先前,世嬅花了整整一年時間備婚,一來是要等太后的國喪期完結,二來是因為太子妃乃太子正妻,大婚典禮盛大,得預留足夠的時間讓禮部籌備。322Please respect copyright.PENANACWdhHcOkS5
322Please respect copyright.PENANAKCl1BfeJ2s
但這次,莫剛玉是被立為側妃,成婚的儀式沒有那麼繁瑣,加上聖上恩准了莫馬行和老夫人在為孫女送嫁後,才起程返回西域都護府,婚禮也不好拖得太久,便由禮部選了個好日子,把婚禮定在開春以後,距今不過三個月時間。322Please respect copyright.PENANAyOBlo1kPJe
322Please respect copyright.PENANAh8P3qaE21x
世嬅很忙,忙著主持婚禮事宜,忙著為剛玉收拾好東宮的南廂,還要繼續照顧太子的起居飲食,研究他之前交代,用異國香料入饌一事。322Please respect copyright.PENANAThXfMzXlyi
322Please respect copyright.PENANAJ6K0w5Wq2j
她擅長處理香料。承一給的番邦香料,她大多識得,但是要用來研發新菜式,還是得花上不少心思。322Please respect copyright.PENANAJRRUXNjzpj
322Please respect copyright.PENANAFwECFAvF9c
正因為忙碌,她才可以壓制著心頭蔓延的窒息感,不讓自己去想將要發生的事情。322Please respect copyright.PENANA9swsxl8xOi
322Please respect copyright.PENANAWxDPayefLa
剛玉每旬會進宮兩次,陪著世嬅到貴和宮請安,之後再回東宮坐坐。太子有時會回東宮陪她們用午膳,有時不會,就讓她們兩個相處。322Please respect copyright.PENANAjO6QbMJ3ME
322Please respect copyright.PENANAL2nheQqOo2
世嬅在這樣頻繁的見面中,持續地觀察著這位未來的「妹妹」。322Please respect copyright.PENANAwWlg8eYI9O
322Please respect copyright.PENANABnsCCkMyZF
十五歲的小姑娘,還保留著少女的純真可愛,面對承一時,偶爾還是會羞紅了臉,但她不似京中那些貴女,總是羞澀地垂著眸,連瞧一眼自己未來的夫婿,和他說上半句話的勇氣也沒有。322Please respect copyright.PENANAdTNaX2DbyJ
322Please respect copyright.PENANAaZJQbKGBIW
莫剛玉,就像曾經的靜德娘娘一樣,是個見過天地遼闊,風吹草低見牛羊的姑娘。322Please respect copyright.PENANAmRxCrvgt7M
322Please respect copyright.PENANAjeDcOtd21J
322Please respect copyright.PENANAcj3sHRawZb
武家的女兒,從少熟讀兵法,就算沒有隨軍上過戰場,宮中那些不見血的爭鬥,也不會難到她吧?
322Please respect copyright.PENANAfIFwZvdB90
322Please respect copyright.PENANAsjl5UqTuA6
如果沒有世嬅的存在,莫剛玉會是太子妃的最佳人選。她擁有太子妃所須的一切品質:忠誠、堅強和美麗,可以成為承一強大的後盾。別說是太子本人了,東宮又有哪個宮人不服莫剛玉?322Please respect copyright.PENANAW21XdNzdba
322Please respect copyright.PENANAVjTiKvqe5r
世嬅單手托腮,另一手撫著茶杯,聽著莫剛玉和站於一旁的李嬤嬤說話。322Please respect copyright.PENANAuICfMR22qf
322Please respect copyright.PENANAZAHV0kFobP
「嬤嬤不知道,祖母可疼剛瑋和剛璋這兩個小的了,都快要看不見我和剛珀了。」剛玉口中說著抱怨的話,但眉眼還是彎彎的,笑得甚是可人。322Please respect copyright.PENANAYdytM5cdz4
322Please respect copyright.PENANAipZao66vNm
「雙子整天吵吵鬧鬧,要他們定定坐在椅上跟被蟻咬似的,見著我祖父和祖母就笑,膩上去拉著老人家的衣袖吱吱喳喳的說話,逗得祖母合不攏嘴。」322Please respect copyright.PENANA5zs9X7QO6l
322Please respect copyright.PENANAQYN7C5D596
「剛瑋和剛璋兩位少爺生在京中,老夫人難得見到,自然想多瞧兩眼。」李嬤嬤也聽得眉開眼笑,「但玉姑娘和剛珀少爺是在老將軍和老夫人身邊長大的,老夫人哪有不疼的呢?」322Please respect copyright.PENANAh2UeKclHR3
322Please respect copyright.PENANAyUfMdQTg2n
「聽嬤嬤這樣說,我就放心了。就怕祖母有了小孫子就忘記我了。」剛玉說著,回頭朝世嬅露齒一笑:「太子妃不會嫌棄玉兒孩子氣吧?」322Please respect copyright.PENANALmoFNRDAV7
322Please respect copyright.PENANA2A0utESdwy
也許是因為名份將定,又或許是因為來東宮的次數多了,剛玉在世嬅面前漸褪了靦腆,說話也不再拘著,偶然還能說上兩句玩笑話。322Please respect copyright.PENANASu4udUEJhi
322Please respect copyright.PENANAoNduQsKYbx
「怎麼會呢?」世嬅回以一笑,把桌上的糕點推了過去,「這紅豆雪蓮糕是殿下用過覺得不錯,特地吩咐我給妳備上一份的。妳嚐嚐,看喜歡不?」322Please respect copyright.PENANA6n5cOb85yW
322Please respect copyright.PENANAnYu9ZbUlx9
剛玉應了,便伸手撿了塊糕點吃了起來。322Please respect copyright.PENANAEFw8J8BtvJ
322Please respect copyright.PENANAZu7gd6kg1s
采露從遠處走來,欠身稟道:「太子妃、莫大姑娘,福全總管派人來說,殿下請剛玉姑娘在東宮多待一會兒,他忙完了就趕回來和太子妃及姑娘喝盞茶。」322Please respect copyright.PENANACjB1zxkora
322Please respect copyright.PENANAiQc4kyj5on
「知道了。」世嬅頷首,便對剛玉道:「看,殿下還是惦記著表妹的,就算來不及回來吃午膳,也得趕來和表妹見上一面。離下千兩還有點時間,表妹若沒事,就多坐一下吧,殿下想必很快便會回來。」322Please respect copyright.PENANAqFQoTaTy7w
322Please respect copyright.PENANAxirEcLRZJf
剛玉也無可無不可的,點頭道:「玉兒聽太子妃的。」又自然而然的續道:「太子妃手藝非凡,這紅豆雪蓮糕確實很好吃,難怪殿下會喜歡。」322Please respect copyright.PENANA5iD517FW0M
322Please respect copyright.PENANAVCEMkHXBel
「喜歡就多吃一塊兒。」世嬅淺淺一笑,觀察著眼前這個落落大方的姑娘。莫剛玉雖則年輕,行事卻進退有度,在她面前從不會失了禮數。322Please respect copyright.PENANAIKdafuQtFw
322Please respect copyright.PENANAmPvNy2qVFm
其實以其身分,根本不用忌諱些甚麼。身為太子的親表妹,背後有莫家,乃至整個武將集團的支持,就算莫剛玉想在這東宮裡橫著走,旁人也得給她讓路,躬著腰說聲慢行。322Please respect copyright.PENANA4uunBeHENx
322Please respect copyright.PENANArlJwNvD4Ij
然而,莫剛玉並不是個輕率任性的人兒,就不知乃天性使然,還是莫家教女有方。322Please respect copyright.PENANAXFL309yk70
322Please respect copyright.PENANAQp5LBOrkzU
人人皆說,驃騎大將軍極疼這個唯一的孫女兒。322Please respect copyright.PENANAcFwwjoT0IU
322Please respect copyright.PENANAKD6bUdgLr5
但世嬅還是過於執著細節,無法對那些枝微末節之事視而不見。322Please respect copyright.PENANAz0kRjgLBSS
322Please respect copyright.PENANAktchXjTOri
果真疼愛這個孫女兒的話,又怎會捨得把她嫁進天家,捲入帝位之爭?難道已經忘記了前頭的靜德皇后,是如何的椒房冷落,鬱鬱而終嗎?322Please respect copyright.PENANAgOioPAZeVl
322Please respect copyright.PENANAPygDn5PC38
究竟莫家疼惜莫剛玉,是因為她本人,還是因為她乃莫家選定了,要被栽培作未來皇后的人選?322Please respect copyright.PENANAwd9mtI4kOl
322Please respect copyright.PENANAsgMyRhPs5Y
姨母把她嫁入東宮,自然有她的目的和算計。但莫家,又有多少分別?從龍之功、中宮鳳位,和家族繁盛,隨便哪樣也比自家閨女重要,不是嗎?322Please respect copyright.PENANA98jFr7kvej
322Please respect copyright.PENANAV9qlVeNcXQ
322Please respect copyright.PENANATmrokgyb6A
世嬅暗暗猜想,莫剛玉不可能對自己的處境一無所覺。322Please respect copyright.PENANAAbBXVwN0Be
322Please respect copyright.PENANAmFXahp69WW
她的進退有道,落落大方,或者正因她清楚明白自己的處境;不能恃寵而驕,行事不可失了分寸。這個小姑娘,也是個冷靜的聰明人。322Please respect copyright.PENANAET9eg6khzN
322Please respect copyright.PENANAv17lQF5S5b
就不知莫剛玉到底能有多冷靜,能不能一直堅持下去,不在這恒安禁宮迷失了方向。322Please respect copyright.PENANAbHnHrwZvcR
322Please respect copyright.PENANAIqvBWzMwV3
剛玉又吃了半塊糕點,甜甜一笑,「這點心的味道真好,太子妃不吃嗎?」322Please respect copyright.PENANAaHYFBGr7Xx
322Please respect copyright.PENANAH1DLKWzc8d
「我在宮中天天也能做來吃,妳若覺得不錯的,便替我帶些回去孝敬老夫人吧?」322Please respect copyright.PENANAumhULBidKM
322Please respect copyright.PENANAHGEQ8fxwZL
「那玉兒就替祖母謝過太子妃了。」322Please respect copyright.PENANAl48040edjX
322Please respect copyright.PENANAaHAcQNSZAt
「都是自己人。」世嬅緩緩喝了口茶,再道:「南廂那邊也整理得差不多了,就是外頭的小庭園還沒確定要種甚麼花草,待會兒妳陪我去轉一圈,看看還有甚麼想添加的?」 322Please respect copyright.PENANAHRfyC03Qf7
322Please respect copyright.PENANAluqAWArACS
莫剛玉聞言,忙婉拒:「這事兒太子妃說好便好,又哪有玉兒甚麼事呢?」她一個還沒出閣的姑娘,怎麼能逾矩於東宮裡指指點點?322Please respect copyright.PENANAnQaml71RQC
322Please respect copyright.PENANAnkdURajf0n
「那好,就待妳嫁進來之後,再決定怎樣擺弄吧。」322Please respect copyright.PENANAGPXseBQS8t
322Please respect copyright.PENANAXdw5MKe3sJ
「一切皆聽太子妃吩咐。」322Please respect copyright.PENANA1A4LqvtRqC
322Please respect copyright.PENANA8XYrC1uoOO
之後兩人便靜靜坐著,再無話可說。322Please respect copyright.PENANAfXdIaLzLkT
322Please respect copyright.PENANAhFxaiB9Q4d
世嬅原來說要請剛玉到東宮陪自己說話,不過是托詞想給她和承一多些相處時間。其實,她們又有甚麼話可聊呢?如今賜婚的聖旨已下,貴和宮再也沒法半路把這塊美玉叼走。而她倆,就更沒可能說些心底話了。322Please respect copyright.PENANAL5SLpyeEUn
322Please respect copyright.PENANAX8ziNZLqn5
妻妾之間,要如何相處才算融洽呢?世嬅不信真有那情同姊妹之事,卻也沒打算和莫剛玉鬧得太僵。322Please respect copyright.PENANA3v7s6UQkba
322Please respect copyright.PENANAMsAnqmI9yt
她們未來的日子,還長著呢。322Please respect copyright.PENANAjHQde8OLid
322Please respect copyright.PENANAxvfWrtQ4a2
雲朵在天邊徐緩地飄過,冬日的暖陽曬得人懶洋洋的。世嬅就想在這裡多坐一會兒,總好過和莫剛玉一起悶在殿裡,相對無言。322Please respect copyright.PENANAuoULDZNRgN
322Please respect copyright.PENANAUBzCJkukte
322Please respect copyright.PENANAwbRnOjKFnR
就這樣,兩人不時客氣地相視而笑,靜靜的喝喝茶,吃吃點心。322Please respect copyright.PENANAFp74rSX33b
322Please respect copyright.PENANAL9g8saysld
直到花影在地上挪移了好幾吋,她們等著的人,終於有了消息。

作者有話說: 剛玉這個名字,取自一種礦物類寶石。紅寶石和藍寶石,皆屬剛玉家族。聽說,剛玉的硬度僅低於鑽石(不知對不對,歡迎熟悉寶石的朋友指正)。那時候,一聽到這個詞語就覺得:噢,堅硬的瑰寶,這該是莫家女兒的名字。322Please respect copyright.PENANALonm1yQHvo
