Chapter 55: Extraneous Branches

No wonder I feel that the name Zhang Binliang is very familiar, the last time I met the Qingzhu Sage, I met Su Rong, and Beiyu Jinchen introduced her to me as the daughter of Zhang Binliang, the right minister.

But if this marriage can come true, Beiyu Jinchen can be regarded as a tiger with wings, although the right minister has no military power, he is the only person who can compete with the left minister.

"Su Jin, what do you think, how is Miss Zhang?" Bei Yuliang also pointed the words at me, so that the Queen Mother turned her head and looked at it with interest.

I feel a little helpless in my heart, every time I mention Beiyu Jinchen, he wants to see my attitude, which is really a headache.

"Look at the person on this portrait, gentle and beautiful, and with a blue heart. Moreover, I heard that the right minister has a good way to teach her daughters, and the daughters in the house are all famous talented women in the imperial capital, and the prince is a superior candidate. What's more, the Queen Mother's vision is naturally excellent. The words were said slowly and logically, not in a hurry or slowly, enough to win the favor of the Queen Mother, but not too obvious.

The Queen Mother smiled aloud and said, "You girl speaks, the mourning family really likes it." ”

Mama put away the portrait and carefully placed it on the desk.

"Your Majesty, how long has it been since you been to the harem? How to do it every day in the Longcheng Palace. Now that I'm in my youth, I have to start a career for the royal family. ”

Bei Yuliang also took a sip of hot tea, put down the cup, and replied, "Yes." ”

"Yu'er has been babbling in the ears of the mourning family for several days."

Beiyu Ryoya's expression did not change. "I'm going to see Concubine Meng and Concubine Li." Speaking slowly, he added, "My only wish now is to hope that Concubine Meng can give birth to this child smoothly. ”

The Queen Mother sighed and shook her head, and said a word.

When Bei Yuliang left, the Queen Mother left me behind, and I was not afraid that she would embarrass me, but he was a little worried, and called Li Mingquan to come with me.

The Queen Mother deliberately pointed out the marriage to Beiyu Jinchen, in fact, I think that the most pitiful thing about this marriage should be Su Rong, she is just a transaction of political interests. And Beiyu Jinchen has a lot of obsession with Luo Yu, otherwise he wouldn't have gone to great lengths to get close to the Dark Night Pavilion, he just wanted to find out the truth and avenge his wife. It's just that Su Rong is willing to be used, just like Ruxue wants to get close to King Ling Ran.

My aunt called this kind of emotion tempting, what is tempting, this word is only a confusion for me, at the age of ten, I was moved to see the cousin next door to me unexpectedly good? At the age of fourteen, I saw that Bei Yuliang also admired his resolute temperament? Still is......

Press your palms to your chest and feel your heartbeat. If pain, happiness, jealousy, anger, just for one person, then this emotion is too terrible and too luxurious.

The Queen Mother put on her coat, and I followed behind her, and her steps stopped at the Hall of Eternal Life.

She picked up the fire fold and lit the lamps one by one, and I carried a jar of lamp oil so that she could add oil to the lamp.

The candle flame flickered on and off, our shadows cast on the screen, and the slender silhouette that was pulled revealed was a bit weird.

There was no fire in the Hall of Eternal Life, it was cold and clean, and the hand holding the altar froze after a while. The Queen Mother's hand was also slightly red, and the hand that grabbed the fire fold was a little stiff. But she didn't feel it at all, and there was a tenderness in her eyes.

The tip of her small and straight nose is more clear in the side face, although the charm still exists, it is an indisputable fact that her temples are white. Her appearance is not outstanding, she can only barely be regarded as a small family jasper, and she was just one of the ordinary concubines back then, not to mention favored, she was almost a woman forgotten by the first emperor, but it was precisely this most inconspicuous person who became the noble queen mother of Beiyan, the world is impermanent, and everything is unpredictable.

The lights lit up one by one, illuminating half of the Hall of Eternal Life.

"The night is long, the mourning family can only come here to light this cold lamp, only in this way can the days pass faster and be less lonely." Her voice was long, echoing through the empty hall. "The mourning family is the queen mother, and she is also a woman, a woman who no one hurts."

"The Queen Mother's ......"

She interrupted me with a wave of her hand. "There are many differences between Liang Yi and the first emperor, but there is one thing in common, that is, persistence. The first emperor was obsessed with Concubine Mei, and he was obsessed with you. She spoke, and the movements in her hands continued. The mourning family knows that you have saved his life, and if you save him, it is equivalent to saving the mourning family. But the mourning family wants you to know that an emperor must not have real emotions, this is a fatal weakness, and the mourning family does not allow Liang to have this weakness. ”

Hearing the meaning of her words, I didn't dare to drag it at all, and quickly knelt on the ground and covered my hands with my head. "The slave maid came to the palace just to eat well, and there was nothing else to think, if the queen mother did not worry about the slave maid, the slave maid could stay and serve the queen mother." After saying this, she didn't move, and the pungent smell of lamp oil lingered all over me, and I could even hear my own heartbeat, again and again. Or...... Slaves and maids can leave the palace just like that...... Never appear in front of the emperor......"

She leisurely lit the last lamp, and the hall was illuminated. "Get up."

I didn't dare to get up and continued to kneel on the ground.

She put down the fire fold and reached out to help me up. "Alright, you can go back."

I knew she had compromised, so I nodded obediently and left.

In the plan to restore the country, she was a very important step, the queen mother was very close to Zuo Xiang back then, and it was said that she was a childhood sweetheart. My aunt believes that the key factor for Bei Yuliang to be able to ascend the throne is the support of the left minister, if a breakthrough can be found between them, there will be a reason to overthrow Beiyan in an open and honest manner, and it can be regarded as an explanation to the world.

Longcheng Palace, the hall is empty.

You don't need to grind and make tea for Bei Yuliang, you will feel bored.

Thinking of his deal with Beiyu Jinchen, he went to the door of the main hall and began to rummage through it.

Whether it's a bookshelf or the bottom of the bed, I've searched all over the place, but I can't find the succession decree he wants, if the Longcheng Palace doesn't have it, then I have no other way, I will never be able to enter the Emperor Shichen, and there is no familiar person in the Hanlin Academy, so it is difficult to get this thing.

On second thought, could it be that he was deliberately embarrassing me?

After sitting on the ground and resting for a while, he got dressed, took the palace lamp and went out.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw a handsome face, cold as frost, and a hard silhouette hidden in the darkness.

"Rin-sama...... It's so late, what's the matter? ”

His gaze wandered away, and he reached out and pulled out a small medicine bottle. "You have a wound on your wrist."

I laughed and excused myself, "I haven't used up what you gave me in the paddock last time......"

His outstretched palms slowly closed, and some kind of flashing emotion didn't have time to discern. The weather was cold and the night was cold, but he still wore a thin shirt, and the light blue coat was like ink and blue in the night, and he couldn't see the color clearly. "Are you feeling better?"

I was stunned for a moment, and realized that he was asking about Yinyue. My heart suddenly condensed, and every time I mentioned her, I was uncovering a scar. The smile on his lips cooled little by little. "Man is inherently dead, what's so bad about it." Stepping out of the threshold and closing the door of the main hall, a muffled voice sounded. "Don't mention what is already in the past."

Carrying the palace lamp, the dim light faintly illuminated a place a few steps away.

He walked beside me without saying a word.

Time is a very strange thing, obviously a few months ago he was still threatening with a knife in the plum garden, and I was racking my brains to fight wits and courage with this unknown person, but now I can walk calmly side by side, as if I am an old friend who has known each other for a long time.

"Where to go?" He asked.

I thought about it for a while, and I was going to try my luck at the Hanlin Academy, but I had to change my strategy when I met him. "I was in a panic and walked casually. Where is Rin-sama going? ”

"Looking for you, administering the medicine." He replied coldly, and after a while, he said, "Now I want to walk around casually." ”

All the way through the Xiaobei Gate, to the LVGEM Garden, and then go further is the dormitory of the ninth month.

It is said that Rin Yan is not only a strategist by Beiyu Liangyi's side, but also one of the best violinists in the palace, and usually teaches Yuejiu piano skills, so it is more convenient to come and go in the harem.

But even if it's convenient, you should avoid suspicion, so I don't see him very often, and I haven't spoken in a long time since the paddock.

LVGEM Garden is full of stone-paved paths, and if you don't look closely, you will trip over, I carefully lifted my skirt and stepped on the path, and the lamp in my hand slipped and I didn't have time to grab it. He took a step forward and steadily caught the palace lamp.

"I'll get it." His tone was unmistakable.

Before I could say a word of thanks, I caught a glimpse of a pair of figures, and after taking a closer look, I couldn't help but freeze in place.

Su Rong stood beside Beiyu Jinchen, hiring Tingting, with an excellent posture, the snow-white rabbit fur collar lined with Yiren was like snow, and he was still light and light, with a shallow smile on his lips, but his eyes were cold. The two are like a pair of beautiful people, standing quietly, no wonder the Queen Mother wants to match them......

Rin followed my gaze, and the moment their eyes met, I clearly felt that Rin instantly gathered all his emotions, cold as a block of ice.

My intuition told me that there must have been a holiday between him and Beiyu Jinchen, otherwise, the cold emotions would not have been so obvious.

I symbolically blessed my body, and I was ready to pass by like this, so as not to cause any extraneous branches.

"Miss Jin still came out so late to relax?" It was Su Rong who spoke, and it was a sentence that felt very ordinary, but I heard a provocative meaning.

"Isn't Miss Rong too?" I asked rhetorically, deepening the smile on my lips. The sudden reaction was already veiled, but it didn't have to be like that at all.

She covered her lips and smiled, and said, "Miss Jin is so late, go together......"

Beiyu Jinchen never said a word from beginning to end, as if it was none of his business to stay in foreign affairs, this is his consistent style, and I have long been accustomed to it, but Su Rong, seeing that he did not react, was a little anxious.

"Let's go." Rin suddenly grabbed my hand, and was about to leave without saying anything, I couldn't react for a while, so I could only let him pull me.

At the moment of rubbing shoulders, the other hand was grabbed and forced me to stop.
