XVI. Marriage III

Mrs. Yang punished two mouthy palace maids one after another, one was beaten with twenty canes, and now he can't get up on the bed, and the other rushed directly to the next three doors to do laundry. But her iron fist only intimidates people up and down in the Taiping Palace, and she is powerless outside the Taiping Palace.

The saying of the solid prince "Ke Mu Ke Wife" spread far and wide, and it was spreading. Even the matter of the palace maid who was sent to the Defu Palace before and died of a violent illness was also linked to this matter.

What those palace maids were sent to the Taiping Palace for, fools know. Inside and outside the palace, people whispered. As long as the woman who is involved with the prince of Gu will definitely encounter misfortune.

But in the Taiping Palace, there was an eerie tranquility. No one spoke loudly, no one laughed, even the cicadas on the trees were glued away one by one, and the past summer was so dull that it made people want to go crazy.

Ah Fu didn't like summer too much later, probably because, in this era without air conditioning and refrigerators, she had another reason to hate summer.

Silence, dreary.

Vitality and hydration evaporate from the body.

Jia Hui was sick, Xing'er also had a stomach for several days, and Mrs. Yang had a gloomy face all day long......

Ah Fu sighed, took out the herbal tea from the ice cage, and poured a cup. The turquoise brown color reflects the mutton fat jade cup, and the carvings on it reveal a watery color from the inside out. After a short time, the cup was covered with a layer of fine mist-like droplets.

Ah Fu lifted the curtain and brought tea in.

Prince Gu turned his head: "Ah Fu? ”

"Your Highness, let's have a cup of tea to relieve the heat. It's autumn, and it's still so hot. ”

Gu Huangzi didn't reach out to take it, Ah Fu put down the tray and brought the tea to Gu Huangzi.

"Let's leave it there for now."

Ah Fu put the tea on the desk. Gu Huangzi's fingers slowly wandered on the engraved bamboo book. This bamboo book was newly sent by the third princess, saying that it was for the pastime of Prince Gu. Maybe the third princess's mind is more meticulous than others. Ah Fu once tried to read it, the handwriting on the bamboo piece is beautiful and beautiful, it should be written by the third princess herself and ordered someone to engrave it.

The above story, Ah Fu seems to be familiar. It's just a replacement of the chronological background.

Ah Fu has no doubt at all now that the third princess is indeed from the same world as himself.

Ah Fu swept over the bamboo piece that Gu Huangzi was reading.

…… Do not stand at my grave and weep, I am not there, I have no long sleep......

Prince Gu whispered, "Have you seen these? ”

Ah Fu paused: "This is a new gift from the third princess, right?" ”

"Well, that's interesting. You read it. ”

Ah Fu answered and picked up the bamboo piece.

“…… When you wake up in the quiet morning, I am a bird flying neatly,

I am the night twinkle is the star.

Don't stand at my grave and weep, I'm not there. ”

The mind of the third princess is really different from others.

Others avoided mentioning things, but she was so upright, wrote them down, and sent them over.

Life, and death.

It's an age-old problem.

In fact, Ah Fu felt that the third princess's approach was stronger than that of Mrs. Yang.

The wound is covered and does not heal.

If the pus and blood are pulled out and bandaged with medicine, this should be the correct disposal.

Those whispers outside, Prince Gu will not be unaware.

The words "Ke Wife" may not make him so painful.

But what about the "grams"?

In this era, when a woman gives birth, it is a matter of stepping into the ghost gate...... Ah Fu knows how much Prince Gu admires and misses his mother who has died early.

How deep his desire for family affection is, how deeply the word Kemu hurts him.

"Ah Fu, where do people go after they die?"

"Your Highness, we will only know about this until the day it comes to an end."

After a while, Prince Gu put the bamboo pieces together, and Ah Fu put them in the box.

The herbal tea is no longer cold, Gu Huangzi picked up the tea and didn't drink it, lowered his head slightly and smelled the tea.

There are some things that you can probably only figure out by yourself. The words of relief, the Queen Mother, Mrs. Yang did not say much, but whether she could listen to it or not, that was the matter of the parties themselves.

"Open the window."

Ah Fu walked over and opened all the windows, and the curtains were lowered and pressed.

"Get out for a walk."

Ah Fu was stunned, hurriedly answered, and when he turned around to instruct the people outside, Prince Gu said, "Don't call them, go out from behind." ”

“…… Be. ”

Ah Fu only went to the back garden twice to clean up, and never came again. There are no flowers planted here, and the trees are extremely tall and shaded, which is completely different from the brightness and rigor of the front hall.

"I didn't expect that there would be such a place in the Taiping Palace."

"Haven't been?"

"Well, when I first came, I cleaned the courtyard and tidied up the trees, but I didn't have any orders here, so I didn't come. Later, I worked as an errand every day, and I didn't have time to look around. ”

"I haven't been here for a while. In the past, not only Wei Su, but also his brother Wei Qi, the three of us were always in one place. Later, Wei Qicheng personally conferred the official and never came again. After Wei Su, he probably won't be able to come often...... Look at the wall over there, is there a weapon? ”

Ah Fu turned his head, and in the pavilion against the rockery, there were several weapons, knives and swords, as well as halberds and spears.

"Bring me that sword."

Ah Fu responded, a little puzzled in his heart.

The sword was extremely heavy, Ah Fu was stunned for a moment, and looked carefully, the scabbard was not leather, it looked like it was either copper or iron, a long sword, Ah Fu lifted it up, took a step back, and felt top-heavy.

"Can't you take it?"

"Here we are."

Ah Fu was a little struggling to hold it with both hands, so he simply hugged it and hugged the sword like this.

"Is this one that Your Highness wants?"

Prince Gu reached over and gently lifted the sword with one hand.

"Back then, there were three of us, Wei Su practiced guns, and Wei Qi practiced knives. The master said that I was weak and asked me to practice swordsmanship. Speaking of which, after practicing martial arts, I really rarely get sick, and I usually feel much thinner and healthier. ”

Ah Fu didn't expect that Prince Gu looked like a weak scholar, but this was not the case inside!

This, Ah Fu has never served Prince Gu in the bath, I don't know if he is as thin as his face.

Gu Huangzi gently stroked the hilt of the sword, and when he touched the long silk spike of the drooping hilt, his hand paused slightly.

"The three of us studied martial arts together, Wei Su didn't work hard enough, I just wanted to strengthen my body, Wei Qi was stronger than both of us, but in the end, when we practiced martial arts together, I ...... Blind and inconvenient, he was injured by mistake. He nursed his wound for half a month, and then he got married and never came again. I think he might be a little bit to blame me. ”

"Didn't Your Highness ask him what he meant?"

"No...... Wei Su said that he didn't hold a grudge against it, and I think he still minded. Otherwise, it won't come again and again. ”

"Didn't His Highness invite him again?"

Prince Gu shook his head gently.

"Your Highness, sometimes we speculate on each other's intentions with our own thoughts, often in the opposite direction, and completely think of two forks in the road."

Prince Gu stood with his sword in his hand for a while, and asked Ah Fu to put the sword back in its place.

"Ah Fu, do you want to go out for a walk?"

"Where does Your Highness want to go? Do you want to prepare? ”

"I'm talking about, going further afield."

Ah Fu's footsteps stopped: "Your Highness is saying, out of the palace?" ”

Ah Xin said, this world is very big. There are many people in the world. Sometimes we feel that the troubles in our hearts and around us are as big as the sky. In fact, if you go to another place to take a look and listen, maybe these troubles will be like catkins, fluttering and dissipating. I think she has a point. I've been guessing Wei Qi's thoughts, in fact, I should have asked him in person, and apologized to him for hurting him by mistake. ”

Ah Fu just nodded, and then remembered that he nodded that the prince couldn't see, and asked, "Does Your Highness want to go now?" ”

I suddenly felt much more relaxed. Gu Huangzi didn't dissipate depression as she thought, which was better than anything else. Even if he just wants to visit his old friends, even if he wants to go further away to do more things, Ah Fu just wants to applaud.

The death of his mother and the death of Miss He and Miss Sima were not his responsibility, and no one had the qualifications to cut this off as his sin and let him bear it. Not even if it was himself.
