Chapter 883: Farewell (4)
Mingzhu chose a quiet and chic small courtyard near the palace for Ji Hui, so that Ji Hui could quickly ask for help from the palace when she had something. But to her surprise, Ji Hui refused, for the following reasons: Ji Hui herself has an industry in Beijing.
Ji Hui said: "When the folk girl entered Beijing, her father was worried, so he asked someone to accompany and escort the folk girl into Beijing, and set up the property, and the folk girl could move in with the package." ”
Mingzhu didn't force her, but said: "Where do you live, you should have someone come over and explain the address, so as not to find you if something is wrong." ”
Ji Hui said with a smile: "When the folk girl settles down, the first thing is to explain to the princess." If the princess is free, she will also invite the princess to sit down, so that no one will dare to make trouble. ”
Mingzhu said with a smile: "Then I will go to congratulate you on your housewarming." ”
There are palace people who tugged at their sleeves in embarrassment, and Ji Hui said lightly: "What's the matter?" Her tone was gentle and cordial, but the palace people did not dare to have any disrespect, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty came to visit the Empress Dowager." ”
The next thing is to come over for tea and talk, Mingzhu and Ji Hui both know it, and Mingzhu took the initiative to get up: "I still have to go to see the Queen Mother, so I will leave first." ”
Ji Hui sent her to the door and went back to prepare, Mingzhu didn't know what mood the little emperor always came to Ji Hui, but she knew that the little emperor would be embarrassed if he met her here, so she deliberately took a detour.
Who knew that he met Yu Wenguang halfway through, and it turned out that he also deliberately detoured with the intention of not wanting to meet Mingzhu, but he happened to run into each other in two clicks, so he was a little embarrassed and surprised. Mingzhu saluted Yuwenguang as usual, and Yuwenguang greeted him cordially, and then walked forward, why should they continue to do it.
Yu Wenguang saw the box in front of Ji Hui's desk, and he immediately understood that she was leaving, and this box was deliberately put out for him to see, which was a very euphemistic expression. He wanted to ask her if she would like to stay with him, although she was a few years older than him, age was never a problem, as long as they didn't care about each other, what was it?
So he opened his mouth: "I remember that you once said that the winter snow in the palace is very beautiful, and now it is autumn, and it will be winter snow soon." Shall I invite you to eat the roasted deer breast? ”
Ji Hui hesitated for a moment, and said very embarrassedly: "Thank you, Lord Longen, it's a pity that the people's daughter is not blessed, the mother is seriously ill, and the father sent a letter to ask the people's daughter to go back and fulfill her filial piety." ”
Yu Wenguang didn't speak again, although he was young, he was not stupid, he understood that this was a refusal, and she didn't want to stay by his side. Before, he hadn't even heard of the rumors that she was going back to the Northland, and Yu Wenchu probably felt that this was a trivial matter, and there was no need to talk to him in detail, or there were too many things to forget to tell him; And Ji Hui often meets with him, but never mentions it, which is abnormal.
It means that she knows very well what he loves her, but she is unwilling or even afraid that he will keep her because of this, so he becomes the last person to know. It's embarrassing and painful at the same time.
Ji Hui saw that Yu Wenguang was silent, and knelt down for him without saying a word: "I hope Your Majesty will be fulfilled." ”
Yu Wenguang raised his head and looked out the window, and said indifferently: "If I have to keep you, I may not be able to do it, the Sixth Emperor Uncle will always give me this face." But forget it, you shouldn't have been dragged into the water like me and trapped within the walls for the rest of your life. ”
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty." Ji Hui was quite ashamed, but she didn't regret it.
Yu Wenguang was borless, got up and went out: "There is nothing to be sorry for, people go to high places and water flows to low places, this is human nature, I wish you all the best." I'm just a ......," he chose one word, "It's just that Sister Ji is regarded as a learned teacher." ”
Ji Hui wanted to shout to stop him, but she still kept her mouth shut, so Yu Wenguang walked farther and farther, and finally couldn't see it again. Ji Hui turned around and calmly instructed Xiao Nuniang: "Continue to pack up your things, the sooner the better." ”
Fu Zifei squatted in the courtyard to boil medicine for the Empress Dowager, originally there were special people to do this kind of thing, but she was afraid that someone would send the Empress Dowager away directly, so that she would lose the last barrier, so she had to hold this matter firmly in her hands, and even Mulberry and Aunt Mu didn't trust it.
When she saw Mingzhu coming, she subconsciously shrank back, turned around, and turned her back to Mingzhu. She thought that Mingzhu would come over and step on her a few feet, and humiliate her by the way, but who knew that Mingzhu didn't look at her, and walked directly past her and went to Aunt Mu.
This made Fu Zifei's mood very depressed. It's annoying to be taken seriously and chased and killed, but being scorned and ignored hurts self-esteem even more, which means that the other party doesn't take her seriously and treat her as an opponent of the same level, she has been kicked out, and she is not even qualified to be retaliated against. She clung to the fire so hard that tears kept flowing down, why should she be so unlucky?
Mingzhu stood in front of the bed and looked at the unconscious Empress Dowager, who had exhausted her last energy and was basically waiting for that moment to come. Jiang Zhouzi said that it was actually very painful for her to have that thing in her head, and she refused to take the full medicine, which meant that she was actually struggling with pain every moment, and it was painful and unpleasant, and it was inevitable that she would have an abnormal temperament, tyrannical and narrow-minded, and of course her methods would be more vicious.
Mingzhu was very disapproving and disgusted with the tactics adopted by the Empress Dowager in the later period, but she admired the Empress Dowager's forbearance. This forbearance is actually very similar to Fu Cong, she thought of the uncle who would rather return to his hometown to live in seclusion than give in to his siblings, and gambled for decades, and felt that they were really worthy of being siblings.
Aunt Mu brought Mingzhu her favorite green phoenix marrow, and Mingzhu asked about the Empress Dowager's life and illness as usual, whether there were any problems that needed to be solved, and so on.
"There's everything here, and the princess doesn't have to worry about it." Aunt Mu was calm, Yu Wenchu did not deduct the Empress Dowager's degree, nor did she let people come here to disturb, on the contrary, Changxin Palace was generous, and everything was the best. He knows how to settle accounts too well, and he will not do this kind of petty family, which will attract criticism and disgust if he is not careful.
Mingzhu didn't drink tea and got up to leave.
Aunt Mu saw the Empress Dowager's hand on the outside of the quilt, so she carefully took it in, and suddenly saw the Empress Dowager open her eyes and look at Mingzhu's back in a daze. Aunt Mu sighed and asked in a low voice, "The slave maid will keep the regent for a while?" ”
The Empress Dowager said faintly: "No." ”
Aunt Mu leaned over and pressed her lips to hear clearly, and tears came: "Niangniang, why is this? ”
The Empress Dowager had no strength to shake her head, and closed her eyes tiredly.
