040. Mrs. Jing in the cold palace
Thinking of this, Mu Ziqin suddenly changed his mood. He pulled Luo Ge into his arms, and then attached his lips to hers. Then start kissing.
His sudden movements made Luo Ge a little uncomfortable. After all, the transformation is a bit too fast.
When she was thinking about Mu Ziqin's discomfort, she had already been taken to another state by Mu Ziqin. She had no way to authenticate thinking.
By the time she could think, Mu Ziqin had already laid down beside her, and then asked in a tone that she had never had before, "Lone has a question I want to ask." ”
Luo Ge rolled up the corners of the quilt and said, "If there is anything to do with the king, just say it." ”
"Do you women only show a shy attitude in front of the people you like? Or is it the man you like who has this attitude? ”
"No, it won't." Although Luo Ge was a little confused, she analyzed Mu Ziqin from her own perspective, and she said: "Your Majesty, the performance of shyness depends on what kind of problems women face. If it's about men and women, then it's going to be shy. However, if there is a situation as the king says, it will definitely show the shyness of a little woman. ”
"Then why were you so shy?"
Faced with his sudden question, Luo Ge was caught off guard when he was killed, she wanted to say that it was because of men and women, but it seemed that he lost the majesty of the emperor too much, but if it wasn't for men and women, she really didn't know how to express the kind of "like" that made a woman's heart move, after all, she had been attracted to a person for a long time. Moreover, that person also shattered all her hearts and likes.
Looking at her hesitant expression, Mu Ziqin felt uncomfortable for no reason. Just like when he told Xia Tianqing that he wanted to bring her back to Mu Jinguo. At that time, she lowered her head and said nothing, and he couldn't see whether her face in the shadow was sad or happy.
The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and finally got up directly, and then got dressed and left.
Luo Ge felt the sudden cold air, which made her shiver. For his sudden movements, she didn't want to investigate it at the moment. After all, sleepiness hit, she just turned around and wrapped the quilt tightly, and then fell into a deep sleep.
Mu Ziqin, who quickly dressed and went out, became more and more sober, he walked out of Zhaochun Palace quickly, and then waited outside for a few hours, and went directly to the cold palace.
In this place of the Cold Palace, if Mu Ziqin hadn't remembered Xia Tianqing today, he might not have appeared here in his life. I wouldn't know that Mrs. Jing in the cold palace is not doing well at the moment.
Mrs. Jing, maiden name: Qiu Yingbai. Just because she has a well-behaved and quiet personality, she usually doesn't like to fight with others, so she was given the name Mrs. Jing from the moment she entered the palace. In this way, I went all the way to the palace, and I was still Mrs. Jing. It is precisely because of her character that she doesn't like to compete, although Mu Ziqin doesn't say that she loves her, she will have a share of the big and small ladies in the palace. If it weren't for the fact that she said the wrong thing at the family banquet after entering the palace, she would still be the lady Jing who was protected by Mu Ziqin.
The time when Mu Ziqin arrived in the cold palace was almost close to Zishi, and the guards guarding outside the cold palace had already begun to be sleepy-eyed. If it weren't for Wang Fuhai's roar, they would not have fallen down the stairs outside the palace gate in embarrassment at this moment, and saluted Mu Ziqin in the form of lying on their stomachs.
Mu Ziqin looked at the people on the ground, did not speak, but directly pushed the door in. What greeted me was a snow-white patch. Because it is a cold palace, there will be no flowers and plants planted in the small garden outside, so the winter snow still covers the entire yard thickly.
When Mu Ziqin walked to the door of the hut where Mrs. Jing lived, there was already an old woman waiting with a palace lamp with the words "Cold Palace".
"The old slave has seen the king."
"Get up." Mu Ziqin didn't look at her, but directly motioned for her to open the door.
The door slowly opened with a "babbling", and the cold air in the room came in. Mu Ziqin couldn't help but shudder. Walked in against the cold. After looking around, he said, "I didn't expect that after many years, the cold palace is more depressed than in the past." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, a voice came from the shadows, and as soon as he heard it, he could hear the owner of the voice, Mrs. Jing.
"The cold palace has always been so depressed. It's just that the king never came. ”
Listening to her words, Mu Ziqin was stunned. He never expected that the gentle Mrs. Jing in his memory would be so sneering.
"I didn't expect that after a year, Mrs. Jing's eloquence has improved so much."
"Concubines have always been like this, but they never show themselves in front of the king." Mrs. Jing did not come out to meet him, but lit the oil lamp in the house with a fire in the light outside.
Looking at her face in the faint light, Mu Ziqin was surprised to find that the lovely woman with full cheeks and a round body was now too thin.
"You...... How can this be? ”
Madam Jing smiled and said, "Why does the concubine look like this, doesn't the king know? This cold palace has never been a place for people to stay, and it is already considered the luck of the concubine to be able to live here for a year and still live unharmed. Listening to the old woman of the cold palace, the concubine of the previous dynasty died of illness less than a month after coming. ”
"This ......" Mu Ziqin was a little unbearable, but remembering what she said before, he was inevitably a little indignant in his heart.
"I don't know why the king came to the cold palace today?" Mrs. Jing ignored his words and asked directly.
"I don't understand anything, I want to ask my wife."
Looking at his appearance, Mrs. Jing got up, straightened out her clothes, took the old teapot on the table, called the old woman just now, and asked her to boil water and fill the tea before turning around and inviting Mu Ziqin to sit on the only chair in the entire palace, while she sat on the bed.
"I wonder what the king doesn't understand?"
"I want to ask, under what circumstances will a woman show a shy demeanor?"
Hearing his question, Mrs. Jing did not answer, but asked her first reaction: "Your Majesty, are you for that person?" ”
Mu Ziqin naturally knew who the person she was talking about, he shook his head, and said, "I don't quite understand under what circumstances a woman would show such a demeanor?" for Lone had seen it in that man. And I saw it in another person last night. Both of them are shy, but they don't feel the same way for Lonely. ”
Mrs. Jing didn't know who the other person was, and she didn't really want to know, but said directly: "According to what the king said, under what circumstances did the shyness of that person appear before?" And what is the situation of this man now? ”
"Before, that person was after mentioning a certain man, and now this person is after talking to Lonely."
Listening to his words, Mrs. Jing understood the situation, she bowed slightly, and said: "The woman who used to be a woman showed a shy demeanor when she mentioned the man she loved, but now this person is probably because of the king's words." Her feelings for the king, the concubine is not a party, so she doesn't know. ”
While analyzing, Mrs. Jing also said the doubts in Mu Ziqin's heart. This is what satisfies Mrs. Jing most about Mu Ziqin. From the past to the present, Mrs. Jing knows Mu Ziqin's heart very well, and there is no need for him to say more, Mrs. Jing can tell him the answer to certain things in advance, and the same is true today.
Looking at Mu Ziqin, who nodded in satisfaction in the lights, Mrs. Jing felt a little sad in her heart. She had been looking forward to a man for a year, and today came. But not to rescue her, or to give her justice, but to ask her about something that doesn't matter.
She sighed softly, and then said, "The king has other things, if not, then please go back." This cold palace, after all, is not a place where the king can stay for a long time. ”
Listening to her "eviction order", Mu Ziqin's original idea of catching up with her afterwards was dispelled. He just got up, and then Jane comforted her and left.
When he walked out of the cold palace gate, he called Wang Fuhai and advised: "This cold palace is too cold, let people prepare a brazier for heating, winter clothes and bedding for Mrs. Jing." Another palace maid was sent to wait. Everything else is as usual. ”
Mu Ziqin left after telling him. And Mrs. Jing, who was in the cold palace, secretly cried.
When Luo Ge woke up, it was already the second day, and she had already missed the time to go to the Qingxia Palace to settle the morning and dusk. She got up in a hurry and called Yun Lan to freshen up and dress herself, but here she heard the voice of the waiter who came from outside the palace gate.
"Concubine Zhaochun Palace takes the order."
After she heard the voice, she asked Yun Lan to put down the Zhu Hai in her hand and go to take the order.
"By the king's order, Concubine Luo Ge served last night for her meritorious work, and today she is specially exempted from going to the morning and dusk in front of the Queen Mother's Palace."
Hearing the will, Luo Ge almost didn't laugh out loud. She originally thought that this holy decree would be a holy decree that affected herself, but who knew that it was simply to avoid morning and dusk.
After receiving the holy decree, Luo Ge asked Lu Zhi to take the inner servant who came to announce the decree to receive the reward from the chief attendant, and then took the holy decree in his hand and looked at it over and over again.
Seeing her pondering repeatedly, Han Yu, who was standing on the side and didn't like to make a sound, suddenly opened her mouth, and she asked, "Niangniang, what are you doing here?" ”
"This palace is wondering, what is the purpose of the king's decree?"
"Doesn't the king just want his mother to rest?"
Luo Ge shook his head and said, "How can a person with such a delicate mind as the king let this palace rest because of this, although this palace did miss the time of morning and dusk today, but this is not the first time that this palace has missed it." But it was the first time in several years that the king had decreed that the palace would not go. ”
"What do you think, then?"
Luo Ge was inspired and asked, "Where did the king go last night?" ”
Han Yu looked at Lu Zhi, who had been standing beside her, turned her hand, and motioned for her to speak. Lu Zhi, who couldn't hold back for a long time, immediately stepped forward happily after seeing Han Yu's expression: "Niangniang! The king went to the cold palace last night and saw Mrs. Jing. ”
"Is that Mrs. Jing who has been locked up in the cold palace since last spring?"
"Yes, yes, that's her."
"Do you know who that Lady Jing is?"
