The cool autumn rain fell slowly and slowly, thinly and lingeringly. The entire Erwang Mansion was immersed in a kind of silence. The sky was still clear in the morning, but it suddenly changed in the afternoon. The wind was blowing, the clouds were falling, and the rain was falling in the air.
It smells of wet earth.
After lunch, Ye Zhiqiu lay down on the rocking chair and was about to take a nap. It had been rainy for the past two days, and his knees were so sore. Now he felt uncomfortable all over, and he couldn't sleep at night.
I wonder what happened to Ling Hui when she entered the palace yesterday? Did she meet the fourth princess?
While I was thinking about it, I vaguely heard the little maids outside whispering something. The sound was not loud. When I was about to listen attentively, the sound suddenly stopped.
"Menghan, go see what those girls are doing outside." Ye Zhiqiu said lazily with half-closed eyes.
Hearing this, Meng Han stood up and simply packed up her skirt and headgear before slowly walking towards the door of the house. Ye Zhiqiu closed his eyes and shook his head with a smile. This girl is still so particular, for fear of being rude in front of others.
As soon as the door opened, he saw a woman with a smile as bright as a flower, walking towards her. Meng Han paused for a moment, then immediately knelt down and saluted, "I have met Princess Ling Hui."
"Why is Menghan doing this?" Ling Hui smiled heartily, "What is sister Zhiqiu doing? Could it be that she is asleep?"
Ye Zhiqiu was slightly startled, really missing someone. She stood up with a smile, looked at Ling Hui who walked into the room and said, "Sister Ling Hui, you don't have to be polite here, just sit down casually." She turned to Meng Han and said, "
Go down and make a new pot of tea to warm yourself up in the cold weather."
Watching Meng Han turn around and leave, Ling Hui sighed softly: "Do your legs still hurt every time it rains?"
She had always known that Ye Zhiqiu had coldness in his legs, but it was caused by rain during the month.
"It's gotten more and more serious over the years. Sometimes it's a bone-piercing pain." Ye Zhiqiu smiled lightly, "But I've long been used to it, but it's so hard that I can't rest all night long."
"Menghan is indeed a good girl," Ling Hui said with a smile, "but we need to find a good family for her..."
It was originally a joke, but Meng Han who came back happened to hear it. Ye Zhiqiu saw something wrong with her expression and immediately made a silent gesture with his hand.
"This slave will not marry," Meng Han put the jade plate on the table, lowered his eyes and stood in front of them, shaking his head solemnly and said, "This slave will stay with the princess for the rest of his life and will not go anywhere."
Ling Hui looked at her serious look, burst out laughing, covered her mouth gently and said: "You can ask your princess to find someone to marry in the palace for you, but you can stay by her side all day long.
, it’s not like we have to leave the house!” She rolled her eyes, and suddenly her eyes lit up, “How about Jian Ying? He should not be married yet, right?”
"My slave, I don't want it!" Meng Han knelt on the ground with a bang and begged, "My slave, I won't marry anyone. I, my slave, must always guard the princess."
Ling Hui was confused when she fell to her knees. She was just joking at her, but she didn't expect that this girl Meng Han would still be so stubborn. She was as stubborn as her master.
"No one wants to marry you, the princess is just joking," Ye Zhiqiu shook his head helplessly, "You can go and watch outside, the princess and I still have something to say."
Hearing this, Meng Han turned around and retreated with confidence.
"Where's the Second Prince? Are you going there again?" Ling Hui sat down where Meng Han was and pressed her knees slowly. Ye Zhiqiu wanted to stop him, but saw her serious expression and didn't say anything.
exit.
The relationship between her and Ling Hui over the years was no less than that of biological sisters. If she said these false courtesy at this time, according to Ling Hui's temperament, she would inevitably be scolded for a while, so it would be better not to say it.
"Sister Huyin is pregnant, and the prince will go to her when he is free on weekdays," Ye Zhiqiu comforted with a smile, "I don't mind, I have been here for so many years, and I am also happy to see my mother-in-law and the prince happy.
."
"The Second Prince is too heartless. You are..." Ling Hui originally wanted to say that she had given birth to three children for Fu Yanxuan. Now that the cold illness has returned, no one has come to care, but she is afraid of mentioning her again.
Sad, I can only sigh helplessly, "That's all, since ancient times, 'I only see new people smiling, but not old people crying', no one is exception."
Ye Zhiqiu knew her well, and he knew what she was thinking by looking at the way she hesitated to speak. She smiled lightly and said: "Sister Ling Hui is so considerate. Zhiqiu is very grateful, but now I feel that my own
The burden is a little lighter, as long as sister Huyin successfully gives birth to an heir for the prince's family, I will be considered successful in my life."
"If I knew you would suffer so much later, I would have tried my best to stop my aunt. It's a pity..." Ling Hui shook her head, "It's a pity that we are not gods who can predict the future..."
Ye Zhiqiu was able to marry into the second prince's house so smoothly because she was there to help. One was her best playmate, the other was her favorite cousin, one was knowledgeable and reasonable, and the other was personable. She naively thought that
The two of them are a match made in heaven.
Thinking about how they often traveled together and played and had fun at that time, it is inevitable to feel a sense of desolation that things are different and people are different.
"The disaster in life...can't be avoided..." Ye Zhiqiu didn't want to talk about his own affairs anymore, so he asked instead, "Where is Sister Ling Hui? What are your plans for the future?"
What were her plans? She didn't know, but just when she thought her fate was decided, fate made another joke, just like how she was taken away from Kyoto overnight by her mother.
"Sister Ling Hui...won't you still miss the Fourth Prince...?" Ye Zhiqiu clearly felt her hand pause, and he immediately understood what she was thinking.
The two young girls who had just begun to fall in love confided in each other. Ling Hui knew that she had a deep love for Fu Yanshuo. How could she not know Ling Hui's feelings for Fu Yunqi? The word "love" is difficult to understand!
"Sister Ling Hui is now free. With the Queen Mother's support, if it is not difficult to find a satisfactory husband, why bother...?" Ye Zhiqiu stopped talking and didn't say much. But even if it's not
If you explain it clearly, anyone can understand its meaning.
Ling Hui is not a pretentious woman, and there is no need to show off to Ye Zhiqiu.
"Don't you know, sister Zhiqiu?" Ling Hui stopped what she was doing, stood up and walked to the window sill, saying with a wry smile, "I've obviously missed you by a few months, but why have I refused to agree to my mother's marriage to me?
Even if I don't tell you, you should know best."
Naturally, she knew better than anyone else how many high-ranking disciples Ling Hui had rejected for Fu Yunqi. Now speaking of it, just looking at the word "stubborn", it was hard to tell them apart.
Ye Zhiqiu felt a little tight in her chest, and her heart was filled with panic. For a moment, she really didn't know what to say.
"I also asked someone to inquire about a lot of things about the fourth princess. I gave up after seeing them loving each other so harmoniously. Last year, I agreed to the marriage my mother had arranged for me." Ling Hui changed her face slightly, "Who knows?
You won’t let me get married, sister Zhiqiu, tell me…what do you think God wants me to choose?”
"The fourth princess is a good person, I don't think you should be like this..." Ye Zhiqiu smiled reluctantly, "The relationship between the couple is enviable. If you forcefully intervene, the fourth prince will definitely not be willing. Besides... the emperor
What kind of trouble will happen if there is no security there?"
Hearing what she said, Ling Hui's heart suddenly tightened. The past events were still vivid in her mind. In addition, when she met Fu Deyou in the palace yesterday, his wolf-like eyes made her shudder.
"What's wrong? Did something happen yesterday?" Ye Zhiqiu looked at her with a strange expression and asked worriedly, "But what did the emperor do to you again?"
The Queen Mother, including Fu Yanshuo, only knew that Fu Deyou made up a drama about a hero saving a beauty in order to marry Ling Hui. However, they did not know that after the family dinner that year, the Queen Mother pardoned them all to stay in the palace, but Fu Deyou took advantage of the dark moon and wind.
Gao Shi sneaked into Ling Hui's house secretly and wanted to use force on her.
Fortunately, Ye Zhiqiu couldn't sleep in the middle of the night and wanted to find her, so he happened upon this incident accidentally. If she hadn't had the idea to call "Empress" at that time, it is estimated that neither she nor Ling Hui would have escaped this disaster.
"No, what can he do to me in the clear sky?" Ling Hui touched her face and said lightly, "Besides, how can I compare to his harem of beauties?"
Ling Hui is very pretty and likes to wear light-colored clothes. From a distance, her posture is somewhat similar to that of Chu Miao'er. However, if you look closer, you can still see the difference. She is not as outstanding as Chu Miao'er.
Refined from the dust.
When I traveled to Kyoto before, I received many invitations from people. Part of it was probably because of her identity, and part of it was because I was obsessed with her appearance.
"Sister Ling Hui, don't belittle yourself. You haven't changed much from before. I haven't forgotten that the people who proposed marriage to you in the past have crossed the threshold," Ye Zhiqiu said with a smile, "And according to what you said, wouldn't I
Already old and lustful? No wonder the prince doesn’t look at me anymore!”
Hearing that Ye Zhiqiu was making fun of herself and deliberately making her happy, Ling Hui stopped talking. Others were afraid that they wouldn't understand her, so she just smiled and shook her head.
"Many things have changed, Sister Ling Hui," Ye Zhiqiu watched her looking out the window in a daze, and a touch of sadness slowly emerged in his heart, "Everyone is moving forward, there is no need for you to look back, this is what I do
The truth that I realized.”
"Such a lady, my sister will definitely have a better destination." Ye Zhiqiu said this, and it was her own business to listen or not.
Why didn't she understand what Ye Zhiqiu said? But people will always be obsessed with a certain thing or a person, especially paranoid people.
"Thank you, sister Zhiqiu, for reminding me." Ling Hui turned around and smiled lightly at her.
