Chapter 155
Mu Changqing had forced back all the guards and entourage who followed at this moment, he always felt that there was a figure he was very familiar with in the crowd at the banquet just now, if he didn't come back, I was afraid he would miss something, so he just entered the courtyard and saw it, but today he was wearing heavy makeup, smoky eyebrows, condensed scarlet lips, a rose-colored brocade dress, very bright color, a water-red coat outside, full of luxury, heroic, two golden butterfly earrings hanging on the cheeks of brilliant dazzling, but three thousand hairs are all caged, Only the jade hairpin on the side of the hairpin is very eye-catching, but it is more cold and glamorous, revealing the elegance of the stars. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info At this moment, she is bright and moving, and she is amazing, but that person is Su Ruohan.
It's really her, he thought Fang Cai was dreaming, but he didn't expect it, but it was true, all this was not a dream, he took a few steps forward excitedly, and stopped just a step away from her, his voice trembling: "Ruohan." ”
Su Ruohan seemed to be drunk, and reached out to touch his cheek, which made Mu Changqing's body very cold, and his heart also hurt.
"Changqing, you have failed me, this is the life you gave me? Ridiculous......"
Suddenly a familiar and warm hug, Su Ruohan was stunned, no, this is not a dream, let alone an illusion caused by drinking, this is a real thing, this embrace is his, it is Mu Changqing's, Su Ruohan suddenly pushed him away, and then raised his hand and slapped Mu Changqing's cheek, it hurt, the palm was very hot and painful, but the pain in her heart made almost tears come out of her eyes, but she was restrained, and she tried her best to restrain herself.
"Hmph......" she laughed, the laughter was uncontrollable, tears still flowed out, so many days of thoughts and worries did not let her shed a single tear, she did not leave tears when she saw the name on the edict, but just now a long-lost hug broke her heart, she cried, sobbing lowly.
"I'm sorry, Ruohan, it's me who is sorry for you."
"You're not sorry for me, it's me, it's me who shouldn't have come to you."
When Su Ruohan woke up, she only felt a very painful headache, she looked at the room, but she just saw that the furnishings in the house were very elegant, the decoration was elegantly designed, and the smell of dragon incense was burning in the house, which was very good and mild.
But there was no one in the huge room, and she couldn't feel any sound, she slowly lifted the quilt, but found that her clothes had been changed, and she rubbed her temples in pain, did she really drink too much yesterday, she seemed to see Mu Changqing, there was a pair of embroidered shoes embroidered with gold thread on the pedals, and the peonies on them were very gorgeous, she casually took the cloak on the side and put it on, and now she didn't know where she was.
"Luan Feng?" She shouted in a slightly hoarse voice, but the air was still very quiet, as if she was the only one who was speaking. The room was very warm, although she was only wearing single clothes, but she still didn't feel the slightest cold, but she still subconsciously tightened the cloak on her body.
This dormitory is connected to the main hall on the side, when Su Ruohan entered the main hall, she felt a cold air approaching her heart, which made her seem to fall into a panic again, because what caught her eye was a brilliant plaque, which said Zhengda Bright, and under the plaque was just a man who was struggling to write, at this moment his eyebrows were tightly locked, this was the expression he would only show when he was in a dilemma, everything yesterday was not a dream, it turned out to be true, but the man in front of him was Mu Changqing.
Mu Changqing was wearing a single coat at the moment, with a piece of clothing on the outside, and he was holding a brush but writing something on the note, he was sitting on the dragon chair, on the slightly dim hall, he was still so handsome and extraordinary, but there was no more Mu Changqing who was hers, but Su Ruohan's footsteps were still stepping forward, and there was a slight echoing sound, although she tried her best to restrain her every step she took, but it still alarmed the people on the dragon chair.
Mu Changqing looked up and saw that Su Ruohan just casually put on a cloak and appeared in front of him, he was a little stunned, then put down the brush, walked over quickly, and said with a little anger: "Why did you come out dressed like this." ”
Su Ruohan looked at the man in front of her, but there was a blank feeling in her heart, she only felt that his burning gaze was tightly enveloping her, because of the light, she couldn't see his expression clearly, and suddenly her body was light, Mu Changqing actually picked her up, walked back to the dormitory, and then put her on the bed, at this time she saw his slightly tired eyes and vicissitudes of life.
"I should congratulate you on marrying three concubines."
Listening to her spit out like a bead, her voice was soft and crisp, very beautiful, I looked at her a few times, and saw that she looked innocent, naughty and naughty, her cheeks were flushed, but her complexion was beautiful and elegant, and she was really better than the one who came down from the painting, but the words she said were like a thousand years of ice, freezing her heart and stabbing the other party.
"Ruohan, you should listen to my explanation." Although Mu Changqing is very tired now, but in the face of her, he feels that no matter how difficult the state affairs are, facing her is a simple matter.
"The people's daughter sees the emperor!" Su Ruohan suddenly got out of bed and knelt down towards him.
Mu Changqing's body seemed to be bounced away, and he actually watched her kneel down like this, without saying a word, his heart hurt as if he had been pierced by a steel knife.
"Ruohan, you should blame me, after all, it's me...... Lose you. But I want you to listen to my explanation. As he spoke, Mu Changqing helped her up and sat her on the bed again, while he knelt on one knee beside her lap, his forehead rested on her lap, and his voice slowly came.
"The Wei State was on the verge of extinction, and the countries were ready to move, and at that time, I had 300,000 elite soldiers in my hands, and I was under the command of General Tian Zhongliang." Mu Changqing raised his head again after speaking, his eyes stayed on Su Ruohan's face, and continued: "The small country on the border has been full of corpses, many people have been displaced, the war is pervasive, spreading, the destruction of a country, but let many people suffer such a disaster, I did move my compassion and secretly helped General Tian Zhongliang, but because of the war, the general died, I was ordered to lead the army to lurk thirty miles south, just to protect the safety of the people, but the war still continues, I have no choice, Protecting one side but unable to protect the other, in the end I still won the support of the small border countries, they wanted to support me to raise troops, but the price was to destroy the Wei State and establish their own country, but I knew that a bloodthirsty emperor did not deserve to have such a country at all, and none of them deserved to have a blood-stained country, at that time...... I was going to fight, but war is cruel after all, and I was afraid of being one of the many corpses, so the day before the battle, I went to look for you. Mu Changqing was recounting his mental struggle before leaving him, and explained how he became the emperor.
Su Ruohan finally lowered his head and met his gaze, but the coldness in his eyes was still very thick.
Mu Changqing sighed and continued: "After Bibo Lake, you and I separated, I finally won more with less, defeated the already precarious Wei State, and raised troops in all directions to recover the small border country, I am afraid you also know what happened later, but Wei has become an empty city, if there is no emperor, I am afraid that the war will still break out, and the people will fall into the disaster caused by a war, so ...... I was commanded in danger. ”
Mu Changqing took her hand, kissed it lightly on the lips, and continued: "I have already explained to you the matter of becoming the emperor, because at that time I had just sat on the throne, and many things had not been dealt with in time, I almost only slept for two hours in those days, but the ministers of the court, the disputes between the front court and the back court, I must make a quick choice, otherwise the civil strife will destroy a country that has just been established, in order to settle the war, but also to repay the favor, I married Tian Ling'er, she is the only daughter of General Tian Zhongliang, is also the only bloodline left, she can contain a force in the court, and the second concubine I married is Gu Tassel. ”
When Su Ruohan heard this familiar name, he immediately had an expression on his face and said, "Gu tassel? She quickly recalled and said casually: "Isn't she married to Wei Haoqi?" At that time, Luan Feng brought her the news, she was very shocked, she thought that there would be no news of Gu Tassel again, but she didn't expect her to become Wei Haoqi's crown princess.
Mu Changqing rarely saw that she was still willing to talk to herself, and then she was overjoyed, and then said: "Yes, she is the crown princess of the former prince, and it is precisely because of her that she has restrained another force." As for Xia Wanyi, you and I both know that she once married Xu Jinghao and became the princess of the three princes of the southern country, but I don't know why, she returned to China and finally transferred to Mu Guo, just so that the two countries could have friendship. ”
Su Ruohan understood everything this time, it turned out that he had experienced so much, and if he had been there, he would have been crushed by so many sudden clamps, but he didn't, and he settled everything very smoothly and quickly. But she couldn't forgive him for hiding it before.
"If you had told me this earlier, why should I worry about you all day." Su Ruohan's voice softened.
Mu Changqing smiled and said, "Forgive me, okay?" Too much of my body is involuntarily, you know, I only have you in my heart. ”
Su Ruohan smiled, but pretended to continue to be angry: "Who knows if what you said is true or false." ”
Mu Changqing raised his hand and swore to the sky, Su Ruohan noticed it and quickly stopped him, and said, "I believe it, I believe it." ”
Mu Changqing got up and took her into his arms, in fact, Su Ruohan knew that Mu Changqing did not betray him, because the people had already spread that Emperor Jing married two concubines who were like flowers, but no one summoned them, and some people even said that this emperor only loves the country and does not love beauty, but the rumors of the people are all true.
"Be my queen." Mu Changqing whispered in her ear.
Su Ruohan felt that what he said was very ridiculous, and hurriedly pushed him and said: "Just now you also said that you weighed the pros and cons of the forces of the two sides, and now if you make a queen, then what you did before will not be in vain, do you want to re-plan, will those ministers bypass you?" ”
Mu Changqing smiled faintly and said, "It turns out that you have forgiven me a long time ago." ”
Su Ruohan's attitude towards him was uninhibited, and then he smiled, but turned his face away and ignored him.
Everything in the house has made the warmth of the sun shine around, and the palace people have already come in to sort out everything, Su Ruohan has no Mu Changqing when he gets up from the bed, and the palace maid on the side said that he has already gone to the court, Su Ruohan is dressed and washed by the palace maid, and everything is like a dream now, she doesn't know whether she forgives him or not, after all, she has no way to ignore the three women around him, one is the daughter of a benefactor, and the other two are women born to clamp down on power.
"Miss." A familiar voice came, but the person who came was Luan Feng, she looked for her everywhere last night, but even though she looked for a long time, there was no news of Miss, until noon today, all the people in the north had already left the palace, and he begged for a long time to be stayed, but he was called to the emperor's bedroom, only then did she see Miss, her hanging heart was put down, but then she was a little worried, did Miss already know everything?
Su Ruohan dismissed everyone and said to Luan Feng: "You have been looking for me for a long time." ”
Luan Feng stepped forward very nervously and said, "Miss, do you know everything?" ”
Su Ruohan nodded and said, "Forsythia, where is it now?" ”
"She is now the female official next to Concubine Duan." Luan Feng told the truth, and told yesterday's events as they were.
"I want to ...... I should have met with the old people. Su Ruohan smiled faintly, although she said so, but in her heart, there were a thousand turns, the women in the backyard, which one of them was not thoughtful, and they also spent a few days together in that secret base, although it was only a few days, it was enough for her to see what kind of person Gu Tassel was.
Su Ruohan's appearance in the palace reflected a lot of aftermath, although no one knew her identity, but everyone was very respectful to her, after all, Emperor Jing took very good care of her, and her appearance naturally attracted Xu Qiushui's attention.
For three days in a row, Su Ruohan stayed at home in Jingyi Pavilion, and heard Luan Feng say that it was snowing outside again, she looked a little lazy, yes, it has been three days, and she hasn't seen Mu Changqing for three days, but every day someone from the palace will come over to tell her about Emperor Jing's itinerary today, calculate this hour, I'm afraid that the palace person will come over again.
Sure enough, I heard the curtain lifted, and then I bent down and came in a palace person, stepped forward, hit a thousand, and said: "Miss Su, today the emperor went to the early court, and now he is in the Yihe ......."
Every day, Su Ruohan knew that Mu Changqing had never rested well in the past few days, because of the powerful relationship between the front court and the back court, she didn't know it, and it was precisely because of this that she would stay for the time being, because she didn't want to let herself become his bond.
"Who benefited from the fact that you came to tell him about his trip every day?" Su Ruohan's voice was not loud or small.
The palace man's face changed, he naturally knew who the woman in front of him was talking about, but he immediately knelt down very respectfully and said, "Naturally, the emperor explained it." ”
"Well, from now on, you don't need to come and tell me about all his itinerary, you can go back to him directly, now is not the time for children to have private affairs."
After hearing this, the palace people kowtowed again, and then turned to leave, but Luan Fengzai didn't understand what his young lady thought.
"Did you hear that? Xu Tianjiao will come over in a few days. Su Ruohan's voice was very soft, but she couldn't see any thoughts.
Luan Feng was taken aback, and then thought that now he is the Son of Heaven, and the princesses from all over the world are naturally sacrifices to fill the backyard, but now it seems that what does his own young lady think? Since there is a relationship between them, why has it been three days, and he hasn't come to see Miss, so many messages have been passed on to Miss.
"She? How would the young lady know about her? ”
Su Ruohan just smiled slightly, and then said: "He will send that palace person over every day to deliver the news, how could I not know this, it's just that I lived in the south before, and I have had several relationships with her." She couldn't forget that Lin Feng in the Yin-Yang Palace at the beginning, he was Xu Tianjiao's secret guard at that time, and now? Will he still be with her?
Su Ruohan got up, stroked the fine folds on his body, and then said, "Come out with me." ”
Luan Feng nodded slightly, then took the cloak on the side and followed her out.
There was already goose feather snow outside, and the big snowflakes were pouring all over the ground, and the feet were loose and soft, but Su Ruohan tightened the fox at her neck, and the soft touch made her feel warm, and then there was a pink umbrella behind her, completely blocking the snowflakes floating in the sky.
Walking all the way, naturally many palace people saluted when they saw her, and only after she walked long, those palace people would gather together and talk one after another.
"Is she that Miss Su? It's so beautiful. ”
"Yes, at first I thought that noble princess of the northern kingdom was the most beautiful, but when I saw her today, no matter how beautiful she was, it was not enough."
"Who says it's not, who is Miss Su, even the emperor loves her well."
Su Ruohan's appearance in the palace became a god-like figure, no one dared to underestimate her, and she was also respected and afraid.
The snowflakes kept falling, as if to fill all the places in the world with white expanse.
There are also palace people on both sides of Yongxiang who are clearing the snow at this moment, leaving a clear and clean ground for people to walk on. The gray tile and white wall and the tall gatehouse shared by the Hui school building, the gatehouse wall has exquisite carving, the carving of the roof is more delicate and beautiful, the whole building has a set of water system that runs through, plus the green trees are shaded and covered by the vast snow, and the mountains echo, so that you have a sense of being in a fairyland.
I don't know how long, I finally stopped in front of a solemn palace, and the bright yellow characters on the plaque were "Chuxiu Palace"!
At this moment, there are also palace maids cleaning the courtyard outside the palace gate, but when they see a very beautiful woman in front of them, the palace maid is also stunned, and then thinks that all the emperor's concubines are in Chuxiu Palace, this person is probably also a relative of which concubine, and then the respectful attitude is gathered again.
"Who are you? Don't you see what's in my way? "The palace maid's attitude is very bad.
Luan Feng was very angry, and stepped forward to theorize, when he heard Su Ruohan's tepid voice sound: "Which lady are you, go and tell me, just say, I want to see Gu Tassel." ”
When the palace maid heard that it was her own mother, she immediately looked at her with a little anger, and then said, "Wait a minute." She was just about to turn her head when Forsythia came over, saw the person who came, and was happy on her face, and then said: "Little ......" She just remembered that this was in the palace, and it was often the wall with ears, and then said: "This young lady, please come with me." So saying, he led her around the maid and towards the courtyard.
Su Ruohan also began to look at the scenery inside this palace, when he first came in, there were a few green pines planted in the courtyard, although he could also have a green scenery in such a solemn season as winter, and then there was a small stone road surrounded by nine turns, followed by the scenery of the garden, the mountains and peaks in the garden, and the vines were covered, which was very elegant. If you want to talk about whether this Chuxiu Palace is big or small, it is nothing in the palace of Mu Kingdom, but when it comes to scenery, it is also one of the best. It can be seen that this Chuxiu Palace is really the place where the concubines live.
Along the way, there were palace maids wearing beautiful blue jackets and green armor everywhere, standing with their hands hanging down in a voice. After seeing Su Ruohan and his entourage, the palace maids all bent their knees and performed the blessing salute. With such strict palace rules, although I don't know who I salute, in the backyard, I see a lot of courtesies for nobles, but it is the way for these ant-like palace maids to survive in the backyard.
Soon Forsythia took them to a palace on the left side of the palace, according to reason, Forsythia should go first to pray, but Su Ruohan took the lead in moving in, the door was a heavy cotton sewn curtain, which was to block the cold wind and snow outside to keep warm.
After entering, there is a small quiet corridor, and then there is a wider and wider living room, this angle to see the past, but a very delicate woman is embroidering behind a screen, her thin shoulders are following the needle in her hand back and forth, you can imagine that she embroidered very carefully.
"Mother." Forsythia's voice sounded, and then he glanced at Su Ruohan, and said, "There is an old man who asks to see him." ”
Gu Liusu's hand moved, then smiled, and said, "Where are the old people in the backyard?" ”
"Sister Liusu."
A voice was very soft, but it was the only emotion in the depths of her memory that involved her, and then she paused, slowly got up, bypassed the screen, but saw her familiar face, with a hint of surprise, and said, "Ruohan." ”
Luan Feng took the lead in taking down the big pin on Su Ruohan's body, and then revealed a pale pink and luxurious dress worn by her internal force, draped in a white gauze coat, revealing a graceful neck and clearly visible collarbones, the pleats of the skirt were like snow and moonlight, flowing lightly on the ground, more than three feet long, making the gait more graceful and soft, three thousand green silk tied up with a hairband, a butterfly hairpin on the head, a wisp of green silk hanging on the chest, thin powder, only adding color, the faint red feeling on the cheeks created a kind of pure skin like petals as delicate and lovely, The whole person is like a butterfly flying in the wind, and it is like a clear and transparent ice and snow......
"Sister Liu Su, it's been a long time." Su Ruohan stepped forward, but saw the incomprehension and confusion in Gu Liusu's eyes, and then said: "I didn't expect that my sister has now become Concubine Su, with such a noble status, my sister should congratulate you." ”
Gu Tassel smiled self-deprecatingly, and said, "At first, I wondered, there is a Miss Su in this palace, the emperor loves her very much, no one has ever seen it, but who knew it was you." Gu Liusu waved his hand, motioned for everyone to go down, and continued: "Where do you not meet in this life, I didn't expect to see you again." ”
"Yes, I just don't know if I can still remember the friendship of Ruoxuan Pavilion when we meet again now."
Gu Tassel was almost vicious, and said, "You don't have amnesia at all, you remember everything, right." Her voice trembled a little, because she couldn't forget that Wei Haoxuan, whose fate was hanging by a thread, said a few words in her ear: "Su Ruohan, it's her ......" Although Wei Haoxuan was taken away before he finished speaking, it was not difficult for her to think of what he was going to say next, yes, how could there be someone else in Ruoxuan Pavilion, if there was, it must be later, and the last person to come in at that time was Su Ruohan, this person she sincerely got along with as a sister, but who knows, it was her!
"Sister Liu Su, you may have forgotten, if you and I are sisters in the Xuan Pavilion, why are you turning your face now?"
Suddenly, Gu Liusu couldn't hold back the anger in her chest anymore, and stepped forward quickly, walking to her side almost instantly, just one step away, "Su Ruohan, it was you who destroyed Ruoxuan Pavilion, and you killed Wei Haoxuan, why!" Why! ”
"How do you know all this?" Her voice paused slightly, and then she said, "Oh, Wei Haoxuan told you." But he won't tell you much, do you know what you were before, do you really think you're just going to be where you are? You are all cultivated as fine works, all of them live like tools, without dignity and humanity, just to transmit the eyes of the people of various countries, a fine work, do you know that if one day your identity is revealed, you will die, and the backing power you believe in will not save you at all, is it just for Wei Haoxuan's favor for you, how ridiculous, you actually paid everything for this. The more Su Ruohan spoke, the more angry he became, and then he said almost angrily: "Stop!" It's still time to hurry. ”
Gu Liusu smiled coldly, almost laughing out of tears, and said, "He is your favorite, you entered Ruoxuan Pavilion, does he know?" Don't you have many secrets in your heart? Even though they love each other, you didn't tell him the truth, did you? In fact, in your bones, you are also using him, aren't you ridiculous! ”
One sentence made Su Ruohan suddenly wake up, yes, she was also using Mu Changqing, if it weren't for him, she wouldn't have given up being able to successfully enter the vine villa at all, but she still gave up, just because she firmly believed that Mu Changqing would avenge her, so she deliberately hid everything, and she just avoided the original scene, but she hid it from him after all.
