Chapter 44: The Banquet of Hongju
Zijin knew that Rong Li was not a reckless person, he acted calmly and calmly before thinking about it, and he didn't need others to worry about it at all, but Zijin was still a little uneasy in his heart. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Wuxian walked in from outside the door and hugged his fists and said: "Young master, the eunuch in the palace has issued a decree, and His Majesty has announced that you will enter the palace." ”
"I see." Rong Li looked at Zijin who was full of worry on the other side and smiled lightly, as if he didn't care, "County Lord, let's go." ”
Zijin nodded, got up, followed Rong Li, and walked outside Rong Mansion. All the way, she kept her head down and kept silently thinking in her heart, slower, slower. If she could, she hoped that the road would never end, never end.
It's just that no matter how long the road is, there will be a day when it will be finished, and no matter how many words there are, there will always be a time when they will be spoken, and this is a fact that no one can change.
Rong Li stopped and turned around to see Zijin with his head hanging behind him, and there was a hint of a smile in his eyes, it was good that someone would worry about him, even if maybe the purpose was not so pure, but at least there was.
Rong Li walked over Zijin raised his head and looked into his eyes, Rong Li raised his hand and stroked her sideburns and said slowly: "Don't worry, it'll be fine, believe me." ”
Believe him, from the past to the present, the most he has said to Zijin is to ask her to believe him.
Zijin nodded and smiled in response.
She believed in him!
Watching Rong Li's carriage gradually move away, Zijin took a deep breath to make himself less worried.
"County Lord."
When Zijin heard the sound and saw that it was Yan Shu, he couldn't help but wonder. Yan Shu stepped forward and knelt down and hugged his fists and said, "The queen of the palace invites the county lord to enter the palace to appreciate the chrysanthemums." ”
*********************
"The chrysanthemums in this hundred gardens are different from other places, what do you say, Concubine Jing?" A gorgeously dressed woman asked, looking at another woman with elegant makeup behind her.
When the woman heard this, she bowed humbly, "What the noble concubine said is very true. ”
"Yes, this flower and a woman are all in common, and the environment in which they are born is different, and the quality of the flowers is naturally different."
As she spoke, the gorgeously dressed woman plucked the most delicate flower from the flower garden, looked at it and said, "Just like the same palace chief, there is no possibility of comparing the noble flowers in these hundred gardens with those nameless little flowers." She turned to look at Concubine Jing behind her. This palace is in a good mood today, and this flower will be rewarded to my sister. ”
"Thank you, sister, for the reward." Concubine Jing bowed and reached out to take it.
As soon as the gorgeously dressed woman's hand was released, the chrysanthemum fell to the ground, a very mocking smile appeared on her face, and she looked at Concubine Jing condescendingly, "Oh, why is my sister so careless, what a pity that such a good flower fell to the ground." ”
"I didn't expect to meet you on the road."
Jin Su and Zijin walked side by side, Zijin smiled and said, "I couldn't talk to you last time, can everything go well in this palace?" ”
Jin Su shook his head, "Where does it come from in this harem, if you are free in the future, you can come to the palace to accompany me more?" ”
"Yes, you are now a lady of Shuyuan, and you will naturally receive your life."
Jin Su smiled, "Don't make fun of me anymore." ”
"Look."
Zijin raised his finger and pointed to the two women not far in front of him. Jin Su looked in the direction she was pointing, but saw the two concubines standing and the other half-kneeling. The standing concubine moved her feet away, only to see a shapeless black mud on the ground, she smiled contemptuously, stroked the golden step on her head with her hand, and ordered the half-kneeling concubine to pick up the shapeless black mud with her hands.
"Who's that guy?"
"That arrogant and domineering woman is Concubine Xiao, and the other is Concubine Jing."
Xiao Guifei Lanling Xiao's eldest daughter, because she gave birth to the little prince Gongsun Jin, relied on the emperor's favor to make waves in the palace all the year round, and the queen's kindness passed most of the time with one eye turned a blind eye.
Concubine Jing's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she reached out to pick up the flower mud on the ground.
"Wait."
Zijin walked over to look at Concubine Jing who was half-kneeling on the ground, and then walked to the flower garden to pick a chrysanthemum, "Concubine Xiao loves chrysanthemums so much, of course your noble status is such a flower that is worthy of yours, and the flower mud is really difficult to see." ”
Zijin smiled and handed the flower to Concubine Xiao. To pick up or not to answer, Xiao Guifei reached out and took the yellow chrysanthemum, the originally delicate and beautiful flowers now look extremely dazzling.
Jin Su walked over and helped Concubine Jing up, saluted Xiao Guifei, and then turned around and walked towards other places, Xiao Guifei looked at the backs of the three people in front of her, pinched the flowers in her hands repeatedly, and the petals fell one by one.
Everyone admired the chrysanthemum for a moment, and the magnificent princess helped the queen to come slowly, and everyone knelt down and saluted.
"Get up, don't be formal."
"Empress Xie."
After getting up, Zijin raised his eyes to look at the queen, because the person who spoke just now was not the queen but Rosewood. Zijin knew that the queen was seriously ill, but he didn't expect it to be so serious.
The queen raised her hand and motioned for Rosewood to speak again: "Today's queen mother's banquet is intended to appreciate chrysanthemums and calm your mind, you don't have to be formal. ”
Chrysanthemum or people.
Although the queen is virtuous, but after all, she is the master of the harem, and now she is sick, she should want to clear the obstacles for the prince, although the prince is not her own but was raised by her, even if she dies soon, but there is still the Wang family, the prince married Su He, and the two families of Su Wang are considered to be married, and the prince will have a greater guarantee when he ascends the throne in the future.
Zijin's eyes turned to Su He, who was beside the queen, she was still so pitiful, but she was no longer the Su He she once knew, she was the future crown princess.
The old-fashioned drama of sisters turning against each other will still be staged on her.
Zijin looked at it while walking, although these chrysanthemums were beautiful, they shook her headache.
"Zijin."
A familiar voice sounded, and she didn't have to look back to know who it was.
Zijin turned around, still with a rude smile on his face, and saluted slightly, "I've seen the crown princess." ”
Su He said with tears in his eyes: "Zijin, do you really want to be like me?" What I told you at the time ......"
"The crown princess." Before Su He finished speaking, Zijin preemptively cut off her words, Zijin blinked and smiled, "I'm tired, if the princess just wants to catch up, let's change the day." ”
After saying that, Zijin was about to turn around and leave, but Su He hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed her arm, "County Lord, you listen to my explanation." ”
"There's nothing to say, I'm not interested."
Zijin pulled Su He's hand with her hand, opened it, and turned around, but saw Su He suddenly fall to the ground, tears in her eyes, biting her lip flap lightly, as if she was enduring great pain.
How so.
"He'er." The crown prince ran from a distance to help Su He, and Gongsun Ling and Rong En followed behind him, and both of them ran to Zijin's side.
"Zijin is fine." Gongsun Ling put his hands on Zijin's shoulders and turned her body over, up and down a lot, and was relieved to see that she was not injured.
Su He's face became paler and paler while lying in the prince's arms. Suddenly, someone shouted, "Blood, the crown princess has had a miscarriage." ”
Zijin watched the crowd make a mess steadily, and the prince shouted like crazy to call for someone to call for the imperial doctor.
"Zijin, Zijin."
Gongsun Ling's voice echoed in his ears over and over again, but he couldn't hear it really, Zijin looked at Gongsun Ling with a helpless look, and his voice was suppressed, "I don't, it's not me." ”
"I know, I know." Gongsun Ling held Zijin tightly in his arms, looking at her now, his heart seemed to be cut by a knife, and he blamed him for failing to protect her.
