A Collection of Old Sayings by Fourth Sister You

Chapter 43 Forbidden Court (43)
I can't bear the pain in my heart, I can't bear lovesickness, it's my mistake. (2)
Qin Rang smiled, and the people near him knew best that it was because of the big quarrel before that the relationship between the empress and the emperor became better.This is a big hurdle, and if you step over it, you will help the officials. Not only will you not be punished, but you will also be greatly rewarded.It's not easy for Dayue's internal servant to be promoted. It took him nearly ten years of hard work from the young Huangmen to Gaopin, and the higher the level, the harder it is.Now he can be regarded as an enshrining official, so it can be seen that marrying a wife and taking concubines is in sight.The sage's trouble has fulfilled hopeless people like them, and it is enough to make people feel grateful.

Qin Rang took two steps forward and said, "Does the sage know that the official family is resting in Yisheng Pavilion?"

I was worried about this before, and when I heard it, it brought up sad things again, so I couldn't do it on my face, pretending to be generous and said: "It should have been, Mrs. Liang has entered the palace for more than three months, and the officials can't keep silent. Don't ask. Besides, Wurong's envoys are going to visit, and the officials also have difficulties with the officials."

Qin Rang said, "The sage is the most magnanimous, but the officials just drank a little too much, and they don't really want to stay with Mrs. Liang..." After a pause, he glanced up, "The minister just now Hearing the vice-deputies know that Mrs. Liang was very embarrassed at the time when the official was lying on the couch looking for the queen. If the saint is willing, he will go to Yisheng Pavilion to accompany him right now, so that Concubine Liang will not take the opportunity to take advantage of the loophole."

Yun Hua was stunned there, what is this?Ask her heart, just want to take him to her side.But since she was in the imperial concubine's pavilion, and she robbed someone halfway, she still didn't let Chi Ying hate make a hole!After all, it's not nameless, she can't bully others with her status as queen.He called the wrong person when he was drunk, and the imperial concubine was already feeling very uncomfortable, and if she appeared again, it was because she deliberately had a grudge with someone.

She thought for a long time, but still shook her head, but she was not at ease in the end, and asked with a blushing face, "The official family...have you ever... recruited a noble concubine...to sleep with you?"

Qin Rang was stunned, "The official family rests in the back pavilion, and only Mrs. Liang is serving in the inner room... I don't know if there is any sleeping."

She let out a sigh of relief, "Officials don't like other people to get close to each other. Is this problem cured now? Why are you so uninhibited towards the imperial concubine?"

Qin Rang said, "Saint, don't worry, the problem of the official family will only get better when you are with the sage. Even if others pretend to be normal in front of others, they will suffer for a long time behind the scenes. The sage is the official's medicine introduction," he said with a smile, "Since the last time the sage entered the side hall study, the minister has noticed it. So if the sage is worried, he can find the sage through the official's house and wait on the official's side. Concubine Liang can't say anything."

If you say it, you won't say it, and if you hate it, you will hate it to the bone.If he did something with the strength of wine, it might be too late to go now.If there is a scene of catching rape, wouldn't it be embarrassing?
She frowned and smiled, "There are so many women in the ban, all of whom are justified. Why should I control the officials? I appreciate your kindness, but you must never go. Go back to Yisheng Pavilion and be on guard." The officials want to appoint you." He then ordered Ah Rong to reward him with something as a congratulatory gift for his promotion.

When Qin Rang left, she felt as if she was being fried.Drunk, alcohol can mess with sex.The noble concubine was born like a flower and jade, with good eyesight, and she will come to trouble again. Maybe now that the medicine introduction has been replaced by someone else, she has become a medicine scum.

Seeing her like this, Chunwo had to come to comfort her, "You have to learn to be patient. You push people out yourself, but others are not. How many women in the palace are eagerly looking forward to the official family, who would like to miss the opportunity?"

"Don't talk about it, mother, my head hurts." She rubbed her temples, then fell back on the pillow wearily.After thinking for a while, he whispered, "I asked someone to ask if there is Tong Shi going to Yisheng Pavilion."

The so-called Tongshi is a female official in the inner chamber, who is in charge of the emperor's Yan Xing.If something happened with the imperial concubine today, the imperial concubine would be anxious to record it without waiting for others to urge her.Chunwo agreed, turned around and went out to attract people's attention, returned to the hall, and sat down beside her.She was restless, frowning, and she shook her lightly, "Just lie down for a while, and you can't fall asleep. If you relax here, others will take the lead."

She turned sideways and sighed deeply.

"I see that you feel so uncomfortable, why don't you do what Qin Rang said?" Chunwo tucked up the thin quilt for her, "What do you have to put on airs between husband and wife? I know the officials care about you, you are so awkward, Wouldn't it chill him?"

Even Chunwo felt that she was awkward, but she couldn't express the pain in her heart.She thought that she would get better if she accepted her fate slowly and lived a steady life, but Yun Guan came back from the dead, it seemed that she was doomed not to be peaceful.

She felt aggrieved, covered her mouth and sobbed softly, Chunwo felt distressed, and Xu Xu comforted: "Okay, okay, these two days have become made of water, don't cry out your eyes. You are depressed, we can't help but look at you." It’s not easy. Let’s go for a walk after dressing up. The official’s family is going back to Funing Palace. We’ll wait at the Yingyang Gate and we’ll meet each other.”

"What do you do when you meet him?" She tucked her eyes and said, "He has a lot of choices, I'm a queen in name, if I don't like it, just throw it away."

It's really a child's heart, and it's all her reason to go upside down.Chunwo smiled helplessly and said, "Don't be self-willed, it's up to you whether you want to be a real queen or not? He stayed in your palace, and you kicked him out in the middle of the night, and now you're crying again?"

She was so angry that she thumped the couch, "I didn't drive him away, he wanted to leave by himself!"

Chunwo knew that he couldn't tell her clearly, so he let her make trouble.But this time I didn't roll all over the bed, which seemed really sad.Hurry up and hug her face, "My good boy, take a step back. You are still young, and you can't control your temper. If you go on like this, you will give the official family to someone else. Don't regret it when the time comes." Said while dragging her , "Get up, pretend to meet by chance, the official loves you, and your tears are shed on him, which is much more useful than crying secretly alone."

Chunwo was just joking, she cried more and more sadly, and fell into her arms, slurred: "Mother, I have encountered a very embarrassing thing, I can't explain it in a few words..."

Chunwo patted her on the back, and said softly: "If you can't say clearly, don't say it, just do what you think. Let me ask you, do you like officials?"

She stopped her tears and nodded shyly, "Although he has many problems."

Chunwo was angry and funny, "You have a lot of problems yourself, and you still pick on others? Now he is in the imperial concubine's pavilion, and you just look at it from a distance?"

She thought about it, and sure enough, she went to sit in front of the mirror and lick her head.Seeing that his complexion was not good, he took the rouge and mixed it with water to dissolve it, and patted a thin layer on his cheeks.After tidying up, he hesitated again, "If he spends the night in the imperial concubine's pavilion, what should I do?"

Chunwo was stunned for a moment and said: "No, the official family is busy with government affairs, so I will definitely go back after taking a nap."

She bowed her head and hummed, "Tell them not to follow, just the two of us."

After all, she still had a good face, Chunwo said hello, and helped her out of Qingning Palace.

If you can't go directly to Yisheng Pavilion, you will go back and forth in the garden.Zonghua has never had such an experience. He is worried about a person in his heart. He can't wait for him, and he can't wait for him. He waits from noon to evening.

The sun was setting, and there was only a faint twilight in the sky. She was enveloped by great loss, and she had a hunch that maybe everything was irreparable.

The sun and the moon alternate, and the whole body is cold.Seeing that there was no hope, Chunwo suddenly said, "Go back, don't catch a cold."

Her face was slumped, her carefully smudged face was all gone, she stood in front of the nursery and shook her head, "Wait a little longer."

Her family background is not very noble, but because her father's family property is huge, she has been pampered since she was a child, and she is not inferior to those rich and powerful families.She has her pride, but now that pride has been shattered, saying to wait a little longer is nothing but desperate stubbornness.Chunwo felt sorry for her, put her shoulders together and said: "Forget it, everything can't be forced. This is the case in the court. It's not a bad thing if you saw it earlier."

She took a deep look in the direction of Yisheng Pavilion, and the palace people in the pavilion were already preparing to light the lamps.She caressed her arms, only to feel her whole body getting colder, and she became discouraged, and it was not worth waiting any longer.Tong Chunwo supported each other and walked back, saying as he walked, "Mother, he is not mine after all."

The current situation makes it impossible for people to enlighten, Chunwo can only say: "It has always been like this, which emperor does not have the Sangong and Six Courtyards? The empress is like a folk mistress, she has to be big and can accommodate. Now not only have to accept other concubines, They may have to educate their children in the future."

"Their children?" She looked at her sadly, "Will the official family have children with them?"

Chunwo nodded slowly, "If you are lucky, you will have children. You are the queen, and the children of the official family are your children. In the future, the princes and imperial concubines will call you empress, and the biological mother will only be called sister."

She listened, as if listening to an incredible story.It was just as difficult for her mother to enter the palace back then, and what she had endured might not be as good as hers, but she came through like this.

After waiting for half a day, all the enthusiasm has cooled down.She doesn't care if she stays overnight in Yisheng Pavilion or not, no one can stop this kind of thing.Those who were sent out to investigate Tong Shi had no results. He did not come out of the cabinet, so there was really no way to record it.

Strangers who can't get close are all used to coax her.Didn't he fall into the gentle village now, and get entangled with the imperial concubine.The ridiculous thing is that I still take my relationship with the emperor seriously, so stupid that there is no cure.

He ate some food at will and sent everyone away.There were so many windows in the front and back of the main hall, she patiently closed them one by one.It's already autumn, and the trees under the moonlight are a little bleak, and the wind blows past, dry and lifeless.She sighed, feeling that she, like these plants, had prospered all spring and it was time to wither.Mr. Cui is right, without Yunguan, without Jinshang, she is nothing in the ban.

She closed the window, carefully inserted the wedge, turned around, and suddenly saw someone standing behind her, which shocked her severely.

"Why don't you ask someone to inform you?" She stroked her chest and said, "Isn't the official family going to bed yet?"

He stood there with cold eyes, "The queen hasn't rested yet."

She pointed at the window helplessly, "It's time to sleep..."

She went to the apse, and he followed slowly with his hands behind his back, "I heard that the queen has been hanging around in the garden for half a day, is the queen waiting for someone?"

Mentioning this made her feel ashamed, yes, a queen wandered on the road he must pass like an abandoned woman, waiting for half a day, but he never showed up.Now that I think about it, I am really crazy, who in the palace doesn't know about his going to Yisheng Pavilion?She chose to go shopping in the garden at this time, and when it was dark, the forbidden lady was talking about her behind her back!

She was eager to argue, and quickly said no, "I was just bored and wanted to walk around. I went to Tianzhang Pavilion earlier and asked Mr. Cui to ask for two volumes of scriptures. When I came back, I still couldn't calm down, so I took a walk in the garden. "

He squinted at her, "Go to meet Cui Zhuyu? What did you talk about?"

She said nothing, "Mr. taught me scriptures and sermons, and he also did some research on Buddhism."

He was silent after hearing this, and said after a long time: "Don't follow the officials, even if he is your teacher, that is a thing of the past. Now you are the king, he is the minister, and men and women are different... I am nothing, Lest the speaker speak."

He still doesn't forget to whitewash the peace, but in fact he has long been greatly dissatisfied.Regardless of Cui Zhuzi's background, when she enters the Forbidden Court, he also follows her. Does it sound good to hear about it?She still doesn't reflect on herself, she still wants to see him, she probably has completely forgotten her identity!

She lowered her head, and the light illuminated half of her face and neck. She wore a long dress after bathing, unlike the usual mid-sole, with an empty neck, giving her a kind of lonely beauty.She didn't look at him, holding her breath in her heart, and said in a low voice: "I'm going to see the teacher. I'm going to see the teacher in an upright manner. I'm not running at night. What can I avoid? Not only will I go today, but I will return the scriptures tomorrow. There are two scriptures If you don’t understand the text, ask your teacher for advice.”

"How dare you!" His voice was deep and powerful, "Is my words no longer useful to you?"

She sat on the twig with her back turned and did not speak for a long while.Annoyed in his heart, he only allowed the state officials to set fires, but not the people to light lamps.She has been hanging out in Yisheng Pavilion until now, but when she went to Tianzhang Pavilion to meet Mr. Cui, he blocked her.Thinking of the grievances she had suffered this afternoon, and the infinite desolation under the setting sun, it was difficult for her to control herself.Huo Di stood up and pushed him away mercilessly, "Go, I don't want you to come to my place."

Pushed by her, he lost his footing and backed up again and again.If you rely on strength, it's not that you can't resist her, it's just that you don't want to be serious with her.She pushed harder and harder, until he was pushed out of the Yongjin Palace. He finally grabbed the door frame and said loudly, "Are you crazy? What are you going to do?"

They made a fuss, which frightened the people who stood there into silence.Who dares to disagree with such an arrogant person today?The queen has gone too far, if Lei Ting is enraged, it may not end well.

The autumn wind made people shiver, and the queen's voice choked, "You are not allowed to come to Yongjin Palace in the future!"

He felt unreasonable, "This forbidden court is mine, why am I not allowed to come here?"

"Where I live is mine, you go to someone else's place." She said coldly, "Anyway, not only do you recognize me now, you have another place to rest."

So she still cared, otherwise she wouldn't have hesitated so long in front of Yingyang Gate.In fact, he knew it a long time ago, but he was angry at the time and made up his mind not to see her.If you can bear it, you shouldn't come tonight, you should leave her alone and let her taste the feeling of being neglected.But it failed in the end, because she was worried that she would give up on him completely after one night, and that she would offend him too much, and she would really drift away.

He sighed, "I'm a little dizzy, please let me in."

She blocks the door, when he goes left, she goes left, when he goes right, she goes right.He said helplessly: "Queen, I haven't passed my alcohol yet, don't lose face in public."

Her decency was long gone, and he still came to talk about decency with her?She sobbed twice, and said in a low voice: "What do the officials think of my place? Is it a place for you to rest when you are drunk? I am very principled. If I don't ask you to come in, I won't let you in."

Her stubborn temper makes it endless fun among lovers.He was secretly happy in his heart, and wondered that he would accept her tricks.It's fine for her to act coquettishly and willfully, as long as she doesn't have second thoughts and doesn't help outsiders to plot against him, he is willing to indulge her.

It was cold outside, she was wearing a thin long coat, what should she do to prevent him from getting sick?He forced his way in, but she pushed him angrily, resisting with her whole body.Right in his arms, he picked her up and carried her into the bedroom.

She bit her lip and struggled, and the people outside were dumbfounded.The small man looks like a fish that just came out of the water, and it's not easy to fight back.In the end, he had to put her down and press her against the wall, "Still making trouble?"

She whimpered and cried, "I hate you, you go!"

"Do you really hate it?" He sniffed her neck ambiguously, "Women like to talk irony, but the queen actually loves me, right?"

She was dumbfounded by his question, and looked at him with a pair of bright eyes under the lamp, taking her soul.His smile gradually faded, he lifted her face, and kissed her rashly.

She was held down by him, unable to move, struggling and unable to break free.At first she was really angry, but his breath enveloped her, and for a moment she forgot her original intention, calmed down, and felt so safe.

In fact, she has never been a firm person, and sometimes she can't even figure out what she is thinking.For example now, she clearly made up her mind not to talk to him anymore, but when he appeared, she immediately softened.

He kissed carefully, there was no smell of alcohol between his lips and teeth, only the fragrance of licorice.Now he has figured out the way, like a child discovering a new thing, hooking her around, teasing her out of breath.I made up my mind to talk to her, but she was so sweet and tried so many times, she couldn't let go.He used to think that he was very calm, but he collapsed when he met her, which is really a crime.But he likes this, he lacks the ability to perceive happiness, even defeating Yun Guan and ascending to the throne is only a fulfillment of a plan, no different from finishing the homework assigned by the Taifu.Now he fell in love with someone, but there was such a big difference, as if he was fished out of the brine and soaked in the sugar bowl, experiencing a new kind of happiness.These happiness all benefited from her, it was her gift to him.

He struggled for a long time, his lips pressed against hers.She turned into a pool of spring water in his arms, he hugged her tightly, and softly asked her during the separation, "Are you waiting for me today?"

She hummed, knowing the taste of the marrow, leaned up to him childishly, and gave him a peck.
