Bao'er rested for a few months, and her body gradually recovered, but her whole left leg, no matter how she insisted on walking on the ground, she still couldn't stop the slow withering. Bao'er is strong, and she has never had any resentment in front of outsiders, but I saw her crying silently in the room late at night. I was also very sad in my heart, and I hated Xu Yunhua even more, so I couldn't bear to see Zhu Di more and more.

In the blink of an eye, the news came from Sanbao that he would not return to Beijing and go directly to Hainan to go to sea. In this way, Bao'er lives in the palace and has no worries.

Laba is coming, and the palace has always been lively in previous years, but this year, the queen is grounded, and I can't go out, so there is no New Year's flavor at all.

On the day of Laba, Li Xing came in person and sent a basket of Laba porridge over, I asked Zhu'er to take it, but I didn't expect Zhu'er to come back and reply, saying that Li Xing did not want to leave, saying that he had something to say and wanted to see me in person. 、

I frowned, "Lianyi Palace has not seen guests for a few months, he is an old man in the palace, he should know that I am not seen, you just go and tell him." ”

Zhu'er replied, "Can the slave still have this bit of eyesight, I told him early in the morning that my mother is gone, but Li Xing's father-in-law seems to have something to do today, and he didn't want to leave after standing under the porch for a long time, saying that he must ask to see his mother." ”

I sighed, the New Year was coming, and it seemed that I really couldn't hide from it, "You call him in." ”

Zhu'er glanced at me, as if she was a little incredulous, "Niangniang really wants to see me?" ”

"It's not a way to see it, sooner or later."

After a while, Li Xing had already walked in, he was still the same as before, but he looked more and more energetic, when he saw me, he knelt on the ground with a smile and saluted, "Niang Niang Wan'an!" I haven't seen her for a long time, and the mother looks like she has cleared up again. ”

I nodded slightly, "Father-in-law Li, please get up, listen to my girl, my father-in-law insists on seeing me, I don't know what's going on?" ”

Li Xing stood up, threw the dust on his sleeve, and his face was slightly embarrassed, "This is ...... Well, it's a long story......"

"The emperor ordered you to come." I asked, expressionless.

Li Xing shook his head, "Niangniang misunderstood, this is the slave who is in charge of his own affairs, and he wants to come to see Niangniang." ”

"Oh?"

"Niangniang, forgive the slave for being troublesome, the slave has seen you and the emperor have been in trouble for many days, and I want to persuade you to make peace. It's going to be the end of the year, this year the queen is afraid that she won't be able to come out, in this harem, there is always a head of the phoenix, the slave guesses the emperor's meaning, the emperor must want the mother to stand up and be the head of the phoenix, but the mother has been closed and does not see the emperor, the emperor is also close to the hometown, dare not come. Li Xing's expression was extremely complimentary, and he lowered his head and said.

I couldn't help but sneer twice, "Persuasion? Discords? Did the emperor tell you that I was in trouble with him, or did you say it yourself? ”

Li Xing saw that I was displeased, so he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Niangniang, don't blame the emperor, it's all just a little idea of a minion." ”

"Father-in-law Li is a talent, I want to ask Father-in-law Li, I lost my child, and I continue to watch the enemy continue to be in the high hall, how can I face the emperor and everyone? If I answer your words today, the scenery comes back, I wear red and green to take charge of the harem every day, look at the prosperity in front of me, and continue to be favored by the emperor, how can I face my princess who died without even speaking?! ”

I said excited, my body trembled a little, the whole right hand gradually did not obey the call, I put my right hand into the sleeve, that hand still kept trembling---- this is after the crescent moon left, I stood under the window for several days and nights after crying, and the sequelae left, except for Bao'er Zhu'er, others did not know.

Li Xing saw that I was angry, and knew that he had hit a big nail, but he was as sleek and sophisticated as him, and he was not afraid of this embarrassment, he smiled, "Niangniang's heart hurts, and the slave also understands, and the slave thinks, the emperor must also understand Niangniang's suffering, so he is more and more reluctant to face it." But Niangniang, I am afraid you don't know how important you are in the emperor's heart, since returning to the palace with a series of things, the emperor has not summoned any concubines, and he is obsessed with government politics every day, and even took out many old cases to deal with, and the slave understands in his heart that the emperor wants to make himself unable to stop, so as not to think about those sad things. ”

I didn't want to listen to these words anymore, so I quickly interrupted Li Xing's words, "I've been sitting for so long, I'm tired, you go down, and pay more attention to the emperor's daily life." ”

Li Xing sighed, and finally left without saying anything.

Looking at his back, I didn't leave the chair, my right hand hidden in my sleeve was still shaking, and gradually even my body trembled. Outside the door, Zhu'er helped Bao'er walk in, I quickly turned around, took out a handkerchief in a panic with trembling hands, wiped away the tears on my face, and then turned around, got up to meet her, and helped Zhu'er to hold Bao'er together, at the beginning when I helped take care of her so much, Bao'er was still very unaccustomed to it, always refused, now everyone is used to it, and there is no stubbornness, Bao'er twisted her head and looked out, turned her head to me and asked, "What did Li Xinglai say to Niangniang?" ”

I shook my head, "It's nothing, it's very cool today, why did you fall up?" However, there is a ready-made Laba porridge that you can drink in a bowl to warm up. ”

Bao'er was helped to a chair and sat down, stared at the box of laba porridge twice, and felt a little touched, "Niangniang, you have avoided the emperor for a few months, and this is about to come to the end of the year, is it ......?"

"You all know everything from beginning to end, and you know why I'm so discouraged, if others have persuaded me, you don't need to persuade me anymore."

Bao'er Zhu'er glanced at each other, and they didn't speak anymore, everyone took out the laba porridge, divided it in a small bowl, and drank it with a bowl for each person, although the laba porridge was sweet, but the more I ate in my heart, the more bitter it became, I drank two sips, and then put it down.

This year's Spring Festival, it passed in such a hurry, Zhu Di did not summon me again, and even Li Xing did not set foot in the Lotus Yi Palace again, time flickered, and in midsummer, I heard in a trance that Zhu Di somehow actually favored Lu Yunyi.

Hearing this news, I was also a little surprised, Zhu Di has always had no interest in Lu Yunyi, because she was deliberately pushed in front of him because Xu Yunhua wanted to compete for favor, he can be said to be disgusted with Lu Yunyi, he has not been close to the concubine for more than half a year, and he has unprovoked the most unpopular Jieyu in the past, which is really unpredictable.

When Zhu'er and I talked about this, her face was full of disdain, and of course she also revealed some worries, "That Lu Jieyu, a demon, although she pretends to be weak, but how uncomfortable she looks at, she always feels that she is hiding a knife in her cotton." Also, she is very likely to be the one who overthrew Niangniang, even if Niangniang now takes the initiative to alienate the emperor, the emperor ...... Whoever the emperor favors, he can't spoil her!"

Bao'er glanced at me, and when she saw that I didn't speak, she gave Zhu'er a look, and Zhu'er was interested, and hurriedly said, "I just asked the small kitchen to make rock sugar mung bean soup, which should be fine, bring it to everyone to cool off." With that, he ran away.

"Niangniang......" Bao'er can now walk on her own with a cane, and she stood next to me, seeing that I had not spoken, her face full of worry.

Since the death of Yue'er, it is basically difficult for me to smile, only when I faced Bao'er, I pity her for losing a leg, and I can no longer be cold to her, so I looked back and smiled, "What's wrong?" ”

Bao'er also smiled reluctantly, "The emperor favors Lu Jieyu, presumably the queen mother tried her best to push Lu Jieyu to the emperor." Although the queen has always been imprisoned, she is still the queen after all, and she still has power. ”

I pretended not to care, "I don't care about these things for a long time, whether Lu Jieyu is favored by the emperor himself, or whether the queen pushes her to the emperor, what does it have to do with me?" ”

Bao'er sighed, "Niangniang, why do you bother to draw yourself as a prison like this?" The emperor already loves you, for the sake of the princess, he imprisoned the queen's mother, as long as you don't refuse him like this, presumably the grace is better than in the past, and now ...... A Lu Jieyu pops up, and the queen is expected to turn over, you ...... Aren't you hurting yourself? ”

I looked at Bao'er, and finally couldn't laugh, "Bao'er, there are so many people, I thought you were the only one who knew my heart best." You know best how I gave birth to the crescent moon. You know, I can't have any more children. You yourself are a poor person, don't you know that this only child who belongs to me in this life has been lost by me, and my heart is sad? ”

Bao'er's eyes were red, "Princess...... I'm also the one who lost the princess. ”

I held Bao'er's hand, "Don't talk about this, you and Sanbao's adopted son will be filial to you in the future." ”

Bao'er wiped her eyes and squeezed out a smile, "After all, I didn't raise it by myself, and I always felt that I was not as kind as the princess." ”

"If you think so, that's wrong." I said to Boa.

Bao'er let out a long sigh, "The princess has a spirit in the sky, and she must not want to see her mother so depressed." ”

I tilted my head against the railing, looking fixedly at the sky outside the house, as if there was a crescent moon there, "She is so small, I am afraid that there is really a spirit in the sky, and even my mother is depressed, and I don't understand it." ”

Since this day, Lu Yunyi's grace is better than a day, even when I first entered the palace, Zhu Di was hindered by the unstable situation, and he had to deal with the concubines who came from many families, and he had to take into account Xu Yunhua's feelings. Now that the country has become a trend, there is no emperor and queen mother, and there is no important minister who covers the sky with one hand, Zhu Di can be said to be the only master of the Ming Dynasty, if he wants, he can do whatever he wants. As for Lu Yunyi, he did whatever he wanted, almost spoiling her to the sky.

However, in January, Lu Yunyi was directly named Lu Concubine by Jieyu, and half a year later, another Spring Festival, Lu Yunyi was directly in the position of concubine, and Zhu Di specially repaired Weiyang Palace for her and gave her the lord of a palace. The humiliation and guidance that Lu Yunyi suffered in the past few years were all earned back at this time. <
