Chapter Forty-Nine: Half River and Half River Red
The Queen Mother waved her hand lightly, signaling Yafu to drop her shoulders. After her shoulders stopped, she slowly walked down with Yafu's hand, helped Gao Lingxi with a hand, and said indifferently: "The mourning family really didn't mistake you, you are a kind and righteous person." The first emperor died, the power in the palace changed, your husband and my emperor became the new monarch of the Qing Dynasty, and the responsibility on your shoulders was a lot heavier.
Your father can serve the first emperor, and he will definitely be able to do his best for the emperor, and we, the women in the harem, should only be the best for our husbands. ”
"Yes, Queen Mother, the concubine understands." Gao Lingxi nodded solemnly, unable to tell what it was like in her heart.
The Queen Mother smiled approvingly and said, "Then, you go back, the mourning family wants to be quiet." ”
"Congratulations to the Queen Mother." Gao Lingxi blessed her body in a proper manner, and it was not until the Queen Mother re-walked on her shoulders, sat down steadily, and went to Ningshou Palace surrounded by a crowd of people that she dared to straighten up. What the hell is going on, Gao Lingxi really can't figure it out! What made her even more awe-inspiring was that a strong sense of strangeness instantly swept through her heart.
Except for her, who stood in the bleak wind and was dressed in a vegetarian body, no one paid attention to it at all. Like a lonely leaf, it fell on this golden and solemn forbidden place, and it looked out of place. Whether it can grow into a towering tree here is a matter of creation and mental strength, Gao Lingxi was a little discouraged, and she suddenly felt that it was not up to anyone to go where to go. It's like Fucha Xunyan died under the back window, is it just the work of a doorman! Things are still unclear to this day, but she still has to endure it and bear it silently.
Sighing lightly, Gao Lingxi had no choice but to follow the road she had come from and return to the Emperor's mourning hall, after all, she didn't recognize the rest of the places except for the road she had walked once.
There's still a long, long way to go.
"After tomorrow, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will arrange for the ladies to stay in the palaces." Yafu glanced back at Gao Lingxi, and said slowly: "Queen Mother, the emperor's mind, which palace should this high-sided Fujin stay in to be safe?" ”
The Queen Mother casually looked at the snow-white lanterns under the eaves of the palace in the distance, rolling and undulating, a little dazzled. He simply closed his eyes and said, "It's just to live there for the time being, it doesn't matter which palace it is." If the holy decree is not given, if the name is not right, it will not be good, and there is no difference between good and bad living. ”
This seemed to be said to the Queen Mother herself, Yafu groaned slightly, and said with relief: "Rumors stop at the wise, the emperor is wise, how can he believe these nonsense." The Queen Mother really doesn't have to mind. It is the new emperor who ascends the throne again, and the affairs of the previous dynasty are complicated, and they have to be the same. Moreover, the slave and maid look at it, the emperor respects the queen mother very much. ”
"If it is respectful, why should the mourning family be the queen mother's edict, and there is no day to be promoted. Chongqing Empress Dowager, does it mean that the emperor wants to exempt the mourning family from the canonization ceremony? ”
Yafu was sad when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "How can it be, Queen Mother, the emperor is your fourth elder brother." The slave and maid dared to speculate about the sacred heart, probably because the emperor didn't want this matter to be hasty and disappoint you, so he thought about it in the long run. The queen mother is the queen mother, how can there be no noble, the emperor is filial, and it will inevitably be arranged properly. ”
handed the silk silk to the queen mother's hand, and Yafu's face showed a slight warmth: "The slave maid also said that the political affairs of the previous dynasty were heavy, but even so, as soon as the emperor heard that you were going to worship the first emperor in front of the spirit, didn't he immediately rush to Cining Palace to accompany you." Just this heart, the Queen Mother should be happy! ”
The queen mother stroked the elegant phoenix robe, the noble Buddha lotus was very solemn, the silver hairpin on the sideburns swayed and collided with the forward movement of the shoulder, and the crisp sound disturbed the queen mother's restlessness, so she simply pulled it off and threw it on the ground. "Heart?" The Queen Mother snorted coldly: "Yafu, you have accompanied this palace through ups and downs for so many years, what kind of human heart has never seen it."
The first emperor favored the mourning family before his death, and he did not give me the title of queen. finally looked forward to the fourth elder brother ascending the throne as the emperor, but he ended up in such a lonely situation, and became such a 'Chongqing Queen Mother', which was too chilling for the mourning family. ”
Although she said this, the Queen Mother also had her own plans in her heart: "The mourning family wants to know who set off this empty wind and caused the mourning family to be so bleak." Such a wolf ambition is afraid that he can keep a mouth that can only tell right and wrong, but he can't keep his own life. Yafu, you hurry up and find out, don't let the emperor notice. ”
"Yes, Queen Mother." Yafu suspected that this was spread by Concubine Yu at first, but today when he saw Prince He, who was full of foreign appearances, most of the doubts in his heart dissipated: "The slave ponders, Concubine Yu does not dare to be an enemy of the Queen Mother." Now she is also a concubine herself, and the only thing she hopes for is to be able to go out of the palace and live in the prince's mansion, and she doesn't have to die alone in Shoukang Palace. I'm afraid that I don't dare to have such thoughts, and I have affected the fifth elder brother. ”
"Concubine Yu, she doesn't dare!" The Queen Mother stroked her eyebrows and said lightly: "If she dares, with her beauty and talent back then, and the credit of giving birth to her brother, how can she willingly succumb to my seat." Give the flesh and blood of his relatives to the mourning family to raise. That Hongday, but her lifeline. ”
Hongday's life is connected with her life, the Queen Mother did not declare it, but Yafu understood it. "The wind is blowing, you all go fast, don't let the Queen Mother blow the wind." Yafo looked at the sky and urged the minions who were carrying their shoulders.
"Later, let her come along." The Queen Mother looked at the long and narrow phoenix eyes, and said with a smile: "These times, thanks to her, Prince Bao's Mansion is so impressive." The mourning family always has to thank her in person, don't they! ”
Yafu quickly understood who she was referring to in the Queen Mother's mouth, and replied calmly: "The slave and maid will naturally arrange it well, and the Queen Mother is at ease." ”
When Gao Lingxi returned to the mourning hall, Fu Jin had already asked Gegesu Wanrong to go down to rest. Ulanara Panyu was sobbing next to Fujin, and this crying was a long time. But the position that originally belonged to her made Jin Peizi take half a step forward, and now it seems that that small vacancy really can't fit her slender body.
Is that why they can't tolerate themselves? Gao Lingxi wanted to cry a little without tears, but she still had to kneel, and she still had to cry in grief, who made her the daughter-in-law of the royal family, and who made her husband the holy lord of the Qing Dynasty.
With a heart, she simply knelt in Su Wanrong's position, and behind Jin Peizi, she whimpered with resentment. The hot tears rolling down the skin that was blown up seemed to be left for himself, telling unspeakable grievances.
Qige saw Gao Lingxi kneeling in Su Wanrong's position, and felt a little unhappy in his heart, but because this solemn mourning hall was not a place to quarrel, he only endured this breath. Xu was caused by his temperament, and he was aware of something beside him, and after crying for a while, he felt that his chest was so tight that he couldn't stand it.
Huang Rui'e watched her swaying from side to side, pressing her chest and covering her mouth and nose, her face changed: "Qiqige, are you okay, should you want to vomit?" ”
Although this sentence was not too loud, Jin Peizi and Gao Lingxi both heard it clearly, and they turned around and looked at Qi Qige.
Jin Peizi saw that her face was blue, and she couldn't help but glance at her, and teased: "Su Gege gave birth to Yongzhang for less than half a year, and there are also people who are weak and can't withstand the toss. ”
Gao Lingxi sighed lightly and said slowly: "I asked Fu Jin, if it doesn't matter, allow you to go back and rest." It's just that at this time, I'm afraid it's inconvenient to ask the imperial doctor, and it's hard for you to endure it. ”
Qiqige cried and nodded, covering his mouth and nose vigorously and silently.
"Fujin." Gao Lingxi turned around, and this voice of Fu Jin was called, and he unconsciously remembered the words of the Empress Dowager Fang Cai, as if it was not appropriate. Then he changed his words: "Niangniang." Qiqi was a little uncomfortable, and the concubine thought that she should be sent to rest in the partial room first? ”
Lan Xin's eyebrows moved slightly, and he slowly turned around, holding the silk silk in his hand, but he didn't wipe the tears off his face: "What are you calling me?" ”
Gao Lingxi was slightly stunned and opened his mouth, but he couldn't answer.
Seeing that she was embarrassed and cramped, Lan Xin's face softened a little, and called Zhilan over: "You call Linglan and Fanglan to come in, and help Keriette Gege to go out to rest." If it doesn't get better, just let someone take it to the imperial pharmacy and show it to the imperial doctor on duty. Remember, don't alarm others. ”
Zhilan was originally a maid who went out of the palace, so she was naturally more familiar than others: "The slave maid will let people lead Gege to the imperial pharmacy, and Fujin is at ease." ”
With a slight bow, Lan Xin let out a long breath, and saw that someone walked out with Qi Qige, and then said to Gao Lingxi through Jin Peizi and Panyu: "Gao Fang Fujin, you come to my side." ”
Panyu didn't speak, but he was already depressed. Gao Lingxi went out with the Queen Mother, but after a while, he came back and called Fujin "Niangniang". What did the Queen Mother say? Kneeling back half a step, Panyu said to Jin Peizi: "You also kneel back a little, don't block Fujin from talking to Gaofang Fujin." ”
Jin Peizi gritted her teeth and moved obediently.
Gao Lingxi walked over and knelt down behind Yu Fujin.
I only heard Lan Xin say: "The holy decree has not been issued, you can call me Fujin by yourself." Inevitably, our hearts have to be calm. Ling Xi, the palace is not as good as the house, and it is the best policy to be cautious in words and deeds. ”
"The concubine knows her mistake." Gao Lingxi leaned down, lowered his eyebrows and said, "Fujin teachings, concubines remember." On this day, she could not remember the first time she had been so obedient, and she did not understand whether such obedience would keep her safe. It's just that she really cried a little paralyzed, and her heart was like stagnant water.
When night fell, the palace maids lit countless mourning white lanterns, and the Forbidden City was immediately shrouded in bleak and mournful darkness, and there was endless sorrow.
The figure in the dark cloak shook into the prayer hall with light movements, and disappeared into this gloomy light and shadow.
