Chapter 61: Auntie
Aunt Mei gently stroked the strings, and felt that she had almost remembered, so she raised her eyes and bowed to Ruan Yuyi.
Immediately after, the piano sounded, the long sleeves were spread, and the room was full of the gentle tune, which provoked the maids on the side to quietly raise their eyes.
She had wanted to use one she had learned before, but when the song flowed, she unconsciously danced to her heart's content. She felt as if she was in the middle of a river of clear water, and she didn't need to think about anything, the river would pull her to make the next pose.
The river was enveloping her, and she could even feel its warmth when it was sunny and soft when it rained.
After the song, Ruan Yuyi was already sweating lightly, but fortunately, she didn't like to sweat on her face, and she wouldn't lose her makeup.
Aunt Mei called her to sit down, poured tea, breathed a sigh of relief, and then smiled, "If you want the concubine to say, that head really underestimates the young lady, and it is not an exaggeration to dance like this, even if you are in Jiangnan." β
Ruan Yuyi put down the teacup, and when she praised her like this, she blushed first, "It's my aunt's piano skills, I just follow the random movements." β
As if realizing that they had been polite to each other since they met, Aunt Mei chuckled lightly and said, "That complements each other." The young lady wants to refute, I'm afraid that she won't be able to boast about it once she comes back to the night. β
In the past, I had little contact with this young lady, but now when I see it, it is really as those people said, there is no arrogance, and it is a good match. It even made her feel a little tired of seeing each other.
"But this piece was made by me a few days ago, and it is not perfect," said Aunt Mei again, "If the young lady likes it, the concubine will perfect it in a few days, and then I will copy it to you." β
Hearing this, Ruan Yuyi's eyes lit up, "Really? Then thank you aunt first. β
After a few rounds of talking, it was natural to talk about the fetus in her womb. Ruan Yuyi could vaguely feel that for this belated child, Aunt Mei's worries outweighed joy.
She knocked on the side very much, and Aunt Mei was willing to slowly talk about her thoughts.
It turned out that Aunt Mei and Master Cheng were originally a pair of childhood sweethearts, although the family was not rich when they were young, but the two had a deep relationship. Later, Master Cheng was frustrated in the imperial examination, but fortunately he was appreciated by the nobles, so he got a position, and gradually became an official in Beijing, which can be regarded as amazing.
It's just that the tree is a big move, the young lady of the Zhu family has taken a fancy to him, and because of the power of the Zhu family, Master Cheng, who is still young, is afraid of losing his official position, so he has to respond.
It is said that the twisted melon is not sweet, and no matter what Master Cheng is, it is Cheng Zhu's family, she is looking forward to her husband's return, but all she gets is a cold face from him, who knows if she has already remorse.
"My first child was folded in that person's hand, and now I think about itβ" Aunt Mei only felt a choke in her throat, and her heart was full of thoughts, and she had suffered so much that when she really confided in others, she summed it up in only a few sentences.
The eldest son of the family is a concubine, and Mrs. Zhengtou can't guarantee that she won't be unhappy. It's just that she doesn't care if the child is male or female, whether it is long or young, she just wants her blood to survive and grow into an adult.
After that, Master Cheng did compensate her in private, but that didn't help.
Over the years, she has been thinking over and over again, if he really cares about herself, why didn't he send more people to protect Brother Huan from the beginning?
If she could, she would rather Master Cheng not be an official from the beginning, they would only plough the fields in the countryside, work on silkworms, enjoy the breeze in the mountains, and be accompanied by the rising sun and the bright moon.
In fact, there have been so many years of triviality between them, and she has long exhausted her friendship with him at the beginning, and now she is more like being here, with no choice.
Ruan Yuyi saw that the eyes in her eyes were not lonely, but only worried, and she didn't know how to comfort her for a while.
She said softly, "I'm afraid I don't have the ability to protect you and your children." She knew that she would not stay in this mansion for long, and she might not see each other again in the future, so how could she talk about protection.
Aunt Mei shook her head and said, "The concubine doesn't ask for anything else, the young lady is a good person in the house, so she just needs to help me keep an eye on it at that time." As for the rest, it will be up to the child's blessings. β
She didn't want to make Aunt Mei feel disappointed, so she had to respond first, "Ming'er, I'm going to the temple, and I just asked for a peace charm for you." β
She knew that Aunt Mei found her, and she really couldn't ask for anything.
A woman with a broken family, her husband is unreliable, who can she rely on? Maybe it's just me.
Out of Aunt Mei's yard, seeing Ruan Yuyi's eyelashes drooping and her mood was not good, Mu Xiang said, "Miss, don't worry too much, Master Cheng is happy with Aunt Mei, her child, no matter how you say it, she will protect it somewhat." β
"I hope so." She whispered.
Palace.
As night fell, the lights went out, and the splendid palace was enveloped in silence.
Now the harem is indeed not full, the Queen Mother has mentioned it to Jiang Huaiyang several times openly and secretly, he always does not rush to prevaricate the past, if he talks too much, he will leave with his sleeves brushed up.
Dawu is filial piety is good, but the son of the queen mother killed his father and brother, and the queen mother, who is a mother, has no way to teach her son, and she can be regarded as half of a guilty body.
In this way, how can you expect the new emperor to have any patience, if she really doesn't get her off the back position, it's all for the sake of her hard work in governing the six palaces in the past.
Jiang Huaiyang came back from the Queen Mother for a while, even if he didn't like her in his heart, but in the end there was still a name, and he had to give some face.
Seeing that His Majesty's face was pale, the palace people in the palace lowered their heads, only as if they did not exist.
Outside, Wen Pheasant knocked on the door twice before entering, and behind him was Imperial Doctor Ning, who came to ask for peace.
After saluting, Imperial Physician Ning unloaded the medical box, put his wrist on him, and asked, "How has Your Majesty been feeling lately, but you still have the same symptoms of dreamy depression as before?" β
Jiang Huaiyang was silent for a while, "Sometimes it will be better." In fact, since he found out that Taiyi Ning's medicines were not as useful as those of a little lady, he didn't take them anymore.
Hearing this, Imperial Physician Ning was a little unsure. Okay, that's good, why did Your Majesty give him a problem.
Imperial Physician Zhengning pondered for a moment, but a pair of weak and boneless hands suddenly appeared in his mind, a pair of lips that were stained with juice and looked extraordinarily moist, and the sound of "Your Highness" that seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts.
He didn't know if it was normal for a woman he had only seen in dreams before, and even he had been amazed at it.
He knew that she was someone else's wifeβeven if she and the man were dead in name, he was bound by the rules because of it, and he couldn't get close to it, and he couldn't refuse. Approached by her again and again, but unconsciously put on a detached appearance.
He repeatedly made up his mind that he would never approach her again, so that he could cure the dream. But at that time, not only could he not do it, but he couldn't even help but provide her with the opportunity to seduce people.
He was upset, but it was inconvenient to talk about it to others.
Seeing that Jiang Huaiyang was distracted and didn't know what he was thinking, Imperial Physician Ning had no choice but to call softly, "Your Majesty." β
After he lifted his eyelids, Imperial Physician Ning continued, "Your Majesty's body is healthy, just don't work too hard and take the medicine on time." β
Jiang Huaiyang hummed casually, watching Wen Pheasant send people out of the hall.
It is not uncommon for Jiang Huaiyang to think about it day and night, so the lamp in the lamp palace was picked, and the little lady was entangled in his dream again.
