"It is said that the souls of the deceased will rise to the sky and turn into stars. Looking at the attachment in the world, I wonder which star my sister is today?"
Hongde Longqiu also looked at the sky, looking at the stars. This was the first time he heard someone compare the stars to the human soul. He couldn't help but look at the woman again, looking at one of his many concubines.
member.
"Empress! Maybe your sister has been reincarnated as someone else and is living a happy life."
Meng Xinzhu smiled and asked, Concubine Zhu, after experiencing so much suffering in this life, is she still willing to be reincarnated as a human being? "Instead of believing that after a person dies, he will enter the Hall of Hell and suffer the eighteen levels of hell and then be reincarnated as a human being, I would rather believe that she went to heaven.
As a star, watching over the people who care about her and the people she cares about in this world, maybe this is her true happiness."
Eunuch Chen stood aside and listened to his master's words, thoughtfully. Then he said softly: "Mother, it's late at night, let's go back."
Meng Xinzhu looked at the incense that had not yet burned out, "You go back first, I want to sit down for a while."
"The servants should accompany the empress, Lotus, to pick up a cloak for the empress."
"Yes!" Lianhua turned around and was about to go back to her room, but saw two people standing in the darkness and couldn't help shouting: "Who are they?"
Meng Xinzhu was also surprised. Whether she was too focused on the sound of the piano or her sensitivity was severely reduced, she didn't realize there was someone standing behind her. But just as she was about to turn her head, she heard a cry that surprised her even more.
"emperor!"
Hongde Longqiu stood in the dark until the little palace maid found him. Eunuch Chen raised the lamp to take a look, knelt down and shouted: "Your Majesty!"
Meng Xinzhu was stunned, but her years of contingency training were not in vain. She instantly disguised her expression, lowered her eyes, lowered her head, stood up, knelt down on her knees, and said weakly: "I see you, Your Majesty."
Hongde Longqiu smiled and stepped forward to lift the woman up. The smell of medicine irritated his nose. He held up the woman's chin and forced her to look up at him. Disappointed, very disappointed, these eyes were lifeless.
As gray as ashes, her appearance, which was not outstanding in the first place, became even more bland. Hongde Longqiu let go of his hand and sighed, perhaps it was because of her appearance that her talent was buried.
Meng Xinzhu stumbled intentionally, Ru'er hurriedly stepped forward to help her.
Hongde Longqiu looked at her again, then sat down, stroking the guqin with his hand, recalling the music just now. Xiao Zhao had already opened the door to Ming Gong, and he hurriedly walked to the emperor. Hongde Longqiu asked slowly:
"How long has it been since my beloved concubine entered the palace?"
Favorite concubine? Meng Xinzhu couldn't help but smile in her heart. These two words came out of your mouth. It was really the funniest joke in the world. I wonder if Concubine Zhu would jump out of the coffin and stage a corpse scam after hearing your words.
case.
Seeing that Concubine Zhu was silent, Eunuch Ming smiled. When the concubines in the harem saw the emperor for the first time, most of them were so excited that they could not speak. He stepped forward and replied: "Back to the emperor, Concubine Zhu has been in the palace for ten years."
years."
Ten years! Hongde Longqiu nodded. He never remembered that there was such a concubine. She stayed in such a remote place for ten years. No wonder she could make such a tragic song using flowers as a metaphor. Although she
His appearance is ordinary, but his talent is very attractive. Hongde Longqiu looked at the guqin on the table and said, "Xiao Mingzi, declare that I will rest here today!"
Before Eunuch Ming could respond, he heard a woman's voice saying: "No, Your Majesty!"
Everyone looked at Meng Xinzhu with some surprise. Eunuch Chen and others couldn't help but worry about their master, thinking: My Majesty, your Majesty, isn't it that you have been waiting for me day and night to come to Zhuyuan? Now the wait is finally here, you
Why do you say this?
Hongde Longqiu stared at the kneeling Bamboo Concubine. In this palace, is there any concubine who doesn't want to be favored by her and would use all kinds of means to get this favor? And this Bamboo Concubine just used a song
He confided his dissatisfaction, why did he refuse now? He suddenly smiled again, this was just a common method used by concubines, to refuse even if they wanted to welcome her.
"Why did Zhu Fei say this?"
"Going back to the emperor, it is a blessing to be favored by the saint, but I am a chronically ill person. I have taken countless medicines in the past ten years, and I am afraid that I have become seriously ill. The emperor is the mainstay of the country and has a body of thousands. If I, because of a
If you have selfish desires and covet the emperor's favor, but harm the emperor's physical health, aren't you a sinner in the world? The emperor's favor is great, and I am grateful for my virtue, but I have more than enough heart and insufficient strength. I hope that the emperor will be considerate. I thank you, long live the emperor.
Long live!" Meng Xinzhu lowered his head, not only feeling nauseated by his lies, but also feeling unworthy that he had to bow his head to this rogue emperor.
Hongde Longqiu was stunned. This concubine refused him because of his own health. What a weird excuse. Ming Gonggong nodded, what Zhu Fei said is right. The emperor's dragon body is the foundation of the country. If there is
What a mistake, let alone the Bamboo Concubine, even his own life is in danger. "Your Majesty, what the Bamboo Concubine said is true. I hope the Emperor will sympathize with you and show your loyalty and patriotism!"
"Ugh!" Meng Xinzhu was already vomiting in her heart, loyal to the emperor and patriotic! This eunuch is really capable! Haha, but for the sake of helping her, she should thank him!
Xiao Zhao recalled the words of the imperial doctor the day before yesterday and stepped forward, "Your Majesty, it's already late at night, and the Bamboo Concubine is weak and sick. Let her rest early. If the Emperor likes it, you can come back to listen to the Bamboo Concubine playing the piano someday."
Unexpectedly, Xiao Zhao, who wanted to catch him, also helped him. It seemed that he had won the bet on the emperor's health. If Xiao Zhao knew that the woman in front of him was the one he wanted to hunt, would he vomit blood?
Hongde Longqiu smiled. In fact, he had no idea about Zhu Fei. He just sighed at her amazing song. "In that case, Zhu Fei, please rest early. I will enjoy your piano again in the future."
Voice."
Looking at his retreating figure, Meng Xinzhu really wanted to kick him a few times, but now was not the time to be impulsive. Looking at his appearance, he probably didn't recognize himself. This was really thanks to his makeup skills, and of course his acting skills.
Yes, but I also want to thank him for his good teaching. Thinking of this, Meng Xinzhu couldn't help but feel melancholy, and her heart ached. Now that she was trapped in this unknown dynasty, in this coordinateless time and space, she had really lost him completely.
Ru'er lifted up Meng Xinzhu who was kneeling on the ground, "Mother, what are you doing? It took a lot of effort to get the person here, but you..., alas -"
"You can keep people, but you can't keep your heart. Since you have no intention, what's the use of keeping?" Meng Xinzhu took a deep breath and told herself that she could no longer wallow in love and hurt. The most important thing now was to fulfill Zhu Fei's instructions and serve as her husband.
She asked them to save a "death-proof amulet", and then she could leave the palace with peace of mind and go see the great rivers and mountains in this time and space.
