Concubine Mingxuan planned this, so the maid quickly retreated and secretly found an opportunity to tell Qingya the news.
Qingya, on the other hand, was taking a nap in the flower garden, recalling the scene when she had just met Wanyan Yong, so she sat alone on the porch and looked at the bleak autumn scene beside the waterside pavilion outside.
Now that she was Wan Yanyong's wife, her wedding was scheduled for next month. Suddenly, she was turned from a girl to a wife. This was a difficult hurdle in her heart, which made her feel empty and fearful.
When she raised her head, she saw Cui He coming with her hands clasped. She kept looking at the ground without raising her head.
After Qingya looked at it, she lightly picked up the silk and came forward and said, "He'er? Didn't you buy some snacks for me? Why did you come back empty-handed!"
"Oh, girl, the shop at the entrance of the bridge has sold out all the crispy pork, and I haven't seen the old man selling biscuits on a pole today!" She lowered her head to dodge something.
It is said that she went out with a maid today and was carefully selecting various snacks in front of the shop. When she turned around inadvertently, she saw King Qi's carriage, so she intentionally went forward to pay homage to King Qi, but as soon as she got closer, she saw the wind blowing. The car curtain came up, and a pair of slender white hands were placed on the car window. On the middle finger was a jade dragon head of excellent quality. The jade was as green as spring water and as clear as spring water. It stung her eyes under the bright light, and she continued to Without even buying any pastries, he ran back with the maid.
"Why do I look at you as if you have been frightened? He'er, what's wrong with you? Your little face is livid," she flicked her green cheek.
"I was walking so fast just now and it was freezing. It's getting cold again!"
Qingya looked at the sky from a distance, and saw that the sky was covered with gray. There were dark clouds above her head, as if a storm was about to come.
When the breeze passed, she folded her sleeves and shuddered, saying, "Okay, let's go home! It seems like it's going to rain today. I can't help but feel cold these days... even when I'm young."
After that, the master and servant walked away along the corridor one after the other.
"I don't know what happened to the king after he came back. I have been rejecting him these days. He must be very sad!" She carried the square of mandarin duck silk as she walked, and then raised her hand to look at the seven-treasure necklace and silver bell on her wrist. As her steps swayed, the crisp and melodious sound of chimes still accompanied her.
"Maybe!" Cui He said.
"But now I'm in a dilemma... I have to do this. Rather than suffering the pain alone, I don't want to see him being manipulated at will by His Majesty anymore!"
She was choked with sobs and could not speak. Cui He listened behind and said nothing.
She felt a faint pain in her lower abdomen, so she put her hand on Cui He's arm, and walked slowly with her support. After walking for a while, light rain began to fall from the sky, and light thunder gradually came from the surrounding black clouds, accompanied by There were a few bursts of lightning.
Passing by the Guiting Pavilion, I saw two little maids with their backs to the pavilion, busy covering a garden of lilacs with light cloths. They were chatting about interesting things at home. Qingya didn't care after seeing it, and walked straight over.
"Hey! I just told you a strange thing. My cousin is really pitiful. She was kept in the dark like this..." Occasionally, one of them had a louder voice, but Qingya didn't stop after hearing it. She stood in the flower garden. Then listen to her.
Another maid replied: "What's wrong? Is there anything related to my cousin?"
"Today, when my sister and I were walking back home, we saw King Qi's horse passing through the neighborhood. I paid more attention and guess what?"
"What's wrong?"
"Me! I saw a woman sitting in the carriage. The woman was wearing a jade dragon head ring on her hand!"
The other maid pretended to be surprised and quickly covered the other person's mouth and said, "Please keep your voice lower. You must have misunderstood. Only the empress of the palace will wear the jade dragon head..."
"I'm not mistaken, it is indeed a jade dragon head, the same rose as the empress of Zhonggong. In the spring, I went with the empress to go hunting and feasting in the mountains. I was lucky enough to meet Zhonggong, and she was wearing the rose jade dragon head!"
The little maid hurriedly said "Shh" again and lowered her voice: "Then you mean that King Qi has an affair with Zhonggong?"
"I have inquired about the news. His Highness Prince Qi has been involved in the middle palace for several years... How else can I say that my cousin is pitiful. She has admired Prince Qi and looked forward to him day and night for three or four months in a row, but she has been looking forward to him.
..."
The two of them were whispering, and suddenly there was a burst of thunder in the distance. Qingya seemed to be frightened by the thunder, and turned back suddenly, shaking her forehead with tassels that felt a pain on her cheeks. There were clouds flowing in the distance, and her eyebrows With her hair flying, she stood upright in front of the lilac flower bed and scolded them both with a hint of sadness: "What nonsense are you two talking about?"
When the two girls turned around to see her, they were immediately frightened out of their wits. They knelt down and bowed: "Girl, girl."
"Let me ask you, are you telling the truth?" Her eyes gradually became bloodshot.
"Slave... I really saw it with my own eyes!"
After Cui He heard this, she slowly put down Qing Ya's hand. She noticed it and turned to look at her, her face flushed.
"He'er, you saw it too, so you came back with a livid face, right?"
"girl!"
"Tell me the truth!" She was anxiously waiting for her answer.
"Speak!" She put her hands on her shoulders with tears in her eyes.
Cuihe waited for a long time, then calmly faced her and said, "Yes, miss, I have seen you too. King Qi's carriage is carrying the Zhonggong Palace to the south of the city!"
But she had never seen it with her own eyes, so how could she believe such words? After hearing these words, she also hinted in her heart that it was definitely not the truth.
"No, he won't do that!"
"Girl, if you don't believe it... then go there yourself..."
As soon as she finished speaking, she supported her tired body and ran along the corridor. The hairpin and fringe in her hair made her cheeks blush, but she didn't even notice. At that time, there was thunder and lightning outside the corridor, and she was a little scared, but she still moved forward, lifting the pleats of her dress to make it easier for it to fly among the flowers.
Cui He followed her and called: "Girl, put on your curtain hat!"
She rode her horse alone through the poplar forest in the south of the city. The white horse flew by like the wind, sweeping down the rustling yellow leaves on the side. She lifted the horse together, holding the reins, and drove the horse across the bends and streams in the field. At this time, a sudden rain came from the sky, and the white light of lightning reflected on her body. Cuihe was so frightened by the thunder that she huddled together and fell behind a lot.
She tossed and turned for a long time, and saw a lake pavilion from a distance that was guarded by people and horses. When she looked closer, she saw that it was Kai Shili who was leading a team of people to guard the small wooden bridge. She waved her hand and took off her hat, dismounted her horse and approached, and Kai Shili met him. Her face turned livid, and she bowed her head in panic: "Girl, why are you here? Your Highness and several adults are here..."
"Get out of the way," she interrupted him with tears in her eyes.
"Girl, you can't go in, I'm sorry for being rude!"
She pulled out the sword from his waist with one hand and put it on his neck. He did not waver at all and still bowed in front of her.
She put the sword edge on her neck again and stabbed down, and he immediately bowed his head: "Girl, no!"
After a while, the guards dispersed to let her go, and she ran towards the Huting hut like crazy. At this time, the red candles in the room were swaying, and it was extremely warm. There were three people playing in the green gauze tent, and the frivolous words coming out one after another were really disgusting. Just as the mandarin ducks were playing with the fish pattern quilt, there were two disheveled women - Tangtang The Queen of the Central Palace and Tang Kuo Dingge, the wife of Wanyan Wudai, the Minister of Dali Temple.
This Tang Kuodingge student is so pretty, with a plump and plump figure, and is more blessed than the Queen's. Her face is like a silver basin, and her pearls are round and round. If you say she is better than Concubine Yang, she is even comparable. She is the wife of Wanyan Wudai, a close minister of Wanyan Liang. Wanyan Liang had an affair with her many years ago. Now Wudai went to Xijing to inspect and left his wife and daughter in the capital. The two of them were even more unscrupulous in their incest. . ..
It was the tall and tall Wan Yanliang, holding one person on each hand, saying shameless words and doing obscene things, completely forgetting the pain of losing his lover a few days ago.
"Your Majesty, don't worry! Wudai is loyal to you and will definitely help you ascend to the throne!" Ding Ge approached him.
"Well! Just keep an eye on him, and when the lonely king ascends the throne, he will make you a noble concubine!"
"Okay! Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"How about the imperial sister-in-law or the middle palace?"
The queen sneered slightly, her eyes turned red and she said softly: "You should deal with the emperor first!"
"That's it, the lonely king will make him even more isolated and helpless!"
As he spoke, he began to act wantonly again
As a result, the three people in the tent were secretly living alone. King Qi was involved in two married women. There was constant sound of play and ambiguity.
Just when his blood was boiling, he suddenly heard a familiar and crisp sound of a bell. He immediately frowned, pointed at it and said "Shhh", then opened the gauze curtain and saw the woman who was soaked all over.
When she saw that he was having an affair with two people, they were disheveled, sweating profusely, and doing shameful things, she was immediately stunned. There were two lines of cold tears under her eyes, and her heart was like a sword piercing her, and her heart was as gray as death. General staggered a few steps in place.
King Qi was shocked. He immediately lifted up his dirty clothes and raised the green gauze curtain, and walked in: "Qingya, it's not what you think, King Gu..."
Before he could get close to her, she cried bitterly and ran out. When she left, she didn't look back. The cool rain outside soaked her dress and hair completely. Her figure swaying in the rain was as weak as a willow tree. posture.
At that moment, she really felt that she had nothing left, and Gu Ying was just feeling sorry for herself.
She was wearing it diagonally in the pouring rain. The hem of her orchid dress had long been waded through the mud and was torn to pieces by the sharp stones on the road.
"It was just wishful thinking on my part! I was overthinking it!" she said as she walked away, wiping her red eyes with her soaked sleeves.
The road was muddy and winding, and she climbed up the former hill through the jungle in the cool rain. At that time, the scenery was gone, and only the yellow eyes under the ice and rain were left. She sat on the hill, recalling what Wan Yanliang had said to her, and every word stuck in her heart.
It was raining heavily at that time, and the rain splashed mud on the grass, splashing on her face. She didn't seem to care about her miserable appearance, her hair blown away by the strong wind, and her cheeks that were scratched along the way. Pulling up her sleeves to look at the jade pendant he had given her, she held it in her muddy hands and let it shine in the rain.
