Chapter 57: Recognizing Reality
Xia Ziqing began to struggle.
"No...... I don't believe it! I don't believe it! At the banquet in the palace that year, she gave me flowers, she gave me flowers, she just liked me! ”
Huai Ling scoffed.
Xia Ziqing said that Huai Ling had an impression.
At that time, she was not yet in time, only sixteen years old, but Xia Ziqing was already weak.
The flower viewing festival in the palace can be attended by the royal family members and nobles and officials above the third rank.
One of the links is that everyone can pick flowers, and the flowers can be taken away and given to anyone.
The flowers that Huai Ling picked back then wanted to give them all to Xia Ziqing.
But when she went to find Xia Ziqing with joy.
In the imperial garden of the palace, she saw the scene of Xia Ziqing sending flowers to the imperial princess.
Xia Ziqing looks shy, holding the biggest and best flowers.
Two of the best of them were the ones he asked Huai Ling to help him rob.
At that time, Huailing thought that he was also going to give it to himself.
Who would have thought that it was given to the princess.
However, Huai Ling was sad and sad behind the rockery.
Xia Ziqing was not having a good time in front.
Because the queen lady did not take his flowers, but casually threw all the flowers in her hands into his arms.
Leave a cold sentence, "If you like it, you can take it all." ”
Then he turned and walked away.
Later, Xia Ziqing may not know that the princess will soon accompany her side, and she doesn't want those flowers.
And there is no bottom line in loving someone, even if the queen daughter treats Xia Ziqing like this.
Xia Ziqing also thought that he was the one who was liked.
Well, just like now.
He kept saying, "She gave me ...... She gave me flowers that year! And last year...... When it rains, she deliberately gave me an umbrella...... She gave a man an umbrella......"
Xia Ziqing asked Huai Ling directly.
What does that mean...... This shows that he has me in his heart! ”
Huailing nodded nonchalantly.
"Then you go to see her, do you dare to see her and ask clearly?"
"I ...... I can't ...... yet."
The next moment, I heard movement outside.
A personal slave girl said: "Your Royal Highness, be careful. ”
Xia Ziqing was stunned.
"The Emperor...... Her Royal Highness? I'm not hallucinating, am I? ”
"It's not auditory hallucinations, you can't figure it out yourself, I'll help you figure it out."
Xia Ziqing kept struggling, and the jade merchant almost couldn't hold him back.
It was Huai Ling who directly grabbed him by the collar and poured him to the ground.
Listening to the sound of the princess getting closer and closer, and even the footsteps could be heard clearly, Xia Ziqing wanted to find a place to hide.
"I don't want to see ...... I don't want it! I can't let her see me so ugly...... I can't let her eyes see my scalded face! ”
But the next moment, the door to the side hall opened.
The princess walked in, and the maidservant beside her reminded: "Lady, watch your step." ”
The Empress motioned for the other party to remain silent.
Xia Ziqing stiffly covered his face and knelt on the ground, burying his head low.
The empress dowager raised her eyebrows slightly, only glanced at him, and then re-faced Huai Ling.
"Delaying your housework? I will say a few words and leave, tomorrow is the third day, there will be a carriage waiting at the back door of your house at night, there is a nurse in it, you give the child to the man, the future of this child has nothing to do with us, but it will not be too bad. ”
"Oh~Got it~"
Xia Ziqing was even more stunned, how could the princess say that she was dealing with housework?
What did he come for?
If it weren't for the imperial princess, how could he become Huailing's "family"!
Xia Ziqing slowly raised his head.
He looked at the Empress Dowager.
"Her Royal Highness the Empress Dowager ......"
The princess ignored it completely, turned around and was about to leave.
Xia Ziqing grabbed the hem of the princess's skirt.
"Her Royal Highness!"
He shouted, and the Empress stopped.
Xia Ziqing endured and endured.
Finally asked that sentence.
"Have you ever liked me?"
The queen lady pulled the hem of her skirt back, and her voice was cold and hard.
"What is this that Xia Zhengjun asked? You are the prince of my fourth sister, why does this princess like her brother-in-law? ”
Xia Ziqing lowered her head, her lips pursed white.
"That'...... That year, the palace enjoyed the flowers...... You give me a bouquet of flowers, do you like me......"
The Empress Dowager looked puzzled.
"When?"
"What...... What? ”
Xia Ziqing felt a sudden pain in his chest after hearing this.
"What did you say when it rained last year, and you gave me an umbrella?"
"Oh...... That'......"
The Empress Dowager really had a thought.
"That princess Ben has an impression."
Xia Ziqing's expression softened a little.
But the next moment, the words of the empress made him feel as if he had fallen into a cold ice cave.
"That's because the princess's side gentleman sees you pitiful and asks the princess to deliver the umbrella, if you have the wrong idea because of that, it can only be said that it is really difficult to be a good person."
Xia Ziqing's lips trembled, and her eyes quickly squeezed out tears.
"Your Royal Highness, I have done so many things for you, Princess Huailing's previous poems were all deceived by me! Even if I marry Princess Huailing this time, I have to do things for you......"
The queen lady kicked Xia Ziqing to the ground.
Poor expression.
"Ridiculous! That poem was written by the princess herself, as for you marrying Huai Ling, what you said in front of the emperor is really because you and Huai Ling's childhood sweetheart, you like what she likes, what, have you forgotten? ”
After speaking, the imperial lady said to Huailing: "Fourth sister, the imperial sister has left beforehand, you, the righteous monarch, you can punish as much as you want, the imperial sister has nothing to do with him." ”
As the princess left, Xia Ziqing got up and was about to rush out.
The jade merchant began to hold back.
Huai Ling waved his hand, "Let him see." ”
Xia Ziqing ran out gasping, and several male slaves followed him.
Just as he was about to rush out and reach out to grab the princess.
A man came down from the sedan chair outside.
It is the side monarch of the imperial princess.
He asked the princess why she had been in it for so long, and he had to make soy milk for the princess when he went back.
The princess said with disgust: "Don't be so kind in the future, you asked me to give Xia Ziqing an umbrella, and he mistakenly thought that I liked him, oh yes, there are also flowers from the previous flower viewing banquet, I gave them to him because you are allergic to pollen." ”
!!!
Xia Ziqing stopped suddenly.
He began to smile wryly.
Then it turned into a laugh in the sky.
"Hahaha...... Hahaha! So that's ......"
He staggered back again, laughing as he went.
"I finally know why I'm a joke...... That's such a fitting word, hahaha! ”
Xia Ziqing began to look around for things.
Finally found a rough pair of scissors in the backyard.
He pulled up his long hair, cut it down with a pair of scissors, and pressed it against his face.
And the queen lady outside didn't know what was going on in this mansion at all, and she sat in a sedan chair with the side gentleman and stroked the side gentleman's face.
When the jade merchant saw it, he hurried to stop it.
Not for anything else, but because he cursed men by doing this.
"Xia Ziqing, you slut, you are doing this kind of thing in the mansion of the fourth princess, who are you cursing!"
