Cold Palace’s Abandoned Consort

A faint smile appeared on Pei Yuanxiu's face, and he turned to Wu Yanqiu and said, "It's hard for Master Wu."

"Dare."

Wu Yanqiu said these two words, and also looked at him carefully. Under everyone's attention, he waved his hand gently, immediately behind him came a few servants, went forward and took the gift boxes.

He smiled, "Thank you for your host."

"Don't dare," Wu Yanqiu said respectfully, and then continued, "Actually, the master still has something to ask for."

"Oh? What?"

"The host is very happy to visit Yangzhou with Miss Li today. I hope to have such an opportunity again."

"..."

"So, tomorrow, the host hopes to invite Miss Li to cross the river and visit Yangzhou again."

"..."

Pei Yuanxiu and I were silent.

For a moment, my heart trembled.

Pei Yuanzhang will have to leave the river and join him for another day?

Although this requirement is unquestionable to a father, and he has been separated from Lier for many years, I can fully understand his longing and affection for his daughter, but-let Lier cross the river, but also Let her leave me, and let her go with Pei Yuanzhang?

I shuddered at the thought that I could not see a boat coming from Yangzhou just now, worried that Lier would be taken away by him, and I would never see him again.

This time, Pei Yuanxiu didn't speak, but glanced at me.

Obviously, on this issue, he also seems to understand that he has the right to accept, but cannot refuse a father's request.

But me, what should I do?

accept? Or refuse?

At this moment, I was completely confused, and I didn't even have the time to think about the pros and cons. I just looked down at Lier and blinked, blinking like stars.

After a few moments of silence, I asked, "Lier, do you still want to go?"

She blinked, and immediately wanted to say something, but she opened her mouth and didn't say anything immediately. Instead, she looked at me and then Pei Yuanxiu. After a similar silence, she said, "Mother, Dad, you must leave, just leave."

"..."

When she said that, I even did not know how to decide.

Pei Yuanxiu, who has been with me, also seems to be in a chaotic mood. This one is obviously beyond the expectations of me and him. I did not even think that it seems that Pei Yuanzhang did not intend to return to Beijing immediately. Status, at least he will stay in Yangzhou for a while.

why?

For leaving?

Or, what other intentions does he have?

Seeing that the word "chuan" had been twisted out of my eyebrows, but was unable to respond, Wu Yanqiu smiled again and said, "The master also said it, but I was afraid that the son and his wife would not consider it in a hurry. Not tonight, let the two of them think about it carefully. When the next day passes, Xiaguan will still be waiting for Miss Li to drive at the pier. "

"..."

I didn't say anything, Pei Yuanxiu said, "What if you don't come away?"

"That's because it's not good for the officials to do things. It's nothing special."

Having said that, it is already obvious that _ Pei Yuanzhang wants to spend another day with Lier, but he does not force anyone, but just makes this request, and he does not agree, it is all with us.

After realizing this, Pei Yuanxiu and I looked at each other subconsciously, and then both looked at the ship that sent the child back.

Pei Yuanzhang, is it such a person?

Is he the one who only asks, but waits for others to make a decision?

No, he has never been. He is a judge by nature. Only he can judge the right and wrong of others, right and wrong. Only he can make the decision to give or take. How can he give us the right to adjudicate on himself? Let us make a judgment as to whether Lier will be with him for another day.

But the situation at hand is clearly so.

Pei Yuanxiu and I both frowned subconsciously, and didn't speak for a while.

Wu Yanqiu said with a smile: "If the two have no objections, then Xiaguan will leave."

After saying that, arching towards us and nodding to Lier with a smile and nodding, Lier also nodded slightly, then Wu Yanqiu turned and walked on the big ship, and after a while, the ship slowly turned around. Bow, sailing towards Yangzhou.

At this time, the setting sun was sloping west, and the golden yellow sun shrouded the entire earth, and it was also covered with the entire river. The undulating river water reflected thousands of points of golden light, gorgeous and dazzling. The ship was so slow. Slowly entered the sparkling light, and finally disappeared into the rising water mist. I was holding Lier's hand, still a bit silent, and didn't know what to say. Instead, Pei Yuanxiu turned to look at us, and then smiled, "Let's go back first, and go back and talk about anything."

I nodded, and took Lier, and followed him away.

Get on the carriage __ Because we were only here to pick up the child, so we only took one carriage, and those boxes were only stacked in the carriage. There were too many things. As soon as we got on the carriage, we saw almost half of the carriage. They were all piled up, and the three of us were naturally squeezed to the other side of the carriage.

Lier still held me in one hand and Pei Yuanxiu's arm in one hand.

But this time, none of them spoke.

Pei Yuanxiu and I, as always, could not help but be silent. Even when I was away, I didn't seem to have any mood to talk, but it wasn't that I was in a low mood. On the contrary, her eyes flashed almost as gorgeous as the river reflecting the sunset Glory.

Seems to be remembering something.

The three of them sat in the carriage quietly with their own thoughts. But this quietness seems to be a kind of quietness with strange surges hidden in it, because it seems that there are more than three of us in this compartment.

The golden boxes stacked opposite us, with the breath of that person, with his perception, stood in front of us coldly and silently, as if the fourth invisible person in the compartment was watching us coldly, Peeping into each of our hearts.

...

Back in the house, as soon as the carriage was out, a group of attendants and maids ran out to greet.

The headmaids were the maids who had talked to Han Zitong before.

When they saw me, their faces were slightly embarrassed. They hurried up and called up Madam Husband and helped me get out of the carriage. I also knew the difficulties of their descendants and did not show them any complexities, but smiled lightly. After getting out of the carriage, he went back and took Lier down again.

After standing, I looked at Pei Yuanxiu.

His face still had the same smile. He lowered his head and stroked Lier's head, and then said to me with a smile: "You take Lier back to rest for a while. She played for a day, and she must be tired and hungry. Wait for the night One point, let's discuss it. "

I nodded. "Well."

After speaking, I took Lier and walked in. When he walked a few steps behind us and wanted to split his way to the study room, I heard the maids whispering to him, "My son, Miss Zitong has ordered us I've cleaned up the boy's previous room. Boy tonight ... "

I quickened a few steps and took her away without hearing it.

After going back, she went to take a bath first, and the maids also prepared her dinner, but obviously the excitement of this girl has not passed, and she ca n’t eat too much, only under my "intimidation", Reluctantly swallowed half a bowl with soup and was forced to drink another bowl of fragrant drink before it was counted.

After the maids had packed their things and left the inner courtyard, after only me and her were left in the room, I sat on the couch and waved gently to her. The girl ran over with a smile and nestled in my arms .

The bathed body exuded a faint floral scent, and her hair was wet and greasy in my shoulder socket, bringing a sticky coolness.

I said softly, "Get out, have fun today?"

She didn't answer, but nodded heavily in my arms.

I asked again, "What a happy way?"

She thought quietly for a while, then raised her head and said to me, "Mother, Yangzhou is so beautiful."

"is it?"

"It turned out that Yangzhou is as big as Jinling, and the streets there are also lively __ more lively than Jinling."

"Did you go shopping?"

"Well. We also go to the tea house for tea and listen to a story alone."

tell a story……? Storyteller storytelling.

"What story did that person tell?"

"Qin Qiong is the third defender!"

"anything else?"

"Three British battle Lu Bu!"

I smiled and said that most of the storytellers in the teahouse talked about these paragraphs, and the ups and downs of heroic stories that swallowed thousands of miles, but it was strange for a little girl to listen to this.

I laughed: "Does it sound good?"

Lier pursed his lips and said, "It sounds good or it sounds good, those great heroes are all amazing! It's just ______ always fought, and it's also boring."

I smiled.

She added: "So that person gave the tea house manager a piece of silver and told the storyteller to tell some more stories."

I stunned for a moment before reacting. The "that person" she meant was Pei Yuanzhang.

There are some accidents, but it does not seem to be unexpected. Pei Yuanzhang did not tell her own identity or the idea of ​​recognizing her in the slightest, and even did not tell her even a basic name, so Lier would call him "that person".

I laughed: "What story did he let that person tell?"

She thought for a while before saying, "Tell a mirror story."

"The story of the mirror?"

"Yes," Lier nodded and said, "The owner of that mirror is a princess, called __"

I looked at her and thought hard, but maybe I have seen too much and heard too much today. A little story, she didn't pay attention to memorizing, so I didn't think about it for a long time.

"..." I was silent for a while and said, "Is it Princess Lechang, and Xu Deyan?"
