The New Year has passed like this.WWW.tsxsw.COM Counting on the fingers, there are only five or six days left before he comes back.
Thinking like this, I felt happy and excited in my heart. On this day, I saw the heavy snow melting and the sun was bright. I went to Anqi to visit Concubine Shu Gui and came back. I was sitting drinking tea when I heard a sharp voice reporting from outside:
"Master Mochou, a noble person from the palace is visiting."
Huanbi and I looked at each other in astonishment. We were stunned for a moment before we remembered that "Master Mochou" was me. And who could be the person in the palace? Fangruo had never seen such a pomp before.
However, I was in a trance, but I saw a beautifully dressed beauty walking in gracefully holding the maid's hand. The beauty was wearing a lotus green brocade and a crane cloak with gold threads and filigree. The wind and hair were fluffy. For a moment, I couldn't see what she looked like. The maid supporting her was beside her.
, it turned out to be Caiyue and Bailing.
I was so happy that I almost couldn't believe it was Meizhuang, but I heard Caiyue say: "Huigui concubine is here."
The head of the crane's cloak, embellished with lotus flowers and embellished with gold filigree, was removed, revealing a fair and beautiful face with eyebrows.
Meizhuang is slightly plumper than before, and she wears a high bun with a few scattered delicate six-leaf palace flowers, a golden lotus hanging upside down on the horizontal hairpin, and intertwined pearls and emerald necklaces.
Below, it looks simple yet elegant. She wears a straight-collared moon-colored brocade dress with a bird's-eye auspicious flower swirling cloud pattern woven into silver and gold threads; paired with a blue satin woven chrysanthemum dress with dark flowers, each petal
The chrysanthemums were embellished with tiny white edges, and she added a green satin double-breasted dress with pearl buttons. Although it was an ordinary dress, it made her more noble, elegant and graceful.
I couldn't help but feel so happy, and my eyes felt sour, but I bowed down and said, "Your concubine, Jin'an."
Before I finished speaking, Mei Zhuang's hand had already firmly supported me, and tears fell from his eyes, "Huan'er, it's my fault that I didn't come to see you until now."
As soon as her words came out of her mouth, I couldn't help but shed tears. We were speechless, and we only carefully looked at each other's bodies and appearances to see if we were okay.
Seeing that I was also crying, Mei Zhuang quickly wiped away my tears and said, "It's been so many years since we sisters have seen each other this time. Why are we just crying?" He took a silk cloth to wipe my tears. Mei Zhuang looked around my residence,
He frowned and said to Abbot Jing'an who followed him in: "Why do you want my sister to live in such a remote place? It takes me just one stick of incense to get here from Ganlu Temple, and Ganlu Temple takes care of her like this."
Does it belong to the lady who cultivates in the palace?"
Meizhuang's tone was not harsh, but she was not angry and assertive, and she was burdened by her status as a noble concubine. Before Jing'an could speak, cold sweat was already dripping down the white forehead next to her.
I was overjoyed when I suddenly saw Meizhuang. I was too lazy to upset people like Jingbai, and I couldn't bear to be embarrassed. I just said: "I was sick a few days ago, so I moved here to recuperate. I am not the abbot."
thing."
Jing'an said silently: "Don't worry about being merciful."
Jingbai said repeatedly: "Yes, yes, Mochou was moved out because he was sick."
Mei Zhuang frowned slightly, but didn't say anything. He just said: "You guys go out and wait. I have something to say to Mochou." Everyone was about to leave, when Mei Zhuang said again: "I'll leave it to others."
, Master Jingbai is strong, so please sweep away the remaining snow on the mountain road that I must pass on my way back to the palace."
Caiyue pursed her lips and smiled and said: "To show your sincerity, please ask the master to complete this filial piety to your concubine alone."
Jingbai's face turned pale. Although the snow had melted, there was still a lot of snow and ice on the mountain road. The mountain road that Meizhuang had to pass back to the palace was long, so it was really difficult for her to sweep it alone.
When I saw Jingbai and his entourage going out, I smiled and said to Meizhuang, "Why bother her like this?"
Meizhuang didn't answer, just took my hand and sat down, saying, "Have you suffered all the grievances in Ganlu Temple?"
I shook my head, "Not really."
"You are so sweet-tempered that you still hide it from me like this. Even if I look at you, I don't know. You were deposed from the palace and sent away. How can there be people in this world who don't follow the same trend as red-topped white people?
You know, even if it’s a Buddhist temple, I don’t believe it can avoid vulgarity, not to mention that Ganlu Temple is a royal Buddhist temple.” Meizhuang sneered and said, “You don’t know, when I wanted to see you just now, the sister-in-law named Jingbai resisted me.
She tried to dissuade her in every possible way, saying that it was cold and that the road was slippery. She felt so guilty after just saying a few words to you, which shows that she has bullied you a lot.
I was so ashamed of her. Firstly, it taught her a lesson, and secondly, I didn’t think you were the one who instigated me to make things more difficult for you."
I felt warm in my heart and said, "It's hard for you to be so careful and plan for me."
I looked at her carefully and saw that she looked good, so I couldn't help but said with relief: "She is getting better and better now."
As if he couldn't get enough of me, Mei Zhuang looked up and down, and suddenly shed tears, saying: "It's okay, okay, I thought you had suffered enough, and I heard from the abbot that you were seriously ill and moved out of Ganlu Temple.
I was extremely flustered when I came here. Now that I see that you look good and your appearance is more beautiful, I can feel more at ease."
I paid attention to her attire, and it was indeed bright and colorful. I said even more joyfully: "I heard that you were promoted to noble concubine. I have been happy for you for many days."
Meizhuang frowned, raised the corners of his lips slightly, but with a hint of disgust, and said: "So what about the noble concubine? If there hadn't been the injustice of being banned, I might still be happy. Now, this noble concubine is mine,
What's the difference between Chang Zai and Cai Nv, who has a low status? I may not be willing to take it to heart!"
Meizhuang was originally young and beautiful, with a gentle temper and a high spirit. Now she is so cold-tempered and even more indifferent to people and things, which makes people feel sad. I thought of something and became more sad and asked: "Even if you don't care about my concubine,
Why do you need to move to Tangli Palace alone?"
Meizhuang seemed to be smiling but not smiling. She just touched a string of agate bracelets on her wrists and said softly: "You are quite informed." There was a look of boredom in her eyes that was as light as smoke as she said: "You lived in Tangli Palace.
He will never set foot in that place again, let alone ask me, who lives in Tangli Palace, to sleep with me. To me, this is a good thing." Meizhuang's eyes lightly crossed my face and he said softly: "
As soon as you left, I didn't even have anyone in the palace who I knew and cared about. Although the concubine Jing is a nice person, she is still an outsider. Why don't you just let me stay in the house where you lived, so that I can miss you a little bit."
I sighed: "Why are you doing this?"
Mei Zhuang stroked his cheek and said: "Is it very bitter? I don't think so. After you left, the emperor also called me to bed twice, but I just felt bored when facing him. I am so pure and pure
Why should I leave my body to such a callous person like him? Just thinking about it makes me feel bored and even I hate myself. Therefore, I retain my title of concubine and take care of Longyue together with Concubine Jing.
It's the best thing for me that you wait for opportunities and don't sleep with him." Meizhuang's smile was as cold as light, "In recent years, there have been many new people, and the emperor doesn't care about me, he only treats me as a child.
It’s a courtesy. But it’s okay, with the status of noble concubine, I can be more effective in some things.”
Meizhuang's eyes fell on my clothes and he suddenly stopped talking.
Since I re-dressed Xuanqing, because there are not many people coming and going in Lingyunfeng's Zen room, I don't often wear Buddhist robes. Today I only wear a homely light blue tapestry dress, with a loose bun.
, only one pearl was added to the hairpin.
Meizhuang asked curiously: "Didn't you become a monk without wearing your ornaments? Why are you still dressing up like this?"
I felt a little uneasy, but how could I express the reason to Meizhuang, so I concealed it with a smile: "It's snowing and I can't change into my clothes, so I took out my old clothes and put them on first." I thought about it and said, "The emperor wants to
I have become a monk, so why should I listen to him in everything?"
It happened that Huanbi had poured tea and was listening to me talking to Meizhuang. With a sad and happy look on her face, she started the conversation: "Master Hui, I don't know, but our lady is also worried about you. Aunt Fangruo often comes to visit.
In addition to greeting Di Ji, the young lady only asked if the master was okay."
Caiyue wiped her tears and said: "It's not like our young lady tried every means to beg the emperor and the queen mother for my wife to leave the palace, but in the end it was of no use and even annoyed the emperor. Otherwise, she would have become a concubine in the past few years.
Already."
I felt a little sour in my heart and said, "Before I left the palace, I told you to pay attention to An Lingrong and the Queen, and to be careful of Guan. Don't get angry for me. It's more important to be at ease and take care of yourself. Why don't you still?"
Listen, why have I angered the emperor?"
Meizhuang's face turned slightly green, like a piece of clear sapphire, and said: "If it weren't for you telling me to suppress my temper, I would have had an attack. But if I hold back and don't want to ask the emperor anymore, I will do it for you.
I have to ask for my last request. I can't help you when you are banned from Tangli Palace, and I can't help you when you are deposed from the palace, but I can always ask for some status for you, so that you don't suffer in Ganlu Temple.
Bullying. After all, there is a big difference between becoming a monk with or without a reputation." A cold light flashed in Mei Zhuang's eyes, and he said sharply: "It's a pity that your heart is fickle. Not only is he unwilling to restore your reputation for the sake of Long Yue,
, regardless of the affection he owed me in the past, I begged several times and almost grounded me again. I always thought he was unkind to me, and he always had some affection for you when he doted on you, but unexpectedly he turned out to be so cold-hearted!"
I bit my lower lip slightly and said quietly, "You and I both know his ruthlessness, so why bother mentioning it again?"
Mei Zhuang smiled slightly, like spring flower dew, but there was no smile at all in her eyes. The cold light was like the tip of the gold shell inlaid with enamel armor on her little finger. Even though the golden light shone, it only made people laugh.
Feeling cold. "Yes, there is really no need to mention such a heartless and unlucky person."
Meizhuang worked so hard for me without caring about his own life. I was deeply moved and said softly: "Aunt Fangruo can come to see me often because you begged the Queen Mother. You are doing your best for me..."
Meizhuang waved his hand and said: "If it were me who was suffering today, you would do the same for me. I listened to your advice and restrained myself over the years. I didn't attract the queen's attention and only served the queen mother wholeheartedly.
I took care of Longyue with Jingfei. I just wanted to find an opportunity to help you clear up your grievances in one fell swoop. However, their tricks are really hard to find. I have been paying attention for many years but I still can't catch them." Meizhuang's eyebrows jumped, and suddenly he smiled lightly, "
But even so, it doesn’t mean I’m doing nothing.”
She smiled lightly, and her face under the exquisite pearls became even more beautiful, perfectly hiding the sharpness behind her smile.
My fingers were drawing circles on the table carelessly, and the warm and flat touch of the wood was reassuring. I asked slowly: "Is there anyone in the harem who can rival the Queen's party now?"
Mei Zhuang touched the soft wind hair on the skirt of his clothes and said lightly: "How many Concubines Murong Hua are there in the world? They dare to compete with the Queen. The Queen is in charge of the harem, and the power of the two concubines to assist in the six palaces is in vain. They can only raise their own children with peace of mind.
Emperor Ji, seek a peaceful life."
I said casually: "What about the concubine Changgui of the Lord Jinkang's family?"
"Are you talking about Hu Yunrong? Her background is not small. She is the daughter of Princess Jinkang and the granddaughter of the eldest princess Wuyang. Her family background is second only to the queen. She also gave birth to Emperor Hehu. Even the emperor looked at her with special eyes.
Although her status was a little lower when she entered the palace, she is now a noble concubine." Meizhuang pondered slightly, "I think she is also a restless master. Now there is still one missing among the three concubines, and she only focuses on the concubine.
.If she gives birth to a son, I'm afraid she will also covet the throne of the queen."
I took a sip of tea and said, "It's just that she can't give birth right now, right?"
Mei Zhuang raised his eyebrows and said in a faint tone, "So she can only act anxiously, and there is nothing she can do." Mei Zhuang picked up the white porcelain tea cup, took a slow sip, and said, "I am looking forward to her.
I can give birth to a son who can compete with the queen, but it is a pity that she will never give birth to another son."
I raised my eyebrows and said casually: "Did Wen Shichu tell you?"
"I told you, I just kept it from Hu Yunrong, and I didn't allow Wen Shichu to tell others. First, I was afraid that Hu Yunrong would lose her temper when her temper got angry, and second, I was afraid that she would lose her fighting spirit, and I wouldn't even be able to borrow her strength."
Meizhuang's mind became calmer day by day, and I couldn't help but praise: "Very good, you are weak and weak, so it is good to be more cautious."
Meizhuang elegantly held back her hands and said softly: "Since Fu Ruyin's death, the queen's life has become more and more peaceful."
"Fu Ruyin?" I raised my eyes slightly, with some doubts.
"I wonder if Fangruo has told you about Fu Jieyu, who was so favored by the palace during the last draft. And Fu Ruyin was sentenced to death by the Queen Mother because of the Five Stones Incident, and her whole life was implicated." Mei Mei.
Zhuang's eyes were like dark sparks, "Actually, when we met on the day of the draft, everyone thought that Fu Ruyin would definitely not be selected." She sighed quietly: "Because she looks so much like you,
Although they are not exactly the same, the outline of your face makes people think of you as soon as they see it. The emperor has been so angry with you all these years, even Concubine Jing was reprimanded for mentioning it occasionally. Now that someone who looks like you has come, the queen's face immediately changed.
Everything has changed."
"But she happened to be chosen, and she had to be pampered." The corner of my mouth moved slightly, and a vague sneer appeared. Meizhuang had never seen Queen Chunyuan, and the queen in the palace kept secrets, so she naturally
I don’t know that Fu Ruyin was chosen not because she looks like me, but because she looks like another woman named Xuan Ling Nian Nian Meng who is similar to me.
"That's right. At that time, everyone thought that the emperor was still angry with you, so Fu Ruyin would definitely not be selected. Only Concubine Duan said, 'This woman will definitely be selected with a high position.'" Meizhuang's eyes turned slightly, his eyes clear.
With a slight flash of light, "She had the highest status among the selected show girls in that session. She was summoned the day she entered the palace. Although she was not as favored as you were in the palace back then, the emperor was proud of her. He stayed with her day and night, and she was promoted continuously within a year.
Several levels later, I was asked to be promoted to a noble concubine, and I almost forgot about the most favored ones, Hu Yunrong and An Lingrong. If it weren't for the courtiers' strong advice, I'm afraid even the government would have been neglected."
"So the five stones were scattered?"
"Yes. In fact, even if the five stones were not scattered, she would be so pampered and resentful in the Sixth Palace. I'm afraid she wouldn't live long." Meizhuang's armor intentionally or unintentionally scratched the wooden table, leaving a few shallow scratches.
Hen, "The Queen Mother means only one word, death."
I lowered my eyebrows and took a deep breath, "The Queen Mother despises special pampering." I calmed down, "If the Emperor really cares about her, he shouldn't pamper her like this and touch the things that the Queen Mother can't touch the most."
Meizhuang snorted and said disdainfully: "After the Queen Mother ordered her to die, the Emperor didn't even sigh, as if he had never doted on this woman." She paused, deeply confused and said: "Actually, I don't understand either, Your Majesty.
Why do you favor her? The emperor obviously blamed you, but he favored a woman who looked like you. And after she died, he showed no pity."
How could Xuan Ling feel pity for her? Fu Ruyin only had a similar appearance to Queen Chunyuan. No matter how much talent or wisdom she had, in Xuan Ling's eyes, she was just a shadow.
Mei Zhuang added: "Fu Ruyin actually has nothing but empty beauty. She is really an empty beauty. But the more favored she is, the more unhappy the queen becomes. Although I can't help you bring down the queen, but I have to
She is sad and has a Fu Ruyin."
I smiled meaningfully and tapped my nails on the lid of the tea clock, "You probably encouraged Fu Ruyin to fight for favor."
Meizhuang's wonderful eyes slightly opened, revealing a smile that also meant a lot, "That's right. I just used a little trick, and she became even more favored. An Lingrong and Guan have been in the spotlight for a long time, and finally there is someone who can give them a taste of it."
I feel like being left out."
I smiled lightly, casually picked up a green plum blossom and sniffed it, "I originally thought she looked a bit like me, and you would have special pity on her."
Meizhuang laughed in shock, "That was true at first. But how can she compare with you? You can help Longyue to be favored with a little thought outside the palace. She just has beauty and a competitive spirit."
Mei Zhuang suddenly stopped smiling and said sadly: "It's just that after this hollow beauty was sentenced to death, no one in the palace can easily shake the status of the queen's party. It's such a pity."
I caressed her hand lovingly and said, "Actually, you don't have to worry so much about me. You still have a long time to live. It's important to take care of yourself."
