Chapter 63: The princess is crippled
Seeing Concubine Hua's reaction so big, Hao Tong waved his hands wildly: "Niangniang!" You misunderstood, the slave maid was neither sent by Lord Tokhtar, nor was she a virtuous concubine, slave maid ......"
Halfway through his explanation, a small inner supervisor with a hat panted and ran back and forth: Niangniang, that long ...... Public...... Gong ......"
The man was talking to Concubine Hua, but he didn't breathe, but his chest rose and fell. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Hao Tong only guessed the clue from his expression and words, and smiled at Concubine Hua: "Congratulations to Concubine Hua, it must be Her Royal Highness the eldest princess who has come to greet you personally!"
Concubine Hua was stunned for a moment, and ...... Princess?
"Oops! Have you forgotten your own flesh and blood? It can be seen that I have been stupid in the cold palace for so many years! Your princess Sakurachen! Yu smiled in the past, wiping his sweat with a cyan handkerchief, the blue lotus on the handkerchief was exquisitely embroidered, and it looked like the woman in the cold palace embroidered it for him.
"Yes! Niangniang, Her Royal Highness the princess and the two inner eunuchs still have ......" The little inner eunuch took off the hat and showed his tanned black and red face, his expression was nervous and excited.
Before he could finish his sentence, the sound of horses' hooves was heard, and the dust was flying, and four horses galloped towards him.
When Hao Tong saw the person on the horse clearly, his mouth was wide open, the four-color radish cake inside forgot to stir, and the teacup he was holding was tilted and burned to his hands, and he was shocked to the taste. threw away the teacup, ran two steps, desperately swallowed the food in his mouth, knelt in front of the horse, and shouted long live on the mountain......
This is...... The Holy Driver is coming, and there is no guard of honor?
The people in the cold palace were shocked and inexplicable, and they all quickly followed and knelt on the ground.
Only Concubine Hua stood up, helpless, neither standing, nor kneeling, never thought that one day the emperor would come to the cold palace, but not her husband......
The four of them got off the horse, and the one who led the way first was Gao Changshi, followed by Yue Shuilian in eunuch clothes, and finally Princess Yingchen and Zun.
"Get up!"
Zun took the golden horse whip and said a word, but Princess Yingchen didn't even look at these slaves, looked around, and shouted, "Look! Brother Emperor, this is the Hall of Three Lives, the Hall of Immortality of Three Lives III. In heaven I wish to be a winged bird, in the earth I wish to be a branch! Look at the eaves of the palace, perched hundreds of noisy crows. How apt is it that the earth is overgrown with artemisia grass, and the vines and leaves of the creeper are entwined and intertwined? Back then, my father prepared such a good golden house for my mother, which was really a unique grace, and it made people grateful! ”
Ying Chen shouted in a strange way, sarcastically mocking all the unfair treatment suffered by his father and mother and daughter.
Zun didn't say anything, only looked up at the "three corpses" on the faded plaque on the main hall.
"Her Royal Highness Princess Qiyu, this is Concubine Hua."
Hao Tong hurriedly stepped forward to identify her, he also wanted to grab such a credit, and Yu Xiangjin, who was bowing down and waiting behind, snorted from his nose, but he finally knew that the new emperor was not taking off his face, and his heart was up and down, as if he had guessed something.
Princess Yingchen followed Hao Tong's fingers, only to notice that in the shade of a tree in the distance, next to the stone table, there was a woman in black wearing a crumpled homespun cloth dress, with a black veil covering her face.
Since she was a child, she knew that her mother, Concubine Hua, had fallen out of favor due to the epidemic and was sent to the cold palace, and she was never allowed to visit her because of such an illness.
walked over and whispered: Mother...... Imperial concubine......
Her eyes couldn't help but get wet, this sentence was really rusty, she hadn't called it so old before.
Concubine Hua nodded, "You...... Is it Princess Sakurachen? You've grown so big......"
Princess Yingchen saw that she was very calm, and did not come over to hug herself with a handful of snot and tears as she imagined, so she breathed a sigh of relief, to be honest, she also needed time to slowly cultivate a relationship with her strange mother.
There was a short silence, quite embarrassing, she had nothing to say, she turned around and smiled at Zun: "Brother Emperor, you see, the mother concubine is so selfish, she is tall, but she gives birth to a short and fat courtier!"
In this way, the inner supervisors have also noticed that the girls who can be retrieved through the layers of checkpoints in the palace, height and weight, skin color, facial features, hair, and even SI have a set of strict standards, and only qualified people can have the honor to enter the inner palace to serve the emperor.
Fortunately, she is a princess.
Zun said: "If you don't fight for yourself, you have to rely on the head of the mother." ”
As he spoke, he walked over and bowed his head slightly: "Have you seen Concubine Hua, is her mother healthy?" ”
Concubine Hua hurriedly said: Wearing a sinful body, I dare not be a gift to His Majesty. ”
At a close glance, the young emperor wearing a silver-white embroidered gold dragon robe and a silver pearl-grabbing dragon hair crown is tall and handsome, and there is a jewel in his heroic spirit, it can be said that except for the detachment of Yan Fei back then, she has never seen such a beautiful young man, such a long-lost manly breath captured her nose through the veil, and the old face couldn't help but blush, but it was still blocked by the veil, and everyone couldn't see her changes.
At the moment, he hurriedly and respectfully replied: "Your Majesty forgives the sin, because the sinner has been imprisoned in the cold palace for many years because she was rejected by the previous emperor, and she knows very little about the outside world, dare to ask Your Majesty which palace lord was born?" ”
Originally, the mother and daughter met each other sadly, but Princess Yingchen couldn't help it, with tears in her eyes, she laughed: "Mother! You are really a frog at the bottom of the well, and you ask questions that laugh to death. ”
"Princess, be careful! How can anyone compare his mother to a frog? How did your mama teach you? Concubine Hua's voice was full of displeasure.
Princess Yingchen felt her mother's love from this reproach, and she went over to hold her mother's hand and coquettishly: "The strings of the mother concubine are too tight!" ”
Gao Changshi replied on the side: "If you go back to Concubine Hua, our Majesty's biological mother is Concubine Niangniang of Xingchang Palace, she entered the palace at the same time as you, I don't know if Niangniang remembers?" ”
"Kosho Palace...... Concubine Yuan ......" Concubine Hua muttered to herself, repeating, but her eyes never left Zun, as if she wanted to think of Concubine Yuan's appearance from him.
Zun also looked at her, and Gao Changshi hurriedly said: "Concubine Hua, you won't not remember, Concubine Yuan Niangniang was also with you back then, because she angered the first emperor and was beaten into the cold palace, but she was not as lucky as you, and she died of epidemic disease as soon as she came in." ”
"Yes, how could you forget? It's all the same hard work. Concubine Hua sighed.
"And what did her mother say before she died?" When Zun heard someone talk about his deceased mother, he only felt sour.
"Oh! Sorry, we don't know each other, it was the middle of the night when she died, and everyone was sleeping! ”
What is the true friendship between a woman who shares a man? Concubine Hua seems to have fought with Concubine Yuan? Anyway, as soon as I heard this name, my tone became colder and colder, and I didn't want to mention it again.
Hao Tong finally knew that there were only two kinds of creatures in the cold palace, one was a madman, and they were all disposed of just now.
One is a fool, like Concubine Hua, who combines self-esteem and delusional self-esteem, without conflict.
But if she were her, in order to stay in the palace, for the sake of future glory and wealth, even if she was lying at this time, she would have to make up a story that moved the emperor very much, wouldn't it? It's just that she doesn't even bother to pretend, and she doesn't know if she's at this time, what else is there to lame? Could it be that he once gave birth to a widowed princess? It can be seen that it is no accident that this tendon woman has been beaten into the cold palace for sixteen years.
"Your Majesty, the slave has something to say...... "The eunuch in charge of the cold palace came over at the right time in the past and bowed.
Venerable nodded in agreement.
The eunuch talked about the past: Before the old slave came to the Three Lives Palace, he had always been the head of the Xingchang Palace, serving the Yuan Concubine Niangniang with him.
Later, the mother was angry with the holy will because of the incident and was sent to the cold palace, she was sad and angry, crying day and night, and contracted the epidemic. It was winter, and the food in the cold palace was rough and unpalatable, and he couldn't even supply charcoal, let alone delay the doctor's consultation, so he died.
The old slave served beside her at that time, and when she was dying, she kept calling your mother's name, Your Majesty......
The old slave guessed that she wanted to see His Majesty for the last time before leaving, but she couldn't. Your Majesty, you were not yet four years old that year, not to mention the palace rules and taboos, even if it is allowed, Niangniang is absolutely reluctant for you to come to such a sinister place!?
As he spoke, the eunuch hid his face with his sleeves and was overwhelmed with grief.
Zun's throat choked on something, like eating a big mouthful of mustard, a spicy rush straight to his head, blurred his eyes in an instant, biting his lower lip, the hard-working mother actually died in such a place! (To be continued)
