Chapter 15: The Past

The snow kept falling one after another, and Mama Ji sent the emperor out of Renshou Palace, and watched the emperor walk away in the snow, and there was still an inherent smile on her face. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Snowy nights are silent, and what is not calm is the heart of man.

It seems to be such a snowy night, and it seems that she sent him out of Renshou Palace as she did tonight. Although the queen mother is not the emperor's biological mother, the emperor has been raised by the queen mother since he was a child.

It's just that that year, the emperor had just ascended the throne, and there were no newcomers in the palace, and the emperor's women were only the queen and the imperial concubine, as well as Concubine Zheng who died of illness and the one who is now in the cold palace, there are very few. That night, the imperial concubine, who was more than eight months pregnant, drank a bowl of eight-treasure lotus seed soup sent by the queen herself, and suddenly gave birth prematurely, bleeding from her lower body, and almost killed two corpses.

The queen mother summoned the queen to Renshou Palace overnight to inquire, the queen refused to admit that there was a problem with the Babao lotus seed soup, and the words were rude and decent, the queen mother was originally angry with the favored and arrogant queen, and a bowl of hot tea was splashed on the queen's face, "Could it be that the imperial concubine poisoned herself herself?" ”

I don't want the queen to be a strong personality, and she is favored by the emperor, how could she have been insulted like this, she was uneven, and hit her head on the pillar, and the fragrance disappeared immediately.

As soon as the empress died, the emperor was furious. The moment he walked out of Renshou Palace with the body of the empress, the mother-son relationship between the queen mother and the emperor for many years gradually faded, and for many years, only one salute was left in the harem.

The poisoning could not be found, and the emperor was angry, so he sent the queen and the palace attendants around the imperial concubine out of the palace to guard the tomb for the queen. The events of that year disappeared with the passage of time, and no one in the palace knew about it except for a few old people, and only the words "In the first year of Daqian, Gong Xiaoren Wendun and Empress Shun died of illness" were recorded in the palace stalls that year.

Mama Ji squinted her eyes and stood on the snow, such a night, a vast white patch, except for the sound of falling snow, and then the sound of the emperor stepping on the snow as he gradually walked away.

She walked around the main hall and braved the falling snow to come to the Buddha hall in the backyard of Renshou Palace.

The woman kneeling on the futon at the feet of the Buddha, with her eyebrows lowered and her hands folded, reciting the scriptures silently. That face is very similar to the deceased queen Zhao Ling'er. It is also because of the appearance of the queen that the queen mother is willing to leave her, and it is important to eliminate the estrangement between mother and son, as long as the person is in Renshou Palace, what kind of mess can a palace maid turn out.

For more than a month, Mama Ji contacted her every day, and she thought that between her words and deeds, she was like two people with the deceased queen Zhao Ling'er.

one is pampered and arrogant, arrogant and domineering; An indifferent and calm, as quiet as water.

"Qingling, let's stop here today, after chanting this scripture, continue the incense and go to rest." Mama Ji knelt on the futon beside Qingling, bowed three times, and commanded.

Qingling's legs were numb from kneeling, and when he got up after chanting the scriptures, he stood unsteadily and fell on the ground in front of the Buddha, and he couldn't get up.

After struggling for a long time, her numb legs gradually regained consciousness, followed by a heart-rending pain, which made her sweat coldly.

"Miss, what's wrong with you?" A little palace maid quietly slipped into the Buddhist hall and glanced at Qingling who was sitting on the ground, revealing a swollen and thick leg under the palace clothes, "Oops, why is Miss's leg swollen like this?" ”

A bright little face under the candlelight is a graceful one that Qingling is all too familiar with. On that day, the show girl was selected, Wan Xin did not get the emperor's reward, because of her good appearance and good spirituality, she was recommended to Renshou Palace by her grandmother, and became the palace maid of Renshou Palace who specializes in sprinkling and sweeping the Buddha Hall.

The master and servant met again in the palace by chance, and lived in a small room in the side hall of the Buddhist hall.

Qingling groaned and put his hand on Wanxin's shoulder, "Wanxin, I've been kneeling for a long time, and I fell when I got up, it seems that my leg was broken." ”

Wan Xin helped Qingling back to the residence where the two of them lived in the Buddha Hall, and they were already sweating, "Miss, I'll go and report to Mama Ji and ask a doctor to take a look." ”

"Wanxin, don't go, it's so late, don't disturb Mama Ji, let's go again tomorrow." Qingling hurriedly grabbed Wanxin's hand to stop it.

"But miss, your leg is swollen like this, and you still have a fever! The slave and maid will go and boil you some hot water, and it won't hurt to drink a little. Wan Xin talked about Qingling's underwear, one leg was red, swollen and hot.

Can hot water cure leg pain? Qingling couldn't help but want to laugh, held back the pain and said, "Wanxin, do you and I still want to be commensurate with master and servant?" It's not easy for you and I to meet in the harem, and we have to rely on each other for life in the future, Wanxin, grandmother is gone, you and I are the closest person, do you still want to call me Miss? Promise me that from now on, you and I will no longer be masters and servants, only sisterhood. Qingling endured the pain and said.

Wan Xin's tears fell, "Your legs have been injured like this, what are you doing with these things regardless of your body?" ”

Qingling wiped away Wanxin's tears with her sleeve, "Because of this, I want to say that I am already a person who has been closed by the Ghost Gate a few times, whether my body is good or bad, I can't make my own decisions, and she will hurt it." However, you and I still have to divide these masters and maids, which makes me feel the most distressed. Promise me, in the future, we will only be sisters, and we will be blessed and shared with hardships and depend on each other for our lives, so that we can survive in the harem, you know? ”

"Sister, Wanxin remembered. Your legs have become like this, Wanxin has no way at all, Wanxin is really useless! Wanxin couldn't stop crying and choked up.

As soon as Sister spoke, Qingling was already smiling, and there was an indifferent smile on the corner of her mouth, "It's okay, Wanxin, you go outside to get some snow, and use snow water to pinch it, maybe it can reduce the swelling." ”

One night of snow, the next day, the palace after the snow is carved with jade, the morning sun sprinkles down, the snow is shiny, and it is particularly enchanting.

The emperor went down to the court, and did not take a sedan chair, but walked all the way to Renshou Palace to ask for peace. But was stopped by Jixiang, "The slave maid asks the emperor for peace." ”

"Excuse me, can the queen mother get up?" The cold eyes made the auspicious man in the cotton robe a little cold.

"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother saluted the Buddha in the Buddha Hall, and specially instructed the slaves and maids, there is no need to ask for peace today." Mama Ji paid her respects.

"Then I will wander around at will, waiting for the queen mother to worship the Buddha. Last night's heavy snow, did the plum blossoms in Renshou Palace bloom? It may be because of the morning sun, Mama Ji felt that the emperor's cold face showed a touch of softness.

"Back to the emperor, the plum blossoms have not bloomed, but she accidentally broke her leg when she got up from chanting last night and was in a coma all night. The slave knew that she should ask the imperial doctor to take a look, but she was still in a sinful state, and it was not in accordance with the rules to ask the imperial doctor, and the queen mother was inconvenient to disturb the Buddha. The slave doesn't know what to do for a while? Mama Ji lowered her head and looked at the hem of her clothes, as if she was at a loss.

"She? Broken leg? The corners of the emperor's mouth moved, he suddenly smiled, and said lightly, "The events of the day did happen because of her, but the crime should not be caused by her, I didn't know that Concubine Hui was pregnant, and I accidentally pushed Concubine Hui, why can't I ask the imperial doctor to take a look now?" When I first came in, I saw the Imperial Physician Wang waiting at the gate of Renshou Palace, I came to ask the Queen Mother for a pulse, my aunt can take a look at the Imperial Physician Wang first, the Queen Mother is kind, I don't think I will blame you. ”

"The slave and maid thanked the Queen Mother for Qingling, and thanked the Emperor!" Mama Ji saluted, her eyes sank, and sure enough, the emperor put aside the past and came to ask for peace for several days, and the relationship between the queen mother and the emperor's mother and son can be restored seven years ago, which has nothing to do with her.

"In that case, I'll come back later to greet the Queen Mother." The emperor raised his feet and left, and Gui Yu followed closely.

"Slave and maid send the emperor!"

The Queen Mother's Buddha is an excuse to block people, at this time the Queen Mother is in the door of the main hall of Renshou Palace, Mama Ji and the emperor's actions can be seen clearly, she just wants to try to see if the emperor has really changed his temperament, the emperor was raised by her, a person who is so obsessed with feelings, how much effort has been spent, he still favors the queen Zhao Ling'er, and later it is the exclusive favor of Concubine Hui who has a bit of a resemblance to the queen, and now she says that the change of temperament has changed, she is a little unbelievable.

Mama Ji replied to the conversation with the emperor, and the Queen Mother was suspicious, "Concubine Hui is just a little similar to her, and she has been favored alone for a few years, and now she has really changed her character?" Did the emperor say that he was going to see her? ”

"Back to the Queen Mother, the emperor has no intention of going to see it."

The Queen Mother turned around and sat on the couch, took a sip of tea, and after thinking about it for a long time, Fang said, "Because of her, the relationship between the palace and the emperor has eased a lot, although the emperor didn't say to see her, his heart was still tight, and he forgot that even if she was not guilty, she was also a palace maid, and the co-author did not make sense for the imperial doctor." ”

Mama Ji has served the old man of the Queen Mother all her life, and she naturally understands what the Queen Mother is thinking, and said with a smile, "The slave is brave, say something that should not be said, because Concubine Hui lost her child, but let the emperor change his temperament, and now the emperor is wet with rain and dew, and the branches and leaves are scattered, and the virtuous concubine and the remaining concubines are pregnant one after another, which is not a good thing, in this harem, who the emperor likes a little more, who he likes a little less, it is not a matter originally." ”

The Queen Mother's peaceful face changed, "Jixiang, you're right, in this harem." The emperor's favor is nothing. When the first emperor was there, the people who were concerned about it were not all turned into dust now. In the past month, the palace has seen that she is also sensible, since the emperor likes it, you let the imperial physician take a look, the palace and the emperor's mother and son have been tense for so many years, and there should be someone to maintain it. ”

Mama Ji took the imperial physician to the hut in the side hall of the Buddha Hall, there was no fire in the hut, and it was extremely cold. On a bed with only a mattress, there was a basin of snow, and Qingling was rubbing his red, swollen and hot legs with snow to cool down and reduce swelling.

"Qingling, my leg is injured, why didn't you say it earlier, the Queen Mother knows, and let the Imperial Doctor come to see you." Aunt Jixiang came to the bed and warmed up with Qingling's cold hands.

"Auntie, it's all slaves and maids who are not doing things properly by themselves, so they don't dare to disturb the Queen Mother and Aunt to rest." Qingling was flattered and struggled to get down to the ground to salute, but was blocked by auspiciousness.

"Imperial Physician Wang, come and take a look at her."

Imperial Physician Wang bowed his body and cautiously walked over with the medicine box.

Qingling was shocked and shouted, "Auntie, the slave maid is a palace maid who treats sin, and there is no rule of asking the imperial doctor to see the disease, please ask my aunt to find a medical girl to show the slave maid, and the slave and maid are already grateful to Dade and grateful." ”

Aunt Jixiang said with a smile, "Originally, there was no reason to ask the imperial doctor to treat the palace maid, but the queen mother was worried about the girl's body and allowed the imperial doctor to come." ”

Qingling shrank to the corner of the wall, kneeling on the bed regardless of the leg injury, this movement touched the wound, she sweated profusely, but said regardless of it, "Auntie, the slave maid implores the Queen Mother to take back her life, and the slave maid would rather drag a stump leg after being lame, and dare not break the rules of the palace." ”

Mama Ji held Qingling in distress, "Lie down quickly, your leg will hurt, what are you doing?" ”

Qingling didn't listen, and pleaded, "The slave begs the Queen Mother to take back her life!" ”

Mama Ji was also helpless, "Lie down quickly, the slave will return to the Queen Mother and find a doctor girl to come over." ”
