A Collection of Old Sayings by Fourth Sister You

Chapter 128: Family (30)
过定
After concentrating on entering the Palace of Compassion and Peace, the Empress Dowager didn't know that she had faked her injury and went away to Rehe, so she remained amiable as always.When she entered the door, she was talking to some old concubines and wiping away her cards. When she saw her coming, she threw away her cards and asked her, "Is your body safe now?"

Song Bank said after a round of greetings, "Thank you, Lafayette, for your inquiry. The slaves are all healed. I will go to the palace to report on my duties today. Come to pay my respects to Lafayette and the old concubines."

The queen mother nodded, "I just heard that I was shocked, and so is Concubine Shen, what are you doing like a black-eyed chicken! It's a pleasure to demote a nobleman now." She looked at her as she said, "It's nothing to do Alright, I'm afraid that there is a right and wrong, the Ministry of Internal Affairs really can't help you."

The old concubine Yu also spoke up, "That's right, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has always been a man in charge, and you can't enter the inner court when you are idle. If there is any embarrassment, it depends on the eunuchs' word. The slaves are so stupid. I don't know how much trouble it takes. Right now, Manager Xiao Tong is conscientious and smart, and when something happens, he can call into the palace to give orders, and it will be settled as soon as he speaks."

Song Yindui smiled all over his face, "Lafayette and the old concubine made me feel embarrassed. I am a girl and I am not capable enough. Only by being diligent can I live up to my master's love for me." As he said that, he submitted the booklet, "The slave has already done what Lafayette ordered the slave to do. It was only because of a bad health a while ago that I delayed it for a few days. Please forgive me. The slave is afraid of getting confused, so I put the All the investigations have been recorded under the nameplate, and Lafayette can see if it suits him."

The Empress Dowager's eyesight was not good, so she pulled the booklet far away, the maid brought reading glasses, she read it one by one, and then handed it to several concubines, "Look for it first, I left a sign, I will pick from here."

The old concubines just pursed their lips and smiled. The selection of concubines is a big deal, and there is no room for them to comment. They are just making fun of it, saying that this is good or that, "Our Long Live Lord has reached the age, and the harem will be expanded early. , the emperor's heir is important. These young ladies are all good, Lafayette is sure, this time at least if you want to advance to twenty or thirty, you might as well stay."

The Queen Mother slowly turned the pages of the book, and said in a slow voice: "It is not difficult to stay, but the difficulty lies in the assignment of positions. I think this is good or that is good. I have to ask the emperor what he thinks. The mother of a country is The most important thing is to decide first, the fourth concubine is not in a hurry, just take it easy." When she said this, she paid special attention to Song Yin's face, which also revealed the empress' intention to choose among these people.I thought she would react to some extent, but I didn't expect her to be very peaceful, standing quietly, like the beauty on the desk.

The old concubines naturally didn't suspect him, they just looked at the portrait.The painters on the Yulan are extremely exquisite, even the hair strands and the embroidery on the clothes are painted vividly.When a beautiful girl is included in a picture book, she naturally looks better. The emperor's concubines are all chosen one in a million. Family status is the first, followed by virtue and appearance. Usually, of the two, the latter is more selfish.

"In the past, the princes from other places also sent beautiful girls to Beijing. How about this year?" The old dowager Yu asked Songyin, "The girls in that place are good-looking, with high noses and deep eyes, which is interesting. If they are not good-looking, they look like In the border of Kharkana, her face looks like a donkey rolling, and there is no place for her to be a court lady."

Song Yin laughed, "The old ancestor really loves to joke, and there will be this year too, if you want to go and see tomorrow, there are many good girls!"

Old Concubine Yu hummed, "Women are good-looking, and the children they will have in the future will also be good-looking. The son is like a mother. Speaking of sons, the former fifth master Tete came in. I saw him sneaking around. What are you doing?"

The queen mother said indifferently: "Come to complain, saying that he has difficulties, raises a nest of women, and makes a fuss if he doesn't have children. Last time a powerful Gege acted like a baby with him, he was annoyed, and before going out, he said something angry. Shiha buried her alive, and when she got home, she was really buried, and it took a long time to dig out the body. Ge Ge had a body of two months in her stomach, but unfortunately, she didn't say a word. Difficult, the one at home looks like a stick of firewood, and it seems that it is not going well. He said he wanted to adopt one, so he came to ask for my idea. What advice can I have? Yes, just adopt one."

The old concubines turned their attention to Gege, the fifth master who died, completely ignoring the issue of adoption.But Song Yin knew that their plan was being carried out step by step, if the little elder brother could get out of the palace safely, then the following things could continue.She is the kindness of a woman, and she always feels that the child is pitiful, only three months old, and she will be used as a tool to be displaced.But what can be done, born in the emperor's family, and the only blood of the late emperor, his life is destined to have ups and downs.

"I heard that the fifth master and the other masters don't get along with each other, and the brothers quarrel when they meet. I'm afraid it doesn't make sense to adopt the family of the second master and the third master." I’m afraid I’m even reluctant to give away my child.”

The Empress Dowager said: "It's not bad for him to adopt him, he's still a member of Wu Ya's family. After a hundred years, Jue'er and the family business will all belong to the intermediary son, which is not bad." He paused, as if pondering something, Rubbing his forehead and sighing, "I'm getting old, I always have headaches lately..."

The concubines were all knowledgeable and interesting people, they stood up and said: "Lafayette must take care of yourself, we have been here for a while, it has exhausted Lafayette's energy, hurry up and take care of it. Let's leave today, Come back tomorrow to have fun with Lafayette."

The Empress Dowager smiled and said, "That's fine, I'm a little tired, you guys should go back and have a rest too!"

The maids and eunuchs surrounded him and sent him out of the Compassionate Ning Palace, Song Yin took two steps slowly, because he saw that the Queen Mother had sent everyone away, and wanted to speak to her alone, which was exactly what she wanted.

If she really wanted to go out, she was called back by the Queen Mother, who told her that she must choose a healthy person in tomorrow's general election, "He has a good body and is easy to conceive. The emperor is not young, so he can't continue to be so confused. The palace is so Having more women is not just for display, but for the sake of spreading branches and leaves. The emperor's heir is the foundation of the country, and there is nothing to lose."

Song Yin said, "This time for the selection, I quietly found the Si Tianjian. The most important thing is to see if there is a suitable man. There is already a big brother in the palace. After all, he is the blood of the late emperor. I am afraid Ke bumped into the orthodox heir of the master."

Mentioning this, the queen mother was shocked immediately, "You are right, I have thought about this matter, after all, the country has changed hands, and someone else's son is raised in the palace, so I am afraid it will be bad for the emperor's heirs. The elder brother belongs to the tiger, and the emperor It is a rabbit, although the big brother is a little tiger, the little tiger also bites people, which is not good."

Song Yin hurriedly added fuel and jealousy, "Besides, I always heard that Lafayette suffered from headaches recently. It may not be unreasonable. At the beginning, Yue Xing'er directly named him king, rewarded the house and went out. I'm afraid it won't be easy to deal with... Lafayette said just now that Master Wu wanted to adopt his stepson, and this slave has an idea, but he dare not say it..."

The queen mother smiled, "You just say it's okay, let's see if we want to go together."

Song Yin suddenly had a solid foundation in her heart. She was afraid that if she raised it rashly, it would arouse the Queen Mother's suspicion, but she didn't expect that Old Concubine Yu would give her a good start, and then it would be a matter of course.The queen mother is a very particular person, she is afraid of old age, fear of death, and fear of collision. As long as she associates her occasional migraines with her elder brother, and then exaggerates her hidden worries about the emperor's heir, needless to say, that eldest elder brother who lost his father will be killed. It was sent out of the Forbidden City like a broken pot.

She suppressed Huanxi, hugged her waist and said: "According to my humble opinion, why don't you adopt Eldest Brother to Prince Gong? The fifth master has no son, so he must love Eldest Brother very much. Anyway, whoever wants to be crowned king in the future, Let him attack Prince Gong's son, and save the cost of opening the mansion." He said with an embarrassed smile, "I am in charge of the House of Internal Affairs, and I love to move my mind in these places, Lafayette, don't laugh at me. Just I don't know if the emperor is willing or not, after all, Eldest Brother has a special status, so staying in the palace is more reassuring."

The queen mother pondered, "Indeed, he is the only son of the first emperor. If he is sent out, I don't know what those sour scholars in the court will talk about."

Song Yin hurriedly said yes, "But the emperor's heir and your body are more important."

The queen mother's attitude was vacillating, she was devoted to the emperor, and she didn't have too deep feelings for anyone.That grandson was not popular at all, but the throne was finalized, so let's keep it for now.It just so happened that the fifth child wanted a son, and as a favor, he had an excuse to send him away.Otherwise, it would be criticized, saying that the emperor could not tolerate the orphans of the late emperor, which would damage the emperor's reputation.

Leaning on the pillow, the queen mother let out a long breath, "I thought about it again and again, it's really not good to stay. He killed his own Ama as soon as the grass fell, which shows that his life is very hard. Let him go outside, he has no father." Poor child, although Prince Gong is unreliable, at least he is a real uncle, picking up a son in vain naturally loves him. But let's discuss this matter privately first, let me think about it, so don't make a fuss about it."

Song Yin responded, "From the slave's point of view, the elder brother is the blood of the late emperor after all, and he will be raised with the princes of the Long Live Lord in the future. Who knows what he has in mind. He is better than the emperor's heir. It's hard to avoid being bullied by him. It's better to go to Prince Gong's mansion, in case Prince Gong's elder brother fails, he will become a nobleman, and the master will add another Heshuo in the future."

The Empress Dowager listened to it deeply, with a thorn in her eye and a thorn in her flesh, and she was determined to get rid of it quickly.

The emperor's family was ruthless. It was just a rumor before. It was not until I was in it and saw their strokes clearly that I felt the deep-seated horror.They only have interests in their eyes, not family affection.The persecution and persecution of brothers by brothers, and the disgust and contempt of grandchildren by grandmothers are rare in the market.Now that the queen mother has made up her mind, she will implement it sooner or later, just like when she wanted to support her youngest son, she devoured it and finally drove the late emperor into the abyss.A fledgling child, he is even more proficient at tidying up.

"Prince Gong's son is still here now, I'm afraid I won't be able to stop the mouths of troublemakers. It's better to wait until the time is right, and you won't be criticized when you leave the palace. That will be a great favor to your master."

Song Yin agreed, "I'll go back to see Eldest Brother, I heard that I've had some coughs during this journey, such a young child, I'm afraid I'll get sick from the cough."

The queen mother covered her nose with her hands again when she heard this, "The late emperor died of tuberculosis, don't let the child follow him, Ama."

Song Yin didn't know what to say, so she couldn't hope for him, okay?Such a poor child was born when the first emperor was at the end of his life, and he didn't even get to see him face to face.She is still so disgusted by people now, if she were the first emperor, she would feel sad even if she died below.

But she couldn't justify it, on the contrary, the more she obeyed the Queen Mother's wishes, the better, "Lafayette is right, the time Master Guo was pregnant was just before and after Long Live's illness, so I don't know if Eldest Brother is sick or not Son, slaves are also afraid."

If there is a root cause of the disease, it will break out and be contagious. The Queen Mother is indeed more determined, and must send the person out of the palace.

Songyin went to Xuanshou Hall after leaving the Palace of Compassion and Ning, and when she entered, she saw Guo Zhuer leaning on a brocade cushion and reading a book.The elder brother fell asleep lying in the rocking car, with a beautiful pink face, very cute.

She squatted down and said, "The concubine is auspicious."

Master Guo threw the book and got off the kang to help her, "Are you here?" He led her to sit down on the south kang, "I heard that you were cheated by Concubine Shen. I was afraid that something would happen to you, so I wanted to ask someone to go out and ask. I asked, but look, there is no one available in front of me... How is it now? Is it safe?"

She snorted, "It's nothing serious, it's just a couple of chokes."

Guo Zhuer said: "You are too, if you are told to drill into the stove, you can drill, in case someone fills the back of the house with charcoal and catches fire, you will not even be able to escape, wouldn't you be familiar with it?"

This master used to be careless, but now that he is alone, his thinking is more complicated than before.Song Yin smiled and agreed, "I'm a little scared when you say that." She glanced at elder brother, "Is the little master all right?" Looking around the room, "Just a nanny?"

She said there was another mother-in-law, "During your absence, the Ministry of Internal Affairs evacuated everyone. It is said that it was the Queen Mother's order. There is no way, we orphans and widows are lucky to have a place to live. People withdrew, so they withdrew. Anyway, two nuns plus me, it’s not good to serve a child? Besides, our brother is strong on his own, and his body is strong. Look at those small arms, like lotus knots. This child has a bad temper. Well, it’s not like other people’s children who want to hug and sleep in their arms when they see the sky, he is not. He is probably suffering from himself, knowing the fun, not being coquettish, eating and sleeping, and playing with himself when he wakes up , What a good boy."

Song Yin's nose was sore from what she said, such a small child should have been loved by thousands of people, but he has become a fallen phoenix.She went over to touch his little face, and murmured: "I was wronged when I was young, and I will be rich and powerful in the future."

Guo Zhu'er shook his head, "Huang Lian has cast a bitter pill, I'm afraid it will be the end of it."

She turned around and said no, "He is the first emperor's son, and he is not far behind. When he becomes prominent in the future, he knows that Er Nie is difficult, so he will pay a hundred times more filial piety to Er Nie."

Master Guo smiled, "As long as he is safe and sound, that's enough for me. I used to want a daughter, but now I see this son, so quiet and like a girl. After all, he was born by himself, and it hurts It's too late. It doesn't matter if you don't have Ama, but if you have Ernie, whoever dares to bully him, I will fight with my life."

Song Yin sighed, "It's difficult for you too. I think it's deserted here. It's only a matter of a few words to send someone to take care of you. But since the Empress Dowager has given an order and there is no way to disobey it, you hold it back for now and wait for the process. Wait for her." I can’t take care of this anymore, I’ll send someone over.”

Guo Zhuer said goodbye, "It's okay to offend the queen mother for us. She is worried that she can't catch it. If you disobey her order, can you still get it? We are quite at ease, and we can just live. Let's make do when the child grows up." , and slowly there is hope.”

Mother and mother depend on each other for life, if elder brother is forced to take away, will it make her life worse than death?She had planned to reveal a little news about the adoption to her first, but she was afraid that things would fail, so she was worried, so she swallowed the words back, and said: "If you don't send someone, please send more food. The nanny should eat more, milk. Enough is enough for the little master. You also need to nourish yourself, the death of the late emperor happened during the confinement period, so you are so troubled by moving from one end to the other."

She squinted her eyes and smiled at her, "Thank you, you are the only one in the whole palace who still misses us. I have no power or power, so I can't repay you. When my brother grows up, I will ask him to respect you."

Song Yin looked back at Elder Brother, who knew what the future of this child would be in the future, and would not dare to repay her.She also has the same heart as Mr. Guo, wishing him well, growing up healthy and healthy, and that's it.

After leaving Xuan Shoutang and returning to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, it is time to start preparing for the draft after dawn tomorrow.

The talent show is a relatively large project. The Ministry of Internal Affairs is still very idle before the show girls enter the palace. In the early stage, it is mainly handled by the household department. The Eight Banners will report the roster of women of the right age to the Metropolitan Yamen. After summarizing, it was played to the emperor, and the emperor decided to select the date of reading, and then it was their turn to take over.

If you work on the turret, at night before the general election, you will see an extremely lively scene. Those mule carts filled with dreams of concubines enter Di'anmen, and lanterns are hung on the shafts of each cart. Sea of ​​lights.The banner leaders and leaders are busy queuing up cars, and the sea of ​​lights is flowing.Then it stopped, and it was quiet all night. When the key of the palace door was opened the next day, the sky was bright, and the lights flickered faintly in the mist, like a star that lost its brilliance before dawn.Gradually all went out, no noise could be heard, and occasionally mules blew, and the eunuch's loud dispatch: "One flag after another, don't get separated...follow behind, take your time, and it's the first one..."

Songyin passed through Yongxiang, took a group of children's history and the eunuchs of the respect room, and waited at the entrance of the Imperial Garden.Finally, the eunuch led people in, because they were not selected, tall, short, fat, thin, good and handsome.

She turned around and asked Cai Si: "Have the Empress Dowager and the Long Live Lord come?"

Cai Sidao said, "The Tiyuan Hall has already been moved, so let the little manager order it to pass!"

She nodded, "The emperor only looks at two flags a day, first he calls Zhenghuang flag and Xianghuang flag, and the rest are waiting outside. Maybe Lafayette is impatient, and it's not certain to look at two more flags."

Cai He responded and copied to the back to pass on the message.

She waved her hand and asked the eunuch to lead the people over, and lined up outside the hall first.The general election is based on Manchuria first, Mongolia second, and the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty at the end. The first two banners are all women from more noble backgrounds, and some of them are even known to her.She looked around, probably most of the concubines came from here, so she became more and more amiable.

The eunuch in charge raised his voice and ordered: "Six people in a row, divided according to age. See if your own brand is there, and you are not allowed to whisper to each other if there is nothing to do. Long live God and Queen Mother Lafayette read it in person, salute first when entering the door, and no eyelids are allowed. Baba'er looked at Tianyan, stared at his own toes, and walked step by step, it's not good to be stumbled."

At the moment, those plain-faced show girls have no distinction between high and low. They all wear blue silk robes, simply braid their braids, and wear red velvet flowers on their temples, obediently obeying the eunuch's orders.But you don't need to raise your eyes when you go in, you can still look around casually outside, everyone is very curious about her, it's probably the first time I saw a live female officer, a pair of big watery eyes kept looking at her.

She smiled, lifted her gown and went up the steps, motioning to the first row of beautiful girls to follow her in.The emperor, the empress dowager and several old concubines were sitting on the throne. She raised her hands, but stepped aside.

The emperor sat upright with his hands on his knees, but his eyes were bored. The queen mother said this is good, that is good, and he dealt with it perfunctorily, "Everything is up to the emperor's mother."

If there is a little bit of friendship, going through this kind of scene, there will always be some touches, right?He raised his eyes to look at her, but she stood with her hands tucked in peacefully, she would rather look at Lu Run than keep her eyes on him.He slowly clenched his fists, the most painful thing in this world is probably that I love you, but you have no interest in me.He is the king of a country, why did he make himself so embarrassed?

He fell silent, and instead of thinking about it so much, he felt at ease.Anyway, he is a bad person, and if he is bad, he will be completely bad.He had wanted to give her the back seat, but he almost had to beg her, but she was unmoved.Since she is not rare, it is natural for someone to be rare.If you don't want to be a queen, then enter the harem as a concubine or concubine!
The Empress Dowager was very distracted in selecting candidates, and secretly discussed with the old concubines, first looking at their background and then their appearance, and all the people who left the sign were harvested outside of the book.Her idea is very simple, choose the best one for her son, and it is best to have a few grandchildren in the coming year, so that the country will be stable without worrying about having more children.

After seeing all the ones with the yellow flags, he turned to ask the emperor, "Anyone you like?"

The emperor said indifferently: "The one left by the queen's mother is good for my son. Anyway, there are still a few replies to see. The queen is the most important thing, so it's better to think about it."

After he finished speaking, he lowered his eyes, covered by a row of thick eyelashes, unable to see his thoughts.Song Yin felt a little joy in his heart, maybe he figured it out, it would be great if it was like this, after all, it is not a sin for a person to like you, if they coexist peacefully early, there won't be so many twists and turns.

She pursed her lips and smiled at the queen mother, "There are seven banners of Manchuria, eight banners of Mongolia and eight banners of the Han army in the back. Lafayette picked it out slowly. The slave looked outside before, and this time it is more complete than last year. Don't worry about not being able to pick it up." Lovely."

As she said this, the emperor felt more and more unhelpful, stood up and said: "My son still has some government affairs that he hasn't done well, and the rest will be for the empress and the old concubines to worry about."

He was about to leave suddenly, and everyone was a little at a loss.The Empress Dowager said: "Anyway, I want a few names to be registered. If you don't choose one, what will it sound like?"

Helpless, he sat down again.The references in the back are all under the Banner Banner, that is, his former flag slaves. Among the five or six dials that came in, he picked a few that were pleasing to the eye and left a sign, even if he had prevaricated the Empress Dowager.

He finally left, knowing his son Mo Ruomu, the Empress Dowager put the bracelet on the kang table, and felt unhappy, but because there were several old concubines beside her, it was not easy to do it on her face.Sighing lightly, he smiled again, "He will go his way, we will pick ours. There is no need to worry about the background of a girl from Shangsanqi, it just depends on the talent's appearance. You can also help to see, as usual It is to deal with the relatives of concubines in the palace first, there are not many people around our emperor, so there is no such case. If you push it up, if there are good recommendations, the big guys will also give advice."

The old concubines began to recall in a hurry, so-and-so's aunt once met once, with a beautiful appearance, poetry and songs comparable to Zhuo Wenjun.The Empress Dowager rekindled her hope, holding up her reading glasses, she could clearly see every freckle and mole on Xiu Nu's face.

Song Yin stood patiently and waited until the two flags were finished, and the task for the day was completed.The rest belongs to tomorrow, so a draft can take several days.

Today there are 33 people who have retained their cards. These people did not enter the palace directly.Those who still keep their cards after several re-elections have a chance to be promoted to canonization, but there is one last hurdle—staying in the palace for accommodation.This screening is even more stringent. There must not be a single blemish on the show girl, such as body odor or flat feet.The last is the posture and appearance after falling asleep. Those who are lying on their backs, those who grind their teeth and snore, and those who talk in their dreams... In the end, there is basically not much left, and then ask questions one by one, consider family status, conversation, and knowledge, and decide on concubines Candidates.

Song Yin sometimes thinks that the Tong family is pardoned and does not need to run for election. It is really the greatest grace bestowed by the great grandfather.This round after round, even breaking the mouth and looking at the teeth, what is the difference from picking animals in the mule and horse market?Being a concubine for someone has to go through so much trouble, it really doesn't count.

She put together the booklet, and the eunuch took everyone out and went back to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.Tomorrow it will be the turn of the two flags with white and white borders. Ama is not here, and the burden on her shoulders is even heavier.There are many daily chores in the palace. When there are more people, there are more things to do. Some Yingxuan fainted suddenly, some sprained their feet when they got off the mule cart, and some menstrual pains made them unable to straighten their backs. There were all kinds of strange things. .In fact, she understands that many accidents are the tricks of the girls who are unwilling to enter the palace. It is considered young to waste their time in the palace. Once they are spotted, they will not be able to leave the Forbidden City for a lifetime. Equivalent to punishment.

The spring cold has not yet come to an end, and the night is still very cold.Ask someone to gather a pot of fire and offer it at your feet, gradually warming up your calves.She sat behind the desk and counted the consumption of firewood and rice for the last month. Seeing that it was time for another year to change clothes, the tributes and satins donated by various places in the previous year had to be sorted out, and the jewelry of the empresses and concubines had to be made. Not short.

Just as he was getting involved, he suddenly heard footsteps outside.After the key was released in the palace, all errands stopped, and they were not allowed to move around unless something serious happened.She put down her pen and sat up straight, thinking that Sura would report, but she didn't see any reply after waiting for a long time.

The north wind howled outside the window, leaving only a sob-like cry when it blew over the corner of the eaves.Just when she was about to pick up a pen, the night watch lantern suddenly cast an elongated figure on the peach blossom paper, with a slender silhouette and long hair that was simply tied up, she couldn't tell who it was, but it made her heart beat fast.

Is it Rongshi?Is it him?Knowing that it is impossible, but I can't hold back hope in my heart, what if?
She stood up and opened the door, "Who is it?"

The person outside the door didn't move, with a depressed face standing there like a wooden stake.She was startled, "Why are you here?"

He pushed her away and walked straight into her guard room, "There is no sign to look over, I thought of you."

He passed in front of her, bringing up a cold smell of wine. She dared not enter the house, and stood hesitantly at the door, "I have nothing to do with your flop, have you been drinking? Don't sleep after drinking, go to slave What are you doing here?"

The emperor was sitting in an armchair, stroking his fingers with lowered eyes. From the moment he appeared until now, he had never even looked at her, for fear of being timid.Hearing her say this, she just hummed, "Where can I go to the Forbidden City? I want to go for a stroll at night, and I come to you when I go for a stroll, so what?"

She looked back, and the door with the wall was not far from her room. Even though the door was closed, he jumped in through the wall again?She felt troubled, "Long live, you are different from when you were a prince, you can't just go wherever you like..."

"Stop talking nonsense!" He suddenly raised his voice, "What are you doing standing there? I will eat you? Close the door and come to me!"

She was afraid that he would lose control if he didn't drink, but it was even more frightening if he drank.She didn't dare to disobey her orders, and she didn't dare to go forward, she closed the door slightly, and only took half a step, "If you want to tell the master, you can order someone to pass on the slave, and ask the master to go there..."

"Don't make peace with me, keep your mouth shut, it's not good to say anything, and throw away my previous love for you for nothing."

When she was scolded by him, she was scared and kept silent. Satisfied, he began to recall the past and said slowly: "I don't know how to love. When I was 14 years old, I had two companions, who were sent by the palace. It is specially designed to guide the history of the prince's intercourse. At that time, I was young and thought this thing was interesting. At first, it was day and night, but later it was not unusual, so I threw it away. I have been in it for the rest of my life, to tell you the truth. Calculating. Because I once missed the throne, I was so focused on getting it back. I wooed the officials and built my own power. These two things alone took me a whole ten years, so I didn’t have time to spend the next month. I play with women , I also admit that I played a lot when I was a prince. Because I have to socialize in the officialdom, I have to do it, but you are the only one who really cares about it so far." He stood up, staggered and walked around the room "You are the first woman I fell in love with. Do you know what it feels like to be the first one? I think about walking and sitting. Even seeing your handwriting, I feel comforted." He pointed to himself and laughed self-deprecatingly Get up, "I'm crazy, I'm hurting unrequited love, I like a courtier's woman, what kind of emperor! I don't want to be like this, but I stand at the pinnacle of power, I can't control myself, no one can restrain me I. I want to snatch you here, my brain is about to explode, can you save me? I know, you have said it many times, you don’t like me, you just want to be my slave... But I There is no shortage of slaves, and no lack of people to serve me, but I just need someone who knows the cold and hot, and can talk to me directly."

Song Yin moved her lower lip, and was about to open her mouth, but was interrupted by a brush of his sleeve, "Don't mention the talent show to me, those women are all for having children, not for love!"

After listening to him quietly, she asked in a low voice, "So have you learned how to love now?"

He almost didn't even have to think about it, "The harem affairs are all up to you, and you can handle them however you want. I am rich in the world, and I can give you the best things. I will praise Tong Jia and make you Ama a public servant." Hou, isn’t that okay? The Tong family was born in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and there was only one concubine in their ancestors. Don’t you want to bring glory to the family? You can stand higher and go farther. Your son can be a prince. You will be the Queen Mother in the future, and I will give you the greatest glory of a woman, what shortcomings do you have?"

Song Yin is already embarrassed to say anything to hurt him, their mutual values ​​are separated by the universe, and they are not on the same line at all.She could only express as tactfully as possible, "You are very good. Everything you are willing to give me is what all women dream of. I am very grateful for your kindness to me, but I can't lie to you. Sometimes two people are happy , the other party may not be the best choice. It's just that the opportunity was stuck, and as soon as the collision hit, it fell into my heart. Rongshi is no better than you. You are the emperor, and he is just an official under your command. When you raise your voice, He has to kneel down and kowtow to you. In terms of power and status, he is far behind you. It is because of this that I think he is popular. When something goes wrong, I can argue with him. How about you? ? You are the emperor, I have to prevent you from being unhappy, afraid that you will get angry, I am too tired after such a lifetime."

He frowned, "How dare I suffer because of my status? If you weren't the emperor, would you like me?"

Song Yin choked for a moment, "Not necessarily, but Cheng Suan will definitely be a little older."

He suddenly realized, "Then there is no other way. You can't throw away the country, and you have to continue to be the emperor. You got it with great difficulty. If you can't give it up for a woman." He looked down at her, and she was as beautiful as jade under the lamplight.He raised his hand to caress her face, but she tried to avoid it, but was shocked by his eyes.Look, the emperor can make people submit, whether they like it or not.His fingertips finally landed on her cheeks, the soft and delicate touch was simply the most beautiful and heartwarming in the world.He said in a low voice, with the taste of pleading, "Eryin, can you love me a little, just a little... I don't have to pretend to be an emperor in front of you, and we get along like ordinary couples, can't we? You Look at my strengths, there is always a place you like. Do you know how it feels when I hang my heart every day and can’t fall into my stomach? I heard that you went to Rehe, and I wanted to cry several times, but I can't, I'm a man, I'm the emperor, I can't cry..." He rolled up his sleeves for her to see, "I'll just resolve it like this, it's because the fourth brother took my throne, it's because the fourth brother took away my military power, this It's because the cabinet framed me, it's because you went to Rehe..."

Song Yin took a look and saw that there were four shocking cuts on that well-bred white and delicate arm, three of which had healed, and one was a new wound, a fresh flesh-red scar, one could imagine the tragic situation of the separation of skin and flesh at that time.

Surprised and flustered, she looked at him blankly, "Master, why did you do this?"

The corners of his mouth sank slightly, and there were tiny shimmers in his eyes, almost falling down.Afraid that she would see it, he quickly turned his head, and murmured: "I have no plans, but I missed something. I shouldn't have let you win over Rongshi. I was trapped in a cocoon, but the retribution came. I only did this wrong thing." Is there no room for redemption? Can't you forgive me once and come back to me? "

Because of a wrong start, a series of follow-up reactions were triggered. It was he who asked her to win over Rongshi, and she went from being disgusted to falling in love.Now that you're in love, you can't look back. What's the point of asking the bottom line now?
It's just that he hurt himself like this, which shocked and saddened her.After all, women are soft-hearted, as if his sins can gradually be offset by that knife.She thought that he must be drunk to show her these wounds that he was ashamed to expose. This iron-blooded man also has his fragility and overwhelm.

He put his hands on her shoulders, "Now I'm not the emperor, I'm just someone who admires you, can you stop being so unfeeling to me? Give me some of the love you gave Rongshi, is this too much to ask?"

His fingers gradually closed, like iron pliers, which made her painful.The voice is like the song of a mermaid in the misty and dumb sea, with the power of bewitching and instigating.Song Yin didn't notice, but was picked up by him, and when she was about to struggle, both of them fell into the quilt room, his body was like a mountain, pressing her down.

This is what he calls love and liking?She almost sympathized with him just now, but who would have thought that he would do such a thing next.If it is true that a person's temperament cannot be changed after he grows up, the domineering and arrogance in his bones has long been his label, how can she expect to ease the confrontation with him!

She pushed him hard, "Master, please think twice."

She has remained calm until now, this woman is terrible.He just wanted to tear up her disguise, just to see her panic-stricken appearance.The more she behaves like this, the more wanton he becomes, why not take her, how can she run away like this?He knows that she and Rongshi have had that kind of thing, he doesn't care, as long as they have equal weight, at least the steelyard in her heart will not be too biased when she chooses.Besides, the Han people are not like the Manchus. The Manchus don't deliberately ask women to be chaste, but the Han people are not.Once a woman loses her virginity, she ends up being abandoned.That time when he stayed in her house, he just misunderstood the Rong family, and Rong Shi definitely knew the whole story.This time he had to face it squarely, could he still trust Song Yin as before?

He subdued her hard, "Think about you, Ama, and Rang Yu, you want them to die, just fight against me."

She no longer knew how to spit on his shamelessness, and said a few words through her teeth: "Don't use this to threaten me, it will make me look down on you even more!"

The fragrance on her body is intoxicating, she is obviously weak, but she wants to say such hurtful words.Sure enough, there is no love, not even pity.It doesn't matter, he doesn't need pity, he is the emperor of the world, he only needs to conquer.

In the chaos, the attack was not serious, she kicked him, causing a sudden pain in his shin.He gritted his teeth and snorted: "Why do you look down on me? You even own your life..." She suddenly bent her knees and pressed her against his groin. Grabbing her neck, he said harshly, "You are too courageous. You want to kill me from all children and grandchildren? Since you refuse to follow me, it is useless to live. With your feelings for Rongshi, go to Wangxiangtai and wait Follow him! Don't worry, I will call him to accompany you sooner or later, let you be a ghost couple, and I have fulfilled you."

His tiger's mouth tightened more and more, Song Yin felt that his eyes were blurred, as if covered by a thick layer of haze, he couldn't see anything clearly.The waves of blood slapped in the ears, and there were bursts of humming.

This time, she might really be dying, but there are too many things she can't let go of, family members, facts, and errands in the Ministry of Internal Affairs... Her eyes gradually lost focus, and she looked at him blankly, with a hideous and terrifying face, and It was far from the dignity and calmness when I saw it for the first time.Power is poison, and it ruined this handsome young man.

She also struggled, but it was pointless resistance.He admired it carefully, watching the flowery face turn bright red, as if it was covered with a layer of cinnabar.The strength of her hands and feet is getting weaker and weaker, with just a flick of a finger, his distress will be gone, and he will become extremely hard again.But the anger suddenly disappeared without a trace, he was startled suddenly, and hastily withdrew his hand.

She coughed earth-shatteringly, gasped for air, and turned into a shrimp.He clenched his fists and watched with cold eyes. It might be a lesson, let her know that Tianwei cannot be offended.

It was from this moment that Songyin really feared him. In the past, he would play Tai Chi with him, flatter him with a shy face, flatter him long and short, and now there is nothing left.This person doesn't even deserve the slightest bit of respect. His biggest mistake in this relationship wasn't letting her win over Rong Shi, it was because he didn't have a heart, and he never treated others as human beings.

She shrank back with difficulty, trembling with fear.Just one step away from the ghost gate, does she really want to stay in the House of Internal Affairs?People walk on the road all their lives, throwing away all the way, throwing away all the things they can't afford, so that they can go far.Now the Ministry of Internal Affairs has become unbearable, she has to go, leave this Forbidden City, go to a place without him.

Her brain couldn't keep up with the movement, the limbs had a will of their own.She got off the kang and ran towards the door, but forgot that the palace was a big cage at the moment, she couldn't escape at all.

She choked on crying and cursed in a hoarse voice: "You beast! You are in vain!"

He hated her even more, untied her belt and threw it away, and the luan belt was falling into the charcoal basin, splashing sparks all over the ground, "I'm in vain? If I didn't want to save you, I would have waited until now! But you Blind, you can't see my heart, and all you can think about is that shameless, shameless face. What's so good about him, that it's worth your life to protect him? I'm lucky for you today, let's see if you can How about it!"

He lifted her up, and always felt that a woman wearing a man's official uniform was an eyesore, and wished he could tear the robe to pieces to relieve his hatred.The half-extinguished charcoal fire ignited the luan belt, and the blue flame trembled and burned, and the air was filled with the smell of burnt cloth.She covered it with her hands, looked at him sadly, didn't speak, just looked at him.He avoided her gaze, and staring at her would make him ashamed and break his hard-working heart.He covered his face with wine, and everything absurd will be forgiven in the end.

He stagnated slumped, it was fate, he was already in a difficult situation, but when she said that, he lost even the slightest interest.

He let her go and got down on the kang in a state of distraught, not knowing what was wrong with him, standing there with his hands down in a daze.After thinking about it, she couldn't let her find out why, so she hurriedly covered her robe, and sternly found a step for herself, "Since you don't want to, I won't force you, and if you press hard, you will hate me even more. It's just that you remember Hold on, I'm bound to win, one day...one day..." He couldn't stand anymore, and hurried out.There was a fog in the middle of the night, and the fog was so heavy that I couldn't even see the scenery ten feet away.He regained his composure and jumped onto the palace wall, feeling a bit embarrassed to run away.

Song Yin lay back on the quilt, her mind was in a daze, and her mind was blank.The only good thing is that he left, and finally he didn't feel sorry for Rong Shi.But she was extremely wronged, anyone who encountered such a thing would feel ashamed and angry, if she couldn't let go, she really wanted to hang herself.She thought that being kissed by him in the Old Summer Palace last time was the worst, but she didn't expect that there would be today.Everything just now was like a nightmare, she was too scared to look back.He thought that he was an emperor anyway, so he wouldn't do such a disqualified thing, but in the end he overestimated him.His freewheeling temper did not restrain himself because he became the emperor, on the contrary, he became even more unscrupulous.

She cried all her tears. Her life from childhood to adulthood had no ups and downs, and when she met Rongshi later, she also loved each other and was not wronged by him at all.In the end, she fell on this stupid king. God saw that she was going too well, and it was a bit unsightly, so the ordeal was specially arranged.

She cried for a while and found that the door was still open. If she was seen at this time, wouldn't she be ashamed!She struggled to get up, covered her clothes, and went to close the door. Her body was in severe pain, and she raised her hand to touch it, but there was a big bump on the back of her head, which was on fire when she touched it.Trembling and falling back onto the kang, thinking of being touched all over his body, he felt sick, wishing to take the blade off and never want this body of flesh again.

Suffering from being dumb, there is nowhere to seek justice.Girls are ashamed to talk about this kind of thing, and they can't tell others.On the second day, I was top-heavy and couldn't get up. I wanted to rest for a day, but felt that this was showing weakness. I forced myself to be on duty.Let him see that she is invincible, no matter how big the storm is, she can still stand tall.

The draft is still going on, repeating the same process of the first day, bringing in people, and asking the emperor, queen mother and old concubine to see each other.

She stood under the hood, her head was dazed, and she stood for two hours, covered in cold sweat.Occasionally meeting the emperor's eyes, you can be angry and contemptuous, but you will never dodge.She didn't do anything wrong, why should she feel guilty?It's him who should feel guilty.

The emperor was indeed guilty, and when his eyes met his head, he turned away in embarrassment, not because he had no virtue after drinking and belittled her, but because he was afraid of being looked down upon by her because he was incompetent after drinking.He still can't believe that such an accident happened at that time. He used to have fun after [-] drinks, but this time he failed at such an important moment. He simply hated himself.Would she laugh at him behind his back?So looking at him, there was no intention of avoiding him.He was very upset, he had to go to the two concubines to try it out tonight, and make sure there were no mistakes.

The Queen Mother chose very carefully, and after discussing with the Queen Mother, she still asked Song Yin.She is an official of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Although she doesn't care about the affairs of the previous dynasty, she is involved in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty.For example, rewards and seals have to go through her hands, so she has a little bit of a foundation in her mind about which house and what situation it is.

"This child looks very complete, which one is it?" The queen mother left a girl's tag, asked someone to hand it up, and took a look, "Han army bannerman... I remember this Zhou Tong, who can ride and shoot very well." At the beginning, Emperor Xiaozong praised him and named him Batulu. There are not many Han people who hold this title, but now it is released?"

Song Yin replied, "Lafayette has such a good memory. Zhou Tong was the governor of Jiangxi at that time. In the 24th year of Hongtu, he was granted the title of Batulu and was rewarded with a yellow jacket. His wife is from the clan, and she is the Sangege of the old Prince Yibeile's family. "

The queen mother said oh, and it is enough to know about it.As for those devious relatives, it really makes people dizzy, and I can't even remember what they look like.

In this election, more than 20 brands were left.Because the Empress Dowager is a native of Zhengbai Banner, and she is more affectionate to the beautiful girls of her own banner. Whose family belongs to this, and whose family it belongs to, everyone likes to find out the source.Song Yin stood aside with a smile and agreed, she is like a living dictionary, she can answer any questions.But in the end, she couldn't hold on any longer, she staggered and fell beside the Queen Mother's armchair as hot and cold surged up.

Everyone was in an uproar, and the queen mother said in shock: "What's the matter, it was fine just now."

Lu Run quickly came up to help her, and touched her forehead, which was scorching hot.He replied: "I think it's because of a cold, let the imperial doctor take a look, and you'll be fine after taking two doses of medicine."

The emperor straightened up, tried to stand up, and sat back down again.The Queen Mother sighed, "It's hard for her, she's not feeling well and she has been standing with her for a long time. The palace is busy right now, and she can't take care of it alone, how can she not be tired!"

The emperor waved at Lu Run, "Take her down, and someone else will take a good look at it." Naturally, he knew the reason in his heart. She was frightened yesterday, but she can still come today, which shows how stubborn she is.

Lu Run said yes, and led her to the door. Seeing that she couldn't walk anymore, he made a detour to Duixiu Mountain, and hugged her up.

Her face was pale, and he was very anxious. The long journey from the Imperial Garden to the House of Internal Affairs was not done by others.When going out the inner right door, he yelled loudly and told someone to go to the imperial hospital to ask for an imperial doctor. He looked down at her, she was leaning against his arms, and couldn't even open her eyes.

He called her softly, "Songyin, did you hear me?"

She groaned, out of breath, like meowing.

"It's almost here, just see the imperial doctor." He sent her back to the duty room, laid her down, poured hot tea for her, and stayed close to every step.

She rested for a while, and seemed to be getting better, reluctantly said: "There is no need to see a doctor, I'm just tired." As she spoke, she began to sob, "I'm...too tired."

Lu Run stepped forward, squatted in front of her and asked her, "Did you encounter any difficulties?"

She looked at him with tears in her eyes, hesitated to speak, and finally shook her head, "It's nothing, I'm just tired and want to go home."

But he guessed that something was wrong with her, otherwise she would never say something like wanting to go home with such a temper.Now that he has become the palm seal, it is not necessary for him to serve in person before the emperor, but he still knows the emperor's movements.Sheng Jia left the Qianqing Palace last night, but no one followed him, so he probably came to look for her.What a good thing can happen in the middle of the night!He knew her character, knew she would not give in, so there must have been a conflict.

He squatted there and did not speak for a long time.There was an indescribable conflicting feeling in his heart. The emperor was his benefactor, and now he is his master. He has always respected him, and he has never shown any disrespect or disobedience to him.As for Songyin, he is secretly in love with her. She has a right and wrong, which is like a personal injury to him, and will arouse his desire to resist.The conflict between these two people made him feel awkward. It's not good for him to help anyone, it's just selfishness, and he still favors her after all.

"Turn back and ask someone to tighten the latch. If someone calls the door at night, if it wasn't for something wrong in the harem, don't open the door. He is an emperor after all, and he will never lose his face and make a fuss. He will eat as soon as he closes the door. Nothing will happen." He said. As he spoke, he frowned again, "It's not a problem after all if we drag it on like this. We're all holding each other in our hands, even if we break our legs, we won't be able to jump out."

This is a transparent person, she doesn't tell, he knows what's going on.Now that she was found out, she didn't have to hold back anymore, and she burst into tears, "He forced me to carry a knife with me, if there is another time, I will kill the king."

Lu Run glanced at her in surprise, his heart was tumbling, and he worked hard several times before mustering up the courage to ask her: "Did he succeed?"

Song Yin blushed, "Not really, but I lost my face too. If I didn't miss Rong Shi and my family, I would have wiped my neck long ago."

He said goodbye, "There is always a way, just bear with it, there is nothing you can do except endure."

She gradually calmed down, feeling ashamed, and said in a low voice: "You must keep this matter for me, and you can't tell others. If no one knows, I can still make do with it. If the whole city knows, I can't live. .”

Lu Run nodded, but her persistence was also surprising.The imperial power didn't seem to have any temptation for her, so she just gritted her teeth and carried it, stubbornly moving towards the direction she was looking for.What kind of phoenix crown and Xiapei, what kind of mother's ceremony is in the world, are completely out of her eyes.Wealth cannot be promiscuous, might cannot be subdued, she has more backbone than men.

"The general election is expected to take three or four days. Wait for the re-election with a sign, and you will be relieved. Don't spend the night in the palace, go home as much as possible. You are a girl, it will be inconvenient after all."

She started to cry again, "I, Ama, have gone south. I am the only person in charge of the House of Internal Affairs. If I don't guard, it will be a crime if something goes wrong." She sighed, "Forget it, don't worry about me. I count it myself."

Speaking of the imperial doctor coming to the door, Su La called "what's the matter" outside, Lu Run stood up and asked someone to come in, the imperial doctor showed the pulse, and said: "The little chief has a cold, I will go back and prescribe two doses of medicine, and the decoction is ready." Get someone to bring it here. You are prone to illness in this climate, you are busy with business, you must keep warm carefully. Besides, don’t be too tired, your pulse condition is very weak, and your energy and blood are not strong, eat more bird’s nest and red dates, it will nourish energy and blood.”

Song Yin thanked her and asked Lu Run to send her out. She felt a little embarrassed when he came back to watch over her, "You are also busy on duty, so don't delay with me. It doesn't matter to me, just rest for a while. "

He lingered, "I don't trust you."

Song Yin looked up at him, he had a gloomy expression on his face, he probably really cared about her.Although they broke up because of the quarrel about the will before, after all, they gradually established a relationship, as if they were friends, but not necessarily a strange feeling of friends.

She smiled, "I'm young and strong, and I'm not a spoiled lady. I won't die if I catch a cold. How are you and Rangyu? I heard that she hasn't been feeling well these two days. I'm busy with drafts and I don't have time Go see her."

He said: "It's also a cold. After taking medicine, it's almost recovered. I asked the emperor's order to take her out of Shou'an Palace. The Zhuxiang Pavilion in the northwest of Fuwang Pavilion is an independent small courtyard, which has been idle for many years. , I sent someone to clean it up, and I want her to move there. The environment is quieter, and the security is not strict, so I often visit her."

Song Yin heaved a sigh of relief, and said with a slight smile: "Rang Yu is careless, and you have taken care of her."

He stared at her, paused for a moment, and smiled warmly, "I'll save it, you pay attention to your body, and leave the jade to me, don't worry."

Being sick, I endured it for a long time, and finally took leave to go home.

I had taken medicine before, and my body was covered with sweat, and I was drowsy in the car.Suddenly, I heard a child's cry from the market, saying that an ice skate had been smashed from the sky.Suddenly, someone threw a handful of sand on the car shed, and it was all rustling.She stood up and opened the curtain to see, the sky was thick blue gray, and there was a burst of fine hailstones.It was only a blink of an eye, and the snow was falling one after another. This year's late spring was very cold, and it snowed after the beginning of spring. In my memory, there was only one time when I was a child.
