Huafanchunzhengming

Chapter 515
Zhong Xinran returned to Tai Tuo's mansion, and the nanny who served Mrs. Zhong went up to meet her: "Young lady is back, Madam is not well, I want to see you."

Zhong Xinran ran in in surprise: "How could this be? I was fine when I left."

Mrs. Zhong was so ill that she couldn't get out of bed anymore. When she saw her biological daughter coming, her eyes shone brightly, and she tremblingly stretched out her hand, "Aran, come quickly."

Zhong Xinran sat down patiently, grabbed Mrs. Zhong's hand and said in a low voice, "Don't make trouble, Madam, I am in a hurry to enter the palace."

Mrs. Zhong said hopefully: "Why do you want to enter the palace? Is His Majesty calling you into the palace? Or the Empress Dowager?"

Zhong Xinran was slightly disdainful: "The Empress Dowager..."

Even though Queen Mother Wei can't protect herself, if she puts all her bets on Queen Mother Wei, then she is going to hell.

Seeing her expression, Mrs. Zhong vaguely guessed something, sighed and said: "I called you here to discuss with you, I don't think I'm going to get better, I'm always worried that I will die in my dream at some point.

If I die, you will be delayed for another three years, and it will be even more difficult to find a good family by then.Why don't you go and ask His Majesty to show you a good family to marry? Mother sees that you have a destiny, so she can die with confidence and boldness. "

what?
Want her to let the emperor not marry, and become an ordinary wife, wash his stinky feet, serve his stupid and ignorant mother, raise another litter of children, and take care of his concubine?

Zhong Xinran frowned: "Mother, don't talk nonsense, you still have to live for decades, you can wait at ease, your daughter will definitely let you get the honor you deserve."

After saying that, he got up and hurried outside.

Madam Zhong looked at her back and sighed deeply, suddenly feeling a little regretful.

"I want to see Your Majesty."

Zhong Xinran stood dignifiedly outside the palace gate, and handed over the invitation to see him.

The gatekeeper knew her well, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty is a little busy today, and may not have time to see you."

Zhong Xinran had a plan in mind: "You just pass in the booklet, and His Majesty will definitely see me."

Not long after, a message came from inside: "Your Majesty Xuan Zhong is pleased to see you."

Zhong Xinran walked in with a little complacency, her head held high, she knew that as long as Chonghua saw her pleading, he would not ignore her.

There were people coming and going in Qingxin Hall, and the atmosphere was very oppressive. Zhong Xinran waited for another half an hour in the corridor, and only after her legs were numb from standing did someone come to take her to see Chonghua.

But at this moment, the sky was slightly dark.

After saluting, Chonghua raised his head from the stacked bookcases, and said calmly, "Sit down, what's the matter?"

The light in the hall was a little dark, Chonghua's brows were tightly frowned, his expression was usual indifferent, but his eyes were as ferocious as a wolf, as if he could pounce on him and tear him apart at any time if he didn't agree with each other. fierce.

Zhong Xinran only glanced at it, and didn't dare to look any more. He lowered his eyebrows and picked a place closest to him and knelt down.

Smiling and said: "It's nothing, just recently compiled a few collections of poems by Dad, but no one wrote the preface, I thought about it, only His Majesty should be the one to write the pen."

Chonghua originally thought that Zhong Xinran was the same as those who made noise just now, to prevent him from agreeing to Dongling's marriage request, and to criticize him.

However, Zhong Xinran didn't. Instead, he mentioned another matter. His mood finally relaxed a little, and he said kindly:

"I've heard that you are compiling the manuscript and posthumous work left by Master, but you have been too busy and have no time to ask questions. Did you encounter any difficulties?"

Zhong Xinran's eyes turned slightly red, she lowered her head and shook her head lightly, and said softly, "No, everyone knows that I am His Majesty's senior sister and Ah Wei's senior sister, and they are very polite to me."

The more such an attitude is, the more people can immediately feel that she has indeed suffered a lot of grievances, but she is virtuous and generous, and she doesn't want to add trouble to others, so she doesn't say it.

Chonghua glanced at her, and ordered Li Anren: "Show me the book that Aran brought."

Li Anren was about to get the book in front of Zhong Xinran, Zhong Xinran picked it up first, walked forward on his knees, smiled, and said embarrassedly: "Others can't explain clearly, please allow me to explain it to you, Your Majesty."

Chonghua calmly took the book from her hand, and flipped through the pages one by one. Zhong Nanjiang's handwriting was excellent, and his poems were also excellent.

These poems evoke his long-term memory, reminding of Zhong Nanjiang's voice and smile, as well as his earnest teaching and meticulous care.

Thinking of the old man, Chong Hua became more gentle towards Zhong Xinran: "It's been a long time since I saw Ah Ran and his wife, how are you all?"

Zhong Xinran stared at him with wide eyes, her lips trembled violently a few times, and two big teardrops rolled down her eyes instantly: "We, we..."

She wiped away her tears in panic, knelt down on the ground, and said in a low voice: "Please forgive me, Your Majesty, my daughter has lost her manners."

Chonghua sighed: "You don't have to be like this. We are from the same family. No matter what happens, we have been together for more than ten years. Even for Master's sake, I should take care of you. I heard that Master is very bad. , I will send her an imperial physician to see her when I have time in a few days."

Zhong Xinran burst into tears of gratitude: "Your Majesty is tolerant, don't blame me and A Niang for doing something wrong, being so tolerant makes the courtier feel ashamed."

Chonghua waved his hand: "Don't mention this, leave the book here, I will write it when I have time, and I will send it to you after it is finished. You need a lot of money to print the book? I will ask someone to allocate some money for you." Money, it can be regarded as..."

There was a nostalgic look on his face, "It can also be regarded as filial piety to Master for being late."

Zhong Xinran couldn't help but started crying, she cried in a very measured manner, which not only made people feel her gratitude and joy, but also didn't make people feel bored.

At the same time, she cried beautifully, but it's not too much for pear blossoms to bring rain.

She fully thought that Chonghua would coax her with gentle words, and then let her ask her about her recent life.

But Chonghua didn't. He patiently waited for her to stop crying, and then ended the meeting: "Go back, and say hello to Master Mistress for me."

Zhong Xinran was extremely disappointed, but knew that he could not stay any longer, so he obediently stood up and said goodbye, only to hear Chonghua say indifferently: "It's been an eventful season recently, so don't go out if you have nothing to do, lest someone will attack you."

Zhong Xinran's back suddenly stiffened. The last sentence sounded like a warning to her not to get involved in that matter.

She stood still and looked at Chonghua with concern: "Did Your Majesty encounter any difficulties?"

Chonghua took a memorial casually, and said, "Didn't Ah Ran be surrounded by people in the bookstore this morning?"

Zhong Xinran's heart trembled, and with a "plop", he knelt down in front of Chonghua again.
