"Zheng, Zheng, Zheng, Zheng------ Zheng." The sound of the piano continued to sound, and the sound of the piano like a ding dong spring came from Xingzhen's boudoir one after another. A little maid dressed in light gauze and long sleeves held a tea tray and whispered to Hui Zheng: "Master, Miss has been working harder and harder since she entered the palace

It's ~"

"Well, that's good. At least it can make the apricot rise her knowledge and expand her horizons. Hui Zheng sat casually on a wooden rocking chair, squinting, wearing an embroidered coat comfortably, tasting high-quality fragrant tea, as if enjoying this comfortable time, and did not care about the little girl holding the plate next to him.

Hui Zheng asked, "Oh, by the way, what about the pipa?" ”

"Sister Pipa is waiting in the lady's boudoir."

Suddenly, another beautiful little maid came over with long sleeves of light yarn and a fruit bowl, only to see that the fruit bowl contained washed chestnuts and black grapes. The grapes are crystal clear and very beautiful; Chestnuts are delicious and tempting, and they hang people's stomachs. Both have the effect of tonifying the kidney.

Hui Zheng said: "Are these sent by Madame?" ”

The little maid on the fruit plate was stunned for a moment, bowed her head, and said, "Exactly." Madame ordered it to be brought and eaten. ”

The two little maids looked at Hui Zheng almost at the same time------ Hui Zheng was appointed as a fourth-grade official, and now he is receiving holy favor, and ------- is still a wife, and has never taken a concubine. The two little maids smiled silently, no matter how loyal a man is to his wife, he will never resist the temptation of the two beauties at the same time.

Hui Zheng tasted fragrant tea and looked at the scenery of the February Houmen outside the threshold, it was February, and it was about to enter spring. The snow has been melting for three winters, and the white apricot blossoms are slowly replacing the white snow. Yikes! I heard that the apricot blossom tree in the palace has bloomed, and it has been blooming earlier and earlier recently...... At that time, after the snow melts, the arrival of wet spring is something to look forward to.

"Click, click, click."

The light pace of stepping on the bricks one by one, making a crisp sound is very good. It's Xingzhen here. Hui Zheng slowly raised her head, Xing'er has become more and more familiar with wearing these flower pot shoes recently. Xingzhen tied a cloak with an embroidered knot, bent at the knee, and the cloak came down like a falling petal, Xingzhen said very sensibly: "Xing'er asks Ama to say goodbye." ”

Hui Zheng nodded and said, "No courtesy, sit down." “

Xingzhen thanked Hui Zheng, sat on the seat, glanced at the two little maids, and said, "Are these all sent by Enie?" ”

Hui Zheng didn't say anything, just looked at Xingzhen with interest from the side.

"Yes."

"Are you the maids in the house of Nie?"

Suddenly, the two little maids were stunned, but after a while, the two looked at each other and said at the same time, "Yes."

"Oh, so you are! I was just thinking that if you weren't, then it would be strange: how could Enie let a maid who was not in his own room give him food? ”

At this moment, Pipa on the side suddenly said: "Miss, I have seen the two of them, they are the new maids in the old man's room recently." ”

Xingzhen glanced at the pipa and said, "Oh, I see, I have to say, it's the first time I've seen a maid in Amma's room." ”

The two little maids knelt down and said, "The slave and maid know that they are wrong, the slave and the maid should not lie, and ask the lord and the young lady to be forgiving." ”

At this time, Xingzhen was stunned when she saw this, but immediately straightened her expression and sat upright.

Hui Zheng glanced at Xingzhen, grinned, and then said to the two maids: "Heh, don't ask me to be tolerant, if you go out, someone will deal with you." ”

The two little maids were startled, and they wanted to stay on it, but after thinking about it carefully, if they didn't listen to the master's words, it would be a crime! I had to kneel, and then obediently went out.

Seeing that the two maids went out, he told Pipa to go out and wait first, and then Hui Zheng said to Xingzhen: "Those words about you and Pipa are taught by you." ”

Xingzhen wanted to help Enie hide it, but when she saw Amma asking, she naturally didn't dare to lie. Just blushing, didn't say anything, and nodded.

Seeing this, Hui Zheng sighed and said, "It's okay, but you have to learn to say these words yourself in the future." ”

Xingzhen looked at Hui Zheng with a confused face.

Hye-jung stared at Xingzhen, and his eyes seemed to think of something, but he didn't say anything, and after a heavy sigh, he only gently touched his hand on Xingzhen's head.

Xingzhen squinted her eyes slightly, I don't know why, she has been touched by Amma many times, but this time it makes her feel special, there is a feeling of being touched by Amma's head for the last time.

Strange, why did Amma's hands feel a little heavy...... Xingzhen thought to herself.

Suddenly, the door opened with a "snap", and after welcoming the master in, Pipa silently closed the door. Mrs. Hui Zheng pinched her handkerchief, her anger was obvious, and her little feet walked in across the threshold with her flowerpot shoes, raised her teacup to eat tea discriminately, and said as soon as she got tea, she said, "Oh, the courage of the maid is getting bigger and bigger. ”

Hui Zheng stroked Xingzhen's spine and said, "What are you going to do with those two little maids?" ”

Madame shouted, "Xing'er, come here!" ”

Xingzhen obediently walked over.

Mrs. Hui Zheng took Xingzhen's hand and said, "Look, look at your Ama who spends all day drinking, and you have the audacity to eat the tea of an unknown maid!" I don't know how worried I am as a lady? ”

When Hui Zheng heard the last sentence, he said happily: "Thank you for your concern." ”

When the lady saw this situation, she was stunned for a moment, and turned her head, so that people could only see the black hair, and did not see the quietly dyed red cheeks. Mrs. Hui Zheng took Xing'er's hand and said, "Xing'er, let's go."

Xingzhen walked unbewilderedly with Enie. I saw Mrs. Hui Zheng take Xingzhen's hand to a long pavilion, the long pavilion is facing a pond, the pond has been baptized by three winters, and now it is already the beginning of the ice and snow, and the sparkling water surface has been flooded with green symbolizing the arrival of spring. Mrs. Hui Zheng looked at the pond, felt the breeze on her face, and said slowly, "Apricots." ”

"Enie, Apricot is here."

"Apricot is here."

When she heard this, Mrs. Hui Zheng felt the tip of her nose sour.

She already knew the end of the day.

Hey, girl, after all, you still can't keep it.

Mrs. Huizheng said: "Xing'er, ...... in the future In the future, in the future, you have to learn to protect yourself, you know? ”

"yes, got it!"

"In the future, those who can't be messed with can't be messed with."

"Oh, this is common sense, I naturally know."

"In the future, no matter what, you must live. Because, if you live, you can do anything. ”

After Xingzhen heard this, she was stunned, came back to her senses, and was about to say something, but Pipa hurriedly walked over and said, "Madam, Miss, Master, he asked Madame and Miss to go to the main room." “

When Mrs. Huizheng heard this, she knew that she was always coming, so she smiled bitterly at the sky, gently took Xingzhen's hand, and said, "Xing'er, let's go, I'm leaving." “

Xingzhen was led into the main room by Mrs. Huizheng in this way. As soon as I entered the main room, I saw an old man with a flower feather wearing an embroidered pattern similar to Amma's court clothes, holding a bright yellow scroll, Xingzhen knew that it was an edict, that is, an order issued by the Holy Lord and the Son of Heaven. Both Sagdama and Amma knelt before the old man. I saw that Enie brought Apricot to the back of Amma, and as soon as the hand on her shoulder was forced, Apricot knelt down with a "plop". The old man's voice is very strange, neither male nor female, neither yin nor yang, just listen to the old man: "Anhui Ningchi Guangtai Road!" “

Hui Zheng hurriedly said: "The minister is here!" “

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said: The daughter of the blue flag Daotai, Yehenara, is a nobleman, and ordered him to enter the palace on the ninth day of the fifth month, and he is here."

Selected......

Xingzhen looked up at the old man who was holding the edict, and felt that the embroidery was more and more luxurious and dazzling.

Mrs. Huizheng kowtowed to Xingzhen. Hui Zheng took the edict tremblingly, kowtowed a loud head, and said, "Minister, take the order." “

The husband caged his sleeves and smiled weirdly: "Congratulations to Lord Daotai, the daughter of the family has been selected, this is a good fight!" “

"Father-in-law, this is being tortured."

"Ha, how dare you, at that time, there will be a phoenix in the treasure land of Daotai Mansion, and there will be a phoenix in the family, it will be terrible!"

Listening to that "then", Hui Zheng smiled coldly and said, "It's hard work for my father-in-law to send the decree to read the decree, and I also ask my father-in-law to raise his noble feet and go into the cold house to rest." ”

said that it was a treasure land and a phoenix, but it was said that it was a cold house, and it was said that the high platform was noble, wouldn't this be the emperor's view? How dare the old eunuch cross the line, so he had to hurriedly say: "Ah, don't dare, ah, it's not too early to say it, so I'll leave first." ”

Hui Zheng stared at the figure of the old eunuch fleeing in a hurry, clutching the edict in his hand, and sighed heavily for a long time.

The sky high above proudly contempts the whole world, the vast sky is accompanied by the sun and the moon, the stars are together, and the white clouds are protected. There is no way, under the whole world, it is not the king's land, under the entire firmament, the entire country, every Li people, all belong to the king, he can do whatever he wants. Because, the world is inherently unfair.

Xingzhen knew that after an edict, she would be forcibly taken into the palace to accept the cruel rules, the unfree rituals, and even the possibility that she would never see her dear Sagdamha, Amma, Ene, Wanzhen, and Pipa again for eternity. Xingzhen also knew that her family was also sad, but they all buried these in their hearts, and they were still pretending to be happy on the surface. Xingzhen endured all the reluctance and reluctance in her heart, forced herself not to think so much, and smiled on the surface: "It's okay, it's okay, as the saying goes, it's not a blessing to see the Son of Heaven." ”

Even if you enter the palace, you can enjoy a lifetime of glory and wealth, but on the basis of the cruelty of losing your family and not being free, what about these so-called glory?

Xingzhen took turns hugging her family in a counterclockwise direction, trying to smell the smell of each family member, and keeping them in mind, when she hugged the pipa, Xingzhen smelled the body fragrance on the pipa, tried to sniff it, opened her hand easily, and smiled at her family: "Seeing the Son of Heaven is not a blessing." ”

The so-called glory is the real loss of family and inhumane unfreedom.

Family?

Perhaps, with his own status, Amma can become more and more smooth in the officialdom.

"Don't worry, I won't enter this palace in vain."

The poem says: As soon as you enter the Hou Gate, it is as deep as the sea, and you don't know what happened after you die.
