that she was finally willing to accept it, the queen seemed to be relieved, as if she was extremely tired, and waved her hand to tell them to go out together.
The eldest princess led Liang Yue to the outside of the hall and suddenly stopped. "Sister Yue'er, can you listen to me?"
Liang Yue lowered her eyes: "The eldest princess said that it is." ”
"In this wooden box, there is a warm jade bracelet, which was specially asked by a famous craftsman before the concubine's death, and no one gave it to anyone, saying that she wanted to keep it, and when she met someone who was destined, she would give it to her." The eldest princess said, opening the wooden box that Liang Yue was holding in her hand, and everything in it was carefully wrapped in silk cloth, and the first thing on it was the bracelet.
Princess Celestia took one of Cool Moon's hands and put it on for her. "Look, how suitable it is for you. Maybe this is fate, the concubine is so good, I hope you can be happy. After a pause, he said, "If you want to put other things, you can put them, only this one thing, it is of great significance, you must carry it close to you, and you must not throw it away." In this way, if the concubine knows under Jiuquan, she can rest assured. ”
Liang Yue didn't understand what she said, why did she put the reason of "let the concubine feel at ease" to pressure her? There is a way that the dead are great, even if Liang Yue is unwilling in her heart, she has to accept it.
It's just, what does it always feel weird?
Seeing that she didn't refuse, the eldest princess finally put her mind at ease and smiled, and urged her to hurry up and take a look at Helian Jing.
Look at the sky, the sun is already in the west.
Liang Yue was trying to find an excuse to shirk it, but the eldest princess didn't give her a chance to speak at all, and directly called the palace maid to tell her to take Liang Yue to Helian Jing's study, and she herself raised her feet and left.
Liang Yue and the little palace maid looked at each other, and the little palace maid grabbed her mouth before she spoke: "Miss Liang, please come with the slave maid." As he spoke, he bowed respectfully to her and walked in front to guide her.
Liang Yue had no choice but to keep up.
After walking several roads, I saw the dormitory where Helian Jing was from a distance, but the little palace maid suddenly stopped and saluted Liang Yue again: "The eldest princess means that you should walk over by yourself, and others should not disturb you." The slave and maid retired. ”
Liang Yue looked at the little palace maid with a confused expression, almost trotting away, and then looked at the long road ahead, and suddenly felt that her feet hurt and her legs hurt, and it hurt everywhere.
There's no way, take other people's hands short, who calls yourself a cheap hand and accepts other people's things? Now I can't regret it.
So Liang Yue held the wooden box and walked forward step by step, and when she finally walked to the front of the dormitory, Liang Yue was already tired and sweating profusely - why, why not give her a soft sedan chair! Why do you have to come over step by step! Half of the palace! I was stunned and let her come over by herself.......
She even had some suspicions that the eldest princess was deliberately manipulating her.
Someone had sharp eyes, and immediately saw Liang Yue with a resentful face, and was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly ran over and said, "Miss Liang is here?" Come in, someone! Go and report it! ”
Liang Yue crossed her waist with one hand, panted slightly, and said: "Don't worry, ask your Highness to come out, I came to see him, but he didn't come out, what does this mean?" ”
This little dog leg is a secret guard beside Helian Jing, hearing Liang Yue say this, he hurriedly explained to his master: "No, Miss Liang, Your Highness, he is ......"
"Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and go in and tell him, just say I'm here, I'm about to die of exhaustion, and ask him to come out and pick me up." Liang Yue waved her hand angrily, directly interrupting the dark guard's words, looking like "I won't go in if he doesn't come out".
The secret guard couldn't do anything, and he was afraid that this savior would finally come and go, so he had to respond first, and said again and again: "Okay, good, the little one will go in and report it, you can stay here!" Don't go? Don't go! ”
The Dark Guard hurriedly ran in to report.
Liang Yue's legs really hurt, so she simply sat down on the steps in front of the hall, watching that it was getting late, and thought to herself, how should she explain to Su Yi when she goes back later? Could he be misunderstood?
Helian Jing was still in the study, the door was locked, and the secret guard couldn't get in, so he had to say anxiously outside the door: "Your Highness, Your Highness?" Prime Minister's Mansion ......"
"Get out!" There was an angry roar from the study, accompanied by the sound of something being smashed, all of which were telling the people inside: The people inside are very violent at this moment, please cherish your life and stay away from the study.
The dark guard swallowed his saliva quietly, and boldly continued: "But the person who came is ......"
But before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted again by a roar of rage - "No one will come!" Get lost! ”
The Dark Guard silently took two steps back and silently swallowed the words that came to his lips.
Your Highness, if you are so determined, you will be slapped in the face by the law of truth for a while......
