Chapter 73 ten of

Hearing the whisper, I raised my head, put down the wine glass that was raised to my lips, and smiled slightly, hiding the light that flashed in my eyes. "Ba Ye, today is your day of great joy, you must drink this wine." The people on the side were still playing and booing. I stood up and said with a smile: "My lords, I will definitely drink this wine, but I have to wait until I finish picking up the prince." Everyone was taken aback for a moment, and then fell silent in an instant, with embarrassing expressions on their faces. I turned a blind eye and called Lao Jiu and Lao Shi to follow me to pick them up, but when I turned around, I sneered in my heart.

I naturally know these personal thoughts. Even though we are always friendly on the surface, in essence, our competition with the prince has never stopped.Now that they meet the prince in my house, they will naturally be designated as my people by the prince.Such a determination is a very bad thing for those who are still half-hearted.However, this is exactly the result I want, so those who are still hesitating have to lean on my side. Sure enough, when the prince saw the civil and military officials behind me, his smile became forced and his face turned blue. In the past two months, the fourth child and the thirteenth child have gone to Tongcheng to inspect the river. Without their assistance, the crown prince has failed two errands in succession, causing the emperor to be dissatisfied. Naturally, I am very clear about the scene in the mansion and what it feels like in my heart.

Showing off mountains and dews was originally not my style, but now that the crown prince is a strong outsider, he can no longer shake my position, and I still hold a trump card in my hand... After saluting, he led the prince into the mansion, thinking about the next move in his heart, still smiling and greeting him, and the night was getting dark in the midst of toasting. The guests parted happily, and I walked back to my room slowly.You don't need to look to know that the room has been decorated in a beaming red.Footsteps paused. When I was newly married, the red room, the delicate face, the proud and stubborn eyes, the posture of raising my head to toast, now turned into a face full of resentment and unwillingness...

The old thirteen is newly married, in a red room, with a calm look, and a generous smile in the face of difficulties, "Husband and wife are one body, so why separate each other"... Now, when I step into a new house, what kind of woman will I face? The door was gently pushed open, and the figure beside the bed sat quietly. I approached, stretched out my hand, and the hijab slid off. The person in the portrait truly caught my eye, but the tense and cautious posture, and the regular downcast eyes made me no longer find the original familiarity. An inexplicable sense of loss gripped my heart.

The cold wind pushed open the half-closed windows and poured straight into the room. I half-lyed on the soft couch, my eyes didn't move when looking at the book, when I heard someone come in gently and close the window, approaching and tucking the corner of the quilt covering me. The aroma that has been familiar for a year enters the nose. "Master, Profile for the cold, you should rest early." "Go and rest, I still have an excerpt to read today." Said lightly, her eyes still did not move. The people around were silent for a while, and then silently retreated from the study.

When the sound of footsteps faded away, I closed my eyes wearily. On the way back from the concubine's birthday banquet today, our conversation reappeared before my eyes. "This Mingwei! This Mingwei..." Old Ten was talking bitterly to himself as he walked. I smile.These four words have almost become Lao Ten's mantra. Every time he meets Mingwei, Lao Shi is always the one who is choked to the point of speechlessness. No wonder he is so annoyed. "If you're a woman, don't care about anything with her. There's no need to get angry with her." Lao Jiu persuaded.

Old Ten was stunned for a moment, his face softened, and he snorted: "Ninth Brother, you don't know, I don't want to be as knowledgeable as this girl, but it's really surprising that such a unique woman is standing on Old Thirteen's side. Annoyed..." My heart moved, and I looked sideways, and saw that tenth old man was staring at thirteenth who was talking to the prince, his eyes were full of hostility. Does this hostility also contain elements of jealousy? "Brother Ten is right, I tried my best to get you, so I should have been more careful." "Women should obey the three obediences and four virtues... But my Ama is not here, and my husband didn't say anything, so the only thing left is... If Master Shi insists on letting me listen, then I will just follow your orders."

The hand she held tightly with Thirteen, her warm and tender eyes closely intertwined with Thirteen... Unique, what Old Ten said this time is really appropriate. I lowered my head, hiding the wry smile that flashed by. Yes, so what if they have similar eyebrows?There is only one Mingwei. The end - the end that is not the end When Fourteen asked to see me, I was taking portraits of my family. This hunting trip can be described as earth-shaking.The crown prince, Shisan and Mingwei were detained separately. For a while, the court was in turmoil and everyone panicked. Before the emperor had a clear order, in order to avoid suspicion, everyone adopted a conservative attitude. After doing their own duties, they went back to their homes and closed the doors No, and as the leader of this accident, I am naturally even more so, just waiting for things to develop in the mansion.

When I heard the notification from the servants, I smiled slightly, put away the pen, and asked someone to bring Shishi in. "My master's painting is to beautify the concubine's body." The person who was painted came over and looked at the portrait, and smiled lightly, "It would be great if the concubine could have such a spirit." The smile froze for a moment, and I looked at the portrait.Indeed, the woman in the painting is not as weak as the person in front of her, but the calmness between her brows, the wisdom in her eyes, and the firmness in her expression...

He crumpled the drawing paper casually, "It's not like the drawing, let's redraw it sometime when you have time." The footsteps around me receded, and I looked at the corridor, and saw Shisi's figure walking towards me. What is the purpose of his coming, I have already guessed. After so many days, can you finally bear it?If I don't let him see Mingwei, I'm afraid he will never be able to untie his knot, and a person who is bound by regret will not help me anymore. "The emperor arranged for Master Ba to be in charge of the House of Internal Affairs, which is enough to show how much he values ​​you. Congratulations to Master Ba!"

"My lord, you are being polite. With the trust of the emperor, a courtier can only live up to the emperor's grace by doing his job with all his heart. If there is any need for your guidance in the future, please give him your advice..." The play-like polite conversation starts from the morning, and doesn't end until almost after the Meridian Gate. The crowd around me gradually dispersed, and I lowered my eyes. Today is the first early morning return to Beijing, the crown prince was imprisoned, and the emperor appointed me as the head of the House of Internal Affairs, the meaning of which, everyone must have seen clearly.It's no wonder that after the next dynasty, everyone flocked to fawn over him, even those who had always stood by the prince's side. The so-called loyalty - nothing more. Even the emperor can sacrifice the innocent Thirteen in order to protect the stability of the court. Naturally, these individuals can also give up their principles and loyalty in order to protect themselves.It is common practice for trees to fall and monkeys to scatter. No matter who they are, they must be prepared to betray their relatives when they lose power. After all, there are too few people like Mingwei. I am used to using and being used, and I have also adapted to the selfish and indifferent human nature, but there is still a glimmer of hope in my heart, hoping that someone can prove to me that there is still selfless and pure emotion in the world. This man, I have found, is about to die at my hands. I let the helplessness and sorrow sneak into my heart, and I smiled miserably. It is as if a person who has been wandering in the dark all his life, finally finds a bright light, but has to smash it, because only by sinking himself into deeper darkness can he survive. He stopped, closed his eyes slightly, and scenes flashed before his eyes. The clear eyes when we first met... The peace under the moonlight in Changchun Garden... She looked at the warmth and pity in Shisan's eyes, and the coldness in my eyes... When the marriage was bestowed, the clear and firm voice said, "My servant thanked the emperor, concubine Xie De..." The witty answer when I quarreled with the old ten every time... The only time when you gave me a soft look without any hostility... Pale complexion when injured... The courage and determination to break into Yanbo Zhishuang Pavilion without hesitation... "Master, Jiu Ye and Shi Ye are waiting at the gate of the palace." The sudden sound in my ear woke me up, and I found that my eyes were wet.Taking a deep breath, I calmed down when I opened my eyes again. I looked back at the solemn and solemn palace behind me. I continued to walk towards the nine and ten who were waiting outside, and my steps became more and more determined. The last soft part of my heart has been thrown away by me since then.
