Xiangmen black-bellied woman

Chapter 302 Prelude to Leaving?

The surrounding officials knelt on the ground, and the huge Ningkun Palace was completely silent.

Baili Junyi knelt on the ground in a daze, feeling as if he was immersed in an ice cellar. Some time ago, he was still immersed in the joy of mother and child reunion. It was just a few months and less than a year. Passed away, and died in front of him.

Shen Ninghua reached out to hold his palm, conveying wordless comfort.

Baili Junyi held her hand tightly, feeling the warmth from his palm, and his numb heart slowly recovered: Yes, he still has Ninghua, he still has children, as a husband, as a father , he can be vulnerable, but he must not fall down.

Baili Qingcang was stunned for a long time before giving an order:

"Leave Mrs. Feng here and find a place to bury her. Jun Yi, send your mother and concubine back to Zhichun Palace, and bury her with the ceremony of an imperial concubine. Just as your mother and concubine said before she was alive, she will be buried in my side mausoleum." , so that it will be convenient for her to settle accounts with me after a hundred years."

"Yes, my son obeys the order."

Baili Junyi got up, bent down to hug Buyunqing, and walked out of Ningkun Palace step by step.

Baili Qingcang looked around and looked at the officials kneeling on the ground, the anger in his body exploded suddenly:

"Why don't you cry? Didn't you come here today to cry? You shouldn't cry when Zhao was buried with the ceremony of a queen? You shouldn't cry when Concubine Xiangui passed away? Can't you cry? Do you want me to help you?"

As soon as this remark came out, the sound of wailing and wailing broke through the sky immediately, the officials wept, the wives were ordered to weep their handkerchiefs, and the sad listeners wept.

Baili Qingcang looked at it for a while, then suddenly sneered, with an expression of indescribable mockery and sadness, turned around and walked out of Ningkun Palace in big strides.

Prince Baili Jinyi knelt on the ground, with wet tears on his face, but his eyes were extremely cold and ruthless.

This is a risky move. If one is not good, his reputation will be ruined, and the position of the crown prince will not be guaranteed. Fortunately, the matter passed without any danger. It was also exposed, and his trick was half successful, and the remaining half was much easier.

In Zhichun Palace, when Baili Junyi came back with Buyunqing in his arms, the maids and servants froze on the spot, wondering what was going on.

Shen Ninghua glanced at them: "Go to the Department of Internal Affairs to get the imperial concubine's palace attire and jewelry, and prepare hot water. I will cleanse the concubine mother myself."

The palace people were dumbfounded, thinking of Prince Yi's face, a thunderbolt exploded in their hearts: Concubine Xiangui is dead!

There is no need for Shen Ninghua to urge him a second time, and they are busy with their own work.

Baili Junyi put Buyun on the bed, and carefully helped her arrange the skirt and headgear: "Ninghua, do you think it's worth it for the mother to do this for a list?"

Shen Ninghua was silent, thinking of the conversation in the Ningkun Palace, it took a long time before she said: "Mother and Concubine did this not just for a list."

"What is that for? Wasn't everything going well? She said some time ago that she would wait for Yongchen and Luoyao to grow up, but now..." Baili Junyi gritted his teeth, the incomprehension and doubt in his heart almost made him His chest exploded.

"I don't understand either. I think the concubine mother didn't understand it in the end. However, it is useless to pursue these things now. Jun Yi, the concubine mother was too tired before. Now that Zhao Huiying is dead, the Zhao family has also fallen, and the Shen family has no Now, the Xiao family is also in danger, she is tired, it's time to take a rest."

She understands the pain. A person regards hatred as a living goal, and when these goals fall one by one, the shell of the body will have no motivation to live, and it will be dazed and empty.

Buyunqing's life is too tiring and bitter, and the hatred in her heart is too deep and strong. Maybe leaving in this way is the best choice...

Baili Junyi hugged Shen Ninghua, almost melting her into his own flesh and blood: "Ninghua, don't leave me, never leave me."

Shen Ninghua patted him on the back, with faint tears in her eyes: "I will not leave, neither will Yong Chen and Luo Yao, our family of four will be together forever. You still have us!"

Just as Zhao Huiying's funeral was over, Buyunqing's funeral began.

One respected the queen's funeral, the other followed the imperial concubine's specifications, and the imperial concubine was in the same position as the deputy queen. The officials and wives who had just finished crying hoarsely at the queen's funeral came to Zhichun Palace.

Baili Junyi and Shen Ninghua knelt in the hall in filial piety, and civil and military officials knelt on both sides. Their crying was much lower than that of Ningkun Palace. The eyes of many officials and wives were as swollen as walnuts, and some of them were so hoarse that they could not cry. .

Only two days later, Baili Qingcang looked much older. Standing at the gate of Zhichun Palace, he felt a little timid, and inexplicably thought about Buyunqing's question that day:

"Tell me, do you have a heart?"

Do I have a heart?

Baili Qingcang closed his eyes, I have!

Originally, I thought that this heart had already been honed to be indestructible, and it would be difficult to hurt it even with swords, guns, swords and halberds, but I didn't expect that this heart would also be fragile and timid at times.

The chief servant stepped forward and reminded softly: "Your Majesty, it's time to go in and offer incense to the concubine Xiangui."

"En." Baili Qingcang nodded, and walked into Zhichun Hall.

The cries in the hall suddenly became louder and more real, and many wives had passed out, not knowing whether they were crying or tired.

Baili Junyi got up and personally lit the incense and handed it to Baili Qingcang respectfully: "Father, please offer incense for the mother and concubine."

Baili Qingcang looked at him, reached out and patted his shoulder: "Jun Yi, take care of yourself."

"Yes, I thank my father for your love." Baili Junyi had a respectful attitude, but this respect was mixed with endless alienation.

Baili Qingcang's throat choked, and he felt a sharp pain in his heart: "You..."

Baili Junyi bent down and retreated, leaving the seat vacant.

An angry look flashed in Baili Qingcang's eyes, and finally he sighed softly, thinking that the child was blaming him for not stopping Buyunqing's actions at that time...

After offering incense, Baili Qingcang looked at Shen Ninghua: "Ninghua, there are plenty of people here, you don't have to watch all night, go back to the house early, there are two children to take care of."

Shen Ninghua raised her head: "Yes, my son knows."

Baili Qingcang lowered his eyes and walked out with his hands behind his back.

The burial will be tomorrow, and all the officials and wives will go back in the evening, only Baili Junyi, Shen Ninghua and a group of palace people are left in the huge Zhichun Palace.

Baili Junyi waved his hand to let the palace servants go down, knelt on the ground and kept placing the paper ingots in the golden basin in front of the coffin. The red flames were burning vigorously, and occasionally fly ash was scattered.

Baili Junyi's eyes were deep, with some conflicts and struggles on his face: "Ninghua, if I want to leave the capital, what do you think?"

Shen Ninghua raised her eyes, her face was a little tired, but her eyes were extraordinarily bright: "Leave the capital, don't you want to fight?"

"No, I'm just taking a step back."

"You know, sometimes taking a step back can mean nothing."

Baili Junyi turned his head, his eyes were extraordinarily serious, and the eyes | fire flickered: "It may also be the sea and the sky!"

Shen Ninghua's eyes flashed: "Where do you want to retreat to?"

"It depends on the arrangement of the father. At Zhao's funeral, the identity of the mother and concubine has been revealed. I think the officials who didn't like me a while ago should also make trouble. At that time, the capital will definitely be full of turmoil. My current power is still too weak, if I can be stronger, if I am sure to pull out the people from Qingtian Pavilion and Biyun Pavilion in one fell swoop, the mother and concubine will also..."

Baili Junyi spoke quickly and anxiously, with deep annoyance and regret in his words:

"Ninghua, I'm not afraid of these coming waves. If I were alone, I would definitely turn him upside down, but not now. I have you and two well-behaved children. It doesn't matter what I do, but I can't let him You take risks, so I will take this step back."

Shen Ninghua stared at him seriously, and suddenly smiled: "Okay, the turmoil we have stirred up in the capital is too great, and it's time to leave this ring to others for a while."

Baili Junyi took her hand and wrapped it carefully in the palm of his hand: "It's just that, I will wrong you and the two children."

Shen Ninghua chuckled lightly:
"I've had a hard time for a long time, and our children are not delicate. Besides, even if we left the capital, it was on the grounds of enfeoffment by the prince. When we arrive in the fiefdom, we will naturally be the masters of one side, so we can appreciate other people's strengths." What's wrong with beautiful scenery and the ability to secretly develop the layout?"

Baili Junyi also laughed, secretly rejoicing in his heart. He was glad that he was a stalker back then, and that he had the cheek to marry Ninghua, a beautiful daughter-in-law. Without her, his life would be completely different.

"Ninghua, thank you."

Shen Ninghua raised her eyes, her slender and thick eyelashes are beautifully curved, she is like the most beautiful and delicate flower, she looks fragile, but no matter how much wind and rain there is, she can bloom calmly:
"Why should I thank you?"

Baili Junyi took her into his arms, and the two pressed their foreheads to each other, their eyes intertwined and their breaths heard each other: "Ninghua, I love you."

Thousands of words finally merged into one sentence. He didn't know how to express the joy and excitement in his heart, so he could only use this sentence to sum it up.Such a wife is lucky to have three lives, how can she not love her?

Shen Ninghua leaned on his shoulder, with a warm and satisfied smile on her face.

Baili Junyi was grateful for being able to marry her, and why didn't she thank him for his persistence many times in her heart.

If she hadn't fallen in love with him, she would have been like Bu Yunqing, who regarded hatred as the only motivation to live. When she avenged her revenge and fulfilled her wish, the meaning of her life would be gone, and she would only live for hatred all her life. How sad such a life would be...

Now that she has a satisfactory husband and two smart and lovely children, she is always thanking God for her kindness.

There were two national mournings in succession, and the whole of Kyoto was immersed in solemnity. Even the busiest streets were much quieter, but under this tranquility, a raging undercurrent was already brewing, and when it erupted, another The stone was shocked.

Nine days later, Baili Qingcang began his morning court.

Shen Ninghua personally helped Baili Junyi put on the court clothes, with a slight smile on her lips all the time: "Be careful."

Baili Junyi smiled lightly, but his eyes were particularly deep: "Don't worry, even if you want to leave, you have to leave a deep impression on the officials, right?"
