A Precious Pearl in the Imperial City - Chapter 79
Sun Caiyao was dreaming again.
This dream is exactly the same as the dream she had before getting married.
The swaying candle, the angry highness, and the Ming Jiuzhu playing with the incense burner, everything is a recurrence of dreams.
“Is it the prince who killed His Royal Highness Chen?”
“Who killed King Chen?!”
“Is it you, the Concubine Ning, or… the prince who has been relegated to the common people?”
“You want to kill this king?”
Waking up from her sleep, Sun Caiyao heard the sound of rain outside the window, got up, shaking hands, poured a cup of cool tea, and poured her head up.
Her hands were shaking so much that half of a cup of tea was spilled outside.
“Prince concubine, what’s the matter with you?” When the maid waiting was heard, she opened the door and came in. Sun Caiyao looked pale and sitting at the table: “Did you have a nightmare?
“Stop.” Sun Caiyao looked at her with scorching eyes: “I’m fine, I can’t bother your Highness.”
“but……”
“What I said doesn’t work?” Sun Caiyao’s shoulders trembled slightly, but her eyes were particularly bright.
The maid was shocked by her appearance, took her robe and put it on her: “Prince concubine, it’s cold outside, go to bed and rest.”
Sun Caiyao ignored her and opened the window, listening to the sound of rain outside, her mind was confused.
What happened to the Royal Racecourse was really just the work of His Royal Highness’s biological mother. His Royal Highness didn’t know it at all?
“The prince and concubine, servant girl…shall I change you a pot of hot tea?”
“No.” Sun Caiyao turned her head and smiled at the maid: “I was just shocked by the dream, nothing is wrong, just rest for a while.”
When the maid quit, she barely cheered up and sat by the window and listened to the sound of rain all night until dawn.
“Prince concubine.” White Peony walked into Sun Caiyao’s room and waited for her to wash, and found that she was neatly dressed and sitting in the room: “The slave and maidservant got up late, please forgive the prince.”
“You didn’t get up late, it was because I woke up too early.” Sun Caiyao stood up and said, “It was raining all night outside, and it must have been covered with flowers. You accompany me out for a walk.”
“Please wait for the prince and concubine, the slave and maidservant will come and get the umbrella.” Having been a slave and maid for so many years, she has developed the habit of not asking much about what the master wants to do.
Sun Caiyao nodded.
She stood up, shook some of her numb legs, and applied a layer of rouge on her face to make her complexion look normal.
The white peony walked slowly behind Sun Caiyao, and the more doubts he got: “Prince concubine, this is the way to the Kylin Palace.”
“Really?” Sun Caiyao smiled: “I heard that there is a beautiful apricot blossom forest outside the Kylin Palace. I don’t know what the scenery looks like after the rain. You must be familiar with the harem after you have been waiting for your mother and concubine for so many years. right?”
The white peony bends his knees: “The prince and concubine, the servants and maids are only court ladies. If there is no order from the master, you cannot walk in the harem.”
Passing through a rockery, Sun Caiyao stood outside the apricot blossom forest, looking at the snow-covered apricot blossoms: “It’s a pity that such a beautiful flower fell into the mud all over the ground.”
“It’s great. In a few months, the tree will be full of apricots, but I don’t know whether the apricots in the palace are sour or sweet.”
“Princess, the servants and servants have secretly tasted them. The apricots are very sweet. When the apricots are ripe, the servants will pick them for you to taste.”
“Hush, keep your voice down, don’t be heard by the aunt in charge.”
“It’s okay. When I heard it, I said I wanted to eat.” Jiuzhu carried the skirt and stepped on the bluestone road, smelling the scent of apricot blossoms in the garden, she was in a particularly good mood.
The ladies of the court followed behind her happily, but they didn’t forget to hold the umbrellas and skirts for her, and then smiled secretly at the falling flowers in her hair.
“Wang Concubine.” The Equinox whispered in Jiuzhu’s ear: “There seems to be someone in front.”
Jiuzhu stopped, and the laughing court ladies stood well behind Jiuzhu, as if the laughter had never existed before.
“Five younger siblings.” Sun Caiyao crossed the sea of flowers and walked to Jiuzhu: “It’s me.”
“Sister-in-law.” Jiuzhu blessed Sun Caiyao. Sun Caiyao held her hand and bowed her knees in return: “Five younger brothers and sisters, come here to enjoy the flowers?”
“I heard the sisters in the palace say that the apricot blossoms in the garden are very beautiful, so I will come and take a look.” Jiuzhu saw that Sun Caiyao’s eyebrows were a little haggard, “Sisao should pay more attention to rest on weekdays.”
“Thank you five younger brothers and sisters for your concern.” Sun Caiyao touched her cheek: “It’s a rare chance to meet here, younger brothers and sisters will walk with me.”
Jiuzhu smiled: “Sister-in-law, please.”
Flowers are falling all over the ground, and some green grass buds have emerged from the mud, which is exceptionally verdant and pleasant.
The two walked side by side for a while, and no one spoke. Jiuzhu has always been embarrassed by others, and he will not be embarrassed. On the way, he did not forget to pick up a flower branch that was thrown on the ground by somebody.
“Brother sister.” Sun Caiyao stopped and looked at the dilapidated flower in Jiuzhu’s hand: “Your relationship with His Royal Highness Chen Wang is really good.”
Jiuzhu glanced at her in surprise: “Don’t you have a bad relationship with the fourth prince?”
Sun Caiyao smiled: “Of course it is also good.”
“Everyone is born with his own destiny. Instead of staring at others, it is better to care about yourself.” Jiuzhu finally knew why she thought Sun Caiyao was weird.
Because she was always staring at her, staring at her with a complicated look that didn’t know what was expected to happen.
“Fate is destined by God?” Sun Caiyao couldn’t help asking, “Is there no accident?”
“Sister-in-law thinks that fate is destined?” Jiuzhu shook his head: “I understand fate is not a stone standing still, no matter where you go, you can meet it.”
“The fate is that if you go east, you will encounter a peach forest, and you will be amazed by its beauty. If you go west, you will encounter a pear garden, and you will also be conquered by its beauty. This fate is not a peach Lin, not the pear blossom forest, but the beauty.” Jiuzhu smiled: “You come to the pear blossom forest and want peach blossoms. When you come to the peach blossom forest, you want pear blossoms. It is not fate, but force.”
Sun Caiyao stared at her blankly: “For you, is King Chen a peach blossom or a pear blossom?”
“His Royal Highness, he is the beauty in my eyes.” Jiuzhu smiled: “Peach blossom can be him, Lihua can be him, and the beauty of all seasons can be him.”
Sun Caiyao suddenly understood that if the death of King Menglichen really had something to do with His Royal Highness, Ming Jiuzhu would choose to kill him for revenge.
It’s just that she still doesn’t understand that Ming Jiuzhu in the dream has never seen King Chen, so why would he treat him like a life?
Will a woman fall in love with a man she has never seen before?
“Sister-in-law.” Jiuzhu looked at her: “I don’t know what is hidden in your heart, but I would like to advise you in a simple way. You can try to let go of many things in the world and reconcile with yourself.”
“If there is the only hairpin in the world, it originally belonged to you, but you don’t know its existence, so if someone gets on board first, would you blame this person?”
“What I don’t know, being listed first by others means that it didn’t belong to me originally, why should I complain.” Jiuzhu laughed: “Not to mention it’s just a hairpin. Without this one, there would be something more suitable for me. The hairpin.”
“What if it’s a human?” Sun Caiyao continued to ask, her expression full of eagerness to try to get an answer: “For example… For example, His Royal Highness Chen Wang?”
Jiuzhu was taken aback for a moment. She looked up at the apricot blossoms on the treetops and thought about it for a moment: “If it is your Highness, if the person who gets him, treats him very well, and your Highness likes her very much, I will not complain. .”
Because at the beginning, she never thought of getting her Royal Highness.
“I understand.” After a long time, Sun Caiyao sighed: “Ming Jiuzhu, I’m not as good as you.”
“What’s wrong with Sisao?” Jiuzhu felt that Sun Caiyao was wrong: “Should I ask someone to help you get an imperial doctor?”
“It’s okay.” Sun Caiyao smiled reluctantly: “I just envy the affection between you and your fifth brother.”
Jiuzhu looked at her and added in a low voice: “The question you asked just now is that your Highness is in love with other people. If it is now, I definitely don’t want others to take your Highness away.”
Now, then.
The flowers bloom and branch, and the words are divided into two ends.
“Who would take me?” Wang Chen walked in from outside the forest, bent over and took Jiuzhu’s hand, and looked at Sun Caiyao with a smile but a smile: “If there is any conflict between the fourth sister-in-law and the fourth brother, please husband and wife. People close the door and communicate slowly, don’t ask my princess.”
“The Sixth Palace of Zhang is quite far from the Kylin Palace. After walking for so long, be careful not to fall your legs.” Wang Chen lifted his chin: “Yang Yiduo, send the four princes back.”
Sun Caiyao’s face paled: “Why should my fifth brother be so aggressive? If we say a few words between the concubines, the fifth brother doesn’t need to guard against this.”
Jiuzhu noticed that there was some guilty conscience in Sun Caiyao’s expression, she didn’t want to talk to Sun Caiyao anymore, so she pulled the sleeve of King Lachen: “His Royal Highness, let’s go.”
“Five younger siblings…”
“Sister-in-law, husband and wife are one body.” Jiuzhu made no secret of it: “You wouldn’t be in this situation, you want me to speak for you, do you?”
The moment she looked over, Sun Caiyao thought of the look in her dream.
Calm, indifferent, leaving no room for it.
She took a step back in silence, and watched Wang Chen and Ming Jiuzhu hold hands and leave.
“Prince concubine.” Bai Peony moved the umbrella over Sun Caiyao’s head: “The rain is heavy, let’s go back.”
“White Peony.” Sun Caiyao asked, “What do you think Ming Jiuzhu is like?”
The white peony lowered his head: “The servant girl dare not.”
Sun Caiyao glanced at her: “I forgive you, say.”
“Princess Chen is very pure and kind, and she should be… a very good person.”
“Nice person?” Sun Caiyao let out a sarcasm: “I think, such a person can’t make her anxious.”
People who are pure to the extreme are a kind of scary in themselves.
“His Royal Highness, why don’t you bring an umbrella when you go out?” Jiuzhu moved half of his umbrella to the top of Wang Chen’s head: “Hair is all soaked.”
“It’s okay.” Wang Chen wiped his handkerchief at random: “Father, the emperor asked me to bring a bunch of gifts back, saying that he would accompany his daughter-in-law back to the door. You can’t be a son-in-law.”
“Wait.” Jiuzhu took the kerchief in his hand and wiped his forehead and bridge of nose: “There are so many rules for returning to the door?”
“Of course.” Wang Chen took the umbrella and held it up firmly: “Tomorrow morning, we will get up early and come back in the evening.”
That way, I can stay in Ming’s house for a while.
“Oh.” Ming Jiyuan was lying on the wall as the sky dawned: “According to the rules of ordinary people for marriage, today should be the day when Jiuzhu returns to the door.”
“Three brothers.” Ming Cunfu almost cried out: “It was just dawn, you woke me up just to say this?”
Ming Jiyuan ignored him and continued to mutter: “If someone told me at this time, how good would it be for Jiuzhu to come back?”
“Grandpa!” The manager shouted as he ran: “Miss is back!”
“Sister is back?” Ming Cunfu suddenly disappeared from sleepiness. He looked up and saw that his third cousin was already running away.
He climbed over the fence with difficulty, and tremblingly jumped off the fence: “Brother, wait for me!”
