Cold Palace’s Abandoned Consort

Just when she was lost in her voice and aphasia, there was a sound of horseshoes in front of her. Looking back, Lier ran back.

Far away, she waved at me and shouted, "Mother!"

I looked at her as if there was something red in her hand, it was very dazzling in the air, and a warm smile floated on her face. I watched her run all the way to me, stopped with a rein, her face There was a thin layer of sweat and some dust, but it looked healthier and rosier.

She held a bunch of small red flowers in her hand, and brought it to me: "Mother, I just saw it by the river, it is for you."

The little flower was still dewy and exuding fragrance. I took it in surprise, and smiled with eyes bent: "Li Li is so good."

She also smiled and suddenly saw Han Zitong behind me and said, "Aunt Zitong, you are here too, are you chatting with my mother? I haven't seen you."

Han Zitong seemed to be back at this time, and barely made a smile: "Lier."

"I just didn't know that Aunt Zitong was here, I just picked a bunch of flowers. Wait a minute, Aunt Zitong, I'll pick another bouquet for you."

After that, the girl turned her horse and ran forward.

I originally wanted to tell her to run for a long time and take a break, but it was enough to see her happily, and to pick flowers for Han Zitong, it was not easy to stop, just chased her behind and told her to be careful, waiting for the girl to run again It disappeared, and then turned around, but saw Han Zitong staring at me blankly, the anger on his face seemed to have subsided a little.

When I think about it, the concubines between adults still have to avoid the children, and are unwilling to let those clear eyes see the filth of the world.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but smile and walked to her.

She immediately frowned, as if she saw some viper beast approaching her, and said in disgust, "What are you doing here?"

Looking at her, I couldn't help grinning—in my life, some people hated me, some people were afraid of me, but she seemed to be the first to be disgusted. However, I did not hate her, even if she was indiscriminate, even though I almost died in her hands that night.

So, he said with a smile: "Li Zi's equestrian is so good. Who taught it, all of a sudden he ran away."

Han Zitong raised his head and looked at the grassy field as wide as possible. His eyes were a little blank, and he murmured, "How is equestrian good ... how is equestrian good? Run far away, also in this wall."

I froze and didn't speak. She suddenly turned her head and looked at me: "I heard that some time ago, your friend came to the house, and someone would fly around like a bird, right?"

"……Correct."

"What is your name?"

"Ye Fei."

"Ye ... Fei ..." She muttered the name, and a few loud tweets suddenly came from her head. Looking up, there were just a few wild geese flying. Han Zitong watched the wild geese fly high, slowly fly away, and finally became smaller and smaller, turning into a small dust in the sky, she murmured: "Fly ... if it would fly, it would be almost the same as these birds No matter how tall the walls are, they are not afraid. "

I glanced back at her.

Her eyes seemed a little dazed. Although this woman was so aggressive and did not blink when she first appeared, her expression now made me think that she seemed more vulnerable than her frail sister.

"Miss Zitong?"

I called her subconsciously. Han Zitong glanced back at me and looked at me with a heavy face. He said nothing and turned away.

I stood in place, looking at the back of her going away, momentarily agitated.

She looked at the sky just now, so blank, so lonely, I felt very familiar, but I can think about it carefully, but I ca n’t remember where I have seen it, but I just feel a sense of sadness.

After a long time, I realized that her eyes at that time were exactly the same as when I was in the palace when I looked at the walls around the palace.

But it wasn't the visible wall that trapped her.

.

When Zi Li came back and ran back in a few moments, Han Zitong had already left the racecourse, and the little girl was holding a red and gorgeous flower in her hand, but she was pouting with some frustration: "I went to pick it."

I smiled and said, "Your aunt Zitong is rushing home to go back to work."

"Oh……"

"Come." I said as I walked up and hugged her from the pony. The child ran for a few laps, panting, sweat was on his forehead. I took a handkerchief and wiped her gently, smiling. He said, "Are you tired?"

"Haha, not tired." She said, looking at me excitedly again: "Mother see it, I ride very well, right?"

"Ah, very good."

I didn't expect her to ride really well. Although it was just a short pony, it was really difficult for such a young girl to ride. I heard that she was in poor health when I was young. I was worried for a while, but now I see that she is so healthy, so happy, even so smart and capable, I just feel happy as if I had fallen into honey, so sweet that I couldn't speak .

Just when she and I were sweet and sweet, the other side of the mansion hurriedly walked over to a person, and I recognized at a glance that it was a map.

Shouldn't he be working with Pei Yuanxiu, what is he doing here?

I was puzzled, but when Butu saw us, he immediately ran over. When he ran to me, he saluted respectfully: "Mrs. Qingying, Miss Li."

I smiled and nodded to him and said, "Botu, it's been a long time. What's the matter?"

"My son asked his wife to go to the front hall to tell."

"My son?"

The more I wondered, what did Pei Yuanxiu ask me to go to the front hall? He asked, "He has something, he can talk to me at any time."

Butu's expression was a little dignified. He looked at Lier and smiled reluctantly: "It's probably something important."

I felt something faintly, Lier in my arms blinked at me with big eyes, and then suddenly said, "Mother, I'm going."

"Uh-" I haven't had time to say anything, Butu has laughed: "Miss Li has been running for so long, it's time to go back to rest, oh, this sweat, there will be sweat. Miss Li, the boy doesn't like sweating. "

As soon as I heard it, I raised my arm and smelled it, and immediately panicked, "I want to go back and wash!"

Butu beckoned, and two maids approached, carefully picking up Lier. At this time, I also understood, and whispered a few words from Lier, watching her obediently follow the two maids to leave, then turned to look at Butu, he said carefully: "Mrs. Qingying, please Right. "

I nodded and followed him to the front. After coming out of the racecourse, the garden of the mansion was advanced. It was a beautiful spring here. A few of the passers-by passed by and they stopped and saluted us. Although the map appeared for a short time, I also felt that he was not low in Pei Yuanxiu's side, and he did not often appear in the house. He was obviously not a steward, so let him ask me, what is the important thing? ?

As I walked, I said, "What's the important thing, should you tell me?"

Butu followed a distance of about half a step behind me, hesitating, and said, "A guest arrived."

"Guest?" But this morning, Butu told Pei Yuanxiu at the gate of the inner court. Some people are coming here. But the guests who come here are naturally Pei Yuanxiu's guests. Why call me?

"Where is the guest?"

"Guest from Nishikawa."

"...!"

I felt like I was struck by a lightning suddenly, my spine stiffened, and I couldn't believe looking back at him: "Where's the guest?"

"Nishikawa."

"... Nishikawa."

I murmured these two words, and suddenly felt that the blood in the whole body was coagulated, the limbs were cold, and it took me a while to get back to my senses.

Visitor from Xichuan?

Nishikawa? !!

These days, I'm not thinking about that place. On the contrary, because Shen Xiaokun told me that someone with a Shu accent wanted to take away Lier, and it gave me more dignity in my heart. I know that I talk to There is no break between Xichuan. Even if the boundary was defined by death at the beginning, not to mention, now, beside me, Pei Yuanxiu and Yao Lao, the current situation has become a triad. Today, I and Xichuan will meet again sooner or later.

But I never thought that this day would come so fast.

and--

I raised my pale face and looked at Butu: "Who is Xichuan, why do you have to see me?"

Butu hesitated for a moment, but didn't answer, only Shen said: "The guest is in the lobby, and his wife will know as soon as he goes."

"..."

I took a deep breath and turned to walk towards the front hall.

I went very fast this way. Although I didn't fall, I knew very well that my steps were completely disordered. Like my heartbeat, it was chaotic, even breathing was chaotic. When I walked that corridor After that, the front hall was right in front of them, and several maids were withdrawing from it. As soon as they saw me, they immediately bowed down and saluted: "Mrs. Qingying."

I had no thought what to say to them, only nodded hastily, and walked forward slowly.

Reaching for the curtain, everything in the front hall came into view.

At the other end of the slightly swaying bead curtain, I saw the back of Pei Yuanxiu, and at his base, a straight figure sat there, and the sunlight came in from outside the gate, clearly delineating his outline, looking young and handsome. , Wide forehead, straight nose bridge, and light lips.

Everything is so familiar.

The beading hand trembled slightly, and the beading curtain immediately fell down, and a messy clambling sound was heard from each other. As soon as they heard this, everyone in the front room turned back.

That familiar and young face just appeared in front of my eyes.
