Chapter Ninety-Three
When he left the alder, Jing Feng deliberately looked around...... Suddenly, his feet froze, his body in a golden dragon robe froze, and he seemed to see a woman in an ordinary green shirt in front of the Bodhi tree, the color of her clothes was not very bright, it was the kind of half-washed and not old, although it was not gorgeous, but it was very clean...... The woman is very simple, even on the day she died, she didn't have a day of luxury, the woman in the green shirt was smiling at Jing Feng, but she was just smiling, and there was always a trace of sadness on her face, but ...... The woman's eyes are very gentle, not stunning, but there is an affinity on her body, which makes people want to get close to her for no reason, and they can feel the warmth given by the woman from a distance.
The corners of Jing Feng's lips trembled, his pupils dilated a little, he took two steps forward, and called out with difficulty in his throat, "Mother!"
In Jing Feng's memory, that woman would never let him call her mother, he could call her mother, call her mother, but as long as he called her mother, the originally gentle woman would frown...... She always said, "What mother concubine father, father is father, mother is mother...... Feng'er, I don't have the ability to make your father and emperor become your father, but please promise your mother that your mother will have a son of her own and a mother to whom her son is attached like an ordinary woman. When he was a child, Jing Feng had learned to calculate, but this woman's words made him feel warm, "Mother knows that her background has dragged down your ambitions, Mother is sorry for you, Feng'er, forgive Mother for being just a humble palace maid...... But, please believe Mother, although I can't give your father the favor of the Emperor, but Mother will compensate you. With a qiΔ that my mother can have, including my life. β
Xia Ying heard Jing Feng's call, and couldn't help but look back, but she didn't see anything.
Frowning slightly, Xia Yingfang pushed Jing Feng with her elbow and said, "What's wrong with you?"
When Jing Feng heard this, he took a deep breath and shook his head again and again, "It's okay!" When he raised his eyes again, the woman in the green shirt had disappeared. Jing Feng rubbed his eyes and sneered, he actually had such an illusion.
The bronze mirror under the linden tree has not yet been taken away. From a distance, Jing Feng saw the two people in the bronze mirror at a glance, clothes of the same color, one dragon and one phoenix, and one resolute. A feminine ......
Isn't she worried about her son? So, even if she is dead, she also wants to see her real daughter-in-law? That's why she will appear under that Bodhi tree? Jing Feng was amused by his own thoughts...... What kind of daughter-in-law? How can he have a real wife in his life? He wants to be the king, he wants the world. He won't let himself fall into that ridiculous whirlpool, he wants the country, he wants power! can be like Situ Qinglian, a friend and a chess piece, or like Yuehua, a subordinate or a staff officer, or even like Yi Shangguo. For the forces behind her, but she is used to being spoiled. However, he must not become like his mother, like Si Bai, like purple sulfur...... There are too many, in short, among those people around him, as long as they are emotional, they will have weaknesses, and as long as there are people who care very much, they will become hesitant and indecisive in the face of gains and losses...... He thinks that such a person is ridiculous, he allows others to be affectionate towards him, but he will not let himself pay a little sincerity, over the years, Jing Feng always feels that even if there is no love, she can handle the relationship between the concubines and concubines, so that the forces behind them can pull each other......
Including summer cherry blossoms...... In short, sooner or later, she will also kill him at his hands.
"It's nothing!" When he turned around again, Jing Feng couldn't see any love in his eyes anymore, Baili Fengye was thoughtful, and his white hand lightly tapped on his chin, not knowing what to think about anymore.
Situ Qinglian followed Jing Feng and Xia Ying's skills, and asked lightly, "Does the emperor miss his mother?"
Without answering Situ Qinglian's words, Jing Feng quickened his pace and strode towards the outside of the hall, the Alder Hall was far away from the other palaces, and Xia Ying sent all the subordinates, it looked very desolate, and he didn't see people for a long time......
However, even so, the laughter centered on the Imperial Garden spread far away, and occasionally, Jing Feng could hear a few laughs.
It didn't take long to go, the sky was already half dark, even if the surroundings could still be seen clearly, but, the palace was already brilliantly lit, lanterns were lit everywhere, and some of the palaces where the favorite concubines lived even used dozens of night pearls to hang on the beams of the house, in place of the lanterns, the light green luster of the night pearl was very beautiful, the whole palace was illuminated brightly, from time to time some flying insects would circle around the night pearl, adding a little hazy beauty for no reason, such a palace night scene, Xia Ying had never seen it before......
The imperial palace of Great Xia is very spectacular in the four countries, it can be said that it is the most outstanding palace of the four countries, the emperor of Great Xia hundreds of years ago was very extravagant, the palace was built magnificently, and it cost thousands of dollars of silver, at that time Great Xia can be said to be the overlord of the four countries, compared to the current Hua Chu has more than that, at that time, if Emperor Xia gave an order, he would have already ruled the world, how could there be the other three kingdoms, when he was the emperor of Xue Xi, it pushed the Great Xia to the prosperity of the past, and in the era of Xue Xi's rule, the ordinary people of Great Xia were better than the aristocratic life of other countriesβ¦β¦ However, year after year, the Xia emperors were complacent, weakened from generation to generation, and finally let the peak dynasty go downhill, and when it came to Xia Ying's father's generation, it was almost destroyed, and later, Xia Ying and Xia Qian went through all kinds of difficulties, and finally ascended to the throne of God, although the situation of Great Xia was changed a little better, but it did not necessarily make much progress, Great Xia has been defeated in the hands of the previous emperors, and it is not an overnight thing to want to be rich and strong......
Therefore, in order to recreate the prosperous scene of the past in Daxia, Xia Ying and Xia Qian are particularly economical, not to mention the night pearl, when it is the candle flame, it must also be distributed according to the position...... And when to light the lights, when to turn off the lights, are strict requirements, how can it be like Hua Chu, the sky is still dark, and the palace has already been dark!
Xia Ying looked at the night pearl hanging on the roof, and smiled faintly, Baili Fengye was amazed when she saw that smile...... He knew that Xia Ying, who was dressed like this, probably only had this time in his life, how could he not keep such a beautiful work in mind. "Ah Ying, do you like it? Feng Ye also received a lot of night pearls, otherwise, let's hang some in the hall too!"
"No!" Xia Ying shook her head repeatedly, "I always have to go back to the battlefield...... It's not good to spoil yourself too much!"
Hearing this, Jing Feng and Baili Fengye were shocked at the same time, and some similar feelings surged in their chests! But she said that she couldn't spoil herself, maybe Xia Ying didn't think so, she even took it for granted. But...... The people around him will feel sad for her, feel sorry for her, but they also admire her tenacity even more, a woman in the world. Can be like the ...... of Jing'an prince Xia Ying's How many are there, exactly?
A trace of dumbness flashed on Situ Qinglian's complexion, which was as white as a pear blossom, Chunyu and Situ Qinglian glanced at each other, and only sighed lightly in their hearts, this Xia Ying is so cautious, I'm afraid, it's really difficult to deal with. It's no wonder that she couldn't monitor her in those days, but she suffered a lot by Xia Ying's side, you don't know your details when you are someone else. But she doesn't know it, in fact, in her eyes, you are just a hard-working play......! What could be saddder than that?
Gil Niying has been grounded by Jing Feng for several days with the trouble in the post house, and now she can finally take advantage of the banquet to come out to breathe. If she doesn't come out again, she's about to suffocate to death. It's very strange that she should feel sad that the queen's position is not related to her today, but there is not much sadness in her heart, but more unwillingness......
scolded herself in her heart for not having ambition, no wonder her father always scolded her for not growing up, Gilney shrugged her shoulders, anyway...... Compared to the Yi family, the loss of the Gilni family is not big, she didn't get the throne, didn't Situ Qinglian get it either......?
The days are still long, there is no need to be sad about what has happened, Ying Ping smiled...... Now, the most worthy of oneself is to let oneself live a wonderful point, so that he can conceive the first dragon species in the palace as soon as possible.
Today, Gilney Ying is wearing a bright purple beaded jade skirt, although the luxury symbolized is not as good as the phoenix clothes, but from the work to the fine Cheng dΓΉ, to every piece of jade on the clothes will not be inferior to the phoenix clothes, the purple clothes will be a little more energetic with the shadow and the face, the long purple skirt has been held up to the floor, and the transparent and bright gems are embedded on it, like a star lit up in a purple cloud...... Ying Yi is also very good at many concubines, and it is also because Duan Fan feels that Ying Ping will definitely become the emperor's concubine's biggest capital, and the so-called beauty is probably like this.
The brightness of the shadow is very public, and that kind of beauty is also like her character, extraordinarily arrogant, so that people can't force the eyes, although arrogance may not be the nature of the shadow, but, under the camouflage for many years, it is a fake mask, and it has become a part of the shadow body!
"Concubine!" Ying Ping's personal palace maid handed the lychee that had been peeled in her hand to Ying Ping, for fear that her master would be unhappy, Taozhu also opened her mouth to persuade, "Guifei, don't go to your heart, fortunately, the lord's influence in the court is getting bigger and bigger, that Xia Ying is just a small princess in a small country in Daxia, and now she can be the queen, Ming'er may not even be able to stay in the cold palace, the emperor's favor for the concubine, the slaves and maids are in the eyes, these are not comparable to others." β
Swallowing the lychee whole, Ying Ping squinted her eyes sweetly, a trace of disdain flashed in her heart, Ying Ping was held in her hands by her parents since she was a child, eating the best things, wearing the best clothes, she didn't want to live a hard life, and she wouldn't go to that kind of day, so she didn't care about the things on the side from beginning to end, including her position in Jing Feng's heart, what Ying Ying cared about was nothing more than Jing Feng's love for her, and Jing Feng's honor for Gilney's family.
In the past, Ying Ping liked Jing Feng's cousin very much, when Jing Feng was not yet powerful, Jing Feng often got some gadgets from outside the palace to make her happy, so Jing Ping would let his father support Jing Feng among the many princes, at that time, Situ Qinglian had already joined hands with Jing Feng, and the battle for the throne was imperative, Gilney Duan Fan thought, and to support a prince who was on par with Jing Feng, it was better to support his daughter's husband, so he discussed with Jing Feng in private, and asked him to make Ying Ping a concubine at the draft ceremony after he ascended to the emperor...... The reason why Jing Ping and Jing Feng were not immediately allowed to marry was that Duan Fan was not afraid that it would not be Jing Feng who would sit on the dragon chair in the end!
After that, Jing Feng really ascended the throne, and Ying Ying often went to see him. However, Jing Feng no longer brought her gadgets outside the palace, nor did he tell her some folk tales anymore, although he still doted on her, but he was unwilling to give her a child and did not want to spend the night in her palace...... In fact, she didn't do anything, anyway, she always had to marry an emperor, not Jing Feng but also someone else, and Ying Ying was disappointed because of this. But she was not disappointed, the cousin who would make her happy had been slowly lost on the dragon throne......
In the eyes of the shadow, a high position. It's so much better than the love in his heart, she doesn't care!
"Concubine!" Taozhu didn't say anything when she saw Yingying, but she was very sad...... Before Ying Ying could sigh, Taozhu cried to herself, "Concubine." Don't think about it...... The slave and maid will go to the emperor today, let the emperor come and see you, and the master will also ......"
"Stop!" Glaring up at Momozhu, Shadow yawned, "Don't talk, you have the kung fu to do this." It's better to help Bengong peel a few more lychees, and cry again after returning to the Lu Courtyard if you want to cry, so as to give the palace less shame here. The emperor hasn't put this palace into the cold palace yet, you should cry for this palace first!"
This banquet was all together, and all the noble concubines of Jing Feng came out together, most of them had been taught by the shadow in the past, and now they heard the shadow of the personal palace maid Taozhu crying like a tearful person. Listening to the emperor banning her feet, how could she not take the opportunity to ridicule a few points. At that moment, the concubine Ran walked away and said implicitly, "Sister Ping'er, what do you say about the cold palace is not a cold palace, Your Majesty just banned your feet for a few days, how could you let your sister enter the cold palace, and Taozhu too, how could you cry so sadly, but who provoked you, this palace and Sister Ping'er are their own sisters, and Sister Ping'er treats you so well, her people are bullied, and this palace naturally wants to help take care of it, Taozhu, you can say it, there is this palace to support you." β
Don't look at Concubine Ran's words, there is not a word of disrespect, but who in the queen and palace didn't hear the meaning of her words, Concubine Ran repeatedly mentioned the grounding, and said that she wanted to help Taozhu support her waist, but it was just a sarcasm that the shadow fell out of favor, and even her own palace maid couldn't protect it, and she called the shadow with her sister everywhere, which really meant replacing the shadow with the position of this concubine.
Lan Zhaorong, who was beside Concubine Ran, walked over, covered her lips and smiled, and after saluting Ying Ping, she looked at Concubine Ran and said, "Sister Ran's words are not right...... Those who understand know that Sister Ran is caring about the concubine, but those who don't know may think that Sister Ran is falling into the well, which will make the sister and sister scream, Yun Ling remembers that the concubine and Sister Ran were born in the same month, speaking of which, the concubine is still fifteen days older than Sister Ran. Seeing that Concubine Ran's face had changed, Lan Zhaorong hurriedly said, "Ah, Sister Ran, don't be angry, Yun Ling just wants to remind her sister, in case the uninteresting villains next to her in this palace say bad things about Sister Ran." β
Concubine Ran's face changed again and again, Lan Yunling was a group of show girls who entered the palace with her, although her rank was not as high as her, but Jing Feng lived in her palace more than she lived there.
Sure enough, she was a show girl who only arrived last year, and that's all there is to it...... A trace of disdain flashed in Ying Ping's heart, this Ran Concubine will only play tricks, and sooner or later she will die ugly, Ying Ping didn't want to worry about them, but who is she, she is a concubine that everyone in the palace respects away, if she is no longer arrogant one day, I am afraid that life will be sad.
At that moment, Ying Ping straightened up, sneered twice, patted the pastry crumbs on the purple clothes, and raised his hand to fan Ran Concubine's face, "It turns out that you mean to step on the palace under your feet!" β
Concubine Ran was stunned, not long after she entered the palace, how could she not want to climb to a high place? Although her background is not as good as that of Yingjiao, she has never suffered this crime since she was a child, who dares to beat her at home? Her chest rose and fell, and Concubine Ran wanted to fight back, but she was not the daughter of a military general, and she didn't know martial arts, so she would definitely not be able to beat Yingjiao, let alone ...... Ying Ping's position is much higher than her, Concubine Ran saw that Ying Ping was really angry, and knelt on the ground in a row, "Guifei Niangniang, the concubine didn't mean that, it was Niangniang who misunderstood the concubine." β
Ying Pingcai didn't bother to listen to her explanation, and regardless of how many former ministers were around, he raised his voice and said, "If you don't fight, you don't want to fight." The palace will sue the emperor and let the emperor demote you to the cold palace. β
Concubine Ran was overjoyed, thinking that after seeing Jing Feng, the emperor would definitely stand on her side...... Those flowers appeared in front of Concubine Ran one by one, "Guifei Niangniang, you can't do this, the concubine just looked at Taozhu crying sadly, and then ......"
Lan Zhaorong watched from the sidelines, pursing his lips and smiling lightly from time to time, but. No one could see that smile, the more sad Concubine Ran cried, the more uneasy Lan Zhaorong became. wringing his handkerchief from time to time, he persuaded, "Concubine, don't think of Sister Ran, she is just confused for a while!"
But the more persuasive this is. The more angry Ying Ping's anger became, and all of a sudden, the word confused made Concubine Ran sit on such a charge.
"If you don't do it, right, that's good, this palace is not welcome!" A few slaps knocked out a smear of blood on Concubine Ran's lips.
More and more ministers entered the palace, and the banquet seemed to be lively, and Gilney Duan Fan waited for a while. It wasn't until Yingping's slaps turned his hands red, that he coughed and walked to Yingping's side, grabbed Yingping's hand, and didn't let Yingping's slap fall on Ran's face.
"See the concubine. Duan Fan glanced at Concubine Ran, and then looked at his daughter. "Please also ask the mother's subordinates to be merciful. β
Ying Ying said goodbye and straightened Gilney Duan Fan's body. "Father, what kind of courtesy do you have to do with your daughter? Saying this, he raised his foot and kicked the kneeling Concubine Ran, "I spared you for my father's sake today, and don't let this palace see you again next time." β
Ran Zheng had already seen his baby daughter being beaten like this, and his heart was sour and bitter, and he was relieved when he saw Yingying, so he ran to help his daughter up, "Qing'er!"
When Concubine Ran saw Ran Zheng, she cried even more fiercely, "Father." β
Duan Fan snorted coldly in his heart, but he repeatedly disliked Ran Zheng, "Zheng Shangshu, I'm really sorry, Ping'er has been spoiled by me since she was a child, so much so that she made such a big mistake today, don't be surprised." β
Ran Zheng endured thousands of distressed hearts, and said, "No, no, no, it's Qing'er's fault, the concubine's lesson is right, Qing'er should thank the concubine for teaching......"
When Ying Ping heard this, he laughed and raised his head and laughed a few times, and kicked again in front of Ran Zheng, "Did you hear it, your old son said that the lesson of this palace is to cry and cry in front of this palace, as if this palace bullied you." β
Concubine Ran only felt that the eyes of everyone around her had turned into sharp knives, she had never been insulted like this, she took a deep breath, Concubine Ran pushed her father, she never thought that the father who loved her would say such a thing, Rao was very disappointed.
Ying Ping watched Ran Qing walk away, and his heart was shocked, there was hatred in those eyes......
Interesting, really interesting! Ying smiled shallowly, she was just a concubine, no matter how much she hated, there was no way to take her, it seemed that before her strength ended, it was not her who suffered first, but Lan Yunling, who kept saying "good things" for her today!
It is really not a wise idea to leave someone who hates herself, Ying Ying made up her mind, as long as Lan Yunling had an accident, then she would immediately take action to get rid of today's trouble.
Lan Zhaorong glanced at Ying Ping thoughtfully, quietly retreated, and sat down on the inconspicuous table obediently.
Lan Zhaorong sat down, and then saw that in the shadow of the table, there was actually a person seated, that person was dressed in the prosperous blue cherry, as if it was Yi Shangguo, Yi Guifei, Lan Zhaorong acted cautiously, she could not offend people, she would never be rude, and hurriedly saluted Yi Shangguo, "Guifei Niangniang atoned for her sins, Yun Ling didn't see Niangniang here, please forgive Niangniang for the rudeness." β
Yi Shangguo glanced up at Lan Zhaorong, she naturally saw the scene just now, knowing that this woman might not be able to succeed in the future, so she didn't make it difficult, "Okay, this palace doesn't blame you." β
My brother's leg injuries have been treated one by one by famous doctors, but they have all announced that they will be crippled for life in the future, plus Jing Feng has not returned the Igor Tiger Talisman so far, Yi Shangguo, who was originally full of confidence, couldn't help but wonder, could it be that Jing Feng has found other ways to contain the forces of the Situ family and the Gilney family, is it ...... She's really losing ground!
No matter how prosperous the prosperous blue cherry blossom is, she can't hide Yi Shangguo's haggardness, she is indeed afraid that the Yi family will lose power, but what she is more afraid of is that the Yi family will lose power...... Jing Feng no longer needs her chess piece, you see, how sad, Yi Shangguo picked up the wine jug beside him, lifted the wine bait and sent it to his mouth.
Before the banquet began, Yi Shangguo had already drunk a pot of wine, and flushed down the empty wine jug, Yi Shangguo smiled bitterly and handed the empty jug to Lan Zhaorong, "There is no wine in this palace, help this palace get a pot." β
"Yes, the concubine will go. Holding the wine jug that Yi Shangguo had brought with both hands, Lan Zhaorong lowered his eyebrows and turned to the other wine table.
Giggling twice, Yi Shangguo hid in the inconspicuous shadows, a tear fell from the corner of her eye from time to time, is there any way to make her live like a shadow, only care about the glory of the family? Is there any way to make her not fall into the eyes of that emperor, and not to spend her whole life in sorrow for that person? Is there any way...... Let that emperor not see her as a chess piece, so that he can give her a little bit of affection, she is not greedy, she doesn't dare to ask for a heart of his, she only hopes to exchange her own love for a trace of emotion from that person, really...... Just a hint.
She's going to drink!
Ishango fumbled around on the table, but he didn't touch the flask, oh...... Yes, it's gone, it's gone......
As soon as he swept to the most brilliant place of the palace lamp, Yi Shangguo's whole body suddenly froze, and he ...... Here she is, too!
Bitterness rose in her heart, and Yi Shangguo bit her lower lip tightly, she couldn't be unbanned, she wanted to see that person...... I finally mustered up the courage to go and see it, but found that he was not in the palace, it turned out to be ...... He went to the palace of the new queen.
She has paid so much, she wants to get that throne so much, is it really just for the Yi family? No, her initial expectation was actually very humble, she just wanted to stand by his side, enter the history books with Jing Feng, and be firmly linked to his name, her uncle had warned her a long time ago, for an emperor, but reverence, but not emotional, but she didn't listen, now ...... It's so bitter, so bitter!
The woman who was side by side with the man she loved the most was not her! The woman who wore the phoenix robe and corresponded to the dragon robe, why wasn't she? Why was it so easy for a foreign woman to get a height that she couldn't even reach?
Ishango didn't know that he had let the nails painted with blue cherry blossoms sink into his palm, and even blood appeared, but ...... She didn't feel it at all.
"Guifei Niangniang, your wine!" Lan Zhaorong's voice pulled Yi Shangguo back in self-hatred, only then did he realize that his palm was so painful, and he reached out to take the wine, this time, Yi Shangguo did not pour it into his mouth, but poured it into the four half-moon-shaped wounds pinched out by his fingernails in his palm......
The wine got into the fresh wound, and it hurt my heart!
Lan Zhaorong was stunned, only to feel that Yi Shangguo's blood-stained nail painting was much more beautiful than the empty blue cherry blossoms in the previous prosperous era, and the blood-stained painting was a little more resentful, from hell...... Blood ape. , please remember the URL of this site, refreshing, I hope you can like it.
