Chapter 12: When Old Joys and New Dreams Come Together
The room was surprisingly quiet, and the hollow carved silver incense balls on the red sandalwood table were burning with agarwood incense, and the smoke curled up, diffusely dispersed, and finally became thin and disappeared.
"Mademoiselle has been sitting motionless like this for a few hours." "I know! How do you say? "I don't know, didn't I just ask you!" Zi Mo and Zi Su were two little girls standing behind the plum blossom Lingxue screen and whispering. Zi Mo told Zi Su everything that happened just now, and at this time they were all worried about Han Yue but didn't know what to do, so they could only do it in a hurry.
"It turns out that he has a favorite person in his heart for a long time." Hanyue sat by the window, looking at the crape myrtle flowers gently swaying in the summer breeze in the distance and muttered to herself. The carefully arranged Apple Smoke Pavilion, the peach blossom note that fell from the book that day, his too frequent departures, and his several thoughts and stops...... All of this, now that I think about it, I was too dull to realize such an obvious thing.
At that moment, she was shocked, she was angry. She was angry that Nangong Jing had deceived and concealed her for so long, and she even suspected that Nangong Jing's kindness to her and gentleness to her before was only because of weakness and guilt. Thinking of this, Hanyue shook her head and smiled sadly. Can she not let go of her mouth at this point? The result of not letting go will not only not stop the development of the gaffe, but also make Nangong Jing feel that she is jealous and unreasonable, which will only cause Nangong Jing to be bored with her in the end. She loves Nangong Jing, so she doesn't want to share his love with others. It is precisely because she loves him that she is willing to give everything for him, as long as he is happy.
Hanyue stood up and stood in front of the window, she seemed to be looking at the delicate flowers in front of her, but when she looked closely, she didn't, her eyes didn't converge, and there was an indescribable feeling brewing, like looking at a very, very distant place, with no end.
It didn't take long for the decree of marriage to come down, and the ceremony of accepting the concubine was arranged in September, when the osmanthus was fragrant. Hanyue only remembers that at that time, as the head of the house, she had to manage everything steadily and attentively. With a smile on her face, she happily entertained her guests, and she knew that no matter how bitter she was, she could not show the slightest on her face.
Han Yue stood aside with the guests, watching Nangong Jing lead Su Yuyan, who was dressed in a rose-red dress. He was overjoyed and in high spirits. He's so happy, she should be happy for him, shouldn't she? But when she saw this pair of beautiful people walking in front of her, her heart couldn't help but ache, as if an invisible hand was grasping her heart, and she kept rubbing it vigorously and repeatedly until it was scarred.
A few stars adorned the dark blue sky, shining faintly. The candles on the bronze finch candlesticks on several cases burned faintly, and the candle oil flowed down the candles like tears, drip by drop, accumulating a thick layer on the candlesticks.
More sound leakage, the night is as cold as water, the moon is in the middle of the sky, it is clearly such a good night, but the cold moon is lying on the collapse, tossing and turning and sleeping. Han Yue only felt a heavy discomfort in her heart at this time, she thought that she could be generous and not care, but in fact, she couldn't care less at all. As long as there is love, there will be jealousy, and as deep as love is, jealousy will be as deep as it is, and it turns out that no one in this world is immune. A drop of crystalline liquid ran down the corner of her eye and disappeared into her hair.
On the second day, Nangong Jing went to court.
After breakfast, Han Yue sat in Han Yuxuan's hall and waited for Su Yuyan to come and serve tea.
After a while, Su Pingyan slowly moved the lotus step. She was wearing a carmine color butterfly pleated skirt, her face was ruddy, and her face was shy. Hanyue only felt that compared with the dusty and elegant she saw that day, she was more charming and beautiful today.
Su Pingyan stepped forward, took a cup of tea from the tray of the maid on the side, knelt down respectfully and saluted: "Concubine Su Pingyan has seen the princess." As he spoke, he raised the teacup above his head.
Hanyue reached out and took a sip of the teacup, then put the teacup down and said, "Get up." Then he ordered Zi Mo beside him: "Come on, reward." Zi Mo walked up to Su Pingyan with a tray and placed a delicate brocade box on the plate.
"Princess Xie." Su Yuyan saluted again, and Fang reached out to take the brocade box. In the brocade box is a set of jadeite heads, looking at the color and workmanship of the jadeite, it can be seen that it is worth a lot. Su Yuyan was a little surprised, she was stunned, and then put away the brocade box and handed it to her maidservant.
Han Yue, as the head of the house, must formally instruct the upper side room to say a sentence or two, she saw that Su Yuyan had put away the brocade box, so she continued: "Since you have entered the door, you are a family, you must abide by your duty and serve the prince with your heart." ”
"Yes, the concubine understands." Su Yanyan lowered her eyebrows and said pleasing to her eyes.
Facing Su Yuyan, Han Yue's heart still couldn't be completely calm, she saw that the tea was finished, and the reward was finished, so she said, "Okay, it's okay today, you can go down and rest." ”
"Yes, the concubine is retiring." Su Yuyan saluted and left.
"Miss, why did you give her such a good thing, this was given to you by the prince, and you are reluctant to use it yourself." Zi Mo said reluctantly in the back.
Zi Su pushed Zi Mo with his elbow on the side.
"Ouch, you ......" Zi Mo screamed, and before she could finish speaking, she saw Zi Su give her a look, she instantly understood, and stopped talking.
Su Yuyan took Yancao and Bisi two maids, and the group went out of Han Yuxuan. "Do you think the princess doesn't seem to like me very much?" Su Yuyan walked slowly on the path, she looked at the beautiful blue bellflower flowers in the garden, couldn't help but stop, reached out and picked one and picked it up and sniffed it.
The two girls glanced at each other, and Yan Cao pondered for a moment and took the lead in speaking, "Miss." When Su Yanyan heard this, she glanced at her with some displeasure. Yan Cao lowered her head and hurriedly changed her words: "Concubine Su, the slave maid heard that the princess was kind to people, so you must have been too worried. ”
"No, look at the slave, this princess must be jealous of you being more favored by the prince, and this son is feeling uncomfortable." Beth retorted, a flattering smile.
Su Yanyan smiled faintly when she heard this, but did not answer. She glanced at the wilted bellflower in her hand, threw it on the side of the road in disgust, and headed for the Apple Smoke Pavilion.
"Miss, you're back." Mother Jiang saw that Su Yanyan was back, so she hurriedly went up to greet her. Jiang's mother is Su Yanyan's nurse, and in her heart, she has already regarded this young lady she raised since childhood as half a daughter.
After Su Yanyan heard this, Dai's eyebrows frowned slightly, "Nurse, don't call me Miss in this palace in the future." ”
Mother Jiang said with a sneering face when she heard this, "Yes, Concubine Su, the slave can be saved." Su Yanyan hummed with satisfaction.
