Chapter 16 The Cusp
"I thought she was just a sensible and well-behaved person, and I didn't want to know my duty. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info" Because of the Queen Mother's words, Qingling's life gradually got better.
A patient living in the side hall of the Buddha Hall was not very safe, and was moved to the Yiling Garden in the backyard of Renshou Palace.
Although Yiqin Garden is located in Renshou Palace, it is a small garden with a separate courtyard, there are three main houses in the garden, and there is a peach orchard outside the garden, which is quiet, and the peach trees do not need to be taken care of by the palace people in winter, which is a good place to recuperate.
Qingling lay on the bed and smiled self-deprecatingly. Since entering the palace for more than three months, it seems that it has a special relationship with recuperation, which is nothing more than moving from Fengzao Palace to Renshou Palace, changing places, and the mood is different.
Several times I brushed shoulders with death, several times I was frightened, and every time I woke up from a dream, I was soaked and sweated cold. Life and death are not taken lightly, but when you experience the tribulations of life and death, you will realize how precious it is to be alive.
She couldn't die, the mystery of her grandmother's death. Grandmother has always been in good health, it is impossible for her to die a few days after she gets married, she has to survive and find out the cause of her grandmother's death.
She doesn't want to die, how can she live up to her youth?
But every time she woke up from a nightmare, she would remember the poisonous oath made by Fengzao Palace, why was it him?
When he met Qianlichi, he was cold and arrogant and lonely, and the cold and handsome had already been deeply imprinted in his heart like a knife. met again, and there was a poisonous oath in the middle, and she was as far away as a thousand mountains and rivers from him.
She often stares at her palms in a daze, and the scars on her palms have long healed and have not left any scars, but she often feels that her heart hurts like a knife.
The grace of the imperial concubine's rescue, the grace of taking in, she will not forget, nor will she live up, the only thing that can live up to it is her own heart, she can't wait for herself to die early, so as to get rid of the entanglement of inner pain.
Every time Wanxin comes, she will talk about the emperor.
Concubine Yu is pregnant and graceful, Concubine Yu wants to eat sour plum, where is there bayberry in winter, the emperor can order the guards to find her to eat.
Zhao Meiren's New Year's celebration offered a dance, and the emperor was able to stay in Zhao Meiren's Zhongcui Palace for three consecutive days.
Concubine Xian vomited badly during pregnancy, and the emperor was able to feed her with his mouth.
What's even more bizarre is that a wronged palace queen cried at night, and the emperor happened to bump into it, and he was very fond of it, and he was crowned a beauty after luck.
After listening to all these things, the pain in Qingling's heart gradually faded. Is this the person she fell in love with at first sight? I think that although my eyes are good-looking, my eyes are not very good.
On that day, he mistook a look at Chirichi. Also, how can the emperor, who has countless beauties in the harem, be her beloved, and how can he be an infatuated lover for a lifetime?
On that day, by the pool of Taiye, the affectionate love in his eyes was not for her.
Bandaging her palms that day was nothing more than a whim, after all, she had a charming face, and no matter which man she was, she wanted to kiss Fangze.
Time is a good medicine, Yi Lingxuan's cold and quiet is a good doctor, so all kinds of romances and charms brought to him by Wan Xin are good nourishment.
Three months later, Qingling's eyes and heart were still and there were no waves, she lived a dull day every day, and only walked slowly in the garden, her leg injury was so thorough, and the wound in her heart was healed smoothly and smoothly.
Her only plan is how to get out of the deep palace and find out the cause of her grandmother's death.
It's already spring of the year, and the garden is full of spring light, and the pink peach blossoms seem to be connected to the sky, filling with a lush fragrance.
In the evening of this day, Qingling stood in the sunset, watching the sunset climb down the high wall of the palace little by little, shining into Yiling Garden little by little, and shining on his face little by little.
The door of the small garden opened, and Mama Ji took a few palace maids holding clothes and ornaments into Yiling Garden. In the past, Mama Ji sent some clothes and supplies, but Qingling was used to it, and she didn't feel any difference.
This time, however, it was very different. The birthday of the three flower gods in early March is also the birthday of the queen mother, the queen mother instructed Qingling to bathe and change clothes, and select a bottle of good peach blossoms for the flower god to congratulate the queen mother on her birthday.
Qingling smiled and accepted it happily, under the service of the palace maid, she bathed in incense and changed clothes, changed into the clothes sent by Mama Ji, walked out of the small garden, shuttled between the peach forests, as if she was the flower god who walked out of the flowers, Mama Ji was also stunned.
It turned out that the Queen Mother's birthday had just begun, and a virtuous concubine who was pleasing to Qiaoer found that there were no peach blossoms that the Queen Mother loved, so she proposed to pick some peach blossoms to add color to the Queen Mother's birthday.
The queen mother was very pleased, "The mourning family remembers that there are peach blossoms in the garden of Renshou Palace, and there is no need to bother others, so call the palace daughter Qingling who lives in the garden to pick some to celebrate the birthday of the mourning family!" ”
When Qingling entered, it was the time when the wine was drunk and the love was strong, Qingling was dressed in a pale pink Luo clothes, and the black hair pulled the ordinary flowing cloud bun of a girl from a common person outside the palace, and the rest of the long hair hung down on the waist like ink, and walked over with peach blossoms in his hand, kneeling down in the hall, "The best peach blossoms this year are here, I wish the Queen Mother Songhe a long life and a healthy birthday!" ”
Everyone's eyes looked at the woman in the palace in unison, such a complexion made the peach blossoms lose their color and the harem was gloomy!
In astonishment, the main hall of Renshou Palace was quiet.
"Hahaha, good!" But listening to the emperor's loud laughter, the emperor had already strode down the hall.
Qingling's nose floated through the thick smell of wine, and the vase in his hand changed hands, and at this time it was already in the emperor's hands, and his eyes touched the emperor's cold and slightly playful eyes, Qingling lowered his head suddenly, and the palace maid looked directly at the great sin of the Shengyan family.
The emperor's cold eyes inadvertently swept over Qingling's low-hanging black hair, strode forward, and offered the peach blossoms to the queen mother. Lang Sheng said, "Peach, Shouya; Flowers, love also. I invite peach blossoms to offer birthdays, people are not older than Nanshan Spring! I wish my mother the sun and the moon shine together, and live longer than Nanshan! ”
The Queen Mother was overjoyed, got up and took it, "How can the mourning family be so virtuous, the emperor wishes him so much!" Thank you, Your Majesty! ”
The Queen Mother was pleased to hold up flowers in one hand and the wine bottle in the other, "Give wine." ”
After drinking a cup, the Queen Mother saw that Qingling was still kneeling in the hall, with a loving face, smiling and beckoning, "Come here, don't kneel, stand behind the mourning family and serve." ”
"Yes." Qingling got up obediently, lowered his head and walked over to stand in the shadows behind the Queen Mother.
Concubine Xian originally wanted to please the Queen Mother, who knew that in this episode, a woman with such a stunning face who emerged from the harem, the emperor was young and romantic, and he didn't know how much favor he would share with this woman in the future, he really moved a stone and hit his own feet, the concubines smiled on their faces, and the anger in their eyes shot at Concubine Xian, and they hated to let her go.
Fortunately, the emperor didn't seem to pay attention to this woman, and the concubines secretly rejoiced in their hearts, and their eyes floated with the dark shadow behind the queen mother from time to time.
"Mother, today is a good day for your old man, while the queen mother is happy, I want to ask the queen mother for a love thing, I wonder if the queen mother can cut love?" Everyone just breathed a sigh of relief, but they heard the emperor speak.
The emperor's cold eyes swept endlessly, no one knew what to beg, the emperor's heart was merry, was there anything more outstanding in this hall than the woman just now? The concubines' hearts that had just relaxed were tightened again.
The queen mother calmly looked at the emperor's handsome eyes, she became more and more unpredictable about the emperor's heart, and said leisurely, "The emperor just said it." ”
Qingling thought of the emperor's whim, the affair of the palace maid, and his heart fluttered, and he couldn't help but take a step back, completely hiding his figure in the shadow that the candlelight could not shine. People are in the shadows, but they don't know how many jealous eyes from concubines.
"Queen Mother, I want to ask for a bouquet of peach blossoms." The corners of the emperor's mouth were filled with a friendly smile.
"The emperor likes it, just take it." The Queen Mother was a lot more relaxed, she really had some expectations, and when she heard the word peach blossom, she was a little disappointed in her relaxation.
The emperor got up, his free and easy figure, his handsome face, the concubines present were a little dizzy, he picked two peach blossoms from the bottle at will, and walked around the hall in a leisurely stroll, and his handsome eyes swept over the faces of the concubines one by one.
Only then did the concubines understand what the emperor meant, and the emperor was drunk. But they all have spring in their eyes, and their eyes are eager for the peach blossoms of the emperor's hand to fall on their sideburns.
The emperor's footsteps staggered slightly, walked over step by step, and walked over step by step, and finally stood in front of Concubine Xian, "Pian Yu, is it okay to give birth to a princess like a peach blossom for me?" ”
The peach blossom fell between Concubine Xian's hair, and only made Concubine Xian's embarrassed face three points redder than the peach blossom.
The emperor raised his hand and threw his feet, instantly tearing apart the desires of the other concubines, and a peach blossom actually pushed the virtuous concubine to the forefront. The harem is like this, the more favored by the emperor, the more jealousy it will incur.
And Qingling, who had experienced a bit of vinegar rain and jealousy just now, secretly sighed to himself, glad that the emperor was drunk and only saw the beautiful concubine as beautiful as a flower in his eyes, and was glad that he did not provoke him in the slightest. At this time, the concubines have probably forgotten her existence, just a palace maid, like duckweed on the surface of the pool, unable to withstand a little wind and rain at all.
A warm eye looked over, stopped in the shadow of Qingling's body, but Qingling could see clearly, it was the man sitting on the lower left side of the Queen Mother's seat, about a few years old for the little emperor, his face was somewhat similar to the emperor, but his face was warm, his eyes were as handsome as stars, and the bright eyes of Qingling in the shadow met his gaze, and his whole body was as warm as a spring breeze, but it was not as cold as the emperor's eyes, which made people chill.
Qingling went to see the person in the hall again, and his eyes were really drunk, and he was holding a wine bottle with a handsome face, his eyes were cold, and he swept the beauties in the hall lightly, drinking cup by cup.
The queen mother said that she was too drunk to rest, and the birthday of March 3 ended in the harmony of the mother and son, and the harmony of the concubines.
Qingling lived back in the hut of the side hall of the Buddha Hall, except for the daily Queen Mother chanting and worshipping the Buddha to accompany the side, the rest of the time is also comfortable, you can also walk around the Renshou Palace.
The emperor would come to Renshou Palace every day to say goodbye, and sometimes he would stay for dinner.
The queen mother will also instruct her to serve tea and cloth dishes for the emperor, and the emperor has long remembered stopping for her by the Taiye pool, wrapping her hands, and treating her as an ordinary palace maid.
Once the emperor stayed in Renshou Palace for lunch, Qingling cloth vegetables, and sandwiched a stewed lamb meat that the queen mother loved to eat with chopsticks, and the emperor reprimanded with a cold face: "The weather is getting hotter and hotter, although the lamb meat is soft and fragrant and delicious, using too much will make the queen mother's phoenix body phlegm and panting, is this how you serve the queen mother?" ”
The cold voice was mixed with boredom, so that Qingling could only kneel down and ask for guilt in a panic, but it was the Queen Mother's gentle words of consolation: "The lamb meat in the spring is tender and thin, and after a few days of green grass, the lamb grows fat, and the meat is fat, so the mourning family likes to eat a few more bites." ”
Ji Xiang pondered if the emperor was really angry, and interjected with a smile: "The queen mother coughed a few days ago, the emperor is benevolent and filial, and don't worry too much about the queen mother's phoenix body." This is the third time that this stewed milk lamb has been served, and the Queen Mother will have to wait until next month if she wants to eat it. ”
