Chapter 51: Biological Parents
Hearing Li You's words to Mei Zijin, Shui Qingqing's heart was not full of taste, mixed tastes, but more of a loss and pain.
After yesterday's events, how could she not understand Mei Zijin's heart for her.
And it is precisely because of this that her heart is sad.
Although she has been married before, she has not experienced the touching feelings between men and women.
Now Mei Zijin suddenly gave her everything, and while giving her an unforgettable feeling of heart palpitations, she was even more intoxicated unconsciously......
But the identity is different, whether she is Shui Qingqing or Sheng Yu, it is impossible to be with him......
Heartache and sadness, Shui Qingqing didn't dare to listen to Mei Zijin's answer, she didn't have the courage to bear any kind of result.
What made her even more uneasy was that the third prince Li You seemed to know everything, and she also knew everything about her and Mei Zijin, which made her more and more embarrassed.
She fled in a hurry, and it was not until she entered the mansion and left their sight that she breathed a heavy sigh of relief, and her tense body slumped, and when she went down the steps, she stumbled under her feet, and the whole person almost fell down, and was held by a big hand.
Nameless, who was walking in front of her on the left, quickly supported her: "Miss Sheng be careful." ”
Shui Qingqing thanked Nameless gratefully, there are many guests in the palace, if Fang just fell here, it would become a joke again.
Nameless eyes swept over her face, and while leading her forward, he said in a deep voice: "Everything has its fate, Miss Sheng doesn't need to worry too much, the most important thing is to live a good life." ”
The nameless words made Shui Qingqing's heart sink, and her chaotic thoughts calmed down-
Yes, her adoptive father and witch woman once taught her that everything has its fixed number in the dark, and she can't control it, so it's better to live a good life as Nameless said.
Thinking of this, Shui Qingqing couldn't help but take a closer look at the third prince Li You's sidekick, and only felt that he had an ordinary appearance, but the whole person had an air of tenacity and integrity, which made people inexplicably trust him......
Under the leadership of Nameless, Shui Qingqing came to the quiet warm pavilion in the apse.
This is a separate banquet specially prepared by the Three Princes' Mansion for the special status of the female dependents to show respect.
But Shui Qingqing didn't know, she just felt that it was very much in line with her to avoid everyone and Princess Leyi.
In this way, she didn't think about it, and pushed open the door of the warm pavilion and went in, only to find that there were already people inside. And this person is the princess Wuning with a green veil face that she saw at the gate of the mansion before.
Even when she entered the house, Princess Wuning's green veil still didn't take off, and she sat in a daze with a green jade teacup in her hand, staring at the door of the warm pavilion with her eyes tight.
After the sound of footsteps sounded at the door, Princess Wuning's body moved, and an elderly aunt beside her gently reached out to support her, and comforted her softly: "Princess, don't worry......"
At this moment, the door was pushed open, Shui Qingqing came in, and when she saw someone in the house, she looked stunned. But after Princess Wuning saw her face, her whole body trembled violently, and the green jade teacup in her hand fell from her hand, and fell to the ground with a 'bang'.
This crisp sound startled Shui Qingqing, who was already stunned, thinking that she had stumbled into it recklessly, startling the princess of Wuning, so frightened that she hurriedly led Xiaoxi to kneel at the door and apologize, and said in a panic: "The concubine entered by mistake and disturbed the princess, and asked the princess to punish ......."
The face under the green veil was pale, and it took a long time for Princess Wuning to get up trembling under the support of her aunt, and came to Shui Qingqing's face, looking at her with eager eyes, and said in a trembling voice: "You...... Know me? ”
Shui Qingqing remembered what the old lady told her, when she went to the banquet, she must not stare at those nobles because of curiosity, this is a violation of etiquette. Therefore, even if she heard Princess Wu Ning ask her like this, Shui Qingqing didn't dare to look up at her without authorization.
She lowered her head and said softly: "Back to the princess's words, the concubine has no chance, and she was able to see the princess today, ...... I've only heard of the princess's name. ”
The sentence 'no fate' made Princess Wuning's heart ache. She suppressed the excitement in her heart, and personally stepped forward to help Shui Qingqing get up, her eyes looked at her up close through the light veil, and the more she looked, the more painful her heart became. The lips moved, and for a while, it was a thousand words and all kinds of tastes, and I didn't know where to start.
Princess Wu Ning's hand was as slender and white as a girl, but it was slightly cool in her hand, and it trembled slightly, which made Shui Qingqing feel strange in her heart.
She thought in her heart that since Princess Wuning was here in this warm pavilion, she could still stay here, so she said: "Princess, the concubine came to the palace for the first time, and she went to the wrong house in ignorance, and the concubine immediately retired. ”
After saying that, after hurriedly saluting, he pulled Xiaoxi to retire to Princess Wuning.
"Wait!"
Seeing that she was leaving, the aunt beside Princess Wuning hurriedly spoke up and said with a smile: "The girl is not wrong. Previously, His Royal Highness said that he was afraid that my princess would be too boring and lonely to stay in this warm pavilion alone, and said that he would find an interesting companion for the princess. Presumably, the girl is the little friend that His Royal Highness found for the princess. ”
After listening to her aunt's words, Shui Qingqing remembered that when she was at the door before, Li You had told her that she would be asked to meet someone when she stayed there. Unexpectedly, the person he let himself see was the mysterious Princess Wuning.
Shui Qingqing thought of what she heard the onlookers say before, and understood it in her heart.
Presumably, it was the princess Wuning's face that was ruined, and it was inconvenient to have a banquet with everyone in the main hall, so the third prince specially arranged this separate warm pavilion for her.
However, who did he pick was not good, why did he let himself accompany this unfamiliar Princess Wuning?
Feeling uneasy in her heart, Shui Qingqing felt even more that there was a strange feeling that could not be explained in her heart.
After listening to the aunt's words, Shui Qingqing couldn't push back anymore, so she had to take Xiaoxi and step forward again to give Princess Wuning a formal salute, and then carefully sat down under her in two positions.
Soon, the New Year's banquet began, and all kinds of delicacies were respectfully sent into the warm pavilion by the servants, even if there were only Princess Wuning and Shui Qingqing here, the table full of precious dishes was a lot, even more exquisite and luxurious than the banquet in the hall outside.
Shui Qingqing, who had settled down, carefully looked at the surrounding furnishings, and found that in the warm pavilion, whether it was jade ornaments or small incense burners, they were all luxurious and exquisite to the extreme, and the dishes on the table were even more unheard of, showing the wealth of the heavenly family.
Fortunately, she stayed in the Hou Mansion for a few months, although the old lady has always admired simplicity, and the dishes at the usual family banquets are much more low-key than today's, but after all, she is a big family in the Hou family, which also opened her eyes. So when I see everything prosperous in front of me, although I am amazed, I will not lose my demeanor.
When Shui Qingqing looked around, Princess Na Wuning, as well as the aunt beside her, kept staring at her.
While arranging vegetables for the princess, the aunt smiled at Shui Qingqing: "I didn't hear the Third Highness talk about the identity of the girl before, but only said that I would find an interesting little friend for our princess to be a companion." The old slave asked for the princess, I don't know who the girl's surname is, and which lady is it? ”
Without waiting for Xiaoxi to speak, Shui Qingqing personally replied to Princess Wuning, and said with half-furrowed eyebrows: "The concubine's maiden name is Sheng, and her father works in the Tai Hospital. I was fortunate enough to marry the eldest prince of Dingguo Mansion a few years ago, but I was blessed in the end......"
Speaking of this, the atmosphere in the warm pavilion unconsciously condensed, and the face of Princess Na Wuning under the green veil was shocked, and even Na Bucai's aunt stopped her chopsticks and looked at Shui Qingqing in shock.
A few years ago, Mei Zichu, the eldest son of the Marquis of Dingguo, died suddenly at the moment before he got married, which shocked the entire capital.
The Chongxi lady who decided to marry the Hou Mansion for him, but after the death of the eldest prince, she insisted on marrying into the Hou Mansion wearing linen, which shocked the entire capital.
Therefore, even a person like Princess Wu Ning, who ignores the world, has heard about it.
I never expected that the woman in front of me was the rumored protagonist......
The hand holding the chopsticks tightened, and Princess Wu Ning said with difficulty: "So now, does the girl stay in her mother's house, or stay in the Hou Mansion?" ”
As if she didn't notice everyone's attention to her, Shui Qingqing said slowly: "Fortunately, Old Madam Hou took pity on me and took me to live in the Hou Mansion, so I stayed in the Hou Mansion from the day I got married......
Princess Wu Ning looked at Shui Qingqing with bright eyes, and her heart was full of doubts and pain, except for looking at her intently, she couldn't say a word.
The aunt gently stroked Wu Ning's back with her hand, and asked Shui Qingqing softly: "Forgive the old slave for being presumptuous, we have still heard of the girl's marriage." Everyone knows that the eldest prince died before the girl entered, since this is the case, according to the rules, the girl's family affairs with the eldest prince are innumerable, so why does the girl stay in the Hou Mansion...... Widowed? ”
In this case, except for Xiaoxi who asked her once before, no one has asked her in person.
It stands to reason that such a private matter, even a painful thing in her heart, this aunt should not ask, and Shui Qingqing does not need to pay attention to it.
But although she couldn't see the face under the veil of Princess Wuning clearly, the aunt in front of her was kind and kind, and her warm eyes contained concern for her, but not curiosity and ridicule, so Shui Qingqing was not disgusted, and said softly: "I know that I am blessed, and after this incident, it is even more difficult to remarry...... I don't want to remarry. Therefore, I took the initiative to ask, asking to stay in the Hou Mansion but survive! ”
Everyone knows that a woman is sad and miserable when she is widowed, so when she heard Shui Qingqing, who was young, say the words 'left but remnant', Princess Wuning's whole body trembled violently, her face under the green veil was as pale as paper, and tears had already rolled down the corners of her eyes.
Feeling the trembling of Princess Wuning's body, her aunt's face couldn't help but show worry, looking at her master, and then at Shui Qingqing, her eyes couldn't help but show a trace of pathos.
And after hearing Shui Qingqing's answer, Xiao Xi, who had been standing silently behind her, looked complicated.
Xiaoxi already knew Shui Qingqing's purpose for entering the Hou Mansion, and she didn't really want to be a widow for the eldest prince, and she was also angry at Shui Qingqing's deception, but the two of them had been supporting each other in the Hou Mansion for a long time, and she knew that Shui Qingqing was a good person and a sister to her, better than her former master, the real Sheng Yu.
Although she didn't know the purpose of Shui Qingqing's entry into the mansion, she had never done anything to be sorry for the Sheng family, nor had she taken the initiative to harm anyone, so Xiaoxi hated her and didn't get up, let alone expose her......
For a moment, the whole room fell into silence.
Shui Qingqing saw that the atmosphere was embarrassing, and was about to leave the warm pavilion with Xiaoxi's farewell, but at this moment, Princess Wuning suddenly remembered something, and her voice was so excited that she trembled: "Aunt Pity, aren't you good at palmistry, why don't you ...... Why don't you help the girl look at the palmistry, and see what the girl's fate will be in the future? ”
As soon as these words came out suddenly, Shui Qingqing and Aunt Lian were slightly stunned.
The next moment, the poor aunt came back to her senses and smiled at Shui Qingqing: "If the princess doesn't say it, the old slave has forgotten." The old slave had learned physiognomy from the sister-in-law in the temple for a few days before, and the right to be bored was bored, so it didn't hurt to help the girl take a look. ”
Princess Wu Ning personally opened her mouth and asked her aunt to read her palms for her, and Shui Qingqing had a reason to refuse. So he stretched out his left hand to Aunt Pian.
From the moment Shui Qingqing stretched out her hand, Princess Wu Ning's whole body was tense and tense, her heart was so excited that she was about to jump out, and her eyes were full of tears.
Aunt Pian's eyes swept over Shui Qingqing's smooth left wrist without a trace, and said with a smile: "Male left and female right, women need their right hand to look at palmistry, please change the girl's right hand to show the old slave." ”
According to the words, Shui Qingqing withdrew her left hand and handed her right hand to Aunt Pian.
Her hand on the table was slightly raised, and the sleeve of her dress was half down, revealing her wrist — and the three cinnabar moles on her wrist side by side.
"Woo......"
A cry suddenly sounded in the quiet warm pavilion!
The moment she saw the cinnabar mole on Shui Qingqing's wrist, Princess Wuning's heart froze, and she couldn't hold back the grief and excitement in her heart anymore, covering her heart with her hands and crying out in grief.
The sudden change made Shui Qingqing's master and servant stunned, and Aunt Lian heard Princess Wuning's cry, and couldn't care about helping Shui Qingqing look at palmistry anymore, so she turned around and hugged Princess Wuning's trembling body into her arms, her eyes were full of tears, and she persuaded repeatedly: "Princess, don't worry...... Be careful of heart disease and take care of your body! ”
After that, he hurriedly ordered the others to hurry up and get the medicine.
For a while, the other maids and servants also immediately rushed forward, those who took the medicine took the medicine, and those who handed the water handed the water, and the small warm pavilion was busy.
At this moment, the door of the warm pavilion was opened, and the third prince Li You came in, and when he saw the scene in the house, his face changed greatly.
Aunt Pian hurriedly gave him a look, Li You's expression was frozen, and she immediately came back to her senses, and apologized to Shui Qingqing, who was stunned on the side: "I'm really sorry, my aunt suddenly had a heart attack, which scared the girl." The palace sent the nameless girl back first, and then apologized to the girl another day. ”
The third prince and Princess Wuning are both extremely noble people, Shui Qingqing can afford his words, not to mention, Princess Wuning's sudden illness is also accidental, and staying here will only get in the way, so he hurriedly retreated with Xiaoxi.
Behind her, Princess Wuning, who was in pain like a tearing heart, looked at Shui Qingqing with her eyes from beginning to end, her face was already full of tears, and her tears were wet with green yarn......
Outside the warm pavilion, the nameless stood quietly and waited, seeing Shui Qingqing's master and servant come out, his eyes swept indifferently from Shui Qingqing's frightened pale face, and said in a deep voice: "The princess's heart disease is a stubborn disease, although it is not cured for a long time, it will not endanger her life for the time being, the girl does not have to worry." ”
The nameless words once again made Shui Qingqing look at this unknown attendant differently, and couldn't help but say, "Thank you for telling the nameless brother." ”
Hearing her call her eldest brother, although she knew that it was just a customary title, it made Nameless feel stunned, and said: "Master Hou seems to be looking for a girl in the front hall before, is the girl going to see him?" ”
Hearing that Mei Zijin was looking for herself, Shui Qingqing panicked and said, "The banquet is not over yet, Master Hou is afraid that there are still a lot of entertainment and wine to drink, so I won't bother him and go back to the house first." ”
Hearing this, Nameless stopped saying anything, and led them out of the house.
When passing through the front hall, Shui Qingqing saw Bai Xiang coming to their way with a depressed face, it seemed that Princess Wuning had a heart attack, and the next person informed Bai Xiang, and he rushed to visit the warm pavilion.
When the two passed by, Shui Qingqing led Xiaoxi to retreat to the side of the road, bowed her head and let Bai Xiang pass first.
Bai Haoqing couldn't help but be surprised when he saw the woman who was retreating to the side of the road, accompanied by Nameless, the closest and most powerful first guard by the side of the third prince, and couldn't help but look at Shui Qingqing twice.
At this glance, Bai Haoqing's expression was slightly stunned, and doubts flashed between his elegant and majestic faces, and he always felt that the woman in front of him was as elegant as an orchid, and even such a scene, where did he seem to have seen it?
Before Bai Haoqing could figure it out, Shui Qingqing had already left behind the nameless.
Bai Haoqing turned his head, looked at the figure of the departing woman with bright eyes, and couldn't help but have doubts in his heart-
Judging by the direction of her journey, it should be from the warm pavilion.
So, which woman of the family actually has such a face, and the banquet set up is not with everyone, but is personally led and taken care of by Nameless, and it is so valued by the three princes!
But now is not the time for him to think about this, thinking that the next person just came to report that the princess had a heart attack in the warm pavilion, although Bai Haoqing had a trace of impatience in his heart, but this is the third prince's mansion, and it can be regarded as half of Princess Wuning's maiden family, Bai Haoqing did not dare to slack off, so he had to walk towards the warm pavilion quickly......
In the warm pavilion, as soon as Shui Qingqing left, Princess Wu Ning finally lifted the green veil covering her face, revealing the terrifying scar on her face.
Seeing this, Li You showed a heart-wrenching look on her face, stepped forward to support Princess Wuning, and asked Aunt Lian on the side: "Aunt is fine, why did she suddenly have a heart attack?" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he had already thought of something, his face changed greatly, and he said in surprise: "Could it be that she is really ......?"
Aunt Pian waved her hand to let the other maids withdraw, and only the three of them were left in the warm pavilion.
Regardless of the suffocating pain in her heart, Princess Wuning looked up at Li You sadly, tears rolling down like beads of broken threads, and she was so excited and sad that she couldn't help herself.
"She is obviously my daughter, how could she become the daughter of the Sheng family...... also became a poor Chongxi lady, who died of her husband halfway through marriage, and was widowed at a young age but was disabled...... My son, she's alive and well, but I don't know anything about it......"
It turned out that at the 100-day banquet of Yun'er, the third prince Li You was ordered to go to the Hou Mansion to issue an edict, and saw Shui Qingqing, and after a closer look, he found that she was not only the foreign girl he accidentally hit by the carriage before, but also almost exactly the same as the appearance on the portrait of his aunt before he was disfigured and Girls' Generation when he went back to Wujing Mansion to visit his aunt Princess Wuning in the study not long ago......
At that time, something strange was born in his heart, and he felt that things were not so simple as a coincidence.
Because Li You knew that his ill-fated aunt had a daughter nineteen years ago, but her little cousin died early soon after she was born.
My aunt was so grief-stricken that she never conceived a child since, and she suffered from heart disease due to excessive sadness......
Li You thought that when her carriage hit Shui Qingqing, she heard her mention that she had come to the capital to look for relatives, so Li You was even more suspicious in her heart, she was the daughter of her aunt and Princess Wuning, who died young.
But just because of the similar appearance of the two, Li You didn't dare to agree without permission, so he specially invited Shui Qingqing to attend the annual banquet of the palace, and arranged for her and her aunt to meet alone here in the warm pavilion......
And Li You was worried that Princess Wuning's heart disease would not be stimulated, so she had revealed a little information to her in advance, so that she still had a certain psychological preparation, but she didn't expect that after seeing Shui Qingqing, Princess Wuning still had a heart disease because of excitement and grief......
As soon as she finished speaking, Princess Wuning cried to death, on the one hand, she was happy to learn that her daughter was still alive, but on the other hand, she was sad and sad after learning what happened to Shui Qingqing, and blamed herself for regret......
After listening to Princess Wuning's words, although Li You was already prepared in her heart, she was still shocked and couldn't believe it: "Is she really the little cousin that my aunt gave birth to back then?" It's just that after many years, how did my aunt recognize her? ”
Princess Wuning was so excited and sad that she couldn't speak, and Aunt Lian on the side replied for her: "Your Highness boldly guessed that this girl is the little princess just because she has seen the portrait of the princess when she was young. And the old slave grew up with the princess since she was a child, of course, she remembers her previous appearance even more, and the princess herself will not forget, so the moment she entered the door, looking at her and the princess carved out of a mold, it was already eight or nine years old. ”
"After that, the princess pretended to let the old slave read her palms for her, and saw the three cinnabar moles on her right wrist, so it would not be wrong - because the cinnabar moles on her hands were exactly the same as those of the little county lord back then, and they were exactly the same!"
"Yes, you can't be wrong...... When my son was born, he had three cinnabar moles on his right wrist, exactly like hers, and there was absolutely no mistake about hers - she was my daughter! ”
Princess Wuning, who took a breath, was full of Shui Qingqing's appearance in front of her, but when she thought of the suffering she had suffered, her heart was heartbreaking, and she couldn't wait to go out and recognize her immediately.
After listening to the words of Aunt Pian and Princess Wu Ning, Li You had no hesitation in his heart, but new doubts rose in his heart-
Since she is really not Sheng Yu, why did she want to marry into the Hou Mansion instead of Sheng Yu in the first place, and she insisted on staying in the Hou Mansion and was unwilling to leave?
At this moment, there was a sound of prayer outside the door, but it was Bai Xiang.
Hearing that Bai Haoqing was coming, Aunt Lian said worriedly: "Princess, Your Highness, do you want to tell Xiangye the news that the county lord is still alive?" ”
Princess Wu Ning's mind was messy, so excited that she couldn't do it herself, she couldn't be the master at all, Aunt Pian had to look at Li You, hoping that he could help with an idea.
Li You's heart was also very confused, he looked at Princess Wuning with tears on her face, and said in a deep voice: "Before the matter is completely clarified, I don't think I want Bai Xiangye to know for the time being, what does my aunt think?" ”
Thinking of Shui Qingqing's sensitive and complicated identity now, as well as those questions about her, Li You suggested that Princess Wuning hide this matter for the time being, and not let Bai Haoqing know.
Princess Wu Ning trembled and grabbed the green yarn on the table and put it back on, covering the scars and tears on her face, and said sadly: "In his heart, how can he still remember his concubine?!" Don't tell him, everything is what I owe my daughter......"
However, Shui Qingqing, who didn't know anything about all this and was thinking about her own thoughts, didn't know that the noble princess she had just seen and the power minister she met on the road were her biological father and mother who had traveled thousands of miles from the Western Desert back to the capital to find her......
When leaving the palace, passing by Mei Zijin's carriage, she stagnated in her steps, and turned around to say a few words to Xiaoxi.
Hearing this, Xiaoxi's face showed surprise, but she did what she said.
Sitting in the carriage, the coachman drove all the way forward according to the place Shui Qingqing said.
In the carriage, Xiaoxi looked at Shui Qingqing with a resolute face worriedly, and hesitated: "What is Miss going to do?" ”
Shui Qingqing smiled bitterly, pressed the sadness in her heart and said slowly: "There are some things, rather than waiting for it to come and roll up stormy waves, it is better to put an end to it in advance and avoid disasters!" ”
For example, the entanglement between her and Mei Zijin should not have happened......
