07 The past is not to be feared
At night, there was silence in the imperial city of Luoyang.
The Zhengyang Palace was even quieter, with only the sound of Sima Zhen's snoring.
Zhang Du was silent in the dormitory for a while, and after hearing the snoring becoming more and more stable, he quietly went out and went to the Tianyuan Palace where Yang Xianrong was presented.
Yang Xianrong hadn't slept yet, she was watching Mama Qi sewing the baby's clothes, and Mama Zhou was also boiling some nourishing red date hot porridge on the side, steaming, and some aroma wafted out.
She brought back the forsythia from Jinyong City and made her her her handmaiden.
Forsythia was unhappy at first, thinking that he had helped Jia Nanfeng do so many bad things, and now that Xiao Heitan was also dead, it was not a good ending for him to die in Jinyong City.
But Yang Xianrong disagreed.
After bringing people back, she didn't pay attention to her, but let her follow Luzhu to do things together, in and out, and she was very busy.
Just when Forsythia thought that it was just because she was familiar with the affairs of the palace, especially the "old man" stipulated by the etiquette of the Empress of the Great Jin Dynasty, Yang Xianrong suddenly called her into the palace, closed the door, lifted the placket, took off the "belly", and then asked Forsythia: "What should the palace do now?" Will it kill you, or will it keep you? ”
Forsythia was so frightened that he hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "Queen Taishang, the slave is a capital crime." ”
"What are you guilty of?" Yang Xianrong looked at her, and there was no expression on her beautiful face.
Forsythia didn't dare to raise her head at all, and was still kowtowing desperately, and her forehead was already red and swollen. "All slaves and maids are capital offenses."
"It's okay, you can talk about it." Yang Xianrong put his "belly" aside, and he relaxed.
In fact, when she saw Forsythia after the incident between Yang Xian and Xiao Hei Tan that day, Lu Zhu had already quietly told Yang Xianrong about her.
This person is Jia Nanfeng's personal maidservant, knows a lot of things about Jia Nanfeng, and even participates in a lot. But later, because of a serious illness, Jia Nanfeng was afraid that her illness would overdo her, so he gradually refused to let her serve her. However, she can be said to be the leader and core figure among Jia Nanfeng's maidservant mothers, and she has always been very powerful.
Yang Xianrong didn't speak at the time, but secretly remembered it in his heart.
After drying her for more than a month, she suddenly called her to speak, and her mouth was her "belly", and it was strange that Forsythia was not flustered.
She knelt on the ground, speculating on the purpose of the sheep's sacrifice. In these days of contact, she found that the new queen was not ostentatious, nor did she like to be lively, she just lived peacefully, and of course there were some feelings of discouragement. She also knew that Jia Nanfeng was arrogant and lonely in the end, but what about being a maidservant?
"Queen Mother, since the slave has been seriously ill, many things don't want to be taken care of. I only want peace to old age. "Forsythia is still kowtowing.
Yang Xianrong looked at her and just said, "Do you think this troubled world can still allow you to grow old safely?" Maybe, I don't know if I'll die tomorrow, right? ”
After a pause in the action of forsythia kowtowing, he actually stopped, raised his head to look at the sheep Xianrong, and suddenly laughed. "Does the queen think the same way?"
"I've always thought like this." Yang Xianrong said word by word, "Since entering the palace, what this palace thinks about is not to die too ugly." ”
“…… You're different. Forsythia really laughed, "The slave maid has served Jia Nanfeng since she was a child, she is different, she has to fight for the short and long in everything, which is why she is so tired." ”
"She really can't think about it, she can't understand it." Yang Xianrong also laughed, "This palace doesn't hide it from you, after this abolition, this palace thinks more, there is no need to fight in the harem for a long time, and the affairs of the court are not the things that this palace can decide, the only thing to do is to live your own life and bring you people to live more comfortably." ”
"The Queen is wise." Forsythia leaned over and kowtowed again.
"Okay, if it's good, I've heard enough about it. Now this palace only asks you one sentence: What should I do with this belly? Yang Xianrong stared straight at her, "Anyway, there is a prince today, do you want to keep this child?" ”
"Queen Mother, how dare a slave talk about such a thing?" Forsythia sweated.
"It's okay, everyone around this palace knows it. Since you are also a person by the side of this palace now, naturally I will not hide you. What's more, your compassion for Xiao Heitan is enough to prove that you still have some conscience and justice, and staying by the side of this palace will only help rather than betray you. ”
"The Queen." Forsythia falls to the ground again. Yang Xianrong's words seem light, but in fact they contain more meaning. At least her secret has been told to her, she is also by her side, in case anything really happens, she will also die with the people of Tianyuan Palace, there is no second choice.
This is to force her to open her heart to Yang Xianrong to show her loyalty, and to give the remnants of Jia Nanfeng's power in her hands to Yang Xianrong. She is not as weak and coquettish as she seems, but a very assertive woman.
Forsythia lowered her head, thinking of Yang Xianrong who yelled at her own sister for Xiao Hei Tan that day, and didn't dislike the dirty injuries that still had to wrap Xiao Hei Tan's ankles, and let him eat tea with Yang Xian in the small study before...... She has never treated Xiao Heitan as a subordinate, even if she doesn't know his identity, she just treats him as seriously and kindly as a child.
In such a palace, the most important thing is to follow the right talent. What did she get for Jia Nanfeng's hard work back then? But now, she has put all her heart and soul on this woman, and she kowtowed solemnly, "Queen Mother, the slave and maid will protect you to the death." ”
Yang Xianrong laughed again, and there was a little light in his eyes. "It's not dead, it's alive, it's good not to leave. Hongu will do the same to you. ”
It's a promise, and Forsythia understands it.
When Zhang Du came in, he was also shocked to see that Forsythia was actually holding a vigil for the sheep. He naturally knew the relationship between Forsythia and Jia Nanfeng, and even Sima Zhen hated Forsythia a little. However, now he can't take care of much, because the matter of the crown prince is too big, and he must discuss it with Yang Xianrong.
"At that time, after the reward, the emperor was going to get in the chariot and return to the palace, who knew that Sima Jian suddenly said this, and pulled that Sima Qin in front of the emperor's eyes...... The military guards beside him stopped the emperor's chariot, as if the emperor could kill the emperor immediately if he said the word 'no'. The old slave and Ji Shizhong had already stopped in front of him, but Sima Jian's voice was very loud......"
"Forget it, since it's already like this, it's useless to say anything." Yang Xianrong waved his hand and asked Cui Xi to serve Zhang Du some food, "You don't have to worry, now we are in the hands of others, let's save our lives first." What's more, what do you think a child like Sima Tan can do if he doesn't have any hair? ”
