I didn't go to King Jing's Mansion with Yun Zheng to go to the form, to mourn the "dead" warm-up, King Jing lost his daughter, and many ministers in the court must go to condolence and greet, I am afraid that I will meet the fake Prime Minister Wei and cause trouble. Although there will definitely be an opportunity to meet in the future, if you can avoid it, you can avoid it, and when you can't avoid it, you can make a plan.

But when he entered the palace for training, he couldn't hide it. Early in the morning, Yun Zheng sent me into the palace, he was a foreign minister, and he was not allowed to enter the palace without an edict, so he only sent me to the palace gate. I took his hand, feeling panicked, the etiquette of the inner court, even if I don't know much, at least I have watched the TV series, and the original son was very miserable by Mama Rong. If those grandmothers want to rectify you, they can definitely make you suffer a big dumb loss within her authority, and they can't say anything about their suffering. Moreover, I didn't know the emperor's real intention of asking me to enter the palace for half a month, and I became more and more worried.

Yun Zheng held my hand and said softly: "Ye'er, I have taken care of the master of ceremonies, you don't have to worry too much, be more cautious yourself, half a month will pass soon." ”

"Hmm." I had to nod and smile, and I didn't want to worry Yun Zheng because of my worries, "You have to be careful yourself, this month's routine is coming soon." ”

Yun Zheng smiled and nodded, and watched me follow the eunuch into the palace gate. Sitting in a sedan chair, I was sent to the master of ceremonies. A grandmother with two palace maids was waiting at the palace gate, and when she saw me get off the sedan chair, she bowed down to me and saluted: "I have seen Mrs. Ronghua, and the slave is the master of ceremonies, Mama Qin, who is responsible for the etiquette training of Mrs. for half a month." ”

"Mama doesn't have to be polite." I hurriedly helped her, "Mama is an old man in the palace, don't be so polite." As he spoke, he took off a white jade bracelet from his hand and handed it to her, "Mama, I don't understand the rules of the palace, and I will rely on Mama to bother with guidance in the future." ”

Yun Zheng told me a long time ago that this Mama Qin has been responsible for teaching the inner court etiquette of the inner women, princesses, and princesses since the first emperor, and she is also very qualified in the palace. Although Yun Zheng has already given a lot of money to the master of ceremonies, this Mama Qin is mainly responsible for teaching me, and I want her to be nice to me, so I naturally have to be extra polite to her

Mama Qin's face was very calm, she generously accepted the bracelet and smiled: "Madam is too polite, this is the duty of a slave." ”

The next etiquette training is indeed cumbersome and strict, sitting must have a sitting phase, standing must have a standing phase, sleeping must have a sleeping phase, even laughing, it is also strictly stipulated to stretch the lips a few points, how to salute, how to bend the knees, there are strict exquisite. But it's not as strict as I imagined, it should be the silver sent out by Yun Zheng that has played a role, I want to suffer less guilt, and I also study seriously, usually three or four times, and Mama Qin will let me pass. Still, at the end of the first day, I was so tired that my whole body ached.

The master of ceremonies arranged for two palace maids to serve, and I gave them two small pieces of jewelry to bribe, and the concentration of the two was obviously not as good as Mama Qin, with joy in their eyes, and they waited very thoughtfully. The first day passed without danger, and the trepidation in my heart calmed a little. The second day was no different from the first day, and I didn't criticize me for training, but I still sweated after doing the prescribed movements. At the end of the training, I asked the palace maid to prepare a hot bath for me, and after taking a shower, I felt that the soreness in my body was relieved.

Just after changing her shirt, the palace maid brought a eunuch in: "The slave has seen Mrs. Ronghua." ”

"Father-in-law, please get up." I hurriedly said, "What's the matter with my father-in-law?" ”

"Madam, the Queen Mother wants to see Madame, please ask Madame to go with the minions." The eunuch laughed.

"The Queen Mother wants to see me?" I was surprised in my heart, why did the Queen Mother see me? I hurriedly took the reward silver and gave it to him, and said with a smile: "Thank you, father-in-law, father-in-law Xie led the way." ”

He took me out, and I hesitated all the way, and finally couldn't help but ask softly: "Does my father-in-law know why the Queen Mother wants to see me?" ”

He smiled respectfully: "Madam, we as slaves don't dare to speculate on the master's intentions, Madame will know when she goes." ”

He took me to a courtyard, outside the courtyard guarded by guards, there were no superfluous people in the courtyard, it was very quiet, and a short distance inside, there was a palace, and there was no eunuch and palace maid guarding the door. The eunuch who led the way led me to the door and said in a loud voice, "Master Qi, Mrs. Ronghua has brought me." Then he turned his head to me and smiled at me, "Mrs. Ronghua, you can go in by yourself." ”

I trespied into the room, and the door was closed. The room was furnished like a study, and a person sitting behind a desk on the right side raised his eyes faintly when he saw me come in. When I saw him, I was slightly stunned, sighed in my heart, knelt on the ground and saluted: "The concubine sees the emperor." ”

There was no one else in the room, and I knelt on the ground. The emperor has no legitimate reason to summon his wife, and he is not in line with the courtesy, no wonder he wants to pretend to be in the name of the queen mother, I don't know what his intentions are, but I am secretly vigilant in my heart. He didn't say anything to get me up, and I didn't dare to get up, so I had to kneel honestly according to the etiquette taught by Mama Qin in the past two days, bowing my head and saying nothing.

After a while, I heard his voice that he couldn't hear the joy and anger: "You have learned the etiquette well." ”

"The concubines dare not live up to the emperor's kindness, and they should do their best." I replied with a bowbrow in my eyes.

"Really?" He snorted softly, then fell silent again. The atmosphere was unsettling, and I bit my lower lip nervously, and only after a while did I hear him say lightly, "Get up." ”

"Your Majesty." When I stood up, my knees were slightly numb, and it was not good to rub them in front of the emperor, so I had to endure it and let the soreness slowly subside.

Stand still, hang your head and say nothing. He didn't speak, I didn't know what to say, and in the face of this deep and unfathomable man in front of me, silence was the best way to respond to change.

"Why do you keep hanging your head?" He said lightly, "Don't you dare to look at me? ”

"The emperor is mighty, and the concubines don't dare to face Long Yan." I carefully responded to the official question and answer, "It is against the courtesy of the monarch and the minister." ”

"Don't follow me like that!" The Emperor's tone was filled with forbearance of anger, "You know the etiquette now, give me a head up and speak." ”

I sighed helplessly and looked up at him. His face was expressionless, except for a flash of anger in his eyes, which was fleeting. I said cautiously: "I don't know what happened to the emperor's concubines?" ”

He glanced at me, stood up, walked to the side and sat down on the soft couch, "Come here." ”

I hesitated, took two steps forward and stopped, and he looked up at me: "Sit down and play a game of chess with me." ”

"Your Majesty, the concubines don't know how to play Go." I saw his gaze sweeping sharply, and quickly said, "You know that." ”

The look in his eyes softened, and I remembered that when I was in the General's Mansion, under the Luoying tree, I used backgammon to solve the problem of not being able to play chess, and it seemed that he also remembered, "Sit down, we don't play Go." ”

I stepped forward and sat down across from him, my eyes falling on the dwarf, slightly stunned, and my heart suddenly tightened. There is a pair of chess on the low table, not Go, but it is the bead checkers I asked Grandpa Fu to do in Cangdu, of course, not the ones made by Grandpa Fu, but the style is the same, it seems that the old man is right, I am staring at every move in Cangdu.

He looked at my reaction, saw that my expression was stunned, and the corners of his lips hooked: "I heard that you invented this game." ”

I came back to my senses and saw that the emperor was looking at me fixedly, and smiled: "The concubines will only make some small toys to bluff the children, so that the emperor will laugh." ”

"Bluffing children's play? Not necessarily, don't Yongle Hou and Yun Shizi boast that it can expand their thinking? The Emperor narrowed his eyes, meaning something.

I was more and more frightened, but I was relieved that the emperor was naturally not the only one staring at me. I looked at him and smiled faintly: "How can the emperor take those words that are just my family spoiling me and making me happy." ”

"Really?" His eyes flashed, "It seems that the Yun family treats you well." ”

"Yes." I nodded, "They gave me a home." ”

"Home?" He looked at me silently, "Is this what you want?" ”

There was a moment when I felt that he was soft, and at this moment he was no longer the emperor, but the person who used to sit under the Luoying tree, Yu Gongzi, who allowed me to open my mind. I looked at him quietly and smiled, "Yes, this has always been what I wanted. Looking at his fierce eyes, I whispered: "When I was a child, my mother told me a story about how she said that men and women sleep together after marriage, and their hair is entangled, and they have a married couple. So, I have had a dream since I was a child, to keep this long hair, find the person who helped me with my hair, and stay with me for the rest of my life. ”

There was a strange sparkle in his eyes, with surprise, abruptness, shock, and a hint of joy. I looked into his eyes and knew that he had understood the thrill and surprise he had brought me when he curled my hair in the first place. He opened his lips to speak, and I didn't wait for him to speak, and then continued: "But later, I found out that it was actually a kind of paranoia on my partigo. Is the form of the curling hair more important, or is that person more important? I shouldn't be judging anything by curling my hair, as long as I find someone who can stay with me for the rest of my life, he can do it for me. ”

His gaze sank and he looked at me silently, and the soft atmosphere gradually became cold. I sighed in my heart, Yu Gongzi is gone, and the emperor is back. "Since you're doing well now, you have to be blessed." The emperor's tone contained a hint of unclear emotion, "Yun Shizi's health has always been bad, and it is difficult for these people to come and go, you have to take good care of him." I was stunned, and then I realized that this was his warning to me and the Yun family, and he would not allow the Yun family to have two hearts. These words, the situation of Yunfu and people, I am afraid that it is all in the eyes of the emperor, the eldest brother of the Wei family lives in the Ninth Master's Mansion, he naturally classifies him as the Ninth Master's person, we have been to the Jingwang Mansion, maybe the matter of warming up, he also knows seventy-seven-eighty-eight. In his eyes, he would only feel that Yun Zheng would contact the forces in Beijing everywhere as soon as he returned to Beijing, and he was giving a warning now, did he want me to convey his meaning to the Yun family?

"Your Majesty, my grandson is frail, he looks down on the world, and his concubine is a woman, and there is no great retribution, I just want a peaceful life, and my wish is fulfilled." I said calmly, met his eyes, and firmly revealed a message, worrying about the Yun family is unfounded, and you have too much heart.

He smiled faintly, obviously not believing me: "Ye Haihua, is it your real name?" ”

My heart sank, is it finally coming? Interrogation of my background. The Yun family reported to the imperial court, my information is only a few numbers, and the language is unknown, "Yunmen Ye's sea flower, eighteen years old, the capital people's family, virtuous and wise, and the surname is dignified." "No relatives, no reason, no past, anyone thinks it's strange, when I married Yun Zheng, the time was in a hurry, and it was reported afterwards, probably the old man was also afraid that this pass would not pass the emperor's pass, so he cut it first and then played, and the emperor could endure it until now before he pursued it, and it was not easy.

"So to speak." I looked up at him, and finally I had to make up that set of nonsense to make up people.

"So to speak?" He looked at me dissatisfied, "What do you mean?" ”

"The emperor knows what happened to me before, and I don't hide it from the emperor, I don't know what happened to me before, all my memories started from the Red Mansion, and I don't remember anything about the past." I told the lie calmly, but my heart was pounding, fortunately there was no such thing as a lie detector in ancient times, otherwise I would have appeared on the spot, "Carmen's name is the name of the fallen Qinglou, since I left the Qinglou, I changed this name to myself, the emperor said that it is my real name, and there is nothing inappropriate, because I don't know what I used to be called." ”

"Don't remember the past?" His expression did not change, but the sentence was spoken very slowly, as if suppressing anger, "How do I know if it's true or not?" ”

I heard him angry, and my heart was shocked, so I quickly got up and knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, what the concubines said is the truth, there is no lie, the emperor doesn't believe it, you can ask someone to investigate, in fact, I want to know more than you who I used to be." ”

"Investigation?" With a flick of the emperor's hand, he brushed the beads on the low table to the ground, and there was a "bang" sound, and the beads jumped to the ground, and he said hatefully, "You really can't find out your bottom when I can't find out your details?" ”

"Your Majesty......" I raised my head, opened my eyes wide, and looked at him steadily, and after a while, tears appeared in my eyes, and I bit my lip to prevent tears from slipping out of my eyes, so I looked at his eyes sadly. A few complicated emotions flashed in the emperor's eyes, and he turned his head and suppressed his anger: "That's it, you kneel down." ”

I saluted and stepped out of the room, only to let out a soft breath. This calculation has finally passed for the time being, I just bet on luck, bet on whether the emperor will be a little soft-hearted to me, and I am very lucky, I won the bet. The tears in my eyes are gone, but fortunately I know that if I keep my eyes open for a long time, my eyes will cry when they are sore, otherwise the expression just now is really not convincing. Silently walked out of the courtyard, the autumn breeze was blowing on my body, and it was a little cold. In the corner of the wall, a lonely little white chrysanthemum shrank and bloomed in the autumn wind.
