When he walked out of the Ciming Palace, the sun was very warm, and Mo Yu was not in a hurry to return to the palace, and slowly walked on the cobblestone path. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info This bit of sunshine is just right, you can dry the mildew on your body, I really don't know why the ladies of the harem, this bit of sunshine also have to hold an umbrella. For example, Concubine De just now, as soon as she left the palace gate, a palace maid stepped forward to hold an umbrella for her, were she afraid of tanning?

"Do you know how expensive this bird's nest is? You can't afford to sell ten, cry, cry, you still dare to cry. ”

"You little, I was scolded too."

"See if I don't kill you, Concubine Ning said, let you kneel here until dark, and you are not allowed to get up and eat before dark."

Mo Yu listened to the sound coming from behind the rockery, and felt unfortunate for the little palace maid, but it was just a bowl of bird's nest, so she was executed. In this palace, the life of a slave is not as valuable as a bowl of bird's nest, this is cruelty.

Lifting his feet and wanting to walk over, Yunshang immediately stopped and said: "Niangniang, the sun is poisonous, let's go back to the palace!" In this palace, each family sweeps the snow in front of the door, and it is best to ignore the things that should not be taken care of. ”

"It's okay, I'll just go over and have a look."

"Niangniang, just listen to me! This is not Wuyan Mountain, nor is it Jifu. "This is the Imperial Palace, a royal palace with strict rules and hierarchies.

"Yunshang, I know you're doing it for my good, so let's take a detour! It's going to be fine. ”

Yunshang's persuasion was ineffective, so she had to let her go. The group walked through the rockery and came to the palace maid. The little palace maid's hands are red and swollen, probably because she was burned by bird's nest when she fell! When he saw someone coming, he didn't dare to raise his head, and he lowered his head and sobbed.

Yunshang stepped forward and said, "Raise your head, this is our master, Concubine Li." ”

The little palace maid was scared and had to raise her head, the tears on her face had not yet dried, and when she saw Mo Yu, she lowered her head in horror and saluted: "The slave maid sees Concubine Li." ”

Mo Yu suddenly remembered that the little face in her memory was also a crying face, no matter what she touched or bumped into, she would cry for a long time. At that time, she would gently exhale at the wound as her mother had done to her, and then the wound would stop hurting. The two of them are best friends, playing house together, playing mud together, setting off fireworks together during festivals, and exchanging gifts together on birthdays.

A person who is so afraid of pain should feel how painful it should be to kneel on this uneven ground now!

"What's your name?" Mo Yu tried his best to calm the excitement in his heart, and asked as if unintentionally.

The little palace maid lowered her head and rubbed her hands, and replied in a trembling voice: "The slave's name is Biyue." ”

The little girl in my memory is not called Biyue, she is called Lotus, a lotus that blooms in summer, a lotus that comes out of the mud and is not stained. Mo Yu flicked his sleeves and said, "After I go back, wet the handkerchief with cold water, put it on my knees, and then rub some safflower oil, and apply aloe vera juice to the burned area for a while." ”

"Thank you, thank you, thank you."

Mo Yu watched her keep kowtowing, and her heart was sore. "You don't have to thank me, I didn't help you with anything."

Yunshang is right, in this palace, you must sweep the snow in front of your own house. Moyu turned around and left the rockery. She wasn't used to the current atmosphere, she wasn't used to someone kowtowing to her.

In the afternoon, Mo Yu took everyone and brought gifts to Concubine Shu's Yuehua Palace.

When I arrived at the gate of the palace, I saw a woman in a short coat and narrow trousers, a silver gun in her hand, swaying freely, stabbing, pouring, hooking, and hitting in one go. Mo Yu approached and looked at the heroic woman in front of her, her eyebrows were heroic, and her face was full of flying color. Such a woman should be galloping on horseback, and the greatness of heaven and earth is at her disposal, rather than being trapped in this deep palace and waiting for grace alone.

The sunlight shines directly on the surface of the gun, and the reflection is piercing to the eye. Mo Yu narrowed her eyes, feeling the strong wind when the silver spear was getting closer and closer to her, her hair flew back, she watched the gun get closer and closer to her without blinking, and sneered in her heart, Wu, she didn't understand it at all.

The silver spear stopped outside her throat, and the worries of Yun Sheng and the others in their throats were put down with peace of mind when they saw the gun stop.

"Is that you?" The woman with the gun said in shock.

I still remember that two years ago, Moyu once went down the mountain and encountered a group of robbers on the way. Originally, she didn't pay attention to the group of robbers, but it just so happened that she was encountered by a passer-by. So, after the passer-by knocked down the group of robbers in three or two strokes, he looked at Moyu with a smile and said, "Girl, it's okay."

The passer-by was the woman in front of her, the concubine. They hit it off at first sight, and later they chatted for a long time in a teahouse on the outskirts of Beijing, and before leaving, they also gave each other gifts. Unexpectedly, after two years, when Concubine Shu saw her, she could still recognize her clearly. "It's me, Sister Fan." At that time, she didn't know Concubine Shu's name, she only knew that her surname was Fan, so she called her Sister Fan.

"You're not afraid."

This is an affirmative sentence, and it is the owner of this Yuehua Palace, Concubine Shu. The dignified and gentle, elegant makeup is Shu, and the emperor doesn't know if it is intentional, and he named a general's daughter as a concubine.

"If Niangniang didn't even have this ability, she wouldn't be playing with guns here." Mo Yu obeyed, "Concubine see Concubine Niangniang." ”

Concubine Shu took back the gun, handed it to the palace maid next to her, and picked up a face towel to wipe her hands. "Flatten. When you first entered the palace, you may not know that there are few brave women like you in this palace. ”

Mo Yu got up and looked at the woman in front of her with the light. "The lady concubine is heroic, but the concubine is envious."

"I'm behind the gate, naturally savage, you're different, you're a flower in the greenhouse, do you still envy us who dance with knives and guns all day long."

At least he can dance with a knife and a gun, and he can live a real life.

"The birds in the sky envy the fish that swim in the sea, but the fish in the sea also envy the birds in the sky that can breathe the air freely. They are just envious of each other. ”

Concubine Shu threw away the face towel in her hand and walked towards the hall, "I don't envy you people. ”

Yes, maybe outside the palace, Concubine Shu will not envy those boudoir ladies who do not leave the gate, but within the walls of this palace, all the people who live are boudoir ladies, she does not know poetry and songs, she does not know piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she has no chance to show her face in front of the emperor. So, she can only choose to be here, with her gun.

"Mother, aren't we going in?" Yunshang asked.

"Oh, let's go!"

Concubine Shu's Yuehua Palace is not as luxurious as Ciming Palace, nor is it as regular as the Jade Immortal Palace. Mo Yu walked all the way over, and the shadows of swords and guns could be seen everywhere, and on the left side of the main hall, a silver-gray armor was hung. Clean and shiny, presumably the owner wipes it from time to time!

Entering the hall, Concubine Shu had already sat down, pointed to the position opposite her, and said, "Sit down!" ”

Mo Yu sat down as she said, and a palace maid brought tea, put it on the table and then stepped back.

"Am I scary here?"

Mo Yu shook her head, "No." Just now, the concubine said that she was envious, and she was sincere. ”

"You've only been in the palace for a day, and you have such feelings, not to mention those of us who have been in the palace for a few years. In the past, I looked down on you, thinking that you were just an embroidered pillow, and I didn't like it. But now I envy you, except for dancing knives and guns, I don't know anything about piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, and songs. How could the emperor like a woman like me? ”

"Niangniang should miss the days of galloping horses!"

Concubine Shu's eyes fell on the armor behind Mo Yu, and said, "I miss it very much, the first time I saw the emperor, it was a horse race with her." At that time, I was arrogant, and I always thought that no one in the world was better at equestrianism than me, but the emperor appeared, and he won me in that Marseille, frustrated my spirit, and captured my heart. ”

The equestrian skills of the lady are famous throughout the city of Tokyo. At that time, in the Fan family's army, no one was invincible, and even his father Fan Ai often sighed that his daughter was better than the blue.

"Later, I married the emperor, accompanied him to the battlefield with a gun, killed the enemy, and helped the emperor to create the Zhou Kingdom. But since that arrow, he has never allowed me to ride into battle again. ”

Concubine Shu blocked a fatal arrow for the emperor back then, which led to a miscarriage and the root of the disease, and then she could no longer have children. But Mo Yu thought that this might not be the most painful thing for her! The most painful thing is that she can no longer carry a gun to the battlefield.

It's like a person who has a life-and-death relationship with you, and shares weal and woe, and one day suddenly says to you that he doesn't need you anymore, how painful you should be when you hear this. Concubine Shu doesn't care about anything, she doesn't care about her name, she doesn't care about her children, she doesn't care about life and death, and the most painful thing about her is that the emperor doesn't need her anymore.

Mo Yu got up and walked to Concubine Shu's side, the sunlight shining from the temple door to the hall, and the dust in the air could be clearly seen. Shufei took a deep breath, feeling the familiar smell of dust.

"The sun is so good." Mo Yu couldn't help but say.

"yes, that's nice. But no matter how good it is, it will disappear before nightfall. I really don't understand, is it bad outside the uterus? Why are you coming in? ”

"But tonight it's gone, and tomorrow it'll be there at dawn. Hope can only be seen at the moment of dawn, and people cannot always live without hope. Moyu Brick glanced at her and said, "Niangniang doesn't need to ask me why I came in, although I didn't volunteer, I was willing." ”

Concubine Shu turned her head and said with a smile: "You are so bold, you dare to teach this palace a lesson." ”

From the time she came in to the present, she called herself "Bengong" for the first time, Moyu ignored her and said: "But the concubine knows that the concubine does not have a concubine, because the smile of the concubine is real." ”

"How do you know that Hongu's smile is real, what if Ihoniya is pretending?"

"The concubine can feel that if a person smirks, it will be very stiff. On the other hand, if it is a smile in her heart, her eyes are smiling, Concubine Niangniang, you smile beautifully, you should smile more, so that you will be more confident. ”

Concubine Shu glanced at Mo Yu, walked back to the hall, and sat in the hall drinking tea. "You're not very old, but your eyesight is good. Tell me, how do you know I'm not confident? ”

Mo Yu pointed to the furnishings in the hall and said, "First, there are so many knives and guns in this hall, I want the emperor not to forget the love of the year when he sees it." Seeing that Concubine Shu had put down the teacup, Mo Yu knew that her guess was good, and continued: "Second, Niangniang generally only reads military books, and the others don't read, just the one on Niangniang's desk is "The Art of War". Third, the dress of the mother is still the dress of the military people, although the color of the clothing has changed, but the style has not changed. ”

Concubine Shu was puzzled, "Then what do you mean by this?" ”

"Because the mother doesn't dare to try anything other than these. The mother did not dare to try to read the poetry collection, and did not dare to touch the strings. Niangniang is afraid that if she wears her hair in a bun, it will not look good, and even when she walks, she will fall apart, and she dare not wear palace clothes, because you are afraid that after wearing it, you will not even be able to walk. ”

"You know what? I'm tempted to take my silver spear and stab you in the throat right now. ”

Mo Yu smiled, walked to the opposite of Concubine Shu and sat down, and said with a smile: "Concubine Niangniang, there are only two of us in this hall, you don't have to be embarrassed." ”

Concubine Shu was relieved, took a sip of tea, and said with a smile: "Although I was told that I was in my heart, I don't know why, but I don't get angry, but I feel a lot more relaxed." I felt that the boulder that had been pressing on my heart for a long time suddenly fell, and I was comfortable. ”

"Concubine Niangniang, don't blame the concubine for being too talkative. Although the battle is still to be fought now, it is no longer fought every day. The emperor doesn't need to go to the battlefield in person, and naturally he doesn't allow his women to go to the battlefield. Even if the emperor wants to recruit in person, there are fierce generals around him, where is it your turn to escort you. Another point, the emperor really feels sorry for you, he doesn't need you anymore, but wants you to live the life that a wife should live. ”

"But you know what? In this palace, there are so many young women, so many that he doesn't even know himself, how can he still remember me, an old man. ”

"Would you like to hear a story from your concubine?" Seeing her nodding, Mo Yu said: "Once upon a time, there was a person who applied to be a pianist, and there were many other people who applied with him. When they arrived, the examiner said to them, 'I'm sorry, we made a mistake, we are not looking for a luthier, but a storyteller.' When many people heard this, they left, but this man remained, and the examiner asked him: 'They are all gone, why don't you carry your piano on your back?' When the man had heard this, he put the piano aside, poured a cup of tea, and went behind his desk to speak in public, and because the man had spoken so well, the examiner hired him and asked him, 'Why don't you play the piano and tell the book instead?' The man replied, 'Because I need this job, I need this monthly salary, and if you want a storyteller, then I will become a storyteller.' ’”

Many times, they can't change others or the environment, so only they can change themselves.

Seeing the moving look on Concubine Shu's face, Mo Yu said: "So Niangniang, we can't change this palace, we can only change ourselves." You should try a new way of life, there are people in this house who are working for you, don't be afraid that they will make you ugly. Do you want to think, no matter how ugly it is, can it be worse than now? ”

Concubine Shu recalled Moyu's words, and only came back to her senses after about a cup of tea, and said quietly: "If you had appeared a few years earlier, I might have lived an easy life now. ”

"It's not too late."

The two looked at each other and smiled, and Concubine Shu said softly: "I don't know why, I've only seen you for the first time, and I will believe you." ”

Mo Yu smiled clearly, "Trust is sometimes not based on the length of time, but on a feeling, the concubine feels that Niangniang is a bright and upright person, so the concubine believes in you." That's why she said so much.

After chatting for a long time, it wasn't until the sun set that the palace came in to remind him, and Concubine Shu apologized and personally sent Moyu Dao to the door.

On the way back, Mo Yu opened his hand to feel the residual warmth in his hand. She enlightened Concubine Shu, but she herself didn't seem to come out. What she wants is not the emperor's favor, but freedom.

There are some things that you feel are within reach, but you can't grasp them. For example, the emperor's favor, you think that the emperor favors you because he loves you, but in fact it is not, he will spoil you, but he will not love you. He will give you a palace and make you think you are free, but it is not, it is just a piece of freedom surrounded by four walls that He gave you.
