Chapter 11 Acceptance?
Prince Xiang's memorial service was officially held three days later, and Shunzhi also went to mourn. I heard that after receiving the news of Prince Xiang's death, Wuyunzhu resolutely took off her wedding clothes and changed to filial piety clothes despite the dissuasion of her family, and went to guard Prince Xiang's spirit as a surviving person, the Queen Mother and the Emperor appreciated it after knowing it, and I also admired it very much in my heart, after all, she had not really married Prince Xiang, and she did this, which was equivalent to giving up the happiness of the second half of her life.
It seems that this dark cloud bead is not as weak as I saw it at the beginning, but a strong woman who is quite responsible. No wonder Shunzhi will ......
After the first seven days, Prince Xiang went into the soil for peace, because Prince Xiang said before his death, don't delay the life of Wuyunzhu, so Shunzhi made a will, let Wuyunzhu go home, no longer have to stay in the prince's mansion as Prince Xiang Fujin, and then choose a good family for her in the future.
Shunzhi has never been to Kunning Palace since he cried in front of me on the day he beat himself, probably because he was afraid of losing face, I thought to myself.
Time passed day by day, in a blink of an eye Prince Xiang has passed away for more than a month, during this period I often go to see the Queen Mother, chat with her, relieve boredom, to Xiaozhuang, I always have an indescribable sense of indebtedness, and the Queen Mother after the matter of Prince Xiang but close to me, often say something to me from the bottom of my heart, where is the honor of the Queen Mother when speaking? It's clearly just a lonely woman.
"Huang Eniang, how do you feel?" I was lying on a recliner with my face covered in thinly sliced cucumbers.
"Well, it's cool." The Queen Mother was lying on the other side, her face also covered with cucumbers.
Today, I saw that the Queen Mother's skin was a little dry, so I taught her to make a cucumber hydrating mask, at first she insisted on refusing to put the cucumber on her face, and then I first demonstrated by example, and the Queen Mother did it with suspicion.
"Huang Eniang, this cucumber mask is hydrating, let's try whitening again tomorrow." Because we have something on our faces, we can't make too big mouth movements when we speak, so we are a little slurred when we speak.
"So what's going to be on your face?" The Queen Mother asked.
"There are many types of whitening masks, the most commonly used is to mix pearl powder, egg whites and honey and apply it to the face." I casually said a method.
"It sounds like food, Su Mo'er," the Queen Mother shouted, "Hurry up and write down what the Queen said." ”
"Yes, Queen Mother." Su Mo'er's voice contained a deep smile.
Hehe, I naturally know how "spectacular" my face is when I make a cucumber mask, like a turtle lying on my face.
"Huang Eniang, why haven't you seen my sister and Concubine Tong come over recently?" I asked.
"They, they are all busy preparing for war, how can they still have time to come to Cining Palace."
"Preparing for war?" I reached out and took the two cucumbers attached to my eyes, "Huang Eniang, it's okay, the cucumbers will dry out after a long time, and they will in turn absorb the water on the face." ”
Su Mo'er and the attackers hurriedly brought the clear water, and the Queen Mother was startled when she saw her reflection in the water, and then scolded with a smile: "Look at what has become of this?" Live like a ...... Hehehe......" said and couldn't help laughing.
I smiled and washed my face and said, "Huang Eniang, let's see if my face is much more comfortable." ”
The Queen Mother pressed her cheek and said happily: "It seems to be really much more tender." ”
Hehe, everyone has a love for beauty, even the widowed queen mother is no exception.
The Queen Mother looked at Su Mo'er and the attacker who were eager to try, and said with a smile: "Okay, you two go down first, I'll talk to the queen, you don't need to wait." ”
Looking at the backs of Su Mo'er and the attacker, I asked, "Huang Eniang, what is the 'preparation for war' you just said?" "My name is Huang Eniang, and my name is getting more and more pleasant.
The Queen Mother looked at me and said with a smile: "The fifteenth and thirteenth draft will start next month, and there will be many young and beautiful concubines in the harem, how can they not prepare early?" Now the whole palace is still leisurely with you, the queen. ”
Draft...... I was stunned, time passed so fast, and I smiled, "I'm not very suitable for intrigue games." ”
The Queen Mother looked at me, her thoughts seemed to have flown far away, and her voice became ethereal: "It's not that you are not suitable, you are because you know the ending too well, so you will stay out of it." ”
"The Queen Mother......" I looked worriedly at the Queen Mother's gradually pale face.
"It doesn't matter," the Queen Mother smiled: "During this time, you often come to accompany me, I have already figured it out a little, since I can't escape, I can only face it." ”
I looked at the Queen Mother in front of me blankly, and the Queen Mother asked again: "I want to know, what is your name?" Real name. ”
My name? I lowered my head, I had almost forgotten about it, "Tianlan," I raised my head and looked at the Queen Mother: "My name is Cheng Tianlan." ”
The Queen Mother's eyes were slightly red: "I'm actually very happy, Hui'er can leave here, in your world, will she be happy?" ”
"Yes, definitely," I said firmly, "she will have the love of her parents, the care of her friends, she can go to school carefree, she can be naughty, she can secretly fall in love, and she can grow up happily." Don't have to face a desolate court, false faces, and ...... The indifference of the husband. "Yes, she will be happy, and her happiness is my happiness.
Listening to my words, a look of yearning appeared on the face of the Queen Mother, and it took a long time for her to come back to her senses and smile: "I heard that the Queen has invented a new way to play Go?" It's called 'backgammon'? ”
"Huh? How would the emperor know? "I've only played backgammon once.
"Hehe," the Queen Mother smiled: "A few days ago, I played chess with the emperor, and I said that this game of Go was too laborious, and the emperor taught me the game of 'backgammon', saying that the queen taught him, and the emperor also said......"
"What else?" I asked hurriedly, remembering the night when I pretended to sleep and avoided sleeping, and my face was slightly red.
The queen mother's eyes were full of smiles: "The emperor also said that the queen not only plays chess well, but also plays the piano well, tells stories well, and is also very good at sleeping." ”
I listened to this pile of good, and my ears were red, and Shunzhi was praising me, and he was clearly laughing at me.
"Your Majesty...... Do you often come to Cining Palace? "I'm a little confused, didn't I say that Shunzhi's mother-son relationship is not good?
"I've been here a lot lately, but I've always staggered with you, and I don't know that I think you've discussed it, what's wrong?" The Queen Mother asked rhetorically when she saw me asking.
"Oh, nothing, I thought your relationship was ...... Not ideal. "I was careful with my words.
The Queen Mother smiled bitterly when she heard this: "The emperor has been played with by Dol Roll since he was a child, he complained to me, not only did I not help him, but also asked him to listen to Dol Roll's words, the emperor was still young at that time, and he didn't understand why his dearest Eniang wanted to help outsiders and not help him, so he hated, he hated Dol Roll, and even dug his grave after Dol Roll's death, he also hated me, hated why I didn't come forward to protect him when he needed protection the most, and hated why I smiled at the person he hated the most." Over the years, he never really forgave me. Speaking of this, the Queen Mother's voice became very desolate.
I didn't make a sound, this is the palace struggle, so cruel that it can make the biological mother and son who depend on each other become strangers.
"The emperor doesn't have to be too sad," I said with a smile, "Hasn't the emperor come a lot lately?" ”
"yes, but I really have to thank you for that." There was a hint of relief on the Queen Mother's face.
"Me?" I'm a little surprised, what does this have to do with me?
The Queen Mother smiled: "Recently, the emperor has often come to me, ostensibly to greet me, but in fact, he always asks the queen about things when she was in Horqin, and the emperor wants to know if the queen is so interesting when she is in Horqin." ”
Interesting?? I listened to the Queen Mother's words, my face was slightly distorted, am I a monkey? Do you need to wear a horse coat and knock on the gong to show him?
"But the emperor asked the wrong person." A lonely look gradually appeared on the queen mother's face: "I have been in the palace for 20 years, and I have never been back to Horqin, where will I know what happened to the queen when she was a child?" I almost forgot about it...... The appearance of the savannah. The Queen Mother walked up to me and grabbed my hand: "The emperor himself may not have paid attention, he smiled when he mentioned you, in fact, I really hope that you are really my daughter-in-law, so that the emperor will no longer be so lonely." ”
My heart is sour, can I? Can I take Concubine Dong's place? Shunzhi is just curious about me, and he can't even talk about liking it, let alone ...... I shook my head slowly and whispered, "It's a pity...... I wasn't who he meant to be. ”
The Queen Mother looked at me thoughtfully, I smiled bitterly and didn't speak, and then Li Fu came in to report that Concubine Tong had come to greet the Queen Mother.
Concubine Tong saluted me and the Queen Mother respectively, and looked at Concubine Tong with a look of wanting to speak and stop, and I said goodbye to the Queen Mother.
Out of Cining Palace, it was getting late, I took the joy and the raiders along the vermilion palace wall slowly forward, reflecting the sunset, the Forbidden City looks solemn and desolate, this is really a besieged city, people outside the city want to get in and can't get in, people in the city want to get out but can't get out. The air outside the palace will be freer.
I stopped, looked at the sky, and asked softly, "You say, do I have a chance to go out of the palace to see the capital?" ”
Laixi and the attacker were startled, and the attacker looked at me in horror: "Master, what do you want?" ”
"Hehe," I suddenly found that I liked to see them frightened, "I said, I want to go out of the palace to have fun." ”
"Nope! Can! Yes! "There is a rare tacit understanding between the joy and the attacker.
"It must be possible, isn't it?" I squinted at the two of them.
Lai Xi swallowed his saliva, glanced at the attacker and said, "Quick, let's go back to Kunning Palace, the master is sick." ”
The attacker nodded when he received the signal, and ran with Laixi on the left and right.
"Hahahaha...... "I was so happy to see them that I didn't notice that at the gate of Cining Palace, a tall figure stopped there until my figure disappeared.
