Chapter 19: Twilight
July who was watching on the side couldn't help crying, she used to hate him, but when she entered the hall and saw him crumbling and muddy, her heart felt like she had been pricked by a needle, maybe this is the best explanation for blood being thicker than water.
The cold wind outside the hall was blowing, as if to tell the unusualness of this dark night, and Yuan Zhi guarded like a guard, waiting for Twilight to come out of hell.
After a moment of silence, July said, "Daddy, July doesn't blame you. β
A word of no wonder made Twilight completely unable to control his mood, since Ning Ning's death, he has never been as happy and happy as today.
"Father, I shouldn't stay long, you should know what you should do."
Making sure Twilight understood what she meant, she turned to leave, and when she reached the door, she suddenly turned around and said, "Daddy, my daughter loves you!" β
A gust of wind ran out of the Heart Cultivation Palace, and at that moment, her whole body exuded cold air, and the corners of her mouth smiled and said to Yuan Zhi: "Father-in-law, please take good care of my father." β
With a slight smile on the corner of her mouth, Yuan Zhi knew that his master was well and recovered, but it could be seen that the princess didn't want anyone to know, he was among countless people every day, and he was the most popular person around the emperor, and he had already seen the keen changes in the court.
He knew that only the little princess could wake up the master, but he never waited for the little princess to return.
In July, she left the Heart Cultivation Palace and went back to the Zigui Palace where she lived, and she had not eaten, she was already hungry, so she picked up the rice bowl offered by Gardenia Ling and pulled out two mouthfuls of rice before slowing down.
"Well, it's a good dish." I sandwiched a piece of jade tofu and tasted it, and I thought it was pretty good.
Because the food was delicious, July ate more than usual, which caused her to eat too much.
"Spirit, do you think I'm going to be the only princess who walks around the yard instead of sleeping at night," July asked self-deprecatingly as she walked.
Although she doesn't like the oppressive atmosphere in the palace, she still has a lot of nostalgia for this yard where she grew up, and she doesn't feel upset and irritable after walking around the yard several times, if it is somewhere else, she is definitely unwilling.
Tonight's moonlight is particularly charming, and the breeze caresses lightly, which not only does not feel cool, but also makes people extremely comfortable.
July is happy tonight, but that doesn't mean that others will be infected by her.
"Mother, the slut in July is back again, didn't you say she won't come back?" Xiao Guifei Xiao Jiawan's daughter Du Qing asked unabashedly, she has become more and more lawless since she was a child under Xiao Guifei's pampering, especially when she is not in the palace for more than seven months this year, she is not afraid of heaven and earth.
Now that I heard that July was back, I didn't dare to go to Zigui Palace to explore the truth, so I had to go to Concubine Xiao to be coquettish.
Xiao Jiawan is having a headache about returning to the palace in July at the moment, and now there is a noisy Twilight, and she feels like a swarm of bees "buzzing" in her head.
I couldn't bear it anymore, and yelled with a hideous face: "You dead girl, don't make trouble." β
Twilight was scared like a little rabbit with a lost soul, and he didn't even dare to speak, so he hurriedly covered his mouth with his hand.
Xiao Jiawan, who calmed down, seemed to realize her gaffe, and saw her daughter who was scared like a rabbit, and immediately hated iron and steel: "Okay, look at what you are scared of, what is so scary." β
No matter how unhappy she was, she was born from her belly, so Mei Jun picked several good things and sent her back.
What Xiao Jiawan didn't know was that after her fright, Twilight would think that she was not her mother, she was a devil pretending, and she didn't like her more and more, and even got better with July, she felt that her mother was more terrible than July.
The queen is not as easy to solve here as Xiao Jiawan.
"Niangniang, Ning Ning is dead, she is a princess in July, and there is no threat to us, so why do you risk getting rid of her?" Tao Si was afraid that his master's madness would cause other turmoil, so he tried his best to persuade him.
The queen even killed Ning Ning as a result of impulse, and finally caused an irreparable situation, for July, it is really possible to kill or not, but I don't know why, every time I see her, I have a desire to kill her with my own hands.
"What can I do, who made her look so much like her mother, I can't help it."
The queen said her reasons very domineeringly.
"But...... But ......" Tao Si still wanted to say something, but she didn't know what to say.
"Okay, don't talk about it, let's talk about this later, what about the eldest princess?" Ning Die has always called the eldest princess of Ningzi in private, and she will never call her the title Princess Zi, and she will be angry when she hears this title.
"The eldest princess is out of the palace today and has returned"
After listening to Qu Si's words, she finally had a smile on her face and said, "That's good, as long as our Ah Zi wins Yang Liuyu, I'm afraid that he Yang Ge Lao won't support Xi'er." β
This is a ploy by Ning Guogong Ning Yuan to the queen, although Yang Ge Lao is no longer in the court, but his protΓ©gΓ©s are all over the world, as long as he is collected, it is equivalent to collecting most of the literati in the world for Duxi.
This plan is very interesting to the queen and Duxi, and even the beauty plan has been used, but this time it can't be as they wished, Yang Ge Lao's grandson Yang Liuyu has already returned to the July faction, and even Yang Ge Lao has been persuaded by him.
Leng Dusk, who returned to Jin State, did encounter a lot of trouble, Emperor Leng Yang became suspicious of him, he had to stay in Handu without leaving, because he was being monitored, he didn't know what went wrong, but he knew that it would never be the person next to him.
The life of drunken dreams and death every day makes him miss July even more, and misses the more than a year that the two have been together, and he constantly wants how good it would be for them to be together forever.
I don't know if July will forgive myself, why didn't I leave a note at that time, but regret is useless, I just hope that person can lift the surveillance of himself as soon as possible.
No matter how much Leng Twilight thinks about July, July can't feel it, and he's been so busy lately that he doesn't have time to think about him.
Three days after returning to the palace in July, the Empress Dowager finally woke up after sleeping for many days, and the first thing she said after waking up was: July.
As soon as I heard that the Empress Dowager was awake and was looking for her, although she was a little flustered, she quickly calmed down and instructed Gardenia Ling: "Go to the Heart Cultivation Palace quickly and inform my father." β
July's every move was seen by Jing Sheng, and he looked at this princess more and more, it seems that the Empress Dowager is right, Tang Du's future will be more prosperous and go further in the hands of Princess Xiaoyang.
After finishing his words, he ran into the main hall of Jingkang Palace with a spirit of anxiety.
"Grandma, grandma, July is coming."
Running all the way, she said, when she ran to the bed, the Queen Mother, who knew that she was coming, grabbed her hand and looked at her gently and carefully for a long time and said, "Yes, it's my July back." β
Empress Ning pushed Twilight, who was standing beside her, and motioned for her to hurry up and let the Empress Dowager notice her.
She twisted and pinched the twilight for a long time and made up her mind, and she swayed to the side of the empress dowager and wiped the ground slightly before kneeling down and saying: "Grandma, I am Twilight, Zi'er worships the Buddha three times a day just to pray for grandma to be healthy, it seems that Zi'er's filial piety touched the Bodhisattva, you are really getting better." β
Hearing her daughter's sincere and extravagant words, Queen Ning not only felt ashamed, but also felt how smart her daughter was, and even glanced at Xiao Guifei, who was not far from her, provocatively.
Xiao Guifei saw the displeasure in the Empress Dowager's eyebrows when Dui Zi spoke, otherwise she could not let Du Qing go up to steal the limelight, and secretly thought: This stupid woman, I don't even know how she died later.
"The mourning family can wake up because they feel that we are back in July, what do you have to do with it, and this grandmother is also something you can scream, there is no respect and etiquette at all, and I don't know how the queen taught you." His eyes were full of disgust, and even if his body was bad, he endured a breath and humiliated her severely.
Twilight never thought it would be such a result, she was stunned in front of the couch and didn't react, where did she suffer such a grievance, since she was a child, her mother and brother held her in the palm of her hand, although Twilight Qing was her sworn enemy, but she never put her in her eyes, what is there to pay attention to as a concubine.
Now that she has been disgraced in front of so many people, most of the people with higher positions in the harem are there, especially her nemesis Twilight, she can't wait to find a crack and get into it directly.
The queen's smiling face collapsed directly, and after a while, she regained her smile, but said a little stiffly: "The Empress Dowager, your old man is really joking, Zi'er is your granddaughter, and she should be called your grandmother!" β
Although she was angry, she still had to show her nobility and generosity in front of so many people.
The Empress Dowager's face turned cold suddenly, and she said aggressively: "She can't afford the word in-law, if you want to say that my old woman is only the great-granddaughter of the in-law." β
"Ahem, cough, could it be that the queen you forgot about eight years ago, your title is Empress Ning Anyuan, and the queen mother Ning Ning, who died in July, is Empress Ning Jiayan, why, after a long time, I can't tell the difference between Yan and Yuan?"
Sentence by word, word by word, pierced into the queen's heart, this is her only regret and joke.
Every time she couldn't help but let herself touch this scar and this matter, what she didn't expect was that today the Queen Mother would put this matter back in the sun without warning in front of so many concubines.
How she wanted the Empress Dowager to die, but she couldn't.
She didn't feel that the eyes of the people around her looked at her with color and contempt, she couldn't stand it, and even left the Jingkang Palace with Dusk in a hurry, regardless of the etiquette that she was usually proud of.
Among those who watched the excitement, Twilight Qing was the most enjoyable, it turned out that this was the case, it was not like her own mother at all, she cautiously peeked at Xiao Jiawan, and found that she was sinister laughing, and she decided in her heart that she was not her own mother.
