Chapter 6 Consume the Haggard 6
The autumn rain has been falling continuously for several days, and these days, I have turned day and night upside down just to catch out an embroidery of mandarin ducks playing. Today, after those few stitches, it's done.
The last stitch, under my skillful hands, a profound embroidery is completed, two lingering mandarin ducks, a pond, full of water lilies blooming when it is gorgeous, both real and illusory.
The two lines of words embroidered on the side - how to die if you have to be a match, I am willing to be a mandarin duck and not envy the immortals, and the needles are hard and meticulous.
Stroking the beautiful scenery I showed, I smiled, staring at it and staring at it.
"The Divine Decree has arrived!" Father-in-law's voice came in from outside the house, and my whole body trembled suddenly, and the movement of my hand was careless, piercing my fingers, and suddenly red blood appeared, dyeing the embroidery a bright red.
I sat motionless on the wooden bench, unwilling to get up, this holy decree, is Liuyun going to marry me to Haoxuan?
The rain outside the house was dripping non-stop, mixed with the sound of footsteps becoming clearer and clearer, I slowly stood up, turned around, and watched Grandpa Yu and the two eunuchs step into the doorway.
Father-in-law Yu raised his eyebrows, very puzzled, maybe even he didn't expect that the emperor would issue such a holy decree, after exhaling a breath, he stared at me, and finally spoke: "Chu Zhen Luo took the decree." ”
I showed a wry smile and slowly knelt down, "Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict...", I couldn't listen to any of the words in the back.
After reading the decree, Father-in-law Yu put away the scroll and handed it to me, "Take the decree!" Miss Liu. ”
I stretched out my trembling hands to take it, stood up from the ground, and whispered to Grandpa Yu: "Where is the emperor, I want to see the emperor." ”
Gonggong Yu was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly, "The emperor has been in poor health recently, and no one has seen him, so Miss Liu should dispel this idea!" ”
"He's sick?" I was suddenly startled and said eagerly: "What's going on now?" Luckily? ”
Miss Liu is still thinking about the emperor, and the miscellaneous family is very pleased, the emperor has a doctor to take care of her, and she is not in the way, so the girl can rest assured. The Mid-Autumn Festival is also the time when the girl marries the prince of Ding'an, and there are still five days before the wedding, so the girl should be more prepared. Father-in-law Yu said this respectfully, and his slightly calmed mind was raised again, Mid-Autumn Festival, my father's and mother's sacrifice day, Liuyun actually intended to let me get married on this day, he did it on purpose? Or is it unintentional?
I must not marry on my parents' memorial day, this is an unfilial act, how can it.
"Father-in-law Yu, can you go back to the emperor, forgive me for being disobedient, can I ask the emperor to arrange other days." I looked at the drizzle outside the window and spit out indifferently.
Gonggong Yu disagreed, and only said: "The emperor's holy decree must not be violated by anyone." Besides, what is called Jun Wu jokes, presumably Miss Liu knows better than anyone else. The miscellaneous family has already conveyed the holy decree, so they will go back to resume their lives first. After finishing speaking, he turned around and left melodiously.
"Father-in-law!" I whispered, and Grandpa Yu stopped his steps and turned to look at me, "What else is wrong with Miss Liu?" ”
I walked to the table and folded the embroidery I had just completed, and then held it in front of him, "Father-in-law, I bother you, give this to the emperor." ”
Father-in-law Yu glanced at me, hesitated a little, paused and reached out to take it, "The miscellaneous family must be handed over to the emperor, Miss Liu rest assured." ”
I bowed my head, "Zhen Luo, thank your father-in-law first." ”
Father-in-law Yu nodded slightly, and left with the two eunuchs behind him.
It's still raining heavily.
That embroidery is my last gift to Liuyun! I vaguely remember that three years ago, the pond, those lotus flowers, and our first chance encounter.
At that time, if we hadn't met, would it have been a different situation?
At night, slightly cool, I deceived Yue'er and Xilian, casually put on a folding umbrella, and went straight to the pond where Liuyun and I first met. The meaning of that pair of embroidery could not be clearer, that pair of mandarin ducks is me and Liuyun.
If he understands it, he will understand that I want to be paired with him, and those two lines of poetry are exactly what I want to say to him now.
As long as he still has me in his heart, he will definitely come here tonight, he will come to see me.
In the drizzle, I am full of confidence, I believe that he still has mine in his heart, and I also believe that everything he does is a last resort.
The atmosphere tonight is faintly cool, but my heart is as hot as dry.
As the clock ticked by, I became more and more anxious, and my breathing was no longer steady, but a little short. Will he come? Will it?
I didn't wait for the person until I was close to the child, and I stood all night, my legs were already numb, but I still held on to that expectation and refused to leave for a moment.
The folding umbrella slipped from his hand and landed on the wet ground with a slight splash, he won't come, he won't.
Let the rain wash my whole body, flowing clouds, are you really stingy with me, and you have no feelings for me?
I crouched down, unable to control my disappointment, and sobbed softly. Again, experience what it means to be in pain. Again, experience what despair is.
My whole body gradually got soaked, and the raindrops fell down my hair, and tonight, I was really embarrassed, but I brought it all on myself. Why do you still think that Liuyun still has feelings for me, even if it is just a little bit, I think he will come to see me.
My chest was a little stuffy, and I wanted to stand up but found that my strength had long been exhausted, and I immediately sat down on the wet ground, and my consciousness began to be a little muddy, and my mind was as blank as a pool of clear water, and finally, I fell unconsciously.
At this moment, I felt the sound of someone's footsteps approaching, and without much thought, they stopped me by the waist and picked me up, I wanted to open my eyes to see who it was, but I felt that my eyelids were unusually heavy. There were times when I tried to open my eyes, only to see the handsome side face in the drizzle.
Déjà vu, déjà vu!
