Chunman Palace

Chapter 93
Seeing the arrival of spring and the thawing of the glaciers, Lin Qingyu could always hear the sound of the river melting and flowing at night, and fell into a dream in his heart, and could always see the scene of Xuan Yin taking her back to the palace with the palace servants in his dreams.

Such a scene would wake her up every time.

And finally, the lake water has completely unblocked the ice, and the falling petals also flow wantonly with the lake water, floating anywhere.

Just a few days ago, the people in the palace brought several boxes of Huayi jewelry and said that they would come to pick her up and return to the palace in three days.

And her status has also been raised to become a concubine.

In the silent night, the fragrance is scattered, so tactfully, fluttering like a bird with broken wings, it has long lost its agility and freedom, and can no longer fly tactfully, leaving only a smear of blood, shattering all fantasies and dreams .Despair, like Ling Chi's knife, cuts flesh bit by bit.

As cool as soaking in frozen river water.

In the depths of the leak, a lamp in the house was like a bean, Lin Qingyu was completely sleepless, and picked up the silver hairpin beside him to fiddle with the candle wick, as if this could light up his heart.

She thought of the dramas and books she had read, and the feeling went deeper and deeper without knowing where it started.She used to think that love could transcend life and death, and not be afraid of ghosts and gods, but now it seems that it is all a dream, like a bubble with nowhere to go.

Even if the love is deep, you can't resist thousands of things in this world.

She raised the cup and stared at the extremely dark tea in it. She felt like a cup of extremely bitter poison, cold and intrusive. After such a short night, the originally sweet and mellow tea became bitter and bitter. It's cold and hard to eat.

The world is changeable, and people's hearts are even worse.

She knows this truth, but so what?Everything is a foregone conclusion and cannot be easily changed.

If you don't like it, if you don't like it, you can only do it like this.

Everyone in the harem thought she was returning to the palace as a "medicine", but she wanted to dress up in the most beautiful and luxurious way, instead of going back clean and simple like Concubine Lan. She wanted everyone in the harem to remember her The demeanor is brilliance.

After opening the lock box that Xuan Yin had sent her, she picked out the clothes and jewelry, and did her makeup in front of the mirror.After a long time, she stared at the mirror, and the person in front of her eyes had cleared away the gloomy complexion before, and became bright and unrecognizable.Like a glamorous mask, cold and without front.

She just looked at herself like this for an unknown amount of time.

Outside the door, there was a lively voice.

I saw Mo'er was talking with several palace people, seeing that Lin Qingyu was dressed up, a bit of surprise flashed in her eyes, "Has the master dressed up yet?" when.

There were only two people who came to greet her, one was Li Qiao who was beside Xuan Yin, and the other was Eunuch Kang who was beside the Queen.

But she didn't understand what this trip meant.

Lin Qingyu lamented the rapid changes, and only slightly nodded, "You two father-in-laws, please wait on the shore."

Mo'er leaned close to her and asked softly, "Sister, what else do you want to order?"

As the saying goes, one hundred secrets and one sparse, what she is most worried about is that after returning to the palace, these two women in Huahua State will become her deathbed. If she is bought in the future and makes up a lot of words, she will be hard to argue with.

After all, in this vanity state, only the four of them are often together.

She pulled out a jade hairpin from her head, took off the two silver beads attached to the hairpin, broke off the shell, and poured the two pills inside into Mo'er's hand, saying: "This medicine is mild, give them well." One ride."

After all these things, Mo'er also understood Lin Qingyu's intentions, so she didn't refuse, but nodded emphatically.

Just as she was about to leave, she turned around and grabbed Mo'er's arm and said, "Zeyu's boat has been hidden in the dry reeds on the east side, go and tell Zeyu to wait half an hour before setting off, so as not to send me back. The palace ships met."

"Sister, don't worry, I will make it clear to Zezuo's guard."

She didn't say anything, just turned around resolutely, looked up at the bright and brilliant sky, and felt the warm light of spring falling on every part of her body.

"Such a good sunshine, such a free breeze, I will never feel it again in the future."

She closed her eyes and smiled sadly and bitterly, like a butterfly whose wings were damaged by the wind among the flowers, fluttering its wings slightly on the tip of the flower, weeping silently.

"Goodbye, my love, my dream."

There was a chill in her heart, she didn't know how she got into the boat, let alone how to sit in that gorgeous cabin, she looked at the wide bed where people could lie flat, and snorted unconsciously.

When she came, she just sat in that narrow and dense boat, but she had never seen such a spacious and gorgeous boat.

It's just such a gorgeous and airtight box, which makes people almost suffocate. She walked to the bow of the boat unnaturally and looked at the water. As the oars moved, her heart felt dull pain as if being hit heavily.She tried to raise the water with her hands, and looked back.

And she didn't see anything in the end, the man's boat didn't follow.

After a little silence, Mo'er came with a bowl of red bean soup, and her voice was also somewhat lonely: "Red beans are the most missed thing, if the master misses you, how about drinking some boiled red bean soup to relieve your longing? The slaves have added a lot of sugar to it, drinking sweetness will not make you feel bitter."

Lin Qingyu looked at the dark red soup and sighed: "Red beans are the most lovesick thing. If you drink it, wouldn't it be more lovesick? If this is a bowl of Mengpo soup, maybe it can relieve the worries in your heart."

Li Qiao, who was at the bow of the boat, immediately said cheerfully, "Your concubine is joking, this Vanity City is a lonely and lonely place, and it can't compare to the prosperity and prosperity of Xuanming City. What do you miss?"

"Even in poverty and loneliness, there is always time for freedom." Lin Qingyu said lightly, pushed the red bean soup bowl, still looked at the distant water, and said softly: "If I go back to Xuanming City, can I still go back and forth freely?"

Li Qiao didn't hear clearly, stepped forward respectfully, bowed, and asked, "What are you talking about? Excuse me for my clumsy ears, but I couldn't hear clearly because of the loud noise."

Mo'er explained: "My master just said that I missed my family when I was in Huahua State, and I missed Xuanming City even more. Now I don't need these red beans to relieve the pain of lovesickness, so let me pour it." She picked up the bowl. Red bean soup, so I have to go back to the cabin.

Li Qiao stepped forward and said, "Mo'er, this concubine doesn't like red bean soup, I would like to try your cooking."

Mo'er immediately understood what he was thinking, and smiled brightly: "Okay, but not everyone can afford my red bean soup, you have to promise me to do something."

"What's the matter? Say whatever you want."

Mo'er glanced at Lin Qingyu, then said, "Come in first."

Lin Qingyu heard the slight sound of her clothes swaying in the wind, recalling the ghostly branches that stretched over her head that day, Zeyi picked her up after being bitten by a poisonous snake and walked away for a long time. She also seemed to have a long dream.But the dream is about to wake up eventually, and she didn't expect it, the dream woke up so quickly, there was no time to miss it.

After two days and two nights, they finally arrived outside Xuanming City.

Walking across the water all the way, the rod is also luxurious and cumbersome, and all the palace people follow closely behind.Lin Qingyu got out of the sedan chair slowly, and stepped towards the vermilion soft blanket. The soft and thick blanket was stepped heavily under the golden lamp wearing butterfly jade shoes, which made her feel very strange.

She turned her head to look at Mo'er who led her forward, but she saw Zechu standing on the steps in front of the hall, she unconsciously turned to the horizon, the dazzling sun, the dazzling red.

Under the bright sunlight, everything is like mustard dust, annihilated as trivial dust in the world of mortals.She seems to be condescending, like a mountain peak that is full of tomorrow, and she has a bit of courage in her heart. She wants to trample all those who have hurt her under her feet and grind them into gray powder. She wants to avenge the most noble emperor in the world.

On the jade steps, the red brocade carpet spreads upwards, and at the end of the red carpet is the person waiting for her.But that day was not the emperor, but the empress Liu Xunyan.To welcome the concubine into the palace, she still wears the phoenix-patterned Xiapei, and the crown on the top of her head is embellished with huge oriental beads. She is unparalleled in dignity and elegance, and looks noble and graceful from a distance.

Lin Qingyu looked at the kind-faced queen, straightened her clothes, adorned with necklaces and brocade robes, and walked forward solemnly and steadily.

She bowed her knees and saluted: "The concubine is back, I wish the empress a good health and a long blessing."

The queen smiled kindly, and asked Shu Xiang beside her to help her up while speaking, her voice was full of spring breeze: "Concubine concubine, how have you been doing these two years?"

Lin Qingyu raised her eyes slowly, and said with a slight smile: "Thanks to the empress's concern, these days in Huahua State, the concubine's life is not bad."

The queen smiled and said: "Concubine Jin is not feeling well, the emperor went to visit, so I come here to pick you up from the palace." She took a winter jasmine and put it in Lin Qingyu's hand, and said softly: "Concubine Jin is pregnant with the emperor's heir. , the emperor attaches great importance to her, but I feel sorry for you."

After finishing speaking, she sighed softly again: "Concubine Jin's unwell body is too critical. Originally, the emperor and this palace are both here, so it's considered your return ceremony."

Lin Qingyu knew it in her heart, but she still said calmly: "It is a great honor for a concubine to be greeted by the empress in person, so why would she mind?" She paused, then said: "The concubine Jin has her own ancestors. Bless you, you will be safe and sound."

The queen smiled: "It's good if you understand." She stepped forward and gently took Lin Qingyu's hand, and said softly: "The emperor actually told me the year before last that I would welcome you back to the palace. It's a bit cumbersome, and the lake was frozen when we were ready, so we had to wait until this year to finally see Concubine Concubine again."

How can one not be moved by such a hush and care and caring.

Lin Qingyu said gratefully: "The empress cares about the concubines, so why don't the concubines care about the empress from time to time? Before leaving the palace, the empress taught the concubines many times. At that time, the concubines didn't understand the use of empresses. I think back a lot, but I regret it.”

"It's not too late for you to understand the truth." The queen patted Lin Qingyu's hand lightly, and continued: "The queen mother has always cared about you for the past two years. state."

Lin Qingyu said: "The concubine will greet the Queen Mother immediately after returning to the palace."

The queen's eyes dimmed, and then she sighed: "Well, the queen mother has been weak recently, you go and see her, and talk to the queen mother, maybe it will be better." She winked at Shuxiang, and reached out to bring the medicine. The decree of clarity.

"Concubine Concubine, please wait for a moment, I will come to announce the canonized decree."

As soon as the words fell, Shu Xiang walked around the palace and went back. After a while, I saw Shu Xiang hurried back, and a bright yellow color flashed in the distance, followed by a gorgeous figure.

When the figure was clear, the queen stepped forward and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, my concubine has been waiting here for a long time."

Xuan Yin nodded, looked at Lin Qingyu coldly, his eyes trembled a little, and then calmly said: "Then let Concubine Jin read the will of the canonization."

The queen was slightly surprised, and said hesitantly: "This... Your Majesty, as the master of the harem, the concubine should read the will of the concubine's canonization."

"The Queen is right, but the position of Concubine Jin is what Concubine Jin requested from me. In order to show the friendship between the two sisters, it should be Concubine Jin who read it out." Xuan Yin glanced at the Queen and said peacefully: "After all, Concubine Jin The concubine also has the right to assist the Six Palaces, so asking her to read out the will is not considered overstepping."

Lin Qingyu was calm and composed, pinching the fingertips with the fingers hidden in the sleeves.She naturally knew that Xuan Yin gave her the title of concubine before welcoming her back, but now she has the title of concubine, she jumped a few steps in a row, but she is like an empty shell of glory.

Concubine Jin, with a weak willow and Fufeng, with a look of decaying flowers, gently attached the bright red color to Xuan Yin's side, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, it is difficult for a concubine to take on this task, why don't you let the empress read the will? "

"I said you can do it, so you can do it." Xuan Yin emphasized his voice, and then glanced at the queen, signaling her to hand over the imperial edict in her hand to Concubine Jin.

"Your Majesty, the concubine is satisfied to see my concubine and sister again. The purpose of this canonization..." Concubine Jin coughed a few times, and said weakly: "The concubine is really not up to the task."

Xuan Yin's eyes softened, and he said gently: "Since you are not feeling well, that's all. The queen read it."

The queen's eyelids twitched, she opened the imperial decree calmly, and solemnly read:
"I only praise the palace at the beginning of the teaching, the dignified and dignified model. Respect the title, the merit of the appearance, the dedication to the meritorious family, the obedience to the fragrance, the virtue and the harmony, and the graceful appearance. I hereby honor the Queen Mother's benevolence. , With the book treasure, Lin's family was named a concubine. Erqi only worked hard at Suye, and assisted the fan and made the Huiyin of the heir. Yanqing's family state, the position of the wife, and she will always be a family member and qinzai."

After the decree was read out, Xuan Yin's expression was a little indifferent.

Mu Pingting smiled slightly, stepped forward to hold Lin Qingyu's hand and said, "I finally met my sister. After a few years of separation, my sister thought that I would never see my sister again in this life." The corners of her eyes were stained with tears, trembling crystal clear .

Lin Qingyu only felt hypocrisy, so he gently held her hand, looked down at Mu Pingting's swollen abdomen, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for many years, my sister is more and more blessed, I just hope that my sister will give birth to the prince safely, Recognize me as a godmother."

Mu Pingting smiled deeply: "Speaking of luck, whose luck is better than my sister's? If my sister's blessing can be nurtured, how can my sister's womb be unsafe?"

"My sister was joking, isn't my sister's blessing all from my sister?" Lin Qingyu took off a white jade bracelet from her wrist, put it on Mu Pingting's wrist lightly, and said briskly: "This bracelet is Take it as a gift to recognize me as a godmother, sister, don't think about going back on your word."
