Volume 2: Where to Return Chapter 46: Thoughts of the Cold Spring
After this incident, the already shaky relationship between Qing Yu and Xuan Ye quickly collapsed, and overnight, both power and favor were lost, and sisters were separated. She sat helplessly in the palace and recalled the past, scene by scene, scene by scene, as if a marquee flashed in front of her eyes, as if since Mei'er's death, her whole person has become easy to be sad, everything is difficult to be interested in anymore, even the pipa that she loved most in the past has been dusted for many years.
At night, she often looks out the window alone, looking at the starry sky, thinking of herself who once laughed.
Wei Yu can always see through her thoughts at a glance, give her a touch of tenderness when she is most helpless, and guide her to move on. Let her find a trace of warmth in this cold palace wall, but she doesn't want to be instigated by someone with a heart, causing Wei Yu to enter the cold palace, and she doesn't know how to move forward.
"Enie."
Qing Yu turned around, saw Yin Zhen slowly walking in, and quickly wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, Yin Zhen threw himself into Qing Yu's arms, looked at the corners of Qing Yu's red eyes, and comforted: "Don't be afraid, you still have me." ”
Yinzhen's words comforted Qingyu, she hugged Yinzhen tightly, this child was like a gift from God, she couldn't give it up anymore, and she was reluctant to take Concubine De away from her, but the emperor's order could only be compromised.
"No matter where Yinzhen is, I will miss you, in Yinzhen's heart, there is only one person."
Xu is praying for fulfillment every day, and what Wu Yaweijun never hoped for will come true one day. Ignoring the current physical discomfort, he instructed Su Tao and others to decorate the Yonghe Palace, and inquired about Yinzhen's preferences from the Chengqian Palace, and prepared his usual favorite food.
"Why didn't this pot be cleaned up? After a while, the fourth elder brother came, how can he look good? Concubine De was so anxious that she couldn't help but cover her nose with a handkerchief and cough lightly.
The palace people quickly moved the flower pot away, and suddenly heard a "clang", which was extremely piercing. The front plate of mud roots is separated, and the willow leaf flowers with cracked celadon are dazzling.
After a while, the palace maid came back to her senses, and generally made the appearance of crying and kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy. Concubine De wanted to scold, but when she saw the fourth elder brother walking in, she turned her mind and said softly: "Today, the palace will not punish you, you will plant the same pot in the rest of the decade, which can be regarded as a long memory." ”
The people of the palace were released as if they were guilty of a great crime, and they kowtowed and began to clean up the residue.
Yin Zhen stepped forward and saluted her, and Concubine De covered her joy and asked, "The fourth elder brother is hungry, so I ordered the servants to prepare some pastries, which are all your favorite food." ”
"Concubine Xie De, I have already used it just now."
Concubine De was dumbfounded for a while, not knowing what to say, and said again after a while: "That... How has the fourth elder brother been studying lately? ”
"Thanks to Niangniang's concern, Yinzhen is stupid, and Fang Zai learned "The Book of Rites" under the professorship of Mr.
"I heard that the fourth elder brother is going to Wuyi Zhai every day on the fifth watch, but it is hard." Concubine De looked at him distressedly.
Yin Zhen shook his head when he heard the sound and said, "Enie..." turned his mind and quickly changed his words, "The imperial concubine said that there is no bitterness in reading, and ordinary people are still like this, not to mention that in the royal family, assisting the prince to seek well-being for the common people is what the prince should do." ”
Concubine De looked at him now, he was only seven years old, but he was already as upright as an adult. There was a burst of regret in his heart, he used to be too narrow-minded, and he always wanted Yinzhen to live a stable life, but he forgot that he was born in a heavenly family, and he was destined to not be able to spend his life in peace.
"If the mother is fine, Yinzhen will go back and say goodbye." After that, Yinzhen saluted her again.
Concubine De still has a lot of words on her lips before she can speak, Yinzhen has left, she can't help but feel a loss in her heart, obviously she is the biological mother of the fourth elder brother, Yinzhen is so alienated, and the sense of injustice sprouts in her heart again, so when Qingyu sent the new clothes made for Yinzhen to Yonghe Palace, she had an idea.
Concubine De greeted Yinzhen, who had just returned from Wuyizhai: "This is a newly made cotton robe sent by the imperial concubine, put it on and take a look." ”
This is the first time Concubine De has seen Yinzhen smile, he happily stroked the new clothes, and when Concubine De was secretly proud, Yinzhen's face quickly became gloomy: "Is Niangniang mistaken, this is not a cotton robe made by the imperial concubine." ”
"Why, this is sent by Yixin." Concubine De said firmly.
Yin Zhen's eyebrows frowned slightly: "The embroidery method of the three chrysanthemums embroidered on this cotton robe is wrong." ”
Concubine De's heart fluttered, and she tried to pull out a smile and said, "Then, Xu was the imperial concubine who asked the embroiderer to embroider it." ”
After all, Yinzhen accepted the cotton robe with Concubine De's gentle smile, but what Concubine De never expected was that when she quietly went to visit Yinzhen in Qiandong No. 2 the next day, she happened to bump into Yinzhen handing over the cotton robe from yesterday to the attendant.
She didn't have time to think about it and rushed out of the second Qiandong Institute, behind her was Su Tao's call, she saw the plum blossoms falling by the palace wall, just like the scene she saw when she entered the palace, suddenly a plum blossom fell between her hands, at that moment, she lowered her eyes and lost her mind. Because the place where the plum blossom stays is the mark of being pricked by a needle.
Since Yinzhen was raised by her, no matter what she gave and did, Yinzhen would never accept it, she thought that the clothes made by Qingyu would be quietly hidden, replaced with the clothes made by herself and given to Yinzhen, and Yinzhen would accept them, but she never thought that the clothes made after staying up for a few days and nights were not worth mentioning in Yinzhen's eyes......
"The slave goes to talk to the fourth elder brother." Su Tao stepped forward and comforted.
Concubine De shook her head again and again to stop her: "No need. ”
She walked weakly on the way back to the palace, recalling so many days of getting along, but she never warmed Yinzhen's heart. She couldn't help but sigh again and again.
Tong Qingyu, Tong Qingyu, I exchanged Mei'er's life for Yinzhen, I thought I won, but after all, I lost, if I can do it again, I won't hurt Mei'er, can you give Yinzhen back to me?
Later, although Yinzhen would often come to Yonghe Palace to say hello, Concubine De could no longer see the joy on her face.
From this day, Xuan Ye flipped through Concubine De's brand, chatted with her at night, and asked: "How is the fourth elder brother studying recently?" ”
"The fourth elder brother is still very diligent, it's just ......" Glaring at Xuan Ye, she said slowly, "It's just that the concubine is not as good as the imperial concubine, and she can solve his doubts." ”
The implication is that Xuan Ye doesn't understand. In the past few days, he also regretted saying heavy things to Qing Yu, but he didn't want to pull down his face, so he could only stalemate.
"Although the concubine is the biological mother of the fourth elder brother, she also knows the principles of birth and raising. The imperial concubine treated him well, and the concubine saw it in his eyes. If the fourth elder brother fails to study because of the concubine, it is the biggest mistake, and the concubine is helpless. ”
Xuan Ye sighed secretly: "You really think so? ”
Concubine De nodded, she struggled to keep Yinzhen by her side, even if she kept people, she couldn't keep her heart.
Xuan Ye took advantage of Concubine De's mouth to order Yinzhen to be returned to Chengqian Palace.
On the day of Yinzhen's departure, she deliberately went to Yonghe Palace to say goodbye, the magpies outside the window were chirping, Concubine De felt extremely annoying, she inadvertently looked at it, Yinzhen was wearing a cotton robe embroidered with three chrysanthemums, Concubine De didn't know what to say for a while: "This dress is ......" When she calmed down, she asked, "Then the Japanese Palace saw you give this dress to the attendants, why?" ”
Yin Zhen explained: "That day, I saw that the cotton robe was a little uneven, so I asked Xiao Shunzi to take it and iron it. ”
It turned out to be a misunderstanding. In an instant, even the annoying birdsong by the window became pleasant. Yinzhen didn't know how good Concubine De was to her, but in his heart, Qingyu was more important than Concubine De.
"Yinzhen will often come to Yonghe Palace to greet his mother in the future."
"Okay," Concubine De nodded with joy.
