A Collection of Old Sayings by Fourth Sister You

Chapter 25 Forbidden Court (25)
She was perfunctory to him, but he took it seriously. (2)
But he turned a deaf ear to it. It was raining heavily outside, and a ray of light flashed by, attracting earth-shattering thunder, which made people's ears buzz.She was flustered, her temple hairpins were scattered during the robbing, and finally found that it was futile, so she cried and called Chunwo and Ah Rong.

The front hall heard her calling for help, and the sound of intricate footsteps came in a hurry.He felt angry, turned around and drank a drink, and the footsteps stopped, like cigarettes in the stove being blown, and immediately disappeared without a trace.

She has no hope, but can calm down.Knowing that he won't let go, he didn't resist, and said softly: "Don't be like this, Yunguan and I used to be childhood sweethearts, but now that no one else is here, why should the official hold on!"

He raised the corners of his lips indifferently: "You persuade me to look away, have you done it yourself? Sometimes I wonder if the reality of husband and wife can make you calm down." Sure enough, seeing her stare in surprise His eyes widened, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Why? Can't it work?"

Her face was pale before, but after hearing what he said, red clouds immediately climbed up her cheeks, and she turned her face away and muttered: "The concubine just recovered from her illness, and she still feels unwell today. Xing."

He slowly let go of the restraint, put his hands on her shoulders, and made his eyes level with hers, "So, when is the queen going to get married?"

His face was close in front of his eyes, it seemed playful and threatening.She was trembling even for breathing, thinking of the people who came with her, she didn't dare to be abrupt, for fear of hurting them.But what to do, if he really has such thoughts, what reason does she have to refuse?She pressed a hand on his chest, feeling his beating heart, and said in a trembling voice: "Officials never like to get close to others, is it okay now?"

He still remembered the disgusted look on her face at that frightening moment on the terrace of Huanshan Pavilion.Although the current words of evasion are blunt, they are much more mellow than those at that time.He smiled, "Maybe it won't work with others, but if you change the queen, you can try."

She just thought he was hateful, if she had a knife in her hand, she would scratch his face without hesitation.Just when he was about to speak, he took a step back spontaneously, and said quietly: "If it's really difficult, I won't force you. But if you want to live in peace, at least show some sincerity. The queen always verbally says to marry me, and she will like it." Me, but for a long time, I haven't seen that the Queen likes me at all..."

With an expression of killing herself, she stood on tiptoe and pecked his right cheek with lightning speed.He was stunned, and looked at her in surprise. She blushed, with tears of humiliation in her eyes, and said in a sad voice: "This can always prove that I like you? I don't dare to get too close to you every day." , afraid that you would peel me and hang me on the Gongchen Gate."

His mind was in a mess, he didn't intend to do this, and he wasn't ready for it, so she caught him off guard.The soft touch was fixed on the face, lingering.He raised his hand, and it took a lot of effort to restrain himself from touching it.The place where she kissed seemed to be scalded, burning hot.

She choked twice and sniffed, "Has the official calmed down? The official, the official..."

She called him repeatedly, and he felt mixed feelings in his heart, and he was secretly unhappy. Does it need to be so difficult to kiss him?What is her expression?It's just a kiss... A strange feeling of incomparable size enveloped him, he pulled his face and looked at her with probing eyes.She still looked aggrieved, slowly and slowly held Shen Yi, and raised it in front of him, "Chenqie and the official change clothes, okay?"

It was clear that the conversation was on the verge of daggers just now, but because of that sloppy kiss, all the grievances and grievances were resolved in an instant.She put on the big belt for him, squatted down beside the couch, and put on the cloud-toed shoes for him.There was nothing to do next, the two faced each other, and the atmosphere obviously became awkward.

What to say, there seems to be nothing to say.After a long silence, he heard him whisper: "The matter of Gen Yue, the past is the past."

She lowered her eyes and said hello, it's really not wise to worry about who is right and who is wrong now.A person like him would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go.Although I didn't really do it, but with this intention, I was inferior to others in the end, so I had to accept my fate.But it's weird, since he has insight, why doesn't he deal with her?Even the Empress Dowager didn't know about this matter, so such a warning with no evil consequences can already be counted as punishment?

"Officials..." She thought for a long time, but in fact it is useless to act coquettishly in front of him, he is too sensitive, and the level of delicate thoughts is probably beyond her imagination.Should I change the strategy, just like before, be more casual, don't be deliberate, maybe it will be more pleasing to him!She glanced at him and said with some difficulty, "I dare not deny what you said earlier. I am Unforgettable Yunguan. He is not only a friend to me, but also a family member who can depend on each other. When I was young, I often missed my mother. He was by my side. By my side. He said, "At least you still have your father. My father and mother are thousands of miles away. I can't see each other. I am more pitiful than you. If you are afraid, we can be your companions, and you won't be lonely in the future"... But then my father died, and he died, how could I not be sad! But sad is sad, I have never done anything to hurt the official family. Believe it or not, I have a clear conscience."

He tilted his head to listen carefully, the voice trickled into his heart like a trickle of water, "And then?"

She said sadly: "It is a lifetime thing for me to marry the official family. From now on, I will reflect on myself, live in harmony with the official family, and serve the official family wholeheartedly."

A mighty wind blows in from the window, blowing up their skirts and the sleeves of their gowns, and they are in mid-air in a trance.He nodded, "That's great, but now I'm not sure if the empress is sincere. Let's see. I've always been a person with clear grievances and grievances. If the empress treats me sincerely, I will never let the empress suffer any grievances."

She lowered her head and wrapped around the sash around her waist, "Then what does the official say, I don't know you, but you... have been fascinated for a long time, so what does it mean? The official has been to Jian'an, and seen me?"

He suddenly felt a little embarrassed, and he hesitated: "This matter... we will talk about it another day." The rain stopped outside, and he turned and walked outside, saying as he walked, "You have not recovered yet, you should take a good rest! I will return blessings The Ning Palace is gone...the empress stays behind, so there is no need to see her off."

She followed out in a daze, intending to send him to the bottom of the steps, but he walked faster and faster, and the escort and Huangmen had to scramble to catch up with him.

After leaving the Qingning Gate, he ordered the servants to disperse, and walked alone under the palace wall, his heart seemed to be stuffed with something, it was so full.Her question made him uneasy, but after he was uneasy, he remembered the little details before, and a kind of inexplicable joy overflowed from the corners of his eyes and brows, which he couldn't even suppress.

Why rejoice?The corners of his lips were raised involuntarily.He vaguely knows the reasons for this, and also understands the reason why gentlemen and gentlemen are fond of sex.He raised his hand and tucked his cheek, recalling that kiss, light and passing by like the wind.The aroma of her temples has been miraculously preserved, and it is still faintly discernible to this day.

He stretched his eyebrows and looked far away, the sky after the rain was fresh and bright.A group of egrets flew by, and suddenly it cleared up.

Yue people have great enthusiasm for Qixi Festival, the seventh day is the real day, and the sixth day has already been prepared.The painting building is decorated with colored silk, and the evening wind blows. Standing in front of the gate of the Yongjin Temple, the Forbidden Court is no longer monotonous and strict, but has become more lively and imaginative.

When Ah Rong entered the door, he pinched two budding lotus flowers in his hands, and stretched them one by one in front of her, and handed the flowers to her, "Look, saint, double-headed lotus."

She squatted in front of the window to irrigate the grain slabs. The millet seeds had already germinated and grew to an inch high. They were dense and fresh green. For fear of falling over, she wrapped them up with straw.She started to make the fence of the house, her hands were very busy, she took the time to look back, "Double-headed lotus? They are obviously butted together."

On the Qixi Festival, all kinds of novelty things emerge in endlessly, like double-headed lotus, whoever finds them can find a good marriage.But where to find the real double-headed lotus?So I did it by hand, cutting the flower branches and inlaying them, so as to comfort myself.

Ah Rong puffed up her cheeks, "I pray that the saint can find a good husband."

Yun Hua laughed and said, "Stop! My Ruyi Langjun is sitting in Zichen Palace, where else can I go to find him?"

Ah Rong stuck out her tongue, "In fact, I often have the illusion that you are not married yet, we just moved to another place, the same as before." Gradually speaking, the voice gradually became weaker, "The sage does not know, the noble concubine of Liang in the Yisheng Pavilion In the past two days, I have frequently been in and out of Funing Palace, and I seem to be very close to the official family."

She paused, sighed and said: "She can't help it, the officials don't care about people, she has been in the palace for more than two months, after all, she is here to marry, and she can't be given a title, so she will be dismissed."

"How about it? Do you have to give birth to a prince?"

She thought for a while and said: "It should be! After giving birth to a prince, he will inherit the family name in the future, and the two countries will become in-laws, and they will be able to share peace forever."

Ah Rong tilted his neck and said, "What about the saint? It would be better to give birth to the prince as soon as possible."

She blushed embarrassingly, "What happened? Don't talk nonsense!" quickly changed the subject and asked, "Is it lively outside the palace?"

Ah Rong smiled and said: "It's very lively. I heard that the market is full of cars and horses, and the streets are full of Luo Qi. The stalls in the Zhouqiao Night Market are so long..." She compared her hands, as if she could describe the meaning of the so-called length, "Sell all kinds of Qixi baubles, like floating on water, and General Fruit Food."

She was a little envious, but after entering the palace, even though the lively voices of people could be heard outside the wall, there was still silence inside the wall.She can sit in the hall and cut Fang Sheng, and soak the adzuki beans and wheat in the water to play "seed", but she can't leave the forbidden court for half a step.

At this time Xu Shanggong came in to reply, accepted the blessing to see her grain board, "The saint's millet seeds germinate well, unlike Concubine Chen Xianfei's, the heights are uneven." As he spoke, he helped her and handed over the booklet in his hand. , "The former ministers consulted and said that the palace people were very prosperous, so they asked the officials to dismiss them and let them go back to their hometowns to reunite with their parents. The officials agreed. This is the list of all the people who went to the palace in the palace. I sent it to ask the saints to cut them off. Spend."

She sat down on the bamboo couch, stretched her wide sleeves and held up the booklet to read carefully. The source was written next to the name of each palace person, including dozens of former imperial daughters of the Eastern Palace.

She closed the booklet and said: "There are 350 people in the Great Inner Palace. This book lists [-] people, except for the female officials in each pavilion. Please allow. How many people are still on duty in the Eastern Palace?"
