253 Mutual Complaints (and Updates.)
Ruyin's feet seemed to be nailed to the ground, and she couldn't take a step again. It turned out that it was the queen who sent Hongyan to the dragon couch? It turns out that the legendary one-night favor was all arranged by the queen? However, Ruyin didn't know much about the events of the year, what kind of relationship Fu Heng and Hongyan had, she had no one to ask, let alone anyone to confide in, for so many years, it was Fu Heng's Hongyan who was drunk back then, and it was his obvious and secret concern for Hongyan over the years that made Ruyin understand that her husband still had another woman hidden in his heart.
But no matter what happened back then, the queen said this, obviously Fu Heng didn't know that she gave the red face to the emperor, so what would happen if she knew, and she would never be able to be a brother and sister again?
In the house, the queen said: "You step back and take Ruyin back to Pinghu Qiuyue, if you have anything to say, we will talk about it tomorrow." I know this matter, what you did is not wrong, but it is too deliberate and obvious, Concubine Chun must have suspicions, Concubine Shu may wake up one day, you have to think about it in the long run. ”
Hongyan responded, and seeing that the queen had no intention of keeping her, she turned around and came out after saluting. Bypassing the screen, I heard the queen coaxing the little brother over there, but what she saw in her eyes was Ruyin, who was stunned, she covered her mouth in shock, her eyes were facing each other, and her love and resentment were entangled, Ruyin gradually became powerless to look at Hongyan, and when her eyes and body were about to soften, Hongyan rushed forward and took her hand, and walked out of the door with light steps.
Fortunately, there was no one outside the door, they walked all the way outside, Ruyin gradually calmed down, met Qianya, saw Hongyan didn't know how to say good, she tried to open her mouth and smiled: "When I arrived at the door, I met Concubine Niangniang came out, saying that I don't need to go in again, wait for Zi Qianya to say goodbye to Niangniang for me, I will go to Pinghu Qiuyue, and Ming'er will come again." ”
Qianya didn't think much about it at all, smiled and retreated to the side to get out of the way: "It's getting dark, and the slave has already sent the little eunuch to guard outside with a lantern to lead the way for Niangniang and Fujin, please go slowly." ”
Ruyin felt that Hongyan was holding her hand a little harder, she was gently pulled, and followed Hongyan to continue to walk out, Qianya saw them holding hands, and when she came back to the queen, she also smiled: "Concubine Ling and Fujin are really close, they walk hand in hand, like a child." ”
Qianya didn't say it in detail, and the queen didn't think about it, she didn't expect Ruyin to stand outside the door just now, one thought that the masters hadn't met, and the other thought they met outside, the queen just smiled faintly: "This is their fate." ”
The road back to Pinghu Qiuyue has never been as long as today, seven or eight eunuchs will illuminate the road ahead, they hold hands at every step, but Ruyin walks softly under her feet at every step, in fact, everything has not been explained, but she has already felt sadness, why is she so sad in her heart, for herself? Fu Heng? Or is it a red face?
Finally arrived at the autumn moon of Pinghu, and the people of their own family greeted the door, Hongyan asked the cherry to reward the people sent by the Changchun Immortal Pavilion, left them, and pulled Ruyin straight inside, but saw the nurse holding the Buddha waiting under the eaves, and said: "Little princess, look, it's Eniang who is back." ”
A little child, will not express what she wants, but these days will not see the red face will cry, to see her to be happy, although not crying at this time, but the face is very bad, hearing the voice of the nurse, and seeing the familiar face appear in front of him, he squinted and smiled. Hongyan hugged her into her arms, the little doll babbled and made a happy sound, Ruyin is also a mother, as soon as she heard such a movement, she finally had a little energy.
Hongyan has never seen such a Ruyin, for so many years, she has been a cheerful and strong Ruyin by her side silently, and now she doesn't know what words Ruyin heard, but if Fu Heng is involved, she will definitely think of something. Even...... Did Ruyin already know?
Seeing Cherry coming up from the door, Hongyan ordered: "Wait for Fu Jin to wash up, take my clothes for Fu Jin to change, and I will come back after coaxing the little princess to sleep." She smiled at Ruyin again, "I can talk a lot again tonight, I asked them to soak the jar of plum wine in the well, drink it cool and sweet, the heat of the whole day is gone, you wait for me to come back." ”
As she spoke, she took the Buddha to the child's house, and gradually walked away, she knew that Ruyin was behind her, and Hongyan especially wanted to look back at her, but she felt that it seemed that at this moment, she left her back to Ruyin, so that she could take a good look at herself.
When the sisters met again, Hongyan washed and changed her clothes in her daughter's room, Ruyin had also bathed and changed, wearing a red-faced shirt and sitting cross-legged under the window, the fan of the three friends in her hand shook from time to time, she stared at the distant moonlight outside the screen window, the thin moonlight and the flickering candle flame, such a beautiful person, such a peaceful and quiet expression, like a fairy who is beyond the red dust makes people unable to take their eyes off.
Cherry brought people to bring wine and food, and said with a smile when she put it down: "Niangniang and Fujin don't get drunk, this plum wine should also be intoxicating." ”
Hongyan asked her to step back and not have to wait by her side, and let the people outside the door stay away, just leave Xiao Lingzi, sit down and pour wine for Ruyin, and said with a smile: "I don't like to drink, but this cold plum wine is addictive in summer, I have to drink a small glass every night, and the heat of the day is gone." In the past, when I was busy, I couldn't take care of a bite to eat, but now that I am free, I know that there are so many good things to enjoy around me. ”
The conversation box opened, and the two people who were very easy to talk about for a while, talking about wine and moonlight, saying that Shu Concubine said pure concubine, but after eating the food and drinking dry, no one mentioned what happened in Changchun Immortal Pavilion just now.
Hongyan was contradictory, Ruyin was nervous, and she didn't dare to take this step after all. One promised the queen that he would bring the secret into the coffin, while the other knew very little about the past, and was afraid that he would hurt people if he opened his mouth rashly, and no one was as considerate of each other as they were flesh and blood.
Sleeping together at night, Hongyan shook the fan sideways to drive away the heat for Ruyin, the beauty who had eaten wine slept with her eyes closed, the wine dyed her delicate face red, the slightly frowning brows, but she couldn't see what was tangled, Hongyan thought Ruyin was asleep, put down the fan and was about to turn over, but Ruyin suddenly grabbed her hand.
"Didn't you fall asleep?" Hongyan asked softly, but she was so embarrassed to even speak.
"The last time we slept together, it was the emperor's eastern tour last year, and you were drugged in Ningchun Hall." Ruyin still closed her eyes, her crimson eyelids trembled slightly, as if tears would flow out of her eyes in the next moment, "You said you envy me, sister, in fact, it's not envy, it's unwilling, right?" What belongs to me should belong to you? ”
"Ruyin, how should I answer you?" Hongyan was very distressed, even if she didn't do anything, even if she said it clearly to Fu Heng, even if her heart was completely tied to the emperor, but she still existed between Fu Heng and Ruyin, after so many years, Lord Fucha still has an unforgettable old affection for her, Hongyan is not stupid, Fucha Fu Heng understands everything with one look. She couldn't stop Fu Heng from thinking about anything, she could only take Ruyin well, in this relationship that was better than her own sisters, there was also the guilt that she didn't know how long it would take to dissipate.
And she always thought that Ruyin didn't know, and she didn't dare to imagine that a woman would treat another woman in her husband's heart with sincerity. Although it can't be compared, the queen and herself, each other's hearts have long been far away from each other, haven't they?
"That year, I followed Fu Heng into the palace for the first time, and I met my sister on the way, I didn't see your appearance clearly at that time, and I didn't know you, but Fu Heng's eyes stopped at your body and couldn't move away. He even told me who you are very generously, telling me not to believe the rumors in the palace and not to look down on you. ”
Ruyin closed her eyes, her tone was so flat, she took out the saddest thing in her heart, she was calmer than she imagined, but the next moment, tears fell quietly, she said Fu Heng's words after he was drunk, and said Fu Heng's caution in front of her for so many years.
"I know he's going to be careful with me every now and then, especially when it comes to you." Ruyin's tears had already wet the pillow, but she still said so calmly, "If I just think that he can't let you care about you, I will go crazy sooner or later." So I thought, Fu Heng treats everything with his heart because he cares about me and is afraid of hurting me, so that I can feel comfortable, and when I feel sad, I will hug him tightly, knowing that he belongs to me alone in this life, so I can feel at ease. ”
Ruyin slowly opened her eyes, trembled her lips and said, "Did he repeatedly delay the marriage to mourn his relationship with his sister?" Sister...... Did you make a promise to each other for life? ”
Hongyan was so distressed that her throat was blocked, and she tried to swallow the discomfort before she said: "On the day when I was blessed by the emperor overnight, I was waiting for the guests to be sent out of the palace on the way, and I said in high spirits that the queen promised him to give me to him, and he said that he would marry me and treat me well for the rest of his life." ”
Ruyin finally covered her mouth and cried, sure enough, they had a past, but soon heard Hongyan say again: "But I rejected him at the time, I didn't understand anything at that time, a palace maid must abide by her duty, and I don't dare to think about the love between men and women at all, I don't know what I did wrong to make him misunderstand, but I have never been moved, and even before that day, I didn't know that I was liked." Ruyin, it took a year before my heart was placed on the emperor's body, and before that, I just wanted to leave the palace when I was old, and I didn't know what it was like to like someone. ”
"But that night, my sister said, envy me......" Ruyin bit her lip tightly after speaking.
"Yes, but Ruyin, do you know what it's like to be poured medicine down with your teeth stuck in your mouth?" Hongyan's eyes were moist, "How can I not envy you, but I can only endure it for the rest of my life, and I have to endure it for the rest of my life." ”
