127. People's hearts change
Li Dan's gaze swept over, but Hui An seemed to be more scared, and hurriedly squatted down. The ground was covered with long-plush lichen, and the cup was still intact when it landed, except that the water inside spilled out, leaving a large mark on the lichen. Hui An wiped it a few times with her hand, but she couldn't wipe it off, and she was so anxious that she was about to cry.
You'an stretched out her hand to pull her up, but Hui'an refused, not knowing whether she was muttering to Li Dan or You'an: "I didn't mean to...... I ......"
Li Dan's face became even more gloomy, and his lips were tightly pursed, like a line cut by a knife. He was about to speak, Hongni had already hurried in and bowed to him: "Your Highness......" She swept around the few people in the house, and then she probably knew what was going on, and stepped forward to ask Hui'an to go back first.
You'an stopped Hongni's movements: "I don't have anything to do on weekdays anyway, so let my sister come to accompany me from time to time." β
Hongni didn't dare to make his own decisions about this matter, and glanced at Li Dan. Li Dan just waved his hand lightly: "Take her back to rest first, and talk about the rest later." Hongni didn't dare to say anything more, so he stepped forward and took Hui'an away, and before going out, Hui'an's eyes were still reluctantly falling on You'an's face.
After the door closed, there was silence in the room, and You'an looked at Li Dan silently, not knowing where to start. She also knew in her heart that it would be too strange if all three of them were here, but Li Dan's insistence on not allowing Hui An to come still made her feel uncomfortable.
The two were only a few steps apart, but neither of them took a step closer first, and after a long time, Li Dan sighed helplessly, beckoned to You'an, and said, "Come here." β
You'an moved his steps slowly and walked in front of Li Dan, Li Dan stretched out his hand and pulled her, enclosing her in his arms. You'an struggled a few times awkwardly, but was firmly held down by Li Dan, and finally stopped moving.
"Gu Hui thinks about it and arranges a suitable place for her," Li Dan put his chin on the top of You'an's head, "It's just that this matter is in a hurry now, let's wait a minute." β
Youan wrapped her arms around his waist and pressed the side of her face against his chest. She also knew that how to settle this sister was really difficult. She is already the prince's concubine, and no matter what she actually is, she can't marry someone else. If she is a little more resolute, she can also be allowed to leave the house and live separately, or open a Taoist temple to practice away from home like a noble girl who does not want to be restrained, as long as she is more lenient in terms of money, her life is still very free, but unfortunately she is the one who can't support the faΓ§ade at all.
Li Dan wanted to say something, but when he saw You'an looking at Hui'an when he entered the door, he couldn't help it. He himself has a very good relationship with several brothers, so he naturally knows what kind of brotherhood that look represents.
Early the next morning, when You'an got up, Li Dan had already gone out. Red Clay heard her noise and came in to help her with her make-up.
You'an knew that Li Dan would hand over many trivial matters in the inner house to Hongni for arrangement, and he was embarrassed to treat her as a close servant, and when he saw that she took a peach wood comb to help him tie his hair, he said: "Just call any skillful maid to do these things, you don't have to do it yourself." β
It was a polite remark, but it made Hongni a little mistaken, just thinking that she was not happy to invite Hui'an away yesterday.
Hongni still stepped forward to comb her hair as usual, and explained to her gently: "These close things were specially told by His Highness to take matters into my own hands. Although the other servants have also been carefully selected, there is no guarantee that they are absolutely loyal and reliable, and if they are handled by people with ulterior motives in grooming, eating, and daily necessities, the consequences are too difficult to predict. β
This concern is also reasonable, when You'an himself served in front of the Queen of Heaven, he also wrote a draft edict while personally passing on the three meals of the Queen of Heaven.
In the middle of the bronze mirror, You'an's black hair was split into two halves, twisted and twisted into a shape like a cloud stacked. Hongni flew like a butterfly with both hands, and said to You'an: "Knowing people is the most difficult, not everyone is born with bad intentions, some people look cowardly and timid when they first come, thinking that she doesn't have the courage to do anything, but after a long time, after seeing more things, her thoughts will change." What I didn't dare to do before, I dared to do later. β
You'an smiled dumbly, what Hongni said was not wrong at all, so she had been in the Inner Hongwen Pavilion for many years, and there was only one Su Bingqing who was personally recommended and promoted.
The red clay looked through the flat bronze mirror, looked at the finished bun, and also looked at You'an's face, I don't know how much she listened to those words.
When the first snow finally fell in Chang'an, You'an received an invitation from the palace, and the crown princess Wei Xiu'er invited her to sit in the palace, and by the way, she also invited several other female relatives in Beijing.
Although she used to talk to Wei Xiuer when she was in the palace, this time she received a formal invitation, so she was not too casual. You'an chose a jar of good wine from Li Dan's private collection as a gift and took the car into the palace.
Except for You'an, the rest of the guests are all officials of the court and the central government or the wives of royal clansmen, and their backgrounds are also countable famous families. But as soon as Wei Xiu'er heard the palace maid's report, she gave up the one who was talking to her and went out to greet her in person. On the stone steps, Wei Xiu'er walked down a few steps, took You'an's hand, and pulled her in.
When she walked among several female dependents, Wei Xiuer said: "I'm really sorry, it's just that An Niang and I used to be in the palace H2."
