Chapter 11: White Moonlight
There is no doubt that Sister still has the dream of Houmen Shenfu, just as I still have the dream of freedom and sincerity, we all have our own obsessions.
The only difference is that I resigned myself to my fate.
Chu Huai came to propose, and I was ready to teach my husband and children.
was designed to be a concubine in King Ling's mansion, so I obeyed the mandate of heaven to be a little wife for others, and managed how many flowers and plants there were in the house, and I just lay down and accepted my fate.
Sister A is different, Sister A always wants the best solution, but it often backfires, and now I hit the big luck and picked up a princess to do, Sister A's optimal solution has inexplicably become my answer - how can she be willing.
Because she was unhappy, after returning to King Ling's mansion, the dinner party was only halfway open, so she left early under the pretext that she was unhappy, and did not say goodbye to her father and brother who were surrounded by groups in the distance, only got into the carriage and set off at night.
I watched my mother at the door to see off my sister's back, a little unbearable, and quietly withdrew from the banquet and chased to the entrance. She happened to turn around, saw me coming, and hurried over again, "It's too late for the guests to entertain, what are you doing here?" ”
Although my eyes were evasive, I could still see the traces of my mother's crying, and I handed the silk towel and asked, "Why did my mother cry?" ”
She turned her head suddenly, she couldn't hold back after all, and burst into tears, "On the day of the big day, I shouldn't have shed tears, but your sister is too difficult," she wiped her cheeks and complained to me, "Prince Ling is very fond of you, and now that you are thriving, you must not know your sister's hardship - her mother-in-law is a hundred satisfied with her, but Chu Huai ...... But there was no affection for her, so she felt very embarrassed to come to the ceremony today...... It's my fault, whether it's life or death, she should have been allowed to break through by herself, it's just that, Ming'er, as a mother, I always hope that you are all well..."
"Mother's hard work, Sister Ah and I both understand," for a long time, I didn't give up, and asked knowingly, "Mother hopes that we are all okay - you are willing to gamble on the fate of everyone in the Zhao family for Sister A's life, so, are you also willing to fight everything for me?" ”
The mother was stunned for a moment, her slightly squinted eyes slowly opened, and the final freeze was exactly the same as Sister A's very amorous apricot eyes, oh That's right, they are really blood thicker than water.
After such a short hesitation, she didn't have to answer, and I knew the answer, but I still didn't know what to do, I would rather time freeze here, and I would like to see with my own eyes how she performed this good show of "intimacy and distance, and there is already a clear difference".
"Don't make such assumptions, you are a safe child, and your mother believes that you can manage yourself—" she said, taking my hand as she always did and patting me lightly twice.
Strangely, her answer was obviously not the answer I wanted, but it was not sad - my mother had always been so delicate and gentle.
I suddenly laughed, relieved and let go. I gently shook my mother's hand, bent my eyes and said, "You're right, I'm sure I'm safe - let's go in, it's never good to stand in the wind." ”
I took my mother's arm, walked like a walk, chatted, and slowly returned to the table.
Nothing has changed, and everything seems to have changed.
My life this time is too "complete" - superficial sisters, superficial parents, superficial husband and wife, it can be regarded as a collection.
As far as the eye can see, at this moment, the father is enjoying the joy of the stars holding the moon, and there is no way to be distracted, and the mother is worried about the daughter who left in a hurry, and she can't help herself.
There is only one brother, who is not stupid and has a bit of sincerity. He saw me go back to the banquet, and secretly pulled me aside, saying that he was very puzzled about my marriage with Sister A, he only remembered that I was married to Chu Huai, and it was Sister A who wanted to be Prince Ling's concubine.
I am silent, your mother knows the ins and outs best.
He was puzzled, but suddenly asked, "How did he treat you?" ”
I nodded, "Not bad—"
"Nice? I don't think it's very good, his attendant just said a few words in his ear, how did he call the horses out of the house, leaving you alone to deal with the guests of the house? ”
Brother, are you really stupid or fake stupid? At this time, the world is sober!
"Xu... Do you have something to be busy? ”
"I don't think so, shouldn't it be that a good friend knows that he has set up a princess today, and he feels uncomfortable, so he makes a fuss, and he goes out to appease, right?"
"......" I choked.
"Don't worry, Ming'er! Brother will clean up the mess with you, with me here, don't be afraid-"
I'm not afraid of anything, I'm just afraid that you will be more sober!
He did what he said, and when the feast was over, he put his drunken father in the carriage, said a few words to his mother, turned his head and turned back.
It was not until late in the evening, when all the guests had left the house and the courtyard was in order, that he left in a carriage.
Before leaving, he did not forget to affirm his conclusion, "Ming'er, maybe I was guessed by my brother - but don't be discouraged, just live your own life, and when I get a reputation in the future, I will definitely be in charge of you!" ”
How do you decide, can you still reach into someone's back house?
Although I was disdainful, but also deeply warm, after he drove the horse away, I only in the help of Xiao Jiu and a few little girls, went to the thick makeup, took off the gorgeous civilian clothes, washed away the fatigue of the body, and fell down on the soft couch.
I don't remember when I fell asleep, but when I woke up again, I saw Zhou Lingqing in a night suit with bloody stings.
When he saw me wake up, he collapsed without hesitation - I didn't take the back pad back of the human body.
Finally, with great difficulty, I got up from under him, and found that my underwear was stained red with the blood from his body—it was lucky that I was still alive after all the blood had flowed like this.
I didn't care about the blood, I quickly took the pill and bandage to stop the bleeding, and took off his shirt like last time, as expected - Zhou Lingqing was really too deadly, this time the wound was made by the sword, almost penetrating the entire chest, I cleaned the wound with gauze, and sighed again at the new and old scars on his body, he was really lucky to be able to live to this day!
When the bleeding stopped, I almost fainted from exhaustion - but I can't faint, this big brother has to be fed a hemostatic pill every half an hour to hang himself! When this guy wakes up, I will discuss with him, for his own health, and for the sake of sparing my dog's life, don't do anything risky again!
But he woke up earlier than I expected, and when I fed him the third pill to stop the bleeding, he opened his eyes slowly, and then tried to reach out his hand, his lips kept squirming, and I had to lean my head over to hear what he was whimpering - but before I could think of it, he raised his hand and gently rubbed my nose back and forth, and said in a breathing voice, "You... You're so embarrassed..."
After speaking, the corners of his mouth twitched, as if he wanted to laugh - I had already said that this man was a ruthless person!
I glanced him up and down and said, "Everybody—"
He didn't have the strength to "wrestle" with me, swallowed the pill, and fell asleep again, sleeping very peacefully - I didn't dare to slack off with my eyelids open in despair, but I was afraid that I would relax, and he didn't come up in one breath, and the body was here, and I couldn't argue with it.
I rubbed my head and looked at his sleeping face boredly, when he didn't speak, when he didn't move, he looked like a gentle gentleman, but only on that face, looking at his body, there were hideous scars, and the face seemed to be two extremes.
After a while, I was very sleepy, and I felt a little trance-how did it look like I had an extra son? shook his head again - it is not uncommon for the old lady to die like this!
"You haven't slept all night?" At about the end of the day, he finally opened his eyes with a frown, and I could no longer express my joy, only nodded heavily.
"Come, come up and sleep—" He patted the inside of the bed with a wave of his left hand, and for a moment I caught a strange softness in his eyes, and without saying a word, I rolled over and lay down.
"You've only been here for more than two months, but you've already treated me three times......" he said, turning his head sideways to stare at me.
"You also know that this is too often, and I hope you will spare your life next time!" I yawned and persuaded.
"I went to the palace and saw a man—" he said calmly.
My eyes widened in an instant, and my sleepiness swept away - he was wearing a night robe, who could he go to see in the palace? I'm afraid it's not that concubine Bai Yueguang, right? Where did my brother go to study, I think he went to study Taoism and predict the future, right? What gossip is more shocking than that of the person involved?
I will listen to you.
"She was wearing the goose-yellow Luo skirt when we first met, standing under the ginkgo tree, with tears in her eyes, but a smile on the corner of her mouth, she said that she was going to be a concubine, and I also had a princess, and everything in the world was contrary to her wishes......"
"Then, the guards patrolling the palace found you, and you fled eastward, she shouted to catch the assassin, the assassin went south, and everyone went south to chase it, and you thought that you had escaped, and you didn't want to have a team of people outside the wall, carelessly, let people poke you with a sword, and then desperately escaped, and finally I suffered for the night——"
I continued his "story".
He bared his teeth and lost the warmth of Fang Cai, "The dog continues to be mink's tail." ”
"But it makes sense, doesn't it? If you want me to say, your Bai Yueguang is really too weak, if I have someone who has to marry, I will definitely fight to the last moment, and it is a big deal to die to seek relief, not to mention, her father is in power, what is the difficulty of refusing a marriage, the worst is that no one will marry, he will die in the mansion, and he will never be a victim of politics, and now there can be such a result, I am afraid that she acquiesces to it......"
There was a sudden and subtle silence in the air, and I realized that I had said some nonsense that I shouldn't have said.
"Fight until the last moment? Isn't Chu Huai worth fighting until the last moment? He looked at me with a torch-like gaze and asked, "Did I say that her father was in power?" Where did you find out? What else do you know? ”
"Listen... I've heard that, Xu is not accurate, ha... Ha ha...... I can't hold it anymore... First... Let's go to sleep first—"
I said as I rolled to the back of the bed and lifted the corpse.
