Chapter 80: The Concubine admonishes
In the half moon of the apse of the Tailuan Palace, Ah Rong closed the door and did not come out, and every day after noon, Concubine Lu of Ming would be ordered to supervise Ah Rong to copy the "Pure Heart Sutra" again. A few days ago, Concubine Li was punished for copying, and now it's her, feng shui takes turns, Concubine Li has reached the day of punishment, but she is waiting for sin.
Mama Lu said without waves: "After the girl finished copying, the old slave went back to resume her life, but today the concubine ordered the old slave to take you to Jinghe Palace, and you have to bother the girl and the old slave to take a trip."
Miao Lan said nervously: "Mama, the king has told me that the girl can't leave the apse."
Mama Lu said: "The old slave is also acting on orders, and the concubine just has something to say to the girl, so the girl doesn't have to worry."
"Sister Ah Rong......" Miaolan asked Ah Rong, Ah Rong knew that Concubine Ming was a sensible person, and smiled: "It's okay, Miaolan, you go with me, let Lingcui go and talk to the king."
The decoration of Jinghe Hall is simple and serene, and the Ming Taifei is wearing a plain robe and chanting in front of a Buddha statue. The bright curtain is hung in front of the Buddha, and the incense is constantly burning on the desk. Seeing that Ah Rong had arrived, Concubine Ming turned around with the Ming Yellow Buddha bead in her hand: "Since you're here, sit down."
Concubine Ming sat on the high seat, dignified and dignified, but it was more of a model of the middle palace than the tortoiseshell jade who had always held herself in the middle palace, the concubine dismissed everyone, even Mama Lu and Miaolan also avoided it, in Ah Rong's confused gaze, she told the story.
"When the right minister was the elder brother of the mourning family, at that time the Zuoqiu family was in the middle of the road, and the mourning family had no choice but to enter the palace to marry the first king, and he was only a teenager at that time. originally wanted to live in peace, but after this life, it backfired, first the queen was jealous, the mourning family had been victimized by her, after giving birth to Chang Ning, the mourning family was injured by a cup of poison by Xiangyi, and could no longer give birth. The first king was like a mirror in his heart, but he just didn't uphold justice for the mourning family, do you know why? ”
Concubine Ming looked at Ah Rong quietly, Ah Rong's heart was down, and the harem and the court were involved......
Concubine Ming didn't wait for Ah Rong to answer, and continued: "As a king, the middle palace cannot be shaken, and the king cannot only favor a certain person, otherwise, it will not be good for the throne."
Concubine Ming looked straight at Ah Rong: "Later, the first king took pity on me and raised Xun'er to the mourning family for a few years, and the mourning family regarded him as his own child. Xun'er took pity on the lonely and widowed Mourning family, and after succeeding to the throne, he regarded the Mourning family as a relative to repay me, and the Mourning family also had to think about him. The position of the tortoiseshell jade middle palace cannot be abolished, Xun'er's hegemony is stable, it doesn't matter how you used to be, but now that you are pregnant, this child is important to Xun'er. You also know who you are now, just like the mourning family could only give up some things in order to save their lives, and what you have to give up is your belly and your child. ”
Concubine Ming finally said the cruel words that Ah Rong never wanted to hear: "Your child can only belong to the Zhong royal family, if you want to live well in the palace of Southern Chu, when you give birth to him, you will pass it on to the queen."
These words, the dense snow that has been rolling in winter this year, the cold and cold hearts of people, are entangled in the body and mind, and it is difficult to dissolve for a long time.
When Ah Rong left Jinghe Palace, he saw a faint daylight in the sky.
Concubine Ming should be the most transparent of the harem women, Concubine Ming was silent when Zhong Li Xun favored her, but now she stood up at the most critical moment.
The child in the womb is important to Zhong Lixun, what Concubine Ming said points out everything, Zhong Lixun's change in attitude towards her, those delicate and gentle, are just because of the child in her belly.
In the evening, Zhong Lixun's familiar calm and steady son sounded outside the Tailuan Palace, and Miao Lan happily welcomed him in.
Ah Rong stood by the window and was distracted, Zhong Lixun saw that the food on the table had not moved, frowned and asked, "Why don't you eat?"
The steady footsteps slowly approached, but it hit the tip of his heart, but it made Ah Rong's heart flood with a layer of bitter water, during this time, the man in front of him seemed to be treated warmly, all for another purpose!
"I can't eat it." Ah Rong's heart was cold, and the words she said were faintly cold, she still didn't move, she sat there quietly, and didn't even look at Zhong Lixun.
Concubine Ming's words during the day were swirling in her mind again, she almost forgot that she was once just a stand-in for the queen, she almost forgot that he was deep and terrible, he had dormant ambitions, how could she forget her original intention and be confused by his appearance?
Zhong Lixun's eyebrows furrowed even deeper, Ah Rong didn't even look up at him, he looked extremely indifferent, he twitched lightly in his heart, clamped her slender wrist and sat down at the table and ordered: "You are pregnant, you must eat something."
But after a day of not seeing him, Ah Rong seems to have changed as a different person.
"But the food is not to your liking?" Seeing that Ah Rong was still expressionless, Zhong Lixun didn't know what Ah Rong was thinking, and now he wanted Ah Rong to eat something, called Miaolan in, and asked, "Why don't you tell Gu if the girl doesn't need to eat?" Withdrawn! Let the dining room be re-made and the girl's favorite food will be delivered. ”
"Don't blame Miaolan and the people in the dining room, it's the slave who doesn't want to eat." Stopping Miaolan, who was full of worry, Ah Rong turned his face sideways and said lightly, "The king doesn't have to pretend here, for the sake of the noble son of the belly, the slaves and maids will eat after the king leaves." ”
"Do you know what you're talking about?" Zhong Lixun had anger in her eyes, what kind of character was she doing?
Ah Rong said in disgust: "Ah Rong sees that the king can't eat here."
"Okay, okay." Zhong Lixun had an impending storm in his eyes, and Miao Lan looked frightened.
"Hmph, do you think Lone is willing to see you, a sinner? There is no interest in the slightest, and Lone does not want to see you again. Ah Rong's resistance frustrated Zhong Lixun's prestige, she was pregnant with his child and wanted to be nice to her, but it seems that he was wrong!
"Your Majesty, Sister Ah Rong is talking nonsense, don't you leave......" Miao Lan begged Zhong Lixun for mercy, he just looked back coldly at Ah Rong, who was also cold, "Give me a good look at her, if something happens to her, only you ask." ”
Miao Lan hurriedly said: "The slave knows!" ”
At night, Zhong Lixun left angrily, Ah Rong quarreled with him, his back disappeared at the end of the Zhu Wall, Ah Rong closed his eyes suddenly, deflated, but his heart hurt even more.
Miaolan raised her head and looked at the stunned Sister Ah Rong worriedly, today my sister has been sullen since she came out of Concubine Ming's Jinghe Palace, between my sister and the king, it is not easy to ease up a little, and each other recognizes each other's feelings, why is this so painful?
Holding the warm Ejiao porridge that the palace people had just sent in, Miaolan walked to Ah Rong's side and persuaded in a low voice: "Sister Ah Rong, drink some porridge, you haven't eaten for most of the day, Miaolan is really worried." ”
"Miaolan, do you think my child shouldn't come to this world?" Ah Rong suddenly raised his head at this time and said, there was a sudden look of despair in his eyes.
Miao Lan was frightened by the look of despair in Ah Rong's eyes, and hurriedly said, "Sister Ah Rong, no! Miaolan heard my aunt say that all children in this world are the purest and most lovely! ”
Ah Rong was speechless, and his heart was miserable, is this really the case? If Concubine Ming takes away her child and hands it over to the queen, the child will be sad for the rest of her life, so her child might as well not come to this world......
