Puzhao Temple.

Zhaoyun has been here for several months, during which Zixuan came to see Zhaoyun once and informed him of the news that he was going to marry Bingning, Zhaoyun also blessed him very much, Zixuan saw that Zhaoyun was not sad at all, and left in a bad mood, and has not been here since.

Now the weather is getting warmer and warmer, but it is still a spring unexpectedly steep, warm and cold season, Zhaoyun because of poor maintenance, these days are a little sad, do not think about eating, lie alone in their own house to rest.

Mrs. Jing'an opened the curtain and walked in, put a bowl of porridge and two steamed buns and a stack of side dishes on the table, and called softly: "Jingde, get up, you can eat some food, and you can be refreshed." ”

The temple deacon personally brought food to Zhaoyun, and Zhaoyun couldn't shirk it, so he struggled to get up, glanced at the food on the table, sighed, and said, "I don't know how to have no appetite lately." ”

Master Jing'an persuaded slowly: "You don't have to worry, spring and autumn are sleepy, it is a law of nature, and many people have this condition. ”

Zhaoyun ate a few bites of food, half leaned on the pillow, and seemed to sigh to himself: "The days are still long, you have to stay up slowly." ”

Master Jing'an wanted to speak and stopped, Zhaoyun saw that Mrs. Jing'an seemed to have something to say, so he said: "Mrs. Jing'an has something to say, just say it, I have lived in this temple for a few months, and Mrs. Jing'an doesn't need to see outside." ”

Master Jing'an said slowly: "Amitabha, forgive the poor nun for being blunt, the lady is in her prime, so she really doesn't have to stay here, there are still decades to come, and she will be accompanied by the ancient Buddha with green lanterns every day." It's not what the lady wants. ”

Zhaoyun smiled bitterly: "What Mrs. Shi said is good, I am indeed not the kind of person who sees through the world and can break through the red dust, but I have no other way to think about it, not here, that is, in the inner garden of the deep palace, to put it bluntly, the situation is the same." ”

Master Jing'an shook her head, but there was a smile on her face, and she said slowly: "Lady, poor nun is telling the truth. As long as the lady has a heart. There's nothing that can't be done. Staying here is really wronged by the lady, like the lady is a first-class person, there should always be the best Langjun to cherish, enjoy the life of gold and jade. ”

This is a bit blunt. Zhaoyun is not a fool. The meaning of the words is clear. just pretended not to know, and said lightly: "I am the concubine of the former emperor, and there is no possibility of finding a lover for a long time." Shi is too confused. ”

Jing'an Shitai smiled faintly: "The lady is like a mirror in her heart, and the poor nun is just one more mouth, as long as the saint has this mind today, other people can only listen silently." I heard that the saint will come to the temple on the fifteenth day of the next month, the lady still think about her own future, poor Nike heard, the palace has added a few small masters, the more newcomers, I am afraid that the more unfavorable it will be to the lady, if it drags on further, the saint has no patience today, the lady just doesn't want to live a lifetime in the temple, and it's too late. ”

When Zhaoyun heard this, he was not surprised, Mrs. Jing'an was already an old person, and she saw things naturally and transparently, not to mention, Mrs. Jing'an was not very close to herself, and she would never say these words rashly, someone must be in contact.

Maybe he has a heart, and he is not afraid of rumors, as long as he is with him, he is what Qianfu is referring to, and he doesn't care. Instead of lovesickness, it is better to stay together, and it is time for you to plan for yourself.

Yannian Palace.

The Queen Mother looked at the steward of the respectful room kneeling on the ground, and asked lightly: "Recently, the emperor has stayed in which palace concubines, you can tell me in detail." ”

The steward of the respectful room, Nuo Nuo, said yes, and replied respectfully: "The emperor stays at the most concubines and concubines, and the rest of the concubines are only once or twice a month, and there are two little masters, Lan Concubine and Fang Concubine, since the new little lord entered the palace, it has not been turned over." ”

The Queen Mother waved her hand and said slowly: "I know, you go down." ”

Turning her head to look at Mengxiang, the Queen Mother said leisurely: "It seems that the mourning family mistook the girl from the Cheng family, and thought that the emperor summoned her to the palace, but she was only raised in the palace." But I didn't expect that the emperor valued her so much, and after only three months of entering the palace, she was promoted from the original concubine to the concubine position. ”

Mengxiang persuaded slowly: "The queen mother is too worried, the emperor just likes the free and easy nature of the concubine, and the queen mother also knows that the emperor is the person who pays the most attention to the system, and he will not let a person with such a temperament as the concubine become the queen." It's just that most of the ladies in the palace are very in line with etiquette, and every word and deed is very in line with etiquette, and the emperor is used to seeing such a woman, so he will naturally like a woman who is a little less polite. ”

The Queen Mother sighed, and said: "Let him be, who he likes and who he doesn't like, the mourning family can't interfere very much, but the mourning family thinks that this matter is really strange, Cheng Taiwei is also a civil official, how can he raise such a rude and willful daughter, and she has no talent at all, the more you look at it, the more unpleasant it is, it's just that, as long as there is no big mistake, the mourning family will let him go." ”

Mengxiang handed the Queen Mother a cup of tea and said slowly: "Just now, the steward of the Jingshi room said that Concubine Lan and Concubine Fang have not slept for several months, and the number of times the other concubines have slept is also very few. ”

The Queen Mother took a sip of tea, gently put the teacup on the table, and frowned: "What you said is also true, as his mother-in-law, the mourning family must always think of ways to persuade him." That girl, it's time to teach her some etiquette. Since you have said this, why don't you go to the palace of the concubine now, let her come over, and the mourning family will talk to her. ”

Mengxiang promised to go away.

After a while, Cheng Zhanru came to Yannian Palace, and respectfully saluted the Queen Mother and said goodbye.

The Queen Mother asked Cheng Zhanru to sit down on the chair under her head, and said lightly: "Concubine Ru, you have worked hard to serve the emperor these days, and you are still used to living in the palace." ”

Cheng Zhanru sighed, and said: "What is more interesting in the palace than outside, boring every day, I don't know a few words, and I can't do the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, fortunately, the emperor often comes to accompany me, and I play swords and practice swords, life is a little interesting." ”

After a pause, Cheng Zhanru showed a happy look on his face again, and said with a smile: "A few days ago, I wandered around the palace and found a good place, which was the Zoo of Animals, where there happened to be horses, so I was going to go up and ride horses, but the minions didn't let me do anything, so I beat them, and then rode horses and whips, and played around the Zoo, and I was in a good mood. ”

Mengxiang was really out of character when he heard this, coughed lightly, and reminded: "Concubine Niangniang, you are now talking back to the Queen Mother." ”

Cheng Zhanru looked inexplicable, and said: "That's right, I'm talking back to the Queen Mother, isn't the Queen Mother listening." ”

The Queen Mother coughed, cleared her throat, and said gently: "Concubine Ru, you are innocent and lively, this is a good thing, but the etiquette that should be understood still needs to be understood." The emperor is not the emperor of you alone, but the emperor of the entire harem, you occupy the emperor every day, how to let the emperor rain and dew evenly, how to let other concubines spread out for the royal family. ”

Cheng Zhanru looked aggrieved and defended: "The Queen Mother misunderstood, I didn't hold on to the emperor, it was the emperor who came to pester me every day, and I couldn't beat me away, can you blame me?" If the Queen Mother is free, she also advises the emperor not to come so diligently, tossing and tossing half the night every night, so that I can't sleep well, and I haven't been able to rest for several days. ”

When the Queen Mother heard this, her face changed again and again, and finally she calmed down and said: "The mourning family will persuade the emperor, you should retire first!" (To be continued.) )
