"Thank you, cousin." I smiled gratefully, sincerely.
Standing at the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion, he looked at me with a smile and said, "Okay, go back. Don't go out during this period. Be obedient."
"Yeah!" He nodded vigorously: "I'll tell Fourth Brother, and you can go to his place for free in the future!"
"Hey! Not bad, she is a good girl who knows how to repay kindness." Ning Yuanjue laughed and then said, "It would be even more wonderful if my cousin could give me my life!"
Blushing, I glared at him. The door of the Prime Minister's Mansion had been opened, and a figure came out. I turned to look at Ning Yuanjue. The five-character calligraphy of "A moon makes a vast sea" was clear and elegant. I put the incense basket aside and walked away.
Go to him, stretch out your hand and say: "Cousin, give me the umbrella!" It's not a request, it's a coquettish request.
He was stunned for a moment, smiled, put down the umbrella, folded it and handed it to me. His handsome face came close to my ear and whispered, "Cousin, is this a token of love?"
I wrinkled my nose, took the umbrella, picked up the incense basket and ran into the house.
The door slowly closed, and while I was jogging, I looked back at Ning Yuanjue outside the door. That white figure in the desolate evening breeze full of spring scenery, I think I will always remember it.
"Second Miss, you are back. I am preparing to pick you up." Xiang Yinong looked at me with a worried look on his face and said.
"Oh, Prince Ning sent me back." He handed the incense basket to him, holding the umbrella, and gently touched the raised words on the folds with his fingers, feeling particularly peaceful and warm.
Xiang Yinong frowned, put the incense basket aside heavily, and told his servants to take it down in a very bad tone.
I looked at him strangely, thought for a while and said, "Such a big thing happened in the court. Dad went to the palace. I believe they are all busy discussing some countermeasures at this time. Why are you here free?"
Hearing this, Xiang Yinong's face became even more ugly. He gritted his teeth and said with bulging temples: "The prime minister heard that the second young lady went to Huaiyuan Temple and asked his subordinates to protect the young lady's safety."
Seeing his extremely reluctant look, I felt quite suffocated, so I pursed my lips and said, "Cousin Xiang feels that because of Zipei, you have been delayed from doing big things, right? If daddy wants you to protect your sister, I'm afraid...
It’s what you asked for.”
His face became darker, and my anger grew higher: "Do you think I, Liu Zipei, am a stumbling block in your eyes? You don't even think about it, if dad really wants you to go to the palace with him, he will make such a bad excuse!"
What kind of treatment do we, mother and daughter, receive on weekdays, so that we suddenly show such concern at this time? Don’t you think this is entirely using us as an excuse?"
"You!" He opened and closed his nose and mouth, his big eyes widened, he clenched his fists and endured it again and again: "Since the second lady is back safely, my subordinate's mission has been completed. Farewell!"
"Xiang Yinong! You hypocrite! You are greedy for fame and wealth! You are greedy for profit!" I picked up my umbrella and knocked on the stone table excitedly.
He stayed there, stared at me with a gloomy face, and said coldly: "I didn't expect that the second lady is also a unruly boss, and her mouth is quite vicious. I have nothing to say. People go to higher places, and water flows to lower places. That's right."
Everyone wants to move up, let alone me." After saying that, he waved his sleeves and left.
Looking at the umbrella with the jade stone knocked off the top, I was suddenly discouraged and sat on the stone bench to adjust my mood.
If I were him, I would do what he did, endure the humiliation and seek power and climb up. But now, even if I am wronged, I have not thought about how to fight and feel proud. I started to feel a little uneasy. When I was desperate,
What we hope for is that as long as we have a healthy body, people's desires are really endless.
When we walked into the yard, Luer came up to me happily, and then looked depressed. Lier also walked out of my mother's room and watched me helplessly nuzzling my mouth towards my mother's room.
I glanced at them, handed the umbrella to Li'er and walked into Mom's room.
The light in the room was very dark, and a red candle gave off a weak light that swayed and trembled. My mother was lying on the imperial concubine's couch, and the cool ice jade reflected the swaying candle flame, like someone's eyes of sadness and pity. I walked into her, Nian
Although faces over forty have less obvious spots, this is the most embarrassing thing for women with fair skin. With regular facial features and good grooming, even a MILF still has charm.
Two lines of clear tears flowed down her plain face, and her eyes were like empty abyss, dead and desolate.
I squatted down, put my hand on her face, and said softly: "I'm sorry, Mom, for making you worry."
Her tears reminded me of my mother’s tears when she found out about my strange illness. Even though I have no physical connection with the mother in front of me, I can still relate to her for more than four years and the love she has given me.
I felt it. I put my face on her lap, she raised her hand and stroked my hair, and said in an old voice: "Pei'er, what should I do in the future? What should I do in this way? Mother hates, hates... I hate that I had my own way back then.
The disappointment of the sons, the unfeeling hatred of the enemy... After so many years, how can he understand the love between husband and wife for a night and a hundred days? Alas... I asked for it... I asked for it. What should I do..."
I looked up at her in confusion.
"The emperor passed away." Her lips barely moved, she opened and closed her mouth and murmured: "The emperor passed away, the new king ascended the throne, the prince is the new king, and Zijin is of course the queen. Zi Pei, I hate, hate them,
They pinned us down and trampled us under their feet! Zipei, what should we do? We can't turn over."
"Mom!" I shook her shoulders and said, "How good and beautiful they are, what does it matter to us? At least we are still the wives and daughters of the prime minister!" I thought of the appearance of Commander He in the tower just now, the big tree of Prime Minister Liu
It’s not like trees can’t enjoy the shade.
"No, Zipei, you don't understand. In the ups and downs of life, it is difficult to accept the gap. At that time, the princess of the prince's palace was willing to be a concubine, and then she lived under the shining of the scenery and was ignored by her husband.
Can I swallow this breath of humiliation in the house? Now that Zi Jin has become the queen, I am not afraid of anything else. I am only afraid of the words she said that day, and she will give you to others casually. My mother's heart is so peaceful.
." The second lady covered her face with tears and continued with trembling shoulders: "Mom knows that you are interested in joining the army, but after all, he is only a staff member in the prime minister's palace and his rank is low. Your father will not agree. Besides, everyone knows that.
, He loves Zijin, and he won’t treat you well if he marries her."
"This is what Mom is worried about." I smiled and wiped her tears, and actually thought of Ning Yuanjue in my mind, and said: "Mom, just forget about asking my cousin for me. I'll go tell Ning Yuanjue and ask him to marry me.
If I can’t make it big, I can make it small.”
"No!" Mother scolded: "I would rather not marry than be a child."
I smiled naughtily, hugged her coquettishly and said, "Okay, okay, my daughter won't get married, I won't get married. My daughter will become a nun, haha."
In fact, when I said this sentence, it was purely a joke, but I didn't expect it to become a prophecy.
