Chapter Twenty-Five: After the hard winter, Jing Hui was punished to kneel in the snow

It had not snowed so much in Wei for many years, and the goose feather snow had been drifting for a whole day. The largest furnace was lit in Qifeng Palace, but it couldn't withstand the cold outside the door. When I said hello in the morning, the wind was blowing and poured straight into the hall, and the concubines tightened their hearts, but they still felt the cold.

"On this day this year, I'm afraid I'm going to freeze to death."

"Phew! Ruixue is a mega year, and our Dawei will definitely be able to adjust the wind and rain next year. ”

Youzhi and the palace maids stood under the corridor and chatted, and from time to time they changed hot tea to the masters in the hall. It's just that those female officials are suffering, and they just stand outside the hall, enduring the wind and snow. After standing like this for a while, you have to quickly soak your feet in a basin of hot water when you go back, otherwise you will have frostbite on your feet.

"Nushi, look at my hand, I can't look at it these days."

The little palace maid stretched out her hand covered with chilblains to Youzhi to complain in front of her eyes. Youzhi first sighed, covered her hand and rubbed it, and said sympathetically, "It's really hard for us Fluttershy." However, she made these little girls feel that they were lucky to be on an errand in Qifeng Palace, so she said: "Don't forget that the palace maids of the Huanyi Bureau still have to wash their clothes in this ice and snow, and those hands are afraid that they can't look at it." ”

The little palace maid sighed and said, "That's right, they are far worse than us. Qifeng Palace is the warmest place in the palace. ”

"Female History!"

When he said this, he didn't hear anyone calling him, and it wasn't until the voice called for the third time that Youzhi turned around. Letting go of Fluttershy's hand, Yuzhi puts away her smiling face and asks her, "Why are you here?" ”

I was afraid that other palace maids would talk too much, so I pulled her to go elsewhere.

In winter, the eastern ladies have long changed into thick cotton jackets and winter clothes, but this palace maid is still wearing autumn palace clothes. Youzhi pulled her hand like she was holding an ice strip.

"Please, tell the mother, change the palace for the slave!"

Qing Huan knelt down as he spoke, his body trembling in the cold wind. Youzhi also felt pitiful when she looked at her, after all, after Zhu Zhiyi's death, she guarded the Yunyi Hall alone. The palace maid who has no master is like being forgotten, and her income is extremely low. Winter clothes were not distributed on time, let alone charcoal. The guys who are low-minded in the Salary Division will not send charcoal to a palace maid.

I was able to endure it a few days ago, but it has been getting colder and colder these days, and Qinghuan really can't freeze. Early this morning, she only felt that she was about to die of cold in this Yunyu Palace, and she had to come to beg the queen mother to change her errand no matter what.

"You've been in the palace for many years, so why don't you have a sense of proportion. First, how many pounds and taels do I have? Can you say a word to sway the queen? Second, you are a little palace maid, and the queen mother will personally ask you about your errands? ”

A few words choked Qing Huan, she originally just wanted to beg Youzhi to help her say a word, so that she could survive this winter. But how did she know that Zhi hit her like this, anyway, the barefoot ones are not afraid to wear shoes, and they fight left and right to break the net.

"Female history, the cat in Yunyu Palace, I have been hiding it for you all these years, we are grasshoppers on a rope. If I die, I won't be able to heal you! ”

Suicide, but since Qinghuan has already understood this, it is not good to be hard again. Youzhi pretended to be misunderstood and told Qing Huan: "What are you talking about?" I couldn't understand a word, I just wanted to change my errand. Even if you want to ask your mother, don't you have to wait until the morning greeting is over? ”

Seeing that her Qinghuan expression eased slightly, Youzhi looked at her and didn't know when she would freeze to death in this Qifeng Palace, it was not unlucky. So, hurriedly drove her back: "You go back first, I asked the mother here, and I will naturally take care of you." ”

Back in the main hall, the morning greeting has ended. The queen seemed to have looked for Youzhi, and when she came in, she asked, "Where have you been?" ”

Mrs. Tun was also there, and it seemed that she was discussing with the queen. It's just everyone's business, and I'm not afraid that Mrs. Dun will have any ideas, so I told the queen what Qinghuan had done.

Zhonggong's face was gloomy, Mrs. Dun meant, anyway, she would die of cold death in Yunyu Palace, so she simply left her to fend for herself, so as not to dirty her hands.

"No, she's ready to die. Isn't it a joke that a queen and a lady are folded in the hands of a little palace maid? Besides, the Kaichun Emperor is going to choose a concubine again, and I don't know who will live in the Yunyu Palace? There's still some use in keeping her. ”

Jing Hui's words were not unreasonable, and Mrs. Dun also bluntly said that she was reckless. At the moment, she can only follow Qinghuan's meaning first, anyway, she doesn't want much, it's just a temporary change of errand and a stable winter.

"It's better to let her go to her sister first, so that she can keep an eye on her and follow her wishes. A new person will come next year, and then send her back to serve, what do you think? ”

Jing Hui thought about it in her heart, but it was not bad, and nodded in acquiescence.

Before he could say a word, he heard the noise outside the door, and sent someone to ask, saying that the emperor was looking for a baby in the palace and was searching them one by one!

Isn't that a joke? The baby in the palace is a taboo that is not easy to say, and now the emperor is searching with such fanfare, is it to make the world see a joke? As the queen, naturally she couldn't sit idly by, let Mrs. Dun go back to the palace first, and Jing Wei changed her clothes and went to Zichen Palace.

In all fairness, Jing Hui also has some sympathy for Liu Wan, if she wasn't Liu Yan's clansman, I'm afraid she wouldn't have such a bumpy fate.

"It's unspeakably expensive, it's as cheap as mustard!"

This is Da Bu's summary of Liu Wan's life, but when Jing Hui continued to ask how rich and lowly he was, Da Bu touched his left eye, but: "The secret of heaven must not be revealed." ”

As a result, Jing Wei could only comprehend the meaning of these two words according to her own conjecture. It is unspeakably expensive, Liu Yangui was the queen when the first emperor was there, and the entire Liu family is the most noble surname in the world except for the royal family. Cheap as grass mustard, Liu Wan was enslaved in the palace at the age of ten, and she is still just an embroidery girl in the embroidery room, which is enough to see her humility.

That's probably it, Jing Hui sat on the step, thinking of these for no reason. But I remembered the celestial phenomena not long after Fei Yi was born. I thought that Emperor Wei would be jealous, but unexpectedly, he was very happy for the birth of this child, and he didn't care about Dabu's words at all like when Zhilan was born.

Why don't you mention this again today, isn't it a disaster to make the harem mess up for such a baby?

In Zichen Palace, Ji Hongduo's face was full of tiredness, he had just finished the quarrel with Liu Wan, and he no longer had the strength to talk to others. But the queen came at this time, and she didn't have to think about it, she would definitely dissuade him.

"No, let her wait outside!"

He threw the teacup in his hand at the eunuch who passed it on, and the little eunuch hurriedly retreated. The sound of the porcelain cup shattering, Jing Wei heard it clearly outside the hall, and the angry voice of Emperor Wei was no less than this voice.

I can't help but wonder if Emperor Wei wants to see himself, the queen of a country, isn't it his responsibility to persuade the emperor? Jing Wei stopped the little eunuch who was about to open his mouth to stop him, and raised his feet into the hall.

Ji Hongduo didn't raise his eyes, so he scolded: "Get out!" ”

"It's a concubine." Jing Wei bowed, thinking that Emperor Wei would ease his attitude because of her arrival, but her rash actions aroused Ji Hongduo's disgust.

"Whoever you are, get out!"

"Your Majesty, the concubines heard about the whole story, but they just think that such a search of the palace will make people laugh, why don't we think about it in the long run?"

Joke? Do people in the world laugh at him less? From the time he ascended to this throne, all kinds of voices were heard endlessly. Too often, he pretends to be deaf and ignores the voices.

"Why do you have to remind you? I'll tell you again, get out of here. ”

"Your Majesty, the five stars were in line that night, and Da Bu once said that the main woman was in trouble, and the emperor also saw with his own eyes who the celestial phenomena were referring to. Today, with such a big fight, who knows if it is the beginning of a disaster? ”

Euphemistic persuasion was to no avail, so Jing Hui brought up the celestial phenomena that he was thinking about again, but he didn't want Emperor Wei's eyes to close slightly, as if he was afraid of being heard, so he lowered his voice and asked:

"The queen really has a lot of research on the way of celestial phenomena, the former eldest princess is a disaster, and today's Liu Wan's mother and daughter are also a disaster. But after all, is it your woe or my woe? ”

Jing Wei couldn't help but be shocked, did he know everything back then? No, it won't! Everything is so ingenious, if everything really comes out of Dabu's mouth, he has no reason to doubt it. It must be that she is too careful, and after some complicated psychological struggles, Jing Wei only thinks that she can't understand Emperor Wei's words at all.

"The calamity of the concubine is small, but the calamity of the world is big."

"The world? You all like to use this word to crush me, and it is as if I was born for this world. ”

He was tired of it, and it was as if he were wearing an invisible shackle that anyone could put on it. As long as the word "world" is added, it is enough for Ji Hongduo to bear the weight of life willingly.

After saying so much, seeing that Ji Hongduo was unmoved, Jing Hui could only kneel on the ground with her skirt and beg him not to search the palace on a large scale. Ji Hongduo smiled bitterly, it won't be long before the entire palace will know how the queen persuaded the emperor bitterly. Everyone will think that the queen is virtuous, but what about the emperor? stubborn, he did not hesitate to search the whole palace for an illegitimate daughter.

It's so good, these women are getting better and better.

"The queen likes to kneel, so go outside and kneel in the snow, I don't want to see you."

"Your Majesty!"

originally thought that Emperor Wei still cared about the relationship between husband and wife, and couldn't bear to let the queen kneel for a long time, but he was so ruthless that he wanted Jing Wei to kneel in the snow.

"Get out!"
