CHAPTER XLII

I hesitated for a moment and staggered over.

When he saw me like this, he suddenly laughed and said, "The way you have your hairpin is quite charming!" ”

I glared at him fiercely, thinking that I have charm at all times, but you are blind!

When he looked at me, he laughed out loud: "It's obviously a little tiger, but it's a kitten here." ”

That's how he described it! I took a deep breath and secretly explained myself that I couldn't meet him like him!

He smiled and turned around, I never knew he would smile so well, there seemed to be a colorful light flowing in his eyes, his hand stroked my hair, I inadvertently dodged, his eyes dimmed, I didn't dare to move again, his hand finally stroked my hair.

I watched the hair slip gently between his fingers, but he seemed to be enjoying it and having fun. After a while, I couldn't sit still, and he finally let out a long sigh and took my hairpin off with a movement of his hand.

"This is the Queen's reward!" I was shocked, I was afraid that he would take the smuggling treasure, and how would I be able to explain it after that.

He laughed out loud, his face full of disapproval, but he still handed me the hairpin, took out a delicate and transparent Hetian jade hairpin from the placket, and put it on my head.

What is this! I tried to take it off, but he grabbed my hand.

I pulled back, but I couldn't pull it anyway.

"Don't take it off!" There was a hint of bitterness in his expression, I was taken aback, this kind of expression could never appear on the face of a person like him, my heart softened, and the raised hand finally let go.

He looked at me silently for a while, finally got up, took two steps, and stopped to look back at me: "He Zhengqing has been given marriage by the emperor, and it is Princess Jiayi." It's okay for you not to go to him, lest you ruin his reputation! ”

My heart suddenly felt like it was hit by something, I didn't like He Zhengqing, and I was even happy that Jiayi could marry him as she wished. But when I look at the people around me who are easily controlled by others but are powerless to resist, I have a strong fear, this fear is not the kind of birth and death in my previous life can be replaced, after all, at that time, the precarious life was just a choice for me, just a cold killing, without the slightest tie, no one will affect my emotions, all I can do is to protect myself as much as possible, and now, in this luxurious palace, I don't need to go through bullets and bullets, and even full of warmth and affection, However, it is this kind of fluttering manipulation of fate between words that makes people even more desperate......

He looked at me as lost and depressed, and his eyes were filled with anger: "You really like him!" ”

I suddenly thought of He Zhengqing's strange behavior that day, suddenly thought of his tears, and then thought of Hao Xi's pain, I seemed to suddenly fall into the ice cave, the cold rushed into the back of my neck, and then flowed along the blood all over my body, and finally crashed into my heart, and I couldn't breathe in pain! Suddenly, I couldn't suppress my anger anymore, I grabbed the hairpin on my head and threw it in front of him, I couldn't stand this cold bastard in front of me, manipulating the fate of others for my own selfishness, I said angrily: "I like him? What if I like him?! Even if He Zhengqing is not a royal grandson, he is a righteous gentleman, unlike you! Ling Haoxuan, do you know how much I hate you! I hate the way you look self-righteous! I hate that you hurt others for your own selfishness! I hate you pretentious! I hate that you still show mercy when you have a princess! What do you think I am? What are you when I am?! ”

I stared at him tightly, tears falling wildly, I thought, all the grievances in my heart over the years finally broke out at this moment! I don't want to see this man in front of me anymore, I don't want him to control my life anymore! I ran like crazy until I passed out in front of the compound.

In a daze, I vaguely noticed him picking me up and putting me on my bed, and then, with sad eyes, holding my hand and whispering, "What should I do with you?" Don't you really know? Since I met you, how can I have any other woman in my eyes! ”

In my consciousness, there are many people coming in and out, but I no longer have the energy to deal with it, and the sand in my life is flowing down a little bit, as if all the good things in my life are peeled away in my body little by little......

After I got better, I moved to my aunt's bedroom, in the emperor's words, my illness was caused by my youth and disregard for myself, and he asked my aunt to choose a special imperial doctor to recuperate for me, I wondered if he was worried that I would die early like my mother. Anyway, since I moved into my aunt's bedroom, no one dares to disturb me anymore, I have two hairpins in my hands, one is the one I found next to the pillow after I woke up, it is the one that Ling Haoxuan gave me, I am very strange, I fell hard, the hairpin is not broken! The other is sent by Ling Haoqian, a purple jade hosta, and the hairpin is carved into a magnolia style, which I like very much.

In fact, Ling Haoxi also gave me a piece of jewelry, which is a gold silk inlaid ruby double luan dotted emerald step. I thought it was too cumbersome, so I put it on the shelf and waited for a formal occasion to wear it.

He Zhengqing gave me a set of ancient books, he knew that I love to read, specially for me to find it, I was very happy, and then thought that he was going to get married but didn't give him anything, I thought about it, he likes to read the most, and he is bound to enter politics, why not give him a book? I searched through the memory bank, and finally decided to go to "Zhenguan Political Leaders" to find some words of governing the country, and change the form to record them, in the hope of helping him in his way of being an official.

Now that I had made a decision, I began to prepare, and I was bored in the study every day, and I was even more lazy to go out, but fortunately, everyone knew the news of my illness, and because of the identity of the queen, no one came to disturb me!

I wrote carefully for more than a month, and finally finished writing the chapters I liked, I saw the fruits of my labor, I was very happy, and called Huaibi to give me a serious freshening up before going out.

He Zhengqing didn't expect me to come to him, he was really taken aback when he saw me, it seems that he has not had a good time this month, his face is pale, and he is described as thin, I am a little worried.

"What's wrong with you?" I looked around and saw that no one dared to ask.

"Ruo'er, are you better? Can you hold up your body like this? His expression was a little dazed, and he didn't seem to accept the reality that I had come to see him, and looked at me seriously several times before stopping!

I smiled: "Where is it so weak!" I've just got a gift for you, and I've been busy these days! ”

He didn't seem to believe it very much, his eyes looked back on me for a long time, and when he saw my natural face, he put his mind at ease: "I went to the queen mother several times to ask for orders, but I refused on the grounds that you were unwell, and I couldn't get any news outside. However, my heart was finally uneasy, why did I suddenly fall ill? He pulled me to sit down and brought me a cushion behind me.

"I didn't sleep well the night before, and I was busy with the ceremony during the day, so I was tired!" I don't want him to know the reason and deal with him.

He obviously didn't believe it, and was silent for a moment before he spoke: "How did I hear that King Rui sent you back?" ”

I blinked and casually made up a reason: "Didn't he go to the ceremony?" It just happened to happen! ”

Although he didn't believe it, he also saw that I didn't want to tell him, and let out a long sigh: "Don't do this again in the future!" ”

I nodded, and took out the gift as if offering a treasure: "Look! Give you a gift! ”

He took it suspiciously, opened it and saw a thick book in front of him, and he turned the pages to it, and the surprise on his face became more and more abundant, and then overflowed with a full.

"Did you write all this?" He was taken aback and looked at me in disbelief.

"Can you be quieter!" I covered his mouth, "Don't you know my words?!" ”

"How can you write such a grand masterpiece?" He asked incredulously.

"Who to underestimate! This girl has everything in her heart! I teased him and reminded him, "Don't you tell people that I wrote it, did you hear it?" ”

"Why? Why do you have such great talents, why should you succumb to the inner courtyard of the deep palace? His face was even more ugly.

"Do you think I'm willing?!" I reluctantly asked, "Isn't this the limitation of the times?" ”

"What did you say?" He didn't hear me clearly and asked me, "What are the limitations?" ”

I didn't bother to talk to him, and I told him a few more words before I stopped.

The atmosphere was a little heavy for a while, he looked at me silently for a long time, and finally mustered up the courage to speak: "Ruo'er, the emperor's will has come down, and next month, Princess Jiayi will marry me." ”

I pursed my lips, although I already knew the news, and I was sincerely happy for the two of them, but I was still a little unbearable to see his pale face, so I had to nod.

"Do you already know?" He asked me suddenly, his eyes full of light: "Your sick ......"

I think he should have misunderstood something, but when I looked at the hope, pain, anxiety, and helplessness in his eyes, I suddenly felt that those misunderstandings were not important, and after a while, I finally spoke: "I don't want to mention everything in the past, I just hope that you and Jiayi can work together for a long time." ”

"I've finally failed you!" He sat down in his chair, the afternoon sun shining through the door of his study, and he sat in the shadow of the backlight, revealing an indescribable gloom......
