Moge entered the capital on July 20th, the hottest day in Beijing. Xuan Ling did not want to meet him in the capital, so he summoned Moge in the Taiping Palace in Xijing under the pretext of "escape from the summer heat".
The weather is getting hotter day by day, and the annoyance in my heart is getting stronger day by day. Because of Moge's entry into Xijing, the palace has become more depressed. Even on the day when the sun is shining like gold, there is still a hint of mountain rain.
The heaviness and darkness of desire. Concubine De asked me quietly when she came to see me, "I heard that Moge has been staying at the hotel for more than ten days. The emperor entertained her with good food and drinks. He was very considerate and considerate of everything, but he kept evading it."
I don’t want to see you, but what’s going on?”
Her eyes were quite inquiring. I waved my hands and said: "I am a woman, how can I know this? Sister, don't ask me!"
Concubine De said with worry: "You don't know either, who else can I ask?"
I smiled and said, "God's will is unpredictable, who knows."
Concubine De clasped her hands together, recited "Amitabha", and said: "The emperor doesn't know what he means. He has been hiding in the green Nanxun Hall for the past few days and refused to come out. He said it was because he was sad for the Queen Mother's new loss and was suffering from the heat. Concubine
We went to visit but refused to see him, and only asked Concubine Yan to stay with me. I don’t know what happened. I thought, since it’s such a hot weather, why not ask the imperial doctor to take a look. When I asked today, he said Lord Wen wasn’t here either.”
I said: "Master Wen is like this. He wants to guard Concubine Huiyi's Zi Palace to confess her sins. He has been like this for many years."
Concubine De said "Oh", "That's right, but this time the journey was long and I haven't seen him for several days. The Emperor is afraid of hurting his health if he is with Yan Concubine like this day and night."
It happened that on this day, Yu Yin, Yu Yao and Yu Rao were all there. Yu Yin had always been silent. Yu Rao hugged Ling Xi and teased her on her lap. Yu Yin couldn't help but frown and said: "Without Fu Ruyin,
Here comes Ye Lanyi, not to mention her humble background, but she is also charming and charming. The Queen Mother is newly mourned, and the Emperor is really unhappy. He should accompany his eldest sister, when will it be her turn."
Hearing this annoying sentence, I couldn't help but turn away and frowned. Yurao handed over a cup of tea and said with a smile, "Second sister, moisturize her throat. I don't know what's wrong with second sister. She seems to dislike seeing Concubine Yan."
Yu Yin raised her beautiful eyebrows and said with a smile: "When will I stop waiting to see her? She is the emperor's favorite concubine, how dare I not wait to see her? I'm just complaining for my eldest sister."
I coughed lightly, raised my eyes and said, "It makes me sad to say this. Except for Yu Yao who is not married and Yu Rao who is the concubine, who here is not a concubine?"
Concubine De hurriedly smiled and tried to smooth things over: "That's not what you said. My sister is a concubine who holds the power of the Sixth Palace. In the past, no one had such authority except the queen. How could the emperor ever regard my sister as a concubine?"
With a faint smile on my face, I knocked my armor on the red sandalwood table, "Your reputation lies, and you don't dare to overstep it. I am self-aware, and there is no need for my sister to comfort me."
Yu Yin's cheeks turned red and she was so embarrassed that she had to take a sip of tea to cover it up. Concubine De sighed and said: "It's no wonder that Concubine Yin wants to complain about you. Who in the Sixth Palace doesn't have a lot of complaints about Concubine Yan right now?" She said.
He lowered his voice and said, "The emperor is unwilling to come out and give an explanation. Moge's matter has been dragged on like this..."
Yurao raised her head and said: "I heard that Na Moge is not in a hurry. He can find someone to accompany him to enjoy the Xijing wind dance. It's very leisurely." She looked sad in a rare way, holding her chin and said: "It's hard for Jiulang to be so angry in the palace.
The country was in crisis, so he was naturally eager to serve on the battlefield. He just handed over several instructions, but the emperor didn't even say a word in reply."
Concubine De consoled her harmoniously: "The Nine Kings are still young, so they will naturally have the opportunity to make contributions."
Yurao said sadly: "I don't know, it's just Jiulang. Even if others don't tell others, we all know what Sixth Brother is capable of."
Yu Yin suddenly woke up and said with a smile: "You don't need to put gold on the prince's face. His three or three skills are just used in horseback riding and archery. How can he really go into battle to kill the enemy? The emperor knows people and uses them well."
No need for the prince."
Yurao smiled and said nothing more. Everyone was sitting and drinking tea. Li Chang quietly came in, cupped his hands, and said happily: "Returning to your Majesty, this is great news. God is really blessing me, Zhou, those illustrious people outside Yanming Pass."
Somehow, many people among the barbarians contracted the epidemic, and they fell down one after another. There was no way to cure them. Then the illustrious Khan was anxious and wanted to see the emperor."
A faint smile appeared on his lips, and he finally became anxious.
Concubine De hurriedly asked: "Does the Emperor know?"
Li Chang smiled so hard that he narrowed his eyes, "Such good news, I can only go back when the queen is here, and let the queen help me collect the reward!"
I chuckled and said, "Just be glib."
Concubine De hurriedly stood up and said, "My sister has something important to do, so I will leave first."
I hurriedly called out: "Yu Rao, hurry up and send Concubine De for me."
Yurao hurriedly went out, and Yuyin followed me inside to change clothes. Seeing that no one else was there, he said anxiously: "Now the Hehe offensive has retreated slightly, but no matter what, the eldest sister must not let the prince go to the border. On the battlefield, swords and guns have no eyes to say, Your Majesty."
We should be wary of the prince’s talent. King Runan has learned from his mistakes in this military exploit..."
I nodded and said solemnly: "I understand."
When I walked outside the Shuilu Nanxun Hall, I could only hear the silence everywhere, as quiet as if there was no one around. I was about to let the little eunuch guarding outside go in to report, but I heard a "squeak" and a bright shadow.
In a flash, Concubine Yan walked out with a tired look on her face.
She raised her head to see me and bowed slightly as a courtesy. I quickly supported her and said, "You have been wronged."
She sneered, which was considered a laugh, "Indeed, I am really tired after sitting in the chair day after day without being allowed to move or talk. Seeing him worried and unable to have a seizure."
I nodded gently and said, "At this time, how can the emperor have the intention to favor the concubine? You will be charged in vain."
She chuckled lightly, but there was no smile in her eyes coldly, "I'm used to it. Who else deserves to bear such a crime except me."
I felt sour in my heart and was about to speak, but I heard Xuan Ling laughing loudly from inside: "Okay! I really have the epidemic, that is great news!"
I hurriedly turned around, only to see Li Chang also looking surprised and puzzled. Yan Bin looked at me lightly and said, "You just entered the small building."
Li Chang said in shock: "I just learned the news, my servant. How did that little guy from Xiaoxiazi know about it?"
Yan Bin straightened the bee flower button on her collar and said in a low voice: "Be careful, Xiaoxiazi belongs to Hu Yunrong."
I came back to my senses, smiled and said: "Li Chang, go in quickly and wait on me. I'm tired, so go back and rest first."
Finally, at noon three days later, Xuan Ling held a banquet in the Taiping Palace to entertain Moge who had come from afar. Early in the morning, little Yunzi tutted at me and said, "I heard that Moge Khan paid tribute to a bear bear. It is said to be very ferocious."
He shook his head and said, "Most of the tributes from others are gold, jewels, jade or exotic fragrances. It would be better for him to pay tribute with a bear bear. It shows that barbarians are barbarians."
I only heard it lightly.
It's just a bear. Is it more terrifying than a person's murderous intention?
Silently, I just kept my eyebrows silent, and the thin snails and daisies turned into jade, and the two willow eyebrows on my cheeks were slightly raised. After several years of life and death, there was a little more ferocity. I painted my eyebrows rounder to make them appear gentler.
The calm charm of a palace concubine.
Because the Empress Dowager was newly mourned, even the banquet was not in bright colors. She was draped in a long gown with wide sleeves made of hibiscus and gold. Gold-woven hibiscus and begonias were intoxicated on the skirt. Green phoenixes gently peeked their heads from among the flowers. Trees and phoenix hairpins swayed gracefully.
In the high bun, at the moment when the pearls were shining, I suddenly recalled that I traveled with Xuan Qing in the past, looking at flowers in the front and rear mirrors, and how beautiful the flowers reflected each other. Compared to the gorgeous reflection in the bronze mirror at this moment, I felt that time was far away.
, take away infinite years.
Summer flowers are blooming outside the window, and handfuls of red lotus flowers are blooming densely outside the Yifu Pavilion. They are no different from those in the past. The flowers are the same every year. Only people are unknowingly eroded by the irresistible time.
Face and mood.
Xuan Qing and Yu Yin will also attend today's palace banquet. Every time we meet like this, does he also feel that Zhen Huan and I are getting further and further apart?
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but sigh, feeling desolate in my heart. The seawater jade embellished pearl-embellished phoenix hairpin in my hand was also put down without interest. The hairpin was placed on the dressing table with only a slight sound. Jin Xi was already
Realizing that, she turned away from everyone, carefully selected a pair of flying swallow dangle earrings and put them in my ears, and said softly: "I know that the queen often does not want to meet the prince in the palace, and I also know that the queen is always suspicious.
It's quite serious that the queen may not know that she is so concerned about Concubine Yin. If she sees the look on Concubine Yin, she may have another resentment." She paused and seemed to sigh, "Since Concubine Jing passed away, the prince's treatment of Concubine Yin has remained the same as usual.
Outsiders say that the prince and his wife are affectionate, but we all know what's going on inside. Pu'er mentioned it once or twice that although the prince often spends the night at the concubine's house, he is always relatively silent and only superficial. The servant is suspicious.
, Your Majesty is always smart, I am afraid he is already suspicious of Concubine Jing’s death.”
I sighed deeply and frowned deeply, "Why don't I know this? It's just that since the prince kept silent, he must have taken into account the face of the Zhen family. Moreover, Yu Yin did know his mistake and took good care of Yu Che over the years. She was here.
The palace seems to be beautiful, but you and I both know that she is lonely. Yuyin has been in trouble since she was a child, and it is inevitable that she will be too cautious in her words and deeds. I cannot bear to be too harsh. I have asked Cai Ge to persuade the prince. After all, their life as a couple
It won’t last long, do we really want to live like this?”
Jin Xi nodded and said: "I know that the empress has worked hard, and also knows that the empress protects Concubine Yin in every possible way. Even though Concubine Yin has made mistakes, there is a saying that I deeply agree with. From the perspective of Concubine Yin, naturally I don't want your empress to do it again.
She cares about the prince, so she will inevitably be suspicious whenever the queen is unhappy. When everyone in the palace looks at the queen, they naturally feel that the queen is a concubine and is deeply favored by the saints, so she should not have all kinds of regrets. The servant understands that the queen forces her face to smile in front of others, and her heart is deep.
I feel that I can't bear it. But I still want to advise the queen, since she has forced her face to look cheerful, she should not show her gloominess anymore. There are many eyes and ears in the palace, and there are many people who covet the honor of the queen. If the queen can get used to using honor and laughter as her mask,
Only by never taking it off can you stay safe."
I sighed deeply, "Jin Xi, you are always the one who is most willing to understand me and give me advice. While I am in the palace, I really shouldn't recall the past and cause trouble."
Jin Xi smiled softly and said, "It's not inappropriate to remember that I know when my Majesty was most happy in her life. If it hadn't been for that time, I'm afraid that My Majesty's life would have been even harder. I just feel that only when we express our happiness and anger at the right time can we be happy."
It will be safer and more stable in the palace." She arranged my clothes and said with a smile: "But please show a smile."
Even if we meet by strangers, separated by the silence of the deep palace, this is the most suitable destination for him and me. Looking back in the mirror, I show my face with a smile that is most suitable for a concubine, graceful and gentle, in line with the style of the heavenly family.
But at that moment, I was secretly shocked. My smoke-like smile once had some of the aura of the queen back then.
