A Collection of Old Sayings by Fourth Sister You

Chapter 33 Forbidden Court (33)
After going around such a big circle, it turned out that it was really just to meet him. (1)
After returning to the bedroom, the queen of course couldn't stop, and she didn't go into details, she sat under the window and wept secretly.It was useless for Chunwo and Ah Rong to persuade her, so they had to stand aside and watch her with their hands folded.After crying for a long time, I was also tired of crying, so I went back to sleep on the couch, and when I woke up, it was already dark.

The midges had just been smoked in the hall, and the air smelled of burnt mugwort leaves.She stood up and looked, the sky was half-dark, and the palace had already begun to light the lamps.Outside the screen window, a row of courtiers came over holding lanterns, and the blurred spots of light rose slowly and stopped trembling slightly under the eaves.

She was a little hungry and called out to Aunt Jin loudly.Brother Fo came in with a candlestick, and asked her, "Is the saint better now?"

She nodded, "I'm hungry as soon as I get well, isn't Aunt Jin here?"

Brother Fo said: "Something happened, and I hurried out. The sage will wait a moment, and Chun's mother will make soup for you. I think it will be here soon. The sage went back to the palace and did not wash up. The servant girl waited for you to take a bath in the Pixiang pool, so that Chun Mom brings the soup, okay?"

She fought back repeatedly. The last time she fell into Fengchi, she became afraid of the water. The bigger pool made her flustered, and it was all thanks to that person.Today he was obviously very guilty, and his attitude was still so tough. She couldn't beat him, and finally returned home in a disastrous defeat.When I came back, I felt so useless and regretted that I didn't perform well at that time. In fact, she could have spoken more sharply...

Forget it, don't think about him.She got up to remove her hair in front of the mirror, ordered Brother Fo to prepare a bathtub, and after slowly scrubbing, she changed into a long dress with long teeth, and sat in front of the balcony of the side hall with soft shoes to watch the moon.

When Chunwo came back, she gave her a cup of soup. She opened her eyes and put it on the flower table with her lips pouted, "I want to eat fine powder Ketou."

She is a picky eater, and Chunwo has nothing to do with her, "Then I will ask someone to do it, how about adding shredded chicken to the rice noodles?"

"I want another plate of vinegared ginger and two pieces of mutton leek cake."

Chunwo turned around helplessly, signaled to the person standing outside the curtain to prepare as ordered, and sat down on the bed with his robes, looked at her face, and carefully asked: "Aren't you annoyed now?"

She leaned back on the bamboo couch, covered her forehead with one hand and sighed: "Today, bullying others makes me unhappy."

Unhappy Yan wants this and that!Chunwo said: "You scolded the officials in Funing Palace, I heard Ah Rong came back and said. How do you plan to end the trouble like this? I'm afraid the Queen Mother will find out and blame you again."

"Don't be afraid." She waved her hand and said, "The government doesn't want the queen mother to know more than I do, he will cover it up himself. Anyway, I plan to never have any contact with him. If he has integrity, he will send me to Yaohua Palace to be a daughter Taoist is fine."

Chunwo hurriedly spat at her, "Don't talk nonsense, is it easy for you to be a female Taoist priest! Once you enter the Yaohua Palace, your life will be over."

She didn't take it seriously, curled up and lay on her side, and asked Chunwo, "Did you hear any news from Funing Palace later?"

Chunwo said no, "The official's body is wounded, it's inappropriate for you to care about it at this time."

She said: "I can't help it, I saw those things in his study, how could I care about it! The last time the ghost-masked man broke into the bedroom and hurt me all over, my mother saw it. He was so ruthless. Gen Yue almost drowned me again, I remember all these grudges, and I will avenge them one day."

Chunwo was very considerate, with a hazy smile on his face, and said in a low voice: "A young man, it is inevitable to be impatient. He made trouble with you because he wanted to get close to you, but he didn't know what to do, so he did it." It's out of the ordinary, you have to be considerate of him."

She rolled her eyes, "Whoever wants to get close to him, I feel troubled when I think of him now."

"Only people who are alone in their hearts will be troubled, otherwise Fengguowuhen, what's there to worry about?" Chunwo said with a smile, "Our saint has grown up, and your father must be very happy to know about it."

She always gets involved in that, but Zonghua doesn't like to hear it, so she simply closes her eyes and listens to Chongmao's cry, accompanied by the breeze and bright moon, there is also a special mood.

After a while, I thought of Cui Zhuyu, "Mr. Cui hasn't heard much since he became a waiter. Does mother know how he is doing?"

Chunwo said: "Isn't there no news the best news? When you were married, Mr. Cui followed to Bianliang and served in Tianzhang Pavilion. He wanted you to take care of him nearby. Hello now, I think he also I'm at ease. Mr. Cui is not young, the saint should take care of good girls for him, and let him have a family, so don't delay him."

Zihua has always trusted Cui Zhuzhen, and listened to him in everything in Jian'an.Cui Zhuzhang is a prudent person, and has a good relationship with others. In the past, she was just guided by him in her boudoir. Now that she has become a queen, it would be bad for her to associate with foreign men.There is no student in this world who enters the enemy's country with a purpose, the truth is that the master will follow him to the death.Today, he is very thoughtful, and if he doesn't say anything, it doesn't mean he has no doubts, so he has to avoid suspicion.Mr. Cui also knew this truth, so he signaled her not to act rashly.Now that the weather is calm, Ansheng is the most important thing.Chunwo is not someone who can care about the world. In her opinion, as long as life is peaceful, it is fine to continue like this.

It was only after she dialed the Sutra that she remembered, "Mr. Cui is 26 this year, and he is at the age to marry his wife. It's a pity that I'm a married couple, and I don't have much contact with foreign wives, otherwise I can help him."

Chunwodao was not in a hurry, "There will be a chance soon. In August, there will be the Autumn Society, and the women will return to their natal homes. The queen mother will definitely arrange for the saint to go to the Rongguo Princess's house for the festival. When the time comes, the saint will naturally know better. people."

She nodded and said yes, then she was disconsolate for a while, "I don't know why, I can't be happy. It used to be very interesting to be a matchmaker, but now... I'm not interested at all."

She didn't understand, but others saw it for real.My own problems have not been properly resolved, so why worry about others!Chunwo patted her hand, "Are you worried about the official's family? If so, I will ask Shi Zhao to go to Funing Palace to inquire about the official's injury. Tomorrow, if you are soft, the matter will be over..."

"I give in?" She yelled strangely, "Why should I give in, and I did nothing wrong! You don't allow people to go, making him think that I care about him, so I won't lose face. You wash up and sleep peacefully, Never mind that much."

Chunwo reluctantly said yes, "But I won't sleep with you from today on."

She was puzzled when she heard this, straightened up and asked, "Why?"

"Because you are old enough to be married, you cannot sleep with a nanny for the rest of your life. It is the official who should sleep with you, and he is the one who will accompany you for the rest of your life." She said, her eyes flickering Tears came, "It's time for me to retire. From now on, I will live with Ah Rong, and you will sleep alone. In this way, if the official family comes, your little husband and wife will be in harmony, and the official family will also be happy .”

"I don't want to sleep with him!" She went to the ground barefoot, holding Chunwo back, "Mother, don't abandon me. I slept with you since I was a child, and now you ask me to be alone, I will be scared."

Chunwo smiled and said: "There is an official, he will succeed me, what are you afraid of? You are not a child anymore, you have to be sensible. Like the last time the ghost-masked man broke into the Yongjin Palace at night, he picked when I was not there. That official Maybe he wanted to stay overnight, but if you are smarter and expose him, or you are already glued to each other now."

She blushed, covered her ears and shook her head, "Stop talking, I don't want to mention him." Seeing Fo Ge and A Rong coming in with food boxes, she dragged the flowers and patted them, "Here, put them here. Do you have any preserved fruit? You all sit down, let’s watch the moon together.” After speaking, he let out a soft breath, “Oh…”

The three of them were startled, "What's wrong?"

She said, "My stomach hurts a bit." She pressed it hard and gasped, "It doesn't hurt anymore."

Chunwo knew it, she didn't become an adult until she entered the big axe, and her menarche was on the fourth day of the lunar month.Counting the days, this trip was a few days late, and it was about time, so he turned around and waved to Brother Fo, "Get the soft furnishings ready!" As soon as he finished speaking, Zi Hua sat on the ground.

Now she was in a panic, and she looked menacing, her face was so pale with pain that she couldn't even cry out.Everyone hurriedly worked together to carry her back to the hall, invited the imperial physician, and reported to the higher authorities, all in a hurry.It would be good if it really came, but the menstruation was not smooth, the blood image was sealed, and there was no shadow for a long time.The medical officer can only prescribe mediation medicine, and it is not easy to force him, so he has to wait.

She was drenched in cold sweat from the pain, and she didn't say a word, hugging the quilt and bowing like a shrimp.That's all, and it's accompanied by diarrhea and vomiting. The symptoms are really worrying.

After seeing it, I asked someone to burn a hand stove for her to warm, and said: "It's okay, it's just a cold. I used to be like this when I was young. Some people have a good foundation and have no restrictions. I can't do it. When I meet my letter date As if she had died once, the queen has followed her mother. Take care of it in the future, and it will be fine naturally, don't be afraid."

She sobbed in pain, and wanted to comfort the Queen Mother, "The concubine is fine, but it is the concubine's fault to let the empress rush over at night for those who work hard."

The queen mother stroked her temples and said: "You and the official family are the same to me. You are not taking a daughter-in-law. You have surpassed many daughters. Yesterday, the empress was angry and blamed you. Don't take it to heart. The official family said to me Yes, you sacrificed your life to save your husband, I learned that I admire you...Okay, don’t talk, rest at ease. Don’t worry about the official’s side, just ask the imperial concubine to serve you tomorrow.”

She nodded, "Thank you, Ma'am."

The queen mother tucked the quilt for her, stood for a while, and then left.

Zi Hua was in so much pain that she could only hear slight movements in the hall, which seemed like a dream but was very real.Then a person came in from the cloud and mist, wearing a public uniform lined with white gauze mid-sole, and gradually approached, only to see clearly that it was Yunguan.

She struggled, but couldn't get up, and couldn't speak.He said, "Don't move, I'm just here to see."

She was in a hurry, and her throat seemed to be blocked with cotton wool.He came over, sat by her bed, and put her hand in his palm.It was still her familiar smile, and she said softly: "Have you suffered a lot these years? I have not gone far, and I have been looking at you. As long as you are well, I will be comforted in my heart. No matter how many grievances I have, no matter how much Your hatred has nothing to do with you. Since you are married to Chongyuan, you should be his queen!"

She felt that he must have misunderstood, and wanted to explain to him, but he disappeared in a flash.

The hall became quiet, and the pain became erratic.The hand stove was cold, and she left it aside, she turned over with difficulty, looked around, and found that there was indeed someone sitting in front of the bed, it was Imakami.

She woke up for a moment, "Why are you here?"

"With such a commotion, Funing Palace also got news." His face was indifferent, probably because of the quarrel just now, and now we meet again, a little embarrassed.He asked awkwardly, "Are you feeling better?"

This is the fault of the female department, and it is always embarrassing to talk about it.She blushed embarrassingly, turned her back and said: "The official family should go back and rest, I don't care."

He fell silent. The medical officer said the cause of the disease earlier, and it was still related to the last time he fell into the water.Fengchi is deep, and it is in the mountains, so it is cooler than ordinary lakes.There was a cold stasis in her body, which made it so severe this time.He originally wanted to punish her, but now he regrets it.She probably blamed him too, but she couldn't speak out because of dignity.

He sat without moving, "you sleep, I am here with you."

She muffled: "No, you can go."

She was still mad, and he knew it.After the middle noon quarrel, he also reflected on it. The recording scene said that coaxing a woman should not be head-to-head, just like doing business in the market, one party must show a willingness to reconcile before things can turn around.He didn't get along with her for a long time, but he knew her somewhat through the letters he had communicated for so long.She doesn't seem like someone who is willing to bow down.Besides, those things he did... It was not very honorable, and he felt ashamed.The majesty of heaven in the court cannot be desecrated, and in the ban, although they are monarchs and ministers, they are also husband and wife.It seems that there is nothing to sweep your face behind someone's back.

Her attitude was cold and hard, and he was a little depressed. After a while, he said: "The Miao Nei people said that you would be afraid alone, so I will stay with you."

When she heard what he said, the corners of her mouth drooped inexplicably, and she said angrily, "I don't want you to accompany me, the officials will go to recuperate themselves."

He, too, was left out, silent, and only sighed.

Instead she shed tears and sobbed silently.Then his hand fell on her shoulder, and he said slowly: "I had a bad attitude before, but I was telling the truth. I admire you and do so much, all because of this reason. You must think I'm weird, just because A portrait and a few letters, just fall in love with one person, actually not. When I was 13 years old, I went to Jian'an with Hanlin, and you read Trent death as kicking to death at the banquet, and I was there at that time."

This was beyond her expectation, she turned around in surprise, tried her best to recall, and looked at his face carefully, "That banquet was hosted by my father, not the prince of Yue Kingdom."

"Your father doesn't know who I am. I pretended to be a disguise, and I have my own purpose." He paused, and smiled, "I taught you to sing the nursery rhyme on the wedding night, but unfortunately you seem to have forgotten it." , together with me, have forgotten.”

The more he talked about Yunhua, the more he found it incredible that it was so long ago, but he remembered it so clearly.

He was embarrassed, turned his face away and didn't dare to look at her, but his tone was firm, "I knew you ten years ago, even earlier than Yunguan. So I'm not crazy, and I'm not just out of curiosity. As for that mask... I It's just that I don't have the courage to face you, I'm a little... scared."

She was stunned, not knowing how to describe her mood at the moment.It seemed to be relaxed, but inexplicably heavy.His eyes were clouded with mist, making him look sad.What is this, 13 years of bitter love?How is it possible, she was only six years old at that time!But there is indeed such a person in my impression, a handsome young man, standing under the setting sun, smiling slightly at her.

She closed her eyes, "What time is it, are you dreaming?"

He said no, "It's almost midnight."

"Have you been sitting for two hours?" She was so sad that she couldn't describe it.She suddenly felt that everything disgusted her. This was different from what she had originally imagined. It was like a fabricated story.However, they are all true, and the memory is indeed blurred, but as long as someone mentions it, she can still tell the truth from the false.

She sighed slowly, "It's getting late, the officials should go to bed!"

His tense nerves finally relaxed, he hurriedly took off his shoes, and lay down beside her.

She turned her back again, "I was confused in the middle of the night, let's talk about it tomorrow."

He said yes, "Does your stomach still hurt? I'll let them change the charcoal for the hand stove."

She said no need, "It's so hot, my stomach is almost boiling with blisters." Feeling it carefully, she still felt a dull pain, so she flinched and curled up again.

He was closer, she could feel it, maybe only a few minutes away from her.She was a little nervous, and wanted to move a little inside, but his hand reached over and rested on her waist, then moved slowly, and actually got into her pajamas.

She clasped the tip of his hand and said in a low voice: "What are you doing? Don't think that I dare not beat you!"

He took a slight breath, she grabbed the wound, still endured it, and said in a harmonious voice: "I want to give you a hug."

"Huh? Are you going to touch my stomach?" She felt incredible, "I warn you, don't use your status to suppress me, but I..."

"In addition to having brains, they are also very dignified." He took her words and pushed her back hard, "A man's palm is warmer and better than a hand stove. You can try it."

She still didn't believe him, "How do I know if you can touch me!"

He became impatient, and said coldly: "I have injuries on my body, I can't beat you."

That being the case, let's try it for the time being, "Don't move around!"

He didn't speak, and pressed his hand a little bit hard.

Her stomach was cold, he didn't know it before, it turned out that a woman's body would be so cold.The round belly button was in his palm, she should be very comfortable, and she breathed a sigh of relief.But he regretted it a little, and he was tied up in a cocoon. How should he spend this long night in the future.

Recently, I always go to bed late, and the deeper the night, the more energetic I am.He has a lot of things on his mind, the court, the Qixi assassination case, and her.

Looking down, she was not stable before, and her brows were tightly frowned in her sleep.Afterwards, it probably got better, and gradually stretched out, snorting, like a little animal.
