Chapter 17: Doo-yeon (7)
"Didn't you just persuade me to be so happy and angry, how could it be your turn, so lost and depressed." The jade nobleman and Ruyue returned to Yongshou Palace together. Pity sighed: "Although the emperor is the Son of Heaven, he is entangled in political affairs all day long, and it is inevitable that there will be times when he is bewitched, why should you embarrass yourself with this!" ”
"Sister Yushu, I don't blame the emperor for Qin Duchu. It's just that at this time, I really can't convince myself that I don't feel bad. Luan'er has only been gone for a hundred days, and the emperor's heart is only left with the flesh and blood of the first nobleman and Concubine An.
These short 100 days are not enough to eliminate my thoughts about Luan'er. But it can make the harem things wrong, and everything has changed. "Ruyue finally doesn't have to pretend to be tough with a smile, she has taken off her thick armor, and her arrogance is now showing a little weakness, which is pitiful." Since ancient times, it has been difficult for the emperor's grace to last. But I thought that God loved me, and the emperor would not treat me so coldly. But it turned out that it was just my own wishful thinking. ”
Yu Guiren had never seen such a lost and depressed Ruyue, his chest was tight, and he didn't know how to persuade him.
Ruyue looked at her with a sad expression, and couldn't help but laugh at herself: "It's so decent, what to do with these things, it's not something that can be sorted out for a while." Instead, it made my sister uncomfortable! ”
Xi'er brought a cup of purple ginseng and black chicken soup, and scooped two small bowls on the small table between the two. "You have been a vegetarian these days, and you have lost a lot. The complexion is not as good as usual, so you have to be careful to nourish it. This is carefully prepared in the small kitchen, and it just so happens that the jade nobles are also there, so I will accompany my mother to use some! ”
Yu Guiren smiled indifferently and was envious: "Look at your side, so many people are coaxing, and they are not satisfied." I want to pick the highest branch to see what to do, and I am not afraid of stretching my neck and tired with a pair of big watery eyes. As he spoke, Yu Guiren thoughtfully brought a soup bowl to Ruyue and approached: "Drink it while it's hot, it's going to be in vain if it's cold." ”
"The people around you." These words touched Ruyue, and she suddenly broke free from her sad arms, remembering Li Guiren's words. For a while, Ruyue was a little stunned, scooped a spoonful of soup and put it to her lips, neither drinking nor speaking.
"Does it taste wrong?" Xi'er was a little worried: "Otherwise, the slave maid will exchange it for something else?" ”
Yu Guiren tasted it lightly and smacked his lips and tasted it carefully: "There's nothing wrong with it, as soon as I drink it, I know that it is an old fire soup made of fresh black chicken, but it seems that she is distracted by what she is thinking." ”
Xi'er and Yu Guiren glanced at each other, and unconsciously let out a long sigh, and gently touched Ruyue's hand: "Niangniang, if you have anything to say, don't hold it in your heart alone, see that you have wronged yourself!" ”
"What?" Ruyue put down the soup spoon by the way, and a pair of ignorant eyes looked extremely confused.
"Ruyue, what's wrong with you?" The jade nobleman looked at Ruyue worriedly: "What do you have to say to my sister." Even if my sister can't help you with anything, she can always listen to you! ”
"No, it's not." Ruyue rubbed her forehead and said in a low voice: "My sister doesn't know, when I left Chuxiu Palace, Li Guiren suddenly grabbed my hand and said 'woe to Xiao Wall', asking me to beware of the people around me." ”
"Woe to the wall?" Xi'er's heart shook suddenly, and he didn't feel guilty and said: "It was the slave who was negligent, and she didn't notice any changes." Please also punish the mother! ”
Seeing that Xi'er suddenly became serious, Yu Guiren was also nervous: "How can this be?" On weekdays, your palace is the best place to speak, and every time I come, I feel extra relieved. What's more, you are surrounded by old people who have accompanied you through hardships, how could you suddenly have a disaster? Impossible, how is this possible! ”
Ruyue suddenly laughed, and her laughter sounded exceptionally crisp, like a lark's tactful singing voice. But smiling and laughing, her tears unconsciously burst out of her eyes, sliding down her slightly dissipated face in strings, crystal clear.
"You are ......" Yu Guiren pulled off the handkerchief pinned to the placket in a panic, and then came to wipe away the tears on Ruyue's face.
Like that again and again, the gentle and pitiful movements made Ruyue's nose sour and she wanted to cry more and more.
Where has Xi'er seen her own mother like this, she can't help crying. But I was afraid that she would feel even more uncomfortable when she saw it, so she had to turn her head and wipe the tears from her eyes with her sleeves.
"I know now that only you are good to me." Ruyue raised her head and looked at Liang Dong desperately, the pattern of the phoenix flapping its wings was luxurious and exquisite, but it was distorted at the moment. She knew that she shouldn't be weak and shouldn't give in at this time, but she still couldn't help her heartache.
The tears that can't be stopped, Zhenzhen is a bead with a broken thread, and it is not controlled at all. "Whether I am a high-ranking concubine or a humble palace concubine, you are all truly helping me. Rejoice for me, sigh for me, and think of the Fa to coax me to laugh. But at the end of the day, what can I do for you? Nothing?
I can only make you sad, make you sad, and even put your lives at risk! I can't do anything...... I'm the most useless person at all! Ruyue talked to herself, venting the depression in her heart.
Although Yu Guiren was distressed, he also felt that it would be better for her to say it. So he didn't persuade anything, just silently wiped away her tears. Even if she can't wipe it clean for a while, she doesn't feel that it doesn't matter, at least this kneading action can let Ruyue know that she has always been with her, whether she is happy or sad.
This friendship has never changed, and it will never change.
"Mother." Xi'er said with tears: "The little princess can't die in vain, and the power of the harem must not fall into the hands of the queen." You and the emperor haven't seen each other for a long time, and the relationship is naturally light. But the slave maid thought, the emperor must have you in his heart! For today's plan, it is most important to find out the evil embryo in our palace first. ”
"Isn't it, keeping such a person by your side will sooner or later bring disaster to yourself." The jade nobleman was indignant: "There really is no time to stop." There are no people outside the red wall who don't envy the brocade clothes and jade food in the Forbidden City, but they are really imprisoned in this imperial city, only to know that it is just that the red face has been boiled into dry bones, and the darkness has tormented this life. ”
Ruyue covered her face with her hands, sniffing the tired and slow aroma emanating from Zhan Tan, and couldn't help but feel sad. "Either I am heartbroken and wash my face with tears, or I will try my best to turn the tide and win back the emperor's heart."
"Good!" The jade nobleman stood up suddenly, and the golden acacia hairpin on his sideburns fluttered: "This is the Ruyue I know!" Sister, you must know that you have never been alone, you and me, there are Xi'er and Peishuang, and there are a large number of people who are willing to live and die with you. ”
"Sister Yushu." Ruyue finally held back her tears, and threw herself into Yushu's arms with a bitter smile. "Am I stupid, I've been in the palace for so long, and I've seen all the red faces and dry bones you said, but I still want to believe that 'your heart is like my heart'? That's not the case at all. ”
It's hard to get rid of the childish Ruyue, like a child who can't grow up. The jade nobleman gently stroked her black sideburns, full of warmth: "I would like to believe that maybe you and the emperor will create a story through the ages!" The emperor is always different to you. ”
"Get in here!" Peishuang's voice was exceptionally loud.
Before Yu Guiren's words were finished, the door of the wing room was slammed open.
Le Xi'er almost crawled in, and the corners of her aching mouth almost reached the root of her ears. "Master, spare your life, master, the slave knows that he is wrong, so you can spare the slave this time."
"What's the matter, you frizzy appearance, beware of startling the mother and the nobles." Xi'er hurriedly stepped forward: "Won't you have something to say?" ”
"Say it well? If I hadn't gone to see what was going on, he wouldn't have been able to deny the prevarication. Pei Shuang broke in angrily, his eyes were bloodshot, and he looked like he was going to tear Le Xi'er apart.
Ruyue rubbed her red and swollen eyes, and said calmly: "Peishuang, what's going on?" ”
"Miss, don't you know, there is really such a person in the cold palace. But it's not the Guerjia clan at all, it's clearly the Guarjia clan's former personal maid. Today, the queen has already gotten out the serious one, but the substitute punishment is still trapped in the cold palace and guilty!
This is a good errand that Le Xi'er did, and she refused to admit it, saying that it was impossible for the Guerjia clan to slip out of the cold palace. The slave maid is going to ask who is the master who is pregnant and has become a concubine! It's really unreasonable, it's infuriating. Pei Shuang said so many words in one go, and he really moved the atmosphere, and he couldn't breathe.
Yu Guiren was confused, and didn't understand what was going on: "What is the cold palace guilty, what slipped out, Peishuang, don't be angry first, sort out the clue and explain it clearly." ”
"I hear you clearly." Ruyue motioned for Pei Shuang to drink tea first, and then it was not too late to slow down. But he said: "I don't know when, the offended Guerjia clan in the cold palace was brought out by the queen and found a palace maid to replace him." At first, I was afraid that she would kill the one in the cold palace, so Pei Shuang found someone to keep an eye on.
I didn't think that the queen still had a trick, and it is no wonder that the Guerjia clan was beaten into the cold palace back then, and she did not bite out that when the queen was a concubine, she poisoned the former queen with leeches. ”
If it is really a worm of death, there will never be a day of extinction. Ruyue couldn't hold back the hatred in her heart, and she could only blame herself for not realizing it early in the morning. "It's that I think of the queen too simply."
"Isn't it, miss, haven't you seen that the one in the cold palace is like a madwoman. If it weren't for the slave maid who stepped forward and lifted her sour and yellow withered hair to identify it carefully, how could she find that she was just a little palace maid. It's no wonder that the grandmother who delivers food every day doesn't notice it. Pei Shuang drank a pot of tea, and finally felt a little smoother: "It's all to blame Le Xi'er, this dog slave with eyes and beads." 's own affairs are also done so carelessly, and it even makes people calculate to go to the emperor's dragon bed. How can the slave swallow this resentment! ”
