Chapter 58 story

    Hua Yue remembered the time when Zhuang Shi took her out of the palace three years ago.

    At that time, Zhuang’s eyes were already invisible, and he stood outside the palace gate waiting for her, vaguely watching her come to him, and then reached out his hand to touch her face.

    Her hands were soft and hot, rubbing her outline little by little. When she touched her carefully, her eyes that had no focus at first slowly lit up, like a candle that was about to go out. The cigarette was lit again, the fire was lit, and everyone was alive by two points.

    “You will follow me in the future.” She smiled and said to her, “You are so pretty, don’t put a face on your face, the flowers are beautiful outside, and some are alive.”

    The voice and the smile are so gentle and beautiful.

    Hua Yue closed her eyes, and whispered to Shuang Jiang to arrange a few things. Shuang Jiang listened to each one, and stopped talking about Zhuang’s business. She just saluted and left, and the skirt and hairpin disappeared in the corner of the room in a moment.

    “Young madam.” The housekeeper walked around from the outside and bowed his hands to her in embarrassment, “The third son just heard the news that His Majesty had left him to play chess in the palace, and he may not be able to play chess tonight. return.”

    This is unusual, Li Jingyun first took office, and it is beneficial and harmless to be able to obtain holy family. Hua Yue nodded and asked inexplicably, “Why do you look like this?”

      The wife is seriously ill, and the third son is not there. It just so happens that the fifth prince was named a prince. He opened the door and sent an invitation to the mansion to invite us over to the mansion for a dinner. , the third son is back, maybe he will send the servant to the backyard.”

    The more he talked, the more worried he became, as if thinking of the kitchen servants who had been sent away earlier.

    “I thought it was something, even this trivial matter can make you so anxious.” Hua Yue disapproved, put on her skirt and left, “I’ll take someone there.”

    “What’s the best way to ask the third son?” The housekeeper hurriedly followed her and asked.

    Not knowing whether to laugh or cry, Huayue said: “The third son is not that monstrous beast, the communication between the official residences is a common occurrence, and there is no one in the residence at the moment, if I go there, can he still blame him? Saying that I am going, it has nothing to do with you.”

    The housekeeper breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately ordered people to pack up the carriage, horse and sedan, and bundle up the prepared gifts.

    Since she said goodbye to Luohua Street last time, Huayue has not seen Zhou Hemin for a long time, and she couldn’t help but ask Badou first on the way: “What kind of achievements did the fifth prince make? Is it a prince?”

    Ba Dou sat on the carriage and shook his legs with a smile: “It was news that the fifth prince wanted to seal the prince, but now it has suddenly fallen. If you want to talk about merit, he must not have it. , I was impeached and punished by the officials for riding a horse on Luohua Street before, and I can still open the palace and seal the king, which is considered the favor of the Holy One.”

      Tired him.

    I felt guilty, and I felt more devout when I bowed to the moon.

    “I have seen the prince.”

    Zhou Hemin was eating fruit, and when he saw her, he smiled and said, “Why are you so unruly? When people come to congratulate and give gifts, they all kneel and salute.”

    Looking up with a complicated look, Huayue looked at his posture: “Do you look like you want to be treated properly?”

    “What’s wrong with me?” Zhou Hemin raised his eyebrows, and raised his chin as soon as he turned the folding fan in his hand, “Isn’t this dignified?”

    He is very handsome, if the lower body is not riding on the wall of the courtyard, it will be even more handsome.

    Hua Yue shook her head helplessly, rubbed her neck hard, raised her head and asked him, “Why are you here?”

    “I should ask you this.” Zhou Hemin leaned against the wall and lowered his body slightly, teasing, “Ordinary guests are drinking and drinking tea in the main court, how did you find me? It’s Yue Lao’s. Tow, or the magpie bridge thrown from the sky?”

    Looking at him blankly, Huayue pointed to the toilet next to her.

    “It’s you who will pick the place.” She said, “If you continue, this party will never come, and the little girl won’t say anything.”

    Chou and Min: “…”

    After half a column of incense, the two sat in the open and bright hexagonal pavilion, and the servants and servants stood in two rows, Huayue sat opposite him, and asked him in a low voice: “What is the crime? already?”

      Sue the crime, then go back to the palace to copy the documents, and don’t go out for half a month.”

    “That’s fine.” Hua Yue said, “There is no punishment like the court in the palace.”

    “It’s not going anywhere.” Zhou Hemin sighed, “Did you not see the quarrel between the Empress and Concubine Yao in the middle palace, oh, you must be smashed by something when you put your head on your knees. .”

    Hua Yue was stunned: “Yao Guifei, this noble concubine dares to quarrel with the queen and smash things in person?”

    You guys are really unruly savages.

    “You don’t know Yao Guifei?” Zhou Hemin raised his eyebrows, “The prince’s biological mother, the most favored niece in the palace, she naturally has the confidence to argue with the middle palace, and the royal father also favors her. Let her make a fuss and never ask her guilt.”

    What else? Hua Yue was speechless: “What origin is this Yao Guifei?”

    “The Yao family is not a famous family, and they had a good relationship with your general’s mansion before. General Li also saved Yao Guifei’s life, but after Yao Guifei entered the palace, the two families had no contact. It’s gone.” He showed his fan and shook it gently, “I don’t understand why the royal father is not fond of her because of his family background. Anyway, even if Yao Guifei is lawless, she will be the queen mother in the future.”

    Hua Yue remembered that every time the Zhuang family entered the palace, she only went to greet the empress, and couldn’t help sweating. Will this Yao Guifei hold a grudge against the general’s mansion in the future?

    “I’m here today to tell you a story, why are you listening to me with gusto?” Zhou Hemin looked at her with displeasure against his fan, “Tell me now, you’re doing this girl What did you do before?”

    Hua Yue returned to her senses, and said helplessly: “What good stories can people who lead slaves have a good story? But even if they were raised at home, they once raised a stubborn temperament that they didn’t care about. It is only when the road falls and depends on others that I begin to understand things.”

    “You don’t look like a simple family.” Danfeng stared at her, Zhou Hemin seemed to smile, “It’s not an exaggeration to say that you were hacked by the whole family, you have hatred in your eyes. Hey, it’s not open at all, and I don’t dare to ask for what I want, it’s clear that I don’t plan to live to the end.”

    The young man with red lips and white teeth speaks as if peeling skin and scraping bones, Huayue’s heart skips a beat when she hears it, she stretches out her hand to cover her face: “Wang ye, can you stop looking at people all the time? ?”

    “It’s not that I have to see it, you are too conspicuous.” He helplessly spread his hands, “I have met a lot of people, none of them are as contradictory as you, it is really better than that The shadow puppets hidden in the boxes are interesting.”

    Recognizing that she was being treated as a joke, Hua Yue sank her face, got up and said: “The story is over, this room will retire first.”

    “Hey, don’t, I won’t talk about this anymore.” He held his fan and blocked her way, “Don’t rush to leave, how can anyone tell a story and finish it in one sentence? Tell me what you did, and how you got here.”

    If I say this, I am afraid that the palace will have to be sealed when it just opened.

    Yin Huayue sighed, turned around and sat down, thought about it, and pressed the tea cup on the table seriously: “This is a long story, please listen to me carefully. .”

    Then she began to make up.

    The two sat in this pavilion, one lying and the other listening, but they were quite comfortable. Zhou Hemin didn’t interrupt her, just listened to her from literacy at the age of five to being a slave at the age of fifteen. His eyes were full of smiles.

    Li Jingyun came back from the palace and saw the dark east courtyard without even a lamp, he was stunned, grabbed the housekeeper and asked, “Where’s the young lady?”

    The housekeeper said tremblingly, “I went to the banquet at the palace, but I haven’t returned yet.”

    After saying that, afraid that he would be guilty, she hurriedly followed Huayue’s instructions: “The young lady said she wanted to go, and there is no one else in the mansion who can support her.”

    Wangfu, Zhou Hemin’s banquet.

    Li Jingyun was silent for a while, his eyes fell on the empty door, and he nodded without a smile: “Okay, I see.”

    The housekeeper was so frightened that he retreated against the wall, and when he escaped the sight of the master, he turned his head and ran towards the side door.

    Hua Yue came back not too late, but when she got out of the car, she saw the housekeeper sweating profusely and greeted him: “The third son has been waiting for you in the East Court for half an hour.”

    “He’s back?” Hua Yue said as she walked in, “It’s still early to come back, I don’t think I’ll be busy with anything recently.”

     Stepping over the threshold of the east courtyard, the lights were bright, she pushed open the door and went in, and saw Li Jingyun sitting on the soft couch with a sullen face, reading the documents.

    “What?” After closing the door, she asked with concern, “Is something wrong in the palace?”

    Yu Guang glanced at her, Li Jingyun muttered: “No.”

    “Then what are you doing with that dignified face?” Hua Yue looked over her head, “Which word do you not know?”

    Closed the book and threw it aside, he looked at her and smiled: “You come back so late, you have nothing to say to the master?”

    This is the end of time, is it too late? She looked at him and decided to follow his wishes: “My concubine came back late, and I asked my husband to forgive me, but today is not my concubine’s playfulness. I only went here because the palace had a banquet to greet her.”

    Recalling what she said earlier, if she knew that she owed the fifth prince, she would not be so easy to explain, Li Jingyun felt unhappy and asked coldly, “I invited him with others?”

    “It doesn’t really count.” Hua Yue said honestly, “I said two words alone in the pavilion, and there were slaves and maids by my side, so it didn’t break the rules.”

    After she finished speaking, she felt that something was not right, and looked down at him: “Husband, wouldn’t you even like this kind of thing?”

    “Where can I do it.” He turned his face away, “Just ask.”

    “Then what are you doing with this yin and yang?” Hua Yue felt amused, “Is this concubine so unbelievable?”

    This is not a matter of belief or disbelief, Li Jingyun finds it annoying, he has never been a stingy person, but he just doesn’t want her to meet Zhou and Min, Shen Zhiluo and the like, and he doesn’t speak normally. Happy to meet outside his eyelids, it would be even more annoying.

    Holding a breath in her heart and unable to spit at her, Li Jingyun picked up the book to cover her face, and said solemnly, “It’s alright, go and rest.”

    The man in front of him did not speak, and the room fell silent.

    Li Jingyun stared at the words in the book, and didn’t read a single one.

    Are you talking too much? Will this puppy think blindly?

    Should you cry again?

    Shocked, he quickly pulled the book down and hurriedly looked to the side.

    Hua Yue brought a plate of candied fruit and was looking at him with a smile, and when he saw him looking up, he handed the plate over: “On the way back, Jing’an Tang had not closed the shop, so my concubine brought it with me. So, if you are really angry, then bite two to put out the fire.”

    His eyes were stunned, he took the plate and felt a little guilty: “You have a better temper now, and you don’t make trouble with me.”

    “The husband has been working hard recently, if the concubine is still noisy, it will be very tired.” She waved her hand, “It is normal for the superior, to have doubts, the concubine has a clear conscience, wait for you to have someone check Once you’re done, you’ll be clear, what’s the trouble.”

    My heart softened, Li Jingyun pulled her over, bit her side neck, and muttered: “Master is not a high-ranking person in front of you, and I won’t let anyone check you, that is—that is If you are not happy for a while, don’t take it to heart.”

    Hua Yue raised her eyebrows and asked him strangely, “Is it really unpalatable?”

    “No.” He answered decisively.

      There’s still sugar on the lips.

    “The third master is generous.” She smiled.

    “That’s it.” The man bit the candied fruit and said vaguely, “Can those who will go to war in the future be as stingy as those sour literati?”

    “No.” Holding his neck, Huayue smiled and looked at the moon outside the window.

    ***

    Shen’s house is not far from the altar, but it is a long way from the streets of Jinghua. Every time the car comes back, Su Miao feels that her bones are going to be scattered, so she simply stays in the house. Without going out, the scarlet veil is covered with sleeves, and people lie on the flower terrace and watch the birds outside.

    “Su Miao.” He frowned, “What is your style?”

    The man by the window turned his head and smiled at him: “Come and see, there are two birds quarreling outside.

    He walked over and took a look, his purple eyes half-closed: “It’s boring.”

    Brows fell, Su Miao said aggrievedly, “It’s such a big yard, what’s the fun in letting people stay there every day? Yesterday, I asked you to accompany me around, but you didn’t want to. ”

    Shen Zhiluo didn’t want to bother with her, but she couldn’t help but grit her teeth: “I want to go for a walk on the mountain in the middle of the night, but no one would like it.”

    With a coquettish snort, Su Miao pulled his sleeve: “Then tell me a story now, you know so many things, just pick two interesting things to tell .”

    Sit down beside her, Shen Zhiluo glanced at the compass in his hand, and hesitated.

    He just counted an extremely bad hexagram about the general’s mansion. He wanted to tell her, but he felt it was unnecessary.

    Yin Huayue is right, it is his ability to see the fate of heaven, but if he has to tell others about his bad fate, it is a sin.

    After thinking about it, he said: “There is a very interesting thing, I am afraid no one in this world knows about it.”

    Su Miao grabbed a handful of melon seeds and stared at him without blinking.

    “Many years ago, there was a palace maid who was chosen to go to a neighboring country. In the end, when she was about to die, she was rescued back home and accepted as a concubine.”

    “This girl is thankful, and she doesn’t want to go home, so she serves the host in this mansion. But this girl found out within a few years that there was always someone in the palace who couldn’t get along with the lady, thinking about Fa’er’s pickiness and embarrassment, and even the whole mansion was at risk.”

    Su Miao listened to the music: “Is this still picked up by a big family?”

    “Yes.” Shen Zhiluo said meaningfully, “Big families have always been right and wrong.”

    “This girl is in a hurry, so she asked the lady in the palace why she couldn’t get along with the mansion. After I asked, I found out that this host is incredible. She has an old relationship with the lady in the palace, and the lady is jealous. I can’t see him showing affection, but he was just blowing the pillow wind for the person sitting on the dragon chair, which caused the host’s official career to be bumpy, and he was imprisoned several times.”

    How else? Su Miaozhi frowned: “Immorality.”

    Shen Zhiluo chuckled: “Guess what the girl has in mind?”

    As soon as her eyes rolled, Su Miao clapped at the table: “Isn’t it just jealousy? I pretended to tell the empress that she still had something in the general’s heart, and even coaxed and deceived the mansion first. ”

    …It’s not that the family does not enter the house.

    Shen Zhiluo was very emotional: “You are as smart as that girl, but the empress is also smart, you can’t convince her in a few words, she will spare the whole house only if the lady in the house is dead. Up and down, how are you doing?”

    Su Miao was speechless: “Are all the women in the palace so cruel?”

    The person in front of her gave her a look: “Be careful.”

     scratching her ears and temples in distress, Su Miao said, “There is no other way, ask Madam what she thinks?”

    ” The lady said she was willing, but she was afraid that the master would love her and would not want to live after her death, and she had to find a way to get revenge, which would affect the whole family, so she wanted you to help her. If you hide it, say she died of illness.”

    He swept the end of his eyes and raised his chin slightly: “What about you?”

    Su Miao’s face was wrinkled: “Isn’t this embarrassing? Who would believe that a good person suddenly died of illness? The host will investigate, and I can’t survive?”

    “You are smarter than that girl, and that girl chose to agree.” Shen Zhiluo hummed, “So she has nothing to do in the future.”

    Su Miao was not too happy: “What about the empress in the palace?”

    “I live well, my son became a prince.”

    “What kind of interesting story is this?” She was anxious, and pounced on his shirt.

    The two suddenly looked at each other, Su Miao swallowed, the anger on her face dissipated, and her eyebrows twitched again: “Then I’m not in a hurry, I’ll take it slow.”

    Shen Zhiluo: “…”

    Gritting his teeth and pushing the person away, he said, “I don’t have time to spend with you.”

    Injured and rolled to the side, Su Miao put on shoes and stayed on the bed, closed the red yarn and said, “Then I’ll go out to find someone to play with.”

    The throat tightened, Shen Zhiluo took her back, pinched her cool gauze and said angrily: “Change.”

    The fox’s eyes moved slightly, Su Miao sat on his lap and sighed: “It’s really worthy of being the commander of my beam, it’s too dark and unfathomable, you care about it, look It seems like he likes me. But something really happened, and I have no place in my heart.”

    Shen Zhiluo frowned: “You and I are married, why are you talking about this?”

    “I just said it casually, and I won’t care about you.” Getting up and changing clothes, Su Miao closed her dress and looked back with a smile, “If Your Highness asks, you can just do it. Saying that we are like glue, this marriage is secure.”

    He sank his face, stared at the door for a while, the rune embroidered hairband was rolled up by the wind outside the window, and covered his eyebrows slyly.

    In the afternoon, Shuangjiang came over, she knelt in front of him and respectfully said: “National teacher, someone asked me to ask, do you count Zhuang’s fate?”

    Shen Zhiluo sat in the main seat and didn’t answer, only said: “If she doesn’t believe it, don’t keep asking.”

    Shuang Jiang looked up at him: “Others don’t know, do you still know? If it wasn’t for desperation, she would never open this mouth to you.”

    Unknown suffering, not believing in gods and Buddhas, Zhuang’s condition is getting worse and worse in the past few days, Yin Huayue will randomly choose this doctor.

     Silently rubbing the Qiankun disk, Shen Zhiluo sighed, and after a long time said: “Life and death are fate, you should let her be careful.”

    Shuangjiang understood what she heard, but she didn’t dare to speak directly to Huayue when she went back, she only made up two good words to relieve her.

    Yin Huayue really believed it and poured a cup of tea into the porcelain cup in front of her with confidence.

    She is sitting in a wing of Qifeng Building, there is a dark hole in the wall of this room, and you can clearly hear the sound from next door.

    “It’s been a few years, right?” Kang Zhenzhong held the wine glass with a half-smile and cupped his hands to the man in front of him, “I didn’t expect to be able to sit like this again.”

    Li Shoutian looked at him with a complicated expression, took the wine and drank, his voice was two more old for no reason: “It’s rare that you are willing to invite me.”

    Bewildered, Li Shoutian leaned forward: “For so many years, I’ve been wanting to ask you, why did I feel sorry for you, and you broke my brotherhood for no reason? Still sneering and sarcastic?”

    Looking from side to side, Kang Zhenzhong laughed: “It’s just the two of us here, why do you pretend to not understand? Ramadan is known underground, I’m afraid that I regret marrying such a cruel person like you. Not even dying.”
