1577 Reluctance
She hurriedly lowered her head, blushed slightly, and quietly walked away. As she walked slowly, she thought to herself, why did the queen do this? Is it to eat her own jealousy, wanting to prove how much affection she and King Chu have? Is this necessary, and I don't want to compete with the queen for favor...... Thinking of this, Luo Ajing's heart was suddenly stabbed, and she suddenly remembered that Chen Mo said to her, "Calm down with each other", this unacceptable fact made her drive away the happiness, embarrassment, and suspicion just now, leaving only melancholy.
One evening a few days later, Luo Ajing, who had been busy all afternoon, was about to go back to the dormitory, when she was suddenly stopped by the queen. Luo Ajing was worried in his heart, and vaguely felt that the king's successor was not good, so he looked at the king of Chu from a distance, and when he saw that he did not react, he said that he was looking for something with me.
"I want to talk to you."
"This ...... Is it appropriate? ”
"Yes."
The queen directly grabbed Luo Ajing's arm and pulled her to sit in the small pavilion, where the dim sum from the dim sum shop was placed on the table. When Luo Ajing saw this situation, she felt bad, and hurriedly explained: "Queen Niangniang, a few days ago, the king of Chu went to eat snacks with me to make me full and in the mood to work, don't think about it." ”
The queen smiled and didn't speak, and quickly waved her hand to the palace maids and eunuchs, letting them look at Luo Ajing, and said, "I said the word 'love' to the king of Chu for the first time a few days ago. ”
Luo Ajing was slightly surprised, but it was not too exaggerated on the surface, and said congratulations.
"Thanks to you." The queen played with the handle of the coffee cup and bowed her head.
"What do you owe me?"
"Thanks to you, I can put down this ridiculous dignity and lean over to love someone."
"Why?"
"Maybe I've been acting too confident before, making everyone think that I'm a person who can live well without men. But from you, I found that women have to learn to show weakness, or rather, to learn to express their true thoughts. If you are reckless, you can only be hurt by yourself. ”
Luo Ajing nodded, and found that the queen's eyes were shining with tears, and she also had some feelings in her heart, and she was unconsciously moved, and she was silent for a while, and she didn't know what to say, so she had to take a piece of dim sum and hurriedly ate a big bite, saying that it was really delicious, to relieve the embarrassing atmosphere.
The queen looked at Luo Ajing, who was full of frosting, and suddenly asked, "Have you adapted to life in the palace?" ”
Luo Ajing almost choked, wiped the corners of her mouth with the back of her hand, and said, "Not yet." Maybe when people were moved, it was Xia Yi who confided the truth, and Luo Ajing actually told her heart to such a senior sister who had not said a few words. She recounted all kinds of discomfort and sadness since entering the palace. Of course, she also talked about Chen Mo. The queen knew Chen Mo, but she only knew a little.
The queen held her chin, she was not in the mood to listen to a little girl talk about messy things, but she was really a little grateful to the girl in front of her who let her take the first step from the shadow of coldness, so she listened patiently.
"Since he said he wanted to calm down, then you should calm down. Respect his choice, but don't go against your will. If you really have a brotherly and sisterly relationship, you should trust each other. Let time tell you the answer. ”
"But he said that he would come and pick me up from the palace before winter. It hasn't come yet. ”
"Now, you see, it's not snowing yet, so it's not winter. Wait until winter arrives and then make a decision. ”
Luo Ajing didn't know why the queen said this, but the queen's naughty and sincere smile made her start to believe in Chen Mo, but not the "brother and sister love" that the queen said, but the ambiguous and indescribable feelings that she had been indifferent. She took a large sip of the queen's tea, frowning bitterly.
Next, for several weeks, Luo Ajing did not have any contact with Chen Mo. Luo Ajing felt that she seemed to have adapted to life without him - this is the so-called calm? The previous sadness had gradually faded, and she began to wonder, is this a good thing or a bad thing? The queen said that time will tell her the answer, so what does this answer tell her? Luo Ajing didn't want to think hard, she listened to the palace maid Hua'er talk about her and the person she longed for in the dormitory, and she also began to gag with Xinxin. Of course, she will still secretly pay attention to Chen Mo's dynamics, standing outside the wall of Chen Mo's errand place, and she will also think about what he is doing in such a scene at this time? Of course, at the same time, she found that the time spent between the king and the queen of Chu had increased significantly, and the queen would show her affection in front of Luo Ajing from time to time, and Luo Ajing watched from the sidelines, and couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth. The king of Chu would always look at Luo Ajing embarrassedly, and Luo Ajing said to the two of them very calmly, just treat her as if she didn't exist, let them release to their heart's content! The queen would wink at Luo Ajing, as if the two had become friends with a common secret.
After a while, an elderly eunuch suddenly came to Luo Ajing's palace and told her to bathe her body, and that a sedan chair would come to pick her up and take her to the residence of the king of Chu later. Luo Ajing agreed, and it wasn't until she met Chen Mo who came to look for her outside the dormitory that she suddenly understood what it meant.
"In the future, you don't have to complain to me about how boring the palace is! You are about to become a concubine Niangniang" Chen Mo said with a smile, but there was a faint sourness in his heart, as if he was going to discard a practice book full of words, although he knew that this day would come sooner or later, but he would still be reluctant to face it.
Luo Ajing also smiled, she seemed to be relieved in her heart, in this period of days without Chen Mo, she gradually accepted her life, accepted her fate as a harem concubine, and served in bed, which meant that if she wanted to truly become the woman of the King of Chu, she would naturally have a lot less contact with Chen Mo. However, this ambiguous feeling with Chen Mo will also disappear. It's a relief.
Chen Mo looked at Luo Ajing's crooked eyes, sighed in his heart, patted Luo Ajing's shoulder with his hand, and said, "Jing'er, okay, don't let your family, and don't let me worry." ”
This time, Luo Ajing suppressed the sentimentality in her heart and agreed with a smile.
During the Chinese New Year, there was a sudden heavy snowfall, and the entire palace was covered in silver, which had a solemn but unreal feeling. On the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, Luo Ajing saw Chen Mo again, although he hadn't seen him for a long time, he still had the appearance in his impression, thin, and his broken hair could always be easily blown up by the wind, revealing a smooth forehead. This time, it was Chen Mo who took the initiative to ask Luo Ajing, but after the two met, he looked very embarrassed and didn't say a word.
"Have you found the girl you like?" Luo Ajing took the initiative to ask.
