You Yuji was startled and looked away awkwardly. In the past, she didn't know that he was a man and she called him sister intimately. Now that he knew, he called her sister again, and this light "sister" seemed to be covered with a layer of mist.
The cool night breeze blew the snow-white skirt of Si Que gently towards You Yuji, and every time it was just a little bit away from touching the skirt of You Yuji. You Yuji lowered her eyes, looking at the snow-white skirt that floated closer and closer like water waves, and changed the subject: "Why did you come out with Baisui so late?"
Baisui was still young, and obviously didn't know his own name yet. He had been held in Si Que's arms for a long time, and he felt a little sleepy. The cool wind made him uncomfortable, so he buried his face in Si Que's arms.
"I take medicine every day, and I always have all kinds of medicine around me. It will eat randomly from time to time, and it might accidentally eat my poison." Si Que pinched Baisui's neck, and his eyes fell on You Yuji, "So I want my sister to help me take care of Baisui temporarily."
Si Que held Baisui by the back of his neck and lifted him up to You Yuji, who hurriedly took him. Baisui was suddenly exposed to the cold night wind of early winter from the warm embrace, and he tucked his tail in uncomfortably. The next moment, he was in another warmer embrace, and he immediately moved comfortably in You Yuji's arms and found the most comfortable place to nestle.
Not only warmer, but softer too!
“Meow…” It called out softly like a spoiled child, and then rubbed its face in You Yuji’s arms.
Obviously, Baisui is a heartless creature. It does not recognize its master and will follow whoever makes it feel comfortable in his arms.
Si Que looked at Bai Sui for a while and frowned.
—A little unhappy.
"It's windy at night. Do you want to come over to my place and sit for a while?" You Yuji asked softly.
If it were in the past, she would have directly invited Si Que to Tan Xiang Ying Yue for a cup of hot tea. But now that she knew he was a man, she had to be more cautious.
"No."
Si Que looked at Baisui and said slowly, "How enviable."
"Hmm?" You Yuzhi raised her eyes and looked at Si Que, obviously not quite understanding the implication of Si Que's words.
"I envy it for being able to live a hundred years." Si Que touched Baisui's head, looked up at You Yuji and smiled at her: "Sleep well, sister."
You Yuji gently caressed Baisui in her arms and watched Si Que's departing back.
In the past, she and Si Que felt a sense of sympathy because they were both from a fallen country. She also felt that he, despite being a princess, had to condescend to be a concubine, so she felt too much pity for him.
Just yesterday, she found out that Si Que was originally a man.
Si Que originally thought that You Yuji would avoid him and call him a pervert. But You Yuji felt even more pity for him.
"I envy it for its longevity."
—Thinking about what Si Que said before he left, You Yuji recalled the rumor that Princess Que would not live past her twenties. It was hard to know whether the rumor was true or not, but during this period of contact, she had indeed seen with her own eyes how sick he was.
If she remembered correctly, Si Que should be nineteen this year.
You Yuji sighed softly, holding Baisui who had fallen asleep in her arms, and turned back to Tan Xiang Yingyue.
Si Que returned to Yunxiao Pavilion, took off his coat that was stained with cold and handed it to Liu Feng, and then coughed intermittently again.
The cough is annoying.
Tingyun came up from downstairs, holding a bowl of thick brown medicine and handed it to Si Que. Then he stood beside Si Que politely and watched him drink the medicine.
Si Que drank up the medicine in the bowl and handed the empty bowl back to her.
Si Que walked to the window and pushed it open. Although he was weak and afraid of cold, he liked the cool breeze. If the cool breeze hit his body, he would feel cold and feel more comfortable.
Tingyun hesitated for a while, but did not retreat. Instead, he looked at Si Que who was standing alone in front of the window and said, "Your Highness, if you want that woman, then here it is."
silence.
Tingyun waited for a while, and only heard the wind flowing in from the window. She didn't dare to say anything more.
Si Que looked at the mountains and tree shadows in the distance and squinted his eyes.
In the dark night, even with the stars and the moon shining, the swaying shadows of the trees and the overlapping mountains are still eerie, like terrifying beasts with bared fangs and claws.
Yes, that is it
Why? Use his already exhausted body to find a woman to satisfy his sexual desires, and then die peacefully
"Pack up and leave the capital tomorrow night." Si Que said.
Tingyun was just about to go downstairs, but after hearing Si Que's instructions, she immediately responded with a "yes".
Si Que added: "Before you leave, deal with Chen Anzhi."
Tingyun was puzzled for a moment before asking, "Let me play with you?"
Si Que acquiesced.
Tingyun knelt down, bowed, and turned to leave.
Overnight, what happened in the mansion yesterday had spread everywhere.
First, Chen Shunzhi was shocked. His father was furious and threatened Chen Anzhi with the title of Crown Prince. In addition to Chen Anzhi, the King of Jinnan only had Chen Shunzhi as his son.
Lin asked nervously, "Is this... possible?"
This was something I never dared to think about, but now it has become a beacon of hope from tens of thousands of miles away.
Chen Shunzhi shook his head repeatedly: "Remember this, this is a serious matter, just pretend you don't know anything about it! Remember this!"
Lin said hurriedly, "What kind of fool do you think I am? I will not mention this to anyone except you. I also wanted to advise you not to let your hopes get carried away. Let's just live our lives in peace. If such a day really comes, it will be the blessing from our previous life. It is normal if it doesn't happen."
When Chen Shunzhi heard his wife's words, he felt relieved on the one hand, and at the same time, he was urged by his wife.
"Okay, I have to go out and pick up Lingyan." Chen Shunzhi stood up.
Lin stood up and helped him straighten his clothes.
—Chen Lingyan went to her grandmother's house a few days ago and returned home today. Chen Shunzhi needs to pick her up.
Cuiyu went to find Lin Yingying happily early in the morning.
"That pretentious cousin has to give up her desire to be the main wife this time." Cuiyu laughed her ass off, "I'm so happy. Look at her behavior in the past... In front of the prince, she was a snow lotus on the top of a snowy mountain, but in front of us, she turned into a ferocious man-eating plant. Hahaha, she was so arrogant in the past, but now she has to be a concubine like us."
Lin Yingying was also happy.
Fang Qingyi had not been very nice to her and Cuiyu in the past. But since no one is perfect, it is common for them to gloat over other people's misfortunes.
"It's quite sad." Lin Yingying grabbed a handful of melon seeds and ate them.
The two have different personalities. Cuiyu always loves to offend people with her mouth, and today she was even more unforgiving: "The maid in my room helped me keep an eye on it last night. That fake Baihua met the one from Yunxiao Pavilion last night."
Lin Yingying heard vaguely, but didn't know the details, and immediately became interested: "Tell me more, tell me more!"
"The maid was far away, so I didn't hear what was said clearly. I only saw that fake white flower's face turned green after seeing the one from Yunxiao Pavilion! In the end, she ran away crying, and the prince didn't chase her, letting her run away on her own! The one from Yunxiao Pavilion who usually keeps quiet is also amazing, she actually let the prince kneel down and wipe the floor at his feet!"
It was not known whether it was because of the darkness of the night that the servants who were watching everywhere did not see clearly, or whether it was because the message was passed back and forth and something went wrong. The scene of Chen Anzhi squatting in front of Si Que to wipe the snow mud was now spread as him being discovered by the person in Yunxiao Pavilion because he was expressing his love to his cousin, and he actually knelt at the feet of the person in Yunxiao Pavilion to coax her.
Cuiyu and Lin Yingying laughed for a long time.
Obviously, the two of them were not infatuated women in the brothel who were attached to Chen Anzhi. On the contrary, they had seen a lot of human nature and the fickleness of the world in the place of prostitution, and they really hoped that Chen Anzhi would redeem them, but their deep affection was just a pretense.
All the "love" is not because he is Chen Anzhi, but because he is the prince.
"Let's go, let's go. We have to go to Tanxiang Yingyue." Lin Yingying stood up.
Early in the morning, You Yuji sent someone to tell several concubines that she would invite them to attend a play today.
You Yuji invited a troupe of actors to the mansion today.
Lin Yingying and Cuiyu both loved to be lively, so they ate fruits and snacks while listening to the opera. Chunxing also came, and she sat aside in a proper manner, eating less cakes.
You Yuji sat in an armchair, watching the performance on the stage, distracted by annoyance.
She urgently needed a child and didn't want to delay for a moment, but choosing a child was not as easy as she thought. She couldn't just pick someone randomly.
She originally thought that the father of the child should be of good character, preferably smart, and even better if he was good-looking. But time was running out, so how could she tell a person's character
Because she didn't want to have anything to do with the child's father, she was unwilling to look for someone she already knew.
She sighed quietly, and suddenly thought that if the father of the child had an incurable disease, it would be appropriate for him to die after she gave birth to the child. On the one hand, she would save a lot of trouble, and on the other hand, she would leave a bloodline for the other party. It was the best of both worlds.
But where could she find a seriously ill person with good character, talent and good looks
A white figure suddenly flashed before my eyes.
The soft handkerchief in her hand fell slowly and quietly to the ground. You Yuji raised her hand in surprise and covered her lips with her slender fingers.
She looked at the stage, where actors in colorful costumes were singing songs. The strong colors gradually blurred into a mass.
What are they singing
You Yuzhi listened carefully. She had never heard the tune before, but the lyrics seemed to be adapted from an old poem written by Si Que.
You Yuji heard her own heartbeat twice, and her ears seemed to go deaf for a moment. She could not hear the lyrics on the stage, and then she could not hear anything.
The sky was clear in the morning when I went to the opera, but it started snowing heavily in the afternoon.
By the evening, the snow still did not stop. You Yuji put on a furry lavender cloak, picked up a box of red plum wine, and went to Yunxiao Pavilion.
The cool breeze blew the hood back. In an instant, the falling snow fell on You Yuji's crowed hair.
She walked to Yunxiao Pavilion. She didn't know where Liufeng had gone. She only saw Tingyun picking up herbs on the first floor.
"Your Highness is upstairs?" You Yuzhi asked.
Before Tingyun could answer, the sound of Sique's piano suddenly came from upstairs.
Tingyun didn't need to answer, You Yuji went straight upstairs. She walked up the stairs, slowing down her steps, trying not to disturb Si Que playing the piano.
When they got upstairs, You Yuzhi stood behind the pearl curtain, looking at Si Que who was playing the piano behind the table, and listened attentively.
Si Que was playing a farewell song.
"It's snowing, why are you here, sister?" Si Que lowered his eyes, his gaze fixed on the strings. At the moment of separation, he didn't want to raise his eyes to look at her.
You Yuji was silent for a while, as if hesitating whether to wait until the song was over before speaking.
In the end she didn't wait.
As Si Que played the piano, she spoke softly, "Sister came here to ask you to do me a favor."
Si Que let out a faint, obedient smile and said, "Sister, just say whatever you want. I will do whatever I can."
He thought, there should be nothing he can't do.
You Yuji pursed her lips gently and said softly: "I need a man who can give me a child."
The melodious piano tune suddenly went wrong, and then stopped abruptly.
Si Que glanced at his index finger, where there was a drop of blood from being cut by a string. The wrong string had broken.
Si Que raised his eyes and looked at the graceful figure behind the pearl curtain.
There was a sound of the bead curtain swaying gently.
You Yuji came in through the curtain and walked slowly towards Si Que.
She came slowly, her skirt swaying gracefully at her feet.
Si Que saw that You Yuji's hair was a little wet with snow.
You Yuji walked up to Si Que and put down the box of red plum wine in her hand. She glanced at the candlestick on the table and remembered the short white candle in the guest room of Yunping Temple the night before.
She turned her head and smiled at Si Que, then leaned down, leaned close to Si Que's ear, and whispered softly: "Sister's feet, do they look good?"
