Chapter 70: The Beginning of the Show (1)
"Slave." Dongli Yuyang called softly, and he couldn't help but reach out to caress her fair face. But he was dodged by the slave with one side head. His hand fell into the air and had to be withdrawn in embarrassment.
The slave bowed and saluted, "Greetings to His Royal Highness!" ”
Dongli Yuyang pursed his lips, as if he wanted to say something. Adam's apple moved, and finally he only said a little lonely, "Do you have to be so alienated from me?" ”
"Mingjia is in the year of marriage, and he also understands the difference between men and women. Your Highness, don't do this again, otherwise it will be bad for you and me. Nu'er didn't dare to look directly at Dongli Yuyang's eyes full of disbelief, she lowered her head slightly, paused, and turned around to leave.
Dongli Yuyang grabbed the slave's wrist, "In that case, why did you accept Kunlun Eye in the first place?" ”
"I ......" The slave was speechless for a while, and she didn't know why, who had always been clever and eloquent.
Seeing this, Dongli Yuyang thought that there was still a chance for things to turn around. As if grasping a life-saving straw, he held the palm of the slave, "I know why you want to alienate me, but I am not afraid of the slave at all, don't be like this, okay?" I'd rather face the storm with you than trade your departure for the peace in front of me. ”
"But I don't want to!" Nu'er endured the inexplicable sourness in her heart, and she shook off Dongli Yuyang's hand, "Your Highness obviously has something that I can't ask for in my life." You have a mother who has a plan for you, you have a noble background, you have a sincere heart, and you will always live under the sun, why should you give up these precious things so easily? ”
"For me? Oh, what is there for you to pay for a person who is arrogant and domineering, and who strives for fame and fortune. Even I don't deserve it for you! ”
"Whoever doesn't have no one will die. Your Highness, I only want you to live the way you want to be. You are indifferent to fame and fortune, have a good heart, and hang the pot to help the world. It is precisely this kind of you that gives me the courage to accept Kunlun Eye, and your life should not change in the slightest because of me. ”
"If you change, in my heart, you won't be Dongli Yuyang."
Nu'er took a deep look at Dongli Yuyang, and the drama said that people who love each other will have heart-rending pain when they are separated. But why didn't she feel the slightest pain in her heart except guilt?
The slave sneered in his heart, it seemed that he was really a cold-blooded and ruthless monster, maybe he didn't have a heart.
She no longer looked at Dongli Yuyang, but turned around resolutely and left without the slightest hesitation. She walked fast, because she couldn't stay in the eyes of Dongli Yuyang full of disappointment, loneliness, and sadness.
Almost running back to the Changqing Palace, she rushed into the dormitory alone and sent off all the palace maids and eunuchs who were waiting. The closed goalkeeper keeps the chasing New Eyebrows and Nanshuang out.
Nanshuang, who had been quiet in the past, frowned, she was worried that the county lord would do something stupid to hurt herself when she first experienced her feelings. was about to open the door and go in, but was stopped by a calm new eyebrow, "Don't go." Rational as the county lord, let her be alone and quiet. ”
"But......" Nanshuang still hesitated.
"I've been with the county lord for three years, and I've never seen her shed tears for anyone." Xinmei glanced in the direction of the door, turned around and gave Nan Shuang a firm look, "She's not an ordinary person. You can't figure it out with ordinary people's minds. ”
Inside the house, Nu'er took out Kunlun Eyes and put them on the dresser. She sat and stared at it for an hour, trying to understand the things of feelings, but how could something that some people could not understand in a lifetime make it easy for her to understand.
For a long time, she still didn't return the Kunlun Eye to Dongli Yuyang after all.
She didn't know why she wanted to keep it, reason told her that she should return it to him, but she hesitated, maybe she thought that keeping Kunlun Eyes was as if there was still a connection between them, and she was not completely lost in the darkness. Kunlun Eye is to preserve the last bit of sunshine in her life, the last trace of goodness, so that she will not be swallowed by the desire for power.
On the second day, the slave appeared in front of everyone with a calm face, as if nothing had happened.
The New Year is approaching, and this is the first time in many years that the queen has organized an annual banquet. Naturally, many things are more elaborate than ever. Within half a month, the people in the embroidery room had already sent the New Year's clothes to the Changqing Palace, and the new eyebrows instructed to hang red lanterns inside and outside to make a joy.
On this day, the noble Ying who was about to give birth suddenly visited with a big belly.
"The concubine came abruptly, but she offended the county lord?"
"What did you say, nobleman? The noble man is now pregnant with the imperial heir, and his status is noble, and it is an honor for Ming Jia to come to Changqing Palace to walk around. It's just that the noble man is about to give birth, and it is said that it should be me who goes to see the nobleman. Nu'er said with a smile.
Ying Guiren lowered her head a little embarrassedly, and she said slowly, "If it weren't for the county lord's reminder, there would be no such child." The grace of the county lord, the concubine has always been in mind. Today, I have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace. ”
"Oh? Tell me, noble, and listen to it. ”
"A few days ago, my maid Miaoyun bumped into Mengsheng of Changmutang and Xiao Zhangzi, the deputy of the Internal Affairs Office. Originally, it was common for palace maids and eunuchs to eat against each other, and the concubines didn't care. It's just that when I went to the plum garden to enjoy the flowers yesterday, I happened to see Xiao Zhangzi hiding something in the rockery. ”
"I didn't dare to alarm him, and after he left, I took a little and sent it to the imperial doctor for examination, and it turned out to be an aphrodisiac. I expected that things would not be simple, and after sending someone to investigate, I found the people in the county lord's palace. ”
Nu'er frowned slightly, "Who?" ”
"Wan Ting." Ying Guiren looked at the slave with a slight worry in his eyes, "The concubine is soft-spoken in the palace, and she can't help the county lord anything." The only thing that can be done is to give the county lord a reminder, so as not to be plotted by others without knowing it. ”
Ying Guiren got up slowly, her belly was already very big, and it was a little inconvenient to even move. She stood up, "This can be regarded as returning the favor of the county lord." Please also take care of the county lord. ”
After the noble Ying left, the slave's brows furrowed even tighter. The New Year's Banquet will be held in the Dream Garden, and the Plum Garden and the Dream Garden are only a few steps away, and the distance is very close. Graceful, dreamy, aphrodisiac. Obviously, Lu Yinhua ruined her innocence in front of the princes and nobles this time.
My good sister, this trick is really bad.
"County Lord, this is a gift from His Majesty for the Chinese New Year this year. Would you like to take a look? Xinmei lifted the curtain and walked in, followed by a few little eunuchs with plates.
Nu'er put away her emotions and smiled instead, "Register and enter the warehouse according to the category, and I will thank Your Majesty another day." She looked at the little eunuch whose fingers were red from the cold, "The wind and snow are big, and you have to go on this trip." Xinmei will take them down to receive some reward money in a while, and then give them a bottle of chilblain medicine. ”
The eunuch below raised his head in disbelief when he heard this, knelt down again and again to thank him, and then left.
Ahem –
"Mother, drink saliva."
"Get out! Get out of the way! ”
Hoarse shouts made the otherwise quiet palace even more silent. The glory of Zhongcui Palace has long since dissipated with the return of the crown prince and the comeback of the queen.
"Sister Concubine De is not in good health, why is she so willful." There was a hint of non-anger and self-authority in the coquettish voice. After the bead curtain, the graceful woman wearing a phoenix crown slowly walked out.
"The Queen, the Queen!" Concubine De saw the two words that were almost squeezed out of her teeth.
The glamorous queen walked slowly to Concubine De's bed with elegant steps, she looked at Concubine De, who was described as a withered concubine, and picked up the medicine bowl that had been cold on the side. Take a silver spoon and gently stir the bitter medicine that has been cold.
"Concubine De is seriously ill in bed, how can she get better if she doesn't take medicine?" As she spoke, she gently scooped a spoonful and sent it to Concubine De's mouth, but Concubine De looked at her hatefully and refused to open her mouth.
The queen was not annoyed, and smiled and withdrew the silver spoon. Said slowly, "How can my sister be good if she doesn't take medicine." If it reaches the ears of King Heng, His Royal Highness King Heng will be worried. What if one of the people gets distracted and loses his life when he kills the enemy on the battlefield. ”
"Poisonous woman!" Concubine De took a sip.
The medicine was sent to Concubine De's mouth again, and a chilling smile appeared on the queen's lips, "In terms of viciousness, how can this palace be as good as my sister?" My son killed the enemy on the battlefield and fought for the country, but you assassinated him, and did not hesitate to elevate the battle for the throne to the battle for the country. You hurt my son, but you also sold Great Xia! ”
"If Sister Concubine De doesn't want King Heng to die on the battlefield, she will obediently listen to the words of this palace. Well? ”
Concubine De looked at the black medicine in the silver spoon, and thought about her son, but in the end she still opened her mouth obediently.
The queen got up and handed the medicine bowl to the palace maid waiting on the side, "Be sure to serve Concubine De and take medicine well." ”
"Queen, what exactly do you want to do?" Concubine De looked at the beautiful woman in front of her, and suddenly felt a chill in her heart, and there was a strong killing intent hidden under her flower-like smile.
The queen chuckled, "Don't worry, I won't let you die." How can you die so easily? I will slowly torture you and avenge my son. Concubine De, Concubine De, I thought you were a smart person, but who would have thought that you were just a frog at the bottom of a well like those people. This Zhongcui Palace is the destination of your life. ”
Half a month later, the New Year's banquet is approaching. On the day the heavy snow stopped, good news came.
The prince led the troops to Liangzhou City.
Dragon's face is happy. You must know that the prince has just recovered, and he has only led the troops to fight for a month to achieve such a good result. Now that the enemy's strength has been sharply reduced, it seems that the day of triumph is approaching.
"County Lord, today is the New Year's Banquet, do you want to wear this red embroidered pleated skirt?" The light of the red lantern shone on the cheeks of the new eyebrows, reflecting like a red apple, but it was very delicate.
"It's the New Year, so naturally you have to dress more festively." Wan Ting walked in with a smile and picked up the comb in front of the dressing table, "County Lord, today I will ask the slave to comb your hair in the best bun of the moment." ”
Since seeing the noble Ying that day, the slave has not been alienated to Huanting, and these days I just want her to relax her vigilance and wait for a big show to be sung today.
"Okay, today is indeed a good day, naturally it will be different from the past." Nu'er said lightly.
It was getting late, and the New Year's banquet officially began.
Two women walked into the Dream Garden one after the other. The former has shy eyebrows, tender veins, and a goose-yellow jacket skirt has earned enough eyeballs. The latter has flamboyant eyebrows, a clever smile, and is dressed in red, which makes people unable to take their eyes off.
This one after the other is the county lord Huashang and Mingjia.
Everyone says that the Lu family has a good daughter, all of whom are smart and pretty.
Lu Yinhua sat in the seat with a smile, she was silently waiting for the start of today's show.
