Chapter 418: Fate Is Not Divided (4th More Subscription)
"Sneeze ......"
Looking at the gradually cooler weather outside, as the most majestic man in the world, he couldn't stand it.
I sneezed.
Listening to this sneeze, the old eunuch standing on the side hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, do you need the old slave to get you some hot tea?"
"No need, the milk tea newly delivered from the Western Regions recently is very delicious, and isn't it also hot, what's the difference?"
The emperor said indifferently.
Since that night, there seems to have been a kind of estrangement between the two men, and they are no longer invisible close friends as before.
Listening to the emperor's words, the old eunuch was stunned for a while.
"Milk Tea ...... in the Western Regions"
He muttered.
In the words, there is a bit of loneliness.
He didn't know what was wrong, but the person in front of him must not want him to appear in front of him.
Really.
After not half an hour of work, His Majesty the Emperor asked him to go out for a walk first, and helped him see how the flowers and plants in the imperial garden were doing.
The old eunuch, who was a slave, naturally could only agree, and then closed the door and went out.
Autumn is coming, and everything is withering in the autumn wind.
The flowers and plants in the Imperial Garden were well cared for by the craftsmen, and did not shiver in autumn like other plants, and then gradually withered until they continued to bloom the following year.
However, the old eunuch knew.
One day, he will be like those withered flowers and plants, waiting for the passing of winter and the arrival of spring.
But unlike it, his spring ...... But it's so far away.
And his winter is endless.
The cold palace next to the imperial garden was as deserted as him, and he hesitated outside the cold palace gate for a long time, wandering back and forth, a little hesitant in his heart.
"Who are you, why did you linger in front of the cold palace for a long time, not aggressive and not leaving, didn't you want to steal something?"
A little palace maid stood at the door of the cold palace and shouted.
When the old eunuch saw this palace maid, he asked, "Who are you? I have been in this palace for so long, why have I never seen you? Could it be that you want to steal, but a thief shouting to catch a thief?"
"You are talking nonsense! I am a palace maid newly sent by the emperor to take care of Niangniang, Niangniang is hungry in the middle of the night, and I came out to find something to eat for her. ”
What the little palace maid said was reasonable, and the old lady listened, with a smile on her face.
"The palace maid who was sent into the cold palace should be the same as the master, not allowed to go out of the palace gate for half a step, you just came out rashly, and you are not afraid of being discovered, how many boards will you pull?"
When the little palace maid heard this, she was suddenly stunned.
He only heard Niangniang say that he was hungry, and he ran out without thinking so much, and it seemed that Niangniang also asked herself not to go out and walk around.
"Alright. Since you and I can meet again, it's fate, why don't I go find some food for you and send it to you?"
"You're old, but I don't think you're a good person, so you don't want to bribe me with food to help you steal something, so I won't be so stupid. ”
The old eunuch smiled, "In the palace, a little girl as big as you is as shrewd as a ghost. There are not many innocent and pure people like you, but in the palace, innocence and purity are not a compliment. ”
"From now on, you can stay in the cold palace, if you lack anything, or if you want to eat, just tell me, and I will help you get it. I've lived in the palace for most of my life, and if you want to be free or can't give it to you, but if you want things like food, clothing, shelter and transportation, I can still get some. ”
The little palace maid was a little skeptical.
So he nodded and said, "Since you are so powerful, then get me some osmanthus cakes to eat." ”
"Doesn't Niangniang like to eat pear blossoms the most?"
"If you know what your mother wants to eat, then bring some back." ”
The old eunuch nodded.
Then he left with slow steps, and the little palace maid couldn't help but be a little anxious when she watched at the palace gate, walking so slowly, when would she be able to send those food back?
The old eunuch walked through the secret door in the palace.
The secret doors in the palace have already been explored clearly and clearly.
After all, I have lived here for decades, and it is difficult to think about it when I walk back and forth every day.
At this time, even if a black cloth was covered over his eyes, he was able to follow the breath of the road to the imperial dining room.
"Oh, you slow down and eat less, or you'll be found miserable tomorrow. ”
"It's rare for us to have a night errand, how can we get back to our roots if we don't eat a little more? Don't forget, in order to eat more, we have paid a lot of silver this month. ”
"Harm, let's not talk about this yet, let's think about how to get out first, there seem to be a bunch of guards outside, and the information you kid bought with money doesn't seem to be very accurate. ”
The imperial dining room, which was supposed to be silent, suddenly had three more voices, and the old eunuch walked over, opened the door directly, and found that the three little eunuchs were secretly eating there, and it seemed that they should have just entered the palace.
"Gong ...... Father-in-law ......"
As soon as the three of them saw the appearance of the old eunuch, they understood that the other party must be a senior veteran who had survived in the palace for a long time.
Even if you don't have the eyesight to see it, you should understand something when you see the python robe on the other party.
After all, it didn't take too long to enter the palace, but it was half a year and a year, and the identity of this old man could be guessed at a glance.
"Why are you here late at night? ”
One of them had the audacity to joke.
The other two were terrified, and were afraid to die, for fear that the old eunuch would make things difficult for them, or denounce their deeds.
"It's understandable that you're hungry and come here to get something to eat. Go on, I'll take my things, and you eat yours. ”
The old eunuch said.
After finishing speaking, he directly ignored the few people in front of him and walked towards the place where the osmanthus cake was placed in the imperial dining room.
"Eh, father-in-law, that's Concubine Huan's!"
"Niangniang said that she will eat tomorrow during the day. ”
The eunuchs panicked.
"If anyone tracks you down, tell them that I let you eat. Also, thank you for me. ”
After the old eunuch finished speaking, he casually took the pear blossom cui in another cabinet.
Then he walked out leisurely. After he left, the three little eunuchs looked at each other, not knowing whether they should continue to stay here to eat or leave in this situation.
"This money has been spent, and you can't come back, if you don't eat more today to get back to the capital, then will you dare to eat in the next few days?"
Among them, the previous one said jokingly.
When the other two heard it, it seemed that there was a little bit of truth, they were actually discovered, and there was nothing to do, so it was a big deal to eat first and then talk about it, even if there were many things in the back, they couldn't hide it, so it was better to eat first and then talk about it.
So the three of them, who were in the spirit of eating one less meal, ate most of the leftovers in the imperial dining room that were originally going to be fed to the pigs.
Don't look at it, it's going to be fed to the livestock, but the appearance of these dishes is not bad at all, and the emperor and the ladies don't plan to use them after eating only a little bit.
There were even some who didn't even move their chopsticks, so they were sent back as they were, but those cooks didn't dare to steal food, so they had to cheapen these palace maids and eunuchs who kept vigil.
And naturally, they have to pay some benefits and give them to those cooks.
Otherwise, if the other party reports it, or puts something in those dishes, they will be able to bear it.
The old eunuch who had taken the food walked on the way back, and the moon hung high, as if he had met the woman who had haunted him for most of his life.
He had food in his hands. I became more and more worried in my heart, and when I came to the cold palace gate, the little palace maid was still anxiously wandering in front of the palace gate, and kept muttering that she had been deceived.
"I'm not a liar. ”
The old eunuch came to the palace gate and said with a smile.
The osmanthus cake in her hand made the little palace maid happy for a while.
"Okay, for the sake of you bringing the food here, I believe that you are not a bad person for the time being, but you can't enter the cold palace, otherwise I will invite you to go and sit down, if you go in and be discovered, you will also be punished. ”
The little palace maid said.
It's quite lively and cute.
"I know, but I haven't been in here for a long time to see, and there was an old man locked up here, can you let me go and see it?"
The old eunuch said.
In the palace, the first person in the martial arts would be so low-minded as a little palace maid to ask.
"But aren't you afraid of being beaten up, you know that you're not as lovely as I am, and no one will pity you. ”
The little palace maid looked at him seriously and said.
"I know, I'm just going in and taking a look, no one will do anything to me, and no one will dare. ”
The old eunuch nodded with a smile and said.
The little girl hesitated, and then quickly opened a side door next to the cold palace and asked the old eunuch to hurry in.
"Let me tell you, this side door seems to have been specially left by some craftsmen who built the palace, and I think they saw that the mother was too good-looking, so they left such a side door. I can't bear to see her stay in this cold palace all day long. ”
The little palace maid chattered non-stop along the way, usually there were only two people in this cold palace, she and Niangniang, but now an outsider finally came, and she could talk a few words.
The lady in the cold palace doesn't like to talk, she just sits with a smile all day long, watching, no matter how much the little palace maid says, she will only say a sentence or two from time to time.
This old eunuch is also very strange, similar to Niangniang, and always likes to look at it with a smile.
"Niangniang is probably still waiting for me to go back in front of the window at this time, you see, sure enough, her shadow is on it. ”
The little palace maid pointed to the shadow reflected in the window in the wing room with some excitement, and it could be seen that it was a slender back.
The old eunuch's hands trembled a little.
He couldn't believe that the person in front of him was the shadow of the person he had been thinking about for decades.
As the first martial artist in the palace, he has been psychologically stimulated a lot recently, all from the extremely deep pain in his heart.
"Are you old and weak? Can it be cold in this kind of weather? Although autumn is coming, it looks like you are not wearing thin clothes. ”
The little palace maid asked suspiciously.
"No, little girl, you go outside to play first, and how about I get osmanthus cake for you tomorrow?"
The old eunuch is like a trafficker who is coaxing an ignorant girl, trying to make the little girl do what he wants.
The little palace maid was a little puzzled, but after glancing at the osmanthus cake in her hand, she knew the truth of eating people's soft mouths, so she still nodded and walked to the side to watch.
She was originally a young lady from your country's family, but it was because her father who committed an accident caused her to become a palace maid.
Fortunately, the lady in this cold palace treats people gently, not as mean and unreasonable as people outside the palace say.
I'm really no different here except for some work.
Thinking of this, this optimistic young lady was very happy to eat osmanthus cake, and she remembered that the last time she ate it was a few months ago.
At that time, the family was still very good, and my father was very good to people.
It's just that all of this is in a flash of smoke.
When the old eunuch came to the door of the room, he did not dare to make a sound, nor did he dare to approach, but watched silently at the door.
The woman inside didn't notice it at all, but wondered why the little palace maid hadn't come back for so long, was she caught by the guards patrolling outside?
People who are still scurrying around in the middle of the night in the palace are inevitably eaten with a board.
Thinking of this, this lady couldn't help but be a little worried.
When I looked out the window, I found that I didn't know when there was an extra plate of pear blossoms on the windowsill.
"How does this girl know I like this?"
The mother was a little surprised, and looked up to find that the little girl was sitting not far away.
"Come back soon, the flying thieves will come before the lights are out. ”
Niangniang frightened.
This flying thief was once told to her by a person, but it had been so long that she only had a few words that seemed to her when she told it to others, but the innocence of the little palace maid was extremely worthy.
Now, whenever she hears the name Flying Thief, she will look extremely frightened.
Niangniang was extremely satisfied with this, because this story was always only used by the person to scare her, but unfortunately everything is now over.
"It's a shame......"
Niangniang sighed again, which broke the heart of the old eunuch outside the wall.
How did you become like this?
If the two didn't meet at the beginning, wouldn't it be better?
If you don't see each other, how ruthless is affection.
"Niangniang, why do you like to eat things like pear blossom cui, bitter and not bitter, sweet and not sweet, strange things. ”
"This is my life, not happy or sad, not bitter or sweet, isn't it?"
The mother's mentality is very optimistic.
The old eunuch just hid in the corner and listened, silent, and burst into tears.
The two have been waiting for each other in this world for many years, but they have never seen each other.
The most regrettable thing in this world is that there is no fate, and there is love but not being able to stay together.
