Chapter 12 The phoenix winds around the tree in front of the king
The moment he stepped into the Jiaofang Palace, Wang Zhengjun was really nervous. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info I don't know why this queen mother announced her entry into the palace early in the morning.
The consul's palace lady said: "Palace people, you wait here for a while, and the queen will arrive later." ”
Wang Zhengjun nodded gently, and his reserved smile looked generous and decent.
After a while, Queen Wang walked out from behind the golden curtain of flowers in a dignified manner. She wears a gold silk eight treasures on her head, a pearl hairpin with five phoenixes hanging from the morning sun, a luxurious red palace dress embroidered with a phoenix wearing a peony pattern, with gold and silver thread embroidered with the Ruyi Liuyun lace gently flowing with walking, colorful embroidery brilliant, humble and elegant.
Seeing this, Wang Zhengjun hurriedly knelt down and saluted, and said softly: "Slave Wang Zhengjun see the queen's mother!" ”
On the gentle face of the queen king, the gentle smile was as soft and clear as a light cloud, and she said, "Get up, don't kneel." ”
Wang Zhengjun stood up and stood aside respectfully.
"This palace asks you, what is the relationship between Shen Miaoling and you? Why are you willing to kneel in front of the Jiaofang Palace for a day and a night for such a sinner and ask the palace to intercede for her? There was a hint of solemnity on the queen's calm face.
"Queen Mother, Miaoling is not a sinner." Wang Zhengjun said, peeked at Queen Wang, and saw that Queen Wang was not angry, so he continued, "The slave maid and Miaoling entered the palace together, and they are like sisters, and she is also very clear about being a slave and maid. The slave maid believed that she categorically couldn't do anything to kill Sima Liangdi. ”
"Do you have proof?" Seeing that Wang Zhengjun's blank face was full of confusion, Queen Wang said again, "There is no evidence, right?" This palace has also secretly investigated, otherwise how could this palace not see you? ”
Queen Wang walked up to Wang Zhengjun's side and asked lightly, "Do you blame this palace?" ”
"Slaves don't dare." Wang Zhengjun bowed his head respectfully, and his heart trembled violently.
"Although this palace is not the prince's own mother, it regards the prince as his own child. The palace lives in this deep palace, and the only hope is the prince, and the palace cannot tolerate any mistakes in him. Therefore, even if Shen Miaoling did not cause a catastrophe, it would be impossible for this palace to leave a person as ruthless and vicious as her. Queen Wang sighed, gently took Wang Zhengjun's hand, and said, "Do you understand the hard work of this palace?" ”
"The slave understands." Wang Zhengjun's lowered eyes had tears faintly flashing.
"Come here!" Queen Wang smiled and pulled Wang Zhengjun over, "Sit next to the palace, the palace wants to talk to you!" ”
"Slaves don't dare!" Wang Zhengjun knelt down in fright.
"Nothing!" Queen Wang smiled gently, "When I first saw you in this palace, I felt that you were quite suitable for this palace." Now that I see you so gentle and submissive, I like this palace even more. Therefore, this palace allows you to sit on the toilet without formality! ”
Wang Zhengjun looked at the gentle and calm eyes of Queen Wang, and his trembling heart gradually calmed down. She replied softly, "No! ”
Then, Wang Zhengjun and Queen Wang talked for a while like a mother and daughter. At this moment, Wang Zhengjun suddenly had a kind of respect in her heart, she never knew that a queen of the Han Dynasty could be so gentle to a slave, as if in her eyes, there is no distinction between high and low in this world.
Queen Wang took a few sips of tea and said, "This palace heard from the court order that you are both talented and knowledgeable, can you play a song for this palace today?" ”
"The queen wants to listen, the slave and maid are willing." Wang Zhengjun lowered his head in shame, and said, "It's just that the slave maid is only a shallow learner, so I am afraid that I will disturb the mother!" ”
"Why be presumptuous?" Queen Wang looked at Wang Zhengjun and smiled gently, "If there is really no real talent and real learning, this good name will not spread to the ears of this palace?" ”
Queen Wang ordered her maid Liuyue to fetch a good guqin, and her eyes were very complicated when she looked at the guqin. In the dark eyes, the depth and blur that are expected not to be worn, and the soft sadness gradually flashes. Queen Wang approached, gently pulled up her long sleeves, and gently hooked the strings with her slender fingers, and the guqin immediately made a vigorous and flowing sound. She said to Wang Zhengjun: "This piano has been with the palace for more than 20 years, and the palace has always loved it. It's just that the main palace doesn't need it now. ”
Queen Wang put away her somewhat sad eyes, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, "Zhengjun, you can use this piano to play a song for the palace!" ”
"No!" Wang Zhengjun stepped forward and sat down, and the sound of the piano sounded softly.
The queen smiled with satisfaction, and she fell asleep unconsciously as she leaned back on the soft couch.
In the days to come, Wang Zhengjun was often invited by the queen to come to this pepper room hall. Every time, I either accompany the queen to drink tea and talk, or play music for her. And Queen Wang did not taboo Wang Zhengjun to have the same surname as her, and she liked Wang Zhengjun in every way. Even Wang Zhengjun himself can't say why. However, Wang Zhengjun saw sadness in the eyes of Queen Wang, which was the same loneliness and sadness as when her mother left the Wang family.
Soon after, Wang Zhengjun was transferred to Shanglin Yuan to serve. Those family members who entered the palace with her are all rumored to be selected to serve in this Shanglin Yuan because of the court order to see Wang Zhengjun's gentleness and intelligence, and diligence and cleverness. But Wang Zhengjun knew in his heart that this had something to do with Queen Wang.
In the future, I will spend my days in this quiet upper forest garden. Although it was bland, it was much happier than in the court. Here, she could see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the man she fell in love with at first sight.
"Zhengjun, you have been serving in Shanglin Yuan for so long, you can see the emperor?" Yun Luo, who was sitting next to Wang Zhengjun, suddenly asked. When Wang Zhengjun entered the Shanglin Garden, she took Yun Luo over to take a look. said that in the future, if I look for an opportunity, I will also get Yunluo to serve in this forest garden.
"Nope." Wang Zhengjun shook his head, and a clear and brilliant smile flowed on Qingli's face.
"No?" Yun Luo looked at Wang Zhengjun in confusion, and said, "Then you are still so happy?" ”
"Because I never wanted to be the emperor's concubine." Wang Zhengjun looked calm.
"But aren't we all entering the palace for ......?" Yun Luo didn't go on, just looked straight at Wang Zhengjun.
"I did enter the palace with this purpose in mind, but since I met someone, I don't think about it that way anymore." When Wang Zhengjun said this, he remembered the scene when he met the prince in the hunting ground of Shanglinyuan that day, and the prince's gentle and elegant smile. She stared at the silver-white square scarf in her hand for a long time, and a hazy tenderness slowly flashed in her clear eyes.
Yun Luo snatched the square scarf from Wang Zhengjun's hand and asked rhetorically, "Are you talking about Xiao Yu?" ”
"Don't guess, it's not him." Wang Zhengjun shook his head gently.
"Who's that?" Yun Luo said that, and handed the square scarf in his hand to Wang Zhengjun.
"A person who can only be imagined but not seen." Wang Zhengjun got up and stood up, "Okay, don't worry about asking me about it." It's hard for you to get this Yichun Garden, wouldn't it be a pity if all the time was spent on me? Walk! I'll show you around! ”
Yichun Garden is a place for people to rest and play in Shanglin Garden, which is unique. Although it is simple and elegant, quiet and chic, it is also magnificent and very royal.
Yunluo and Zhengjun joked and joked all the way, very happy, but it seemed like they had returned to the past.
"Yunluo, and this lotus pond!" Wang Zhengjun excitedly pointed to the pool under the pavilion, "There are several kinds of lotus flowers blooming in this pool, take a closer look!" ”
"Really?" Yun Luo was curious, and looked in the direction pointed by Wang Zhengjun, but was attracted by the frolicking sound on the side of the rockery. Yun Luo didn't look over, and saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince pushing Sima Liangdi on a swing there. The flowery vines meandered up along the long rope, swinging briskly, but they carried out the fragrance of a hundred flowers. Looking at it from a distance, I felt that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Sima Liangdi were like being in the ethereal and beautiful fairy mist, and their smiles were as bright as clouds in the sky. Against the backdrop of the peach blossoms that are pink but not coquettish, they really look like fairy couples who don't ask about the world.
"Your Highness, a little higher!"
"Your Highness, a little higher!"
……
Sima Liangdi's cheerful voice was like a flower with wings, and the aftersound floating in the air was as sweet as honey.
"Is that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Sima Liangdi?" Yunluo asked.
"Yes." Although Wang Zhengjun's voice was soft, there was no lack of amazement and envy. Wang Zhengjun passes by here every day, and she has seen scenes like this many times.
Yun Luo took a look at it and said, "Zhengjun, it seems that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Sima Liangdi often come here to play!" ”
"That's right." Wang Zhengjun looked at the figure of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in a daze, and continued, "They are very affectionate. ”
Yun Luo sighed after hearing this: "I heard that although Sima Liangdi is favored by His Royal Highness the Prince, he is not liked by the emperor and queen. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince explained to the queen several times that he wanted to appoint Sima Liangdi as the crown princess, but to no avail. However, as the royal heir, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can treat her so attentively, which is already a blessing for Sima Liangdi. ”
"It is enough to have someone so infatuated with himself in this life, and it doesn't matter if you think about your status!" Wang Zhengjun looked at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Sima Liangdi again, and his expression was calm.
