世嬅在貴和宮一跪,便跪了十多天。73Please respect copyright.PENANAVTNx0TCYLv
73Please respect copyright.PENANAHGxqmjrjJb
九個多月的身子,也不知她是怎麼做到的,竟然每天都實實在在地跪滿一個時辰,沒有給貴和宮落下甚麼話柄。73Please respect copyright.PENANAqpW2fFgtyV
73Please respect copyright.PENANAy9BijaMUge
剛玉對此很是不滿,好幾次想要拉著世嬅去找蓉妃,讓她到聖駕前陳情,哪有叫太子妃每日罰跪的,若是把皇孫跪出個好歹來,就算是程貴妃亦沒有那麼容易把事情擺平。73Please respect copyright.PENANALTUCUohwqu
73Please respect copyright.PENANA4ZzrLxuGDC
但每一次皆被世嬅制止了。沒讓她到隆亨宮,或是在聖上面前多說甚麼。73Please respect copyright.PENANArgNOYqDaIK
73Please respect copyright.PENANAKmWzGikuOU
世嬅是有意的,或者該說,她尚在猶豫。73Please respect copyright.PENANA3DkuAP4ILu
73Please respect copyright.PENANA5ibXX6TZ8i
無論被父親勸說了多少遍,自己又在心裡頭立下幾多次誓願,世嬅仍是沒有辦法把姨母完全視為仇敵。73Please respect copyright.PENANAZqfrIVXV9L
73Please respect copyright.PENANACpXovs9a2b
姨母確是有私心的,想讓祈原正位東宮,也利用了她,把其嫁入東宮當細作。73Please respect copyright.PENANAzblmxgQEQE
73Please respect copyright.PENANAJwoA4ICnJW
但是,單靠這些就能把姨母視作十惡不赦的人嗎?73Please respect copyright.PENANA3Bc13qqfPQ
73Please respect copyright.PENANAcv8OyHnTrV
在和父親那次深談之後,世嬅又反思了許多東西。事情走到今天這個境地,聖上縱有諸多考量,不管他說甚麼國家大義,亦無法否定一件事:他犧牲了敏兒。73Please respect copyright.PENANAos6HEWSzZS
73Please respect copyright.PENANAs1Z9e3knLI
而姨母,難道就不能心疼她的女兒?不能覺得忿忿不平,想要遷怒東宮嗎?73Please respect copyright.PENANAJ2P5xT3NMj
73Please respect copyright.PENANAy4svXrBHQk
這一切皆是人之常情,只不過因為她們所站的立場不同,才產生了這許許多多的矛盾。73Please respect copyright.PENANA0MjAjHYpDq
73Please respect copyright.PENANA0Cjn9RmF7E
每每想到這點,世嬅就沒法把姨母視作仇敵。73Please respect copyright.PENANANYFpEwbSEf
73Please respect copyright.PENANAnHgX5tbvaw
程貴妃娘娘是跟她說過很多狠話,甚至還曾經給她熬過湯藥,差點兒就把皇孫給扼殺了。但事實就是,孩子還好好的揣在世嬅腹中,差不多就要足月了。73Please respect copyright.PENANAQsK8tK7QoM
73Please respect copyright.PENANAP4yA31qt6X
再退一萬步來說,姨母真要狠心謀奪東宮之位,那麼在靜德娘娘薨逝以後,太子尚未成人而驃騎大將軍遠在邊疆之時,難道她就真的沒有下手的機會嗎?73Please respect copyright.PENANA3mEwhKZwKJ
73Please respect copyright.PENANA2cvZnW0KiA
怎麼就讓承一長大成人,成了能跟她分庭抗禮的太子殿下了呢?73Please respect copyright.PENANAQDgxl9ebC5
73Please respect copyright.PENANAtkKuVAK37P
當中,難道就沒有她的手下留情和不忍嗎?73Please respect copyright.PENANAgVO5Fx8HnC
73Please respect copyright.PENANAW1JYTpm3Dk
每當世嬅下定決心要起而與姨母對抗之時,在心底深處,總會有一把聲音提醒著她這些。73Please respect copyright.PENANArE2oK0tEt5
73Please respect copyright.PENANA6jgZOknZDw
如果姨母確是個壞人,那事情還好辦許多⋯⋯世嬅只要全心全意的恨她,放膽去幹就好。73Please respect copyright.PENANA2VTynqEYip
73Please respect copyright.PENANAiFqQV2hHrd
然而,善惡黑白並不永遠那麼分明。73Please respect copyright.PENANA2Z0AzZsweg
73Please respect copyright.PENANAXzuWEu7D2a
每當世嬅考慮著自己若遭遇不測,該要把孩子托付給誰的時候,總會想起她的母親。73Please respect copyright.PENANAySdg25Pcwq
73Please respect copyright.PENANA02q2y6Dnm4
母親當年是懷著怎樣的心情,把她托付給姨母的呢?除了因為姨母聖眷正隆外,會不會也因為她知道自己的長姊是個可堪托付的人?73Please respect copyright.PENANAQm2g4kIhlg
73Please respect copyright.PENANA4hvauSfi34
姨母絕不是個聖人,從來沒有做到把太子甚或是世嬅視如己出,但她也沒有表面看來那般不仁。73Please respect copyright.PENANAJIZEWstmZT
73Please respect copyright.PENANABklh79G3ax
她的強勢是必須的,要在後宮中生存下來,把一兒兩女養育成人,從來就不是件易事。73Please respect copyright.PENANA1gLXTmG2yg
73Please respect copyright.PENANAv0RDQKHR6W
說句大不敬的話,靜德娘娘就沒有做到這點。73Please respect copyright.PENANAGrtYkd11nO
73Please respect copyright.PENANAVJRxhXow3W
如果換作世嬅是她母親,大概也願意把孩子交托到程貴妃娘娘的手裡。73Please respect copyright.PENANAW71MbNcnfQ
73Please respect copyright.PENANAYX2sjefpXd
但即便強勢如此,姨母還是沒有辦法保住自己女兒的幸福。73Please respect copyright.PENANAdQ4k72BJK7
73Please respect copyright.PENANAr2cBMLVnYF
其實認真細想起來,那時姨母大病初癒,負氣說聖上不惜犧牲敏兒來攻打大宛,所有苦心經營的一切,最終只會便宜了太子和皇孫,這些話並沒有說錯。73Please respect copyright.PENANAE2VUDyVxN4
73Please respect copyright.PENANAsoOruJr2BY
聖上可以隨便把寵愛有加的敏兒當作犧牲品,但敏兒卻是姨母的心頭肉啊,如果有人要用她女兒的終身去換甚麼勞什子國家大義,世嬅也不可能那麼輕易的擺擺手就讓事情過去了。73Please respect copyright.PENANAdctEhWvgAc
73Please respect copyright.PENANAK2yfxCADp5
而就算是到了現在,東宮和貴和宮暗地裡鬥成了水火不容的形勢,姨母也不過是讓她到寢宮中罰跪,雖說是苦,卻不是要人命的。73Please respect copyright.PENANAiHcdwIjeFm
73Please respect copyright.PENANAGYfmU0spEF
人心,是很複雜矛盾且搖擺不定的。73Please respect copyright.PENANAgtvQBGHOj0
73Please respect copyright.PENANAR7MgjByq7N
或者在姨母心中也有著許多掙扎吧?恨太子,也恨她這個姨甥女的不聽話和背叛,卻又沒法真的狠下心來把他們的孩子殺掉。73Please respect copyright.PENANAVmcrsUaCY5
73Please respect copyright.PENANAKGv4j8YQhU
那又是怎樣的一番滋味?73Please respect copyright.PENANAtDsAKQpn4r
73Please respect copyright.PENANAgjaBx0a9Se
以聖上消息靈通的程度,世嬅絕不相信,他會對姨母的處罰一無所知。73Please respect copyright.PENANAlolkYLEl0b
73Please respect copyright.PENANAOZNjbzdNxk
他默不作聲,不是因為不在意皇孫,而是因為他很清楚姨母是個怎樣的人。73Please respect copyright.PENANAAaC8zhB8hQ
73Please respect copyright.PENANAB2SFZzVJlZ
更何況,護著世嬅讓其長大的人,確是姨母啊。或者正因此,才讓世嬅心裡存著愧疚,沒有多說甚麼,只每天乖乖到貴和宮去,讓跪就跪,要罰便罰。
73Please respect copyright.PENANAb1Zm96LjJw
73Please respect copyright.PENANAqp88v4ntdh
如果這樣能讓姨母消氣的話,或者她的孩子就能平安一些;而順天朝亦能免去一場大風雨。73Please respect copyright.PENANApE439fkALe
73Please respect copyright.PENANA2tsM3dTB0N
這天是八月十四,中秋佳節的前夕。人月兩團圓的日子,卻不知她的良人,如今身在何處。73Please respect copyright.PENANA23J0dTD9ot
73Please respect copyright.PENANAtvqIi2siy4
世嬅跟剛玉前往榮昌宮上香後,便一同到了貴和宮。73Please respect copyright.PENANAcU0MMraact
73Please respect copyright.PENANAnF7ig2WVaa
上至各宮娘娘,下至低階宮娥,人人早已換上秋裝。時近中秋,宮娥更是統一的披上了如落葉般澄黃的宮裝,滿宮秋色,煞是好看。73Please respect copyright.PENANAprC9oyGJT9
73Please respect copyright.PENANApx34l04rS8
待於正殿行了禮,世嬅便直接往後頭走去,準備到姨母的寢宮罰跪去。
73Please respect copyright.PENANA4F2hFEfF7s
73Please respect copyright.PENANADAAfaZzvVO
卻沒想到,竟在途中遇上了五公主凌欣弦。
73Please respect copyright.PENANAPKhYvPxD7D
73Please respect copyright.PENANARojk48tDMI
說起來,世嬅已有很久沒見到欣兒了。
73Please respect copyright.PENANASOUMkJlMzW
73Please respect copyright.PENANACN3TGUJvS3
自敏兒出事之後,姨母就把欣兒牢牢守著,上次宮裡傳出了姨母色衰愛馳的傳言,欣兒發了好大一頓脾氣,姨母便不再讓她隨意踏出秀緻宮。甚至連眾人到貴和宮請安時,也不見她的蹤影。
73Please respect copyright.PENANAeEBmWsJ4Ap
73Please respect copyright.PENANAC1SbCDRVTL
世嬅沒料到,今日竟會遇見她,「五公主好。」率先開口打招呼。
73Please respect copyright.PENANAPpFZDuH1YZ
73Please respect copyright.PENANAmzOShiVi8p
欣弦的腳步一頓,竟也屈膝為禮:「見過皇嫂。」又站在原地等著世嬅走近。73Please respect copyright.PENANAShwXSj0Zaq
73Please respect copyright.PENANAEpkcktMPA7
世嬅不無意外的眨了眨眼,自嫁入東宮以來,欣弦就沒有給過她好臉色,更別說是像今天這樣規規矩矩的行禮了。73Please respect copyright.PENANAfPdccl3HNk
73Please respect copyright.PENANAGz1fq4UUN0
她來到欣弦身前停下,「有好一陣子沒見到五公主了,殿下別來無恙嗎?」73Please respect copyright.PENANAt4JQGm5dRn
73Please respect copyright.PENANAT9BqhsKanh
「欣兒一切安好,皇嫂呢?」說的話大方得體。73Please respect copyright.PENANAUC8yAONK6A
73Please respect copyright.PENANA06ZLXpiCJi
「好,都很好。」世嬅微笑著答了,然後兩人便沉默不語的瞅著對方。73Please respect copyright.PENANAY1fxSB73vw
73Please respect copyright.PENANA1cTU4Wuend
好半晌後,見欣弦還是沒有打算說話,世嬅只得揚起嘴角道:「公主安好就好,我還得趕去給娘娘請安呢。」說著便邁步,繞過欣弦繼續往前走。
73Please respect copyright.PENANAbX02X6Q4Cc
73Please respect copyright.PENANAh18tjA5Zrt
直到兩人錯身而過之時,欣弦才突然出手,一把抓住世嬅的手肘。
73Please respect copyright.PENANAWcO07sSeqz
73Please respect copyright.PENANAquNflIyVzR
采露驚呼了聲,就怕欣弦是要出手傷人,忙伸手去攔:「五公主殿下⋯⋯」73Please respect copyright.PENANA3qL28mVTeh
73Please respect copyright.PENANAB3qII6ykjJ
欣弦不耐煩地瞪了采露一眼。這一眼,倒是有點像她平常的樣子,「妳們不用像是防賊似的,難道本公主還會傷害太子妃嗎?」
73Please respect copyright.PENANAiboXjmrPpB
73Please respect copyright.PENANAlKtK1iD3qv
不知怎的,聽她這樣說話,世嬅的心反而定了下來,平靜地垂下頭來,看向自己被抓住的手肘。
73Please respect copyright.PENANAPiSvdpDep9
73Please respect copyright.PENANAhhk8NxM705
她認識的欣弦,就該是這個樣子的。73Please respect copyright.PENANATd1nc6Rrj9
73Please respect copyright.PENANAsm6kp3vEQZ
「公主別惱,是她們大驚小怪了。」世嬅安撫的道,又追問:「公主可是有話要跟我說?」
73Please respect copyright.PENANALUoyW8NN8P
73Please respect copyright.PENANAaPnyOhMvtW
不知怎的,欣弦氣一窒,才剛撐起的氣勢立刻洩了下去,「我、我才沒有話要跟妳說⋯⋯」
73Please respect copyright.PENANA6woTeMfPpb
73Please respect copyright.PENANAuzZhuC2YyC
世嬅輕挑柳眉,揚起嘴角。
73Please respect copyright.PENANADyO1Zp5I95
73Please respect copyright.PENANA0RTG7OLg2u
「啊?我倒是想起來了有些話想跟五公主談談。不知公主能不能陪我一同走去娘娘的寢宮呢?」
73Please respect copyright.PENANA394HJJRvUe
73Please respect copyright.PENANAexpo6hhlOr
欣弦不無訝異的瞅了世嬅一眼,卻也不再猶豫,微仰著下巴,不失驕傲的道:「好吧,那本公主就陪妳走一趟吧。」說完隨即轉回過身來,挽著世嬅向前走,又粗聲喝住東宮的人:「妳們貼這麼緊幹甚麼?還怕我把妳們家主子給偷了嗎?」
73Please respect copyright.PENANAlBks1Srygh
73Please respect copyright.PENANAx2567Jalvv
世嬅聞言輕笑,空出來的那隻手悄悄從後揮了揮,讓東宮的人後退兩步。
73Please respect copyright.PENANAQIotpW60V5
73Please respect copyright.PENANAkOzKSXDGiS
她們倆也有許久沒這樣挽著手走路了。
73Please respect copyright.PENANATELjW740j9
73Please respect copyright.PENANAXnS166rxmO
上一次又是甚麼時候呢?是聖上賜婚之前嗎?
73Please respect copyright.PENANA29Ap92MQnp
73Please respect copyright.PENANAdKwuW1WAap
世嬅其實也沒甚麼事情得跟欣弦說,就只是靜靜走著,等待這個小表妹準備好。73Please respect copyright.PENANANUMMCyCaWi
73Please respect copyright.PENANALhGO5Jsl8M
過不了多久,欣弦終於掙扎著開了口:「妳知道,母妃想把我盡快嫁進張家嗎?」
73Please respect copyright.PENANAVTl34Z91OB
73Please respect copyright.PENANA317DymQxmY
世嬅眼望前方,搖搖頭,只問:「是定好日子了嗎?」73Please respect copyright.PENANAF782YHhxNg
---------73Please respect copyright.PENANAhgfXUc3RT5
作者有話說:
或者每個故事都有其立意。除了想寫一本讀者會願意一再重讀的小說外,小的在構想這個故事時,心中想著的就是以下這兩點:
「然而,善惡黑白並不永遠那麼分明。」
「人心,是很複雜矛盾且搖擺不定的。」
終於透過世嬅的內心獨白和思考寫了出來。人的立場,可以決定很多事情;而善惡黑白分明的故事也太不夠意思了。我想寫的,就是這樣的一個故事吧?希望能夠好好呈現出來。73Please respect copyright.PENANAjtuKgEzPhg
73Please respect copyright.PENANAa0LALZWXld
又,如果說故事人物亦有屬於自己的MBTI,世嬅的應該會是INFJ?同理心之強,也不是人人能做到的。73Please respect copyright.PENANAmzx5ztEOR7
