Chapter 094 Acacia 4
The willow shadows outside the house, outlining the tranquility and desolation of the dusk. The evening wind swept the fallen leaves, and the remnants of the sun fell in love with the branches, and a trace of floating held my mind a little tighter.
"I want to trust, but... I can't rest assured." In the room, Li Shimin spoke quietly.
"I want to have it all, but I'm afraid that the other party will live up. I don't know that you have failed the other party." Changsun Wuji moved the map and still said. This is also an extremely difficult war, and talking to Li Shimin also hinted at me: "From the time of the military camp, I saw that she treated you affectionately and affectionately. It's just that Your Highness is too afraid of losing, so he is always worried. Whether you gain trust or fail by mistake, every step you take is careful. Why don't you be happy and get unexpected gains? But if your Highness can't let go, please let go, because you are still deeply in love in the end.
"Only when I can withstand the mentality of doubt can I truly trust. Now I am struggling with fear on that edge. Wuji, you are indeed more meticulous than I thought. I... try it." Li Shimin patted his forehead, temporarily threw the disturbing things aside, and stroked the map on the other side of the desk. "Now the most important thing is how to calm down Liu Heiqi. Let's learn about their battlefield situation first so that we can eliminate these thieves as soon as possible."
For him, fortunately, love is not everything. Fortunately, everything is not love.
I turned around gently and left quietly. Walking into the place where Chengqian Hall just belonged to me, the hall was empty and pitiful. It's not that the decorations arranged by Qinger are not good enough, but that I feel that I am the only one in this hall, which is really desolate and lonely. At this time, it was dark, and I lit the lamp by myself, shining weakly on a corner of the hall.
"Mo Zhaoxun?" Someone outside the door called gently and slowly walked into the hall. It was Qing'er. Seeing that there was only one lamp in the hall, she took the candlelight and lit all the lights around her. The hall immediately lit up, and I was not used to it. She waved to the outside and came in two lines of palace eunuchs and two bodyguards. She stood in front and said with a smile, "Mo Zhaoxun, I have selected a few palace maidservants to serve your daily life. Look who is unsighted, and I will change them immediately."
It doesn't matter whether it fits or not. It's good to have innocent thoughts. I swept around and stopped my eyes on the little bodyguard at the end. I immediately got up from my seat and came to the bodyguard. He lowered his head tightly and looked very nervous. I looked at him and asked tentatively, "Zhou Molan?"
He raised his eyes in shock, and I recognized him at this glance. Zhou Molan suddenly knelt on the ground and panicked and said, "Mo Zhaoxun is kind to slaves, and I vowed to do my best to Mo Zhaoxun!" Don't... Don't drive slaves away."
I feel guilty when I hear him like this. How can I be kind to him? Those times I just pretended to use him for him, and I didn't really help him. It's just that he was too simple, so he chose to believe me. Now for this so-called "en", he has changed from a jailer to a guard and assigned to my hall. He must have worked hard.
I couldn't bear to say it, so I had to protect this clean idea, and I also decided not to pretend to him anymore. I picked him up and smiled and said, "How could I think I would drive you away? Is it possible that in your eyes, I am the person who climbed to the high place and forgot the low place?" You are good in the hall, but I won't punish you lightly if you make a mistake.
Zhou Molan suddenly smiled: "Yes, I won't cause trouble to Mo Zhao's training!"
I nodded with a smile, and the Qinger beside me suddenly said, "Mo Zhaoxun, please let me stay in your hall. After being together for so many years, I'm not around you at this time, and I'm not used to it. I can take care of you while taking charge of the palace people. I won't be tired!"
"It's my blessing to have you." I took Zhou Molan and Qing'er's hands together to show their unity. Suddenly, Qing'er's face paused, and she looked down at each other's hands. Her cheeks were slightly red, and her hands were a little dodged. Qing'er is younger than me and has never had any contact with a man. Now I hold her hand with Zhou Molan, and it is inevitable that I blush and panic. Zhou Molan didn't think about it, and her bright eyes fixed on me. I smiled gently and let go of my hand. The two immediately retreated and stood on one side.
Qing'er looked out the door and reminded him, "Mo Zhaoxun, it's almost time for dinner. According to the regulations, the first day is to eat with everyone, and this time should be over.
Although I know all the people in Chengqian Hall, today is my first day as the new Lord, and it is stipulated that I need to eat with everyone to get familiar with each other. I moved out of the hall, followed by two maids, and the rest were left in the hall.
When I arrived, Princess Qin was already waiting in the hall. I hurried forward to salute her. She helped me and said, "I'm here to wait for you. You don't have to panic so much."
Specially for me? I didn't know what it meant, so Princess Qin whispered to me that Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji were discussing a big event. I'm afraid that this first meal would wrong me. It was also to tell me to calm down and not be seen as a joke on the table.
Oh, Li Shimin didn't come to eat this newlywed meal with me.
At this time, people from all sides came in from the outside, and some maids clapped their hands, and the maids came in one after another with plates, and soon set up the big wooden table. Princess Qin first sat down, and I sat down with several others. Princess Qin said that Li Shimin had a different banquet tonight. Everyone present was slightly shocked, but soon calmed down. Only one person suddenly looked at me, as if he was sorry and ashamed.
"Your Highness didn't care about the Chengqian Hall that Mo Zhaoxun entered today." Wenizi looked worried and seemed to care about me.
"Your Highness should focus on assisting national affairs. What's strange about this?" Yan Jingwen over there curled her lips and said. This question can't go on. Weinizi turned his eyes and looked at the people on the table and said, "Don't Mu Fengyi pay attention to Mo Zhaoxun? He actually said that he was not feeling well, and he was still fine."
Wenizi, whom I knew before, didn't talk much, but since she entered the Chengqian Hall, she gradually showed her soft and spear-like nature. It's really unreasonable that Mu Yan didn't appear, but I don't think she did it on purpose. Princess Qin patted the edge of the table and said angrily, "Think about personal matters. Don't say anything that will mess up other people's thoughts. Wei Zhaoxun said that it's better to change people's habits behind their backs, and others are called the police!" After saying that, she turned to me again and said, "Mu Fengyi was really surprised this time. You don't have to go to her, just wait for her to come to see you."
I bowed my head and answered. Princess Qin took the jade chopsticks to eat, and everyone began to eat. This meal was very depressing. Although everyone here knew it, they were suddenly not used to sitting at a table and eating. I barely ate some vegetables, scooped up the soup and drank it slowly until everyone finished eating.
dispersed separately, and I walked on my way back to the hall. The two halls next to me are Wenizi and Muyan's. Muyan's hall is still lit. Looking from the shadow of the window, it is very calm inside. Thinking of Weinzi saying that she was not feeling well, I was a little worried. While she was about to sneak a look, her door suddenly opened and a figure flashed in front of it. I stopped and was shocked. The slender and dexterous figure was really familiar. My heart moved, and I slowed down and turned back to my bedroom.
In the next few days, Nian'er sent medicine on time. I recuperated in the bedroom for a few days. I felt that my body had recovered well, so I often looked outside the hall happily.
In the afternoon, I was reading in the hall. Princess Qin took four other people to go to the apse to enjoy flowers. The weather outside the window was very nice, so I had the desire to take a walk, so I followed. This time, Muyan still didn't come together. I quietly asked others, and they said that she was still sick in bed. I nodded clearly and followed Princess Qin to the apse.
The backyard of Chengqian Hall is simply decorated, and there are not many kinds of flowers and plants that make people look complicated. The paths on both sides extend to a pavilion, on which there are maids of honor holding pastry and teapots. Walking to the pavilion, there were only four stone benches around the stone table. Princess Qin sat down first, followed by Concubine Yang. I quietly retreated to one side, and the remaining two seats were supposed to be reserved for Wei Wei and Yan Jingwen.
Wei Wei sat down next to Princess Qin, and Yan Jingwen also sat down. Suddenly, she caught a glimpse of me and stood up with me. Princess Qin looked at her inexplicably. She took my arm and said with a smile, "I've been sitting for a long time a few days, and my sisters don't have to pay attention to me. In fact, I met Mo Zhaoxun once, and now I just stand close to talk about the past.
"So that's it." Princess Qin nodded, smiled and said, "Then Wei Zhao will come and sit down."
Weini came forward with a smile and poured a cup of tea for each of them; "I'm the youngest on this table, and I'll toast a cup of tea for all three sisters."
Yangfei next to her took the jade porcelain teacup and smiled and said, "It was Yan Chenghui who gave up this son. You should also have a toast to her. The sisters didn't say that they sat at the table and didn't care about anywhere else."
Although Yang Fei smiled gently when she said this, the foundation was very strict. Wenizi's face was ugly by her. She pulled her smiling face and poured a cup of tea and walked to Yan Jingwen. She held a teacup in her hands and offered it: "Sister Yan, thank you."
Yan Jingwen took over the teacup and drank it all, but inadvertently said, "Don't thank me. I just want to get together with Mo Zhao."
The people on the table were stunned, and Wenizi's face was black and could only force a smile. Although Yan Jingwen's words were unintentional, they just showed that although she was older than me, she was willing to stand with me, and in her eyes, it was natural for Wenizi, who was at the same level, to offer her tea. On the other hand, that person is just her friendship, not really giving it to Wenie.
Weizi touched both walls of Yang Fei and Yan Jingwen for a moment, and his face was stiff, so he had to immediately turn around and put the teacup and sat in his seat without saying nothing. Although she looks lovely, there is always a feeling of being covered with gauze, which makes people feel unreal. It seems that Wenizi's nature is not very pleasing to the people in this hall, and he has set up two enemies in just a few days.
These hours of flower appreciation are very harmonious except for the first light and dark fight. This August season is a good time for flowers to bloom. Summer flowers and autumn flowers bloom together, and the bright sunshine shines the flowers just right. It's just that the weather is a little sultry. I felt sleepy after standing in the pavilion for a few hours, so I asked to resign and go back to the hall.
On the way, I saw the delicate and beautiful hibiscus flowers that bloomed early, and stopped for a while. The maid behind me was happy to see me and picked the only blooming hibiscus flower and presented it to me. The flowers are the most beautiful when they grow on the green branches. When I pick them, they soon wither. I looked at the flowers alone in the wind and had to take them.
Back to the temple, I called someone to take a porcelain bottle to get water and soak the branches of the hibiscus flower in the water. Inadvertently, I found that the book that had been placed next to the table had been moved to the middle of the desk and opened the page. I picked up the book and read it: Zihui misses me and is involved in my stinging. If I don't think about it, is there no one else?
I still couldn't help feeling sleepy. I didn't think much about it anymore and lay down on the bed.
