Remembrance Hibiscus GL

In the dark blue night sky, there is a cold moon hanging, as bright as frost and snow, the wind blows through the palace courtyard, the faint fragrance floats, and the tree shadows sway, making the surroundings even more silent.

Binglun stood with his hands behind his back, silently looking at the deep and boundless sky, thinking of something, all the servants stood far away at the bottom of the steps, no one dared to approach.After a long time, Gao Xian felt more and more that the night was as cold as water, and the chill invaded his body. He didn't care about being reprimanded, so he ordered the little maid to take an apricot yellow brocade cloak, and he stepped forward carefully, and said softly: "It's windy at night, the Queen Mother Wanjin's cloak If you catch a cold, you should go in." While gently draping the cloak on her shoulders.

Binglun was stunned, turned around slowly, and looked down but saw a slender figure like a bamboo, reflected on the bright bluestone ground, very lonely and desolate.

Gao Xian looked at her expression, worried, knelt down and said: "I beg the queen mother to be sympathetic to the servant."

Binglun sighed lightly: "Let's go."

Gao Xian followed behind her, and when she entered the inner room, seeing no one around, she suddenly said in a low voice: "Don't worry, Empress Dowager, Master Chen has rewarded Lv Ying generously, and ordered the slave to make all arrangements properly, Lv Ying will surely arrive home safely, And it can ensure sufficient food and clothing for the next life.”

Binglun snorted softly, and put down the teacup in his hand: "Do you need to tell me this?"

Gao Xian hit a soft nail and didn't dare to speak again.Binglun said: "Go out."

"Yes." Gao Xian was about to signal for the maid to come in, but she said again: "There is no need to ask someone to come in to serve you." Gao Xian kowtowed and quietly exited.

Binglun finished changing and lay down on the phoenix couch, but his thoughts were complicated and he didn't feel sleepy. The wind outside was getting stronger, and the rustling sound entered his ears slightly, which sounded infinitely bleak.She had spent countless cold and lonely nights in the palace, tormented by memories, but she had never been like this night, her heart was full of uneasiness and longing. . . . . .Longing for a beautiful and soft body, longing for the sweet murmur in the ear, longing for the touch of fingers passing through the black silk, longing for the faint but lingering fragrance. . . . . .

This desire was so strange and so strong that it almost broke her extraordinary self-control in one fell swoop. She clenched the prayer beads in her hand, turned over, and closed her eyes again.

No sleep for one night.

When I woke up in the morning, there were court officials such as Yang Yan waiting to see them. It turned out that several counties and counties in Yuezhou had a severe autumn drought, and the people were severely affected. Memorials from central Beijing and other places flew like snowflakes. Counting 10 taels of disaster relief, after discussing with the courtiers, the imperial envoy was appointed to inspect the disaster situation and appease the hearts of the people.

After finishing these things, it was already noon, and the imperial dining room delivered lunch. Binglun tasted the yam and pheasant soup, then took off the napkin with bright yellow lining, threw it on the table, and waved his hand lightly , the exquisite food and drinks on the table were almost withdrawn intact.

Gao Xian laughed and said: "I think today's dishes are not to the Empress Dowager's liking, so this servant will ask someone to warn the imperial chefs to cook them again."

Binglun let out a "huh": "People in Yuezhou were affected by the disaster, and now they can't even drink water. Do I still have the desire to eat?"

The words were so serious that Gao Xian's face changed with fright: "I didn't mean that, but I saw that the Queen Mother's diet was tasteless, and I was afraid that it would not benefit the Phoenix's body, so I was very worried, and my words were thoughtless, I beg the Queen Mother to forgive me .”

Binglun stood up: "I'm going out to get some air, you just follow along."

"Yes."

Gao Xian knew that she was not happy, and the disaster situation in Yuezhou was getting worse, so he didn't dare to use the palace rules to dissuade her, but followed closely behind.

Go east from Xunfeng Hall, walk through the straight corridor paved with colored stones, and then turn around the palace wall. . . . . .She walked very fast at the beginning, and Gao Xian followed her almost all the way at a trot. Seeing that she stopped suddenly, he was a little confused, so he whispered: "Queen Mother, do you want me to ask someone to go in and tell Master Chen to let her get ready?" ?”

Binglun pursed her lips tightly and shook her head. She paced back and forth, hesitating again and again, as if mustering up a lot of courage, she continued to walk forward.

The rules in the palace are complicated and strict, making people dull and depressing, but the atmosphere where Lian Zhen lives has always been different.Someone was laughing and whispering in the veranda, someone was teasing parrots under the eaves, and someone was sitting under the osmanthus tree doing needlework. When Binglun and Gao Xian came in, everyone was surprised, and then they knelt quietly. Suddenly, the courtyard became extremely quiet.

Gao Xian stopped them in time with gestures, and then saw Baozhen running down the steps in panic, knelt down and said: "The servants did not know the Queen Mother was coming, and they failed to meet her, they really deserve death."

Gao Xian smiled and said, "It was the Empress Dowager who kept it secret. Those who don't know are not guilty. Girl Baozhen, get up."

Binglun coughed lightly: "I haven't seen your master for a few days, I'm here to see her."

Baozhen said: "Master and Aunt Hengbo are playing chess inside. If you know that the Empress Dowager is coming, you must be very happy. This servant will go in and report to Master."

She hurried in, but after a while, she turned back, with a strange and awkward expression on her face, and said: "Queen Mother, the master is not feeling well, and has already fallen asleep, slave...... slave... ..." She knew that her words sounded extremely rude, fearing that the Empress Dowager would see her offence, her pretty face flushed red, and it became even more difficult to say the following few sentences.

Gao Xian was also stunned: "This..."

But Binglun didn't take it seriously, and just said: "Since I've already fallen asleep, it's inconvenient to disturb me, I'll come back another day." She glanced at Gao Xian lightly: "Let's go."

Occasionally, there were one or two cicadas singing outside the hall, which disturbed people.Binglun put down the book in his hand, took a sip of tribute chrysanthemum tea, unfolded another memorial, and read it carefully.

An inner eunuch came in and reported, "Queen Mother, the Marquis of Xiliang has arrived at the palace and is waiting outside to see the Queen Mother."

Binglun's hand trembled slightly, a drop of cinnabar fell on the snow-white paper, it was as red as blood, it was particularly eye-catching, she slowly put Zihao on the pen holder, and said lightly: "Tell him to come in."

Huo Ze was wearing a brand-new red python robe with a gold and jade belt around his waist. He still looked like an unrestrained nobleman. He strode into the palace with big strides, lifted the corners of his robe, and knelt down on his knees: "My minister begs the queen mother, Jin An. .”

"Get flat." Bing Lun said, "From the capital to this place, you have had a lot of hard work all the way."

Huo Ze was getting up, when he heard this, he hurriedly bowed and said, "Thank you Queen Mother for your concern, I don't have to work hard."

"How is everything at home? Is your wife still in good health? The criminal department has a lot of affairs, can my elder brother handle it well?"

Although Huo Ze has always been dissatisfied with her not giving him a real job, but hearing her ask about his mother, he felt a little happy: "The family is doing well, my wife is in good health, my eldest brother is acting as the punishment department, and everything is in order, and the family is very happy. In memory of the Empress Dowager, Tuo Weichen greeted the Empress Dowager."

"Actually, you shouldn't come here. Your son was born not long ago. You should spend more time with your wife and children at home." Binglun said: "Now the elder brother is alone in the capital, the old and the young in the family, he has to worry about everything. I'm not worried either."

"Since the last assassination incident, Eldest Brother and all of us are worried about the safety of the Empress Dowager. Although Eldest Brother can't get away, I must come here so that everyone in the family can feel at ease."

Binglun said: "Since that's the case, you can just stay here."

Since she was a child, she had a cold temper and didn't like to talk much. She was quite similar to Nai's father, so Huo Ze always felt a little afraid of her, not to mention that they were not born of the same mother, and their relationship became more alienated over time.Although there were a few caring words at this moment, they always sounded deserted and impersonal. At this point, Huo Ze didn't know how to continue, he just said: "Yes."

The air suddenly became a little frozen, Binglun cleared his throat: "You are exhausted from the journey, go to rest first, and I will give you a banquet to catch the wind in the evening."

"Yes."

Huo Ze's legs were numb, eager for her to say this, he quickly kowtowed, walked back a few steps, turned around and left.

In the Buddhist hall, sandalwood is wafting, and the fragrance permeates the depths of the temple. Lianzhen kneels on the futon, dressed in white clothes that are spotless, such as black silk, and is simply pulled up with a jade hairpin. It looks ethereal and pure, as if Fairy Nine Heavens.

Several counties in Yuezhou suffered from drought. In addition to allocating money to relieve the disaster, the Empress Dowager also issued a decree, ordering high-ranking concubines and concubines in the palace to bathe and fast, and worship Buddha to pray for the victims.Most of the emperors of this dynasty believed in Buddhism. Even in this Guangle Palace, there were more than ten Buddhist halls. During the whole day, Lianzhen, Qing Taifei and others went to each Buddhist hall to do their homework after sleeping and eating.

Lianzhen had a pious look on his face, and folded his hands together to pray. After a long time, Fang slowly opened his eyes. The gold-plated Buddha statue in front of him was solemn, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes. His face seemed to reveal infinite compassion for the world. Lianzhen looked up, unconsciously It even moistened the eye sockets.

"Lian'er."

A figure suddenly came out from behind the huge Buddha statue. Lian Zhen was taken aback. She immediately stood up, and after taking a closer look, she took a few steps back and said coldly, "It's you, why are you here?"

Binglun felt ashamed in her heart, but seeing her cold attitude, she could only say: "I...you haven't seen me these few days, so I have no choice but to come here to see you."

She looked embarrassed, and her attitude was rare. If it was in the past, Lian Zhen would have softened her heart long ago, but this time she was so hurt that she turned a blind eye. "See me?" She took another step back and kept a distance from her: "The queen mother has a lot of affairs every day, and she is busy teaching people to read and write after finishing the government affairs. How can I have such a big face that I can be summoned by the queen mother Fengjia in person?" ?”

Binglun blushed and then turned pale, and said in a low voice: "I know you are annoying me, but she has already left the palace, you should calm down a bit."

Lian Zhen said: "If she's gone, isn't there someone else? The most beautiful women in the world are gathered in the palace, and you can't even teach them. What's more, your power is no different from that of the emperor. You can imitate them. After a while Pick a girl once and fill the harem..."

"Who do you think I am?" Binglun was so angry that her face changed color, she stepped forward and grabbed her hand: "Could it be that in your eyes, I am the same person as him?"

"Yes! You are no different from Zongxun in my eyes!" Lian Zhen gritted her teeth, as if a blunt knife had been cut in her heart: "Don't you want someone to serve you?"

The blue veins on Binglun's forehead were bulging, and he was snorting, obviously extremely angry, Lian Zhen let her grab her hand so painfully, staring at her without fear.

The two looked at each other for a long time, Binglun finally softened, she took her hand, and gently stroked her cheek, her voice was low and bitter: "I didn't do anything, Lian'er, I didn't do anything."

She repeated these words, as if full of sadness and grievances, Lian Zhen's eyes glistened with tears, she lightly sucked her nose, and suddenly said: "She looks like Lin Wanxi, is she really similar?"

Binglun was stunned, unable to speak for a moment, Lianzhen pulled out her hand forcefully, turned her face to one side, Binglun feared that she was going to leave, and hugged her.

Lian Zhenqi said: "You let go! There are many people outside guarding, if you don't let go, I will scream!"

"You call, I will not let go!"

Lian Zhen was angry and impatient, and suddenly bit her arm, Binglun let out a muffled groan, but still hugged her tightly and did not let go, leaned close to her ear and said softly: "Lian Zhen, she is very similar to her." , but I know, she is not her, I know this from the beginning to the end, I know it." She was incoherent, repeating this sentence, until finally there was a cry in her voice, Lian Zhen finally stopped struggling.
