Morning and dusk are the daily homework that the concubines must do. Xiaomeng had to "follow the customs", but fortunately, Concubine Jing, who made her heart palpitate, did not come to Cining Palace from time to time, and it seemed that she had been strictly forbidden since the last time. Fortunately, Xiaozhuang is not Cixi, the ancestor who will raise a generation of Ming Emperor Kangxi makes Xiaomeng admire, and she is sincerely willing to serve her. As long as she is in good spirits, she will definitely go to say goodbye, and she will definitely bring a pot of herbal tea that she has prepared by herself for everyone to drink.

Peach blossom can detoxify and nourish the skin, delay aging, and have a significant effect on the treatment of melasma, freckles, liver spots, pigmentation and acne caused by endocrine......"

When Xiaomeng talked eloquently, the queen mother and the concubines would listen attentively. Every morning, a pot of different herbal teas, different combinations, different functions, and then explain in detail, Xiaomeng is happy to do this, because in doing so, it can make those concubines who are always arguing at her, mocking and sarcastic, also calm down and listen carefully.

It only takes one or twenty minutes a day, and then she will retire at the right time, and she will not stay long. Keeping things fresh is always more important than being able to do anything.

It was in such a morning meeting that Xiaomeng met the legendary "Tongxuan Teacher - Tang Ruowang". John Tong was a missionary of the Jesuit Church in Germany, who came to China in the second year of Tomorrow Qi, he was well versed in astronomy, translated a lot of books, and made great achievements and had a wide influence in China. The seal of the Zhangqin Heavenly Supervisor, the officials of the prison and all matters such as the calendar, the marquis, and the selection, etc., are held by the official of the palm seal, John Tang.

When this foreign missionary stood comically in front of the Queen Mother in the official uniform of the Qing Dynasty, Xiao Dream played such a figure, and the Queen Mother and the Emperor trusted and respected him more than anyone else.

John Tang explained his intentions. It turned out that the Queen Mother gave him two ploughing oxen for manor cultivation yesterday, and today she specially entered the palace to thank her. The Queen Mother smiled: "You're polite, why should the father-in-law hide such a small matter from the daughter-in-law, if it weren't for someone mentioning it to the mourning family, the mourning family wouldn't know about it." What is the need in the future, although I say to the mourners. ”

The Queen Mother gave him a seat, and ordered someone to pour him a cup of herbal tea brought by Xiaomeng: "This is made by Concubine Dong E's own hands, you can taste it." ”

Tang Ruowang looked at Concubine Dong E and smiled, as if he was very familiar with Concubine Dong E, and it seemed that he should have met a lot. He took a sip of tea and nodded: "Well, it's very fragrant and sweet, I haven't seen Niangniang for a long time, and Niangniang's craftsmanship has improved again." ”

"Don't dare to be it, Marfa has won the prize." She seems to have read that it is written in the book, and Fulin calls John Tang "Marfa", so it should not be wrong for her to follow this name.

Sure enough, no one felt unusual.

The Queen Mother smiled and asked: "I haven't walked around the palace for a long time, I should come often in the future, and accompany the mourning family to chat, the mourning family is really bored." What has my stepfather been up to lately? ”

"It's nothing more than the work of Qin Tianjian, and he often observes celestial phenomena."

"What's the interesting celestial phenomenon lately?"

"Oh, yes. The minister is about to tell the queen mother that if the minister estimates well, there should be a total solar eclipse tomorrow, and the queen mother can enjoy this rare astronomical spectacle with the emperor and the mothers. ”

"Total solar eclipse? What is a total solar eclipse? The Queen Mother asked puzzled.

"Empress Dowager Qi, the so-called total solar eclipse is actually a type of solar eclipse, that is, the sun is completely covered by the moon. If the Sun, Moon, and Earth are aligned in or close to a straight line, the Moon blocks the sunlight that hits the Earth, and the dark shadow behind the Moon falls on the Earth, and a solar eclipse occurs. People in the shadow of the moon on the earth began to see the sunlight gradually weakening, the sun surface was obscured by a round black shadow, when the sky turned dark, all the brightest stars and planets could be seen in the sky, and after a few minutes, the sunlight gradually appeared from the edge of the moon's dark shadow, and began to glow and recircle. Since the Moon is smaller than the Earth, only people in the shadow of the Moon will be able to see a total solar eclipse. ”

"Sounds a little complicated." The Queen Mother still doesn't quite understand.

"Hehe, in fact, it's easy to say, Queen Mother, think about it, we are human beings living on the earth, the reason why we can see things is because of the sun's irradiation, so if the moon blocks the sun, then the earth will not become dark and can't see things. This phenomenon is very rare to see, because generally speaking, the moon appears at night and the sun appears during the day, right? John Tang patiently explained.

"Yes, it's really rare to say this," the Queen Mother nodded: "Okay, let's wait for this total solar eclipse tomorrow to see who is lucky." ”

The queen concubine chattered, and the queen mother and Tang Ruowang chatted about some other things, but Xiaomeng didn't listen to it at all, and she fell into deep thought. When she heard John Tong's description of the total solar eclipse, Xiaomeng suddenly remembered the day she left the 21st century, she was riding, riding, and her eyes were dark, could it be a total solar eclipse? On that day, a total solar eclipse occurred.

According to the various time-traveling novels and movies that Xiaomeng has watched, whenever time travel occurs, there must be a medium of time and space. This medium is often different, sometimes it is a time shuttle, sometimes it is a line of planets, etc., but does her own time travel have anything to do with a total solar eclipse? Or there are more factors that exist. Otherwise, why was she the only one who had crossed over?

If she can solve the mystery of time travel, she may be able to return to the 21st century, to the dream cabin she thinks about day and night. No, she must consult John Tong, and she must ask clearly, how powerful is the total solar eclipse? Is it possible to change time and space?

When she came back to her senses, she saw that Tang Ruowang had already retired to the Queen Mother and was staggering out of Cining Palace. Xiaomeng also quickly stood up and said goodbye to the Queen Mother, and hurriedly chased after him.

In the blink of an eye, John Tang had lost his trace. Xiaomeng judged that he must have passed through the Imperial Garden and then exited the palace through the Shenwu Gate, and immediately chased after the Imperial Garden. The flowers and birds in the royal garden are whispering, the small bridge is flowing water, and there is no human figure in sight. Xiaomeng stood on the curved bridge, looked around blankly, and sighed in frustration.

"Hehehe, sigh what, will the imperial concubine also have something to worry about? Don't pretend, do you really want to sigh when people like us are lonely in the cold palace? ”

Xiao Meng's heart chuckled, how could he not recognize that cold and ruthless voice? She turned around, and sure enough, she saw Concubine Jing, who suddenly stood in front of her like a ghost. The little face like a fairy approached her eyes, so close, but it made her heart hair like a devil. She wasn't crazy, she believed she wasn't crazy, but she scared her more than the really crazy concubine.

There is an eerie aura on her, which is unique to the kind of cold person, and Xiaomeng turns around and wants to escape, leaving her is the best choice. But she actually reached out and hugged her.

"You still want to run, where are you going? Do you want to go to the emperor? Spoil him, complain to him. You still have to pretend, pretend to be pitiful, pretend to be innocent and kind, but in my opinion, you are the biggest liar in the whole world. is obviously a broken flower and a willow, but she still has to pretend to be as chaste as a saint. Phew! Who am I? I am the princess of Kormi, Mongolia, I am the daughter of Wu Keshan, I have been clothed and fed since I was a child, calling for wind and rain, I am the real noble, the real holy. The emperor is blind, cousin he is really blind. He doesn't know anything about my heart for him. He's just going to get angry, he's just going to argue with me. He's so headstrong, he doesn't know what he wants? Concubine Jing suddenly let go of her hand, squatted down and cried.

Xiao dreamed that she was like this, but she didn't want to run away. She felt very sad in her heart, in fact, Concubine Jing was right, if Fulin could not be prejudiced against her and love her well, Fulin and her would be the most noble pair of partners in the world.

Xiaomeng also squatted down and comforted him softly: "Don't cry, Concubine Jing, as long as you treat the emperor well and treat him gently, the emperor will change his mind." I'm sure he still has a lot of affection for you. ”

Before the words fell, Concubine Jing suddenly stood up again, wiped away her tears, her expression was awe-inspiring and stubborn, and she sneered: "Hmph! You don't have to care, the cat cries and the mouse is fake compassion. I'm not as hypocritical as you, and I've never been merciful. ”

She suddenly looked at Xiaomeng with a strange smile, and then whispered, "Do you want to know how your fourth prince died?" I might as well tell you that it was me, and it was I who secretly took the clothes of the third elder brother who had smallpox for him to wear, and he had smallpox. Why is your son the 'first son of mine'? Only me, only the son born to me, the queen, is the 'first son in the world', why should my prince be stillborn, but yours can grow up healthy and healthy. I don't, I want to fight with the sky, hahaha, hahaha. ”

Xiaomeng looked at Concubine Jing with wide eyes and incredulity, she is really a devil, a baby who has just been born for three months can do it, she is crazy. "You're so ruthless, it's incredible!" Xiaomeng shook her head and stepped back, oh my God, she did all this just out of jealousy.

Concubine Jing said: "Ruthless? In the palace, there has always been only the law of survival of life and death, and there is nothing ruthless that is not ruthless. For example, you, on the day of the Queen Mother's birthday, didn't you also dig out your mind to flatter the Queen Mother in front of the Queen Mother? Isn't it just to make the Queen Mother like you and make the Emperor love you more? ”

"No, it's not. I admit that the Queen Mother is happy, and I am also very happy. But I do so many things purely just to make the Queen Mother's birthday happy, because I love them, I want them to be happy, that's all. I've never thought of flattery. ”

"Really? So noble. Then you can do something to make me happy. How about going down and taking a shower? Concubine Jing smiled weirdly, and before Xiaomeng could react, she had already pushed her into the water.

"Help! Help! "Xiaomeng can't swim and struggles desperately to call for help.

"Tell you to flirt with the emperor, ask you to flirt with the emperor, can't it, hahaha, I'm angry when I look at you, I'm angry, you're funny. Hahaha. Concubine Jing clapped her hands and laughed and scolded happily.

Little dream, this is over, I am really going to die at the hands of this crazy woman, I am only eighteen years old, and I am going to say goodbye to this world. Forget it, forget it, it's better to go back, it's better to go back...... Her consciousness was blurry, choking on her nose, throat, and lungs.

"! Niangniang ......" She vaguely heard Xia He's crisp shout. Then the voices of people were boiling, the sounds of running, cries for help, and the sounds of voices were heard, but then, all of a sudden, there was silence.

When Xiaomeng regained consciousness, he first heard Fulin's roar in his ears: "What are you waiting for, don't you want me to go down, haven't you heard my will?" Pull me down and make a decision. Do you hear that? Kill it! Such a femme fatale woman, I will never allow her! ”

"Your Majesty," it was the angry voice of the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, "Are you going to make up your mind to declare war on the whole of Mongolia?" The 49 Banners of Mongolia is the Great Wall of the Qing Dynasty, the barrier of the Qing Dynasty, do you want to destroy this Great Wall with your own hands? Do you really want to ignore the Qing Dynasty? Do you really want to start another war where countless soldiers die on the battlefield and countless families fall apart? The world has just been stable, Fulin, the stability of the court is more important than anything else! Fulin, do you have to sacrifice so much for the sake of a woman? ”

"I don't care, it's been two days, Wanru just doesn't wake up, if she has any three longs and two shorts, no, just with your vicious heart, I can kill you, why do you dare to kill Wanru? Why are you? Just with the Mongolian Forty-Nine Banners? Well, I tell you, I'm not afraid, I'm going to kill you, let them take revenge, let them come, I will go to the battlefield until death! ”

"Smack!" Xiaomeng heard a crisp slap and Concubine Jing's sneer. This slap, the Queen Mother must have been very heartbroken. After a short silence, what I heard immediately was Fu Lin's cold word by word order: "I am the emperor, no one can change my will, I can depose the queen despite the opposition of the queen mother and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, and today, I can kill her." Drag it out, slash! ”

The Queen Mother shuddered, this willful and stubborn son, she knew that he could do what he said.

"No, Your Majesty." Xiaomeng let out a faint cry, and at this time, she couldn't help but make a sound. The emperor knew that Concubine Jing was going to kill Concubine Jing when she pushed her into the water, so if the emperor knew that Concubine Jing killed his beloved four princes, how could he not cut Concubine Jing with a thousand knives? Xiaomeng decided to hide this matter and never mentioned it.

"Aifei, you're awake!" Fu Lin was overjoyed, he held Xiaomeng's hand, his face full of pity. The Queen Mother also breathed a sigh of relief and instructed the Imperial Doctor to show Concubine Dong E quickly. Doctor Hu Tai checked the pulse and said: "Empress Dowager Qiyu, the emperor, Niangniang is already very weak, she has been seriously ill twice, and she has not completely recovered at all, this time she fell into the water and had a cold, and her lungs were greatly damaged, and I am afraid that it will take a long time to recuperate." "Doctor Hu didn't dare to say, in fact, the chances of a complete recovery were very slim.

"Then Imperial Doctor Hu, go down and prescribe medicine." The Queen Mother said.

"Wow!" Imperial Physician Hu stepped back.

Xiao Meng saw that Fu Lin's face was already blue, he looked at Concubine Jing angrily, and ordered again: "Drag me down, and make a decision!" ”

"Don't, Your Majesty, don't kill Concubine Jing." Xiaomeng struggled down and knelt in front of Fu Lin. This is the first time she has knelt down to Fulin for more than half a year since she came to the Qing Dynasty.

Fu Lin hurriedly pulled her up, but Xiaomeng didn't get up, she cried: "Your Majesty, if you don't agree to the concubines, the concubines won't get up." If the concubine is not dead, you will spare Concubine Jing and don't put her to death. Concubine Jing did this because she loved the emperor, please have mercy on her heart, forgive her, and forgive her concubines. If this incident really causes a war, the concubine will be the sinner of the Qing Dynasty. The concubine doesn't want to be a sinner, please, the emperor, even if it's for the concubine, is it okay? Please! ”

Fu Lin squatted down, hugged Xiao Meng, and choked up: "I don't know, as an emperor, what else do I have to do to protect you from being harmed." ”

"Your Majesty."

The Queen Mother and Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter couldn't help but burst into tears, only Concubine Jing, who was numb and expressionless.

"Aifei, get up, I promise you."

Fu Lin picked up Xiaomeng, and then said coldly: "I, the next edict, from today onwards, Concubine Jing will be placed under house arrest in the side palace." No one is allowed to visit without my permission. After Concubine Jing died, she was not allowed to be buried in the imperial mausoleum. ”

Fu Lin is willful, and he is so decisive. When Concubine Jing was alive, he did not recognize her as the queen; After Concubine Jing died, he didn't recognize her as a royal person. Hearing this, Concubine Jing sat on the ground with a face like ashes.

The Queen Mother didn't say a word, maybe she was helpless to take the emperor, maybe she acquiesced.
