Remembrance Hibiscus GL

The sky is full of sunset, covering many palaces and palaces. The golden doors, Zhuying, and white jade railings are all smeared with a touch of gold, which is as magnificent and dazzling as a fairyland on earth.

Lianzhen is leaning on the pillow, bowing her head to do needlework. She has something on her mind recently. She doesn't like to go out. She often sits and embroiders, nothing more than plum, orchid, and lotus. The neck is sore, so I have to stop and rest for a while.

Hengbo kneaded her shoulders for her, while saying: "A while ago, I overheard Yifang and the others chatting, it seems that many people have entered the palace this year."

Lian Zhen sat up straight, and lightly patted her waist with her hands, not paying attention: "Really?"

"They said that there are many new faces in the Huanyi Bureau, Needlework Bureau, and Siyuan Bureau. It's really strange. Now that the emperor is young and the harem is empty, it stands to reason that there are not so many people. Why are they still there? What about keeping people coming in?"

When she said this, Lian Zhen also felt strange, but said: "The selection of internal eunuchs and maidservants, etc., has always been left to Manager Gao and Manager Wang. They must have their reasons for doing this, so we don't have to worry about it." This heart."

Hengbo's face flushed slightly: "Yes, it's the servant who is talking too much."

Baozhen took a plate of golden jujubes from the maid of honor and put them on the table, muttering in her mouth: "Master is really patient, you don't feel too bored after sitting all day long."

"I'm lazy. When it comes to patience, I think of the old concubine Yihe I saw that day." Lian Zhen sighed softly, and put down her work: "After Emperor Sejong passed away, she was as good as she is now. Ordinarily, chanting scriptures and chanting Buddha in the Buddhist hall all day long, after several decades, the beauty will fade away, and the white hair will become gray, which will be seen by others..." At this point, I kept my mouth shut.

Knowing that she was feeling sad, Hengbo secretly winked at Baozhen, and said with a smile: "The old concubine is so devout, praying for the emperor and the people of the world, the world will surely be peaceful and the people will be happy."

Baozhen pointed to the outside: "Hey, the flowers are so blooming that they almost broke through the window."

In the small garden, the green leaves are separated, the colors of the flowers are scorching, and the red flowers with big bowl mouths are clustered on the branches. They are as fresh and delicate as the lips of a girl. Lianzhen stares for a moment and feels more desolate. There are no more young people, if I hadn't met Binglun, I would have to repeat the fate of the former imperial concubine. In the middle of my youth, I lived as a widow in a remote corner of the palace, cultivating myself and worshiping the Buddha, and spent the rest of my life in a cold and lonely life.

Meeting Binglun was her greatest luck. Even Yun'er, Concubine Qing, etc. were also affected by her luck to varying degrees. If Binglun hadn't won the cruel and tragic court struggle, and if she hadn't been protected by her power, how could she be where she is today? ease?But Binglun is in his place, and he is deeply involved in the vortex of power struggle. When will it be the end?I am a weak girl, I don't have a father who is a lord and a minister, and I don't have an elder brother who leads the army, so I can't help at all, but I am just doing things in a hurry, which is really frustrating. . . . . .

"The Queen Mother."

A soft call interrupted her wandering thoughts, Tong Jie said hello on the ground, and said softly: "Eunuch Wei of Changle Palace sent someone to ask if there is any honey bee cake made by the master himself last time. If so, want some to go."

"It's a coincidence that he came, I just made it yesterday." Lian Zhen couldn't help smiling, and turned her head to tell Hengbo: "You get some food boxes so that you can fill them up, and give them to him to take."

Hengbo replied with a smile, "Yes."

Lian Zhen said again: "I only want to be the emperor, why did you think of this again, and sent someone here?"

Tong Jie replied: "The father-in-law who came said that the emperor is feeling a little uncomfortable, the food is tasteless, and he is really thinking about the master's craftsmanship."

Lian Zhen frowned: "I'm not feeling well? Why don't I know at all? Have you seen the imperial doctor? What did you say?"

Seeing a series of questions from her, Tong Jie hastily slapped himself lightly: "Look at this slave's mouth! It made the master anxious again." Then he said with a smile: "I haven't called the imperial doctor yet, master don't worry, It's just that I have a poor appetite and the food is not very sweet, it will be fine after a few days of conditioning."

Lian Zhen was finally worried, hesitated for a long time, and stood up: "I'll go and have a look."

Zong Xu was very angry because Huo Mu sent his two bodyguards to other places, and replaced Duan Tianxing and Xin Yu. Recently, he did have a lot of heart problems, but it was not because he was in a bad mood. Hearing Lian Zhen's arrival, He was very happy, and hurriedly got up to greet him: "Mother Concubine."

Lian Zhen held his hand, and seeing his ruddy complexion and radiant spirit, she felt at ease: "I heard that the emperor is not feeling well, so I came here to have a look."

"How do these slaves spread the word?" Zong Xu glared at Wei Lun, then turned his head and smiled and said, "I'm fine, I'm just greedy for the cakes made by my mother and concubine, but it's my fault for telling my mother and concubine to worry."

"The emperor seems to have grown a little taller." Lian Zhenmei's eyes were full of love and compassion, and she sighed: "Every time I meet the emperor, I feel different. The emperor is really growing up day by day."

Zong Xu sat down with her, and said with a smile, "I've grown up already, and in three or four years, I'm going to get married." When it came to getting married, he immediately thought of being in charge, and his expression grew a little excited.

Lian Zhen only took his child's naughty words, but he found it funny, and was about to make fun of him, he said again: "I hope to have a woman like my mother and concubine to be my queen."

Lian Zhen was startled: "What?"

Zong Xu said: "Only a beautiful and gentle woman like Concubine Mu is worthy to be my queen."

His chin was raised slightly, as if he was promulgating an oracle, and there was no room for refutation or questioning. His air and tone really looked more and more like his father. . . . . .Lian Zhen stared at him blankly, with a smile on the corner of her mouth.

"Mother, what's wrong with you?"

"It's nothing. Your mother is right. I always treat you like a child, ignoring the fact that you are the emperor and the lord of the world. Your words and deeds are becoming more and more like a gentleman."

Zong Xu held on to her hand, and said seriously: "I am the emperor, but I will always be the son of my concubine."

Lian really felt relieved by such heart-warming words, she smiled and shook her head: "No, you are the son of your empress first, and your empress should also be a noble, dignified and elegant woman like your empress."

Zong Xu's dark eyes flashed a glint of gloom, and he blurted out: "No!" Immediately, he realized his slip of the tongue, and looked around, only Wei Lun was standing beside him, feeling a little relieved, with a smile on his face: "I respect my mother very much, but choosing the queen , I still want to choose a concubine like mother." After a pause, he repeated in a low voice: "I will definitely choose someone like concubine mother."

It is not an exaggeration to say that the six days on duty in Chongde Palace are like years. According to the rules of the palace, there are four days of rest and bathing. Huo Ze was very happy, handed over the errand, and rushed back to the duty room. Lu Yin was already packing his things, Huo Ze had always been on good terms with Duan Tianxing, and suspected that Lu Yin had been telling the truth in front of Huo Mu and Huo Song in the past few days, gossiping about his own affairs, annoyed him, and said: "I have an appointment with Duan Tianxing today. Let's go out of the palace together, you can go by yourself later."

Lu Yin was surprised: "Is the second master going to Changle Palace to find him?"

"Exactly."

Lu Yin was serious and advised: "Second Master, we are iron guards, and we all know the rules. It is not appropriate for you to go to Changle Palace without authorization. Besides, there are thousands of households in the palace, like a maze. If you wait If you go to the wrong place, don't you get into trouble?"

Huo Ze sneered and said, "What do you mean, could it be that I will still get lost? I am no match for Mr. Lu. I used to go to the palace to meet the queen mother and the emperor. Apart from the general's mansion, the palace is probably the most familiar place."

The words were quite mocking that he had never seen the world, Lu Yin didn't take it seriously, clasped his fists and said earnestly: "Please also ask the second master to go out of the palace with me, don't make any trouble, the general is probably already waiting for us. "

He babbled, Huo Ze was already impatient, and he was even more disgusted when he heard that his father was oppressing him, so he endured and endured, and said: "To tell you the truth, the queen mother sent me to send a message to the emperor. If you want to go there, just go with Duan Tianxing by the way."

When Lu Yin heard what he said, he believed it. He didn't dare to ask further questions, and said, "Since that's the case, the humble official is waiting for the second master outside the palace."

The Chongde Palace is just south of the West Sixth Palace in the Inner Court, and is very close to the Changle Palace.Huo Ze tricked Lv Yin and was proud of himself. When he came out of Chongde Gate, he ran into two or three inner eunuchs from time to time, and two teams of patrolling iron guards. Because he was also wearing iron guard uniforms, no one cared about him. .Going east in this way, before reaching the Changle Gate, you can already see armored armor and iron halberds in the distance. The silent and majestic momentum is daunting.

Huo Ze finally didn't dare to enter through the main entrance. He knew that there were side entrances on both sides of Changle Palace, so he quietly made a half-circle from the left. In front of him was a quiet long alley. There is a base made of copper, with a copper lamp tower on it, and copper wire to protect the window. When you look in, you can see a side door in the middle of the high wall on the right, and go straight for hundreds of meters, and there are also two closed Zhumen.

On a daily basis, Huo Ze only went to the palace with his father or elder brother to meet the emperor's empress dowager during the New Year's Day, only a few times a year, and each time he was guided by the inner eunuch, where to wait, where to face the saint, where to receive the banquet, They are all at the mercy of others like a puppet, there must be no mistakes, what he said to Lu Yin that he often goes to the palace and is familiar with the palace is pure exaggeration and showing off, he has never been to this alley before, and he doesn't know where to go straight to He only knew that there were two side doors in the front courtyard of Changle Palace, one was "Risin Gate" and the other was "Yuelang Gate". He guessed in his heart that this side door should be Yuelang Gate. After walking dozens of steps, he arrived at the door, only to find that the door was closed.

At this moment, the glow in the sky was gradually dimming. Huo Ze pushed the door with his hands, and remained motionless. His heart became anxious. He was in a dilemma. Suddenly, there was a burst of laughter from a woman. Although the voice was not loud, it was soft and clear, and could be heard Feeling very comfortable, Huo Ze's heart moved, and he walked forward following the erratic sound of the voice, and when he got to the two vermilion doors, he just put his ear on the door, when he heard the words "Master Chen", his heart went wild for a while. Jumping, he suddenly recalled that year when he was in the Guangle Palace, that sight he would never forget.

The fiery red horse, the girl in snow-white fox fur, her beautiful face, it seems that she is not from the world. . . . . .He often thinks of the scene at that time, and sometimes he can't even tell whether it's real or not. He often tells Huo Song that if his father can become emperor one day, he doesn't want anything, as long as he has a beautiful woman in the harem. At that time, he thought of her, only her. . . . .He knew her name, Xie Lianzhen, and he secretly hid this name in his heart, and he always hoped that one day, the high walls of the imperial city would no longer be able to stop his desire.

Huo Ze was immersed in his fantasy, completely forgetting himself, a cold voice suddenly sounded behind him: "Who is sneaking there?"

Startled, Huo Ze turned around quickly, and saw a few imperial guards standing not far in front of him, all of them looked stern, and pressing their hands on the hilt of their swords, all the thoughts in his heart suddenly disappeared, and his forehead burst into tears. Cold sweat: "Brothers, don't get me wrong, I... I am the iron guard next to the Queen Mother..."

A man with the appearance of an iron guard waved his hand and cut off his words, his eyes swept across his face like cold electricity: "Do you know where this is?" Without waiting for his answer, he suddenly shouted: "Come here Ya! Take it for me!"
