Chapter 83 Temporary Residence at the Palace of Compassion and Peace
At night, I woke up again in a nightmare.
I called Lu'er in a low voice, but no one came in. The unfamiliar environment and luxurious furnishings made me think that I was now in the palace. I bent down and hugged the silk quilt tightly. The dragon and phoenix candle had been blown out by the wind, and the black core bent and fell into the candle.
The red dress on her body was already wrinkled, and I was beating my sore waist, but I didn't want to sleep at all and I didn't feel sleepy at all.
It's strange to say that pictures are no longer flashing through the mind as it was in the past few days, but it is empty, and there seems to be nothing but breathing. But that's okay, sometimes, it is our unchangeable fate to have to forget.
Everything is like a white paper that is not aligned, and can never go back to the past. It is spread out reluctantly, and slowly extends and staggers a little bit. Maybe we really should forget the undestined things.
There were scattered footsteps and orange light outside the door.
"Your Majesty, it's time to return to the palace." It was the eunuch's voice.
I walked numbly outside the door, and Lu'er quickly put on a cloak for me. Everyone's faces were sullen with discomfort. I looked back faintly at the tall plaque, "Cheng'en Hall."
I sneered coldly in my heart, the big warm bed in the so-called "Cheng'en Palace" and "Ganlu Palace" is really dirty.
"Your Majesty, please get on the sedan." Xiao Wuzi was assigned to serve me. I heard that he was transferred from the Queen's Palace.
"Where are you going?" he asked as he got on the sedan chair.
"Tonight things happened unexpectedly, and something went wrong for the Queen Concubine Jin at this juncture. Madam, we have to go to the Queen's Palace to stay temporarily for one night, what do you think?" Xiao Wuzi spoke very quickly, but his words were clear.
"I said, haha, you have already made arrangements, why do you need to ask me? Let's go, I also want to see the queen." You have to face what you have to face. Look at her, maybe you will be warned.
"Yes, let's set off immediately. I'm afraid the Queen has already slept peacefully." Li'er said as she trotted along with the sedan.
"Really? Can she sleep peacefully?" She sighed, wanting to close her eyes and rest, but she was not tired at all. She touched her slightly swollen eyelids, fearing that they would be blue and purple again tomorrow.
In front of Cining Palace, it is so dark that you cannot see your fingers. Before the light comes, you will experience endless darkness. Many people have lost their lives because they could not survive this period. Therefore, when you are still alive to welcome the morning light of a new day, you are
lucky.
Sure enough, when entering the Cining Palace, lanterns were hung high.
Under the red gauze curtain, Zijin sat sipping warm ginseng tea, with pictures of rich peonies blooming behind him.
Her eyes still have the clarity of childhood. The thick rouge has turned into a mask. I’m afraid even the owner has forgotten what the face looks like behind the mask. Although Zijin before entering the palace, he was very kind to my mother and me.
It's not very good, but the innocence and compassion shown in his eyes occasionally are beautiful. This is probably one of the reasons why he is so crazy about Xiang Yinong.
"See the Queen." Fu Fu held up his hands and looked down at the red smile. The numerous wrinkles looked like a sarcastic smile.
"No need to be polite, sister, please sit down quickly." Zijin quickly stretched out his hand and motioned for me to sit down.
After sitting down, she couldn't wait to ask: "Hey, my sister is so beautiful today. I wonder if the emperor admires my sister's beauty."
"Return to the imperial concubine, no. The emperor is thinking about the empress Jinfei. He rushed out as soon as he heard what the empress Jinfei wanted. After all, the imperial concubine is of royal blood now, so the emperor should be worried." After taking a sip, the palace maid
The ginseng tea served was pretty good.
"You!" Zijin was a little angry, but thinking that something was wrong, he said quietly: "My sister and the emperor are old friends. Why don't you go with the emperor to visit Concubine Jin, and also express condolences to your sister on my behalf."
"Sister, are you joking, old friend? I have known my brother-in-law for a long time, but he may not know that there is a sister like me! But don't worry, sister, now that my sister has entered the palace, she will serve the emperor with all her heart! Sister, look at this Cining
The palace is so beautiful, much better than the Prime Minister's Mansion. The ginseng tea and the food are all top-notch. My sister will definitely work hard to please the emperor and share this wealth and splendor with her." I smiled harder than a petunia.
The flowers are still brilliant! Suddenly, I suddenly thought of someone who once said that I looked like a cockscomb. That person stood tall in the evening breeze with his white clothes turning.
But, he has nothing to do with me anymore.
Zi Jin's forehead was dripping with cold sweat, but he couldn't figure out what was wrong. He felt like he had swallowed mosquitoes and said silently for a long time: "Sister, please rest early. I have to go to the Queen Mother's Palace tomorrow morning to pay my respects."
