Chapter 1: The Queen Mother returns to the palace
In the spring of the 36th year of the Wei National Calendar, the Queen Mother returned to the palace to hold Jiazi's birthday.
Wei Guojun granted amnesty to the world, and the entire Wei State immediately became jubilant.
In the palace, from the moment I received the news of the birthday, the entire harem from the concubine to the palace maid was busy.
But under this jubilation, there are some people who are not in a good mood.
"Eh, Sister Xinya, what are you...... What's wrong? ”
The palace maid who was stopped looked down at the porcelain fragments on the tray, looked at her hot and red wrists, sniffed aggrievedly, and shook her head with red eyes.
"Concubine Li, has she been in a bad mood lately?" It wasn't the first time she'd seen it.
"I don't know, the master doesn't know what's going on lately, and it doesn't seem to be in a bad mood, and I don't understand."
"Eh, speaking of which, my mother seems to have been in a trance lately."
"Hey, speaking of which, Her Royal Highness the Thirteenth Princess seems to be on a hunger strike a while ago."
"Huh?"
Several palace maids were a little shocked as they spoke, what the hell was going on?
"I probably know something." Suddenly, a chamberlain approached and smiled mysteriously, and then spoke in the midst of an inquiry.
"A few days ago, I went to the Huanyi Bureau to pick up the clothes of the little master, and I accidentally heard the two old grandmothers chatting, it seems that the master of their palace has been abnormal recently, but I haven't heard much, but it seems to be related to the queen mother's return to the palace."
"Isn't it a happy event for the Queen Mother to return to the palace? Are the masters afraid of the Queen Mother? ”
"Didn't you say that the Queen Mother was a very charitable person?"
"I don't know, but it seems that they have repeatedly mentioned a person, and one of the grandmothers said that the Queen Mother returned to the palace this time, and the Rakshasa didn't know if she was still following. Another grandmother said, I heard Niangniang mention that there seems to be no movement on the Bai family's side, maybe the ghost girl has died in the past eight years. ”
At the same time, in the Imperial City of Luguo's Mansion, a young girl hurriedly pushed the door in, and when she saw the woman who was looking through the books of clothes and ornaments, she immediately stepped forward, "Mother, have you inquired about it, will the slut come back?" ”
When the woman heard this, she frowned, raised her head and said unhappily, "Yun'er, how many times has my mother said that you are a beautiful girl, not a vulgar girl." ”
"Mother, I'm not in a hurry, what's going on, is that guy Baitang still by the Queen Mother's side?"
The woman's eyebrows stretched slightly, then tightened, put down the pattern, and shook her head, "The queen mother has not returned to the palace for eight years, and she has not exchanged letters with the palace people, even the queen does not know about it, the king may know something, but the king has been busy recently, and the queen can't inquire about anything." ”
"Damn it!" The girl tugged at her handkerchief and bit her lip hard, her eyes full of gloom.
The woman looked at her, and then sighed, "Even if Bai Tang comes back, even if she is still a celebrity in front of the Queen Mother, so what, you are still the concubine of the Duke of Luguo, this position is yours, no one can take it away, and you will marry the prince of Yunyang in the next year, and she can't make any big waves." ”
When the girl heard this, her face softened a little, and when she thought of her marriage, her eyes showed a smug look again, but when she thought about it, she wrinkled her eyebrows, "The Nine Emperors, if that cheap...... Bai Tang is back ......."
"So what, even if Your Majesty values the Nine Emperors no matter how much he values, but he is not only motherless, but also unorthodox princes, and has a bad relationship with several princes, if the future prince ascends the throne, the first one to get rid of is him, then even if Bai Tang can marry the Nine Emperors, but you, you must grasp the heart of the prince of Yunyang, he is the red man in front of the prince, as long as the prince ascends the throne, you will enjoy endless glory and wealth in the future, I can't say that the Luguo Mansion will rely on you, who dares to say that your position as a concubine is really not true?"
"My mother is right, she deserves to be a mother, and my daughter understands."
Indeed, even if she comes back, nothing will change, but a waste person, what to fight with her!
At sunset, on the Rongshan Ancient Road, the speed of the chariot and horse procession slowed down.
The commander of the imperial guard ran to the Panfeng carriage in the center, and arched his hand to the window, "White girl, I don't know what the Queen Mother commands?" ”
By the window, the girl who lifted the curtain raised her eyes to look at the sky, and then looked at the surrounding environment, and said to the commander of the imperial guard, "The night is about to fall, there is still some time away from the post house, it is not suitable to rush to the night, and the commander is tired to arrange to find a camp and set up camp." ”
"This ......" The commander of the imperial guard turned his head to look around, thought about it, and felt that the girl's words were also very reasonable, so he bowed his head, "Order." ”
Soon the team was reorganized and encamped.
On the Panfeng car, a girl in white who was about seventeen or eighteen years old walked out first, and then turned around and supported a woman in a sixtieth armor and carefully walked down the wooden steps.
"Imperial grandmother, Sister Tangtang, it's so beautiful here, there's a stream over there, the water is clear, and there are small fish and shrimp in it, it's fun."
Not far away, the girl who had already gotten out of the car and ran around ran over and said happily.
The girl is about eleven or twelve years old, with a delicate appearance and delicate eyebrows and eyes.
"You girl, pay attention to your identity, don't be like a crazy boy, how can you marry in the future."
"I'm not going to get married, Yuan'er has to accompany the imperial grandmother~"
"Nonsense." A few people talked and laughed and entered the tent of the center.
The night was getting thicker, the moon was in the middle of the sky, and the wind whistled by, and there seemed to be a few whimpering.
"Tang Tang, you, will you come back?"
“……”
"When will I come back, I, can I write to you?"
“……”
"Tang Tang, will you forget me?"
Listening to the little boy's reluctant words, Bai Tang raised his head slightly, but saw a silver mask.
Where was there a little boy in front of him, there was only a man in black, a silver mask with a chilling cold light, a pair of deep black eyes staring at him, thin lips moving slightly.
He said, "Bai Tang, you don't have a heart. ”
Bai Tang opened his eyes violently, and it was dark in his eyes.
Finding out that it was just a dream, I couldn't help but exhale secretly.
Then she frowned, how could she dream of something so far away, she almost forgot.
Waist tightened, looked sideways at the little girl next to her who seemed to be noisy and struggling, and then smiled helplessly, guessing that this girl has been pulling her to recall the past in recent days.
But this will be no sleep, think about it, pull away the girl's hand, gently twist the quilt, get dressed and go out of the tent.
The camp was quiet, save for the crackling of charcoal burning in the campfire.
She was seen by the guards who were on vigil.
She just waved at them and walked towards the creek not far away.
slapped his face with cold water, and finally calmed down.
Leaning back against the big tree next to him, he looked up at the moon that had risen in the air, and lost his mind slightly, until a circle of ripples suddenly rippled on the surface of the water, and a small pebble splashed and sank silently.
She subconsciously turned her head sideways, and saw that not far away, I don't know when there was an extra figure.
The other party was hidden in the night, dressed in black almost compatible with the night, but the half of the silver mask on his face glowed with a faint cold light in the faint moonlight.
