Chapter 5 Returns
Duobu listened quietly, without interjecting half a sentence, and her eyebrows frowned frequently with what I said. After a while, she returned to the old topic: "Don't act recklessly in the future, this is not Beiqiu, we are not so free." You're so reckless to run out to play, how will it end if something happens......"
After a pause, he added: "Before coming to Nanzhan, Lord Tuoba repeatedly reminded me that I should be optimistic about the princess and not let you cause trouble. If the princess reoffends, I will write back to Beiqiu and inform Lord Tuoba of everything. Presumably, the princess didn't want to worry Lord Tuoba, who was thousands of miles away, right? ”
Duobu generally does not open Chrysostom, but as soon as he speaks, the sentences are sharp, the words poke the heart, although there is no danger today, but it is difficult to guarantee that I will not cause trouble in the future, so I deliberately said it more heavily. The tone is stiff, even though it is caring, it makes people feel depressed and uncomfortable. Listening to her talk about Tuoba Su, I was even more aggrieved and drooped my head, and I no longer had the mind to eat candy people, the tip of my nose was sour, and the big tears of beans fell on the sugar man.
Seeing me crying, Duobu couldn't bear it, and softened his tone and said: "I don't want to blame you, it's just that we are in a difficult situation, and we have to be careful in everything, so I can't help my own intentions." You are the princess of Beiqiu, you will bear the honor and disgrace of the entire Beiqiu, in the future, I will follow you every step of the way, and I will not let you take risks alone. ”
Another tear hit the back of my hand, and I lowered my head with teary eyes and whispered, "I'm just homesick." I want to make my uncle, I want to be Zhao, I want to be my little lamb...... I just want to go to the envoys of Beiqiu and ask them to bring a message to Uncle Su for me......"
"But why didn't you consult me in advance, but deliberately separated me and ran out alone." Duobu interrupted bluntly.
I whispered, "I'm afraid you'll stop me and won't let me out."
Duobu smiled dumbly, didn't have the heart to preach to me, straightened up, and went out without looking back. I was in tears, and after seeing her leave, I turned around and watched the rain fall outside the window.
In the blink of an eye, it was another half moon.
A few days ago, because of a conflict with Duobu, the two of them held their breath and did not reconcile, and it has been a long time since they were so deadlocked. Duobu has few words, seems to be gentle and elegant, but in fact she has a strange temperament, and her good temper is also provocative, but to me, it is an exception to her good temper, and the discipline is very strict. It seems to be easy to speak, but the temper is very bluffing, and the great principles of training people are baskets after baskets, and she said so many things for the first time that day, so that I complained bitterly and complained that my ears were calloused and my hair was dizzy. I wanted to go out for a walk and sweep away the sorrow for many days, but because I was not familiar with life in Nanzhan, it was easy to get lost when I went out to hang out, so I had to give up.
Tearing down the memory, I was most comfortable in those years in Beiqiu. Duobu and I chatted about Beiqiu's butter cakes and mare's milk tea, and remembered how much the little lamb raised with Ah Zhao had grown. Duobu didn't say a word to listen to me, and when I said enough, I was relieved: "If you come, you will be safe."
Helping his forehead hurts, but he has fully understood the environment he is in, and it has obviously become a luxury to go back to Beiqiu.
The willows on the shore of the lake are green and yellow, and the eternal day and night alternate, and the four seasons change. As far as I'm concerned, it's impossible to sit in the middle of the court and pass the time, and I have to find something to do to relieve the boredom of being trapped. But then again, I don't know how to write poetry, I'm not interested in Zen enlightenment, and I don't have a heart for embroidery and painting. Until one day, I had nothing to do and fiddled with a zither that had been idle for a long time, and Hua Fu heard it by chance, and immediately ran happily to tell Changji's mother, Princess Yonghe, that she had finally found my interest.
In Nanzhan, everything I do is handled by the Yonghe King and his wife, which is equivalent to my temporary high stewardship. Princess Yonghe was very fond of me when she first saw me, and she loved this delicate and gentle (I thought it was) little girl very much, and she couldn't bear to see me live a boring life, and she was afraid that I would become depressed and sick, so she became more and more interested in giving me fun, but she was always suffering from not being able to do what she liked.
The day after Hua Fu sent the words, a luthier who taught guzheng came to Zhanhua Palace.
Actually, I'm just so bored, where can I get any depression, and I'm a little embarrassed to be so warm-hearted. But I am willing to learn the piano, and I also learned a few days of gonghou when I was in Beiqiu, thinking that they are all musical instruments, all of them are all well-known, and it should not be difficult for me to learn if I still have the foundation, so I agreed. Since then, I have been tinkering with this zither every day, adding just one more boring task to my boring life.
Yonghe Palace and Zhanhua Palace live next to each other, separated by only one wall in between.
My daily life, food, clothing, housing and transportation in Zhanhua Palace are all managed by the Yonghe Palace. The Yonghe King and his wife treated me very well, especially the Yonghe Princess Anping was surprisingly good to me. He was a warm-hearted and honest person, often with a smile on his face, approachable, and always warmly pulling me to ask for warmth, comfort and enlightenment. From top to bottom, from the inside to the outside, I arranged everything properly, even the flower strokes that took care of the sleeping food in the house, which I personally delivered.
Hua Fu grew up beside Anping since she was a child, and she was careful and cautious, smart and clever, so she was sent to me. An Ping thought that there was only one person around me who didn't like to talk, and he didn't know much about Nanzhan's sophistication; She and I are still young, and it is quite inconvenient to deal with people, so it is very useful to send flowers.
The water of Nanyuan Lotus Pond is cold and cold, and the east wind blows more and more cool. In the hot summer, sitting in the gazebo built by the water is really comfortable and enjoyable.
The pink flowers are all over the branches, and I can't name the flowers, but I think they look good. The trees are covered with brocade curtains to shield the flowers from wind and rain. Even with this protection, the petals scattered with the wind are still covered with a thick layer. The spring rain is as thin as a needle, pricking down a lot of red English, the sky is clear, the wind blows those scattered petals at the feet of the swirling, the brocade is tied with the golden bell that drives away the birds, a little blowing, it will send out a crisp and pleasant jingle bell.
In the pavilion, there are flowers to appreciate, tea to drink, and the lotus flowers under the pavilion are swaying, and they are just right. Duobu sent me a plate of peaches, this is last year's winter peaches, hidden in the ice cellar can be stored for several months without spoiling, and it is really a luxury to eat peaches in the summer shortly after the beginning of summer.
Duobu put down the fruit plate, and was called away by Hua Fu without staying for half a moment, and said in a beautiful name, don't disturb the master's progress.
I sat on a stone chair, nibbling on a huge peach in my hand, and occasionally glancing at the zither next to me. This zither was played all morning until its fingers hurt badly, and it was already very impatient at the moment.
I nibbled on the flesh, bored, and lowered my head to count the dense stitches on my clothes. I have to admire this world-famous Nanzhan embroidery, which is really the best in embroidery.
The dress I wore seemed to be called a wide-sleeved fluttering flower butterfly dress, with a long and awkward name, which was the best in splendor, time-consuming, labor-intensive, and costly. A tree of Xinyi flowers embroidered the whole goose yellow clothes, mainly gold thread, decorated with fine pearls. This flower is embroidered vividly, like a real flower blooming, and the three-dimensional butterfly spreads its wings and is extremely natural. The sleeves are wide but light, and they are as delicate and precious as they are rumored. When the Yonghe palace sent it yesterday, it was said that the princess herself had depicted the pattern and made it customized, and it was expected that the princess would like this pattern.
I couldn't put it down after I took it, and I couldn't wait to put it on, and I said that I liked it very much, and if I put it on, I was reluctant to take it off, and I couldn't wait to sleep on it. The female envoy who came to deliver the clothes pursed her lips and chuckled, not knowing how to answer, Duobu whispered to be reserved, not to be rude in front of people, to make people see jokes, I nodded and explained, still happy to hold the clothes for a long time, Duobu helplessly let me go.
The skin of the peach is thin and thick, and the juice is rich, and it is very satisfying to take a bite. The juice dripped on the pale yellow brocade clothes, dyed with gold embroidered Xinyi flowers, I was very precious to this dress, I couldn't tolerate it to be stained with the slightest uncleanness, seeing this, I immediately wiped it carefully with a silk handkerchief.
Thinking about some things, the hot weather makes people upset, and there are thousands of thoughts, but they always think of a complete thing when they can't concentrate on it.
Early this morning, I went out shopping with Duobu, but I didn't expect to be counted down after being sternly refused.
It stands to reason that an identity like me is indeed not allowed to go outside at will, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble. I have a special identity, I don't have any personal freedom, so I should honestly stay at home and don't move around at will.
However, I am a wild horse who is used to being free and easy, and after being stuck in one place for a long time, I will be disgusted and depressed, and I can't stay.
Once in Beiqiu, although Tuoba Zhao was obedient to his father Tuoba and said that he would teach me well, he often rebelled against the elders for me, and secretly took me out to play. Tuoba Su also ordered Tuoba to be sent three times to the left, and he must not take me to the vicinity of the royal court, let alone go in, Tuoba Su is the general who guards the royal court, and he is also the confidant of the king of Beiqiu, and it is very easy for his son to enter and exit the royal court.
But every time Tuoba Zhao only verbally agreed, and in a blink of an eye, he was determined to abide by his father's words, how could he meet me who was such a pestering spirit, and couldn't bear my soft grinding and hard bubbles, so he had to follow my wishes.
That is, on that trip to the royal court, I met Tuobali, the puppet emperor in people's mouths.
It was a middle-aged man I didn't know was my father at the time.
Thinking about it, I sincerely sighed: "I am really unlucky, and my fate is ill-fated."
While he was still in his trance, he suddenly heard a call from afar.
"Is there anybody...... Help me...... Help me. A sudden cry for help not far away interrupted my train of thought, and I was startled, and I hurriedly got up to search for the source of the sound, and finally locked on the lake to the east.
"Who fell overboard?".
I immediately threw peaches and ran towards the lake......
The people who fluttered on the surface of the lake splashed in the pool, but the more they struggled, the deeper they sank, and they had already choked on several mouthfuls of the pond water, and they were about to give up the struggle and sink into the water.
I ran and shouted, "Hold on, I'll save you."
When I hurried to the water's edge, I was shocked. Suddenly reacted, his water nature is not very good, to be precise, he is a half-ass! After thinking about it again and again, I didn't make up my mind whether to go into the water to save people. Looking at the situation in the water, it is very difficult, in my current situation, it is not easy to go into the water to save people, but the people in the water cannot withstand the delay. If this continues, I will be drowned in a short time.
"It's really hard for me!"
Jumped into the water with a plop, no matter what happened to him, it was important to save people.
…………
I stood on the shore, soaking wet, the water of the lake was so cold that I couldn't stop shivering. Dingding looked at the girl in front of him who was rescued by himself, and was afraid. The people on the ground were unconscious, their faces were bruised, their mouths were black, and they looked like they were dying. I took a deep breath and slowly crouched down to probe my breath with my hand.
"Girl, girl...... You wake up. ”
After screaming for a long time, the people on the ground did not respond, and slapping their faces hard did not work. Looking at the person in front of me who was about to die, I panicked for a while, and I didn't know what to do. In the absence of a mind, I also struggled to pull out a trace of clarity, remembering the drama I had seen in the past, when the female protagonist fell into the water and was drowned, the male protagonist inside seemed to be mouth-to-mouth to send gas to save people, and then pressed the drowning person's chest to force out the pleural hydrops. Thinking about it for a while, I can't take too much care about it, anyway, a dead horse is a live horse doctor, so it doesn't hurt to try. Thinking of this, I simulated the operation of the two possibilities.
After swallowing the water in the stomach, a lot of it was squeezed out, but this mouth~ couldn't go down, struggled for a long time, and was about to implement this plan, but the people on the ground suddenly opened their eyes.
"Poof~", spit out a mouthful of turbid water and sprayed it all over my face, but I fainted for a moment.
I wiped my face expressionlessly and sighed: "Forget it, don't worry about someone who just came back from the ghost gate."
The hanging heart finally landed, and the horizontal and vertical people were saved. After a lot of tossing, he was already tired to death, and he sat on the ground panting with his feet stretched, so that he had the opportunity to take a good look at the people on the ground.
This girl is wearing a pale pink brocade dress, she doesn't look very good-looking, but she is also quite delicate, looking at the dress, she should also be a noble woman in Nanzhan, how could she come to this Zhanhua Palace for no reason? However, this Zhanhua Palace is also unobstructed, and anyone can enter.
As I was looking, there were many steps and flowers running in the distance, and there were two face-faced women dressed as maids behind us, and at first glance the girls on the ground were dumbfounded.
Without hesitation, the two maids knelt down, rolled up their sleeves and wept bitterly, shaking the people on the ground incessantly.
