Chapter 100: Selfishness
There are some things that even Song Yan, who has been serving Qi Heng for decades, doesn't know, and only he knows best. Therefore, even though Fang Cai Pei Bao'er was already shocked by the eavesdropping words and the words of Qingyun Dao people, the surprise on her face at the moment was no less than that of Fang Cai.
She never imagined that his entanglement with herself would start so early.
Qingyun agreed to help, but insisted on waiting until the year when my Yang Shou was exhausted. Those years have been really long, and I finally went back, but I forgot all about the past. Until you went to accompany the ......"
Qi Heng wrapped his arms loosely around her sluggish, rested his chin with a little stubble on top of her head, rubbed it, and let out a almost inaudible sigh in comfort.
"Remember what I asked you in the Women's Temple?"
Pei Bao'er thought for a while and recalled with difficulty: "If you know what will happen in the future, it will be beneficial to you, but it will cause harm to the people around you......"
She jerked her head up, "You only remembered that?" ”
Qi Heng sighed and whispered in her ear: "It's me who can't stand you." Then he said slowly: "Later, I heard from you last year, but after finding you, I found out that I ...... At that time, I thought, if you don't recognize each other, it's not bad for you to live happily all the time, but in the end, it doesn't live up to your selfishness. ”
Pei Bao'er's eyes were full of mist, but she bit her lip to prevent them from turning into droplets, her slender white fingers grabbed his placket tightly, and she didn't say anything else.
Speaking of which, coupled with the previous glimpse of the context, she could already guess what the cause and effect were, so why say more.
Qingyun Daoren's face flashed in front of her eyes.
"Although Poor Dao was miserably harmed by the prince, he is still trapped in this fire pit and can't get out, but Poor Dao is not a heartless person, and he has to say a few fair words. The princess said that the prince hurt you twice, and according to the poor way, this is very wrong. On the contrary, if it weren't for him, I'm afraid that the princess wouldn't have the opportunity to sit here and confront Poor Dao now. ”
"Back then, Lingtailang, who approved that auspicious character for the prince and princess, was not a bystander, but a junior brother who was not angry. The man was greedy for Hongchen, and ran away after learning half a bucket of water in the master's door, and he didn't know whose way he went and entered the Qintian Prison. A few years ago, Poor Dao met him in the capital, and it took three rounds of wine to reveal it. To put it mildly, you are fated to make a mistake, you will not be able to overcome your father and mother, and you will be displaced, even a half-hung person like a poor Taoist brother can see that it is the life of a lonely man in the third world. But he accepted the gift from Changle Palace, and this good fortune had to be presented to the first emperor. So, there is this marriage between you and the prince. ”
"Poor and talented, entrusted by the prince, the fire fox once tried to use the soul-attracting technique, but accidentally glimpsed a glimmer of genius. Instead of harming you twice, he saved you twice. The first time, he gave up the True Dragon Destiny of the first life, and the second time, he gave up his luck and thirty years of longevity......"
These words rumbled in her ears, like the sudden sound of cannon fire in her heart, and blasted the impregnable gates of the city open a great opening, and then collapsed with a bang.
After this day, Qi Heng's illness really improved significantly.
When he came to ask for the pulse again, Shao Yuanju looked surprised, looked overjoyed, and said continuously: "The prince's holy body is healthy, but God bless me with great prosperity~"
Pei Bao'er frowned on the side, and Qi Heng also spoke: "Shao Yuan judged caution." ”
Shao Yuan judged that it was as if he had been stung by a wasp, and his already purple skin was even redder.
However, Imperial Doctor Zhang has been silent, his face is still a little suspicious, he is very cautious when he feels the pulse, and he refuses to get up for half an hour.
Pei Bao'er guessed that he must be wondering how Qi Heng had improved so much overnight, obviously he still took the medicine a few days ago, but it was better not to spread the word about the arts, so he also pretended to be overjoyed, and praised the two imperial doctors for their hard work.
What bothered her was not this, but that Qi Heng insisted on returning to the court as soon as he got better.
She snorted angrily: "Lord Wang still doesn't shed tears when he doesn't see the coffin, right, if Qingyunzi really slips away this time, he can't find anyone anymore, I'll see what you do next time I get sick!" I know that I am worried about court affairs, can't you not go to the palace? Even if you are in the house, you can also do the same thing? ”
Since they all spoke, Qi Heng spoke a lot more casually in front of her.
"It's still different in the end, those people in the cabinet, you don't know, no one is there to suppress them, and the government hall can turn the sky upside down."
Pei Bao'er said suspiciously: "Not so, right?" Sanyang, haven't you also used it for more than ten years? Other officials can't do it, they should always be more serious, so as not to ......"
"Yang Shen is better, there are only two left, hum. Although Yang Yan can do some practical things, he is also greedy and has too much desire for power. Yang Siyue is upright, but he is too pedantic. These two men are very different, one of them is in charge of the household department, and the other is in charge of the military department, and seven or eight days out of ten days will be the tip of the needle. Yang Shen is not qualified enough to suppress them. After a pause, Qi Heng said again: "Although the northern border is stable for the time being, there is some impatience on the side of the Beidi Royal Court, it seems that Lao Wang is seriously ill and has a lot of internal fighting, and the specific news should come in two days." As for the south, you have personally experienced the Japanese in Qingzhou, and the military reports have not stopped in the past two months. Coupled with the drought in several state capitals to the south, and the flood in other state capitals, alas, ......"
The implication is that you must go.
Although Pei Bao'er understood in her heart, she was still a little dissatisfied, "I naturally don't dare to stop you in military affairs, but you don't have to stay up in the palace." After the early dynasty, a few important matters have been decided, and the rest can not be disposed of when they come back? Everything in the house is cheap, besides, although the food in the palace is exquisite, it may not be as delicious as what we make in our small kitchen. You're not fully recovered at this point, so you'd better ......."
Before she finished speaking, he suddenly hugged her into her arms, and her eyes were still shining.
"Well, the princess is right, our food is delicious."
Throwing down this sentence, he Shi Shiran left.
Pei Bao'er thought about it inexplicably, and then it seemed to be a retrospective, and her face was slightly hot.
Beiyan, who was "driven" out and waiting outside, saw Qi Heng go out, so he came in with a smile, and while serving Pei Bao'er for breakfast, he said with a strange smile that he knew well: "Master, the slave and maid have brought some of your change of clothes and those over, you will see in a while, if there is anything missing, the slave and maid will go back and make up for it." ”
Pei Bao'er glanced at her inexplicably, especially the smile on her face that couldn't be hidden, "What did you bring here?" ”
Beiyan was confident, "Don't you want to live here to serve the sick?" ”
Pei Baoer thought about the long deep conversation yesterday, and she cried and laughed later, she accidentally fell asleep here, and missed the dinner point, and when she woke up, it was already more than half of the hour, Qi Heng refused to let people send her back to the main courtyard, so she was left behind.
The heat on her face rose again: "Ahem, just prepare one or two sets, let's put them in the west wing." ”
Beiyan sighed, obviously a little incredulous, "West Wing? ”
Beiyan, who was sent to sleep yesterday, was a little out of the situation, and she couldn't help but wonder if Gonggong Song's hint was misunderstood, could it be that her master hadn't ......
"What are you still doing? Go and put things in order, I'll just do it myself. ”
Pei Baoer gave a serious order, and finally broke up this stupid and straightforward girl.
But when the little maid came to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, she was stunned. Because, one of the two fourteen or fifteen-year-old little girls has eyebrows and eyes that are slightly similar to the Liu family who is no longer in the house, especially a small red mole on the side of the cheek, which is even more like the extreme, but it is far less beautiful than the Liu family, and it is a little more youthful.
Before returning to the main courtyard, it was Song Yan who sent her.
Pei Bao'er seemed to mention it unintentionally, "Yesterday, Gonggong Song sent all the people under him, and when he came over, he didn't think that today's look at the courtyard was full of green leaves, but I just saw a few red flowers, which is unusual." ”
Song Yan's clever and exquisite heart replied: "The prince has not used to have servant girls in recent years, and there are thunder guards for things outside, and they have to wait for the old slave and those godgrandsons to be sent in their daily lives." The few people who came to serve the princess today are all temporary people, who usually do some chores in the garden, and if they collide with the princess, they also ask the princess to be merciful and disturb them this time. ”
Pei Bao'er naturally didn't say anything, but just turned her head and asked Bai Lu.
"Back to the master, although the slave and maid are in charge of the affairs of the backyard, but the person who dialed the person was personally taken by the other party of Song Gonggong, why did he choose those few, the slave and maid don't know. However, the ins and outs of those people have been clarified. ”
The maid who looks like the Liu family is called Yang Chun, and his parents and family are all on errands in the palace, and he is the first batch of old people who were transferred when he was in the palace of the king. However, the Yang family husband and wife are honest, they have no ability, they can't mix with the first level of management, they are not any people on the cards, and they have been doing their work in peace.
At the end of last year, Concubine Wei moved out of the inner palace and moved to the north courtyard of the palace. At that time, some manpower was transferred, and there were people from the Yang family here.
"So, is that what the old lady meant?" Beiyan dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, so he had to pout silently.
Bai Lu looked at Pei Bao'er's expression, and saw that she didn't mean to speak, so she said: "The slave maid thinks that it has nothing to do with the old lady. Either this happened by accident, or someone deliberately provoked ...... with bad intentions."
"Stirring?"
Bai Lu lowered his head: "Exactly, how the Liu family became an aunt from a foot-washing maid back then, we all know it in our hearts." Last month, the Liu family went, but the little county lord sent it to the north courtyard to raise. Come to think of it, there are people who have big hearts. ”
"North Courtyard? You mean Aunt Qin? Beiyan said incredulously, "You just said those old things about the Liu family, how did the Qin family know about them?" When she entered the mansion, the little county lord had already landed on the ground......"
Pei Bao'er looked sad, "What's so strange about this?" There is no impermeable wall in the world, she has been in the mansion for so many years, if she has no connections, she can't inquire, and she can still live peacefully under the hands of the Lin family, it would be a strange thing. ”
Bai Lu said: "It may not be her." She is just an aunt, she is just half a master, she has no children and no favor, and it is impossible for the little county lord to pass under her name. In the past few years, the slave maid has looked at her coldly, the prince has always been indifferent to her, and she is not as persistent as the Lin family and the Liu family. The slave guessed that the Qin family was just asking for the title of a side concubine, so now they are only dedicated to flattering the old lady. It's Concubine Lin, who is really the one who is also on the royal jade and has an heir. ”
After such an analysis and discussion, Pei Baoer only felt that the joy in yesterday was greatly reduced, and the worries about Qi Heng's thoughts turned into a silent sigh.
