Qingchuan History

Chapter 412

Ruan Xueyin stepped out of the threshold of the main hall, but the scene in the vestibule was quite different from when she entered.

There are palace people, quiet and orderly.

Change batches every season.

It is now the end of June.It's time to change again.

She didn't look at their faces.

Going out of the gate, the darkness of the imperial garden is only better than that of the Quefei hall.Ruan Xueyin raised her eyes to look at the extremely rare daylight between the gaps in the towering old trees. Walking in it, she felt like falling into a deep forest, and she felt a little dazed.

"It can be calculated."

Returning to Yunshui, Duan Xirun seems to have returned to her girlhood without wearing the palace skirts that should be worn by those ladies in Qi Palace.It should be her dress when she was not married. It is light and elegant, and it spreads among the tall trees and flowers like a butterfly about to dance.

But she didn't dare to say this aloud, and she didn't dare to call her sister, so she just came along and continued to ask in a low voice while walking:

"How did the talk go, is it all right?"

"Yeah. I'll tell you when I go back." I have to go out of the palace as soon as possible.

But he couldn't go back.A rather elderly palace maid appeared under the vines of an ancient tree not far away. Judging from the look on her face, she should have seniority and status.

"Aunt Zhiyun." Duan Xirun stepped forward, "Why are you standing here, but the queen mother has orders?"

The palace maid called Zhiyun saluted, then nodded to Ruan Xueyin, "The queen has invited a girl."

Duan Xirun's mother is probably the latest queen to be canonized in Qingchuan's 300-year history of the Seven Kingdoms.

Going for a walk and chatting in Qi Palace in the summer, at that time Xirun was still called the mother concubine.

It was in the first month of this year, Mrs. Zhuang, who has been with the current Lord Bai for more than [-] years, was seated in the middle palace.

It was such a sharp appearance.Before entering the palace to meet, Ruan Xueyin carefully recalled Duan Xirun's statement about her mother and concubine on Yuanluohua Trail, about the way of concubine imperial concubine not to fight or grab, and to live in peace.

Qiubo eyebrows, red phoenix eyes, and a small pointed chin when young, but now that the cheeks are slightly drooping, the lower jaw appears to be slightly wider, and the whole face becomes somewhat square.

Still sharp.She suddenly thought that Jing Tingge might have a similar appearance after forty.

The other party was also staring at her.

"Madam Pei's mole," said the woman in fine clothes on the high seat, said with a smile, "it's exquisite, no matter how big it is, it looks like a matchmaker, no matter how small it is, it's hard to belittle its appearance. As Run'er said, it's a person of ice and snow."

Her words seemed to be gentle and respectful in Xirun's mouth, her voice was soft and pleasant, and there was some solidity honed over the years.

"The empress can tell at a glance that Xueyin is thinking carefully, that's the real wisdom." Ruan Xueyin replied standing in the center of the hall, but the other party didn't give her a seat.

"Madam Pei can stand out among the most famous beauties in Qingchuan and become His Majesty Qi Jun's unique favorite person. Apart from her intelligence and talent, she must not lose her appearance. The truth in this world has always been the same, depending on how many twists and turns he has gone through , in the end, we still have to talk about strength."

Ruan Xueyin reacted to this for a moment, and suddenly wanted to be naughty, "The queen is also the same." She said.

After being closed in the late [-]s or even close to the [-]s, he persisted to the last strength.It's a joke and it's true.

The woman didn't think it was disobedient, "This palace is based on luck." She still smiled, "The crown prince died early, and among the princesses, His Majesty loves Run'er the most. Gong has been in the royal family for so many years, His Majesty would like to thank my mother and daughter for their kindness, and when we are here, just give me a compliment."

Her smile faded, and she seemed to sigh,

"But the seat of this palace is not hot right now, so I can't sit still."

Because Duan Xirun Qi Palace lost the emperor's favor, the so-called contribution to the country, is this contribution unfinished?

Ruan Xueyin didn't answer.He then listened to the other party continue:

"Mrs. Pei, this palace is just an ordinary woman in the deep palace, a wife, a mother, no better than you, with far-sighted considerations for the family, the country and the world. You can say that this palace is short-sighted, but now that Run'er is being wronged in Qigong, I really don't know. The palace can only blame you."

Apart from appearance, her demeanor and speech are all gentle, even such words are plain and aggrieved.

But Ruan Xueyin felt the killing intent.

It comes from the unique killing intent of women.

resentment.

"The queen wants to kill me too."

The woman was stunned, "Who else?"

"Your Majesty. Just now in the Quefei Hall, Xueyin is also on the line of life and death."

But she came out alive.

It means that Mr. Bai spared her life.

The king keeps his life, but the queen dare not steal it.

The woman's complexion suddenly darkened.Helpless and unwilling, he was caught without a fight.

"You rely on your own ability, and you have to be a husband, and you have to go smoothly." She spoke again after a long while, "My Runer is going to suffer like this for the first time. She is only 20 years old this year."

"In this life, there is always a choice between bitterness and sweetness. The Queen's journey took much longer than Xueyin's, and she must have understood this better than Xueyin."

The woman didn't say a word, she looked sad, and after a while she said slowly:
"But people have limitations. The choices they can make are also limited. You have all entered the Qi Palace as wives, and this destiny has been set. People will not be blessed in the back court, and as women, they will not be cared by the king. This palace thinks If not, there is no other choice to change bitterness into sweetness."

Ruan Xueyin was silent. "In this generation, within the rules, for some people, it may indeed be a dead end. But Xirun is not. I always feel that she has another way to go."

"Ms. Pei's heart is higher than the sky." The woman said in a deep voice, sighing and mocking, "Not only does she want to monopolize Jun's favor, but she also wants to change the fate of others."

"Don't dare. But follow the trend and see how far everyone can go on the established path."

The woman looked at her silently for a while, "Why is Mrs. Pei sneaking into Yunshui this time, I can't ask, and I can't control it. But you have to act, and you have to get out of the game. Don't pull my daughter."

It was a little tough, tougher than any of her previous words.Ruan Xueyin even felt that Bai Jun was included in the phrase "you".

"Xirun has always been in the game. From the moment our group of people went to Jidu in all directions, Qingchuan's dynasty has already started."

The main hall of the middle palace is also dark, only slightly better than the Quefei hall, presumably it is also due to Lord Bai's hidden illness.

"How sad it is for a woman to stand in the world." The woman closed her eyes for a moment, "It is difficult to see mountains and rivers in a lifetime, but to seek safety within a high wall. Success or failure, fame and fortune are all for men, but there are so many women. Confined by birth and so-called responsibilities, they stood in the invisible shadows and charged forward for these feats. In the end, there is no happy ending."

Women stand in the world.The teacher's admonition also begins with this sentence, but the content after that is completely different.

And those last two sentences made her suddenly think of Auntie.

Of course the other party wasn't talking about Ah Xie.

I remembered what Mr. Bai said earlier, one round.

Are you talking about her?After listening to the Xue Deng, Ruan Xueyin seldom thought of the word Duan Mingcheng, neither said it out nor said it in her heart, as if deliberately avoiding such absurd and secretive connection.

She occasionally thinks of this person and only uses, her.

"Xi Run told me," she said subconsciously, with very little thought, and said, "Since I was a child, I rarely heard about Mrs. Ming's affairs. The entire Bai Kingdom court also didn't talk much about it."

It's the opposite of the weather that spreads endlessly on the Qingchuan Continent.

The complexion of the woman in the gorgeous dress changed.Very fast, immediately calmed down.

"I heard from Run'er that Madam Pei lived in the palace of Qi Palace, which is the former residence of Madam Ming. You should know these past events better than us. Although she is the daughter of the Duan family, after all, she married out and never came back. .”

Never came back.This is the rest of my life.Ruan Xueyin thought silently.Is it all in Zhexue Palace?
"I forgot about it." But she heard the woman's long voice, and seemed to respond, "Madam Pei and the three princesses have a deep relationship, separated by a hundred years, it's no harm." She nodded, and then slowly said:
"It's called Lan Dian, the residence of the third princess before she got married. It's in the northwest of the palace. If Mrs. Pei is really interested, ask Run'er to take you there to pay her respects."
