Cold Palace’s Abandoned Consort

The queen queen held out her hand. I hurriedly helped her to sit in a chair aside. She looked at me calmly and said, "If you want to go out of the palace, there are two ways."

"Which two?"

"One is, two months later, the birthday of Ai's family. At this time of year, the emperor will pardon the world and pray for the family's blessing. If you want to leave the palace, the Ai's family can say to the emperor at that time and will You are pardoned. "

"What is the Queen Mother's second method?"

When I saw that I didn't even think about it, I asked the second one. The queen mother looked at me, but said nothing, but calmly said, "The second way is to let no one know. You go out of the palace."

I frowned slightly and said, "This is easier said than done?"

"After half a month, it is the Emperor's annual ceremony of meditation and blessing."

"Fazen Prayer Ceremony?"

"Yes. In previous years' ceremony, the emperor would lead the ministers and concubines to Taishan to pray for blessings. Day, during this time, he's not here, so you can think of a way. It's just-- "

"But what?"

The queen mother looked into my eyes and said, "If you do this, you are running away."

"..."

"In the spirit of the emperor, the ends of the earth will not let you go, they will definitely catch you back."

"..." After listening to the Empress Dowager, I didn't speak, I just clenched my fists.

Yes, he will catch me back, even if it is a corpse, he will not let me rot outside the palace. That seems to be my nightmare. Even if I have had many opportunities, I gave up. Because I do n’t want to bear that nightmare, I would rather reject Huang Tianba and let the opportunity that I can leave again and again be like this. Go, just hoping that he can give me a chance to leave the palace in a bright and honest way and live a free and comfortable life.

But now--

I slowly raised my head and looked at the queen mother: "I choose the second one."

The Queen Mother said, "Aren't you afraid?"

I shook my head: "I don't have time to be afraid. I want to find my daughter sooner."

"But you have to know that even if the family of Ai really try to smuggle you out of the palace, you may not be able to leave safely."

"..."

"The emperor may not have expected this."

"..."

"If you leave the sight of Ai's family and get caught by them again, maybe-you have no chance to return to the water stupa again."

The queen mother ’s concerns are not without reason. Maybe those people are waiting for me to leave Linshui Stupa. Pei Yuanzhang can silently shut me in the cold palace for more than two years. There may not be another place to shut me A lifetime; and if I fall into the hands of Shen Rou or Nangong Lizhu ...

This is a gamble.

I can't help but remember that many years ago, I left Shangyanggong and deliberately circled on the road to meet Huang Tianba, which impeded many obstacles to the tracker, but unfortunately was found by the people of Zongmen. That method Although it does not work for the people in Zongmen, these people in the palace have not learned this tracking technique and may not work for them.

Anyway, gambling is gambling, winning is risk!

Thinking of this, I gritted my teeth and said to the queen mother, "I want to try."

The queen mother looked at me with a little shock, and was silent for a while. She slowly said, "Girl, Ai Family understands that you are now thinking of women, so even if you go against the will of the Emperor, Ai Family is willing to help you, but you really Think you can escape by yourself? "

I thought for a moment, and looked at the Buddhist altar aside, saying: "I remember the queen mother once said that people must protect themselves by finding their own Amitabha."

"Good."

"But I have heard another story."

"what story?"

I slowly said, "A farmer has a hard life, so he went to the temple to ask for the blessing of the bodhisattva. As soon as he entered the temple door, he saw a man kneeling there to worship the bodhisattva, and that person looks like a bodhisattva in the temple. It looks exactly the same. The farmer asked who he was, and the man replied that he is the free bodhisattva. The farmer is strange, saying that since you are the free bodhisattva, why do you worship yourself? The man said, because I know, Asking others is better than asking ourselves. "

The queen queen heard a slight shock and looked at me with wide eyes.

I smiled and said, "I've finally understood this thing over the years."

No one can be their own Amitabha.

I am going to be my own Amitabha!

The queen mother looked at me for a long time. After a long time, she sighed long, as if she was relieved, but also a little unwilling after all. She slowly stood up holding the chair, turned and walked back.

I looked at her old back, and slowly turned my head to look at the Buddha statue on the table case.

.

Although it is half a month after the ceremony of Feng Chan's blessing, after all, it is a major event once a year. People in the palace have already begun preparations. Even if they reach the secluded waterfront stupa, they can feel the busyness of those people.

And I, the only thing to do every day is to get well.

The Emperor of the Feng Chan Ceremony will cooperate with the queen, ministers and harem concubines to leave the palace for ten days, and at this time, someone from the Department of the Interior will carry the Buddhist scriptures transcribed by the queen mother out of the palace. I can just hide in the car that transports the Buddhist scriptures Go out.

This matter is not difficult to say, but I know how difficult it is, especially if I stand a little more now, I will have uneven breath and cold sweat. If there is any change during this period, I am afraid I will Bao has no strength, so these days I am particularly obedient. No matter how bitter the medicated meal sent by the kitchenette is, I will drink it without frowning. I usually walk around Linshui Stupa without notice. Go and restore strength.

In an instant, the fourteenth day.

I drank a bowl of thick black medicinal juice in one breath, the bitter taste filled the air, even Gui Gui frowned, and the queen queen was sitting next to me, and at this time gently stretched out her hands. I took my fingertips and nodded: "You have no symptoms of cold hands and feet now."

I smiled: "Much better."

"Where is your chest? Still boring?"

"Fortunately, there is no irritability these days."

"Um." The queen mother nodded, as if she had put down a little bit of sweets, Gui Gui offered me a plate of candied fruit to relieve me of the bitterness, and said, "Slave heard that the teams going out tomorrow are ready, the emperor tomorrow I will leave the house early. "

"Oh."

"Slave also heard that the concubine in the harem will go to other people, but the concubine and Li Fei are pregnant with Rokko and are not suitable for boat trips. This time they will not follow the emperor to Tai Temple."

There was a slight movement in my heart-Shen Rongru Nangong Lizhu would not go?

But immediately I thought of it and smiled lightly, whether they can go or not, it has nothing to do with me, and to what extent this harem is going to have nothing to do with me.

Now, I just want to think about myself and only my daughter, that's enough.

However, after Gui Yan said this sentence, there seemed to be something else to say, but she looked at me but stopped talking. The queen mother frowned slightly, "Is there anything else?"

Gui Yan thought for a while and said, "Slave also heard that the emperor will bring a new one this time-"

Without saying a word, someone outside Linshui Stupa already said, "Meet the Queen Mother."

As soon as Gui Yan heard it, he went to the door and did not open the door. He said across the door, "The queen mother is praying to the Buddha. What's the matter?"

"Yuan Yueming, the newly-registered talent, came to confess his queen to the queen mother."

Talent-Yuan Yueming? It was just one of the group of picking girls who had just come to the water stupa that day, and it was closed so soon. However, the concubines and concubines that were usually sealed were brought by the queen, so why didn't Chang Qing come this time? I turned to look at the queen mother, and she said lightly, "The family of Ai said it, so don't come and give a **** to the family of Ai."

People outside the door said, "Yuan Cairen has something to offer to his queen mother."

"Oh?" The queen mother raised her eyebrows and turned to look at me, as if smiling: "Fun."

I also smiled slightly.

"Let's go and see with the sad family."

"..." I nodded, and Gui Gui came forward to help her. When I came to the door, Gui Yan had opened the door, and I saw a bright sun outside reflecting on the lake around the stupa. Sparkling. In the light, a woman wearing a goose-yellow long dress and a petite and delicate figure bowed down: "Chen Ye met the queen mother, and wishes her queen bless you well."

The queen queen stood in the door and looked down at her: "Yuan Cairen?"

"It's a courtier."

That Yuan Yueming always knelt down on the ground, looking humble and humble, and raised something high with both hands: "This is the" Parent's Gratitude Difficult to Scripture "copied by Chen Xun in his spare time. Chen Xun's words are not good. Don't be too stupid by your queen mother. "

There was a slight sorrow in the queen's indifferent face, and I was a little surprised.

On that day, the queen mother actually just said it casually. I told it casually, even Chang Qing didn't take it seriously, but I didn't expect that Yuan Yueming was so meticulous, I really copied this script, I couldn't help but look at her carefully. Fan, I saw the apricot nucleus with a pair of water spirits also glanced at me, but immediately lowered his head again. It looked like a frightened little animal, and could not help but want pity.

But-less than half a month before the girl was admitted to the palace, she was able to stand out and become a talent, which is not what ordinary women can do.

The queen mother looked at her lightly, a slight smile on the corner of her mouth, winked at me, I nodded, and went forward to receive the scripture in the hands of Yuan Cairen.

Just after picking up the book, Yuan Cairen said to me, "I'm bothered by Sister Qingying."

I raised my eyebrows slightly and looked down at her.

She also looked at me, and her young and beautiful face was a sincere and tender smile. I also smiled at her: "The talented man must not torment the civilian girl."

Yuan Cairen laughed: "Sister Qingying is already an old man in this palace. Yueming also hopes to receive the queen mother's pity in the future and get the mention of Qingying sister. Then Yueming will be grateful."

I smiled again, and was about to turn away. Yuan Cairen said again, "Yes, Sister Infant, the queen lady wants Yueming to give you a message, and I have something to tell you."

Chang Qing? I frowned slightly and looked back at her: "What's the matter?"
