Bright Spring

Zhu Gaoxu said: "Why is the queen mother sad?"

Mrs. Zhang gave Zhu Gaoxu a blank look: "My mother is reluctant to part with you! Once the new year is over, isn't the second uncle going to Yunnan?"

"Yes, my son is dull." Zhu Gaoxu bowed to Empress Xu.

Empress Xu sighed lightly.

Empress Xu probably disapproved of letting Zhu Gaoxu go to Yunnan, thousands of miles away, to become a vassal; but she didn't have the final say on everything about her children.

A few people in Kunning Palace somehow mentioned Zhong Shan again, Miao Jin heard it, remembered something, and almost lost her composure in public.

They talked for a long time, and Zhu Gaoxu was about to leave.This time Miao Jin didn't go out to see him off, it was very inconvenient in the palace, not to mention Mrs. Zhang was present today.Miao Jin felt that the princess was very thoughtful and thoughtful. With Mrs. Zhang around, she was always very cautious.

But Miao Jin couldn't help guessing again: Gao Xu mentioned New Year's Eve and Zhong Shan today, implying that she went out of the palace for a tryst on New Year's Eve?

For a moment she was entangled in her mind.After leaving Kunning Palace, she didn't quite remember how she walked back to her residence, and she was completely absent-minded about the things around her.

Before Miaojin grew up, she always believed that she was a person who abided by ethics.All the words written on the book, and everyone told her that the most important thing for a woman is chastity, which is even more serious than a man's loyalty to his father...even if it is the filthy little book in the Beiping wine cellar, When it was written about unfaithful women, the process was written in detail, but it was also called a shameless slut with a kind of scorn.No matter who in the family, especially her mother, when talking about women who do not obey women's ways, they also speak very badly.

So even if she was sent to Beiping to be a spy, she was careful not to commit herself to the King of Yan; because Jianwen's monarch and ministers had told her that she would become Jianwen's imperial concubine after she was done.

But later, he got confused and had an unspeakable affair with Zhu Gaoxu!

Afterwards, she gradually began to regret it, but unfortunately she couldn't change the fact.Her father Jing Qing was assassinated, but she survived, but she had to face an embarrassing situation: she and Empress Xu were righteous sisters, and they were also monks, and they were in filial piety.In what capacity should she face the King of Han, and what happened to her?

Miao Jin was very confused by what had happened.If she wants to continue her tryst with Zhu Gaoxu right now, she doesn't know how to convince herself that everything goes against her concept of right and wrong.

Miao Jin has been restrained from thinking about what happened in the ruined temple in Zhongshan, because she thinks it is shameless to think about it.But today Zhu Gaoxu dialed it secretly again, and she couldn't help but recall what happened to Zhong Shan for a while...

"Master Chi Yue, please." Suddenly an eunuch said.

Miao Jin was startled, trembled slightly, turned her head to look at the eunuch, and walked into the courtyard coldly.As soon as the wind blew, she felt that her robe was cold, so she hurried back to the bedroom and changed into a small one.

……

For the next whole month in the twelfth lunar month, for some reason, Miao Jin remembered what happened to Zhong Shan several times.It is easier to think of it in the dead of night.

On New Year's Eve, Miaojin came to Empress Xu by some mysterious error and asked for an order to go home and visit her mother on New Year's Eve.Empress Xu immediately agreed.

Miao Jin came up with an excuse when she left the palace in a carriage dispatched by the queen: after the new year, the King of Han was leaving, so she should say goodbye to him... Miao Jin couldn't lie to herself, she didn't want to go home as a monk When I asked for the decree, I was full of thoughts about the King of Han.

Back at Jing Mansion, the scene in the mansion was the same as before, but there seemed to be fewer servants.Mrs. Jing was blessed by the Holy Grace, and got a royal wife with a salary, and the Jing family also had some property accumulation; but it was still not as good as when Miaojin's father was there.

Her mother took Miao Jin, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, talked for nearly an hour, and then took her to burn blessing papers for her late father.Miao Jin personally filled out the words on the cover of a pack of paper money: My late father, Jing Gong, had a posthumous posthumous title of Zhonglie...

My mother said that if I didn't write well, my father would not receive it if it was burned to the underworld. Miaojin had to copy it on white paper repeatedly, and doing such things made her even more ashamed.After tossing all afternoon, Miao Jin had no chance to escape.At this time, she even felt that it was fine if she didn't have a chance to say goodbye to King Han!

After dinner, fireworks bloomed over the capital, and the night sky on the horizon was illuminated red by the lights of the city.This year is the first year of the new emperor's accession to the throne. The imperial court seems to deliberately create a scene of prosperity, and the festival is more prosperous than previous years.

Her mother said that she didn't dare to go out for a whole year, and she heard that the lantern market tonight was very lively, so she asked Miao Jin to accompany her to the lantern market, and Miao Jin had to agree.

So they went out in a carriage with their servants and maidservants, but they couldn't get in outside the Lantern Market because it was crowded with people inside.Everyone had to get out of the car and walk around.

Sure enough, the street was as bright as daytime, with countless large and small lanterns, and fire dragons dancing among them, and the gongs and drums were beating loudly, making it very noisy.Seeing this scene, Miao Jin couldn't help but think of the artistic conception of "Geng blowing and falling stars like rain" and "One night fish and dragon dance" in the poem.If she was a child, she must have been very happy, but now she is not very interested.

At this moment, a voice said: "Madam, should I buy a palace lantern? It's very cheap."

"No, go!" The servant girl immediately blocked the man.

Miao Jin's voice sounded familiar, but when she turned her head to look, she saw that the sturdy man holding a few lamps turned out to be the eunuch Wang Gui!He put a beard on his mouth, but Miao Jin recognized it at a glance, and she immediately froze for a moment.

Wang Gui looked at Miao Jin, raised the lantern and pointed to the side.Miao Jin looked in the direction and saw Zhu Gaoxu standing in the crowd of people on the street!

Miao Jin suddenly felt a "dong dong dong" ringing in her heart.She walked a few steps forward, and then she came to a stall selling palace lanterns, and her mother's voice behind her said: "Don't look, come here quickly."

At this moment, a group of people crowded over, and Miao Jin took the opportunity to dodge into the place where countless palace lanterns were hung.She searched left and right, and saw Zhu Gaoxu standing at the entrance of an alley, her face was red, and she walked over with her head buried.

The two walked back and forth into the alley, and the light inside was dim.Fireworks occasionally bloom in the sky, illuminating the interior brightly.

After walking for a while, Zhu Gaoxu stopped, and when Miao Jin passed by, he said: "I waited outside the gate of Jing Mansion all afternoon, thinking you would not come out."

"I didn't go out at first, because there was no chance." Miao Jin said softly, "Later, my mother was going to visit the Lantern Market, and she happened to see Wang Gui... You are leaving, so I wanted to say goodbye."

Zhu Gaoxu responded, and took her to a secluded place, where a felt cart was parked, but there was no groom.Wang Gui didn't know where he went.

Zhu Gaoxu walked into the carriage without saying a word, turned his head and said softly, "Come up."

Miao Jin hesitated for a moment, and had no choice but to get on the carriage.The light in this place is not good, and the felt car is completely covered, so it is too dark to see clearly.

"It won't be too long to part. However, there are many people here, and the journey will take a long time. I'm afraid you will be recognized." Zhu Gaoxu said, "I will take people to Yunnan first, and after I have arranged everything, I will definitely come to pick you up as soon as possible. "

Miao Jin said: "I don't want to stay in the capital either. If there is a suitable Taoist temple in Yunnan, I will go."

"Taoist temple?" Zhu Gaoxu asked in surprise, "What kind of Taoist priest is Miaojin?"

"I'm originally a Taoist." Miao Jin said.

Zhu Gaoxu was silent for a long time, then said: "Let's talk in another place, if I hadn't been in a hurry, I wouldn't have met you here."

Miao Jin blushed and said: "I went out with my family. I'm afraid it's not good to be 'separated' for too long. How can I go somewhere else? How can I explain that I went back late?"

She sighed, and said softly: "I know what King Han meant, and I don't blame you, I only blame myself for being frivolous..."

Zhu Gaoxu said: "I really don't know what Miao Jin is thinking. Your surname is Jing, and it has nothing to do with my family. I wish there was nothing wrong with your love. Don't you know my mind now?"

Miao Jin shook her head and said: "This is the end of the matter, I'm disheartened, I just want to be a Taoist priest but I'm dying... King of Han, don't!"

"Hush! It's not good to be overheard later." Zhu Gaoxu said in a voice.

Miao Jin hurriedly lowered her voice, tremblingly said: "You can't treat me like this..."

(Sorry everyone, there is not enough time for coding on weekends, and I can only change it once a day for two days on weekends. I hope you understand.)

Chapter 196 I Will Be Back

/p>"Dong Dong Bang..." The sound of gongs and drums suddenly became very loud.Perhaps the sound had always been loud, and she had only heard it again now; she had been in a fog for a long time, and she was in a trance.

Then, the fireworks made a "swish" scream, and a moment later they exploded with a "bang" in the air, and even the inside of the felt car was slightly lit.With this faint light, she looked down at herself, her face became hotter and hotter, she hurriedly struggled to raise her weak hand, and pulled the coat, skirt and top to her waist.At this time, her nails were hanging on the fabric, and she felt a slight pain in her fingers.

When the light of the second firework flashed, she found that the tip of the nail was broken backwards. Fang remembered that it was broken by grabbing the wooden board of the carriage, but she almost didn't remember.

She couldn't say a word, and silently packed her things carefully.The carriage was flickering, she lowered her head and dared not look at Zhu Gaoxu, but she knew that Zhu Gaoxu was looking at her.

At this moment, Zhu Gaoxu's voice said: "I just thought of a way tonight, maybe I can try it, ask my concubine mother, let her no longer recognize your relationship, and then reward you as my second concubine, then we Can't we be together in a fair manner?"
