Chapter 14 Exercising power in the palm of the king's hand
"As a girl of the Shen Mansion, you don't want to win glory for the Shen Mansion and make profits for Yanjing, but you blindly act rashly, it's really disappointing."
"Look at your eldest sister, now that you are the mother of a country, there is no one in the harem who disobeys her, but you can't even keep a small palace. Back then, I exhausted half of my life to give birth to you, and I knew that this was the case, so it was better not to leave you with this life in the first place. ”
"Who in the aristocratic family is not three wives and four concubines, or your eldest sister in the world, is she the only one in the harem?"
"Look clearly, you're a person who no one loves. Your parents, your siblings, your husband, your children, all will abandon you. I really don't understand why you are still living like this. ”
"It's the son, it's the son who killed the owner. Miss, you want to avenge the owner......"
Endless, malicious, cynical, hateful, all kinds of voices roared and screamed in her ears, and cold sweat flowed down her face like a waterfall.
Colorful lights and shadows flashed quickly in front of her with countless figures.
Shen Li floated in mid-air, like a ghost. The person who kept circling in the mask seemed to be her, and it didn't seem to be her. is a few moments, but it seems like decades of time.
"Master, master." An anxious and worried voice pulled her back from her nightmare.
With half a cup of tea, Shen Li's whole person was prostration, and he didn't know what day it was.
She turned around blankly, and Qingxing next to her was looking at her with a worried face while holding the lamp. "Is the master having a nightmare? Sweated so much. Qingxing let go of the lantern and hurriedly lifted the curtain and hung it up.
The dry handkerchief wiped away the cold sweat from her face, and the cool night breeze also brought her a touch of clarity.
Shen Li violently held Qingxing's hand and carefully examined her face.
Qingxing didn't dare to move, for fear of scaring her, but said softly: "The slave is here, don't be afraid, master." ”
The hands are warm, and the people are also familiar to him, Shen Li exhaled, then relaxed his tense back a little, and muttered a little: "I just had a dream, a terrible dream." Speaking of this, she suddenly lifted the quilt again, stood up and walked around the room, and said in a panic: "Why are there only the two of us, and the others?" ”
Qingxing hurriedly grabbed her, and helped her to sit on the couch on the side of the hanging window. "Today is the night of slave and maid duty, and several of their masters will be able to see them early tomorrow morning. The eldest prince is not here tonight, didn't he come to tell the master in person that he was going to go outside the city? ”
Shen Li grabbed her hand, and his voice suddenly raised a little: "Eldest son? After shouting, she hurriedly added: "Yes, eldest son." She rubbed her head and looked around blankly. It's strange that I can't remember what happened in my dreams. ”
Qingxing saw that her mood had calmed down, so she said softly: "The master's clothes are all soaked with sweat, the slave and maid go and fetch some water to wipe the master's face, and then find a clean dress for you to change into, so as not to catch a cold." ”
In fact, not only the clothes, but also the hair was soaked. It's just a big night, and it's not easy to dry after washing your hair. Shen Li was in a trance, and he didn't pay so much attention to it. According to the green apricot, I simply freshened up. Qingxing went to change to a new bed, and then helped her lie down again.
I don't remember anything in my dream, but the panic is still there. Shen Li grabbed the edge of the cup and said to Qingxing, "Is the Wutong in our house or where is it?" Bring it over and fall asleep on my couch. ”
Qing Xing smiled and pointed to the Duobao Pavilion shelf hidden outside the light, "Ah, where is it." I guess I just heard the master's voice, so I came over to take a look. ”
The big round eyes were looking at her gently, and for some reason, Shen Li always felt that he saw the taste of tolerance and comfort in it.
She stretched out her hand and beckoned to Sycamore, "Come here, Sycamore." ”
The Duobao Pavilion shelf was also two or three feet away from them, and Wutong tilted his head to look at her, and paced back and forth on the shelf for a few more steps. Then he rubbed his paws on the spot, jumped directly and fell onto Shen Li's bed. It's just that I didn't choose a good place to stay, and I was almost wrapped in a flexible and smooth curtain and slid down.
Shen Li hurriedly reached out to grab it, Qingxing helped to send it into the tent, and said with a smile: "We have to change the bed cover again before the eldest prince comes back tomorrow." Otherwise, no matter how much the eldest prince loves Wutong, it is estimated that he will not be able to stand the cat hair everywhere. ”
"Uh-huh." Shen Li lay down with the sycamore in his arms and sighed with satisfaction. Sycamore obediently rubbed her chubby head against her neck, and then lay down on her stomach in the armpit. "You go to sleep, too."
"Okay, I'm outside, and the master can call me at any time if he has something." Qingxing tucked the thin quilt for her, touched the head of the sycamore, and then blew out the light and put down the curtain and went out.
The room was calm again, Shen Li touched the soft fur of the sycamore, and rubbed it affectionately. Although her mind had regained her calm, there was always some uneasiness in her heart. Such a series of distracting nightmares seemed to imply something. But she was always unable to grasp any bit of information from her dreams, no matter how profound the images in her dreams were, she would always forget everything after she woke up.
Shen Li hugged Wutong with one hand and held the jade pendant hanging from his neck with the other. "Uncle Rong, bless me, don't have an accident."
Yunshui Villa has lost a young master, and it has become quieter and quieter.
When people walk in the middle of it, they occasionally wonder if they have made a sound, it is too quiet. If it weren't for the whistling of the wind blowing through the rocks and the sound of waterfalls falling from above, it would be hard to find a single superfluous sound here.
Because its owner is happy and quiet, if there is no little master who likes to be coquettish and angry, others will not dare to easily offend the master's taboo.
Colorful butterflies flutter in the flowers, and a snow-white and fluffy cat nests in the flowers, lazily combing its smooth and bright fur.
Autumn is in place, and countless golden leaves are scattered among the flowers, and stepping on them can make a creaking sound. The lame puppy rolled next to the big cat with a flattering and cautious look. He pushed the bone he had just picked up to the big cat.
The big cat glanced at it indifferently, waved it with its paws, and continued to lick its fur without pause.
When the puppy saw that the big cat did not chase it and did not want to pay tribute to the bones, he immediately fell down next to the big cat and began to gnaw on the bones.
Yan then read it happily on the side, and said with hatred: "Even if you are lame, you are still a cub of a wolf dog, why is it so cowardly." ”
Rong Yin glanced at him and pointed to the envelope on the table, "Take a look." ”
Yan then muttered, "Why do you want me to read the letter from your son-in-law." Although he complained, he was quick to do so. Before the end of the note, he had already pulled out the letter and unfolded it.
The little maid behind Rong Yin pursed her lips and rolled her eyes at the top of the pavilion.
"Yo, I can't see it. I thought it was a stuffy gourd that couldn't knock out a word with three sticks, and I didn't expect it to be so obedient to write beautiful words. ”
Yan then skipped the words in front of him at a glance, and when he saw the middle, his face suddenly became strange, and he looked back and forth several times in a bumpy way, and after making sure that he didn't recognize the typo, he finally resealed it and put it back. "What do you mean by this cheap son-in-law, he has only been married to the girl for a few days, and he dares to stretch out his hand to us. Look at what you say, no matter how subtle and nice it is, it's not that someone in our village has a bad heart for you. ”
He crossed his waist and paced back and forth for a few steps. patted his head and said angrily: "No, according to the meaning of his words." This person with a heart is still the closest person to you. What does he mean by this, a tiger cub from the Southern Regions, reaching out to one of our Jianghu forces who does not interfere in the affairs of the imperial court? ”
Rong Yin didn't speak, just slowly scraped the tea foam in the cup with the tea lid. In fact, a cup of tea has long been cooled, and he will never drink cold tea, but just use this action to calm the emotions in his heart.
The closest person to him? One is married far away and the other is in Jiangnan, both of them are children who are raised by one hand, how can there be a problem.
Gu Yun, Gu Yun, Rong Yin rarely wrinkled his eyebrows.
"The eldest son of the Gu family can be regarded as a clear stream among the children of the nobles of the Southern Regions. Not to mention how noble the background is, two generations up can still be related to the serious royal family. Although the king of Zhennan is old-fashioned and incomprehensible, he has overgiven the treatment that should be given to a son-in-law. It is estimated that when this big wedding passes, the excerpt of the Southern Regions' request for the title of the prince can also be approved. Not talented, not angry, and very good-looking, except for the lack of words and cold faces, I really can't find other shortcomings for you. ”
It's been almost a month since Xiao Qi married in the Southern Regions, and after careful calculation, this letter was actually sent half a month after they got married. He would not question the ability of the young master of the Southern Regions. If he can really do it inside and be different from the truth that many people have learned, it will show this person's strength even more. What was the reason for him to make this move?
