The Rebirth of an Ill-Fated Consort - 146. Fair lady, good gentleman
Jiang Ruan didn’t know what happened in Ci Ning Palace. However, things in this world were destined to happen in the future, and it was a coincidence that they could easily run into each other. Someone thought of Xiao Shao’s mind with him.
At the Commander General’s mansion, Gu Yi left the small servant and was about to sneak out of the mansion. When Fang walked to the gate of the courtyard, he heard a familiar voice behind him: “Yi’er, where are you going?”
Gu Yi’s complexion collapsed, and he turned around in a daze. Sure enough, he saw Madam Gu standing behind him, walked up to him a few steps, and rebuked: “Now that the outside world is so messy, where do you want to go?”
Gu Yi’s eyes rolled a few times, and he had an idea: “I…I want to go to the palace to see my cousin.”
Gu Yi’s cousin is also a talented person in the palace. The relationship between the two sisters and brothers was also very good. Since the cousin entered the palace, Gu Yi hasn’t seen her for a long time.
It’s just that this reason is a bit far-fetched, and Mrs. Gu raised her eyebrows and said, “Oh? Looking for cousin, isn’t it about looking for Princess Hongan?”
“Mother–” Gu Yi was anxious: “Me, I, and her are also friends anyhow. Now she is in an embarrassing situation, so she can’t ignore it. I just want to care about her.”
Mrs. Gu hated iron and steel and looked at her: “Caring about her? Now is the time when the storm is on the cusp. You are not dead, you just want to kill, and don’t get involved in the whole mansion. It’s hard to say what the situation is like Jiang Xinzhi now. You are careful to be dragged in. Our house is innocent, but you can’t get caught in these things for no reason.”
“I just want to comfort her. How can my mother think it is so complicated.” Gu Yi said anxiously: “Mother, I can’t be a villain who sees the wind.”
Mrs. Gu sighed and looked at her insistent son, not knowing whether it was joy or sorrow in her heart. The son has grown up and has his own ideas, but Gu Yi’s Mrs. Gu is very clear, and it is not that Jiang Ruan is thinking of Jiang Ruan in his heart. I thought it was a temporary favorite of children, but after such a long period of time, I haven’t let it go. It may not be a good thing for Gu Yi.
Seeing Mrs. Gu’s expression loosened, Gu Yi was delighted, and said to Mrs. Gu kindly: “Mother, my aunt and I will go to send something to my cousin, and I will be back soon.”
Mrs. Gu didn’t speak, but she acquiesced. Gu Yi quickly asked the little servant to prepare the horse and turned around out of the yard.
The grandmother next to him said: “That’s how Mrs. let the young master go?”
“Princess Hong’an is a wise man,” Mrs. Gu said lightly: “Let him go, or cut off his thoughts.”
At the same time, Jing Zhao Yin’s mansion was on.
The maid handed over a small cup of water and sugar to stew Sydney, the sugar water was boiled so viscous, and it was very beautiful in the crystal clear crystal cup. The maid put the sugar water aside and reached out to help the person curled up on the couch: “Girl, get up and drink some sugar water.”
“No.” There was a weak voice, which seemed to contain a strong nasal sound and crying cavity. The maid was a little embarrassed, and warmly persuaded: “Girls don’t need to worry too much, things have not yet come to light, maybe not to the worst point, why bother to delay your own body.”
The man lying on the couch seemed to be aroused by these words, his shoulders shrugged, and his heart became more and more sad. After a while, he slowly sat up, revealing a haggard and pale face, it was Dong Ying’er.
Dong Ying’er wore a honey-colored jacket, her hair was only combed in a simple bun, and the rest looked a little messy behind her head. There is no such thing as a light and delicate appearance before, but at the same age, he has an old state. My eyes were a little swollen because they were soaked in tears for a long time, and the hair on both cheeks was wet with tears, which looked so pitiful.
She licked her dry lips and asked, “What time is it?”
Outside the house, Master Dong and Madam Dong were worried, Master Dong put the teacup in his hand on the table and sighed heavily.
“This is the end of the matter, Ying’er has no other choice.” Madam Dong’s eyes were unusually firm: “Don’t have a star-point relationship with Jiang Xinzhi. Once this happens, Ying’er can stop thinking about it.”
“Madam,” Mr. Dong shook his head, “Ying’er is gentle on the surface, but she is extremely stubborn in her heart. She is afraid that she will do stupid things.”
“Daughter, I know better than you.” Mrs. Dong said: “Long pain is worse than short pain. It is better to be sad than to indulge in the impossible for a lifetime. Besides, you know best what is going on in the house. Now there is only this way. Let’s go.” She stood up, seemingly made up a certain resolution: “I’ll go in and persuade.”
Dong Ying’er sat on the couch blankly, like a lifeless clay doll. When Mrs. Dong entered the house, she saw this scene, and she couldn’t help but feel a pain in her heart. Waved to let the maid go down, walked to the collapse and sat down. Wen Sheng called: “Ying’er.”
After a long time, Dong Ying’er seemed to react. She turned her head and looked at Madam Dong’s face close at hand. She met those loving eyes, and her heart was mixed. After only calling out “mother”, she couldn’t say anything anymore. When the words came, she fell on Madam Dong and wept in sorrow.
Who knows that when she heard the news that Jiang Xinzhi was defeated and captured by the border, she was shocked and saddened. If it weren’t for her daughter’s home, I’m afraid that she might wish to fly to the border in person at this moment to see what it looks like. The thought of such a wise and wise man, a handsome man with abundance of spirits, turned out to be like countless soldiers, becoming a piece of loess on the battlefield, and Dong Ying’er couldn’t bear it.
Poor Wuding Riverside Bone is still a spring boudoir dream. She hasn’t expressed her urgency to him yet, and he still doesn’t know her intentions, so heaven and man will be separated forever. In this way, she suffered for Jiang Xinzhi and was banned in this mansion, all in vain! There is the saddest thing in the world, and it is over before it can start.
The obsession in Dong Ying’er’s heart is Jiang Xinzhi, and now that Jiang Xinzhi ends up like this, how can she not collapse.
Mrs. Dong took Dong Ying’er in her arms, patted her on the back distressedly, and comforted her as usual: “You are not to blame for this matter, only God’s will to make people. Now Vice-General Jiang has ended like this, but you Don’t delay your body. Father, mother, and your brother are all distressed for you. If you are hurt, my mother will feel distressed. Seeing you hurt, my mother will also feel hurt in my heart.”
“Mother,” Dong Ying’er cried bitterly: “My heart is so bitter–”
“娘知道你心里苦。”董夫人将董盈儿揽的更紧了些:“娘又何尝不苦。你只知道蒋副将兵败,可知道如今朝中势力越发错综复杂。咱们府上本是维持中立的,可蒋副将兵败,有些事情摆到台面上,咱们府里就是那火中的栗子,谁都想要来取一取。你爹和你大哥如今进也不是退也不是,一着不慎满盘皆输。咱们府上又何尝不是在火中炙烤?”她轻抚着董盈儿的长发:“蒋副将真的战死沙场,武将马革裹尸,那是死得其所。怕就怕的是稀里糊涂就死了,哎。”
董夫人声音中带着浓浓的疲惫和担忧,董盈儿抬起头来,这些日子她被关在屋里,连带着对董大人和董夫人也冷落了许多,也并不关注府里事情,怎么,在她不知道的时候,府里竟然已经为难到了这种地步?
她转眼看向董夫人,这么一看,平日里未曾留意,只见原先珠圆玉润的董夫人不知何时已然消瘦了许多,眉宇间都是浓浓的愁色,神情也十分憔悴。董盈儿心中一顿,问道:“娘,发生何事了?”
“都和你没什么关系。”董夫人笑了笑,摸了摸她的头:“你只要好好的,娘心里就比什么都高兴。”
董盈儿却不这么想,方才董夫人的一番话已经深深扎进了她的心中。原先她是爱恋蒋信之,可如今无论蒋信之是被俘还是战死,今生都与她是不可能的了。如今她也与常家退了亲,日后再无退路,反正生无可恋。本想着一了百了,看到蒋夫人这般光景,却是改变了主意。
世上能永远陪在她身边的,对她一如既往的好的,只有亲人。她原先为了蒋信之忤逆亲人,既然此生已经没有什么其他的愿望,何不成全?
她看着董夫人:“娘,我进宫。”
“你……”董夫人一愣,勉强笑了笑:“你如今还是歇着吧,出了这些事情,好好休养才是正事,其他的别多想。”
“Mother,” Dong Ying’er smiled lightly. For a moment, something seemed to disappear in the playful bright eyes. Instead, there was a kind of faint coldness: “Since the house is so difficult, my brother and father still have to Standing in the center, I accidentally made a raft for others. I entered the palace, and at least I could get a shelter from your majesty, and at least one could change your majesty’s peace of mind to the Dong family.” She suddenly stood up and knelt to Madam Dong. Going down, there were three beeps respectfully: “The daughter is not filial, because the daughter was wrong before. For her own sake, she abandoned Dong’s mansion and asked her mother to give her a chance to make compensation and let her enter the palace. ”
Her tone persisted, as if there was no longer a trace of nostalgia for Jiang Xinzhi, and even the stark pain was gone for an instant, as if she had never admired a military commander named Jiang Xinzhi.
Madam Dong looked at her, not knowing whether it was joy or sorrow, her emotions all turned into a long sigh.
That Jiang Xinzhi finally turned Dong Ying’er into a completely different person, and Dong Ying’er’s life was rewritten. At this moment, the playful and unfettered Girls’ Generation has ended. From then on, Dong Ying’er will enter the deep palace, in the cage of conspiracy and power, step by step, to seek a temporary prosperous glory for herself and her family.
Walking out of Dong Ying’er’s house, Master Dong came forward and asked, “Madam, how is it?”
Madam Dong was silent, but slowly closed her eyes, and stood in front of the Guanyin statue in the hall. While her hands were folded together, a drop of tears quickly splashed out and fell into the incense burner and disappeared for a second.
I can’t help her, I can only use the rest of my life to atone for her sins. I just wish peace and joy in this life, even if it’s just… extravagant desire.
In the garden outside the Princess Palace, Jiang Ruan raised his eyes to look at the young man in front of him.
Gu Yi was dressed in a lake-green sky brocade long dress, with a large auspicious cloud pattern embroidered on his chest, but his black eyes were staring at Jiang Ruan closely, with a slight tension in his eyes.
In the trance, it seems to be back on the exquisite boat that I first saw a few years ago. The young man is the proud son of the rich and the family. Like the big peonies in this temple, the flowers of life are full of beautiful flowers, and they are born to stop and admire.
At the beginning, it was only a simple use, but now things are different, and the boy has grown into a young man, but his eyes seem to be more sincere than before. The frivolous retreat a little bit, a little more composure, but the same person is still watching.
“Gu Gongzi.” Jiang Ruan nodded. She can smile gently to the vicious person in her heart, but she can only use coldness to face this persistent admiration.
“Miss Jiang.” Gu Yi didn’t call her Hong’an Princess. In Gu Yi’s mind, Jiang Ruan was like the Jiang family Ruan mother when she first met. He was amazed by her beauty, a fair lady and a gentleman. Later, Jiang Ruan followed the Queen Mother to the imperial tomb. Three years later, when Ronghua returned, Gu Yi was shocked. It was as if a dusty jade was finally unearthed.
It’s just that although he is the son of the Commander General’s Mansion, he has to be cautious in his words and deeds. Jiang Ruan is now the host of Hong’an County, and he rarely comes into contact with him on weekdays. Moreover, Mr. Gu also explicitly forbids him to walk too close to Jiang Ruan.
Until the defeat of Jiang Xinzhi came, Gu Yi couldn’t help it anymore. In his opinion, it is conceivable that a defeated lieutenant ended up in the court. Jiang Ruan was in the palace and was inadvertently pushed to the cusp of the storm. The longer you stay in the palace, the more dangerous it becomes. It is inevitable that Jiang Xinzhi was implicated.
Gu Yi said, “Miss Jiang, I hope Miss Jiang will be more relieved about the matter of brother Ling.”
“Thank you Young Master Gu for your comfort.” Jiang Ruan said lightly.
Seeing Jiang Ruan’s attitude, Gu Yi was a little nervous for a while, but he was full of courage when he thought of what he was going to say next: “Miss Jiang, now the life and death of Vice-General Jiang is uncertain. Miss Jiang is too dangerous in the palace. The current situation in the court. In confusion, Miss Jiang and Vice-General Jiang are brothers and sisters. It is inevitable that someone will involve Miss Jiang because of Vice-General Jiang. Even the empress dowager can’t take care of it. I…I have a solution.”
Jiang Ruan raised his eyebrows, and the corners of his lips raised: “Oh? What can Young Master Gu do?”
Gu Yi’s heartbeat was a little fast when she saw it, and she paused and said, “As long as Miss Jiang makes a marriage with someone, it has nothing to do with Jiang’s Mansion. If someone uses Vice-General Jiang as a raft in the future, Ms. Jiang is not in Jiang’s Mansion. People, you can’t rely on this, you can retreat.”
“Gu Gongzi made sense.” Jiang Ruan sighed and said with a smile: “But at this time, who wants to make a marriage with me? It’s too late to hide.”
“I!” Gu Yi blurted out, seeing Jiang Ruan’s expression a little hesitating for a while, mustering the courage: “I have been in love with Miss for a long time. , I am sure to take good care of Miss Jiang so that she will not be aggrieved at all. With the support of the Military Command, Miss Jiang will never be framed.”
Jiang Ruan smiled and looked at the young man in front of him, his eyes were full of hope, and his feelings were hot. In her previous life, she was known as a witch, and she had never encountered such a hot expression. It is a pity that Gu Yi met her in this life, and even such a clean and hot confession could not touch her the slightest.
She looked down: “I only ask Master Gu, what does Master Gu say?”
Gu Yi froze, what his father said, his father taught him to stop thinking, don’t put the General Soldier Mansion on the fire just because of a woman. However, he looked at Jiang Ruan: “I will convince my father myself.”
Jiang Ruan shook his head and said, “Master Gu will not be persuaded by you.” She said mildly: “Thank you for the kindness of Master Gu, but I know I am embarrassed, how can I marry the Lord General’s house. Not only Master Gu, but Mrs. Gu I’m afraid I don’t agree. I decided to kiss against the will of my relatives, and in the end it only added a pair of grudges. Young Master Gu gave me this heart, and I will keep it well in this life, but I insist on sticking to this heart and becoming It’s beyond recognition, it’s not what I wanted.”
Gu Yi was a little worried: “Miss Jiang…”
“Gu Gongzi,” Jiang Ruan interrupted him: “Gu Gongzi is not a young man now, knowing that everything has to be paid. Is it really worth it for the General Military Mansion to pay such a price for me? You know, married me , The General Military Mansion will be watched all the time, and Master General’s climb to today’s position will be obstructed because of a decision made by Mr. Gu, and Mrs. Gu will also worry about it. But it’s for a woman, Mr. Gu, Is it really worth it?”
Gu Yi was a little speechless when asked by Jiang Ruan, and his original self-confidence couldn’t help but hesitate. For Jiang Ruan, is it really worth it to put the General Military Mansion in this position?
Jiang Ruan stepped back and said with a smile: “Niang Ruan thanked Mr. Gu for what he said here today. Such a precious heart will be remembered by Niang Ruan. When I meet in the future, I will still be friends. It’s just the fate of your partner, in this life. But there is no more.”
Gu Yi only felt numb and bitter in his mouth, and the astringent heart ached. The beautiful lady is close at hand, but it’s impossible to be together in this life because it is separated by thousands of mountains and rivers. Although Gu Yi was impulsive, he also distinguished the pros and cons. If someone else said something to him, he would still not listen to him. He was born as Jiang Ruan, his sweetheart, and his heart gradually cooled down.
He smiled bitterly: “I understand. Then, if you are not the princess, and I am not the son of the general army, do you think it is possible to achieve a certain fate?”
“There is no if in the world.” Jiang Ruan smiled slightly.
Gu Yi took two steps backwards, and his face was unabashedly sad: “There is no if.” He shook his head, as if he had grown up in an instant, and the inextricable involvement in his eyes made people pull in his heart, and he turned his head and left. After taking two steps, he paused and said: “I only asked a word, Miss Jiang’s mind, there is a moment for the next moment.”
“No.” Jiang Ruan replied with a smile.
Gu Yi’s body shook twice, and then he strode away after a pause.
Seeing Gu Yi’s back disappear, Jiang Ruan lowered his eyes and turned to return to the Princess Palace. Fang turned around and saw under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree, dressed in black, deserted and compelling, the young man looked at her quietly, not knowing how long he had been standing here.
