104. She doesn't seem to understand
It's night.
Guo Zhenzhen did not come out of the Golden Pond Hall again.
The next day, when I returned to the palace in a sedan chair, it was still dark.
As soon as the virtuous concubine gained power, the news of the fall of grace flew away, and there seemed to be a hand desperately pushing Guo Zhenzhen up.
It seems that everyone is guided by a magical magic, and they all acquiesce in their hearts that the virtuous concubine who has both grace and power must be the best candidate for the future.
The wind and rain are coming, and the black clouds are crushing the city, but the people in the city can only see the prosperity in front of them.
Returning to the palace in a hurry, Xingyue beckoned the little palace maid to help Guo Zhenzhen back to the room, and then dismissed a group of people, only solemnly said that Niangniang was tired and needed to rest, and was not allowed to chew the root of her tongue in private.
Tomorrow is Guo Zhenzhen's big day, when the court has not canonized the concubine, so there is no concubine costume can be used as a reference, the new system is cumbersome and time-consuming, Guo Zhenzhen ordered before, to get up early to dress up, not to seek how to suppress the concubines, but must be dignified and atmospheric, take out the momentum of the palace mother.
Can.. Now she's drunk herself.
The smell of wine in the room is still very strong, Guo Zhenzhen's alcohol consumption is not too bad, she has followed Jiang Wan on the march for many years, many times wine is a necessary spiritual sustenance and a good friend of the cold wind, she has never been a person who indulges herself, I don't know what she and the emperor said and did in the Jinchi Palace, she was so drunk, even when she went back to the palace, Changzhong sent someone to help carry it up.
Guarding like this, Xingyue herself dozed off, leaned on the edge of the bed and fell asleep in a daze, but fortunately, Zhaoyuan remembered the hour and gently knocked on the door to call Xingyue's name, she woke up suddenly, and subconsciously raised her eyes to look at Guo Zhenzhen.
She was still asleep, but her breathing had calmed down, and the wine on her face had dissipated considerably.
Xingyue got up from the ground, rubbed her sore waist and legs while kneeling and sitting to open the door, it was already dawn outside, Zhao Yuan glanced inside worriedly, and whispered: "Can Niangniang get up?" In half an hour, the concubines should all come. β
Xingyue shook her head, signaling that she didn't know, she also glanced in with her side face, and then dragged Changzhong to the bottom of the stairs: "I'll try my best to call Niangniang to get up, and I rely on you to guard the front, Niangniang came back from the emperor last night, everyone knows, who dares to say anything more when she gets up late when she gets tired?" β
Zhao Yuan bowed: "The emperor has always respected his mother, and now he has a little more grace, the important thing is that our mother is happy in her heart, and these years have not been in vain." β
"Just drinking so much." Xingyue still felt weird when she talked about this, and muttered, "I think it should be fun." β
"It's just fun, when our mother and the emperor are young and vigorous, you should be happy to drink some wine in a lonely room, you look at Concubine Jing's body and bones, how about being favored? Whether she can conceive or not, even the Queen Mother is too lazy to care about her, she will be lucky to be pregnant in the future, who can say whether she is blessed or not? It's our mother. Zhao Yuan raised his eyebrows, with a rather confident look, and leaned over to Xingyue's side, "Maybe this time it will be, didn't you go to Imperial Doctor He last year to get back Zhang Yiyi's man's prescription?" β
That recipe Guo Zhenzhen has indeed been conditioning.
She is a good age to give birth and raise, and it is really a great joy to be able to conceive in one fell swoop.
When Zhao Yuan said this, Xingyue also put her mind at ease, and smiled with a relaxed expression: "It's true... Niangniang's day is not easy, I have been with Niangniang for a long time, I really feel sorry for Niangniang, I also persuade Niangniang to be relieved, I think more than Niangniang. β
After that, Xingyue patted Zhao Yuan on the shoulder and asked him to go forward to guard it, and she tried to groom Guo Zhenzhen as soon as possible.
When she entered the room lightly and was about to call Guo Zhenzhen to get up, Xingyue saw at a glance that the figure on the bed had already sat up, probably because Guo Zhenzhen heard the movement of her talking to Zhao Yuan.
It's just that the strength of the wine is still there, and the brain is dizzy, Guo Zhenzhen completely relied on her instinctive consciousness to tell herself that today is the first day of the morning and dusk province, and she forced herself to sit up.
She looked ahead with empty eyes, and her whole person was still dazed.
But this outstanding perseverance and obsession with today's things still shocked the stars and moons.
She has been by Guo Zhenzhen's side for so long, and she knows that she is a person who is extremely determined and will never give up in order to achieve her goals, but she didn't expect that a person's thoughts have reached a certain point and can overcome her own consciousness to such a point.
"Mother." Xingyue hurriedly stepped forward to help, and called Guo Zhenzhen several times, only to see her eyes roll, glanced at herself blankly, and then closed her eyes vigorously, shook her head, and finally there was light in her eyes.
"What time is it?" Guo Zhenzhen spoke, her voice was a little hoarse, she raised her arm, felt sore, and couldn't help frowning, "Water." β
Two cups of herbal tea went down to the stomach, and the dry throat was relieved.
After that, it was time to freshen up and change clothes, Guo Zhenzhen was absent-minded throughout the whole process, and when she looked at the mirror, a moment of confusion flashed in her eyes.
Xingyue was also happily talking to her beside her.
"Niangniang took the rain and dew last night, and the slave maid has instructed the people below to boil the medicine prescribed by Dr. He, and it is just right for Niangniang to come back and drink it later, God bless, our mother is blessed, and she will definitely have a prince."
These words should have been very useful, but at this moment, Guo Zhenzhen felt a little empty-hearted.
She.. Favored?
After staying in the Golden Pond Hall for a night, everyone outside must think that she has been favored.
But Guo Zhenzhen didn't know.
After entering that night, the Golden Pond Hall was obviously still the same, but Qi Ying spoke to her with a look. It's so gentle that she indulges in it a little.
After that, it was drinking, the wine in the Golden Pond Hall was mellow and intoxicating, Qi Ying congratulated her, as if she was happy for her from the bottom of her heart.
But what can be said specifically. What happened after the fall. Guo Zhenzhen was not impressed at all.
Xingyue said that she didn't come back before dawn in the morning, that is to say, she stayed with Qi Ying for at least two or three hours, and the pain and discomfort on her body was also true.
Could it be that at this time, she wants to say that she was unconscious last night, and she didn't know if she was favored or not?
Can she still ask her aunt to come and check if she is a virgin?
She would never have done such a humiliating thing, and it was impossible for her to deny the 'grace' that everyone had witnessed.
Even if she doesn't remember anything, even if she doesn't know anything, she must put this crown of 'grace' firmly on her head.
Anyone who watched her jokes, even herself, was more willing to believe that she and Qi Ying were emotional after drinking last night, and she and Qi Ying finally came together.
Even to Xingyue, who is the most trusted by her side, she will never say that she doesn't know if there is such a thing as a waiter.
But after a long silence and no reaction, Xingyue still saw that Guo Zhenzhen's face was wrong: "What's wrong with Niangniang?" β
Guo Zhenzhen came back to her senses and raised her eyes to look at herself in glasses.
Graceful and luxurious, dignified and self-controlled.
She took a deep breath and smiled at the mirror, relieving her stiff cheeks, then turned sideways and handed her hand to Xingyue on the side, and when she raised her eyes and got up, she was already a virtuous concubine with resolute eyes: "It's okay, this palace is just... I'm a little tired. β
With a faint smile, she headed for the antechamber.
Jiang Wan didn't expect that she would lift the ban in advance, and it was Guo Zhenzhen who proposed it to the Queen Mother.
She got the power of the assistant six palaces and the canonization of the virtuous concubine, when Jiang Wan heard the news last night, she only said lightly: "It's still far away." β
It's still far from what she really wants.
The beautiful paradise in front of you is a dream of Nanke after all.
But Guo Zhenzhen doesn't seem to understand this truth, she is such a smart person, after all, she still can't escape the illusion of chaos in this world.
Before the canonization ceremony is held, the dust will not be settled, and everything is variable, the most taboo is blind conceit and excessive abuse of power.
Guo Zhenzhen made all such mistakes.
She was anxious and distracted, she was too eager to be relied on and loved, and once she got carried away, there were only flaws left everywhere.
Jiang Wan herself didn't have much emotional fluctuations about this, but Jingyue, who didn't serve Jiang Wan much that night, Qingmei occasionally saw her standing alone in the dim backyard, and her expression seemed a little lonely.
She really felt sorry for Jiang Wan.
It's also true, I feel embarrassed for Qi Ying.
The palace gate of Meixi Palace opened, and the sedan chair of Anxi Palace entered the Jinchi Palace.
She used to have a grudge against Qi Ying, hated him for being cold-hearted, and resented him for being resolute.
But this time she left the pinnacle of Qionglin Palace, and then looked at it from the side, Jing Yue felt that she seemed to have seen a lot, and once she stepped into the emperor's house, she couldn't help herself.
It's also difficult for the emperor.
Accompanying Jiang Wan to Anxuan Palace early in the morning, Jingyue had been very silent, and when she was about to arrive, Jingyue sighed deeply: "In the heart of the slave maid. I always feel weird. β
When did Jiang Wan listen to the teachings of her peers?
She's a queen!
It is the true phoenix of the Nine Heavens.
changed her body, and any cat or dog dared to claim to be the master in front of her.
Although Jing Yue intellectually knew that Jiang Wan's current identity was helpless about it, she still couldn't accept it emotionally, and the whole person felt awkward.
Jiang Wan patted the back of her hand and chuckled: "Fame and fortune are just things outside the body, and whoever is sovereign will always be in the hearts of the people of the world." β
The word Jiang Wan is enough to make Beishui Nanhuai tremble.
Her height has never been in the upper and lower parts of this harem seat.
Not even in the so-called name trade-off.
and will never be trapped in a small palace.
Her vision has always been as high as Qi Ying's, and her world will always be in the four seas.
Guo Zhenzhen's mind is narrow and selfish, just a corner of the place, and it will never be possible to spy on Kunpeng's loftiness.
No matter how much she imitates her, it will be difficult to learn the essence of Jiang Wan after all.
Therefore, Jiang Wan looked at her words and deeds, and she just smiled lightly.
I went out a little late today, probably because the news of Guo Zhenzhen's appointment as a concubine was too shocking, or the news of staying in the Golden Pond Hall last night was enough to make most people lose sleep, and when Jingyue helped Jiang Wan to step into the palace, a pair of eyes looked sideways, and she was the last to arrive.
Originally, it was just unintentional, but in the eyes of different people, her cold and indifferent appearance really had a little more meaning.
As soon as Concubine Qing came, she sat in the front position on the left, and was pressed by Concubine Xian, she couldn't let Jiang Wan hold it down, she raised her eyebrows and stared at Jiang Wan to sit opposite her, and said with some sarcasm: "The grace in this palace, today comes and tomorrow goes, it withers faster than the flowers in the imperial garden, some time ago I was still a top-notch person, I turned my face for a few days and didn't see it, and it became the yellow flower of the past, look at Concubine Xian, just received the holy decree, and became the emperor's pillow person, so I said, no matter how delicate and beautiful, do that weak appearance, It's just that it has to be fresh for a few days, and when it really matters, it still depends on us old people, after all, we have followed the emperor all the way, which is more important, and the emperor can't figure it out? She said this to Jiang Wan, and after speaking, she didn't forget to look at the concubine beside her, "Concubine Chun, are you right?" β
Concubine Ru sat beside Jiang Wan with tea, and rolled her eyes silently, before she met Concubine Qing, she really hadn't seen anyone who could meet each other, and she offended people everywhere as soon as she opened her mouth, Concubine Qing is really a rare best in the world, and she doesn't leave a way out for herself, which is really amazing.
Jiang Wan half-lowered her eyes, Concubine Qing said so many words, but she only heard one thing, last night. Guo Zhenzhen seems to have stayed with Qi Ying.
Although she knew that Guo Zhenzhen would not be so kind and let herself be lifted from the grounding in advance without asking for anything in return, after hearing this, Jiang Wan was still stung in her heart and subconsciously frowned.
Jingyue didn't tell her about this.
I don't know how to speak.
Concubine Chun bowed her head and was silent, unwilling to talk to Concubine Qing more, Concubine Qing snorted coldly, but she didn't have a good face, seeing that Guo Zhenzhen didn't come out yet, Concubine Qing was a little impatient and looked up and down Zhao'an: "What about your master?" We came here early in the morning, not for tea and snacks. β
Zhao Yuan kept a smile on his face, and was vaguely trying to pass over, when there was a sudden sound of footsteps from the side, and Guo Zhenzhen's imposing voice: "Sisters are here, naturally they are not here to eat tea, this palace was tired last night, and I slept a little more, so I didn't ask my sisters to wait for a long time, right?" β
The tone and title of her speech changed, and after she sat down with a smile, she took a long sigh of relief and raised her eyes to look at everyone.
There are some deliberate eyes, but they do carry some preciousness.
It seems that coming back from a night stay with Qi Ying gives people a more different feeling.
Concubine Qing suppressed the anger in her chest, gave Jiang Wan a provocative look, and looked like 'even if the old lady can't sit on it, she has to be the last to get up and salute', which successfully made Jiang Wan laugh.
She has always known Concubine Qing's temper, but she doesn't want to be so naΓ―ve in this little thing.
Because the place of discussion is in the Anxuan Palace, even the Mei nobles have not been absent, Guo Zhenzhen is now her main palace mother, the life is good or bad, it depends on her mood, it is the Mei nobles and Zhao nobles are the first to stand up, and then everyone got up one after another, even Concubine Ru also put the tea cup and stood up lazily.
Guo Zhenzhen's gaze fell on Jiang Wan's face, and the moment her eyes met, she unconsciously pulled the corners of her mouth, and her eyebrows were full of victors.
She is here because of her gifts.
The moment Jiang Wan stood up, Guo Zhenzhen felt that she had won.
The distance between her and the queen is only a phoenix chair, and there is only a phoenix seal on one side.
How many times did Jiang Wan do this to admonish the concubine, and how many times Guo Zhenzhen witnessed it by her side.
The moment she spoke, Jiang Wan felt familiar.
said that it was a reprimand, but in fact, this morning, it was more like I came to accompany her to see how she 'stood up'.
When I came out of the palace, it was time for lunch.
Concubine Qing is the most emotional, and before she came out of the Anxuan Palace, her voice had already let go of what Guo Zhenzhen was saying.
Jiang Wan walked fast and was not caught by Concubine Qing, but she didn't know if Concubine Chun had as good luck as her, if she was blocked by Concubine Qing at the door, I was afraid that she would not be able to leave easily.
After listening to the words about 'harmony between concubines and concubines' all morning, Jiang Wan didn't move much, so she didn't feel hungry, and when Jingyue said what she was preparing for lunch today, Jiang Wan rarely interrupted her, saying that she wanted to go to the Crane Tower.
She hadn't been up to the bell tower in a long time.
Some nostalgia.
Jingyue responded and quietly accompanied Jiang Wan over there.
Before, Qi Dao knelt in front of the Jintuo Gate, and could see the outline of the Crane Tower from afar, but through the Jintuo Gate, he had to pass through a garden.
In the palace, pavilions and pavilions built around the garden can be seen everywhere, rockeries, small lakes, stone paths, and so on.
At this time, there should not be anyone here, so go around the craggy path and lean out.
Jiang Wan unexpectedly swept away, and next to the crane tower, there was a tall figure standing.
She didn't take a closer look, turned around and prepared to avoid, who knew that the people over there had already heard the footsteps of her and Jingyue, and before Jiang Wan could retreat, she had already heard him speak: "Which little master is there?" β
The voice was very familiar, Jiang Wan paused, and turned sideways.
She saw the person who also turned to look at her, with a bright face, like a jade child.
She hadn't seen him for three years, and she didn't know that he had returned.
When they meet again, he no longer knows who the person in front of him is.
Jingyue was also shocked, and snorted lightly: "Burning Gongzi? β
Lu Ran glanced at him and suddenly smiled: "The little master is the concubine Jing Niangniang who has been favored recently, right?" The grass people Lu Ran, greet the mother. β
Jiang Wan stood still, and after a long time, she bowed slightly.
She was supposed to stop and turned to leave.
But she looked at Lu Ran, and couldn't help but say more: "What is Childe looking at?" β
Lu Ran lowered his eyes and smiled, and looked up at the towering crane tower again: "I'm looking at an old man." β
An old man who climbed this building and stayed here forever.
Jiang Wan's eyelashes trembled, knowing what he said, she suddenly felt a little hurt.
Lu Ran turned his face away, and looked at Jiang Wan's eyes carefully: "The eyes of the little master are very beautiful, like an old man of mine." β
After saying this, Lu Ran was shocked that he was abrupt, and hurriedly gave up his hand, and the person who turned around and left first became his.
Revisit.
Her shadow can be seen everywhere.
It's just that she never seemed to understand.
How much he loved her.
