Chapter 108: The end of the world is light and cold
(Girls' Literature)
Rulan, who was outside the door, saw me coming out. Hurriedly came up to me and helped me. I could clearly feel her breathe a sigh of relief. "But the slave and maid are going to die in a hurry. Fortunately, it came out so quickly. ”
Rulan thought that as long as I came out of the temple safely. And that is the end of it. But I don't know. It's early.
I looked back at a figure coming out of the hall. It is Qianqing beside the Queen Mother. Slowly came to the front. Rulan bent her legs and blessed her. Qianqing bowed slightly in response. Then he turned to me. "Girl. There it is. ”
Rulan looked at me suspiciously. I was puzzled.
I don't explain either. Facing the Shou'an Palace, directly lift the corner of the skirt and kneel. The ground is very cold in winter. The chill is chilling to the bone. It's just shivering.
Rulan exclaimed. "Sister. What's going on. ”
Qianqing Road on the side. The slave maid gave the girl time. Never let the girl suffer more than a moment. ”
I looked up and smiled. "Thank you, Auntie."
Hear that. Rulan immediately understood. Shook my hand tightly. He knelt down beside me. "The slave and maid accompany my sister."
A warm current welled up in my heart. Anytime. Rulan is the one who will be by my side.
Seeing this, Qianqing also said. "The two girls have a deep love affair. It is the blessing of the girl and the blessing of Rulan. ”
I chuckled. No more speech.
Time flies extraordinarily long. Even if it's noon in winter. But there is still no trace of heat. Gently chill a sun. It's cold. A gust of wind swept through. It only froze people from the inside out.
Bursts of soreness began to grow in my knees. Almost unconscious. It's just gritting his teeth.
Suddenly, someone pulled his arm up with a strong tug. I looked back. Jun Mochen's face was close in front of him. Thinking that it should have just come down, he hurried over. A bright yellow court robe has not been changed yet. He looked anxious.
Look at the palace gate. Sure enough. Qi Fu led a group of little eunuchs to stand at the gate of the palace. Look at it from afar. It's hard to hide your anxiety. Thinking that it should have just come to the next court, I hurried here.
I wondered in my heart. Wasn't he entangled by King Ning Che? Why did you come so early?
At this moment, his face was gloomy and his tone was displeased. "Get up."
I shook my head slightly. "The Queen Mother did not punish me severely. You don't have to. ”
Jun Mochen said in a deep voice. "What is a heavy penalty? Is it necessary to give wine and white silk to be considered a heavy punishment? ”
Qianqing, who was kneeling beside her, was stunned. Hurriedly knocked to Jun Mochen. "The emperor really thought about it this time. The Queen Mother didn't think about embarrassing the girl. ”
"I didn't think about it." Jun Mochen asked rhetorically. Pointing to me on the ground. "What is this?"
Chiharu paused. I don't know how to reply.
At this time. The curtain in the main hall rang suddenly. Entering the painting, he walked out of it and saluted Jun Mochen first. Laughed. "Why didn't the emperor go in when he came. The snow and ice are carefully frozen. The former mother is still talking about you. That's where it happened. ”
Jun Mochen neatly robes. Said coldly. "I miss my mother very much." That's it. Raise your legs and walk towards the main hall. Look, that look doesn't look like he misses it, but Xingshi asks for sin.
Although their mother-son relationship is not good. But the Queen Mother is still his titular mother. If so, it will make a fuss. I'm just afraid it's not good.
Almost subconsciously. He stretched out his hand and grabbed the corner of his robe. He looked back. I don't know what to say. I can only stiffen my body without embarrassment.
Jun Mochen leaned down. Gently patted my fingers at the corners of his robe. Whispered. "Don't worry."
Somehow. Maybe it's his words. Maybe it was to see the look of peace in his eyes. I was inexplicably relieved.
Jun Mo Chenfu entered the hall as soon as he entered. Qianqing stepped forward to hold me. "The girl is tired. Hurry up. ”
I wondered. "Auntie, what are you doing. It's not yet an hour. ”
Qianqing sighed lightly. "The girl has been kneeling for an hour. Now the emperor is here. Enough to think about. ”
I blushed slightly. Gently push away Chiharu's hand. "Auntie is considerate. I can't thank you enough. It's just the Holy Order of the Queen Mother. The slave did not dare to disobey. ”
Qianqing nodded slightly. "The girl is sensible."
Her voice didn't fall for a moment. Then he heard the sound of entering the painting at the entrance of the temple. "Don't let the girl kneel on this cold day. Go into the temple and warm up. ”
Qianqing hurriedly came over to help me. "The Queen Mother made a decree. The girl can rest assured now. Hurry up. ”
Qianqing and Rulan helped me up. Numbness and pain throughout the leg. As if it weren't their own. Unable to stand upright for a long time. He rested for a while before going to the temple.
The curtain was opened early in the painting. I was a little surprised. But he still bowed his head politely to her. "Aunt Labor."
Into the painting and Qianqing are both face-saving people around the Queen Mother. Even the queen should be polite. Now I don't have a name. It's always okay to be polite.
Go into the temple. I was stunned. There is no tension as imagined. On the contrary, it has the meaning of mother's love and filial piety. Jun Mochen and the Queen Mother sat on the top and chatted about some family life. The queen just
Stand aside and take the snacks from the maid's hand and place them on the small table in the middle one by one.
It's like a happy family. I knelt down and thanked him. Before he could speak, he heard the Queen Mother say. "Excuse me. Bestow the seat. ”
I was a little overwhelmed. What is this? I just had to kneel. Why is this going to be a seat again?
Just cautiously. "In front of my lords. Slaves and maids do not dare to make mistakes. ”
Jun Mochen raised his eyes. Regardless of the road. "The Queen Mother told you to sit down, and you sat down. Is it something you can afford to disobey the will? ”
I was stunned by what he said. Neither sitting nor standing for a while. Seeing this, the Queen Mother smiled. "You kid. The mourning family and the emperor can't say that they can't move you. ”
I hurriedly said, "Don't dare." Then he sat sideways on the pestle beside him. But he didn't dare to sit down. Only a shallow collapse of the edge.
See me sit down. Jun Mochen turned his head again and said to the Queen Mother. "Seeing that it is close to the moon. The end of the year is approaching. The queen mother should pay attention to her body. Fang is a blessing for his son. ”
The Queen Mother pointed to Qianqing on the side and smiled. "The day of mourning is to chant the scriptures and tease the birds. These individuals are not allowed to do this or that everywhere. I just don't pay attention to it. ”
The queen on the side also smiled. "What else is the queen do? Just live a long life. Let the concubines and the emperor honor you well. It is the blessing of the concubine. ”
Only then did Jun Mochen move his gaze to Shen Xiaowei. "The queen has to work for the harem. I also want to do my filial piety for my mother and my mother. Great work. ”
Shen smiled slightly. "The emperor is serious. This is all within the concubine's share. Besides, the concubines have recently served the queen mother and worshiped the Buddha. Learned a lot. What about hard work. ”
The Queen Mother put her hand on the back of the queen's hand. He took Jun Mochen's hands and folded them together. If there is no one around, he will speak earnestly. "The emperor and queen are of the same heart. Only in the world can there be stability. ”
Look at the clasped hands. I just feel glaring. I hung my head slightly.
Half a day. But I heard the Queen Mother say. "It's going to be a year. The queen is busy with the affairs of the harem. It's okay for you to leave or right. Come to Shou'an Palace to copy Buddhist scriptures for the mourning family. ”
I realized that it was actually said to me. Hurriedly knelt down and said. "The slave obeys."
The Queen Mother nodded with satisfaction. Jun Mochen's lips opened and closed. Bite one's tongue. But in the end, he didn't say a word.
The Queen Mother said a lot to the emperor and queen. From the emperor's holy bow to the harem peaceful. The concubines are safe. even said to Jun Mochen. The royal branch is the most important. The emperor should work harder.
There is no shying away from saying such things in front of me. It's like I wasn't in the room.
I was getting more and more embarrassed. After finding an excuse, he hurriedly retired.
As soon as I got out of Shou'an Palace, I found that the sky was gray. The cold wind that came in front of him was a murderous aura. I couldn't help but frown. This year's snow is still falling. People who are annoyed for no reason have a headache.
Rulan slowly hugged me. Walk back along the palace wall. The wind was tight. The hand stove was already cold when he came. There was a dull pain in the knee when I walked.
When she saw me stop, Rulan knew what was wrong. Squat down and rub my knees. Said aggrievedly. "My sister has been kneeling for so long. My leg must be hurting. ”
I don't want her to worry. He chuckled. "It's fine. It's good to take about a day off. ”
Hearing this, Rulan silently rubbed her knees for me. Until I'm going to send a message back. She said suddenly. "Sister. Is the Queen Mother embarrassed you again? ”
Rulan has been stopped outside the temple today. Therefore the situation in the temple is not known. Hear this. I hurriedly covered her mouth and looked around. The long alley between the two rows of red walls was only the cold wind howling through it. In the distance, several palace people walked with neat steps and lowered their heads.
My heart almost jumped out of my chest. lowered his voice. "You can say whatever you want. If someone else hears it. Criticize the master. That is the capital crime of the Nine Clans. ”
Rulan almost burst into tears of grievance. Choked up. "My sister used to be the master of Kyoto. He used to look at people's faces like this. ”
I was so anxious that I fell to my back. How can such a thing be said. No matter how it is the master, it is also a thing of the past. If it is turned out at this time, it is turned upside down. It's not us who suffer. But looking at Rulan's eyes, she was crying. But there is no point of blame. I'm afraid she'll say something again. Be listened to by others. I had to grit my teeth and say. "Go back to the palace first."
Nevertheless. But in my heart, I didn't feel any anger. There is just a deep sense of powerlessness. In vain, Rulan called me sister. But day by day she was afraid of me. Rulan has a sentence that is true. I used to be the master of Kyoto.
In the past, even though he was not favored by his father. But I never have to look at people's faces. It can still protect Rulan and Mama safe. But now it is the mud bodhisattva who crosses the river and it is difficult to protect himself.
Suddenly, a thought flashed through my mind. What if this world really changes to me?
But I was taken aback by my own thoughts. See the palace gate from afar. The three big characters of Lingxi Palace slammed into his eyes. Thinking of Jun Mochen's trust and maintenance everywhere. A sour feeling suddenly arose in my heart. Until this time. I suddenly realized... The distance between us.
