Chapter 96: Summoned (Third Watch)
At the banquet in the evening, the prince and princess still appeared with a smile on their faces, as if nothing had happened. It seems that everyone is the best actor and is forced to perform various plays on their own stage.
In the theater, the stage illuminated by the lights is as bright as day. The actors were inspired by the daytime, so the evening performance was more relaxed. In addition, it is a new repertoire, which is very fresh, so the audience, whether men, women and children, broke out into warm applause and enthusiastic applause. Although it was the first time for the two actresses to act, they were also very relaxed because the atmosphere was very good. The performance is very good.
After the end of the play, all the actors came to the stage to pay tribute to the guests, and said the words that had been rehearsed to congratulate the princess on her birthday, which pushed the atmosphere of today's birthday to the most. Although the princess's interest was not as good as that of the day, seeing such a high atmosphere, the boredom in her heart was reduced. Happy, he announced a reward of 50 taels of silver, the actors were crazy, and the palace rewarded twice, what a great honor this is!
Soon, a well-dressed maid found A-Xing, saying that the princess wanted to see her and received the reward by the way.
The actors were very excited, and they looked at Ah Xing with sparkling eyes, as if they were very envious that she could be summoned by the princess. Ah Xing explained to Ling Zifeng, and then followed the maid.
The maid carried a faint yellow lantern, and took A-Xing to turn left and right in the dark, and soon came to a large compound.
There is a lantern hanging in front of the courtyard, and the flickering lights slightly illuminate the surrounding environment, and the thick black shadow of the courtyard mansion can be faintly seen.
A carved paper window in the mansion revealed a dim candlelight, and in the candlelight there was the silhouette of a woman with a hairpin ring on her head. Lonely, it makes people feel endlessly lonely and desolate.
The maid said to Ah Xing: "You wait here now, I'll go and report it." Then she walked outside the curtain and said inside: "Princess, Miss A-Xing brings it!" ”
It seems that within a day, all the people in the palace knew Ah Xing's name.
"Bring her in." There is a sense of vicissitudes in the voice, it is indeed the voice of the princess.
A Xing entered the house under the leadership of the maid, the yellow candlelight dyed the room with a layer of gloomy color, and the princess sat in this gloom, if the snow concubine is the bright morning sun, then the princess gives people a sense of heavy twilight.
According to the rules, Ah Xing kowtowed to the princess. The princess said lightly: "Excuse me." A-Xing stood up and stood aside with her head down.
The princess asked the maid to take out the prepared silver ticket to Ah Xing, and said, "Originally, I was waiting for you to leave with Xiyin to give it to you, but this concubine was really curious about you and wanted to meet you alone and talk to you, so I simply gave it to you." ”
Ah Xing said respectfully: "Thank you princess for the reward." ”
The princess smiled faintly: "It's your good play, you deserve such a reward." ”
"Thank you for the compliment."
The princess took the decoction handed over by the maid beside her, took a sip gently, frowned, put it on the table, and said, "This imperial doctor's prescription is not necessarily useful, this concubine has been drinking for a long time, but she still can't sleep well." ”
The maid beside her said, "Princess, this imperial doctor is already the best imperial doctor in the palace." ”
The princess sighed and shook her head, "It's useless, it's useless. ”
There was a palpable depression in his tone.
Ah Xing raised her head and said softly: "Princess, if you can't sleep well, you might as well try drinking a glass of milk before going to bed, it is said that this will help you sleep." ”
The maid next to her asked, "Is goat's milk OK?" Does this work? ”
Ah Xing smiled lightly: "Yes." The folk girl also heard what people said, and it seems to be a little useful. ”
The princess said, "Let's give it a try!" The maid nodded, said to the princess, and then withdrew on her own and went to find goat's milk.
The princess looked at A Xing, saw that the other party's face was soft, and looked very comfortable, although this woman was born beautiful, but what attracted attention was not only her appearance, but also her special temperament, just like now, although she stood in front of you respectfully, but you couldn't find any humility from her, although she lowered her head, but her waist was straight, and her eyes were clear and bright, soft and indifferent. Looking at it makes people feel a sense of peace and tranquility in their hearts.
The princess came to her today, and wanted to warn her fiercely, but today after she heard from Hu Yaqing that Shen Yuanfeng was walking with a woman, she asked the maid to inquire, and only then did she know that Shen Yuanfeng was with Ah Xing. At that time, she had completely regarded Ah Xing as a fox in her heart, and she hooked up with Yuanfeng after a while, if Yuanfeng was her son, she dared to be involved with a drama in the palace, she had already asked someone to beat the drama to death, but since it was Yuanfeng, she didn't need to do this thankless thing.
Today, Yuanfeng's tough refusal to marry, although she doesn't know what the reason is, but vaguely, she feels that she can't get rid of this A Xing. Yuanfeng never mentioned her in a word, perhaps he just wanted to protect this woman. So for the sake of her niece's relatives, she brought Ah Xing here, wanting to warn her to be honest and not to play any tricks, the palace is not a place where a woman like her can make up her mind.
But looking at Ah Xing's gaze and talking to her like this, I really can't find the slightest bit of foxy characteristics in her. On the contrary, such a A-Xing makes her feel very comfortable. A lot of things happened today that made her mood very low, and she even had an urge to talk to her more.
"It must be very hard for a woman to be in charge of a theater. You're so young, but you're forcing yourself to show yourself. It's not easy. But it is precisely because of this that we must be more cautious in our words and deeds! Do you know that today someone saw you and Yuanfeng intimately together. ”
Ah Xing raised her head and looked at the princess: "Princess, the third prince just took me to see Concubine Xue, the word 'intimate' is really unspeakable." ”
The princess nodded, "I believe in you!" It's just A-Xing, people can say that you are this kind of identity, if you are not cautious and careful, you will be branded as inappropriate and charming at any time, once a woman is marked with these marks, she will not want to find a good family in this life! Ah Xing, Concubine Ben likes to watch your dramas very much, and I like you very much, and Concubine Ben also knows that you won't have that kind of unrealistic idea, after all, this is the palace, not all women can come in, Concubine Ben knows that you must understand this, so she will remind you. ”
Although the princess is indeed reminded, she has always been used to being high-minded, and she never cares about the other party's mood when talking to the people below, coupled with the world, it is inevitable that ordinary women with noble status will look down on women who come out and show their heads, so there are thorns in her words, which makes Ah Xing feel very uncomfortable.
Ah Xing lowered her eyes and said softly: "What the princess meant, Ah Xing understands." A-Xing knows what to do. "It's really too much to do with Shen Yuanfeng, if you can't meet what he wants, don't continue to communicate, after all, in this world, there can't be the kind of relationship between men and women who "can't become lovers but can become friends".
The princess was very satisfied with her answer, nodded, and said, "It's good that you understand." Well, it's late at night, so you can go down too. ”
After Ah Xing gave the princess luggage, she slowly withdrew from the house.
Three watches, ask for pink tickets!
