Remembrance Hibiscus GL

In June, the Ascension Ceremony is ready.On the third day of the first lunar month, Zong Xu, who was only five years old, took off his filial piety clothes and put on a bright yellow satin dress embroidered with colorful clouds, nine dragons and twelve chapters. He ascended the throne in the Chuigong Hall, received congratulations from civil and military officials and envoys from all directions, and issued an imperial edict, The world will be amnesty, and next year will be the first year of Taixing.On the same day, respected mother Huo Binglun was the Empress Dowager, Xie Lianzhen was the Concubine Chen, Su Yun was the Concubine Rui, Concubine Ning, Zong Lie's adoptive mother, was the Concubine Ning, and the rest all received Jin titles.

Binglun also changed into the empress dowager's court dress, and ascended to the seat in Qingquan Palace. The little emperor Zongxu went to the empress dowager's palace, kneeling three times and prostrating nine times.Binglun then moved to Chongde Palace, Zong Xu led the princes and ministers to congratulate him, and then Sima Hu, Minister of the Ministry of War, and some ministers jointly played a petition, using the excuse of Emperor Youchong, to ask the Queen Mother to come to the court as regent, so as to put the world in peace, Binglun does not allow it, and in the evening , Sima Hu, Xia Houjin, Dou Chongguang, Huo Song, etc. crossed the cabinet, and led a group of officials to kneel down again, begging the Queen Mother to preside over the government, while Bing Lun "made it difficult for the young emperor and the people of the world, and respected what he played."

At this time, it was already a scorching heat, several places in the main hall of Chongde Palace used gold plates to offer ice, and at a certain time, the serving eunuchs rolled up the bamboo curtains on the outer eaves, and the evening winds wrapped the ice cubes The coolness of the water invades the vast and deep palace, making people feel refreshed.

The memorials on the case were piled up like a hill, and they were all expressions of congratulations by the officials. Binglun read a few of them casually, but they were nothing more than words of praise to the saints. The corners of her mouth couldn't help but smile. None of the civil servants wanted her to be in charge of the court, but the moment she nodded in agreement, the wind direction changed immediately. Of course, the diehards represented by Wang Zhong and Chai Biao did not show up, because in their eyes, her Coming to the imperial court will inevitably further lead to the Huo family's turmoil.

The dessert room sent ice cheese. The milky white cheese was placed in a golden plate, crystal clear like jade. This is made of milk and icing sugar with mint powder as the main ingredients, and it is frozen with fruit juice. It is always prepared in the palace. Binglun took a silver spoon to eat something to cool off the summer heat, and said, "Ask someone to send some to Xiefang Palace."

Qinzhu said: "Yes, this servant will let Shutong go to the Lord Chen's womb."

Seeing her hesitation, Binglun suddenly remembered that Su Yun and Lian Zhen still live in the same palace, so he said again: "Send some to Master Chen and Master Rui."

Qinzhu hurriedly agreed to go, Binglun read a few more memorials, and Gao Xian came in to report: "Queen Mother, uncle of the Three Kingdoms has returned to Beijing."

Binglun suddenly raised his head: "Huo Lin is back?"

"Yes." Gao Xian changed his color with joy, and hurriedly said: "Uncle Guo is waiting outside the palace to meet the Queen Mother, but it is already late at this time, and the third master has been busy all the way..."

"No." Binglun interrupted him: "I'm going to see him tonight."

After the grand ceremony, Zong Xu changed into filial piety and went back to Changle Palace to guard the spirit, while Lian Zhen also retreated to the Dragon Palace with the concubines.After having a vegetarian meal that night, the two returned to Xiefang Palace together, and Lian Zhen invited Su Yun to sit with her.

Baozhen brewed two cups of incense, and the little maid brought up various tea and food. Lian was really tired all day, holding a white jade cup, smelling the fragrance of jasmine, feeling a little bit at ease, but Su Yun's brows were deeply locked, her face full Grief.

"Yun'er, you are a concubine now, and you don't have to worry about being buried or becoming a monk." Lian Zhen said, "Why do you still look like this?"

Su Yun came back to his senses, and sighed softly: "Although you don't have to worry about your life, but the way you are now is not much different from becoming a monk."

Lian Zhen looked at her, and said tentatively: "Yun'er, do you... really love the late emperor?"

"I..." Su Yun was a little confused: "He is the emperor and our husband, I... shouldn't we all love him?" After a pause, he continued: "Besides, although he may not be very favored Me, but at least it's not too bad for me."

Lian Zhen bowed her head to drink tea and remained silent. Su Yun looked at her: "Lian'er, you..."

"I don't love him." Lian Zhen shook her head and said calmly: "Being selected, entering the palace, being favored, falling out of favor, everything is beyond my control. Now that he is dead, I can't even be sad. My tears are not flow for him."

"When it comes to involuntary control, we are all the same, but even if you are not sad for the emperor, don't you feel sad for your own future?" Su Yun looked disappointed: "We are still so young, we will be widowed in the palace , no freedom, no one to accompany, just like the flowers that grow in the darkest and remote corners, when they bloom the most beautifully, no one appreciates them, and finally wither silently."

Lian Zhen hesitated to speak, and after a long while, said softly: "This is doomed as soon as you enter the palace."

"Yes, this is our destiny." Su Yun smiled wryly, "Lianzhen, am I greedy, right? A while ago, I only wanted to save my life, but now that I have saved my life, I have started to worry about other things."

"Yun'er, you want to open up more, in fact, the life in the palace is not so bad."

Su Yun smiled wryly and said, "At least be well pampered and well-clothed and well-fed."

"At least I still have you by my side, and there is also Wen Ying."

Su Yun was surprised: "Wen Ying?"

"That's right, I overheard the Empress Dowager saying that Prince Ying was wronged, he is the Emperor's uncle, and his title should be restored, if so, then Wen Ying is expected to enter the palace to meet us. "

Su Yun was very happy: "Really?"

Lian Zhen smiled slightly: "It should be true."

Su Yun was about to ask in detail, when the little maid came in and said, "Master, Aunt Shutong from the Empress Dowager's palace has sent someone to bring frozen cheese."

She changed it to "Frozen Cheese" because of the taboo of the name of Ice Wheel, Lian Zhen hurriedly said: "Please."

Shu Tong came in, saw Su Yun was there, went forward to salute each other, and asked people to bring the ice cream, Lian Zhen and Su Yun stood up at the same time to thank him, Lian Zhen asked: "What is the Queen Mother doing?"

Shu Tong said with a smile: "If you go back to Master Chen, the Empress Dowager is reading the scriptures right now."

"The queen mother is busy now, and even you are rarely seen. Since you are here, let's drink some tea and talk to Baozhen and the others before going."

"No, this servant has something else to do, I need to go back earlier, otherwise Sister Qinzhu should talk again."

"Wait." Lian Zhen glanced at Su Yun with some scruples, and still said softly: "Although this cheese is delicious, it is too cold and easy to hurt the stomach. If the Queen Mother eats it, you should advise her to eat less." .”

"Yes, the servant has remembered."

Seeing Shutong going out, Lian Zhenfang turned to look at Su Yun, but saw a strange look on her face, and she felt a little guilty, pretending to be calm and said: "What?"

"It's nothing." Su Yun said: "I just feel that you are more attentive to the empress dowager than you were to the emperor before. No wonder the empress dowager treats you differently, and actually gave you the title of 'Chen'."

"It's just a title. You and Concubine Jin are no different."

"Of course it's different. I can still sit here and drink tea with you today, it's all because of you." Su Yun hesitated for a while, then said in a low voice: "Lian'er, the relationship between you and me is still the same as before. Is it? Between us, anything can be said, right?"

Seeing that the question was strange, Lian Zhen hurriedly said, "Naturally."

Su Yun's body trembled imperceptibly, and she lowered her head and said, "I know, I should accept the Empress Dowager's love, but, too many people have died recently, and it's too miserable. When I think of them, I... I couldn't sleep, and... I was also very scared of the Queen Mother." She stretched out her cold palm and held Lian Zhen's hand: "Lian'er, the Queen Mother is a very rich person, you...by her side , be careful in everything.”

Lian Zhen was stunned at first, but then she became a little annoyed: "The queen mother is very good, I don't need to be careful, let alone be afraid of her!" She realized her excitement, turned her face away, and after a while, Fang slowly He said: "Yun'er, you don't understand many things, don't say these things in the future, you will get yourself into trouble."

Huo Lin went to Beijing from Xijiang, traveling day and night, quite dusty, the eunuch took him to clean his face, changed into clean clothes, and then led him into the South Study Room of Chongde Palace. The tall and slender figure behind the case knelt down with a "plop" and shouted excitedly, "Sister!"

Gao Xian winked, all the eunuchs retreated respectfully, Binglun slowly walked to Huo Lin's side, pulled him up with his own hands, and said with a smile: "I was thinking, it's time for you to come too." Huo Lin was led into the inner room by her, only to find that there was already a table of delicate vegetarian feasts inside.

Bing Lun signaled him to sit down opposite: "The last time we met, it wasn't the time to talk. Today we meet again as siblings, but we had a long talk all night. It's a pity that you didn't have time to attend the emperor's enthronement ceremony."

Huo Lin said: "As soon as my father received the letter, he ordered me to rush to the capital with [-] elites. When we arrived in Yizhou, there was news that the second prince had succeeded to the throne. After inquiring about it, I ordered the army to return. Bring a few soldiers and continue on your way. Thank God! The second prince has successfully ascended the throne, if there is a slight mistake, the consequences will be disastrous."

Seeing his expression, Binglun knew that he must be in a state of anxiety all the way, and felt a little warmth in his heart: "Brother, do you know you're back?"

Huo Lin shook his head, Binglun said: "From today onwards, you have to get along well with them."

"Since my sister said so, I will try my best." Huo Lin frowned slightly, his handsome face like a knife was expressionless: "But sister, you should know that cousin Wanxi is dead. In my heart, my sister is me. The only relative in the world."

Binglun slightly paused the hand pouring the tea for him, but the tea did not splash out at all. She stared at the teacup, and when it was full, she put down the pear-shaped jade pot with cloud and dragon patterns steadily.

Huo Lin said: "I will always remember how you and your cousin protected me when I was young."

Binglun looked at his tall and straight figure like a bamboo, and said with emotion: "You are grown up now, you have grown into a man, and you don't need protection anymore."

"Rin'er only hopes that one day she can protect her sister."

Binglun said: "I know that you have suffered a lot in Xijiang these years, but unfortunately I can't do anything for you."

"I also know that my sister has been living in the palace these years, and her life is very difficult." Huo Lin looked into her eyes: "But every year, I will receive warm clothes from you, which means a lot to me. More than usual."

The two were silent for a long time, Binglun forced a smile and said, "Come on, tell me about your life in the frontier."

"Actually, there is nothing to talk about. The yellow sand in the sky, the wind like a knife, the sound of horseshoes and horns in the middle of the night, and the rough food... At first, I was not used to it, but later, I thought it was very good. I My body and mind are gradually becoming stronger." Huo Lin's black eyes were clear, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised: "I often think of the frontier poems you taught me when I was young. its environment."

Binglun took a sip of tea and said slowly: "Then do you remember the Hun biographies I taught you to read?"

Startled, Huo Lin replied, "I remember."

"Modun Shanyu Mingdi killed his father, what did you say?"

Huo Lin thought for a while, then said: "Modun made a kind of loud arrow, trained his subordinates to ride horses and archery skills, and ordered: "Anyone who doesn't follow me to shoot the target with my loud arrow, will be killed with all my strength." Be beheaded.' First, shoot birds and beasts. If someone does not shoot the target of the arrow, Modu kills him. Soon, Modu shoots his own good horse with a loud arrow. If the people on the left and right dare not shoot, Modu will kill him immediately. After a few days, Modu shot his beloved wife with loud arrows. People around were afraid and did not dare to shoot, so Modu killed them again. After a while, Modu went out to hunt , Shoot Shanyu’s good horse with a loud arrow, and the people on the left and right follow him. So Modun knew that the people on his left and right were all available. Later, he went hunting with his father Touman Shanyu..."

Seeing him stop suddenly, Binglun said, "Continue."

"He shot Tou Man Chanyu in the head with a loud arrow, and the people around him also shot arrows at Tou Man Chanyu. Tou Man died on the spot, and he established himself as Shan Yu." Huo Lin was slightly startled, with a look on his face. But it didn't change at all: "Sister, don't you..."

"Of course I don't want to kill my father, and I won't ask you to kill my father." Binglun said: "I just hope that, under the premise of gaining father's trust, you can have an army that is completely obedient."

"I will live up to my sister's expectations." Huo Lin is a smart person, and Kuang has been close to her since childhood. With just a few words, he fully understands what she thinks in her heart, so he said: "Father has no worries about the future. There is no need to delay the battle any longer, he asked me to tell you, please rest assured, he will severely defeat Tuyuhun and Tubo in a short period of time, and will wipe out the Western Regions in one fell swoop, but my sister must know that my father's ambition is not here."

"That's right, Lin'er, you said that you want to protect me, and that's exactly what I need." Binglun looked at him, eyes full of trust and expectation, and said softly: "Although I am already the Queen Mother, but , you have to know that everything is just beginning now."
