Chapter 6: In the Light and in the Dark
Tears seemed to carry her sadness, and a lot of things flowed out of her eyes, and the emotions that had been suppressed for a long time finally couldn't be suppressed.
Helpless, self-blame, chagrin......
Concubine Chunxi leaned her head on Nie Suisui's shoulder, leaning half of the weight of her body on her, she shook her head and said, "No, you are not her ......"
"It's too similar, it's too similar." She held Nie Suisui's face, and Nie Suisui saw her figure reflected in the concubine's pupils, but the concubine seemed to be looking at another person through her.
Nie Suisui and Yunnan Yao were silent, although the concubine's move was surprising, but the feelings in her eyes were real.
After a long time, Concubine Chunxi came to her senses and said to Nie Suisui apologetically: "I'm sorry, the mourning family has lost its temper." ”
Nie Suisui shook his head and said, "No, the concubine is very gentle." ”
Concubine Chunxi smiled, took her hand and walked into the small courtyard, Nie Suisui turned around and took Yunnan Yao's hand and walked in together. Concubine Chunxi and Yunnan Yao glanced at each other, Yunnan Yao smiled faintly, and Concubine Chunxi nodded, knowing in her heart.
In the past, I often heard people say that the Huangzhu Palace was remote, and the little master of the Huangzhu Palace was not favored by the Holy Grace, but now it seems that it is the opposite.
Whether it is built or furnished, from the structure of the house, to the courtyard pattern, to the palace decoration, the garden care, simple and elegant, it is not so much a palace as a large-scale country house, which is exactly in line with the mind of Concubine Chunxi. If you don't really like it, how can you remember her preferences so clearly, how can you arrange them so carefully. Every flower, tree, brick and tile here shows the first emperor's concern for Concubine Chunxi.
Concubine Chunxi pulled the two to sit down at the small table in the courtyard, ordered someone to make tea, and asked someone to serve melons, fruits and pastries.
"It turns out that you are the second eldest member of the Nie family, is it the Nie family in the Hexiang Palace?"
"Back to the concubine, exactly." Concubine Chunxi's hand always held Nie Suisui, warm, and Nie Suisui also shook her back. The feeling that the concubine brought to herself, this kindness, is somewhat similar to that of her mother.
"It turned out to be Jinglan's daughter."
The concubine's eyes suddenly drifted far away and became clear. There is a kind of woman in this world, who is gentle, shallow to others, and does not fight with others, others seem to be weak, but in fact, they see the world more thoroughly than anyone else.
See clearly, but don't say. Knowing the impermanence of the world, there is a lot of helplessness, and after a great enlightenment, it is inevitable that he is more easy-going than ordinary people.
Nie Suisui saw that her mother was such a woman, and Concubine Chunxi was also such a woman.
"Princess...... ...... with my mother."
"It's familiar." The concubine said with a smile.
After a while, a faint fragrance of tea wafted in.
Yunnan Yao got up: "The concubine's yard has planted a lot of tea, which is worthy of being taken care of by the concubine herself, although the fragrance is light, but it lasts for a long time, and the ministers are eager to get it and taste it." ”
The concubine nodded and smiled: "Go ahead." ”
Yunnan Yao walked to the brewed tea, and the palace maid had already packed up and was ready to serve it.
"I'll come." He took it from the palace maid, took two steps, and turned around and said, "Today, the concubine is out of shape, don't spread it, whether it's for the concubine or for the Huangzhu Palace." Remember to remind the other ladies of the palace that if this king hears half a word about this in the future, then be careful. ”
Yunnan Yao's eyes were cold, and the palace maid was so frightened by him that her body trembled, and she trembled: "The slave understands." ”
This place was covered by many flowers and plants, and the two of them chatted happily not far away, not noticing the situation here.
He looked at the cordial appearance of the two, and he had the illusion that he had been superfluous in the past. I thought she would encounter a lot of trouble when she entered the palace, although she did encounter it, it was only a small problem, and in general, the trip was quite smooth, and even a little unexpected.
The two of them were laughing happily as he brought the tea over.
He took a sip of tea and praised it: "The concubine's tea is excellent, no wonder whenever I talk about diet with the queen mother, the queen mother always praises the concubine's tea." ”
"The person who drinks the most mourning tea in the palace is the Queen Mother. Suisui, what do you think? ”
"Hmm." Nie Suisui took a sip, the entrance of this tea was cool and sweet, and then the throat was astringent and slightly bitter, and he couldn't help but want to taste the second bite, over and over again, there was a feeling of pleasure in bitterness.
"I think it's delicious."
Concubine Chunxi touched her head and looked at Yunnan Yao, her eyes flickered: "I grew up watching Xiao Yao, Xiao Yao is a very responsible child." ”
"Please rest assured, the concubine will never let down Suisui." Yunnan Road.
Since he married Nie Suisui, he will definitely be responsible for her for the rest of his life.
But...... The concubine gave him a strange feeling, as if Nie Suisui was her dearest relative, and he was an outsider.
The concubine sighed, a faint sadness spreading from her brow.
"Why did the concubine cry when she first saw me?" Nie Suisui saw her show such an expression again, puzzled, "What you said is like an old man, is it a very important person?" ”
"Yes, that old man, is a very important person." Concubine Chunxi gestured her finger on Nie Suisui's face, "The appearance of the two of you is at least eight points similar." ”
Eight points are similar, no wonder they will admit mistakes.
"Then concubine, do you think of me as her?"
"Silly boy." The concubine rubbed her head dotingly, "No matter how similar it is, it's not." You are you, she is her. ”
"You...... Can you tell me about her? Nie Suisui is usually not a curious person, but she wants to know this matter, and she wants to know what kind of person the woman who is eight points similar to her is.
"It's not too early, if you often come to accompany the mourning family in the future, the mourning family will tell you."
Seeing that the concubine was a little tired, Nie Suisui and Yunnan Yao didn't bother, got up and prepared to leave.
The concubine saw the Xun tied on her body and said, "That kid gave this to you, it's not bad." This is not an ordinary Xun, and later, the mourning family will teach you how to blow this Xun. ”
The original way back to the Qing Palace, on the way back to the house, Nie Suisui lay on Yunnan Yao and slept all the way. Tuojun looked as if he had something to say, and Yunnan Yao gave him a silent gesture: "Let's talk about it when I go home." ”
The carriage stopped in front of the palace, Nie Suisui was still sleeping deeply, and it seemed that she was tired, Yunnan Yao took her to the room and covered her with a quilt, looked left and right to confirm that it was correct, and then walked into the study.
As soon as I saw Tuojun, there were two people in the study, respectfully waiting for him to arrive.
Yunnan Yao sat on the chair and said lightly: "Say." ”
Several people glanced at each other, and Tuojun spoke first: "The subordinates have investigated the princess's usual affairs, the princess has rarely played with the princes and nobles since she was a child, and she often mixes in the market, and has a good relationship with the shopkeeper of the Qian family." I don't know if it's a coincidence or ...... She has a relationship with many Jianghu forces. ”
"Which ones?"
"The subordinates investigated that the princess often went to Qingfeng Tower and Bieyuefang, and had a very good relationship with the young master Luo of Miaoge and the lovesick girl of Yulangzhai."
Yunnan frowned slightly: "How good is it?" ”
"Drink and talk and joke with each other."
Yunnan Yao's brows furrowed even deeper, and he was silent for a long time, and said, "Continue to investigate, and in addition, also check on Concubine Chunxi and Princess Hexiang." ”
"Subordinates obey."
After Tuojun finished reporting, Yunnan Yao looked at the other two: "But Ya, Langzhu, you continue." ”
"Your Royal Highness, seven days later, the little girl of the Lord of the Red Maple Valley will become an adult, and the rite of passage is also a ceremony to inherit the position of the young master, and the forces of the rivers and lakes were invited to participate, and our Wangjiang Hall is also among them, Miss Lanlan said, she had something to do that day, and she wanted you to go by yourself." But Ya said.
Langzhu continued: "I heard that the face of the Red Maple Valley Lord is big enough this time, so please move the owner of the Silver Leaf Mountain Villa." ”
