The weather in April heats up quickly. On the day of the Beginning of Summer, there were several light rains, which washed the sky as clear and bright as blue waves. Yongcheng also became more bright and moist, with rippling blue waves, pink walls and black tiles, and palaces.
The loess of the city appears in the scenery.
"Princess Chang Ning has also heard that you have some connection with the Immortal Sect, and I think she has been influenced by this. She has been plagued by nightmares recently, and it is difficult to sleep peacefully. She is depressed all day long, but she still doesn't know what the problem is. I hope you can recommend an expert to her.
, so I can explain something." Queen Wei sat casually on the screen couch, wearing a homely yellow skirt, her belly was slightly bulging, her tone was a little casual, "The saint has a kind heart and cares about the brotherhood. Since the eldest princess is still here,
I'm thinking about it, and I entrusted it to you, so you should find a time to visit her and give her more advice so that she can rest at ease and recuperate, so that the saint can rest at ease."
Qingrong's heart sank. She and the eldest princess Chang Ning had only met each other once and had no contact with each other. She really couldn't understand how she was "remembered" by Chang Ning. I heard that the eldest princess Chang Ning had been back in Beijing for a month. She was at home.
He was recuperating, looking gloomy, and refused to enter the palace. Perhaps Li Jin felt guilty when he saw that the royal family was withering and that there were not many brothers and sisters left. In addition, he had a close relationship with Chang Ning in the past, and now he felt uncomfortable seeing her.
I couldn't bear it, so I was very concerned about it and sent the imperial doctor several times.
Since the Wei family made mistakes before, Li Jin was naturally a little embarrassed when facing the Queen's family. Now that Princess Chang Ning has happened, the Queen has to be more concerned. In addition, the Emperor has made such a statement, and she, the Queen, is naturally a little embarrassed.
She should try her best to cooperate. Even though she was pregnant, she still went out to visit the palace with Li Jin in person. But after that, Princess Chang Ning's health still showed no improvement... Now that she said she was looking for her, I'm afraid it was just an excuse.
The queen's tone was casual, but there was a look on her face that could not be refused. Qingrong had no choice but to suppress the bitter smile in her heart and nodded in agreement, "Your Highness is right, it is hard to miss the eldest princess. Now that the eldest princess is ill, I, sir.
It is also appropriate for me to go and visit you."
The queen smiled slightly and said, "It's all good if you have the intention. I just hope that Princess Chang Ning can put aside the depression in her heart as soon as possible and go to the palace to talk."
Qingrong smiled and said, "I will do my best."
The queen leisurely said: "I am of course relieved that you are doing things. Seeing that it is getting late, please step aside first. When you are free later, come and talk to me again."
Qingrong smiled and agreed, bowed politely and left. She went to Xianfei's palace to sit for a while before leaving. Liu Yuniang's favor is not as good as before, as if she was gradually forgotten, but fortunately the queen
No one dared to embarrass Liu Yuniang when it came to governing the Sixth Palace fairly. She was getting better physically, but she had hurt her foundation and might not be able to get pregnant again in the future. Qingrong felt sour in her heart. She knew her own situation, although it was a pity.
She was not very sad. But Liu Yuniang was different. It was self-evident what such news meant to the women in the palace.
However, Qingrong was a little surprised. Liu Yuniang was not too sad about it. Instead, her whole person had a sense of leisure and calmness. Seeing that she was doing well, Qingrong felt more at ease.
On the carriage back home, Yun Niang saw Qing Rong thinking deeply about something, so she asked: "Madam, are you embarrassed by what the Queen said?
Qingrong raised her eyes and said, "I just don't understand something."
Yun Niang comforted her and said: "Since you have come, let her be safe. Since Princess Chang Ning is the lady mentioned in front of the saint and the queen, she will not go back and openly disagree with her."
Qingrong nodded, "After I go back, I'll choose a day to visit you."
Azhen wondered: "Why did Princess Chang Ning suddenly act like this? It's really quite evil."
Qingrong breathed a sigh of relief and said leisurely: "I'm afraid only she can know this."
At this time, Songyue said: "Madam, do you want to discuss this with Alang?"
Qingrong shook his head, "These things have nothing to do with him originally." Telling him would only make him worry more.
Songyue wanted to say something more, but when she saw Qingrong closing her eyes, she had no choice but to close her mouth.
After returning home, Qingrong did not see Xue Shao. After asking, she found out that he had gone out again. Qingrong felt that sooner or later, she and Xue Shao would be at odds with each other if this continued, so how could they live a stable life?
Even Mrs. Lu seemed to have noticed something was wrong. In the past few days, she had been talking about it openly and secretly. Xue Shao had been thinking too much recently, so she should pay more attention to it.
It seemed that she had to take the initiative to talk to him.
With this thought in mind, she waited at home all afternoon, but only when the dusk drum sounded did she wait for Xue Shao to come back.
"Are you back?" Qingrong stood up and went to greet him.
Xue Shao was stunned for a moment, a little surprised, and said yes.
Seeing Xue Shao being so cold, Azhen felt a little dissatisfied. Seeing this, she added: "Why did Alang come back just now? My wife has been waiting at home."
Xue Shao glanced at Qingrong apologetically, "I'm sorry. If something happens to you, just find someone to inform me. You don't have to wait for me."
Qingrong smiled and shook his head, "It's nothing important. I simply have nothing to do. I'm just waiting here for you to come back. Can I have dinner?"
Xue Shao shook his head.
Qingrong smiled and said: "Just in time, I asked the servants to bring the dishes. You have been busy recently and it is rare to come back early. Why not have a meal with me."
Xue Shao wanted to refuse, but when he saw Qingrong's expectant look, he swallowed the words back.
"good."
In the future, he is afraid that he will have no chance, so he thought.
Then several maids came up with food boxes. Qingrong said with a smile: "It's a bit hot today. I asked them to make cold Tao, two kinds of vegetarian dishes, and fish meat. Do you want to try it?"
Xue Shao felt sour when he saw her speaking so warmly, and raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "You can eat too, I'll do it myself."
Qingrong smiled and nodded. It seemed that the two of them could open their hearts and have a good talk today. Xue Shao didn't know what kind of thoughts he had today. It was complicated and difficult to describe. Seeing Qingrong accompanying him, he simply ate.
She was full, as if she would never have another meal after eating this meal. A-Zhen looked at it and couldn't help but cursed.
When the meal was over, Qingrong said with a smile: "You have a bad appetite today. Do you want to eat this fish and meat recently? If you like it, I will tell the kitchen to cook it every day. I will wait for you to come back at home to eat."
Xue Shao didn't know why, but there was a sour feeling in his heart. He tried his best to restrain himself and did not look at Qingrong. Instead, he changed the subject and said, "Today...I entered the palace. Is there anything you can do?"
Qingrong smiled and quickly returned to normal, "It's nothing, it's just gossip."
Xue Shao just nodded when he heard this, understanding that there were some things that she would not tell him.
For a while, the two fell into silence again. Qingrong thought for a moment and said: "By the way, I heard that the Ye Army is currently at war with the Turks. The two sides are in a stalemate. In the past two battles, the Ye Army has been losing steadily... I don't know what will happen next.
Can you come back victorious?"
After saying that, she looked at Xue Shao. When she mentioned this, his expression changed. He frowned and said in a deep voice: "It is said that only by knowing oneself and the enemy can one be invincible in a hundred battles. That was Liang Yuji's first expedition to the Western Regions, and he faced the Xizhou border.
Naturally, I don’t know much about it. The situation there is complicated, and victory will not be a matter of time.”
In the past, he went to the Western Regions with his family elders, and it took him a year and a half at the fastest to return to the court. Liang Yuji was a new general to Xizhou. Although Su Jian had the experience of sending troops to Xizhou as his deputy, these two
But this is the first time we have cooperated, and the situation...is indeed not very optimistic.
The more Xue Shao thought about it, he realized that the situation was not good. He mused: "Now the Goguryeo side is also in a stalemate, the war in Northern Xinjiang has not stopped, and Xizhou has suffered successive losses. It is really a hidden danger."
Qingrong heard this, but her heart was clear. Sure enough, he was still thinking about the things on the battlefield. His talent was not recognized and he could not display his abilities and ambitions. It was probably because he was really depressed and helpless. She could only comfort her and said: "The two armies are at war.
, stalemate is also common. Ye army has been fighting foreign wars for many years and has experience, so you don’t need to worry too much. "
Xue Shao shook his head and looked up out of the window. His voice was a little low and hoarse, as if soaked in the cold that penetrated people's hearts. Those who heard it felt powerless. "The war continues, but the people and soldiers are suffering. Although they are in a low position, they have to bear the burden of this."
But the price is the heaviest... extremely heavy and unbearable."
Why can't Qingrong understand what he means? All the people in this world are far more fragile and broken than those in high positions...
Songyue and the others were standing by to serve the meal. When they heard this, they couldn't help but feel shocked and couldn't help but raise their eyes to look at Xue Shao.
Qingrong held his hand, smiled slightly, and said comfortingly: "I know what you are thinking, but it is useless to worry too much. The power of the world is determined. Even if you are as humble as a grass, you cannot escape this principle. But good fortune and misfortune depend on each other.
, Times come and go, and they never stop at one place, even if they fall into a temporary trough, and the pearls are dusty, I believe that everything depends on man-made things. No matter what, there will always be a day when the clouds clear and the bright moon can be seen. "
Xue Shao was slightly startled, his mind suddenly moved, and he unexpectedly asked, "Do you believe..."
"I believe you." Qingrong accepted his words calmly and affirmed with a smile, "What about you, are you willing to believe me?"
Xue Shao stared at her, "Of course."
Qingrong smiled and said, "Although I am not talented, I still have to be taught by my husband. Although I can't compare with my husband's ability to recognize people, I dare to say that I don't have half the ability. I know that you have ambitions and talents, and you will make great contributions in the future.
, when it’s time to show off your skills. It’s just that you are in the pocket, but you still need to be patient, keep a low profile, and wait for this time to show your talents. Throughout the ages, there are many people who have great ambitions and are unknown. We are in a different situation than those before us.
You are much better, so how can you feel sorry for yourself? If you are depressed, there is really no cure and no luck. I believe in you, but you have to believe in yourself and give yourself some time."
Xue Shao was stunned for a moment. When he looked at Qingrong again, the fog in his eyes gradually receded, and his expression slowly relaxed. He was silent for a long time, and then he smiled lightly and said, "Thank you very much."
"Why do you and I need to see each other like this?"
Xue Shao looked at her, shook his head and said, "It should be."
After talking about it, Xue Shao seemed to let go of the frustration in his heart. Until nightfall, the two of them had talked a lot. Qingrong took the handkerchief that Yun Niang handed over and wanted to wipe Xue Shao's face. Xue Shao himself
He took it and held her down, "I'll do it myself, you can just sit down."
Qingrong smiled and nodded, "You must be tired after talking for a long time. Please take a rest early."
As he was about to stand up, Xue Shao's eyes were full of reluctance. He stretched out his hand to pull Qingrong, hugged her, leaned his head in Qingrong's arms, closed his eyes, and murmured: "Be with me again...
I’ll take a moment.”
He couldn't bear to be with her like this.
Qingrong smiled helplessly, "Okay."
…
This night, Qingrong felt Xue Shao's unprecedented patience and gentleness, like spring water nourishing all things, like the hazy moonlight covering all things, like smoke and mist, soft but sultry, it seemed that even the night was melted into it, making her
People are intoxicated.
Xue Shao hugged the person tightly in his arms... and whispered something into the sleeping person's ear. A tear came out of the corner of his eye, as if he was telling this last tender feeling.
