Cold Palace’s Abandoned Consort

"later?"

She paused and said, "Later, he fell ill."

My heart fluttered suddenly.

There was a stunned expression on Tang Ting's face, and her pale face became bloodless under the reflection of the candlelight. She said gently, "In fact, my uncle had been sick before, but he was not so sick, There was no improvement for a long time, but it still managed to survive. But after that time, he fell down. He was a very capable person, and no one expected that he would suddenly fall down like this. "

"..."

"And, I never got up again."

"..."

My gaze looked at her empty.

Yes, I remembered it. That year, even the student who appeared in Xishan College in Jixiang Village passed my news back. I also got the news from Huang Tianba. It ’s possible that Yan Qingchen To Yangzhou, I have no doubt that he will come to me immediately.

But until Pei Yuanzhang appeared and forced Liu Qinghan away, he didn't come.

Later, I learned that because that year, my father died of illness.

But I don't know where my father's illness started.

It turns out ...

Tang Ting then said quietly: "Later, I went to Sha Shen Cliff again. At that time, the statue of the Bodhisattva had been molded, and those workers told me that when my uncle went to Sha Shen Cliff and saw the statue, he once He was locked in that temple all night, and no one knew what he was doing inside. "

"..."

"He didn't tell anyone."

"..."

Having said that, looking at the red eyes that I have earned, Tang Ting paused and said gently: "Miss, I didn't conceal it intentionally. I also know that I should tell you about it. But, My heart is always-- "

She stopped talking, with heavy and contradiction in her eyes. I didn't say anything, only nodded gently.

I also understood.

Although they are divided according to their influence, they all belong to my mother's Majesty, but to my father, they cannot be as hostile as Xue Ye; besides, the father aggravated his illness after seeing the same statue as his mother. For Tang Ting, she also felt guilty.

not to mention……

I can remember everything when I was a kid, and of course she remembers that when she was a little girl behind my **** and called her sister, her father hugged her lovingly, and let her ride on her shoulders and lie on the tree. The small stone hit Anyang's leg on her back.

All good memories should not be distorted by the impact of interest, stand, or hatred in the years after that.

She is willing to remember the good, and so am I.

I sighed and said, "You just told me all these things?"

"Well," she nodded. "Even my father and mother didn't know these years."

"okay, I get it."

Seeing a tinge of tiredness on my face, Tang Ting thought about it and asked, "Miss, shouldn't this matter have any impact on tomorrow's affairs?"

I smiled: "It's been more than a decade ago, what else can it do?"

"..."

"Rest assured, tomorrow we just have to deal with it well, if it doesn't work-Chengdu, we can think of a way."

"Ok."

She nodded, looked at my face again, and said, "Miss must be very tired, so rest early."

"Ok."

I got up and sent her out. The sky outside was so dark that I could n’t see my fingers, but fortunately she did n’t need any guidance at all. She quickly walked out of this small yard and disappeared into the night. Far away, I heard a few naughty in the village The child ran back from the village entrance. He should have been caught by his own father and mother, beaten and scolded, and the dogs of his family were barking.

I stood at the gate of the courtyard and felt these almost earthy lives, only feeling sore in my heart.

I do n’t know if my parents, if they were born in such a small and peaceful village, live next door to each other, they will grow up carefree when they are young, and will be suitable When they talk about marriage, they do n’t know the outside world, they do n’t understand the cruel life of the official family ’s golden jade. In that case, can the two of them be happier?

And me, my destiny, will it be different?

But all this is just my delusion.

Our lives have come this far, and there is no longer a chance to look back.

I slowly returned to the room, closed the door, and looked back at the candlelight that was constantly shaken by the wind, and under the candlestick, the little medicine box seemed to be exuding a faint fragrance in the night. .

I walked over, looked calmly for a while, then leaned down to blow out the candle.

Everything, to peace, to darkness.

The next day, Aunt Hong and Susu came to help me get up.

I didn't sleep well, but fortunately, my spirit was not bad. After I ate a little, I stood in the center of the room, like a puppet, tossed by them, thick dress, layer by layer On my body.

Today is an ancestor worship.

According to the rules, women cannot enter the ancestral hall or worship their ancestors, but they can always think of ways outside the rules. The rule of the Yan family is that women can bring children and the servants of the Yan family perform sacrifices outside the ancestral temple. They still say Respect the ancestors and pray for blessings.

It took a long time before I changed my clothes and finally went out.

As soon as I went out, I saw almost all the villagers in Gantang Village dispatched.

Everyone went to the side of the shrine.

Although they are not surnamed Yan, because in this village of Gantang, they are all guarding the ancestral hall with Mr. Ma, they are also considered to be members of the Yan family. Such a big sacrifice naturally goes to them.

I was aided by Su Su and walked there too. Just after walking through an alley, I heard a group of dolls ran out from behind and almost hit me. Red aunt picked up one of the oldest and tallest children. The boy's collar scolded: "Second dog, what are you hitting blindly!"

The boy was ten years old, black and thin, like a naughty monkey, scolded and scolded by Aunt Hong, looked back at us, and suddenly blushed to the ears, saying, "Aunt Hong, I have Big name, don't call me my little name. "

"What happened to your nickname?"

"I'm grown up, not a kid."

"Not a kid, who was that last night, and was beaten by your dad with his ears in the middle of the night? It was like nothing."

"Ah, Aunt Hong, don't say, don't say!"

The child had red ears and red ears, for fear of losing face in front of his partner, and Aunt Red saw that he was so anxious to scratch his ears and scratch his cheeks, and then he dropped him: "Be obedient to the side. Later, if you rush to quarrel at the shrine, I will Break your leg! "

"I know, father and mother have been talking for a long time."

"Also, don't be lazy when you run errands later, otherwise I'll tell your father and let him pump you!"

The child only promised, and ran away against the wall. I was a little tense, and thought they had troubled this scene, but relaxed a bit, and laughed: "This kid was beaten that last night? I also heard it."

"He is the most disobedient in this village. He is as skinny as a monkey and does not learn well with his younger brothers and sisters. Every day he runs wild in the village. I don't know what to fear."

"Does nobody care?"

"Who has a traffic controller? This is the case in this village. In fact, his father and mother originally wanted to send him to town to study, but where can he read it? He has grown so big that he doesn't even know the word."

Aunt Hong watched the child run away and whispered a few words.

I looked back at her, and my face was full of smiles. Aunt Hong came here with Susu to accompany me and move on.

Soon we walked outside the Yan Clan Ancestral Hall.

It was a little different from when she showed me that day. The yard full of fallen leaves had been cleaned before. It seemed that it was flushed with water at dawn. It was not stained and felt when standing here. There was a burst of coolness on the bluestone.

Almost all the people in the village gathered here, but there was no noise. Even the noisy children just now stood behind their adults quietly. They were neat and tidy around this large courtyard. Standing all around.

And in the middle of the courtyard, Xue Yan stood.

She has put on a very formal gown, holding a dragon dragon cane, and is particularly magnificent, and the family members of the Yan family are listed behind her.

As soon as she raised her eyes, she saw me, and her brows frowned immediately.

I didn't say anything, so I walked forward and walked behind her.

When Yan Ruoyu stood by my side, when I saw me approaching, she nodded and smiled slightly at me. I also smiled back to her, and looked up to the front, Xue Yan gave me a cold look, and then "hum" With a sound, turned his head.

I sighed softly in my heart, didn't say anything, just looked around.

On the ground of this courtyard, there were several thick wooden columns horizontally, and hemp ropes were wrapped around them, forming a large circle. I didn't know what to do.

Confused, I looked up again.

Standing here are all female dependents, without a man, and in front of it, the gate of the ancestral hall that had been closed tightly was finally opened at this moment.

But even if it is opened, you can't fully see the scene inside. You can only see a few tadpoles busy, holding sacrifices for sacrifices in your hands, and then you can't see what it is like inside.

Most women can't see it all their lives, because no matter what our last name is, we can't enter our own temple all our lives.

Thinking of this, I could not help but sigh gently in my heart.

When I look back, Aunt Hong has taken Susu to the other column behind our queue. They are not Yan, but they still belong to the Yan family. They cannot enter the ancestral hall during the sacrifice. Salute outside.

After seeing them, I thought about it and glanced around again.

Basically all the people have come here. I looked back and forth several times, and finally behind the group of villagers, I saw the familiar figure-Pei Yuanxiu.

Immediately, I breathed a sigh of relief.

He stands so far away, naturally because today ’s sacrifice belongs to the Yan family. He is neither surnamed Yan nor separated from me—in fact, even if we are not separated, his sacrifice to the Yan family is a little bit. No relationship. I was looking for him because I was a little upset.

After all, things have come to this day. He is in front of me and everything is on guard; if he is not in front of me, I will worry about more things.

And he stood in the crowd with no expression, and when I looked at him, he was looking at me.
