Chapter 19
Lingyao returned to the room, the more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She really couldn't understand Duan Xiuran's thoughts. A few days ago, she kept saying that she wanted to marry her. Now that she was married, he made things difficult for her at every turn, and even found fault with her. He was sure He didn't have a prejudice against her?
"Twenty-seven, how long is it until Duan Xiuran's 25th birthday?" Lingyao lay on the bed, looking at the bed curtain, "I really don't know what he is thinking, his thoughts are all about the mountain path, Eighteen turns!"
"Return to the host, right away!" Erqi replied, "The host has persisted well, judging from the current situation, maybe there will be extra points!"
It doesn't matter whether you add points or not, she just wants to get rid of that nerve/disease as soon as possible.
Yuqiao walked in and said, "Princess, what gift shall we bring to His Majesty when we return to the palace in the future?"
"Going back to the palace the day after tomorrow?" Lingyao suddenly had an ominous premonition, "I'm afraid nothing will catch my father's eyes. Yuqiao, you can choose some good ones from the betrothal gifts, I believe you."
"Princess, don't you choose it yourself?" Leaving this matter to others is not like Lingyao's previous style of doing things.
"I still have something important to do. Yuqiao has been with me for so many years. I believe that our master and servant are connected!" After Lingyao finished speaking, she got up and went out. .”
"Yes." Yuqiao answered confusedly, confused.
But Lingyao didn't go anywhere else, but went directly to the kitchen.The servants in the kitchen had just finished tidying up and were eating. When they saw her coming, they quickly got up and saluted: "Shi Zifei."
"It's okay, don't worry about me, you can just eat." Lingyao said, looking around, seeing that the kitchen was clean, she couldn't help being surprised: "Why is there no food at all?"
The cook hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Whatever the imperial concubine wants to eat, I will help you make it."
"I had dinner and I didn't feel hungry, but Shizi only ate a few mouthfuls. I was afraid that he would suffer from an empty stomach at night, so I thought about finding some food for him."
The cook smiled knowingly: "So that's the case. But how can the concubine give the leftovers to the son? If the servants have cooked it well, how about you send it to the son?"
Lingyao glanced at their dining table and said: "You eat dinner first, I heard that there is always time for dinner, if you miss it, you will be hungry instead."
The cook was slightly moved and said, "That's good. The concubine made it with her own hands, so it might be more sincere." She found some ingredients and put them there: "The concubine has a light taste, big fish or meat, soft and fragrant." No matter what, it’s not as hungry as a bowl of noodles in clear soup in the middle of the night.”
"I...I'm not good at cooking noodles." Lingyao thought what the cook said made sense, but she rarely cooked and didn't know how to cook.
The cook smiled and said, "The Crown Princess is kind-hearted, and my servant is willing to help you."
So Lingyao got a bowl of steaming hot noodle soup.The strands and roots of the noodles are distinct, and they are quietly coiled in the clear soup, with a cute poached egg nestled on top, and there is nothing beside it, only a few green onions are finely decorated.
It was almost Haishi, but Duan Xiuran's study was still lit with candles, and the night watchman outside was already drowsy. Seeing her jittery from a distance, he wanted to get up and salute, but Lingyao stopped him.
The night was very quiet, occasionally you could hear the chirping of insects from the flowers and plants under the window sills, the moonlight outside cast a shadow, the people in the study had slender fingers as white as jade, and they were writing something intently with a pen.
There was a "squeak" sound from the direction of the door. Duan Xiuran knew that it was the sound of the door hinges turning. He thought there was something wrong, but just as he was about to ask, a smell of food rushed over first. He seemed to raise his eyes in surprise , saw that it was Lingyao who came, and then lowered his head again, as if he didn't see him.
But Lingyao had something to ask him, so she didn't care about his childlike behavior, put the noodle soup in front of him, and said: "I haven't eaten a few bites for dinner, and I've stayed up late for so long, I'm already hungry, right?"
Duan Xiuran glanced at the plain bowl of noodles in clear soup: "A gentleman doesn't eat cheap food."
With a sound of "噗嗤", Lingyao's voice rang like a small wind chime, which was pleasant to the ear.She only felt that Duan Xiuran had become weird since he had a long talk with her last time, always making herself awkward, but now he looks a little cute.
"It's not the food you came for, but I begged you to eat it?" Lingyao said.
Her tone seemed to be coaxing her son!
Duan Xiuran lowered his eyes and did not answer.
"I know, you told me what's on your mind, but in the end, I still asked my father to give you and me a marriage. It really shouldn't be, and it made you lose your integrity with Wu Bingning, and made you a bad person inside and out. But Duan Xiuran, you have to trust me, I am doing it for your own good." Lingyao said patiently, "If you really need me to fulfill you, then I promise you that after your 25th birthday, I will take the initiative to make room for you. Location, from now on, I will never bother you, okay?"
She thought that she would be subdued, and he would be able to let go of some prejudices according to what he thought in his heart, so that he could go back to the palace with her to meet the emperor, who knew that he felt a little comfortable listening to the first half of the sentence, but the second half suddenly His complexion changed, and with a flick of his sleeves, the bowl of noodles in clear soup fell to the ground, the porcelain bowl was smashed to pieces, the noodles spilled all over the floor, and even the hot soup splashed far away. .
Lingyao has a temper, she frowned and said, "Duan Xiuran!"
The latter said very calmly: "The princess is good at playing with people's hearts, I am ashamed of myself."
"What did you play with you?!"
But Duan Xiuran did not answer, only said: "Princess is arrogant, I will report to Your Majesty when I return to the palace the day after tomorrow. Besides, I will also beg for a favor, asking to accept Bing Ning as an equal wife. A piece of Bing Ning It is better to be kind to me, and the other is that we have made a private decision for life, and it is the princess who stepped in halfway, I believe that His Majesty is magnanimous and kind, and will definitely agree."
Lingyao was furious for a while, did Xiuran get kicked in the head by a donkey? !Just three days after getting married, do you feel like your head is heavy on your neck? !
But provoking him right now might cause him to do more extreme things, so Lingyao had no choice but to say: "On the day you return to the palace, you can't mention any of the things you said!"
Duan Xiuran looked at her: "Why?"
"Because..." Lingyao hesitated to speak, because he couldn't tell him what he knew.
"Let's do this," Duan Xiuran saw that she was speechless, "I will give the princess two ways, one is to tell the minister the real reason why you have tried so hard to save me several times, and the real purpose of marrying me; the other is, tomorrow morning At Maoshi, I also asked the princess to kneel in front of the Bingyu Tower for two hours, Bingning forgives the princess, and the matter is over."
"You let a princess kneel down to an orphan girl?!" Her voice was a little sharp, highlighting her inconceivability.
"There is another choice." Duan Xiuran's tone was still indifferent, as cold as Xue Ruoxue.
"Okay, Duan Xiuran, you are really ruthless, don't forget your oath!" Lingyao threw down these words, slammed the door and left.
The room returned to tranquility again, as if the dispute just now had never happened. Duan Xiuran looked at the direction Lingyao left, and was rarely able to guess her thoughts—what was the reason that made her give up her dignity rather than say anything? What about?
In the early morning of the next day, there was a patter of rain, and when the rain was pouring down, a lavender figure knelt in front of the Bingyu Tower.The sky was covered with dark clouds, and there were a few muffled thunder sounds from time to time, awakening Duan Xiuran who was sleeping soundly.
I could still see the moon last night. Why did it rain so much when I got up early?Duan Xiuran sat up, as if thinking of something, before he even had time to change his clothes, he picked up an umbrella and rushed out.
Seeing the master leaving in a hurry, the servant outside the door quickly grabbed an umbrella and chased him out: "My lord, wait for the slave!"
Because it is absolutely impossible to tell about the system and tasks, Lingyao could only choose the second path given by Duan Xiuran, and rushed to the Bingyu Tower before the time came, but before she knelt down, it started to rain cats and dogs, Immediately poured her into a drowned chicken.
But she still knelt down. For so many years, her knees knelt to the heavens and the ground, to her ancestors and gods, to her father and mother, and she never knelt down to anyone else!For some reason in the rain, she just felt her nose sore, and the grievances and unspeakable secrets that had been suppressed for a long time flooded uncontrollably with the rain like a mudslide, regardless of whether she could bear it or not.
She knew what happened that year, and she also knew that she suffered from leg problems because of saving Duan Xiuran from being soaked in ice water in the twelfth lunar month of winter, and she also knew how many times she had fought for Duan Xiuran and how many times she had taken risks over the years. I don't know how much favor Wu Bingning has given Duan Xiuran, and let him repay it for so many years, but what kind of favor can compare to the kindness of saving lives, or the kindness of saving lives over and over again?!
Is Duan Xiuran's heart carved out of stone?Why can't I always be moved...
Her knee hurt so badly, Wu Bingning stood in front of the window and looked at her coldly. In this rain, she once stood up to save a flower, but she could look at a person kneeling in the cold rain like nothing happened. inside.
Lingyao slightly curled the corners of her mouth, okay, so you are so hypocritical.
She knelt down, kneeling without dignity, but could she really afford someone like Wu Bingning? !Not to mention that she never intentionally framed Wu Bingning to such an extent, even with her status, is she really not afraid of losing her life if she kneels down to Wu Bingning? !
Her thoughts drifted far away, and it was difficult to take back, her vision became more and more blurred, and then she fell unconscious.
When she woke up again, she was already in her yard, and Yuqiao beside her had red and swollen eyes, apparently from crying.Seeing her wake up, Yuqiao almost cried with joy: "Princess!"
"Who... sent me back?" Her voice was hoarse, probably because of the cold.
"Princess, how can you humiliate yourself like this?" Yuqiao cried again, "If Your Majesty knows...how distressed..."
Lingyao's eyes were sore, Yuqiao quickly wiped her tears with a handkerchief: "If the son is not a good man, we ask His Majesty to reconcile! There are thousands of good men in the world, who would let his wife kneel here In the cold rain! What's more... your leg disease has recurred again!"
She was crying sadly, Lingyao smiled palely, and said: "Don't cry, I must go, but now...is not the time. Yuqiao, you send someone to tell the father, just say that I have a cold, It's not appropriate to go back to the palace, forgive Yao'er for being unfilial, and I will definitely go back as soon as Feng Han recovers."
"This... this is against the rules..." Yuqiao said, "No, if you don't want to let the princesses go back, okay?"
"It's absolutely impossible!" Lingyao had just finished speaking when a voice came from outside: "The princess is awake?"
The imperial doctor sent for diagnosis and treatment turned out to be Zhang Yikou.
