Chapter 22: Dragon's Anger
In the imperial study, Meng Hongyu stood quietly in front of the window, looking up at the cold stars in the sky. %&*"; In the distance, there were bursts of jackdaws screaming, which made him feel inexplicably irritable.
He clenched his fists tightly and slammed the window so hard that the lattice snapped.
Lu Yao rushed to the room when he heard the voice: "Your Majesty, what happened?" ”
Meng Hongyu didn't turn around, just stretched out his right hand, waved his hand weakly, and said tiredly, "It's okay." Stand down. ”
Lu Yao heard the sadness in his tone, and retreated silently. He knew that their emperor was furious at this time. Tonight is sure to be a sleepless night!
Sure enough, Meng Hongyu stayed awake all night, as long as he closed his eyes, he would think of Su Zirong's face, her light smile, her low moan, her clear piano sound, and she gently put on a robe for him......
Why? He was about to forget her, Xiao Ziling was going to mention her?
However, what he hated more was himself - after so many years, he thought that he had forgotten the woman named "Su Zirong", who knows, Ziling's unintentional words provoked all his anger!
He hated that he still remembered her in his heart, and he hated that he would be angry for her!
Well, Xiao Ziling provoked his anger, then, she will be punished - whether she has it intentionally or not!
On the second day, the Ministry of Internal Affairs came to Yongle Palace to proclaim:
"Concubine Xiao, ignoring the holy edict, took Princess Xinyu to the Cold Moon Palace to meet Concubine De privately, violated the palace rules, was grounded for seven days, and was not allowed to step out of Yongle Palace without permission. Chin this. ”
is a "noble concubine Xiao Shi", Zi Ling's heart is as cold as three feet of ice. Finally, she became a nameless person again, and at this time, she was no longer the pink herself who talked about poetry and lyrics with him, but "Guifei Xiao". i^ One of his many concubines!
The man turned his face, and he was really the most ruthless!
It turned out that Meng Hongyu had already known that Ziling often took Yu'er to Ningxue Hall to see Concubine De, however, considering that the Queen Mother was sick and could not be stimulated, he didn't want the Queen Mother to be sad. On the other hand, considering that Yu'er was born to Concubine De after all, the mother and daughter can't really see each other in this life, so they turned a blind eye and turned a deaf ear.
However, Zi Ling made him angry last night, and he couldn't tell the world that he was angry because he heard the words "Su Zirong", right? Therefore, he pushed the boat down the river and investigated Xiao Ziling's crime of "ignoring the holy oracle".
This is the punishment he gave her!
As soon as the eunuchs who announced the decree left, Xiaoru hurriedly picked up Ziling and said sadly: "Guifei Niangniang, how can you mention Concubine Rong Niangniang in front of the emperor?" Concubine Rong's name is a taboo in this palace! ”
"However, since I entered the palace, no one has told me about this taboo!" Zi Ling said aggrievedly.
She suddenly understood - it turned out that Meng Hongyu was inexplicably angry, not really because she had a private meeting with Concubine De, but because she mentioned Concubine Rong in front of him!
But why was he so angry? Is it because he hates her? Or is it because he loves her dearly?
However, the palace maids and eunuchs around Ziling didn't know the inside story and couldn't tell her a thing or two.
Seven days, maybe not long.
Look at writing, writing, playing the piano, and play with Yu'er for a while in your spare time, and the seven days will soon pass.
However, in the past seven days, Meng Hongyu has not come to see her and Yu'er. Thinking of this, Zi Ling's heart became more and more sad.
The man who used to love her the most actually grounded her because of a trivial matter like a sesame mung bean, which shows that no matter how great the favor is, it is fleeting. As long as he gets angry, he can turn his face in an instant, regardless of the slightest kindness, being grounded for seven days is just a small punishment, and entering the cold palace or beheading the public is the great commandment!
Jun is kind and evil, the joy is thin, and he is in love today, and he will abandon it like a piece of decay in the future. The king is so affectionate, who can the three thousand women in this harem rely on except themselves?
Therefore, they have to do everything possible to protect themselves, and even more so to frame others in every possible way!
And the root of all this evil is because the man who is on the throne is not enough for them to rely on!
Seven days later, Meng Hongyu still didn't come to see Ziling.
The harem has long been full of rumors that the "noble concubine Xiao family" has fallen out of favor, and Ziling has never heard it.
Ziling knew that Meng Hongyu had a new love, and in the past half a month, he had often been in the same hospital, and his appearance was as white as frost.
Bai Rushuang's father is a veteran under Ziling's eldest brother Xiao Zixun, named Bai Zhongming, who is brave and good at fighting, brave and loyal.
At the beginning, Bai Zhongming intended to marry Bai Rushuang to Ziling's second brother Xiao Zilu, but Xiao Zilu had already married the daughter of the Ministry of Shangshu, so this marriage could only be abandoned. Later, in the emperor's election, Bai Rushuang and Ziling were sent to the draft and were selected.
Bai Rushuang and Zi Ling have known each other since childhood, but "Ye Xin", who crossed over to Zi Ling, didn't know about it, so after entering the palace, Zi Ling only greeted her politely when they met several times, as if they had never met before.
Bai Rushuang didn't know the truth, thinking that Ziling had been favored by Ziling as a "concubine", and looked down on her "Zhaorong", so she pretended not to know her. Bai Rushuang also hated Ziling for not loving the old love and not "promoting" herself, so she always held a grudge and only thought about revenge one day.
Now, Ziling has fallen out of favor, and Bai Rushuang has been favored. Although it is a good time to take revenge, Bai Rushuang is not stupid, she knows that the emperor hates the concubines the most, and if she does something jealous to provoke Long Yan's anger, then the emperor's favor that she has finally won will be "just like a river flowing eastward".
Therefore, she just served the emperor with all her heart, pleased the emperor, and then quietly waited for the opportunity.
On this day, the spring rain was dashing, Ziling was listening to the rain by the railing, and suddenly remembered Concubine De in Ningxue Hall.
I haven't seen her for so many days, she must miss Yu'er very much, right? Perhaps, she will blame herself for the grounding of Zi Ling. In the cold palace, she is already depressed, she sits all day long, if she hurts her mind because of this incident again, it is not good to hurt her body.
Zi Ling's life is like grinding and laying paper, fill in a song "Golden Wisp Song":
"When has I been missing? Looking forward to tomorrow, the rain will break, and the weather will be warm. May you be relieved and don't think too much, and blame yourself in vain. Don't feel that the food is tasteless. Don't make the tower lock lonely, lonely, and a sad place. Sorrow and resentment, abandon early!
A few words are sent from afar, please look forward to the joy of the coming year, and the mother and daughter lean on each other. Flesh and blood are separated from each other, how can there be such a reason in the world? I and you, confidants in this life, are not afraid of being imprisoned and imprisoned, waiting to meet, in the bright moon and breeze. After saying nothing, the pen was put aside. ”(1)
After the ink dried, Zi Ling sealed the letterhead and asked Xiaoru to send it to Ning Xue Hall.
