Chapter 138: Hope is the only way to live
Yu'er just glanced at the piece of paper every time, and then put it back in her arms again, humming a little song and working, not to mention how girly she was.
"It must be a love letter written by some little eunuch!"
Although Li Xuan was pretending to be asleep, he had already turned over in his heart.
He knew that there had always been cases in the palace where palace maids and eunuchs ate together.
It's just that I didn't expect it to be my own Yu'er.
Of course, there are also cases where palace maids and palace maids, eunuchs and eunuchs eat against each other.
In short, I was lonely and wanted to find company.
Although this kind of thing is not strictly prohibited, it is always not on the table.
Moreover, some masters are very strict with their subordinates' esophagus, and after being discovered, they are often tortured, and even lose their lives.
And some masters are relatively tolerant, as long as they don't miss their duties on weekdays, they all turn a blind eye.
Now there are more tolerant people in this palace.
After all, we are all human beings, and we all have our own needs.
If it is not solved for a long time, the people in this palace will become more and more perverted, and it is not the same thing.
It's just that thinking that Yu'er also has such signs, Li Xuan can't help but feel a little sad.
"Am I not cute enough?"
"Obviously, there is such a cute little cat at home, so I have to go out and find outsiders......"
(Kitten Grievance)
After lunch at noon, Yu'er said goodbye to Princess Ankang, saying that she would go out and come back soon.
Princess Ankang usually takes a nap after eating, and it just so happens that nothing will trouble Yu'er, so she readily agreed.
When Li Xuan heard this, he was in good spirits.
Recently, the family has abundant materials, and three meals a day are specially provided for imperial meals, and on the fifteenth day of the new year, there are little eunuchs who come to visit them and ask them if they lack anything.
As a result, Yu'er hadn't been out for several days.
First, she didn't need to go out early in the morning to help people work, and second, there was nothing to buy by herself.
If there is anything you need, let the little eunuchs buy it, they are not short of money now, and the variety of things they can buy is more abundant, there is no need to trade privately with other eunuchs and palace maids.
Therefore, Yu'er's sudden going out today is particularly suspicious.
In addition, Li Xuan found that Yu'er was always looking at a piece of paper and smirking there, and he reasonably suspected that Yu'er was going to have a tryst with someone later.
"Hmph, how can my little kitten tolerate such a breath!"
Li Xuan pretended not to care about this, and after eating, he accompanied Princess Ankang to take a nap in the sun in the courtyard, but his ears stood high, catching any suspicious movements.
It was only after Princess Ankang's breathing gradually stabilized that after a long while, Li Xuan heard the sound of the gate of Jingyang Palace opening.
Li Xuan immediately looked up, and sure enough, he saw the scene where the door had just closed.
"Okay, well, I want to see which one eats the bear's heart leopard gall and dares to tempt my jade."
Li Xuan immediately slipped out of Princess Ankang's arms, did not wake her up, and then chased her out the door.
Yu'er didn't walk fast, and Li Xuan could still see her when she jumped on the courtyard wall.
Li Xuan walked all the way and did not attract Yu'er's attention.
It's just that Yu'er is also cautious along the way, looking around from time to time, and occasionally looking back.
But Li Xuan is already a master of tail walking, how can he be seen through by Yu'er, and every time he perfectly finds a shelter and blocks Yu'er's sight.
It's just that the more Yu'er is so careful, the more Li Xuan feels worried.
"You're so cautious, Yu'er, you're so disappointing to me!"
Yu'er came all the way to a deserted alleyway.
Li Xuan took a look, okay, it's still an old place.
This is where he fought with the cats and tying their tails together.
Later, I don't know which kind person untied them.
"Well, I haven't asked them about it yet."
"Next time, remember to ask who loosened the tie for them."
Yu'er came to the entrance of the alleyway and found a back waiting for her at the end.
Li Xuan also saw the back, and found that the other party was wearing the yellow clothes of the little eunuch, and the sharp claw blade bounced out instantly.
But then Yu'er shouted to the other party, and Li Xuan was immediately stunned.
"First!"
The little eunuch in yellow turned his head with an undetectable smile on his face.
"Sister."
Seeing that the other party was Deng Weixian, Li Xuan immediately put away his claw blade, and his gloomy face suddenly smiled.
"Oh, it turned out to be Xiao Dengzi."
"I thought it was."
Li Xuan understood that he was just worried in vain, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
It's also rare to say.
Since Deng Weixian first came to find Yu'er, there has been no contact for a long time.
But think about it, it was not easy for Deng Weixian during that time.
On the one hand, he is busy doing chores during the day, and he has to practice martial arts at night, which can be described as a continuous rotation.
He also suffered a lot in the process of practicing martial arts, which Li Xuan saw with his own eyes.
"It seems that Xiao Dengzi has a leave of absence today and has come to see his sister."
"No wonder Yu'er is so happy all day today."
"It seems that the note in her arms was sent by Xiao Dengzi."
Sure enough, Yu'er took out the note and said to Xiao Dengzi: "I was startled when I picked up this paper in the morning, and I thought it was a dream." ”
"You're also clever, and you actually threw a stone wrapped in a piece of paper and thrown into our courtyard."
Xiao Dengzi nodded and said, "I originally wanted to knock on the door, but I didn't dare to go over when I saw two eunuchs in flowery clothes guarding the door." ”
"Sister, is something happening in Jingyang Palace?"
Deng Weixian has been serving by Wang Suyue's side recently, and the news is not very well-informed, and the fact that someone came to Jingyang Palace to make trouble before was deliberately suppressed by Zhao Feng.
Apart from the two parties involved, only a very small number of people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs know about it.
"Well, it's a long story......
Yu'er didn't want to mention this matter, but Deng Weixian was obviously worried now, and after thinking about it, she still said that someone had come to find trouble before.
"Sister, are you okay?"
After Deng Weixian heard this, he grabbed Yu'er's arm hard, making Yu'er frown.
Seeing Yu'er frowning, Deng Wei let go of his hand before he realized it, and muttered in his mouth: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry......"
Yu'er shook her head, but smiled: "It's okay, you also care about me." ”
Yu'er sensed that something was wrong with her brother's demeanor, but instead reached out and smoothed his back and comforted him.
Although they hadn't seen each other for years, her brother never seemed to feel strange about her, which made Yu'er feel a little relieved.
And when she thought that their parents had passed away and her younger brother was only herself, Yu'er could also understand Deng Weixian's previous actions.
Thinking about it, Yu'er couldn't help but sigh.
It's been five years since she entered the palace.
After being sold by the family, it took about a year on the road before it was sent to the capital.
"It turned out to be when I was nine years old......
Yu'er had never thought about these things before, but now when she saw her brother, she couldn't help but think of that scene back then.
"I guess I was only seven years old at the time."
At first, Yu'er's parents didn't think about selling her.
It's all their own flesh and blood, who is willing to give it?
It's just that the disasters have been going on for years, either droughts or floods, and the family's food storage is getting smaller and smaller year by year.
Finally, that year came, and the family could no longer open the pot.
In order to survive, Yu'er's parents chose to sell her.
Although Yu'er was only nine years old at the time, she was already sensible and could understand her parents' decision.
But people are always like that.
It's one thing to understand in the mind, but it's another thing to understand in the heart.
As a younger brother, Deng Weixian didn't understand why someone wanted to take away his only sister, but his parents didn't do anything to stop him, but knocked off the hand he was holding his sister.
The two children cried, and Deng Weixian's parents turned their heads away, as if not seeing them would make them more comfortable.
The siblings couldn't help but be silent for a moment, neither of them spoke, and they seemed to remember that day.
Deng Weixian was bored for a long time before he rarely asked, "Sister, have you been okay in the past few years?" ”
Yu'er was stunned for a moment, and when she heard her brother ask her like this, she felt sour in her heart, but she forced a smile and said, "Sister, isn't this good?" ”
"It's good for us to survive."
"First, don't overthink it."
Yu'er reassured.
She could clearly feel that her brother's mind was much heavier now.
But thinking of what Deng Weixian experienced, Yu'er can also understand.
Under the disaster, I saw my parents die in order to protect themselves, and they suffered all the way to the capital and entered the palace.
No matter what it was taken out alone, it was not something that he should bear as a thirteen-year-old boy.
But Yu'er was still happy.
At least she can see Deng Weixian again in her lifetime.
Deng Weixian is still alive and well.
Years of experience in the palace have made Yu'er understand how rare this is.
"First, no matter how difficult it is, you must live."
"Only by surviving can there be tomorrow and hope."
"When you're dead, there's nothing."
Yu'er looked at the sky, her eyes full of remembrance.
She was going to die the year she entered the palace.
Yu'er is also calmly ready to accept her fate.
But at that time, a woman appeared and changed her fate.
Let her understand that it is meaningful for her to live.
Li Xuan lay on a tree and quietly listened to the conversation between the sisters and brothers.
From the beginning of the heavy topic, they gradually began to talk about the recent events around them.
Yu'er mentioned the previous animal taming competition, and Deng Weixian had also heard about it.
After all, this is no small matter.
"After we received His Majesty's reward, the days of Jingyang Palace were much better."
"By the way, first, do you lack clothes over there?"
"If you need something, I can help you ask Her Royal Highness the Princess."
"Her Royal Highness the princess has a kind heart, and we can't use up all those things......"
Before Yu'er finished speaking, Deng Weixian shook his head.
"Sister, I'm by Wang Cairen's side, there is no shortage of food and clothing, don't worry."
Deng Weixian also talked about his situation earlier.
Yu'er knew that he was now serving a talented man named Wang Suyue.
"Wang Cairen has been favored twice by His Majesty, I'm afraid that I will move out of Yanqu Hall in the near future and be officially canonized as a concubine, and I should follow me when the time comes."
Yu'er was happy for her younger brother: "Well, you do a good job, my sister cheers for you." ”
The sister and brother talked a lot, but they both tacitly hid their secrets.
Yu'er didn't mention that she was practicing martial arts with Zhao Feng, nor did she mention Li Xuan's matter.
Deng Weixian is the same, his godfather, his martial arts training, and some other secrets......
The sister and brother seem to be heart-to-heart, but they are just comforting each other as much as possible.
In the eyes of Li Xuan, who knows the situation of the two, the behavior of the sister and brother is even more distorted than reporting good news or bad news.
But it's clearly for the sake of the other party.
Two rootless duckweed snuggled up to each other in the wind, reluctant to get too close to each other.
Whether it is the cold palace or the mysterious godfather, it is a fate that they only want to bear on their backs.
The more you care, the more you have to push it away.
This is the tacit understanding of the sister and brother to survive.
As long as the other party is alive, they are satisfied.
