Forty-six Broken Mirrors
Since that night, there seems to be a small crack between me and Boheng, which is not painful or itchy, but it is abrasive.
At night, I stroked the empty bed on my right, fine silk slid through my fingertips, but I could no longer feel the familiar body temperature.
I asked Zhihong to secretly take the letter to Yun Zhi out, and I asked Wang Xian to help check my father's affairs. It was too strange, and I don't believe Daddy would do that.
And the peasant woman's death complaint against my father also set off a thousand waves in the court. Everyone didn't believe in this either, especially the old ministers who followed the emperor.
I didn't have to go to the court to deal with political affairs, and I realized that my life had long been filled with things big and small in Yanqi, and now it was suddenly vacant, and I was not used to it.
I have always been sick, and I don't want to see the queen mother and the jade waist slave as close as a mother and daughter. Seeing that I was sullen and locked myself up, Zhihong dragged me to Qianhong Garden, saying that there were newly cultivated flower seeds.
When the solar term arrives in midsummer, the cicadas are screaming, and I look at the Yongle Palace close to Bo Heng and still can't help but worry that it will make him rest, so I sent the palace servants to stick the cicadas.
While fanning me with the wind, Zhihong said: "Niangniang still cares about Your Majesty very much, why bother to be angry with Your Majesty?" β
I grabbed the fish food and threw it to the koi under the pond. "I just don't understand why such earth-shaking changes have happened in just three months..."
Suddenly, a blue figure turned from the cloister, and a figure came to me. "The concubine asks for the mother."
I lightly swept over the jade waist slave with a head full of beads, when she first entered the palace, she was dressed plainly and plainly, and her temperament was dusty, and now she is full of complexity, but it is a bit noisy.
However, there are many people in the palace who meet the wind and rudder, and she often enters the Yongle Palace to play music and sing to Boheng, and the people below are indispensable for filial piety.
I nodded, and got ready to leave.
"Eh, Queen Mother!" The Jade Waist Slave stopped me, and I turned around and asked what was the matter. The red lips of the jade waist slave are curved, making people feel like a spring breeze.
"The concubine is about to go to the palace of the Queen Mother, why don't you go together?"
I was about to refuse, but the jade-waisted slave grabbed my hand first, and I was stunned for a moment.
"Thanks to the mother's refusal, the concubine can enter the palace to serve, and please don't refuse."
I thought that I hadn't been to say hello for many days, saying that I was sick, and at this time, it was not good for the jade waist slave to see that I still had leisure to enjoy the flowers and was known by the queen mother.
I nodded and agreed.
In the palace of the Queen Mother, the jade waist slave sat with the Queen Mother affectionately, and the Queen Mother personally fed a piece of pastry to her mouth.
I sat on the sidelines, drinking tea boredly, and watching from the sidelines.
"Queen, I heard that your father has had an accident recently?" The Queen Mother coldly mentioned my father, who is really in the harem but "deaf and clear".
"Yes, but Erchen believes that Daddy was framed by a villain, and the truth will eventually come out." I answered truthfully.
"Yes, Queen Mother, the concubine also believes in Sun Guogong. The concubine had heard of Sun Guogong's unparalleled courage when she was a child, and she must not be that kind of person. β
I watched the soft voice of the jade waist slave speak for me, and smiled reluctantly. The Queen Mother caressed her head lovingly, and praised Yu'er for being sensible.
handed a piece of white jade cake to her mouth, but before the jade waist slave could open his mouth, he retched while pale, and he was very embarrassed when he lay on the side of the chair.
The Queen Mother patted her on the back again and again, and I saw that she was indeed very uncomfortable, so I sent Zhihong to ask the imperial doctor.
But the jade-waisted slave struggled to straighten up from retching, "It's okay, it's okay, it's okay, the concubine is fine." β
I watched as she turned a little pale and spat out some thin water. "It's hot, is it caused by gastrointestinal discomfort?"
The jade-waisted slave smoothed his chest, but two blush rose on his cheeks for no reason. Panting slightly, the corners of his eyes are shy.
"The concubine is just... It's just..."
But the Queen Mother was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, "It's just what's wrong, you said." β
The palace maid of the jade-waisted slave said: "Back to the queen mother and the queen, Concubine Yun is pregnant, and today the imperial doctor came to see it, saying that it was almost a month." β
The Queen Mother's eyes lit up, and her crow's feet wrinkled with laughter. said three good things in a row, and hurriedly sent Aunt Ji'an to invite Bo Heng to come.
Holding the hand of the jade waist slave happily rubbing, I didn't notice that I was so out of shape that the tea cup almost fell.
The jade waist slave is pregnant, but she has only been in the palace for three months... Bo Heng clearly said that he would treat her politely, and he would never exceed the thunder pool.
Now looking at the jade waist slave holding his lower abdomen shyly, his whole body exudes a gentle halo. I touched my lower abdomen with some astonishment, and a terrible guess was born in my heart.
In less than half a moment, I saw Bo Heng hurriedly coming in from the door, and he seemed to be weak and didn't look at me who was sitting next to me.
The Queen Mother was so happy that she folded Bo Heng's hand with the hand of the jade waist slave, as if the three of them were a family, which made me seem even more redundant.
"The wish of the mourning family for many years has finally come true at this moment, and the mourning family is very happy!" The Queen Mother's eyes were slightly red and she said, "I am in a trance."
"Queen, you're happy too!"
was suddenly clicked by the Queen Mother, and I came back to my senses. The hand covered by the sleeve clenched the corners of his shirt. "Yes, son, happy." I struggled to spit out the words.
After receiving a satisfactory answer, the Queen Mother nodded with satisfaction. Let Aunt Ji'an fetch all kinds of treasures and raise the baby for the jade waist slave.
Bo Heng smiled faintly and cooperated, and he didn't give me a little afterglow.
I returned to Kunning Palace, and Zhihong helped me. "Niangniang, are you okay?" I unconsciously touched the corner of my eye, and tears overflowed.
"It's okay, you go down, I want to be alone for a while." As the door squeaked shut, I finally breathed hard.
The tearing pain in my heart made my tears run wildly, and I clutched my heart and felt the coolness all over my body.
Everywhere we look, there are traces of our love. The red luan wood dresser is Bo Heng who is clumsy for me. As a result, they were drawn as two thick caterpillars, which I chased and beaten.
The collapse of the Arhat by the window is how many days and nights we have been comforting each other. Bo Heng whispered in my ear over and over again, calling my name and endless love.
At that table, it was the first time Bo Heng usually sat on the squirrel fish, who gave a thumbs up and praised it again and again, saying that he would not get tired of eating the dishes I made for the rest of his life.
Too much... Too many memories poured into my body like a tidal wave, swelling me to the point of bursting. I sobbed silently, helpless to the extreme.
"Xiao Qi, Xiao Qi, open the door." I don't know how long I cried, but Bo Heng's voice followed the sound of knocking on the door outside the door.
I dragged my weak legs and went to the basin to wash my face. When I opened the door, the sunlight poured in all of a sudden, and I couldn't open my eyes for a while.
Without saluting, I walked straight to the edge of the collapse and sat down. Bo Heng came against the light, I turned my face away, and I didn't want to say a word.
Bo Heng squatted down and shook my cold hand. "Xiao Qi, listen to me..."
"When is it?" My voice was a little hoarse, and I asked in a low voice.
Bo Heng was slightly stunned and hung his hand weakly. "That day, Lone drank too much..."
I jerked around and looked at his face full of emptiness. "Drink too much?! Is drinking too much an excuse to do something wrong, and I don't know how much you Bo Heng drinks. β
"Not to mention that a jade-waisted slave can get you drunk, even a martial artist who has been drinking heavily all year round may not have as much alcohol as you."
I looked straight into his lowered eyes, "Is it the drunk, or is that person making you drunk?" β
I questioned Bo Heng and made him angry, for many days we had a strange atmosphere, and everyone was holding their breath in their hearts.
And now that the jade waist slave is pregnant, it's not bad.
"Lone is the emperor of Yanqi, what about pampering his concubines?" Bo Heng raised his head and replied to me not to be outdone.
My heart was sad, "Yes, Your Majesty is not wrong. But at the beginning, His Majesty promised me that he would treat Tu with courtesy and not cross the thunder pool. β
I sighed deeply, "So what's it now?" β
Bo Heng pointed at me, his teeth clenched but he didn't say a word. After a few moments, the sleeve was thrown off hard.
"Since you are the mother of a nation, you must not be so jealous! That's it, I don't want to argue with you, you stay in Kunning and reflect! β
As I was about to look out the door, I rushed over and blocked his way.
"What is the queen doing?" Bo Heng looked at me with a cold face.
I reached out and took out the pleadings of Wang Xian's investigation of my father's framing for me, and handed it to Bo Heng.
On that day, the concubine never believed that her father would do such a thing. So I sent General Wang Xian and his wife to check for the palace, and sure enough, there was a problem. β
I looked at Bo Heng with empty eyes, "This is not a superb trick, and it is even a little naΓ―ve, and the concubines can't see it if they don't believe it." β
Bo Heng's eyes scanned the contents of the paper, and his face gradually became difficult to see.
"That peasant woman has actually been abused by her husband for many years, and she can't bear it for a long time, and at this time, someone came to the door and said that she could kill the man for her, as long as she was willing to frame my father."
"Then Your Majesty will definitely think, how can there be a mother who trades her child's life for glory and wealth, right? But in fact, the child's body was just stolen and replaced, and his face was scratched, and his body was similar. β
Bo Heng looked at me and still questioned. "How can you explain that woman herself was killed by a headbutt?"
I smiled faintly, "But it's also a trick for the golden cicada to get out of its shell, and it died in Dali Temple, so it should be collected by the servant." When Wang Xian arrived to lift the shroud, he saw a man. β
I slowly approached Bo Heng, "And at the same time, Yun Zhi also found the peasant woman mother and son who had harvested a lot of money and was squandering it in Linqingwei. β
Bo Heng took a step back when he heard this, his eyes wandering.
"The peasant woman was frightened, and before she could be tortured, she vomited it all away, saying that a man named Chang Er had given her money, and that Chang Er was one of the grooms of Rong Lao Guogong."
My voice trembled, and little by little, I pulled off the last bit of fig leaf. "And that long two or three days ago, he died violently! Carried out from the Rongguo Mansion. β
The atmosphere instantly dropped to freezing, and Bo Heng's eyes stared at me like an eagle. "Queen, I hope you will be cautious in your words and deeds. Do you know what you're talking about? β
My eyes were already full of tears, such a clumsy trick Yun Zhi and his wife are easy to find, I don't believe that he is as smart as Bo Heng, he will not know a trace of the inside story.
Bo Heng looked at my drooling appearance, and his heart always softened. "The queen mother just wants to weaken the power of the Sun family and prevent her relatives from being too authoritarian."
I looked at the man in front of me in disbelief, "As the saying goes, everyone has a lot of money and destroys their bones, and my father has self-denial all his life!" Why be stigmatized at this time. β
