Ripples in the Heart (Part II)
"Nothing. I just don't want to tell him. I want to spend a day in this palace as I did in the past, and I wonder if you will be able to grant it. Wanning said calmly.
"Yes, yes, of course, you grew up here, and this is your home. I've asked them to clean up your old house, and the contents are still the same, the same. But aren't you afraid that Xinjie will know and be suspicious? ”
"How could he have the heart to think about it?"
"Where would his mind be if it wasn't in you? Could it be A Yilan from Youtong Village? ”
"You know when you see Ah Yilan, the kind of girl whose eyes are as clear as a mountain spring, as long as she is a man, she will be moved."
"What are you going to do? Can't you tie his heart if you're so outstanding? ”
"Nothing is planned. It doesn't matter if you're outstanding. Every man, whether he admits it or not, has a virgin complex, and every man has a yearning for a beautiful fairy sister who is purer than white silk. ”
"Aren't you a fairy to him?"
"It's a kind of secluded simplicity. But I'm no longer a white silk, I wasn't born with, and I've been through too much. ”
The Queen Mother said no more.
Of course, Yiyi remembered that today was Wanning's birthday, and although he was far away from the capital, he had already arranged for someone to send the birthday gift to Aoki Garden.
In the backyard of Chunhui Palace, Wan Ning slowly sorted out things in the room where he had lived. She grew up here, and everything is a record of her deep childhood and youth. She thought that she had completely walked out of this cold world, she thought that she had a warm embrace, but now everything seemed so unreal and unlasting to her, as if the short flowering season was about to pass away. And the coldness and loneliness seem to be eternal. She hooked a mocking smile at herself. After going through so much, I would still make such a childish mistake.
She opened the dressing box, which was left in the palace back then, with a wooden comb and a few ordinary silver hairpins, and the hosta was still there. She picked up the upper floor, and there were a few house deeds and a few keys lying below, which were the properties and mansions of the Zhou family and the Yan family in the capital. She had planned how she would make a living if she left the palace one day.
It was nearly dusk before Xinjie took the Ah Yilan brothers and sisters back to Aoki Garden, and the people didn't know when the masters would come back, so when the housekeeper Zhou's mother saw Xinjie, she was a little panicked. Because the hostess did not tell her how to prepare the dinner, she just asked the cook to prepare some briefly, and she did not know whether these were in line with the host's hospitality.
"Where's the young grandmother?"
"Haven't come back yet."
Xinjie unexpectedly saw Xing'er at home: "Why are you here, young grandma?" ”
"The young grandmother told me to come back first at noon, and she said that she had something to do in the palace today, and she would not come back at night, so she could not help you entertain the guests. The young grandmother asked the little one to remind you that you need to enter the palace tomorrow to pay homage to the Queen Mother. In addition, I appreciated snacks in the palace, and the young grandmother asked me to take them back and give them to the young master Erda and Miss Ayilan, and I have already put them in the guest room. ”
"Has Madame Zun always been so busy?" Ah Yilan was very curious, there were so many things she wanted to know.
"No, maybe tomorrow is the Queen Mother's birthday, she needs to help with some things." He found a good reason for his wife.
Since getting married, there was no hostess at home on the first night of Aokien. Xinjie stepped into their room and felt a little deserted. In the morning, the moon season sent by Xinye was placed on the table, and there was a beautiful gift box next to it, and a post was pressed underneath.
"What is this?" Xinjie asked Cai'er on the side.
"This is from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to send it to the young grandmother from Yichang. The eldest young master also asked someone to send a set of books to the young grandmother, and I put them in her study. In addition, the things that the queen mother in the palace gave were some jewelry, which was placed on the side of the dressing table. ”
Within one day, the two brothers and the crown prince all sent things to their wives, as well as the queen mother's reward, which made him very suspicious: "What day is today, everyone sends things over." ”
"Why, you don't even know?" The subordinates have been suspicious for a day, and everyone didn't know about it, but when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked people to send something at noon, he made it clear that it was a birthday gift for the young grandmother, and there was no celebration at home, not to mention, the young master also went out with others, and the young grandmother also stayed in the palace, and the subordinates didn't know what was going on. "Today is Grandma's birthday." Cai'er quit after speaking, she didn't want to stay here, this couple was the most affectionate on weekdays, she didn't know what was going on, maybe Mother Zhou was right, The kind of simple woman who looks pitiful is often a disaster.
He was lying alone in bed, sleepless. He should have thought a long time ago about how the woman who gave her heart completely to him could not be aware of the turmoil in his heart for the past two days. His wife's heart is as fine as a hair, how could she miss the difference between his two days. He should have been aware of her early return and pretending to sleep last night, but when he was distraught, he lost his bearings. Less than a month after the newlywed Yan'er, his heart was in turmoil, which made her embarrassed. And her response was so cold. If she complains to herself, or shows a little dissatisfaction in front of her, he will be conscious, he will be restrained, and he will try to show a circle in front of her. And she did not resent, or even avoided it without saying a word, which made him afraid, afraid that she would no longer value herself, afraid that she would fade out of her life, afraid that the demons she brought out of the palace would start to haunt her love again, and at this moment she was hiding herself deep in the cold palace.
The next day, he arranged for Xing'er to take the Erda brothers and sisters out early, and then hurried to the palace by himself. He had gone to great lengths to keep her in its entirety, he couldn't let her be lost in the cold palace again, he couldn't let her retreat in a lonely corner to heal her wounds alone. When he saw her in the palace, she was still so bright, but there was less enthusiasm and more peace in his eyes. They paid homage to the Queen Mother together, and attended the birthday banquet together in the Imperial Garden, which seemed surprisingly peaceful, making the people around them feel that they were so worthy of happiness, and Xinjie was panicked. They also saw the new heaven in the palace, and they saw the new field. The former thought that they were still affectionate and smiled at them, while the latter just looked at them lightly and said hello lightly, and had no intention of coming over to laugh with his brother and sister-in-law as usual.
When returning home at night as a wife, it seems unusually calm and natural, and after greeting the guests, they go back to their rooms to rest. When I arrived in the room, I was unfazed, surprisingly indifferent, and I didn't even look at the gifts on the table and didn't ask. When her husband approached and begged, she just said that she was tired, turned away, and after packing up, she said that she would go to the study to read and let him rest early. Xinjie knew that this day's snub would take him many days of hard work to make up for something.
At the moment when his wife pulled away, he still hugged her: "Why didn't you tell me that yesterday was your birthday?" ”
"Who told you?"
"I'm your husband, and you didn't know it was your wife's birthday until you saw the gifts your brothers gave you, why didn't you tell me?"
"You never asked."
"Then you should have told me yesterday too."
"There's nothing to say, but an ordinary day, no matter what. You're so busy, why waste your time on these little things? ”
"It's certainly not a small matter, you know it's important to me, you know how much I love you, how can you treat this like an ordinary day?"
"Really? That's really sorry. After saying that, he smiled faintly and wanted to turn around.
These words were so faint that he was heartwarming. He reluctantly grabbed her and lifted her chin, but she just glanced at him faintly and lowered her face to look at him. He forcibly possessed the lips that spoke cold words, and the lips were colder than the words. He tried his best to warm her with his body, but nothing in return, and in desperation, he could only beg her: "Don't do this, okay?" ”
"Don't want that?"
"Don't leave me alone."
"Is there one?"
"If you don't go home for a day and a night, you still say no?"
"Didn't I come back? You have someone to accompany, I'm inconvenient for you, I consciously retreat to give you enough space and time to do what you want to do, I myself also stay quietly for a day, wouldn't it be nice to have a day off? ”
"Not good, girl, really bad." He lifted her chin again and forced her to look at himself.
"When I was in Xianyang, I told you that if one day you really fall in love with someone else, I want you to tell me. Don't worry, I'm not going to fight, I'm not going to rob, I'm not going to do anything to hurt her. If you don't think it's convenient for you to be here, I can go, I can leave right now and give her everything here. Her eyes were so ethereal and indifferent that he couldn't grasp them.
"You are not allowed to go anywhere, this is your home. You don't need to fight for it, it's yours, it's all yours. ”
"Let me go, okay? I am tired. "She's never been so unconfident in their feelings, and she feels so cold in her heart that she wants to quit.
"Men can be a little confused sometimes, and they look twice when they see cute things, but I know who I love."
"Really? But it seems that your confusion did not begin today or recently. She's been in your heart for a long time. Her purity, her weakness touches you and makes your heart flutter. Confused and obsessed. ”
"When she rescued me and took care of me, I was very tempted, but it was only tempting, and it didn't cross the distance. I'll admit that seeing her innocence, I was a little embarrassed, but you believe me that it's not a long-term relationship, it's just a possessive desire of men, and I think a lot of men have. It's a pure white silk, and anyone would want to leave a mark on it. ”
"But not everybody can keep it, can they? Don't tell me you don't know she likes you. Although the jade fish is important, she doesn't need to send it herself. The way she looks at you, an idiot can understand. ”
