Chapter 169: Know Your Identity
"But ——。" I wanted to speak and stopped: "Wu Ya, are you really going to leave the planning of the Hundred Flowers Banquet to me?" ”
"That, Niangniang, I'm just talking, you don't have to take it to heart, and besides, I have already taken care of the matter of the Hundred Flowers Banquet." Xiao Wuya looked at me and replied methodically.
"Then, why do you still tell everyone that I will take over the affairs of the Hundred Flowers Banquet." Although I guessed in my heart that there must be a reason for her to do this, but on the face, I still acted stupid and full of confusion.
"Actually, for three years, Wu Ya really misses her mother, and the reason why she stays with her mother is because she wants to reminisce about the old days and talk about it, and in the past three years, she must have experienced a lot of interesting things when she is away, and Wu Ya really seems to listen to it?"
Xiao Wuya's witty words, after saying it, I couldn't help but be stunned on the spot for a moment, Xiao Wuya saw my expression, a little weird, thinking that I didn't believe her words.
So, she hurriedly explained: "Queen Niangniang, don't you know, in the past few years of palace wall life, Wuya feels like a golden peacock in a cage, with inexhaustible glory and status, but without herself, she used to yearn for the most freedom?" ”
"I understand." I nodded slightly, hooked my lips and smiled, and said in a light and melancholy tone: "I understand, in this world, in fact, the only thing that can really release people's hearts is love and freedom.
What high-ranking officials are rich, what power is over the world, but it is a kind of magic obstacle for people with obsessions, nothing more. ”
Xiao Wuya looked at me, her eyes gradually became dirty from clear, and after a long time, she said softly: "Everyone knows that fish and bear's paws cannot be both, but, in Wuya's eyes, these two things were once at your fingertips in front of Niangniang, but, Niangniang, gave up with your own hands?" ”
Xiao Wuya's words sounded a little sighing, as if she was sorry for my past actions, but why, in the depths of her eyes, I read another meaning?
It seems that her subtext is to tell me, since I gave up, why, now, I want to come back again?
I don't know if that's what she meant, or is it that I'm thinking too much and my mind is too sensitive, which has caused me to have a skeptical attitude towards who, what, or what I say?
"Because of the past abandonment, I have no regrets now." No matter what kind of thoughts Xiao Wuya has now, it doesn't matter, whether she can understand the deep meaning of my words.
What I can do now is to stand in front of Dongfang Yu again regardless of everything.
Tell him three words?
I love you.
Xiao Wuya looked at me levelly, smiled meaningfully, and said, "Queen Niangniang, Wuya doesn't understand, since you are back, why don't you stand by Your Majesty's side in the light as you?" Wu Ya thought that if Niang Niang could do this, His Majesty would definitely be very happy. ”
I pursed my lips, noncommittal, but asked in a slow and mournful tone: "Wuya, if you are me, then, after doing so many wrong things, can you still face Your Majesty without guilt and calmly?" ”
Xiao Wuya didn't seem to expect that I would ask rhetorically, so after she was slightly stunned for a moment, she pulled the corners of her lips and said: "Queen Niangniang, don't hide it, if Wuya was Niangniang, she wouldn't have left three years ago, so she wouldn't have such an embarrassing identity today?" ”
After Xiao Wuya finished speaking, her eyes glanced at me with a little melancholy, and finally, after finding that my expression was not abnormal, she continued to say leisurely: "Queen Niangniang, Wuya said this, you won't be angry, right?" ”
"Huh." I laughed stupidly and said, "Am I angry, haven't you already seen it, and, Wuya, you're right, now, my identity is very embarrassing, so in the future, don't call me any more queen mother, so as not to cause any unnecessary trouble, it's not good for you and me?" ”
"Hmm." Xiao Wuya responded thoughtfully, and said: "In the future, Wuya will ask you to pour snow, anyway, this is your new identity now, and I am more handy when I call it." ”
"Hmm." I nodded, no objection.
In the following days, I nominally worked for Xiao Wuya's Hundred Flowers Banquet, but in fact, how could she let me really do this?
So, in the days before the Hundred Flowers Banquet, I lived in a corner of the Zengcheng Palace, because Xiao Wuya did not restrict my freedom, so these days, I will wander around the palace if I have nothing to do.
However, it is also a coincidence, no matter where I go, I can't meet Dongfang Yu?
Sometimes, I can't help but wonder if we are destined to be separated after three years, or is it that he knows from beginning to end that I have returned, but he doesn't want to see me and can't forgive me?
So, for my return, he will be like this, ignore it, but ask, but, again, he will not interfere with everything I do?
Time flies, in a blink of an eye, it is the day of the Hundred Flowers Banquet, today, I deliberately wore a, a turquoise Luo skirt, a Chaoyun near the incense bun, simple and elegant.
When Xiao Wuya saw my dress, a touch of surprise flashed in her beautiful eyes, and then she disappeared in an instant.
"Pouring snow, shall we go to the banquet together?" Xiao Wuya took my hand and invited me in a friendly way.
I pursed my lips, and said in a light and slightly mischievous tone: "Niangniang's status is noble, if I go with Niangniang, I will definitely become the target of public criticism, and I will not be at peace." ”
Although Xiao Wuya knows my identity and is extremely respectful and friendly to me, there is a difference between respect and inferiority, in the eyes of outsiders, I still have to give her enough face.
"Okay, since Dumpling Snow said so, then, this palace is not reluctant." Xiao Wuya seemed to have guessed my thoughts, so I couldn't see the slightest external emotion on her smiling beautiful face.
"Thank you, mother." I skillfully broke free, Xiao Wuya took my arm, arched her hand, bent over, and said gratefully.
"Still." Xiao Wuya didn't care about my promise, but after a pause, her tone was gentle, but she couldn't refuse: "Pouring snow, you go to the Hundred Flowers Banquet alone, this palace is not at ease." ”
Xiao Wuya said, she beckoned, and after a while, there was a palace maid with a delicate appearance and a good figure, who walked over calmly, and said in a respectful tone: "Slave Bichi, I have seen the mother, and I have seen the girl." ”
I smiled slightly, noncommittal, but in my heart, I vaguely guessed what Xiao Wuya meant.
"Dumping snow, Bichi is a clever maid, this palace is a hundred satisfied and assured of her, so, in the future, with her following you, presumably, Dumping Snow will worry a lot less."
Xiao Wuya's meaning is obvious, since she can't refuse, then she has no choice but to accept it gladly.
"Dumping snow and thanking the mother for her love." I am slightly blessed, and I deserve her reward.
The Hundred Flowers Banquet was actually held in Shanglin Yuan, and the distance from the Zengcheng Hall was only a stick of incense.
It's just, I don't know why, perhaps, it's because of psychological factors, because Bi Chi has been following me, so I always feel that she is Xiao Wuya's eyes, with her, she will definitely do something unexpected later.
I know that I shouldn't doubt Xiao Wuya's intentions, but I really can't control myself?
Three years of time, not only did not make the love fade, on the contrary, let the longing get deeper and deeper, the attachment became stronger and stronger, I know that now I am no longer the original.
Because of this, in the dead of night, I often can't help but wonder if I will make Dongfang Yu lose interest.
Seeing that because of love, he has become more and more humble, and the more humble he is, will he be disappointed.
"Miss Cheng, what are you thinking?" Bichi's voice came into my ears quietly, and I suddenly woke up, it turned out that unconsciously, I had been in the same place for a long time.
"Oh, nothing, let's keep walking, shall we?" I curled the corners of my lips and managed to squeeze out a smile.
When Bi Chi saw my expression, he took the first step, leaned in front of me, leaned over, pressed to my ear, and whispered: "Miss Cheng, don't worry, although the slave maid does things for Concubine Xiao, but, in fact, the slave maid is under the orders of Mr. Liao." ”
Obey the orders of Mr. Liao, then, Bi Chi told me very vaguely, won't she have the heart to hurt me?
It's just, her one-sided words, can I believe it?
"Bichi, shall we go?" I smiled at her words, and didn't make any surprised expressions, as if even I couldn't believe it.
Shanglin Garden, Hundred Flowers Banquet, when I arrived with Bichi, it was already full of people.
Because, the purpose of the Hundred Flowers Banquet is for the blind date of the upper class, so here, no one will restrain the talkative behavior of individuals.
Looking at those noble children, and the famous ladies gathered in groups to chat.
I suddenly feel that I am old now?
Swept around slightly, I saw Xue Ke, Du Xinruo them, the corners of their mouths couldn't help but show a smile, when I saw them, they also happened to see me.
Today's Xue Ke wears a light blue Luo skirt, which is very in line with her cold temperament, and Du Xinruo, who wears a pink cardigan skirt, complements her playfulness and cuteness.
"Pouring snow, are you coming?" Xue Ke looked at me with some unconcealed joy in his eyes.
I think she doesn't know the relationship between me and Xiao Wuya, and she must be worried about it these days.
"Well, I'm here." I smiled slightly, and at the same time, Du Xinruo came to my right side, grabbed my arm and said, "Sister Cheng, it's good to see that you're okay." ”
Seeing their sincere eyes, my heart couldn't help but pass through a touch of warmth, "I'm sorry, I've worried you these days." ”
Actually, these days, I would have had the opportunity to find someone to pass on some news to them, but I'm afraid that those people are Xiao Wuya's eyes and ears.
I don't want them to become a pawn and target for others to frame me because of me.
They treat me sincerely, how can I let them fall into a dangerous situation.
It's just that I can't tell them any of this?
