Chapter 226: Concubine Ming
Gu Han's biological mother.
To be honest, I haven't even heard him mention it, no, even if he did, it was just a passing pass, he seemed to avoid mentioning the word mother, isn't there a secret in this?
Until she returned to the house, she was a little frightened. My mind was full of what I had just seen and heard, and if I hadn't experienced it myself, I'm afraid I would have thought I was dreaming.
The maid Xiao Tao ran in from outside, saw her frightened look, stepped forward and patted her on the back, and asked cautiously, "What's wrong, Niangniang?" What's wrong? ”
But she swallowed her saliva and shook her head with a pale face: "It's okay, it's okay, it's just that I was scared just now." ”
"Niangniang, you must be careful, don't run around in the palace, if you meet someone, it will be bad. The palace is not as beautiful as you think, so it's better to be careful. With that, she took out a few plates of pastries from the box, all freshly made, and even steaming.
Seeing that she cared so much about herself, Tian Xin smiled, took out a pastry from the plate and stuffed it into her mouth: "Of course I know this, naturally you don't have to worry, I will take care of myself." ”
"That's good, otherwise Xiao Tao really has to stay by your side all the time." After placing all the plates in the box on the table, she carefully retreated.
Before she reached the door, Tian Xin suddenly stopped her: "Wait a minute, I have something I want to ask you, I don't know if it's convenient for you to tell me?" ”
"Of course it's no problem, I don't know what question Niangniang wants to ask? Little Peach is willing to answer for you. "After that, I went back to where I was.
But Tian Xin didn't know how to speak, and hesitated for a long time before asking, "Who is the person who is locked up in the cold palace now?" Finally? You all know that, right? ”
"This, is there anyone in the cold palace? Although Xiao Tao has been in the palace for a long time, she has never heard that there are still people living in the cold palace. She scratched the back of her head in confusion, as if she really didn't know.
However, Tian Xin didn't embarrass her, so she smiled and waved at her: "It's okay, if you don't know, forget it, I'll just ask you casually, don't say it." ”
Xiao Tao naturally knew these truths, and only after nodding did she retreat.
After Xiao Tao's back disappeared into the house, Tian Xin let out a long sigh. What does this prove? Could it be that he has seen the hell and can't do it? Otherwise, it's a secret that no one ever knew.
To prove her suspicions, she went to the cold palace again, and this time it seemed to be a little colder than when she went. The ground is full of broken leaves, and it seems that this place is a little earlier than the season outside.
I don't know where a bell rang, and it knocked into Tian Xin's heart. And her heartbeat became exactly the same as the bell, which made her very uneasy.
The rustling sound of the leaves at her feet made her heart very unbearable. Before I reached the door, I heard a voice from inside: "Why are you here again?" ”
This time, there was a hint of a smile in his voice, as if he had already prepared for her to come. Tian Xin's heart didn't know why, but suddenly she wasn't so scared, and curiosity drove her inside.
I don't know when a faint incense came, as if it was a wax made from sandalwood after being ground into powder. The smell is very good, but it is a little intoxicating, and I don't know if it is mixed with the ingredients of coma.
"I didn't expect you to come here for the second time, but I was surprised. I thought you were a coward, but I didn't expect you to be quite bold. A gentle female voice came out of it, and Tian Xin looked carefully at the person he saw.
Tian Xin began to be less resistant after confirming that she was not a female ghost, slowly stepped forward, and asked cautiously, "Who are you?" ”
"I'm Concubine Ming, I guess you haven't even heard of me, but it's strange that you can see me today, usually in this cold palace, no one will come once in eight hundred years." As if mocking her situation, she smiled and shrugged her shoulders.
Tian Xin didn't feel so rusty, and even took two steps forward, and didn't feel so cold in the cold palace: "Then, why are you locked up here?" The world has changed dynasties, the world is amnesty, you should go out. ”
"Has there been a change of dynasty? I'm not well-informed in this cold palace, I don't know anything, I don't know what you're telling me. She looked surprised, and she didn't look like she was pretending.
Tian Xin nodded: "Yes, this world is now Gu Han's world." Now that he has become the emperor, he still doesn't know that there is a person locked up in the cold palace? ”
She bit her fingers and looked at the woman in front of her, could she have guessed wrong, this person was not Gu Han's biological mother at all? If it was his own mother, how could he tolerate her being kept in such a place?
"Haha, I don't know, I don't know, I don't want to go out anyway, isn't it good to be here? Pure and free. I don't usually have anyone to take care of it, but it also relaxes me a lot, doesn't it? She smiled, even though she had been a concubine, but she had also unloaded all her burdens.
In fact, the most tiring thing is not the time spent in the cold palace, but when she is still in power, she intrigues with those women in the palace, which makes her tired every day.
Since entering the cold palace, she has taken life lightly. Good and bad, why not look at the good?
In fact, saying this is nothing more than she figured it out in her own heart, and she feels that she can become a nun.
Seeing her say this, Tian Xin also deserved a faint smile, and lowered her head: "What you said does make sense, but I was really abrupt when I came uninvited this time, and I hope you don't be surprised." ”
After all, she is a concubine of the previous dynasty, and she is one level higher than herself in any case, so she has to understand some rules.
Although Tian Xin's heart is like ashes, these truths are still understood. Although she is a modern person, she also knows a little about these ancient rules, not to mention that someone specially taught herself before.
Just as she was about to say something more, a scumbag voice suddenly came from behind: "Niangniang, Queen Niang!" Where have you been! ”
After hearing Xiao Tao's voice, she immediately picked up her skirt and went out, and didn't forget to say when she left: "Someone is looking for me, then I'll leave first, and I'll come to you again when I have time." ”
She didn't wait for the woman's answer before she went out, and just after going out, she didn't walk a few steps before she saw Xiao Tao looking for her anxiously, and immediately greeted her after seeing her: "Where have you been?" I've been looking for you for so long. ”
"Nothing, just hang out, what's the matter with you?" She pretended to smile and pulled Xiao Tao away from this place of right and wrong.
After hearing what she said, Xiao Tao put aside the matter she was going to question just now, and began to say with great interest: "My father-in-law came to tell me just now, let you go to the kitchen to cook and eat by yourself, you can do whatever you want, you can use whatever you want." ”
"But I think you're a mother, so you shouldn't have to do these little things yourself." She really couldn't figure out why, so she touched her chin and thought for a while.
But in fact, this is also a gift for Tian Xin, after all, she likes to cook by herself, she loves to cook. Even if someone is serving her, she wants to be able to do it herself.
After all, after being idle in this palace for a long time, she will get hairy, and she doesn't want to get hairy so early.
Then he went back to the house and changed into simple and neat clothes, no different from before entering the palace.
"Eh Niangniang, I didn't expect you to look more beautiful in this dress, I'm short-sighted, let you wear those beautiful clothes, but wearing these simple ones makes it look lighter." Xiao Tao looked at it for a while and praised it.
In the end, the two of them went to the imperial dining room together, and I heard that the people in the imperial dining room were all selected by thousands of people, so naturally they were not far behind, but she wanted to see what the difference between the people in the imperial dining room was different from herself.
