Chapter 15 The leaves fall in late autumn
Murong Linshuang knelt on the polished floor in an orderly manner. The pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info lowered his head, and his eyes looked straight at the white auspicious clouds embroidered on the edge of his blouse. His hands were retracted into his sleeves, unconsciously rubbing the cuffs of his underwear. Carefully pondering the mind of the person in front of him.
"Do you understand what this palace said?" Miss Gu Er...... Oh, no, it should be the new queen of Daqi who bowed her head slightly, glanced at Murong Linshuang who was kneeling in front of her, and then turned her gaze back to her slightly raised right hand, carefully looking at the nails that the maids had just helped her repair.
"Bengong thinks, Miss Murong, you are a smart person, you understand what Bengong means. This time she didn't take her eyes off her nails.
"It is a blessing for a slave to be able to teach the piano to the queen's mother, how dare you think anything wrong. Murong Linshuang still lowered her head and tried her best to speak in a flat tone.
"Whether it's a blessing or not, only you know. Queen Gu put down her hand, raised her eyes to greet the maid beside her, and helped her gently pinch her shoulder.
"The slave and maid thanked the queen for her mention, and also remembered the queen's teachings and did her duty. Please rest assured. Murong Linshuang still said calmly. His fingers were already rubbing the cuffs of his shirt a little hot.
After listening to Murong Linshuang's words, Queen Gu was stunned for a moment, then regained her composure, looked at the maids and women who were waiting left and right, and motioned for them all to retreat.
After the last mother-in-law walked out and heard the sound of the door closing, Empress Gu stood up and walked in the direction of the door, saying softly as she walked: "Murong Linshuang, do you know?" As she spoke, she listened carefully and confirmed that there was no sound outside the door, so she raised her voice and said: "This palace has often been thinking about it recently, what is the purpose of you approaching this palace?"
Murong Linshuang was stunned at this time, she looked up at Empress Gu, who was looking at her condescendingly, and immediately lowered her head to the bottom, and said with a slight trembling voice: "The slave just wants to ask for a future!
After hearing this, Empress Gu squinted her eyes slightly, the rhythm of the words "Future?" was very slow, like the lingering sound of the strings. It's just that although this voice was tactful, it suddenly lowered the temperature in the room a lot, and Murong Linshuang shivered unconsciously.
"You, the 'No. 1 Beauty in Huzhou', are you still worried about the future?" Queen Gu snorted in her nose, looked at the startled Murong Linshuang, and asked word by word: "Then the palace wants to ask for advice, what is the future of the palace girl, what is the future of the palace map?"
Murong Linshuang was obviously frightened by Queen Gu's momentum, knelt down a little tremblingly, kowtowed and said, "Please calm the queen's anger, please listen to the slave maid's explanation......"
"Listen!" Empress Gu interrupted Murong Linshuang's words, dragging the end of the word "listen", turned around, sat on the soft couch, found a comfortable position for herself, looked at Murong Linshuang's side expressionlessly, and said, "This palace will listen to your explanation, you say it." ”
Murong Linshuang trembled and crawled on the ground a few times, and spun around in half a circle. The floor faced Empress Gu. Still keeping his head down, he began to explain to Empress Gu unhurriedly.
Most of the leaves outside the window had turned yellow or red, and they were blown by the sudden wind, swaying on the branches, whirling, and falling slowly. When it floated to the ground, it was blown up by the wind and flew forward, but the wind was not strong enough, so it had to fly for a while, and then it fell and continued to fly for a while...... It didn't stop until it was blocked by steps hewn out of the stone. The wind continued to blow, and the leaf wanted to continue flying, but unfortunately, he couldn't fly anymore, and after a few struggles, the wind stopped, and the leaf was unwilling to stop at the bottom of the stairs. for it was cold on the ground, even colder than on the branches.
It's cold on the ground. You may not feel it when you're standing, but it's not the same when you're kneeling. Miss Murong Linshuang's knees were already a little painful and numb, but she was still kneeling. For the sake of her future, for her ambitions, for the sake of her own life, she must kneel, at least for now.
"The queen also said that the slave maid is the 'first beauty in Huzhou', but this title is only in Huzhou. Just in Daming. Murong Linshuang paused, secretly glanced at Queen Gu who was sitting crookedly on the couch, and then continued: "The slave maid and her party were sent to the Qi country, and they said something that was not afraid of the queen's jokes - the future is unknown, and they don't know where to go in the future." ”
"How do you say this?" Empress Gu took Murong Linshuang's words, frowned suspiciously and looked at Murong Linshuang's head, but only saw the hairpin in her hair, and then said unhappily: "You raise your head and speak!
"Huh?" Murong Linshuang raised her head and glanced at Queen Gu after hearing this, but found that the other party was staring at her expressionlessly, and hurriedly kowtowed again: "It's all slaves and maids, and it's not good to be abrupt to the queen's mother." Please forgive the Queen. ”
"Okay, okay, this palace won't pursue it. Empress Gu seemed to be a little disgusted by Murong Linshuang's cumbersome but unfaulted etiquette, and waved her hand: "You go on." ”
"The slave obeys. Murong Linshuang kowtowed to Queen Gu again, and then slowly raised her head, straightened her back, and told Queen Gu about her original intention.
After a few squeaks of the autumn cicadas on the tree, there was no sound. I don't know how long later, suddenly, the cicada fell from the branch. Just like that, he fell straight down. Slammed into a field of withered yellow grass, barely making any sound. Only the withered grass collided slightly with each other, making an inaudible "rustling" sound...... Soon, everything was quiet again.
…………
………………
"Of course it's about Sister Qinmei!" Yan Bing tilted her head, looked at Yu Bing, and then at Caiyun, put down the orange in her hand, and said to the two of them cautiously: "Because Sister Qinmei said that she would arrange us properly." ”
The two were stunned and looked at each other, full of puzzlement and confusion.
"When did Qin Mei tell you?" asked Fen Bing as she grabbed her sister's snatch and asked eagerly.
"Pain...... Sister ......" Yan Bing was startled by Yu Bing's sudden movements, and when she reacted, she felt the pain of being caught.
Realizing her gaffe, Yu Bing immediately let go of her sister's hand and secretly complained that she was too impulsive. She breathed a sigh of relief, walked to Yan Bing and sat down, peeling off the orange that Yan Bing had been fiddling with just now, and said softly: "Sister is too nervous, I apologize to you......!"
As he was saying this, someone suddenly knocked on the door in a hurry. The three people in the room looked at each other, who would be coming at this time? And there was such a fierce knock on the door.
"Sister Caiyun is not there?" Yaqiu's voice sounded outside the door.
"In ......" Caiyun replied and went to open the door in confusion. Why did Yaqiu come in such a hurry?
"You don't know yet, do you!" As soon as she entered the house, Yaqiu eagerly grabbed Caiyun's arm with both hands and said anxiously: "The queen has summoned Murong Linshuang!"
"What's so strange about that, isn't she going to teach the pipa to the queen?" Yan Bing took the orange that her sister had received. The orange was slightly sour, and she squinted her eyes and said vaguely.
"Huh?" Yaqiu realized that there were other people in the house. She smiled at Yanbing and Yubing a little embarrassed, and let go of Caiyun's arm. "Your sisters are too. ”
"What's going on?" asked Yu Bing, looking at Yaqiu. This girl has always been a deep character, not in a hurry, and she will not be so out of shape.
"That's right...... Thank you" Yaqiu took Caiyun's tea, held it in the palm of her hand and warmed it, and said, "Ye Luo was shouting just now, what did Murong Linshuang call the queen. She looked around and thought for a moment, "Well...... I've been there for more than an hour. Seeing that Yan Bing still wanted to answer, she hurriedly answered: "I won't teach today!"
……
……
Empress Gu leaned like this, her elbows propped up on the small table of the soft couch, and her eyes looked at Murong Linshuang who was kneeling in front of her without blinking. Although she had already explained to her why she had come to them for a long time, Queen Gu still didn't believe her words.
"You also know the queen...... Queen" Murong Linshuang looked at the queen on the couch, her eyes flickering. After a while, he stopped talking: "You know...... Slaves...... Slave ......"
"What's the grind?" Queen Gu was a little annoyed by her words, "What's the matter, do you think it's comfortable to kneel on this ground?"
"The slave maid doesn't dare" Murong Linshuang hurriedly kowtowed: "It's just that the slave maid is considering her words, and she is afraid of causing the queen's mother to displease!"
"Huh?" Empress Gu looked suspicious, "You can come to the palace to listen, and I don't blame you." ”
"Queen Xie is magnanimous!" Murong Linshuang kowtowed again, and then said slowly: "Queen Mother, you also know ......" Murong Linshuang bit her lower lip lightly, "The slave maid is a high-minded and arrogant person, and she thinks that she is no worse than her...... But...... But she pressed me every time. ”
Murong Linshuang's eyes were slightly red, and she continued: "When I was in the Ming Dynasty, the monarch of the Ming Dynasty protected her and took care of her...... Even when she arrived in the Qi Kingdom......" She paused, looked at Queen Gu's face, lowered her mind, and continued: "When she arrived in the Qi Kingdom, the emperor held her, and the Queen Mother spoiled her. ”
"Bold!" Queen Gu Huo Ran straightened up, raised her hand heavily, and slapped it on the small table beside her. "How dare you say royal right and wrong!"
"The slave and maid are silent!Please atone for the queen's sins!" As she spoke, Murong Linshuang bent down again, lying on the ground, not daring to get up.
Empress Gu stood up, straightened her back, and walked towards Murong Linshuang. "Okay, you sharp-toothed girl. As she spoke, she walked around Murong Linshuang, who was trembling on the ground, sneered, and said, "This palace is asking about you, you actually got involved with Qinmei, and also about the emperor and the queen mother?"
