Palace.

Yu Chijue sat in his mother's palace, waiting for her to wake up.

"King Chen, you take a sip of tea first, and I'll go and call the concubine to get up." The concubine's personal maid came in with tea.

Wei Chicheng shouted: "No, let the mother concubine have a good rest, I'll wait here for her to wake up." ”

"Okay, you can sit and wait, and the time is estimated to be the time for the concubine to get up."

"Well, you can go about something else."

Yu Chijue held the tea, skimmed the floating leaves on the water surface with the lid of the teacup, and took a sip of tea.

Since he was withdrawn from military power and became a nominal free prince, Yu Chijue rarely came to the palace, and he didn't set foot when he had nothing to do.

He didn't like the environment in the palace and felt that it was hypocritical.

The boxy palace walls, the palace gates with heavy chains.

Burying a woman's whole life.

This time I came to the palace, mainly to see his mother.

His mother was a concubine who was not favored by the first emperor, and her background was not high, so she couldn't let him stay by his side at birth.

Concubine Zhuang is a very modest woman, although she can't always let Wei Chijue be by her side, but in the short time together, she has learned a lot.

Especially to teach him how to love, how to love someone.

Yu Chijue has always wanted Concubine Zhuang to live with him all the way, and he can feel at ease when his mother is by his side.

"Why don't you wake up your mother when Jue'er comes?" Concubine Zhuang came from inside, with a gentle and kind smile on her face, even if it was the first time she saw her, people would be very willing to contact her.

"Thinking that the concubine is about to wake up, I don't want to wake you up." Yu Chijue went to help Concubine Zhuang sit on the main seat.

"How have you been doing?" Concubine Zhuang asked him, her eyes never taking her eyes off him.

Yu Chijue said: "Mother, you don't have to worry about me, I'm doing well, I don't need to manage affairs, I'm more at ease." He said seriously, "Mother, I talked to you many years ago, I really want to return to the field and live a life without conflict, but my identity does not allow it." ”

Of course Concubine Zhuang knows, "All this you do is to fulfill your wishes, the mother concubine has nothing to say, you can do it if you want to, you are an adult, many things can be seen clearly by yourself, the mother concubine has been trapped in this boxy palace wall all her life, and some things can't give you good advice, if you want to do it, do it, don't let yourself regret it." ”

The so-called "crime of bullying the king" was premeditated by Wei Chijue, but in fact, Wei Chi Cheng also knew about it.

The two of them tacitly agreed.

"Mother, do you really want to be in this palace for the rest of your life?" Yu Chijue still asked, he wanted to know why Concubine Zhuang was unwilling to follow him out to live outside.

"Jue'er, the mother concubine has already answered you, the mother concubine has been here all her life, and it will be even more uncomfortable to go outside, so it is better to be here for the rest of your life."

Concubine Zhuang actually accepted her fate, so many years have passed.

I have long lost my yearning and longing for the outside world, and I just want to live this life.

"You have a better future, and the concubines have reached this age, if it weren't for the gift of His Majesty, the concubines would have followed the emperor."

After Wei Chicheng ascended the throne, he gave a good placement to the concubines of the first emperor, probably because of the friendship that had loved and cared for him.

"Jue'er, don't worry about the concubine, the concubine is doing well in the palace, and the queen mother will not do anything to the concubine, but don't always do it against Your Majesty." Concubine Zhuang paused and said, "You know, you can't fight Your Majesty." ”

The prince and the emperor of the dynasty, mosquitoes can't beat cattle, and arms can't reach thighs.

"My son knows."

"It's time for you to find a suitable girl to marry and have a home, don't hit the wall everywhere like a ghost."

When it came to the right girl, a smile appeared on Yu Chijue's face, and Concubine Zhuang was caught inside.

"Jue'er, tell my mother honestly, do you have a favorite object?"

Wei Chijue does not deny it.

"Yes, but she seems to know but doesn't want to respond to me." At the mention of this, his heart tingled a little.

Lu Fushi knew his thoughts, but she never responded......

"Feelings, if you can't rush it, you have to be patient and wait."

"Well, my son knows."

It's just that some feelings don't come from waiting.

——

Lu Fushi was lying on the bed of Longyin Palace, and what lingered in her mind was the scene in her dream.

"Girl, why haven't you fallen asleep yet?" A-Ning came in and pinched two lamps, thinking about tucking the quilt for her, but she didn't expect that she hadn't slept yet.

"I can't sleep if I'm not sleepy." Lu Fushi sat up from the bed, and she asked A-Ning, "How many years have you been in the palace?" ”

A-Ning said: "It's been more than ten years, from entering the palace at the age of seven or eight to the present. ”

"Didn't you say that when the time comes, you will send a group of palace maids out of the palace to get married? It's the same as the show girl who wasn't chosen. ”

Ah Ning sighed and said, "Girl, I am in a different situation from those palace maids. ”

"How is it different?"

"I serve in front of the emperor, the palace people in front of the palace are all selected by thousands of people, and they are rarely replaced, and after becoming a palace maid in front of the emperor, they basically wait until the new emperor ascends the throne to leave or die early."

"Do you miss your family?"

"I can go out to visit my family twice a year, and almost all of my family members have passed away, so I don't have to go out when my brother marries."

Listening to what A-Ning said, Lu Fushi wanted to comfort her, but she couldn't say anything good.

She is able to speak reasonably, and when it comes to comforting people, she immediately lacks words.

"You've been in the palace for more than ten years, how come you don't know that the poppy is a cursed flower?"

A-Ning told her: "I went viral in the first few years when I entered the palace, and then I was suppressed, the queen mother is now the queen mother, and she does not allow the palace people to mention this matter." Many of the people mentioned were killed, or died for no reason, and there was a rumor in the palace for a while, these dead palace people were cursed to death, and it was also rumored that the queen mother did it. Back ......"

She stopped suddenly, and Lu Fushi frowned, "What's going on?" "It's rude to say half of the hanging.

Later, a palace maid who followed the queen died in the resting place, holding a withered poppy in her hand, she died miserably, bleeding to death, and she didn't even dare to go to the autopsy, and was finally buried hastily. Later, no one in the palace dared to mention the poppy and the palace maid who died miserably. ”

"You mean to say that many people have never seen a poppy?"

A-Ning nodded, "Yes, none of us have ever seen it, and when Ayu handed it to you, we didn't recognize it as the Cursed Flower." ”

Lu Fushi was deeply puzzled, Ah Ning's qualifications are deeper than Ah Zhu Ayu, how could Ah Yu get a poppy beauty that Ah Ning had never seen?

The Ministry of Internal Affairs should also know that it can't be done, how can it be made out of one, could it be that someone did it on purpose?
