Cuizhi, who was shocked by this turn of events, couldn't help but widen her eyes slightly. She hurriedly stepped forward and stretched out her arms to support Niu Hulu, who was still unsteady. After she straightened her master's body, she couldn't wait to squat down.
I wanted to check Niu Hulu's ankle.
Although she knew that in the current situation, such an approach seemed a bit rude, but in her mind, the safety of her little master was the most important thing.
The flowerpot-soled shoes are so high. If the foot sprains on the eve of the Longevity Festival, wouldn’t the young master’s previous efforts be in vain? And with this broken muscle and bone for a hundred days, wouldn’t the young master be unable to serve the emperor?
Niu Hulu looked at the handsome man with a tall figure and a temperament like orchid and bamboo in front of her. Her heart was beating wildly. She never expected to meet him here.
She tried her best to steady her mind and turned slightly to stop Cuizhi from trying to gently knead her ankles. The soft and white earlobes wearing beautiful drop-shaped jasper earrings were already stained with a light pink. She lowered her head
He gently turned his head and said to Cuizhi: "I'm fine. You should stand up first."
Cuizhi raised her head and met Niu Hulu's eyes, and couldn't help but be stunned.
Why is the master's demeanor so wrong? This is the first time she has seen such obvious panic in the eyes of the master who has always been steady and polite.
Before she had time to think about it, Cuizhi took a closer look and saw that her master was indeed able to walk, which meant that he was not injured, and she felt completely relieved in her heart.
No matter what in the future, she would not dare to let her master walk in front alone. It would be more reliable for him to be firmly supported by her!
Seeing the beautiful and well-mannered woman in front of him, who was obviously dressed like a palace concubine, Nalan Xingde couldn't help but have a headache. He really didn't expect that such a situation would happen.
As soon as he walked to a place about one meter away from Yuehua Gate, he heard two young eunuchs outside Yuehua Gate shouting: "Greetings, my little master."
When he knew that a palace concubine was coming, Nalan Xingde was ready to avoid it, but before he could turn around, the next second the woman who hurriedly entered outside the door slipped and fell directly into his arms.
Seeing the woman's obviously flustered look, Nalan Xingde knew that he, the foreign minister, might have frightened the young master, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and bend down deeply to salute the visitor: "
I apologize to you, my mistress, but it’s all my fault that my servant acted recklessly and shocked my mistress.”
Hearing Nalan Xingde's words of calmness and self-possession, as if he were a stranger, the blush on Niu Hulu's face instantly faded and turned pale.
Liang Jiugong, who was following a few meters behind, was also shocked when he saw the scene in front of him. Master Bilong's first direct descendant, Jin Jueluo, and Master Nalan's mother-in-law were both the daughters of Prince Azige, Niu Hulu.
Although the concubine is said to be the daughter of the concubine Shu Shujueluo, she can still be regarded as Young Master Nalan's cousin.
Unless there are special circumstances, the concubines in this palace cannot meet with foreign ministers at all, let alone have any physical contact with foreign ministers!
Seeing that Nalan Xingde's handsome face was red with shame and he obviously didn't recognize Concubine Niu Hulu, and Niu Hulu's face was pale with "fright", both of them were highly regarded by the emperor.
People, you must not let any news come out under the noses of so many slaves!
Thinking of this, Liang Jiugong hurriedly stepped forward and stood between the two of them, shaking the dust in his hands to separate them. He laughed and said, "These damn sweeping servants are always lazy. Look here, there is dust everywhere."
, how dare you not clean the ground properly and almost caused little master Niu Hulu to fall."
As Liang Jiugong spoke, he looked around at the servants around him with a pair of sharp eyes. Everyone caught by Liang Jiugong's eyes lowered their heads.
"When the Zajia family is done with the errands at hand, they will definitely go and find out which damn little bastard was the errand today, and the Zajia family will definitely punish him."
After hearing what Manager Liang said, the young eunuchs quickly retreated quietly and left the place to work elsewhere.
Seeing that the people who gathered around the door to watch the excitement dispersed, Liang Jiugong smiled and bowed his hands to Nalan Xingde and said, "It's really thanks to Mr. Nalan that he supported Niu Hulu for the slaves today.
My mistress, if my mistress is injured, the emperor may have to give me a hard slap later."
After listening to Liang Jiugong's words, Nalan Xingde couldn't help but look at him gratefully.
Seeing that the quiet girl wearing a pink white house outfit with several of his favorite magnolia flowers embroidered with silver thread was still pale in front of him, Nalan Xingde couldn't help but scolded him in his heart.
He said a few words to himself, and then bowed deeply to Mrs. Niu Hulu to apologize.
Niu Hulu looked at the orchid and jade tree in front of her. The elegant and handsome young man she had been thinking about for many years not only called herself a slave to her, but also didn't recognize him at all. Deep down in his heart, there was an indestructible and most secret person.
The corner collapsed instantly, leaving a big hole and blowing cold wind inside. Even though the sun was warm above her head, she felt cold all over her body.
She had remembered him deeply in her heart since their childhood.
The whole family focused on the eldest sister, hoping to push her to the throne of queen. She was ignored by Amma and E Niang and was timid and cowardly. It was because of his words that she had the courage to stand up.
Not only did she go to the lessons taught by her eldest sister’s female master, she also learned music, chess, calligraphy and painting, Manchu, Mongolian and Chinese, knitting women’s clothing, housekeeping skills... She knew what her eldest sister knew, and she also worked hard to learn what her eldest sister didn’t know.
Originally, everything was going well. She hoped that she would have the opportunity to marry him when she grew up, and that she could stand side by side with him reading, writing poems, and enjoying the scenery. However, fate played a trick on her, and she was raised as a legitimate daughter.
Later, my sister was given a marriage proposal by the emperor and was married to the Bahrain tribe of Monan Mongolia. She became the successor of the eldest sister and shouldered the mission of the family and stepped into the deep palace with no retreat...
From the moment the eldest sister's dream of being queen was shattered, she knew that she would never be able to marry him again in her life. Although she had already made up her mind to erase him from her heart, she was far away from such things as reason.
I can't control my emotions.
That handsome young man wearing a round-neck robe embroidered with delicate slender bamboo leaves and dark patterns under the afternoon sun broke into her dreams countless times. She imagined how they would meet again countless times, maybe they just nodded to each other,
Or maybe they were giving each other a long-lost smile, but it was definitely not like this. She had traced his appearance in her heart so many times, but he didn't recognize her and just treated her as a stranger...
With a dull pain in her heart, Mrs. Niu Hulu used a lot of effort to gently pull out a smile on her lips: "It turns out that this is the famous Qing Dynasty genius Mr. Nalan."
"My little master is so complimentary. I just had nothing to do and occasionally wrote a few poems."
Hearing a girl with such an impressive temperament calling him a genius of the Qing Dynasty to his face, Nalan Xingde, who had been influenced by sinology since he was a child but still has a reserved personality, felt a little embarrassed and his ears could not help but turn slightly red.
Looking at the man in front of me with his bright and graceful smile and his graceful demeanor, and the young man in his memory whose eyes were as bright as stars when he smiled, they gradually overlapped and separated.
The smile on Mrs. Niu Hulu's face grew bigger and bigger, but the right hand holding Cuizhi's left arm unconsciously clenched tighter and tighter, and she used all her strength to prevent the slightest tremor from her voice:
"Originally, it was all my fault that I was walking in a hurry and couldn't stand firm. Mr. Nalan kindly saved me today. How can I blame you without thinking?"
Cuizhi, who was standing on the right side of Niu Hulu, felt her master's hand trembling slightly. She didn't know what was wrong with her master, and mistakenly thought that her master was still frightened. Now that she felt uncomfortable, she hurriedly got close to her again.
A little, so that the little master can lean on her slightly.
Hearing the words of the palace concubine in front of him, Nalan Xingde couldn't help but sigh in his heart that this woman also understood the righteousness, but he was a man after all. Even though it was an accident, he still offended the woman in front of him, and once again deeply felt that he was a man.
He bent down and bowed his hands, then nodded to Liang Jiugong beside him, then walked away from Niu Hulu's left side.
Because of the angle, when Nalan Xingde raised his hands this time, the sun's rays happened to clearly illuminate the dark patterns of the slender bamboo leaves on his cuffs. Cuizhi saw the familiar bamboo leaves, and her head moved.
With a "boom", it was suddenly hit into nothingness.
From the corner of his eye, Niu Hulu saw Nalan Xingde passing by him, and the footsteps behind him became lighter and lighter.
She lowered her gaze slightly and used her long eyelashes to cover her eyes that were slightly misty. Then she straightened her chest and walked towards Qianqing Palace.
Gently raising her head, the long pearl tassel hair ornament hung down to her left ear. She looked at the white clouds blown by the wind in the clear blue sky not far away, and her high flowerpot-soled shoes
It makes a crisp sound when in contact with the floor tiles.
She never imagined that she had been the only one who had been self-indulgent for so many years.
Back then, the man who came to Niu Hulu Mansion as a guest with his mother climbed up a tree in the back garden and took down the swallows and paper kites for the five-year-old concubine Erge, who was humble and timid and crying anxiously, and gently told her: "Don't be the first to take action when something happens.
She thought about crying, but she had to stand up bravely and work hard to find a solution." The young boy with bright and bright smiles and clean temperament must be a sweet dream she had when she was young.
She thought that maybe he would never know that she liked him, but she never thought that he would never remember her at all...
This has been a dream for more than ten years, how ridiculous!
The weaver is myself, the dramatist is myself, and I am the only one who falls into the dream from beginning to end...
Cuizhi, who was following Niu Hulu, was in a state of confusion. Thinking of the deadly bamboo leaf pattern, she felt extremely panicked. She never thought that there was someone in her master's heart.
This person was Master Nalan's cousin, whom the master had only met once when he was a child. No wonder in June of the 13th year of Kangxi's reign, the master was in a depressed mood for the whole month. At that time, she just thought that the master could not eat because of the hot weather.
Because of that, now I think about it, it happened to be the month when Mr. Nalan got married!
