The atmosphere in the palace became increasingly depressing.
In the Kowloon gilt incense burner in the distance, a little agarwood incense had long since burned out. The palace servant who added the incense stood by the curtain with his head lowered and his eyes closed. Concubine Nian looked over from a distance and felt that the servants in the palace were staring at her.
There are ridicules written all over them.
Hua Rong's eyes passed over Nian Fei lightly, without a trace of emotion on her face. It seemed to be a silent sarcasm: When you have reached this stage, why do you still pretend to be a master?
She is a tiger in distress, no matter how ferocious it is, it is not as good as a dog beside the queen.
The concubine Nian clenched her fists. The tortoise-shell armor on her fingertips was inlaid with pearl flowers, and the top was a piece of luxurious jade, which was extremely sharp and slowly penetrated into the palm of her hand.
Concubine Nian didn't feel any pain, but she suddenly remembered two lines of drama. They were from the time when she was in Prince Yong's Mansion, when she was still the unparalleled Nian Fujin. For her birthday in June, a big flowing table was laid out.
On that day, I also found a theater troupe to sing "Nan Ke Ji". Kunshan's Shuimo tune, the tenderness of the pulse, babbling, singing three sighs, accompanied by the sound of the pipa, like beads falling on a jade plate, plus
The Kundi has always entangled people's hearts with tenderness.
But there were two lines in the play that she didn't like very much: Summer goes away, cold comes, spring returns, autumn returns, the sun sets in the west and the water flows in the east.
Yes, this life is just like Nankeyi's dream. Wealth and splendor are there, and hairpins are there for generations. Now, when there is wind and rain, the building suddenly collapses, and when the sun sets in the west and the water flows in the east... it also happens.
The concubine Nian raised her face and closed her eyes slightly, feeling that the palace lanterns in the palace reflected her eyelids blood red.
Yin walked out.
The queen's face became solemn, and she immediately stood up to greet her. Yin glanced at her, sat down, stretched out his hands to straighten his sleeves, and said lightly: "The queen is here too? Get up."
Ulanara didn't move, just knelt down and said with a remorseful look on his face: "I am the Prime Minister of the Sixth Palace. I am supposed to share the emperor's worries, but I am incompetent!"
She glanced at Concubine Nian and said: "I just received a report from a servant, saying that Concubine Nian broke into the Yangxin Palace without permission. I was startled, thinking that the Yikun Palace was the emperor's strict order to let Nian Concubine.
The concubine is banned, how can she get out?"
Uranala seems to have done it intentionally, but if not, he emphasized the accent on the word "mixed".
Concubine Nian heard clearly. She raised her eyelids, but with a sneer at the corner of her mouth, she said: "The Queen, you don't have to be so impatient. You can do it by adding insult to injury, and you are not afraid of looking bad in front of the Emperor!"
Ulanara's face turned red, and he pretended not to hear, and sighed to Yin word by word: "Your Majesty, I am also in poor health these days. I have been drinking medicine and went to bed early. Although I was tight just now,
I hurried over here quickly, but I still let Concubine Nian disturb the emperor’s rest!”
She said this in one breath, turned away, coughed a few times, and Hua Rong quickly came to serve the queen, and patted the queen's back gently. The palace servants had already brought the saliva basin.
Yin glanced at the queen, waved his hand and said: "The queen is not in good health. There is no need to say more. Just sit down."
Uranara bowed his head and thanked her, then held Hua Rong's hand and sat down.
Yin's face was gloomy, and the palace lights in the palace were flickering on and off. The deep and shallow light and shadow rendered the cold lines on his face blurred.
He looked at the concubine Nian, who was wearing nondescript eunuch clothes, and looked up and down a few times without saying a word.
The concubine Nian looked at herself, her lips trembled slightly, she kowtowed her head and said in a voiceless voice: "Your Majesty, I have no choice but to do anything! You don't see me, and you even issued a grounding order. What can I do?
I just ask you to be merciful. My brother has committed suicide, and the Nian clan members... just let it go! Although I am not blessed and have never had any children, I have always served you wholeheartedly these years. There is hard work without merit, Your Majesty!
"
There was a hint of pity in Yin's eyes, and he said slowly: "Why haven't I shown mercy? My companions can't escape yet! As a tribesman, but they were sent to Guangxi, it's already a mercy from me!"
When Yin said this, he put his hands behind his back, withdrew his gaze and said in a deep voice: "Concubine Nian, this is not only a family matter, but also a state matter. I am the emperor of the Qing Dynasty! I have to consider and imagine many situations, and things are not like that.
Simple."
Concubine Nian stepped forward on her knees, grabbed the hem of Yin's robe, and cried out: "No! Your Majesty, you are the emperor, and the emperor has golden words. As long as you say to pardon the Nian clan, the whole clan will be saved!"
Yin stared at her, with a face as pale as water, and said word by word: "You also know that the emperor's golden words, once spoken, are hard to follow. Since my will has been made, there is no reason to change it."
Tears of despair overflowed from Nian Fei's eyes.
She shook her head desperately, tugging on Yin's robe but not letting go.
Su Peisheng saw that the commotion was embarrassing, so he stepped forward and pulled the hem of Yin's clothes away from Concubine Nian's hands, and said in a low voice: "Concubine Nian, the emperor has made it clear that there is no room for change in this matter.
You'd better go back quickly, don't anger the emperor, what good will it do to you!"
Concubine Nian was angry and spat on Su Peisheng's face.
Su Peisheng didn't hide and suffered silently.
On the other hand, Xiao Chenzi, who was behind, immediately took out the handkerchief from his arms and was about to hand it to Su Peisheng. After a few thoughts, he took his hand back.
Concubine Nian said bitterly: "Eunuch! I want you to be a good person here. Don't think that I don't know. It's you, the dog slaves, who have been teasing the emperor countless times behind his back!"
This refers to Sang Shu Huai.
Su Peisheng raised his hand, wiped the saliva from his face with his sleeve, stood up and walked behind Yin without saying a word.
Seeing this, the Queen stood up and said softly: "Your Majesty, Concubine Nian is an impatient person. She is even more anxious and confused these days. She can't turn this corner. Your Majesty, please go and have a rest. I will take her back with you."
Go to Kunning Palace and talk about the truth! Come to think of it, Concubine Nian is not a completely unreasonable person."
As she spoke, she turned to look at Concubine Nian and sighed: "Sister Concubine Nian! You are quite old. Although you have never given birth and have no knowledge of the hard work of a mother, you are inevitably more delicate. But at your age, in the end,
She is no longer the little girl in the boudoir.
Everything the emperor said is true and reasonable. You and I will return to Kunning Palace, and I will slowly explain the truth to you."
The young concubine's face was ashen, and she looked at Uranala with empty eyes.
She fell to the ground exhausted, just shook her head over and over again, and said numbly: "No! If I don't go back, I will be here. I beg the emperor to have mercy on me, and pardon my people. I beg the emperor to have mercy!"
The queen's face gradually became serious, and she slowly shook her head and said: "Concubine Nian! As a concubine of the emperor, you are wearing eunuch clothes like this today. It is inappropriate and nonsense! In addition, you left the Yikun Palace without permission, the emperor
There is a limit to pitying you and tolerating me again and again, can’t you see that?”
