Chapter 23 The truth is unclear, and the affection is unclear
In the dark hall, a lonely figure sat on the bed, looking a little sad, and the faint candlelight kept shaking, making the whole room sincerely become a little dim.
Outside the window lattice, gusts of evening breeze blow, bringing a lingering fragrance and refreshing people's hearts. Under the faint starlight, out of nowhere, there were bursts of birdsong, "cooing and ......" one after another, which was extremely terrifying.
"Bilan, Bilan." Qing Yao estimated that she was tired of sitting, or she was annoyed, so she hurriedly called.
Bi Lan, who was leaning on the railing outside the hall, heard Qing Yao's call and hurriedly ran into the hall.
"Princess, what's the matter with calling slaves?" Bi Lan first saluted Qing Yao, and then asked.
"I'm really tired, but the noisy cicadas and birds outside the window make me sleepless, you go and get it." Qing Yao touched Qingsi's messy forehead, closed her eyes and said uncomfortably.
"No, the slave will go now, please wait a moment for the princess." With that, he rushed out the door.
After a while, I heard the courtyard full of chatter, which became quiet and pleasant, making people indifferent, leisurely, and natural.
"It's finally quiet and I can get a good night's sleep." Qing Yao moved her sitting, stray body for a long time, and said softly.
Suddenly, the door of the palace made a "squeak", and Bi Lan stepped on the cautious footsteps and slowly moved to the Yimei Palace.
Because it was too dark in the hall, Bi Lan couldn't see whether Qing Yao was asleep or not, and only vaguely saw the figure sitting on the bed just now, lying down, not moving, as if she was sleeping, but it didn't seem to be.
"Princess, princess." She whispered to Qing Yao to see if she had slept or not.
The sound of silver bells, even if it is soft, but in the huge hall, there are echoes everywhere, as if someone repeats and repeats. But even so, she on the other end didn't respond.
She thought to herself, "I must be sleeping, that's fine." I can get a good night's sleep too. So, he tiptoed back to the bed and fell asleep gently.
Did you sleep, I don't know, if you slept or not.
The sound of the wind outside the window blew slightly again. The pomegranate flowers swing one by one, dancing left and right, like a shy girl, dancing happily.
A rooster's crowing pierced the sky, signaling the departure of night and the dawn of dawn.
The woman in the temple struggled to hold on to the edge of the bed and sat up. She patted her forehead lightly, thinking about what had happened yesterday, but her head didn't know what was wrong, and the more she tried to remember, the more she couldn't remember.
"Bilan, Bilan, where are you?" She looked left and right and shouted, but her voice seemed to have fallen into a bottomless pit, but there was no result and no response.
Bottomless pit, bottomless pit, bottomless hole, love is bottomless, voice can't come out, people naturally can't escape.
"Princess, you call me?" There was a sound outside the door, but there was no sound in the room. Strange, if not her, then who?
"Bi Lan, Bi Lan, come on, I, cough cough cough ......" It turned out that the voice came from the side hall, and the original voice came from her.
Bi Lan suddenly remembered, there was another person in the side hall, and he had been lying down for a long time. She ran there at a gallop, not daring to slack off.
She slammed the door open, and there was a person sitting on the bed in the hall, his forehead was also messy, and he was also patting his head, and his face was a little painful.
"Sister, what's wrong with you? Is it better? Bi Lan was panting, and her face was flushed, and she just spit out two sentences, which was very laborious.
"My head hurts a little, but I can't remember what happened. Yesterday, once, what did I go through, what did I do? She said with her head still patted, her eyes closed, and her face hideous.
Bi Lan has been in the Yimei Palace, never left, let alone went there with them, how do you know what she has experienced, what has happened, the only thing I know, is that she looked haggard yesterday, and her mood was painful, as if she had been hurt.
"I really don't know what happened to my sister yesterday, but my sister may be too tired, she ate a little too much, and she was so drunk that her chest was stuffy and her head hurt a little." Bi Lan said as she put her hand on Qing'er's temple and pressed it gently.
"However, I vaguely remember what happened, but my head hurts a little, and I really can't remember it."
"If you can't think about it, don't think about it, it's yourself who thinks too much, some things, I'm afraid the clearer and more real it is, the more it hurts, so don't take it too seriously." Bi Lan pressed it lightly and persuaded her with kind words. Qing'er's somewhat stiff head eased a little, and she sighed meaningfully.
"Yes, forget it, forget it, and it's a relief to stop remembering."
"What about the princess? I didn't go to wait on the princess, she, did she ever blame me? "Qing'er said a little bit of a stumble, a little scared.
"Don't worry, sister, with me, I have already told the princess that you are a little unwell, and I am afraid that you will not be able to wait for the princess. Didn't expect ......"
"What didn't you expect?" Qing'er was so excited that she interrupted Bi Lan before she could finish speaking.
Bi Lan seemed to be frightened by this sudden sentence, and was stunned for a while, and then spoke again.
"Unexpectedly, the princess was very considerate of you, and didn't say anything, but asked you to take good care of your body and recuperate."
"That's good, I'll get up and wait for the princess." Qing'er was in a hurry to find her clothes and was ready to hurry up to wait for Qing Yao.
She had some trouble dressing the floor, and her body was still a little weak at first glance.
"Sister, if you are tired, just lie down for a while! There is no rush for this moment. The princess hasn't gotten up yet. "I guess I saw that Qing'er was weak, and I was a little distressed. Bi Lan put her hand on Qing'er's hand and said lightly.
"It's good that the princess hasn't gotten up, otherwise the princess is up, and I'm still lying here, but it seems that I have become the master, isn't this a deliberate humiliation of the princess! Bilan ......"
Qing'er pulled out the hand that Bi Lan had suppressed, and then put it on the hand that had been placed on hers, and patted it a few times.
"You should know that the princess is the master, we are all just slaves, the princess is kind, kind to you and me, kind to everyone who serves her. But that's all because the princess is kind and has a good temperament, and we are the princess's maids, and our duty is to take care of the princess. If we take the princess for granted, and neglect the princess because of this, it is a big mistake. The princess did not blame me for my mistake yesterday, and I am very grateful to her. If you don't go to ask for sins early today, how can you get by? ”
"Sister, I understand, it turns out that I have always been wrong, I mistakenly took the princess's kindness to us as a matter of course, I should have known that the princess was kind to us." Bi Lan seemed to have suddenly realized, a little ashamed.
"It's okay, as long as we know in our hearts what to do. Now, are you going to stop me? ”
"But," Bi Lan couldn't speak for a long time as if she was choked by something.
"But I'm still a little weak, am I?" Qing'er knew what Bi Lan wanted to say, so she repeated the words that she had stuck in her throat.
"Yes, exactly. But although we have to take good care of the princess, if our body is like a weak willow, won't it cause trouble for the princess? Therefore, it is better to cherish yourself first. ”
"No, the princess is the supreme princess, if I neglect the princess, death will not be enough to make up for my mistakes, not to mention that I am only a little weak now. Let's go. The pearlescent light in his eyes was a bit like a drop of rain.
"Alright, alright, let's take care of the princess."
"Hmm."
At that moment, on that picturesque face, the eyebrows and eyes were crooked, the smile was like a flower, and there was no water ripple.
Time is fast, fast and frightening, and before you know it, it will pass in an instant.
"Princess, you're awake." Looking at the sleepy-eyed and somewhat dizzy beauty, Bi Lan and Qing'er said almost in unison.
"How can you be like this, my head hurts, who did you take care of me yesterday. Why I don't remember anything. What's going on? ”
Qing Yao held her forehead, grabbed the hands of the two of them, and said with difficulty.
"I ......," Bi Lan said softly.
Qing Yao quickly and excitedly shook Bi Lan's hand, so that Bi Lan was startled.
"Bilan, what do you say happened to me yesterday? Why, blank, all vague. I...... What the hell is wrong with me? The hand he had just held became tighter and tighter, and his eyes were also full of tears, as if he was in pain.
If you forget those things, forget them, and remember them to hurt others and hurt yourself. Perhaps, a misunderstanding, forgetting is no longer a misunderstanding, sisters are still sisters, and old people are still old people.
"Princess, the slave only remembers that you were a little tired and a little painful yesterday, as for what happened, the slave and maid are really unclear and unclear, and ask the princess for forgiveness." Bi Lan hurriedly pulled out Qing Yao's clenched hand, put her hands on her belly, and knelt on the ground, looking a little scared.
But she should know that Qing Yao will not do anything to her, and she should also know that Qing Yao is not angry with her.
"Well, forget it. Help me up, change my clothes, and go to the emperor's brother." ”
"No."
Qing'er and Bi Lan slowly helped Qing Yao up, helped her to the bronze mirror, and practiced skillfully according to the same form and the same movements as before, only to see the green silk slowly rising and hanging down, the jade fingers moving again and again, and a stunning beauty sitting in front of the mirror, very charming.
"Am I so good-looking?" Qing Yao stroked her cherry-red pink cheeks and asked unconfidently.
"The princess is naturally beautiful, if the princess dares to be the second in the world, I'm afraid that no one will dare to call the first anymore?" Bi Lan knelt on the side and put on the snow jade silk veil that had been prepared with both hands, in this palace, except for some personal maids and people who were extremely close to Qing Yao, I am afraid that no one will see her true face anymore. Since the nightmare in the Cui Cemetery that year, once she goes out, Qing Yao must be covered with a veil, no one knows the reason, only that since then, the princess's eyebrows and eyes have become a little different, because of the princess, everyone does not dare to chew the root of the tongue, but not only that, they all think that it is the eighteenth change of the female university, who can think so much.
"Princess, put it on, although you are going to see Your Majesty, you still have to meet many people, don't forget what the Taoist master said that year. Once you see someone, you must put on a veil, and those who are not close to you must not show their true faces, otherwise there will be calamity. Qing'er put her arms around the princess and said in detail.
Everyone thought that it was because the princess was too beautiful, and they were afraid that it would become a reason for various countries to provoke trouble, and they would become a disaster like Daji and Bao Xi, so they wore a veil, but there was no one except Ling Feng and the hermit, and they knew that there was another secret in it.
"Well, give it to me." Qing Yao took the veil in Bi Lan's hand and gently covered her cheeks,
"Let's go." She said lightly, not knowing the joys and sorrows.
"Bilan, bring a paper umbrella and come with me." Qing Yao turned her back and said to Bi Lan, she couldn't see her face clearly, she couldn't distinguish her expression.
It's strange that in the past, Qingyao was always with Qing'er and brought her with her, but today I don't know what happened to call Bilan. Is the resentment in my heart unresolved, or pretending to have amnesia.
"Bilan, take good care of the princess." Qing'er said very seriously.
"Sister, don't worry, I will take good care of the princess." Bi Lan saluted Qing'er and said very seriously.
"Say no more, let's go." Qing Yao said impatiently.
"Sister, then the princess and I will leave first, take care." Bi Lan held an oil-paper umbrella in her left hand, and held Qing Yao in her right hand, looking back in the direction of Qing'er from time to time, the scene at that time was too similar to that night, perhaps, it was just a difference in time and place, and it felt a little different. That night, it was these two people, Bi Lan also looked back at Qing'er from time to time, and Qing'er also looked at her with a smile every time Bi Lan looked back. It went on like this for a long, long time, and I don't know how long it was.
What Qing'er's heart is at this time, I guess no one knows very well.
A cloud floats by in the sky, and I don't know if it will cover the scorching sun in someone's heart, bringing coolness and comfort.
A cloud of smoke can't cover all the moods, cut off contact, and break hearts.
Where were you when I came?
If you are not there, please contact me,
Don't wait for me to forget you,
They came back to me.
then
We will never be the same again,
Because
Strangers, never to meet again.
