719 Chapter 719 We should go back(1/2)
When Yuer heard what he said, she was also confused: "Ah? What words?"
"that is--"
"Young Master!" I lay on the bed, unable to listen anymore, and my face changed so anxious that I interrupted him. Pei Yuanxiu looked down at me. Through the white veil, he obviously could not see my embarrassed expression. But for some reason, he looked at the smile on the corner of his lips slightly curled up, as if he knew everything.
He asked me with a smile: "What's the matter?"
I coughed lightly and said, "You are tired too, you should have a good rest."
"oh……"
"I, Yu'er and I have met again after a long separation..."
"I know, you must have a lot of private words to say, right?"
I nodded quickly, but when I saw his eyes bent in a smile, I thought about the meaning of the "private words", I was almost ignited. Yuer stood beside me and didn't dare to speak. Yao Lao coughed, and walked out with his hands behind his back while shaking his head.
Pei Yuanxiu smiled at me again, turned around and walked out.
The door was covered with silence. Although there were servants guarding outside, the room calmed down. I then breathed a sigh of relief and raised my head to let Yuer sit, but saw her looking at the door thoughtfully.
I said softly, "Yuer, what are you thinking?"
She turned around and looked at me, then looked at the door, then sat on the edge of the bed, and whispered: "How could you be with Madam---with him? He wasn't--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Of course I know what she was asking. After the battle for the throne, the world changed its rulers and Pei Yuanxiu disappeared for three years. Even though the war in Dongzhou was towering, I don’t think many people knew that he was the one who stood behind the war. Until now, he became the overlord of Jiangnan. The upheaval of this period was not something Yuer could imagine.
I can only tell her in one sentence: "It's hard to describe it."
She listened, a little confused, but also understood: "Yes."
After saying that, he hurriedly looked at me and said, "What about you? What's wrong with you? Back then, I was waiting for you to come out at the palace gate, but I actually saw the third one - I saw the emperor arrest you, what happened to you? Have you been in the palace for the past few years?"
Her questioning like a cannon was actually just an unintentional concern, but when it comes to speaking, every sentence poked my old wounds.
However, today, I seem to be able to face those memories in a little calmer manner. I lowered my head and thought about it, but still answered her: "It's hard to describe it."
"ah……"
Seeing that she seemed to be dissatisfied with me like this "perfunctory", I said softly: "I have been staying in the palace a few years ago, um - I have been a talented person."
"ah?"
"But it was ruined."
"ah?"
"I gave birth to a daughter for the emperor."
"ah?"
"My daughter is now here--People Pei."
"ah?"
Every time I said something, Yuer said "ah", and then she opened her eyes wider. Speaking of which, she was also a person in her twenties and almost thirty years old. Her personality had not changed at all, and she was still like a child. I held back my laughter and stretched out my fingers to pinch her wide lips: "Ah what."
She closed her mouth and looked at me with a complicated and entangled expression. After a while, she reluctantly said: "Qingying, what life have you lived over the years?"
I smiled.
She shook her head, and was still a little overwhelmed: "No wonder I saw the government posting a portrait of you, which scared me."
I smiled and said, "What about you? How did you live your years?"
Yu'er said: "I have been waiting for you to leave the palace, but when I saw you being arrested, I waited outside for two days. When I asked for the news, no one told me. I had no choice but to leave the capital. Later, I came to Jinling and worked as a girl in a big family."
She had no father or mother, and she had no other place to go after leaving the palace. We had agreed to leave the palace together before, but I was forced to stay, so she could only go out alone to explore.
"I did a good job. Later, the twenty or so girls in that family would listen to me."
Looking at her proud look, I laughed and asked, "Then why did you come to Yangzhou?"
When she heard this, her face darkened: "The master of that family... always touched me. Two years ago, his wife became even more unscrupulous and wanted me to be a little wife. I refused to do it, so I took the opportunity to escape."
She said, still a little angry: "I am in my fifties and I am so lustful. Why do you say that I am not young anymore? No one wants to let it go and match the boy. Humph, I don't believe it."
Looking at her stubborn appearance, I think she has suffered a lot in the past two years, but I didn't expect that she would still be like this and refused to give up. I remember that the day before she was about to leave the palace, she once told me that she wanted to marry a businessman, a large mansion, a garden, and a puppy. Speaking of which, perhaps these lives are just a short distance away from her, but she decided to give up.
Because, among all this, the only person is not what she wants.
Speaking of which, a woman is marrying a "person", but she has never heard of marrying a house and marrying a wealthy family.
I just admire it.
When she heard me mention these words with a smile, she blushed a little and carefully pinched my hand: "Where are you? I used to say you were not happy, but now it's not--"
I smiled: "I married a fisherman."
"--ah?!"
This sound was louder than before, Yuer was so shocked that her eyes widened and she looked at me blankly: "Fisherman? Then he-he-"
She said, looking out the door, where there were servants serving outside the door, but there was no sound. I said in a calm tone: "It's not him. I got married outside the palace a few years ago."
"Then, where is your husband?"
A rift appeared on the calm expression on my face.
The bitterness that had been suppressing in my chest suddenly surged up at this time, and my eyes suddenly turned red. I choked for a while, smiled bitterly and shook my head gently: "He is not by my side."
Yuer said in disbelief this time, "You actually married a fisherman."
Yes, on the eve of leaving the palace, when I joked with her, I once joked that I would marry a fisherman in the future because I like to eat fish (Yu).
Unexpectedly, one word becomes a proverb!
.
Yuer and I had a good relationship in the palace in the past. This time we met again after a long separation. Although we have experienced a lot, our relationship has not changed.
But there are still some changes.
We talked for a while, and I could see that she was very happy to meet again, caring about me, and asking me a lot of things, but every time I asked her how she was doing now, she stammered.
After two times, I noticed the dodging gaze in her eyes.
If it were someone else, I might be wary of it, but Yuer - I don't want to be wary of a sister who has been with me for many years. Besides, her concern for me is not fake, but just that crappy dodge and perfunctory is not like what she would have done in the past.
When it was time to have a meal, she smiled and patted my hand: "I'm leaving."
I was stunned: "You are leaving?"
"Of course, I'm here this time just to see it. I'll feel relieved when I know you're fine."
I said softly: "Yuer, you really..."
She smiled at me again, and that smile was still perfunctory.
I thought about it and said, "Well. Now I just detoxified, and I can't get along well with you. I will wait until the future, let's have a good chat."
After hearing this, she immediately said, "Are you still here?"
I looked up at her and saw her dodging again: "Uh, it's really not easy to come here."
I smiled at her.
.
Yu'er stayed for a while, then went out and said goodbye and left. I heard a servant going to see her off. After a while, Pei Yuanxiu pushed the door and came in.
Because my face was covered with a layer of white veil, my expressions were blurred when I looked at people from afar, but because of this layer of veil, I vaguely felt that he seemed to be smiling all the time, smiling more gentle than any dream.
He walked to the bed and lowered his head and said, "Are you tired after talking for so long?"
I nodded.
"Then do you want to rest?"
I shook my head: "Ping'er, is he better?"
These two days I have only cared about my detoxification, and I can't take care of this child. After experiencing such a big change, where will he go? I have been wandering on the verge of life and death these two days, and I can't worry about it, but now I can't help thinking about it.
Pei Yuanxiu heard this and seemed to frown slightly: "Why are you always--"
I looked at him calmly.
After looking at each other for a moment, he seemed to understand something again. He didn't want to ask anymore, but just chuckled and said, "You!"
After a while, he found Ping'er.
Some accident, or maybe it wasn't an accident, the child did not cry anymore, but his eyes were red, and he seemed to have not slept for a long time. He had a deep breath on his body, and he didn't talk much, and he no longer had a smile.
When he saw me, he just said, "Aunt Qing, are you in good health?"
"Yeah." I nodded, and sat down on the edge of the bed as much as possible, trying to hold him in my arms, but he seemed to have grown up a lot overnight. I reached out to grab him again, and it seemed that what I caught was not a boy, but a man.
So, I didn't hug him, but just said, "Gu Ping, you stand up, you are braver than Aunt Qing."
His pale little face was slightly moved, and he raised his head to look at me.
"Aunt Qing doesn't want to control your future life, but Aunt Qing also wants to know what you planned?"
He thought for a while and said, "I want to go to Jinling to join the army."
