14. Opportunity for Transformation (Revision)
Zaiyang was fined for five days, and then returned to the study to study, but Huiyu no longer came to visit, and Zaiyang was not allowed to ask for peace. Although Zaiyang listened to his mother often reassure him not to hate his father, his heart calmed down a lot, but the dislike between them had not completely disappeared, so he didn't think about his father in his heart, but he was quiet. Zaiyang was originally deferential and gentle, but after this incident, although he was still polite, he subtly began to alienate others, and his temperament changed a lot for a while. Except for his biological mother Yun Jiang, he said less and less to others, and he also told his mother about the things in his heart. Yun Jiang was distressed and uncomfortable, but he was helpless.
Yun Jiang understood the emperor's intentions in his heart, but he hated Meng and the empress for designing to harm her son like this, not only letting her son suffer this humiliation, but even separating the relationship between father and son, and hurting the young son's heart. She is now in the Weiyang Palace, and her heart is gradually becoming clear, whether she is obedient or the first to strike, she gradually has a mind.
Cining Palace saw that the backyard of Mingcheng was lifeless for a while, so the Queen Mother mentioned the small draft to Huiyu again. Hui Yu also agreed, only from the founding heroes and from the official family above the four grades to find the appropriate age young Ai to fill the backyard. Huiyu is busy with government affairs, so the primary election is handled by the queen and the queen mother. Because there are not many people who have been selected, no matter how carefully selected, there are only a few dozen people left.
The first thing for concubines is to win the emperor's favor, so the final choice is to come to the Lintoe Palace to choose. Everyone in the harem is worried, but in the end, they can't change it. On the day of the election, Yun Jiang felt that the days were very long, or the days without Hui Yu to accompany him, every day was like a long time.
In order to prevent infection, Yun Jiang hung his head under the corridor with a green lotus-colored veil, leaning on the top of the beauty, looking at the sky above. The sun spread proudly like gold dust, and the roses on the shelves bloomed in full swing, as if it was still a spring scene in April. The roses are charming and moving, but I don't know who smells the old and the new.
Yun Jiang suddenly remembered that he was twenty-one years old this year and had been by Huiyu's side for nine years. The queen, the concubine, and Lin Chu still remember the appearance of their entry into the palace as if it were yesterday. Unconsciously, the sun is getting westward, and Taki Er Lianbu is close to say that the election is over, and the list will be presented tomorrow.
Yun Jiang bowed his head lightly, and asked with a faint smile: "How many days have we been in this Weiyang Palace?" Taki'er wrung her sleeves, pouted and said, "Back to Niangniang, it's been the twentieth day." Yun Jiang smiled and reached out to pinch Taki'er's little face: "Why, don't you like such a lonely day?" ”
Lu'er shook her head and hurriedly said: "As long as you accompany your mother, you will be happy no matter how Lu'er." It's just that the slave and maid feel sorry for the mother, and the mother is so depressed every day, and the slave and maid are worried. ”
Yun Jiang brushed the lacquered hair on Taki'er's sideburns, and pinned the broken hair behind her ear: "This palace is fine." It's just a widow, but I'm glad that it hasn't reached the usual miserable situation. Although this palace has gone through many things, it has not yet reached the transcendent state of mind of truly pampering and forgetting, not liking things and not being sad for oneself. ”
Taki'er smiled and showed a pure and dry smile: "The slave and maid that Niangniang said don't understand, but Niangniang can see it." Yun Jiang bowed his head slightly, and got up again to go inside to rest.
"Mother, stay! Niangniang, Aunt Yue Ning is here! Hearing the sound at first glance, I looked back and saw that the hairpin hurriedly lifted her skirt and ran towards Yun Jiang. Yun Jiang was slightly taken aback. That Yue Ning is the current queen mother's maid is the fifth internal secretary, and the queen mother can be described as a sister, and her status is extraordinary. Now that she has arrived in Weiyang Palace, she is also a little flattered by Yun Jiang.
Yun Jiangfang wanted to go to the gate of the palace to greet him, but he didn't know that Yue Ning had come closer. Yue Ning saw Yun Jiang and smiled gently: "The slave maid asks for peace to Concubine De, and Concubine De is blessed." ”
Yun Jiang hurriedly helped Yue Ning up, and said with a smile: "Why did Aunt Yue Ning come to Weiyang Palace?" ”
Yue Ning laughed and laughed at herself: "The slave maid is old and it is not good to do things, this yesterday accidentally smashed a beauty given to the Queen Mother by the Emperor Daxing, and the Queen Mother sent the slave to Weiyang Palace in a fit of anger." Yun Jiang didn't know the meaning of these words, Yun Jiang took Yue Ning's hand and said softly: "I'm tired of the Queen Mother..."
Yue Ning bowed slightly, and said in a low voice: "Niangniang, you can be regarded as a slave who grew up, and in the eyes of the Queen Mother, you are not like a daughter... Your mother, Lord Longyang, is also worried about you. ”
Yun Jiang couldn't help choking and hanging his head: "Mother, she... It's time to bother the Queen Mother again. ”
Yue Ning soothed: "Niangniang doesn't have to worry. The lord has been friends with the queen mother since he was a child, and the lord also helped the queen mother a lot. There is no such thing as labor. Besides, now that the Queen Mother is living for a long time, there are too many palace ladies who are waiting for her, and they are not quiet. ”
"But you are the queen mother's confidant, and this palace is really flattered." Yun Jiang smiled gently, and his heart gradually soothed.
Yue Ning said calmly: "Concubine De is reassuring, now the situation in the palace will change, and it is a good thing for Niangniang to hide now." Yun Jiang Zhengse said: "This palace also knows, but it is just waiting for the opportunity to come out." ”
Yue Ning smiled even deeper: "The opportunity is coming." ”……
