In the early morning of midsummer June, the branches and leaves of the trees in the imperial garden are still reluctant to rain and dew the night before, the lotus in the pond sleeps all night and is awakened by the morning breeze, Jiao Na stretches her waist, the round lotus leaves lean over to cover and caress these delicate flowers, and the little dragonfly who gets up early picks up a little water everywhere, so a wonderful summer morning scene.

The incense mist in the Lingxi incense burner lingered in the whole room, protecting the sleeping people in the plain white gauze tent from mosquitoes, and the palace people were already standing lightly beside the bed, and they could come forward to serve as soon as the master opened his eyes.

Zhao Hening had a dream and didn't want to wake up, there was her daughter in the dream, now she was two years old, she would run, she would scream, she would flutter butterflies in the garden, she followed behind and shouted and advised, let her slow down, her daughter looked back and smiled brighter than the spring flowers, and suddenly fell into the abyss under her feet. When she heard someone calling her, she was pulled into reality as soon as she turned around, and it was her palace people calling her.

"Madame has a nightmare again? At this time, the sky is already bright, you get up slowly, today is the day of the national filial piety, and the palace masters are going to the imperial tomb to worship, and you can't miss the time. ”

Zhao Hening's eyes were sluggish for a while, and he was still immersed in a dream and it was difficult to recover, his eyes closed tiredly, and the palace people looked at each other a few times, and they really didn't dare to quarrel with her anymore, fortunately, the master knew the severity, and he didn't sleep anymore, and he woke up after closing his eyes for a while, so that the palace people could serve her to wash up quickly, and she didn't have to dress up much, the more plain the better, and she didn't even have to put on makeup.

The palace people obeyed the order, and they were sighing in their hearts, how could the master do this? It is said that women should be pretty and filial, in addition to serving today, the palace concubines don't know how to fight for beauty, their masters are pure-hearted and have few desires, the master has entered the palace for so many years, they have witnessed the master from the pet crown of the six palaces to today's cold palace wood people, the child did not keep, the master gave all the blame to His Majesty, so that His Majesty annoyed her, no longer grace, although this Langya Pavilion was remote, but it was a transcendent existence in the palace, the palaces did not dare to slow down, now it is the real deserted, the master has been depressed for so long, Now that we are going to show filial piety, we should also rekindle our fighting spirit and fight for the holy favor, and only with the holy grace can we have children.

Zhao Hening sat and let the palace people take care of it, and then went to Kunyi Palace after taking care of it, today Kunyi Palace is not only full of guests and friends, not only the master in the palace wants to participate in the removal of clothes, but the courtiers ordered the relatives of the woman and the emperor to participate, she went to find a secluded corner to sit on, and no one cared about her, and walked with her when the time came.

The queen is responsible for counting the female dependents to arrange travel, the emperor led the princes and courtiers to travel, the two teams converged at the Xuande Gate, and went out of the city to the imperial tomb together, the imperial tomb has a ceremonial official and the palace people went to the point first, the team stopped at the gate of the imperial mausoleum, and saw the lord of Mu Hui who came to the door with the ceremonial officer, dressed in plain clothes to describe the cold, followed by her adopted daughter, the same is a cold and delicate little girl, the palace people lifted the curtain, the emperor bowed his face, thanked the lord of Muhui for his hard work in guarding the mausoleum, let her go to the queen's car to sit, and go in with everyone, Lord Mu Hui glanced at the dignified smile of the queen behind her, hesitated for a moment and nodded, and got into the car with her adopted daughter.

The queen's chariot was very large, and there were only her and a few palace people in it, Mu Hui's mother and daughter came in, and the palace people knew each other and retreated, the queen looked at this cold-faced sister-in-law, and expected the other party to speak first, she still had to come.

"Hard sister, in the past two years in the imperial tomb for the father and mother of the mausoleum, people have lost a lot of weight, and now filial piety is also removed, this will follow us back to the palace, Sister Ling is also following you at a young age to guard the imperial mausoleum, or should go back to the palace to study, find a good family for her in a few years, and take you to enjoy happiness in the future."

Mu Hui said: "Thank you for the care of the imperial sister-in-law, I was about to say this, I will not return to the palace, in addition to serving me and leaving Beijing, my daily things are here, and there is nothing to clean up when I return to the palace, only Sister Ling can't go with me, I hope the imperial sister-in-law will take care of her more, I have stored the things left to me by the queen mother in the county lord's mansion, she will marry in the future, the dowry does not have to come out of the palace, you open those things to give her a dowry, you don't have to leave me anything." ”

Sister Ling bowed her head and was silent, her fingers tugged at the sleeves of her clothes to make her nails white, her mother had already told her about these things, and asked her about her plans, if she wanted to go back to the palace to live, her mother would ask her uncle and aunt to take care of her more, let her live in the princess's house, until she got married, if she didn't want to live in the palace, she would live in the county lord's mansion, but there was no adult in the county lord's mansion, she was a little girl who lived for fear of being uneasy, so let her uncle send a team of guards to her to keep her safe in the county lord's mansion, if she didn't like both, go back to her original home, where there are her relatives, Mother will hand over the entire team of Shoukang Palace to her to take with her, and she will not be wronged when she returns home.

She whispered, "Can I follow you out of Beijing?" ”

Mother said no, "What's good about following me out of Beijing, wandering around without a fixed place, I have no family and no friends, I have no worries and go to the end of the world, your life has just begun, you will have to marry and have children in the future, stay in Beijing to find Ruyi Langjun." ”

Mother said that she has no family and no friends, and she has nothing to worry about in Beijing, isn't she her mother's family, her mother's concern? She came to her mother at the age of six, and now she has been with her for five years, and her mother still hasn't accepted her, thinking of this place, Sister Ling's nose is pantothenic and her eyes are hazy, her mother has no family, she has no family, why can't they rely on each other?

The queen picked up the handkerchief and wiped Sister Ling'er's tears, complaining about the sister-in-law's coldness, "Look at Sister Ling'er, she follows her wherever you go, she has lived with you for two years in the imperial tomb, you still have to leave her alone, how can she be happy living alone in the palace, you still take her back, that is, you want to leave Beijing and travel, so you can wait for the girl to become a family before leaving." ”

Lord Mu Hui shook her head slowly, her eyes were full of vicissitudes, that was the distance she admired, for the queen mother she was trapped in Beijing for many years, after the queen mother left, she no longer had to worry, Sister Ling is a concern, but it is not worth it when she sacrifices her freedom again, after so many things, let her understand that except for the few people who are close to her, no one is worth her sacrifice, and Sister Ling really can't follow her out of Beijing, follow her outside, what to do with Sister Ling'er's relatives, do you want to marry her to a passing passenger during the journey?

The lord of Muhui has made up her mind, how can Sister Ren Ling be wronged and pitiful, how the queen is kind and persuasive, she is unmoved, the queen has to agree, and promised to arrange Sister Ling'er's family affairs, and also ask her, the mother, to come back to send her daughter to marry when the time comes, after all, she is an uncle, and some things cannot be done for her. Lord Mu Hui didn't respond head-on, but only said that she would see it at that time, in fact, everyone understood that she might not come back after she left.
