The maid is the queen

Chapter 68
The delicate pink and bright yellow look so pleasing to the eye, but what am I waiting for?Why does my heart hurt? I know that all the women in the harem belong to him. I know that he will not only spoil me and only look at me for the rest of his life. But sour and empty.

When the strong wind blew, Concubine Mu tilted her head timidly, he hugged her lightly, buried her head in his arms to avoid the gust of wind, and laughed loudly.

The voice is very familiar, and he laughed like that when he was with me.

I always thought that only I could hear this pleasant voice, and I secretly treasured it in my heart.

Concubine Mu Gui in his arms turned her head and smiled brightly at me, but I was a little weak, with both hands tightly grasping the cold white jade railing.

The maid behind said softly: "Cai Ren, the wind is strong and the weather is strangely cold. Don't hold on to the jade railing. Do you want to go back and rest for a while?"

I looked at the imprint carved on the jade railing in confusion, and I was thinking, is it cold or I am cold, holding on tightly, trying to absorb warmth from it?
The trembling thing must be the cold wind blowing away the condensed clouds, I smiled lightly, I shouldn't have these feelings, Yun Zhiqiu, you are just one of thousands of women, he is nine Lord Wu, you are just a fish in his water, do you think you are the only one in the water?What do you feel bad about?
Some things, like the spring rain, have already moistened the ground and the petals after waking up. I don’t know when it will go. Is it the same with feelings?

The wind was so cold that I wrapped my clothes tightly, but I still felt that the wind would get into my clothes from all directions. When I went back, another palace maid smiled and held a wooden box: "My lord, this is the emperor's order." Someone brought it here."

I'm not interested, but I opened the lid of the box with a smile, and I saw the red hair in my eyes, which was as red as a flame.

I smiled indifferently, but I couldn't pretend to like it, so I let another court lady in, and brought out the jewels to reward the court lady, who thanked her overjoyed before going out.

Didn't you say that during the New Year, you have to give a reward?I simply took out all those precious things and gave them all.

Everyone was pleasantly surprised and couldn't keep the smile in their eyes, but I was sitting at the table in vain, looking at myself in the mirror, my eyes were so sad, even though I gave away all the things he gave, I was still unhappy, Still sad.

A pair of warm hands closed my eyes, and the familiar scent hit the tip of his nose, and he said with joy: "That's right, Yun Zhiqiu, you're enlightened, I thought you were a stone, and you didn't walk without kicking. "

Pulled me back and leaned into his arms: "The maids have all given rewards, what about mine?"

"The emperor has everything. What is mine is not what the emperor bestowed."

He gently rubbed my face with both hands, and then reached into my neck: "It's so warm, but you are so partial, I don't care, otherwise I will... at night..." His kiss fell on my neck with some punishment On, suck hard.

I turned my head to look at him, his eyes were full of dissatisfaction, but they were so pure.

I think, I really shouldn't think too much, I have to remember in the palace, he is in charge of my destiny, not me in charge of him, not to mention the child, no matter what, I have to take care of the child, no more His care, I am nothing and can do nothing.

Looking up at him, he slowly smiled: "I can give it to you the day after tomorrow."

"Okay, I'll wait." He leaned down and hugged me, rubbing my face: "Look, look, is this what the folks call a husband and wife look."

I'm confused, I don't know, but what you say, that's what it is.

On the day of the Chinese New Year, the palace maids came to wake me up very early. Today, all the women in the harem will be led by Concubine Mu to pay their respects to the Queen Mother.

He didn't spend the night in Zhenghua Palace last night, and he didn't have to go to court today.

When I saw him, he was with Concubine Mu. I was sandwiched among many women, so I could only look up at him, watching him protect Concubine Mu and walk by holding her hand. The closeness is really incredible.

Concubine Mu is dressed in a white fox fur jacket, and the light blue skirt is under her body, graceful like a plum blossom blooming shyly in the wind and snow, the light makeup reflects the Yingying autumn water, and the light dyed cherry lips look more and more delicate, a rare sight Seeing her dressed as a royal concubine, a golden peony on her high temples is full of nobility.

She walked side by side with him at the front, followed by Concubine Yang, Concubine Li, I was caught in the crowd, followed the crowd into the Empress Dowager's Palace, and bowed down with everyone.

Lin Shangyi gently took my hand, and asked me what's wrong with her big bright eyes?
I shook my head and smiled lightly, and told her that I had nothing. I couldn't hear what the queen mother said behind me. I only knew that when I walked out with everyone, I had some extra jewels in my hand. The queen mother ordered the maid to reward us. of.

The concubines were very interested, and followed the emperor and Concubine Mu to see the winter jasmine flowers, to write and post something, but I had no interest.

The master has the circle of the master, and the court ladies are relatively free today. The two court ladies who followed me watched a few court ladies go aside with some hopelessness, and I told them to play by themselves.

The court lady hesitated: "That's the man..."

"I'll go to the Begonia Courtyard to learn some embroidery from Shangyi, and I won't be back until noon. You guys go first. What you look forward to all year long is the Chinese New Year. Go and have fun."

The maid left happily, and I also breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, I don't like to be followed wherever I go, which makes me feel that I have to be careful in every word and deed.

Walking alone to the plum forest, it looks so deserted here today, I sat under the plum tree, looked up at the white snow and smelled the faint fragrance, let it take away the worries in my heart.

"I knew you would be here?" A determined and hearty smile squeezed into the peaceful Merlin, waving his hands in front of my eyes: "Return to the soul, return to the soul."

I turned my head to look at A Yan: "Did you bring egg pancakes today?"

"Yes." He patted his waist with a smile: "Did you forget that I am a treasure bag?"

He sat down on the snow, took out an egg pancake from his pocket and handed it to me.

Some are greasy, but it is the fragrance of the world. I bite and chew.He looked at me quietly, didn't ask me or speak.

After eating half of it, I smiled and said, "The food outside the palace is still delicious. I really want to eat it today. I told myself that I am still the old me, and I can still find the old me."

He smiled, grabbed a handful of snow and put it in my palm: "Wipe off the oil! It's like my kitten secretly drank and ate fish, it's greasy."

"That's great." I said softly.

"If you like, I can give you a cat. You don't know, it has a litter of several cats in its life. It doesn't want what it eats, but it always likes to steal it, and then wipes its face with its paws." He looked Look at me and laugh.

I wiped my face and smiled angrily: "A Yan, you are so unkind, you actually mocked me."

"Are you very unhappy?" He asked softly, "Why don't I give you a kitten to play with tomorrow, even at night. I can go out of the palace at night."

I sighed softly: "I can't afford it." He will definitely find out where the kitten came from.

I like talking to Ayan, just like I am the carefree Yun Zhiqiu outside the capital.

"It's not impossible. How about this? I'll take care of you. Just give me something valuable." His eyes lit up.

I shook my sleeves, and shook out the pearl hairpins inside, and stuffed a few light and colorless hairpins into his hands: "Just these two, you have to give me the kitten to make it as strong as a pig." .”

He pointed at me, then trembling, fell to the ground: "I vomited blood and died."

I couldn't help laughing loudly: "Ayan, slow down, I'll dig a hole for you." The dead man sat up and laughed: "People's words are the most poisonous to a woman's heart. Cats will come after you."

His smile, his eyes, are as clean as the blue sky at the moment.

I asked him softly: "I really want to leave the palace, but the palace walls are too high, I want to leave, but I can't help it, Ayan, if I were the emperor's woman, would you still talk to me like this?"

He smiled, but there was a hint of disappointment in his eyes: "Are you?"

I nodded: "Yes, I am not a court lady, Ayan."

"Yes." He smiled softly: "Of course I will talk to you. You like to eat egg pancakes, don't you? You don't like to be lively, and you are always thinking about something quietly by yourself. I just saw You were really taken aback, thinking where did the monster come from, fascinated by the plum blossoms, and came here with an amazing heart, but it turned out to be a miserable..."

"What?" I gritted my teeth and stared.

He stammered, "It's still a little beauty."

"Hehe, it's not too bad." I smiled and pulled him up: "Don't pretend to be dead, get up quickly, I just saw you coming, you can climb up the plum tree and fold the most beautiful old plum blossoms for me."

He lay down and cried mournfully, "I am dead, rest."

This person, really, really can teach people that all the worries in their hearts will disappear without a trace.

I feel so lucky that I have a friend like Ayan, who will give me the purest laughter and the purest truth within the walls of this lonely palace.

Talking to him can always make my heart find the original starting point, and it always makes me, who is in confusion, find some original simplicity.

But when we laughed and went to pick plum blossoms, we forgot to pick up the pearl hairpins that fell on the ground.I didn't take it to heart either, after all, I didn't take a good look at what the queen mother gave me, let alone let you pick it up, it became a sad thing.

Hugging plum blossoms, laughing and going back, Zhenghua Palace is quiet, tall and rich but lonely, walking on the promenade, I can only hear my own footsteps, following each step, plain skirt The pendulum is like a blooming flower, and it has also become beautiful.

Enjoying this quiet loneliness, the plum blossoms are still snowy and cold. I came in through the side door, and the side of the corridor is the main entrance. place to go.

I heard the impatient voices of the father-in-laws saying: "The emperor is with Concubine Mu Gui. If the third prince wants to see the emperor, he must go to the imperial concubine's palace to ask to see him."
