Remembrance Hibiscus GL

In the fifth year of Taixing, Xiyuan was in a gentle breeze and the willows were blowing, and a hundred flowers were blooming, making it a beautiful spring.

In the Imperial Study Room of Qinzheng Hall, Zhu Taifu held a scroll in his hand, paced leisurely, and explained Confucian classics to the emperor in rhythm.

Zong Xu sat upright in the large rosewood armchair inlaid with nanmu, with his hands on his knees, his eyelashes drooping, staring at the books spread out on the desk, motionless, and he didn't ask the slightest question.

The old matriarch shook his head and was very devoted. He didn't realize something was wrong until his lips were dry, so he gradually slowed down and finally stopped.He focused on Zongxu, walked to his side, took a sip of water from his teacup, Zongxu was in a daze, unaware of his actions.

A few years have passed, and this little child who sat on the throne of the Ninth Five-Year Lord early has grown into a half-grown boy. As he grows older, he becomes more quiet and reserved, taciturn.Because he has not yet been in power, he has almost no right to speak in the court, but his graceful and steady demeanor, as well as the occasional intelligence and precocity in his behavior and words and deeds that are not commensurate with his actual age, make people dare not underestimate him. The courtiers privately felt that the little emperor was just like the empress dowager, and would have a bright future.

"Cough...cough..." Taifu Zhu frowned slightly, coughed twice, and Zong Xu finally raised his head.

Zhu Taifu said slowly: "Does the emperor understand what the old minister just said?"

A trace of panic flashed in Zong Xu's eyes, and he soon calmed down as usual: "I seem to understand the part that the Grand Tutor said just now, please tell the Grand Tutor for me again."

After all, he was the emperor, Taifu Zhu knew that he was not paying attention, so he was inconvenient to blame him, so he just said: "The old minister would like to ask the emperor, why do people in the world study?"

Zong Xu was slightly taken aback, and replied: "For understanding, for gaining fame, for honoring our ancestors."

"Your Majesty has already owned the world for a long time. The Empress Dowager continues to invite scholars of the Imperial Academy, famous scholars, to teach the Emperor's homework. Since she ascended the throne, she has been teaching and reading every day. Why?"

Zong Xu pursed his lips and said, "For the sake of governing the country in the future, benefiting the common people, and protecting the foundation of the ancestors."

"Your majesty understands these truths well, and also knows the importance of his own responsibility. Why can't he be free from distractions?" Zhu Taifu said: "The ancients said that if you are few, you are eager to learn, like the sun at sunrise; if you are strong, you are eager to learn, like the light of the sun ;Ambition and eagerness to learn are like the light of a candle. The emperor is still young, so he should seize this great time and study hard."

Zong Xu bowed his head silently, and after a while, he said softly: "Thank you for your guidance, I understand."

At noon, as usual, the old matriarch bowed to the emperor and bid farewell. The little eunuch came in to set up the table and chairs, and set up the imperial meal. After everything was settled, Wei Lun was left alone to wait on him.

Wei Lun moved Zong Xu's favorite food, roasted bamboo shoots, geese and Tonghua soft beef intestines, and said with a smile: "Nowadays, in addition to the daily lectures, there are three sutra banquets every month. The emperor sleeps all night long, really. It's hard work, the slave looks at it, and it really hurts."

Zong Xu shook his head: "It's not a big deal. The children of ordinary people have been in poverty for decades in order to seek official positions. It is much more difficult than this. In this dynasty, the family law is the strictest when it comes to the study of royal children. This is how you came here, otherwise, how can you keep the emperor forever?"

"Yes, His Majesty is wise and wise, and he will be able to secure the foundation of the country and create an unprecedented prosperity."

Zong Xu was drinking sweet and sour soup, when he heard this, he suddenly sighed softly, put down the bowl, Wei Lun hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this slave has never read any books, if there is anything wrong with using words indiscriminately, , please forgive me, Your Majesty."

"You didn't say anything wrong." Zong Xu was stunned for a while, and said: "Recently, people inside and outside the court are saying that the general is going back to the court."

Wei Lun glanced vigilantly at the door, lowered his voice and said, "The emperor has been depressed these days, is there something to worry about?"

Zong Xu frowned slightly, and remained silent. Wei Lun knelt down, moved his knees closer, and said in a low voice: "Although the servant has always been in the palace, I have also heard some rumors that the ministers of the court have repeatedly played, asking Send generals to the western borders to replace the general, so that the general can return to court as soon as possible."

"So what, the queen mother refutes what they said every time, and there are fewer and fewer people in the court who dare to impeach Huo Mu." Zong Xu clenched his palms, and there was a trace of coldness in his black and clear eyes. : "The countries in the Western Regions have long been willing to submit to me, Dayan, but Huo Mu found all sorts of reasons to continue to garrison the border, covering the sky with one hand, like the emperor of the Western Regions, and now he suddenly wants to come back, can I not worry? "

Wei Lun was surprised: "Why is the emperor so clear about things in Xijiang?"

Zong Xu said: "Of course I know, they think I'm just a child who only knows how to read every day. Hmph! This world, this country and mountains belong to me. Many things are like a mirror in my heart!"

Wei Lun saw that his eyes turned to him, suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said: "Emperor Taizu once established a rule that internal officials are not allowed to make false statements about political affairs, and slaves forget themselves for a while, please forgive me."

Seeing his fear, Zong Xu said softly, "Little Weizi, don't worry, the rules are dead, you are loyal to me, how can I blame you for such a trivial matter?" He paused, then sighed: "More What's more, I can only say these words to you alone."

As the Grain Rains are approaching, tea tributes from all over the country are sent to the capital one after another. Binglun and the emperor hold an annual "tea tasting" ceremony to taste this year's new tea and offer sacrifices to the ancestral temple. Minister.

This is the season when the peonies are in full bloom, and the gardens and pavilions of Yifeng Tower are in full swing, like snow and clouds, and the fragrance is pleasant everywhere. There were still several jars of snow collected together with Baozhen in the old year, busy people got up to cook the snow and make tea, and at the same time sent people to invite Binglun and Zongxu to drink tea and enjoy the flowers.

After a while, Tong Jie came back and said: "Master, the Empress Dowager is discussing matters with her ministers. The emperor has not finished writing today's words, so don't be idle right now."

Lian really thought about it, and said: "Then let Concubine Rui, Concubine Qing and Concubine Fang come over."

"Yes, the servant will send someone there immediately."

After returning from Guangle Palace that year, Concubine Qing and Concubine Fang were also able to live in Xiyuan, and they had occasional contacts with Lianzhen, which was quite a way to pass the loneliness. The two heard that Yifenglou was inviting them, so they hurriedly changed their clothes , readily agreed to the appointment, but Su Yun sent someone to say that he was not feeling well, and he would prepare a tea banquet at another time, and personally come to invite all the sisters to make amends.

The place to drink tea is Zuixiang Pavilion. Outside the pavilion, peonies are in full bloom. Amidst the variegated colors and reds, several peerless beauties with light sweeping brows and brocade clothes are sitting around one place, seeming to overshadow the flowers.

The heat of the charcoal fire was well controlled, and there was a delicate small bamboo stove on the fire, with Shachoshi on the stove, and Lian Zhenqin boiled the snow water and made tea for them to drink.

Concubine Qing took a sip of tea, praised her, and said: "Unfortunately, Concubine Rui is not in good health at this time, so she is not lucky to drink the good tea prepared by her sister herself."

Concubine Fang said: "Sister Chen, have you asked the people in her palace carefully? What is the disease? Is there any serious problem?"

"I asked, she said she was suffering from wind evil and had some fever, and the imperial doctor has passed." Lian Zhenxiu frowned slightly, and put down the teacup in her hand: "She is usually delicate and delicate, and in the past few years, she has suffered from frequent minor illnesses. Taking medicine twice a day for recuperation is really heart-wrenching."

Concubine Qing interrupted and said: "I see that Imperial Physician Li usually walks in her palace, why not find another imperial physician? Although Imperial Physician Li is from a family background, he is younger after all, not as experienced as Imperial Physician Xu and Imperial Physician Jia." , highly respected."

Concubine Fang is clever, and immediately smiled and said: "Although Imperial Physician Li is young, he has excellent medical skills. He was appreciated by the Queen Mother as soon as he entered the palace. It is no wonder that Sister Rui only trusts him, but what Sister Qing said is reasonable, it is a minor illness. It is also time to find a way to cure it, it is best to invite the imperial doctors of the imperial hospital to take turns to consult and prescribe the right medicine, if it is like this every year, the coming and going will get worse, what can I do?"

Princess Qing heard her say this, she couldn't help regretting her outspokenness, and hurriedly echoed: "Yes, Imperial Physician Li is naturally excellent in medicine, I mean the same as Sister Fang."

"I'll tell her when the time comes." Lian Zhen nodded, straightened up, poured tea for them again, and said with a smile: "Let's not talk about this, let's drink tea."

After lunch, Lian Zhen didn't feel sleepy, and she was thinking about Su Yun, so she took Baozhen and the others and meandered towards Ming He Xuan.

The honey-colored sunlight shines on the yellow and green glazed tiles, like rolling water drops. In the verdant green bushes, in the shade of dark and fragrant flowers, the birds are whispering and the butterflies are chasing and playing, making the palace more and more quiet. No human voice was heard.

The little eunuch saluted, and said softly: "Master Huichen, our master is in the bedroom. At this moment, Imperial Physician Li is still inside. I'm afraid he is guarding the girls to make medicine, so the servant will report it."

Lian Zhen said: "No need, I just go in and have a look, I'll leave later."

Turning around the screen wall, passing through several palace gates, they came to the main hall at the back. There were two maids guarding the gate, lowering their heads and taking a nap. Seeing Lian Zhen, she was startled and hurriedly knelt down to greet her. Zhen waved his hand, and was about to go in, when one of the maids hurriedly called out: "Master Chen, Sister Lianxu has told us that the master is happy to be quiet when he is sick, and no one is allowed to go in to disturb, otherwise we will only ask questions."

Lian Zhen frowned and said, "Can't I go in too?"

The two maids looked at each other, but they didn't dare to answer, Lian Zhen glanced at the people behind and said, "Forget it, I'll go in alone, Baozhen, you guys just wait here."

"Yes."

After all, the two maids did not dare to stop them. Lian Zhen entered alone, but felt that the courtyard was becoming more and more quiet, and there was not even a single person in the deep and gorgeous corridors on both sides. The door of Su Yun's bedroom was closed, and it opened with a slight push of her hand. There was no one inside. She was even more puzzled. When she walked to the moon cave door carved in rosewood to the west, she faintly heard a groaning rhyme. Can't help but lift the brocade curtain and go in.

The phoenix bed was placed on the west side of the north wall, and the colorfully embroidered silk curtain was completely lowered, shining with a charming luster. The intermittent, ups and downs came from inside from time to time, but it was not caused by illness, but mixed with Moans of extreme joy and pain. . . . .This is Lianzhen who is very familiar with it. Lianzhen blushed, but her mind was a little dazed. She didn't know whether she was going to go forward or what to do, so she whispered, "Yun'er, is that you?"

The sound on the bed stopped abruptly, and for a moment, it seemed that the world had stopped, and then there was a sound of rustling, and Su Yunyun came down from the bed in a mess and panic, the blood on her pretty face faded, "Lian Zhen, I...I..." Suddenly, she knelt down with a "plop" and said, "I beg you to be merciful."

"What are you doing?" Lian Zhen was also at a loss, she took a step back subconsciously, then she calmed down, her face was even redder, and she paused and said, "Are you dying?"

Su Yun was startled and frightened, and shed tears: "Lian Zhen, you and I are sisters, at least I beg you to give birth in your mouth, if... If you teach the Queen Mother to know, we will have no bones left."

Hearing what she said, Lian Zhen couldn't help looking at the bed curtain again, but saw Li Mao lift the curtain and come out tremblingly, without daring to look at Lian Zhen, silently knelt down beside Su Yun, Lian Zhen was surprised: "She...she is a woman!" As soon as the words came out, I knew that my words were wrong. Although only a few people knew about Li Mao's identity as a woman, they all slept in the same bed. Could it be that Su Doesn't Yun know that she is a woman?

Su Yun wept softly: "I know, and I don't know how I could be like this." Reaching out to take Li Mao's palm, there was a pleading look in her beautiful eyes: "Thousands of mistakes, all my faults, it's my fault. I always want to see her, always find excuses to let her come to my palace..."

Li Maojunxiu's face was also pale. Hearing what Su Yun said, he suddenly felt a little courage in his chest, and raised his head: "No, everything is my fault, and it's none of Master Rui's business."

"You still know that she is the master!"

Lian Zhen didn't like her at all, and she was even more angry at this moment. Li Mao lowered his head again, but Su Yun just kept begging for mercy: "Please look at the old friendship and help us keep the secret."

"You get up first."

The two looked at each other, still motionless, holding each other's hands even tighter, as if they were going to die together, Lian Zhen saw it in her eyes, and was quite touched in her heart, and asked: "When did you start... ...to start like this?"

Su Yun remained silent, Lian Zhen guessed that it must have been a long time, and didn't want to ask any further, and asked again: "Where are those two girls, Lian Xu and Mu Yao?"

Su Yun said in a low voice with guilt: "They are decocting medicine in the preparation hall."

"It seems that they know about your relationship?"

Neither Su Yun nor Li Mao dared to refute, Lian Zhen nodded: "As expected of a good girl brought over from home, she has lost her wealth and life, so I came to help you cover up." Wanting to blame them for "dirty and chaotic palace", thinking of I couldn't say anything about my relationship with Binglun, so I sighed and said slowly: "Don't worry, I will help you keep the secret."

The two were overjoyed and kowtowed their heads together. Lian really straightened her face: "But you must behave more carefully in the future. If the news reaches the ears of the Queen Mother and the Emperor, no one can save you!"

Back at Yifeng Building, Lian Zhen still had a warm face and her heart was beating. She waved away the crowd and leaned on the brocade couch with her head resting on the autumn-colored tapestry silk pillow.Thinking about Su Yun's youth for a while, he couldn't bear the loneliness in the deep palace, so it's not surprising that such things happened.After a while, I was fortunate that Binglun, as the empress dowager, possessed absolute power, so she could well cover her relationship with her. However, she has a cold and severe temperament, and the worst people in the palace are unruly. This kind of thing happened to her, and it happened to her. For her, other people's body is just two completely different things. If one day she finds out, what will happen?After a while, I thought about it, like myself and Binglun, Su Yun and Li Mao, even if we need to live cautiously, if we can go on like this for a long time without any other troubles, then I am willing, but there will be more in the future. It's so long, you can't see the end at a glance, can you really get your wish?

Just because her thoughts were chaotic and incomprehensible, Baozhen suddenly lifted the curtain and entered, and said softly: "The Empress Dowager sent someone to pass on a message, please come over immediately."

Binglun had just finished discussing matters with the courtiers, and she was still wearing a bright yellow woven gold court robe. She leaned her head up, leaning on the large golden nanmu chair, stroking the round golden lacquered faucet at the end of the armrest with both hands, as if she was thinking about something , suddenly felt a pair of soft and delicate hands covering his eyes, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Are you sleeping, or are you thinking about something? You don't even know if someone comes in."

Lian Zhen turned to her, looked at her with a smile, her expression was extremely proud, Bing Lun opened her eyes, and lazily said: "I knew you came in a long time ago."

"I do not believe."

"Forget it if you don't believe me. Before you see the person, smell the fragrance first. No one is more familiar with your aura than me."

She had an evil expression, her words were narrow, Lian Zhen blushed, and whispered: "The majestic empress dowager is always so unprincipled!"

"Dangtangchen, the concubine, always tries to seduce the empress dowager in different ways."

"You fool..."

Before the word "Shuo" came out, Bing Lun had put his arms around her slender waist, Lian Zhen couldn't stand still, and had already fallen into her arms, Bing Lun looked at Lian Zhen, and smiled abhorrently, Lian Zhen ignored her, and turned his head In the meantime, seeing a few dishes of seasonal dishes on the table, he picked up a cherry and put it in his mouth.

Binglun said: "I want to eat too."

"You take it yourself."

Binglun straightened up suddenly, kissed her lips, prying open her white teeth with her tongue extremely skillfully, and with just one twist, the cherry fell into her mouth, she leaned back on the chair again, and said with satisfaction: "Well, it's so sweet !"

Lianzhen was angry and funny at the same time, after thinking about it, she decided not to bother with her anymore, took another one herself, and while eating, she pretended to be casual and said: "Well, if one day, someone close to you commits a crime What would you do if you violated more serious palace rules?"

Binglun frowned and said, "Who broke the palace rules? How serious is it?"

"I'm just asking casually." Lian Zhen rolled her eyes: "If Gao Xian broke the palace rules one day, would you forgive me?"

"Of course it is handled according to the rules."

"What if it's a crime of decapitation?"

Binglun seemed to be very strange to her questioning: "Then behead."

Lian Zhenqi said: "Then what if it's me? Are you going to kill me too?"

"You?" Binglun looked her up and down several times, and after a while, Fang said seriously: "You are so beautiful, it doesn't matter if you break the rules of the world."

"Nonsense again!" Lian Zhen stretched out his hand and thumped her shoulder, leaned against her ear, and said with a light smile, "It doesn't matter what I do no matter what you do."

"Almost, except for one thing you can't do."

"Ah?" Lian really looked at her curiously: "What?"

"You can't like someone else."

"Yeah." Lian Zhen almost forgot her original intention of asking, and deliberately said: "If one day I fall in love with someone else, what will you do?"

"Then I'll kill him!" Binglun continued without the slightest hesitation, "I'll kill whoever you like!"

"You know how to kill, kill, kill!"

Lian Zhen gave her a blank look, but her heart was sweet. Binglun met her eyes, stretched out his hand to caress her face, but the smile in her phoenix eyes gradually dimmed, and became deep and peaceful again.

Entering the palace at the age of 16, seven or eight years have passed in the blink of an eye, and it is Huaxin's youth. . . . . .The fine clothes and fine food in the palace, the pampered life, and the nourishment of love in the past few years made her look more radiant than before, but fortunately, this gorgeous and magnificent palace can well cover her light.

Binglun's slender and pale fingers slowly slid across her eyebrows, her lips, and her chin. . . . . .It seemed that she was nostalgic for the beautiful and peerless face in front of her eyes, and it seemed that she wanted to deeply engrave her appearance at this moment in her heart.

Lianzhen finally felt something was wrong: "Binglun, what's wrong?"

"Lian'er, we are going back to the palace tomorrow."

Lian Zhen was obviously not prepared at all: "Why? Why is it so sudden?"

"I received a report from my father that he will be back in two months." Binglun withdrew his hand, his eyes lowered slightly, and his tone was a little indifferent: "Well, after he comes back, the chance for us to meet will not be as it is now. So many."
