A Collection of Old Sayings by Fourth Sister You

Chapter 29 Forbidden Court (29)
Which of the forbidden ladies is not a beauty, so why do you lose your soul for her? (3)
Although there are lights on the back mountain, they are not as brilliant as the front.It was a little dark around, and it was only a dozen steps before I saw a lantern. This kind of environment is most suitable for the growth of love.He has been working hard and never gave up. For his inexplicable obsession, he has done many things that he could not imagine before.Now worrying about gains and losses, I feel worried when I can't help it.She still hasn't let go of her hatred for him, now Qiao Xiaoyan just changed her strategy, he did it too obviously, fearing that it will make her more confident.

He still let her go, and his feet were dark, afraid that she would fall, so he still held her.She squeezed her hand back tightly, and he could feel it, even that was enough.Step by step, I have been waiting for so long, I don't care about waiting another year or a half.

The further you go to the foot of the mountain, the flatter the terrain becomes.Lujing was waiting at the intersection in a flat-headed car. The car was not Ouchi's style, and the hollowed-out wooden enclosure was probably used by wealthy households for summer outings.

She was very happy and sat in happily.Hit the bead curtain and beckon, "Officials and concubines ride together."

He boarded the car, the interior of the car was not too spacious, the two sat on their knees, and they were very close to each other even with slight bumps.It was too embarrassing to be silent all this time, she was the one who spoke first, "Has the official family visited the night market before?"

He shook his head, "There are very few chances. There are many dogmas in the ban, and the late emperor was very strict. I spent most of my time in Wende Hall and Xisan Pavilion. I only read it out once on the Ghost Festival. After that, I went to Wafang to watch jump rope and sumo wrestling. Banzhong funded and set up a meeting to burn money to pay homage to the soldiers who died in the army, and there were also accompanying dramas.

She clapped her palms and sighed: "Bianliang has many habits like Jian'an's. Jian'an's Ghost Festival is also very lively. There are jugglers performing poles, and there is an actor who pretends to be a ghost, nicknamed the whole body eye."

He was silent for a while before he said, "Do you like Jian'an very much?"

She said yes, "That's my hometown, of course I like it very much. It's a pity that I won't have the chance to go back in the future... But it's okay, Bianliang is also a good place, not inferior to Jian'an."

He turned his head to look at the scenery outside the car, and said softly: "It's not necessarily impossible to go back, there will always be a chance."

She didn't pay attention to his words, the ox cart gradually arrived at the Wafang, and the beautiful buildings were full of buildings along the way, which was very lively.Grocery stalls are scattered everywhere, and music booths are set up every few feet, and the lingering singing of courtesans can be heard.

She hastily pulled the recording scene aside, pulled him out of the car, and walked around one stall after another.Women on Qixi Festival have a lot of things to use. Yumei Nao'e put the hairpin on her hair and turned it left and right for him to see.In fact, I dare not buy food at will. Seeing people holding quail bones, I am so greedy.

He had no choice but to pay the money and ask for two skewers.The accompanying recorder hid it under his sleeve and tried it with a silver needle, and handed it to her only after he was sure it was reliable.She smiled and gave him the lotus leaf she bought. In fact, this is something only children can do, in order to imitate Mohele.He held it in his hand, and he was the only adult holding a new lotus in the street, looking really silly.

She just pursed her lips and smiled, her eyes were curved like the moon in the sky.After eating in the street, she clamored to go to the bank of the Jinglong River, where someone floated the water, and she wanted to join in the fun.

On the side of the road, someone sells lotus mandarin ducks made of gold foil paper. After making a wish, put it on the water. The farther you float, the easier it is for your wish to come true.She shook him, "Lang Jun buys and slaves."

He was shaken to the bone by her. The Forbidden Court is a place without much human touch. In the prosperous Vanity Fair, even the name always reveals his identity.The official family, the queen... Except for the night at the Huanshan Pavilion, he never called her by her name again.Coming out today has yielded a lot of rewards. She called him Mr. Lang, and he called her his wife. It was very homely and kind.

He gestured back to Lu Jing, and Lu Jing held out a bag of money, which the queen could spend freely.

She also inquired about the price, picked out a small boat with a red gauze and green cage and turned it over to look at it. It was inlaid with gold beads and emerald greens, which seemed to be quite expensive.Ask the peddler, "What's the market price?"

The peddler pointed out, "One pair costs a thousand cash."

She turned her head and stuck out her tongue, "It's really expensive!"

She looked pretty, and he just looked at her dotingly, "Let the recording go back to the car to pick it up."

She put the boat back, shook her head and said, "Forget it, it's too heavy, but it won't float far."

The peddler smiled and said, "Young lady, don't think it's expensive, the more expensive the more sincere you are. The shopkeeper at Xiaotianshuifang bought more than [-] pairs of small bottoms, and they all drifted downstream."

Still shaking her head, she picked out six lanterns and hurried to the riverside.There are many young girls around, all clasped their hands together and muttering.She picked an open space and clasped her ten fingers together.He stood behind her and asked, "Pray for what?"

She smiled and sent out one after another, whispering softly: "One wish is long live my husband, two wishes are always healthy, three wishes are long-lasting, four wishes are to see each other every year, five wishes will never be separated, and six wishes will be accepted." As a result, the slave has to buy a big house."

The short wax heads were lit in the lantern, and they floated out in the wind, flickering on the water surface, burning like they were about to go out.He heard her mosquito-like voice, which was very real.It would be great if all the sighs in my heart were her sincere words, although the last wish was a bit strange.

He helped her to stand up, "You want to buy a big house? You already have the largest house in Yue Kingdom."

She just smiled and refused to speak.The more he was like this, the more curious he became, and he pressed her repeatedly, but she turned around and complained, "You are too long-winded."

He choked up, remembering that he had said that she was long-winded in the Huanshan Pavilion, and she would retaliate to him whenever she had the opportunity.Lu Jing looked at him timidly from the side, afraid that he would be annoyed, no one in the forbidden area had ever dared to talk to him like this, but the empress dared, the empress was daring.He sighed, "I was just asking."

She turned around, full of autumn water, looking forward to her beauty, "This is my childhood wish. There is a big house, and there is only me and my husband in it. Later, I got married and knew that it would never be possible, but when I put the lights on, it was still a dream. I'll say, get used to it."

With a look of disapproval, she turned around and walked forward briskly.He frowned slightly, tasted the helplessness and submission in her words, and felt very sorry for her.

She waved from a distance, "Mr., there is a gong here, come and see."

The so-called gong holding is a miscellaneous pantomime. There are dozens of dancers. They wear ghost faces, long hair, green plastered golden flower jackets, a big copper gong, and smoke and fire from their mouths.There are many kinds of role-playing, including ghosts and judge Zhong Kui.He didn't like getting into crowds, but he was afraid of being separated from her, so he had to squeeze in.

The dancers twisted and turned to the tune of "Worshiping the New Moon Slowly", which was really lively.This kind of drama mainly focuses on fighting and stabbing. In it, there is a man wearing a golden flower cap and holding a white flag. He uses a real knife to cut his heart, commonly known as the Seven Holy Sword.She watched the fight very happily, he tried his best to protect her in front of his chest in case others would squeeze her.

She looked back at him from time to time, there was faint sweat on his forehead, he was actually very uncomfortable!She just remembered his awkward problem, and hurriedly said: "Don't watch it, let's drink tea."

Just as he turned to leave, he suddenly pushed her away, and the crowd became restless.She didn't know what was going on at that time, and fell to the ground in a daze.Only when he turned his head did he realize that the Seven Holy Knives led the crowd towards him, their eyes were full of swords and swords, and someone was plotting to assassinate him.

There were a large number of dancers, and he and the recording scene fell into a melee.The opponent was so powerful that he couldn't deal with it even if he had three heads and six arms. At first, he killed everyone, but gradually showed signs of decline.The Seven Holy Swords tried to kill him, and in the chaos he was cut on his right arm. When she saw the blood soaking his wide sleeve, she lost her mind, so she picked up an oiled paper umbrella and held it up. Dare to rush in to rescue him with an umbrella.

The shining knife swung straight at his face, and she screamed, "Ah, sir!"

Before she could think about it, as if instinctively, she closed her eyes and stood in front of him.She thought she was going to die now, but the tip of the knife stopped three inches away from her, and she could even see the look of panic in the assassin's eyes.Those eyes seemed familiar, she stared blankly, before he could think about it, he stepped back.

The classes were long overdue, in fact the time between them was not long, but it seemed like decades had passed.The assassin didn't pursue anymore, and turned to deal with the imperial army.She was so frightened that she was sweating profusely, thinking of coming up today, she hurriedly went to check on his injuries, her sleeves were stained with blood, she might have hurt her tendons.

She was terrified and held him tremblingly. He had always been insensitive to pain, but he was just a little dizzy.

Those assassins were at their wits' end, some of the imperial guards withdrew and escorted them back to Da Nei first.He held her hand tightly all the way, and she could only hold back her tears until her heart became numb.

Wasn't he most willing to see him being attacked?But he was lying in front of her, and she found that everything was not as she imagined.She was terrified and didn't know why.She had never seen so much blood, and felt that life was flowing away from his fingertips bit by bit, and she was afraid that he was going to die.

Back in the ban, there was indeed an uproar.After hearing the news, the Queen Mother rushed over and boarded the pedals to check the injury. The Hanlin medical officer had already bandaged the wound for him, but he couldn't see why.She touched his face and tried to keep her voice steady, "Proud, did you hear your mother call you?"

He is already awake, but very weak, he nodded, please rest assured the Queen Mother.

"Martial law in the inner city, no one should leak the news." She turned around and ordered, her gaze passed by the queen, fixed on her face, and she said angrily, "Come on, something really happened. The queen didn't know how to persuade the officials, but actually ordered them Going in and out of the marketplace, is this your future virtue?"

The Empress Dowager's eyes were like blades, full of hatred for her.Yun Hua knelt down and kowtowed, "Is it the concubine's fault, the concubine can't regret it now."

The queen mother flicked her sleeves and did not answer him, she just asked the medical officer, "How is your majesty's injury? I think the injury is not serious, I'm afraid it will be the root cause of the disease?"

The chief medical officer saluted and said: "Your Majesty's temporary drowsiness is caused by excessive blood loss. The wound is long but shallow and did not hurt the tendons. It is a great fortune among misfortunes. I have already prescribed a prescription. As long as you take care of it carefully, you will be able to recover soon." It will recover, please rest assured, Queen Mother."

Only then did she let out a sigh of relief, raised her hand to let everyone back out, walked up to Yunhua and said: "There is nothing serious about the official family, it is the Queen's fortune. It's just that this kind of thing, I don't want it to happen again. The official family You have always been stable, and you have never done anything deviant. The market is so chaotic, how can people of your status come in and out at will! You are a queen, so I can't criticize you harshly, but today's lesson is in front of you, and you must be punished! The Yongjin Palace gave me a quiet time to think about it, so I had to tell you not to come out."

It was only then that she calmed down. He was still alive and slightly injured, and his condition was not too bad.The Empress Dowager was so angry that it was not a big deal to punish her, she knelt down and accepted the order, got up and glanced at the apse, but there was no trace of him under the veil.She was a little disappointed and couldn't stay any longer, so she owed her life and withdrew.

Chunwo helped her back to Qingning Palace, and asked her if she was hurt, only then did she notice a dull pain in her elbow.Open the big sleeve and look, it turns out that the skin is scratched, it's no big deal.

"Who could do it?" Chunwo said in a low voice, "Aunt Jin once urged you to go to the outer city, could it be someone sent by the Sui Kingdom?"

She shook her head slowly, "She won't be that stupid. I'm afraid the officials know better than me how many people in Bianliang are spying in the dark." Previously, she was too tense, and when she relaxed, she lost strength and leaned against the spring. Wo murmured, "I'm exhausted... I feel terrible when I think about the situation just now."

Chunwo comforted her all the way, "It's all over, it doesn't matter to the officials, you will be fined for two days, and the Queen Mother will eventually pardon you."

She was not afraid of being punished, a big stone fell to the ground in her heart, but she felt puzzled, "I didn't want him to die then..."

Chunwo looked at her sympathetically, "I know. I think you should think about it carefully. The feelings for Yun Guan and the officials are actually different."

As if being pricked by a needle, she retorted: "What kind of feelings do I have for him, mother, don't talk nonsense!"

Chunwo twitched the corner of her mouth, "If you don't have it, then you don't. I'll see how long you can fool yourself."
