Chapter 45: Identity
Er Ya became alert, she didn't forget that Ling'er was kidnapped at home, she pricked up her ears to listen to the movement, the window was suddenly pushed open, and a man suddenly jumped in, it turned out to be Gong Xuanchi, who had not seen her for a day.
I heard that she teaches Ling'er kung fu almost every day, and Ling'er is very energetic in learning, but there is no other news about it, what he is busy with on weekdays, no one knows, and he suddenly came here today, and I don't know what to do.
Thinking of the days ago when he hugged her and gently called her name, his heart moved slightly, and his cheeks rose crimson.
"Gong Xuanchi, what are you doing running to the women's boudoir in the middle of the night?!"
"Don't talk, I have something to tell you." He turned to close the window and whispered.
The girl only wore a snow-white middle coat, her face was like a peach blossom, her eyes were like green lotus, and she seemed to be hazy with a layer of light yarn under the dancing candlelight, which was a little vivid and charming.
Gong Xuanchi rolled his throat and quietly swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
"This is what my eldest brother gave you, you can open it and see for yourself."
He took out a delicate carved dragon and phoenix long box from his sleeve, and when Er Ya saw this box, he was alert that something was wrong, ordinary people, even princes and nobles could not engrave these patterns on the box, unless the emperor used it.
Taking the box, Er Ya glanced at Gong Xuanchi, hesitated, and opened the box.
A roll of bright yellow brocade silk in the box is particularly dazzling, the second girl frowned slightly, looking at this roll of brocade silk, her heart is already turbulent, she has never eaten pork, and she has seen pigs run, she has heard the storyteller say that the emperor's decree is like this......
Emperor? Could it be that Gong Xuanchi's eldest brother is the emperor?
Open the cloth shaft, and the sharp and strong handwriting is presented in front of you.
After a while, Er Ya came back to her senses after reading the contents of the cloth scroll, "Your eldest brother means that I can't resist?!" ”
There was a sarcastic smile on the corner of her mouth, she was so good that the emperor fell in love with her, and she was pregnant with the emperor's child, how noble is the phoenix girl and dragon grandson!
At the beginning, she admitted that she was a little moved, for a while, that man made her happy, but when he used that method to take away her innocence, her heart was cold, not to mention that she had noticed that Gong Jueyi had ulterior motives, but she didn't know what he wanted from her.
Gong Xuanchi saw that her eyes were cold, and her heart moved slightly, "If you don't want to ......"
"Why are you unwilling, the condescending saints today want me to be a civilian woman, and I still want to be high-minded, isn't it ignorant of elevation!"
Gong Xuanchi wanted to say...... If you don't want to, I'll take you away, but the girl in front of him said such a thing resolutely, what else can he do? She didn't have any thoughts about him at all, so how could she let the glory and wealth in the palace go with him?
"Then you pack your things well, and we may have to leave for Beijing in a few days." After speaking, the man's back had disappeared into the window.
The girl stood in front of the window and was stunned for a long time, sneered a few times, and couldn't tell how she felt in her heart, she was actually mixed with a man like the emperor.
Gong Jueyi actually threatened her as the emperor, if she didn't enter the palace...... Heh, is he going to kill her family?
In the eyes of others, this may be a splashing wealth, but for her, she doesn't care about this wealth. What she wants to live is just a kind of indifferent, worry-free life without fighting with the world, instead of going to the palace to deceive and intrigue, but her mother is the identity of the eldest princess of Chu State, and she is destined not to live such a life.
Lu Mingfeng, Lu Mingfeng...... Why did her mother give her this name, did she want her to be a phoenix that roared all over the world?
Lying on the bed for a long time and unable to fall asleep, there is moonlight tonight, the Xiangfei bamboo in the yard is blown by the wind, the swaying shadow rubbing on the window paper, the rustling sound urges people to sleep.
In the dim room, the colored stone emitted a faint light, far away in the palace of Kuncheng, the capital of the Chu State, an old man sat cross-legged in front of the huge gilded Nine Dragons plate, a light flashed, the old man stood up, stroked his gray beard, thoughtfully, "How could this girl lose her innocence?" Turning her head and glancing at Jiulongpan again, you must know that Chu Yu's identity is special, after she left the palace, everyone was looking for her, but she refused to return to the palace with him, and left a letter for him to pass it on.
It turned out that Chu Yu was the chosen saint of the forbidden land of Chu State, and a sacrifice ceremony was to be carried out every fifteen years, and the ceremony must be guided by the blood of the Chosen Holy Maiden, and the forbidden land was opened to serve the Emperor of Chu, which was very important for the national fortune of Chu State, so it has always been valued by Chu State.
Now it has been fifteen years since Chu Yu left the palace, and it is almost time to sacrifice, Emperor Chu has been sick for many years, and the government has also let the queen intervene, and sometimes the legato is reviewed by the queen on behalf of the queen, but the saint must be complete, otherwise her blood will have no effect.
It's just that the saintess chosen by Chu Yu is no longer a virgin, unless she ...... Let her give birth to a baby girl as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable.
"Lingxu Zhenren, Your Majesty is coughing up blood again today, and the queen has summoned you over." A palace attendant hurriedly took small steps outside the golden flower and bird screen.
The old man glanced at the Kowloon Pan, "Got it." ”
Empress Chu? How could he almost forget how much she wanted that girl's life, no, he had to go to Lin'an as soon as possible, the girl fell off the cliff before, and nine times out of ten it was the handiwork of Empress Chu. Now the life-sustaining pill that was snatched in the ghost market is almost unable to protect the emperor, and the action must be fast.
A wise man must make a mistake in a thousand thoughts, how can he forget this stubble!
"Miss, but you're up?" Mama Feng's voice sounded from outside the door, and then the door was pushed open, Mama Feng quickly closed the door, but still didn't stop the cold wind from pouring in, "Miss, it's cold outside today, Miss will have breakfast in the house, and the old slave asked Agarwood to bring the food in." ”
"Is Uncle Fu okay, why did Agarwood come back?" Erya hugged the goose-yellow soft quilt and sat on the bed reluctant to get up.
"It's much better, saying that I'm not used to being served by others, let Agarwood come back, and Mama Lin will decoct him on time." Mama Feng soaked Jinpa in hot water, "Miss, don't worry, the old slave will wait for you to freshen up." ”
Er Ya listened to Mama Feng's words, put her heart at ease, took the hot handkerchief, applied it to her face, wrapped the heat around her cheeks, and couldn't help but sigh.
"Miss, the carbon you ordered has been distributed to Fanghua Pavilion, and our yard is about to be used, but I don't know if Zihua Pavilion should have some past?"
"What day is it?"
"I just entered the wax moon, and today is the first day of the wax moon."
Erya responded, and then said slowly: "Zihua Courtyard, you can watch and send some over, Uncle Fu and Grandpa Fu in the front yard are all divided, and they are afraid of cold when they are old."
After all, Gong Xuanchi also saved her, and he couldn't be too mean to him because of his eldest brother. Mama Feng should go down, and she was also moved in her heart that Miss could be kind to her subordinates.
"Which one is Miss wearing today, these three are all newly made by the old slave and agarwood for you, this pink rabbit down cloak with white rabbit hair steamed into a collar, clipped with new cotton, this dark blue with duck down sandwiched inside, light and warm, is done according to your instructions, embroidered with white plum is elegant, this apricot cotton clip, embroidered with mint grass, are all Miss likes the style."
Mama Feng said carefully, Er Ya didn't care so much about it on weekdays, and when she heard what she said, she found that these clothes and skirts were very chic and meticulous, and she was pleased.
"Just that dark blue."
Filling the clothes with duck down was that she happened to see ducks swimming in the pond in winter, but she was not afraid of the cold, so she asked Mama Feng to find duck down to make clothes and try it, but she didn't expect it to be done so quickly.
"The duck down is a little fishy, the old slave uses dried osmanthus to steam it together, but there is a fragrance, is the lady used to it?"
Er Ya sniffed closely, and sure enough, a faint fragrance was the smell of osmanthus.
"It smells good, that's it, how can there be so many flowers to choose from in winter." Er Ya smiled and put on her clothes, sure enough, light and warm, but she had some thoughts in her heart.
"Which hairpin is Miss wearing today, this plum blossom hairpin is matching Miss's clothes today."
Mama Feng picked up a hollow plum hairpin and gestured it on the girl's sideburns, it was really beautiful, the girl had a goose egg face, her facial features were small and exquisite, and her eyes seemed to be able to speak, and she was very good-looking.
Erya nodded, dressed up, listened to the sound of the door, a gust of cold wind poured in, Mama Feng hurriedly closed the door, Agarwood walked into the house with breakfast, "I am afraid it will snow in the next few days, Miss should pay attention to keep warm, go out and bring the soup woman, don't catch a cold." ”
Mama Feng helped to put the breakfast together, Er Ya took a look, there is a fried bun today, fried to a golden bottom, the skin is white sesame and green onions and hot and fragrant, at this time I really feel extremely happy, the satisfaction is overflowing, a bite down, the meat filling is fragrant, the second girl index finger moved, happy to squint.
"Boss, someone is coming to visit." Lu Zhong ran in a hurry, panting and standing outside the door.
"Who's coming?" Er Ya just took a sip of meat porridge, swallowed it hurriedly and asked.
"It's the young lady in Lin Tong's house, who said that she and you are friends with handkerchiefs, and she came to visit."
