Early morning. Misty Pavilion.
"Beauty is easy to grow old and grieve for white hair.”The most beautiful thing was the red face. When the flowers were tender, blooming or dying, it was not beautiful no matter how one described it. No matter how one described it, it was not beautiful enough. How could it not be beautiful?
I caressed the soft silver hair. I didn't know what it felt like to have my hair turned white. I only knew that when Xuan Ling looked at me with regret, when those deep eyes only lingered on me, I felt that whatever I did was worth it.
I don't understand what love is. I will be jealous, I will be angry, I will hate. Because of this person, Xuan Ling. My heart will ache, I will be sad, I will be gentle. Because of this person, Xuan Ling.
If I still love him, but this love has almost caused me to calculate everything. If I don't love him, I clearly don't have a dead end, but I keep asking for his gentleness.
Youth is fleeting, fleeting years, who will share the year with me? When will you come back? I only sigh.
"Little Master! Little Lord, Empress Wan Fei is already a month pregnant.”Little Shunzi hurriedly walked in front of me and bowed respectfully.
Bao Juan said gloomily,"Why does Wanfei get all the good things?"”His hands, which were originally obediently tending to the pot of ink lotus, were now furiously cutting here and there.
Ju Qing said lightly,"Aunt Baojuan, this is the famous flower, Mo He!" Please show mercy!" Her beautiful face froze.
Bao Juan's pretty face turned red and she remained silent.
Hui Xue sat on the wooden chair and ate the osmanthus cake happily. She didn't care about anything and didn't understand anything. Since the Empress was seriously ill, Hui Xue had been sent back to the Misty Pavilion. No matter what, it was a good thing. Unfortunately, she couldn't speak or write. Asking her about the Empress's situation was useless. Even if she knew something, I didn't understand what her sign language meant.
Xu Wanhai bowed and said calmly,"Young Master, the harem hasn't produced anyone for a long time. No matter what, it's a good thing!"”Everyone looked at Xu Wanhai inexplicably, not understanding how this was a good thing.
I paused for a moment, raised my eyebrows and said coldly,"This child came too timely."”
Ju Qing sneered,"After all, Empress Wan Fei has been with Xuan Ling for nearly three years. This child has indeed come at the right time."”Her originally clear eyes burned with a gloomy flame, and the little girl who loved to smile became silent.
Bao Juan sighed,"Little Lord, when Long Si is born, Wan Fei's confinement will be lifted, right?"”
Everyone couldn't help but look at each other. Xu Wanhai deliberated and said," Little Lord, Empress Wan Fei has never been on good terms with the other concubines in the harem. This-"
I said without changing my expression,"Just give me some jewelry."”Previously, I only gave her calligraphy and paintings during the consort ceremony. Now that Zhen Huan is pregnant, if anything happens in the future, it's hard to say who will be blamed.
Xu Wanhai nodded respectfully and went to the storeroom to choose and prepare.
The harem had not produced anyone for a long time. Concubine Jing had Wen Yi, Concubine Xin Gui had Diji Shuhe, and the eldest son was now being raised by the Empress Dowager. Now that the Empress Dowager was seriously ill, it would be fine if the Empress Dowager did not make a move. Once she made a move, it would hit the vital points.
I have also been in the palace for nearly three years. The reason why I don't have any children is that I have been secretly taking pills to prevent pregnancy. Perhaps modern thinking had not changed. If I want to have a child, I must make him happy and healthy.
The favor of the harem is like taking chestnuts from a fire. It's not an exaggeration to lick blood from a knife. As a small Wanyi, even if I have Xuan Ling's protection and love, it's easy to dodge an open spear but difficult to guard against a hidden arrow. How can I bear, give birth, and raise them? Sigh!
Tangli Palace.
Wen Shi had just stepped forward to check his pulse and had just left. Zhen Huan sat in front of the bronze mirror and gently stroked her belly. She chuckled and said," Jingqing, do you think this is a boy or a girl?"”His expression was filled with anticipation.
Jing Qing stared at Zhen Huan's gentle and clear eyes. He felt disgusted, but he still looked proud." No matter if the Empress gives birth to a boy or a girl, she will be the heir of the Heavenly Family!"”
Jin Xi, however, had a worried expression as she said," Your Majesty, the Empress and the Empress Dowager are both seriously ill. You've been pampered for a long time, and you've been holding grudges for a long time. I'm afraid this-"
Zhen Huan angrily grabbed the jewelry box and smashed it on Jin Xi's face. Her eyes were filled with disdain as she sneered," Are you trying to say that I can't give birth to this child? Hmm?"
Her fair forehead was already bleeding. Jin Xi knelt on the ground in pain and said in fear," Your Majesty, this servant doesn't dare! It's just that the Empress is still under house arrest, the Emperor…"
" Pa!" A resounding slap mercilessly landed on Jin Xi's tearful face. Her ten slender fingers, which were wearing exquisite golden armor, cut open a bloody wound on her jade-like face. It was a shocking sight.
Zhen Huan smiled smugly and said,"You don't deserve to go against me!" She's just a lowly servant! Do you think that just because you have a bit of beauty, you can point fingers in front of bengong? BenGong will tell you! Bengong is the one the emperor loves! Moreover, bengong is pregnant with a dragon heir, the emperor will definitely come to see bengong!”Her face was covered in thick perfume powder, and because of her ferocious expression, there were many ravines that did not belong to a woman in her prime. Her hands that were holding her stomach looked almost crazy.
Jin Xi held her wound in pain. Her heart was sour and tears kept flowing down, but she still did not give up. In order to meet the Emperor, Liu Zhu had already died on the tip of a guard's knife! Empress! This servant did it all for you!" Blood and tears flowed down, and every word was sincere.
Zhen Huan looked at Jin Xi's face full of blood and tears, and she couldn't bear it and felt happy. Zhen Huan put her hands behind her back and sneered," What a loyal servant! It's been hard on you. If Liu Zhu dies, then so be it. At most, bengong will give her a lavish burial in the future! Moreover bengong has a dragon heir, Liu Zhu should have done his best for bengong's elder brother!”Zhen Huan's indifferent attitude provoked the loyal Jinxi and the vengeful Jing Qing.
Back then, Zhen Huan's indifferent attitude had caused Xueqing's death, and the so-called 'doing her best' she had mentioned was to make these slaves pay with their lives!
Jing Qing smiled faintly and coaxed,"Why must the Empress be angry with Aunt Jin Xi?" Now that the Empress is pregnant with a dragon heir, she must not be angry. Otherwise, how can the Empress's weak body endure it?”Jing Qing twisted her handkerchief with an anxious and loyal expression.
After Zhen Huan heard this, she restrained her temper and smiled gently." That's true. I can't get angry easily now. Otherwise, what should I do if I hurt my heir?" In case someone wanted to hit him while he was down, hmph!”Zhen Huan looked at Jing Qing with satisfaction and smiled even more proudly, as if she could already see her beautiful life in the future.
Jin Xi looked at Zhen Huan in a daze, her heart aching. This was no longer the innocent and kind Little Lord Wan. She had become a demon who treated human lives like grass! Her hands unconsciously caressed the burning wound. Warm blood was still flowing out, just like her heart, dripping with blood.
Zhen Huan's eyes flashed with disgust. She waved her hand impatiently and said," Look at your bloody appearance! You only know how to make Bengong angry! Hurry up and retreat!" His tone was like scolding a dog, disdainful and contemptuous.
Jin Xi smiled sadly and said,"I will take my leave."”She was no longer the Aunt Jinxi of the past. The shrewd and intelligent woman had been destroyed by Zhen Huan.
In the evening. Misty Pavilion.
Qiao Hui bowed respectfully and smiled." Little Lord, Lady Jing Fei has come to visit Little Lord."”Xuan Ling has already given the order to remove my confinement. However, Xuan Ling had previously scolded the people in the harem because of my miscarriage. I don't know how many people hold a grudge against me. However, coincidentally, the Empress is seriously ill and the Empress Dowager is critically ill. Under Xuan Ling's suppression, no one in the inner palace dares to cause trouble for a while. I will recuperate in peace and not leave the house.
Consort Jing had a smile on her face as she gracefully walked in front of me. She calmly sat down and repeatedly sized me up with a kind gaze.
I sat in front of the heater, embroidering a chrysanthemum needle by needle. Without changing my expression, I said," Qiaoyue, look at the tea.”
Consort Jing smiled elegantly,"Long time no see, Sister An. How have you been?"”
I raised my eyebrows and said coldly,"What do you think?"”
Consort Jing sighed helplessly.”He took the hot tea from Qiao Yue with both hands and took a sip. Is there anything else you feel uncomfortable about?" Her expression was full of concern, and her eyes were slightly red.
I said without changing my expression,"Even if it's not good, it should be good after so long."”
Consort Jing laughed,"I didn't expect you to be so open-minded!"”After a pause, he shook his head and said," No, you can't let it go. Otherwise, why would you have a beautiful face and white hair? Otherwise, why would he commit suicide?"
I raised my eyebrows and said lightly," Tired of living."
Consort Jing sighed. This doesn't sound like something you, An Wanyi, would say! However, neither Consort Hui nor I expected that you would be so ruthless!”His eyes were filled with disbelief.
I said lightly," If you don't have it, then forget it. But since you have it, why would you lose it?”
Consort Jing sighed with emotion,"Gains and losses are like this, the world is unpredictable!" How can everything go as you wish? But seeing your current state, I know that you're fine! You're still young. What can't you overcome? Seeing you regain your confidence, Consort Hui and I can rest assured!”Consort Jing's expression was sincere and moved.
A purple chrysanthemum gradually took shape, and I said indifferently,"Forget it." Forget it, everything is fate!"
Consort Jing burst out laughing." Your tone, your attitude, if you weren't sitting in front of me doing embroidery, I would have thought you had become an immortal! The most precious thing in life is life. Sister, don't be so stupid in the future!”
I raised my eyebrows and said coldly,"People will die sooner or later in this world. It's just that this death is lighter than a feather or heavier than Mount Tai."”
Consort Jing said gloomily,"You made me worry for you!" I'm always on tenterhooks every day, afraid that something will happen to you! You're so indifferent now!”
I said lightly,"Thank you!" Isn't it enough for you to worry about Wen Yi?”
Consort Jing thought of Wen Yi and smiled gently."Wen Yi is a good child." She paused for a moment, knowing that she had misspoken. She sized me up without leaving a trace. Seeing that I didn't care, she continued,"Now Consort Wan has a time to faint. When the three of you entered the palace together, you didn't expect that in the end, sigh!"”
I raised my eyebrows and said,"Wan Fei is so lucky. This child is coming one after another, ah?"”
Consort Jing said lightly,"Just wait and see. She was so arrogant before and now she's imprisoned. I can't think of anyone who would treat her sincerely!" It was already a great blessing that he did not have any grudges!”
I said indifferently,"This is not within my scope of concern. As you said, she is imprisoned. I'm afraid she is waiting for the emperor!"”
Consort Jing sneered,"In the inner palace, there are more than one person who is looking forward to the emperor." For example, the four nobles, Fu Qi and Xiang Rui, had just entered the palace. This momentum could not be reduced for a while!”
I put down the needle and thread in my hand and turned to look at the sky outside the window. The endless haze was probably coming. I said lightly,"Sister Feng, it looks like it's going to rain." Sister Feng still had to take care of Wen Yi. It was better to go back early!”
Consort Jing looked out of the window and said regretfully,"This weather, it's either snowing or raining. It's so annoying!" Fortunately, it was almost the new year, and spring would come!”His tone was gratified, as if he was implying something.
I said lightly,"Which tourist doesn't love spring?"”
Consort Jing smiled elegantly and sighed. Speaking of this, he was very anxious! The Empress Dowager is seriously ill, and the Empress is also seriously ill.”
I held her hands and said lightly,"Sister Feng, don't be afraid!" We'll deal with whatever comes our way. What should come will come! As long as you can withstand it!"
Consort Jing was moved and smiled, her eyes slightly moist. She didn't know whether to laugh or cry." I've spent most of my life in the harem. What storms haven't I seen? With this determination, I can rest assured!”
The cold night breeze blew into the warm inner room. In a short while, raindrops covered the sky and covered the earth. I said lightly," Sister, go back quickly! The weather is getting worse!"
Consort Jing adjusted her collar and smiled lightly." Forget it, I'll go back. Wen Yi, this child, won't obediently eat without me." Younger Sister, take care of your body. Don't take things too hard!”Consort Jing pulled my hand and earnestly instructed.
It was night. Chuxiu Palace. The room was warm and fragrant.
Noble Qi was dressed in a moon-white dress, elegant and elegant. Her jet-black hair was tied up into two loose strands. A few strands of hair fell down mischievously, making her look even more beautiful with new makeup. A few plump and round pearls were casually embellished in her hair, making her dark cloud-like hair appear even more soft and moist. Her slender fingers fiddled with the brown lute. Her love was like a weeping cry, like a lingering wind and mist, crisp like pearls and jade, like a beauty whispering by her ear. Her beautiful eyes were filled with splendor, and her red lips were filled with a light smile.
Xuan Ling leaned lazily on the soft couch. Her plain cloud pattern Su embroidery had a soft luster. Her exquisite round neck was inlaid with precious Eastern pearls that snaked up to her waist. Her black hair was wearing a golden crown inlaid with white jade. Her thick eyebrows were raised slightly. Under her long and slightly curly eyelashes was a pair of deep eyes that were as elusive as Wang Yang. His handsome face looked at the woman in front of him playfully.
Noble Qi smiled ambiguously, her eyes filled with indescribable softness and lust.
Suddenly, the tune started to lower, and it was a little hazy and ambiguous. Xuan Ling closed her eyes and listened. Perhaps it was because the ambergris was too fragrant, or perhaps it was because the silver charcoal was too warm, Xuan Ling elegantly took off her outer robe and leaned comfortably on the soft couch.
The melody became more lively, like a beauty's lingering kiss, lightly landing on your forehead, then caressing your cheek, and finally rubbing against your ear, murmuring endlessly. Every sound was sweet and secret.
Xuan Ling unconsciously chuckled. Perhaps it was because the inner room was too hot, Xuan Ling could not help but open her clothes, her actions lazy and evil.
Noble Qi's jade-like face was dyed red. She looked at Xuan Ling affectionately. She wanted to complain but did not. Her jade-like hand tilted up and the tone was also relaxed. She was like a lover stretching out her gentle hand and getting drunk with her.
Xuan Ling only felt a burning flame erupting in his heart. He yearned to be released and escape from this soul-stirring zither music.
。The harem is really going to do anything to win favor. However, as the emperor, I don't know how and when she learned it. Oh, should I sigh that the harem is not controlled by the empress, so the demons run amok? However, when the beauty's face was covered in tears, a cold and exquisite face flashed across my mind. It was another rainy night. I wonder if she would still foolishly lean against the door and wait for me? However, she felt very melancholic in her heart.
Misty Pavilion.
The cold rain trickled down my wrist, and my heart became lonely.
Little Shunzi sighed helplessly in his heart and advised," Little Master, you should rest. The Emperor is staying in Chuxiu Palace tonight. Besides, it's windy and rainy outside. Little Master, your body can't take it!"”
I leaned against the mahogany door and said numbly,"Really?" Chuxiu Palace? Noble Qi?"
Xiao Shunzi sighed softly," Little Lord, you should go rest. It's late at night, the Emperor has already rested!”
I turned a deaf ear to it as I looked up at the dark and heavy night sky. There were only lights and raindrops falling from the sky. They dripped onto the roof, landed on my palm, and slid across my arm. It was cold. In the puddles, on the leaves, on the stone slabs, on the jade walls, and on the tiles. A gust of wind blew, causing a crisp sound to shake. Ding, dong, ding. In this lonely and cold night, it awakened the sadness of a heartbroken person. Perhaps only the red candle tears would be able to accompany me warmly until dawn.
Little Shunzi looked at me with hesitation and didn't dare to say anything more.
In my memory, the rain was very quiet. There was a hint of coldness in the misty rain, and my heart was cold and moist. He walked towards me with a smile, bringing me warmth and hope. He said that he would protect me for the rest of my life.
He would not be coming tonight. I didn't hesitate any longer and turned around to enter the inner room.
Xiao Shunzi smiled happily and followed closely behind.
I leisurely sat on the pear blossom wooden chair, tasting a cup of lonely fragrant tea.
Xu Wanhai walked forward indifferently and bowed respectfully.”Although he was already old, time had given him the wisdom that had accumulated over the years.
I put down the teacup and coldly said,"The Empress Dowager is seriously ill because of the Regent Prince and the 14th Prince."”
Xiao Shunzi couldn't wait to ask,"Then what about the Empress?" Although the Empress had always had a headache, she would not be so uninvolved in the affairs of the world. It could be said that she was isolated from the world!”
A shrewd light flashed in Xu Wanhai's eyes as he deliberated." Young Master, the Empress's illness is too coincidental and inappropriate! However, this servant couldn't explain why.”
"No matter what, the Empress won't let me go." Recently, I have a feeling that something is going to happen.”The last time he felt this uneasy was when Abihuai was imprisoned. What about this time?
Xu Wanhai and Xiao Shunzi looked at each other with a tacit understanding and said lightly," But now that Wan Fei is pregnant, even the Empress can't spare her hands!”
I touched my forehead and coldly said,"How could the Empress Dowager allow the Empress to lose her power?" The Empress Dowager was seriously ill, and as the Empress, she was supposed to attend to her illness, but the Empress claimed to be ill and did not leave the palace gates. With the Empress Dowager's shrewdness, she must have discovered something we don't know!”
Xu Wanhai was deep in thought, and Little Shunzi was also puzzled.
The sound of the hourglass passing by stirred the hearts of the people.
Xu Wanhai seemed to have thought of something and said in shock,"The Empress is in trouble. The Empress Dowager is helpless!"”
In the quiet night, other than the pitter-patter of the rain, there was only the sound of a heart beating in his chest. The Empress was in trouble? Why? A country's empress was in trouble? Who did it? (Author I, hehe)
Little Shunzi touched his heart and mumbled," Master, disciple is timid. This, this is too exaggerated, right?”In this world, who could make things difficult for an empress? And it was the Empress of the Vermilion Gate!
Xu Wanhai said," Little Master, I'm afraid there will be changes in the next few days! The Empress Dowager is critically ill. This servant has inquired about the Imperial Academy of Medicine before, but they didn't reveal a single word! As for Jingren Palace, not even a fly could fly in!”After saying that, she looked at me nervously.
Little Shunzi also said worriedly," The harem is too quiet now, so quiet that it's scary!”
I raised my eyebrows and said coldly,"Forget it, pay attention to the movements of the harem first. If there is anything, report it in time!" You can all leave. I'm tired." After saying that, she closed her eyes tiredly and did not say a word.
Xu Wanhai and Xiao Shunzi sighed deeply in their hearts, bowed respectfully and retreated.
There must be something wrong with this abnormal situation. Since it was already here, let's just take it as it is!
The lamp is like throwing red beans during the day, and the moon is curved in the sky. Who is thin?
Shilan, how are you now? I'm so tired and bitter.
Mom, I miss you so much. Mom, if you were still by my side, I definitely wouldn't have to suffer so much. If you were still by my side, I would be able to endure anything.
Mother, are you alright? Is Father treating you well? How are you doing now? Is your body still strong?
Aunt Xiao, I miss you so much. How is Brother Yunzhan? How are you doing now?
I lay on the cold bed, but countless faces flashed across my riddled heart. I chose to touch the gentle pain again and again in the cold rainy night. I want to cry. I feel so wronged. Why wasn't the man I love by my side when I was weak? Why is it that the family I miss never meet again? Why do I have to live so tiredly every day? Why did it rain tonight? The cold wind and rain made my loneliness and fragility so clear. I couldn't escape the prison of the night. I was trapped in this endless loneliness. I have tears, but they were lost in that year. I don't know if there's anyone like me, but my heart still hurts when my tears fall. No matter how sad I cry, no matter how I vent, I cry insincerely!
It was raining, but my clean face was already drenched. The transparent rain pierced through my soul. In the pain of death, I looked forward to the dawn. Perhaps tomorrow would be sunny and his life would be warm.
The next day. Yongshou Palace.
The Empress Dowager leaned tiredly on the soft couch and looked at the woman kneeling on the ground like an old woman. She was angry and heartbroken as she scolded," Do you know how much effort this widow spent to save you?”
His once jet-black hair was now mottled with black and white. His skin was loose and sallow. His eyes were dull, and the corners of his mouth were bitter. His gorgeous phoenix robe was full of wrinkles. He smacked his lips and lost his ability to speak as skillfully as before. His expression was haggard.
The Empress Dowager's heart ached and she couldn't help but cough heavily. It was as if her guts were breaking in the inner residence. Zhu Xi's eyes were bright and quick as she gently patted the Empress Dowager's back and comforted her,"Empress Dowager, don't be angry and damage your body. Perhaps the Empress is frightened!"”However, she was bewildered. How did the Empress who was once the mother of the world become like this?。
The Empress Dowager slapped the bed fiercely and angrily said," What's wrong with you, Empress! Tell aijia everything clearly, why have you become like this?”His sharp eyes were fixed on the Empress, who was already trembling.
The Empress 'expression became more and more frightened. Her lips trembled as she looked around in panic. No one knew what she was thinking.
The Empress Dowager looked at the woman in front of her in disbelief. She could not believe that in less than a month, the once graceful and noble Empress had become like this! The Empress Dowager's anger could not be contained. Shouldn't you say something to aijia? Who did this to you? The emperor?"
When the Empress heard the word " Emperor ", it was as if the most tense string in her mind had been pulled by someone. Fear flashed across her dull eyes, and her slender body trembled like a sieve. However, she did not dare to say anything, only trembling non-stop with a terrified expression.
The Empress Dowager and Zhu Xi looked at each other and said in surprise," Did the Emperor do something to you? Tell aijia what happened? Aijia will help you!" The empress dowager was confident and high-spirited. How dare the Emperor treat the Empress like this! Do you really think aijia is dead? He coughed heavily again.
The Empress was deeply provoked by the word 'emperor' and dragged out all the secrets in her heart. The Empress said in a daze," I killed Zhu Rouze, and I still want to kill An Lingrong!”Her voice was soft, but she looked like she didn't know what was going on.
The Empress Dowager was shocked and said anxiously,"How dare you!" What are you talking about? The Empress! Do you know what you're saying?" In the end, this widow has let down the Pure Yuan Realm! Sigh! He just didn't expect the Empress to become like this. What a sin!
The Empress was frightened by the Empress Dowager's ferocity. Her heart exploded and her blood froze. She hurriedly hid under the table and covered her ears. She closed her eyes tightly and kept trembling.
When the Empress Dowager saw this scene, she felt a heavy feeling in her chest, suppressing her breathing. She was so angry that she could not move up or down. Her cold face changed color several times, and she finally spat out a mouthful of blood. She fell weakly into Zhu Xi's arms. Her face was pale as she kept inhaling, and it was difficult for her to breathe.
Zhu Xi's eyes were wet as she anxiously said,"Empress Dowager!" Empress Dowager, how are you? Empress Dowager! This servant will go get a doctor for you…"
The Empress Dowager tightly gripped Zhuxi's hand and said with difficulty," Don't go. Aijia's body, aijia, is clear, don't go-"
Bamboo breath heart pain, old tears crisscross way,"Empress Dowager, this servant will go to the doctor for you!" You'll definitely be fine!"
The Empress Dowager laughed sarcastically,"We've been through all kinds of storms, but now, I'm afraid I can't endure it!"”Once upon a time, she was the glorious Consort Lin and the Empress Dowager of the Great Zhou Dynasty. She had the most noble status among the women in the world. Now that she was here, she still had to scheme and scheme for benefits!
Zhu Xi wiped away her tears and sighed." Empress Dowager, you've overcome all difficulties. You'll definitely be able to overcome them!”However, Zhu Xi knew very well that the empress dowager was probably in trouble.
The empress dowager only looked at the empress expressionlessly. She was like a wizened person, lying under the table without any backbone. She was trembling and delirious. The Empress Dowager looked at the Empress and felt disappointed. She said without a trace of emotion," The Empress must be, must be surnamed Zhu."”His eyes flickered with terrifying flames, and his expression was uncertain.
Zhu Xi felt helpless and emotional, but he didn't know what to say. His furrowed brows revealed the thoughts of an old woman.
Not yet. Misty Pavilion.
Ju Qing smiled,"Little Lord, Concubine Hui is here to visit you!"”
I sat on the soft couch and played chess alone. I didn't even raise my head and said lightly,"Please-"
Concubine Hui was dressed in a red peony green silk dress. The dress was full of elegant peonies, and her hair was combed into a dignified and luxurious bun. On her left temple was a gold silk ruby Buyao, a gold silk eight-treasure pearl hairpin, and a large pink silk flower standing in her hair. Her appearance was charming. Mei Zhuang elegantly held Cai Xing's hand and walked towards me with a faint smile.
"Are you feeling better?" Mei Zhuang sat down calmly and smiled with concern. There was a faint pity in her eyes.
I carefully placed a piece and lightly said,"Sister Mei, don't worry, I'm fine."”
Bao Ying considerately served a cup of hot tea and bowed before leaving. Mei Zhuang gave a dignified smile and said,"When this happened to you before, it made me and Jing Fei jiejie very anxious!" Sister, don't be so silly in the future!”
I couldn't deny it," Before this is before, I haven't congratulated you on your promotion.”After saying that, he stood up calmly and bowed respectfully.
Mei Zhuang quickly helped me up and smiled." Forget it, forget it. Why are you so polite between us?”
I lightly said,"Sister Mei is polite, but Ling Rong must be polite."”
Mei Zhuang smiled helplessly. Sigh! It's still easier here. You play the zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting every day, and your days aren't boring!”Mei Zhuang's pretty face was faintly envious.
I raised my eyebrows and said coldly,"Sister Mei is a noble person. Naturally, she can't be idle, and Ling Rong can only rely on these to pass the time!"”
Mei Zhuang laughed and said,"Come on! I want to be like you!" He paused and looked at me worriedly, then sighed." Sigh, I didn't expect that it has been almost three years since I entered the palace. These days are really hard to bear!”
I placed a piece down and sighed," Yes, it's almost three years. How many three years are there in life?”
Mei Zhuang smiled lightly,"In my heart, you were the most transparent, but I didn't expect you to be so stubborn!" Fate is playing tricks on us!"
I said lightly,"Sister Mei has also experienced these things. I believe you will understand me."”
Mei Zhuang said dejectedly," I've experienced all of this, so I understand you. I just didn't expect you to be so resolute and staunch. No one in the harem can compare to you in this aspect!”
I said coldly,"That's all in the past. Sister Mei, don't worry. Ling Rong will take care of himself in the future!"”
Mei Zhuang's eyes were slightly red as she reached out to touch my silver hair. She choked,"Do you still remember that I said you were the most unique woman in the harem?" I just didn't expect that I would end a woman's kindness before she was old. It actually happened to you!”
I lightly said,"Sister Youmei is so considerate of Ling Rong, what else is Ling Rong not satisfied with?"”
Mei Zhuang looked at the beautiful and indifferent woman in front of her and sighed. These days felt like a lifetime to me! I'm really tired!"
I said lightly,"This is the harem. You and I are just people in the game."”
Mei Zhuang laughed sarcastically,"Sometimes I really envy Concubine Hua who set herself on fire. The longer I stay in the harem, the more I understand some principles. I used to hate Hua Fei. Although I can't forgive her now, I don't hate her anymore! As you said, we are all in the game!”Her beautiful eyebrows furrowed slightly, her watery eyes glistening with tears, and her red lips mocking.
I sighed in my heart. Mei Zhuang, you have changed. I said lightly,"This is fate." Other people's lives have ended, but our lives continue. Sister Mei, you still say that I'm stupid. Are you going to give up too?”
Mei Zhuang took a sip of hot tea and smiled elegantly. I, Shen Mei Zhuang, didn't forget my oath, how dare I! How could this be! What if I give up?" Her coquettish face was full of charm, but it hid a fatal ruthlessness.
I raised my eyebrows and said coldly,"Now that the Empress Dowager is seriously ill, the Empress is also seriously ill. This harem is becoming more and more chaotic!"”
Mei Zhuang sized me up and said doubtfully," Previously, the emperor punished all the concubines in the harem for your miscarriage, but I watched coldly. The emperor doesn't seem to dote on you! On the other hand, he had been doting on the four nobles recently! Moreover, Zhen Huan was pregnant and the Emperor had never gone to see her!”
My heart skipped a beat, but my expression did not change. Who knows what will happen in the future?"
Mei Zhuang didn't care and smiled,"Do you think I don't know what kind of person the emperor is?" When I was falsely accused of being pregnant, the emperor did not believe me at all. He did not even allow me to explain! He had always doted on Zhen Huan! Even if Zhen Huan was imprisoned in Tangli Palace, only the Emperor himself knew what he was thinking!”
I lightly said,"The king is heartless!" I'm just a concubine!”
Mei Zhuang smiled coldly." The Empress Dowager and Empress are seriously ill. Who knows what trouble will happen next!" However, I don't care about anything now. Even if I have to die, I'll drag Zhen Huan and Wen Shichu with me!”Her slender fingers gripped the edge of the wooden chair tightly. Her charming face was almost distorted, and her eyes were burning with hatred.
I sighed,"Why are you doing this?"”
Mei Zhuang smiled bitterly,"Ling Rong, you don't understand."”She paused and looked at the sky outside the window. She said gently," It's getting late. I should go back." Ling Rong, your body is weak, take good care of yourself!”
A few days later.
