flower dust

Chapter 6

"Li Ren, where did you go to play again? Look at your sweat!" Liu Er gently wiped the sweat from Li Ren's forehead with a handkerchief.

Li Ren poured himself a glass of water, drank it in one gulp, and then he was relieved, "Heh, I played shuttlecock with Fatty and the others for a while. Liu Er, you should go out and move around too. Seeing your face, you always It's so white."

"No need." Liu'er shook his head, he always likes to be quiet and doesn't like to move, "Come here, this is for you." Liu'er handed a scroll to Li Ren, who opened it curiously, "Ah, Liu'er, You are so kind, you actually drew for me!"

On that painting, there is a pavilion, and Li Ren is grabbing a grape, "Liu Er, is my face so fat?" Li Ren pinches his own face.

"You have a round face, and I blame you for making you fat." Liu'er also reached out and pinched Liren's cheek.

"Hmph, it really is a shameless guy who seduced the prince, even his own servant!" A gorgeously dressed woman suddenly pushed the door and came in. She was about the same age as Liu'er and had a sweet little face. on, full of anger.

"Girl, who are you?" Liu'er didn't know when she offended such a person, if she saw such a beautiful face, she would never forget it.

"I don't even know me. Let me tell you, I am the concubine that the prince is marrying back. Don't call me a girl. I am Princess Yi. Do you understand me?" Princess Yi widened her eyes and pointed at Liu Er, "See My concubine is still waiting to see you!"

Liu Er was still in shock, Xiao Yun married a wife, why didn't he know, looked at Li Ren, who was lowering his head guiltily, this time Liu Er understood, it must be because Li Ren was afraid that he would be sad, so She didn't dare to tell herself that Liu'er didn't stay at home, so she naturally didn't know that such a big thing happened outside.No wonder Xiao Yun didn't come to his place in the past few days. He thought it was because he was busy with court affairs, but it turned out to be the case.

Liu'er concealed the bitterness in her heart, and slowly knelt down, "Liu'er pays homage to the princess."

"Hmph, counting your senses, let me tell you that the prince is mine, and if you dare to get closer in the future, I will not spare you!" Seeing Liu Er like this, Princess Yi couldn't be more provocative, she flung her sleeves and turned to leave .

Li Ren hurriedly helped Liu'er up, with a face of shame, "Liu'er, I'm sorry, I was afraid that you would feel uncomfortable if you found out, so I thought it would be better if you didn't say anything, who knew that woman would come here to make trouble!"

"My lord should have married a long time ago. What did you do to hide this kind of thing from me, which caused me to be so rude just now." Liu'er blamed it on the surface, but secretly comforted her, so that Liren don't have to worry about herself, "I just drew this for you Painting, I'm a little tired now, I'll take a nap, you go back to your room, and call me after dinner."

Li Ren was still a little worried, but he couldn't see anything wrong with Liu'er, so he made the bed for him, turned around and left the room.

Only when she was left alone, Liu'er let go of the composure she pretended on her face.It's only been a few days, and I have already fallen into hell. I used to be loved by thousands of people, but now it's all over.The lotus in that pond should still be blooming just right, but Xiao Ye's words have come true, "Now he pets you, but he will spoil others in a blink of an eye."

"Brother Xiao, I have already seen the person he favors. She is so beautiful and beautiful. She is the concubine that Xiao Yun brought back dignifiedly. You must have seen it too. Are you laughing at me? I am overthinking myself, haha, haha ..." Liu'er lay on the bed talking to herself, laughed a few times, but choked up, and tears rolled down her cheeks.

It is said that having a moment can achieve eternity, and a beautiful moment can only achieve eternal sadness.The more beautiful the past, the more it sets off the desolation of the present, I am really too naive.However, even if he knew it a long time ago, nothing would change, he would not reject Xiao Yun, and he could not change the current situation, so he was destined to be so sad.

The clouds are still floating high in the sky, and what they thought they would meet is just a rain.When the wind stopped and the rain stopped, there was only the cold moisture left in my heart, reminding myself over and over again that everything was already in the past.

The room gradually darkened, Liu'er got up unsteadily to wash her face, although her heart was cold, she didn't want to make Liren worry about him.After washing away the tears, Liu'er sat on the edge of the bed, reading by the candlelight, but he didn't turn a page for a long time, and he didn't know where the focus of his eyes fell.

"Liu'er, let's eat!" Li Ren came in with the food, and was relieved to see Liu'er reading a book, but Liu'er didn't seem to hear his call, and remained motionless.

"Liu'er?" Li Ren put the food on the table, walked to Liu'er, and called out easily, Liu'er woke up with a start, and smiled slightly at Li Ren, "I was so fascinated, I didn't realize you came in , come on, eat."

Liu'er held Li Ren's hand and sat down together, her mouth still had a signature smile, but Li Ren felt something was different, now Liu'er seemed to be back in the Yanyu Tower, looking peaceful and elegant, but always With a little sadness.

Li Ren understands how important King Yi is to Liu'er, and he knows that Liu'er is just hiding her sadness from him, so he doesn't know how sad it will be.But since Liu'er didn't show it, he naturally wouldn't take the initiative to bring up the matter of King Yi, squeezed out a big smile and said to Liu'er, "Look, I made this fresh bamboo shoot soup, try it, try it quickly, I learned from Aunt Liu."

Under his urging, Liu'er picked up the spoon and took a sip, "Well, yes, it's very light and fresh." He knew that Li Ren was trying to reassure him, so how could he refute this good intention.

"I know you like light food. These bamboo shoots are extremely fresh. Take a bite." Li Ren coaxed Liu'er to eat a lot like coaxing a child to eat, so he felt at ease.

One person tried his best to hide, and the other tried his best to comfort her. After a few days, an unexpected person appeared in Liu'er's room.

"My lord!" Liu'er greedily looked at her lover whom she missed so much, unwilling to look away for a long time.

"I'm a little busy these days, so I didn't come here, are you okay?" Xiao Yun didn't know why he came to this courtyard, and he was a little bored when he went down to court. The steps went straight in.

Now that he had come in, he simply opened the door to see how Liu Er was doing recently.Seeing Liu'er's surprised look, Xiao Yun was a little happy. It was rare that there was such a person who really cared about him.

Xiao Yun didn't know that his concubine had been here before, so he naturally didn't know that Liu'er felt different when seeing him now.It turned out that King Yi hadn't forgotten him, and Liu'er narrowed her eyes happily, like a cat that has found its owner, leaning close to Xiao Yun's side, feeding him fruit.

"Okay, you guys, you, Xiao Yun, how did you promise my father, how could you..." The two were sweet, when suddenly they broke into the uninvited guest, Princess Yi looked angry, and pointed at Xiao Yun with grievances. .Xiao Yun was also taken aback, he didn't expect that little girl Sheng Yun would come here.

Sheng Yun is the only daughter of General Shi, Xiao Yun also married her in order to consolidate his power in the ruling and opposition parties.

After weighing the pros and cons, Xiao Yun stood up resolutely, put his arms around Sheng Yun's slender waist, and kissed her cheek affectionately, "Why are you jealous? I promised your father would take good care of you. How could you forget?"

"Then you guys are..." After being comforted by Xiao Yun in this way, Sheng Yun's anger dissipated a lot. Originally, she knew that Xiao Yun went to the garden after he went to court, so she wanted to run to him and saw him from a distance. Before calling him, he disappeared and walked into Liu'er's yard.Angrily, she stomped her feet, gritted her teeth and rushed in. As soon as she entered the door, she saw two people getting intimate.

"Just reminiscing about the old days, Liu'er gave me a painting, I want to ask him what reward he wants." Xiao Yun randomly searched for reasons, although he noticed the disappointment in Liu'er's eyes, he still tried his best to coax Sheng Yun.

"Then tell me, it's me or him that is more important!" Sheng Yun's child got angry, Xiao Yun had no choice but to say, "Of course you are more important, how can he compare with you."

"Hehe." Sheng Yunjiao laughed, revealing two dimples, making her look even more cute.

Liu'er watched the two leave coldly, "Liren, take these fruits away, I can't eat them myself."

"Liu'er." Li Ren glanced at Liu'er worriedly. He had been standing by the side. He could see clearly what happened just now. If the last time was the sadness of knowing the truth, then this time, it was after seeing the real scene. How could Liu'er bear the pain.

"It's okay, I already knew it, what are you worried about..." At the end, Liu'er almost choked up, and quickly drank some water to calm down.What is so sad about me? Is it because I was completely ignored, was it because I was abandoned, was it because of the intimate performance of those two people, was it because of Xiao Yun's sentence, "How can he compare with you."

Shouldn't I be neglected and abandoned? Xiao Yun already has a wife, and being able to visit him is already an extra charity. Shouldn't those two be intimate? Is that sentence wrong? I still don't know what kind of person I am, like mud, how can I compare with a girl like a lark.

Everything is as it should be, why my heart still hurts like this, like being bitten by insects, while it hurts violently, it turns into a hollow.

"Liu'er, lie down and have a rest." Seeing Liu'er's pale face, as if he would fall down at any moment, Li Ren persuaded him worriedly.

"Okay." Liu'er also knew that her current appearance would make Liren worry, so she might as well go to sleep to recover her mood before going to see him.

Before his body touched the bed, the door was knocked open, and what appeared was Sheng Yun's pretty face.

"Princess?" Li Ren hurriedly saluted, wondering why she came back so soon.

"You go out first." Sheng Yun didn't even look at him, and ordered him to leave. Li Ren glanced at Liu'er worriedly, but couldn't resist, so he could only retreat reluctantly.

Liu'er stood beside the bed in a daze, not knowing how to treat Sheng Yun, but Sheng Yun didn't look angry like the previous two times.She sat on the chair, looked at Liu'er, and didn't speak. After a long time, she sighed, "You are really beautiful. I can't take a good look at you every time. No wonder the prince likes you."

"How could it be that the prince really likes the concubine, and Liu'er was adopted in the mansion because of the prince's pity." Liu'er said tremblingly, but she also spoke the truth.

"I don't want to hear you say these things. How can I not guess the prince's thoughts? He treats me well only for the sake of the military power in my father's hands." A look of sadness appeared in Sheng Yun's eyes, "If I It's the same as me, but I'm an orphan, the prince won't even look at me."

"How could it be, the princess is so pretty and lovely, the prince must really like it." Liu'er actually forgot that she was still sad about this a moment ago, and she was a little anxious when she saw Sheng Yun's sad face.

Although Sheng Yun is young, he can read people's hearts. Seeing Liu'er comforting him so sincerely, he couldn't help but feel moved.She is only 16 years old. She is loved at home, but she is also kind by nature.Marrying into this palace for the first time, suddenly everything is strange, only her husband can rely on her, she accidentally heard a servant mention Liu Er, after careful questioning, it turned out that the prince took back the male favorite in the palace, how did she bear it? He rushed here to look for Liu'er in a hurry, but was blocked by Liu'er's obedience.

Sheng Yun thought that the two of them should be incompatible, but they were kind-hearted and didn't want to have conflicts with others. After thinking about it, they turned back to Liu'er, wanting to have a good talk with Liu'er, maybe they can get along peacefully.After only saying a few words, seeing Liu'er treat her like this, her heart warmed up, and her tone became softer.

"The prince has seen many beauties. Only those like Liu Er who are aloof from the world and look like a fairy can fall into the eyes of the prince. You don't need to comfort me." Sheng Yun's eyes were already red as he said.

"I'm nothing more than mud, you really don't need to take me to heart." Liu'er didn't know how to comfort her, the daughter of a powerful minister, the wife of a prince, how could it be her turn to confide in her heart.

"Liu'er, I beg you, I'm a girl, I have no one to rely on when I marry here, I only have the prince, I only have the prince!" Sheng Yun shook Liu'er's sleeves, raised his face, with long eyelashes Suddenly flashing, eyes full of pleading, "Liu'er, please, don't take the lord away, please, you are a man after all, you can do it better than me. When I marry here, I can only follow the lord for the rest of my life, Liu Son, please..."

How could Liu'er refuse such a pleading, but she was just a doll, and it was all in Xiao Yun's thought.There was some bitterness in Liu'er's smile, "You don't need to beg me like this, Liu'er is also self-aware, and will never hinder the eyes of the princess."

"Did you promise me?" Sheng Yun showed a joyful expression, with curved eyebrows and cute dimples, naughty but charming.Such a person, Liu'er would not want to fight at all, and he has never fought for anything. He is just a beggar on the side of the road, and occasionally accepts alms from King Yi.

"Liu Er, you are so kind. I know it's my fault. I stole your prince, but I really can't do anything for a girl. If there is no prince, my sky will collapse." Sheng Yun said pitifully. Blinking those big eyes, arousing love and affection.

Liu'er was bitter in her heart, as a man, she wanted to compete with a woman for husband, which made the world ashamed.However, if he completely leaves Xiao Yun, his sky will just collapse like this.Fate is still out of his control, even his heart is already someone else's, what else can he control by himself?

Sending away Sheng Yun who had already untied her knot, Liu'er was alone in the room in a daze. Seeing him like this, Li Ren hesitated for a moment, instead of disturbing him, he turned around and exited, and closed the door casually.

Is that the end of fate? In fact, I have already got too much, far exceeding my expectations, but people's hearts are always insufficient. When I get one thing, I start to desire another thing.Hoped too much to get such an unbearable pain of disappointment.It's just self-inflicted, no blame, no wonder, this pain can only be swallowed in the stomach, it cannot be digested, and it must be kept there, even if it is tortured day and night, it will not be relieved.
