Chapter Eighty-Six: Hypocrisy at Hand, True Love Far Away
Reissen.
In front of the palace gate, the sun stretched the shadows of three people.
These three people are Su Zecai, Liu Yueyin, and a little eunuch.
Liu Yueyin carried the painting box on her back, lowered her head, and stood behind Su Zecai respectfully, like a well-behaved and obedient maid.
Su Zecai was empty-handed, relaxed.
"Master Su, as soon as this Dragon Boat Festival is over, you will bring people to our mother in three days, didn't I tell you? Our mother has been busy these days, and she hasn't returned to the palace much, so you have to find another place if you want to see it, right? Our Niangniang is the top celebrity around the emperor, the emperor stays Niangniang in the Qianqing Palace every day, or comes to our Lixian Palace every day, it is a common thing, the Niangniang is not in this palace, it must be in the Qianqing Palace, don't you move to the end? The little eunuch rolled his eyes and was talking to Su Zecai.
Su Zecai was a little frustrated: "It's useless for me to go to Qianqing Palace, I have to enter Lixian Palace." ”
The little eunuch was angry: "Master Su, then you won't see you today, Niangniang is indeed not in the palace, you can come back another day!" ”
"Alas!" Su Zecai had no intention of leaving, he sighed heavily, with a helpless and painful expression,
He came to Lixian Palace to find an excuse to be a "painter", so that he could meet his mother, Concubine Li, talk and get close.
Although I can't recognize her at the moment, it's a good thing to get in touch with her.
The intimacy of having his loved ones right in front of him made him yearn for it......
"Yo." The little eunuch suddenly shouted, "Look, Niangniang is back." ”
Su Zecai's heart was shocked when he heard this, he raised his head to look at the little eunuch, and followed his gaze, only to see Concubine Li Niangniang leading the two little palace maids to face him.
Su Zecai stared at her, only to see that she was so beautiful, so noble, without a phoenix crown and a veil, but with a golden dress and red silk......
His vision seemed to be a little blurred, and he felt that she was far away and near, erratic, so tentacles, so far and near, ethereal and illusory......
"Master of the Su Academy, Master of the Su Academy."
At some point, Concubine Li had come to his side and was calling him softly.
"Oh." He woke up like a dream, blinked his eyes, and looked at Concubine Liniang in front of him, "Niangniang forgives her sins, Su Zecai is offended." ”
Concubine Li smiled slightly: "It's okay." ”
The little eunuch nodded and said to Concubine Li: "Niangniang, the master of the Su Courtyard came to us twice in three days, saying that he was looking for Niangniang. ”
"Oh." Concubine Li Niangniang felt surprised and stared at him strangely, "What is the matter with the master of the Su Courtyard looking for this palace?" ”
Su Zecai had an excuse to say, he did not hesitate, and immediately replied: "I want to draw some flowers in Niangniang's palace, and the gallery courtyard is used to refer to the portrait of flowers, which is somewhat insufficient, and I think Niangniang is the emperor's favorite person, in the palace garden, there must be a lot of good flowers, I don't dare to paint the emperor's imperial garden, I can be regarded as half a friend with Niangniang, yes, I came to find Niangniang." ”
Concubine Li smiled incomprehensibly: "How do you know that there must be flowers in the garden of this palace?" How do you know that Hongu likes flowers? ”
"This ......" Su Zecai was speechless for a while, unable to answer.
He's just pretending to be clever and just making an excuse to say, come to think of it, which concubine's palace can not have a garden?
Concubine Li looked at his embarrassed face, she was very happy in her heart, and secretly rejoiced: "This child, I'm afraid that he wants me to be a mother again, and he wants to come to see me and talk to me, just like last time I pretended to be sick, he found Wei Xinran to visit me with her, alas! Cai'er, forgive my mother, my mother can't recognize you now, because what my mother gave you is still too little, and my mother wants to owe you these twenty-three years, and compensate you at one time! ”
She finished talking to herself in her heart, and said with a smile: "Master Su, don't be embarrassed, this palace is just a joke with you, let's enter the palace with this palace!" ”
"Yes!" Su Zecai nodded with a smile, followed behind Concubine Li, and stepped into the palace.
Liu Yueyin followed closely behind Su Zecai, she always lowered her head and never raised it.
The little eunuch looked at Su Zecai's back, his face full of envy, jealousy and hatred.
This Su Zecai is really a thriving character!
………
Su Wangfu.
The door is closed.
In front of the gate, there was no one guarding it.
On both sides of the door, there are hanging couplets.
A bleak desolation rises with the wind......
It's obvious that someone is dead, and who is the one who died?
In the main hall, there is a coffin.
In front of the coffin, there is a tablet, on which is written: "Niangsu Princess's Spiritual Seat" seven small characters.
Liang Yuanjin was alone, dressed in linen and filial piety, kneeling on the ground, his face was expressionless, there were no tears, his eyes were dull, he was holding a stack of dark paper in his hand, and he put it into the brazier stupidly and slowly.
That's right, it was his mother, Princess Su, who died.
His father, King Su, committed the crime of "rebellion", and after being executed according to the law, he should be abandoned in the wilderness, and he is not qualified to be buried in a coffin, let alone set up a plaque to mourn.
His mother, Princess Su, learned everything after he returned home, so she committed suicide by poisoning and followed King Su.
When he found out, he was already powerless and too late......
"Lord Wang." A young servant had come behind him at some point and was calling out to him softly.
King Su is dead, and as the son of King Su, he should inherit the throne and call him the prince as a servant.
He was indifferent to the servant's call, as if he had not heard it.
"Lord Wang!" When the servant saw that he ignored him, he raised his voice a little.
He frowned and said coldly, "What's the matter?" ”
The servant immediately replied, "Back to the prince, it is the eldest princess and the third princess who are here." ”
"Brother Liang."
"Liang Yuanjin."
Before Liang Yuanjin could react, he had already heard the calls of Princess Yanmeng and Princess Qingtian in his ears, but he didn't get up, but a wry smile appeared on his face.
The servant quietly retreated.
Princess Yanmeng and Princess Qingtian stepped forward quickly, and the two of them squatted down beside him, one left and one right.
As soon as the two of them looked at the spirit card, their faces suddenly changed, and they both said blankly: "How can it be your mother?" ”
Liang Yuanjin said: "You are here, you should already know everything, my father is guilty of 'rebellion', and after being executed according to the law, he should be abandoned in the wilderness, and he is not qualified to be buried in a coffin, let alone set up a sign to mourn." ”
Princess Yanmeng asked: "Then ...... your mother?"
Liang Yuanjin took over and said: "My mother took poison and committed suicide after I learned everything after I returned home, and followed my father. ”
Princess Yanmeng called affectionately: "Brother Liang." ”
"I'm fine." Liang Yuanjin smiled bitterly and shook his head, "The matter has come to this, and I can only face it." ”
That's a real thing.
If something so big happened, how could he be fine?
Princess Yanmeng and Princess Qingtian glanced at each other, their faces full of worry.
But I heard Liang Yuanjin say to himself: "My father is dead, my mother is gone, the official is gone, and I can sit on the throne of my father." ”
Princess Qingtian stared at him and said: "Liang Yuanjin, you have to cheer up, if you live, you have to live a good life, if you give up on yourself, then it is better to die!" ”
Princess Yanmeng frowned and expressed her dissatisfaction with Princess Qingtian's words.
Liang Yuanjin's eyes lit up, the paper in his hand was loosened, he suddenly stood up, and said loudly: "That's right, I want to cheer up, I promised my mother, I can't die, I won't die, I want to live well." ”
Princess Qingtian smiled with satisfaction: "This is the best." ”
"Sweet!" Liang Yuanjin called out with love, suddenly turned around, and hugged Princess Qingtian around his arms, "Although the emperor didn't send troops to watch me, but I am also a person who can't go out of the mansion anymore, Yu Lu, the emperor is kind to let me take it and live, and the emperor is also kind and ordered to send slaves to take care of me with all their hearts, but what's the use?" ”
Princess Qingtian was at a loss for what to do, and looked at Princess Yanmeng.
Without her permission, she didn't dare to hug the man she liked in front of her.
Princess Yanmeng grimaced and nodded.
Now is not the time to be jealous with your sisters.
With the permission of the eldest sister Princess Yanmeng, Princess Qingtian also hugged Liang Yuanjin with her arms around her, comforting him: "Don't be in a hurry, don't be discouraged, live every day happily, you can rest assured, with our sisters, you will definitely have a bright future in the future!" ”
"Hmm." Liang Yuanjin nodded in response.
In fact, Princess Qingtian misinterpreted Liang Yuanjin's meaning.
Liang Yuanjin wanted to go out of the house, not to think about coming out, because, only when he got out of the house, could he have the opportunity to get close to his beloved woman, Princess Qingtian, and be with her.
In just a few words, even if it is just the happiness of parting with the wind, he will feel satisfied.
But, God knows, when will you be able to get out of the house?
