I heard that Jiang Yao had a big temper in the court today, and the people's riot caused by the officials this time occurred on the southwest border, which was a border fortress, which should have been the emperor's trusted confidants, but now there is such a big oolong, it is inevitable that some people will secretly laugh at Jiang Yao for using people inappropriately, and even more ugly, and laugh at him for being young and ignorant, and the strength under the control of the first emperor has gradually been exhausted.

I was a little angry when I heard this, and I didn't know what Jiang Yao thought in his heart.

Although Jiang Yao is not a virtuous monarch who deserves to be remembered for eternity, at least he has not made a mistake in the years he has been in power, some people are just deliberately spreading rumors, but those who have read the sage book for three or two days and feel that they can point to the country are taken seriously, and they have to find one or two things to sarcastically ridicule when they have nothing to do on weekdays, not to mention that there is really a mistake this time.

I went to find Su Ko, and Su Ko also said with a sad face that Jiang Yao was really in a bad mood these days, and rarely went to her palace, even if she came, she would sit and leave slightly, and occasionally stay overnight, all accompanied by long lights, frowning at the daily official documents.

I comforted her: "Normal, when I was in the public mansion, my father was busy like this, I didn't see each other for several days, and my father always said that the emperor worked hard and had to deal with a lot of complicated affairs, I was just a woman, and I didn't understand this. ”

Su Kou was lying on the table, holding her cheeks with her hands, the weather had warmed up recently, Su Kou had changed into relatively thin clothes, and her exposed wrists were as white as jade, which made people want to touch it to see what it was like.

"I don't know, but I know that whenever Ah Yao sees me and doesn't smile, he must be very tired."

I didn't know how to answer, I wanted to comfort Su Ko, but I didn't expect to be unhappy as I spoke. Seeing that I was preoccupied, Su Ko smiled and smoothed my brows: "Ah Xuan, your expression when you frown is exactly the same as Ah Yao." ”

When I heard this, I also laughed and said, "Isn't everyone frowning like this?" ”

Su Ko shook his head and said, "It's different, I can't describe it to you, but it's different." ”

Although her words were unreasonable, they always made people listen very relaxed, and I looked up and felt a lot more relaxed on my forehead: "Princess Bunraku came to look for me a few days ago, but unfortunately I was busy with other things at that time, and I was idle and I didn't see her anymore, which made me very curious, what did she do with me." ”

I originally just said this casually to Su Ko, but I didn't expect Su Ko's face to change suddenly, and there was a little disdain in her eyes: "Princess Wenle has her high-ranking queen mother, what can we do to help?" ”

"Don't you like her?" Wenle and Zhao Fei don't have a deep relationship, because Zhao Yi has a bad relationship with Wang Yin, maybe because Wang Yin's temper is too cold, so why is he not in good relationship with Su Kou?

When Yin Yin was very young, Wen Le and Jiang Yao sneaked out of the palace to play, and at that time, their relationship was definitely not what it is now.

"I don't look down on her high-minded posture the most, if there is nothing to do, I know to make trouble for Ah Yao, in order to cure her illness, Ah Yao didn't bother a lot, but the result is good, kindness as a donkey's liver and lungs, the mother and daughter are not only grateful, but because of this, they have a dislike, it's inexplicable!"

Su Ko was a little angry, and when he said these words, he almost shouted with anger, but I am just an outsider, how do I know what happened between them?

I generally don't comment on events that I didn't participate in, but I was a little concerned and couldn't help but ask a little more.

"When I saw Bunraku a few times ago, I seemed to feel that there was something wrong with her, was it so serious?"

"She was also born with this disease, the older she gets, the more insidious the illness becomes, and the doctor has searched through the medical books and ancient books, but she can't find a similar disease, and she is only conservatively recuperating according to the symptoms that appear."

"Oh......"

"Okay, let's not talk about her, it made me angry." Su Ko pouted, but didn't mean to blame me.

"Queen Mother, the Queen Mother, please go."

We were chatting happily when the palace maid outside suddenly came in to report, which interrupted the interest of the two of us for a while.

"Okay, I got it." I nodded, then turned to look at Suko.

Su Ko's dissatisfaction almost jumped out of his face, but after all, he didn't say anything, and lay on the table boredly.

What can the Queen Mother do if she looks for me? Although I can't think of it, it is nothing more than two situations, one is related to Jiang Yao, and the other is related to the Rong family.

But after I went, the Queen Mother just asked me to help her copy the Buddhist scriptures, and my words were not as good as ordinary palace people, where could I have any ability to copy for the Queen Mother?

The Queen Mother saw that I was squirming and unwilling to move, and a trace of displeasure flashed on her expression, so I had to sit down hard, no matter whether the handwriting was good or not, just do my best.

In the case of not knowing what to do, you can only do your best to do your best, the so-called do your best, listen to the destiny of God, but also do what you can do first, in order to be worthy of being blessed by the destiny of heaven.

Those years that I missed, after all, I still missed, originally I could be like others, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are all-encompassing, those beautiful, glorious past has become a dream that cannot be traced, no matter how beautiful the dream is, there will be a day when I wake up, it is such a cruel reality.

I don't know what the Queen Mother's intention was in calling me over to copy the Buddhist scriptures, I just know that she has no place to vent her anger, so she is just angry with me.

My hands have not done anything for so many years, I can't play any beautiful tunes, I can't write chapters that can be recited through the ages, I can't go up to the hall or the kitchen, I say that I am useless scholars, but I am not even the most useless scholar.

As soon as I picked up the pen and wrote a few pages, my wrist was sore, and I looked at a thick Buddhist scripture, but I was afraid that I would not be able to finish copying it for five days and five nights.

The queen mother's palace passed dinner, but there was no intention for me to stop, and I didn't dare to complain, and continued to bury my head in copying, although the handwriting did not grow much, but at least it looked more comfortable than the first few sheets, and it could be regarded as a gain.

There was only a faint light on the bookcase I was on, and as time went by, it became darker and darker, and the person next to me didn't seem to have any action to change it, so I rubbed my sour eyes and moved the sutra towards the brighter light.

It was the Queen Mother who noticed my movements and motioned for someone else to light up for me. After adding another lamp, I didn't need to post the handwriting on it again and again, and the burden on my eyes was much less, but the pressure on my arms did not decrease in the slightest.

Another lamp was added, which meant that the Queen Mother had no intention of letting me stop at all. I sighed secretly, I didn't know what I did badly, and I made the Queen Mother angry again.

I don't know if it's because I've been engrossed, or because the act of copying is too tiring, but I just climbed the windowsill in the dim moonlight outside the window, but my head was so groggy that I almost fell asleep.

I quietly yawned, wiped away the tears from the corners of my eyes, and continued to cheer myself up.

Changyun came over with a lantern to ask, and the Queen Mother let me go back.

Changyun said, my wrist was as broken as if I was unconscious, and I fainted almost as soon as I left the palace gate of the Queen Mother, and I returned to Fengluan Hall to feed some porridge and water before slowly waking up.

"Huh? You're here. I saw Changyun's shadow in a trance, thinking that I was still in the Queen Mother's Palace, and I couldn't help but be a little surprised, and then found myself lying on the bed, so frightened that I almost jumped: "Why did I lie down?" Have you copied the sutras? ”

"Niangniang, the Queen Mother ordered to copy again on a cloudy day, Niangniang should rest now, don't think about this." Pei'er's eyes lit up, as if she had been wronged, "Niangniang, eat something, I heard that you haven't eaten this afternoon." ”

It's rare that I have a good appetite, and I even ate a lot of things, Changyun looked a little distressed, and said, "Do you still want it?" There is also a kitchenette. ”

"No, I'm so sleepy, you guys go down too, I'm going to sleep."

I waved weakly, motioned for them to stop talking to me, closed my eyes and fell asleep peacefully.

Before going to greet the Queen Mother, Changyun let me eat a little something, and sure enough, as soon as I arrived in the Queen Mother's palace, I continued to copy the progress of yesterday's copying.

If this can make the Queen Mother discouraged, it is nothing. I comforted myself so that my copying would no longer be a punishment.

The cycle goes on and on, day and night, even if I am beaten with iron, I can't hold up such a toss, but in three days I collapsed, I had a fever, and I couldn't get up for half a minute.

The Queen Mother sent someone to ask, and when she saw that I was burning badly, she didn't say anything, so she went back to her life after a few simple greetings.

Pei'er's eyes were red and swollen when she cried, and said, "Our mother has always been cautious and careful, and she has never done anything wrong or said anything wrong, why ......?" ”

Changyun motioned for her to stop talking, handed her a handkerchief, and said, "These grievances of Niangniang will not be in vain." ”

I was so dizzy that their words were just "buzzing" in my ears, and after drinking a bowl of medicine, I fell asleep groggily, until I was sweating, and I slowly woke up.

To be honest, I didn't want to get sick so quickly, instead of letting me copy the scriptures, it was better to let me be so sick, it was a torturous thing to do horizontally and vertically, and it seemed more comfortable to lie down.

Seeing that my condition had improved, the Queen Mother urged people to come again, even though I was unwilling, and now I have no reason or excuse to escape again, so I have to follow.

Although the weather is a lot warmer, but the temperature has not kept up, it is biting cold at night, I had a fever that is not completely good, and I went back at night to blow a little wind, although it did not burn again, but the intermittent cough is also very annoying. I couldn't control my wrist, and when I coughed, it was a piece of black ink, and this copy was also invalidated, delaying a lot of effort.

At first, the Queen Mother would sit aside to supervise, but later she didn't bother to spend time with me, and standing next to me was a grandmother who didn't look very kind.

I have no other advantages as a person, but I am very knowledgeable about current affairs, even if the Queen Mother does not have anyone to urge me, I should not be lazy to steal, I still dare not steal at all.

However, these grandmothers who live in the palace all day long, once the master is gone, they begin to be idle. The young ones are quite well-behaved, but these two old ones either chat together, or find a place to sit paralyzed, without caring about their manners, if the Queen Mother sees this scene, she is afraid that she will faint to death in anger.

This is not surprising, the grandmothers in the palace often enter the palace at a young age, and spend their lives in the palace city of the Quartet, and follow the masters to be beaten and scolded, even if some become indifferent, there will still be some tenacious, adapt to the changes, and let themselves live better, no matter what this posture is in the eyes of others.

These two grandmothers looked at Miansheng, they had never seen each other by the Queen Mother's side on weekdays, and their faces and hands did not look like they were serving in the Queen Mother's palace, but they looked a little like the rough servants of the miscellaneous room.

Most of the content of their chat was gossip in the palace, and it didn't matter whether I, the queen, was listening or not, I talked about it myself.

"I heard that a few days ago, Mama Zhang went to give clothes to Concubine Chen, and she got a lot of rewards!"

"It's not, Concubine Chen is worthy of being in the palace, and she takes special care of us palace people, like Concubine Shu."

"Then you are wrong to blame the lady concubine, every time the lady concubine treats the next person badly? I heard that the palace maids who are close to each other have this number! Mama gestured proudly, as if the person who had been rewarded was herself.

The envy of the people listening to it on the side, and the lifeless eyes of the dead fish also flashed at this moment: "Really? ”

"I wonder what's going on with this one?" They glanced at me in a strange way, as if they were afraid that I would hear it, and they seemed to be afraid that I would not hear it.

"The people in this palace are weird, with such a master, I'm afraid that there will be no future!"

"Don't say it, the mother family is very powerful, I heard that this time the rebellion was personally handled by the prince Rong on the way to office, and now he is a first-class celebrity......"

"Tut-tut, or say that people's lives are good, if I were born in such a ......"

"You mother-in-law is so shameless, you look at the appearance of others, and then look at yourself."

The damaged grandmother was not happy and said, "Who is not beautiful when he is young, but he is just old and decrepit." ”

"Then why didn't you be favored by the first emperor when you were young, and you also begged for a master, why did you work hard for more than half a year to climb out of that kind of place, and all your life's savings were put into it."

"The concubine of the first emperor, apart from the queen mother, which one has a good end?"

"Shhhh

The reprimanded grandmother regretted it as soon as she said it, looked around vigilantly, and covered her mouth with some fear: "Bah, bah, look at what I'm talking nonsense day by day!" ”

"Fortunately, the girl in charge of the palace went out to get the monthly money, otherwise you would look good."

"Good sister, you also know that it is the first time for me to go inside on an errand, and now that I am older, I really can't go back to the original place, so you can take care of it."

"Okay, okay, just pay attention in the future."

……

As she spoke, they shifted gears and began to talk about other trivial matters. But I stopped what I was doing, very curious about that sentence.

"The concubine of the first emperor, apart from the queen mother, which one has a good end?"

Since the Queen Mother is not Jiang Yao's biological mother, who is Jiang Yao's biological mother? If there is no good end, what has happened to make it a good end? can train the future emperor, why does such a concubine not end well?

Just thinking about it, the big palace maid next to the queen mother came over, sent the two grandmothers down, and then saluted me: "The flowers in the imperial garden are blooming, and the queen mother is worried that the queen mother is too tired, so she specially invites the queen mother to watch it together, and the Buddhist scriptures that have not been copied will continue to be copied later." ”

There is such a good thing! I suddenly felt the pen in my hand lighten and said, "Yes." ”

I wanted to say thank you to the Queen Mother, but after thinking about it, if the Queen Mother hadn't deliberately troubled me, why would I have to work hard to copy such useless things here?

Maybe I don't have much respect for the gods, but I've never believed in gods and Buddhas in my life, and if there is really a providence in the dark, then why doesn't God come to pity my mother?

I skimmed off the excess ink from the brush in my hand on the inkstone, put it in the pen tray in a regular manner, and only felt comfortable the moment I stood up, but I don't know if it was because I stood too fiercely, or because the fever was not good at all, and after a few moments, the shackles imprisoned in my body began to sink.

The fatigue accumulated after a few days of copying finally manifested itself after this fever, and the back hurt and I couldn't tell what it felt like, and I didn't know how to get rid of it.

The people in my palace were all instructed by the big palace maids around the Queen Mother, and only two people in the Queen Mother's palace watched me inch by inch like left and right protectors.

The weather was very good today, I looked up, the sun was a little dazzling, and I could even see a halo of light lingering outside. But as soon as I lowered my head, there was a brief darkness, and I wanted to reach out to find a support by my side, but there was no one who could support me.

Fortunately, I only shook it for a while, and the half-step back in time quickly stabilized the center of my body. The big palace maid in front began to urge, and I stopped grinding and followed quickly.

It's really spring, and although the Imperial Garden has never lacked greenery and flowers, the vitality that can't be closed in the garden like this can only be seen in spring. Unlike in the summer, when it's too crowded, everything here is just right.

The Queen Mother sat under the pavilion in the middle of the imperial garden and drank tea, her fingers tapping the delicate porcelain, and with the elegant movements to her lips, the tea emitted a faint white smoke, and the fragrance of tea spread with the shaking of the tea.

I was a little thirsty, looking at the cup next to the Queen Mother, it was like rushing up and taking a few gulps, but the Queen Mother didn't speak, and I could only watch the tea from a distance to quench my thirst.
