A Thousand Mountains and Green Dai Section 61
Su Yu was shaken back to her senses by Li Wanwan: "How are you doing?" ”
"I'll raise noodles in the future!"
Li Wanwan looked at Su Yu and shouted with a red face.
"I'll let him lose face and be a turtle who jokes behind the backs of the people in the capital!"
Su Yu opened her lips slightly and sighed in surprise.
She quickly calculated in her heart, and then reminded the excited Li Wanwan softly: "Isn't there still Your Majesty?" Why don't you go and ask Your Majesty in person, as long as he opens his mouth, you Ah Weng will not be able to help you. ”
Li Wanwan suddenly woke up, her eyes lit up, and she nodded vigorously: "Yes, yes, yes!" You're so smart! I didn't think of that! I'm going to beg my Imperial Uncle Ancestor! You come with me! ”
Su Yu knew that he shouldn't have been involved in this matter.
If Pei Xiaoyuan can really marry this niece of hers, with the status of King Ning and the relationship with the emperor, it will be of great benefit to his future. Besides, not to mention the other two families mentioned by Li Wanwan, looking at the entire capital, I am afraid that this is also the highest-status noble lord that Pei Xiaoyuan can marry.
She is not opposed to having another good niece and son-in-law like Pei Xiaoyuan.
But...... Li Wanwan's attitude was so intense, looking at her words, it didn't look like it was scaring people. In order to trust her niece, and for Pei Xiaoyuan's good, she couldn't sit back and watch him suffer such humiliation in the future, so she spoke out and reminded her a little. At this moment, Li Wanwan asked her to go along, but she couldn't shirk it, and there was nothing to do here anyway, so she followed.
Li Wanwan walked quickly at first, but the closer she got to the Purple Cloud Palace, the slower she noticed that her steps became, and finally arrived outside the Purple Cloud Palace, lingering, with a hesitant look on her face.
A palace eunuch who was guarding outside saw the two of them, came to see Li Wanwan, asked what was the matter, and heard Li Wanwan say that he wanted to see the emperor, and said that His Majesty was summoning Wang Zhangliu Ceye and others at the moment to discuss the government.
"If the county lord has something, wait for the prime ministers to come out, and then the slave will pass the word for the county lord."
Li Wanwan seemed to be relieved, hurriedly shook her head and said that it was okay, turned around and dragged Su Yu away. Su Yu followed her out inexplicably. Li Wanwan was extremely frustrated, and said in a low voice: "I haven't been here once...... I'm afraid of the emperor's uncle...... Still is...... Or forget it...... In short, you must help me bring the words to him! ”
Li Wanwan is afraid of her emperor Aya, and Su Yu can also understand it. Seeing her crying and sad face, how could she refuse, so she had to agree: "I'll try it." But if he doesn't listen, I don't know. ”
"You let him know first! If you dare to marry me, I ...... I ran away from home and wandered around! Li Wanwan stared at the rain and said with tears in her eyes.
Su Yu hurriedly persuaded her to go home first, saying that she would definitely bring a message. Seeing off Li Wanwan, she also hurried to the Shenshu Palace to find Song Bokang.
Song Bokang also knew that she had been rewarded by the emperor, and when he saw her return, his attitude towards himself was still respectful, and he was very happy that he took care of this apprentice, saying that she didn't have to do anything here, let her rest for two more days, and then go out of the city together.
Naturally, it is not a tour of the mountains and rivers, but a collection of scenery into the painting, preparing for the long scroll of the main event.
Since Song Bokang arranged it this way, Su Yu also complied. thanked him and came back immediately, but did not leave the palace immediately. During this day, she stayed in the courtyard, using the methods she had learned from her grandfather in the past, comparing various records in the Zhaowenguan painting books, studying the extraction of pigments, and practicing painting. Busy until the evening, the dusk drums sounded, and the officials in the southern courtyard of the palace were ready to end their affairs and leave the palace, she estimated that there should be no one on the side of the Ziyun Palace, so she also ended the work here, touched it, and asked to see Zhao Neishi.
Zhao Zhongfang heard her coming, and hurriedly came out and brought people in. Su Yu asked the emperor about today's diet and daily life. Zhao Zhongfang said that everything is normal today, His Majesty the Emperor is in good spirits, and he summoned a lot of courtiers in batches during the day, and he used a bowl for lunch, and the medicine was also taken on time.
"Princess, don't worry. If necessary, the old slave will inform the princess. ”
Su Yu glanced in the direction of the Jingshe and asked the emperor what he was doing at the moment.
In recent years, the emperor had the habit of skipping lunch and only using a bowl of vegetarian porridge in the evening. Zhao Zhongfang was cooking porridge for the emperor in the small kitchen of Ziyun Palace. Just boiled and cooled, just about to be fed. Su Yu said she went. Zhao Zhongfang couldn't ask for it, so he hurriedly ordered the little palace supervisor to bring the porridge. Su Yu took the porridge, followed Zhao Zhongfang, and walked over.
The emperor was reading things, and when he heard Zhao Zhongfang say in a joyful tone, the princess came to see him, and personally brought him porridge, but he didn't say anything.
Su Yu put the Jinping food plate containing vegetarian porridge in the corner of the emperor's imperial case, and seeing that he didn't eat, he waited for a while and urged softly: "Aya eat." It was already cold and was just the entrance. If it's colder, it's not good for the stomach and abdomen. ”
The emperor raised his eyelids and glanced at her, put down his pen, picked it up and began to eat porridge. Su Yu knelt on the side, served diligently, and took the initiative to hand over the towel.
The emperor looked at her again, but did not answer immediately, and asked, "Is there something wrong with you?" ”
Su Yu shook his head: "It's fine." Fang just came out of the straight courtyard, thinking about coming here to have a look before leaving the palace. ”
The emperor snorted lightly: "If you have something to say, say it." Don't I know you? ”
She has been like this since she was a child, and when she has something to ask her Dingwang Aye, she will become attentive and petty, and please everywhere.
Su Yu did come with some purpose, and when she saw that she was broken, she didn't hide it, and said, "Aya knows that Wanwan has been here during the day?" ”
The emperor said: "You two sneakily came and left. What's the matter? ”
Su Yu hurriedly picked himself up: "It's not me, it's Wanwan who has something." ”
"What is she looking for?"
She said that King Ning wanted to marry her and marry Pei Er. No matter who it is, she doesn't want to marry, and I heard that Aya seems to have agreed to King Ning's marriage, and she is very sad, so she came to ask Aye, wanting to make her mind clear, and she doesn't want to marry so soon. When he came, he knew that there was a minister in front of Aya and that she was a sensible child, so he went back. It just so happened that I came to see Aye, so I said it for her in front of Aya by the way. In this matter, Aya still persuaded King Ning to be good, and the twisted melon was not sweet. ”
After hearing this, the emperor stopped eating the porridge in the bowl, and put it on the table, "You came here to see me because of this, right?" ”
Su Yu categorically denied it: "I originally planned to come to see Aya, but I just remembered it by the way and said this." ”
The emperor stared at her: "Why do you care so much about this?" You just want her to get married? ”
Su Yu's eyes widened innocently: "Aye, what are you thinking?" What does this have to do with me? Why do I want her to get married? What's more, Pei Er has taken a lot of care of me before. If he can make this marriage, I will only be happy for him. I saw Wanwan crying pitifully in front of me, and her heart was as solid as a rock, so I just mentioned it in passing! ”
"If Wanwan really can't think about it, if something happens in the future, I'm afraid it will be too late for King Ning to regret it." She said again.
The emperor looked at her, and Su Yu endured the bursts of shame that welled up in her heart, as if nothing had happened, and let the emperor look at her motionlessly. Finally, seeing the emperor's eyes, he said lightly: "Pei Jia'er can barely be regarded as a dragon and phoenix among people, if this matter is successful, there will only be benefits to Wanwan's future, and there will be no harm." She is young and ignorant now, and you as an elder should not be blindly connived. Since she listens to you, go back and persuade her. Besides, this is Ning Wang's family matter, I can't be the master, and you don't care! ”
The rain no longer argues, lowering its eyes, and the low should be.
The emperor looked at his daughter, whose head was lowered, and his face gradually softened, and said, "Are you hungry too?" Aya sees that you are very thin, you need to eat more. This porridge is bland, you can't eat it. Aya remembered that when you were a child, you loved to eat golden soufflé and honey goose, Aya asked someone to do it, and if you wanted to eat anything, she told Zhao Zhongfang together. You sit with Aya again, and when you have dinner, it's not too late to leave the palace. And as he spoke, he called someone in.
Even if the dragon liver and phoenix marrow were brought in, the rain couldn't eat at all, and he said sullenly that he was not hungry.
It was dark, Zhao Zhongfang was preparing for the lantern outside the hall, Fang heard the emperor's call, walked in, and before he could speak, he saw that the princess had gotten up and said that he was going to rush to the door. She bowed to the emperor and told him to rest early.
"I heard that Aya often reverses day and night, and the imperial doctor said that this move is harmful to qi and blood, and it is a taboo for health preservation."
"Aya must not be overworked. I left the palace first, and if I stayed too late, it would arouse suspicion. ”
In the Emperor's frowning gaze, she withdrew.
After leaving the palace, Su Yu hurried back to Yongning Fang on horseback with the people returning home from the street.
Pei Xiaoyuan still didn't reply.
Not only that, that night, Su Yu woke up from sleep. However, as last night, she did not wait for anyone to return.
He still didn't return for the night.
On the third day, although Song Bokang told her to continue to rest, she rushed to the south courtyard of the palace early to be on duty. During this day, Li Wanwan didn't come, but she sent an entourage, and an acquaintance in the palace secretly handed her a message, saying that she Ah Weng sent someone to keep an eye on her, locked her in the house, and did not allow her to go out, because the marriage proposal seemed to be going on, and she was about to die, and asked Su Yu if she had helped her pass the word here.
Evening came again.
This time, Su Yu rushed out of the palace before the Hundred Officials Office was locked, and went straight to Lu Wusi.
When she was about to arrive, from a distance, she saw Pei Xiaoyuan, who had not appeared for three days.
He should have just returned from outside, and when he got off the horse, he was standing under the steps outside the gate, with his back to Su Yu, and was talking with Liu Bo, the commander, and a soldier outside the door.
It was the moment when the officials were in a hurry to get off duty and the passers-by were vying for the way home. The streets at dusk are chaotic, full of cars, horses and people.
The rain did not pass immediately, she took refuge on the riverbank across the street from the government office, and stopped under a weeping willow tree, waiting for him to finish speaking. Liu Bo suddenly saw her and was stunned. Su Yu smiled and nodded at him from afar.
She saw Liu Bo hurriedly smile at her, and then, pointing in her direction and saying something to Pei Xiaoyuan, he turned his head and looked over.
Separated by a distance of more than ten zhang, the two looked at each other.
He seemed stunned, but soon, he ended the conversation with his subordinates, turned around, and walked diagonally through the streets full of cars, horses, and people, to the river, and continued to walk towards her.
"Is there something wrong with looking for me?"
He stopped a few paces away from her, his eyes falling on her face through a few long and short willow branches, and asked.
Although he soon walked towards her, talking to her at the moment, there was a faint smile in his eyes, however, he didn't go home for three days, and when he opened his mouth at this moment, the first thing he said was to ask something, which inevitably made Su Yu feel a sense of rustiness.
She casually pulled a willow leaf in front of her, wrapped it between her fingers and played with it, nodded, and smiled: "It's a little something." ”
"It's not my business, though." She then added.
He saw the willow leaves wrapped between her fingers shatter in an instant, and the green juice squeezed out of the fresh leaves stained her white fingers. Diagonally opposite behind them, the two subordinates seemed to be a little curious, but they still didn't leave, and kept turning their heads, still looking at this side.
He looked around in the foggy twilight and whispered, "It's not convenient to talk here, you come with me." ”
Su Yu silently followed him along the river bank and willows, walked out dozens of steps, and came to a small abandoned dock nearby. No one walked for a long time, and the bluestone platform was covered with broken flowers and fallen leaves, hidden among a few lush weeping willows by the river.
"What?"
When she stood still, Pei Xiaoyuan asked again.
Chapter 60
Su Yu's gaze swept over the scar on his forehead. Compared to the previous time she saw it, the injury had subsided, but apparently, he really didn't seem to care much about it, and he didn't go to the Imperial Doctor's Department again as she told him.
She resisted the thought of speaking again, met the gaze he cast, and said, "Wanwan, she has come to me." Listen to her, you ...... As if you were proposing marriage? ”
He looked surprised, "When did she tell you?" ”
"Just these two days. Said that you have been to her house, and King Ning proposed marriage? ”
"I've been to her house, but—"
Pei Xiaoyuan was surprised when he heard her say such a thing, and subconsciously denied it, but suddenly, he remembered the scene at that time, those euphemistic suggestions from King Ning, suddenly understood, and paused.
Su Yu looked at him secretly, how did the subtle changes in his expression escape her eyes, and her heart was slightly cold.
"Wanwan, she doesn't want to marry now." She smiled lightly, "She said that if the marriage is really successful, she will never admit it, and the person who married her will never want to live in peace in the future." ”
She said one more word, then stopped and looked at him. I saw that the expression of the person opposite seemed to change several times with her words, and finally she laughed in amazement.
"What are you laughing at?"
His reaction made Su Yu feel annoyed in his heart, but he pressed it, not to show it, but to ask rhetorically.
"She will definitely ask me to relay it to Junqian, and if there is nothing to do at the moment, she will stop by here and talk to you."
At this point, Pei Xiaoyuan finally understood completely, why he went to King Ning's Mansion to meet the county lord, and why did King Ning knock on the side to say those words.
He met her cold black eyes, stopped smiling, and immediately explained, "You misunderstood-"
"It's not me, it's Wanwan!" Su Yu immediately cut off his words and corrected the absurdity of his words.
He paused, looked at her, and nodded, "Yes." The county lord misunderstood. ”
"When I go to King Ning's Mansion, I should only do one thing, which is to teach Li Zhi some riding and archery kung fu in the future, and if there is nothing else, how can I propose marriage."
"Really?"
His gaze fell on her face, and he bowed his head again: "Yes." King Ning did say something about marriage, but he never talked to me about marrying the county lord to me. ”
Su Yu was silent.
He hesitated for a moment, looked at her again, accentuated his tone, and continued: "Even if King Ning really thinks highly of me, he is willing to stoop to me, and it is impossible for me to agree to the marriage." Tell the county lord and put a hundred hearts. ”
At this, he shook his head slightly, as if the matter was ridiculous enough to make him unbelievable.
Su Yu suddenly felt a little hot in her ears, because the last words he shook his head made her feel stupid. How could he believe Li Wanwan's words so easily, and thought that he really intended to be the son-in-law of King Ning.
