Chapter Seven: The Queen Mother's Majesty (2)
"Yan'er, you don't have to intercede for her." The Queen Mother was in anger, but her tone towards Su Jinyan was very kind.
"Queen Mother, the concubine is not trying to intercede for Mrs. Hua Rui. It is a matter of course for the concubine to be punished by the queen mother, but I just think it seems inappropriate to confine her in the Qinghe Palace......"
What does she want to do?
"Then according to you, where is it appropriate to keep her in place?" The Queen Mother looked inquiring, thought for a while and said: "Although she didn't serve food properly and caused Chang'er to get sick, she didn't sin to be banned in Fangyuan......"
Forbidden Fangyuan, at first glance, when I hear these three words, I am like five thunderbolts, and I will be thrown into the cold palace for such a trivial matter?
"No, Queen Mother. The emperor favors Mrs. Hua Rui, although Mrs. has the mistake of serving improper meals, but those who don't know are not guilty, even if there is a mistake, it is the next person who does not do things properly. Today, it is understandable that the Queen Mother wants to grounded her, but if the emperor has a dispute with the Queen Mother because of this, it will damage the relationship between mother and son, and Qinghe Palace is the place where the Queen Mother lives, and it is not conducive to the Queen Mother's rest. Therefore, I wanted to ask the Queen Mother to let Mrs. Hua Rui come to my Feiluan Pavilion to live for a few days, and the emperor said that he was going to help me copy the "Huayan Sutra", but in fact, it was grounded for reflection...... I don't know, what does the Queen Mother think? Su Jinyan said very gently and gently, but I was shocked when I listened to it, she, why did she ask me to go to her residence?
"Well, it's still Yan'er thoughtful." The Queen Mother nodded and said, "Then it's up to you." Concubine Xu, from today onwards, you will move to Feiluan Pavilion, copy Buddhist scriptures with Su Chongyi every day, and you will not be allowed to enter and leave without my will, let alone see the emperor, have you heard? "I listened dumbly, and fell to my knees, so that I was grounded? Bao Yuan, if Bao Yuan knows......
"Queen Mother, what did the emperor say?" Jingyi looked at me worriedly and interjected.
"The emperor will go to mourn his family and say, he has been too nonsense recently, can't he even listen to my mother's words? Su Jin, you go and inform the court bureau that she has received Concubine Xu's green head sign, and she should copy the scriptures quietly, and it is not appropriate to wait for the emperor. The Queen Mother said, her eyes looking straight at me.
At this moment, my heart is like being wrapped in cold seawater, and there is only one voice swirling in my heart: Baoyuan, Baoyuan, where are you? Where are you? In this bottomless palace, I can't see you, what should I do, what should I do?
The Queen Mother said again: "Yan'er, the emperor's temperament, I don't guarantee that he will run to your Feiluan Pavilion to mess around." If he comes, you don't allow him to see Concubine Xu, do you hear? ”
"Yes, the concubine understands." Su Jinyan saluted and said: "After a while, the emperor and the court will come to ask for peace, if they bump into it, it will not be good, and the concubine will take Mrs. Hua Rui back first." As he spoke, he stepped forward to help me.
Her hands were so cold, just like her usual expression in front of people, I was like a puppet and let her pull her towards the door, but when I went out, I saw Li Yanniang standing by the door, with a thin smile on the corner of her mouth: "Yo, Su Chongyi is still smart, so the emperor will not run to your residence twice in three days, and I have to admire you when I invite pets to this one......
Su Jinyan didn't look at her, just turned sideways and gave a slight salute, and continued to help me walk forward. Li Yanniang crooked her mouth and sneered: "Don't get complacent too early, be careful to lift a stone and hit yourself in the foot." As he spoke, he threw down the curtain and walked into the temple.
I looked at Su Jinyan walking beside me, she couldn't see joy and anger on her face, her porcelain white and delicate face had a rare indifference in ordinary women, she walked quietly, and whispered to me to be careful when I passed the door......
Such a woman, would she really use me to invite favor to Bao Yuan as Li Yanniang said? If not, then why did she suggest to the Queen Mother that I live in her Feiluan Pavilion, what was she thinking? What exactly does she want?
Fortunately, the Empress Dowager did not punish Zhiqiu again, and when I arrived at the Feiluan Pavilion, she and Ming'er also arrived. Seeing that her face was particularly red and swollen, I was so sad and sorry, it turned out that if I was not careful in this palace, I would hurt others because of myself.
Seeing this, Su Jinyan instructed the palace maid to listen to the rain and get the wound medicine, and I insisted on helping Zhiqiu put it on with my own hands, and then instructed Ming'er to send her to rest.
Feiluan Pavilion is built near the water, winged by the Dragon Leap Pond, is a small single courtyard pavilion, with a total of two floors. Su Jinyan's bedroom is on the second floor on the east wing, and now she instructed the inner supervisor and the palace people to clean up the middle main room on the second floor for me to live in, and the west wing is the study, which is full of Buddhist scriptures.
I sat under the window and watched the palace people busy, feeling all kinds of grief and grievances in my heart, but I didn't want to cry in front of people, so I forbeared. After a while, the inner eunuch and the palace people retreated, Su Jinyan walked in with the stacked scripture book in both hands, she put the book in my hand and said: "When the queen mother of this "Huayan Sutra" wants to escape the summer and leave the palace, she will take it to the other Ciyuan to worship the three treasures, so it needs to be copied before the eighth day of the sixth month, and I also ask my wife to help." ”
I looked at the Buddhist scriptures in my hand and was stunned, but I heard Su Jinyan whisper in my ear again: "Buddhism can calm the mind and generate wisdom, and now the situation is very serious, don't suffer yourself." "After saying that, he gave me a salute and went away.
Holding the pen in my hand, I opened the Buddhist scriptures, but when I saw "if I smelled", tears were like springs, and the thick ink on the tip of the pen dripped on the paper, a little like tears, I dropped the pen and cried on the table......
After crying for a while, Fang felt more comfortable in his heart, and raised his head to wipe away his tears. Thinking that crying and crying was not a way, and it made people laugh, he told Ming'er to re-grind and lay the paper, calm down, and raise the pen to start copying the scriptures.
I didn't write for a long time, but I could hear the noise downstairs. It's Bao Yuan, I stood up excitedly, and I was about to run out, but I didn't want the door to be locked...... Su Jinyan's calm and meticulous voice came from afar: "The emperor forgives the sins, and the queen mother has a decree that Mrs. Hua Rui will help the concubines copy the scriptures in Feiluan Pavilion." ”
"If you copy the scriptures, you can copy the scriptures, and you can copy them in the Chongguang Palace......" Bao Yuan's voice sounded faintly angry.
"Back to the emperor, this scripture is the Queen Mother's vow to worship the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas of the Compassion Academy, in order to show the sincerity of the Three Treasures, the Queen Mother specially issued a strict decree, the person who copies the scriptures should bathe and fast, away from worldly things, so ......" Su Jinyan's tone was calm and calm.
"How can this be reasonable...... Bao Yuan didn't seem to dare to disobey the will of the Queen Mother, "Rui'er, Rui'er...... You come out and let me see. He called out to me.
I pulled the deadbolt with both hands, tears flowed down my face and into my mouth, bitter and astringent, because of the excessive force, the little fingernails were broken, and the pain in my heart was drilled. Ming'er was anxious, hugged my waist, and cried and persuaded: "Sister, sister...... Don't be like this, don't be like this...... "My heart hurts so much, it hurts as if I'm about to die."
"The Queen Mother drove to ......"
"Your Majesty!" The queen mother's stern voice came, "Go back to Qinghe Palace with the mourning family." ”
"Queen Mother"
"Don't you even listen to your mother's words?" The Queen Mother raised her voice.
After a moment of silence, Su Jinyan's voice came, "Congratulations to the Queen Mother, Congratulations to the Emperor......" The outside of the house gradually quieted down. He's gone, he's gone...... I snuggled softly against the door, only to feel as if the whole person was about to suffocate, and my heart hurt so much that my back throbbed.
Bao Yuan left, and never came again, I sat at the table silently copying Buddhist scriptures, no matter who came, I didn't speak or look up.
Lunch was delivered, and it was carried out as it was, Ming'er was so anxious that she could only cry, and Zhiqiu sighed behind her.
The dinner was sent by Su Jinyan herself, she silently snatched the pen from my hand, pulled me to the table and sat down, and brought me a bowl of porridge with her own hands, and said: "Niangniang doesn't care about herself, but also thinks about the emperor, if the queen mother knows that you are on a hunger strike, I am afraid that there will be trouble again." With that, he got up and left.
I mechanically picked up the bowl and drank it slowly, Ming'er wiped my tears while picking up some side dishes for me and put them in the bowl, I swallowed them all in despair, I only felt bitter in my mouth, and I didn't know if it was my tears or porridge that I was eating!
In the evening, the court supervised the announcement, lit the lantern to welcome the fairy palace, and the emperor summoned Han Zhaorong to sleep...... Somewhere in my heart collapsed and shattered with a "bang". He, and others. How did I forget......
On the second day, he did not come, and the emperor stayed overnight in Yingxian Palace......
On the third day, the emperor stayed overnight in Yingxian Palace......
I'm angry, I hate ...... This deep palace
The tears seem to have dried up, and they are no more.
I went crazy all day and copied the scriptures without sleep, listening to anyone's advice.
Su Jinyan didn't persuade me once, but when it was time to eat, she would come and snatch the pen from my hand, and then instruct the palace maid to carry the meal to me. If I didn't eat, she would bring everyone to her knees before me with the food until I had eaten.
