Chapter 50: The Deep Palace
She squatted down, and her cold hand stroked Ling Ruo's tear-stained face, "Shi Qiuci's heart is harder than yours, and she can see it more clearly than you; She understands that she is not as beautiful as you, as long as you are in the palace for a day, she will suppress her for a day, so she can't allow you to enter the palace. ”
When Concubine Rong learned that Qiu Ci had been selected and had been named a Jing noble, she sighed faintly, "That's why I don't want to tell you, with Shi Qiu Porcelain's intentions, it is inevitable that she will be selected, as long as she is on the king's side, even if it is just a promise, it is different from a monarch and a minister to you, and you can't deal with her at all." ”
Ling Ruo bit her lip tightly, refusing to let go even if she tasted the salty smell of blood in her mouth, and all the pain and tears were endured by her throat.
"Go back, forget what I said, An Ansheng will be your character, An Ansheng will live the rest of his life, don't think about anything, the more you think, the more pain you will have." Concubine Rong said, and she was also full of emotion in her heart, if she had been peaceful and free of contention back then, maybe it would not be such an ending today.
"Don't think about it?" Ling Ruo muttered these three words, ten fingers under the sleeves were tightly curled up in the palm of her hand, and there were traces of crimson dripping from the palm, she knew that what Concubine Rong said was right, her status was very different from that of Qiu Ci, even if she was unwilling, what could she do, she couldn't threaten her at all, but if she wanted to act as if nothing had happened, she really couldn't do it, she couldn't do it......
Tears kept falling, like a kite with a broken string, the hatred in her heart could not be calmed under this endless teardrop, she knew that she entered the palace for her family to live better, and she had no desire to compete for favor, still ignoring the past feelings, secretly calculating. The sisterhood she has always cherished turned out to be nothing more than a tool that can be used in her eyes.
Hateful! Hateful! As long as he thought of that hypocritical woman, Ling Ruo almost vomited blood with hatred, and his hands curled up in his sleeves couldn't help but tighten, until a slight sound came from his palms,
Looking at Ling Ruo's hateful face, Concubine Rong seemed to see herself not long ago, and she was also so resentful and hateful, they were all pitiful people, in fact, there was no woman in the world who was not pitiful!
Thinking like this, she couldn't help but sympathize with Ling Ruo a little more, and said softly: "The tiger is not harmful, but people are harmful to the tiger's heart, this is a world where the weak eat the strong, and the Forbidden City is even more so, eat a trench and grow wise, this matter should be a lesson, don't trust people easily in the future, keep an eye on everything, you ......"
Speaking of this, Concubine Rong saw Ling Ruo's spread palm eyelids jump slightly and stopped the words, the palm that was originally as white as jade was now staggered with blood, and the blood continued to ooze out of the wound, hideous and terrifying, and a few pieces of nails were broken in the palm, and the blood-stained broken nails made people's hearts palpitate.
"I can take the betrayal of others as a lesson, but she can't! I'm going to make her pay for it!" Feeling the pain coming from his palms and fingers at the same time, Ling Ruo wiped away the tears on his face and said word by word, his expression extremely firm.
Concubine Rong knew that it was useless to persuade her to do anything, so she just shook her head and said: "What can you do even if you hate her, she is the person around the emperor, whether she is favored or not, it is not something you can deal with." "The favored concubines are naturally high up and no one dares to offend, even if they fall out of favor, they are still forbidden people, and they are still masters.
Watching the broken armor fall from the palm of his hand to the dusty ground, Ling Ruo coldly spat out a voice that even he felt terrifying, "Not being able to do now doesn't mean that it won't be possible in the future, I can wait, I can wait for a year, ten years, twenty years." ”
"Why do you bother, when will there be an end to retribution, even if it takes ten or twenty years, she is still a Jing nobleman and even a Jing concubine and a concubine, unless she ......" The latter words stopped abruptly, because it was a great disrespect and even a great crime of rebellion.
"Unless what?" Although he is not in a hurry, he has to have a way, where can he think of it for a while, at this moment, Concubine Rong seems to have a way to ask quickly.
Concubine Rong just hesitated for a moment and was relieved, now she has nothing to be afraid of, and the first one who didn't dare to say anything was probably Ling Ruo, and said solemnly at the moment: "If you want to deal with Jing Guiren, unless the old emperor dies and the new emperor ascends the throne, and the successor has to be the fourth elder brother, it will be impossible for you to deal with her in your life." ”
Once Kangxi died, Qiu Ci became a concubine, although there is still a concubine, but there is no status at all, and can no longer live in the original palace, and move to Shou'an Palace with all the concubines. If Yinzhen can succeed to the throne as emperor, even if Ling Ruo is just a nobleman, it is enough for her to survive and not die.
Yinzhen ...... Enthronement ......
Ling Ruowan didn't expect that Concubine Rong would say such rebellious words in the eyes of others, coveting the throne is a big crime, not to mention that the saint has already set up a prince today, and there are eldest elder brothers, third elder brothers, and eighth elder brothers in terms of virtuous names under the crown prince, so it is not Yinzhen's turn to sit on the supreme throne. What's more, this kind of inheritance related to the national fortunes of the Qing Dynasty, she is a little woman who has no room for interference at all, and even as long as she shows a flaw, she will die without a place to be buried.
But what Concubine Rong said was right, in addition, she had no chance to deal with Qiu Ci at all, the vermilion city wall of the Forbidden City was like an unbridgeable chasm, isolating her and Qiu Ci into two people in the world.
Concubine Rong was not so much telling her a way, but persuading her to give up her unrealistic ideas, the throne would not fall on Yinzhen's head at all, and her revenge would naturally become a joke.
Seeing that Ling Ruo had already wavered, Concubine Rong was about to persuade a few more words, when she suddenly saw that the woman in simple clothes had changed her helpless appearance and made a big salute to herself, Qing Yue's firm voice sounded in her ears as promised, "Thank you Concubine for guiding me through the maze." ”
Looking at her extremely stubborn face, Concubine Rong lost her mind for a moment, and a seemingly absurd thought came to her heart, perhaps...... Maybe after many years, this seemingly weak woman can really influence the change of imperial power.
She shook her head and put this unrealistic idea behind her, hooked the corners of her lips without a trace of blood, and said: "It seems that you won't listen to what I say, it's just that the road is your own choice, and whether it's a blessing or a curse is left to fate." It's getting late, so go back. ”
Ling Ruo was also afraid that Yinzhen was waiting outside in a hurry, not to mention that he had already asked what he was thinking. At the moment, he owed a debt, the tassel hung down, and said with an indescribable complexity: "The concubine has retired, and if there is a chance to visit the concubine again in the future." ”
Although the person who deposed her was Rong Guifei, the culprit was Shi Qiuci, if she didn't tell her, even if Rong Guifei didn't want to let her enter the palace, she couldn't find a reason to dethrone her. What's more, after listening to Concubine Rong's words, Ling Ruo sympathized with her more than resentment, and she was pitiful after all......
Future...... Concubine Rong looked at Ling Ruo who turned around and left in a daze, the palace gate was opened again, it was already sunset twilight at this moment, and the colorful sunset on the horizon was like the red twisted gold silk embroidered bird auspicious dress she wore when she sealed the concubine, how beautiful she was at that time, it is not an exaggeration to say that she was the first person in the harem, and I probably never thought that I would fall into this step one day.
Time also, life also, maybe this is her life.
Looking at the slowly closed palace door, Concubine Rong showed a silent smile, just like when she first entered the palace, more than 30 years, today is the time to draw an end.
Xuan Ye, you didn't want to see me when you were alive, so what about after death, would you like to see me again after more than 30 years of companionship?
Knowing that she can't have it, she still can't help but fall in love, so she can't get rid of the red dust, so she is afraid of Hesheli Fang'er. In the same way, she was also envious of Hesheri Fang'er......
On August 12, the forty-fourth year of Kangxi, Rong Guifei Ma Jiaxiang embroidered in Jingren Palace at the age of 52.
[Author's digression]: As soon as you enter the palace gate, it is as deep as the sea, which is really not wrong at all
