Chapter 54: Meeting
"One day, Prince Xiao came to chat with Concubine Xian, and later General Shen also came here, and happened to meet Sisi, and the two chatted somehow, as long as General Shen came to Huayue Hall in the future, he would inevitably say a few words to Sisi. Gradually, we can all see that Sisi has some interest in General Shen, and General Shen seems to be good to Sisi, so he plans to match the two of them. I don't know where the news came from, the emperor plans to give General Shen a marriage, after learning this news, Sisi was hit hard, she didn't think about tea and dinner every day, and her spirit became sluggish, Concubine Xian Niangniang was very anxious to see it, although she persuaded many times, but still had no effect. Bi Lin sighed deeply and did not continue.
I can basically guess the rest of the matter, Sisi has been a simple child since he was a child, and he has never hidden what he likes, and when he hears the news that the person he likes is going to marry another woman, he will naturally not be able to support it.
It's just that I've been with Shen Yu for so many days, why haven't I ever heard anyone in the mansion say that he was married by the emperor?
I frowned and thought for a while, then asked Bi Lin, "Then has General Shen come to see Sisi these days?" ”
Bi Lin shook his head gently: "So this time, taking advantage of Niangniang's birthday, we must leave General Shen behind." ”
I nodded, even if they didn't say I would. I told them not to act rashly and take good care of Siguo, and then hurried back to the temple.
At this time, it happened to be in time for the lively "blind date". I saw a woman dressed in a gorgeous costume get up from her seat and walked to the center of the hall, after giving a salute first, she held the pipa that the palace maid carried up in her hand, the jade fingers plucked lightly, and the refreshing pipa sound spread throughout the hall, which really fulfilled the "big strings are noisy like torrential rain, and the small strings are cut like whispers." Noisy and staggered, big beads and small beads fall on the jade plate. This is an old word.
The girl had just finished playing a song and hadn't left the stage, and then another one said in a loud voice: "Little girl, there just happens to be a dance here that wants to be dedicated to Concubine Xian, I wish Concubine Xian Niangniang every year today, and every year has a future." ”
When I heard this, I almost didn't laugh out loud. Is she cursing Concubine Xian to watch her husband marry another woman every time she is born? However, everyone didn't seem to hear the meaning of this statement, and only cared about drinking and clapping their hands.
After the dance, a few more people came up to perform. This formation is comparable to choosing a concubine, and each girl's talent is comparable, and it is difficult to distinguish the winner from the loser.
The emperor didn't watch the show either, and only cared about the noble man in his arms. Concubine Xian's shallow drinking, always smiling, is like a sculpture, without joy or sorrow.
The banquet lasted until the end of the evening. In the end, the emperor still failed to stay in the Huayue Palace, but left first with the drunk Wan noble.
Shen Yu and King Xiaoyao were the last to leave the main hall. I followed them, and when I saw that they were about to step out of the yard, I walked up quickly and quietly pulled the corner of Shen Yu's clothes.
The Easy King looked back at us and left alone. Shen Yu seemed to be a little drunk, but his eyes were still clear, reflecting the bright moonlight, exuding a dazzling luster.
Probably because I inhaled too much alcohol, I actually felt that Shen Yu was more handsome than ever at this moment, which also made my heart beat a lot faster.
I avoided these heart-warming eyes and whispered, "The villain has something to ask for."
"Say!" Shen Yu leaned against a peach tree and squinted at me.
I was silent for a long time before I spoke: "Does the general remember a palace maid named Sisi?" ”
"Sisi?" He tilted his head and thought for a long time, and then his expression finally changed from doubt to sudden confusion and nodded.
When I saw him remember, I told him about Sisi's recent situation. He didn't speak, just kept looking at me. I was so stunned by him that I couldn't help but yell, "What the hell do you think!" ”
"You just want me to be with Sisi so much?" I nodded to him vigorously, I hate Shen Yu very much, but who let Sisi be my sister, as long as she likes it, I must help her get it!
"Good!" Shen Yu laughed suddenly, he laughed loudly, and the peach tree behind him shook violently because of the trembling of his body, and it rained pink flowers.
I looked at him so crazy that I didn't know what to say for a while, I could only wait for him to finish laughing. Seeing that his laughter was gradually subdued, I asked, "Have you laughed enough?" Let's go when we've laughed enough. ”
Shen Yu hung his face and snorted coldly, and strode forward. I also followed him to Sisi's courtyard. Before the candlelight in the house was extinguished, I stepped forward and knocked on the door gently, and said, "Sisi, it's me." ”
There was silence in the room, and after a long time, a hoarse voice was heard: "Come in." ”
I pushed the door in, glanced at Sisi who was lying on the bed with my eyes closed, and glanced at Shen Yu at the door. He flicked his sleeves and followed, walking straight to the bed.
Probably sensing a figure coming, Sisi opened her eyes, and I vaguely saw joy gradually showing on her pale face, and her godless eyes slowly became bright.
I quietly turned and walked out, leaving this place for them after a long absence.
Spring is no longer as cold as winter, nor is it as depressed and monotonous as winter. As I strolled down the bushy path, I suddenly felt a little lonely.
The cold moonlight poured down from the sky, illuminating everything around them whitely. In the distance, there was no sound of people, and the sporadic lights mixed with the rising mist became faint.
I remembered Li Bai's song "Silent Night Thoughts", doesn't it fit my current situation? Thinking about the time I have been here for almost half a year, I have lost the momentum that I was not afraid of, and I even feel as if I have integrated into this time and space, and I am afraid of this feeling.
I walked with my head down, immersed in my emotions for a while, and I ran into a person coldly, causing me to retreat again and again, if he hadn't pulled me, I would have fallen.
"Feeling bad?" His voice slammed into his cochlea. I looked up at him, didn't know what to say for a moment, and nodded subconsciously.
"Haven't you already gone back?" After walking side by side with him for a while, I asked in a low voice. Seeing him and Concubine Xian coming in a "couple outfit" today, the relationship must not be simple. I suddenly felt that the sentence I was asking was a bit redundant, and I added: "Forget it, I don't want to know." ”
"You really don't want to know?" He grabbed me, looked into my eyes with black eyes, and asked me in a low tone of seduction.
"I don't want to." I broke free of his hand and turned to the side, staring at the dwarf wood on the side of the road.
"Concubine Xian and I used to be childhood sweethearts, but now we are friends; I married **, just to fulfill the agreement. "Is he explaining this to me? I couldn't help but chuckle.
"Lord Wang, you don't have to report to me one by one what you do, I'm just a minion." I kindly reminded him, turned around and knelt on one knee: "The night is heavy, the prince should go back and rest early, this is the palace, it is seen by some people with ulterior motives, and it will probably cause criticism if it reaches the ears of Concubine Xian or Miss Zhu." ”
