Chapter 245: People's Heart (2) [Second Update]
The scorching sun fell into the clouds, slowly falling into the sky, and in the midst of the steaming clouds, the heavy palaces of Da'an Palace were also plated with thin golden light.
The Weiyun Hall of Zhuluan Baoque is at least one zhang higher than the other palaces in the palace, and is guarded by countless cornices around it, showing that it once had the highest status and honor. This is where the favorite woman of the first emperor and the biological mother of the prince Su Guifei lived.
Now, however, the dilapidated palace walls and broken dead branches have erased its past, and the dusty stone lotus hanging from the eaves and the peeling vermilion paint on the window lattices all show the silence here. dilapidated, incompatible with this extravagant and exquisite Da'an Palace.
It stands to reason that with the noble status of King Du, the former residence of his mother should not be abandoned here. But when the first emperor was funeral, the queen mother had been seriously ill, and the momentum of Si Tiantai was too heavy, overpowering the Shoukun Palace where the queen mother lived, so he begged to abandon this palace, and let the abandoned concubine live here to suppress the luck of this palace.
At that time, the new emperor ascended the throne, and the power of the queen mother for many years was at its peak, and everyone naturally echoed it. The prince is still young, and he is 'carefully cared for' by the Queen Mother everywhere, so he has no position to say a word. Therefore, the Weiyun Hall has changed from the extreme prosperity of the past to the extreme decline at this time.
Song Yuheng shrunk his shoulders and leaned in front of the door of the inner hall, looking at the empty and desolate courtyard around, stroked his arm, snorted coldly, and said, "No matter what kind of good weather, it can't dispel the cold in the cold palace. ”
Hanzhang took a tattered broom and laboriously cleaned the thick dust in the yard, and the exposed green bricks accumulated mottled marks left by the moss when it dried up, and on top of it, new moss sprouts. She listened to Song Yuheng sneering and laughing at herself, and wanted to open her mouth to say a few words of comfort, but she didn't know where her hope was and what to say.
The door of the palace creaked, and the waiter who delivered the food didn't seem to be willing to step into this gray place that no one had taken care of for a long time, for fear that he would be unlucky in his life, so he slammed the food box on the ground and said, "Remember to wash it after eating!" Next time we come to deliver food, we will come and pick it up! He didn't look at the two masters and servants inside, turned around and left.
"Dogs fighting people!" He shook his hand angrily and threw the broom on the ground, and scolded loudly.
The chamberlain had just closed the door when he heard this and kicked it open again. This time, I was not afraid of bad luck, so I strode in and kicked over the food box, swishing vegetables and swishing rice on the ground. He stared at Hanzhang viciously, slapped her in the face, and said in a sharp voice: "People are cheaper than anyone else, but your temper is not small, and you are still the master and the mother, and you have a big face to support that?!" Tell you, when you enter here, you will only die of old age! Don't expect to get out of this door in this life! If you are thin-skinned, hang yourself with a rope, so as not to trouble our family to serve you! ”
Hanzhang was beaten and fell on the food, stained with filth, and her hand hurt on the vermilion lacquer food box, she struggled to get up from the ground and said, "You! Don't deceive people too much! Anyway, our master is the niece of the Queen Mother! Carefully, her old man knows that you have snubbed our master and stripped your skin! ”
The waiter sneered, looked at Song Yuheng, who was pale, and said disdainfully: "What about the niece?" The Queen Mother doesn't have only one niece! Besides, can a niece compare to a dragon heir? The Queen Mother felt sorry for her grandson before it was too late, where was the time to pity the murderer. I'm afraid you don't know yet, the Queen Mother suggested that the emperor should set up Concubine Rou Niangniang, and this matter is already on the agenda! ”
"Immediately?!" Song Yuheng's eyes narrowed, and the waiter who was stabbed like a sharp arrow with a cold light trembled, and he said dissatisfiedly: "What's the matter, what does it have to do with you at this time?" Hey, what a future queen! Phew! ”
Song Yuheng's body suddenly tensed, and he walked in front of the waiter in a few steps, grabbed his collar, and said, "Say it again!" ”
The waiter's body stiffened, but he didn't dare to move, he only pulled his shirt out of the other party's hand with all his strength, and snorted coldly: "What if you say it again?" The emperor not only wants to establish the queen, but the queen mother also has to expand the harem for the emperor...... One by one, the newcomers stand in front of you, who can remember you?! You'd better die of this heart! ”
"The Queen Mother wants Song Yaoxian to be the queen...... Song Yuheng stood in the courtyard in a daze and muttered. Hanzhang looked at the mess in the yard, couldn't help but shed tears, endured the pain caused by the fall on his body, and cleaned up the food on the ground: "It's all because the slave is not good...... I don't even have to eat the swishing food now......"
Song Yuheng raised her gaze silently, looked outside over the high wall, but could only see a dark sky, she said: "I am only a teenager, and I am the eldest daughter of the Song family, and I am the future queen cultivated by the Queen Mother herself!" But why stay in the cold palace?! Let Song Yaoxian steal my position for nothing? ”
Hanzhang kept his hand and said in his mouth: "Niangniang...... We don't see the light of day in this kind of place, even if the Queen Mother doesn't care, Madame will feel sorry for you, right? Will there be any way to ......"
Song Yuheng said: "The Queen Mother doesn't care about me anymore, what can my mother do, if you want to get out of here, I have to figure it out by myself!" ”
Hanzhang's eyes lit up: "Niangniang? Do you have a way to get out of here? "Who would want to take it in such a place if they could!
"If you want the emperor's eyes to fall on me, it's not impossible to ......" After the conflict with Song Yaoxian, Song Yuheng understood the emperor's thoughts. He likes to show weakness to her! The more obedient and weak she is, the happier the emperor is! She couldn't help but wonder if one day the Queen Mother was not tough and interfered with everything the emperor's decision-making, would the estrangement between their mother and son also disappear! "It's really stupid to think that I will emulate the Queen Mother in every move!"
"What do you mean?" Hanzhang was a little puzzled, I didn't understand why she said this, didn't she take the Queen Mother as an example since she was a child, and follow her example everywhere?
"Song Yaoxian, Song Yaoxian, no wonder the emperor will pamper you, it turns out that it is just for me and the Queen Mother! Since you want a queen who is obedient, of course I, Song Yuheng, can 'pretend' it! You can dream of being your queen, and then wait for me to crush it with my own hands! She sneered sarcastically and said, "If you want the emperor to forgive me, it's actually very simple. However, I have to ask the emperor to come up and see me. ”
The expression on Song Yuheng's face was almost hideous, and Hanzhang was shocked when he saw it. She said carefully: "But, why did the emperor come here?" ”
Song Yuheng said: "I have my own way. ”
……
Ji Erlan got out of the carriage in front of the mansion and glanced at Ji Chenglin's outer study. If she went to Ji Chenglin first, the Qin family's plan would not be successful. But she still dispelled this thought, she wanted to hear with her own ears how the Qin family opened his mouth to cut off relations with her.
Twilight looked at her and whispered, "Why should the girl embarrass herself for others." "A few of them have long known about Ji Erlan's going to Yasukuni, and they have also thought about who will follow the girl and who will stay to take care of the Qin family and others, but what the Qin family did later made these girls cold, and they didn't want to stay. Now that the Qin family is cold to the end, it is also worry-free, and it is smoother for the girl to go without worries than to go without worry.
Ji Erlan stood silent for a while, and saw Su Yu's figure enter the outer study, presumably to say goodbye to Ji Chenglin. She said: "Tomorrow, the Su family brothers and sisters will leave, and in the late spring, prepare more things and coils to be used on the road and send them over, so I won't come forward." ”
Twilight knew that she didn't like the atmosphere of separation, so she said, "Yes, the slave knows." ”
The empty mountain is a small building, the Qin family has been sitting for two hours, seeing that the sky is dark, but she still has no intention of leaving, and she looks determined to wait for the end. When Ji Erlan entered the courtyard, he noticed that the atmosphere was not right, and knew that the Qin clan must not have left, and his heart became even colder, and the other party had made up his mind.
"Girl, you're back." Twilight hurriedly came to say hello and whispered, "Madame is here." ”
Ji Erlan nodded to indicate that he already knew, and raised his feet and entered the room. As soon as Qin saw her come in, his nerves tensed subconsciously, and he stood up and wanted to come over, but he paused. Twilight quickly got up from the pestle and went to change the tea. Ji Erlan said, "No need, you all go down first." ”
Seeing her like this, Qin Shi felt that he seemed to have been seen through in front of her, and he felt uncomfortable: "Where have you been." ”
Ji Erlan glanced at her, didn't answer, only said, "Mother, sit down and talk." ”
Qin heard her call her mother, not A-Niang, and her heart was empty for no reason. But when he thought of what Ji Tianjiao said, and when he thought of Ji Ronghe's safety, he couldn't take care of it. said: "A-Niang came here, I have something important to tell you." ”
Ji Erlan let out a faint 'um' and didn't answer.
Qin Shi was a little embarrassed and a little annoyed, she said: "Er Lan, you have grown up, you can be the master of many things, your father is also up to you, A-Niang can't intervene and can't control you, but...... What you think and do is related to the comfort of Brother Rong and even the entire Ji family, I can't ...... Can't turn a blind eye ......"
Ji Erlan listened to the ambiguity in her words, and said bluntly: "No one in my room will definitely spread our conversation. If the mother has anything to say, just say it clearly. ”
Even if the Qin family smoothed it out a few times, her mind was still chaotic, she sighed, and had no choice but to recount what Ji Tianjiao had said to her. The more Ji Erlan listened, the more surprised and funny she felt, but she also had to admire Yan Hong's calculation of people's hearts, and even made some inferences that it might really happen in the future.
For example, if King Du wants to expose the Queen Mother's previous evil deeds, she will definitely stand on King Du's side. However, the method she used with King Du was above board, not a rebellion, King Du had no intention of becoming an emperor, and she did not have the idea of becoming a queen. But these can't be explained to the Qin family.
Therefore, Yan Hong can be said to have no last resort, waiting for her to be forced out of the Ji Mansion and have nowhere to live.
Ji Erlan raised his head and looked directly at the Qin clan and said, "I understand what you said, then, what did my mother decide to do?" ”
