283: Concubine heart
Zhang Yanqi sat on the simple wooden couch, straightened her back, raised her head to look at the visitor, and exhaled, "Although it is both expected and unexpected." I still have to say, I really didn't expect: - it's you. β
The woman gently placed the green bamboo mulberry lantern in her hand on the stone table in the room, raised her head, looked at Zhang Yan and smiled slightly, but she was twenty-five or sixteen years old, her body was long and jade, the blue and blue skirt of the same color was close to her body, and the long belt hung down from her waist, tactfully and slender, and the three-color beaded jade hairpin on the sideburns shook slightly, and she called, "Queen Mother," it was none other than Ding Qizi of the Zengcheng Palace.
"Before," Ding Yan smiled and groaned, "I never dreamed that I would meet the queen mother in this place at this time." The reserved gaze casually swept over Zhang Yan who was sitting on the wooden couch in the room:
The winter is getting deeper, and the underground is much colder than the fire burning in the palace. The people behind the plot put Zhang Yan under house arrest here, but they didn't intend to freeze her to death just like that, and they also ordered the dumb girl to send down a set of winter clothes. But naturally different from the gorgeous and heavy of the queen's jacket, it is just an ordinary plain jacket, which looks a little old, and now it is draped on Zhang Yan's thin body, coupled with Zhang Yan's pale face caused by restlessness for many days, which makes the country look like Zhang Yan, and now it looks a little depressed.
- Empress Zhang in the Jiaofang Palace, who has always been high, has such a time, sitting on the simple wooden couch in the open room in embarrassment, compared with herself standing on the side calmly, it seems that she is also half a head shorter.
Ding Yan was slightly complacent in his heart, and a faint smile appeared on his lips, "Have you ever thought that our queen mother would have such a day?" β
Zhang Yan lowered her eyes and said lightly, "I never think about bad things." β
Choked.
Before coming down to the basement, she had thought about it too. This woman has been smooth and glorious for half her life, and suddenly fell when she spent the most good moon and had no worries, and now she is alone, life and death are uncertain, and her future is unknown, what should she be? Is it panic and overwhelmed, or is it endless crying? She has thought of countless scenarios, but she never thought that Zhang Yan would fall to this point now. It can still be light and light.
The unexpected situation made her a little caught off guard for a moment. However, she quickly controlled her emotions and approached Zhang Yan. The voice smiled quietly,
"Does the Queen know where you are now?"
Zhang Yan smiled slightly, "I know a little bit." Originally, I wasn't sure exactly where it was, but now I've met Ding Qizi. And you know. β
"This is the house where the seventh son lives, isn't it?"
"How do you know?"
An uncontrollable look of surprise flashed on Ding Yan's face, "It's too ...... The man clearly said that there would not be many people who knew about this tunnel except for her and the craftsman who did it at the beginning. β
And so it was.
Zhang Yan closed her eyes,
Although I have vaguely guessed it in my heart. But it was confirmed from Ding Yan's mouth that for a moment, Zhang Yan still felt like her heart was dead.
Mother-in-law.
mother-in-law
I still remember the distant, happy and sincere friendship between grandparents and grandchildren in the Changle Pepper Room, but you have already been able to let go. Empress Dowager Lu is worthy of being a woman in history who has ruled the whole of China for eight years as a heroine, and feelings are such a useless thing. Once the trade-offs are chosen, they are simply discarded. didn't drag the mud and water at all, only she was still trapped in the original love, hesitating and hesitating, and she didn't have a queen's wrist. But I can't believe that since you hate me so much, you want to get rid of me if you are trying to get rid of me.
Zhang Yan suddenly remembered the former young emperor in history. The child who should have existed, but was designed and eliminated by himself and Wang Long. If he hadn't come to this time and space, and everything would have developed according to the original historical context, he would have been entrusted to Zhang Yan's name, and after being the emperor for a few years, he would find out his life experience, and then say the words "Desire Blade", and was imprisoned in Yongxiang by Empress Lu, starving to death.
When he was in Yongxiang, was he in the same mood as he is now?
The water in her eyes fell, she desperately held back, straightened her waist more and more in front of Ding Yan, and held the last strand of strength, "Among these two palaces, there are very few that I don't know at all." It's like - I don't know how Ding Qizi joined forces with Empress Dowager Lu of Changle Palace. β
"Look at what the queen said,"
Ding Yan pursed his lips and smiled, already hiding his out-of-control emotions in an instant, "Who said that it was the Queen Mother who did it?" Among these two palaces, who doesn't know that the Queen Mother is Niangniang's grandmother, and she loves Niangniang more than His Majesty. The mother said this, but it will make the Queen Mother sad! β
She said it mellowly, but Zhang Yan's heart suddenly moved, and a wonderful feeling made her cognitive, and she didn't care about Ding Yan, and shouted, "Grandma, grandma, where are you?" "I got up and ran in the direction of the stairs at the entrance of the stone room, and I tripped over the chains on my feet, and fell down hard, and fell on the cold stone ground, my hands and feet were in hot pain, and I knelt down with all my might, still raising my jaws and calling,
"Grandma, Ah Yan knows you're here. I don't believe in your cruelty. "Keep your eyes wide open, and look in the direction where the stone chamber door is open.
It was silent, as if the beast in a black hole had opened its fangs and wanted to devour everything that had been sent.
"I don't believe it......" Zhang Yan shook her head wildly, tears pouring down on her face, "You really want to deal with me, you have to make it clear to me face to face and give me an explanation." I'm not convinced by that. "His face was already full of tears.
There was no answer in the room and outside, and for a while, only her sobbing sobs remained in the air, silently, leaving a strong fragrance in the air, like a rose in the night.
Ding Yan stood behind her, looking at her pain, only to feel that her hands under the wide sleeves trembled slightly, and said sharply, "The queen feels that she is not convinced by the current situation, and has she ever asked others if she is convinced?" βββ
can do the position of the seventh son, and after Zhao Jie and Wang Long have retired one after another, they still stay in the Weiyang Palace, although Ding Yan's holy favor is not as good as Zhao and Wang, she is also a rare beauty, a blue skirt outlines the slender body, green silk curls, elegant and moving. Now glaring at Zhang Yan. The gentle complexion is rendered with anger and is a bit bright and compelling,
"Although you are the queen of the middle palace that Your Majesty is marrying, the dozen or so young envoys of seven sons who live in the court today are also raised by their parents. Before you married into Weiyang Palace, we already served Your Majesty. Before, you were proud of the spring breeze in the pepper room, but did you ever remember the bitterness and helplessness of our concubines in the court? You are the queen of the middle palace, your status is noble, but you have great ability, so it doesn't matter if Your Majesty spoils you more. After all, who of us can compare to you? But you actually dominated Your Majesty and didn't let him out of your Jiaofang Palace, did you want to drive us to a dead end? β
Zhang Yan wiped the tears on her face. A pair of eyes became clearer and colder because of the tears, "So, you and the Queen Mother did it to me?" β
"How,"
Ding Yan looked at her and said with a faint smile.
Since she met Queen Zhang in this basement, she has not fought for the upper hand, and now she seems to have finally found an advantage in front of Zhang Yan, but she has calmed down, with a kind of leisurely tiger fighting rabbits.
"Can't you?"
Her eyes lit up. The righteous indignation in his chest was like a sword out of the sheath, shooting out of his eyes and stabbing directly at Zhang Yan.
"As Your Majesty's Empress of the Middle Palace, you should know that Your Majesty is now in his thirties, but there is only one son under his knees, how inappropriate it is, you will not know it. Since you yourself can't give birth to a prince for a while. But is it too selfish to refuse to let His Majesty spoil the concubines? When you fell asleep laughing and laughing on his arm in the temple of Jiaofang. But I also know that there are more than a dozen women in the court who can't sleep after drinking and crying. β
Her emotions were so intense that her body trembled as she spoke. Zhang Yan looked at such a Ding Yan with a strange gaze. Ding Qizi of the Zengcheng Hall has always been gentle, but now he is suddenly fierce, and there is also a dazzling brilliance. Bathed in such light, she hesitated slightly, and said, "You ......" but swallowed what she wanted to say:
You...... I also like Liu Ying, right?
Although she is the wife and concubine of the same man, she actually has not much contact with Ding Yan. After returning to Weiyang Palace, he made peace with Liu Yingqin, and he was even more reluctant to see these concubines to provoke his eyes, except for the first year of the year and the first and fifteenth days of each month, so as to avoid their greetings. The last time I saw Ding Yan, it was when I ordered the wife of Empress Jin He in the first ceremony of the sixth year of the Zhongyuan Dynasty. The impression of Ding Yan has always been a calm and prudent woman, and she has never seen Ding Yan so emotional.
said that it was for all the concubines in the court, but the most important thing for her was herself.
Ding Yan is in love with Liu Ying.
Realizing this fact, a sense of absurdity suddenly rose in her heart.
Before that, she had been grinding with Liu Ying's ears and temples, and she always knew that he had other women, and the meaning of these women in the court to her was that they were the original sin that she had to bear in love. But other than that, she doesn't feel like she's saddled with the responsibility of ruining their love. Zhao Jie and Wang Long said that what they tried to find in Liu Ying was affection, but more * and power. Another example is Mu Xi, who seems to be infatuated, but because he has never really gotten along with Liu Ying, he is also a little confused.
It wasn't until she faced Ding Yan's fierce accusations that she realized that among these women who were silently waiting for Liu Ying in the court, there were also people who didn't want anything, but simply loved Liu Ying.
That man is the husband of the two of them, and to this day, she loves Liu Ying deeply and has never regretted it. Dante is in love with her husband, how can she say that she has done something wrong?
It's just this damn era, this monogamous marriage system.
However, Ding Yan is in love with her husband.
Zhang Yan raised her head and looked at Ding Yan with extremely serious eyes. She had never realized so much at this moment that the woman in front of her was loving her husband with another sad and passionate mood.
Obviously, at this time, she is still in prison, and her future is uncertain, I don't know if there is a chance to return to Liu Ying. But the sensibility of life remains, and it is very complicated. There seems to be some soreness, and there is some slight pain. For a while, two women, in this small and empty basement, sat and stood together, looking at each other silently. The gap between time and space identity disappears in an instant.
His thoughts were flashing, but in an instant, Ding Yan looked at Zhang Yan and suddenly asked,
"Empress Zhang, I want to ask you a question."
There was no wind in the basement, and at this moment, the candlelight of the honey candle burning fiercely on the stone table suddenly jumped, like a wisp of heart fire that could not be discharged. She said slowly, "Six years ago,ββ it was the seventh year of the previous century, and the Huns invaded. Where were you when the county magistrate was seriously ill? In the end, as if there were a thousand words, they pressed between their tongues and slowly spit them out.
Zhang Yan was slightly surprised, raised her head, and a pair of bright eyes looked extremely enchanting and bright in the dim sky of the basement, "Why do you suddenly want to ask this?" β
Ding Yan ignored her question, put his hands in his sleeves, and walked a few steps in the basement. The voice was deep and dreamy, "The Weiyang Palace back then was really chaotic!" β
"The Xiongnu in the north entered the Kou, and the county officials fell ill in a moment of anger in Ganquan Palace. Du couldn't afford to be sick and was sent back to Jiaofang Hall to recuperate. In the Changle Palace, the Empress Dowager Lu was in charge, and soon the eldest son of the emperor was crowned king, and Yuan Meiren was newly ,ββ"
She looked up. A pair of eyes stared at Zhang Yan, "At that time, the people in the palace were panicked, and some people even whispered in private that the county officials were afraid that if they didn't work, the emperor's eldest son Liu Shan was about to ascend the throne." The beauty Yuan Luo will also become the new queen mother of the Han Dynasty. I didn't believe it, I suspected that the county official was not in the Weiyang Palace at all, but my status was low. Don't say that you can see the county officials, and you can't even get close to the Jiaofang Hall at that time. β
She turned her head slightly sideways to look at Zhang Yan.
After all, this period of imprisonment damaged Zhang Yan somewhat, she leaned on the stone wall, her clothes were old, and her expression was slightly haggard. But even in such a situation. is down, and still can't hide the qualifications of the country. has a beautiful face, is born with a romantic relationship, and even looks like a woman who feels fascinated, let alone a man? And both youth, and the emperor has a deep affection, after several tosses and turns to be together, no wonder the emperor is so favored by her, since the seventh year of the previous century, after Empress Zhang gave birth to the eldest princess, the emperor's whereabouts in the harem have not left her Jiaofang Palace.
"But, I'd love to ask you," her voice was faint, as clear as gold and jade, with a hint of coolness, "At that time, was Empress Zhang, who was said to be serving in the Jiaofang Palace, really in the Weiyang Palace?" β
She lowered her eyes, her hands hung down in her sleeves, and she clasped them slightly, looking relaxed.
Zhang Yan thought that such a woman, proud and intelligent, would have to bear more pain. But for them, even if it is painful, they must be truthful, and they will never accept the falsehood of peace.
It's also a sign of respect for her.
Therefore, she lowered her eyes and replied softly,
"It's not."
"At that time, I was in the Northlands."
"Northland?" Ding Yan was stunned and repeated, looking a little at a loss, "How come?" β
But she is also an extremely smart woman after all, and she has already figured out all the tricks. Suddenly, a sense of sadness came up from the bottom of my heart, and I giggled and bent down, "I see, I see." β
"It turns out,"
Since he loves you so muchβ
He loves you, so much that even if you have left the palace, he will block all the news for you, so that you have a way back; He loves you, he loves you, and he would rather know the danger of the Northland, and go there in person, just to bring you back; He loves you, so much that he almost lost his life for you, and he has no regrets at all, and he doesn't point a finger at him.
You got married in the Weiyang Palace, got married in the Northland, and after suffering, your feelings became more and more pure and beautiful, but what about me?
Ding Yan only felt a pain in his heart, and he could barely stand.
I am also the daughter of the flower season, and I have also gone to the mandarin duck tent with you before the moon. But you left me behind, and I don't know how to go on. Now, I am only twenty-six years old this year, and I have just finished the general road of life, so I want to spend my life in this majestic and stretching Weiyang Palace, and bury your love for the rest of my life?
Zhang Yan lowered her eyes, with no expression on her face, not knowing whether she was feeling compassion for this smart woman, or breaking the fate she was about to face.
Ding Yan raised his head and saw Zhang Yan's delicate face.
She is skinny, green silk is pulled into a simple child, tied behind her head, plain and lovely, her eyebrows are like distant mountains, and her eyes are like autumn water, she is really a first-class beauty. These days, she disappeared, the emperor searched all over the entire Chang'an City, and the worry was engraved into his bones, but he looked at this face with great hatred, only to feel that anger burned his reason, and suddenly he was evil to the side of his guts, and he held a slap on the side of her neck, "Zhang Yan, you are so annoying, believe it or not, I dare to slap you?" Fu chuckled again, "Your Majesty has searched the entire Chang'an City, but you don't know at all, you are hidden by us at the foot of Weiyang Palace, what if you are the queen of the high, now it is also called the heaven and the earth are not spiritual, and it is not at my disposal." β
"Tsk-"
She stretched out a finger and stroked the skin on Zhang Yan's face, white and greasy like the first snow, and praised in confusion, "It's really beautiful." β
"Mrs. Zhang of the Marquis of Xinping, the country is really beautiful."
His face sank suddenly, "Now that it's in my hands, are you still the queen of gold and jade?" Even if I kill you, your majesty will not know. β
