She got up and went out of bed barefoot. The room was heated by floor heating, so she didn't feel cold.
Nangong Yan heard the noise and looked up. He saw Qingyin standing on the ground. He quickly walked over and picked her up. "Why are you awake?"
Qingyin pouted and complained, "You just said you would accompany me, but I just turned around and you disappeared."
Nangong Yan kissed the corner of her lips lovingly, "I was wrong. Can I sleep with you now?"
Having said that, he carried Qingyin back into the room.
This time, Qingyin didn't pull the quilt over and roll into the bed. Instead, she nestled in Nangong Yan's arms, one hand still tightly grasping his collar. "I have to catch you, otherwise you'll run away again."
Nangong Yan's heart instantly softened as he muttered and complained softly.
Suddenly, the words A Yuan said popped up in my mind and replaced him.
His body suddenly became stiff.
Qingyin felt something was wrong and asked, "What's wrong?"
Nangong Yan kissed her forehead and said, "It's okay, go to sleep."
The next day.
Qingyin woke up in her familiar bed. She yawned contentedly and then slowly got up.
This damn insect can finally be quiet for a while.
Qiuzhu helped Qingyin change clothes and wash up as usual, but today she seemed to be a little worried.
After promising Nanny Sun yesterday, she suddenly realized that she had overstepped her bounds.
At that time, she actually thought that the Queen Mother would definitely agree to this idea.
It seems that the Queen Mother has been so good to her during this period that she has forgotten her duties.
The palace maid was released from the palace just because of a word of grace from the Queen Mother.
But.
This grace is what many maids in the palace dream of.
She could agree to ask for this grace for Nanny Sun, but she could not think that the Queen Mother would definitely agree.
Thinking of this, Qiu Zhu felt a little ashamed.
For a moment, I lost the courage to speak.
Qingyin looked at Qiuzhu through the bronze mirror, "What's wrong? I noticed you looked worried this morning. Maybe you're about to leave the palace and you're feeling homesick."
Qiu Zhu quickly collected her thoughts and nodded with a smile, "In the past, I always looked forward to leaving the palace, but now that the day has finally come, I can't bear to leave."
Qingyin also smiled and said, "If you are reluctant, how about finding a marriage for you? If you miss me in the future, you can come to the palace to see me."
Qiu Zhu was stunned.
It's not that I'm resisting the arranged marriage, I'm just a little confused.
Qingyin glanced at her, and seeing that she didn't resist, she continued, "How about Xiao Wei, whom I met that day?"
Qiu Zhu panicked and almost dropped the comb in her hand. She knelt down and said, "Your servant, I am not worthy of you."
Qingyin helped the man up and said, "What's the point of talking about whether they are worthy or not? He asked for this marriage on his own initiative. You just need to consider whether he is worthy of entrusting your life to."
"Empress Dowager..." Qiu Zhu spoke hesitantly.
He is certainly worthy.
But what does it matter if it's worth it? She and he are destined to be impossible to be together.
Qingyin may have sensed Qiuzhu's thoughts, so she took him to the dining table and asked him to sit down.
Qiu Zhu was a little frightened and hurried to get up.
Qingyin gently pressed her shoulder and said, "Please sit down. You will be leaving the palace in a few days. Just think of it as a farewell dinner for you by accompanying me."
Qingyin sat down opposite him, picked up a piece of pork ribs and put it in Qiuzhu's bowl before saying, "I shouldn't ask about your private affairs, but seeing you like this, are you acquainted with Xiao Wei before?"
When Qiu Zhu heard Xiao Wei's name again, her mood had improved a lot. She looked up at Qingyin and saw that she didn't look like she wanted to get to the bottom of it.
As she breathed a sigh of relief, she suddenly couldn't help but want to find someone to talk to.
She stared at the spareribs in the bowl, and her thoughts went back to ten years ago.
At that time, she had not yet entered the palace, and she and Xiao Wei were childhood sweethearts.
Xiao Wei is the son of their village chief, and she is an orphan raised by her grandmother alone.
When she was young, there were always people who bullied her because she had no parents, and Xiao Wei would always help her fight them off.
At that time, she was ignorant of the immensity of the world and thought that as long as he was willing and she was willing, they could be together forever.
Unexpectedly, the truth of the matter was so unbearable.
And during those more than ten years, that man endured so much suffering alone, but she was completely unaware of it.
It was only when she was about to leave that she found out that Xiao Wei was not the village chief's biological son.
That year, there was a severe drought.
The village chief was not yet a village chief, but just a strong young man. He went hunting in the mountains with the villagers.
Unexpectedly, when he was alone, he happened to encounter a wild boar. The wild boar accidentally injured him while running around, making it difficult for him to have offspring in the future.
The village chief kept this matter a secret and soon got married.
A year later, the village chief's wife gave birth to Xiao Wei.
Some people were confused when they saw the tragic scene that day, but when they saw that Xiao Wei's mother was indeed pregnant and had a big belly, and later gave birth to Xiao Wei, no one investigated the matter further.
In the same village, her home was closest to the village chief's home. At that time, there was no concept that boys and girls couldn't play together, so when she was a child, she almost always played with Xiao Wei.
At that time, I didn’t understand the difference between men and women, let alone the love between men and women.
When did you understand that?
It should have been that night when Xiao Wei was sitting alone in the corner. She was startled when she got up to go to the bathroom.
When I almost screamed, he pounced on me and pressed me under him.
At that time, both of them were stunned.
Later, Xiao Wei looked at her with increasingly strange eyes, until one day, he suddenly said to her, "A Xiu, when you reach marriage age, I'll come to your house to propose marriage, okay?"
She should have nodded at that time.
Because she noticed that the boy's cheeks suddenly turned red, and his ears were even redder than usual.
But before he came to propose, his mother suddenly came to the door. She looked down at her and her grandmother. She still remembers it to this day. She said that she was unlucky for her parents and was a jinx, and asked how someone like her could be worthy of her son.
At that time, grandma pushed herself out so that she wouldn't hear these words.
She didn't want to go out, but that was the first time her grandmother had spoken harshly to her.
She had no choice but to retreat.
If she knew that if she retreated, she would completely lose her grandma, she thought, she would definitely not retreat.
Seeing Xiao Wei's mother running out in a panic, she didn't have time to think and ran in. The first thing she saw was a pool of blood on the ground, and her grandmother was lying there.
Qiu Zhu suddenly choked up at this memory, "Queen Mother, do you know what? Before Grandma left, she said that person didn't mean it, don't blame her."
Grandma was still thinking about her until the moment she died.
But how could she not blame?
How could she feel at ease staying with Xiao Wei again?
