The Summer Palace is on the southeast side near the palace garden, and it is a small palace, much smaller than the Weiyang Palace, but it is exquisite. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Jiang Mizhu is the main hall of the Summer Palace, and there is a courtyard in front of the palace. There are a few beauty trees planted in the courtyard, the beauty tree was originally born in the south, I heard that it is the favorite concubine of the Holy Ancestor, so it transplanted a few plants from the south in the Summer Palace, decades have passed, under the care of a special person, it is still lush. Because it has just passed the flowering period, it is a pity that I can't see the beauty of a tree.

Su Dai walked slowly on the green bricks, and the tip of his nose sniffed the bursts of fragrant fragrance from the palace garden, and the rich fragrance made people feel happy. Passing through the courtyard overflowing with flowers, you will arrive at the main hall of the Summer Palace, there are several pots of cyclamen in front of the palace, it is in the flowering period, the flowers are blooming, and the clusters of water red are dotted among the verdant branches and leaves, like a butterfly that is about to fly, adding some vitality to this early spring.

Seeing Su Dai staring at the blooming cyclamen, Lai Er pursed her lips and smiled: "These pots of cyclamen are still sent from the house, Niang Niang pity the flowering period, selfishly thought, if you can keep this scenery for a longer time, it would be good, and then the grandmother of the palace garden told Niang Niang that if you want to keep the flowering period, you only need to put the cyclamen outside to freeze it." ”

Su Dai bowed slightly, this cyclamen is really interesting, and it only takes a freeze to extend the flowering period.

Jiang Mi in the house heard the sound from outside, and hurriedly walked out of the hall gate, "Dai'er is coming." ”

After entering the house, Jiang Miping withdrew all the palace people who were waiting, and only after closing the door of the palace did he whisper: "Looking for you today, the main reason is that I think there is something strange that I want to discuss with you." ”

"What happened?" Su Dai looked at Jiang Mi's slightly worried face and couldn't help asking.

"A few days ago, my brother sent someone to bring a few pots of cyclamen, and it didn't hurt. But before the person who came, quietly stuffed me with a note, you see. Jiang Mi's voice was very low, and he took out a small note from his sleeve and handed it to Su Dai.

Su Dai took the note, and saw a few lines of small characters written on it, to the effect that about Jiang Yi must be told to her in person, and ask her to meet seven days later behind the third rockery behind the Jifu Gate in the palace garden.

"Who is Jiang Yi?"

Jiang Mi sighed lightly, and a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes: "I don't know if you know that Concubine Zhen and Hui Zhaoyi were executed after the first queen had a difficult birth?" ”

Su Dai was slightly stunned, as if he had heard Luo Zhi talk about it, and before she could speak, she only listened to Jiang Mi continue quietly: "Hui Zhaoyi is my sister Jiang Yi, when she was in the boudoir, she and Concubine Ning, and Concubine Zhuang were handkerchiefs, and the relationship was very close. ”

Jiang Mi was talking about old things, but Su Dai listened worriedly, it turned out that Concubine Ning and Concubine Zhuang used to be very good handkerchiefs, but now they are strangers, Concubine Zhuang doesn't even want to look at Concubine Ning, and Jiang Mi's sister Hui Zhaoyi has already died and her soul has returned to Huangquan.

"When my sister entered the palace, she was the most favored of those show girls, and her position was promoted to the third level in two months, and then after she became pregnant with the imperial heir, she was promoted to Zhaoyi, but for some reason, my sister had an accidental miscarriage, the child was gone, and my sister's body was also greatly damaged, and it was difficult to have an heir." Jiang Mi whispered about her sister, "Later, the first queen had a difficult birth, and after giving birth to Emperor Runing desperately, His Majesty was furious and ordered a thorough investigation, but it was found on the bodies of my sister and Concubine Zhen......"

Later, Su Dai also heard about it, Concubine Zhen and Hui Zhaoyi were executed, and Rong Bingye was never crowned queen again.

"The first queen's difficult birth was an accident?" She seems to have heard Luo Zhi talk about it, but she doesn't know what Luo Zhi said, she only knows a rough idea now.

Jiang Mi chuckled, and the sarcasm in her eyes was fully revealed: "It's an accident, but it must not be my sister and Concubine Zhen's doing, Concubine Ning is ruthless, who else can she be?" But in the past few years since I entered the palace, I couldn't find out what happened to my sister back then, and it was all by word of mouth, so I knew the general idea. ”

Su Dai was still puzzled, gently stroked the jade on the armor, and finally asked: "First queen, what kind of person is it?" Why didn't His Majesty seal the queen except her? ”

"When His Majesty was still the King of Jin, he competed with King Mu for the crown prince, and the mother of the first queen gave great support. Later, His Majesty ascended the throne, naturally more important to the first queen's mother's family, but the queen mother was not satisfied, and recommended a few people from her mother's family to let His Majesty be knighted, but the queen mother recommended several nephews and grandchildren are all gentlemen, His Majesty pushed back, and soon, His Majesty and the first queen's mother family implemented the abolition of the hereditary system of official positions, weakening the interests of the old school nobles, so it angered the queen mother, the queen mother and the courtiers to sanction Your Majesty's real power, the new emperor ascended the throne, but there was no power, all the courtiers seemed to bow down, but they all obeyed the orders of the queen mother, and it was also at that time, Only the first queen's mother's family supports His Majesty, and if there is a problem with His Majesty's order, it is impossible for the Queen Mother to hold His Majesty accountable, and it is the queen's mother's family who bears the brunt. ”

It turns out that the former queen who supported Rong Bingye with all his strength when he was young is not the person who lives in his heart, but the person he will never forget in his life, and he is an irreplaceable person.

Later, the case of the first queen's father and brother was found to be greedy, and the queen mother ordered to raid the first queen's mother's house. However, after the death of the first queen, the midwife testified that it was Concubine Zhen and her sister who murdered the first queen. Jiang Mi suddenly became emotional as she spoke, trembling all over.

She calmed down her emotions, picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip and said slowly: "Later, Your Majesty's centralization of power was grasped step by step, and in the fifth year of Wude, Your Majesty ordered a thorough investigation of the case of the former queen's father and brother who embezzled ink, and rehabilitated the former queen's mother's family. ”

After Jiang Mi finished speaking, Su Dai fell into silence, she never knew that there was such a dusty history, the first queen Ji Qiu was also incomparable to any woman in the glass palace, even if she died, in Rong Bingye's heart, only Ji Qiu was his queen, and his queen could only be Ji Qiuyi, but Ji Qiuyi's death was more like a constant reminder of his powerlessness when he first ascended the throne, so no one dared to mention Ji Qiuyi or Li Hou in front of him.

Su Dai suddenly remembered the words of Luo Zhi before, "I heard that some courtiers wanted to support the virtuous concubine as the queen at that time, His Majesty was angry and ordered them to kneel in front of the Qingxin Palace for three days and three nights, and the virtuous concubine was also snubbed for a long time, so long that no one dared to mention the matter of the queen, so the rear position has been vacant." She thought, it was at that time that Concubine Xian completely understood, she could never be crowned, because the living can never compete for a dead person. Thinking of this, the corners of Su Dai's lips couldn't help but pull out a bitter smile, and she also understood, he could make her a concubine, a nickname, and even a single pet in the pepper room, but he couldn't make her the queen after all.

Ji Qiu is also like the sun hanging high, which makes all the women in the glass palace envious, but the blazing sun also hinders their way to the top. (To be continued.) )
