Shattered Glass (Shang Li) - Chapter 9

The sky was blue and the birds chirped happily in the still thin morning light, making the spring morning a little fresher and warmer.

Jingxuan walked out of his tent after freshening up. Last night, the emperor temporarily ordered him to return to Beijing to deal with urgent matters. He wanted to leave early and got up earlier than usual.

After the fire was about to go out, he saw her…

She leaned on the tall felt pad, but people squeezed into a ball, giving people a feeling of weakness and helplessness for no reason. Her head was tilted against the felt pad, and a line of teardrops hung on the beautiful thin cheeks, which made people feel soft. , He even clenched his fists to deliberately curb his inexplicable pity and guilt.

He looked at her and felt strange.

When she smiled at him, when she looked at him calmly, when she knew how to be a doctor, when she cherishly ate the dirty food, he was not too surprised, but at this moment…he suddenly found out that she No matter how boring, she is just a little girl of sixteen or seventeen. He never thought that she would be fragile. He deliberately said so many things that hurt her, did so many things that hurt her, and she didn’t have the face to ignore the past, entangled, and entangled him so hard.

She always bullies and hurts others. How can she be vulnerable?

He thought of the wound on her arm, of her stern cry in her dream in the middle of the night. Frowning his eyebrows, and then unfolding indifferently, what does all this have to do with him? ! Did he tell her to trample the old lady to death? Was he asking her to provoke things everywhere to provoke God’s anger?

Yes, in order to get rid of the ancestor’s finger-marriage, he fell into trouble, and he owed her, he had already paid off!

“Come here, get the horse!” He indifferently ordered, and a smart guard had brought him a horse.

Mei Li slept unsteadily, and was awakened by the sound of words. Her blurred eyes gradually gathered, and she saw Jing Xuan who was taking the reins not far away.

Behind the felt pad, Yonghe woke up dimly, wiped his face and jumped up, “Brother Jingxuan, are you going back to Beijing?”

“Yeah.” Jing Xuan turned on his horse, chic and neat, “You are so good to take care of your ancestors. There is Ziyu on the emperor’s side. If you don’t understand, ask him if you are unfamiliar.” He looked at his horse and stroked his mane. .

“Yes.” Yonghe nodded.

Miri stood up slowly, she…what should she do? There will be more times to see him in the future, she has been coy and dodging, but it makes each other more embarrassed, right?

“You…” She used this title to speak to him for the first time, and she paused, “Be careful on the road.” She blessed him with courtesy.

Jing Xuan squeezed the reins and let out an indifferent “um”.

Isn’t it what he wants to be alienated like a stranger? well. He clamped the horse’s belly, the horse neighed, and ran away quickly.

Even for a short while, his heart was stabbed.

Before, Mei Li would not talk to him in this way, and would not be so courteous. She was pushed into a dark cage like a domineering little beast, and when she was released, she became a gentle and compliant rabbit. What kind of pain was forced out of this radical change?

He speeded up his whip, but the wind around her ears still couldn’t take her to scream at night: Help—help me—

The emperor led the men to round up the prey as usual, but the women did not get excited for the first day, and they all played in the forest slope. Mei Li went to Xiaozhuang early to wait and groom. Xiaozhuang pityed her for not sleeping all night, and specially waited for someone to wait for her. She sleeps and rests. Mei Li also wanted to take the opportunity to avoid the crowd, but didn’t make any refusal.

The one who was sent to serve was a young lady of the court, and Miri told her to stay on the side of the cave, and immediately pushed her to wake up as soon as she screamed in her dream.

By the time she woke up, it was past lunch time, the men were tired after a morning of riding and shooting, and the women were tired and tired, and they all returned to take a nap. The little palace lady was too sleepy and shaky after guarding her for so long, and Miri apologized to let her go down to rest.

She skillfully combed a simple bun for herself. There was no one to serve in the Anning Hall, and she had long been used to taking care of daily chores by herself.

Except for the guards on patrol, no other people were seen in the camp. Although the sun is already a bit scorching, it is very warm, and when it shines on the body, the whole person is soft and comfortable. Mei Li strolled towards the river, enjoying the freedom that no one cares about, and couldn’t help smiling.

Sitting by the river, watching the gurgling water, she couldn’t help but grab some small stones and throw them into the water one by one, stirring up small splashes. She couldn’t help but laugh softly. Two years of loneliness and dull life, let her learn to entertain such a little boring self, otherwise… will really go crazy.

After throwing a handful of stones, she caught a glimpse of a pair of gorgeous boots when she turned around to pick them up again. She was taken aback and looked up at the owner of the boots. The sun was shining on the handsome figure of the man, and she squinted her eyes to see his face clearly.

She was stunned, how could it be him? Didn’t he return to Beijing?

She quickly stood up and no one was around. She was really embarrassed when she wanted to ask for peace again, and froze in place for a while.

He looked at her in silence. She was obviously taller, but because of her too slender figure and sharp face, she looked even more petite than before. Now the long eyelashes no longer stare at people arrogantly, they are always half-dangling, densely covering the clear and quiet big eyes. Those eyes were originally very beautiful, and the brilliance in them was obviously dimmer than before, but somehow they had an indescribable charm, which seemed humble and stubborn.

“Here, here you are.” When he handed the paper bag to her, he felt upset and irritated. He felt sorry for her for having suffered a lot in the past two years. She used to ask him to buy her various snacks, and he would ignore all the troubles. Now that I think about it, it is a bit too much, so I should compensate her, just for once. !

“What is it?” She didn’t reach out to take it.

“Zongzitang!” He hummed coldly, very displeased.

Her hands hidden in her sleeves trembled lightly and lightly, and the long-lasting memory for her was touched… She knew that he was outside the South Study Room waiting for the emperor to meet his subjects, and sneaked into the wing quietly. He was sitting. Reading a book by the Kang table, she jumped over and lay on his back, clasped his neck tightly, and acted fondly at him willingly.

He scolded her, told her to let go, saying that it was not proper to be seen by the **** and palace maid.

Instead, she triumphantly threatened him to buy her zongzi candy before letting go. She remembered that she was lying next to his ear, telling him loudly: “I love zongzi candy the most!” She hoped that such a loud volume could reach his heart so that he could remember her favorite food and be able to be on the street. When I saw this thing, I subconsciously thought that she likes to eat.

She smiled bitterly.

When she first entered the Anning Palace, sister Zi Qing sneaked to see her and brought her a large bag of zongzi candy. She was ecstatic and asked if Jing Xuan asked her to bring it, because she had only told him. Sister Ziqing froze, she thought it was acquiescence.

She collected the candy carefully and was reluctant to eat it. She would only eat one when she missed him very much.

Later, she heard several court ladies and eunuchs chattering and mocking her wishful thinking and shamelessly on the aisle outside the yard, only to realize that the ancestor wanted to take the opportunity of this catastrophe to give her to him, saying that as long as she became At home, when you become a wife and mother, you will naturally be calm and mature, and no longer cause trouble. In order to get rid of her, Jing Xuan actually asked the emperor to severely punish her, and she only had a three-year ban.

She couldn’t believe it…he was so tired of her!

No wonder she looked forward to it day and night, not expecting him to see her.

When Sister Zi Qing came to see her again, she actually knew the answer, so she didn’t give up and asked if Jing Xuan gave her the sugar.

Sister Zi Qing cried and asked her not to be obsessed with her anymore and not to torture herself anymore.

At night, she still couldn’t believe it and didn’t want to believe the truth. Take out a candy and put it in your mouth. It’s bitter! That sugar is even more bitter than Coptis! From the mouth to the heart.

She doesn’t believe in evil, and eats another one the next day… It’s still so bitter!

When she buried the candy under the corner, she finally believed in reality. From then on, she never eats candy anymore, because she doesn’t want to relish the bitterness!

“Thank you.” She looked at the bag of candy in his hand that had been bought two years late, “I don’t like zongzi candy anymore.”

Jing Xuan frowned in boredom, and threw the paper bag into the river without hesitation, it was superfluous! He is really superfluous!

“Brother Jing Xuan.” When he turned and left, she suddenly stopped him. He froze for a moment, did she call him Jing Xuan brother? It seemed that no matter how she called him, familiar or alienated, he felt awkward.

He turned around coldly and looked at her. If she thought that this bag of candy was his change of heart, he would definitely tell the truth: He has never had a good impression of her! In the past, now, in the future!

She looked at him lightly and smiled, that kind of smile again! The kind of smile that made his heart throbbing inexplicably!

“Brother Jing Xuan, you… don’t have to feel guilty.” She said, instead, she seemed to be comforting him. “Everything I have encountered is due to my own responsibility. On the contrary, I am grateful for the two years of life in the cold palace, so that I can live more calmly, and I feel that I have some explanations for the old woman.”

He was silent.

“Brother Jingxuan, I have never had a chance to thank you, the family property left by my parents…”

He turned his head and left, not wanting to hear what she said, he didn’t want to hear a word!

Looking at his leaving back, she suddenly felt a deep sorrow. She always looked at his back.

This was the last time she called him “Brother Jingxuan”.

All that should be said, she and him should be relieved… From then on, she and him are strangers, there is not so much past, and there will be no future.

When she sees him again, she will call him prince or you.
