Chapter 145 Shuzhu x Song Yiren
Chapter 145 Shuzhu x Song Yiren
March of the ninth year of Yuanfeng, when flowers bloom and everything comes back to life, it is my favorite season.
Dong Yu and I were arranged by our master to be with the new nobleman. We didn't know the reason and didn't ask much.
She went there with a nervous heart. According to the rules of the Yu Dynasty, a noble could choose his or her own first-class maid.
I heard that she was originally the Princess of Feng, and was favored by the dog emperor, which led to her being abandoned with a stick. But when I saw her in person, I, as a woman, was amazed.
I stared at her blankly. She really looked like a fairy in a picture book. Dongyu saw me like this and quickly pulled my sleeve. Only then did I realize how abrupt I was.
The moment I lowered my head, I seemed to see her turn her head, and I became extremely nervous.
After a long while, I heard her clear and pleasant voice. She said, "Look up."
I raised my head timidly, but remained calm and maintained basic etiquette: "May the noble lady be blessed. My name is Qiuxiang."
I secretly peeked at her expression, but saw that she shook her head slightly. Just when I thought she didn't choose me, she said, "This name is too vulgar and doesn't match your temperament. From now on, your name will be Shuzhu, and you will stay by my side and serve me!"
"Well, thank you for the name!" I kowtowed to her politely.
But she seemed a little unhappy, and said to everyone with a stern face: "From now on, unless you make a serious mistake, you are not allowed to kneel!"
I instantly felt that she was a really nice person, at least she was one of the few nobles who respected others.
Then she clicked Dongyu again, and this time she didn't even need to say a name, as the nobleman directly gave her the name "Huaju".
This reminds me of "music, chess, calligraphy, painting, plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum". Your Excellency is truly an elegant person!
The emperor came that evening. I was clamoring for the nobleman in my heart and was really impatient!
But I still know my position, my identity and what I should do, so I suppressed my thoughts and stepped forward and said, "My dear, let me dress you up. After all, you are going to see the emperor, so you must be polite."
She didn't refuse. This face was stunning from a distance, and she couldn't take her eyes off it when she got close!
I even wondered what King Feng was thinking. He is such a coward!
If I were King Feng, I would never give up such a beauty even if I rebelled!
Before leaving, the nobleman said to me: "No matter what happens inside, you must prevent anyone from breaking in. Understand?"
I instantly remembered the pornographic picture I accidentally saw at Ye Jiu's place before. What the noble said... is this what he meant? !
My face turned red in an instant. I was so useless! I suppressed my shyness and replied, "I understand!"
……
In the eighth year of Yuanfeng, the noble lady had already been promoted to noble concubine. That night, she didn't know where she was going. She only told Huaju and me that if the emperor came to look for her, she should say that she was ill and had fallen asleep.
Sure enough, the emperor came not long after. After listening to what the imperial concubine said, the emperor expressed his desire to go in and take a look. Huaju and I kept trying to stop him, but later the dog emperor took Huaju away.
I was so anxious that I jumped up and down, but the imperial concubine didn't come back. Now, the only person who can save Huaju is the master...
I went to the old place to contact the secret guard, and the secret guard told me that the master was not there either. On the way back, I was a little dazed.
People are so insignificant in the face of life and death. Could it be that Huaju cannot escape this disaster tonight?
I couldn't sleep the whole night. The next morning, the imperial concubine finally came back. I ran to find her, thinking that I would be willing to work like a slave for her if she could agree to save Huaju.
I didn't expect that she rushed out like a fly after I just stated the facts, without me even having to beg her.
Zhu Qing'an, you are such a good person. Just like your name, I hope you can live a peaceful and stable life for the rest of your life.
I waited and waited in Kunning Hall, and finally they came back.
Huaju was covered in blood and looked painful. She was carried back by the imperial concubine.
Later, the Imperial Concubine invited an imperial physician, and I was so focused on Huaju that I didn't pay attention to what the imperial physician looked like at first.
After waiting for Huaju's condition to gradually stabilize, I slowly raised my head, and my eyes happened to meet a pair of dark and deep eyes.
With just one glance, I deeply realized that this person in front of me would become the object of my lifelong pursuit.
Maybe some people think I am too superficial and easily decide everything based on the first impression. However, for me, feeling is so important. At that moment, it seems that fate has already arranged everything.
I deliberately asked many questions to get to know him better. Fortunately, he was very patient and answered every one of my questions in detail. Through these exchanges, I learned his name - Song Yiren.
Strangely enough, this name sounds quite like a girl's name and gives people a sense of delicateness!
I followed him to get the medicine. When he finished writing the prescription and handed it to me, my first feeling was amazement. The handwriting was so beautiful!
Every stroke of his pen is filled with patience and spirit. He must be a person who loves calligraphy.
In the following days, I tried to see him again, but to no avail.
I began to feel a little discouraged, until the following fall, when the annual hunt began.
I picked out a red outfit for the imperial concubine. It turns out that good-looking people look good in anything they wear. Even if they wear a sack, they are still a beauty.
"Your Majesty, the Emperor is only bringing you, his only female relative, with him on the hunt today. Many eyes in the harem are staring at us, so it's better to keep a low profile." I thought this was Your Majesty's first time participating in a hunt, so I couldn't help but give her a few more reminders.
She nodded to show that she understood. After a long silence, she seemed to suddenly remember something and said, "Shuzhu, select some smart and honest girls and go to the East Suburb Villa to serve Zi'er. After Zi'er's delivery, you can come back here.
In addition, I will send Dr. Song to go with you. She will do her best to help take care of Zi'er until she gives birth to the baby. What do you think of this arrangement?"
When I heard Dr. Song, I thought, this is like a pie falling from the sky! Is there such a good thing?
But then I thought, what about the hunting? I asked, "What about this hunting, Your Majesty..." I could feel a little worried.
The imperial concubine teased me with a smile and comforted me, "Don't worry, Huaju's injuries must have healed almost completely. With her accompanying me, you can rest assured!"
Yes, as long as Huaju is here, why should I worry?
I skipped away, and when I got out, I met Imperial Physician Song who had already packed up and was waiting for me.
I smoothed my hair and went to greet him: "Hello, Imperial Physician Song!"
He smiled at me: "Are you ready? Shall we set off now?"
I nodded, moved closer to him, and got into the same sedan with him.
so happy~
Life was originally quite comfortable, but good times are always short-lived. Something went wrong during the hunt, and the emperor and his companions disappeared.
Huo Yanchen led his men to Dongjiao. We sacrificed the enemy to save ourselves, but we were still arrested. Fortunately, he was a lovesick man and did not make things difficult for us.
In the winter of the ninth year of Yuanfeng, the young lady gave birth to a daughter and sent us out of the city.
On the way of escape, we inquired about the whereabouts of the imperial concubine and the master while avoiding Huo Yanchen's search.
At the border with Nanjiang, I was caught by Huo Yanchen's subordinates, and Imperial Physician Song was injured while trying to save me.
Fortunately, someone passed by and rescued us.
From then on, I discovered a secret, she was actually a woman.
I couldn’t imagine that the relationship I had for so many years would actually..., and I couldn’t accept this sudden change.
She woke up and explained to me. I thought about it for a long time. What if she was a girl? As long as she was my lover, it was fine. So it was natural for us to be together.
The speed of the Yu Dynasty's change of dynasties was too fast. Now it is already the third year of Tianbao.
I heard that Huo Yige went back to kill them, and Huo Yanchen was killed on the spot, including the young lady.
I tried many ways to contact the imperial concubine, but the distance was too far and carrier pigeons were not enough, so I looked for a coachman, but there was no news.
I want to go back to Wangdu, but Song Yiren said that Wangdu is still very dangerous, so we can go back together in two years.
Unexpectedly, two years later, the imperial concubine came to us first. She was together with the master. I instantly sighed that love is really too unpredictable.
A few years ago, they forced others to learn "Rainbow Skirt and Feathered Coat", and a few years later they were able to get married.
Song Yiren and I had been at the forefront of the disaster area, and unexpectedly we met a girl who was on her last breath. Out of pity, we took her back to the Imperial Master's Mansion.
After rescuing her and learning about her experience, we felt deeply sympathetic and decided to adopt her as our adopted daughter, to which she agreed.
What was even more unexpected was that two months later, Qing An was pregnant!
Before the birth, our family of three all went there, and Qing An gave birth to a boy.
Huaishuang likes it very much, but I know we won't let her have a younger brother, I'm sorry.
……
In the tenth year of Tianbao, Persia launched a war, and we responded to the call and supported the Yu Dynasty.
On the way to deliver supplies to the north, Song Yiren was captured by the enemy and brutally killed...
That year was spring, and since then I no longer like spring.
The following spring, I died of depression, leaving Huaishuang alone. I felt really ashamed!
