Remembrance Hibiscus GL

The eldest prince Zong Lie was only six years old, and he had already started to study in the upper study room. The several imperial tutors in the upper study room were all learned scholars of the dynasty, and they taught them very hard. As time goes on, they have improved a lot. Concubine Min is very pleased.This day, after returning from school, Zong Lie stood under the window, like a little adult, stood there shaking his head and recited to his mother and concubine: "Flowers of water, land and vegetation are very cute. Jin Tao Yuanming only loves chrysanthemums. Since Li In the Tang Dynasty, the world loved peonies. I love the lotus, which emerges from the mud but is not stained. It is clean and ripples but not demonic. It is straight in the middle and straight in the outside. What an obscenity..."

The hall was extraordinarily quiet, only his crisp and clear voice could be heard. After reciting a piece of "Ai Lian Shuo", it was accurate and without missing a single word. Concubine Min was overjoyed, and turned to tell Lingque: "Go and get some candied fruit. Here comes the pastry."

"Yes."

Lingque smiled and agreed, and after a while, a little palace maid came with two golden plates of delicate cakes. Zong Lie was very happy to see his favorite thousand-layer cake and gold and silver peony cake: "Thank you, concubine mother."

Concubine Min held her son in her arms, stretched out her hand to caress his head and neck, saw him eating deliciously, and told him gently from time to time: "Eat slowly, and be careful of choking." She took a handkerchief and wiped the debris from his mouth .Kang Lu, the chief eunuch of Yijing Palace, walked in suddenly, knelt down and kowtowed: "Master, this slave has something important to report."

"what's up?"

Concubine Min saw that he was hesitant to speak, so she ordered the people on the left and right to back down, and said to Qiaoying and the nanny who followed the eldest prince, "Take the prince for a walk in the small garden, so I can watch."

"Yes."

Seeing Ling Que was the only one left in the room, Concubine Min brushed her clothes, then said casually: "You are so flustered, please tell me, what's important."

Kang Lu walked a few steps forward on his knees: "Your Majesty, Master Zhang Tuizhi is back."

Concubine Min frowned slightly: "He was sent to Tubo by the emperor, so it's time to come back, what's wrong?"

Kang Lu was mysterious, and lowered his voice on purpose: "It is not a big deal for him to come back. The important thing is that Tubo accepted all the gifts he brought, but he did not agree to form an alliance with us. That Tubo Zanpu said, I deeply regret what happened to the nine princesses last time, and I hope to marry another princess from my dynasty."

Concubine Min was startled: "Is this news true?"

"It's absolutely true. The slave asked the people in Changle Palace personally."

Concubine Min didn't speak, she sipped the tea carefully, and after a long time, there was a faint smile on the corner of her mouth: "The Ninth Princess has passed away, if you want to choose another princess to marry, it should be Princess Lanling. I'm afraid the queen won't be able to sit still right now."

Princess Zong Xi of Lanling is the emperor's first daughter and the only child raised by the empress. The empress has always loved her like a treasure. Although she is not yet ten years old at this time, she is the oldest among the several princesses.

Kang Lu said with a smile: "Isn't that right, it is said that the queen is crying with her arms around the princess in the palace right now."

"She is usually obedient to the emperor on the open face. With the reputation of Bo Xiande, I want to see if she can still obey the emperor this time." Concubine Min snorted softly, and then said to Kang Lu: "You have always been well-informed, and I am very satisfied with this." After speaking, he glanced at the sparrow, and the sparrow understood, turned and walked to the inner room, and then brought out a few gold ingots on a tray.

Kang Lu kowtowed and said, "Thank you, my slave, for your reward."

"For those who work for me, this palace will naturally not treat you badly. As long as you are loyal to me, you will be benefited in the future." Concubine Min smiled, but her eyes gradually turned cold: The emperor came forward and asked to make Lie Er the crown prince to strengthen the foundation of the country. Wen Tianhe and a group of courtiers who followed him always obstructed it. The old man was the queen's uncle. It was nothing more than the queen's order to make things difficult for me so many times. , she doesn't live up to expectations, it's just that she can't give birth to a son, and now she can't even keep her only daughter under her knees, which is really satisfactory."

Kang Lu had a flattering smile all over his face: "The First Prince is smart and agile, he knows etiquette and is eager to learn, and is deeply loved by the Emperor. Madam, rest assured, the position of the prince will belong to the First Prince sooner or later, and there will be no one else."

Lingque also interjected: "That's right, there are only two princes under the emperor's knees. The first prince is the eldest son, and the empress is from a famous family, and her status is precious, far from being comparable to the second prince's biological mother. According to slaves and servants, our first prince is the eldest son. The day is not far."

Concubine Min felt very comfortable hearing these words, she blew lightly on the floating tea leaves, her face brightened: "Let's just wait and see this good show by the queen."

In March and April, it is the beautiful time when all kinds of flowers bloom in the garden and spring is full of colors in the imperial city. She is recuperating well.Li Mao even came here every day, took her pulse carefully, and carefully prescribed prescriptions for treatment, but there was no major improvement. Feeling strange, he couldn't help but dared to say: "Ms. Chen Guan It seems that the mind is disturbed and stagnated in the heart, and the medical skills of the minister are poor, if it is a heart disease, it cannot be cured by medicine." The imperial concubine neither answered nor showed any anger, her eyes were not as cold and seductive as in the past, just blank Staring at a certain place in a daze, as if he didn't hear her words at all, Li Mao had no choice but to pretend that he hadn't asked.

It was already dark, and it started raining outside the window at some point, Qinzhu took care of the imperial concubine to drink medicine and rinse her mouth, and then tucked the quilt for her, suddenly said: "Listen to Gao Xian and the others, the empress Fearing that the emperor will marry Princess Lanling to Tubo, today I went to Changle Palace, knelt down and begged, cried and made noises, and made the emperor lose his temper for a long time."

The imperial concubine half closed her eyes: "Yes."

Qin Zhu said in a low voice: "If that's the case, then Princess Lanling is also to blame."

The imperial concubine's tone was tired: "Although the emperor really wants to ease relations with Tubo, he is afraid that Deli Zanpu and Tuyuhun will unite against Dayan, but he will not let Princess Lanling marry him."

"But the Ninth Princess is not..."

"The Ninth Princess is different from the Lanling Princess. The Ninth Princess is just the emperor's half-sister, but the Lanling Princess is his beloved daughter. The lessons learned from the Ninth Princess are there. No matter how cruel and selfish the emperor is, he will not give away his own daughter. Push into the fire pit, cough...cough..." She covered her mouth and coughed a few times, Qinzhu hurried over and beat her back lightly, she took a breath, and continued: "The emperor let you go!" With a low profile, he sent people to send a large amount of gold and silver silk to beg for peace, but he didn't expect Tubo to be so aggressive, which made him lose face, and he lost his temper, not the Queen's temper, but anger from embarrassment, and vented his anger on her." Having said that, he coughed lightly again.

Qin Zhu hurriedly said: "It's all bad for the servants, which caused the master to say so much, the servants wait for the master to rest."

"Ah."

Qinzhu waited for her to lie down, and the imperial concubine ordered softly: "Keep some light, I don't like the darkness around me."

Qin Zhu replied: "Yes."

The two Changxin palace lanterns in the sleeping hall have been extinguished, but the arm-length red candle in front of the bed is still burning. The imperial concubine is hugging the silk quilt, looking at the fire not far away in a trance, the warm, beating, A fire that burns the eyes.

That dreamlike spring night was also lit by such red candles, full of joy, and the warm room was filled with a dark fragrance. They hugged each other and lay on the bed, listening to each other's violent heartbeat.Her delicate body was trembling slightly in her arms, but the eyes looking at her were like a pool of spring water, full of tenderness and affection.It was the first time she didn't call her cousin, her cheeks were flushed, and she called her name in a low and shy voice: "Binglun... Binglun..." The voice was soft and charming, with hundreds of twists and turns, it was incomparable Indulgence, she only wants her, only wants her to be called by her name alone, and she feels extremely disgusted from the bottom of her heart when others call her like that, but what about her?Why didn't she call her that anymore?

The imperial concubine stretched out her hand and slowly unwrapped a flat gold embroidered purse from her neck. The purse was very delicate and small, with light water patterns embroidered with silver thread on the side, and a pattern of fish playing with lotus leaves in the middle. It took a lot of thought and effort.Inside the purse was a strand of black silk, as soft as satin. The imperial concubine stared at it for a long time, wrapped the strand around her fingers, and placed it on her chest, feeling her heart ache like twisting, and the tears never stopped Can't help but trickle down the corner of the eye.

This night, she couldn't sleep peacefully, she always fell asleep intermittently, and woke up intermittently. The rain outside the window seemed to understand her sadness, and it was still falling densely, unhurriedly, without interruption all night.

In a trance, she saw her mother, who was standing in the garden with a kind smile on her face: "Bing'er, this is Wanxi, your little uncle's daughter." She waved back as she said, "Wanxi, Come, meet your cousin."

She dropped the kite she was making, turned her head slightly, and saw a four or five-year-old girl standing under the pink cherry tree behind her mother. Liu Liu's big eyes blinked lightly, and looked at her with a trace of curiosity, then, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly cutely, and he called her very obediently: "Cousin, my name is Lin Wanxi."

Wanxi, Wanxi. . .Why is this name so painful, she looked at her when she was young, completely forgot all the things that happened later, walked over happily, took her little hand and wanted to take her to play, someone suddenly turned sideways, Blocking her, she looked up, and her father's majestic and cold face came into view: "Bing'er, Wanxi has grown up, she can no longer live in the mansion, and she will move out from here tomorrow."

Move out, why move out?No!don't want!She yelled, but her father's figure disappeared again, and Wanxi beside her had grown into a young girl at some point. She was beautiful, innocent, bright and moving, and even the flowers around her were overshadowed by her. Unable to look away, he stared at her obsessively.

"Binglun." Wanxi also looked at her, calling her name softly, but there was a hint of sadness in her smile: "I love you, I don't want to leave you, I don't want to move out, I'm afraid..."

"Wan'er, don't be afraid." She quickly embraced her, her heart full of pain and pain: "You will not leave me, we will always be together, I will go to ask my father, my father has always loved me the most, I Never let you move out!"

Wanxi raised her hazy teary eyes: "No, you lied to me, look, didn't I move out?"

She opened her eyes wide and looked around. There were still pavilions, towers and pavilions, with flowers everywhere, but it was not in the General's Mansion. She remembered that this was the Lin Mansion that her father had rebuilt for Wanxi to move out. This was the garden of the Lin Mansion. , she was angry and anxious, so she could only comfort her: "Wan'er, am I here? I came to see you, they can't stop me, I won't leave this time, okay?"

"This is a tormenting prison. I have people watching day and night, and I can't take a step out of the gate. I have no freedom for a moment. If I don't think of you in my heart, I won't be able to survive a day." Wanxi choked slightly, getting more and more He hugged her tighter and whispered in her ear: "Binglun, I heard from them that you will enter the palace in the future, if one day you will forget me, if one day you won't come to see me , it would be better if you killed me with your own hands now."

She was startled, and before she could speak, she felt that she was handing her something cold, holding her hand and sending it forward heavily, and then Wanxi's body slid down softly, and she saw that Yin Hong The fresh blood gradually spread on her white blouse, like a huge coquettish and dazzling flower slowly blooming, and the silver dagger stuck in her chest impressively.I killed her?I killed my Wan'er?She looked at her hands in horror, her hands were trembling, and her body began to shake, and suddenly she fell to the ground, curled up into a ball. . . . . .

Wan'er, Wan'er. . .She screamed heart-piercingly, cried hoarsely, but she couldn't make a sound, and she couldn't exert the slightest effort to get close to her. Gradually, she vaguely heard people's voices around her, and the voice seemed very far away. , and seemed to be in the ear, and the sound was full of anxiety: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, wake up soon."

She slowly opened her eyes, and saw the anxious faces of Qinzhu and Shutong. She closed her eyes, then opened them again, feeling sweaty and weak. She looked at the top of the golden silk tent. , gasping for a while, trying to calm down his voice: "What's wrong?"

Qinzhu finally heaved a sigh of relief, and said back: "Your Majesty had a nightmare just now."

The imperial concubine was thinking about the situation in her dream, her eyes swept across her face: "Did I lose my composure just now?"

Seeing her sleepy, Qinzhu took the hot towel handle from Shutong and carefully wiped the sweat on her forehead, and replied softly: "Your Majesty must have had a nightmare, she was struggling all the time in her sleep. It's as if you want to call someone, but you can't make a sound."

The imperial concubine was relieved, nodded and said: "Prepare Lantang, I want to take a bath."

After bathing and dressing up, someone passed on the breakfast, and the imperial concubine forced herself into half a bowl of stewed bird's nest with rock sugar, and asked for water to rinse her mouth. Seeing her get up, Shutong laughed and said, "Your Majesty is bored in the room every day, go to Shangyuan to relax." That's fine."

The imperial concubine stood and pondered for a while, then suddenly said: "I'm going to see Concubine Lian, I don't need too many people to follow."

"Yes, I'm going to prepare now."

The sedan chair stopped in front of the gate of Lvqi Palace, Shutong stepped forward to help her, but she shook her head, walked around the screen wall, walked through the main hall, and saw Hengbo and Baozhen feeding the few dogs on the corridor. The parrot thrush, teasing and laughing from time to time, turning around and seeing them, hurriedly put down what she was doing, and went down happily. Before she could speak, the imperial concubine waved her hand to signal silence, and stepped on the residual flowers after the rain. At the door, he reached out to lift the curtain and walked in.

As soon as she walked into the cubicle, she heard a faint sigh from inside: "Pear blossoms are like snow and grass are like smoke." She couldn't help but said, "My home is on both sides of the Qinhuai River."

Lian Zhen was surprised and delighted, and turned around quickly, only to see a person standing leaning against the door. Although his face was slightly pale, there was a faint smile on his mouth: "Are you homesick again?"
