Chapter 128. Wall

"The concubine doesn't know what else to say to the emperor." Zhen Huan stiffened her face and didn't look at the emperor, her voice was so cold that it could freeze, "The emperor gave up his concubines, and he also gave up his concubines' families, and the concubines had nothing to say." ”

The emperor pursed the corners of his mouth, as if he wanted to explain something, but in the end, what he said was a sentence: "Do you know the great disrespect to Queen Chunyuan that day?" ”

"If the concubine says that it is unintentional, will the emperor believe it?" The tip of Zhen Huan's nose was sour, and she stubbornly raised her head and asked.

"Whether it's unintentional or intentional, a mistake is a mistake." The emperor looked at her haggard appearance, and said in his heart that it was false not to feel distressed, but he never stepped this hurdle, he wanted Zhen Huan to bow her head and admit her mistakes and bow her head to admit defeat, but she didn't admit her mistakes and refused to admit defeat, which was really annoying.

Zhen Huan gritted her back molars, almost wanting to laugh self-deprecatingly, but her stiff face couldn't make any expression, she slowly got up with her stomach and knelt straight to the emperor: "The concubine is guilty of offending Queen Chunyuan, and she would rather be grounded for the rest of her life and be ashamed." She blinked vigorously and held back her tears, but her voice was irrepressibly choked, "But please emperor, Gu Nianchen's concubine's parents are old, please take care of it lightly." ”

"As you just said, don't just listen to one side of everything. I won't believe all of Emin's words, but I will see everything about Qian Mingshi and your father's words and deeds, and all kinds of incidents are really not wronged by your mother's family. The emperor tried hard to hold down the hand that wanted to reach out to help her, and said in a deep voice, "Originally, I planned to let your parents go to Ningguta, but remembering your father's hard work and advanced age, I have changed the order, Zhen Yuandao and his family are exiled to Shu, and they don't have to be slaves, just live there, and it can be regarded as my aunt's hard work for him." ”

Zhen Huan closed her eyes, and a tear slipped from the corner of her eye: "In the barbarian land of Bashu, the living environment is difficult, but it is much better than the bitter cold of Ningguta, and the concubine Xie Huangshang Longen." Although she already knew it, she still felt heartache when she heard this result from the emperor's mouth, she endured it and endured it, she couldn't help it, "It's just that the concubine's father was wronged, whether it is really ironclad evidence, or the emperor is suspicious of others because of Prince Dun and Nian Qianyao, only the emperor himself knows best!" ”

"Do you know what you're talking about?" The emperor slammed the teacup on the table to the ground, stood up, and looked down at Zhen Huan coldly, "I shouldn't have come to see you today." ”

He crossed Zhen Huan, walked away, and didn't look at her again.

Walking out of the Broken Jade Xuan, the emperor stood at the door in a daze for a long time, and Su Peisheng on the side asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, where are you going next?" Do you go back to the Palace of Nourishing Hearts, or go to which little main palace? ”

"Go, Chuxiu Palace." The emperor pondered for a moment before he spoke, and as soon as his voice landed, he changed his mind, "Go to Weiyang Palace." ”

"Yes." Su Peisheng hurriedly stopped his singing voice, "Drive Weiyang Palace." ”

The emperor's royal car slowly walked away, and the gate of Broken Yuxuan closed again, like a small stone falling into the sea, making a little splash, and it was submerged in an instant.

There was laughter and laughter in the Weiyang Palace, Cuiyin and others were playing with An Kang and the sixth elder brother to catch the eagle and catch the chickens, the palace was brightly lit, and the children's crisp laughter came into their ears, making people feel comfortable unconsciously, and the emperor stood at the door of the Weiyang Palace, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile.

He raised his hand to stop Su Peisheng's shouting, put his hand behind him, and walked in alone.

In the courtyard, three or four palace maids grabbed the placket one by one and practiced in a string, the one at the head was Cardamom, behind them were Ankang and the sixth elder brother, Xiaoyinzi was an eagle, breaking through left and right, but he couldn't catch anyone, which made Ankang laugh non-stop.

An Lingrong stood under the tree not far away, dressed in a homely dress, with cloud temples piled up behind his head, loosely holding his hair in a bun, a jasper hairpin hanging down between the hair and not falling off, grinding spices with a stone bowl, Cuiyin and dill serving on the side, one adding spices, and the other collecting and grinding powder, with extremely tacit cooperation.

The emperor slowly approached, only to hear An Lingrong reciting the recipe for making incense: "This dream incense originated from the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the fragrance is cold, and it has the purpose of waking up dreams, so it is named...... Put the dipterocarp into the water to dissolve, soak the sandalwood slices, peach blossoms, and cloves, put them in the shade to dry, and then bake them slowly over low heat for three hours, grind them into fine powder, and finally mix them with the powder. ”

Her voice was soft and gentle, like a breeze on a summer night, slowly soothing the heat in her heart.

"Huang Ama!" An Kang shouted loudly, let go of the hand holding the cardamom placket, ran over, skipped An Lingrong, and flew into the emperor's arms, with beads of sweat on his little face, "Are you here to see Ankang?" ”

An Lingrong was startled, the stone pestle in her hand fell, she looked back, and saw that the emperor was looking at her with An Kang on his face with a smile on his face: "Why, I haven't seen me for too long, are you scared?" ”

Everyone stopped what they were doing, and knelt on the ground with a hula: "Greetings to the emperor." ”

"The emperor is blessed with Jin'an." An Lingrong hurriedly bowed, and then scolded An Kang, "Ankang come down quickly, I've been playing for a long time, my body is dirty, how can I rub it on your emperor Ama?" ”

"Don't!" Ankang was angry, hugged the emperor's neck tightly with his two arms, buried his face in his shoulders and neck, and said sullenly, "Ankang hasn't seen Huang Ama for a long time, so he wants to hug him." ”

An Lingrong was a little embarrassed, but the emperor was in a good mood, waved his hand and said it didn't matter, walked into the Chengxi Hall with Ankang in his arms, and saw that the furnishings inside were much more streamlined. ”

"The emperor said that, yesterday the noble Qi came over, looked at the screen and liked it, the concubine couldn't resist her, so he rewarded her." An Lingrong said lightly, there was not even a superfluous expression on her face, she poured a cup of tea for the emperor, and said with a smile, "The emperor hasn't been here for a long time, can you taste the newly made flower tea made by the concubine?" ”

"I remember that you liked that screen very much, why did you give it to the Qi nobleman so easily?" The emperor said, "You didn't like her much before." ”

An Lingrong smiled, put the teacup in his hand to the emperor, and poured himself another cup: "If the Qi nobles like it, it doesn't matter if the concubine likes it or not." ”

Although she said it simply, it became a different meaning in the ears of the emperor.

At this time, Qi nobles are favored, and it is inevitable that they will act in a high-profile manner, and they can have what they want immediately, but An Lingrong has not been favored for a long time, although the Internal Affairs Office does not dare to snub her too much in the face of the princess, but in comparison, she must be wronged. The things in Weiyang Palace were taken by the nobles of Qi, and An Lingrong was rewarded even if he didn't appreciate it.

The emperor lowered his eyes and took a sip of tea slowly: "Another day, I will reward you with a new one." ”

An Lingrong smiled faintly: "Emperor Xie." ”

The emperor's hand paused slightly, he raised his head, looked at the gentle but alienated smile on An Lingrong's face, and felt a pain in his heart: "Rong'er, even you want to treat me like this?" He let out a long breath, "Just now, I went to Broken Yuxuan to see the nobles of Guan, she looked very bad, I wanted to comfort her twice, but she didn't even have a good word, every word was against it, so angry that I had to leave, now that you are here, you are also very careful against me, really, can't you go back?" He suddenly regretted a little, "I just want her to admit her mistake, as long as she bows her head and admits her mistake, I can't forgive her, but why is she so tough?" ”

"Yes, my sister's mistake is that she has a face that is very similar to Queen Chunyuan, the fault is that she did not willingly continue to be a stand-in, and the fault is that she gave it to the emperor without reservation with a sincere heart, but she never left herself half a way out, right?" An Lingrong still had a faint smile on his face, but he couldn't hide the mockery in his eyes, "The emperor wants all the sincerity of the concubine, the concubine doesn't want to give, the emperor is angry, Sister Guan gave the emperor all the sincerity, but the emperor tramples on it at will, how can the emperor be satisfied?" ”

The emperor's face twitched slightly, and he looked at An Lingrong deeply and was silent for a long time.

"What, does the emperor still want to slap his concubine?" An Lingrong said with a smile, but his tone was as sharp as a knife, "The last slap, the concubine was laughed at for half a month, and if you do it again, the concubine is also experienced." ”

"Last time, it was me." After doing it that day, the emperor immediately repented, but he didn't know how to bow his head, and now, it's just a dry sentence.

The curvature of An Lingrong's mouth paused slightly, and for some reason, she suddenly couldn't help laughing.

She lowered her eyes, looked at An Kang who was lying on the emperor's lap, and said calmly: "It's late at night, Ankang should go to sleep, does the emperor want to stay overnight tonight?" The concubine went to arrange it first. ”

"No, I'll go back to the Heart Cultivation Palace." The emperor shook his head sullenly, raised his hand and touched Ankang's head, barely holding up a smile, "Go to bed obediently, I will come to see you another day." ”

Ankang was reluctant to let go of the emperor, and shouted to the emperor Ama again and again, but after seeing An Lingrong's obviously angry eyes, he timidly withdrew his hand and looked at the emperor with watery eyes: "You must come to see Ankang!" ”

The emperor nodded and agreed, and she was willing to follow the cardamom down to wash.

Walking out of the Chengxi Palace, the emperor saw that there was still a sixth elder brother standing in the courtyard, and his father's love had not faded, so he also said a few words to him gently.

The sixth elder brother's face suddenly showed a happy mood, and the emperor was sad for a while.

"What you said last time, let Concubine Jing raise the sixth elder brother, I agreed, you sort out his things, and send him to Xianfu Palace tomorrow." The emperor looked back at An Lingrong, who came out to see him off, and said slowly, "Ankang is a girl, and it's always not good to eat and sleep with her brother." ”

An Lingrong glanced at the sixth elder brother and bowed: "Yes, the concubine obeys the order." ”

After the emperor left, the sixth elder brother ran forward in a panic, holding An Lingrong's hand and shouting, without thinking about it, he knew that what he wanted to say was that he didn't want to leave and wanted to stay here.

An Lingrong comforted him for a while, and after he calmed down, he pulled him into the house and spoke: "Sixth elder brother, I promised your mother to protect you, Concubine Jing Niangniang is the best adoptive mother I can plan for you." She knew that the sixth elder brother was precocious, and she would be able to understand these words, "You are very happy in Weiyang Palace during this time, but you will not be so happy in the future, I can't sit still, so it will be difficult to take care of you in the future, and you can only be good by Concubine Jing's side." ”

An Lingrong hugged him and couldn't help but redden: "Hongyi, live well, don't let me worry." ”

The sixth elder brother shed tears and nodded vigorously.

The next day, Su Peisheng personally came to Weiyang Palace to pick up the sixth elder brother and politely sent him to Xianfu Palace.

"Pass on the emperor's edict, and the sixth elder brother Hongyi will be raised by Concubine Jing." Su Peisheng smiled at Concubine Jing and said, "Niangniang is overjoyed, the emperor said that the sixth elder brother and Princess Ankang are of the same age, and it is a little difficult for the concubine to take her alone, thinking that the mother has a gentle personality, treats people kindly, and is sympathetic to the mother for many years without children, so the sixth elder brother is specially sent to the mother to raise." ”

Concubine Jing was still in a daze, and it took a while for Su Peisheng to come back to her senses, and she was overwhelmed with joy: "Concubine Xie Emperor Longen." She was so happy that she burst into tears, and said that she would take good care of the sixth elder brother, holding his hand, tears flowing.

After half a life, she finally had a child of her own.

The sixth elder brother looked at Concubine Jing's loving face, and the resistance in his heart dissipated a little, he was held in Concubine Jing's arms, thinking in his heart that it was the fragrance of osmanthus flowers, although it was not as good as the fragrance on Rong Niangniang's body, but it also made people feel very relieved.

He closed his eyes, feeling a little tired.

It's that he's too weak, so Rong Niangniang can't take him with him, and when he grows up and becomes able to protect her, come back to her.

"The sixth elder brother was sent to Xianfu Palace?" The queen was a little surprised, "Isn't it good to keep it in Weiyang Palace?" The palace must think that the emperor is going to pass on the sixth elder brother to Concubine Rong. ”

Jian Qiu smiled on the side: "The sixth elder brother is the child of the queen's mother, how can he pass it on to Concubine Rong?" is now sent to Xianfu Palace, and the emperor also made it clear that it is to raise, this is to sympathize with the hard work of the mother, and let Concubine Jing raise the sixth elder brother for the mother, the name on the jade plate has not changed, and the sixth elder brother will always be the child of the mother. ”

The queen couldn't help but purse her lips and laugh: "It seems that Concubine Rong's grace has really come to an end." It's okay, it saves the palace the trouble of dealing with her, but it's her daughter, who is quite clever, right? She straightened her makeup and hair, looked up at Jianqiu and smiled.

Jian Qiu immediately understood and replied: "Yes, Princess Ankang is smart and smart, the emperor loves her very much, as long as they meet, they must be held in their arms, and even the Queen Mother loves her very much." ”

"The child is the flesh of the mother's heart, if there is a headache and brain fever, I am so anxious that I die." The queen said nonchalantly.

Jian Qiu's eyes flashed slightly, and she echoed: "What Niang Niang said is true." ”

There were seven places of exile in ancient times: Fangling (the place of exile of dignitaries and nobles in Hubei), Cangzhou (the northern frontier of the Northern Song Dynasty in Hebei), Shu (the land of barbarians in Chongqing, Sichuan), Lingnan (the land of smoke miasma in Guangdong and Guangxi), XJ (the land of the frontier), Ningguta (the land of HLJ's bitter cold), and Yazhou (the end of the world in Hainan)

However, the Qing Dynasty's penal colony was mainly concentrated in Shangyang Fort, Ningguta and Bu Kui, and the plot here was made up in order to pave the way, please don't study it in detail~
