Chapter 40: Hwasan Gi

%&*"; i^

After Lin Yueyao listened to Xiao Ziling's words. In an instant, his expression changed dramatically. I saw that her face was pale. The eyes are full of fear. Biting her lower lip tightly. I was so scared that I couldn't say anything to see that she reflected like this. Zi Ling was even more convinced that Lin Yueyao must have a ghost in her heart.

Really. Ginger is still old and spicy. The Queen Mother, the old Jiang, saw that Lin Yueyao was frightened by Xiao Ziling's words and lost her soul. I couldn't speak for a long time. Hurry up for Lin Yueyao to round the field. pretended to complain about Ziling: "Yao'er just gave birth to a little prince. Isn't that a pleasure? Xiao Guifei suddenly brought up the dead people. What a bad luck. No wonder Yao'er is upset."

"yes, yes." Lin Yueyao went down the ladder that the Queen Mother had set up for her. Quickly nodded and said. What a bad luck. Let's not mention Concubine Rong."

Zi Ling sneered in his heart. I really want to go up and grab Lin Yueyao and beat her up. However. She still tried to suppress the anger in her heart. Pretended to apologize to Lin Yueyao: "Look at my mouth. It's really worth playing. It's me who didn't think it through. Say something unpleasant. I hope Concubine Yao doesn't go to her heart."

Lin Yueyao's face softened slightly. Reluctantly squeezed out a smile and said, "How could it be."

Zi Ling smiled. Beckoning to the jade slave to approach. Yunu hurriedly handed over the delicate brocade box he was holding in his hand. I saw Zi Ling slowly open the brocade box. Take out a delicate jade pendant from the box. The jade pendant is a pure, saturated emerald green. Delicate texture. Carved with a laughing boy. Lifelike.

Hold the jade pendant in the palm of your hand. A hint of coolness came from the palm of your hand. It's like a wave of hatred. Straight into Zi Ling's heart. Spread out your palms. Zi Ling said with a smile: "It's the first time I've seen the little prince. Zi Ling didn't have anything good to give. Just give this jade pendant to the little prince. I hope Concubine Yao should not be too polite."

"How so. The concubine thanked the concubine for the emperor." Lin Yueyao nodded with a smile. Motioned to Mu Xue to accept the jade pendant. Mu Xue stepped forward. Took the brocade box in the hand of the jade slave with both hands. Zi Ling gently put the jade pendant into the brocade box and said, "Concubine Yao, don't be polite to me. I also borrow flowers to offer Buddha. This jade pendant was originally given by Sister Rong...... Yikes. Excuse me. I forgot ......" pretending to be "unintentionally" mentioning Su Zirong. Zi Ling hurriedly frowned and "apologized".

Really. I heard Zi Ling's words. Lin Yueyao's face changed again. looked at the brocade box in Mu Xue's hand with fear. Without thinking, he blurted out, "Get me the jade pendant farther away."

Mu Xue was taken aback. Stunned, he stood still. Don’t know whether to wind a watch or bark at the moon. The little prince in the arms of the Queen Mother was also frightened by Lin Yueyao's sudden interruption." Wow wow" burst into tears. The Queen Mother hurriedly instructed the nurse to take the little prince down.

Zi Ling looked coldly at Lin Yueyao's abnormal reaction. There was a look of clarity in his eyes. In his heart, he further concluded that Su Zirong's death must be related to Lin Yueyao.

The Queen Mother is also a little at a loss. I had to pretend to reproach Lin Yueyao and said, "How can Yao'er be so rude. Even if you don't like this jade pendant. You can't be so presumptuous."

Lin Yueyao's eyes were filled with tears. Clutching the quilt with both hands. Pursed her lips and didn't speak. Seeing Lin Yueyao like this. The Queen Mother hurriedly said to Ziling: "This kid is playing tricks again. Concubine Xiao, don't take it to heart."

Zi Ling smiled and said, "How could it be. Since Concubine Yao doesn't like it. I'll just get it back. I'll send you something good another day."

Motioned to the jade slave to take the jade pendant in Mu Xue's hand. Zi Ling said goodbye to the Queen Mother: "Zi Ling still retired first. I hope that the Queen Mother will persuade Concubine Yao. Don't be angry with your son."

"That's good. Concubine Xiao Guifei will go back first." As soon as I heard Zi Ling say that he was leaving. The Queen Mother hurriedly asked Shu Wen to send her out.

The moment I stepped out of Cining Palace. Zi Ling showed a sneer. There was hatred in his eyes......

After returning to Cining Palace. Zi Ling locked himself in the study and buried himself in writing. Jiang Yan's "Hate Fu" (1) unfolds word by word under her pen. Write to the last sentence "Since ancient times there has been death. Don't drink and swallow your voice". Zi Ling couldn't cry anymore. Her hands trembled as she wrote the word "hate" crookedly. Finally. She couldn't hold back her grief any longer. Place the pen heavily on the pen holder. Fall in a chair and cry.

Yunu stood quietly outside the study. I heard Zi Ling's buzzing cry. My heart was filled with grief and indignation. Though. She didn't know what had happened to Zi Ling. But she could feel the sadness in Zi Ling's heart. After Ouyang Ying's visit. Zi Ling's grief and indignation seemed to be a little less "sad" and a little more "angry".

Suddenly. Xiao Rulai reported that the emperor was coming. The jade slave was anxious. Hurry up and knock on the door to inform Zi Ling to know. The harem concubines were tear-stained and disheveled, and went to see the holy face. But it's a big taboo.

However. Ren Yunu was anxious and knocked on the door and said that the emperor was coming. But the door was kept unmoved. The people in the house did not say a word. A while. Meng Hongyu has come outside the study. Standing behind the jade slave.

I saw that the emperor was coming. The jade slave hurriedly blessed himself and asked Meng Hongyu for peace. Then he defended Zi Ling in a panic: "The noble concubine Niangniang is probably tired of reading. I didn't know if I slept for a long time. Your Majesty, wait a minute. The slave and maid will knock on the door again......"

"No need. Stand down." Meng Hongyu said slightly displeased. The jade slave had to get up and leave. But I was worried to death. Therefore, I did not dare to go far. So he secretly hid behind the rockery.

Meng Hongyu stood outside the closed door. I was about to raise my hand and knock on the door. The door creaked open. Ziling's eyes are slightly swollen. However, the smile on his face was bright. She greeted Meng Hongyu with a clever smile. Said softly: "I just took a nap for a while. I didn't know the emperor was coming. There is a long way to go. I hope the emperor will forgive your sins."

Although Zi Ling has this statement. But Meng Hongyu still carefully found her red and swollen eyes. So he lowered his head and asked softly, "Why are your eyes so red. But I cried."

"The emperor is wise. Zi Ling had indeed just cried." Zi Ling sniffed on his slightly reddened nose. Said with his white teeth as white as jade. Just read "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai". I can't help but think of the love between Sister Rong and the emperor. Zi Ling burst into tears unconsciously......"

Hearing Zi Ling mention Su Zirong. Meng Hongyu's expression also darkened a lot. Zi Ling took the opportunity to stare at his eyes tightly. He groaned faintly: "Huashangi. Huashangi. Jun is dead for Nong. For whom the only child is giving?" (2)

Meng Hongyu listened. Looks slightly sick. He said sarcastically: "The beautiful woman is gone. Don't worry too much. Concubine Rong needs to know that you are so sad. I can't bear it."

"The emperor will be like Ziling. I often think of Sister Rong." Zi Ling asked deliberately. Then he looked at him secretly.

"Of course. I won't forget her." Meng Hongyu seemed to have sensed that Ziling was deliberately trying to mention Su Zirong in front of him today. She knew something.

Thinking that Zi Ling may already know the conspiracy behind Su Zirong's death. Meng Hongyu couldn't help but worry.

Concentrate:

(1) "Hate Fu". Liang dynasty. Jiang Yan. The language is fresh and the words are exquisite. depicts the grief and resentment from the Emperor to the frustrated scholars. It summarizes all kinds of resentments and resentments in life.

(2) Speak out of the Southern Dynasty folk song "Huashangi". Legend has it that she was a woman during the Southern Dynasty. Singing while mourning the death of her lover who died for her martyrdom. At present, some academic studies believe that "Huashanji" is the predecessor of the story of "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai".
