Zhang Guiren raised his head, the redness on his face receded a bit, but his eyes still looked as if he was drunk, like an idiot dreaming of spring and autumn dreams.
She held Ji Ling's hand and said very softly: "Sister, I know that I am wishful thinking, and I also know that he only has my sister in his heart. Even though she is married, pregnant, and has children, he still can't forget her!"
Ji Ling opened his mouth slightly, unable to speak.
Zhang Guiren sighed sadly and whispered: "Sister Ji, you don't know, I have been thinking about him for many years - his father is an old acquaintance of my family, and my grandmother and my mother's illnesses are all caused by him.
My father was under the care of the doctor, me, my sister, and Dr. Di. We had known each other very well since we were children, but later on, no one expected that as we grew older, he would actually fall in love with my sister..."
Zhang Guiren lowered his head, clenched his hands, and said in a low voice: "My father has always been careless, but he was very careful about this matter. He was the first to notice something was wrong. I remember one time, Doctor Di and his sister said in the corridor
After a few words, my father saw me. With a livid face, he went to the study with my sister several times, closing the door each time and talking for half an hour.
I secretly hid under the window and listened to them talking, and every time I could faintly hear my sister crying very sadly... Once my father found out, he got angry at me and punished me by kneeling in the yard for a day.
No eating allowed.
Alas, my grandmother was ill in bed and no one could save me. My mother felt sorry for me and asked her maid to secretly bring me cakes for fear that I would starve to death. As a result, my father became furious and gave my mother a severe lesson. I remember it very clearly.
That evening, it snowed, and I was very cold and shivering all the time..."
As she spoke, she trembled slightly, as if she had returned to that day again.
Ji Ling stretched out her hand to hold Zhang Guiren's hand and gently rubbed it for her.
Zhang Guiren whispered: "Later, it was time for the daughters of each family to participate in the draft. My sister and I also participated in the draft, but my sister played tricks and lost in the first round - I know my daughter Mo Ruofu, my sister
Even if you make a mistake with your appearance, you won't lose the selection in the first round.
My father only wanted his sister to advance in the palace so that he could become a dragon and a phoenix. Naturally, he knew that she was destroying her career for the sake of Imperial Doctor Xiao Di.
My father was furious and claimed that he just thought he didn't have this daughter - but everyone who saw my sister praised her appearance. After the draft, people came to propose marriage constantly. My father quickly cheered up and found a daughter for my sister.
Married to a noble family.
Ji Ling listened and felt that there was a faint link in the middle, so he asked in a low voice: "After your sister failed to be selected in the draft, she has been waiting at home until this marriage happened?"
Zhang Guiren's tone was stagnant for a moment, and he said slowly: "My sister is crying at home every day, not thinking about food and tea, she is losing weight day by day, and she doesn't want to get married because of this.
Dr. Di came to my door twice to propose marriage, but was turned away by my father each time. My father wanted to get a good marriage, and he hated him even more for choosing my sister and inducing such a good daughter to end her career even in the draft.
...My father was sarcastic and insulting to Doctor Di. I really couldn't stand it, so I knelt down and begged for help. My father became furious and declared that he had already lost one daughter, and it would be okay to lose another one.
Seeing that my father had said everything, I didn't dare to say more, and then I entered the palace. Doctor Di was grateful that I had helped him with his sister's matter, and together with the friendship we had when we played together when we were children, now we are here
Naturally, the palace treats me differently."
When Zhang Guiren said this, he looked at Ji Ling and said softly: "Sister, when you were still a nobleman, I told Doctor Di that Sister Ji is very good to me, and I asked him to take good care of Sister Ji. He
Should I be extra devoted to you?"
Ji Ling nodded, and saw that every time Zhang Guiren said the three words "Mr. Di", his eyes were misty, and there was a gentle smile in the corners of his eyebrows. He looked no different from a pregnant girl - she had never had this before.
figure it out.
It's so slow.
She held Zhang Guiren's shoulders and whispered: "You never told me these things before, and I didn't know the cause and effect. Now it's all sorted out, but you must not have such fantasies anymore."
Gillington paused and said, "Please wake up!"
Zhang Guiren gave a bitter smile and said softly: "Sister Ji, why don't I want to wake up? In the past, when I noticed that his eyes looking at my sister were getting softer and gentler, and his words became softer and softer, I really wanted to wake up.
."
She crawled into Ji Ling's arms in pain, Ji Ling put his arms around her, and heard Zhang Guiren muffled on her shoulder, whispering: "Doctor Di is also very good to you, Sister Ji?"
Ji Ling nodded: "Mr. Di is indeed very good and does his duty well."
Zhang Guiren smiled bitterly and said: "A doctor has a parental heart. He is such a person. It is difficult for people to disrespect him - my father is confused."
Ji Ling picked up the handkerchief beside the pillow, wiped Zhang Guiren's tears, thought about it again, and now she understood everything, and said in a low voice: "No wonder your emperor is celebrating your birthday. I looked at your gift without thinking at all.
I never bother to dress up for big banquets on weekdays."
Zhang Guiren said slowly: "Your Majesty? In this Forbidden City, the only warmth I feel is you, sister. My only hope is to see Imperial Physician Di. Other than that, I have no other thoughts."
Ji Ling stroked Zhang Guiren's hair very slowly, took a breath for a while, and said in a low voice: "Shengjian, you have so many twists and turns in your heart, does he know your thoughts?"
Zhang Guiren shook his head.
Ji Ling took a breath and whispered: "Fortunately! Put this thought away quickly! From now on, from now on, you can't think about it again - you are the one who entered the palace, if you still have this
If you have the same thoughts, it will be like walking on the edge of an abyss. If you make a wrong step, you will be doomed."
Zhang Guiren lowered his head and said nothing for a long time.
Suddenly the third princess woke up, and there was a babbling sound. Ji Ling let go of Zhang Guiren's hand, patted her back and said, "I'm going to see Xi'er."
She walked a few steps, paused again, turned back to Zhang Guiren and said, "You should come and take a look too."
She deliberately wanted to distract Shengjian.
People are like this sometimes. The more they are immersed in their own emotions and their own little world, the easier it is to get into trouble and get deeper and deeper in the end.
The third princess began to practice turning over on the crib, turning over one after another, practicing this movement diligently and seriously, and was very happy.
She opened her round eyes and looked at Zhang Guiren, very curious.
Zhang Guiren looked at it and couldn't help but stretched out his hand to hug the third princess. He suddenly hesitated, then withdrew his hand and said to Ji Ling: "I don't know how to hold a child."
As she said this, the third princess looked at Zhang Guiren intently and smiled at her.
"Xi'er likes you." Ji Ling said.
Zhang Guiren hadn't spoken yet, but he heard Xiao Yangzi kneeling in front of the hall and announcing that Imperial Doctor Di had come to ask for a safe pulse for Concubine Chen.
Ji Ling raised his eyebrows and turned to look at Shengjian. Sure enough, he saw that the color on Zhang Guiren's face had completely faded away.
