Shattered Glass (Shang Li) - Chapter 12
The weather was already a bit hot. When Mei Li was outside the Ci Ning Palace, she stood at the bottom of the corridor, the morning sun was scorching hot on her body, her forehead was oozing sweat and she didn’t dare to wipe it casually. When Yu’an came to pick her up, Duan Ning’s face showed a trace of approval. In the past, Mei Li always rushed in without waiting for the spread. In fact, she met her ancestors and refused to wait honestly outside. She always ran around in the yard, tossing like a dog. No wink, no rules.
Maybe she didn’t know that her little path was indeed just a little trick in the eyes of the mothers and aunts in the palace. She was deliberately messing around just to show that her ancestors had favored her in front of everyone. She could be so rampant, hoping that others could look at her. Little did she know that this kind of ignorance is more disgusting, and even more ridiculous.
Now… She probably understands.
“Go in.” She smiled lightly at Mei Li.
Xiaozhuang looked at the **** who was carrying luggage behind Mei Li. There was only a small baggage, and he felt a sense of embarrassment. The child Miri…really pitiful. Especially now, being so soft and well-behaved is even more distressing! Perhaps, this medicine was too heavy for her, and even her vitality was hurt, Xiao Zhuang was a little embarrassed.
“Come on and drink some herbal tea. Is it hot?” She asked Miri to sit down on the kang beside her, and couldn’t help but wipe the sweat from her forehead with a handkerchief.
Miri smiled and shook her head gently.
“I live here for this time!” Xiaozhuang frowned and said, “No one in your house takes good care of you! Your bones…” She looked at Mei Li’s thin body, her eyes turned back to her pale but delicate. Mei’s little face, “must be treated well.”
After a pause, Xiaozhuang’s tone was strange, and his eyes flicked away, as if a little apologetic, “You also let Yu’an and the others teach you the principles and skills of living at home, it’s not too small.”
Mei Li stood up and thanked her for being blessed. She remembered the words of the men she had heard behind the paddock slope. The ancestor was going to marry her… Everyone couldn’t dodge, I don’t know, who would be so unlucky to be picked. She smiled bitterly. No matter who she was, although she did not have a family backer or a generous dowry, she would try her best to do her duty as a wife and treat him like a loved one… She can only repay in this way, she can only repay in this way.
There was a sound of greetings to An from outside, and Kangxi walked in with a faint smile among the kneeling crowd. Mei Li also bowed to him respectfully, preparing to quit with the people.
“Sit down, don’t have to go.” The emperor smiled and talked to her, although his eyes were not looking at her, his tone was very casual.
Mei Li had to sit down and gently beat her leg for her ancestors, so that she wouldn’t be so embarrassed to sit stupidly.
The grandfather and grandson said some gossip, Kangxi suddenly smiled, “How does the old ancestor think of Suying this girl?”
Xiaozhuang was taken aback for a moment, and he somewhat understood Kangxi’s intention not to let Mei Li retreat. Although he couldn’t bear to clarify the words in front of Mei Li, he couldn’t help her grandson’s wishes. “Fortunately, the temperament is supple, and the person is also handsome.” She exaggerated.
“At the moment the military budget is tight, Jiangnan’s finances are particularly important. This matter must be Zamurang. He has served in Jiangnan for many years and is the best candidate.” Kangxi said lightly. Although Mei Li didn’t quite understand and understood the emperor’s meaning, the court was about to fight with Junggar, and money was used everywhere. Most of the treasury’s money came from the south of the Yangtze River, and she had to have someone who was willing to work and know how to do it. She could not imagine how deep the water was here, but she knew that Suying’s Ama was such a person.
“Recently, Zamurang is a director of the Ministry of Households and he is very effective. I was trying to show his daughter a good kiss as a sign of encouragement. There is no royal nephew who is too suitable. Only Jing Xuan, who has the status, status, and talents. Yes, his marriage has been put on hold since Mongolia and his relatives gave up. The old ancestors have seen it too, Jing Xuan and Suying are also interested in each other,” Kangxi smiled, “I have told Jing Xuan this privately. He also knows the stakes behind it. Apart from these things, Suying herself is also very fond of it. Therefore, I have come to ask our ancestors to be a matchmaker. Wouldn’t it be more important, more auspicious and full than my grandson?”
Mei Li still smiled and beat her leg for her ancestor, her expression unchanged. When she heard the emperor say Jing Xuan’s name, her hand did tremble lightly and lightly, but she tried her best to restrain her from continuing to beat her leg casually. She… shouldn’t be surprised.
The emperor refused to let her go, just to let her hear these words, right? The smile on the corner of her mouth deepened slightly, but the emperor had been worrying too much. No matter how stupid she is, she can figure it out after two years.
The emperor also overestimated her dedication. She was also a girl, so how could she not give up on a man who would not even look at her for two years? She spent the last few pennies around her, begging the little **** to go to the emperor to stop him and let him see her…he didn’t come, and he didn’t even let the **** bring back a word.
She didn’t want to recall the feeling of loss and sadness when she pulled the little **** and asked “What did he say?” At this moment, she still suffers so clearly in her heart. Isn’t she suffering enough? She is going to laugh at herself!
She suddenly discovered that the emperor had already hinted at her many times before, but she was so stupid that she couldn’t understand, she was so stunned and she went on her own way. No wonder she was sad and no one sympathized. It is estimated that everyone was half-dead by her slowness and was too lazy to reason She, she felt bad luck and deserved it.
Now, she understood, listened very thoroughly, and very well, so that in the future she won’t be hurt or sad again.
“Well, this is a happy event, Jing Xuan should also get married.” Xiao Zhuang nodded, and in front of Mei Li, he couldn’t get enthusiastic.
“My grandson thought, after the spring hunting, I would ask the ancestors to make a decree and take care of the happy event before going to Junggar. Zamurang and Zhen both have a worry.”
Xiaozhuang nodded.
After coming out of the bedroom, Mei Li went to the side hall to quietly tidy up her belongings. There were not a few things, and she packed them up in a while. She was very satisfied with her mood at the moment, calm and indifferent, hearing his marriage news was just like hearing a stranger.
Before she had a sip of tea, the maid came and asked her to go to the Queen Mother. Mei Li was a little confused. The ancestor told her to rest on her own just now. Is there something urgent?
Before entering the door, I heard someone in the room talking with a low smile, there are guests?
In the bedroom, Xiaozhuang is holding the maid standing beside her favorite flower plant with a smile on her face, and a woman with a back figure is slightly familiar is holding a small pot and carefully sprinkling water on the blooming flowers. They talked and laughed very intimately, and even Aunt Yu’an, who is usually unsmiling, rarely showed a smile and spoke in a low voice.
“Come here girl.” Xiao Zhuang nodded to Mei Li, and the woman turned around with a smile when she heard the sound, and looked at her with a kind smile.
Mei Li pondered for a while, and then remembered that she was Yong Hyuk’s mother, because she was very grateful for Yong Hyuk’s kindness to her, and she was very sincere when she greeted her.
“Or you will serve flowers and plants.” Xiaozhuang walked back to sit on the kang, and said with a smile in response to Ru Fujin, “Yu’an doesn’t have you two times.”
“The slave maid just likes to fiddle with these.” Ying Rufujin laughed and said humbly.
“As the saying goes, women who can grow flowers will pick men, and Yu’an will suffer here.” Xiaozhuang teased, provoking Yingru and Yu’an to laugh.
Yu’an also pleaded: “It’s a slave and maidservant who sincerely serve the ancestors all his life.”
“Ying Ru, I’m so happy you come back, come here often! Take good care of the few flower seedlings in my garden, I can’t believe in the gardeners.” Xiaozhuang said while drinking tea, Ying Ru laughed repeatedly promise.
“This is Xiao Meili. It’s time to come out of the cabinet after seeing it. It’s the child I’ve been taking with me.” Xiaozhuang smiled and pointed to Meili affectionately. “Teach her more so that you can get along well in the future. I can believe in your skills as a husband and a child. I can see how you teach Yonghe’s child!”
Ying Rufu Jin was taken aback for a moment, and apparently heard a little eyebrow in the half-joking and half-serious words of the Empress Dowager.
Mei Li looked at Ying Ru Fujin’s slowly turning pale face and the stiff smile at the corner of her mouth, and she felt sorry for her. Although the ancestors said very tactfully, I understand everything that should be understood. She even saw Ying Rufujin secretly look at Aunt Yu’an with an annoyed look, and seemed to ask her for confirmation. Aunt Yu’an nodded helplessly.
Her ancestors’ painstaking efforts towards her, she seems to have come to realize only recently. Miri lowered her head and bit her lip. To her, the rumors in the capital, the contempt in the clan… The ancestors naturally knew that she was afraid that she would suffer from anger by marrying someone else’s house. After thinking about it, she chose Yingru to be her mother-in-law, monk-faced Buddha face… …Ying Rufu Jin will never treat her harshly even if he is reluctant in his heart.
She also deeply felt the embarrassment of the ancestors, for fear that Ying would react strongly to Fujin, and the thing was screwed up, and she was the one who was embarrassed and suffering. That’s why she hinted vaguely and circuitously, leaving enough room for her.
Mei Li clenched her fists, she should really cherish the painstaking efforts of her ancestors, no one would be sorry if she was not sensible and obedient. If she could understand earlier, how could it… fall into today’s field.
