Chapter 21: Moving Out of the Cold Palace
His heart throbbed slightly, and he didn't dare to come forward to recognize it for a long time, until the thin and haggard woman in front of him approached him slightly, stretched out her calloused hands and slowly raised them, rubbing his smooth and tender skin, looking at his handsome and evil appearance and smiling.
"My son is still so handsome, graceful, and taller, and has become a man who stands up to the sky, exactly the same as the dream of my mother in her dream, and I am satisfied to see my son like this!"
After Concubine Xian finished speaking, she hugged Nan Yanlie in front of her and cried, her thin body shook and trembled, Nan Xuanye hugged her mother's body with both hands, and pressed Concubine Xian's body down with both hands, Concubine Xian suddenly screamed, and her body quickly shrunk.
Nan Yanlie twisted his eyebrows slightly, looking at the thin body in front of him like a blank paper concubine, her body was very light and light, he barely exerted any strength, just put it up slightly, which made the woman in front of her a little unbearable, and there was a painful moan!
Nan Yanlie gritted his teeth, picked up the body of the concubine with both hands, hugged him directly into the inner room, and shouted into the distance: "Shadow! Come out! ”
Soon a woman in a red dress strode in and bowed down from the sky: "Master! ”
"Check my mother's body to see if there are any injuries on her body!" After Nan Yanlie finished speaking, he walked out directly.
"It's okay! It doesn't matter what the concubine's body is! Concubine Xian didn't finish speaking, Nan Yanlie walked out, and the woman named Shadow walked in directly, bowed to Concubine Xian in front of her, and after getting Concubine Xian's permission, she carefully checked Concubine Xian's back and other places.
A quarter of an hour later, the shadow walked out directly and whispered to Nan Yanlie, who was standing in the Changle Palace, "Go back to the master!" Concubine Xian's back, as well as on her arms and legs have different degrees of flesh wounds, some are new injuries, some are old injuries, and there are almost no intact places on the skin, so you need to see a doctor very much! ”
"In the future, you will stay by the side of the concubine to take care of her, and you will change your name to Yingying in the future, so as to hide the fact that you can do martial arts! Don't attract too much attention, if there is any suspicious person around the concubine, report it immediately! ”
"Yes! Master! With that, the shadow walked inside.
Nan Yanlie clasped his hands tightly, he pursed his lips tightly, and finally gritted his teeth, but still walked in front of his mother, and the shadow immediately retreated.
"Mother, who did this to you, you have a lot of injuries on your body, can you be a calcium child?" Nan Yanlie squatted in front of Concubine Xian and asked in a low voice.
"It's fought by other crazy women in the cold palace, the cold palace is a madhouse, many women have been locked up for a long time, they go crazy, hold the pillow as their own children, and see other people as enemies, naturally, I am no exception, I fight with other crazy women every once in a while, and eating is like a war, often hungry, full, I can survive, it's a miracle"
"It's all the child's fault, I'm just going to get you out now! Don't worry, I'm going to find those crazy women and put them all to death!" Blowing out for you! The hardships you have suffered and the sins you have suffered now, the children will help you get back every penny, and they will never let you be wronged! ”
"Do you really want to avenge your mother?" The pale-faced woman looked at her son in front of her with a hideous expression, held Nan Yanlie's cheek with her right hand, and smiled: "What are these, if you kill them, it's just to vent your anger!" Take revenge! You will kick that Empress Su from the position of the queen for the concubine, and kick her son down from the position of the crown prince, and let my son be the emperor! Back then, the mother concubine was smart but was mistaken by being smart, and she fell for the trick of Queen Su's woman, one wrong step, one wrong step, I don't dare to look in the mirror now! What kind of life have I lived in the past ten years! People and ghosts are not as good as ghosts! ”
Concubine Xian stood up and looked at Nan Yanlie in front of her: "My good son, these days, the mother concubine has also seen through and heard that the Su family has fallen, and now the old emperor wants you to balance his crown prince and stabilize his throne, then you should seize the opportunity!" Do you understand? ”
"What the mother said is that the child also thinks the same, you will close the door during this time, and the child will find a doctor to recuperate for you, and guarantee that you will recover your red face for a month, white hair and black hair! Restore the brilliance of your youth! ”。“
"Then thank me! Happy for my mother! You have what it takes to get me out! The mother concubine is over forty years old this year, but her face is withered, her face is wrinkled, her hair is gray, no matter how she cares, she can't clean it up, the only thing she hopes for is to have a good old age, the direction of Cining Palace, the mother concubine really wants to go in and spend her old age in peace! Being able to get out of the cold palace and not die of old age is really like a dream! ”
"How many days and nights, listening to the wind and rain outside the window, the thunder rolling, looking at the cobwebs all over the house, the darkness, listening to the cry of the woman next door, the sound of screaming, the mother thought she was going crazy! The clothes on the body, the bed is broken, there is no one around me who can be counted on, the palace maid who went in with me has long been beaten to death by the women around me, scared away and scared away, the selfishness of human nature, indifference, that kind of terrible degree, you can see it clearly in the cold palace! ”
"How many women are there in it who are not proud of the spring breeze before, high up, as long as they enter the cold palace, hehe, find a way, trust the relationship, I hope that I can eat as well as before, live well, let myself suffer less sin, anyway, I want to die in it, naturally I have to have a relationship with these stewards of the cold palace, I will embroider, secretly take the embroidery and let these stewards take it out and sell it secretly, a few people will divide it, it doesn't matter if you don't have the ability, you can only wait to die slowly, such as me, it is really a miracle to be able to survive until now!"
"Mother, it's the child who is not filial, and now you come out, to be precise, it is the father who let you go, and he is also for his own etiquette, all of them are unfilial children!" Nan Yanlie held his mother with both hands, unable to speak, his face full of guilt.
"As long as the mother concubine is still a trouble in the eyes of your father, he will not let me out, even if he does, I will not come out at will, if it is harmful to my son, my mother, will die in the cold palace like that, but now, our good days are coming, this time we must seize the opportunity!" - "The mother concubine is right, this time the child will stay in the capital, and the child will often enter the palace to see you in the future!" It's just that how are you going to deal with yourself in the palace in the future? Nan Yanlie asked worriedly.
"Don't worry, the mother concubine is no longer the person who was controlled at will in the past, and now that she is finally back, I will take good care of my wings, lie down and taste the courage, and when the best time comes, we will quietly step on the enemies one by one to get rid of them!" At this time, Concubine Ruan Hongmei held her hands tightly, and her old face was a pair of resentful eyes, which made people dare not look directly, and her heart was cold.
"The child heard that the mother concubine knew in her heart, and the child was relieved, now the child has just settled in the capital, and he does not know much about the situation in the capital, so he needs to consolidate his power in time and let himself slowly gain a firm foothold in the capital!" When Nan Yanlie said this, Concubine Xian nodded.
"Since I was beaten into the cold palace, the power of the Ruan family has not been as good as before, but as the saying goes, the family is still prosperous, and there are many people with great power, although the power of our Ruan family is declining now, as long as you consolidate and cultivate well, it is your most solid shield, you give them a way to live, they will naturally slowly get closer to you like the big tree, they have been suppressed for a long time, and they are a small unknown petty official in the capital, and the only expectation in my heart is to have a bright future."
"Echoing our current situation, what the emperor hates the most is to form a party for personal gain, you mainly interact with your lowly relatives in the capital, this is human nature, and it will not cause the emperor's dissatisfaction, this is a temporary expedient measure, and when the power slowly fights in the future, when the emperor likes you, that is also the day when our Ruan family, and the child is in your early days, understand?"
Concubine Ruan Hongmei tried her best to say everything she considered and her son Nan Yanlie, who had just returned to Beijing, and the mother and son couldn't see each other every day now, so they could only try to pick up the key points.
"The child understands, mother, the child has already inquired, and the uncle is now an insignificant petty official in the capital, and I heard that he is in charge of the salt tax collection in the capital." Nan Yanlie told what he knew.
"Yu'er is eighteen or nineteen years old now!" Ruan Hongmei said suddenly.
"You're talking about your uncle's daughter, Yanran?" Nan Yanlie seemed to have thought of something in his heart, his eyes sank slightly, and he knew his mother's plan in his heart.
"Do you want the child to win your cousin Yanran?" Nan Yanlie asked.
"What? You don't want to? Or do you dislike her for not being good-looking? I have no relationship with you, you tell the truth, do you have a woman you like? Concubine Ruan Hongmei raised her eyes and looked at Nan Yanlie in front of her.
"There is indeed a woman by the child's side, in the past ten years, in southern Xinjiang, if it weren't for her companionship and rescue, I'm afraid the child would have died in southern Xinjiang." Nan Yanlie is not rejected, to tell the truth.
"Then you just stay by your side, mother doesn't blame you, as long as she is sincere to you and doesn't mess around, if it becomes a scourge in the future, it is better to get rid of it, otherwise it will be a disaster!" Ruan Hongmei took a sip of tea, holding her withered face with both hands, and unconsciously appeared sad.
"Okay, the mother concubine is also tired, the matter of the imperial doctor will trouble you, if the mother concubine doesn't take care of this face, I'm afraid she will be ridiculed to death by Su Ru's woman!" After Concubine Ruan Hongmei finished speaking, she quickly lowered her head.
"Mother ......" Nan Yanlie wanted to say more, but was suppressed by Concubine Ruan Hongmei.
"I'm tired now, you can go back first!" After Ruan Hongmei finished speaking, she walked towards the inner room and left Nan Yan Lie in front of her, Nan Yan Lie had no choice, told the shadow a few words, and left quickly.
At this time, Nan Xuanye also stayed in the queen's palace, and his mother, had a long talk, the palace maids on both sides had already retreated, the huge Kunning Palace, did not light a single candle, fell into a dim, the long night was long, the mother and son sat together in the gazebo, looking at the scenery in the distance, and did not speak for a long time.
"Ruan Hongmei, that old woman, didn't die in the cold palace, and now she has been released by the emperor again, and the king of southern Xinjiang is now staying in the capital, the power of this capital will change, Xuanye, you finally ushered in a good day, you can assist the emperor in dealing with the government, but now there is another king of southern Xinjiang, have you thought about how to deal with the future?"
"I think about it, the child is ready to marry Song Yanran, the youngest daughter of the military department Shangshu, and tie it together with the Song family to become an in-law, this is the safest way at present, the military department Shangshu has the right to mobilize troops from all over the country, Song Chengxuan is my brother in life and death, with the support of this brother and sister, the military department Shangshu will definitely become a strong backing for the child, mother concubine, they are the child wants to rely on!" Nan Xuan's eyes looked firmly at Queen Su Ru in front of him.
"The queen mother knows that you are still resentful of your uncle, he has done something unconscionable, and finally wants to get rid of you to occupy your position and become the new ruler of this Great Zhou, in fact, I have long seen that the eldest brother is ambitious, but I didn't expect that his appetite is so big!"
"One is my own son, the other is my eldest brother, although my heart hurts, but the queen mother can only choose her own son, the eldest brother has done too much, and the entire Su family has been put on board, this is something that I can't sleep when I think about it now, when I think about it, I have a headache!" Queen Su frowned slightly, drank a glass of wine, and still couldn't let go of it in her heart.
"Uncle has been using his father's suspicion to suppress the child for so many years, these dazzling nights can be tolerated, but this time he has gone too far, if the child does not report it himself and kills his relatives in righteousness, then the father will suspect the child, and even if Xuanye has a hundred mouths, he can't say clearly!" Nan Xuanye slammed down the wine glass, and the resentment in his heart was difficult to eliminate.
"Okay, things are over, people are dead, don't mention it, we still have to live, the next days are not easy, your father's suspicion has been deeply planted, the queen mother guessed correctly, he doesn't really put political power in your hands, he will only let you participate in the government, in the future, the power of the king of southern Xinjiang, you have to keep an eye on it, don't have the slightest slackness, we can't sleep peacefully, I believe they won't sleep too sweetly in the future, the big war is coming, see who can have the last laugh!"
Nan Xuanye looked in the direction of Changle Palace, retracted his gaze, and looked at Queen Su in front of him: "Queen Mother, you must be careful, children cannot always be by your side, this time is different from the past, you must be careful!" ”
Su Ru smiled and looked at the cool breeze that gradually attacked outside: "This harem will die miserably if you are not careful, one wrong step, one wrong step, you will lose all the games, there will always be a situation where North eats a few chess pieces, what we want is to control the entire chess game, to have a sense of the overall situation, not to be blinded by the hatred and temptation in front of you, let alone to be too persistent, to be able to afford to put it down!" ”
"The child understands!" Nam Hyun Ye replied modestly.
"I heard that the woman next to you is pregnant? Is it true? Queen Su's eyes opened slightly, looking at the crown prince Nan Xuanye in front of her.
"Yes, it's been almost two months, and I'm still raising the baby with peace of mind."
"Did that woman come out of the palace of Southern Xinjiang? You don't trust too much, especially the child, whether it is your own child, you have to check it personally, and don't be too pampered, some things don't let her know at will, otherwise it will hurt your things, believe in the queen mother, I am a person from the past! ”
"Queen Mother, don't worry, Xia Yinbing is a kind-hearted woman, she will save even a woman she doesn't know, and she won't pose a danger to the child, from the beginning, the child has been testing her, and you can inspect her face to face!" Nan Xuanye said with a smile.
"You're always like this, when you meet a woman, you just can't stand it!".
After the quick marriage, Su Ru suddenly felt that she was talking a little heavy, so she stopped, looked at the prince in front of her, whose face was a little sunk, clasped her hands on Nan Xuanye's shoulders, and said seriously: "Listen to the words of the queen mother, the royal family doesn't talk about feelings, you are the prince, you will have more and more women in the future, there are many things involved, rights and interests are material, you need to weigh them in many ways, you slowly find that feelings are the most luxurious things!" We can't afford it! ”
Su Ru's strength was a little big, and he actually used one or two layers of internal force, which made Nan Xuanye feel a little pressure, but he still stood in place, with a faint smile on his face, comforting the queen mother: "Don't worry, her bad child is also an accident, since she is here, the child wants to stay, don't you want to hold your grandson?" ”
Nan Xuanye just didn't mention Xia Yinbing's affairs, only talked about things like children, and diverted Queen Su's attention, Queen Su was naturally not a fool, knowing that Nan Xuanye didn't want to mention things about Xia Yinbing now, and only said that she wanted to pay attention to things.
"The queen mother just wants to hug the prince born to the crown princess!" Queen Su looked at the prince who had been smiling in front of her, her face sank, her hands were clasped together, and she looked at the prince in front of her.
"Queen Mother!" Prince Nan Xuanye grabbed Queen Su with both hands, looked at Queen Su in front of him, and inexplicably felt that something bad was going to greet him, which made his already somewhat anxious heart even more uneasy.
"Yanran see the queen mother!" Just when the prince wanted to coax Queen Su to be happy as much as possible, at this time, a delicate female voice came from outside the palace, and Queen Su was overjoyed when she heard this, and directly pulled the prince Nan Xuanye to the outside of the palace of Kunning Palace, and ordered everyone to light the lights of Kunning Palace.
At this time, Nan Xuanye squinted her eyes slightly, put her hands on her back, looked at the person in front of her, and felt a little incredulous, and looked up again, only to find that a woman wearing a goose yellow dress came in front of her, wearing a girl's sideburns, peach blossom makeup on her forehead, bowing her head slightly, with a girl's shyness, bowing her head slightly, and before she came to the front, she was pulled down by Queen Su in front of Nan Xuanye.
"This is Prince Nan Xuanye, no stranger to you! It's a person who has played since childhood, so I don't need to introduce it more! Queen Su looked at the crown prince Nan Xuanye in front of her and Song Yanran, the youngest daughter of the military department.
"Isn't this Yanran? Xiao Wang and Song Chengxuan are good brothers, and naturally they know Yanran, but they haven't seen each other for a few years, and Yanran is becoming more and more beautiful. Nan Xuanye looked at the shy woman in front of her, and smiled Huazan.
