Chapter 190: The Past and the Present
Mu Mingshu really doesn't feel that there is anything to be happy about, what he couldn't ask for in his previous life, but he doesn't feel that there is anything after two lives. How big a woman's heart can be, you can't give what she wants, you think you give the best in the world, but it's not what she wants, so why should she be happy?
Zhao Yiheng is like this, he thinks that the position of the queen is what all women in the world want, and it is the supreme honor, but why is Mu Mingshu not happy?
He swept all the twists and turns on the imperial case to the jade floor, not to mention how aggrieved he was, who did he do all this for? Why did he end up being a person inside and out?
When the palace maids and eunuchs who were waiting in the imperial study saw Zhao Yiheng like this, they were all so frightened that they knelt on the ground. These people are all newcomers, and they can't figure out what the new emperor's temper is, but at this time, they can only kneel down and shout: "The emperor is angry." "I can't do anything else.
Zhao Yiheng lost his temper and returned to normal, as if the first thing had never happened.
Miaoqin Miaoqi led the maid to clean up her things in Moyun Hall, and Mu Mingshu took Zhao Ziyue to lie in the courtyard and bask in the sun. Su Ruolan came over from Yusheng Ju and saw a yard of maids and women who were very busy, but the main owner still looked like she had nothing to do with herself, and couldn't help but smile.
"The mother's anger hasn't subsided yet?"
Mu Mingshu raised his eyes to look at her and pointed to the round stool on the side: "Sit down!" He smiled again: "It's my fault, he gave me the most honorable status in the world, I want to thank the lord Long En before it's too late, where dare I be angry." ”
"You" Su Ruolan pointed at Mu Mingshu, sighed helplessly, and couldn't help but persuade again: "It's different now, even for the sake of the little boy, you can't be like this anymore." ”
Mu Ming's heart ached, she didn't know that this time was different from the past, but she couldn't let go of this breath in her heart, are all men in this world affectionate?
In the past, her biggest thought was to let Zhao Yiyi die a good death and let Zhao Yiheng ascend to the throne, but at this time, that person had already sat on the high throne, and she felt scared again.
She sighed in her heart and said: I am not satisfied.
Then he smiled lightly: "Thank you, I know." ”
The smile was as warm as a spring breeze, but it didn't come into her eyes at all, and when she looked sideways at Zhao Ziyue, who was already asleep, the smile was a little true.
Mu Mingshu didn't want to mention this matter again, and turned his gaze to Su Ruolan again: "How is your business?" ”
Now that Zhao Yiheng has ascended to the emperor, Su Ruolan does not have to continue to be committed to being his nominal woman, and Li Chengyan has made meritorious contributions to the dragon and has already worshiped the three official products, if Zhao Yiheng wants Li Chengyan to serve loyally, the best way is to fulfill his promise.
Su Ruolan smiled, her eyebrows and eyes were as warm as the spring breeze in March, Zhao Yiheng was indeed a person who valued love and righteousness, and he had already made arrangements for her and Li Chengyan before he ascended the throne.
"I have come to say goodbye to you." Su Ruolan said: "The emperor has already made arrangements, and I will return to Su Mansion early tomorrow morning." ”
Mu Mingshu looked at her shining eyes, and also smiled: "Congratulations, if you set a good date, you can talk to me." He added: "Although you may not be able to leave the palace, you will definitely be given a long face." ”
Su Ruolan was also polite when she heard this: "Then you can pick some good ones for me at that time." "She has a gentle and generous temperament, and she is not a threat to Mu Mingshu, because in the past few years, the two of them have really gotten along like sisters, and they are not pretentious when they talk.
"Don't worry, if I have it, I will definitely pick the best one for you, you and I are like sisters, if Li Chengyan dares to bully you in the future, I will be the first to not let him go."
Mu Mingshu pretended to be fierce and amused Su Ruolan, she only took Mu Mingshu as a joke, and laughed down: "I have a queen sister, where can he bully me." ”
Mu Mingshu smiled but didn't make a sound, although her words were a joke, they were also half-true, Su Ruolan had been in the Rui Wangfu for so many years, and regardless of whether Zhao Yiheng had taken her in or not, just the concubine of the Rui King was also a thorn. Li Chengyan, as a man, would be fine if he didn't care about what others said, but in case, if this thorn attacked, it might be a poison that would kill him.
As the so-called authorities are obsessed with bystanders, Su Ruolan has not experienced too many things, and it is normal to not be able to see the twists and turns clearly, but Mu Mingshu can see it clearly.
Looking at Su Ruolan with a bright smile on her face, Mu Mingshu didn't want to scan her letter, so he only picked something that was not light or serious to her. The two of you glanced at me and said a word, but they also sat down for an hour, Zhao Ziyue woke up from his sleep, and the two of them said goodbye.
After sending Su Ruolan away, Zhao Ziyue still rubbed her hazy sleepy eyes and asked suspiciously: "Mother, we are going to move into the palace tomorrow, won't Aunt Su go?" ”
Mu Mingshu rubbed the top of Zhao Ziyue's fluffy head and said, "She won't enter the palace with us, she is going to pursue her own happiness." ”
Zhao Ziyue thought about it for a while, but she still couldn't figure it out, what was called happiness, but she was embarrassed to ask, so she had to pretend to understand and nodded.
The sun outside the courtyard was not as warm as before, and Mu Mingshu was still sitting here with a little sore legs at this time, so he hurriedly moved Zhao Ziyue back to the house.
Her feet are good now, and there is no problem with walking, running, jumping and falling, but when the day is not good, she has a faint pain, and she thinks that she has fallen into the root of the disease.
Miaoqin took the maid to clean up Mo Yuntang, except for Mu Mingshu's dowry, there was nothing else to clean up, the clothes and those objects were so bad that they could not be used in the palace, and the jewelry also made Mu Mingshu scatter most of the out, only picked up the good ones and put them in the cage, and there were books and books, which looked miscellaneous and many, and there were not many things to clean up.
Mu Mingshu glanced at the list handed over by Miaoqin casually, and handed it back with a faint answer: "When you enter the palace, you are all female officials, and you have to watch and handle these things yourself." ”
Miaoqin was happy in her heart, but she didn't dare to show it, she could enter the palace as a female official, it was a blessing from her ancestors who burned high incense. She knelt down and thanked Mu Mingshu once, and became more and more serious when she started to do things.
Miaoqi found a brocade box in the cabinet, an ordinary style, but there was a lock on it, she had been serving by Mu Mingshu's side for a long time, she had never seen this thing, and she was afraid that it contained something very valuable, so she didn't dare to shake it, so she had to carefully hold it to Mu Mingshu and asked, "Niangniang, do you want to bring this into the palace?" ”
Mu Mingshu was feeding Zhao Ziyue to eat pastries, seeing his mouth full of scum, he took a handkerchief to wipe it off for him, and when he heard the words, he glanced up, and then smiled lightly: "I don't remember what is here, you put it down first, and I will look for the key in a while, and I will see what is here." ”
Miao Qi should be played, respectfully put the brocade box on the table, and didn't even dare to raise his head and retreated.
Mu Mingshu was stunned for a moment at the brocade box, and as soon as he turned his head, he saw Zhao Ziyue looking at himself worriedly, and immediately hooked his lips and smiled, and touched his head: "Do you go and see if there is anything in your room that you especially want to take away?" In the end, the wonderful book and the wonderful painting are maids, and they can't be your masters. ”
Zhao Ziyue tilted his head and thought about it, and found that there was really something he wanted to take away, so he saluted Mu Mingshu in a proper manner and ran out.
Mu Mingshu took the brocade box, touched the carving on it, and sighed secretly in his heart, then got up and found a small key in the small drawer of the dressing table. After a moment's hesitation, he opened the brocade box, and there were no valuable objects in it, just some paper.
Some of those papers were letters with Zhao Yiheng, and some were ink paintings he sandwiched in the letters, from the first letter to the last letter, even a few words she folded and stored them in a brocade box.
But now she can't remember the last time she received Zhao Yiheng's letters and paintings, she carefully took out the papers from the envelope one by one, and carefully looked at the pen and ink stained papers, recalling when those letters and ink paintings were received, and what happened during those periods.
I couldn't help crying when I looked at her, these things carried their past, joy and sorrow, although they had to live a life step by step, but their hearts were always together at that time.
After crying a lot, she folded the paper again, stuffed it back into the envelope, stored it in the brocade box, and locked it again, these things are their past, and she decided to take them into the palace, no matter how the two of them live in the future, at least these things can prove that they once loved each other and had a good past.
Before the light of day on the second day, the palace sent a carriage out to welcome Mu Mingshu into the palace, and behind the carriage was a team of internal guards, which was so mighty that the few passers-by on the street saw their eyes straight.
Mu Mingshu took Zhao Ziyue into the carriage, lifted the curtain and looked at the Mu family standing outside the Rui Wangfu and Su Ruolan, who was free, and felt unspeakable sadness for a while. From now on, she is no longer the daughter of the Mu family, she is not Su Ruolan's sister, she is the most noble woman in the world.
Mu Mingshu smiled bitterly, and the jade hand gently lowered the curtain, and now that she had not obtained the queen's phoenix seal, she already felt lonely.
The carriage stopped all the way to the palace gate, Mu Mingshu hugged Zhao Ziyue and changed to take the phoenix chariot into the palace, and her people and things brought out from the Rui Wangfu entered through the corner gate and went straight to Kunning Palace by another road.
Mu Mingshu hugged Zhao Ziyue and sat on the phoenix chariot without squinting, and walked for more than half an hour before entering Kunning Palace, as soon as her phoenix chariot stopped, the palace maids and eunuchs who were guarding the palace gate knelt down and saluted: "Slave, slave maid see the queen mother, mother thousand years old thousand years old." ”
Although Zhao Yiheng's holy decree after the seal has come down, it has not been officially sealed in the end, and it stands to reason that these people should not call her "Queen Mother" like this. Mu Mingshu smiled lightly, no palace person dared to have such a bear-hearted leopard guts, it must be Zhao Yiheng's handiwork.
She held Zhao Ziyue with her right hand, slightly lifted the hem of her skirt with her left hand, and entered Kunning Palace with her feet raised, and as expected, Zhao Yiheng was waiting for their mother and son in the main hall.
