Chapter 11: Purple Creek
In the autumn season, it is no longer hot.
It was a wonderful day, with a clear sky and a light breeze.
Touching his slightly bulging lower abdomen, he was very happy.
The backyard of the palace is full of chrysanthemums, and this is the first time in my life that I have seen so many different varieties of fine chrysanthemums.
I couldn't help but go back and forth between the chrysanthemums, which grew in clusters and densely packed together. Listening to Qingqing, when the Yuchu Palace was still the queen's bedroom, every year when the chrysanthemums were in full bloom, the queen would invite the harem concubines to enjoy the chrysanthemums together.
It's just that now the queen's bedroom has been changed to Fengyang Palace, it's a pity that these chrysanthemums are gone.
"I've heard a long time ago that Miss Song is back, but this palace can't come to chat a few words because of her ill health, it's really a sin!" Zixi didn't know when she had already walked to the corridor next to the courtyard, followed by a palace maid, her gorgeous dress and the golden step and bead hairpin on her temples were very conspicuous. I suddenly remembered what Siyu said, she is no longer a palace maid, but Zhuangzi's Purple Lady.
Siyu and Qingqing glanced at each other, and then bowed slightly, "Slave and maid, please say hello to Mrs." ”
When I heard this, I hurriedly followed the two of them to salute her, but I didn't know how to call myself, but fortunately I said directly: "Hello madam!" ”
The palace maid beside her had a bad face, and she shouted sternly: "Presumptuous! How dare you be so rude in front of your lady! ”
I looked at the palace maid expressionlessly, and asked her lightly, "Then what do you think I should do to be polite?" ”
"Didn't you see what Siyu and Qingqing did? Still need to ask me? She glanced at me disdainfully.
I smiled, "You mean you want me to call myself a slave?" This is really strange, I'm not a palace maid, why do I call myself a slave. ”
The palace maid's face was even more displeased, "The emperor didn't give you any name, of course you are not as good as the palace maid." I don't know where the lowly girl came from, and I don't know whose wild seed she is pregnant, and she is also worthy of living in the palace. ”
Her words immediately annoyed me, rushed over and slapped her, the voice was terrifyingly loud, "You are presumptuous!" A palace maid, what qualifications does she have to accuse others! ”
"Song Liu!" Zixi scolded me, "This palace just called you Miss Song, don't get carried away." ”
I looked at her calmly, "Your palace maid should be taught." ”
She stared sideways, very displeased, "The palace maid of this palace, this palace will naturally discipline you, but it will not be your turn." ”
If I were still the same person I used to be, maybe I would laugh at it today, but I am no longer the Song Liu who doesn't ask about the world and sees everything as ordinary. When a woman enters the harem, all those simple kindnesses will slowly disappear, Yulan, isn't it just a column? Although Zixi once had a friendship with me, it could only be regarded as an extremely ordinary friendship. Even if she is now the Purple Lady who is loved by thousands of people, so what. I used to be the only concubine in Minguo.
The child in my womb is the prince of the Emperor of Minguo, the father and son of me and Liuyun, how can I let a girl be said to be a wild seed.
Look at how arrogant a palace maid is, you can know how virtuous her master is, this Zixi is probably not much better, at best, it is just according to Zhuangzi's favor.
"Madame's palace maid is disrespectful, but Madame ignores it, then I will teach Madame a lesson, so as not to lose Madame's face in front of outsiders in the future." I said coldly.
Zixi trembled with anger, and the palace maid touched the cheek that had just been slapped by me, and said aggrievedly: "Madam, you have to be the master of Xiruo!" ”
"Shut up Hongu!" Zixi scolded angrily, looked at me again, changed Fang Cai's face, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you in the past few years, Song Liu is really different." At the beginning, you didn't say goodbye, which made Bengong very worried, but now that I see you, I'm relieved. ”
I hesitated, but smiled back at her, "I haven't seen you for many years, and Madame is not the same." ”
She raised her eyes and looked at the sky, "The weather is good today, I don't know if Song Liu appreciates his face, accompany the palace to the imperial garden for a walk!" ”
I thought for a while, although I felt inappropriate in my heart, but it was not easy to refuse, Siyu hurriedly spoke: "The emperor is going to pass through the Yu Palace, if Miss Song is not here, it will be bad." ”
Zixi handed Siyu a look, "The emperor is really in a good mood, but when the palace went to Qingzhang Palace this morning to ask for peace, it was clear that there were servants who returned to the palace, saying that the emperor had been dealing with the assassination in Jianyu Palace recently, and even the queen mother's invitation was left behind, why did he only remember this Yu Palace?" ”
I glanced at Siyu, looked at Zixi again, and said lightly: "Siyu is sympathetic to me because I am pregnant and inconvenient to go, but I don't know how to return to my wife, so I made it up casually, don't go to my heart, Madame, I will accompany my wife." ”
"Alas! Siyu is really like a sister to you! Let this palace be envied. She raised her eyebrows and said lightly.
Qingqing and Siyu walked over and paused behind me, Zixi glanced at the two of them, "You two are still afraid that this palace will harm Song Liu, so you look nervous." ”
I looked back at them and smiled slightly, "Don't follow me, why don't you just go to the Imperial Garden and come back soon." Besides, I was nameless and had no share, and I was followed by two palace maids, and I was really criticized. ”
Qingqing glanced at Zixi and said very unkindly: "Madam, Miss Song is pregnant, please take more care of her, don't let the girl fall and touch it, otherwise, the emperor will blame it, and no one can afford it." ”
Zixi closed her eyes in agreement, and I followed her to the Imperial Garden.
It was a coincidence that at the gate of the palace, he met Zhuangzi who came to him.
Seeing Zhuangzi, Zixi smiled, quickly stepped forward to take Zhuangzi's arm, and said coquettishly: "Your Majesty, aren't you in Jianyu Palace?" ”
Zhuangzi glanced at her, then looked at me again, "Where are you going?" ”
She smiled even more like a flower, "Your Majesty, the concubine hasn't seen Song Liu for many years, so I specially came over today to invite her to enjoy the chrysanthemums in the imperial garden with me." ”
"Chrysanthemum?" Zhuangzi frowned slightly, "The backyard of the Yu Palace is full of chrysanthemums, and they are all the best chrysanthemums in the palace, why do you need to go to the Imperial Garden again?" When the words fell, Zhuangzi immediately showed displeasure, and his tone was no longer gentle, "You seem to have forgotten my words, except for me, no idlers are allowed to enter the Yuchu Palace!" ”
Zixi's face instantly darkened a lot, and he immediately knelt down, "Your Majesty, the concubine has been negligent, please ask the emperor to condemn you." ”
Zhuangzi ignored it, and just said coldly: "Today, I just handled the assassination not long ago, and I want to go out for a walk to relieve my sulkness, you are usually not in good health, so you can stay in the palace to recuperate, if it's okay, go back to the palace!" ”
At first glance, when I heard him say that the matter was handled well, I couldn't help but be shocked, and hurriedly asked him: "How did the emperor handle it?" ”
He walked up to me and took my hand, "Let's go to the palace and talk." Then he and I entered the Yoga Palace.
In the main hall, he took a sip of a dragon well before he spoke: "I have investigated this matter clearly, and it is not the work of the Emperor of Min, but the strategy of the surrounding small countries. Rong Chenxuan is such a shrewd person, how could he send a killer to kill me. Those small countries that are about to move, it seems that I really want to give them ** color to see. ”
I let out a long sigh of relief, "I'm relieved that you can think like that." If the army is really sent to the country, it is the innocent people who suffer. It is good to be able to be peaceful, and nature is peaceful. ”
"I'm afraid that I think so, Rong Chenxuan doesn't think so, he is much more ambitious than his father. Moreover, he has always had the will to unify the world, but he has only been on the throne for four years, and his foundation is not very stable, so he does not dare to send troops easily. He smiled lightly, and there was a look on his face that he was ignoring everything.
My heart tightened, and I replied to him, "It's only been five years since you ascended the throne." ”
He raised his eyes to look at me and smiled, "But I have already mastered all the military power, even if Rong Chenxuan is the same as me, but he went on an expedition to Mobei, solved the matter of the king of Ding'an, eradicated the remaining party, and lost a lot of financial resources and troops. ”
My hand trembled, and half of the cup of tea in my hand spilled out, "Even so, you can't implicate innocent people." That kind of bloody battlefield, countless dead souls, it's scary to think about. ”
He just looked stunned, paused and said: "When he heard that his concubine Chen was missing, he was angry in the court, and now he is sending people everywhere to look for him." I don't know what kind of character Concubine Chen is, which can make him, who has always been calm, lose his previous calm. ”
Suddenly startled, I looked at Zhuangzi incredulously, and I couldn't withdraw my gaze for a long time.
"Presumably that Concubine Chen has the appearance of a country and a city!" He smiled, without a trace of emotion, looked at me and pondered for a moment, and then continued: "Probably like you, she is a woman who yearns for a free life, otherwise, how could she leave the palace that can give her a lifetime of wealth and glory." ”
I bowed my eyebrows and didn't answer.
At night, the moon is like a hook, and it is exceptionally bright.
I suddenly wanted to drink sour plum soup, but there were no materials to make sour plum soup in Yuyu Palace today, so I went to the dining hall with Siyu to get it, anyway, I was bored and wanted to go out for a walk, and there were few people at night, and I wouldn't meet anyone.
On the way back, I suddenly heard the woman's shouting, intermittently, vaguely not very clear, Siyu and I were both startled. The night in the palace was very quiet, and I couldn't help but be a little scared.
Siyu pulled me, "Let's go!" The voice sounded weird. ”
I ignored her, but listened quietly for a while. When he heard the content of the voice clearly, his face flashed with surprise, "Someone is shouting for help!" ”
Siyu's body trembled, and she trembled: "Song Liu, let's go back!" In the middle of the night, who will shout for help! ”
I shook my head, "It's true that there's a woman's cry for help, let's go take a look." When he had finished speaking, he went in the direction where the sound had come from.
Siyu was reluctant, but she followed me.
Bypassing the promenade and rockery of the Imperial Garden, the voice became clearer and clearer, Siyu suddenly shouted, pointed to a pond not far in front, and said in a panic: "Someone has fallen into the water." ”
Only then did I see clearly that there was indeed a figure in the pond struggling desperately, calling for help, and his hands were still beating the water, Siyu hurriedly called, "Someone! Someone fell overboard..."
But now the imperial garden is dark and there is no one around, I was anxious, looked around, saw a wooden stick in the grass, didn't care about anything else, picked it up and ran to the pond.
Siyu followed, and I looked back at her and said, "Don't follow, go find someone." She panicked, turned around and ran back.
At the edge of the pond, I handed the wooden stick to the woman who had fallen into the water, and said calmly: "Don't be afraid, you grab the wooden stick first, and I'll pull you up..."
The woman was probably so frightened that she didn't react for a long time, and I repeated it aloud, and then she stretched out her hand and touched it around for a while, before she grasped the stick tightly.
Just as I was about to exert myself, the woman suddenly pulled the stick, and the soles of my feet slipped down, and my body could not be steady, and I fell into the pond with a "poof".
All my brain is thinking about children at this moment, although the taste of choking water makes me very uncomfortable, and I can't even shout for help. But he whispered over and over again, "Child... My child..."
"Song Liu!" There was an anxious cry from Siyu in her ears, and she actually forgot that she was also afraid of water, so she jumped off without hesitation.
Then, I only heard a few "pops" one after another, and my body seemed to be lifted up and swam to the shore.
Panting and crawling ashore, more than a dozen eunuchs and palace maids poured up to live in us, hurriedly helped me and Siyu up, and while instructing others to go to the emperor, while urging to ask for the imperial doctor.
