Chapter 47: The Burning Heart

At this moment, the capital is already full of snow, and the golden glazed tiles of the palace are also covered with white snow. There was a tense atmosphere everywhere in the palace, and the concubines of the harem were in a panic all day long, because the emperor's condition had further aggravated, and the beautiful concubines had no intention of dressing up, waiting sadly for what their future would be like after the death knell rang? Is it going to a temple to practice? Or is it a burial?

Not only the concubines in the palace were afraid, but the palace maids and eunuchs were also very nervous. Because, according to custom, there will always be a large number of palace maids and eunuchs who will be arranged for burial. After all, the emperor needs to be served when he goes to another world. In addition to the funeral, there is also a rule that I don't know whether it is good or bad, the emperor dies, and a group of elderly palace maids and eunuchs must be released in the palace. After the new emperor ascended the throne, a group of palace maids and eunuchs would also be released for the sake of Enga.

After staying in the deep palace for a long time, many people are afraid to go out, and there are also many people who are tired of the life in the palace and yearn for the outside of the palace, so everyone has a mind and wants to go to the palace. At this time, there are three places in the palace that are most crowded. One is the queen's bedroom, the other is the stone emperor's concubine, and the other is the east palace. Now it is these three powerful people who can save them and fulfill their wishes.

The queen was impatient with these troublesome things, and handed them over to the palace maid Yu'er to handle. Shihuang Guifei has always been cautious, and she always politely refuses ordinary requests, but for the people who have helped her before, she carefully plans for these people, and is ready to ask the queen for permission.

In the East Palace, the crown princess is already a candidate for the future queen. Even, in accordance with Empress Chen's will, the emperor and the crown princess of the crown prince and the princess, the empress dress has already begun to be made. This reverberated a lot inside and outside the palace, but no one raised objections. Even those old pedants, rotten Confucians, and sharp-tongued imperial historians have no opinion, because this is what the emperor meant.

There are many people coming and going in the palace of the crown princess, for this future mistress of the court. There are too many people who stammer her. The crown princess coped with it very well. The advantages of being born in a family are unmistakable. At this point, even the crown prince Liu Yan felt very satisfied.

The queen took a nap and got up, and while cleaning her hands under the service of the little palace maid, she asked the big palace maid Yu'er, "How is the emperor today?" ”

Yu'er hurriedly replied, "It snowed heavily today. The weather is even colder. The emperor's body is also not good. The imperial doctor also said that the situation was not very good. ”

The queen was expressionless, waved her hand, and the little palace maid she served went down. Only the big palace maid Yu'er was left to serve. The queen sat down at the dresser, looking in the mirror and still maintaining her gorgeous face. Yu'er, the palace maid, stepped forward very cleverly, picked up the grate, and combed the queen's hair.

The queen said, "Give me a charming hairstyle today." Use the same set of red gold and pearl jewelry I had last time I had someone put in the top clip. Well, also, paint me a plum blossom makeup, which is the right time. Also, put on the newly made, Nanyang gold plum blossom dew big clothes. After you are done, you go to the prince's east palace in person, find the prince, and secretly give him something, which is the small jade Ruyi placed in the mezzanine of the makeup clip. ”

Yu'er's hand shook. The queen glanced at her, and her eyes were unusually sharp. Yu'er hurriedly answered, calmed down, and began to serve the queen attentively to comb her hair, put on makeup, and dress. After all the qiē was done, the queen looked at the big full-length mirror repeatedly, smiled slightly, and a beauty in the mirror also laughed.

The queen said, "What a good day it is. The day I entered the Prince's Mansion was the same good day, it was also such heavy snow, it was also so pure, and it was so moving. Go ahead and give the things into the hands of the prince with your own hands. ”

Yu'er hurriedly bowed her head and took the small jade Ruyi that could be hidden in the palm of her hand and was crystal clear throughout, and hurriedly walked to the East Palace.

Although the queen didn't say anything specifically, the smart Yu'er still knew that the dream that the queen had been preparing for many years was about to come true today. The token to realize this dream is this small jade Ruyi.

For this important day, for today, the queen has been waiting for a long time. Like a diligent farmer, she planted the seeds little by little, watered them diligently, and now it was finally time to harvest. In order to harvest, the queen mother specially made that set of plum blossom dew clothes. The dress is the best top satin newly produced in Nanyang, and there is a plum blossom picture written by a famous artist all over the gold, wearing that dress, it looks incomparably gorgeous, incomparably dignified, and incomparably elegant.

The jewelry that accompanied the outfit was also specially created by the masters of Jinyutang. It is made of the best large pearls of the South Seas, and the red gold is fused with the finest gold ingots sent out from the palace.

That set of jewelry, very complete, are all kinds of plum blossom shapes, hairpins, flowers, collars, bracelets, distractions, top hairpins, tail hairpins, etc., a full set, the weight is not clear. But it looks good when you wear it. Preparing these, Niangniang didn't bother less.

But these are secondary, the most important is this jade Ruyi that has been put for many years.

This jade ruyi was also placed by Yu'er herself in the mezzanine of the queen's mother's makeup clip. That's a couple of years. Well, the specific number of years, Yu'er can't remember clearly, it seems that the prince put it when he was preparing to marry the crown princess. Now the emperor's eldest grandson can already study.

This day came very difficult, she accompanied Queen Chen to today, it was really difficult, but today is a break, a bumper harvest day, and a terrifying day. I have to look at the jade Ruyi in my hand.

While hurriedly walking towards the East Palace, I met palace maids and eunuchs from time to time on the way. When they saw that they were all busy saluting, many of them showed a flattering smile. Now she is above 10,000 people under one person, and the henchman of the queen mother is the crown prince, and the imperial concubine has to salute her a little when she sees her. Not to mention these eunuchs and palace maids.

They were all scrambling to get her in the first place. Some hope to be promoted, some hope to leave the palace, some are afraid to leave the palace, and some are afraid of being arrested and martyred. Regarding the funeral, in fact, Yu'er has already drawn up a list. It's all some Su Ri who doesn't deal with her much. These people may be something she doesn't like recently, it may be that she suspects which concubine's eyeliner, it may be that she suspects that she was bribed by the minister, and it may be someone who has an enmity with her decades ago when she was a little palace maid.

Of course, this list is secret, and she doesn't want to announce it now, but the moment the emperor breathes, naturally this list will be announced. She has single-handedly controlled so many lives.

Thinking of this, Yu'er's footsteps paused slightly, she looked at the outline of the West Mountain in the distance, I don't know why, the West Mountain after the snow still looks very beautiful.

Yu'er continued on her way. Back then, as a little palace maid, she had many friends and enemies, some people bullied her, and some people helped her. There are good sisters involved in the palace struggle, and there are no bones left, and some people are so prosperous that they even become concubines.

She herself has encountered danger several times, the biggest danger, she has been pulled to the violent room, dying, it was Queen Chen who saved her.

She clearly remembered that after she recovered, she went to thank Empress Chen, who was still a concubine who was indifferent to the emperor in the Wenxiang Pavilion at that time. Empress Chen said to her, "If you are tired of life in the palace, I can send you out of the palace." With my Chen family sheltering, you will definitely be able to live well outside the palace. ”

Yu'er believed Empress Chen's words. If at that time, she chose to leave the palace, thinking that she was already a maid in the Chen Mansion, and when she reached the age of marriage, she was released by the master, and she became a housekeeper with a small servant or a housekeeper, and lived a peaceful life. It may also be that the Chen family gave her the status of a good citizen and found her a small family in the capital, so that she could live a dull life. Don't worry about someone bullying them, because the Chen family will be her backer. This should be a good way to live.

However, back then, she replied without hesitation: "I want to stay in the palace and ask my mother to take me in." I'll sell my life to my mother. ”

There is another sentence at the end, as long as the mother can achieve my wish.

Needless to say, Empress Chen also understands. She is the most forbearant and wise woman in the world. She knows all about Yu'er.

Although Yu'er was just a little palace maid at that time, after experiencing so many things, she was burdened with the blood feud of her sisters, the feelings she couldn't let go, the people she wanted to burn her life and take revenge, and the people she had to pay and take care of.

Empress Chen nodded, at that time, she was not as gorgeous and generous and luxurious as she is now, she was sad at that time, she was lonely, and she was almost swallowed up by hatred.

Since then, she has become Empress Chen's confidant. She has done a lot of things for Empress Chen, and she has even done a lot of things without conscience. She didn't hesitate at all, she did it with determination. She just wanted to succeed.

has experienced countless ups and downs, used countless conspiracies and tricks, and sacrificed countless lives like flowers. Finally, Empress Chen became the master of the harem, and she became a palace maid above ten thousand people under one person. But she wasn't blinded by power. is like Queen Chen, even if she became a queen, she did not forget her original intention, and forgot her little jade Ruyi.

Yu'er didn't forget jì, on this day, she was looking forward to the same, and she had already finished everything that should be over. The hatred of her sisters back then, she has vividly avenged back in recent years. The family members left by the sisters have also been taken care of for many years outside the palace, and they have purchased a small property for them and settled them down. As for their future paths, she can't care so much.

Her own family, she also settled. Now she had to do that last thing and she could have peace of mind. Even if you die, you can calm down, and you don't have to burn your heart day and night. (To be continued......)
