Cold Palace’s Abandoned Consort

Accompany him with Nianshen to welcome Fu Bashang?

Although I also tried hard to promote Fu Bajiu's entry into Beijing, if I really wanted to meet—I could n’t help but looked up at Pei Yuanzhang. He just looked at me with a smile, and there was always a hint of caution in his smile And even an unabashed look.

And that kind of review is no stranger.

I thought about it and said, "The Emperor ordered it."

After that, I stacked the paper with the rest of the table, and was about to put it on the shelf aside, but Pei Yuanzhen, who was standing behind me, didn't let it go, leaving me almost hit him. I frowned slightly and looked up at him, but didn't speak.

It was him, as if he had thought something, and after a moment of silence, he slowly said, "What other people did you tell to Fu Bazhen?"

I tightened my heart, thought about it, and shook my head: "No."

"..."

I thought he wanted to ask more, but he just frowned slightly and didn't say anything. I avoided him and walked to the shelf to put the stack of paper in place, but I couldn't hold it anymore, and looked back at him. , Said, "What is the emperor worried about?"

"..."

"You are worried, those who attacked Fu Bazhen ..."

He glanced at me and said, "Hey, nothing more than speculation."

"..."

Indeed, it can only be guessed. Although Fu Bashang has retired for many years and has been eating Buddha in Tianmu Temple, his reputation is not covered up by hiding, otherwise the emperor would not think of him in the post of prince. ; He left Tianmu Temple to enter Beijing, and then to avoid others, someone will surely know.

But why are those people so clear?

Luzhou is located at the junction of Sichuan and Shaanxi. After Luzhou, it is within the scope of the Tianchao's full jurisdiction, and the people in Xichuan can no longer run rampant. They can attack Fu Bayu there on time, apparently knowing his schedule clearly.

My eyebrows twisted.

I remembered that night, on the top of Tianzifeng Mountain, Huang Tianba told me that Zongmen was still planning a plan, and he was sure that they were going to move in the palace. At that time, I guessed, Zong The door should be sent to the palace.

However, who this person was, when did he come in, and what did he do, but unfortunately I was kept in the cold palace for more than two years, and I couldn't detect all of this.

If it is said that such a person really exists in the palace and relays the news here, it is not a simple matter for Fu Bayu to be attacked in Luzhou.

More than three years ago, Yao Lao attacked Pei Yuanzhang. Xishan students said that some people would come to Yangzhou, including the students ’riots, which foreshadow that Zongmen had a big operation. However, because of Huang Tianba ’s rebellion, they disrupted their The overall plan, coupled with Pei Yuanzhang's deliberate containment, led Zongmen to suffocate temporarily, and to use his time to hide his strength; and Sheng Jing, who had already entered the city, also because of the relationship between Luo Shi and Huang Tianba, the grassland cavalry these years I didn't go south, but I know very well that people like Roche will not lose their way because of ****. He is like an eagle. If he inhabits enough, he will fly high.

Therefore, in recent years, the dynasty seems very peaceful, but it is only the tranquility before the storm. Otherwise, Pei Yuanzhang will not be under the pressure of Shen Gongyu and so many old ministers in the dynasty.

Only by letting the people rest and recuperate can we prepare for this future Central Plains war.

If such a war is brewing, this person in the palace is very dangerous.

I looked up at Pei Yuanzhang, he looked at me, and his expression seemed to be thinking. He must also know that there is such a person in the palace, but I haven't found it for so many years, presumably this person is really hiding It's deep.

At this time, a clatter of footsteps from outside the door disturbed our thoughts. Turning our heads, I washed my face deeply and ran in happily.

"Father Emperor, Aunt Qing!"

The two immediately put on a smile, and Nian Shen ran to him with a little coquettish emotion: "Father Emperor, is the Father Emperor leaving?"

Pei Yuanzhang smiled slightly: "When did you say you were leaving?"

"Then, will the emperor stay and have a meal with the children?"

"Ok……"

"Father Emperor, Aunt Qing will make delicious food, orange butter, it is delicious, Father Emperor must not have eaten it."

"..."

He and I both hesitated for a moment. He looked up and gave me a deep look. I didn't say anything, but only bowed my head slightly.

He smiled, and stretched out his hand to caress the deep face: "Okay."

.

On this day, Pei Yuanzhen really stayed in Jingren Palace and finished eating with the eldest prince. I do n’t know how many eyes are staring out here, but only when I brought a small pot of cooked orange butter. At the time, people were still a little shy.

A small bowl was brought to his hand, and Pei Yuanzhang lowered his head and smelled it. A slight smile was raised at the corner of her mouth, and Nian Shen immediately offered a treasure and said with joy, "Father Emperor, it is very fragrant."

"Well, it's fragrant."

He looked up at me at the table: "It's really fragrant."

"..."

I didn't say anything. I filled a bowl for Nian Shen and stood silently.

I was eating a deep mouthful and eating a mouthful of food, and it looked as cute as a tadpole puppy. Pei Yuanzhang sat beside him, and rarely did not blame him, just smiling and eating. Then, the sweet smell of oranges permeated the air, faintly drifting away, it was just the smell of oranges, but it had a slightly scent of wine.

I know how beautiful this picture is, I have been asking for the first half of my life-dusk, a lone lamp, a father eating with his children in a big mouth, and I looked at them with a smile, the more fragrant they were, my The sweeter my heart is.

But I know that this is just an illusory painting.

This man is not my husband, he is deep, nor is he my child.

My husband and children are not with me ...

Just when I was stunned, I suddenly heard Nianshen calling me. I looked down and saw Nianshen looking up at me with wide black eyes: "Aunt Qing, what's wrong with you, Aunt Qing? Would you like to eat too? "

Looking at the little red apple-like face, although I knew that this was not my child, I had a soft and warm feeling from my heart, and even the fingertips were warm, I smiled at him softly: "No."

"Oh." He sat back a bit disappointed, and Pei Yuanzhang glanced at me, saying nothing, but deep black eyes thoughtfully.

.

I do n’t know if it was stopped by Nangong Lizhu, or for some other reason. The next day, Shen Rou was quite quiet. I did n’t come to trouble me again. I did a good job doing the homework I explained, and my life turned a bit easier.

However, the days in the harem will certainly not be really easy.

Moreover, a stone has been pressed in my heart, which is the problem that Pei Yuanzhang is worried about.

On that day, I explained the post, and after finishing it, I packed up and went out. Shuixiu was a bit surprised, and asked me where I should go.

Even they know that I have no friends outside Jingren Palace.

I just smiled, and left without saying anything. After leaving the East Sixth Palace, I went to the other side, and soon I arrived at Rong Jingzhai.

This is the residence of Heli Liuli.

Rong Jingzhai is not a particularly luxurious place. With Liu Li's indifferent character, standing outside the door feels a kind of coolness. The little palace female Ganoderma lucidum went in to preach, and soon came out to invite me in.

The yard was a bit colder.

She was left in the cold for more than two years. She regained her favor and was promoted to kindness a few days ago. It is said that such a promotion is also a beautiful event, but there is no joy here.

People like her are always just faint.

Entering the gate, I saw a person standing in the courtyard at a glance, with a charming figure and a lovely hire, but it was a little unexpected, but it was the beauty Ye Yunshuang.

She saw me as if she was a bit surprised. There was a little light flashing in the eyes of the pair of Qiushui Qingling Ling, but she came over with a smile immediately, and I found that she even walked very beautifully, Lian Bu Shanshan, graceful, as if weak Liu Fufeng. It ’s no wonder that Pei Yuanzhang immediately seized her as soon as she entered the palace. Such a beauty is so touching with a smile and even a woman looks at it with a smile. It is hard to guarantee that everyone in the harem will not be regarded as a nail in the eye and a target of criticism .

Therefore, let her come to live with Liu Li.

She came to me and said with a smile: "You, that Yue Qingying."

I blessed her gently: "The daughter has seen Ye Meiren."

She looked at me up and down again, and the expression seemed to have a little "a long name". When I think of these four words, I also feel a little funny, but it looks like her, but it seems real I have heard about it for a long time, and finally I see it in general.

Then she heard her smile and said, "It is rumored that you were the princess of the emperor before, but now you have become a daughter?"

I froze for a moment, then said, "Beauty also said, it is rumor."

"Oh?"

"..." I looked at her with a smile, my eyes fixed, and I stopped talking.

Although Ye Yunshuang is beautiful, it is not a vase. I can see a lot of things in her Qing Lingling's eyes. She looked at me as if she had comprehended her heart, and said, "Are you here to see the maiden sister? "

"Yes."

"Then you go, mother is over there."

"Thank you."

When I faced her respectful blessing, I turned around and walked towards Liu Li's house. After taking two steps, I couldn't help but look back. Ye Yunshuang stood there and looked at me as if waiting for me. Looking back, I smiled slightly at my gaze.

.

After entering Liu Li's room, it was as cold as the entire Rong Jingzhai, and the cold woman was sitting at the table with a cup of tea and a book, but it didn't seem to have any intentions.

I walked over and worshiped, "Folkwoman meets and damsels."

She didn't answer me immediately, but she sat there watching me silently, and her gaze also showed her coldness, patrolling around me, and I knelt there silently, letting her look like that.

After a long time, she said, "Get up."

I stood up: "Xie and Auntie Niang."

Liu Li scratched his lips: "You don't need to thank me, I should thank you."

"..."

She slowly got up and walked in front of me: "What did you tell the emperor about Fu Bayi?"

"Min girls talked a lot."

She smiled and said nothing: "I'm just wondering, why are you helping me?"

"The civilian girl is just to say the truth, that post must be with the mother-in-law."

"... Then, how do you know that my father and Fu Bazhen are old?"

"Liu Yida told Qingying before his life."

"Brother?" As soon as Liu Yi was mentioned, a sorrow flashed in Liu Li's eyes, and he choked a bit before he said, "You and him are just one side, why did he tell you so much."

I smiled: "Perhaps, it's Lord Liu's opinion that Qingying and his fate."

Liu Li glanced at me with a smile, "It's you, you know him."

Come to think of it, I may not really understand Liu Yi, the idea of ​​never regretting it, but I can understand his persistence, especially after meeting Liu Saner, I know that his persistence is actually meaningful, but this There are too few people in the world who really understand their father and son.

I said, "If I can choose, I think Master Liu would like to understand that his mother is his mother. Until the end, he was still worried that his mother would not be able to let go for his business."

Liu Li's face immediately cooled down and said: "If you are me, there is only this last loved one left in this world, but he was killed by the cruelest means, and you will never see him again. Can you let go of the loneliness of this world? "

"..."

I couldn't answer this sentence, just like I didn't dare to think about what would happen if Lier died in the hands of Lizhu Nangong. Am I already crazy?

But looking at Liu Li's indignation and uneasiness, I suddenly felt a little impulsive, and I wanted to tell her—no, all of this is not what you think. Although Liu Yi died, Liu Shizhou died, but they died dead No regrets, because they died for the cause of their life, they die without regret; moreover, you are not alone, you have a loved one, he--

He, where is he?

The thought of this made me choked a little.

What would happen to the man who was as rough as a rock, but with a smile on his face, after the injury I gave him? Will there be a smile on his dark face, or will he just walk away from the world, just like he did in the past?

Feeling hot in my eyes, I hurriedly lowered my head.

Fortunately, Liu Li didn't notice anything wrong with me. She tilted her head and gently wiped her eyes to calm herself. Then she turned to look at me and said, "You come to me today. what?"

"..."

I came here today, I wanted to talk to her about Fu Bazhen ’s post, but I remembered that I had just met Ye Yunshuang in the yard. I thought for a moment, changed my mind temporarily, and shook my head: "Also, it's fine."

"Oh?"

"Uh, the emperor intends to leave the city to meet Fu Bashen. I heard that he asked his mother-in-law to go with him, too?"

"Well, the emperor said that the post was made by me, so I should go there too." She said, and looked at me: "The emperor should let you go too, right?"

"Yes."

She smiled lazily: "What can I do? When I first went to Xichuan, I was very young and I don't remember many things."

I gave her a careful look: "Uh ... what do you remember, mother?"

She said coldly: "I said, I don't remember anymore."

"Oh……"

Having said that, she sneered again and looked at me and said, "Yue Qingying, I really looked down on you a little bit. I didn't expect that you had to fight against the thief when you were in Yangzhou. You had to decide, but now you can still live. Well, it has also become the orthography of Jixian Temple. "

I smiled bitterly.

"But what do you think you can do?"

"..." I murmured in my heart and looked up at her.

Liu Li looked at me, but his eyes were a little blank, as if I didn't know whether he was talking to me or talking to herself, muttering, "This harem is not the original harem anymore, even if you come out, What about it? "

"..."

"On beauty, you can't compare to concubines; on family history, you can't compare to queens; on means, you can't compare to concubines, getting older and less time, the newly picked girls are smarter than one, you can doing what?"

Listening to her words and looking at her sad expression, I was a little heavy, which seemed to be the sadness of all women in the harem.

But it's not mine.

I smiled softly and said, "Hey damsel, man, there is always one death, but we are still alive."

"..." She was a little stunned and looked at me with wide eyes.

"How to die, not to choose, but to live, I choose to let myself be the master!"

"..."

She looked at me in shock, and for a long while speechless, I blessed her gently and turned and walked out.

The door is still as clean as before. In the early autumn, the sky is clear and cloudy, a sycamore tree stands in the courtyard, the yellow leaves reflect the sun, and it is slightly dazzling. I looked at the sycamore tree and turned to look Ye Yunshuang's room.

The door was tightly closed, perhaps because the sunlight was too dazzling, and the inside could not be seen through the window lattice, but I felt a dim and dim.

I thought about it, said nothing, and turned away.

.

Another month passed.

The leaves of Rong Jingzhai ’s Sycamore tree are all yellow, falling to the ground, and Huang Chengcheng is a piece of sunlight.

This is the fall of the Imperial City.

Chang Qing ’s footbathing was finally lifted. She was thinner, but she was okay. When she saw her, she was so crazy that she refused to go down. Chang Qing, with a faint smile, touched the child. Hearted and looked up at me again: "You worked hard."

"Where does the queen maiden speak?"

"Listen to Kouer, Fu Bazhen will be in Beijing these two days?"

"Yes, the emperor has made a decree and will be out of town tomorrow."

"Is it."

Chang Qing smiled, stretched out her hand and held a small face full of deep meat, looked down at him and said, "Are you ready to meet the teacher?"

"Yeah!" Nian Shen nodded vigorously: "Mother, these days Nian Shen is very hard-working. Aunt Qing called Nian Shen Nian's book. I have read it, I have recognized a lot of words, and I will learn my disciples! Even if the teacher wants to take the exam, it won't fail me! "

"Really? The prince is really smart."

Hearing her praise, she was like drinking a pot of orange butter, her eyes narrowed with smile, Chang Qing looked up at me again, and said, "Tomorrow this palace will stay in the palace, you follow the emperor, Keep more refreshments for yourself. "

I nodded. "Yes."

.

The next day was also a fine day, and the car drove out of the palace gate early in the morning.

This time it was not a formal tour, so there was not much honor. I sat in a wagon with deep thoughts. He didn't sleep well at night, and some people were still groggy. They lay in my arms to fight. Sleepy, only when the carriage came out of the palace door, bumped a bit, and then woke up.

He rubbed his eyes and looked around, then looked at me again, and said gently, "Aunt Qing, what's wrong with you?"

"what?"

"Why do you keep looking outside?"

"..." I lowered the curtain and looked down at him with a slight smile, without talking.

Just when the carriage came out of the palace gate, I also knew my mind was a little bit bitter, but I also knew what I should do now. Moreover, even if it was not a formal ceremonial exit, there were a lot of people around Pei Yuanzhang. Not a pair of eyes staring at me.

I just hugged him and didn't speak. It was the first time Nian Shen went out of the house. As soon as I woke up, I became alive. I lay on the window with my eyes wide open and squinted outside. I saw everything pointing and asked. I answered him patiently all the way Question, what is a windmill, what is a wine shop, Tianxiang Tower is a place he cannot ask, there are some books in the palace that can't be seen in the palace.

Although there are many things I ca n’t guarantee for his future now, maybe one day, maybe, all the creatures on this land will be at his feet, and he should know the suffering and joy of the people of Li Min.

The carriage dangled for a few hours before finally leaving the city gate. After passing through a quiet woodland, it stopped in front of a pavilion.

I did n’t know in advance that there was a pavilion here. I was afraid that it was built for this special occasion. The surrounding trees were lined with bamboo. The air was filled with the fragrance of dirt and green leaves. There were occasionally two or two birds chirping. Gives a peaceful and elegant feeling.

The palace guards who had been waiting here all kneeled on both sides to welcome the emperor.

Pei Yuanxi got out of the car and took us in. The building was fast-moving, and it was not sloppy. There was no luxurious erosion of the imperial palace. It was just under the eaves of the cloisters on both sides of the elegant hall with Shuxiangmendi. There is a trench for the clear spring to flow, listening to the sound of flowing water during walking, very comfortable.

Settled everything, some people served hot tea, and someone came to report outside-Fu and his party have arrived.

As soon as I heard it, my heart tightened a bit, and Pei Yuan drew his sleeves, sat calmly on the main seat, and waved, "Please."

Said it was Yuanying, but the courtesy of the monarchs and ministers should not be forgotten.

I sat on the right hand with deep thought. At this time I still stood up and heard a hissing horse outside the gate. After a while, footsteps came from outside. The father-in-law and his party entered the main hall .

I glanced at the figure in the crowd.
