box of hearts

Chapter 158
The chiming of the bells on the Qiao Tower is exhausted, and the painting horn is about to blow. It seems that the night is past halfway.In the Yiliangxuan in the garden, several goat horn palace lanterns are still bright and brilliant, and there is also a delicately carved candle slave, a maid in the Tang Dynasty, holding a pair of candles with a smile on her face, and a pair of white jade faces that seem to be open but not open Eyes, with two smoked quartz inlaid in the bottom of the eyes, circulating and generating waves, staring at the person who snatched the door.

Qi She was panting heavily, her head covered with wet snowflakes, she stopped at the door, staring blankly: Qingtian was sitting on an embroidered pier with a brocade mat on his lap, his eyes were dull, Like the white cat on the mat.He gritted his teeth, staggered forward and squatted down to touch the already cold Yu, his hands were still in the air, and he was stopped.

"You don't touch it," she said.

Qi She raised her head slightly, and saw that Qingtian's face was dry without a trace of tears, and his eyes were darkened and haggard.He turned his hand and stretched it up, sticking to her face, and with great effort he called out: "Qingtian..."

But her lips moved again, and said coldly: "Don't touch me."

After a long period of painful silence, Qi Shefang started to argue, but he felt that he couldn't argue with anything.

"I'm really sorry, I'm late. You know, there have been too many things recently, and they all rushed together. Several local officials were delayed in Beijing. I dealt with them all night, and—"

"No need to make it up."

Qi She was startled, and looked up, "What do you mean by that?"

Qingtian's tone was insensitive: "Princess Wang is your wife, why do you need to cover it up with excuses?"

The messy thoughts turned over, Qi She felt guilty, but he only insisted on it: "This is inexplicable, how did you pull out the princess? Speak, Qingtian, say something."

"I told you, don't touch me."

Still looking down deeply, his voice was weak but determined.Qi She had no choice but to withdraw his palm again, tangled and at a loss.Next, I had no choice but to explain, explain, and comfort in a hurry: "Qingtian, I will go to the princess and hand over the re-election list to her. I said a few words, and there is nothing else..." "Don't do this, I I know you will feel uncomfortable when Zaiyu is gone, but you shouldn't think about it..." "I'm also thinking about Zaiyu, but you said that a big official in the frontier is there, I can't just open my mouth and be sent away..."" Just as the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi left, the governor of water transportation and the governor of rivers came again..." "After seeing these people in a row, I was really tired, so I took a nap in the study, and fell asleep as soon as anyone thought about it... ..." "I didn't see Shang Zaiyu for the last time, and I felt the same, so don't make me feel more uncomfortable, okay..." "Qingtian, I'm sorry, you can blame me however you want, don't be so silent, Say something, huh? Talk..."

Qingtian's clothes are embroidered with phoenixes, bamboos, orchids, chrysanthemums, and plums, and the inscription means "Fengming Chunxiao".But no matter how exhausted the other party was, she was as cold as three winters, she didn't say a word, she just put her hands firmly around her, and occasionally her eyes moved, and she glanced sideways at her shoulders or knees, just to signal him to take it. The hand that was forgotten for a while and then touched.

The icy and heavy snow water melted one by one, seeping into the muscle marrow.Qi She's patience finally ran out as he ran out of words, he took two steps back and stood up, "Will you say something?!" He only heard his anxious breath, as if spinning around the eaves of the building There is a kind of mania with nowhere to go.

"Duan Qingtian, don't try to deceive people too much! Don't say it's nothing, so what if I'm really with the princess? Which princes and nobles don't have three wives and four concubines? You said it yourself, the princess is my wife. , I spent the night with the main room, what kind of rule of heaven have I violated! It’s snowing so much, and it’s freezing in the middle of the night, so I don’t have to rush back in my sedan chair on horseback, even if it’s just to get back. You, you have to accept this favor too! Speak, you say something! Can you fucking give me a word, huh? Speak!!"

The place where Qingtian is located is like a black hole that swallows sound, Qi She only feels that a heart in his chest has been swallowed - people have no heart.

"Okay, okay," he nodded viciously and coldly to her, "If you really have to do this, then do it this way—I'll invite your Mr. Once you have a spring night, we will be evened, okay?"

Qing Tian, ​​who had never glanced at him from the beginning to the end, finally raised his eyes and met his eyes. Qi She couldn't tell what kind of eyes it was, but he never wanted her to look at him like this in his life.Ten thousand kinds of embarrassment turned into anger and suddenly softened, but before he could find half a word of reconciliation, Qingtian's eyes jumped again, and he aimed behind him.Qi She turned her head, and through the half-open door, she saw Youyan leading a woman, but it was Wangfei Xiangshou's nurse Yao. The two of them obviously heard the dispute between him and Qingtian, and their expressions were embarrassingly static for a moment.

Youyan is good at responding, and quickly pretended to be dusting off the snow, threw on the reed flower dark-patterned jacket on her body, and said nonchalantly: "My lord, Yao's mother said something important, so this servant brought her in directly, and asked the lord—— "Nurse Yao has already rushed forward, and slapped her thighs heavily with both hands, "It's amazing, my lord, my concubine has committed suicide, you should go back quickly!"

Qi She was greatly surprised, "What?"

"Let's go, my lord, the house is in chaos! Let's go, let's go!..."

Nanny Yao tried to persuade her, and at the same time ordered a few maidservants to hand over clothes and fetch umbrellas, and she was persuaded by Qi She to leave in a gust of wind.Qingtian withdrew his gaze and looked down at his knees again.She will never forget in her life, how Zai Yu's blue eyes sank into the eternal darkness in her arms one breath at a time.She couldn't accept that Zai Yu was dead, and there was still a red mark on her wrist where it scratched before it died, which was still very fresh.No, her cock is not dead, its naughty little paws are scratching, right between her internal organs, scratching, scratching non-stop.

5.
It wasn't until he returned to the palace that Qi She figured out Nanny Yao's intentional vagueness.It turned out that Princess Xiangshou wanted to go back to Ruyuan from her bed because her husband was windy and snowy. She felt ashamed and angry, crying and wanting to die, and was held down by a group of girls to persuade her.Qi She was already full of anger, but when she saw this scene, everyone scolded her head and face, and the scolding made everyone feel ashamed and avoided each other.

It was almost dawn at this time, and this day was the third day of junior high school. As usual, there was a sitting at the Huangji Gate.Qi She wiped her face casually, and was about to change clothes and go out.

At night, the concubine's maid brought a fruit box containing candied sweets such as osmanthus root and lychee, and several plates of delicate salty and sweet pastries such as bean curd buns and soft cream rolls. The bowl was directly under Qi She's nose, "My lord doesn't eat breakfast, why don't you make up for it, eat a few snacks, drink a few sips of ginseng soup, how can you have an empty stomach?" Qi She was about to get angry again, But his eyelids twitched, staring at Wan Wan's hand that was still on the porcelain bowl.On her hand is a blue osmanthus ring, the ring face is huge and the color is extremely pure.He raised his head and squinted into her eyes, coughed dryly and said, "You stay and serve me dinner, and the others go down."

Avoiding the eyes and ears, in less than ten sentences, Wan Wan revealed the former situation and the latter reason.Qi She was dumbfounded, "Where?"

"It's on the north side of Xipeiyuan Middle Road, behind the dock, where has the prince been there? Mother Yao forced me to open up the young cigarettes, and I was coaxed by Miss Duan to dry and freeze in the Datong corridor by the lake for more than half a month. Time. I see that Miss Duan is still holding a small basket in her hand. I am afraid that there is something important waiting to be presented to the prince. The slaves have already said what should be said. The prince must take care of the slaves and let Mother Yao know. , the life of a servant is hard. This belongs to Miss Duan, the prince should return it to her on behalf of the servant." Wan Wan took off the sapphire ring from her hand, bent her neck and offered it.

"You take what she gave you." Qi She smiled wearily, and waved his hand to signal Wanwan to leave.

One blessing at a time every night, I am very proud of my intelligence in my heart.Concubine Xiangshou is a beauty lamp, she doesn't talk when she doesn't do anything, but Nanny Yao next to her is an old bastard who acts like a bully and pretends to be a tiger, she doesn't pay attention to anyone, even the first-class maids like them are treated by her all the time. Squeezing back and forth, there was a lot of slander in the upper and lower abdomen.Others can't cure it, so the prince can't cure it?Wanwan opened the curtain and left the house, threw the ring in his hand high, and faced Xueqing again, catching this handful of azure blue light.

In the room, Qi She and his pain were left alone; it was as if he had ridden a horse in a blizzard last night, and the heavy furs all over his body could not resist the icy cold and stinging pain all over the sky.He has always understood that Qingtian regards Zaiyu as her child—it is her child. When her child was blinded by an arrogant maid of his, she never complained to him, but when she hugged Zaiyu When the dying child stayed in the cold and snow, and the father who was supposed to be with him was playing with the clouds and rain on the other bed, shouldn't she still have no complaints?Qi She spread out his palms and buried his face in them.When he sees Qingtian again, no matter how she ignores him or utters bad words, he will never reply a word, he will let her punish him, and apologize to her with his heart.Determined, but refreshed, he got into the sedan chair and headed for the Forbidden City.All the things that should be done throughout the day were done in an orderly manner, and at dusk, I took the car and went straight out of Donghuamen.

The shallow snow underground has been made into flower mud, the pines are red and the walls are red, and the wind sends the evening bell.The car rolled over the wooden saddle bridge and drove into the second gate of Ruyuan.Qi She got out of the car, took a small jar of candied fruit with a yellow label from the servant, and took it into the courtyard by herself.As soon as he saw the maids chatting under the veranda, he put on a fierce face and reprimanded: "I can't serve the empress well, I'm all hiding here and being lazy."

You Yan, who is normally meek, spoke back uncharacteristically: "My lord, please don't wrong people. It's not because the slaves are lazy, it's because the empress is receiving guests, so she doesn't ask to come in to serve."

"Guest?" Qi She stood in front of the door, "Which lady hasn't left yet?"
