041. Luo Ge explores the cold palace
Hearing her question, Lu Zhi was a little puzzled, but still told her: "Mrs. Jing is the daughter of the current hussar general Qiu Sheng - Qiu Yingbai. She was the king's first lady. ”
"What's her personality?"
Hearing her question, Lu Zhi was slightly stunned, then looked at her with a look of anticipation, and said without having time to think about it: "Mrs. Jing has always been the king's interpreter flower from the palace to the cold palace, and she has a gentle personality, and she doesn't like to fight with others. There were rumors in the palace before that she didn't even want the position of concubine in the palace, she just wanted to be a lady in a corner of the palace. Therefore, when the king wanted to add a seal before, she refused. She is also the first concubine who dares to refuse the king's reward. ”
Luo Ge listened to Lu Zhi's description and probably knew the basic situation of Qiu Yingbai. Then, he said, "Where is this cold palace?" ”
"It's in the northwest corner of the palace. Near the harem of the palace maid's room. ”
"Take Hongu with you."
Luo Ge looked at the road outside the door that had been cleaned by the palace maids, took a cloak and was about to go out. Lu Zhi, Han Yu, and Yun Lan, who were following her, followed her footsteps and walked out.
As she walked Yun Lan, she asked, "Niangniang, do you want to prepare a step for you?" ”
"No, you don't." Luo Ge shook his head, "Let's just walk like this." If memory serves, the maid's room of this bureau palace is quite close to Zhaochun Palace. Since Lu Zhi said that it was close to the palace maid's room, it must not be so far. Just walk over and enjoy the beautiful scenery in this palace. ”
Listening to what Luo Ge said, the three people behind him didn't say much, but silently followed out of Zhaochun Palace behind them. Leaving the other palace maids and attendants in the palace to look at each other.
Although Luo Ge said that she wanted to see the scenery in the palace, she never stopped along the way, and even kept speeding up. In this way, about a stick of incense, they arrived at the gate of the cold palace.
Just like when Mu Ziqin came, there were only two guards outside the palace gate. When they saw the comer, they immediately stepped forward and saluted. Luo Ge signaled and pushed the door directly. Compared to when Mu Ziqin came in the middle of the night, the cold palace was much more lively at the moment.
Because Mrs. Jing, who had not been out for a long time, suddenly went out of the palace gate today and moved a chair in the house to bask in the sun in the yard. The palace maid who had just been sent to take care of her saw Luo Ge and immediately knelt down and saluted.
Luo Ge looked at Mrs. Jing, who had closed her eyes and was breathing slowly, and she interrupted the old woman next to her to wake her up. She just walked up to her side and found someone to carry a chair and sit down to bask in the sun with her.
The sun in the morning was a little warmer than in winter, and after a while, Luo Ge's sleepiness also came up. But before she could sleep, she heard Mrs. Jing beside her get up, salute, and say, "The concubine has seen the concubine." ”
Luo Ge opened his eyes and looked at the man whose cheeks were sunken and as thin as a firewood branch: "There is no need to salute." It's not easy for your body to come out and bask in the sun now. If you continue to be malnourished, you will probably die soon. ”
Listening to the concerned tone in Luo Ge's words, Qiu Yingbai was a little unaccustomed. Because in her memory, Luo Ge was a hot-faced and cold-hearted person. Even if she was framed by Su Qingyu, she knew the truth and would not interfere with the people who helped. At this moment, it was this kind of concerned voice, which made her really uncomfortable.
Looking at the complicated expression on her face, Luo Ge said: "If this palace has been too difficult for you before, now this palace apologizes to you." ”
"The concubine didn't dare. Everything is just the concubine's own fault. As soon as she said it, Qiu Yingbai was so frightened that she immediately admitted her mistake.
Looking at her appearance, Luo Ge didn't know what to do for a while, so he could only smile awkwardly, and then let her get up. Her helpless look when she got up made her sigh, and then said, "Don't be too nervous, I have something to ask you." ”
"Mother, you say."
"I heard that you have been the king's interpretation flower since you entered the palace. So this palace wants to know what the king came to you yesterday and asked. ”
Listening to her words, Qiu Yingbai was a little hesitant, although she was in the cold palace, after all, she was still the concubine of the harem, and she still belonged to the king.
Looking at her hesitant expression, Luo Geping retreated from the others, then asked her to sit down, and continued: "I don't know what happened to the king in this palace last night, and then the king also saved the palace this morning to go to the morning and dusk province in the queen mother's palace. ”
"So what?" After listening to Luo Ge's description, Qiu Yingbai didn't quite understand what Luo Ge meant.
"You have followed the king for so many years, don't you know the king's temper and character? This palace had already provoked him to leave Zhaochun Palace last night, and even let him leave alone. According to his character, shouldn't this palace be held responsible? ”
Qiu Yingbai looked at Luo Ge with a surprised expression. That's because she didn't expect Luo Ge to know Mu Ziqin's unknown awkward personality.
Mu Ziqin has always belonged to the surface since the past, and everything is good, once someone goes against his will, then he will definitely find a way to retaliate even harder. Sometimes it makes people think that he is a little childish. Because this kind of personality can only be found by eight or nine-year-old children. And since Mu Ziqin ascended to the Great Treasure, it has rarely been like this again. So, when Luo Ge asked, Qiu Yingbai was a little incredulous.
Looking at her incredulous expression, Luo Ge understood. Mu Ziqin should have never shown such emotions in this palace, or only Qiu Yingbai had seen it.
"Mrs. Jing?" Luo Ge reminded her slightly.
Qiu Yingbai put away her surprised expression, and then said, "I don't know how Niangniang thinks that the king has such a temper?" ”
Luo Ge looked at Qiu Yingbai's expression that he had concealed for him, laughed, and said, "What kind of character is the king, this palace thinks that only you and I may know in this palace." You are because you have been with the king all the year round, and as for the main palace...... It may be difficult to explain. So you don't do you any good with you and me by hiding it like this. ”
Qiu Yingbai, who was exposed by Luo Ge, was a little uncontrollable on her face. However, Luo Ge would not embarrass her, but continued: "You just have to tell the palace what the king said to you last night." ”
"Your Majesty, I came to this cold palace overnight last night just to ask the concubine a word - why is a woman shy."
"Again." After listening to what she said, Luo Ge had doubts for herself.
"Could it be that the king asked about it at the mother's place?"
"Yes." Luo Ge nodded, "When the king asked the palace to untie his clothes for him before, the palace was slightly ...... Ahem, and then the king asked. ”
Looking at Luo Ge's cheeks, which were slightly flushed from mentioning this matter, Qiu Yingbai figured out the whole thing.
"From this point of view, the concubine knows why the king was angry last night, and she also understands why the king asked about these things last night, and even came to this cold palace overnight."
"Why?"
"For a woman."
"Who?"
"The king's junior sister - Xia Tianqing."
This is the first time that Luo Ge has heard about his past life and his evaluation of himself from other people's mouths. She didn't speak, but listened quietly to Qiu Yingbai's clear portrayal of her image from memory.
"Wang Shang has never been a person who likes to expose his feelings, but he has never been able to mention Xia Tianqing. Xia Tianqing is the eldest daughter of Xia Shiren, the prime minister of Su Qianguo, but she grew up in the south. I heard that it was because of her mother that she was not treated by the Xia family. However, she is really a strange woman.
"At a young age, Xia Tianqing was already the first talented woman in Jiangnan, and she learned her master's medical skills early. She is different from ordinary girls, ordinary girls may learn some female popularity after learning piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. In addition to learning piano, chess, poetry and painting, and female infrared, she also studied medical science. By the time she returned to Kyoto, Su Qianguo, she was already the first talented woman in Su Qianguo.
"I heard from the king that she was like her mother. Young and beautiful, full of economy. So after the king got to know her, his love gradually took root. But the king has not shown his feelings because of her age. But who knows, just because he didn't show it, Xia Tianqing missed him like this, and then became the crown princess of Su Qianguo.
Before she became the crown princess, the king had an opportunity to express his heart, but was rejected by Xia Tianqing. Because Xia Tianqing was very determined to marry Su Ling, the king gave up completely. It was at that time that the king agreed to marry you into the palace.
"Two years later, one day the king came drunk and broke into my room. He told me with a sadness that he had never felt before, that he had lost the last chance to marry Xia Tianqing back. After that, Xia Qianqing became the queen of Su Qian. Since then, the name Xia Tianqing has been decreed by the king that no one is allowed to mention it. In this way, no one in the whole palace mentioned the name again, until I mentioned it, and after that...... That's what it is now. ”
After listening to her story, Luo Ge asked, "Then why is the king angry because of his shyness?" ”
"Because the king once said that the most unforgettable and haunting thing in his life was Xia Tianqing's appearance as a little woman when he mentioned Su Ling. The kind of shyness that is like the red flowers that bloom in winter is what he wants to have most in his life. It's a pity that it was given to others. ”
After listening to this last sentence, Luo Ge didn't know whether to be happy or sad. About everything about her, she never thought that Mu Ziqin would have such feelings, although the master had mentioned it before, but she took it to heart, and at this moment, it seemed that she missed a person who loved her deeply, and it was because of her revenge that she turned this person away. In the end, he made a mistake on the road of revenge and harmed himself.
Seeing that Luo Ge didn't say a word, Qiu Yingbai thought that she was in a state of sorrow because she fell in love with Mu Ziqin, and immediately explained: "Niangniang, don't worry too much, the king's junior sister may be ...... now Already...... There will be no more chance to come back. ”
"But because she's no longer alive?"
Qiu Yingbai didn't expect Luo Ge to directly tell this fact. At the beginning, she was thrown directly into the cold palace because she mentioned this matter above the king.
