047, I remembered the old man

Ruyi looked at the Buddhist beads in his hand again.

The compassionate heart of the Buddha was originally clean and flawless, but the dirty heart of the world, the heart of the Buddha's mouth and snake, but it was difficult to recognize.

"The concubine wrote it down." Ruyi spoke softly and respectfully returned the beads to the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother didn't answer, stared at her for a while, and said with a smile: "When others listen to the words of the mourning family, they will say that they are taught, why are you different, but you just wrote it down?" ”

Ruyi replied honestly, looked at the Queen Mother with sincere and clean eyes, and smiled with two points: "The Queen Mother's words, the concubines have benefited a lot, but the concubines are dull and not smarter than the mothers, so you can only remember the words of the Queen Mother first, and then slowly comprehend." ”

The Queen Mother bowed: "It's good to be able to write it down." ”

After speaking, the Queen Mother looked at the red leaves who were kneeling on the ground in the distance and did not dare to raise her head, she naturally heard the Queen Mother's words clearly, and panicked in her heart, and when she got here, she didn't dare to ask for help like just now.

"Lift your face." The Queen Mother was not angry and arrogant, glanced at Ruyi, who was a little anxious, and motioned for her to sit down peacefully.

Hongye couldn't lift it for a long time, Aunt Mo Yan gave a look, and the eunuch next to her grabbed Hongye's hair and lifted it up.

The Queen Mother saw it and chuckled: "It looks good, the mourning family is a bold one, and it turns out that he is just a paper tiger." ”

It's better to sit next to this, although she is also a little palace maid, and she has not been a concubine for a long time, but the problems of those small families in the past have changed a lot, and there is also a master, which shows that he also worked hard to learn there in Qianchang.

Hongye's vision was wandering, and he didn't dare to look at the Queen Mother, but only dared to aim at Ruyi.

Ruyi clenched her hands tightly, the Queen Mother didn't speak, and she couldn't say anything rashly, after all, she didn't know what was going on now, and why did the Queen Mother suddenly grab the red leaves.

"Did you say it yourself, or did you listen to the mourners?"

The Queen Mother asked, Hongye trembled, and after listening to the Queen Mother's words, she knelt forward a little harder, kowtowed, and said: "The Queen Mother spares her life, and the Queen Mother forgives her sins." ”

The smile on the Queen Mother's face retracted, and she didn't bother to look at the kneeling people on the ground.

Ruyi opened her mouth to ask, but Aunt Mo Yan stepped forward and stopped: "Little master, don't worry, wait for the slave maid to ask her a few words." ”

Ruyi looked at Aunt Mo Yan, and still respected her very much in her heart, and after suppressing the uneasiness in her heart, she bowed slightly.

Mo Yan took two steps forward, and when she looked at the red leaves, she no longer had the same kind of harmony as Ruyi, she reached out and took the flower jacket that a few aunts had searched out, and threw it in front of the red leaves: "Auntie, look at it, what is this?" ”

Momiji doesn't raise his face to know what it is, biting his lip and refusing to speak.

Still Ruyi saw it and said softly: "Isn't this the flower jacket that I just let you put away?" ”

When the Queen Mother heard this, she looked at her sideways: "Did you pass it?" ”

Ruyi replied truthfully: "Yes, I opened the window early this morning, and I felt a little cold after sitting and repairing the embroidery for a while, and the red leaves came out with this jacket, and the concubine tried it, and felt that it was really a little flowery, so she asked her to take it back and put it away." ”

The Queen Mother didn't say anything more, and asked Mo Yan to ask.

"When the queen mother left, the person standing outside sneaking around and looking at it was the girl, right?" Although Mo Yan is a question, when he says this, it is actually an affirmation.

The queen may not have seen her face clearly, but Mo Yan has seen Hongye several times, and she is clear about her appearance and figure.

You can't be mistaken.

Hongye bit her lip and still refused to speak, she was probably still thinking about how to get away with it in her heart, but unfortunately this set was useful for Ruyi, but it was useless for the Queen Mother.

Mo Yan waved his hand: "Take it down." ”

The two eunuchs responded, one left and one right grabbed the red leaves and was about to drag them out, the red leaves panicked, raised their eyes and looked at Ruyi: "Little master, little master save me!" I beg the Queen Mother to be gracious, please be gracious to the Queen Mother! ”

The shouts of the red leaves gradually drifted away, and Ruyi sat with a pale face, until he heard the screams of the red leaves under the punishment outside, and Ruyi finally couldn't sit still and stood up: "The Queen Mother. . . ”

"Sit down." The Queen Mother did not fluctuate and pointed to the stool.

Ruyi knew that she should listen to the Queen Mother's words, and sat down obediently, she had served her master, and she knew what it was to steal the master's clothes and sneak peek at the queen, and the Queen Mother wanted to kill Hongye to death.

But she had already seen her sister gone, and she didn't want to see Momiji lose her life because of such a thing.

It was Ruyi who lifted the hem of her skirt and knelt down: "Please be gracious to the Queen Mother, she just has a little vanity in the red leaves, she has no bad intentions, please let the Queen Mother spare her, the concubines must be strictly controlled, and there will be no next time." ”

The Queen Mother frowned, and her voice became stern: "Get up!" ”

Seeing that the Queen Mother was angry, Aunt Mo Yan also stepped forward to pull Ruyi: "Little master, why bother, get up first and then speak." ”

Ruyi straightened up, still kneeling in place, as stubborn as a donkey.

The Queen Mother stared at her for a long, long time, so long that she almost saw the figure of an old man from a long time ago, the old man, she knelt in front of her back then, and shouted: "I'm not wrong!" ”

The Queen Mother slowly closed her eyes, the sadness brought by the memory almost drowned her, when she entered the palace at the beginning of the year, who didn't have a little sharpness and arrogance?

She was also the one who had a sister.

In this harem, in the short years of girlish feelings of the Queen Mother, she also supported her like her sister.

She has also seen such a stubborn figure.

More than 20 years have passed, and the girl kneeling in front of her has aroused a little pain in the Queen Mother's heart.

She failed to keep the people who died with a smile twenty years ago.

Twenty years later, the Queen Mother suddenly had a hint of wanting to protect.

Just because of this little image, the Queen Mother sighed.

The temperament is too stubborn, in this harem, it will suffer losses and hardships, this child, a lot of energy, doesn't know anything.

"Kneel." The Queen Mother opened her mouth and let Aunt Mo Yan leave it alone.

The sound of the punishment outside has stopped, but the red leaves have not been carried in, the queen mother was still angry, her expression has eased at this time, she groaned for a while, and asked Ruyi: "Do you think this girl next to you is worth it for you to kneel here for her?" ”

Ruyi was stunned for a moment when she heard this, then moved back a little and kowtowed to the Queen Mother: "When the concubine was a palace maid in the knitting bureau, Hongye was very good to the concubine, and the concubine only knew that people can't be ungrateful. ”

The Queen Mother bowed her head, thoughtfully recalled this sentence, and muttered: "The Wen family taught you very well, taught you a lot of principles of life, and you are also very good, and you have written down all these truths." ”

After saying this, the Queen Mother picked up the Buddha beads in her hand and slowly turned them: "But the words of the mourning family, you still haven't heard it clearly, the people in this palace have a clever mouth, the words spoken are not necessarily true, and the things that are done are not necessarily true, crying in front of you with true feelings, turning your back, you never know if the person behind you is holding a knife." ”

Ruyi didn't understand, and his eyes were stunned when he raised up.

But in fact, she understands a little bit that the queen mother means that she is actually talking about Hongye's loyalty, Ruyi is just deceiving herself in her heart, and she doesn't want to understand.

She had just lost her sister, and now she had to convince her that the people closest to her had other intentions, and Ruyi felt that it was too cruel.

But the Queen Mother didn't give her a chance to ease, today the Queen came over, if it wasn't for the red leaves quietly showing her face and peeking to be discovered, the Queen Mother was originally going to summon Ruyi after dinner, and she saw the figure of the old man in an instant, so that the Queen Mother had two points to teach, so she simply said it at one time, after experiencing blows and severe pain, the fledgling can spread its wings.

The Queen Mother motioned to Mo Yan, Mo Yan bowed her head, and walked out quickly, and after a while, something was thrown in front of Ruyi's eyes.

It's a boxy piece of straw paper.

The Queen Mother's voice sounded overhead: "Open it and take a look." ”

Ruyi picked it up with a trembling hand and opened this thing, which was wrapped in powder, a little pungent, Ruyi was stunned for a while, and suddenly remembered when he had smelled this pungent smell.

It was the second time she came back from bed, and the taste of the bowl of 'fertility pills' that Momiji brought to her.

"This is a good medicine for Gong Han, if you use it a few times, you won't be able to get pregnant." Mo Yan spoke, "She carries this with her, what kind of thoughts does the little master understand?" ”

Ruyi's brain buzzed, and many details were strung together, and she seemed to suddenly understand.

The Queen Mother looked at her expression and asked Mo Yan to take the things away from Ruyi's hands: "If you can react, you are not stupid." ”

Ruyi was still kneeling dumbfounded, and the words and things that Momiji said and did were rolling back and forth like wheels in his mind.

"Why?" Ruyi muttered to herself, and by the time she reacted, tears had already burst out of her eyes, dripping on the back of her hand.

Why would she do it?

Ruyi thinks that they are all people who have suffered from the knitting bureau, and now that they have come out, they will not treat the red leaves who were good to them badly.

But she took a piece of sincerity to the red leaves, and what the red leaves returned to her was such a bowl of poison that had been brought to her, she persuaded herself like that, she hated to watch her drink it with her own eyes, and called affectionately one after another, behind the smiling face, there was a heart that hated to let her die.

If it weren't for her firm attitude and didn't drink it that day, if it wasn't for the fact that the emperor didn't summon her too much, if she hadn't gone to the queen mother's side to repair the embroidery, then would she have lost the opportunity to become a mother forever in this bowl of 'fertility medicine'?

Ruyi didn't dare to think deeply, and she didn't dare to think about how Momiji couldn't burn her in her heart when she was by her side day and night, and when she got along with herself with such an intimate attitude.

The Queen Mother heard Ruyi's question, and said indifferently: "You are a palace maid, she is also a palace maid, you can, why can't she?" ”

After a burst of bloody words, he answered Ruyi's question.

Because the starting point is the same, I refuse to be reconciled.

Once bad thoughts and stupid thoughts collide, there is no turning back.

Ruyi's eyes were lost, the Queen Mother waited patiently for a while, and when she saw that she was still like this, she couldn't help but be angry and said: "Where is the energy when I just collided with the mourning family?!" At this time, I only know how to cry and cry! Get up! ”

Ruyi was soberly by the Queen Mother's words.

She raised her hand to wipe the tears from her face, shook her head and thanked Aunt Mo Yan, who was coming to help support her, and stood up by herself.

The Queen Mother continued: "She is your girl, doing such a thing, in the end, it is your heart that is cold, you can say what to do with it." ”

Ruyi clenched his fists, and after half a sound, he said in a deep voice: "Just let her come from." Where to go? ”

The knitting bureau is a nightmare for Momiji, she finally came out of that ghost place, and she dreamed of doing something famous to clean up those old women, and now she went back like this, but she was afraid that it would be more uncomfortable than death, and Ruyi didn't want her to die, so she could only let her go back.

The Queen Mother was stunned for a moment, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she endured it and bowed her head: "Then do it." ”

Aunt Mo Yan went outside to order, and a few seconds later, Ruyi heard Hongye's heart-rending shout, but she didn't hear it too clearly, and it wouldn't be a good word.

The Queen Mother saw that she was in a trance, and this blow seemed to be a little heavier, although the fledgling needed twists and turns, but there should also be a place to rest and breathe: "The people around you are not very good, the mourning family looks at you and misses the Wen family, and the two palace maids in Langjing Palace also got along well earlier, the one you are now in the house is a coward, and it is useless to keep it, she is close to Hongye, she must be aware and dare not report, only caring about whether her life is good or not, such a person does not have to stay by her side, and will be sent later, Let the two who used to serve the Wen family serve you. ”

Ruyi was stunned for a moment, and raised her eyes in disbelief.

Aunt Mo Yan reminded Ruyi with a smile in the back: "The little master is not happy to thank you?" ”

Ruyi came back to his senses and knelt down to thank the Queen Mother for her grace.

The expression on the queen mother's face softened a little, children are like this, just because their playmates when they first entered the palace had bad intentions and betrayed themselves, but when someone who treats each other sincerely comes again, the joy in his heart can't be hidden.

The child in front of him is like a blank piece of paper, he has seen Wen's affairs, suffered so many grievances, and suffered so much, but he always remembers the good of others and the good things in this world.

The Queen Mother asked Ruyi to get up and sit down, and rewarded her with a cup of tea to drink, and then slowly talked about the queen's desire to restore the morning and dusk provinces: "She has been sick these days, and there have been a lot of things in the palace, and now that the New Year Festival is coming, she wants to recover, save a little longer, and the people in the palace are getting more and more lazy." After speaking, the Queen Mother looked at Ruyi, "When the time comes, you go to Fengyang Palace to ask for peace, remember to arrive early, listen more, be humble, patient, there will never be anything wrong, you are still doing errands here in the mourning family, they dare not go too far." ”

This is An Ruyi's heart, but the Queen Mother didn't say anything more.

When Ruyi went back, the Queen Mother sighed and took the tea handed over by Aunt Mo Yan: "My heart is still too soft." ”

"Li promised that he was still too young, if he opened his mouth and closed his mouth to shout and kill, the Queen Mother would be afraid." Aunt Mo Yan smiled, Ruyi has lived here for a few days, she likes this child very much, she is an old aunt who has been in the palace with the Queen Mother all her life, the Queen Mother has a vicious eye, even she can see that Ruyi is a good child, the Queen Mother will not fail to see it, but the Queen Mother is holding it, and the emperor is more energetic, and she says that she doesn't care about it, but in fact? It's not that the two restless ones have been replaced, and Ruyi has been pointed out to the most familiar and caring person.

By the way, I gave Ruyi a lesson, this is the beginning of teaching and pointing, the first way to survive in the palace, the queen mother took a little action to suppress and clean up, it was enough for Ruyi to carefully reminisce for a period of time, this is the queen mother recognized this child in her heart, and she will definitely take it with her in the future.

"Grind slowly, little by little." The Queen Mother drank tea and groaned slightly, "You find someone to stare at that red leaf." ”

Mo Yan said yes, naturally he wanted to stare at it.

After saying this son's words, the Queen Mother originally wanted to rest, but after seeing Ruyi today, the Queen Mother couldn't calm down for a long time, and she didn't feel tired or sleepy.

On the shelf in hand was a long, long old jade coral, which did not look as good as the current tribute, and it looked out of place in this pile of ornaments.

The Queen Mother turned sideways and asked Mo Yan to take off the things on the shelf, then hold it in her hand, look at it carefully, and stroke it carefully.

After a long time, there was a layer of hazy tears in the queen mother's eyes, she seemed to be laughing, but her voice sounded a little sad: "Mo Yan, the mourning family just looked at the girl kneeling here, that stubborn look, it really looks like Sister Roujia, sister back then. It's the same way, I bumped into the emperor and was beaten. ”

Aunt Mo Yan was still smiling, but when she heard the Queen Mother suddenly mention the old man, her face tightened, and she reached out to pick up the jade coral in the Queen Mother's hand: "The Queen Mother remembered the past, but Li promised to be the same as Concubine Liu." ”

"It's different." The Queen Mother muttered and let go of her hand.

Liu Roujia is even tougher.

Ruyi knows how to be a little more tactful.

But the eyes are the same, and people who have thoughts in their hearts are always similar.

The Queen Mother liked that kind of look, she was immature back then, and she didn't quite understand what her sister was insisting on and looking for.

Now I understand, but there is no old man around me.

So the Queen Mother thought, she had lost such a look once, and this time, she should take good care of her when she grows up.

The figure of Xiao Ruyi and the figure of Liu Roujia coincide together.

When Ruyi called her sister, didn't the Queen Mother think of herself who used to call her sister?

The years in this house are like a cog of perfection.

The stop of the previous gear means the rotation of the next gear.

The new generation of children is walking the path they have walked and suffering what they have suffered.

One step at a time, just like that.

Ruyi is too weak, so weak that it is almost covered up and destroyed by the bright light in this harem.

The Queen Mother thought, then pull it.
