Chapter 9 and the Jade Mandarin Duck

"The bracelet you're talking about, it's supposed to be this, right?" Wei Zhuang asked.

When the words fell, Feng Shuwan looked at the two jade bracelets on the table, one large and one small, and was stunned.

Wei Zhuang sighed: "This is what I asked the minister to bring in the morning, and the little eunuch has been helping to collect it since I fell asleep, thinking that I would give it to you as a gift for the third anniversary in the evening." ”

Feng Shuwan was a little distracted: "But Xiaoyu said ......"

"Oh, you said those two palace maids also took bracelets, right?" Wei Zhuang shrugged: "I was too tired today, so I asked the two palace maids to press my legs, and the little eunuch gave them two silver bracelets when I left." ”

"Silver bracelets?"

"Yes, the eunuch probably wants to block the mouths of the two palace maids, for fear that they will tell me about entering my bedroom, and you know that there are rules in the palace......"

Feng Shuwan stretched out her hand and gently rubbed it on the pair of jade bracelets, and only after a long time did she ask, "Why is this jade bracelet different in size?" ”

Wei Zhuang explained: "This pair of bracelets is called Jade Mandarin Duck, which is worn by husband and wife, the woman's wrist is thin and wears a small bracelet, and the man's wrist is thicker, so he wears a big bracelet." ”

What Wei Zhuang said is true on this point. This pair of jade bracelets was discovered by Wei Zhuang when he copied Wei Pengcheng's house in the Qing Dynasty in the previous generations, and in this life he copied the general's mansion as soon as he ascended the throne, and this jade mandarin duck arrived in Wei Zhuang's hands a year in advance.

Looking at Wei Zhuang's eyes, Feng Shuwan knew that he shouldn't be lying, and the palace maid's matter was most likely a misunderstanding.

Now, thinking about her aggressive appearance just now, Feng Shuwan feels a little embarrassed. But for some reason, there is some relief in my heart.

Suddenly, Feng Shuwan thought of something again, and she asked again, "Since it was a misunderstanding, why didn't you explain it earlier?" ”

Wei Zhuang had a headache after listening: "Alas, every time I speak, you look like you don't want to answer and choke me back, how can I explain this?" ”

Feng Shuwan's expression was a little unnatural: "Then why are you driving me away again?" ”

Wei Zhuang stood up and smiled bitterly: "I'm not trying to drive you away." ”

As he spoke, he took out a folded piece of paper from his arms and put it in front of Feng Shuwan.

Feng Shuwan frowned slightly, opened the paper, and saw three big words written on the far right: and the detachment

Looking at these three words, Feng Shuwan was completely stunned.

In Qianguo, if a husband and wife cannot get by, the husband can divorce his wife. However, in this way, it will be difficult for the woman to remarry after leaving, and she will also suffer criticism, which is too unfair for some women who have been wronged in their husband's family and have to leave. As a result, the founding emperor of the Qianguo State promulgated the policy of "peace and separation".

And separation, as the name suggests, is peaceful separation. Unlike the letter of divorce, the divorce post means that the husband and wife are voluntarily separated, and the woman does not have to bear criticism and unfair treatment.

Wei Zhuang looked out the window, looking a little lost: "Actually, I also know that you don't like me, and you don't like life in the palace." But I'm always thinking about being nice to you, and you'll always accept me after a long time. But...... Alas, this is too selfish after all. ”

"I fell in love with you the first time I saw you, probably because you are so beautiful, and to be honest, I have never seen a woman more beautiful than you. Later, we got married, and although you always kept a little distance from me in life, I still fell in love with you completely because of your character. ”

"You are very kind, so good to everyone, and even more like a sister to Xiaoyu. You are better than me, in the big cage of the palace, you have never succumbed, unlike me, you are destined to not be able to leave from the moment you came to this world, and you have no ability to leave. ”

He suddenly smiled helplessly: "Actually, I also thought about it, if only I could take you out of here one day, we can eat together, read books together, and play the piano together every day......

After speaking, Wei Zhuang walked to the door with his back to Feng Shuwan, he pushed open the door and left a sentence: "You can keep the jade mandarin duck, keep you and Xiaoyu alone, I will have someone to help you clean it up tomorrow, and then send you back." Don't worry, I will personally go to your house to explain that you are still perfect and will not affect your remarriage. ”

And then ...... Take care. ”

After speaking, Wei Zhuang took a step and walked out.

Feng Shuwan sat alone in a chair.

The room was so dreary that she couldn't breathe.

She reached out and picked up the small jade bracelet and slowly put it on her wrist.

Well, the size is just right, and sure enough, it's for the husband and wife.

The sheet was spread out and lay quietly on the table, and as soon as the wind blew outside the window, it began to tremble slightly unsteadily, as if mocking people.

Tick, tick......

And off the sticker, two drops of water bloom and extend. Feng Shuwan was stunned and raised her hand to touch her cheek, but found that she had tears hanging on at some point.

Why did you cry?

She looked at the jade bracelet and the detachment, and understood everything in an instant.

Wei Zhuang came today to make two preparations, if he can respond to him a little today, even if it is just a little, Wei Zhuang will happily give her the jade mandarin duck, and then accompany her to eat as usual, tell her interesting things in the court, and leave the sticker, and it will not be taken out by Wei Zhuang.

In other words, this and the departure post were forced by himself to write down by Wei Zhuang.

When he wrote this and left the post, he probably felt even more uncomfortable than he is now......

Wei Zhuang's words just now were still playing back in Feng Shuwan's mind.

"Actually, I also thought about it, if only I could take you out of here one day, we can eat together, read books together, and play the piano together every day......"

How can this be so familiar, it seems to ...... I once said it myself.

It turned out that he was the same as himself, and he also thought about escaping from the deep palace and acting like an ordinary person. He also wants to live the most ordinary days sweeter and sweeter with himself like an ordinary loving couple.

It's just that why does he never show it, why does he never tell himself?

No, it's not!

Xiao Yu's words sounded in Feng Shuwan's heart again, making her heart tremble.

"The emperor is so good to Miss, Miss should also try to accept it."

Yes, everything is its own problem.

Wei Zhuang has been doing that since the day he married her. For three years, he has been eating with her, reading books with her, and listening to her play the piano......

Isn't this the life she's always longed for?

Feng Shuwan hugged her head in pain, tears raining down. It was she who denied everything in the palace from the beginning, and also denied Wei Zhuang.

It was she who resisted all the good of Wei Zhuang from the beginning.

There was another gust of wind in the courtyard, which rustled the leaves, and the sunlight spilled in through the gaps in the leaves and through the windows, shining on Feng Shuwan's face, reflecting a little bit of crystal.

In the breeze, scraps of paper fell down......
