When Mingxuan opened the door and walked in, Wanyanyong had already arranged his clothes and sat on the chair beside him, while Qingya was lying on the corner of the couch with her hair scattered, her red feet and arms and wrists exposed. , the messy clothes were entangled with silk, she was like a destroyed flower, alone in the mud with no one paying attention.
Seeing this, Mingxuan let out a long sigh, opened the curtain and went out. After calming down for a while, she came back, found a blanket and put it on her, and called the maids Xiyi and Xiangxiang to come in and serve her.
Mingxuan buried her head in his chest. From a close distance, she saw the traces of tears on her red makeup. It was at this moment that she was wearing a thin sweat on her clothes, the fragrance was rich, her frosty pink cheeks were gently pressed, her dark cheeks were The silk twines around the eyes, causing a woman to feel love and pity even after looking at them.
So she patted her gently and asked, "Qingya, okay! okay!"
Somehow, Qingya didn't lose her temper as usual, but instead stared at something silently, looking at the embroidered patterns on the Chinese clothes with a vague gaze.
After a long time, Wan Yanyong looked back at her with red eyes. He slowly raised his hand and pointed to the desk and said, "Xiyi, go and take out the umbrella from the painting basket and throw it into the furnace!"
Xiyi knelt down in fear and said: "Your Majesty!"
He answered in a stern tone: "Why, you don't even listen to the lonely king? Are there any rules in this palace?"
"Your Majesty, please calm down! Calm down!"
Seeing this, Mingxuan patted Qingya on the back and stayed silent for a long time before advising: "Your Majesty, don't get angry! Let the past be forgotten. Whoever does not make mistakes when he is young, Qingya will definitely change in the future." of?"
Wan Yanyong stood up, looked at the makeup box filled with all kinds of jewelry and hairpins with his hands behind his back, took a deep breath, and then looked back at the fragile woman.
A firm tone - "Li Qingya, you have been in the government for four years, how has the lonely king treated you? From your status and wealth to the small things, how has the lonely king not satisfied you?"
"I treat you with all my heart, but in the end, you still think about others. For four years, you lied to the lonely king in order not to get pregnant. You said it was a tonic and you drank it every night because you didn't want to have a child with me."
"Are you too smart, or is the lonely king too stupid? Are you deceiving me?"
Mingxuan became more and more excited when she saw the way he spoke, and quickly added: "Your Majesty, Qingya..."
"Concubine, you don't need to persuade me. Your prime minister must have known about this for a long time, but he was just hiding it from me! In this case..."
"Since ancient times, there has always been the virtue of "beauty of adults". Since your heart is not with the lonely king, but your heart is with others, the lonely king will also make it happen. Soon, the lonely king will draw up a letter of peace and leave, and give you your freedom! "
"The lonely king does not need to discuss this matter with anyone, and there is no need to dissuade my uncle and uncle. The lonely king has made up his mind to make peace with you."
Qingya kept her eyes fixed and remained silent for a long time before replying: "Okay, the king is leaving, and it is inconvenient for me to stay for a long time..."
She got off the Arhat's bed, stumbled and walked in front of him, bowed and kowtowed again and again:
"It is very cold in winter and it is inconvenient to travel, so I look for a day to move, and I pray again and again. I hope that after we leave, my husband will be in good health, and I hope that I will choose a daughter of a prostitute, with a weak water of three thousand, and that I will not have to suffer because of my concubine."
May your Majesty the Queen be in peace forever. The man will come riding a bamboo horse and go around the bed to pick green plums. Don’t forget the youth and love, and don’t forget the love between husband and wife.
My final wish before bidding farewell is that after my husband and I part ways, we will have a bright future, and we will walk smoothly in the Qingyun Golden Palace. Our children will be happy in front of our knees, and we will resolve our grievances, and let alone hate each other. I will live happily with my husband and concubine. "
When she spoke, her rosy face was tucked into her black hair, and her tone was so firm and cold. He sat on the chair and looked at her posture, listening to the gentle voice coming from her cherry-like lips. It's like the singing of orioles, but it's like a big rock falling from the sky.
Wan Yanyong couldn't bear it anymore, the tears in the corner of his eyes couldn't stop falling and he gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, Mrs. Li, since you request so, then the lonely king will grant your wish!"
When he spoke, his voice was low. When he saw that she didn't make any sound, he waved his sleeves and walked away, walking briskly and freely.
For some reason, Wanyanyong got very angry this time and acted more decisively. He rewarded the imperial doctor who was serving Qingya and the doctor from the medicine shop outside with thirty sticks each. The personal maids including Xiyi, Xiangxiang, and the newly promoted servant girl were very satisfied. They were all punished for cleaning the back yard, even the imperial concubine
Mingxuan was implicated for this and was left out by Wanyanyong.
She chose a sunny day to move out of the house, which was the twenty-fourth of the first lunar month. On this day, she got up early and ordered her servants to simply pack their luggage. The master and servant only had five packages, large and small, and the rest of the fine clothes She didn't take away any of her clothes or her emerald hairpin.
When she left, she tidied up the room neatly. The mandarin duck mattress was laid quietly on the couch without any wrinkles. She also casually wore a quilted narrow-sleeved dress and did a side bun. .
When she reached the door, she didn't look back.
A horseman drove up and bowed: "Madam, the slave was sent by the Prime Minister. My husband said that I would take my wife to the other courtyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion and put her there. Someone has been sent to clean the place and there are servants. My husband also said that he will be treated well." After you’re done with the political affairs, come and see my wife!”
She stood in the north wind, her hair being messy, and smiled: "Today, I won't bother my uncle anymore. My eldest brother said that he has a secluded courtyard at the foot of Yuanhong Temple, and he has already sent people to attack it. It was arranged for me to live there. The scenery there is beautiful and clean, and I won’t be disturbed by idle people, so I went to live there!”
"Thank my uncle for me! Tell him not to worry."
After laughing, she asked the maid to put her luggage on a simple horse, smiled at the waiter, and drove away.
All the way to the foot of Yuanhong Temple Mountain, the horse's legs were weak from running, and she fell asleep while driving. She only woke up when she heard the waiter shouting, and then got off the car and went to the courtyard.
The house is not big, as you can see when you enter the courtyard, but it is located in a secluded place. There is no market in front of the door. There is only a winding path to reach it. There are a few families scattered here and there, a few curls of smoke rising from the kitchen, and everything you see is the smell of fireworks.
There is a quiet atmosphere as soon as you enter the house. The house is not big, but it is fully furnished and all the utensils are neat and clean.
She walked around inside and outside the house, looked at the slightly withered reed bamboo and said with a smile, "This is the purity I long for!"
"Xiyi, please order two waiting people to guard the door. You don't have to disturb me while I'm waiting. I can just read and write!"
Xiyi nodded in reply, bowed and retreated, and immediately issued the order.
She also lived in this lonely garden, and said goodbye to the noise of the palace.
She spent the whole day writing and painting, and she also took care of the house herself, pruning the plum blossoms behind the house. From time to time, the master and servants would get together to read poems and drink tea together, and her life was comfortable.
Three or two days later, Jiagu Tantan brought his daughter to visit and brought her many items needed for the Spring Festival.
Jiagu Tantan and Kui Ke have a son and a daughter. The older boy is called Li Daoxu, and the toddler girl is called Li Binwei. Her nickname is Pengpeng. She took Pengpeng into her arms today.
"Your eldest brother said that he loved this girl the most, so he called her Binwei. "Binwei is the name for praising and worrying about travel, and she is subtle and smooth." Binwei means rich in literature, and Pengpeng means prosperous! "
When she said this, Tan Tan had already coaxed the little girl in her arms to fall asleep. Her small eyes were closed, and her cherry lips were pursed. Her posture looked very much like the lucky doll in the ancient painting, which was called Qingya and Reality. I couldn't help but want to squeeze her soft face.
"My uncle likes dolls so much, but is he so confused?"
Qing Ya was shocked: "Sister-in-law, does she know?"
"Yes! Your brother said it. The imperial concubine sent someone to tell your brother about you that day. After hearing this, he jumped out of bed and left. He went to the palace to pay homage to the king, and even had a little conflict with the king. Then, I ordered someone to take care of this courtyard for you to live in."
"I thought it was Xiyi who told her brother secretly!" She looked at Liang Xiyi who was standing aside, and Xiyi quickly put her head away.
Tantan suddenly regained her composure, lowered her head to think for a moment, took her hand, and said righteously: "Uncle, my sister-in-law has to say a word or two to you about this matter. I am your biological sister-in-law, and I am your general sister-in-law." You treat it as your own sister. If my sister-in-law says something unpleasant, I hope you won’t get angry!"
She stared at her belly and said: "Let's not talk about the things you concealed from the king. I have probably seen the recipe for this Bizizitang. Although it doesn't use much cooling medicine, you can drink it for a few more years. , just waiting to be unable to be a mother in this life!"
"I don't know where you got this recipe from.
It's the doctor in the shop outside. If he dares to prescribe this kind of harmful medicine to the dignified wife, he will be beheaded. "
"Are you really joking with your own life? Are you so confused? You are a well-informed and reasonable lady, but how can you do this for a man? It is too presumptuous."
As she said this, Qingya couldn't hold back her sadness anymore and started to feel sad. Seeing this, Tantan took away the hand on her: "Do you think I won't tell you that you are sad? You You are such a determined girl. You have been so tenacious since you were a child. Why are you so confused about the Holy Spirit? I don’t even know that you do things that are meaningless and hurt yourself and others. What can I say to you!"
"I tried to forget, but I can't forget..." She tucked her sleeves and turned her head away.
"You can't forget it, so you remember it as a memory. Why use the past to punish yourself now? You have a family now. You want to say that you were ignorant when you were married at the age of thirteen, but you should be sensible now! During this period, Pengpeng yawned, and Tantan softened her tone a little, and then pierced her outstretched hands back.
"People have to look forward so that life can go on. No matter how good the saint is, you should have your own perseverance. There are many people who love you and cherish you. Don't always focus on the warmth he once had. ah!"
"Your Majesty, it is true that you are at fault. You are still obsessed with his drunken misconduct, and that is why you have been apart from him for so many years. We all see this, but this matter is in the past.
If you think about it carefully, you will find that the king is also a very responsible man. He always maintains a kind heart towards his wives, concubines, children and elders. Even for the common people, he can deeply understand their sufferings. The important thing is that he prefers you. I wonder if such a man is not worthy of you letting go of past grudges? "
"Just listen to my sister-in-law's advice, don't mention the past and cherish the present!"
As she spoke, Qingya fell into deep thought, or had some thoughts on her sister-in-law's words. The silk in her hands was soaked with sweat, her drooping eyelashes and eyes were opening and closing like flower buds, and the posture of her head was bowed, as if It's a mountain weighing on my shoulders.
After a long time, Pengpeng suddenly woke up in the small rocking chair, twitched first, and then opened her eyes, then started to cry loudly. Seeing this, Tantan had to pick her up, pat and coax her.
"Pengpeng don't cry, don't cry, oh~"
While coaxing, he said to Qingya: "Uncle, sister-in-law can only advise you so far. You have your own mind on what is right and wrong!"
"Marriage requires two people to work together!"
"It's the Spring Festival soon, and you're all alone here. Your brother wanted you to spend it with us, but you insisted, so I had no choice but to send you some needed things and talk to you. , showing no indifference!"
"Thank you, sister-in-law, actually I don't lack anything here!"
"It's naturally lacking, I know."
At this point, Pengpeng cried harder and harder, and started to scratch with both hands. She caught Tantan's earrings, which caused her a burst of pain.
"Why do you have such a bad temper?" She spread her hands away.
When the waiting people saw this, they hurriedly went to bring Pengpeng over, and then fixed Tantan's clothes, makeup and hair.
"That's all, I'm going back. This little girl must be hungry. Sister, please rest. If you have anything to eat or wear, just ask someone to tell me and I'll go back!"
"Sister-in-law, sit down again!"
"No, I'll go back!"
Tantan took a few steps back, bowed and said, "Madam, I take my leave!"
After that, a dark-colored dress passed by the door and soon disappeared. Qingya still stood there in a daze.
