Cold Palace’s Abandoned Consort

Huang Tianba.

Although his eyes flashed with joyful light, I could see the gloom and exhaustion under the light at a glance, which could not be masked by any kind of charm and beautiful smile.

Although he stood with hands behind his back and smiled, I frowned slightly without realizing it.

These three days when Liu Saner and I got married, he did n’t come very often, because even if I did n’t ask anything, I knew that once he left home, it turned out that something happened in that home that made him unable to stay, but it was money from time to time Will come to see us, and I understand why he came.

After all, Mu Hua hasn't changed.

What changed is Huang Tianba.

I have explored Qian Wu's tone, and now Huang Tianba does n’t have much time to leave home. More often, even if Mu Hua has smashed everything that can be smashed in the house, he just quietly closed in the yard. Sitting with his eyes, he waited until Mu Hua was so tired that he could not get up. Then he got up and calmly cleaned up.

I don't know why. From the day I got married, Huang Tianba has been so strangely calm in the face of the official difference in collecting the head tax.

I felt faintly that there seemed to be something going on, but I could look in his eyes, but found nothing.

.

He came today because the trustee brought some wine from Yangzhou, and something happened at home. He simply came over to take it himself. Liu San'er was very happy to accompany him, and I had a big belly. Of course, I could n’t go out. Liu Before Saner left, he explained that he would make two more dishes for dinner and wanted to keep him for dinner.

I smiled and nodded.

When the two men left the door, I was about to go to the kitchen, but I saw Queen Yin lying behind the door, looking at Huang Tianba's back carefully with a vigilant look.

Her madness did not improve, because the doctor could not see the root cause, but fortunately, it did not worsen, except that the previous fire in the kitchen scared her. Usually, she was also a kind of woman with a stubbornness. The obstacle was only when Huang Tianba came, she would look at him in the corner so carefully.

It's not that scary. If she's afraid, she will shout at Liu San'er aloud, but this kind of careful, almost observing look always makes me a little uneasy.

I walked over with a smile: "Auntie, what are you looking at?"

She looked at me and whispered, "Where is my son?"

"Oh, he goes to get wine with Grandpa Huang."

"Take wine?"

She lowered her head for a long time and suddenly grabbed my hand: "He won't go very far, won't he come back?"

Go a long way ...? I don't know why, this sentence made my heart sink a bit, and for a while my spirit was a little hesitant and silent.

After a while, I returned to God, and saw Queen Yin looking at me carefully, and smiled slightly: "No, they just go to get wine, and come back later. You come into the room to rest and eat me Call you."

"Oh, oh oh."

She nodded indifferently before turning back.

.

The next time, my expression kept sulking. I almost poured the salt into the rice when I was cooking. After I finally cooked the table, I saw Liu Saner coming back from the outside.

I ushered up and looked out: "What about Huang Ye?"

"Go to the river."

"riverside?"

"He said he didn't want to eat, he just wanted to drink, and went to the river to relax."

When I heard this, I knew in my heart. After all, he was sitting on the treetop. The lonely silhouette impressed me so much. I sighed in my heart and stopped saying anything. I called Aunt Liu and they came out. People had dinner.

As usual, Liu San'er was always the fastest one to eat, but today he seems a little embarrassed, and several times he smashed the vegetables and dropped to the table, otherwise he just chopped rice and did n’t eat a bite. Worry.

They waited until Aunt Liu had finished eating, and when he got off the table, he was still choking.

I took a piece of meat and brought it to his bowl. Liu San'er woke up and looked up at me with a little embarrassed smile.

I asked, "What do you think is so amazing?"

With that said, there was a bit of joy on his face, and he leaned over and said, "Lightness, I know where the problem lies."

I frowned: "What?"

"Just now I told you why the emperor's order was actually right, but the people always didn't support him."

"..." My brows frowned even more, staring at him without saying a word.

However, Liu San'er didn't seem to feel how deep my heart was at this time, and even said happily: "Take the head tax. Look, there are only two of us in the family who do the work. You have to pay rent for one season, and there are four people's taxes. You can look at the king ’s family home in Qishan Village. Their family has a few hundred acres of land. Each season, just collecting the rent paid by those people is a big deal, but There are at most ten people in their family. The head tax is not worth mentioning to him, but it is completely different for us. "

"..."

"I also heard that there are nearly a thousand acres of land in Niangniang Mountain, all of which are officials of the court. How many acres of land can you collect, but how many people can a family have? How much tax can I charge? "

"..."

"It's not fair at all."

My heart became tighter and tighter, and I couldn't say a word. Looking at Liu San'er, he looked down and thought for a while. "So, it's not the emperor who is wrong, but the method of collecting taxes.

"Liu Saner!"

He didn't finish his words, I interrupted him all of a sudden.

Liu San'er was frightened, turned his head and looked at me sternly, I looked at him, and felt that I was a bit morbid. He barely wanted to smile, but he could feel his eyes jumping hard.

It seems that the night outside the room has permeated the room, and it has permeated my body.

Liu San'er stared at me: "Lightness, what happened to you?"

"..." Then I settled down and made a reluctant smile: "I'm finished, my chest is a little stuffy and I want to go out for a walk."

"Oh, I'll go with you."

"No, you eat it quickly and wash the bowl." I said, stood up, looked outside, and said, "Just as Huangye is by the river, I used to ask and see how he was."

"okay."

He nodded, lowered his head and chopped the rice, but still seemed a little upset, and looked up at me.

I said nothing, turned around and went out.

.

Night fell, and there was a gloom around. The little fishes and fire reflections by the river reflected on the sparkling water, and stood in front of the eyes, just like the old memories.

I stood on the bank of the river, and at a glance I saw the waves of light, those eyes more charming than waves.

There are still thousands of styles, and the glory of the inner magpie is like a living aura, shining with a quiet wisdom. Although it is not sharp, it has an indescribable sense of charm.

Huang Tianba sat on a big rock by the river, holding a small wine jar in his hand, and looked at the night in front of him.

But when I approached, I saw that there were several wine altars floating in the river, and they floated away to the distance.

Hearing my footsteps, he turned to look at me and smiled, "You are here."

"Huang Ye."

His eyes moved to my belly, and he smiled, "Is the child born?"

"The month is coming."

"Oh……"

He looked at my stomach again, but his eyes seemed slightly faint. After all, he didn't say anything, and took another sip of wine.

Not too far away, I can already smell the sweet aroma of Ewha White Ginger. He drank too much, but he didn't seem to be drunk at all. His eyes were clearer and clearer under the aura of wine. See through many.

He smiled and said, "You seem to have something to tell me?"

"..."

I thought about it, and finally looked up and said to him, "Yeah Huang, can you-don't tell those to Liu San'er."

He had originally raised his head to drink, and when he heard this sentence, he looked down at me slightly.

"You mean, what did he ask me?"

"Yes."

Huang Tianba didn't seem surprised, but just smiled slightly: "You don't want him to know too much?"

I nodded.

"Within his life, you didn't tell him."

I nodded. I told him Liu Saner's life experience, and Huang Tianba was surprised, and he felt a little guilty. At first, he had stopped Mo Tieyi from using them several times, but the Liu family's father and son eventually died under the sword of those people. Therefore, he did not treat Liu Saner like others. Although he was approachable, he always brought With a slight indifference, on the contrary, two people often have a lot to say when they are together.

"why?"

"..."

I was silent for a long time, finally sighed, and slowly raised my head to look at him: "Yellow Lord, did you see what Lord Liu Shizhou was like when he died?"

Huang Tianba's smile froze.

I said gently: "I haven't seen it, but I've seen what Lord Liu Yi was like when he died."

His smile faded completely, replaced by a pale and pale blood.

"It's miserable, it's all covered with injuries, it's also on the throat, and there is blood on his neck when he died. He carried it for a few months, and in order not to let the emperor blame the people in the south, he insisted on giving him a head and confessed to me. Many things before they die. "

Huang Tianba's throat was dumb, and after a while, he said, "What did he tell you?"

"He told me to watch out for his sister's provocation in the presence of the emperor and to retaliate against the people in the south; he also told me that Hongye Temple has a lot to do with assassins; he also said that in the past, the three southern provinces had a waterway handle. Good man, if one day he can be invited to join the WTO, he will be able to benefit the people of the South. "

His face was getting paler.

I continued: "He finally told me that if one day he could meet his brother, he must not tell him that his life, whether he is living well or suffering, let him live like this."

Huang Tianba's eyes flickered slightly and he looked at me.

After a while, he seemed to understand it, his angular lips were slightly raised, like a smile, but bitter: "Liu Yi, really a good person, a good official, a good brother."

After hearing Liu Yi's words for the first time, like him, I was full of doubts, but after thinking about it, I understood.

When Liu Yi said that, he was afraid he knew he would not live too long, and his father might have been worse than him when he died. If Liu Saner knew his life, he would not get affection. It was sudden hatred.

Father and brother, how terrible it is, how sad it is to die.

I said, "And I don't tell him this, there is another reason, and the reason I don't want you to tell him those things."

Huang Tianba frowned and looked down at me.
