Chapter Twenty-Nine: Kindness Helps Xiao Cainu
After everyone left, Gong Que did sleep.
She dreamed of Mencius again, and when she was in really uncomfortable pain before, she would always cry out.
Every time, he would laugh at her next to her.
"The goddess has lived for so long, are you still afraid of pain?"
After laughing, he would hold her again and coax her softly: "Sister Gongque, a tear, a star in the sky, and a little cinnabar mole of mine." β
He said: Don't cry, I feel sorry for you crying, you see, it hurts.
Mencius was accustomed to coaxing her with these rhetoric, but she believed it, and her heart was penetrated.
If it weren't for the fact that the goddess wouldn't die, she must have become a ghost under his sword, right?
The heart was heavy, and the palace was hard to wake up.
But to be precise, she was woken up crying.
It's not that she's crying, it's someone hiding outside the palace gate and crying secretly.
Suspicious in his heart, Gong Que dragged the sick body and simply put on a piece of clothing and walked towards the door.
Gong Lin teaches people to see it loosely, and there will basically be no caretaker on this side of Yongxu Palace at night.
The night spread like smoke everywhere, and it was pitch black everywhere.
The eyes were a little blurry, and the palace was a little more pretentious, and he saw a ball of pink hiding in the corner of the wall that no one cared about, crying tactfully.
She looked at the mass and said in a friendly voice: "Hello? β
Realizing that he had been discovered, the man quickly wiped away two handfuls of tears.
got up and looked back, and saw that the little man was relieved: "The concubine meets the third princess." β
Gong Que was puzzled: "Have you seen me?" β
The man shook his head slightly: "The concubine has just heard of the princess's name." β
The eldest princess and the second princess have all seen one or two sides, but the little girl in front of her looked at Mian Sheng, thinking that she was the third princess who became famous overnight.
From her words, Gong Que knew which aunt she should be, but who was it......
I don't know.
"Why is my aunt crying here?" Gong Que tried to squat down, but he was really dizzy and nauseous, so he simply sat cross-legged on the ground.
Feeling that the little princess in front of her was not malicious, Xiao Cainu wiped the tears on her cheeks, choked and said: "The princess doesn't know, since ancient times, there has been a rule in Xuanyue Kingdom, the concubine who has been in the palace for three years and is not favored has to go to the imperial mausoleum, seeing that the three-year period is over, I can't even see the face of the saint, I ......"
As soon as she said this, she began to cry again, and her shoulders trembled, which was distressing to see.
"Auntie, there's no way for you to cry here." Gong Que sucked his breathless nose, and his voice was a little hoarse, "Why don't you find Si Zhenfang, Si Maker Room, and add some hairpin skirts?" β
As soon as she heard this, Xiao Cainu burst into tears when she thought of the poverty in her family.
"I'm not like other mothers' families, my family is solid, my father is just a small magistrate, where can I have the money to buy a dress for me?" Xiao Cainu kept wiping away her tears, and her voice was helpless to the extreme, "That's it, that's it, maybe this is my life." β
Her eyes were swollen with tears, like ripe peaches, and her voice was hoarse like fine sand rubbed by water.
Gong Que lowered her head and was silent, and after a long time, she looked up at the silver hairpin on Xiao Cainu's head as if she had thought of something.
"Auntie, the hairpin on your head is so beautiful, can you take a look at it later?"
When Xiao Cainu heard her words, she was stunned for a moment, then pulled out the silver hairpin on her head and gave it to her, and the pimples formed by the two eyebrows were locked together-
"Princess, this is just the most ordinary hairpin, what's so beautiful?"
Gong Que ignored her negative emotions, repeatedly played with the simple silver hairpin in his hand, and some pale little mouths stubbornly pursed into a slit.
It wasn't until she thought of a way that she whispered to the person in front of her: "Auntie, there is a way for a long time, I will send the hairpin to your house another day, and ask my aunt to go back to the palace to wait for good news." β
At this time, Xiao Cainu had already lost all her thoughts, and when she heard Gong Que say this, she also had an extremely distrustful attitude.
But no matter what, this is her only chance, either to believe in the child in front of her once, or to go directly to the imperial tomb.
She is not stupid, so she naturally chooses the former.
Although she doesn't have much chance of winning.
"That'...... Please, the third princess. Xiao Cainu looked weakly at the hairpin in Gong Que's hand.
Although she didn't expect much of this little hairpin to save her life, it was the last straw in her hand.
Hearing Xiao Cainu's approval, Gong Que bowed: "Okay, I'll ask someone to send this hairpin back another day, I don't know which palace my aunt lives in?" β
"Pear Rain Palace."
"Okay, it's not too early this day, the night is heavy, auntie, please go back."
Xiao Cainu nodded slightly, turned around and walked towards the long alley, and looked back at the hairpin in Gong Que's hand step by step before leaving.
It was only at the end that she let out a long sigh and walked away without looking back.
Seeing that Xiao Cainu's figure was gradually engulfed by the night, Gong Que stood up against the wall and gathered the robe on his body.
It's time for her to go back, too.
β¦β¦
On the afternoon of the second day, Xiao Cainu received a silver hairpin sent by the palace messenger.
There is nothing remarkable about it except for the pearls on it.
I knew that there was no good way for that little girl, Xiao Cainu thought dejectedly.
Yu'er saw her appearance and knew that the girl in front of her didn't understand her princess's thoughts, and was just about to say something, but she thought that her princess had told her not to tell the special features of this hairpin, so she closed her mouth again.
"That's it, it's my life like this, I can't complain about it, and I can't help it." Xiao Cainu wrapped the silver hairpin in a silk handkerchief, and smiled bitterly at Yu'er, "Thank you for me, the third princess." β
Yu'er nodded, and then instructed: "My princess said that the emperor will go to the imperial garden tonight to enjoy the flowers, so that you can take this hairpin with you, it is best to wear plain clothes, so that it will be more compatible with this hairpin." β
Imperial Garden?
A glimmer of light appeared in Xiao Cainu's godless eyes, and her voice was eager and happy: "The princess is saying that the emperor will go to the imperial garden at night?" So that I can meet the emperor?!! β
Yu'er smiled politely: "Please don't let down the third princess's heart, remember to bring this hairpin, otherwise even the princess won't be able to save you." β
"Okay, I'll definitely bring it, and please thank the third princess for my kindness!" Xiao Cainu half lifted the hairpin, and couldn't stop looking at it as if she was looking at a baby, and the smile was about to overflow her eyebrows.
"Then the slave and maid took their leave."
People on this side are happy, but people on the other side are waiting for news.
Gong Que stood beside the bed, wearing only a profane garment.
The window was opened, and the cold wind poured in, choking her coughing.
For the hairpin, she didn't sleep all night, and I don't know how much effort she put in, so that her eyes are now dry and astringent, and she can't even see things clearly.
I don't know whose voice it isβ
"Princess, Sister Yu'er is back."
Then she heard the hurried footsteps coming towards her, and then closed the window, and said coquettishly: "Princess, how many times have you said that you can't blow a cool breeze when you are sick, I don't think you want to be sick!" β
Gong Que stuck out his tongue with a fluke mentality.
"By the way, the things you sent Yu'er to Yu'er have already been delivered," Yu'er thought for a while, and added, "Xiao Cainu said thank you for your kindness." β
"yes, I see." Gong Que nodded slightly, only to feel that his brain was groggy and his headache was splitting.
Perhaps, she can get a good night's sleep now.
Thinking so, Gong Que staggered to the bedside.
The dazzling dazzle of the world swirled up in an instant, and his face was pale and almost transparent. The long eyelashes hung down on the face, and the lip flaps were bloodless.
It was suddenly dark in front of her, and Gong Que felt that everything in the world had nothing to do with her, except for the eager voice in her ear: "Princess! β
The voice landed, and Gong Que's thin and petite body suddenly fell.
