Chapter 107: Settled
In the blink of an eye, a falling sunset roll on the horizon carries the stratus clouds soaked in rouge, adding a touch of bright color in the summer.
The evening breeze was blowing, and after dinner, Tang Yue put a bamboo chair under the banana tree to enjoy the coolness, and the willow traced the pattern according to the hosta flowers, planning to make a few more purses, Banxia took a small dish of lotus leaf frozen stone and peeled the water chestnut on the side, Tang Yue shook the fan, looking back like sleepy-eyed, and the smile on his lips couldn't stop.
The years are so quiet, but it is picturesque. With a leisurely sigh, looking at the emerald banana leaves above his head, there were a few shades of red hidden under the thick leaves, and he used a plain white fan to block the light slightly leaking from the top of his head, Tang Yue called a palace maid with a nice voice to come over, and took a silver naked child to reward her, "Can you sing?"
The palace maid put away the silver nude and responded obediently, "I know some hometown tunes." ”
"Sing it and listen to it. "Tang Yue's mind is depressed, and her heart is hidden, just as the high court said to the emperor, her heart is depressed, her spleen is injured, she thinks a lot, she is weak, and she has to rely on her illness, as for whether she can take care of it, it depends on whether she can figure it out.
The girl's voice is like a clear spring, and it has a cool taste to listen to in summer. The soft words pinched the cool breeze, and the soft words of Wu Nong, which is unique to Jiangnan, lingered in the ears of several people.
When the South Garden is half-green in spring, the wind and the neighing of the horses.
Green plums are like beans and willows are like eyebrows, and butterflies fly every day.
The flower dew is heavy, the grass smoke is low, and the curtains are hanging.
The swing is sleepy and undressed, and the painting hall is double swallow returning.
The daughter's voice is tactful and charming, and this tone is also appropriate, but Tang Yue always feels a little strange under her lightness.
"Is this Ouyang Xiu's Ruan Langgui?" she said softly, her indifferent voice was not very high, but somehow, she was able to suppress the girl's singing voice, and let this song that was like a nickname instantly messed up, like a pearl spilling on the ground.
The girl was a little panicked, her eyes were flustered, and she didn't know where to put it, and she said, "It's Ouyang Xiu's Ruan Langgui." ”
Tang Yue took the plain white fan covering his face, propped himself up slightly and looked at the girl in front of him, eighteen or nineteen years old, the best appearance of a girl, who can enter the palace, her figure, and appearance will definitely not be bad, but if it is not to the point where it has to be so, who will send her own girl into the palace to be a palace maid? On the surface, she said that she was serving the masters, but how many died in this palace secretly?
Tang Yue is two points younger than her, her face is delicate but bloodless, the thin lips on her palm-sized face are slightly hooked, as if she is smiling, and the hair in her ears that is played by the wind hangs down, making her face more and more white and clean, and her hair is jet black, only less bloody, not as healthy as ordinary women.
It looks very harmless, only a pair of eyes are like paint, bright and deep, as if they can see through people's hearts.
"What's your name?" Tang Yue said lightly, Yang Liu twisted her eyebrows slightly, worried about what kind of compassion Tang Yue had moved, just now she also understood, this girl is only afraid of having a sweetheart, this Ruan Langgui sang with compassion, and sang the deep love of the boudoir written in this word to the fullest.
"The slave maid is called Lian'er. ”
Tang Yue nodded thoughtfully, "How many years have you been in the palace?"
"It's been three years since I entered the palace. "This palace maid named Lian'er is obviously very uneasy, she was originally just an ordinary sprinkler in this Yuxiu Palace, the most ordinary kind, who eats and goes to the front. Some of those who entered the palace with her were waiting beside the princess, some climbed the high branches, and some were ...... It was buried in an unknown place, overgrown with weeds, and there was not even a dry grave, and the jackdaws did not go.
She didn't ask for much, she just wanted to be safe and secure, to do things in peace, and at the age of twenty-five, she could be released from the palace smoothly and reunite with her family. As for getting married...... It's a luxury. She lowered her eyebrows and looked gloomy, when she was twenty-five years old, who would wait for her?
"It's been three years...... Tang Yue was dumbfounded, "Then you should know what to do and what not to do." "This girl is quite close to her, but it's a pity that now she is crossing the river in the mud, and she can't protect herself, and she doesn't know where the road ahead is, so she can't help her, all she can do is to be careful.
Seeing that Lian'er was pale and trembling because of her words, Tang Yue sighed slowly, got up to help the person, and patted her shoulder, Lian'er was taller than her, but she could only stand in front of her with a bow, Tang Yue paused, didn't know what to say, and finally sighed, "Palace maids are not allowed to teach each other privately in the palace, if you want to live in the palace, you can't let others catch your handle." ”
"Yes. Lian'er blinked, still not daring to look up, but the wind seemed to be stronger, and her eyes were a little dry.
"Don't sing this Ruan Lang after he returns. Tang Yue said, "I can't stand you today, but now I can't protect myself, I'm afraid I won't be able to help you." ”
"County Lord......" Lian'er opened her mouth and couldn't help but look up at her, the county lord in front of her had a bloodless face, but he was still smiling, like an orchid creeping in the wind and rain.
"Look at you like this, I think I have also read and learned words, and this thing is given to you, which is also my heart. Tang Yue smiled, took off the Momei hosta with curled hair on his head and put it in Lian'er's palm, and winked playfully, "It's okay." ”
Lian'er nodded and put the hosta into her arms. Fortunately, Tang Yue didn't like to be disturbed, this was the backyard of the side hall, no one was here, but no one found that Lian'er also hid a Momei hosta. This thing is well carved, in good condition, and full of water, and it is also worth some silver when it is taken out and sold.
"Go ahead. Tang Yue patted her hand and asked her to leave, and then leaned lazily on the chair and blew the cool breeze.
Wind Chimes walked over and whispered in her ear, "Girl, the princess is here." ”
Tang Yue bowed his head and signaled that he knew.
Two plantains, a hosta flower, three or four bamboo curtains, but a rare scenery of the east fence, and the palace is different from the thick gold and red.
"So you're here, but I'm easy to find. Dongyang is dressed ordinarily, with a goose-yellow waist-length skirt with a cross-neckline, wide sleeves, a hairpin shaken between the hairpins, and a faint sound of footsteps shaking like a bell in addition to the fragrant breeze between walking.
It's just that it's not as good as her voice.
"Why are you here?" Tang Yue opened his mouth lazily, took down the plain white fan, and in a blink of an eye, he had a smile on his face, and his eyes were shining with water, which was very graceful.
"Look at you!" Dongyang said confidently, full of his little daughter's thoughts, and winked playfully, "I brought you good news and good things." ”
"Then give me the good things first, and then hear the good news!" Tang Yue smiled and stretched out his hand, his white hands were slender, and each fingertip was just right round, a beauty looked like this, who could bear to refuse?
What's more, Dongyang is cooperative.
Clapping her hands, the maid stepped forward with the food box, opened it, and placed the contents of the food box on the small table one by one.
A bowl of unknown soup, a stack of delicate dim sum.
"The palace maid said that you haven't eaten much today, but I took out the good things at the bottom of my box and boiled the porridge for you, and boiled it for more than an hour!
It's just that she has always been the master of the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, and she is here today...... I'm afraid there will be something for her to come up with again.
But well...... The soldiers will block, and the water will cover the earth. She has something to ask, so naturally there is room for discussion.
Tang Yue was not hypocritical, he took a silver spoon of soup to drink, and there was a rich aroma before he entered the mouth, smelling Tang Yue frowned slightly at first, and then it was a stream of tea fragrance that pressed all the rich flavors down, leaving a faint refreshing tea flavor, the entrance, which is mixed with bird's nest boiling, is the best official swallow, honey, and ...... Flower?
"Bixia soup?" Tang Yue looked at Dongyang and said confidently.
Dongyang was surprised, "You know this?"
"I collected the stamens for a year, and with the good pre-rain dragon well, it took me a year to get a small bag. "It's a bit of a treasure.
"But how did you taste it in one bite?" Dongyang asked curiously, she didn't tell anyone after getting this small bag, so she secretly poked and poked it once, and gave it to her father, queen mother, and queen mother, Tang Yue, this is ......
Tang Yue's smile couldn't help but deepen, "The mountain family offering in your hand is still from me to you! I have eaten the things in it over and over again in the past two years!"
Dongyang suddenly remembered the days when the two exchanged letters in the past, you wrote to me a little, and I brought snacks to you, but I was uncomfortable...... Also, Tang Yue Shouxiao can't be vegetarian, and there are a lot of vegetarian foods in the mountain family, so it's no wonder she knows it as soon as she tastes it.
"Forget it, get down to business. Dongyang tried to bring the cheap topic back on track, "Father is probably determined how to deal with you." ”
"Huh?" Tang Yue could only ask a soft question from his throat as he ate the soup.
"Father, the emperor went out of the palace in the afternoon to find the eldest princess, it is my aunt and grandmother, and then the eldest princess means Aunt Fang......" Dongyang paused, and a cold look appeared in the corners of his eyes, "It's not a pity to die!"
Tang Yue thought thoughtfully, swallowed the soup and said, "I guessed some." "An aunt has also done such a thing that humiliates the Ping Palace, that is, if Tang Yue doesn't kill her, the eldest princess won't spare her life.
It's just that Tang Yue made the first move.
I picked a bad time to make a move.
"Hmm. Dongyang nodded, "Grandmother Gu means that Bai Jin will not be a person from Pingwangfu, she Pingwangfu does not have such disloyalty, filial piety, benevolence and unrighteousness, forcibly robbing her brother's wife, and the means are inferior, the fox is fake and the tiger is mighty, reckless and ungrateful." ”
Such an evaluation is to nail Bai Jin's back road.
"As for your ......" Dongyang cautiously raised his eyes and glanced at Tang Yue, and saw that her face was no different, so he said, "Tomorrow, my father's will will come, after all, it is to kill someone, even if it is excusable, but the position of the county lord cannot be kept." ”
"It's not a pity to be a thing. Tang Yue shook his head, the plan was half a small one.
"Ah Yue, I want to ask you something. Dongyang said very hesitantly, his eyes lingered on a few maids, and Tang Yue immediately knew in his heart, "You all go down." ”
Waiting for Yang Liu and the others to retreat, Dongyang said, "I want to die in vain." ”
Tang Yue raised his head in astonishment, what's wrong? A few days ago, she wanted Bai Jin to die, and now Dongyang also wants him to die? What did he do? Heaven was angry and resentful? Under the shock, there was still contemplation, and then he was relieved, as long as Bai Li came back alive, the next thing would be to see the move.
"What happened?"
"Do you remember the eldest princess's birthday?" Dongyang tentatively spoke, the tails of her eyes pressed down, her eyebrows twisted into knots, and between the words were all disgust and rejection of Bai Jin. It was too obvious, and it had lost the calmness of the royal Tarzan collapsing in front of him.
"Of course I remember. "That idea was still hers, how could she hope.
"On that day, my father intended to let me marry him...... Dongyang twisted his eyebrows, and under his anger, he lost his former indifference and the noble bearing that he had cultivated for many years.
Tang Yue understood at this time, the co-author emperor really wanted Bai Jin to be the king of Ping......? It's a pity that she won't let them succeed!
"And then?"
"He actually compared me to Wen Jiang! and handed me over!" Dongyang was indignant as soon as he talked about it, "I told my father, but my father only told me not to care, and my mother also said that I can't be too careful, but I can't swallow this breath!"
"Rest assured. Tang Yue didn't take Bai Jin's life and death to heart at all, and still didn't care about scooping Bixia soup and drinking, "He will die." "And his death will not have anything to do with everyone.
She was so light-hearted, and when Dongyang breathed a sigh of relief, he also realized that he had a chill down his spine. Ignoring human life like this, Dongyang now has some doubts about whether Aunt Fang's death is really a problem, rather than killing people in anger as Tang Yue said.
