Chapter 14 Grass by the Qingqing River

So I chose a day when the sky was clear and the weather was clear. Huanbi hugged "Sauvignon Blanc" and followed me on foot to the back mountain. WWW.tsxsw.COM But I saw a white horse parked outside the door, with a red tassel ball hanging around its neck.

It was gnawing on young grass leisurely. I took a look, and a thin cloud of joy suddenly filled my heart. It was "Yu Feng". When it saw me, it neighed with joy.

I caressed its ears, and Huanbi couldn't wait to push the door in. There was a cheerful chatter inside the door, but it stopped temporarily because Huanbi pushed the door open. I picked up my clothes and went in, and I could already hear Huanbi's crisp voice.

Say "Your Majesty".

Where I looked, I saw him in a moon-white gauze shirt, standing beside Concubine Shu Gui with his hands behind his hands. When he heard the sound, he looked at me with surprise and even more surprise. He said: "Fang Cai's mother

Fei just told me about you..."

I understood, nodded to him, and then turned to Concubine Shu Gui and turned to her husband's shirt as a gift. Concubine Shu came to help me with a smile and said, "Cao Cao is here soon. You can't talk behind someone's back." Then she pointed at Xuan Qing,

He said: "I just came back from Sichuan and Sichuan. I haven't even had time to go back to the palace. It's a coincidence that you came here."

I smiled and said, "Seeing that the weather is quite nice today, I'll bring 'Sauvignon Blanc' to the concubine. I have to trouble the concubine to make up for the trouble I've caused."

The concubine said kindly: "Silly boy, he keeps saying stupid things and makes people feel distressed."

I pointed at Huanbi and said, "This is my personal maid. I brought her here to pay my respects to the concubine today."

Huanbi bowed politely and said, "Greetings to the concubine and the prince."

Xuan Qing said with a smile: "It is rare for Huanbi to pay me such a big gift. Today I am proud of my mother and concubine."

Concubine Shu Gui waved Huanbi to come closer, took her hand and looked at her carefully and said: "The eyebrows and eyes are very neat, with thin skin and white flesh." Concubine Shu looked at me with a smile and said: "Especially these eyes, they are so long.

Looks a lot like you."

I didn't want the concubine's eyes to be so sharp, so I smiled quickly and said, "Yes."

Xuan Qing also laughed at the side: "I didn't think it through carefully before, but now I heard my mother and concubine talk about it, and they do look a bit similar."

Huanbi bowed her head shyly and handed the piano to Jiuyun's hand, and then we sat and drank tea together.

, you always like it."

The tea cup is made of snow-white new porcelain, which makes the tea in the cup full of green. He knows my likes and dislikes very well. But when he suddenly saw this tea, which I often drank when I was in the palace, I couldn't say I was sad or happy.

I just feel so sad. The tea cup is new, the tea leaves are also new, but I, the tea drinker, am still the same person as before.

Xuan Qing had just returned from afar. Concubine Shu Gui loved her son so much that she couldn't help but hold his hand and ask him questions.

Concubine Shu Gui and Qing conversed a few words in Baiyi dialect. I didn't quite understand them, so I couldn't help but frown slightly and listened carefully.

Huanbi saw me frowning and whispered in my ear: "Concubine Shu Gui was speaking to the prince in the Baoyi dialect. She was telling the prince to be careful in the palace and to be careful about himself at ordinary times. Just stay safe and behave yourself."

Huanbi spoke in a low voice, but Concubine Shu Gui was close enough to hear her. She couldn't help but look at Huanbi, her two beautiful eyebrows curled like round beads, and asked: "Do you know the Yiyi language?"

Huanbi hesitated for a moment and said, "I understand." She composed herself, "Because my slave's mother is a slut."

I was shocked. No wonder Huanbi had to come with me today. It turned out that her biological mother was also a foreigner.

Concubine Shu Gui said "Oh", with a rather happy look on her face, and said, "Really?" She asked a few words in Yiyi dialect.

Without thinking, Huanbi answered fluently in the Baiyi dialect, and greeted Concubine Shu Gui with the courtesy of the Baiyi people who had seen their elders.

As expected, Princess Shu Gui smiled broadly and waved with a smile: "Come here and let me take a good look at you."

Huanbi followed the instructions and walked closer, once again pulled her gusset as a courtesy in the Central Plains, knelt down and blessed her with a blessing, and said: "May your concubine be safe."

Concubine Shu Gui stretched out her hand to lift her chin, looked at her carefully for a long time, and asked softly: "Are you a slave in Madam Zhen's house?"

Huanbi lowered her head unconsciously, her voice almost inaudible, "Yes. It's the former Minister of Civil Affairs, Zhenfu."

The concubine pondered for a moment, then suddenly her eyes lit up and she asked, "Is his name Zhen Yuandao?"

Huanbi nodded lightly, "Exactly."

When I asked about my father, I couldn't keep silent, so I said clearly: "Zhen Yuandao is my father, and Huanbi has been by my side since I was a child. They are called slaves, but in fact they are like sisters."

Xuan Qing's gentle smile was like the white clouds on the horizon, "Huanbi grew up in the Zhen Mansion since she was a child. When my wife was in the palace, Huanbi was by her side. Now we share the joys and sorrows."

Concubine Shu Gui remained silent, stared at Huanbi for a moment, and suddenly asked: "Who are you, He Mianmian?"

Huanbi's body trembled suddenly, and a thin layer of mist suddenly appeared in her bright autumn eyes. Tears were already rolling in her eyes, and her voice trembled slightly: "She is my mother."

I was also shocked. This was the first time I heard the name of Huanbi's biological mother. Until now, I only knew that Huanbi was my sister, and no one told me anything about her mother.

It is unknown.

But, Mianmian, with such a sentimental name and a poor background, how could he be such a charming woman?

Concubine Shu Gui sighed, showing a look of relief, and said: "Sure enough, mother and daughter look so similar, as if they were carved from the same mold." She said with concern: "How is your mother?"

Huanbi couldn't answer for a moment, her throat was choked with sobs, and her tears were already rolling down. She could hardly answer, so she had to turn around and wipe away her tears. I answered for her: "When Huanbi was born, her mother passed away. So.

Daddy brought her back and raised her in the house since she was a child."

Concubine Shu Gui sighed sadly, and said for a moment: "That's right. After Mianmian and I were both criminals, she was banished to a slave status forever and was not allowed to stand up. Naturally, she could not marry into an official family as a wife or concubine. No wonder she wanted to be called a slave.

You are a young lady." As she said this, tears welled up in her eyes, and she lowered her head and sobbed: "It's such a pity for Mianmian." Then he beckoned Huanbi to come forward, stroked her forehead and said, "My dear child, I have really wronged you.

"

I was also sad in my heart. I looked up and saw Xuan Qing's gaze fixed on my face. I quickly turned my head away from looking at him. I only said to Concubine Shu Gui: "Huanbi's mother, are you familiar with the concubine?"

Concubine Shu Gui patted Huanbi's shoulder comfortingly and said to me: "In the past, when we came out of Baiyi, Jiuyun and I were together. At that time, the war was in turmoil and people were panic-stricken. It happened that we met the same people who came out of Baiyi and returned to surrender.

Zhou's Mianmian." The concubine was very emotional, "She was not called Mianmian at that time, but was called Bizhu'er. Mianmian was the name she later changed herself." Speaking of this, the concubine just looked at me silently, silently.

The words are only clear and clear, and the eyes are deep and distant.

My heart suddenly lit up, as if lightning flashed through my heart, suddenly shining brightly, I blurted out: "The green grass by the river, Mianmian misses the long journey! Because her father's name is Zhen Yuandao, so she changed her name to Mianmian, right?"

Princess Shu Gui nodded heavily and sighed: "That's right. Mianmian loves your father with all her heart, so she changed her name to express her deep and unswerving determination. Although she is a criminal, she is afraid that your father will also be greatly affected by her affection.

moveable."

I looked at Huanbi, and her face was so full of tears that she was so weak. Concubine Shu Gui said that Huanbi looked very similar to her mother. Except for her eyes, which were similar to mine, everything about her

They are all born out of her biological mother, with soft lines on her cheeks, a small chin, and a gentle temperament. Then that Mianmian is naturally as graceful and beautiful as Huanbi. Not to mention that the Pai Yi woman is good at singing and dancing, and she is big and beautiful.

She has unrestrained perseverance that is rare among women from the Han family in the Central Plains, which is evident from the fact that she changed her father's name.

Huanbi fell on Concubine Shu Gui's lap and sobbed: "Dad said that when my mother died, she still called her father's name before she breathed her last breath."

The panic in my heart is like the rolling clouds in the sky.

In fact, father and mother are just an ordinary official couple, and they cannot be said to be very affectionate. However, after having children and raising children together for many years, they still have some feelings for each other. At least in the eyes of our children, they always treat each other with respect. Moreover,

Daddy also has a concubine in the house, who was bought from Jiangnan more than ten years ago. At that time, my mother always said that daddy was an official after all, and having a concubine in the house was not always bad, and she wanted to prevent outsiders from talking about her.

Being sour and jealous is not tolerated, so I decided to buy it for my father. It’s just that this aunt is just a decoration. I don’t see my father getting close to her a few times in a year, but this aunt usually serves my mother more often.

In my free time, I only teach our sisters how to play the xun or the flute. My aunt is unfavored and has no children, so she can’t shake my mother’s status in the slightest. So my mother occasionally says that she is lucky enough to marry her father.

Such an official family, who is not good at women and does not marry three wives and four concubines, has a peaceful and peaceful life.

However, my mother was such a ignorant and unaware person. She did not know that after her quiet and peaceful life, there was such a deep love hidden between her husband and another woman.

The green grass beside the river reminds me of the long journey!

The cypress trees planted around me had a thick and distant spicy smell that made people dizzy. My mind was spinning, and a strange idea suddenly came to my mind. If... if, Mianmian didn't die so early, or she would one day become

Daddy's concubine, maybe one day she will suddenly be superior to her mother because of daddy's favor, or she will be righted again. Then, am I still the distinguished eldest daughter of the Zhen family? Maybe today, I want to be with Huan

Bi has changed a lot. Thinking of this, I glanced at Huan Bi unconsciously, and forced myself to swallow a mouthful of saliva to calm down, but cold sweat broke out on my vest.

Concubine Shu Gui's soft voice came to her ears, "Dad? Your name is Zhen Yuandao, daddy?" She thought for a moment and said clearly: "Yes. How could Mianmian's child not be Zhen Yuandao's? Because your mother is

After he committed a crime, you naturally cannot be recognized as his daughter. So if you call your sister Miss, she will treat you like a sister, right?"

Huanbi nodded and wiped her tears and said, "Miss, she really treats me very well."

Concubine Shu Gui nodded repeatedly and said: "Mianmian's nickname was Bizhu'er in the past. Your father named you Huanbi for this reason."

Xuanqing was quite surprised. He looked at me, then at Huanbi, and finally his eyes rested on our eyes and said, "No wonder your eyes are so similar. It turns out you are half-sisters. Once upon a time, for the first time, I

When I met Huanbi and heard that she was your close maid, I just thought that since you were young, you grew up together and got along day and night, so that's why you even have such similar eyes."

Huanbi looked up at him, smiled sadly, and said: "Although the young lady and I have the same father, my mother is not even a concubine. I am just... an illegitimate daughter."

I never knew there were so many entanglements between Huanbi's mother and father, and my father never told me about it. I was the only one who knew that Huanbi was my sister. Even my mother never knew about this.

I just thought that Huanbi and Liuzhu were just girls brought back from outside.

I pity Huanbi even more in my heart. If it weren't for Mianmian's background, Huanbi must have been the delicate and reserved second lady of the Zhen family in the past. She was originally one year younger than me.

.

Xuan Qing pulled her up and comforted her with kind words: "There is no such thing as illegitimacy or illegitimacy. In our hearts, we will never think so."

Huanbi wrung her hands, lowered her head and bit her lip, murmuring: "Now... you all know..." She suddenly raised her head, her beautiful green eyes filled with tears, and suddenly cried, "Now... you all know..."

Prince, don’t look down on me.”

Xuanqing was stunned for a moment, looked at me, and then said softly to Huanbi: "Of course not, your mother and my mother and concubine are old friends, and they are the same tribe. We both have the blood of the Baiyi people, and I

How could I look down on you?"

The light in Huanbi's eyes became brighter and brighter, as if she didn't believe it, she asked: "Are you serious?"

Xuan Qing said with a smile: "Of course I take it seriously. How often have I lied to you."

Huanbi nodded vigorously, and Lidou gradually smiled as intoxicated as the spring breeze, and lowered her head. I was suddenly surprised, and I felt that her face at this moment was as beautiful as lilac condensation, or gemstones. I actually

She had never realized that Huanbi could be so beautiful. But when she saw Xuanqing softly comforting her, she seemed to be watching from a distance, as if she were far away, separated by several layers of veil. This was beyond her reach.

.A sense of insipid loneliness and loneliness arose in my heart.

I tried my best to turn my head not to look at them, and only said to Concubine Shu Gui: "Daddy, should you get to know Mianmian first... Aunt He, or should you get to know my mother first?"

Concubine Shu Gui said sadly: "Fate does not come first. Mianmian and Zhen Yuandao only met after Zhen Yuandao got married. Madam Zhen must also know that your father and your mother never met before they got married.

It is impossible to say that they are acquaintances. They entered into a marriage contract, but it was probably just a matter of Han officials relying on the orders of their parents and the words of matchmakers."

My face felt slightly feverish and I whispered, "Yes."

"Then your Han family is not like us who are monogamous and can take concubines, right?" I nodded again, and the concubine said: "Although we got to know each other later, your father doesn't want to marry Mianmian as his concubine and stay together forever.

Well. It’s just that Mian Mian’s life is pitiful and his family suddenly offended, so he lost the chance to be with your father.”

"Don't you think, Concubine, that my mother is also very pitiful?" I smiled in confusion, facing Concubine Shu Gui's eyes and said: "My mother, she has been my father's wife all her life, but she never knew that he liked her in his heart.

It has always been another woman. Although my father could not give Aunt He a title, because of his debt, because of his longing, and because of Huanbi, my father must always miss his aunt in his heart. Compared with my mother, I don’t know who she is.

Even more pitiable."

Xuan Qing turned back to stare at me, his eyes wandering, and I lowered my head in silence. Concubine Shu Gui was silent for a long time, and her eyes gradually became loving when she looked at me, and she sighed: "There are always countless poor people in this world."

I thanked Shenfu Yifu and said: "What the concubine said is absolutely true. My aunt passed away many years ago, and my father and mother were also sent to the far north of Sichuan. The dead are already dead, and the only ones we can take care of are the living. Huanbi is my sister.

, even if I am in such a desperate situation today, I will not let her ignore it. There is something I cannot do, so I can only do my best to ask the concubine and the prince for help. "

Concubine Shu Gui said: "Please tell me and listen."

I said eloquently: "Huanbi is not young, and I don't want her life to be delayed because of me. Please let the concubine make the decision and choose a good family for Huanbi to marry. That's why my aunt ended up with something."

That’s my wish.”

Concubine Shu Gui said with a smile: "As a sister, you are indeed a good child who has thoughtful plans for my sister. I never thought you had such a heart." She said with a smile and said to Xuan Qing: "Qing'er, my mother and concubine are naturally asking for it here.

Now that I am clean, I cannot interfere in such things. Huanbi is the orphan of my old friend and the sister of the person you want to protect. My mother-in-law has entrusted this matter to you. You must do it for Huanbi.

Bi is looking for a good family."

Xuan Qing smiled softly, just like the mist in the sky, "My son will definitely remember the mother and concubine's instructions."
