Chapter 90: A Heart of Ice in the Jade Pot
"Niangniang, Zhang Meiren is here." When Concubine Shu heard Zhang's visit, she hurriedly straightened her clothes, combed her hair slightly, and leaned on the pillow.
Zhang Meiren walked into the house, saluted according to the rules, and sat down. The two of them were speechless for a while, and after a while, Zhang Meiren said as if she had nothing to say: "Niangniang has been feeling better recently?" ”
Concubine Shu forced herself and smiled: "It's a lot better, I listened to what the beauty mentioned yesterday, and I was puzzled, so I wanted to ask the beauty face to face to understand." ”
Zhang Meiren had a trace of sadness in her eyes, and lamented: "Today's concubine came to express her original intention. After a pause, he saw Concubine Shu staring at herself, and continued: "The concubine's move is indeed selfish. Niangniang also knows that the concubine is from a humble background, and she is not very favored, and her position is only a beauty. ”
When Concubine Shu heard this, she understood a little in her heart, and secretly sighed: Zhang Meiren is really a loving mother, and she does not hesitate to separate her flesh and blood for the future of the princess, but how can she win the love of others. Thinking about it like this, she said: "Zhang Meiren doesn't have to worry too much, the princess is a princess after all, and she has royal blood flowing in her body, but the status of the mother concubine is lower, but in the end, the blood is noble, and she will be able to marry a good husband in the future." ”
Zhang Meiren smiled bitterly: "In the end, it is different, there is a decent mother concubine, even if she marries Lang Jun in the future, her status in her husband's family will be a few points higher." The concubine has only this daughter in her heart, and she has always been worried about the future of the princess. To say something disrespectful, Niangniang hurt her body, but she was afraid that it would be difficult to get pregnant, and the concubine Su Ri saw that Niangniang was a very virtuous person and quite talented, and thought selfishly that if the princess had to be taken care of by Niangniang, Niangniang would definitely treat it as her own and teach her carefully. In this way, the concubine will also be at ease. ”
When Concubine Shu heard this, her mind also turned a little, if she raised the daughter of Zhang Meiren, she also had a hope, and life in the palace would not be too deserted. Moreover, now that she is in the position of concubine, it is indeed much better to teach the daughter of the Zhang family by herself. Thinking like this, he said: "My sister has a heart, this matter still needs you and me to return to the queen together, and get the queen's approval." ”
Zhang Meiren heard the words and said: "The concubine thanked the princess for her mother. ”
Another day passed, Zhaoyun was already in a stable mood, and he was sitting alone in the room reading history books at night, thinking to himself: Bai Zhi, this girl, really has a heart, knowing that she is lonely in the cold palace, so she took a few poetry books over, so she can also talk to relieve her boredom.
Looking at himself, he suddenly felt a sound outside the door, and listening to his heavy footsteps, it must be a man, but it was Zixuan again. In confusion, a person pushed the door in, Zhaoyun looked up, the person who came was dressed in black, staring at himself, Zhaoyun stood up in shock, and exclaimed: "Third prince, you, why did you come here?" ”
Murong Yuhan closed the door, made a silent gesture, and said softly, "Is Jieyu okay these two days?" ”
Zhaoyun snorted, and said, "The third prince doesn't have to call me that, I'm no longer Jieyu." After a pause, he said: "Thank you for the care of the third prince, those two guards were arranged by the third prince, but I am a concubine, and it is really not worth the three princes' efforts for me." ”
Murong Yuhan knew that Zhaoyun Bingxue was smart and clear-minded, but he was afraid that he had already guessed his mind, so he said boldly: "Actually, in fact, I like Jieyu very much, Jieyu's talent, I know that Jieyu is not that kind of person, I am also secretly investigating, hoping to find evidence as soon as possible, clear up the grievances for Jieyu, and ask Jieyu to be patient for a while." ”
When Zhaoyun heard this, he said: "These **** have already figured it out, just looked through the history books, and saw that Su Dongpo was framed and demoted to Jiangzhou, he once said such a sentence: 'People can't be ninjas, and when the husband sees humiliation, he draws his sword and stands up and fights, which is not enough to be brave." There are great brave people in the world, who come suddenly without being surprised, and without being angry for no reason. The people who hold it hostage are very great, and so are its ambitions.'" The Dongpo layman was framed and demoted, but he was still able to endure and wait for the opportunity to make a comeback. I should also follow the example of the Dongpo monks now, I must live well in the cold palace, otherwise it will not weigh the thoughts of those who have harmed me, I believe that one day I will clear my grievances and see the light of day again. ”
Murong Yu said coldly: "It's best for Jieyu to have this heart, and I also hope that Jieyu will get out of the cold palace as soon as possible." Then he said: "There is one more thing, I wonder if Jieyu has heard about it?" ”
Zhaoyun asked, "What did the third prince say?" ”
Murong Yuhan wanted to speak and stopped, and said for a while: "The Turks are attacking, my father has already asked your father and your brother to set off with a whole army, and when the court is employing people, I think that my father will definitely take care of you, and your life will be much better in the future." It's just one thing, the Turks have always been savage, and they have been in the cold for a long time, but they are afraid that the soldiers and horses will be strong, and this time it will be a tough battle. Fortunately, your father has been fighting in the north and south for many years, so he will be fine, and you don't have to worry too much. ”
Having said that, when Zhaoyun heard these words, he couldn't help but feel worried on his face, sighed lamentingly, and said: "In recent years, there has always been peace inside and outside the court, once there is a war, there will definitely be dead and wounded. I'd rather my father do nothing and be idle every day, than have any more wars in the world and ruin lives. ”
Murong Yuhan sighed secretly in his heart: She is really a virtuous woman with the righteousness of her family and country, but unfortunately she entered the palace and became the concubine of her father and the emperor, and was framed and beaten into the cold palace.
Thinking of this, Murong Yuhan comforted: "Jieyu doesn't have to be sad, I think that General Xia will be able to return victoriously, and please be kind to Jieyu, I will definitely save Jieyu as soon as possible." ”
"Master, where are you going at such a late hour?" Zixuan walked out of the room lightly, but he didn't want Princess Bingning to block his way at the palace gate.
Zixuan had to stop, raised his eyes to Shang Bingning's questioning gaze, and said: "The night is just right, and it is boring in the house, Weichen wants to go out and take a walk." ”
Bing Ning sighed and chuckled: "Master is bored too many times, and he has to go out at night every once in a while, in my palace, does it really make Master so bored?" ”
When Zi Xuan heard this, he hurriedly said: "No, it's really ......" For a while, Zi Xuan didn't know how to phrase it.
Bing Ning looked at Zixuan's panicked appearance, and thought of what Liushuang reported to herself, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "You are also reluctant to enter the palace, if it weren't for her, you wouldn't have entered the palace, since you already have someone else in your heart, but I am self-inflicted." ”
Zi Xuan was shocked in his heart, could it be that Bing Ning had already known about himself and Zhaoyun, and was worried about himself, but he heard Bing Ning say: "There are many people in the palace, even if you are careful, your whereabouts will inevitably not be unintentionally bumped into by others, if others have a heart, not only will you not be able to save her, but you are afraid that you will have to take your own life, this place in the cold palace, you still don't go again in the future." ”
Zixuan listened to Bing Ning's words, knowing that Bing Ning already knew everything about it, but he still couldn't help blurting out: "The princess knows everything?" ”
Bing Ning looked directly at Zixuan, and suddenly felt a pain in his heart, the person who accompanies him to play sword and practice martial arts every day thought that after being in the palace for a long time, he always has a little feeling, but he doesn't want to start from entering the palace, he is sincere to him, but he has a heart, and he is just a bridge between him and the Xia family.
Thinking of this, Bingning had a trace of sadness on her face, and Qi Qi said: "I naturally know everything, because I know, so sad." Speaking of this, there were tears in the corners of his eyes, and he said: "Zixuan, you are the son of the supervising imperial history, when I ask my father and the emperor, it is not difficult to give you an official position, if you want, I really want to entrust you with a lifetime, if I have anything wrong, I can change it for you, Zixuan, these days, don't you have half feelings for me?" ”
Zixuan took two steps back, and when he heard that Bingning had changed his name, coupled with his sudden confession, he didn't know what to say, so he had to say: "The princess is very loving, and Weichen can't afford it." Since the princess knew about this, Weichen showed the princess that what the princess said was good, and she was the only one in my heart. ”
"But she is already the concubine of her father, and now she is still a concubine, and she is vicious, do you really want to miss your life for her?" Bing Ning's tone of voice was already a little displeased.
Zixuan said loudly: "What kind of person she is, I know it very well in my heart, don't say that she is wronged, even if she really does such a thing, I believe that she has a hard time, for her, I am willing to give up everything, I don't care." ”
Bing Ning raised her eyes to look at Zixuan, and the two looked at each other for a moment, but they didn't say a word. After a long time, Bingning turned around and walked towards the hall.
Cold Palace. When Murong Yuhan left, Zhaoyun's mood was not calm again, he was now in a low status, but he was treated with true affection from two men at the same time. Zixuan needless to say, he grew up with his childhood sweetheart since he was a child, he is also sincerely good to himself, and he has long regarded him as a lifelong lover in his heart, but it is a pity that it is difficult to be together.
But what about Murong Yuhan? I still remember the first time I met him, his bright smile, his jokes, and the scene of enjoying the beautiful paintings with him. In fact, if you think about it carefully, I don't seem to have deliberately come into contact with him, but I just met by chance, appreciating the paintings, and entertaining my temperament, at most, I painted a picture of his and gave it to him, but I didn't expect him to be so concerned about himself. As a prince, he took great risks to help himself, and he was affectionate, and he was not untouched in his heart. It's just that... Forget it, it's useless to think too much, no matter how good others are, it's a pity that your beloved can only be the emperor, and he must be the emperor.
