proud wife and concubine

Li Yuyao and several young eunuchs and maids in her own palace were doing Cuju in the back garden. Recently, the days have become hotter and hotter every day. After a while, Li Yuyao sweated a lot, her clothes were sticky and greasy, and she felt very uncomfortable.I was already in a bad mood, and now I am even less interested in continuing to play.

"You guys just play for a while, I don't want to play anymore." Li Yuyao kicked the ball over, straightened her clothes and prepared to go back to the palace.

"Aren't you just having fun, why doesn't the princess just play...?" Yun'er held the ball, still a little bit reluctant.

Li Yuyao was a little impatient: "If you don't want to play, you just don't want to play. You go back with me and help me take a bath and change clothes."

"It's only been playing for a while..." Yun'er muttered, obviously reluctant, but recently Li Yuyao has become more and more majestic towards her, she doesn't dare to disobey as usual, but in her heart Unhappy, he muttered again: "Tulan is idle in the palace now, why don't you let her work..."

"Then you just stay here." Li Yuyao felt that it would be worthless to be angry with a maid, so she just said something coldly, and then recruited Tong Fu and the other two young maids to go back.

"Princess." Turan had been waiting outside the gate of the palace for a long time, and when he saw Li Yuyao came back, he quickly bowed his knees sideways and made a half salute.

Li Yuyao nodded slightly, even if it was a gesture of "exemption from courtesy", they have been getting along for a long time, although the basic court etiquette is essential, but there is also a tacit understanding of keeping everything simple.

"Why did the princess come back so soon?" Turan asked, seeing some fine beads of sweat oozing from Li Yuyao's forehead, he quickly walked to the back of Li Yuyao's side, took the small round fan tied around his waist, and fanned Li Yuyao lightly.

"The weather is too hot and dry." Li Yuyao said, "Go and prepare hot water, I want to take a bath and change clothes."

"Your maidservant has already had the water boiled just now, and it will be all right now. The princess drinks tea first, and I made it fresh in the morning, and you can take a bath after drinking it." Turan obviously thought very carefully, and Li Yuyao's restless mood calmed down a little. Some.

The place where Li Yuyao lives now is where the former princess once lived. It has all the necessary things, and it is convenient. For example, the pool for bathing is not spacious, but it is enough.Apart from the two court ladies who were responsible for changing the water and maintaining the water temperature, Li Yuyao only left Turan to serve.

Throwing her body in the warm petal water, with the gentle heat on her face, Li Yuyao closed her eyes comfortably.

"Tulan, Turan?" Li Yuyao yelled twice, not seeing any response from Turan, a little strange.When I wanted to look back to see what happened, I heard Turan reply: "Yes, yes, the servant is here."

Li Yuyao felt relieved, so she narrowed her eyes again: "Don't stand there stupidly, rub my shoulders for me."

It was usually not Turan's turn to serve Li Yuyao in the bath. After all, Li Yuyao had been served by Yun'er since she was a child. Today was the first time Turan served her, so it was inevitable that she would be a little rusty.

"Yes." Turan's face was hot, and he even trembled a little when he stretched out his hands to Li Yuyao's smooth and naked skin.Fortunately, Li Yuyao had her back to Turan, so she failed to notice her embarrassment.

Turan's fingers were slender and strong, covered with a thin layer of calluses. Li Yuyao let out a long and comfortable sigh, tactfully and softly, which made Turan's heart tremble.

"It's the end of March, and I've grown another year." Li Yuyao said.

Turan was not sure whether she was talking to him or talking to herself, so he only gave a small "hmm".

"Fifteen this year, sixteen next year, I really can't imagine myself marrying a woman, looking like an old man..." Li Yuyao picked up a pink flower bone and smashed it to pieces.

"The princess is still...very young." Turan could only choke out this sentence, she felt that she was really stupid: she obviously worked hard every day to read Han Chinese articles and poems, but it was really useful. When I was there, I couldn't think of anything.

Li Yuyao chuckled a couple of times, not knowing whether to laugh at her hypocritical grievances, or at Turan's clumsy comfort.

"Tulan, you have been in the Central Plains for so many years, what do you think of this place?" Li Yuyao changed the subject.

Turan didn't understand why Li Yuyao asked this question, but he answered honestly and seriously: "This place is very good, the food is good, the use is good, the scenery is good, and... the people are also very nice." .”

"Compared to Gaoche? Is it better than Gaoche?" Li Yuyao tentatively asked.

"It's... not comparable, it's so different." Turan shook her head. She wanted to say that no matter how good the place is, it's not as good as her hometown, but she didn't dare to say it because she was afraid that Li Yuyao would be unhappy.Against his will, he said: "Gaoche is a small country, how can it compare with this place..."

Li Yuyao felt hopeful when she heard this: Turan doesn't seem to want to go back to Gaoche too much. Now that Gaoche has perished, it's better to let her give up the idea of ​​returning to her motherland and stay in the Central Plains...

"Are you telling the truth?" Li Yuyao asked.

"Of course." Turan was glad that Li Yuyao could not see her guilty eyes.

"Since the Central Plains is so good, do you ever think about staying here?" Li Yuyao pretended to mention it casually.

The movements of Turan's hands stopped immediately, and Li Yuyao was inexplicably nervous.

"Plop, plop, plop..." Turan felt his heart was about to jump out: Princess, what does this mean?Do you want me to stay and serve her?She has always said that she will send me back to Gaoche when she gets married, why suddenly... Although I really miss my hometown, but it is better to be with the princess for the rest of my life than to go back to Gaoche alone. …

"Slave, slave..." Turan really wanted to say that she was willing to stay by Li Yuyao's side to serve her, no matter whether she married or left the palace.But when she spoke, her lips and tongue seemed to weigh heavily, and her heart jumped into her throat, as if such an answer would reveal some shady thoughts.

"Look, there are so many handsome men in our Central Plains. I heard that you and Yun'er went to the Dianxiaochang to watch the officials play kickball a few days ago. If you like it..." Li Yuyao encouraged.

"Princess." Turan interrupted Li Yuyao.

"what?"

"You said you would let the slaves go back to the high cart, and the slaves will go back to the high cart." Turan tried to be calm, but her slightly trembling voice betrayed her and reached Li Yuyao's ears, naturally thinking that she was frightened by herself.

"I just said it casually, why are you so scared?" Li Yuyao couldn't explain why she felt a little bit disappointed, even a little wronged, which was obviously expected.

"Although Liang Yuan is good, it is not the hometown of long-term love. I understand. You don't have to worry, I will do what I say, and I will let you go as soon as possible."

"I..." Turan's intuition told her that Li Yuyao was upset, and she panicked.

"Okay, clean it up, I don't want to wash it anymore." Li Yuyao waved her hand, signaling that she didn't need to say more.

After taking a fragrant hot bath, slipping into the bed, and having a good night's sleep, for Li Yuyao, it was probably the happiest thing in the world.

After she woke up and stretched a lot, she realized that the sun had already set.

"It's been a long sleep." Li Yuyao got up, touched her stomach, felt empty and hungry, and then remembered that she slept without lunch.

When Li Yuyao went to bed, she would let the maids and eunuchs wait in the outer room, and only Tu Lan, Yun'er and Tong Fu could enter and leave the inner room at will.

"Tu..." I wanted to call Turan to come in and help her dress, but I didn't expect to find my voice a little hoarse as soon as I opened my mouth.

"Don't catch a cold..." Li Yuyao was a little depressed, and decided to drink a glass of water before calling Turan.

He pulled his shoes and walked out, the cubicle was also quiet, no one was there.

"It shouldn't be, Yun'er can't sit still, Turan should sit here and guard." When Li Yuyao was puzzled, he vaguely heard someone speaking in a low voice. The light came obliquely into the house, reflecting two graceful figures on the carved wooden window in the west.

It was Turan, Li Yuyao didn't need to think about it, she recognized it just by the voice, but the other one didn't know who it was.

"Seeing that you are in a much better mood recently, I feel relieved. I was frowning a few days ago, thinking that the third princess was angry with you."

Although the volume was deliberately lowered, Li Yuyao could hear the speaker clearly because of his cool voice.

Three princesses?Could it be me?Li Yuyao was playful and did not interrupt their conversation, instead she walked over on tiptoe and leaned against the pillar by the window, so that she could hear clearly without being noticed.

I would like to see what Turan would say about me in front of others, Li Yuyao thought secretly, with a little expectation in her heart.

"No, that's my own business. The third princess is a good person, and I'm the one who is unhappy." Turan explained, with some urgency in her tone, for fear that others would misunderstand her princess.

Li Yuyao had a smile on her lips, thinking that this Turan was quite a protector.But I don't know how long ago the girl said the other day. If it refers to the winter solstice, it really has something to do with me.

In those few days Li Yuyao was unhappy because of her father's hints about the marriage selection, not only could she not get comfort from her biological mother, Concubine Li, but had a quarrel and broke up.Coincidentally, I saw Yun'er and Tulan arguing, Li Yuyao is so angry, it's okay to be wronged outside, and these maids will not let her feel better when she returns to her one-acre land.

When he got angry, he didn't care about the straight and wrong, and directly asked the two of them to kneel on the steps outside the hall for three hours.In the freezing weather, the stones are cold and hard, not to mention three hours, even one hour is too much for people.Yun'er was still not convinced at first, knelt for an hour, then cried and begged for mercy, saying that she was wrong, and begged Princess Nian to take pity on her because of her many years of love.After all, Li Yuyao was not a cruel person, and her anger disappeared, so she wanted Turan to admit her mistake, so let's forget about it.

Unexpectedly, Turan, who has always been sensible, seemed to have taken the wrong medicine that day, with his head down, but his neck was stiff, and he didn't say a word, obviously expressing his dissatisfaction.Li Yuyao's anger flared up just after she got off: Even Turan learned to show my face, I'm so useless!In the end, Turan really knelt in the cold wind for three hours.Since Li Yuyao and Turan had known each other for the first time, they started a cold war, so that Li Yuyao went out of the palace to stay at Li Yuerong's residence without taking her with her.

Recalling the events of that day today, Li Yuyao couldn't help feeling a little regretful when she thought of Turan's pale face and legs so stiff that they couldn't move.

"That's fine, I'm relieved. Since Liu Ya'er left... you..." the girl spoke again, interrupting Li Yuyao's thoughts.

Liu Yaer?Li Yuyao tilted her head and thought for a while, feeling that the name was very familiar.Ah, by the way, it's Turan's good sister, the little maid who was sent to the house by her fourth brother Li Zhi.At first Li Yuyao wanted to help Turan meet her, but later Turan mentioned her less, and she gradually forgot about it.

"I've put it down and don't miss her anymore." Turan's tone was a little erratic, as if he was talking about the distant past.

Li Yuyao always feels that something is wrong, why can the good sister "let go"?After much deliberation, probably because Turan's Chinese is not authentic after all, so the choice of words and sentences makes people feel a little weird...

"I hope so," the girl said with some helplessness in her tone, "otherwise, even if you can't let it go, there's nothing you can do about it. We people probably did something bad in our previous life to serve as slaves in the palace. Still love People who should not be loved are like this catkin, where the wind blows, they have to go."

"Fell in love with someone you shouldn't? Turan still has a lover?" Li Yuyao was shocked.

"Jiu'er, do you know something? There is news about Liu Ya'er, right?" Turan asked hastily.

The girl called "Jiu'er" smiled "puchi" and said, "Didn't you just say that you let go and don't miss her?"

"No...it's not...well, don't embarrass me, just tell me!" Turan didn't know how to express her complicated state of mind. She said "let go" because she was sincere. Day by day, she thought of Liu Ya'er less and less often.She felt that she didn't hate Liu Ya'er anymore, and she didn't even love her anymore.However, when someone mentioned "Liu Ya'er", she really wanted to know her situation.Is she doing well, does she... regret it?

"Since you still care about her so much, why don't you ask the third princess to help you find out?" Jiu'er was really puzzled.

Turan shook her head, obviously disapproving of Jiu'er's statement, she would not bother Li Yuyao with these matters.

Li Yuyao in the room could no longer describe her feelings in terms of shock: the conversation between these two people proved step by step what she thought was absurd at first—Tulan's sweetheart was that Liu Ya'er!

God, how could Turan!How could she...do such absurd things!What's even more hateful is that she has been hiding it from me!No wonder I jokingly helped her get married, she was so frightened... She was determined to go back to Gao Che, because Liu Ya'er was taken by Li Zhi to be a concubine, and there was no hope for the two of them?
