Rebirth after waste

Chapter 2

Gu Yunxian has been standing in front of the plum tree for half an hour.

Today is the first day of the twelfth lunar month, the sun is warm and the weather is rare in winter.Although she has been deposed and moved to live in the secluded and desolate Jingsheng Pavilion, at least she hasn't really been thrown into the cold palace, and it's not so difficult to sneak out to get some air.

Those people must have thought so too.

Looking up at the sun, I reckoned that it was about the same time. They came here at this time last time.

"Hey, look who this is!" A charming voice sounded from behind, all too familiar.

The corners of her lips were slightly curved, but when she turned around, her face was expressionless again, and her eyes glanced coldly at the beautiful woman with long eyebrows into her temples.

Beauty Bo.

It was exactly the same as last time, she was the one who spoke first.Being so impatient, he deserves to be used as a weapon.

"Let me think about it, ah, this is the empress..." Pretending to salute, she paused halfway, "Look at my memory, it's no longer the case, I should say abolish the empress!"

Gu Yunxian looked at her coldly.This beauty Bo was elected into the palace in the first year of Yongjia, and her appearance was considered top-notch in the family of that term, so even though His Majesty had other interests at the time and only selected less than ten people, she was not missed.

It's a pity that although people are born beautiful, their brains are not very good. They are usually arrogant and domineering, and they don't even know how to leave a way out for themselves.I'm afraid Jing Fushu let her do this because she saw this point.

Let her play a poisonous trick and put herself to death.

As if he didn't want to get entangled with her, Gu Yunxian turned around and left.Bo Meiren was not willing to let go, she immediately stood in front of her, and looked her up and down with slightly raised black eyebrows.

Gu Yunxian came out today wearing only a plain winter coat. When she moved out of the Changqiu Palace, she was too hasty and had no time to tidy up and salute. This one was made last year. It has been washed several times this winter, and now it looks very worn out.Bo Meiren is wearing a brand-new jacket and skirt, covered with a cloak trimmed with violet cloud brocade and begonia mink fur. She looks luxurious and imposing.

Comparing the two sides, Gu Yunxian was always compared to a humble servant.

But it was such a woman who was dressed like a servant, but looked at her with condescending eyes, as if she was still a high-ranking mistress and she was just a lowly concubine.

Bo Mei's heart was blocked, and she immediately put aside Zhen Jieyu's orders beforehand, and looked at her with pity: "Seeing your current state, my mother, I will soften my heart. I still remember the time when Chaoyun Palace In the general election, you sat in the hall dressed in fine clothes and decided the fate of all women lightly. How noble was it then? How did it become like this now? Do you think this is retribution?" She said the last sentence Very light and soft, but with an indescribable carefree resentment, as if the bad breath of many years has come out.

But in fact, she has been in the palace for less than two years.Gu Yunxian understands that she hates herself so much because this Mrs. Bo is too high-minded, saying that it is a great honor to be a concubine, but in her heart she regards the status of a concubine as a great pain, and even with it, she feels sorry for her. Gu Yunxian, the mistress, gritted her teeth with hatred.She knew her psychology, that's why she purposely used that look to irritate her just now.

Taking a deep breath, she remained expressionless: "I don't want to argue with you, get out of the way."

"Get out of the way? Who do you think you are, and you can still order me around?" Bo Mei was full of sarcasm, "It's just an abandoned woman, worse than an ordinary concubine! What position does His Majesty give you now?" For example? Oh, it’s Cai Nv, the eighth-rank Cai Nv. The order for 81 imperial wives has been issued, and it’s just a random number. The concubine just made a mistake, and shouldn’t call you Niangniang, Gu Niangzi, that’s the right way to call you.”

According to the rules of the state, the harem imitated Zhou etiquette. Under the queen, there were three wives, nine concubines, 27 concubines, and 81 royal wives. During the Linqing Dynasty, the number of concubines in the palace increased. The original rank system was not enough to arrange so many people. So under it, the three levels of Yunu, Cainu and Chengyi are set up as scattered numbers, and the number is not limited.From the third-rank Jieyu and above, they can be called empresses, and the lower ones are called ladies. Gu Yunxian is now a deposed empress, without any status, but only leading the role of a picking girl, so it is almost the same to regard her as a picking girl.

Miss Gu, it is indeed right to call her that.

She raised her eyes, her eyes were as cold as ice, and the chill was terrifying.Bo Meiren flinched subconsciously, and when she realized it, she immediately became angry: "What are you doing looking at me like that, am I wrong?"

She was so aggressive that finally someone couldn't stand it anymore.

Ye Shi, the talented person who came with her, took a few steps forward and held her hand: "Sister, don't be angry, be careful that you will ruin your body." Zhen Jieyu had ordered in advance not to embarrass Gu Shi too much today, Bo Jinrou's head was so hot that she forgot all about it!

Bo Meiren glanced at her, then withdrew her hand: "Ye Cairen was joking."

Ye Cairen's expression froze immediately.

She was originally a palace servant of His Majesty when he was still in the palace, and she served His Majesty longer than Shen Shuyi who was the first to pass through the door. It was only because of her humble background and ordinary appearance that she was never favored by His Majesty. After she became the throne, she was only given the position of talent. point.Mrs. Bo entered the palace in the first year of Yongjia. In terms of qualifications, she is far behind her, but now she is already half a grade higher than her.

She doesn't like to hear herself calling her sister.

The Rouhua Xing family on the side laughed apologetically when she saw this, and said: "Why are the two good sisters silent? My sister saw that the plum blossoms are in full bloom, and it is extremely beautiful. We must not let down the beauty." Her posture Petite, standing beside the slender beauty Bo is like a little sister who hasn't grown up.

Bo Meiren turned her head and showed a smile: "Sister, you have a good temper, so you are always bullied. There are many people in this palace who bully others. If you always behave like this, you will suffer in the future!" Seeing that Xing Rouhua just bowed her head Smiling, she said again, "It's just my sister who is worrying in vain. How expensive are you now, sister? The prince will be born in a few months and the natural beauty will be endless. It's too late for everyone to flatter you. Who would dare to give you a hard time?"

Xing Rouhua's cheeks turned red when she said that, and she stroked her slightly raised belly with both hands.

Ye Cairen looked at Gu Yunxian, and suddenly said: "Beauty Bo is right, even the Queen Mother praised Sister Rouhua as a blessed person, and no one in the whole palace can compare to her."

Queen Mother.

Gu Yunxian's heart stabbed sharply.She remembered that day, when she was kneeling in the Dazheng Palace, the Queen Mother stood in front of her and looked at her for a long time, then finally sighed softly and said: "Yunniang, the Ai family really didn't expect you to do such a thing. "

She wanted to tell, but she didn't know how to speak.What can I say?It is said that all those women have evil intentions, but she is just for His Majesty, so that he can look at her more?This will only make her more disappointed.

She originally thought that she could be a virtuous and capable wife, a virtuous queen who mothers the world, and assist her son.But she turned into a jealous woman, a mistress who couldn't tolerate concubines and concubines.

She threw away everything that had been promised to her.

But even so, she still told the emperor with a sigh that it is fine to abolish herself, but she cannot be sent to the cold palace, just find a secluded palace to raise her.Because of this, she was not trapped in the cold palace full of half-crazy women, and she still had a quiet place to live.

She lived up to her expectations, but she never failed her.

"Queen Mother..." She pursed her dry lips, and said with difficulty, "Is her old man okay?"

Beauty Bo raised her eyebrows slightly: "Her old man is full of blessings and blessings, so she is naturally good."

"really?"

"As long as you, the daughter-in-law whom she loved so much, don't get mad at her, I think she will be fine." Bo Meiren said coolly.

Gu Yunxian's face was pale as expected.

Seemingly remembering their plan at this time, Bo Meiren said calmly, "Sister Xing, when we are in a daze, we have to kowtow to the Queen Mother and her old lady. If you don't want to, you can pick a branch of wintersweet for her. I think it's up to you There will be a little bit of joy in his hands, so that the Queen Mother can be happy."

It is well known that the Queen Mother likes plum blossoms and the whole palace, and Beauty Bo's proposal is also very reasonable.Xing Rouhua didn't doubt that he was there, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid my sister has clumsy eyes and hands, and can't pick out strong and powerful ones."

"My sister is self-effacing. If you are clumsy, what am I going to do?" Ye Cairen said with a smile on Yan Yan, "What's more, if we juniors have that kind of heart, we can do it. It's really hard to come to the Queen Mother and won't blame me."

Xing Rouhua thought for a while, then passed Gu Yunxian and walked to the plum tree.Gu Yunxian turned around to leave, but Beauty Bo blocked her again: "Why did Miss Gu leave? The Empress Dowager used to love the plums that Miss Gu had folded the most, why don't you help Xing Rouhua pick them out, as a way of repaying the Queen Mother's kindness, okay? "

This was a reason that Gu Yunxian could not refuse.

She looked at the plum tree in full bloom and remained silent.Xing Rouhua pointed to something and asked, "How about this?"

Bo Meiren smiled and said, "I think the one next to it is better. What do you think, Mrs. Gu?"

Xing Rouhua walked a little to the side, and Gu Yunxian followed.He was concentrating on looking at plum blossoms when he was suddenly pushed behind him and fell forward.

She was not far away from Xing Rouhua. According to the thrust, she should have knocked Xing Rouhua to the ground, but for some reason, she fell to the side and fell right beside Xing Rouhua.Xing Rouhua was startled, and subconsciously thought about it, but her feet slipped and she fell forward.

At the critical moment, she instinctively protected her lower abdomen, but she was less than three months pregnant and was not yet stable. If she really fell like this, there would be no guarantee that there would be no problems.Seeing her fall beside him, Gu Yunxian made a movement that surprised everyone—she moved to the side, and even used herself as a pad to catch Xing Rouhua!

The plum blossoms are rustling and falling, pink and white, so moving.Xing Rouhua leaned against Gu Yunxian's arms, her face pale.Bo Meiren and Ye Cairen stared blankly at the scene in front of them, not knowing how to react.It's too far from the plan, this...

"What are you still doing blankly? Why don't you call the imperial physician!" Gu Yunxian suddenly yelled at the two of them.

Ye Cairen came to his senses first, and was about to give instructions to the palace servants beside him, when he saw Lu Chuan, the number one eunuch in front of His Majesty, standing not far away, and before he had time to salute the three of them, he said to Xiao Huangmen who was following him: "Go quickly!" Please imperial physician, report to His Majesty! Hurry up!"

Gu Yunxian sat in the west hall of Yixiang Hall, with his back straight.There was a commotion in the distance from the East Hall, but she didn't seem to hear it.

Xing Rouhua, who had a pale face half an hour ago, was sent back to her bedroom, followed by the imperial physician and His Majesty, and then the concubines.As one of the people present, she was also "invited" over, but with her current status, she was not qualified to join in the fun, and no one cared about being arranged here.

But it doesn't matter, they will come to ask her for questioning soon.

And this time is enough for her to sort out her chaotic thoughts.

Three days ago, she woke up in the dark night of Jingsheng Pavilion, and what she couldn't forget in her mind was that nightmare that was so real that it was almost terrifying.

She accidentally learned from the palace guards that her majesty would go to the plum garden to enjoy the plum blossoms on the first day of the lunar new year, so she sneaked out desperately.I thought I could see him, but I met Bo Jinrou, Xing Wan and Ye Ling there.Bao Jinrou asked Xing Wan to fold plum blossoms, and then pushed her towards Xing Wan from behind while she was not paying attention.There was no suspense about what happened next, she knocked Xing Wan to the ground, causing her to have a miscarriage.

And so coincidentally, Lu Chuan was not far away at the time, and watched all this carefully.

Oh no, it cannot be said that he saw everything.In fact, he only saw himself rushing towards Xing Wan, as if deliberately trying to push her down...

She was already an abandoned person, but now that she was charged with murdering the emperor's descendants, she would have no way out.On Laba day, a cup of poisoned wine killed her.

After drinking the poisonous wine, she never went down to the underworld, but woke up again.

She had read the story of Zhuang Zhou's dream of a butterfly in a book before, and now this dream also confused her, and she couldn't even tell which dream was real and which one was real.

Then the next morning, as in a dream, Ah Ci accidentally dropped the spoon on the floor while serving her porridge and smashed it to pieces.She looked at the snow-white shards with a look of almost fear in her eyes.

She spent the whole day verifying the dream, and finally determined that everything in the dream was about to happen.

In other words, she will be executed ten days later.

Thinking about it now, the palace man who broke the news to her should be one of them, and they set this trap and waited for her to go.In fact, this plan is not very clever, but it is enough to deal with her, who has no one to rely on now, and it can also take the opportunity to get rid of Xing Rouhua's child, killing two birds with one stone.

She could have avoided it and not been fooled by them, but it is conceivable that there will be more insidious means waiting for her in the future, so she might as well go this time.This is an opportunity, and she should make good use of it.

She can't sit still.God asked her to do it all over again, not to wait for her to die.
