Old thoughts
To the west of the center of Shoukang Palace, is the Kunxi Hall where Mu Manyan, the concubine of Jinde, lives. Although the Kunxi Palace of the www.biquge.info Pavilion of the pen "Fun" is not as prosperous as the Chonghua Palace where Mu Manyan lived back then, nor is it as rich and luxurious as Ruan Jinxi's Qiandong Palace today, but at this moment, the pavilions are exquisite, the water is murmuring, and the green bamboo is green, but it is also an elegant and unique existence in the cold and lonely city.
Perhaps because the sun was fine, Mu Manyan did not rush to chant in the Buddhist hall in the afternoon, but sat in front of the flower hall for a long time and played Go with Huichun.
Xianyue has admired her aunt's eternal quiet appearance since she was a child, as if no matter where she is, she can be the purest self indifferently, as if her thoughts have long been beyond the world, and she has no desires.
"Yue'er, come and sit. ”
Mu Manyan saw Xianyue coming from the corridor in a gorgeous dress from a distance, she put down the black jade chess pieces in her hand with a smile, and then gently raised her bare hand to greet Xianyue. Huichun on the side also stood up with a happy face, bowed down and saluted Xianyue safely.
Xianyue stepped forward to help Huichun, and then slowly sat down on the mahogany chair opposite Mu Manyan, her eyes inadvertently swept to the delicate yellow chrysanthemum trillium on the blue and white porcelain plate on the table, and suddenly remembered Murong Diepan who said goodbye not long ago.
"Auntie, these are chrysanthemum trilliums made by Concubine Jing Tian?"
Mu Manyan's eyebrows raised slightly, and her expression couldn't help but be a little surprised, "Do you know that girl from the Murong family?"
"There happened to be a couple of encounters. ”
"That's really a good girl, she has a very quiet temperament, her face is beautiful, and she is very meticulous in her work," Mu Manyan paused suddenly, and then sighed heavily, "Hey, it's a pity, it's really pitiful......"
Xianyue quietly looked at the gurgling waterfall in the rockery not far away, and did not reply for a while.
"Yue'er, you've worked hard these days......"
"Auntie, I didn't work hard, as long as I am here for a day, I naturally can't let my family suffer in vain," Xianyue came back to her senses and smiled coquettishly at Mu Manyan, "Brother and Fusheng are also fine, according to the words handed by the house, the two of them have been tired of being together every day these days." Our Fusheng is so good, and my brother is not a fool, you can rest easy in the future!"
"That's fine, that's fine, but of course my aunt cares about you the most. ”
Xianyue was busy trying to say something reassuring, she had thought about what she wanted to say before she came, she was eager to reassure her aunt, but now she looked at her aunt's eyes as if she knew everything in her heart, but she didn't know where to start for a while......
Mu Manyan naturally didn't want to embarrass Xianyue, she calmly moved her eyes to the long pavilion not far away, her eyes were far-reaching, "I just heard that the princess of Xiliang in the third mansion is happy." ”
Xianyue frowned slightly, her hands were quietly clenched in the hem of Nuoda's sleeves, and she nodded lightly, "I also heard yesterday, and I sent someone to the treasury this morning to choose a congratulatory gift and send it to King Hao's mansion." ”
"The second child already has a son, and the third princess is also happy, Yue'er, you should know what your aunt wants to say. ”
The garden was silent for a long time, and for a while only the sound of birds and birds hovering at the top, Xianyue seemed to be able to hear the dull beating in her chest, and the embarrassment that she had always wanted to avoid talking about still had to be faced.
"Actually, I've probably removed my green card. The position you mentioned, I guess he didn't like me early on......"
Mu Manyan's hands trembled, and she almost knocked over the white porcelain teacup with the hot tea in her hand, her eyes widened in disbelief, and she said sadly, "Yue'er, how could you be so angry at such a young age? You were so good in the past, what kind of misunderstanding did you have to get to where you are today?"
"Seriously, I don't know, aunt, I really don't know what I've done wrong!" Xianyue's head hung very low, as if he had done something wrong, "It's not that I haven't worked hard, I have also personally prepared meals outside the Taiji Hall and waited for him to return to the court, but he turned me away again and again with the busy affairs of the court." Auntie, I can't go on like that anymore, so where can my self-esteem be? I would rather die alone with dignity than live as I please. Ruan Jinyi's matter is by no means accidental, I don't know when Shan Ze Xiu has accumulated such a big grudge against me or the Nalan family, and I can do it like this......"
Mu Manyan was also heartbroken, how could she not know that this niece was extremely angry, and at this point, she must have been bitter to the extreme. She hurriedly got up and grabbed Xianyue's slightly trembling shoulders and caressed her thin back.
"Yue'er, you can come to Kunxi Hall to talk to me if you have anything in the future, or ask Xilan Yuelan to bring a message for me to find you. Although my aunt can't help you with everything to this day, my aunt's heart will always be towards you in this life!"
Xianyue's heart trembled, and she instantly sighed with emotion, in fact, she cherished her aunt's love for her since she was a child, and she didn't know what to do in the future to be able to repay her......
After less than half a pillar of incense, and without saying a few more words, Mu Manyan's spirit was a little tired. Seeing this situation, Xianyue called Huichun to help him back to the palace to rest, and from time to time he retired.
Coming out of the Kunxi Palace, bypassing a large lotus pond with dry branches, it will be a detour to the gate of Shoukang Palace not far away. At this moment, I saw a small group of people coming slowly from the side of the rockery in the north of the palace. Xianyue fixed his eyes and saw that it was Concubine Rong Cui Shuyun. She usually likes bright colors, but today she is rarely dressed in plain color, the moon-white fairy skirt folded in the folds of the light, lining her beautiful face, as if it is the best magnolia blooming on the branches of the garden, standing in the clear sun.
The stars held the moon like the moon, and the clouds also noticed the Xianyue on the other side, and after being a little surprised, they greeted them with a smile, "Concubine Xian, today is a coincidence." ”
In the past, the two were made side concubines, and they were married to Shi Zexiu, who was still the prince at the time. From the Yue Wangfu to the Cold Silent City, the two of them have their own knots, and they have never had much contact, so Xianyue really didn't expect her to take the initiative to talk to her today.
"Yes, I don't know how Concubine Rong is doing lately?"
"How can a good word be bearable, it's just a matter of getting by. “
Shu Yun smiled, his expression was not pretentious, and the smart posture revealed couldn't help but make people's heartstrings tremble.
However, before Xianyue could respond, Hua Yin, who had gone to the palace gate to spread the sedan chair, hurried from outside the Ming Corridor in a disorderly manner, "Niangniang, Fu Guiren is taking the palace people who have just committed the crime to ask to see you at the gate of Shoukang Palace." ”
"Fu Guiren?"
Shu Yun asked Hua Yin in disbelief, and Xian Yue suddenly remembered that the one who lived in Liuyue Pavilion was not the one who went out of the palace of Aunt Shuyun's mother, Concubine Minzhen.
In this way, the person in front of him must have a lot to do with Jin Wanyuan......
