Chapter 57: The People in Zhaoye Temple (2)
Pei Yaowei thought that what was waiting for her would be a sad mother, but she didn't expect that this Mrs. Zhao would be such a lively character.
Then again, is Mr. Yiyuan's wife such a person......
In the face of Mrs. Zhao's praise, she was intentionally surprised: "Mrs. has never looked in the mirror since she was a child?" β
Mrs. Zhao probably didn't expect her to react like this, for a while, her expression was slightly stunned, but her eyes were a little brighter.
Instant rain spoke out at the right time and introduced the two of them: "Madam, this is the princess Niangniang." β
Hearing this, Mrs. Zhao was more and more surprised.
She looked Princess Chu up and down, her eyebrows and eyes were full of approval, and she said: "The princess is good-natured, Your Highness is really blessed!" β
Pei Yao said in her heart, that is not necessarily.
Mrs. Zhao invited a few people into the house, and the maid served tea, and said in an instant: "The princess heard that the girl was sick, so she came to visit." She glanced into the inner room, and then asked, "I wonder how the girl is doing now, but it can be seen that she is all right?" β
Mrs. Zhao still had a smile on her face, but her tone was much slower, "It's much better, I just took the medicine and fell asleep for a short time." She looked in the direction of the inner room and sighed silently: "This child is a disease brought by the womb, and he has been plagued since he was a child. I don't dare to try anything good, but if I can see her grow up happily, I am thankful! β
The sorrow in her words was very shallow, and Pei Yao thought that only if she had been tempered by the illness for a long time and her hope faded, could she be so indifferent.
After talking for a while, Pei Yaowei always felt uneasy, and always involuntarily glanced at the inner room. She didn't understand herself, the one who fell asleep inside was obviously a little girl she had never met, why did she only listen to a few words related to her, so she couldn't rest assured for no reason?
She was thinking like this, and Mrs. Zhao noticed that her heart did not belong, and after thinking about it, she smiled and said, "It seems that the princess likes children very much." β
Pei Yao was stunned for a moment, and for a while, she didn't know how to answer, so she could only smile and say: "Sick children are always more painful." Speaking of which...... If Madame doesn't mind, can you take me to see the girl?" Otherwise, I'm always uneasy. β
Mrs. Zhao naturally agreed.
In the inner room, there is still a faint smell of medicine. The little maid who was guarding the bedside saw someone coming in, and hurriedly got up to salute and make way for her to come, and Pei Yaowei came closer to see the sleeping little girl with the permission of Mrs. Zhao.
A little face that was flushed, but the lips were pale, and I didn't know what troubles I had encountered in my dreams, and the two little eyebrows were tightly twisted, so that people unconsciously wanted to smooth her.
"Her name is sorrowful?" Pei Yaowei lowered her voice and deliberately joked with Mrs. Zhao: "This is not worthy of the name, little person, where do you have all these sorrows?" Look at this frowning ......."
Mrs. Zhao also sighed: "What can be said, she was still a big grin two years ago, just this year, I don't know if it was the serious illness that scared me a year ago, eight days out of ten were depressed, I was depressed there, no matter how you ask, she didn't even like to say a word, but she was going to worry me to death!" β
Mrs. Zhao was talking here, Pei Yao didn't hold back, but still reached out and gently stroked the little girl's brows, this stroke didn't matter, who expected, but when she withdrew her hand, she grabbed her sleeve stiffly.
Pei Yaowei was slightly stunned, and pulled out tentatively, not wanting to be this little person, but his strength was not small, and his hands were clenched tightly, and he didn't leave half a penny.
"This kid ......" Mrs. Zhao smiled bitterly: "I don't know what I dreamed of again, I am afraid that I am using the princess as a life-saving straw!" β
As she spoke, she planned to wake up Zhao Qingchou, but Pei Yaowei stopped her first, "Madam," she said, "If Madame doesn't mind, let me accompany the girl, and save her from waking her up." Thinking about it, after a while, this momentum dissipated, and the little hand was released. β
"Where is the princess," Mrs. Zhao said, "You don't mind being serious!" β
Pei Yaowei sat down on the edge of the bed, and there were many people in the room, so Mrs. Zhao and Instant Yu took everyone else out. I don't know how long later, as soon as the sleeves of her dress moved, she raised her eyes to look at the person on the bed, and saw the little girl slowly open her eyes.
"Are you awake?" Pei Yaowei smiled slightly, and took out ten percent of the gentle concern and said, "Are you thirsty, are you hungry?" Shall I go and call your mother for you? β
Zhao Qingchou rubbed his eyes calmly, didn't speak, just kept staring at her.
Pei Yaowei didn't care at first, and even had the heart to laugh with her: "Little girl, you don't recognize ......" She tucked the quilt corner for her and asked casually: "Do you recognize who I am?" β
Unexpectedly, Zhao Qingchou spoke.
"I recognize." She looked at her and said again, emphatically, "I know you." β
Pei Yaoyan's movements paused.
Zhao Qingchou asked again: "Niangniang, do you recognize me?" β
There were many things hidden in her eyesβmany things that a six-year-old shouldn't have.
The tide of his heart surged, Pei Yaowei never thought that one day, he would be confused by a six-year-old child, just with these three simple sentences.
"I didn't recognize it in the past, but I recognize it today." After a while, she still smiled lightly, tilted her head, and said tentatively: "Unless, you think I should have recognized you?" β
When the words landed, she didn't have time to wait for an answer, Mrs. Zhao and the others heard the movement in the outhouse, and they all came in.
Zhao Qingshu woke up, Mrs. Zhao was busy here again, and Pei Yaowei and Instant Yu left after a while. When she was sent out, Mrs. Zhao still regretted and said: "I knew that the princess was so good, I should have gone to the mansion to meet her!" It's better than now, when we meet and we have to separate! β
When Pei Yao heard this, she couldn't help but be surprised: "Madame is leaving?" β
Mrs. Zhao told her that the little girl had lived in Zhaoye Temple for a few days, and now her external illness had stabilized, but she was still sick, and she had already set up a departure here tomorrow, planning to take the child to the front line to find her father.
"That's ......" Pei Yaowei was a little worried, "Mr. Yiyuan's medical skills are naturally not said, but the front line is the front line, what if there are any dangers on the way?" Is there enough guards around Madame? β
"Don't worry, princess," Madame Zhao said, "everything has been arranged." This time the turmoil of the Pan family is not to be feared, presumably in the near future, His Royal Highness the King of Chu will also be safe and triumphant. β
Peace and triumph are important, but ......
Pei Yaowei couldn't say what she was thinking now, on the one hand, she hoped that Xiao Di could come back sooner, so that she could be involved with him about everything, but on the other hand, she hoped that he would come back later, so that she could give herself more time to clarify everything in this mess, so as not to meet overnight and be so nervous that she was dumbfounded.
Instant rain came to Zhaoye Temple to visit Mrs. Zhao's mother and daughter. As soon as Mrs. Zhao left the next day, she also said goodbye to Pei Yaowei and returned to the palace first. Without these eyes by his side, Pei Yao suddenly felt refreshed, and the whole person breathed a sigh of relief.
On the third night of her stay in Zhaoye Temple, late at night, the belated Lou Zhen sneaked into her room quietly.
"My subordinates were sent away by me early in the morning." At the table, she sat down in her clothes, lit lamps and candles, and calmly cooked tea, "You don't have to be a thief, if you have anything to say, just say it." β
Lou Zhen has been waiting for today since she received her note with the words 'Zhaoye Temple' written on it. He sat down across from her, not in a hurry to speak, and looked at her quietly for a long time with a meaningful look.
After a long time, Pei Yaowei was a little impatient.
She raised her eyebrows and asked without emotion, "You're just here to 'see' me?" β
The two looked at each other for a moment, and Lou Zhen suddenly smiled and said, "It's not as good as it was in the past." β
After the smile faded, there was nostalgia, longing, and some ...... on his face I don't want her to see the emotion.
Pei Yaowei touched her face and snorted, "I just want to know who gave it to me." β
She looked at Lou Zhen coldly, her eyes full of doubts.
Seeing old friends, there are no tears, and there are no old words, and it is so straightforward to come up, which is somewhat sad.
Lou Zhen was not in a hurry or impatient, and asked slowly: "Do you think that the rebirth of your soul has something to do with me?" β
"I think?" Pei Yao smiled, "No, it's not that I think, it must have something to do with you." β
She said: "That day in Gyeonggi Villa, you called me like that at first sight, obviously you didn't want to hide with me at all, since this was the case that day, today, there is no need to go through the motions of meeting this old friend." β
She poured a cup of tea and pushed him over, "Anyway, what's going on, how much are you going to tell me?" β
Lou Zhen looked at the tea and was silent for a while.
After that, he asked, "What do you want to know?" β
There was so much to know that she didn't know where to start.
For a long time, she gently blew the tea twice, looked elsewhere, and asked him: "How much credit do you have for the way I am now?" β
Lou Zhen thought for a while, and asked instead of answering: "Lu Zhen, reliving this life, are you happy or bored?" β
Pei Yao looked at him and slowly frowned.
"It's not about what I think. It's about whether my second life was calculated from someone else, or whether it was providential. She said, "Lou Zhen, you have to tell me the truth, what do you know?" I'm ...... Is it considered a dove occupying a magpie's nest? β
Lou Zhen shook his head.
He pondered for a moment and said, "It is also providential, and it is also man-made. β
Pei Yao was puzzled: "What do you mean?" β
Lou Zhen smiled faintly.
"I know what you're afraid of." He said, "I can't tell you anything else, but you can rest assured that your situation is closer to resurrecting a corpse than a dove occupying a magpie's nest." Xiang Yu himself, her life is really over, and you don't have a place to live with her. β
