Chapter 117: I want to be relieved and frightened
A night of torrential rain washed the Forbidden City fresh and clean. It seems that the dirt in the bottom of people's hearts has also dripped down the corners of the eaves along with the dust on the gold tiles, and flowed away far away.
In the early morning, when the red sun rises like the old, and the water vapor on the ground is steamed with a warm light, the dust disappears. It's like it's gone for no reason.
Even so, no one cares about anything. With a thin face, just like the women in the Forbidden City, no one is more pitiful than anyone else, but they can only trample on each other's fighting spirits.
The concubine was suddenly sent down, and the news of being sent into the cold palace and waiting for the autumn beheading was like night rain, knocking on people's hearts. The uproar disturbed the hearts of many people who were not at peace. It is particularly important to come to Changchun Palace to say goodbye this morning. They all want to know the truth of the matter from the queen's mouth.
However, there was silence in the main hall, and before the queen came to the future, no one was willing to speak first to show their hearts.
had already guessed the hearts of these people, Lan Xin sat quietly in her bedroom with clear eyebrows, and was skillfully raised by Jinlan. After thinking about it for a while, she still felt that there were a few more people around her to serve her, and guessed Jinlan's thoughts, so she said, "Suo Lan, don't go back to the Huanyi Bureau." ”
"The Queen." Jinlan wanted to intercede, but she didn't know how to open her mouth to the queen. At this time, I heard that the queen also had this intention, and my heart was full of gratitude: "When the first emperor was still there, because Suo Lan's sister was straightforward, she once offended her father-in-law who was in charge, and was punished for doing some rough work in the Huanyi Bureau. For a long time, she has been despised and ridiculed, and she is lonely. Thanks to my mother's refusal to give up, both of my sisters can serve by our side, and the slave and maid are grateful. ”
Jinlan put down the comb in his hand, knelt at the queen's feet gratefully, kowtowed with tears, and thanked him again and again.
"Get up." Lan Xin sighed: "It's not a blessing to be by the side of this palace, and she has to be willing." In fact, if you talk about right and wrong, although the Huanyi Bureau is not absolutely clean, there is no such bloody wind in the end. It's just a matter of money and silver, who does more work and who does less, just look at the face of the aunt in charge.
But in the harem, you have to be exquisite, with your heart as your eyes, and if you don't pay attention to it, you may not even be able to save your life. Jinlan, you bring this to Suo Lan and let her measure it herself. Hongu will not embarrass her. ”
Jinlan nodded, got up and smiled: "Queen Xie." I also thought about the "good places" in the palace, but in fact, to put it bluntly, there is no difference after all. Even if you stay in the Huanyi Bureau and endure until you are old, you may not be able to leave the palace safely. Gong E's life is thin, even if it is a palace concubine, it is not much better, let alone a palace maid! In the end, it is better to compete for a while.
Maybe you can really go on with the wind and sightseeing. By this time, Jinlan's heart was not as clear as before, and she also had her own desires. "Niangniang, how about that Duolan?"
Lan Xin looked in the mirror, dipped her index finger slightly in Guan Baoge's rouge, and tapped it on the side of her cheek: "It's hard for her to sacrifice so much." What this palace values is her intelligence and courage, since she has the heart to help, let her be on her side. Punish Zang No, after all, she did what she should do. ”
"Mother." Xue Guining reported softly outside the door: "The mothers and little masters who came to ask for peace have gathered." ”
"Well, Hongu is coming." Lan Xin stood up with Jinlan's hand and smiled lightly: "I'm afraid that today, I'm going to see all the good colors again." Do you know what will happen to them? ”
Jin Lan shook his head, thought for a while, and said, "It must be that the concubines of the Shu Luo Yi used to be all kinds of things." "When the words came out, Jinlan was a little strange, the emperor had already sent the concubine into the cold palace, and ordered the queen of the autumn to ask beheading, why didn't he take away the title and demote it to a concubine?
"Not necessarily all of them will say no, and the really smart people will probably just keep their mouths shut." Lan Xin didn't say anything more, and was accompanied by a group of people, from the bedroom to the main hall. This road is very short, and when I inadvertently turn around, there are more than a dozen people behind me. Even many palace maids and chamberlains, Lan Xin couldn't name them. But she knows that this is the style of being a queen.
After saluting, Lan Xin motioned for the palace concubines to sit down together, and seeing that there were fewer people in the hall, she felt a little touched in her heart. After all, they are all old people who came from the house.
Sitting down, Lan Xinwu whispered to herself: "Pinch your fingers and count the days, Concubine Xian's grounding period should also be full." The concubine was sent to the cold palace to be beheaded after the autumn, and Chen Guiren lived in seclusion in the Qixiang Palace to recuperate. Xiu Guiren lost the dragon fetus, and his body has not yet recuperated. And there was a lot of emptiness in this temple at once. ”
Gao Lingxi tasted the queen's words, and her obsidian-like eyes flashed with smart brilliance: "Niangniang must be relieved, they are all sisters who came from the house, and they thought about it for a while." Now that it has ended up like this, it is both hateful and pitiful. The concubine lamented the shortness of time, like waking up from a dream, and nothing was no longer what it used to be. ”
Jin Peizi nodded, and sighed in her heart. It's only going to take a year to enter the palace, and everything has become strange. "Don't worry, the phoenix body is important, the concubine saw that your eyes were slightly red, guessing that you were disturbed by the sound of rain last night, you must not have slept, right?"
"The main palace is fine." Lan Xin smiled softly, looking around at the few palace concubines in the hall with wandering eyes, and only felt tired in his heart. "If the harem is not quiet, the emperor's heart will not be quiet, and in the days to come, the palace still hopes that you can share more worries for the emperor. Harmony is always paramount. ”
Su Wanrong, who was originally puzzled, could only listen to the queen's words quietly at this moment, and couldn't say a word for a long time. She doesn't care about the life or death of the concubine, but she just wants to know if the emperor will set foot in the harem less because of the concubine. To be honest, even a concubine like her, who has only given birth to the emperor's heir, can't see the emperor from time to time, let alone those who haven't come out yet.
They want to see the emperor, which is even more difficult than ascending to the sky. Her heart was filled with sorrow, and Su Wanrong's always gentle face was also coated with a layer of frost.
Lan Xin found out and couldn't help asking, "The pure concubine seems to have something on her mind." ”
"Not really." Su Wanrong sighed slightly, and said in a low voice: "The concubine is just thinking, the emperor is afraid that he will not come to the harem for a long time." ”
As soon as these words came out, the originally cold and silent temple was silent for a while. Everyone's hearts have been swept into the whirlpool with the countercurrent.
"Queen Mother, it's not good." Xue Guining led the little eunuch who came in in a hurry, and before he could ask for peace, he said: "Oh no, Niangniang, the third princess has an accident." ”
Xue Guining also blamed him for not covering his mouth, and regretted leading him in. But he was already in front of the queen, and if he wanted to stop him, he couldn't stop him. I only cautiously glanced at the queen's face, and then bumped him with my elbow from time to time, signaling not to go too far.
Looking at the color on the faces of the two of them, the color is particularly ugly, and the words of a mouth are palpitating. Jin Lan's heart chuckled, his complaining eyes were slightly cold, and he said coldly: "What's wrong with the third princess, if you have something to say slowly, is this trying to scare people?" ”
Gao Lingxi's face was also cold, and his eyes stared straight at the little eunuch.
Lan Xin calmed down, and said with a smooth face: "What's wrong with Rubin, speak well." ”
"Back to the queen's mother, the slave is happy, and he is the servant who is waiting for the third princess in the near future. Princess Fang Cai somehow climbed the pear blossom tree of Ah Gesuo, and accidentally fell from the tree...... The head was bleeding and he was already unconscious. ”
"What did you say?" Lan Xin stood up with a sigh, only to feel dizzy: "How is Rubin doing now, is there a royal doctor?" ”
"I've already gone to ask for the imperial doctor, and before the imperial doctor came, the servants didn't dare to move the little princess at will. He only sent her back to her bedroom. Shuangxi looked annoyed, and he was really scared.
Gao Lingxi also stood up, and hurriedly said: "How could the third princess climb the tree with such a good manner, it must be that you people who are waiting close to you are not careful." ”
Su Wanrong saw that the queen was panicked, so she grabbed Concubine Hui and said, "Don't worry, Niangniang, the most important thing now is to go over and take a look first." Father-in-law Xue, please prepare, let the concubines and others accompany the queen to rush over. ”
"Hey, the minion will go." Xue Guining hurriedly rushed out.
Lan Xin walked down with Jinlan's hand, only to feel that her legs were shaking. What the hell is going on? is so dignified, how could Rubin fall from the tree, is it the Queen Mother......
She didn't dare to think about it, and her originally calm face had already revealed deep fear. "This palace goes to see Rubin, Hui Guifei, pure concubine, you come with this palace. Jinlan, you asked people to invite the emperor. ”
I was very annoyed in my heart, blaming myself for not taking good care of Rubin. The more Lan Xin thought about it, the more she felt that it was most likely the Queen Mother's doing, she had already warned herself once. But I didn't disobey her intentions, Rubin is still so young, why is this?
