Chapter 48. Private meetings
Frostflower is in trouble.
Such a risky thing, Rong Guiren did not have any benefit, but also had to bear a huge risk, on what basis? Shuanghua thought about it, and first asked Xia Dongchun: "What does the little master want to say to Rong Guiren?" It's better to let the slave and maid pass the word directly. ”
"As the saying goes, meet three points of love." Xia Dongchun suddenly got up, "Naturally, let Rong'er come and meet with me, talk about the past, and then let her find a way to save me." ”
Frost Flower opened her mouth weakly, not knowing what to say, but she really couldn't resist the summer, winter and spring, and quietly walked out of the peach blossom dock after night, and walked to the Xinghua Village on the side. And what she didn't know was that just such a little movement was known to the queen.
"Did she go to find Rong Guiren?" The queen stopped looking at the Buddhist scriptures, thought for a while, and chuckled, "Let her go." ”
Although Taohuawu is only separated by a stream from Xinghua Village, but serious walking has to go around a big circle, Frost Flower tremblingly walked on the road in the night, fortunately the moonlight was blocked by the clouds tonight, and she couldn't see it really, she walked to the door of Xinghua Village safe and sound, saw that the lights were still on inside, and carefully knocked on the corner door, and no one opened the door for a long time, and raised her hand and knocked.
"It's so late, who is it?" Dill rushed over to open the door and looked at Frost Flower in surprise, "Why are you here?" He hesitated for a moment, but let her come in first.
An Lingrong slept a little more this afternoon, and couldn't sleep at night, so she was playing leaf cards with Cardamom and Mo'er Qin'er, and she didn't want to play more and more.
"Isn't your little master still grounded? You are free to come and go. An Lingrong waved away everyone, sat down after cleaning his hands, and still had a little smile on his face.
Shuanghua clasped her hands tightly in front of her, knelt in front of An Lingrong and said, "My little master really misses Rong Guiren, and I want to invite Rong Guiren to Luoying Hall to talk about it." She lowered her head, her face was confused, and seeing An Lingrong not speaking for a long time, she became more and more embarrassed, "The matter of the incense in the goose pear tent, my little master didn't know about it at that time, if he knew, he wouldn't let it happen." ”
An Lingrong restrained his smile and just looked at the frost flower quietly.
She didn't want to have anything to do with Xia Dongchun anymore, this trouble was finally thrown away, and she didn't want to get involved again. But she looked at Frostflower, but she didn't think that she could simply put things off today.
"My little master has not been good since he entered the palace, only Rong noble people treat my little master as a sister, such friendship is really hard to find in the palace. Some time ago, my little master just got pregnant, and his temper was indeed a little irritable, if there is anything to offend Rong Guiren, please have a lot of adults, don't worry about her generally. "The frost flower is not a loss is carefully selected by the Xia family, and in a few words, Xia Dongchun's fault has been revealed, "Since moving to the queen's palace, the little master has been locked up in the Luoying Palace, and he doesn't even let out half a step out of the door, and people are going to suffocate, seeing that he has been grounded for more than a month, the emperor didn't say that he wanted to lift the ban, and the queen didn't mention half a point, my little master is really stuffy, and it's good to think about talking to Rong Guiren." ”
An Lingrong's face was indifferent, and he couldn't see his joy or anger, but he couldn't stop sneering in his heart. Is this the call of using her as a subordinate of the Xia family?
At the beginning, Xia Dongchun was snubbed, and without saying a word, he accepted An Lingrong's kindness, and when he was on the throne and was pregnant with a dragonborn, he felt that An Lingrong was useless, and he was bent on stepping on her, but now he was in a predicament and could not save himself, and he thought of An Lingrong's good coming, and wanted her to mention the lifting of the ban to the emperor. This is a really loud calculation.
"I've not been in good shape lately, and it's rare to move on weekdays, you go back and tell your little master, it's the Mid-Autumn Festival in a while, and on the night of the reunion, the queen will definitely tell the emperor about it, and the ban will be lifted at that time." An Lingrong drew the cake slowly, without mentioning himself.
Shuanghua's eyes darkened, she got up and stood still, glanced at An Lingrong, and suddenly said: "A few days ago, Aunt Jianqiu beside the queen asked about the red agate bracelet in the hand of my little master, and asked if this bracelet had been carried close to her all along, and said that this red agate was paid as a tribute from a remote place, which might damage the qi and blood of pregnant women, so she took it back. The slave and maid deliberately grabbed the little master that day, and did not say that the bracelet had been broken, thinking about it, there was something wrong with the bracelet. ”
An Lingrong's face turned pale, and he was almost laughed at angrily: "Is this threatening me?" She smiled coldly, "When the bracelet is broken, even when I get to the queen, I can tell clearly, I don't need you to order me here." ”
Frostflower's face turned pale.
In the end, she was still too young to think that she could coerce An Lingrong in this way, but she never thought that An Lingrong in front of her was not as weak and pure as she seemed on the surface, nor as immature and ignorant of the world as she saw, her soul had gone through frost and treachery to get to the present, how could she be handled by a little maid?
Since entering the palace, An Lingrong has rarely had such a momentum, she slowly drank tea, but it was like a mountain that made Frost out of breath.
After a long time, she slowly spoke in the fright of the frost full of cold sweat: "If you want me to persuade your little master, I can't take the risk, but today's matter is over, and the love between me and your little master is over, what to say and what not to say, you should know in your heart." If I hear half a word about the bracelet, I will pull out your tongue and throw you into a place where you will not see the light of day. An Lingrong stood up, leaned over to Frost Flower slightly, and said with a cold heart.
Frost Flower was so frightened that she couldn't stop her teeth from trembling and nodded her head again and again.
An Lingrong glanced at the night tonight, it is better to choose a day than to hit the day, just today, thinking like this, called Dill: "Take a set of your clothes, change clothes for me, I will go to Luoying Hall with the frost flower, you watch the door closely, don't let people know that I went out." I guess I'll be back in an hour. ”
Dill looked gloomy, but leaned over to accept her life.
The night grew darker, there was silence all around, the lights were turned off everywhere, and there was no moonlight, so that only a few cicadas could be heard as we walked, and the occasional lazy footsteps and yawns of the guards who patrolled the night.
The corner door of the Luoying Hall opened and closed, and Frost Flower quickly walked into the dormitory of Summer, Winter and Spring with people.
"Rong'er, you're here!" Xia Dongchun stepped forward affectionately and grabbed An Lingrong's hand, and said while sitting down, "I haven't seen you for more than a month, I really miss you so much, so I asked Shuanghua to invite you to ......"
"Xia Changzai can just say it if he has anything to say, I don't have that much time." An Lingrong's face was cold, interrupting Xia, Dongchun's greetings, and went straight to the point.
Xia Dongchun's face stiffened, and he laughed embarrassedly twice, and wanted to say a few more words about his friendship, but he instantly lost his voice when he met An Lingrong's eyes. Knowing that An Lingrong was not joking with her, she gritted her teeth and said angrily: "I really don't want to be locked up in this Luoying Hall all day long, this place is gloomy, I can't sleep well, and a few days ago I heard that Bi promised to fall into the water and die, she ...... She must have been harmed by someone else! must have been harmed by Concubine Hua......" Speaking of the word Concubine Hua, her voice suddenly became much quieter, "I, I have also offended her, what if she also wants to harm me?" Xia Dongchun shrunk his neck in fear, one hand protected his stomach, and the other hand reached over and grabbed An Lingrong's hand tightly, "Rong'er, can you save me, save me?" I don't want to die. ”
She was really scared.
During pregnancy, she was emotionally sensitive, and the queen said that in the middle of the summer weather, it was cool here to let her live in the Ying Palace, but after Xia Dongchun moved in, she was always flustered, in addition to eating or eating every day, one was because her appetite was gradually getting bigger, and she only felt hungry and panicked, and the other was to find something to do to relieve her panic.
Hearing that Zhen Yuyin drowned, she had nightmares and scared herself at every turn.
An Lingrong silently glanced up at the queen's main hall, although there was no light there, she inexplicably felt like she was being watched. The queen's ears and eyes are everywhere, this is an experience she got in her previous life, although she has been careful enough, but An Lingrong is still wary in her heart, and after thinking about it, she said: "You are the safest in the queen's palace, if you want to give birth to a child well, don't think about running out all day long, you will attract attention when you go out." After a pause, she said, "The queen mother values you and your children, she is the last person who wants you to have an accident, and it is the most important thing for you to follow her wholeheartedly." I came today to persuade you, don't think about other things, the queen is the master of the middle palace, except for the queen mother, there is no more noble than her identity in the palace, only she can protect you. ”
Xia Dongchun nodded: "The queen treats me very well." "There is no shortage of food and clothing, but she just feels that something is wrong.
"If you will listen to me, I will say one more thing today." An Lingrong's eyes flashed slightly, "You have just entered the palace, and your status is low, and the child you give birth to must not be raised by your side, so it is better to show your heart and hand over the child to the queen mother to raise, so as to fulfill you and your child." Of course, this is just my selfishness, whether it is the prince and princess, the queen will love it, it just depends on whether you are willing or not. ”
This is what the queen likes to hear.
But it's not what Xia Dongchun likes to hear, she stood up abruptly and looked at An Lingrong with a wary face: "What do you mean?" Did I give birth to this child and send it to the queen mother to protect myself? No way! This is my child! As long as I give birth to a prince, the emperor will definitely make me a concubine! She turned red with anger, "If you don't want to help me, just say it, you can't tell me this." Are you jealous that I'm pregnant, so you say that? ”
An Lingrong was not angry, his expression was still faint: "I'll do it all, you can do it yourself." ”
Seeing that An Lingrong was about to leave without looking back, Xia Dongchun gritted his teeth, grabbed her when she was about to go out, and said weakly: "Don't be angry, I'm ...... I just ......" She wanted to apologize, but she couldn't open her mouth.
An Lingrong didn't have the heart to say anything more to her, knowing that what she wanted was just to lift the grounding so that she could go out and show off her belly, her mind was so easy to guess, and she was not afraid of killing herself. An Lingrong brushed away Xia Dongchun and took her hand, with a cold face: "As for the grounding, don't worry, there will be news when the Mid-Autumn Festival comes, so you have to take care of your Xia family's face." ”
Xia Dongchun showed a happy color: "Really? Then he begged for mercy at An Lingrong again, "Rong'er, I'm too excited, I spoke more heavily, don't take it to heart." ”
said a lot of good things, and only in Xia Dongchun did he send An Lingrong out.
She happily returned to the dormitory to rest, with the letter given by An Lingrong, she was also a little more steady, and fell asleep after a while, but Shuanghua was keeping vigil with a bitter face, she remembered An Lingrong's eyes full of murderous intent, and her heart trembled, no matter how loyal she was, she had to scold Xia Dongchun for being stupid at this time.
Rong Guiren has already separated from her, and he still thinks that he is very good with Rong Guiren! Why did the general pick her into the palace!
Frost looked up at the sky, wanting to cry without tears, feeling that her future days would be even more difficult.
After leaving the Luoying Palace, An Lingrong did not go back to Xinghua Village directly, but turned his footsteps, detoured to the front gate of Taohuawu, and knocked gently. Before the three rings were finished, the door was opened, revealing a smiling face: "Rong Guiren, Niangniang has been waiting for you for a long time." ”
An Lingrong's heart sank.
Really.
