Chapter 821: The Past

Now, in this palace, the prince only has you and me. It was still a faint tone, but this time, for some reason, Li Wei heard a hint of sadness. There is no doubt that there is him, Li Wei still agrees.

The interior is quiet, the sandalwood is secluded, and the beaded curtains are exquisite.

The two were talking harmoniously, for some reason there was a lot of noise outside, and a small guy shouted "go to the water", Xue Lin ran into the house in a panic, bowed and made a half-salute, and said hurriedly: "Oh no, Your Highness, Jiao Lanxuan is out of the water, please Your Highness and the second lady and avoid it." ”

Li Wei panicked in her heart when she heard this, but when she saw Hua Ran's expression as usual, she said lightly: "Jiao Lanxuan is still separated by the Splendid Workshop and the Star Picking Pavilion here, so why panic." The steward will take care of such small things. Presumably, the fire is not big, and it can't burn here in the main palace. Xuelin, why don't you bring the glazed jade chess that Brother Yan gave to the palace, and then make a pot of tea. Xue Lin didn't say much after listening, and did as she told her to do it......

Sure enough, the fire was extinguished in just half a cup of tea. The housekeeper came in and reported: "Your Highness, Second Lady, you are just going out in the water, disturbing the two, and the old slave is guilty." It's just that the Star Picking Pavilion lost the glazed Wanxiang pattern tube prepared by the prince for His Royal Highness a few days ago, which..."

There was still only a calm indifference in Hua Ran's voice, but he didn't say a word about the lost things, "The housekeeper doesn't have to accuse." Just put out the fire. If a person is injured, the pension will be paid according to the old practice. After finding out the reason for the water, I will tell you again. ”。

The housekeeper thought a little in his heart, and did not dare to speak rashly, so he agreed and was about to retreat, but was stopped.

Hanazome asked, "What is the situation in the palace?" The housekeeper was stunned, Xu didn't expect that she didn't shy away from Li Wei's actions, and was only stunned for a moment. Immediately and respectfully answered, Your Highness. Everything is fine in the palace, but the queen's phoenix body is not in harmony. The affairs of the palace are in charge of the two palace masters of the Bauhinia Palace and the Qiuxin Palace. In addition, a phoenix letter came from the Bauhinia Palace..."Before he could finish speaking, he took out a letter with a phoenix seal and wanted to submit it......

Yuji, who was standing beside him, took it and handed it to the flower dye. Hua Ran took it, muttered for a while, tore open the envelope, hurriedly read a few lines, and smiled lightly. The posture seems to be calm. But according to Li Wei's opinion, there is a slight sense of sadness, and I can't help but wonder. I only heard Hua Ran lightly instructed: "Butler, prepare two sets of palace clothes for the palace, prepare the vehicle to enter the palace, and do it within half an hour." ”

"Yes." The housekeeper immediately understood the meaning of Hua Ran, glanced at Li Wei, and quickly replied and retreated.

Yong'an Palace.

The beaded curtain is dangling, and the sandalwood is faint.

The woman behind the curtain was dying. Occasionally coughing and wheezing, unable to speak, but faintly revealing a bit of majesty and a reproach with concern, "Don't you want to stay in King Mu's Mansion to recuperate?" You have been weak since childhood. He was also cold, and he rushed to the palace to take care of things without idleness. I don't know who didn't know who recruited you. ”

The flowers are dyed in a crimson palace dress, and the shadow is plain and clear. Standing indifferently outside the curtain, he replied respectfully: "Queen Mother." Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess of Bauhinia Palace issued a summons and strongly persuaded her sons to enter the palace to visit the queen's illness. ”

The queen sighed. Said: "It's He Wei who is careful. Did she leave anything else behind? ”

Hua Ran seemed to smile faintly, suddenly turned around, and dragged Li Wei half an inch away from the bead curtain with all her strength, and then said half jokingly and half seriously: "Queen Mother, didn't Erchen give you a gift according to her wishes?" ”。

Li Wei was taken aback.

On the way, I was still wondering why I had to bring her, a little woman who was a relative of half of the emperor, to the palace by order of Yiyi, but the eldest princess's indifferent look frightened her and made her dare not ask more. I still have doubts in my heart, and I am still gentle and considerate, why am I cold and ruthless now? It was so unexpectedly dragged on the Yucheng Palace, the cold marble floor, wiped clean and translucent by the maidservant, half reflecting her trembling delicate body.

Sure enough, the person behind the curtain was puzzled: "Hua Dye, what are you doing?" ”。

The soft and delicate thin lips are ripped out in a subtle arc, similar to mockery. Even the tone is gentle and innocent, and it is naturally not salty or light: "Don't you know that the woman in the hall is called Li Wei, although she is Mu Zhaoan's new favorite, but her father, Master Minan Xingmiti, was imprisoned for accepting bribes and misconvicted of a case half a month ago. With such a background, does the queen mother think she is suitable to be the side concubine of the shogunate? ”

"If it is as you say," said the queen, supported by the maid, sat up slightly on the couch behind the curtain, took half a sip of tea, and said slowly, "Then why didn't the Ministry of Rites make a statement when it canonized her a month ago?" And why don't you stop it? If it is like this, where does the royal majesty exist? ”

The expression on Hua Ran's face was half aggrieved and half delicate, and she said eloquently: "The queen mother can know that Mu Wang Ye is responsible for the ministry, and most of the ministers buy the prince's personal favors, and more importantly, this woman's brother Mi Lieming was once the medical officer of my Yuanming Palace... What's even more strange is that he also sits in the Shang Palace, the medical officer of Bizhu Yuan..."

Before the words were finished, the bead curtain was lifted, the queen got down from the couch, walked to Li Wei with the support of the maid, half-bent down, and suddenly reached out and pinched Li Wei's neck, and said angrily: "Really?" Poor Li Wei looked sad, and before she understood what was going on, she was pushed to the forefront by Hua Ran, and she was so frightened that she almost struggled to no avail. I don't know where the sick queen got the strength, pinched so tightly, Li Wei didn't seem to be breathless, until the queen's eyes were dark, and she almost fainted, the maids dared to come up to support her, and persuaded, "Lord Palace, rest." ”。

"Say, what happened to the Yuanming Palace half a year ago, did you maliciously instruct your brother to do it? Well? ”。

The tips of the buds are like frowns, and the silver threads are like snow. It's like coming up from heaven.

Hua Ran came out of Yong'an Palace, took the phoenix, slowly took the warm tea from Xuelin all the way, looked at the tea leaves in the blue cup carefully, and thought about his thoughts quietly.

Tea is a good tea, a good product to be offered in front of the emperor. Those who serve it from below prepare carefully, but those who use it are absent-minded. It seems that the beauties in this harem are talented in appearance, and they are all carefully selected, but how many people change their white heads for white heads, but they still can't see the holy face.

It's a shame.

Li Wei's mournful face faintly emerged, and the beauty pear blossom brought rain, which can indeed attract the love of ordinary men.

Naturally, although her Zheng family is decisive and clear-minded, they have their own opportunities to leave for others, and they are confident that the moon will be profitable. Therefore, she only ordered Shang Si to take a good look at Li Wei. She has not yet been killed.

Just waiting for her good husband to come to the rescue......

No one in the Longling Dynasty knows that she is a man dyed with flowers. He is a graceful, gentle and considerate, and the most pitiful and cherished jade. Seeing people's smiles, polite tone, and a thoughtful attitude, only she knows what kind of person he is.

He is hot on the outside and cold on the inside, and he is the best at coaxing people. Only disdain to coax her.

Everyone only said that Her Royal Highness the eldest princess was cold and decent, and she was the most regular, but they didn't know that she was the real gentle and gentle person. Don't say that she has her own Kite Ming Palace. Even the people of the Mu Wangfu were appeased by her and were willingly managed properly. Zheng Huaran was born with the appearance of the palace master who calmed down the discussions, not just relying on the rules and regulations, Rao is a gorgeous dress, still with the posture of an iceberg, and the heavenly style of the whole body, so that others cannot violate the bounds.

Feng Yuan was instructed to carry it to the main hall of the Lantern Festival in the Yuanming Palace. Hanari held the maid's hand. Dignified and dignified, step by step into the hall.

She looked at the familiar inner hall, her Lantern Festival hall, so bright and bright sunlight through the curtain. Only a faint silence remains. The blue curtain swayed slightly with the breeze, faintly revealing the delicate silhouette of the person behind the curtain......

Hua Ran bowed and bowed, and her voice was cold: "Please say hello to Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess." ”。

Behind the curtain, the figure moved slightly. lifted the curtain and came out, and returned the half-salute: "The eldest princess is fine." ”。

"Between you and me. Why be polite. The two sat down opposite each other, and the agarwood table had already prepared glass jade chess and tea for her two to talk and have fun. The crown princess Wang calmly poured tea and asked, "Is the matter done?" ”。

Hanari took the teacup. also smiled indifferently, and replied as if gossiping: "He Wei, the people in the six palaces are all from your Bauhinia Palace, and you should have already known about her recent situation." The Shang Si Department is not a comfortable place, there is no shortage of food and clothing, but it is not free for the rest of his life. ”

"In this way, now, is there still lukewarm between you and the prince?" Wang He smiled with a smile, changed his words, and raised his head to study Hua Ran's expression, but saw that Hua Ran turned his head sideways, and the shadow of the pearl and jade tassels hanging down on the bun slightly covered the half of the smile. She said in a clear voice, and asked instead of answering: "Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess is already extremely busy in the affairs of the Sixth Palace, why do you have time to care about the private affairs of the Mu Wangfu?" ”

"No matter how big the matter of the sixth house is, it is not as important as your business."

Falling a son, the warbler sounded Yan Yan, and the soft color on He Wei's face did not retreat at all, but it was slightly stubborn......

"Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess, the ministers naturally dare not snub Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, and the husband and wife respect each other like guests."

Push the door in, the sun and the moon have no light.

The answerer was dressed in a dark blue court dress, standing tall and jade, with three thousand green silk tied with a jade crown, hanging down two or three Yingluo, the face was like a silver plate, the teeth were like braided shells, the eyes were like Xuanzhu, the cold smile, and the two intentions were intertwined.

"Oh? Do you dare not slack off, or do you love it from the heart? The jade finger curled slightly, the second joint of the index finger lightly touched the tip of the nose, and He Wei's smile was gentle and gentle, as if her biological mother was back then, and the smile flowing between her eyebrows revealed indescribable softness.

The man laughed heartily when he heard this, and before he answered, he walked straight to the back of the curtain, sat next to Hua Ran, looked at her expression carefully, but saw that she just smiled faintly, raised his hand to pour a cup of tea for him, his starry eyes were half-closed, his cheeks were crimson, and he really had a little bit of the usual shyness of a small woman, so he willingly hugged her into his arms, and whispered in her ear: "Your Highness is hungry and tired?" Your Majesty will come down to the court to pick you up and take you home. ”

Looking closely at the expressions of the two of them, it is obvious that they are affectionate, and the relationship between the two is not as cold and nervous as the outside world rumores.

After a little relaxation, taking a sip of tea, He Wei said: "The palace and the eldest princess meet today to play a game with important matters to discuss, and it is okay for the prince to observe, and the eldest princess of the province will go back to the house and explain it in detail." ”

The two glanced at each other, looked at He Wei indifferently, smelled the fragrance of Xuanmu behind her, and disturbed the window with the breeze outside the window, which was a good time for chatting.

Today, there is only one person in the Longling Dynasty, that is, Zheng Miao, when Zheng Mi was young, the family has adopted the younger brother Zheng Yu, although the military exploits are not as good as Mu Zhao'an Wang Qian, but because he has been practicing martial arts with the Ming Spiegel Master since childhood, although the martial arts heart is not as good as the master, but it will not laugh at the generous family. At the beginning of the founding of the country, Zheng Yu was named the king of Hejian because of the surname Zheng, and was ordered to guard the Bichuan Xianming area and the Qianzhu country to hand over the main road, so that today's military power is divided by Zheng Yu, the king of Hejian, Mu Zhao'an, the king of Deqing, Wang Qian, the commander of the Yulin army, and the royal army......

The king of Hejian was recalled to Beijing, and he entered the palace to face the saint.

The king of Hejian has a virtuous wife, Su Yuanhe, the daughter of the owner of Jinglin Villa. He is very in love with Zheng Yu and has a daughter. His name is Su Ji, and he is the lord of Junlan who is now the saint Zheng Miao. But because of the princess of Hejian, Su's family has been weak for many years. Therefore, he was able to stay in Beijing and concentrate on practicing and recuperating. The Sacred Heart is forgiving, in order not to separate the husband and wife of the King of Hejian for a long time, every year the King of Hejian has the opportunity to return to Beijing to report on his work.

And Su Ji grew up in the military camp since he was a child, with a resolute and resolute temperament, and was born bright and lively, and when he was in his life, he was married by Zheng Mo and Wang Qian, the son of Wang Qian, the commander of the Yulin Army, and Wang Shi, the youngest brother of the current crown princess. This time, she returned to Beijing with her father and brought her husband with her.

He Xi got the news that Su Ji had returned to Beijing in the evening. When Gong E added the lamp and withdrew the meal, she was sitting in front of the bookcase and looking at "Desi", and the side concubine Shen sisters were sitting embroidery on the side, quiet and peaceful. Suddenly, the candle flame flickered, and the lamp seemed to be cold, or something else, all of them shook a little, and the little maid who was adding the lamp trembled. Nearly knocked over the candlestick......

Shen Ning glanced at it with dissatisfaction, and was about to teach a lesson, but was stopped by his sister Shen Xiang on the side, so he had to give up. He Wei was silent. The right is not seen.

At this time, the maid rippled into the temple and saluted the queen. He handed the letter to He and stepped back. He Wei took a look. It is the unique white feather mark of the Wang family's letters, and you know that if it is not your father. It is the younger brother Wang Shi. There were only a few words on the letter, but it was enough to worry He.

Su Ji returned to Ji and led the troops strategically.

Xiu Mei frowned slightly, and Shen Ning and Shen Xiang already understood, and Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess was displeased. So the two sisters obediently retired, leaving only He Wei alone to meditate in the dormitory.

The secrets of the royal family seem to be the mud that is piled up and buried after the snow, and if it is not for the light and darkness, how can it be revealed.

Few people know that originally, the position of the crown princess did not belong to her Wang Hexi, but to the lord of Su Ji. But as everyone knows, according to qualifications, the eldest and youngest are respectful and inferior, and the position of the prince is not Zheng Lian's, it should belong to Zheng Wen, the eldest son of the emperor, the son of the current queen, the eldest princess Zheng Huaran's brother, and the current King of Yan.

And her position as Wang He was originally supposed to be Princess Yan.

However, the holy will is unpredictable, the position of the crown prince belongs to Zheng Lian, the son of the Qin family, the head of the West Palace, Lan Guifei, and she, as the eldest daughter of the Wang family, deserves the gift of being the heir to enter the Bauhinia Palace. And Zheng Lian, this seemingly humble gentleman but actually a deep and unfathomable forbearant man, but on the day she entered the palace as the crown prince's concubine, she set up two side concubines, Shen's Xiangliangdi and Shen's Ning Liangyuan. Such an arrangement, for the Shen family, is a supreme glory; For the Wang family, it is a shame that must be forbearance.

However, He Wei is a woman who is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, she chooses to forbear and accept it, but it does not mean that she is passive. As everyone knows, since the princess entered the palace, she was convinced by everyone in the palace because of her virtuous and gentle name, and within half a year, she came out again, and the son born was named Zheng Zhe according to the emperor's will, so the crown princess Wang's position is well deserved.

He Ji's move, endured humiliation, quietly stabilized his own position, and also preserved the future of the Wang family in the court, and Su Ji, the county lord, was mistakenly accused of marrying He Wei's younger brother, the second son of the palace, Wang Shi.

Although Wang Shi has married Zheng Suji, he has warned He Wei many times that His Royal Highness, the eldest sister, the county lord is by no means as honest and honest as he was born to show, and he needs to be careful to deal with it.

So this time, Zheng Suji and her husband Junshi returned to Beijing with Zheng Yu to report on their work, what is the plan?

Hua Ran once had some friendship with Su Ji, although it is often said that one cold and one hot temperament clash with each other, but for the two of them, they are actually very similar. Although the two are both surnamed Zheng on the surface and are relatives of the same clan, they are really close friends.

The emperor in the palace is mostly elegant and courteous, following the rules, being good at being a woman, reading poetry, not as bright and lively as Su Ji, easy-going and unrestrained. Every time Zheng Suji entered the palace with his father, he liked to run to the Yuanming Palace, which was called beautiful and reminisced about the old story. Her husband, Wang Shi, was a foreign minister, so he was not allowed to enter the inner palace without permission, so he had to follow his father-in-law, Zheng Yu, the king of Hejian, to enter the Qing Sulfur Palace to face the saint.

Zheng Suji did not sit in a sedan chair, and ran to the main hall of the Lantern Festival in the Yuanming Palace, when she arrived, she found that Hua Ran was half-leaning over to practice calligraphy, and there was a half-dried tea on a few cases, so she smiled and took a few tea cups on the case and drank them all: "I have been here for a long time, and I don't see you resting." Practice calligraphy so seriously, maybe you want to take the female champion? ”

Hua Ran raised her eyes and glanced at Su Ji, and said with a smile: "Mrs. Wang, who has been doing it for more than two years, is still so unstable, carefully your husband frowned." His teaching-like chatter, you can still afford it. ”

Listening to this joke, Su Ji only smiled, stood beside Hua Ran, carefully studied the words in front of him with her, and said slowly: "I'm here to deliver the message, and the northwest is safe." As usual, my father would accompany my mother in Kyochu, therefore. We have six months to deploy force in Beijing. In case of the dictatorship of foreign surnames. ”

She spoke the word "foreign surname" very hard, which did not match her childish and bright eyes. Hua Ran had to carefully look at her expression, and listened to her continue, "Mu Zhao'an's ambition is known to everyone, I don't know why the Holy Lord has to endure him. Although he is your husband, one day, you and him will meet each other because of their respective positions. Flower dyeing, you should prepare in advance in case of accidents. ”

"What if I say you should slow down the deployment?" Hua Ran changed her cold appearance of not smiling in the past, and looked at Su Ji with a smile. The gentle but cold meaning in the smile caused Su Ji to be stunned. But seeing that Hua Ran was not in a hurry, he leisurely took his own seal, stamped the seal, and said slowly, "You will only startle the snake like this." Mu Zhaoan is not stupid, the strength of this part of Gyeonggi, in addition to the royal army, General Wang's strength is his world. Even if he is a prince with a foreign surname, he has today's deeds, do you think it is all luck? The father is not mediocre, and he will never let this palace marry a mediocre person. ”

The words were very succinct. is also reasoning, Su Ji is a little anxious, "But this is the only chance." If you let it go, I don't know when..."

Su Ji didn't finish speaking. Hanari laughed to herself.

The impatiens juice-dyed shellfish caressed with the sun, and the luster flowed on several cases. Against the backdrop of the beauty's white skin, it is very good-looking.

Hua Ran knew that the complexion was a sharp weapon for both men and women, and the soft color could also move the heart, so he smiled softly, but said a gentle and vicious sentence: "The county lord urged me to join the hostile camp this time, so I am not afraid of the leakage of heaven and the burial of myself?" ”

Although it was already summer, at this moment, reflecting the coolness of the Lantern Festival Palace, a layer of cold sweat appeared on Zheng Suji's back for no reason.

Hua Dye Jing left, left the words to go to Concubine Hui as a guest, and punished the lord of Su Ji for kneeling for half an hour on the grounds of disrespect. Everyone in the Yuanming Palace turned a blind eye, obediently performed their duties, and did not dare to talk to the county lord in vain. They all know the temper of His Highness Hua Ran, and he doesn't punish people easily, and he doesn't punish people easily.

Yuji accompanied the Lantern Festival Palace, not saying a word, calm and silent.

As one of the personal servants of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, she was not satisfied with the task in front of her, but since Her Royal Highness had already ordered, Yuji could only stay in the palace.

Su Ji suddenly spoke: "Yuji, you say, what is your Royal Highness's heart doing now?" ”

Yuji was confused when she heard it, but she only replied lightly: "The slave doesn't know, but His Royal Highness treats the prince very well, and you treat the county lord very well." ”

Su Ji nodded after hearing this, and said, "I know." ”

She raised her head and looked at the top of the hall, which was painted with nine phoenixes and irises, the painting was delicate and colorful, but the look of the painting was light and cold, like a person dyed with flowers, the same charm.

Su Ji smiled and spoke, as if he was talking to Yuji, and as if he was talking to himself: "Her heart used to be cold, but it was made of meat; Now it's heartwarming, but it's ice carving. ”

After speaking, she lowered her head in despair, as if she had lost her life, but also because of frustration and loss, with the mist in her eyes, she opened a lush iris in her heart......

It seems that this is the first time Mu Ran has heard about Hua Ran, but he doesn't want to come from Su Ji's mouth, Mu Ran still thinks that it is a person like Su Ji, who will never tell others about his past, but he didn't expect this to come from Su Ji's mouth at this time, but Mu Ran was suddenly surprised, although her face was still silent.

"It seems that the past between the second master and the girl is not ......" Mu Ran's words had some mocking looks that could not be concealed.

Su Ji didn't understand what Mu Ran's tone was, he himself sneered, and almost impatiently interrupted Mu Ran's words, there was already a little anger in the depths of his eyes, and he seemed to have been suppressed for a long time, and finally listened to him say, "Chu Muran, the transaction between you and me is in my hands, you are a person who knows each other, so you naturally know how to do it."

Su Ji's words were undoubtedly threatening, and Mu Ran could understand them, but she didn't have too much curiosity about the friendship between the two of them, and Su Ji's solemn words didn't stimulate her much when she heard them in Mu Ran's ears at this time.

It's just that Mu Ran was a little suspicious at this time, what was the relationship between himself and that flower dyeing girl. (To be continued......)
