Chapter 41 Chapter 41: Originally Born from the Same Root (9)

I had a terrible night and woke up to the sound of birdsong the next day. Ahina came in to help me dress up, looked at me with two swollen eyes in the mirror and said, "Ma'am, Khan was assassinated last night. Saiji took away the Radoy who ate the tree mother god." "How do you know that Radoui left with the assassin?" "That's what the servant in the palace said. During the interrogation of Radoui last night, it was found that she was pregnant with a child. A servant saw that the assassin's remnant party took her away." The Turkic palace is well defended, how can an assassin come in and take away a living person?This kind of lie is only to cover up the fact that Radoui was killed.

Thinking of the passionflower last night, I thought to myself, it seems that the person who led Qi and me into the tunnel already knew that we were alive and took over. This is a kind of warning to me, warning me not to act rashly, he is secretly look at us. Ahina wanted to do my hair in a bun, but I was so upset that I didn't want to sit in front of the mirror all the time, so I said to her, "You don't need to do it, just do it for me." Unexpectedly, Ahina nodded in praise and said: "Ma'am, you are right. There is a saying in the Han people that hibiscus comes out of clear water. The women in the palace are all about putting on heavy makeup to please Khan, but they don't know that the roses with dew just blooming are the most lovable. "

I was watching blankly as she happily braided my hair when a maid came in to report that the empress dowager invited her to the Golden Rose Garden to drink wine. I shudder when I hear Portuguese wine. "The concubine is not in a very good mood recently," Ahina was a little nervous: "Radoy has just disappeared again. This is not an auspicious omen. Madam should say she is sick first and don't go." The pale face of Raduyi before he died last night flashed in my mind, will Biying treat me like this? "Some things have to be faced." I smiled at myself in the mirror and said to Ahina: "You send me there, I heard that the princess is half of Han Chinese, maybe we have a good relationship Woolen cloth?"

Ahina couldn't resist me, so she helped me change into a pomegranate-colored gauze dress, put on the Hetian jade inlaid with ruby ​​​​buyao that Saruer had rewarded, and took me to the Jade Palace with a yellow agate jade bracelet. The Swallow Tower in Yusuan Temple was built by Saruer for the concubine to appreciate the moon. Apart from the Stargazing Hall in Saruer's Shensi Palace, the Swallow Tower is the tallest building in the entire Gongyue Palace, even surpassing the Empress Dowager's. Fengtailou said that His Majesty was very dissatisfied, and had a big fight with Saruer for this.

As usual, I walked through the Golden Rose Garden. It was a sunny day with birds singing and flowers fragrant. I looked up slightly and saw a beautiful figure on the Yanzi Tower looking at me from a distance, and entered the Yuxi Temple and passed under the eaves. , when I looked up again, the lady on the porch was gone. When I came to the inner hall, I saw the brilliance of jewelry and antiques everywhere, and there was an unparalleled nobility in the richness. There was a picture of a hundred birds facing the phoenix hanging on the wall. The auspicious bird and phoenix in the picture did not lie on the plane tree like the legend On the tree, I squatted proudly on a delicate and beautiful rose branch. I recognized it as her embroidery. Stitches and threads, pink petals and silk embroidery, clever and ingenious, if the flowers are in full bloom, the phoenix is ​​like a graceful phoenix.

In the twelfth lunar month of that year, when Song Minglei was practicing martial arts, the cuffs of his winter clothes were scratched, and he took them and asked her to mend them while she was lying on the bed. It was snowing heavily outside that night, Dexin’s house was not lit with good charcoal, and there was not enough kerosene to light the lamp. I was most afraid that she would be tired, so I refused to let her sew at night, and forced her to sleep, but woke up in the middle of the night. Later, she still sewed that coarse winter coat seriously under the lamp like a bean, and embroidered a delicate rose on the cuff, which was more Qingwen than Qingwen in the Dream of the Red Chamber. I had a high fever, and I scolded her for a long time, but she looked at the winter clothes happily, and said foolishly: "Second brother must look good in it."

So, the next day, I walked through the thick snow and sent Song Minglei that winter coat, especially showing him the rose, but found that he was not as happy as Biying hoped, and he was not even wearing it. Angrily asked him why he didn't wear it, he said lightly that the pattern on the cuffs was too feminine, it would make people think it was broken sleeves, then he forced it to me and asked Biying to change it, I snatched it angrily. On the way back, I thought again, Biying looked at it, and being angry and sad is a trivial matter, mainly because I was afraid that this girl would definitely have a high fever, and then I would light up Song Minglei to change it in the middle of the night. I will become crazy, why don't I take it and get her to correct it myself, so I hid in Yu Feiyan's Dongying, and scolded the heartless Song Minglei for a long time in front of Yu Feiyan and Jinxiu. Jinxiu still laughed at me for worrying so much about what I was doing. It was purely thankless. Yu Feiyan just handed me tea and sat next to me to watch me lose my temper by myself. She didn’t dare to intervene. Rose changed into a SNOOPDOG, and secretly scolded him for not being a SNOOPDOG, just a wolf-hearted dog. Yu Feiyan saw it but couldn't put it down, and even asked her second child to change this winter coat. Jinxiu also said that this pattern is special, I was in a better mood, and then I sent it to Song Minglei. He was still waiting for me at the old place. Sai, gritted her teeth and said, "Let me tell you, even though Biying changed it for you, she was very angry, so from now on, you are not allowed to wear this winter coat in front of her."

Song Minglei was staring at the SNOOPDOG for a long time, and I naturally kept jumping up and down in the snow to keep warm, rubbing my hands with a guilty conscience. After a while, he showed a warm smile, took off his gloves, hung them around my neck, and rubbed his hands for me, his clear pupils were shining brightly: "Don't worry, I will It must be well hidden. No one will give it." At that time, I was a little hairy thinking, why did this kid act like a pledge of eternal love, and I was angry that he didn't cherish Biying's hard work so much, so I just snorted coldly, pulled my hand from his hand, swung my braid proudly, and raised my head Just left, walked a long way, and couldn't help turning back quietly, but saw the boy in the heavy snow, his head and body were covered with falling snow, his face was blue from the cold, but he still maintained his old appearance, holding The winter coat smiled at me from a distance.

Song Minglei didn't wear that thick winter coat anymore, but just wore an old sheepskin waistcoat, his nose was flushed from the cold and his face didn't change. Naturally, every time Biying asked with distress, why didn't she put on the winter coat she sewed for him in such a cold winter? , I didn’t dare to look at Song Minglei, only heard him smile faintly: “Recently, I have made some progress in martial arts, so I only need to practice endurance, it’s okay not to wear it.” Biying burst into tears, as if she was the one who suffered from the cold, and I regretted it too, thinking I should go to Song Minglei and say a few soft words, let him put it on, don't suffer like this, but it's a pity that I haven't had time to speak, his However, he has an extra winter coat of snow raccoon that was originally a gift from Feiyan. No matter where he goes, he always receives envious and jealous eyes from people, and the chances of him coming to us are getting more and more frequent. Biying's eyes are getting darker and darker.

I sighed softly in my heart, and the beautiful figure beside the shining crystal bead curtain moved slightly, as crisp as a song from heaven, I turned around, and Biying's exquisitely painted face appeared in my sight. I knelt down slowly to salute her, but she walked over a few steps and helped me up, which surprised me: "Mujin, get up quickly." I looked up at her, and she looked at me, with tears streaming from the corner of her eyes, and said in a trembling voice, "Mujin, it's me, Biying!" I looked at her suspiciously, and smiled softly: "Mr. Minjun, Mo Wen has seen the Great Concubine."

Still ignoring her, he knelt down slowly. The pendulum clock was ringing non-stop. It was ten o'clock in the morning. I looked at the ground indifferently, but what I thought about was what Radoui said when he died. She sighed softly and sat down a little away from me: "Madam, please get up." I stood up in a regular manner, and she asked me to sit down beside her, she took my hand, and I looked at the parsley behind her. "You were scared by me yesterday," she said in a low voice, glanced at Xiangqin, and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, Mujin, Xiangqin is now my sister, not our enemy." "Xiangqin, you go down for a while and help me guard." She said something, Xiangqin seemed to want to say something, but seeing Biying's face, she finally dimmed her eyes, bowed her head and made a promise, and walked out . There were only the two of us left in the room, the pendulum was ringing non-stop, my hand was a little sweaty from being held by her, and I slightly wanted to take it out, so she let it go slowly, but she didn't speak, just kept talking. I just looked at me, but I just looked at the picture of a hundred birds facing the phoenix, lowered my eyes and asked: "I don't know if the concubine or empress is here, what is your order?" "How have you been all these years?" she asked in a low voice. I raised my eyes to look at her, her eyes were drawn with charcoal pencils towards the corners of the eyes, looking forward to the beauty, I smiled shyly: "Thank you for your greetings, big concubine, don't ask how you have lived these few years." I pointed to the picture and said: "This piece of fabric was embroidered by the concubine. The silk satin on the bottom is the sample given to Your Majesty by the Minnen last time. The Minnen remembered that Your Majesty said that there was a beloved wife who loved embroidery the most. I think it's about your wife." Her beautiful face was flushed, and the air was a little cramped. After a while, she smiled and said: "I heard that you have a daughter, she is eight years old this year." When I mentioned Xiyan, I couldn't help showing a helpless smile, and nodded my head: "Xiyan is a naughty ghost, it's annoying to take her with you." I let out a long sigh, wondering when I would be able to see her again, and thinking about her made my heart ache. "My son Mu Yin is six years old this year, and he is the prince of the Great Turks," Biying continued, seeming to be very interested in the topic of children, and no longer forcing me to recognize his relatives, she smiled slightly, "Daughter Afenwu Aged, very shy, not like Mu Yin, who is a little naughty, just like his father." Her face was full of the pride of being a mother. I looked at his slightly caged belly, thinking that a mother died in the mouth of a monster in the underground palace last night, and smiled: "How many months?" Her face suddenly sank, and she said sadly, "It's been four months." Her exquisitely drawn eyes slowly filled with tears, I was startled, she suddenly stretched out her green hand, grabbed my butt and pressed it to her stomach, choked up and said: "Mujin, you hate me!" My eyes were also wet, and I still forced a smile and said: "What the concubine said, don't ask if you don't understand, I don't understand at all." I said lightly: "However, I always thought that my sworn sister died in the Gobi Desert." She looked at me with tears in her eyes, and I smiled: "Fortunately, she survived, and so did my friend." I looked at her somewhat blurred eyes, and smiled, "It's so good, the two of them... They both survived, and that means more to me than anything else." But Biying suddenly burst into tears: "Don't say that, you actually hate me in your heart, you can scold me if you want to, I always think of you in the wilderness, but I enjoy all the glory and rob you My favorite Khan." "Big concubine," my tears welled up, I wanted to hug her very much, and scolded her a few times loudly as I did when I was a child, and then the two hugged each other to shed tears, but last night's nightmare, and the tree Her tears from the Mother Goddess... I just shook my head with a smile. Although Biying used to be arrogant, she didn't like to cry in front of people. Even in front of me, when she was wronged, she would always cover the quilt and cry secretly. I always dragged her out and persuaded her for a long time , but now she spends almost half of her time crying in front of people. That kind of tears is no longer the kind of weakness like a sick beauty, but a kind of beauty that poets and poets sing about in the world, called pear blossoms with rain, but it seems to be a kind of weak appearance Camouflage, like crocodile tears. Maybe this troubled world, this harem, as long as we survive, we must change, just like I have become an even more absurd Jun Mowen.
