14 The old man recounts
"Maybe it's because my childhood memories are too thin, and this capital is no longer what it was when I left." Shen Yuexi raised her eyes and looked at the sky, "I hope that all the people in this capital have already forgotten me." β
"Don't worry, no one in this capital will know who you are, from today on, you are Yue Xi, a stand-in for my beloved who has never let go of my heart, and I will live in this Kangping palace in the future." Zhao Zheng replied calmly.
Shen Yuexi had heard the name Yue Xi, and when she was very young, she seemed to have heard it when her brother Shen Yi and Zhao Zheng were joking, because Yue Xi and Yue Xi had the same pronunciation.
But at that time, Shen Yuexi was still young and did not deliberately remember who Yue Xi was.
Now I hear Zhao Zheng mention it, it turns out to be his beloved.
"And where is she now?" Shen Yuexi asked. She guessed that it should be Yue Xi who married someone else, separated from Zhao Zhengshanshui.
"I passed away ten years ago." Zhao Zheng replied calmly in his voice. This was the first time he had mentioned Yue Xi's death to anyone other than Huineng.
Shen Yuexi was stunned and didn't speak.
"In the future, you will live in the mansion, and you will have more time to chat, now, I will take you to Qianfuyuan to see if you still like that courtyard." Zhao Zheng also diverted from this sad topic.
So, Shen Yuexi, Zhao Zheng, Huineng, and the three of them walked to Qianfuyuan together.
The news of the little beggar's stay in Senfuyuan soon spread to Ruyi Garden and Yeoncui Garden.
When Hexi heard this, he was stunned, and then he hid his face and laughed, "This is unusual, let a beggar live in Qianfuyuan, is this a slap in the face of the princess?" β
The maidservant Xiu Gu who sent back the news also accompanied him and smiled.
"Aunt Xiu, you have long ears, if there is any movement from the princess in a while, it will be passed on early, our palace has not been lively for a long time." Hexi sighed comfortably, got up and walked to the outer hall, looking at the bright snow light outside, with a gloating expression on his face.
In Ruyi Garden, An Yiru was a little dazed when she first heard the news, and she suspected that her ears were wrong.
"Mother Gui, what did you just say?" After being stunned for a long time, An Yiru asked again.
"I just heard rumors from people that the little beggar has moved to Senfukuin." Gui's mother said this again.
An Yiru's hand on the couch instantly clenched, and after a long pause, he asked coldly: "Is it what the Seventh Prince meant?" β
Saying this, An Yiru also knew that it was superfluous to ask, in the Kangping Palace, except for the Seventh Prince's speech, who still has so much right and courage to make this decision.
Sure enough, Gui's mother whispered back: "Yes." β
An Yiru closed her eyes for a long time, but she never opened them.
"Mother Gui, what do you say, what should I do now? Do you want to make a big fuss in Senfuyuan and let the whole house see the joke? When An Yiru asked this sentence, she sneered.
"How can that beggar He De be worthy of your anger, princess, I am afraid that the poor will not be blessed even if they enter the Thousand Blessings Temple." Mother Gui said meaningfully.
An Yiru tasted Pingui's mother's words, and then lowered her head and fiddled with the armor in her hand, "Men have always liked the new and hated the old since ancient times, for so many years, it is not uncommon for the seventh master to accept a newcomer into the mansion, if it is a family with a faΓ§ade, it will be counted, but it is a beggar, and it will be laughed at when it is passed out...... So I have to protect the face of our Kangping Palace, and finish her off before making a bigger joke. β
Mother Gui smiled slightly, "Yes, Princess, you are thoughtful. β
"I'll fix a book for a while, you secretly find someone to help me hand it out, and I'm going to ask someone to send Guanyin back, and it's not worth it to catch up with someone by the way." An Yiru raised her eyes to look at Gui's mother.
Mother Gui nodded understandingly.
An Yiru did not move here, and everything in the Kangping Palace, as before, did not make waves.
