Chapter 149: It's just a fantasy
A wry smile appeared on Hui Xiuyuan's face, and she was finally no longer expressionless.
"I cried and told him that our child was gone, and he comforted me softly, as gently as before. No, more gentle than before. "But when I told him that our child was killed by Concubine Zhang Xian, he looked at me like he was looking at a madman."
He didn't believe him, so I got on my knees and begged him to give me the truth. But he said I was crazy, and everything was just my imagination. ”
Her voice was staccato and calm, flat narrated, as if she were telling someone else's story.
Hua Qingrao's heart was full of distress, she had never been a mother, and she couldn't deeply understand that kind of feeling. Now she must be cheered up no matter what, otherwise she will become a ghost in this deep palace.
She pretended to be indifferent and said coldly: "You are crazy, do you think that if you tell him that the child is caused by Concubine Zhang Xian, he will take pity on you, and he will immediately ask Concubine Zhang Xian to come over and question?" You overestimate your place in his heart. ”
Hui Xiuyuan heard her cold sneer, smiled disdainfully, turned her head and stared at her, "Do you think he really loves you?" Sooner or later, you'll be like me. ”
Hua Qingrao looked at the chill in her eyes, and her heart tightened, but she still made an indifferent look on her face. "At least then, I won't turn myself into an embarrassment like you."
She turned around and took the dusty bronze mirror on the table, stretched it out in front of Hui Xiuyuan, and said coldly, "Have you seen what you look like now?" ”
Hui Xiuyuan slowly raised her eyes, and through the thick dust, she looked at the people inside who had already described them as withered. Her thin, bony hand trembled slightly against her sunken cheeks.
"The most important thing is that the world can't stay, and the face is a flowery tree."
Hua Qingrao's pupils trembled, what was it that defeated such a tall woman so completely. She retracted the bronze mirror, "See?" This is what Concubine Zhang Xianfei most expects you to become. ”
She turned and gracefully walked to the table, placing the bronze mirror in her hand. "I don't think it will be long before you are in your mind. The most important thing in the palace is women, and when you fall, many women will be on top. ”
She turned to look at Hui Xiuyuan, the corners of her mouth hooked slightly, "Everyone has forgotten you, and Concubine Zhang Xian can do it, just like she did to Yi Xiuyi." When the time comes, will the news of your suicide due to the loss of your child reach everyone's ears? ”
Hui Xiuyuan's eyes sprouted hatred, she gritted her teeth and said: "This nine-fold palace made of carved railings and jade is what all the women in the world think about day and night. I'm just a little concubine in the walls of this palace, and I just want to be plain with my children for the rest of my life. Why the hell are you having trouble with me? ”
"Since you are in this nine-fold palace, why do you have to daydream? It's all your imagination! Hua Qingrao ruthlessly shattered the beautiful dream in her heart.
Hui Xiuyuan's face trembled, her teeth bit her lower lip tightly, and she didn't speak.
Hua Qingrao walked back to her side, covered her hand with her hand, and said softly: "If you want revenge, no one can help you." Only by letting yourself get better quickly can you double what she has done to you! ”
Hui Xiuyuan's eyes were hazy, and she closed her eyes and suppressed the tears that wanted to run out. "What should I do?"
With a "crunch", the snow kite pushed the door in with porridge.
Hua Qingrao took the porridge from her hand, scooped up a spoonful with a spoon, put it to her mouth and blew it, and it was not hot before reaching out to Hui Xiuyuan's mouth.
"Now you just need to eat something."
Hui Xiuyuan opened her eyes, and under the moisture of tears, her eyes regained some of their former brilliance. She obediently opened her mouth and ate the porridge from the spoon.
Hua Qingrao saw that she had finally come to her senses, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and scooped a spoonful from the bowl again with a smile.
Since then, Hua Qingrao has visited and taken care of her every day, and her body has gradually recovered. Although it is not as radiant as before, his face is also a little complex.
On this day, Hua Qingrao went to see Hui Xiuyuan at the usual hour, and specially asked Xue Kite to prepare some snacks and warm objects. Winter is also here, and her body is still weak, so she always needs these.
As soon as Hua Qingrao walked to the Taiye Pool, she saw Zhao Xuan walking towards her. His gaze swept to his side again, and Shu Meiren was shyly whispering something in his ear, and he tilted his head and laughed.
Zhao Xuan smiled and swept over the frozen Taiye Pool, and when his gaze turned to the front, the smile on his face suddenly froze, and his face gradually turned cold.
Shu Meiren was a little confused about the sudden change in his face, and looked at his line of sight suspiciously, and saw Hua Qingrao, who was wearing a soft wool brocade cloak, standing slim not far away.
She smiled and exclaimed in surprise, "Sister Ying! ”
This coquettish call woke up the two stunned people.
Hua Qingrao glanced at Zhao Xuan from a distance, did not move, leaned over and saluted: "The concubines see everyone." ”
Zhao Xuan's deep eyes stared at her for a long time before he said lightly: "Get up." ”
With that, he glanced his head to the side absently.
Hua Qingrao felt extremely bitter in her heart, and she hadn't seen him since that night. She was also busy with Hui Xiuyuan's affairs every day, leaving him behind. Now that I think about it, these days have been the best for any of them.
Shu Meiren ran to her in small steps, took her hand enthusiastically, and said with a smile: "Sister Ying, the concubine is relieved to see that you look so good." ”
Hua Qingrao's eyes sank, she looked sideways at Zhao Xuan, and Zhao Xuan was also looking at her. There was no emotion on his face, just a coldness in his eyes when he looked at her.
She turned her gaze to Shu Meiren's face, which was only a bright and innocent smile, and there was no trace of other thoughts. She didn't know in her heart whether Shu Meiren said this intentionally or unintentionally.
"The concubines haven't been taken care of these days, I went to visit the Changle Palace, my sister is not angry with the concubines, right?" Shu Meiren shook her hand coquettishly and said coquettishly.
Hua Qingrao quietly withdrew her clenched hand, with a decent but distant smile on her face, "How come, Shu Meiren will come back when she is free." ”
Zhao Xuan walked over slowly, took Shu Meiren's hand, and looked at her face with a soft gaze, "Why are your hands so cold, let's go back to the hall after enjoying the snow." His voice was full of concern and distress.
Hua Qingrao felt a burst of sadness in her heart, if she gave Hui Xiuyuan such a tender almsgiving, she would not be tortured like that.
Shu Meiren's cheeks floated with two blushes, and she sighed, and said coquettishly: "Everyone, my sister is still here." ”
She suddenly raised her head to look at Hua Qingrao, and said with a smile: "Why don't you go with Sister Ying to enjoy the snow with us!" It must be very lively! ”
Hua Qingrao waved her hand and said, "No..."
Zhao Xuan heard her refusal, so he turned his head to look at Hua Qingrao. Seeing that her face was indifferent, there was an unknown fire burning in her heart. He interrupted her in a cold voice: "Shu'er, Yingjieyu still has her things to do." And I like to enjoy the snow with you. ”
