In the Jinghong Palace, the bamboo curtain of Xiangfei isolated the annoying heat outside, the cloisonné urn was enshrined with ice, and the coldness permeated the entire room. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

On one side of the screen, is a mahogany case, on the top of the head for a benevolent eyebrows and good eyes Guanyin Bodhisattva, eyebrows such as a small moon, eyes like double stars, jade face is born happy, red lips a little red, holding a nectar net bottle, obliquely inserted verdant willow branches, on both sides is a pair of couplets, "a thousand places pray for a thousand places, the bitter sea often do the boat of people", in front of the case is a purple gold incense burner, carved with lotus flowers.

The room is quiet, but it is no different from the scenery of the past.

In the twilight of the year, he lifted the bamboo curtain of Xiangfei and hurriedly walked into the hall, and saw a woman in a jade hairpin skirt kneeling on the futon in front of Guanyin Bodhisattva.

The virtuous concubine silently recited the Buddhist scriptures in her mouth, and gently put the hand-copied scriptures of the past few days into the charcoal basin, and suddenly a cluster of flames ignited, swallowing the entire scripture.

Seeing this, the twilight of the year hurriedly stepped forward to hand over the incense candles, and the virtuous concubine took the incense and inserted it into the purple gold incense burner, clasped her hands together, and silently recited "Great Compassion, Inspiration Guanyin for Saving Suffering".

After a set of rituals to worship the Buddha and chant sutras, the virtuous concubine slowly walked to the side of the Luohan bed and sat down with her twilight hand.

"Grandpa Guo has gone back." Twilight picked up the teacup on the table, poured a cup of tea and handed it to her, and said softly.

Concubine Xian closed her eyes slightly, and said unhurriedly: "But it didn't work? ”

Twilight bit his lip, and finally nodded, "I'll go back with my brows locked." ”

The corners of Concubine Xiangui's lips gradually pulled up a hint of mockery, and she said lazily: "Father is still in a hurry." ”

"These days, the entire Yuhuatai is not peaceful, and there are already many people in the sixth bureau who have looked for slaves." Twilight frowned lightly and said with some concern.

Concubine Xian opened her eyes slightly, a trace of fierceness flashed at the bottom of her eyes, she picked up the tea cup on the table and took a sip lightly, before she said slowly: "Don't worry, and let them jump up and down for a while, this palace also takes this opportunity to recognize them well, and in a few days, it will be time for this palace to clean them up." ”

After a pause, he put down the tea cup in his hand and looked at the twilight years, "In the next few days, you have to keep an eye on the palace." "Who are the people who are the most powerful when they see her lose power!

"Yes, slaves and maids must be careful." Twilight said in a low voice.

Concubine Xian nodded, then closed her eyes again, and said slowly: "Huai'er, there must be no mistakes." ”

"Don't worry, the slave maid has already been taken care of earlier." In the twilight years, he squatted down and raised his hand to gently beat the legs of the virtuous concubine.

Ming Youlan, Ming Youlan, this time it was indeed my negligence, but you succeeded, don't worry, let's come to a long time. A chuckle condensed at the corner of the noble concubine's lips, and the hall was suddenly quiet, and after a while, I heard the ice in the cloisonne urn shatter and hit the urn wall with a "jingling" sound.

Twilight raised his eyes and looked at the virtuous concubine who closed her eyes lightly, and then lowered her head without saying anything.

Concubine Xian still closed her eyes and chuckled: "Just have something to say." ”

"Why isn't Niangniang in a hurry at all? When Grandpa Guo left, he also asked the slave maid, what is the matter? The slave thought about what the mother had instructed, so she didn't say it, but only said that the mother made him feel relieved. "But in addition to the Jinghong Hall itself, the entire Yuhuatai and even the distant Lijing have long been in chaos, and some people are already speculating whether this is a precursor to the loss of power of the virtuous concubine, and what Your Majesty will clean up next is the Guogong Mansion.

When everyone is in danger, they are afraid of standing on the wrong team, but Niangniang still burns incense and worships Buddha every day, and she doesn't care much about external trends, and she doesn't even get annoyed for half a point, even though she has been with Niangniang for more than 20 years, she still can't understand what Niangniang thinks.

Concubine Xian slowly opened her eyes, raised her hand and gently stroked her twilight hair, and chuckled: "This matter is not in a hurry to have a turnaround, this time it is indeed the negligence of the palace and her way." ”

After a pause, he said, "Why do you want to tell your father about this, do you want him to join the Marquis of Zhongyong?" The things in the deep palace, even if they are related to the previous dynasty, but there are some things that the former dynasty can only watch after all, and they can't help anything. "Especially Ming Youlan's mother's family is on par with her.

"Even though Niangniang is still in power now, but she is under house arrest and can't get out of half a step, what's the use of this phoenix seal in her hand?" Twilight frowned and said, "Moreover, after a long time, Concubine Ning and Concubine Yi will definitely take this opportunity to cultivate their own power, even if Niangniang turns over at that time, but the palace has already divided the world in two, so how can Niangniang have a place to stay?" ”

Concubine Xian smiled slightly, a glimmer of light flashed in her eyes, she slowly raised her hand, and in her twilight years, she hurriedly stepped forward to help her up.

"Don't worry, Ming Youlan wants to play, and this palace naturally wants to have a good time with her." The virtuous concubine walked to the side of the case, raised her hand lightly, and gently straightened the peony in the frozen green glazed amphora, "It's just that this time is the last time." ”

She looked at the peony in her palm with a little misty, her fingers suddenly tightened, and a blooming peony withered in her palm, and the bright red flower juice slowly flowed down the lines of her palm, dyeing her white fingers red.

She's been fighting with Ming Youlan for too long, and it's time to end the fight.

As for Concubine Yi, she didn't care about it yet. It's just a little girl, even if she doesn't have her original intention to His Majesty, she can't pose a threat to her.

Thinking of this, the virtuous concubine took the handkerchief in her twilight hand, slowly wiped the remaining flower juice in her palm, and said unhurriedly: "Go and ask someone to tell my father, don't act rashly these days, if you can, you can recuperate in the house, and if you can, don't see other people." ”

In the twilight of his life, he was stunned, although he had doubts, but finally agreed without objection: "Yes, the slave will do it immediately." ”

The moonlight gradually shrouded the entire Yuhuatai, the palace gradually quieted down, the summer breeze gently swept through the treetops, only the rustling sound was heard, and the occasional cricket and frog chirping carried through the grass, so it was the scene of the summer night.

Huayin Hall ushered in the holy car, Concubine Ning looked at Rong Bingye who was playing with Rong Xi with a smile, and said softly: "Xi'er has written a few big characters recently, and the concubine looks at it well, but she thinks that the concubine is only afraid that she is still stupid, and she thinks that letting His Majesty give her some guidance can also make her grow." ”

Rong Bingye nodded with a smile and said to Emperor Jiayang: "Where is the writing?" ”

Emperor Jiayang happily took a few large characters from the hands of the grandmother on the side and spread them on the table, "Father, look at it, how is Xi'er written?" ”

Rong Bingye looked at it for a while, and said with a smile: "Xi'er's handwriting is getting better and better, and my father looks better than your mother's." ”

Emperor Jiayang happily hugged his neck and said with a smile: "Erchen knows that his father will praise Erchen." ”

Rong Bingye looked at her with a smile, his eyes full of doting.

"It's just that the word 'tang' in this 'begonia' is a little weak, I'm here to teach you."

When Wei Yang heard this, he hurriedly stepped forward to grind.

Concubine Ning smiled softly: "Xi'er, your father taught you to write, you must learn it seriously, do you know?" ”

"Xi'er will naturally be serious." Emperor Jiayang smiled happily.

Rong Bingye asked Emperor Jiayang to pick up the pen on the table, and gently held Emperor Jiayang's small hand with his big palm, and after a while, a vigorous and powerful word "Tang" swayed out.

"Will? You write another one for your father to see. ”

"Yes." Emperor Jiayang agreed, and then lowered her eyes seriously, and wrote another Tang according to the Tang character written by Fang Cai's father and her hand.

Rong Bingye looked at her newly written words and nodded with satisfaction: "This time the writing is very good." ”

Emperor Jiayang smiled happily. Concubine Ning looked at Emperor Jiayang dotingly, stepped forward to take the pen in her hand, and said softly: "It's not too early, go back to sleep." ”

When Mama took Emperor Jiayang away, Concubine Ning picked up the words she had just written, and said with emotion: "In the blink of an eye, Xi'er is already nine years old. ”

Rong Bingye bowed slightly: "Time flies quickly, don't say it, you have been by my side for more than ten years." ”

"The concubine still remembers the first time I saw His Majesty." Concubine Ning raised her eyes to look at him, her eyes were full of restraints, "Your Majesty thought that the concubine was a little palace maid at that time, and her steps were as light as a feather, so frightened that the concubine almost fell into the lake." ”

Speaking of the past, Rong Bingye's face was also a little soft, he raised his hand and hugged Concubine Ning into his arms, and laughed softly: "Who told you to dress up as a palace maid at that time, you were a child's heart at that time, but now Xian'er is also like you." ”

He and Concubine Ning first met next to the Taiye Pool in the palace garden, and he saw her standing beside the white marble railing from a distance, holding the railing with one hand, and her whole body was on the outside of the railing.

He was afraid of startling her, only when she successfully picked a young lotus, he whispered behind her, but he didn't expect this light call to still scare her, her whole person seemed to be a frightened deer, her fingers slipped, she didn't grasp the white marble railing, she was about to fall into the lake, he was in a hurry, and the arrow stepped forward and firmly grabbed her arm.

Later, he learned that there was such a beautiful woman in the palace, but he didn't know it before.

"The concubine wanted to pick the young lotus at that time, but the identity of the talented person was there after all, and then the concubine thought of such a method." Concubine Ning smiled at the corner of her lips, and raised her eyes gently to stare at his side face, "If it weren't for that, I wouldn't have met Your Majesty." ”

His eyes were full of pampering, he raised his hand and gently scraped her nose, and said softly: "You are the most ghostly." ”

Concubine Ning smiled softly, her eyes were as bright as spring.

"A few days ago, I wronged you and wronged you." Rong Bingye remembered what happened before, and couldn't help but say with guilt.

Concubine Ning looked at him with bare eyes, the tip of her nose was sore, she was silent for a long time, and finally lowered her eyes and shed a tear.

He suddenly panicked in his heart, and reached out to lift her face, "It's not good for me, I misunderstood you and made you suffer such a big grievance, don't cry." ”

Concubine Ning lowered her eyes, tears like pearls with broken threads, sliding down her magnificent face drop by drop, "Your Majesty is very good, Your Majesty has always been very good to your concubines, but your concubines are guilty......" Speaking of this, her voice was full of sobs.

Rong Bingye raised her hand, and her slender fingers gently wiped away the tears on her face, "Who said you were guilty!" I will cure him of his sins. ”

"The concubine is guilty! The concubines have served His Majesty for so many years, but they have never extended the imperial heir for His Majesty, His Majesty still loves the concubines like this, the concubines feel guilty and deeply disturbed, and now His Majesty also let the concubines and Concubine Yi's sister assist in the six palaces, and the concubines are really strange. Concubine Ning's tears kept falling, and the whole person cried with pear blossoms and rain.

Rong Bingye sighed softly, glanced at her long arms, hugged her into his arms, and comforted her softly: "You are thinking nonsense again, who said that you didn't give me the imperial heir, isn't it Xi'er?" I like it like this. ”

"But Xi'er is not a prince after all." As soon as Concubine Ning finished saying this, she felt Rong Bingye's body hugging her for a moment, and she then sobbed: "Your Majesty is kind to the Ming family and the concubine, but the concubine can't give birth to a prince for Your Majesty, let him go and share your Majesty's worries." ”

After a pause, he continued to cry and said: "Every time I see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince being able to share His Majesty's worries in the previous dynasty, the concubines feel deeply uneasy, and they are really ashamed of His Majesty's grace. ”

Rong Bingye sighed, patted her back lightly with his big palm, and said softly, "It's not your fault." ”

Concubine Ning listened to his words and cried even more: "When the concubine gives birth to Xi'er, it will be difficult for His Majesty to extend the heir, this is the most painful place in the concubine's heart, what did the concubine do wrong, God wants to punish the concubine like this, why can the sisters next to her give birth to the imperial heir for His Majesty, but the concubine's well-being is only broken after Xi'er?" ”

"Don't cry, it's not your fault, my prince is already thin......" Rong Bingye lowered her eyes and comforted her softly, but suddenly a thought flashed in her heart.

Seeing that he was suddenly silent, Concubine Ning couldn't help but raise her eyes and ask, "What's wrong with Your Majesty?" ”

Her face was full of tears, and the pear blossoms were like rain, which made him feel pity in his heart.

He couldn't help but tighten his arms, and his eyes were full of tenderness and sweetness: "Youlan, if you are asked to raise the fifth prince, are you willing?" ”

"The Five Princes?" Concubine Ning muttered slightly, "Lingshunyi's child? But wouldn't that be inappropriate? ”

Rong Bingye snorted coldly and said: "What's wrong, the biological mother of the fifth prince has a low status, and she has done such a shady thing, I am afraid that the child born by such a vicious woman is not worthy of you." ”

"Childish witch Gu, even though Ling Shunyi has a vicious mind, the fifth prince is still young and has not been affected by his biological mother." After speaking, Concubine Ning stretched out her hand to hug his waist tightly, and said softly: "As long as it is the heir of His Majesty, no matter who it is, the concubine is willing to treat it as her own." ”

Rong Bingye smiled and touched her long hair: "Then I will make an order tomorrow to let the Zongren Mansion move the jade disc of the five princes into your name, and you will be the mother of the five princes in the future." ”

Concubine Ning smiled softly: "The concubine will definitely take good care of the five princes." After speaking, her tears fell again: "Your Majesty thinks so much about the concubine, and the concubine is really grateful in her heart." ”

He smiled and wiped away her tears: "You just need to take care of the five princes." ”
