Under the flickering candlelight, Su Zirong hugged the broken jade pot of ice in her arms,^ she looked at the dripping rain outside the window in a daze, and burst into tears. Since the afternoon, she has not spoken a word, nor has she eaten or drunk, locked herself in her room, looked at the broken jade pot ice, and wept silently.

Zi Ling didn't know how to comfort her, so she could only stay by her side silently, looking at her sadness and despair, and her heart was sad for a while.

The wind of early autumn brought a hint of chill into the house, and Zi Ling was wearing a thin shirt and couldn't help but feel cold. She walked softly to the window, and the rain drifted in through the window, gently brushing her face, so that she couldn't bear to close the window.

"Zhu string is broken, the mirror is missing, the morning dew, the fang is resting, the white head is groaning, and the injury is parting." (1) Su Zirong's complaining voice came from behind him, Ziling turned around, bit her lip and looked at her quietly. Suddenly, she smiled beautifully at Zi Ling, and continued to say quietly: "Jinshui soup soup, and Jun Changjue!" ”（2）

Zi Ling's heart tightened, and she seemed to feel her grievances and determination-she finally decided to give up this heavy love!

"Sister Ling, do you see that? That's what happens when you fall in love with that man! Su Zirong's grief gradually gritted his teeth, "I have expelled him from my heart, and from now on, I will have nothing to do with him!" ”

What happens when you fall in love with that man...... End ...... Ziling's heart was heavy, so sad that her heart hurt, she pursed her lips, and wanted to ask Su Zirong - I am already in love with him, what should I do? What to do? - After all, Zi Ling still didn't speak.

The rain outside the window gradually became heavier, and the raindrops knocked on the wide banana leaves, like a lingering and graceful word - Ping, Ping, Ping......

On the second day, the weather cleared, but the fallen leaves and flowers in the courtyard were stacked like snow, and the autumn chrysanthemum under the window of Ziling's bedroom was also beaten by the night rain, just like Su Zirong's haggard face. %&*"; There was a thin mist between the heavens and the earth, damp like the heart of a child's spirit.

After freshening up early, Ziling went to Cining Palace to greet the Queen Mother. For many years, Su Zirong has lived in a simple house, and there is no need to ask the Queen Mother for peace, but today, she wants to follow Ziling for the first time.

When I arrived at Cining Palace, I saw that Liu Ruxin was already waiting in the Guangshou Hall, and Bai Rushuang was also sitting quietly on the side, and they didn't speak to each other.

Seeing Su Zirong, Liu Ruxin and Bai Rushuang were slightly stunned, Bai Rushuang hurriedly put on a smile and said to Su Zirong: "It's rare that Sister Rong is here today, that's really good." ”

Su Zirong politely pulled the corners of his mouth to reveal a stiff smile, and did not answer.

Liu Ruxin has been much more low-key since she gave birth, not as aggressive as in the past, but today it is rare to see Su Zirong, who is more neglected than her, and she can't help but reveal her true nature again: "Concubine Rong came to see you, aren't you sisters?" ”

- Liu Ruxin has heard about yesterday's events, so of course this cynicism is for a reason.

Su Zirong was still as cold as ice, white as frost and slightly embarrassed, Ziling hurriedly smiled and said: "Seeing that Liu Zhaorong is so radiant today, it seems that his body is very good, when can he get pregnant again." ”

After that miscarriage, the imperial doctor said that Liu Ruxin's body was greatly damaged, and it was estimated that it would be difficult to get pregnant, and Ziling deliberately mentioned this matter to expose her scars - who asked Liu Ruxin to bully her sister Rong!

Liu Ruxin was about to reply, at this time Lin Yueyao came out with the Queen Mother, and after Lin Yueyao became pregnant, she lived in Cining Palace and was personally taken care of by Aunt Shuwen.

The concubines hurriedly got up to say goodbye, and the Queen Mother nodded and motioned for them to take their seats.

After glancing at Su Zirong, the Queen Mother was also slightly stunned, and then smiled at her lovingly and said, "Concubine Rong is also here today, the mourning family is really happy." ”

Su Zirong was not flattered, but said lightly: "The concubine is not at ease with the concubine, so she followed." ”

Even so, in the past, Ling came to Cining Palace to ask the Queen Mother for peace, but Su Zirong never came with her. Why did she come with her today, Zi Ling was still puzzled.

Lin Yueyao couldn't get used to seeing Ziling and Su Zirong's sisterly affection, and said in a weird manner: "Concubine Rong and Concubine Gui Niangniang are really good sisters—oh, and Bai Zhaorong—your relationship is very deep......"

The Queen Mother coughed slightly, Lin Yueyao quickly silenced her mouth, and said to the Queen Mother: "Auntie, your cough is not good yet, it is better to ask Aunt Shuwen to bring you a bowl of bird's nest to moisten your throat." ”

"In that case, Shu Wen, you go and see if the bird's nest is enough, and if it is enough, give each of them a bowl." The Queen Mother instructed Aunt Shuwen.

After a while, Shu Wen came, and the palace maid behind her was holding a delicate white jade plate with three small bowls of bird's nest on the plate.

Aunt Shuwen said: "Queen Mother, there are only three bowls of bird's nest, and the slaves and maids have brought it." ”

"Then give Yao'er and Xiao Guifei a bowl each, they are pregnant with a child now, it's good to eat some bird's nest." The Queen Mother was explaining the reason why she gave bird's nest to Ziling and Lin Yueyao, so that the concubines would not think she was biased.

Shu Wen picked up the bird's nest and handed it to the Queen Mother, and the palace maids also brought the bird's nest to Lin Yueyao and Ziling.

Taking the bird's nest in the small bowl of white porcelain, Ziling gently scooped up a spoonful, but saw Su Zirong, who was sitting on her left hand, frowning at her. - Why did she frown at herself? Zi Ling also frowned slightly, expressing his puzzlement.

I blew lightly, only smelled a faint aroma, the color of the bird's nest is clear, and it looks like a good bird's nest! There's nothing out of the ordinary, huh? I opened my mouth and was about to send it into my mouth—

Su Zirong suddenly got up and swept the bird's nest in Ziling's hand to the ground - a crisp porcelain crushing sound sounded, the bowl of bird's nest fell to the ground, and the fragments of the small white porcelain bowl also splashed on the ground.

Everyone was frightened by Su Zirong's sudden move, and Ziling looked at Su Zirong in a daze, his eyes full of doubts.

But seeing Su Zirong's pale face and fine sweat on her forehead, she was also frightened by her actions, and after a while, she seemed to suddenly realize what she had just done!

She knelt down with a thud, and hurriedly pleaded guilty: "The concubine should die, the concubine remembered the past for a while, and she didn't realize that the ghost was confused, and she did such a rebellious thing, I hope the queen mother will forgive me!" ”

Ziling also hurriedly knelt down to intercede for Su Zirong: "Sister Rong is unintentional, I hope the Queen Mother will forgive me." ”

The hall was silent, and everyone looked at the Queen Mother quietly, wanting to see what she would do with Su Zirong.

Who knows, the Queen Mother also didn't speak for a long time, and gradually, her face turned slightly pale, and her lips trembled slightly, as if she was angry and sad......

For a long time, for a long time, the Queen Mother finally spoke: "Such a trivial matter, I hope Concubine Rong will not take it to heart, and the mourning family will not go to the heart......"
