Shattered Glass (Shang Li) - Chapter 26
A long line of eunuchs carried boxes of wedding supplies into Meili’s small courtyard. Hongling was so busy that he was sweating profusely, and the eunuchs were still carrying them continuously. Come in. Many little palace ladies huddled at the entrance of the courtyard to watch the excitement, changing from the mocking expressions of the past, they all admired enviously, deliberately amplifying the voice of whispers, and flattering the people of Meili to hear clearly, “Lord Qing is so kind to Gege. !”
Mei Li leaned on the high pillow and lay halfway on the couch, silently turning the pages of the book in her hand, turning a deaf ear to everything outside the door. The miscellaneous talks and joke books that Yonghe gave her have now accumulated a thick pile, and they have accompanied countless nights when she dared not fall asleep.
“Gege, Chengyi Baylor is here.” Hongling ran in, wiping his sweat with her handkerchief, with a look of surprise. Ten thousand people did not expect Chengyi Baylor would visit his family Gege. He even greeted his ancestors only during the Spring Festival. I will come only once during New Year’s greetings.
Mei Li was also a little surprised. She sat upright and stood up for a while before she got up to greet her. Cheng Yi had walked in slowly from the outside.
After looking at each other speechlessly, Cheng Yi frowned slightly, and glanced at Hong Ling who was stuck there. Hong Ling’s back was cold, and he immediately retreated with a heart-warming blessing. Chengyi Baylor is the same as Qing Wangye, the more expressionless, the more frightening. When exiting the door, Hongling also spontaneously closed the door, always feeling that Chengyi Beileken came to see Grid, there must be very important things.
“Brother Chengyi, sit down.” Mei Li personally poured a cup of tea for him. He must have rushed back from the paddock quickly, and a thin layer of dust floated on the plain robe.
Cheng Yi sat down in the chair, but didn’t drink tea. He didn’t say much. He took out a small brocade bag from his arms and handed it to Mei Li, “Take it.”
Mei Li took it politely, and did not want to disappoint him before pretending to open it with curiosity. Jinpa wrapped a piece of yellow sheepskin with dense patterns painted on it. There were characters and gossip, which were messy, like a liar. Make a mysterious spell. She didn’t want to explore, but was just curious why Chengyi gave her such a piece of stuff.
“This is the map of’Eight Divisions and Eight Formations’.” Cheng Yi explained briefly, “The emperor sent me to look for a long time, and the relationship is a huge treasure. After I found it two years ago… After my sin, I can’t wait for the day to go to Dzungar.” He smiled coldly.
Mei Li’s hand holding the sheepskin shook violently, and she almost couldn’t hold it. She understood what he meant. This “eight-part and eight-array” picture was very important to the emperor and even to the Qing Dynasty, so important that Chengyi could use it to save his life.
“The emperor will return to Luan tomorrow. You give him this. Even if you can’t be a princess, you can still be a normal wife.”
“Brother Chengyi…” Mei Li held back her tears, her heart seemed bitter and sweet. There were still people in this world who were willing to think for her. She felt the blessing in her heart, but she couldn’t accept it. He gently held his hand, and put the sheepskin in his hand, “I can’t want it, you can stay.”
This is his life-saving treasure, she can’t accept it.
“Take it.” Cheng Yi smiled for a long time, then tucked the sheepskin back into her hand. “Now… I don’t need it anymore. He… won’t kill me.”
She still wanted to refuse. He took a deep look. Cheng Yi shook her head and interrupted her, “I’m going to lead troops to the border to be stationed and wait for orders. I want to come… as a brother, I haven’t done anything for you. You take it to the emperor, and he naturally understands what I mean, and restores your title of Shuoge. Although you are not Dafujin, your rank is higher than her. At least you will not be humiliated by her in the future.”
Knowing that she was discouraged, Chengyi could hardly say a little bit. Maybe she has no intention of calculating the future at this moment, but… the days will continue, and he smiles bitterly. This is a cruel day that never stopped passing for anyone or anything.
Fate has repeatedly blamed her, and there is only so much he can help her.
“Miri, even if you are working hard for me, you have to do what I say.” He sighed. The future of Miri… In fact, relying on this treasure map will not help, what he can do…Really Only so much.
Miri was silent for a long time, and finally nodded.
At night, lying in the quilt holding a sheepskin treasure map, she was actually full of fear for the years to come, her numb mood was broken by the words of Brother Chengyi, she… just flanked by Fujin, little wife, in the cold palace, like this She sees a lot of people. Those who have been beautiful and those who have not been beautiful have the same ending after being discarded by their men. Their eyes were what she feared most when she first entered the cold palace. They were lifeless and ghostly. They were doing one thing every day, waiting for death.
Only those who have experienced the darkness…will be afraid of it.
Finally, she took the treasure map and walked on the way to the main hall of the emperor. At least she had to try it for herself, at least she should not disappoint Brother Chengyi’s kindness to her… She was afraid.
Maybe she went too early. The palace lady **** who was in charge of cleaning just finished her work. There was silence in the palace, and even the singing of birds sighed to her.
After walking past Jingxuan’s residence, she unconsciously speeded up her pace, but…a few steps later she stopped and walked alone. Her pace was light. The palace wall here was just to partition the road and was extremely thin. She clearly I heard Suying’s voice.
“…Jing Xuan, can’t you let her in after marrying me?” Suying begged almost humblely.
“…” Jing Xuan did not answer.
“Please.” Suying cried, acting like a baby and begging for mercy. Mei Li seemed to see her soft face with a rainy expression, and anyone would pity her.
“What effect does this have on you? She is just a feast.” Jing Xuan seemed to feel a little distressed, and said lightly.
She is just a feast.
Mei Li stood stiffly on the palace road separated from them by the wall. She wanted to escape, but she seemed to be nailed in place by a heavy hammer.
“She… is also Grid.” Suying choked, “She is also deeply loved by her ancestors. More importantly…” She cried, clasping his waist in aggrieved sadness, he likes Mei Li! In order to get her, she went so far as to spend a lot of time, and even scolded her Ama! She leaned in his arms and cried, “Jing Xuan, I’m so scared! Sharing you with other women… I dare not complain, I’m just afraid… I’m afraid… I will have nothing in the future.”
“Nothing?” Jing Xuan also hugged her lightly trembling in his arms, “You will become my true wife, and the emperor needs you to be my true wife. How come you have nothing if you have me?”
“Jing Xuan, do I own you?” Suying asked innocently.
“Yeah. I promised you, it won’t be the same.” He smiled.
“Jing Xuan…” Suying wept and sighed, “I am very afraid of the years to come.”
Mei Li raised her eyes and looked at the slowly drifting clouds in the sky, only so that her sore eyes would not shed tears.
Suying… also pitiful, she was as scared as she was.
She heard what Jing Xuan said to Zamurang and knew that Suying and Jing Xuan’s marriage emperor had other meanings. She turned around while leaning on the wall, and couldn’t see where the road between the walls of the long palace ended. Why should she embarrass the emperor?
Destiny is determined to hurt her, so why should she make senseless struggles… Even if she becomes a flat wife, even if she can regain her title of Harmony, so what? She is still just a feast!
She is only Jing Xuan’s side Fu Jin!
She made the emperor, ancestors, and even Chengyi embarrassed. After all, Chengyi had kept this treasure map privately for two years, and he knew the emperor’s heart and insisted on disobeying her holy will, the emperor could really forgive him repeatedly ?
Why should she be stubbornly struggling? In vain.
