Chapter Seventy-Seven: Meeting

After noon, Xiaodong is always used to take a nap, and this habit can be said to be thunderous. Every time she was half a mile younger, Hongfu re-combed her hair and said with a smile: "The old lady is really a good person to get along with, and our previous worries were in vain." ”

"yes." Xiao Dong played with the comb and smiled: "But she is not old at all......

"Exactly, I was shocked when I saw it, not like my aunt's mother, but like my aunt's sister."

The little maid outside came in, curtsied, and whispered, "Madam, my aunt and grandmother are here." ”

Because of Yao Jinfeng's identity, it's good that she is the goddaughter of the Qin family, but people can't call her godaunt, right? My aunt and grandmother are not wrong.

"Ah, please let her in."

Yao Jinfeng's face was red, and there were shiny beads of sweat on his forehead. Xiao Dong asked in surprise, "Where did you come from?" ”

Yao Jinfeng sat down and did not speak. Hongfu didn't make a hairpin for Xiaodong: "I boiled sour plum soup at noon, and I went to serve it to my wife and aunt to relieve the heat." ”

As soon as Hongfu went out, Yao Jinfeng moved to Xiao Dong's side, took her hand, and whispered, "I...... I saw him just now. ”

Who is he? Who is he?

Do you need to ask?

Xiao Dong was slightly surprised: "Where is it?" ”

"I just went out...... she took a deep breath, "When we went back to the house the day before yesterday, someone handed me a note at the door......"

Xiao Dong frowned: "You're so confused, how do you know who handed this note?" ”

"I know his words. Also, there are markings on it that we used before, and the others won't know about it. ”

"Then you're going to see him?"

"Well, it's in the teahouse on the back street."

What is this? Chop before play?

Or is it frank and lenient?

"That'...... What did you say? ”

"I didn't say anything about it. It was since that incident at the observatory that I never met him again. If so, it should be made clear. Her fingers fiddled with an ivory rouge box and whispered, "He has already married and had children, and I am married." Think back to what happened back then...... It's like in the previous life. After a cup of tea, I came back. ”

The room was quiet.

Xiao Dong thought that Yao Jinfeng just needed someone to talk to.

Some things may have been stored in my heart for a long time. Maybe when she says it, she will feel relaxed and relieved, and she can really let go of this past.

She looked at the ivory rouge box, her fingertips tracing the carved patterns on it.

"In the beginning, I didn't care who he was, and until the end, I didn't care. It doesn't matter if he's a prince or a commoner, I just know that he likes me and I like him. In Rosewood, that's all that matters. But when everyone around you is against it, only you insist on it, it's useless. I always thought he and I would always be good, but he was going to marry someone else......"

Hongfu's sour plum soup probably couldn't be served for a while, so Xiaodong poured a cup of tea for Yao Jinfeng. She took two sips, clutched her glass tightly, and continued: "I didn't mean to, even if he was going to marry someone else, I wouldn't want to kill him. There used to be a few times when I had an argument, and he handed me something to please me, and I threw it on him—but at that time, I had a knife in my hand...... His blood was on my hands, hot, sticky......" She raised her hand and looked at her fingers seriously, as if they were still stained with unwashed blood: "I was going to be stupid then, I was locked up in a room all the time, there was no light, no sound was heard, and no one came. I kept thinking that if he died, I would die with him...... We can be companions on the way to Huangquan, and I have to tell him that I don't want to kill him...... It's really that point, I don't know what he's going to say to me? Does he blame me? Or ......"

Xiao Dong listened to her quietly.

"As a result, I didn't see him until I left the capital. The prince asked Qin Lie to send me away, go far away, it's best not to return to the capital again in this life. Qin Lie told me that he was not dead. At that time, I begged him to let me come back to the capital, and I only needed to see him again and say a few words to him......"

As a result, there have been so many years, and things are wrong.

"So, he didn't say anything?"

"That's it. He said he knew I wasn't intentional and he didn't blame me. Knowing that I was doing well, he was relieved. He also mentioned his son, and I told him that I also had a child, two nephews and a niece...... Others, nothing else. ”

Nothing else?

Since there are other three words, there should be something, not nothing.

Xiao Dong didn't ask any more, but asked, "By the way, when will the one in your family arrive in the capital?" Did he come alone, or did he bring all three of your family's demon kings? ”

"He said that the matter at hand will take almost half a month, and if you do the math, you should be halfway now."

"Well, I've only heard Qin Lie mention it, and I don't know what kind of person he is."

Yao Jinfeng smiled: "You don't have to go around in circles, I know what you mean." ”

was blocked by her, and Xiao Dong didn't feel anything. Anyway, she knew that Yao Jinfeng had this temper.

"Don't worry, I won't do anything more. I liked him back then, but that's all in the past. Before I married Wan He, I had already told him about it, and he didn't know it. He is the person I pretend to be in my heart now, so I married him. I can't do this kind of thing half-heartedly. ”

That's good.

But if there is anything, Xiaodong still has to say it.

"You don't want to see him again. And...... It's best to leave the capital early and go back to Suizhou. ”

Yao Jinfeng looked at her, and Xiao Dong patiently explained: "You have also heard about King Jingjun and the second prince plotting against each other, right?" ”

"I know, alas, are all the people in Jingjun Wangfu ...... What's the name of that little girl who is very good with you? How is she? ”

"She got married, and she was in Pingzhou, not far from Suizhou." Xiao Dong said: "Since the second prince has been bad, I don't know how many pairs of eyes have been staring at the third prince. The emperor has no adult son next to him, he is not only a sister-in-law, but also the eldest son. I don't need to tell me how important his position is, right? Not to mention that he came to the teahouse to meet you, I'm afraid that someone will count how many hairs he loses every day. You also said that those people and those things are over, and you must not get involved in them again. ”

Yao Jinfeng nodded slowly: "I know......"

Xiao Dong didn't talk to her in detail.

In fact, she doesn't understand the current situation very well. The three princes and the three princesses can be regarded as a model couple, the three princes have no concubines around them, and everyone in Beijing praises his conduct, which is really upright and virtuous - they are all a little too upright. Even the queen wanted to put the daughter of the Li family next to the third prince, but he refused, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law between the mother and son were still a lot of idle for this. The queen couldn't help her son, so she took out her anger at her daughter-in-law, thinking that she was jealous and poisonous. The third princess Wu is not soft persimmon, although she can't contradict the queen, but the queen has been provoked several times and has not been able to do anything to her. Wu's father, although the Taozhou town guard has been semi-retired, he is still there, and Wu has a son.

Later, it was the emperor who came forward to put this matter on hold for the time being.

But it certainly can't be done like that.

In order to consolidate her own power, as well as her own future status, the queen is bound to make great strides on the road of her relatives, even if it is the relationship between husband and wife, father and son, put it on the balance of power, and there is no need to ask.

And the side of the third princess, Concubine Wu, is now a relative. The dispute between the relatives of the old generation and the relatives of the new generation has faintly begun. The queen chose a good daughter-in-law for herself, and now she has seen the results - the two can be regarded as rivals when they fight.

Therefore, Yao Jinfeng must not be stirred into this troubled water. It didn't matter which of the two sides, reaching out his little finger could crush her to pieces.

Yao Jinfeng himself should have understood. Under the imperial power, what can the private relationship of children be counted?

Sending Yao Jinfeng away, Xiao Dong was not calm in his heart.

She thought of Yao Qingyuan.

Her mother is not a poor woman under the imperial power. Love? What is love? It's not worth it at all...... It's not worth it.

However, how Yao Qingyuan married King An later, Xiao Dong never asked in detail. In the past, I was afraid of making King An sad, but the more I knew, the more I wouldn't ask, because there were too many things involved, too complicated and too heavy.

Hongfu was late with the sour plum soup. Xiao Dongbai glanced at her: "You just bought rock sugar and sour plum to cook soup, and you should have come back a long time ago." ”

Hongfu knew that she was not really angry, and said with a smile: "This can be regarded as boiling until the fire, you can taste it." ”

The crimson sour plum soup is served in a glass bowl, and the outer edge of the bowl gradually condenses with mist, and then turns into fine small droplets. Xiao Dong tasted half a bowl and didn't dare to drink too much.

"What did my aunt say when she came over?"

Xiao Dong just shook his head, and Hongfu would come to his senses and stop asking. The remaining half bowl of sour plum soup was placed on the table, and the water droplets on the bowl gradually pooled together and flowed down, accumulating a small puddle on the table.

I hope this matter will pass soon, and there will be no more extraneous complications.

Although Xiao Dong wanted to stay with the Qin family and Yao Jinfeng for more, since he had this matter, it was better to send Yao Jinfeng away as soon as possible. There is a reason why a beautiful woman is called a curse. She herself has no harmful thoughts, but every right and wrong is born because of her.

Is it her fault? Is it the fault of beauty? Or is it love's fault? Or is it the fault of the imperial power?

Xiao Dong shook his head.
