Concubine Xin thought about what she saw a few days ago, the grass and trees in the main house were verdant, and the flowers and plants that Chu Zhaohui took care of every day were fragrant. The Xifu begonia in the courtyard was swaying, and there was a sigh all over the place. There are also dozens of pots of orchids in the flower room that bloom new teeth, and they are covered with frost in autumn.

The face of the person does not know where to go, and the peach blossoms are still smiling in the spring breeze.

The annual peach stamens are about to bloom, but it's a pity that there is no one who splatters tears for them.

In the verdant Canglang Xuan, the red cotton is also blooming and failing, and the ginkgo tree is still yellow and green, but it can no longer welcome its owner. There is also a small courtyard with a deep lock of Du Ruo's heavy door, where the grass is already barren, and there is no trace of the atmosphere of the Yiren living alone that day.

Concubine Xin had also moved out of the main courtyard and returned to her room. And told the old housekeeper to lock the main house, Yuyuan, Ronglangxuan and other places, and also blocked the channels for communication between the inner house and the outer house.

There is no need for so many slaves at all, and Concubine Xin wants to dismiss most of the slaves in the backyard. If anyone wants to leave, they will return their deeds of sale, and give them a few taels of silver to settle down.

If there are those who are really unwilling to leave, King An's Mansion has its own grange for them to live in, or they can stay in the mansion and listen to the dispatch of the old housekeeper, take care of the few shops in the mansion, and do their best to accommodate these people.

Listening to Concubine Xin's methodical story, the Queen Mother felt that every sentence was feasible. These thoughts were well thought out, and she knew that Concubine Xin had obviously thought about it more than once.

The sun is bright and warm in early spring, and through the carved window edges, the beautiful face of Concubine Xin is obliquely reflected.

In order to enter the palace, Concubine Xin applied a little light makeup, her cheeks were blurred with a touch of rouge, and the palace clothes of the crimson feather clouds and flowers and birds were tied with sapphire blue silk, and her slender waist was not in her hand, as if she was still a young woman.

Only the two crow's feet lines at the corners of the eyes are clearly visible, and even the fat powder can't cover them up. This kind of annual ring, which has been deeply crushed by the years, should not appear on her body at this time, which shows that she has endured great suffering over the years.

The Empress Dowager first ordered Mama Bai to help Concubine Xin get up, and ordered her to sit on the rose chair at the bottom and speak. did not retire the Murong Wei sisters, but wanted them to listen more to the warmth and coldness of the world.

After pondering for a moment, the Queen Mother said: "Xin Mei, the mourning family gave you a wrong path in the past, and now I can't continue to mislead you." You think about it yourself, if you really want to go, the mourning family will naturally not stop you. If it's just because King An can't live in the palace, you can also enter the palace to be with the mourning family. You can choose the two paths yourself, but if you think carefully, choose the right one. ”

Returning to the Queen Mother's side, Concubine Xin did not think about it. The female officials in the Shoukang Palace can still be people. But as long as she thought of Su Rui's rescue at the gate of the palace in the past, and Chu Zhaohui, who was adrift in the border city but was willing, she was unwavering.

Concubine Xin stood up again, saluted the Queen Mother, and said firmly: "That day, with the lady living in the main courtyard, Xin Mei personally promised to work with her to support the lintel of King An's Mansion for the general. Now Madame chooses to stay in the border city, it must be because it is closer to the general. Xin Mei is still willing to follow all his life, without regrets. ”

"Have you thought about it? This time the mountains and rivers are long, and everything is no better than Beijing." The Empress Dowager looked at Concubine Xin inquiringly, trying to find a trace of hesitation in her eyes, but found that her eyes were extremely clear.

Concubine Xin's face was calm, there was a flash of bright color in her eyes, and the soft Wu Nong's soft words were full of affection that she couldn't even imagine: "It's only because of the feeling that Jun looks back, which makes me think about Jun and the dynasty." Xin Mei is willing to follow his wife's example and stay in the place closest to the general. ”

"Go, go, go", the Queen Mother waved her hand sadly, and a trace of unbearability flashed in her eyes: "You have fallen into such a situation, it is all the fault of the mourning family." If you think it's better to go to the border city, stay there with Zhaohui. ”

Concubine Xin smiled and thanked her, her voice was light and soft, and she had joy that could not be concealed. She said sincerely: "Queen Mother, it is the blessing of the concubine's life to be able to marry the general. ”

The story between Concubine Xin and Su Rui is no longer known except herself. Even Su Rui himself did not expect that the unintentional move at the gate of the palace in the past would be exchanged for the unrepentant and uncomplaining love of Concubine Xin.

Although the Queen Mother was sad to hear it, she had no intention of exploring the truth of the year. She only looked at Concubine Xin with pity and said, "If there is anything else that needs the help of the mourning family, you can say it." ”

Concubine Xin said with a smile: "I don't dare to work the Queen Mother anymore." Madame had left in a hurry that day, and some of her daily utensils were still at home. After the concubine and Mingzhu packed together, they came to say goodbye to the queen mother. ”

Although the topic was a bit heavy, everyone had their own place to listen, but Murong Wei felt relieved.

In the past, he was worried that his aunt would force her to die and force Su Duhan to comply. Murong Wei was afraid that history would repeat itself, and before Chu Zhaohui set off, she had specially asked Luo Qi to come over and talk, asking Luo Qi to keep an eye on her aunt at all times, so that she would not have the opportunity to commit suicide.

The whole process of Mrs. Anguo's break with Su Duhan that day was handed over through Li Zhifang's recital, and Luo Qi personally narrated that those sonorous words made the emperor and queen stunned, and even made Murong Wei break his wrist.

Now I don't have to worry about my aunt not being able to withstand the wind and rain, she is like a flexible cattail, every time she goes through the baptism of suffering, she straightens her back and glows with stronger vitality.

Perhaps the land that was too rich was not suitable for my aunt to take root in life, and what my aunt needed was the barren soil of the border city so that she could take root firmly and deeply.

Moreover, although the border city is barren, as long as there is a Buddha in the heart, the South China Sea is everywhere. Murong Wei always believed that since her aunt sincerely wanted to stay there, she would definitely be at peace.

And Concubine Xin, although she didn't know why she had to follow her aunt to the border city, just looking at the brilliance in her eyes, you could be sure that she didn't regret her decision at all.

Seeing Concubine Xin's back disappear in the Shoukang Palace, Murong Wei looked at the Queen Mother with a sigh on her face, and was truly relieved to say a few words of relief, and said her thoughts.

The Empress Dowager nodded lightly and said in a low voice: "The honey of A, the arsenic of B." Only those who are immersed in the scene can feel it. If she wants it, the mourning family should be fulfilled. ”

I don't know if this is Chu Zhaohui or Concubine Xin, Murong Hui only knows that her aunt has already decided to stay in the border city, and there is no room for turnaround, her eyes are full of tears, she purses her lips and asks, "Imperial grandmother, has my aunt never come back?"

"Ah Hui, since you feel sorry for your aunt, you should wish her a happy and worry-free life in the border city", looking at the clean and clear eyes of the little granddaughter, the Queen Mother said seriously: "You must remember that fulfillment will always make people happy more than giving, and there is no need to force everything." ”
