25 Drunken mantra (2): The slave and the maid will do what they can
What Wan'er was worried about still happened, Ling Yue was shocked for a while, and suddenly howled and cried, the crying was particularly worrying in the quiet night, which frightened the few palace people who were waiting close around her.
Wan'er glanced at these palace people who had no six gods and no masters, suggesting that they should go farther.
"Princess, there are not many people here, if you want to cry, cry for a while. If you want to go back to the dormitory to rest, Wan'er will send you back. ”
Ling Yue sobbed: "Today is my birthday, it is obviously such a happy day, but now I want to cry." Maybe you think I want something, and there will be nothing to worry about. But this is not the case, the queen mother can call the wind and rain, and her hair is still starting to turn white, and her father is looking at the world, but he is riddled with diseases...... My Brother Hong......"
The former crown prince Li Hong is said to have died of illness in his prime.
"My Brother Hong...... I have had the best relationship with him since I was a child, and he even loves me more than my father. You may think that King Ying and King Xiang are both outstanding people, and they are indeed very good, but they can't be compared to Brother Hong......" Ling Yue repeated in a choked voice again, "How could such an upright and perfect person die young?" When he died, he was in the Qiyun Hall of the Hebi Palace, we were all present, watching him spit blood from his mouth, his face twisted, his expression was very painful, I will never forget his eyes when he was dying, as if he had a lot to say, and as if he was completely desperate for the world, disdainful of leaving a single word...... After he left, I was sad for a long, long time, and there was one person who was sad for longer than me, and that was my sixth brother...... Brother Xian he became extremely cold and resolute, and he rarely even smiled anymore, he never said that he hated, but we all knew what his silent struggle represented, he hated himself, he hated each and every one of us, especially the queen mother-"
Princess Taiping held back her tears, smiled bitterly, and her voice was cold, "I once had a sibling sister, but unfortunately she died in a hurry while still in infancy...... Wan'er, I'll tell you the truth, I've never believed it...... And that Concubine Xiao Shu, where is she the opponent of the queen mother? I have always admired the methods of the queen mother, but I dare not learn, I am afraid that if I learn, I will end up with a betrayal of my relatives......"
Wan'er didn't show much interest in these royal secret old news, let alone chase after them, she didn't seem to hear them, and said to herself, "The night is as cold as water, and the moonlight seems warm." The princess has a lot of feelings today, just waiting for the sun to rise tomorrow morning, everything is still the same as before. ”
"It's still Wan'er, you're transparent." The two were silent for a while, and Li Lingyue spoke.
Where is transparency, but it's none of your business.
Wan'er naturally couldn't say it directly, so she helped the princess up from the stone bench, tied the collar of the cloak tighter, clapped her hands, and signaled to the palace people who were waiting in the distance.
The palace people got the order and hurried to serve the princess back to the palace.
Ling Yue pushed the little chamberlain who bent forward to support her, and said to Wan'er again, "This year's Chongyang, I hope Wan'er you will not only serve your father, queen mother, but also serve me." ”
Wan'er responded: "The princess commands." ”
Ling Yue straightened her sideburns and broken hair, the clouds were light, the wind was light, and she used a tone that couldn't hear the clues at all, "What else can happen?" Chongyang family banquet, you always need someone to help Zhang Luo, you bother to invite my brothers, but you are not allowed to only give gifts, there is no shadow. ”
These words are no longer clear, others don't understand, but Wan'er deliberately knows, Princess Taiping has only one layer, and it is an understatement, but it is just a cover-up. She hoped that Wan'er could invite Li Xian from the East Palace out and reunite the Chongyang family banquet.
There is no doubt that this is a big problem that Princess Taiping gave Wan'er. Wan'er realized that this was not only a test, but also a kind of trust, but she didn't understand where the princess's confidence came from and decided that Wan'er could take on this heavy responsibility.
I'm just a humble little female official, an ant-like existence in the Daming Palace.
Wan'er thought this in her heart, but there was another set of words in her mouth, "The slave must do her best." ”
After sending Princess Taiping back to Fengyang Pavilion to settle down, Wan'er deliberately slowed down along the long palace corridor, some distance from where she lived, and the time on the way was enough for her to sort out her thoughts. The princess explained that she was obviously serious, although she had lost control of her emotions and was drunk on her face, but Wan'er was convinced that the princess was like a mirror in her heart, some things, the more dear the more guarded she was, and her flesh and blood relatives were like wrongs in her previous life, and no one would say a word wrong first. It is Wan'er's insignificant identity that the princess takes a fancy to, and it is good that she succeeds in taking risks, but if she angers the prince and ends up in a different place, it is just the result of a slave and maid boldly transgressing. Princess Taiping is still Princess Taiping, and she will not lose anything.
Are you being used as a waystone? Wan'er raised her eyes and looked at the crescent moon hanging on the treetops, and it was indeed much more vivid than what she had seen in the Yeting Palace.
