Who says maids don't fall for the city

Chapter 46 Don't hate this flower flying away, but hate the red in the West Garden (1)
The sweet-scented osmanthus trees in Qingxinjuli are in bloom, and the flowers are densely dotted with the big trees, exuding bursts of strong fragrance.After a gust of wind, milky white flowers fell one after another, and some even floated into the window by the wind, and fell on the clothes and temples, and the fragrance filled the whole space.

When the stars came in, what they saw was this scene.She was startled, and hurriedly took off her clothes to put them on my shoulders, and couldn't help scolding: "Young girl, why don't you care about your body? When the wind blows, I'm afraid I'm going to get sick again." After saying a few words, seeing my expression Pale, and couldn't bear to curse anymore.

Smiling flatteringly at her, he tightened his skirt, "The flowers bloom so beautifully!"

She followed my finger and looked at it, naturally admiring it.When I came back to my senses, I realized that I had bypassed the topic again, brought the medicine angrily, and watched me drink it with a sad face.

This medicine is extremely dark, but it tastes good.It's just that every time I pretend to be nasty to tease her, so that no matter what mistakes I make, Xingchen will punish me with medicine and stop nagging.

Handing back the medicine bowl to her, she continued to turn out of the window, refusing to let go of even the slightest bit of beautiful scenery.

I have always cherished everything since the eyes could see.

When he woke up that day, the carriage had already entered the territory of Daye.

Li Xiaoyi hugged me in his arms desperately, but after seeing me open my eyes, I was ecstatic.Meet Qinyue in Mocheng.It was only then that I found out that Ling Wu had put medicine on the arrow, and that medicine could make people die in suspended animation, and they would wake up after three days.He originally wanted to help me save Li Xiaoyi, but he didn't expect to save me by mistake.

Qinyue also brought the medicine made by Ling Wu and applied it on her eyes. After a few days, she could see things vaguely. Up to now, except that she couldn't see directly under strong light, and she couldn't see clearly when the light was slightly dark. Everything else is fine.

I followed Li Xiaoyi back to Shangshu Mansion, lived in Qingxinju, and was taken care of by Xingchen every day.And he, because the peace talks went wrong, was so busy every day that he couldn't keep his feet on the ground.

"Miss, the second lady is here." Xing Chen whispered in my ear.

Looking up, the second lady walked in with a clear and elegant demeanor, dressed in plain clothes.

I wanted to get up to greet her, but she walked quickly to my side and held me down. "You are not in good health, so don't care about those false etiquette."

After this injury, although he survived by chance, his body is indeed not as good as before.Even walking two steps will take a long time.Therefore, I am not too polite and ask her to sit down.Xing Chen hurriedly made tea.

The second lady looked at me lovingly, and chatted with me about family affairs.After talking about the fashionable clothes in Luoyang City, and the recent happy and worrying events of the adults, the conversation slowly turned to me.

"I thought you were weak, so why don't you wait for a while, and then talk about marriage when you've recovered." She paused, then smiled, "Ke Yier can't wait anymore, and has been urging me to prepare for the wedding." Turning to me, "What do you mean?"

I smiled: "Everything is up to Madam."

Only then did she feel relieved, and after exchanging a few words with me, she got up and left, the joy in her eyes could not be concealed.

She must have already known about Li Xiaoyi's feelings for me, so on the day Li Xiaoyi fell ill, she saw me without any doubts, and even handed over her unconscious son to me very naturally.

Raising his head, he saw Xing Chen staring blankly at Luo Ying Fun Fun, with tears in his eyes, but there was clearly joy in them.

Quietly turned away, looking at his pale fingers, since the injury healed, the skin has been so sickly pale.It doesn't matter how many supplements you take.Perhaps, in that wound, all the blood flowed out.

When Li Xiaoyi came back in the evening, he told me that Yang Ziyu had brought the peace talks.There was a faint tiredness between his brows, and Xingchen served water and tea in distress.

Sometimes I think, if I were like a star and only wanted Cheng Yu to be happy, and I was willing to stay by his and his future wife's side anonymously, maybe there would not be so many twists and turns.

"Qinger"

Awakened by him from contemplation, he raised his head and smiled brightly at him, only to realize that the stars had retreated at some point.

He came over and hugged me, buried his head in the crescent of my neck, and took a deep breath.He said sullenly: "I heard mother said that you agreed to the marriage."

I nodded: "Yes, don't you want to marry me?"

He immediately raised his head, looked at me nervously, and loudly denied: "Of course not!"

I laughed, and he knew he was being tricked by me.A smile appeared in his eyes, and he lightly kissed me on the cheek.I froze slightly—the scar on my face where he kissed.

Feeling warm in my heart, I understood that he wanted to use this way to tell me that he didn't care about my appearance.

"Now that Qingze's matter has come to an end, it's time to start planning for the wedding." He smiled happily, making people feel like a spring breeze.

"Will you really not regret marrying me?" I couldn't help but want to be sure, because such a piece of beautiful jade must belong to me completely.Although I know he has me in his heart, he is still worried.

He smiled even more: "I will not regret it in this life." These four words burned on my heart like a brand.

My heart twitched as my gaze shifted.

Dad and his family moved from Fenghuang to Luoyang, and found a place in the city to buy a house.Even my aunt's family followed.

I heard from my father that cousin Rong Jun is quite smart in business and has become his helper.

I am naturally relieved that everything seems to be on track now.

On the day of the wedding, the red silk stretched for ten miles along the long street.My father bought countless dowries for me, and wanted me to marry so that I would not be looked down upon because I was the daughter of a merchant.Covered with a red hijab, my father went out with my back on his back, got into the sedan chair, and the moment the curtain fell, a faint flash of loneliness flashed in my heart.

It's another year's Qixi Festival, and the streets are crowded with people.

Li Xiaoyi wore a red robe, and sat astride the tall horse, his eyes full of joy.

Recalling last year's Qixi Festival, I went to the brothel to find Cheng Yu.It was Li Xiaoyi who first spotted me and raised his eyes and smiled at me.And now, he is about to become my husband.

Everyone knows that the Minister of Rites got married today, and he is handsome, and he attracted countless screams along the way, which made me laugh.It took a whole night just to dress up before, and I was already exhausted.Leaning against the wall of the car, close your eyes and rest.

"Ma'am." Xing Chen called out, and sneaked in a piece of pastry through the curtain, "You fill your belly first."

She had changed her mind before paying her respects.

Warm in my heart, I took the pastry, lifted the corner of the hijab, pulled up the car curtain to reveal a small slit, and said to her with a smile, "Thank you."

She didn't expect me to be so bold, she jumped down, and stretched out her hand to tear down the curtain.But for a moment, I saw someone passing by on a horse in the distance.One of them was clearly Cheng Yu.

Long time no see, he lost a lot of weight, his face was pale, and he looked worse than me.

Just a daze, the curtain has fallen.

A bad premonition rose in my heart, but I didn't want to guess.But his anxious look has been lingering in his mind, lingering.

The sedan chair fell, and there were a few light knocks from the sedan chair frame, and it was known that it was kicking the sedan chair door.With a solemn face, he handed his hand to Xi Niang who came to help him.

After getting off the sedan chair, red silk was stuffed into his hands.Such a gentle breath can be felt no matter how far apart.Zhan Yan smiled, clenched the things in his hands, and walked into the wedding hall with Li Xiaoyi under the guidance of Xi Niang.

"Bow to heaven and earth!" the master of ceremonies shrieked.

Li Xiaoyi and I turned around and bowed to the sky.

"Two thanks to the high hall!"

There were cheers all around his ears, and the people who came to watch the ceremony included officials from the same dynasty as him, as well as his father's business partners.

"Sister Qing'er!" A cry interrupted the "husband and wife worship" that the master of ceremonies was about to blurt out.

Xitang instantly quieted down, and subconsciously turned around, the crying voice was clearly Ruyi.

She ran over and grabbed my hand in a panic: "Qing, Sister Qing'er, come back with me!" Her nasal voice was thick.

I patted her hand comfortingly, and said with a smile: "Today is my big day, why are you still crying when you come to watch the ceremony?"

She ignored it, and her voice became louder: "Shizi, Shizi is dying soon, go back and have a look!"

The body froze immediately.

After a while, he grinned and said, "What nonsense are you talking about, stop making trouble."

She squeezed my hand heavily: "I'm not talking nonsense! Sister Qing'er, the crown prince was beaten up by the emperor, I'm afraid he will die soon!"

I was startled suddenly, and subconsciously took a step forward.There was a pull behind him.

He paused and turned his head slightly.Li Xiaoyi's hand held my arm, the knuckles turned white, it can be seen how much strength he used.Through the material, I seem to feel that he is shaking.My arm hurts, but I can't say a word.

She lowered her head slightly and looked at the embroidered shoes on her feet.The toe is embellished with pearls for a rounded sheen.

Lifting his head slightly, his vision became blurred.

He opened his lips and smiled lightly: "Even if he is dead, what does it matter to me?"

Ruyi exclaimed in disbelief.

Li Xiaoyi stepped forward to stand in front of me, politely: "My lady, if you are willing to stay and watch the ceremony, Qing'er and I are very welcome."

There was silence.After a while, Ruyi sighed and said to me: "Sister Qing'er, I wish you happiness." After speaking, she turned and left.

Closing his eyes, tears trickled down from his sockets and into his temples.

Xi Niang stepped forward to help me turn around, and a "husband and wife worship" sounded, cutting off the silence just now.

Bowing deeply, bright red colors flooded the sky.

Sitting on the edge of the bed, countless peanuts and longan were sprinkled on the cushion.Red candles were burning on the stage, exuding festive and warm light.Xi Niang stepped back, leaving only Xing Chen and Ming Hui standing aside with their heads bowed.

There was a soft "squeak" at the door, and the two greeted "Young Master", there was a trace of melancholy in Xingchen's voice.

"Go and rest first." Li Xiaoyi was still as gentle as jade.

Xingchen and Minghui took orders to leave, and the room became quiet again.

Looking down at his feet, the black boots appeared in front of his eyes.

A scale handle gently lifted the corner of the hijab, and then pulled it hard, and his warm eyebrows came into view.

The candlelight in the room is faint, and the light is a bit dim, so I can't see very clearly.He stretched out his hand in confusion, and called out, "I can't see clearly, please sit down."

He smiled, turned to pick up two glasses of wine from the table, and sat beside me.

He took one of the cups and looked at him with a smile.Arm in hand, raise your head and drink up this cup of cross-cup wine.Spicy in the throat, choking and coughing.He hurriedly helped me out, and said with a funny mouth, "I never knew you were so incapable of drinking."

I immediately retorted: "Who said I can't drink?! I... I just wasn't careful!"

He had a doting look on his face, "Okay, okay, you're just not careful."

Seeing him submissive, I couldn't help but smile.Tilting his head slightly, the pearl pendant on his ear bumped against his cheek, and he froze immediately.

Li Xiaoyi thought I was angry, took my hand and shook it lightly: "What? Are you really angry?"

I turned my head and looked at him warmly, "Sir."

It was just two light words, but he was stunned as if struck by lightning.He stared at me blankly, with a little mist in his eyes.After a while, the mist turned into crystal clear.He curled the corners of his lips, and his eyes were mesmerizing like a spring breeze.

"Miss."

It's just two titles, but it seems to integrate us into one. Only then did we start to have a real feeling.

I married him.

Marry the man in front of me who has loved me for a long time, he will be a good husband and will also be a good father in the future.He treats me like pearls and treasures, and I know that he is sincere.

I knew it from the day he confessed to me.

The bottom of my heart was soft, and I swallowed all the words stuck in my throat.

If Cheng Yu dies...if he dies, what can I do?

Trying to suppress the bitterness in my heart, I smiled brightly.Li Xiaoyi's eyes froze, and he stroked my temples with his hands.The jasper hairpin he gave is now stuck in her hair.

"This hairpin is a token of love between father and mother," he said with a smile, but his voice was choked with vague sobs.

It turned out that he had already identified me at that time, and even gave such a valuable thing as a gift.Thinking of this, my heart softened a bit, and I nodded and said: "It turns out that you have plotted against me a long time ago."

He gave a "puchi" smile, stretched out his hand to wrap my head around my head, and kissed me on the forehead.Then the lips fall on the eyes, on the bridge of the nose, and finally move to the corners of the lips.

Li Xiaoyi's eyes gradually blurred, and he gently licked and kissed my lips.The hot and humid breath made people uncomfortable, and he couldn't help moaning.His pupils darkened instantly, and he pushed me onto the bed.One hand came up irregularly and pulled my belt, and the other hand removed all the jewelry from my hairpin and threw it aside.

The black hair was scattered, and it was tangled with the peanuts and longan on the bed, causing a pain in the back.In order to relieve the pain, he subconsciously put his hands around his waist and pulled himself up slightly.

He stopped, chuckled, picked me up and tore off the bed sheet under him, the longan was scattered like beads, hitting the ground with a burst of sound.In the next second, his body was in close contact with the big bed again.His lips have already moved to the collarbone, licking the kiss gently.

The place he touched all over his body felt unbearably itchy as if tens of thousands of ants had crawled over it, and he struggled unconsciously.The private part of the lower body was blocked by something, and it was painfully hot.

"I...I feel uncomfortable." There was a crying sound.

He said softly: "Be patient, it will be fine in a while."

The placket was scattered, and fine beads of sweat overflowed from the forehead.

In a daze, he seemed to hear the flute sound from outside the window, and seemed extremely lonely in the middle of the night.The tune is very familiar, it seems to be the song "Qing Ping Le" that Cheng Yu and I learned from the master of the music class in Fuli when we were young.A faint sadness lingered in his ears, even more frowning than the physical pain.I couldn't help closing my eyes, the corners of my eyes were slightly hot, and there was liquid slipping down.

"Cheng Yu!" suddenly shouted like crazy.

After this sound, the whole world seemed to quiet down.

Beads of sweat from Li Xiaoyi's body dripped onto my collarbone, like drops of tears.

I started crying loudly, saying "sorry" and pulling the thin blanket over myself.

He didn't move, just looked at me quietly, his eyes were as deep as the sea.

After an unknown amount of time, he leaned over and kissed me on the forehead again, turned over and put on his clothes, blew out the red candle for me, and then left.His back is lonely and alienated in the moonlight, with unspeakable sadness.

The room was pitch black, and even the previous bright moon hid itself, not showing any light.

In the next month, there will be continuous autumn rain in Luoyang.A gloomy atmosphere enveloped the whole city, and everyone was lazy.

Leaning on the beauty couch, holding a book in one hand and gently supporting her chin with the other.

On the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, Prince Yi and Concubine Yi celebrated her birthday, and Emperor Jian'an came in person.Princess Nanle served tea to the emperor, but was bestowed on the second prince Cheng Huan by the emperor.Cheng Huan drank the green tea, within half an hour, his seven orifices were bleeding, the imperial physician failed to treat him, and his soul returned to the west.

Emperor Jian'an was furious and ordered Princess Nanle to be imprisoned.Cheng Yu, the son of Prince Yi, pleaded with Emperor Jian'an for his fiancée, Princess Nanle.Longyan was furious and beat Cheng Yu's staff two hundred times.

These are the news that Xingchen inquired for me.

He knew in his heart that this must have been revealed by Li Xiaoyi.Otherwise, with her loyalty to Li Xiaoyi, why would she turn to me.

From the night of the bridal chamber, Li Xiaoyi has been sleeping in the guest room.All the servants say that the Second Young Mistress is not favored by her husband, so she naturally neglected me a lot.On the contrary, Xingchen treated me as well as before except for complaining about me.

"Ma'am, the second master is back." A little girl's head appeared outside the door and said casually towards me.

He got up with a smile, straightened his clothes, and went out to meet him.

Li Xiaoyi was dressed in court attire, with delicate features, really indescribably good-looking.

"Ayi" I whispered, and he turned around and smiled at me.

This is probably the most puzzling thing about the servants in the mansion - he never stays in my room, but he is always obedient to me and kind to me.

I felt sour, I knew he was waiting for the day when I would forget Cheng Yu, he didn't want to force me, so he could only use this kind of release to wait.

After entering the bedroom, he took off his court clothes and changed into casual clothes for him.The silver-gray robe made him look more and more jade-like, making people unable to take their eyes off him.

"You've been bored in the mansion for so long, why don't you go out for a walk sometime to relax."

Bianzui: "I think so too, but there's no good place to go."

He was about to reply when Xingchen came in and reported: "Master, madam, Miss Shuangshuang is here." When she mentioned Shuangshuang, she had a look of admiration, without the slightest contempt that ordinary women have for brothel people.

Through this period of time, I also know that Li Xiaoyi and Shuangshuang have a deep friendship, and they are likely to become confidants.I already liked Shuangshuang, so naturally I would not object to their association.At this moment, she naturally smiled and said: "Please invite her to the living room, Second Master and I will come right away."

The stars stepped back.

Fetching water let Ah Yi wash away his fatigue, and the two headed to the living room holding hands.Shuangshuang leaned over, thoughtful, and didn't even know we had arrived.

"What are you thinking about?" He jumped to her side and shouted loudly, both of them were frightened.He kept patting his chest and glaring at me.

"Sooner or later, I'll be scared to death by you!" She said angrily, "Why doesn't she change at all after getting married? She's always so reckless!"

I apologized with a busy smile, pulled her to sit down again, and ordered Xingchen to serve some refreshments and tea.

"Why do you have time to see us today?" Ah Yi sat down beside me, and stretched out his hand to pin the broken hair on the sideburns behind my ears.

Shuangshuang looked at me enviously, and joked, "Why, do you think I'm an eyesore?"

Ah Yi smiled but said nothing.

Shuangshuang didn't care, just pulled me to keep looking at it.For a while it was said that I lost weight, and for a while it was said that I had become beautiful. After talking for a long time, I didn't hear the point.

On the contrary, Ah Yi sensed what she meant, so he got up and went to the study room as he reasoned that he had official documents to read, and the maids and servants also retreated tactfully, leaving the two of us alone.

Then I smiled and said, "If there is anything you can talk about now."

She smiled, but the smile was not the same as before, but with a touch of melancholy and helplessness.

"What's wrong?" Sensing that something was wrong, he had to take the initiative to ask.

Shuangshuang smiled wryly, and took my hand on the table: "Qing'er, the third prince wants to see you."

The last time I saw a trend was when Ah Yi fell ill.Unexpectedly, so long has passed in the blink of an eye, and walking on the streets of Luoyang again seems like a lifetime away.

I know the scruples of both.After all, I thought it was bad for a woman to meet a man alone.

but…

I remembered that he had helped me in Phoenix City, and that when I ran wildly on the street in the middle of the night that day, he was the one who grabbed me and brought me to Ah Yi.

I can't say that I am grateful to him in my heart.

Walking through the familiar streets, I came to the place where Chengfeng and I met for the first time, and I saw the fortune teller again.

With a slight smile, he walked up to him: "Sir."

He didn't even look at me, "How is Madam?"

I chuckled: "Qing'er is fine, but the hexagram that Mr. made for Qing'er has not come true."

"Oh", he only became interested to look at my face at this time, "it's not the end yet, how does Madam know."

"Qing'er is already married as a woman, so how can she be a mother again?" I sneered.

But he was still calm, "Madam will understand in the future." The so-called expert is always like this, saying some specious things to deceive people.

Minghui stood far away, and suddenly called out: "Miss, the young master is here."

Turning around, I saw Chengfeng wearing purple clothes and Yushu standing behind me facing the wind.

The gentleman suddenly laughed and said: "I said earlier, you must have a karma."

"Ah" I was stunned.

What's rare is that Cheng Feng didn't make a sound to refute.

Looking at him suspiciously, his face was already blushing.It's just that there are emotions similar to bitterness mixed in it, which makes people unable to understand.
