Remembrance Hibiscus GL

Wei Lun opened the curtain himself, Zong Xu went in and saw Bing Lun sitting on the kang critiquing papers, because the room was warm, he was only wearing a homemade silver blue brocade jacket, looking very energetic.

He was flustered in his heart, forced a smile on his face, and went forward to salute: "I pay my respects to the empress."

Binglun let out an "um" and said, "The emperor is here, please sit down." The pen in his hand paused slightly, but did not stop.

An inner eunuch brought hot milk tea and several silver plates of sweets and cakes, and placed them in front of the emperor. Zong Xu sat upright, with his hands on his knees. After a long while, he said, "Queen, Mr. Resigning from the position of commander of the outer guard, will the queen mother keep her?"

Binglun said: "Everyone has his own aspirations, since he has no intention of being an official, why should he force him to stay?"

"But Taifu Chai is an old minister who won the trust of the emperor, and also my Taifu, how can he just let him go like this?" Zong Xu was very anxious when he heard the words, and he didn't know where the courage came from, and suddenly said "What's more, he has been in charge of the defense of the capital for so many years. He has always been devoted to his duties. He has never expressed the slightest intention of retiring. Today, he suddenly behaves like this. Is it forced by others?"

Binglun closed the folder in his hand and said, "Well, according to the emperor, who forced Chai Biao?"

She looked peacefully, and looked at Zong Xu with her bottomless phoenix eyes. Zong Xu trembled for no reason, hurriedly lowered his head, and said falteringly: "My lord...Your lord is just messing around. Just talk."

Binglun said: "He is your Taifu, you don't want him, so you should personally issue an edict to keep him, but talking like this is too childish."

Zong Xu's face was flushed, and he said: "Yes, I know I'm wrong." Holding the tea in his hand, he sat for a while, got up and said: "It's getting late, I should go back, tomorrow The son comes again to pay his respects to the queen mother, and ask the mother to cherish the phoenix body and rest early."

Binglun didn't hold back, just said: "Gao Xian, take the emperor out, and tell those who came with him, it's dark outside and the road is slippery, be careful on the road."

While Gao Xian agreed, he sent Zong Xu out. Zong Xu was extremely frustrated and depressed. Wei Lun waited outside the hall. Seeing his dull expression, he hurriedly stepped forward to give him a hand, and walked down the steps step by step. In front of the bright yellow warm sedan chair, Zong Xu trembled his lips and made a low, inaudible voice: "Xiao Weizi, the queen mother is like this, I... am I really going to die?"

Turning around, looking at the brightly lit palace behind him, Wei Lun persuaded from the side: "Your Majesty, it's very windy here, hurry up and get back in the sedan chair."

Gao Xian stood under the altar for a while, then returned to Nuan Pavilion, spoke to Bingsamsara, and still stood aside.Binglun didn't say anything, finished reviewing the remaining few notebooks, drank a few sips of hot tea, leaned back on the bright yellow satin and dark flower pillow, and slowly closed her eyes.

Usually, if he saw her like this, Gao Xian would occasionally order someone to invite Lian Zhen to come over.But he is an extremely shrewd person. From the various changes in the court in the past few months, combined with Duan Binglun's relationship with Huo Lin, and his attitude towards the emperor, it is known that the little emperor is not only in danger of losing his position, but also very likely to be fierce. Duojishao guessed that Binglun didn't see Lianzhen in the near area, and even felt like avoiding him. I'm afraid it was because of this, how could he dare to make his own claim at this time?

But what makes him strange is that Lian Zhen hasn't stepped into the Chongde Palace recently, could it be. . . . . .Could it be that she knew something?Impossible, I followed the Queen Mother's order and sealed all news tightly, so it is impossible for the harem to hear the slightest wind.

He couldn't think of a reason, but he was faintly worried about their relationship.After a long time, seeing that Binglun was not moving, and seemed to be about to sleep, he said softly: "Master, should the slaves ask them to come in and wait for you to rest?"

Binglun said: "I'm not sleepy, I'm just resting my mind."

Gao Xian thought for a while, and then said: "Master, the food is not delicious all day, but now you feel hungry? Why don't the slaves tell them to pass the food?"

"After you said it, I really felt a little hungry. It's just that you don't have to go through a lot of trouble. Just pass some purple rice porridge and serve it with some pickles, that's all."

Gao Xian was overjoyed, he hurriedly ordered to go down, and said with a smile: "Today, someone from Xiyuan said that the first batch of fruits and vegetables cultivated in the greenhouse over there will be ripe, and the master will be able to taste new ones in a few days."

"En." Binglun said: "Send more to Xiefang Palace when the time comes."

Gao Xian hurriedly said: "Yes."

Although the emperor issued an edict to try his best to keep him, Chai Biao saw that the situation of Yan Dynasty was gone. He felt powerless and unwilling to cling to Huo Lin. He went to the table again and resolutely asked to resign on the grounds that he would go home to take care of his mother. Zong Xu could not , had no choice but to let him go, and within a few days, Tie Yi, Huo Lin's deputy, took over the post of commander of the outer guard.

Lian Zhen was not interested in the government at all, and she cared about it occasionally in the past, but it was only because she was worried about Binglun. Now she thinks that the world is peaceful, and she doesn't even bother to ask. She stays in her own palace every day, and she can be said to be completely familiar with what happened in the previous dynasty. If you don't smell it, you don't know anything.However, Shen Wenying, Qinzhu and some imperial orders still often walked around the harem, and after a long time, she still noticed something was wrong.

This day, after taking a nap, she woke up with tightness in her chest and felt uncomfortable. In order to prevent everyone from making a fuss, she put on her clothes and walked slowly to the dressing table to sit down. Hengbo held a tortoiseshell comb and replaced her Comb her hair finely.

Lian Zhen said: "Hengbo, do you feel that the people who came to my place recently are a little strange?"

Hengbo didn't understand, so he said with a smile: "Master's words, servants are a little confused."

Lian Zhen frowned and said: "It's all for the others. Wen Ying seems to be very reserved when she comes here these few times, which makes me feel uncomfortable. Qin Zhu's expression is also different from the past, and her words are always cautious, but I don't know what reason."

"Master, this is overthinking." Hengbo said with a smile: "The royal family has its own rules, and there is nothing wrong with them. No matter how close the relationship between the master and them is, there is always a difference between superiority and inferiority."

Lian Zhen said: "It's not this, alas, I can't tell."

"The Empress Dowager is paying more and more attention to her master. It's not surprising that other people treat her master differently than before."

Hengbo was rather disapproving of her words. Two young maids stood on her right side, each holding a silver tray containing gold hairpins and pearl hairpins, shaking the flower tinsel, all of which were shining in splendor. She stretched out her hand to grab it, Lianzhen said: " If you don't go out and don't see anyone, why wear all these things." He picked out a jasper heart hairpin and said, "That's all."

Tong Jie came in from the outside, bowed and said: "Master, the Queen Mother has sent Director Wang to give you something."

Hengbo couldn't help laughing: "It's a coincidence that I just mentioned the queen mother to the master."

It has been more than a month since Binglun stepped into the harem, but they always send people to bring things over every three days. This time they brought melons, eggplants, leeks and cucumbers and other fresh fruits and vegetables. In winter, everything is hard to find.In addition, there are two pots of flowers, one pot is rare and precious camellia, that's all, the other pot is peony, or double-headed peony.

As soon as the flowers were brought in, the room felt red and filled with a strange fragrance. Everyone just looked at the pot of peonies in amazement.

Lian Zhen looked at Wang Youxing: "Are these things only for me, or do other masters have them?"

Wang Youxing said: "Master, in the past, the fresh food brought into the winter palace was cultivated in several fire cellars in central Beijing. The vegetables, fruits and peony flowers sent here today are from the newly built greenhouse next to Xiyuan Hot Spring. Sopei, this is the first batch of successful ones, although the variety is more than in previous years, the quantity is less, except for the queen mother and the emperor, only the master can get it from you." With a flattering smile on his face, he explained the gifts one by one Clearly, he didn't take a sip of tea, let alone receive gold and silver rewards, so he left in a hurry.

Lianzhen told Baozhen: "Keep the flowers, and distribute the other things. You personally take someone to send them to the wombs of Master Rui and Master Qing, and say they are rewards from the Empress Dowager."

Baozhen agreed to go, and Hengbo ordered people to move two pots of flowers into the warm pavilion. Lianzhen sat on the kang, silent, and Hengbo said: "Master, what's wrong with you? Could it be that the Queen Mother rewarded these things, are you not happy?" ?”

"I just saw this pot of peonies, and I remembered the days I spent in the Xizichun Pavilion a few years ago." Lian Zhen shook her head and said in a low voice: "It's been like this year after year, time flies so fast. "

"Yeah, I think it was just yesterday when the slaves were assigned to the Lord's womb." Hengbo said with a smile, "Perhaps the days are getting better and better, so I feel that the time flies like an arrow."

Lian Zhen was slightly startled, and then heard her say: "I really don't know how many lives I have cultivated to be here today. Think about those sisters in the past, some of them followed their masters. I didn't expect that in the end, the servant girl was the luckiest one."

Although she didn't say it out loud, Lian really understood what she meant. She had quite a lot of experience in the palace. Some of the people who entered the palace with her and learned the rules together were assigned to the Palace of Emperor Wenzong's favorite concubines. Among them, in the end, they ended up miserably, and even lost their lives. Some of them have been working as lowly servants and have not made it to the top yet. But she is by Lian Zhen's side. Although she is also serving the master, she is pampered and treated like the master. There is status in the palace, and even the family members have followed suit. Looking back at the beginning, why not be filled with emotion?

Hengbo looked at Lianzhen, his heart was filled with gratitude, and he said softly: "If the servant can serve the master for a long time, there will be nothing else I can ask for in this life."

Days passed by, and it was New Year's Eve again in a blink of an eye.As usual, there is a grand family banquet in the palace, and then the Empress Dowager and the Emperor Changchun Palace entertain princes and ministers, etc., which is red tape. Needless to say, after the dinner, it is to watch plays and enjoy singing and dancing. Binglun does not like excitement by nature, so it is difficult to stay up for two At Shichen, when she returned to the Nuan Pavilion of Chongde Palace and changed into casual clothes, Gao Xian handed over a hot towel, she took it and wiped her hands and face, and said: "Go and ask Master Chen to come over." She looked slightly hesitant: "If she doesn't Willing to come..."

Gao Xian was the most obedient, before she finished speaking, he hurriedly said: "Master Chen will definitely be willing to come over." Seeing Binglun nodding, he hurried to go.

Binglun sat down on the kang, picked up a book, flipped through two pages and put it down, brought tea to drink, put it down before picking it up, felt inexplicably irritable, sat cross-legged quietly, for a long while, heard the slight sound of curtains moving, Sure enough, Lian really came in.

After more than a month, the two just met today. The family banquet was just a face-to-face meeting, and everything was done according to the etiquette in the palace, but it was nothing compared to now.Lian Zhen also took off her make-up, and changed into a begonia red satin dress, which shone slightly under the light, making her more delicate and gorgeous, hard to describe.

Binglun was looking at it, but she had already knelt down: "This concubine has seen the queen mother."

Binglun laughed: "It's New Year's Eve, are you still angry with me?"

Lian Zhen lowered her head, and after a while, she whispered: "Aren't you the one who is angry?"

Binglun smiled slightly, and pointed to her side: "Come and sit." Lianzhen didn't move at all, so Binglun had to get up, walked over to take her hand, and sat down together, but he didn't let go of her hand, and his eyes were rare and gentle: "I I'm not angry, I'm afraid you don't want to see me." Sighing lightly, he said again: "No matter what you do, I won't be angry."

A simple sentence hit the weakness in the deepest part of her heart. The ups and downs in Lian's heart were indescribable. Tears were already rolling in her eyes. She could only bear it, not wanting to let her see it. For a moment, she said softly: " you've been drinking?"

"Well, don't you have to drink some Tusu wine at this time of year, and you drink more today than in previous years."

Lian Zhen couldn't help reaching out to touch her cheek, it was really hot, and asked: "Is it uncomfortable?" She wanted to get up to get her a sober stone, but Binglun grabbed her: "I'm fine, you don't have to do anything." Gently stretching his arms, he hugged her into his arms: "It's good that you are by my side." The gentle tone, warm embrace, and faint and cool fragrance made it too late to resist, let alone resist.

The north wind was howling outside the window, and the sound was in my ears. Lianzhen was lying on the kang, leaning against her, but her heart was peaceful and at ease. Only then did I know how much I missed the person in front of me these days, how much I longed for this embrace , her hands unconsciously tightened, Binglun caressed her hair, and a smile gradually appeared on the corners of her lips.

Lian Zhen said softly: "Recently, I've always wondered if I was too greedy."

"Huh?" Binglun said, "Why do you say that?"

"You are good enough to me, and you have given me enough." Lian Zhen's eyes showed a look of pain, and after a long time, he continued: "But, I always want to be more, more, more and more. The more dissatisfied, Binglun, do I hate this?" Tears welled up little by little, and slowly seeped into the front of her chest.

"No, I'm not good enough for you, I can't accompany you often, I...I often do things you don't like, why are you crying?" Binglun raised her chin and sighed: "Putian Now, I don't want to see you sad." My heart became more and more heavy, and I just didn't want to think about it. I lowered my head and kissed her tears away bit by bit, like coaxing a child, and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Don't cry, tomorrow night, I'll take you to Chaoyang Gate to watch the fireworks, okay?"
