Chapter 5

Ari found out about Sima Yu's encounter with Zuo Jiasi on the night Sima Yu came back.

Sima Yu didn't know what to say, so he ordered Zuo Jiasi to be brought to Ari.

Ah Li was in a daze after hearing what the servant said.Although the words from that person were nothing more than, "Your Highness said, Your Majesty will arrange a seat for her."

She complied ignorantly, and the man quickly excused himself to leave.

Zuo Jiasi was happy at first, but when he saw Ahri's expression was wrong, he gradually fell silent, looked at Ahri with clear and stubborn eyes, and asked, "Ah, sister is not happy?"

Ari didn't understand, should she be happy at this time?
Zuo Jiasi bit her lip, and mist immediately appeared in her eyes.But no longer speak.

Ari still arranges Zuo Jiasi in the palace where she used to live.

Zuo Jiasi sent a sprig of apricot blossoms every day, but the apricot blossoms withered, and finally they stopped seeing each other.

Sima Yu missed the Shangsi Festival on his trip to Jingkou.The gathering of famous people and the flowing of water are originally a great event, and it would be a pity to miss it.The children who knew him well in the city made up the Liuzhou banquet in Dongshan to welcome him.

It is late spring and the weather is humid and warm.When it was time for a nap, Donggong hardly heard anyone.

Sima Yu was not there, Ari was very bored by himself, so he went to the back garden to relax.Passing by Zuo Jiasi's yard, I heard a "click" sound coming from the wing room.After hesitating for a moment, he went in to check.

—— Zuo Jiasi is eating crabs.Seeing Ari come in, he lost his mind for a moment, so he cut his mouth with a crab shell.

Ari was stunned for a moment, seeing that she was about to cry, she went up to wipe her.He picked up the scissors silently and helped peel the crab.

The river crabs are only available in March, which is the thinnest time.It was another wild mud crab in the pond, which was not fat in the first place.There is not much meat in the huge shell, and after a long time Ari fiddled with it, he only managed to pick out one plate.

He pushed it to her and asked, "How do you eat this kind of thing?"

Zuo Jiasi lowered her head, "...I'm hungry."

"If you're hungry, I'll have someone cook it for you."

Zuo Jiasi still lowered her head, "...I don't want to order them."

——The maidservants are respectful on the face, but they don't think much of her in their hearts.First of all, she came from a humble background, and this is the most difficult era.Secondly... It's also a sour grapes mentality. If you can't compare it with beauty, then you can compare it with Germany. It's just that Zuo Jiasi was favored by Ari, but took the opportunity to climb up to the prince, so he should be despised.

Zuo Jiasi grew up beside her brother and sister-in-law, so she is especially sensitive to other people's eyes.Naturally you can tell.He didn't want to make any extra trouble, and would rather go to the pond to catch crabs by himself.

Ari didn't have much to say to her, sat for a while, then got up to leave.

Zuo Jiasi grabbed Ahri's sleeve, "Sister...does sister think the same? I met the prince, and sister doesn't like me anymore." She looked at Ari with tears in her eyes , but tried to hold back and refused to cry, "But I came in to serve the prince. Why didn't my sister blame me at that time?"

Ali didn't know how to answer.Then fell silent.

Seeing that she was silent, Zuo Jiasi finally let go of her hand, "I understand."

In the East Palace, Zuo Jiasi was the only favorite.

Sima Yu came to see Ari less and less often, but gradually began to send things to her room.

Ari didn't know what it was like to see those pearls and corals.Sometimes she also felt that she was too unlucky, Sima Yu was good to her in everything, but he didn't love her.She didn't even have a reason to be angry.Sometimes I think that it might be a blessing that the relationship between them is ambiguous.After this, she can still recognize her own position, and she won't have any greedy desires.

Ari was originally emotionally insensitive, and soon retracted into his tortoise shell after this encounter.

So Ah Q generally comforted himself: Even if it is a free love, there are still many separations and reunions.Even if it is a vow of eternal love, there is still a love for another.Even in the modern age of monogamy, there are still people who secretly have mistresses—human emotions are fickle, and love is an unreliable thing in the first place.If he doesn't like you, he just doesn't like you, you can't force it.He doesn't even like you anymore, you still have to forbid him to love others, it's not so overbearing.

She is crazy to come to ancient times to find true love.It's because she is too crazy that she longs for a prince to be with her forever in the era of three wives and four concubines.

...But what she couldn't lie to herself was that Sima Yu would indeed fall in love with someone.It is true that she will not love anyone except that one person.

She met a peerless good man.It's a pity that this man doesn't like her in his heart.

After Zuo Jia thought Feng Liangdi, it was inevitable that he would meet Ari again.

Her complexion was tense, even her eyes were avoiding Ari.

But Ari could tell that she was not doing well.

She is lonely, unloving, and sensitive by nature.The popularity is so bad that it cannot be added.Except for the prince, almost no one likes her.Of course, she doesn't like anyone except the prince.

The queen especially could not understand her - Ari was her carefully selected daughter-in-law, and the prince and the prince seemed to be on the same page, but a lonely orphan girl came out of nowhere and dominated the prince.Seeing that her wish to have a grandson was about to come to naught, she naturally showed no pretense to Zuo Jiasi.

Although the Queen Mother is kind.However, after all, she is the daughter-in-law of the grandchildren, and she is not so affectionate.

Ari... Both of them avoided each other intentionally or unintentionally.

But Zuo Jiasi didn't take it seriously, as if as long as she could stay with the prince, her wish would be fulfilled.

However, the prince could not guard her every day.

In August of this year, a major event occurred in the court.

——In the Northern Qin Dynasty, there was an upright bastard surnamed Fu who ruled 100 million Han people with less than 1600 million Di people, but mobilized more than 100 million troops to attack the Han people's stronghold in person.

Anyone who has studied history knows this passage, and Ahri is no exception—after traveling through 16 years, she finally knows that this f*cking fictional era actually has a historical prototype.But obviously, because of her capable predecessors, this dynasty has become far removed from its "historical prototype".

The prince went to Jingkou to sit in town again.

Before leaving, he finally entered Ahri's room again.

He didn't say anything, just looked at Ari for a moment.

Although the national crisis is present and the relationship between children and children is sidelined, Ari knows that this battle is safe and secure, and all kinds of autumn winds sweep away the fallen leaves.So Sima Yu wasn't in such a heavy mood.

Sima Yu looked at her for a while, as if there was nothing to say, "The last time I said I would take you out to play, but I haven't fulfilled it yet."

There was a buzzing in Ari's head.

It took Ah Q half a year to build up her defenses, but it was so easily overthrown.

You obviously don't like her, why are you saying these words?
"Take care of yourself," Sima Yu said.

Ari nodded, holding back tears.

Sima Yu got up to leave, but Ari grabbed him, "You have nothing else to say to me?"

Sima Yu was stunned for a moment: "Uh...Actually, it's not that dangerous this time, don't worry—by the way, spend more time with Auntie and Auntie, and forgive me."

Ali nodded.

Sima Yu looked into her eyes, feeling inexplicably flustered, and after thinking for a long time, he said indiscriminately, "Uh, there's Jia Si..."

Ali was very disappointed.

She has probably never been so stupid in her life, and she thinks that maybe she is worried because she can't get it.Human nature is cheap.

Standing on tiptoe, she slammed Sima Yu's head off and bit his lip.

——It’s too silly, Ari thought.She felt that now she could wave her hand gracefully and say to Sima Yu, "I 'used' to like you".She just wanted to turn around in a chic way.I've kissed everyone before, who cares!

=__=... Ari thinks that this is a normal fantasy of love for a 16-year-old girl who has both a puppy love and a crush.

Sima Yu was completely dumbfounded.

He had been reacting for a long time but hadn't realized that Ari was his wife.She was neither Wei Lang nor Xie Lian.It's not just any cronies.She is Agou's Amao.

Ari was already crying, she patted him on the shoulder, "You...you take care all the way."

He pushed him out the door.

Sima Yu left for Jingkou.

Ari didn't let her children's love get in her way.In this era, women can't go to the front line, but it doesn't mean they have nothing to do.

The queen is busy summoning the ladies, and those who have husbands and sons at the front will of course be treated more favorably.No, let her see how calm and calm you are, so as to help them calm down and prevent the courtiers from panicking in the inner house.However, when they really summoned them, they discovered that these noble ladies... really don't need others to set an example.

They don't just watch beautiful men, catch rapes with knives, shabby husbands, and mess with facial hair—well, messing with facial hair is a special case.They also have a deep understanding of righteousness, they are not chaotic in the face of danger, and they can lead a group of women's soldiers to fight against riots.

...Of course, it's not yet the time for a woman to pick up a knife and mount a horse.

Ari naturally wanted to stay with her mother-in-law.

She didn't want to be idle, even if the queen was fine, she would think about other things.She has lost her love, if she doesn't find something meaningful to do, what else can she leave in this life?
She thought about it for a long time, and felt that the popularization of nurse knowledge in this era seems quite whimsical.Although she can also be an embroiderer, cook, teacher...but it always feels more unrealistic.

She was so busy that she didn't touch the ground, with all kinds of messy things in her mind, she paid less attention to the inner house.

It's just that before Sima Yu left, she also said to let her take care of Zuo Jiasi, so she also remembered to ask people to check on him regularly.

——If she can't be a lover, it seems that she can only be his housekeeper.

This battle was more heart-wrenching than Ahri had imagined.

Fortunately, in September, good news finally began to come from the front line.

Sima Yu's family letter was also sent along with the good news.The family letter didn't write any words about the love of children, but it said how busy he was this month, and he was often interrupted by chores as soon as he started writing, so he didn't write the first letter until now.Then he complained, talked about having fun, and reported safety.He also said that Wang Yan was also fine, so she didn't have to worry.

Fortunately, he didn't mention Zuo Jiasi.

At the end of the letter, he regretted that Mo Rujin said two words.

"I really miss it."

Ari brushed those two words with her fingertips, and her nose felt a little sore again.She knew that his "very read" was different from hers.

Ari was in a hurry, but Zuo Jiasi was quiet.

She was originally this character.The prince is not here, the only one who can talk to her in the whole palace is the queen mother.But the Queen Mother's elder brother is the governor of Xuzhou, and he is also on the front line, so he is not in the mood to talk to her.The queen even thought she was not pleasing to the eye.

She doesn't like to be cold-faced, and the queen also exempted her from the morning and evening meditation, so she nestled quietly by herself.

Those who keep quiet, when something really happens to her, they will explode with a thunderbolt.

Zuo Jiasi fell ill.

When the girls in her palace came back to report, Ari didn't take it seriously, she just thought it was just an occasional cold.When the imperial doctor checked the pulse and said "I'm afraid it's not good", the teacup in Ari's hand shattered to the ground.

She didn't regain her senses all the way, and the girl trotted all the way behind her. She tripped over the door sill and broke the teeth of her shoes, so they caught up.

When she entered the room, she heard Zuo Jiasi's cough and saw her lying on the bed, tears welled up in her eyes immediately.

She was really sad.

Although she knew that she was sad, she would be punished because of the brain damage and the Virgin, but she was sad.

She didn't hate Zuo Jiasi to the point of letting her die.

She just suddenly thought of the way Zuo Jiasi dragged her out of the pool, blinking innocently and saying "my leg cramps" innocently, she just missed the two people pointing out all kinds of meaningless things The gossip and laughing time.She just thought about when she would stop chasing her and calling "Sister", "Sister".

She should have known a long time ago that Zuo Jiasi's character was not good, so how could she let others see it.

Zuo Jiasi soon saw Ari, stood up and bowed obstinately first, and said, "Your Highness, Wanan." When Ari's tears dripped on the back of her hand, she finally couldn't help crying, "Ahri Sister, you are willing to come to see me."

Ah Li said, "What are you talking about, you want to see me, when can't you?"

Zuo Jiasi shook his head: "That's different."

Ahri just wanted to heal her.But her illness was delayed, and her heart was smoldering again, and it was hard to get back.

Ah Li didn't know what to say to Sima Yu.He gave special instructions before he left, but she made Zuo Jia sick like this.

She hesitated for a long time, and felt that she should tell Sima Yu the truth.Discussed with the queen, but the queen refused, saying: "How can I distract him at this time."

But Ah Li still wrote to Sima Yu.

She asked Zuo Jiasi if she had anything to say to Sima Yu.

Zuo Jiasi was eating the orange she peeled, and it was fine first. When Ari asked, she lost her temper for some reason, "Why did you tell him?"

Ari said, "...he misses you in his heart—he entrusted you to me before he left for the expedition. You must get well soon, or he will be sad to see you like this when he comes back."

Ari swears that she really wants to make Zuo Jiasi happy by saying this.

But Zuo Jiasi even dropped the pillow this time.

She was sensitive in her illness, and said a lot of stupid things, repeating over and over again, "You don't need to pity me." Until she fainted from exhaustion, she still murmured, "You like each other, and me, what should I do? Sister, what should I do?"

After that, she refused to see Ari again.

When Ari went to see her, she just turned around resentfully and covered her head with the quilt.
