Chapter 167: Serving Lord Ding
The dazzling sunlight of the early morning shone through the window, shining right on Hui Xiuyuan's face. Feeling the warmth of the sun, a light smile rose into her lips, and she turned around and groped for the position next to her as if tentatively.
The coldness seeped into her body along her fingertips, making her shiver. She opened her eyes and looked at the empty place beside her, and there was sadness in her eyes that could not be dissolved.
If it weren't for the little marks on her body that reminded her of the truth of everything last night, she really thought it was just a dream.
Hui Xiuyuan looked at the pomegranate flowers on the table in a daze, after a night of baptism, the flowers were not so gorgeous, and the smell disappeared with the wind.
She reached out and took her undershirt and put it on, covering the imprint on her body that caused people to reverie, and called out loudly: "Someone! ”
The palace maid who had been waiting at the door for a long time pushed the door and walked in quickly, she hung up the veil and asked softly, "Niangniang woke up, do you want to freshen up?" ”
Hui Xiuyuan didn't answer her words, but instead asked, "What time is it?" ”
The palace maid bowed her head and replied respectfully: "Niangniang is now in her prime. ”
When Hui Xiuyuan heard this answer, she was shocked, she frowned and said, "It's past the time to say hello to the queen's mother?" Why don't you wake up the position? ”
Seeing that she was a little panicked, the palace maid hurriedly explained: "If you go back to the mother, the queen mother has committed an old illness this morning, so she will be exempted from the palace masters' greetings today." The slave saw that Niangniang slept very well today, and she couldn't bear to wake Niangniang. ”
Hui Xiuyuan stabilized her mind, afraid that last night's incident disturbed her mind and made her think rationally.
She held her forehead with her hand and sighed heavily, "Okay, I want to take a bath, you go down and prepare." ”
"Yes." The palace maid always felt that her mother was a little strange today, but she couldn't say it, so she had to retreat.
In the Qingliang Palace, Baoqin knelt on the ground with a frightened face, looking at Concubine Zhang Xian, who was sitting on the top with an impatient face, "Niangniang! What the hell did the slave do wrong! The slave knows that she is wrong! Ask the maid not to let the slave leave the maid. ”
Concubine Zhang Xian scooped the soup in the bowl with a soup spoon in her hand, her eyes seemed to be a little reluctant, she glanced at Baoqin, and said lightly: "You can serve Lord Ding, it is a blessing that you have cultivated in this life." ”
"!"
Baoqin wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Concubine Zhang Xian's scolding: "Don't say it again!" ”
She rubbed her temples with her fingers, she thought that she would tell Baoqin about it, but who knew that she couldn't see things clearly. Her last trace of patience was also worn out by her, and she said with some annoyance: "This matter has been decided, it is useless to say anything!" ”
Lai Shun's worried eyes swirled back and forth between Baoqin and Concubine Zhang Xian, he never imagined that Concubine Xian would actually give Baoqin's sister to Ding Zhen.
No matter how humble their status is, how can they give Ding Zhen such a yellow flower girl as Sister Baoqin! Let's not say that Ding Zhen is a eunuch, just Ding Zhen can be the father of Baoqin's sister regardless of age.
Lai Shun looked at what Baoqin was going to say, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop her and whispered: "My good sister, you can't get any benefit from coming to your mother like this." ”
Bao Qin was reminded by him, and regained a trace of reason in her mind, and swallowed back the words that came to her mouth.
Lai Shun pulled Baoqin out of the hall, found a hidden place where no one was around, and said in a low voice: "My good sister, you can't come here now!" ”
Baoqin shook off his hand, her face was a little anxious, and she said angrily: "Then what should I do, I serve Niangniang so dedicatedly, how can Niangniang reward me to Ding Zhen!" ”
Lai hurriedly put his finger on his lips and "shh Let those who have a heart listen, you and I are going to cause trouble again. ”
Bao Qin's fingers rubbed the bridge of her nose and walked back and forth in place, "What can I do?" What can I do!! ”
Lai Shun listened to her words with obvious crying, and suddenly his mind was also confused. But after all, it was the virtuous concubine Niangniang who personally gave the order, how could they just be subordinates to influence the master's thoughts.
"Ahh Bao Qin suddenly screamed, "No, I can't go on like this. If this continues, my life will be over! ”
After that, before Laishun came to her senses, she ran out.
Only stayed and shouted in place with an anxious face: "Sister! Sister! ”
He knew her thoughts best, and with such a fierce temperament, she would do something stupid and unfatal.
Thinking of this, Lai Shun couldn't care about anything, and hurriedly ran out.
But when he ran out of the hall, Baoqin's figure had long been nowhere to be found, so he was so anxious that he stomped his feet on the spot.
Now I can only pray for God's blessing to let this sister Baoqin grow snacks, but don't do anything reckless and stupid.
Baoqin ran all the way to the wind, tears overflowing her eyes, sliding down from the corners of her eyes, and converging into a tear stain.
She finally ran to the place where she met Mao Ziyi again, and there was a piercing pain in her chest, and the smell of blood spread in her mouth.
For the first time, this feeling of helplessness enveloped her heart, and for the first time she was so desperate to see him. She believed that as long as she looked at him and saw him, her heart would not be so frightened and helpless.
Tears were like a faucet that had been turned on, sliding down one after another. She couldn't see him, she could scurry around like a headless fly, shouting as she scurried: "Brother Mao! Brother Mao! ”
Mao Ziyi got up early and saw Hui Xiuyuan sleeping next to him like a well-behaved child, and his heart was soft, it turned out that last night was not just a sweet dream.
Looking at the delicate face that was close at hand, the thought of retreating appeared in his mind for the first time. He was afraid that when she woke up, she would regret what she had done last night, and would look at him with disgust.
He was so discouraged, and because of this fear, he fled.
When he heard Baoqin's call, he was patrolling in a distraught neighborhood when suddenly a familiar cry came from his ears.
He frowned and followed the voice, and saw Baoqin squatting on the ground crying breathlessly, "Girl, what's wrong with you?" ”
The familiar sound of the girl sounded over the head of the baoqin, which made her even more tearful, and she finally waited for him. Sure enough, whenever she was in danger, he descended on her like a god.
She raised her head, looked at him pitifully, and called out in a somewhat hoarse throat: "Brother Mao." ”
Mao Ziyi looked at her embarrassed appearance and wanted to reach out to help her, but suddenly felt that there were water droplets dripping from her head. He looked up and saw that it was raining.
At first, the raindrops seemed to be drops of nothing, but then they grew bigger and faster.
He hurriedly picked up Baoqin and wanted to take her to a pavilion that could shelter her from the rain.
Who knew that Baoqin was stubbornly unwilling to leave, she grabbed Mao Ziyi's hand with her backhand, stared at him with red eyes, and said in a trembling voice: "Brother Mao, I..."
The words were still spitting out, and the tears blocked her mouth again. She hung her head and twitched, her shoulders trembling.
