Chapter 137. regret
The news of Qi Guiren's concubine did not stir up too much turmoil in the palace, she had the surname Guerjia, and it was a matter of time before she was sealed as a concubine, but in this way, there were two lords in Chuxiu Palace, which was a little embarrassing.
On this day, everyone came to greet the queen, and she took the opportunity to mention the matter: "This matter has been mentioned to the emperor, and the emperor means that the palace will be moved again in the spring of next year." She glanced at Concubine Qi, and saw that she nodded obediently, and couldn't help but feel relieved, after training for so long, she finally saw the results, smiled, and said again, "Seeing that it is the end of the year, this year is a cold winter, and the matter of the snow disaster in the south has just stabilized. ”
Concubine Qi smiled sweetly, and her voice couldn't wait to drip honey: "There is a queen mother who always remembers, and the concubine does not feel wronged at all." ”
"Concubine Qi is really empathetic and magnanimous." Kang promised to open his mouth immediately, smiling so much that he couldn't see his eyes, "If you change to a concubine, it will be a decisive decision, the mother is beautiful, the heart is also beautiful, I don't care about this gain or loss at all, no wonder the emperor and the queen love it......"
An Lingrong's "illness" expired, and today she also came with everyone to ask for peace, and Kang promised to meet for the first time, she drank half a sip of tea, looked at Kang's promise to talk endlessly, and was stunned for a long time, and then slowly heard that something was wrong, until she heard a sentence "The wronged mother still wants to look at the eyes of some people in the palace", her face was slightly cold.
Okay, this is pulling Shen Meizhuang as a foil, holding stinky feet for Concubine Qi, praise it, you have to pull someone to step on it, as if this can highlight the dignity of Concubine Qi, and I don't want to think about it, Shen Meizhuang entered the palace earlier than Concubine Qi, and has been assisting the Sixth Palace for many years, how can they speak lightly.
An Lingrong's eyes were cold, and she put the teacup on the table lightly, interrupting Kang's promise, she raised her eyes with a smile and looked over, but her eyes were frosty: "Kang promised to be really eloquent, look at this palace, it's time to seal it." Before Kang agreed to laugh, he followed up and said, "It's not a shame to make jokes here, and it's really rare to have such a thick skin." ”
An Lingrong's voice is clear and warm, it sounds as refreshing as a babbling spring water, but her words are not majestic, even if everyone present heard her sarcasm, but there was no way to accuse her of inappropriateness, she smiled, as if she was really joking with Kang.
Kang's promised smile froze on his face, glaring at An Lingrong and daring to be angry, she had been in the palace for two months, she naturally knew that Concubine Rong of Weiyang Palace was the only one who was favored, even if she didn't sleep much now, the emperor would still go to her palace from time to time to talk to her, and even the Heart Cultivation Palace had the right to enter and leave freely - this was a privilege that even the queen mother did not have!
"The mother laughed." Kang promised to swallow the grievances hard into his stomach, trying to squeeze out a smile.
An Lingrong glanced at her with a smile, lowered his eyes and touched the armor on his hand: "This palace is not laughing. After just one sentence, she stopped, and turned to look at the queen with a smile, "The queen's mother is making a new tribute oolong tea today, right?" The tea soup is bright and the tea taste is neither bitter nor astringent, so it is worth tasting. ”
"If you like it, wait for the palace to let Jianqiu wrap a box, and you can take it back and drink it slowly." The queen didn't look at Kang and agreed, but only smiled dignified and talked to An Lingrong.
An Lingrong nodded and smiled, and responded freely.
"Tea tasting is important in the word 'taste', and Concubine Rong also has a lot of experience when she thinks about it, but the concubine has heard that Niangniang loves flower tea the most on weekdays." Jin Guiren twisted his handkerchief and put it to his lips and chuckled, paused deliberately for a moment, and then continued, "As the saying goes, tea is the most obscene, the writing is dyed, the tea leaves are mixed with petals, and the fragrance of tea will be dominated by the fragrance of flowers, which is a pity in vain." ”
An Lingrong slowly hooked the corners of his mouth, glanced at her and withdrew his gaze.
Shun Chang retorted against the Jin nobles: "Shennong's Classic of Materia Medica" says, tea, drinking can be beneficial, less lying, lightweight, and bright-eyed, "Compendium of Materia Medica" says, tea is bitter and cold, yin in the yin, sinking also, descending also, the most able to get off the fire. Therefore, the concubine thinks that the purpose of tea tasting is to purify the heart, not to care about the quality of the tea. Jin Guiren is afraid that his heart is too hot due to excessive thinking, so why don't he drink more tea and defeat the fire? ”
Jin Guiren choked and was so blocked that he couldn't speak.
She originally wanted to say that An Lingrong had to mix flowers when drinking tea, was disloyal and unchaste, and could be contaminated with anyone casually, if she said it bluntly, it would be empty slander, but she used flower tea as a metaphor, and An Lingrong could only be speechless even if she heard it. But who knows, An Lingrong didn't even look at her, she didn't hear it, and she used the effect of drinking tea to mock her for being too eager and thinking about something that didn't belong to her.
For a while, Jin Guiren's face turned blue and red, and he didn't know how to refute it.
But no one paid attention to her anymore, the queen glanced at her lightly, ignored it, so stupid and reckless, even if it came to her side, it was useless, so she let everyone laugh and expose the matter, Concubine Jing was the first to say: "In the end, I am always reading poetry and books, knowing this, the concubine only knows whether the tea is good or not, where do you know these twists and turns." ”
"Tea, you can clear your heart, this sentence repeats itself, it can be said, it can be seen that tea is all-encompassing, not only a word of obscenity can be explained." Concubine Duan blew a puff of tea smoke, spoke softly, and glanced at everyone again, "You might as well try it." ”
Everyone was interested and tried one after another.
The queen pinched her fingers and whispered softly, and suddenly smiled: "It's still Concubine Duan's erudition and knowledge, you can be pure-hearted, pure-hearted, pure-hearted, pure-hearted, pure-hearted, and pure-hearted, one sentence can be through five sentences, and the meaning is the same, it's really interesting." ”
"It's funny." Concubine Zhen smiled and said, "I didn't expect to be able to play like this." ”
Everyone laughed in unison.
At the end, the queen talked about going out of the palace to pray for blessings in February of the same year: "The meaning of this palace is to go to all the concubines and above, what do you think?" ”
"The queen is thoughtful, and the concubines naturally have no objections." Concubine Qi has always been obedient to the queen.
"The concubine can't stand the fatigue of the journey, so let's take a leave of absence from the queen." This is Concubine Duan.
An Lingrong also smiled and said: "The concubine's health is too noisy, plus Concubine Jing and Sister Mei are going out of the palace, and the sixth elder brother and Haoyue will also be taken care of, and the concubine will not go." ”
"Since you have all discussed, this palace naturally has nothing to say." The queen didn't say much.
In the end, six people were decided, except for the queen, only Concubine Qi Jingfei, Shen Meizhuang, and Concubine Qi Zhen, and everyone had no objections.
"Why didn't my sister say a word today?" Leaving Jingren Palace, An Lingrong and Shen Meizhuang walked on the long street, there were no outsiders, and they spoke a lot more casually, "Kang promised to be something, and he dared to talk like that. ”
"It doesn't matter if it's choreographed or not." Shen Meizhuang was very frustrated, she talked about the day of the full moon of Haoyue, "That night, the emperor sent Concubine Qi back to Chuxiu Palace, and came to see Haoyue by the way, and it happened that Concubine Jing came back to get the veil, so she sat down and ate tea for a while, and laughed a few words, who knows, Concubine Jing just said a sentence 'Haoyue's mouth and chin are like Guan concubines', the emperor was so angry that he smashed the teacup, and bluntly said, 'There is only one princess's mother, and there is no one else', and left angrily. She took An Lingrong's hand and sighed deeply, "The emperor hasn't been angry about Huan'er for a long time, and I don't know what happened that day, Concubine Biqi was watching from the sidelines, and the queen must have known about it." He is so disgusted with Huan'er, people inside and outside the palace watch people put dishes on their plates, I am really worried about Huan'er's situation outside the palace. ”
An Lingrong suddenly remembered her previous life, Zhen Huan should have had a very bad time in Ganlu Temple, not to mention that she left the palace three days after giving birth to Haoyue, and she didn't even sit down well in confinement, and her body was even more depleted.
But what can be done? Zhen Huan insisted on leaving the palace, and in such a situation, she had only one way out of the palace.
It's just that why is the emperor so angry? Isn't it enough to have a graceful presence?
An Lingrong was a little puzzled.
On this day, the emperor summoned An Lingrong to sleep after a long absence, and she took the Fengluan Chunen car and went to the Heart Cultivation Hall after some makeup.
"You're here." The emperor sat in front of the window, looking a little strange, raised his hand to exempt her from saluting, and let her sit beside him, "I am very confused in my heart, and I want to talk to you." ”
An Lingrong comprehended, took off his armor and gave the emperor a massage to relax: "What troubles has the emperor encountered?" ”
"Rong'er, I ......" The emperor seemed to be a little embarrassed, and paused for a long time before speaking, "I regret it." ”
An Lingrong blinked her eyes slightly, and almost instantly understood what the emperor was talking about, she lowered her eyes, her eyes were barren, and she secretly mocked in her heart, what's the use of regretting now, everyone has already left, who will you show such sadness? On the day Haoyue was born, he gave the steps several times, in fact, he was making excuses for himself, who knew that Zhen Huan was so resolute that they forced each other to have no way out.
Regret?
There is no regret medicine in the world.
"The emperor regrets it, why don't you go to Ganlu Temple to pick up my sister back?" An Lingrong said.
"I'm afraid she won't come back." The emperor sighed heavily, "That's it, let her practice hard in Ganlu Temple for a few years, and when she figures it out, she will find a way to come back." ”
An Lingrong's hand moved, and his breathing became a little difficult.
What do you mean?
Could it be that in the last life, Zhen Huan designed to return to the palace, and the emperor knew and acquiesced?
An Lingrong looked at the emperor's back, and for the first time felt what it was called, and the emperor's heart was unpredictable.
"Wan Chang is here, what do you think of her?" The emperor didn't notice An Lingrong's abnormality, and asked about another thing.
"I heard Concubine Duan Niangniang say that Wan Chang is very similar to Queen Chunyuan." An Lingrong replied lightly, "Not only in appearance, but also in charm and temperament, they are all the same as Queen Chunyuan, looking at it from a distance, I thought I saw Queen Chunyuan." ”
When the emperor heard this, he also nodded: "Yes, it's very similar, it's really very similar." "However, it is because it is too similar, so I have to be vigilant, there are some Chunyuan and my boudoir words that she can repeat word for word, really, a little too deliberate." ”
He looked at the candle flame on the table abruptly, with a hint of nostalgia in his eyes, and muttered in a low voice: "Why should you cut the candles in the west window together, but talk about the night rain in Bashan...... Huanhuan, are you okay? ”
An Lingrong sat silently on the side, his heart was full of clarity.
I always want to get what I can't get, but I don't cherish what I get, and I regret it only after I lose it, heh, it's ridiculous.
As the monarch of the world, he can be regarded as a bright monarch, thousands of years later, there will be a strong stroke of his strong stroke in the history books, but as a pillow person, as a sweetheart, he is not qualified.
As the night fell, the affair was temporarily resting, An Lingrong was lying beside the emperor, looking at the bright yellow curtain above his head in a daze, his body was obviously exhausted to the extreme, but his mind was never sober. She suddenly realized that the love between her and the emperor may only come here, if it goes deeper, she will go to a dead end like Zhen Huan, but if it is shallow, it will not work, the harem is full of dangers, and she needs the emperor's favor to maintain her power and connections.
An Lingrong slowly closed his eyes and sank into his sleep.
The days are still long, and we have to maintain them well......
