The past (..)
A noon, such a happy past.
Dongling Chutian actually wanted to leave more time to accompany Su Nianwei, but the eunuch in the palace sent a message saying that it was a messenger from a neighboring country and sent an urgent message.
Su Nianwei knew that as the king of a country, he had to deal with a lot of tasks every day. Besides, there are so many ambitious people around him, staring at his position. A little carelessness will cause criticism. Therefore, she didn't let him stay any more. She persuaded him a few words and let him leave in a hurry.
After Dongling Chutian left, Hongyan sent the boiled soup. Seeing Su Nianwei, her chin was lowered, and her eyes were staring straight at the ground without looking directly at her.
Su Nianwei took the medicine in her hand and felt that the atmosphere was a little awkward, so she broke the deadlock; "Red smoke, you are wronged today, emperor..."
"I know that the emperor actually cares about you."
When he said this, Hongyan looked at Su Nianwei with some resentment.
Su Nianwei was shocked and replied without hiding; "Ha ha, that child treats you like a mother, so..."
"Miss Su, don't deceive yourself. Hongyan has been with the girl for so long, can't you see the emperor's thoughts?"
"I..."
"Miss Su, don't worry, you helped me this time. I won't let the prince know about this."
I didn't expect that Hongyan would answer like this. Su Nianwei looked up at her in astonishment.
"Red smoke, so you know everything!" In fact, she should have understood how she didn't know what happened between her and Dongling Chutian with the wisdom of Hongyan. However, she has always regarded the kid emperor as a child, so she ignores other people's eyes.
"I'm afraid that anyone with eyes can see the emperor's feelings for the girl!"
"Red smoke, he is a child..."
Without Su Nianwei's words, she stared at her with red smoke and beautiful eyes and promised, "I know, Miss Su, I understand what you mean. Don't worry, if you help me so much today, Hongyan won't say it even if he dies!"
"Can I help you? Do you mean that the emperor blames you?
Red smoke nodded, and after removing the usual coldness, she became extremely obedient and obedient; "Yes, if it hadn't been for the girl to plead for me today, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to wait for you here."
"Is that what you want to serve me?" Normally, she has nothing to do with her, let alone emotion. She is just a Dongling Xiu faction to monitor her detailed work. Why do you want to stay by your side?
"I... Yes, it's much better to serve you than to leave you.
Su Nianwei looked at the coldness and resentment in her eyes and said doubtfully, "I don't understand what you mean."
"Don't care about the red smoke first. The red smoke just wants to know that the girl knows that I was sent by the prince. I will only be bad for you to stay. Why do you still
Do you want the emperor to leave the red smoke?
"If you get along with animals for a long time, you will have feelings, not to mention people. You have served me for so long. Although we have never sat together and talked, do you already know me well? Besides, if I drive you away, will Donglingxiu let me go?
"Your Majesty..."
At this point, the red smoke seems to be a little uncomfortable. The second half of the sentence is stuck in my throat and I can't say it. Just with a pair of helpless and affectionate eyes, he fixedly looked at Su Nianwei. That look seems to have thousands of words, but it can't be said.
"What can he do?" Su Nianwei asked indifferently. For Donglingxiu, she has exhausted her muscles and doesn't want to say anything more.
"He loves girls very much!" To say this, there is a trace of bitterness in the sadness of the red smoke's eyes.
Su Nianwei listened and just sneered slightly, and his eyes couldn't help but show a trace of hatred; "If he has love, I'm afraid that heaven and earth will change."
"Red smoke can see that the prince really loves you." Hongyan stared at Su Nianwei slightly anxiously and explained.
"Hongyan, you are his person. Even if you haven't seen it with your own eyes, you should have heard of it. What did he do to me? Torture, injury, insult, which one has never been done to me? Even my face was destroyed by his own hands. After saying that, Su Nianwei pointed to his face, and his eyes were full of coldness. For Donglingxiu, he should only hate and not love.
"No, maybe the prince once misunderstood you, but now he must love you. Red smoke can be seen.
"Really, if this is what he calls love, then I'm afraid few women in the world dare to accept it!"
"No, the prince just did this just to let the girl take him to heart."
"With this cruel and fierce means, I think he has done it. However, that's not love, but hate!"
"The girl prince is actually a good man, but..."
"Red smoke, tell me honestly, are you in love with him..."
Yes, from the beginning, Su Nianwei has always thought that Hongyan was willing to work for Dongling. He must have some handle or be threatened by him to work for him. But now it seems that Hongyan not only has no trace of dissatisfaction with Dong Lingxiu, but keeps talking for him, and even when it comes to him, the shame and pain of the girl in her eyes are so obvious.
Then, she will give up on doing things for him, and there is only one answer. She fell in love with the devil.
"I..." The red smoke was delicately red, and the water eyes flashed a trace of uncomfortable dark light.
Su Nianwei was stunned and saw a clue; "It turns out that you really have feelings for him."
"Miss Su, let Hongyan tell you the truth. Since the prince bought me from the theater class when I was 13 years old, Hongyan's heart has never left the prince since that moment. Therefore, even if the prince loves you, Hongyan is willing to do anything for him. When saying this, Hongyan's straight eyes were like a brave child, expressing his love with such firmness and persistence.
Su Nianwei couldn't help sighing and asking what the world is, teaching life and death. It seems that this sentence is absolutely right. Hongyan, such a cold and arrogant woman, didn't expect to fall in love with a person like Donglingxiu, which really made Su Nianwei regretful and helpless.
It seems that feelings are destined to be difficult to fall into, and it is difficult to allocate themselves. Just like the current red smoke, in the face of a man you love deeply, but you can't love, that feeling should also be very painful.
Just like myself, I love my brother Hanyang deeply, but unfortunately after a thousand years.
Seeing Su Nianwei looking at himself in silence, Hongyan's ten fingers moved to the corner of his skirt, and his phoenix eyes said with tears in his eyes: "Girl, you should look down on Hongyan, right? Yes, Hongyan is so humble and not worthy of anyone's liking."
Listening to her words, Su Nianwei just said earnestly, "Hongyan, you are such a beautiful girl, how can no one like you? It's just that you focus on him, how can you pay attention to other people's love for you? Although love doesn't mean that you can get out, I still advise you to stay away from Dongling. He is not suitable for you.
Hongyan's eyes turned red, but her expression was as cold and firm as usual; "The girl doesn't need to say more. Hongyan will recognize the prince in her life. Even if she dies, she will not leave him. Unless he drives away the red smoke.
"In this case, why don't you confess to him? How can he know what you mean when you hide aside and like him so silently?"
Su Nianwei knew that she could not turn back, so she could only encourage her with good intentions.
After listening to Su Nianwei's words, Hongyan's eyes suddenly converged, and his face was slightly low; "Hongyan knew that he was humble and could not accompany the prince at all. As long as you can see him, Hongyan will be satisfied and won't expect the prince to be rewarded.
"Well, you are such a stupid girl. Since you like him, why don't you stay by his side and work by my side? In this way, aren't there fewer opportunities to see him?
"The girl doesn't know that the prince doesn't like to have women around him. Generally, it is the fierce general who follows him. For the concubine in the house, the prince is only a spring night, and he doesn't go there much on weekdays. But unlike being around the girl, the prince will often come to find the news about Hongyan dressing up. Therefore, Hongyan is the most woman to meet him.
"So that's it. You will thank me so much for pinging for you. It seems that you really have a deep affection for him. When saying this, Su Nianwei felt slightly unworthy about this infatuated woman. Is it because he bought her from the troupe when she was 13 years old, will she repay him with her own body?
"Girl, Hongyan wants to ask you one thing!"
"What's the matter?"
Facing the red smoke that suddenly lowered her head and was full of frustration, Su Nianwei stared at her puzzledly.
"I hope the girl doesn't tell the prince about this. Because red smoke doesn't want to..."
"I understand that since you are willing to keep it a secret about me and the little ghost emperor, I will naturally swallow it."
"Well, thank you for the red smoke."
"I just want to ask you, is it worth it?"
"Red smoke doesn't know what is worth and what it is worth. Red smoke only knows that the prince is happy, and the red smoke is happy. If the prince is sad, Hongyan will not feel good.
"Alas..."
jing he ba yue26
The weather is slightly cooler, and it has just entered autumn.
The leaves of Liu Lake fell one by one, falling into the arms of the earth with a trace of regret and sadness. Some of them jumped unwillingly, some struggled to spin, and some fell quietly like dust.
The recent autumn rain has also been down for several days, and the area around Qiushuifang is shrouded in this hazy rain, and there is a dead silence.
The weather is slightly sunny this day.
Su Nianwei rarely sat on the lakeside chatting with Hongyan.
Since that day, they have talked to each other, and their feelings seem to have taken a big step in an instant.
"Girl, do you know that Princess Xiao was punished by the prince a few days ago?"
Looking at Su Nianwei, who was fascinated by the lake, slowly came to his senses and looked at the red smoke path faintly; "Are you talking about Xiao Xue?"
"Not bad. After the abortion, her temper became dry and irritable. She often beat the maid in the house. Later, she heard that she knew that the prince went to bed at Mrs. Zhiqiu's house. She was not only furious, but also beat Mrs. Zhiqiu's maidservant half to death.
Is that right? At the beginning, she didn't know how simple and touching she was. She didn't expect that time would change everything. Or, time slowly makes an individual who likes to cover up gradually lose patience, but reveals her nature!"
"I don't understand what the girl said. Hongyan only heard that the prince used to accommodate Princess Xiao, but once the princess suddenly disappeared for a day. Later, the prince knew and sent someone to investigate the matter, and did not know what happened. Since then, the prince's eyes have changed. Now, I'm afraid he hasn't been to Qinxueyuan for several months!"
"Hongyan, I didn't expect you to be in the palace and know a lot about Yu Wangfu!"
Hongyan blushed and said shyly, "Actually, Hongyan will use all kinds of ways to understand everything about the prince."
"Do you know something happened a few years ago?"
Red smoke soaked his feet in the lake and asked with a puzzled face: "What does the girl want to ask?"
"It was a few years ago that your Princess Xiao was almost killed! No, she was not a princess at that time, but just the beauty of King Yu.
"Did the girl say that the girl was still the princess at that time?" Hongyan was not sure, so he asked very carefully.
Su Nianwei said lightly: "It doesn't matter who is the princess. The important thing is that when Xiao Yuxue and I visited the lake, everyone thought that she was pushed into the lake by me, and then she disappeared. Later, she appeared again, and then gathered thousands of favors. But I have come to an end like today.
Listening to Su Nianwei's detailed narration, the red smoke frowned like willow leaves. After thinking for a moment, he asked quietly: "I remember that time, the house was panicked by that incident. The servants in the house also thought that it was the girl who harmed her, and the prince was also extremely depressed during that time. He lived a very painful and depressed life. At that time, Hongyan was also sad for a long time, so this matter impressed Hongyan very deeply.
"It seems that you think so!"
What does a girl mean? By the way, why did the girl mention it after such a long time? Isn't there something else hidden in it?
Su Nianwei smiled bitterly, and his eyes rippled; "Yes, I want to ask, do you also think I pushed Xiao Xue into the water?"
Hongyan didn't expect Su Nianwei to ask her like this, and seemed to be stunned by the question for a moment.
Her watery eyes stared fixedly at Su Nianwei for a long time, and her red lips seemed to be closed and could not spit out a word for a long time.
Su Nian's eyes darkened with a little sarcasticity; "Forget it, I shouldn't have a glimmer of hope in this matter."
After saying that, she slowly got up, and her water pupils looked at the distance faintly, and she couldn't see whether she was happy or sad. It just gives people a slight melancholy taste.
Looking at the back that was about to leave, Hongyan suddenly got up and quickly stood in front of her. Her cold phoenix eyes stared at her like a flame and said, "Miss Su, even the red smoke thought for a moment that you pushed her like water because of hatred, but now the red smoke finally understood. Miss Su must not have done it that day, right?
"How can I see it?" Su Nianwei frowned, and the black pupil was still so indifferent. But in my heart, it is surging because of a person's understanding.
"Because the girl just became a princess at that time, and the prince caused a deep misunderstanding of you a long time ago, and it was the emperor's marriage, so with the prince's unmanageable personality, he will definitely reject this marriage. At that time, the prince happened to be deeply in love with Miss Xue. Everyone thought that the girl's concubine would definitely be replaced, and it was Princess Xiao who directly threatened the girl. However, on that tour of the lake, Princess Xiao accidentally fell into the water, and it was the girl who accompanied the princess. In addition, the process was witnessed by Miss Xiao's close maid Tianyu. Therefore, everyone is convinced of the misunderstanding caused by the girl.
"Then why do you think I didn't do that now?"
"That's because after getting along with the girl for a long time, Hongyan gradually found that the girl was actually very kind. You treated your servants like sisters, just like Ah Xiang. In fact, she knelt on the ground before she got married and begged me not to hurt you. From that moment on, I knew that the girl must be a very good person, otherwise Ah Xiang would not be so loyal to you.
"It turns out that Ah Xiang once begged you. She is really stupid..." Su Nianwei, who didn't expect such an episode, suddenly touched her heart.
Hongyan also nodded movedly; "Well, even if Ah Xiang doesn't come to me, I know that the girl is a good person. First, girls are not greedy for glory and wealth, let alone those who are attached to the trend. Otherwise, the girl would have taken advantage of the emperor's favor and ascended to heaven in one step. What makes Hongyan more sure is that the girl actually does not love the prince, so there is no need to compete with Princess Xiao for the position of princess. If you insist that the girl wants to harm Princess Xiao, it's a little hard to say. What's more, if Hongyan remembers correctly that day, it was Princess Xiao who invited the girl to move forward together, right? If I am Princess Xiao, you should have a sense of crisis when I see a girl. After all, as two hostile people, how can we go to the lake together? Therefore, it can only be said that there must be secrets in it.
"Red smoke, you are so smart, but unfortunately, only you understand in the world." For the first time, someone understood the true direction. The heart that had been gloomy for a long time seemed to see the clear sky in an instant. The feeling of being illuminated by the dawn made her suddenly enlightened.
"Girl, is it really as I said?" Red Smoke was slightly surprised that his analysis was correct.
Su Nianwei said with a head: "Yes, if Xiao Yuxue hadn't asked me that day, I wouldn't have helped her. Unfortunately, he was bitten back.
"So, there must be a story in it?"
"Yes, Hongyan, have you heard the story of the farmer and the snake?"
"No, but why does the girl tell a story to Hongyan?"
"You will understand when you hear it. On a snowy night, a farmer finished his farm work and saw a snake frozen. He felt that it was pitiful, so he picked it up, carefully put it in his arms, and warmed it with a warm body. The snake was heated, gradually recovered and regained its vitality. When it completely woke up, it immediately recovered its nature and bit its benefactor fiercely with its sharp and poisonous teeth at a lightning speed, causing him a fatal wound. When the farmer died, he said regretfully, "I feel sorry for the wicked and don't distinguish between good and bad. As a result, I really deserve to suffer such a bad reward!" But when you say this, it's useless, because all the evil consequences have been made.
"Does that girl mean that the farmer and Princess Xiao is a snake?"
"Ha ha, so this story tells us that we must distinguish between good and evil, and can only reach out our helping hand to good people. Even if those wicked are benevolent and righteous, their nature will not change.
"Girl, it seems that everyone has misunderstood you. Why don't you explain it to the prince?" Looking at the cold light in Su Nianwei's eyes, Hongyan actually blamed herself for being blind for the first time.
A trace of disgust and sarcasm flashed in Su Nianwei's eyes; "Explanation? Even if I bit my tongue and committed suicide at that time, I couldn't wash away my innocence! Besides, everything doesn't matter anymore. What's important is that I'm still alive now?"
"However, everything is so important to me!"
Just as the two were talking, a calm, depressed and regretful male voice suddenly appeared behind them.
Su Nianwei and Hongyan turned around at the same time and saw the man in brocade in ink robe. The red smoke's delicate face turned red again, and her eyes became dodging; "See the prince with the red smoke!"
