It is the grassland of Erzhu River, the sky is blue like satin, and the white clouds of various shapes are embroidered patterns, which melt into your heart and are like a dream. Ah Niang wore her favorite green crane pattern elastic ink cloud satin placket, and a silk hibiscus flower made of fine pearls on her sideburns. I saw her look of love, standing outside the tent and waving her hand to summon Ying'e, who was placing a paper kite with her sister Qingjiao, Ying'e turned around and smiled brightly at A-Niang, and whispered to her sister who was swaying behind her, "Hurry up, A-Niang called us." Ying'e quickly reeled the paper kite, but it always seemed that she couldn't pull it, she called her mother loudly, but her mother never answered, she looked back in the direction of her mother, but saw a white mist slowly gathering, her mother's silhouette was about to be swallowed up, Ying'e hurriedly pulled up her sister and wanted to walk quickly to A-Niang's side, but no matter how hard she tried to grasp it, it was like grabbing air, she couldn't help crying, and finally grabbed hard, a kind of heart-piercing pain made her exhale.

At this time, a softer and gentler voice than A-Niang's voice called her softly, "Girl, girl, wake up." ”

Ying'e was groggy, and tried to open her eyes in the direction of the voice, hazy as if she saw the Queen Mother's face, Ying'e said in a daze, "The Queen Mother has also entered my dream, so I haven't woken up yet, but how is the pain so real?" ”

Empress Dowager Hu smiled when she heard this, and said softly, "Girl, you are not in a dream, is your hand hurting tightly?" Imperial Doctor, show Concubine Ying quickly. ”

Ying'e opened her eyes and looked at the Queen Mother's loving attention to her, and couldn't help crying, "Queen Mother, Ying'e is really not a dream, you came out, it's so good, it's so good." ”

Empress Dowager Hu gently wiped her tears, took the ointment in the hands of the imperial physician and personally wiped the medicine for her, "Girl, your hand has been treated before, and some places have scabbed over." ”

Ying'e nodded, "Thanks to Concubine Sima's kindness, she arranged for Yuanyi's sister to visit me in prison and heal my wounds." ”

Empress Dowager Hu smiled with relief, "It's rare that she has this heart, it's very good." ”

Ying'e said, "It's because the Queen Mother treats people leniently on weekdays and Demu Harem, so she has a lot of help." ”

"It's a very clever thing for you, and you have said that all the depression of the mourning family these days has been gone."

Ying'e looked around at the furnishings in the lower hall, although it was not magnificent, but it was also exquisite, "Where is the Queen Mother, have you finally come out of the Xuanguang Palace?" ”

Empress Dowager Hu didn't say a word, and after carefully bandaging Ying'e's fingers, she gently blew on her injured fingers, and the medicine was accompanied by blowing, and a burst of coolness penetrated into Ying'e's heart, and she felt much more comfortable. I was about to thank you again, but I heard Empress Dowager Hu say, "Girl, this is still Xuanguang Palace, but the mourning family asked you to come in and live with me." There are some things that you will know when you are a little better, and then I will tell you slowly, now you are recuperating, and you will drink the lily porridge for a while, and you should be hungry after three days of sleep. ”

Ying'e felt that she had a lot to ask, and a lot of things must have happened in the past three days, but when she saw the Queen Mother's starry eyes slightly dewed, her plain makeup was lightly dyed like autumn chrysanthemums, and she frowned without spitting out her eyebrows, she was obviously full of sorrow and depression, and she couldn't help but dare not ask again. drank some porridge indiscriminately, and the queen mother saw that she was still in good spirits, but she was too heavy to serve Ying'e because of Qihua's punishment, so she was placed in the side hall to recuperate. He arranged for Yilian to stay and serve, and he was served by Gonggong Xi and returned to the east room of Xuanguang Hall to rest.

Seeing the Queen Mother walking away, Ying'e couldn't hold back, called Yilian and asked, "Auntie, now that the Queen Mother is free?" ”

Yi Lian sighed lightly, "Although the Queen Mother can't enter and leave this Xuanguang Palace at will now, but because of the Rouran War, she can see the emperor more recently, and it is always good for mother and son to be common." It's hard for Ying Concubine Niangniang to remember our queen mother so much, but she doesn't ask you what happened? ”

Ying'e frowned and recalled carefully, "I only saw some figures in a trance that day, and then I had difficulty breathing, and I woke up here." ”

Yi Lian gently fixed and wrapped Ying'e's injured fingers, looking at the hand that was still oozing blood, Yi Lian said emotionally, "Niangniang has suffered, but this finger is afraid that it is not as flexible as before, Niangniang is so for the Queen Mother, and it is not in vain for the Queen Mother's love for Niangniang." It's just that the mother also has to take care of herself, this palace is full of turmoil, inextricably linked, and many things are not like that. Niangniang was framed for having an affair with Yuan Shiyu this time, saying that it was the Niangniang who was ordered by the queen to dispose of it, but the queen did not know that she could call the shots since the queen entered the palace. This time, fortunately, the queen sent a concubine to inform the queen mother in time that Liu Teng was going to execute Niangniang and Yuan Shiyu, so she saved Niangniang at the last moment. ”

Ying'e didn't believe that Hu Fanyi ordered to torture herself, only Yilian would be afraid that she would misunderstand and explain to the queen, Liu Teng actually wanted to kill Yuan Ziyou really surprised her, and the look of concern was difficult to hide, "How is Yuan Shiyu?" ”

Yi Lian gently tucked the quilt for her, "When the Queen Mother came to the court that day, there was no empirical evidence to prove that you had a promiscuous harem trip, and the Yuan attendant was the heir of Prince Pengcheng, and the family style was very strict. So save you before the execution. But after all, the matter is in trouble, and the Queen Mother can't help but express her position, so she asked Yuan Shi to read it and think about it behind closed doors, and Niangniang followed the Queen Mother to worship the Buddha, and now it can be regarded as saving her life. It's just a pity that Princess Li was so angry that she didn't wait for Yuan Shi to read it. ”

When Ying'e heard that Li Yuanhua had died, she couldn't help but feel sad, but Yuan Ziyou's life was the best result for Ying'e, she guessed that Yuan Yi and the others must be in order to punish them, and they disregarded the royal family's face, and she couldn't help but sigh in her heart. She had too many things to ask, wanting to know everything that had happened in the past few days, but Yilian didn't say much, only said that the Queen Mother would tell her. That night, Ying'e was sleepless, the leak was even deeper, and the cold north wind outside the door was whistling like a ghost's wail, sharp and piercing. She got up and pushed the window, and suddenly smelled a curling plum fragrance, it turned out that the red plum in the corner of the wall opened in the cold, and the red stamens hidden under the snow were very charming.

The next morning, Ying'e felt better, but her fingers were still in pain, and after Yilian changed the medicine for her, she went to the Empress Dowager Hu's bedroom to say goodbye with Yilian's support. Before entering the door, I heard a sobbing sound inside, Ying'e didn't dare to enter, stood under the corridor, and Yilian went in to report to the Queen Mother.

I just listened to the Queen Mother, "When will you change your submissive temperament, and you won't even be able to suppress a concubine, you should go back first, since you have endured it for so long, continue to endure it first." ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw the door creak open, Hu Fanyi's eyes were red, Ying'e saw the busy concubine ceremony, Hu Fanyi didn't say a word but looked at Ying'e twice, nodded slightly and helped the palace maid Yujuan to go out and board.

Ying'e looked at Hu Fanyi's weak back under the back of Guanhua in a daze, and there was a trace of sympathy in her heart, she shook her head fiercely as if she wanted to get rid of the strange thought in her heart, and went back to the house to say goodbye to the Queen Mother.

Empress Dowager Hu lovingly pulled her up and sat beside her, "How can I come out if I get better, I can't go down to the ground these days, if Yilian doesn't serve well, you can tell the mourning family." ”

Ying'e hurriedly replied, "Aunt Yilian serves Ying'e thoughtfully and considerately, but Ying'e feels that she can take care of herself, and the Queen Mother serves few people here, and she is not as caring as Aunt Yilian, so she doesn't bother Aunt Yilian." ”

Empress Dowager Hu carefully put her hand lightly on her hand to look at Xiang, "But it doesn't bleed, this time you have been wronged for the mourning family, and the mourning family is in your heart." ”

Ying'e was flattered and shook her head again and again, "Ying'e didn't do anything, Ying'e is not wronged, as long as the Queen Mother is safe, it is Ying'e's greatest blessing, and she is willing to do anything." ”

Empress Dowager Hu sighed deeply, "If the queen is half as brave as you, the mourning family will not be worried." Mingxiang's child is also impulsive, and he can't help her, and the mourning family hoped that you could stay and help the queen, but unfortunately your heart is not in the palace. The mourning family also understands your heart, and since ancient times, this harem has not been peaceful for a day, when my father sent the mourning family to become a monk, he couldn't escape that sentence, and he couldn't get out of this palace. During these days, sometimes the mourning family is thinking, whether this life is fortunate or unfortunate, the mourning family outside is extremely respectful, and the province is decided. Even the emperor was very filial when he was young, how could he be too old but he was not close to the mourning family, he fought hard for his mourning family back then, and now that he thinks about it, it is better to let Gao Ying take the lives of our mother and son. ”

Ying'e saw that Empress Dowager Hu was sad, but her fingers couldn't move to wipe her tears, so she could only raise her sleeves anxiously to wipe her for her, Empress Dowager Hu was comforted and moved by her filial piety, "Girl, the mourning family knows your thoughts, when you bid farewell to your father outside the city that year, the mourning family saw that Ziyou's child had different thoughts about you." Later, although you accompanied the mourning family in this prison palace for several months, the mourning family could understand the sound of your flute every night, but you were released from the palace and you came back, don't you regret it? ”

Ying'e saw that the Queen Mother knew her mind completely, so she didn't want to hide it anymore, "Ying'e knew that the Queen Mother deliberately let me out of the palace, Ying'e did want to go back to Erzhuchuan, but the Queen Mother treated me very well, but I was victimized by a traitor, and Ying'e left like this is too unconscionable." Ying'e already knew that the emperor had misunderstood the queen mother, as long as she found Concubine Li's letter back then, the emperor would definitely understand that when the time came, the queen mother and son would be reunited. ”

Empress Dowager Hu listened to Ying'e's account of the causes and consequences, only to know that there is such a letter in the world, recalling the old days with Li Min'er, Empress Dowager Hu couldn't help but feel a little depressed, "Sister Li was the only one in this palace who was really sorry for the mourning family, but it is a pity that a woman needs it in the end, but it is still a little pity from her beloved, for the little bit of love that can't see the truth or falsehood, but she can crush herself, even if she mixes into the dust, she doesn't feel humble." I thought that what I set up was the monument that a man wanted, but what I got was a lonely ending, and it was only my heart that mourned, and in the end it was someone else who was buried next to him, and I could only look at it from afar, but not get close. She asked for it, but she couldn't, and I was resigned to fate, what we asked for was different after all, which is why I don't force you now. ”

The grievances and helplessness on the face of the Queen Mother made Ying'e also understand her own state of mind, many people's requests were not available, and it was a kind of sadness for them to get but not want. Now that King Qinghe is dead, the Queen Mother's heart is estimated to be dead, and what is the ending between her and Yuan Ziyou, she suddenly didn't dare to think about it, because she didn't want the little hope in her heart to be swept away by her fear. She knew that the Queen Mother had the following arrangements, and now she couldn't help herself if she asked herself, the only thing she could do was to pray for the Buddha's mercy and let everything go smoothly.

On that day, the Empress Dowager Hu took out her autumn rain and rain, this Fuxi-style guqin Ying'e has heard of it for a long time, and the black lacquer body is engraved with the words autumn rain and rain. Leaning on the lotus to burn the fragrance, the Empress Dowager Hu sat with her sleeves relaxed, and her slender jade fingers plucked the strings lightly, only a few notes, which made Ying'e sigh, "The Book of the Qin" records that Fuxi cut the tong into the qin, and the sound of the piano is quiet and peaceful, which makes people forget the world and feel ethereal like a fairy. I can see this Zhao Feiyan's famous piano today, and I am even more fortunate to listen to the Queen Mother's caresse, Ying'e's life is enough. ”

Empress Dowager Hu smiled lightly, "I didn't expect you to know the piano, the mourning family has not dyed the rhythm for a long time, and they can't be quiet, but today I suddenly want to play a song "Return to the Wind and Send Away" to send the deceased. I only heard the Queen Mother stroking the piano and singing softly, "The autumn wind is frosty, and the gentleman is unforgettable, and I am grateful for my generosity!" The sky fell and the frost soared wildly, and the immortals wanted to go to the Xifeiyun Township, and the jade palm was left behind. The song is poignant and sad, clearly the longing for King Qinghe and the guilt for Yu Ling, although the eyes are full of tears, the god is firm, and the sound of the piano turns around the circle is heroic and calm, and there is no half bowing down to mourn. Ying'e was a little in awe of this woman, she knew that she couldn't learn the strength of this woman.
