Chapter 55: Believe in Him
Duan Jingya was finally buried with the etiquette of the crown prince's side concubine, since the burial, Li Jiancheng has never come to me, he locked himself in the palace for three whole days, but the queen and Zheng Guanyin and others were in a hurry.
Duan Jingya left, Mrs. Li took Zong'er to the palace, I'm afraid I can't stay in this Li Mansion, after everything is done, I will also go back to Duan Mansion.
Dressed in men's clothes, I pushed open my sister's room, and I saw her sitting quietly in front of the window embroidering as she used to be, and I stood in the center of the room, looking at everything that was still in front of me.
"Sister, Yue'er is going back to Duanfu today."
I smiled, but my eyes were unconsciously blurred, I looked at Duan Jingya's dresser, a folding fan was lying quietly on it, I walked over and picked up the folding fan, gently opened it, on it is a picture of the moon in the mountains, and the words "Jiyue Breeze" fell on the back, it was the folding fan that I accidentally fell last time, I remember hearing your secret when I came back last time to pick it up. Now let this secret be a secret between me and you forever!
I cried, not because Duan Jingya died, but because she represented the women born in this era. If you can't control your own destiny and marriage, you can only become a victim of politics, a sad era when you want to love but can't love. How many women like her were bound to freedom by the orders of their parents and the words of matchmakers, and finally married someone they had never even met. Then marry a stranger and have children, and follow the good name of virtuous and virtuous, the husband can have three wives and four concubines, but he can only end up from one. How ironic!
At this time, Xiao Rong walked up to me: "In the past few months since Miss left, Mrs. will hold this folding fan in a daze every day, and Mrs. said that having your sister is the greatest luck in her life." ”
Tears fell onto the folding fan and dizzy.
Coming out of Duan Jingya's room, Xiao Rong looked at me with red eyes, this girl and Xiaofu are both wedding girls brought by Sister A from Duan's Mansion, different from Xiaofu, Xiao Rong is much calmer, now that Sister Ah is gone, where should she go?
"Xiao Rong, what are you going to do next?"
She looked back at the room that had been closed, "Now that Madame is gone, Xiao Rong just wants to keep what Madame left behind." ”
"Okay, I won't force you anymore, if you want to go home one day, you can do it at any time, Duanfu will always be your home."
Xiao Rong's eyes were red and said, "Well, miss." ”
At this time, Xiaofu ran over in a panic: "Miss, too... The princess is here, please go to the front hall! ”
"What? Zheng Guanyin? ”
Jeff gasped and nodded, and I frowned in confusion.
…
In the antechamber, as soon as I stepped through the door, I saw Zheng Guanyin standing in the hall with her back to the door, and her maid saw me and whispered a reminder to her, she quickly turned around, and I saluted her according to her current position.
"The little girl meets the princess."
"No courtesy, Yue'er Bengong is not here for anything else this time, but to ask for something."
I looked at her frowning and serious appearance, and I guessed seven or eight points in my heart. But he still pretended not to understand and asked: "I don't know the princess, why do you need to ask me, a little-known little woman?" ”
She walked up to me and looked at me, her eyes were puzzled, "Ji Yue, this palace believes that I came to beg you for something, you already know in your heart, this palace knows that you hate this palace, but that..."
I smiled and interrupted her, "The crown princess is serious, and the little girl doesn't dare." ”
She suddenly looked at me speechlessly, and finally lowered her head, gritted her teeth, raised her head to look at me, and said with a firm look in her eyes: "As long as you can persuade His Royal Highness the Prince, I will promise you whatever you want!" ”
I sneered, looking at the woman in front of me, if it weren't for her, I probably wouldn't have come to this world, I wouldn't have experienced all this, I might still be living well in that free and democratic 21st century, snuggling up on the sofa with my mother after work every day and watching bubble dramas.
"I want you to give up the position of the crown princess and stay in the Li Mansion for the rest of your life, are you willing to do it?"
The girl next to her suddenly roared, "Bold! Dare to be so rude to the crown princess! ”
"Xiao Cai! Shut up! Zheng Guanyin scolded sharply, looked at me and bit his lip and replied, "If this is what you want, then good, I promise you." ”
I looked at her with some shock, I didn't expect her to agree, seeing that Zheng Guanyin really loves Li Jiancheng, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, she is also an infatuated woman, but she was forced by this polygamous system, the life of this deep palace compound full of intrigue, and she had to pay attention everywhere and calculate her life.
I let out a long sigh "Hey~ Forget it, when I said I laughed." ”
She looked up suddenly, looking at me with an unbelievable look of surprise, "You... You promised? ”
I nodded slightly, "You wait for me, I'll go with you." ”
Her eyes were slightly red, and she smiled, "Thank you." ”
…
The carriage drove all the way into the palace.
Zheng Guanyin took me to the door of Li Jiancheng's dormitory, with some expectation and some resistance in my heart. It's been more than a month, and we've been apart for more than a month.
The person I want to see now is behind this door, but I'm timid.
Li Yuanji saw me and walked towards me. I was a little curious as to how he came back, but I didn't hear anything from him. When did he return to Chang'an.
Li Yuanji walked up to me, looked at me, and said for a while: "Here, go in and persuade the imperial brother!" He hadn't been out for three days, and the food had barely been touched. Now I'm afraid he's only listening to you...", he looked at me and frowned slightly as if he hadn't finished speaking.
To be honest, I didn't know how to face Li Yuanji, so I finally had to muster up the courage to ask, "Is there anything else?" ”
"You and the Imperial Brother he..."
I looked at him and didn't say anything, as if he understood, with a hint of frustration and self-deprecation in his eyes.
Li Yuanji looked at me and wanted to see a different answer from my eyes again, but unfortunately he was wrong.
I stopped looking at him and turned and walked towards the door. He saluted the queen and said, "Queen Mother." ”
"You! It's you! Abduct my son! Now you dare to enter the palace! ”
I looked at the gorgeously dressed woman in front of me, she didn't like me and Sister A when she was in the Li Mansion, and now the more she looks at it, the more she hates it.
"Queen Mother, it was the son who invited Sister Yue into the palace."
Zheng Guanyin stepped forward to stop me, and Dou turned his head angrily to stare at me, eager to swallow me alive.
I sneered and walked towards the gate, knocking on the door: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, the little girl Duan Jing is good to ask to see, and I hope that His Highness will open the door and see you." ”
There was not a sound in the room, and for a while, I thought he would not see me, but I did not expect the door to creak open, I pushed the door and walked in, and the next moment the door was closed again.
As soon as I entered the house, a strong smell of wine came to my nose, and I turned to look at Li Jiancheng who closed the door, is this still the beautiful man in white clothes? The jaw is covered with stubble, the hair is disheveled, and the smell of alcohol is all over the place. It's even more sloppy than the last time I saw him in "Listening to the Rain Building"!
He looked up at me through his hair, and I couldn't help but be startled by those bloodshot eyes, and he staggered past me until he reached the bed, rolling to the side of the bottle he kicked along the way, and he sat down on the edge of the bed, raising the flask in his hand and looking up to drink.
I carefully walked around the flasks on the floor, walked up to him, and saw a woman lying on the bed holding a piano standing under a peach blossom tree, which was very beautiful.
I looked at the portrait and smiled bitterly: "It's so beautiful, my sister was so beautiful at that time, if I were a man, I would be moved." ”
I saw that Li Jiancheng continued to drink and ignore me, I sat down beside him without care, and the next second he suddenly turned around and hugged me and buried his head in my neck socket. I was stunned for a second, hugged him, patted him gently on the back, and comforted, "Why locked yourself up?" ”
He didn't say anything after hearing my words, just hugged me tighter, I smiled and continued, "You know what? Even if it's a misunderstanding, it's a beautiful misunderstanding, and the feeling of heartbeat can't be wrong. ”
Hearing this, he looked up at me, and I smiled and raised my hand to fix the messy hair on either side of his cheek.
There was some fear in his eyes, and some helplessness made my heart ache, and I saw his pale lips slightly open: "Don't leave me, Yue'er." ”
I was stunned, was he afraid of this? I smiled at him and said, "No, I won't leave you." ”
I put my hand on his cheek, he closed his eyes and rubbed it in my palm, I knelt down and kissed him on the lips like a dragonfly and said, "Cheer up, okay?" They all need you, and I need you. ”
He froze, slowly opened his eyes and looked at me, the first time he was like a child in front of me. I patiently reassured him, "Shall I tie your hair for you?" ”
Seeing him nod, I pulled him to the dresser and straightened his hair, and when it was done, I looked at him, reached out and touched the stubble on his chin, and pouted, "You don't seem to be suitable for growing a beard." ”
He looked at me and laughed at my words, reached out and pulled me into his arms, I sat on his lap, and he put his arms around my waist.
"Yue'er, I'm sorry, I didn't protect Lan'er, don't worry, I will definitely protect Zong'er from now on."
I smiled and said, "Okay, I trust you." ”
