Chapter XXVIII

When I woke up, it was already dawn, I sat up groggily, rubbed my temples, what happened last night did not leave a clear impression in my mind, I stared at the obvious folds on my side in a daze, at the moment when I was still conscious, Li Xuan kissed my forehead, thinking of that gentle kiss, I was full of cleverness, could it be that I really slept with him all night?

It seems that I have always had physical contact with him in the past few months, but this time it seems that I took the initiative to hug him, so I have no backbone to complain about him. I lifted the brocade quilt and got out of bed, the whole person was so delighted that I didn't have any energy, and Mrs. Su's death was really a big blow to me.

Xiao Ye, this girl doesn't know where to go, I haven't seen her come to help me wash up for more than a year, I have been spoiled by Li Xuan for more than a year, I have reached out for food to open my mouth, I have long been accustomed to Xiao Ye's service.

"Princess, are you awake?" Xiao Ye's voice sounded outside the house. She pushed the door in, and when she saw me get up, an ambiguous smile appeared on her delicate little face: "When the prince left in the morning, he specially instructed the slave maid not to wake up the princess, the prince is really considerate." ”

Xiao Ye put down the basin and deliberately threw a big eyebrow at me, this girl became more and more unorthodox. Is Li Xuan and I so inseparable? Just sleeping in clothes, this girl is happy to become this virtue, and when it is spread, others think that I am not attractive, and I can't keep Li Xuan to spend the night in my house.

I remembered the feeling of crying in Li Xuan's arms again, it felt familiar and strange, but it didn't make me hateful, I had to admit that deep down in my heart I didn't reject his kindness to me, but there was still a vague uneasiness. Li Xuan is like a beautiful dream, I don't know if this dream will be broken one day.

"Princess, are you still thinking about the sweetness of last night?" Xiao Ye's ridicule changed my thoughts, I glanced at her with interest, I obviously slept last night and was unconscious, where did the sweetness come from?

The rain from the previous day continued, and the rain became more intense and melancholy. I gently stroked the ruby hairpin and said to Xiao Ye, "Help me choose a plain white dress, I'm going to Su Mansion." ”

Xiao Ye smiled: "The slave and maid will go now, and the prince will tell Steward Li to prepare a sedan chair before going to the court, and he will be there at any time." ”

I nodded, Li Xuan was thoughtful, and he must have thought everything for me, and what he did for me at this time made my heart feel more warm. Although he will not be devoted to me alone, he will definitely do what he says to protect me. That's enough.

The vast sky is overcast and hazy, low and uncomfortable, I am clearly sad, but I can't cry, my heart is so blocked that I can't breathe, I am an orphan girl who doesn't even know who she is, Mrs. Su treats me as her own, she is my mother, I feel painful when I see her die, and the pain is very depressing.

Su Mansion hung up the white silk, full of coldness, Xiao Ye and I walked into the mourning hall, only to see the sad expression of Lord Su, the old housekeeper in charge of the funeral and the back and forth of the Su Mansion. Mrs. Su is an honest official, living simply, the Su family has no other relatives, Mrs. Su's funeral is very low-key, her mourning hall is cold and quiet, I walked over, knelt down, and her face was full of tears: "Dad, my daughter is not filial." ”

"Child, get up, Dad and Mom don't blame you." Master Su's little bit of vicissitudes penetrated through, and with such sadness, he seemed to have aged by more than ten years all of a sudden.

"Your body is weak, and you haven't been recuperating in the Xuan Palace. Your mother's illness is not a day or two, she and I deliberately hide it from you, for fear that you will be sad and break your body, if it weren't for King Xuan's insistence, I would have brought this secret into the coffin. ”

Intuitively, Lord Su had something important to say to me, I gestured to Xiao Ye with my eyes, Xiao Ye nodded at me and retreated, Lord Su bent down and stood up, he walked to Mrs. Su's coffin, and caressed the coffin lid affectionately: "When I was young, I was a merchant in Qinzhou in the southwest, and my family has been a businessman for generations, and my generation has made the jade business of my ancestors very big." The city lord of Qinzhou didn't know what method he used to make Qinzhou independent of the Great Qi and the Southern Kingdom, Qinzhou was located on one side, and the prosperity was not inferior to the capital, and he didn't even have to bow his head to any side to pay tribute. ”

"My life was uneventful, just doing business to make money and carry forward the family's foundation. Until I met Liniang, I gambled once in my life. Speaking of Mrs. Su, there was a faint soft light on Lord Su's face.

"Liniang is gentle on the surface, but tenacious, the first time we met was on the willow bank embankment, I was walking and chatting with my friends, she came gracefully and broke into my eyes. She said that if I want to marry her, I will give up Qinzhou and go back to the capital with her. When my parents died young, I allowed her, entrusted my business in Qinzhou to a friend, and came to Beijing with her alone. ”

I never knew that there was this encounter between Master Su and Mrs. Su, and at this moment, Lord Su's eyes glowed with dazzling brilliance, such as sympathizing with Dou Chukai's young man, the two of them were in harmony with each other, and they were the envy of others. I couldn't help but think of me and Li Xuan, but I didn't feel a little gloomy. I will never have such pure true feelings.
