Red Mansion: He Doesn't Want to Bend

The Empress Dowager is a vigorous and resolute person, once she has said her words, she will decide what to do in the future, so naturally she must follow through.It's just that she was still thinking about Murong after all and became infatuated. Seeing him sitting there dazed, she couldn't bear it and called out: "Tongyi."

Tong Yi was waiting outside, when she heard this sound, she hurriedly opened the door and came in, "The servant is here."

"Go and see, Mr. Lin has never woken up."

"Yes." Tong Yi responded.

Murong Yi moved his lips: "Xueluo Biyu has enough stamina, she must still be asleep."

The Empress Dowager said: "It's one thing to be awake, but it's not necessarily a bad thing to be asleep."

He lowered his head, feeling weak all over, and his mouth was dry: "My son will go to the border in two days."

"...Before you leave, you should also remember to go to your brother's place."

"Yes, my son knows. It's the right thing to say goodbye."

The empress dowager's eyes also showed a hint of hurt, this is her son, he has not been back for a long time, and he will go to the frontier again, suffer from the wind and frost, and live the life of licking blood on the tip of a knife.Is there any reason for her not to be sad?

It's just that it has become like this now, and there is Lin Jue between the new emperor and him... It's better to go to the frontier early, although it is more difficult, there is no danger of life in the end.

After all, the mother and son sat together speechless, and then heard someone outside reporting that the previous banquet was over, and the emperor came to pay his respects to the empress dowager.

The corners of the Empress Dowager's lips curled up, but it was a smile that was not a smile: "Tell the emperor to wait outside, I will come out after changing clothes."

After only saying this, Tong Yi came in again, and said to the Empress Dowager: "Young Master Lin just ordered tea, Chu Gui was holding the tea, and served with a cup, it seems that he has fallen asleep again. .”

The Empress Dowager nodded, raised her hand, and Tong Yi hurriedly stepped forward to help her.She stood up and looked down at Murong until her hair rose: "I know you are reluctant, go and have a look, don't say that I am a queen mother, I am unreasonable."

Murong Zhizhi didn't speak, the Empress Dowager took two steps forward, but stopped again.Standing there straight, only one back is shrouded in the light, but he didn't look back.Her voice was a bit dry, and there were many unspeakable emotions embedded in it, but she could only hide it after all, and she said: "So, don't hate the queen mother."

Hearing this sentence, he suddenly raised his head, with a handsome face and blurred eyes, he said: "My son can't."

The sound of jade and stone clashing outside was crisp and sweet, and some palace people rolled up the bead curtain to welcome the Empress Dowager out.Murong Zhizhi sat blankly for another moment, then got up and went to Dongnuange.

Dongnuange is not far away, only a few steps away.When the palace guards at the door saw him, they all bowed in salute.A servant wanted to help push the door, but he stopped him: "No, I will come by myself."

With that said, he raised his hand to push the door.He touched the door with his hand, but paused again.He retracted it, looked down at his clothes, and saw a crease on the left sleeve, he stretched out five fingers, and smoothed it out carefully, then he felt relieved and pushed the door in.

There is a brazier in the Dongnuan Pavilion, which means a harmonious spring.All the curtains and curtains were hung down, creating a world of its own, which seemed extraordinarily gentle and soft.

Murong Zhizhi slowed down his pace and went in, Chu Gui led a few little girls and guarded through the curtain.Murong Zhizhi went over, but he didn't accept their courtesy, he just waved his hand and ordered them to go down.All the servants in the palace retreated for a while, so he opened the curtain and went inside.Going around the screen, the apricot-yellow satin curtain embroidered with blessings and longevity patterns was tightly covered, and he couldn't see half of the inside through the curtain.

He took two steps forward, but stopped again.The sofa is decisive on the battlefield, even if he knew that he admired Lin Jue that day, he went forward relentlessly and never gave up half a point.But now, it is clear that Lin Jue is sleeping a few steps away, but he is flinching.

Right here, a slightly hoarse voice came through the curtain: "Bring tea."

Murong Zhizhi turned and went out, called Chu Gui in, and brought him some tea.But I hid behind the pillar and looked at him peekingly.He must have been very drunk and fast asleep.Waking up in a daze and asking for tea, his face was flushed, even the corners of his eyes were slightly red.It's like a peach blossom blooming on his face, making people sink to death under his bewildered eyes.

Lin Jue drank half a cup of warm tea, but didn't fall asleep right away.Chu Gui took a large apricot-yellow satin pillow and put it on his back.He fell back, slightly crooked, and asked, "Are you outside just now?"

The sound was low and hoarse, and it was impossible to tell what emotion was hidden in it.

Chu Gui was slightly startled, then smiled and said: "The servant has been waiting outside."

Lin Jue didn't ask any further questions, but just nodded slightly, and said, "Go down, I'm a little sober from the wine, and I'll take a rest for a while, and then I'll go to the Empress Dowager to apologize and thank you."

He actually knew that he was in Shoukang Palace right now, no wonder his face was calm and he didn't show any loss.What a delicate heart.

Chu Gui responded and went outside.He glanced at Murong Zhizhi behind the pillar, saw him nodding, and then lowered the curtain.

Murong even looked back through the curtain and took a deep look, but he didn't open the curtain after all, and went in to see him.

Lin Jue hated herself so much, it must be because... she didn't want to see him...

He turned his head away, ignoring the pain in his heart, forcing himself to smile.He refuses to let other people misunderstand Lin Jue, even if he doesn't see him, he still wants others to watch him, it's a very happy conversation.

Lin Jue sat on the canopy bed, through the curtain she could see the tall figure outside.The cheeks that had been flushed just now were pale as paper, and there was water in his eyes, but he never let them down, bent his lips, and cursed in a low voice: "You are really stupid, how can there be such a tall palace maid?" After a while , and asked softly: "Why don't you come in and see me, I want to see you too. Even if we are still hurting each other, it's fine, anyway... we can meet..."

The lamp with the floor shade on the side exploded and made crackling noises.With just this sound, it was immediately calm again.

No one answered this question.

The curtain seemed to be gradually dimming, and only Lin Jue was left, sitting there alone, like a clay sculpture, able to sit forever.He looked straight ahead, as if he could still see the tall figure.Obviously that person has already left.

Lin Jue smiled, and said in a warm voice: "If you go, I will go to Suzhou in a while. It can be regarded as a world apart. At this time, it is not easy to see each other because of the distance. Therefore, I am here, and I want to tell you a few words. If it is still cold today, you go to the frontier, where there is a lack of food and clothing, even if you are strong, you can’t bear it. Be more tired on the road, don't catch yourself blind at that time. Also... I saw you from afar at the banquet today, and you looked thinner than before. Although a man is thinner and looks more energetic, you still want to fight hard on the battlefield Let’s put them all down, and take care of yourself.” He paused, and then added: “Actually, I’m a stingy person. You came to say goodbye. Putting aside all personal affairs, marrying a wife and having children is a serious matter. It's just that I don't want to persuade you like this after all..." At this point, my throat was already choked. "I can't look back. I have fallen into a demon in this life, and I dare not think about the blessing of having a beautiful wife and child. What do you rely on? Therefore... May you have no prosperity of children, nor the joy of pampering concubines... "

After all, he is not generous enough to wish his beloved to find another love.I would rather be vicious once.

The cold wind whizzed past outside the window, causing plum blossoms to fall one after another, and snowflakes dancing wildly, not knowing where they were going.It is Lin Jue's heart, like the green plums and white snow outside the palace, scattered and scattered, past the end of the world.

The Empress Dowager and the new emperor were sitting opposite each other on the small kang, the new emperor probably rushed over from the banquet, but he didn't even change his clothes, presumably because of his extreme anxiety.

One or two, that's all.The empress dowager sighed helplessly in her heart, and told Tong Yi: "Bring the brocade handkerchief."

Tong Yi took the brocade handkerchief, the Empress Dowager took it with her hand, and personally dusted the emperor's hair with snow to wipe it off. "The emperor is the emperor now, and he can no longer do things according to his own mood. If his servants see it, what will he say? As an emperor, you are silent when you are sad, and you are silent when you are happy. It is all about yourself. The emotions in the bottom of my heart cannot be known to outsiders."

After listening to these words quietly, the emperor agreed, and then asked: "The grandson came here in the snow, because he has something to ask the old ancestor."

"I know what you want to ask." The Empress Dowager put the brocade handkerchief back into the gilded wooden tray, and waved her hand to tell Tong Yi to go down.Sit back to the small kang and take tea to eat. "Yangguang Palace is now the emperor's residence. It doesn't matter which minister you value, even if you let him stay for a night. It's just that not everyone can live in the Nuan Pavilion. The family law of the ancestors is handed down. Even if you are the emperor, Nor can it be violated."

"Yes, my grandson got confused after drinking too much wine for a while. Those servants didn't remind my grandson, but told my grandson to make a mistake." He couldn't prevent the empress dowager from hurting him by not saying a word about Murong. The people in the palace didn't talk about Lin Jue's affairs, but only mentioned the family law of the ancestors.It's not good to mention anything else, so I have to apologize with a smile.

The Empress Dowager asked for the scissors, took the small golden scissors, and went to cut a bottle of Bimei on the table.Said softly: "Slaves who don't understand the rules should be dealt with. Just like this branch, if it is an eyesore, it should be cut off. You are the emperor, and the art of controlling people should not be taught to you by my grandmother. .”

The emperor smiled and said: "The ancestors are willing to teach me once. This is the grace bestowed by the ancestors. There is nothing wrong with it. The ability of the ancestors to regulate people is first-class."

"It's true, that's the ability to regulate concubines. Women in the harem don't interfere with the previous court." The empress dowager put down the scissors and took a soft handkerchief to wipe her hands.The emperor saw it, and hurriedly took a soft handkerchief and presented it.The empress dowager took it and used it, and it was very smooth without any pause.As it should be. "Your uncle drank too much wine and was messing around in your palace. I just happened to see it. You don't have to worry about his face. As an uncle, he doesn't know how to show his own face. Instead, he will ask the emperor's nephew to go." Accommodate him? There is no such reason!"

The emperor's smile froze on the surface, after all, he was his own son, and what the empress dowager said was obviously a responsibility, but in fact it was full of protection. "The old ancestor is serious. It was a family, so what should we share with each other. If we eat too much wine, we lose our sense of proportion. This is something that can be forgiven."

The author has something to say: In order to make up for the recent abusive chapters, today's readership gave me some extras.Presented as a gift to the Empress Dowager Yi's [-]-character fanfare, which is related to the main text.Extra episode

When Yi Zhenjia followed her mother into the palace gate, she never thought that she would take the position of empress, nor did she ever think that she could go from empress to empress dowager, which is extremely rare .

Most of the queens were left out in the cold.Even those who are favored can't escape the fate of premature death.Yi Zhenjia is an anomaly.

The Yi family was a very prosperous family in the early years, and their ancestors were officials of the first rank, and they were highly valued by the royal family.It's just passed down from generation to generation, and there's nothing left except Qing Ming.

Yi Zhenjia was 16 years old when she entered the palace, such an ordinary age, it was a good time to talk about others.Her father died young, but she had an elder brother, but at that time, her elder brother was taking the provincial examination far away, so he had no time to take care of her.There is also a younger brother underneath, if the younger brother is capable, he can also make decisions for her.It's just that this younger brother is really too young, only eight years old.

Yi Zhenjia's mother is a visionary person, and she refuses to ask Yi Zhenjia to marry someone casually.Although they are gradually declining now, after all the centipedes are dead but not stiff.So her mother found the imperial clothes that she hadn't worn for a long time, and ordered someone to pass a sign to the palace, begging to see the queen mother.

Yuan Gao ordered his wife to enter the palace, and all he saw were the queens.It's just that the current emperor, who has only succeeded to the throne for two years, has lost his empress.Later, there was Concubine Liu Gui who doted on the Sixth Palace, but that was all.Although it is one step away from the queen's position, after all the concubine is the concubine.Even if Feng Yin is in charge, it is still out of her turn to meet the wife.

Now the queen mother is also a very good person.Hearing the palace man's reply, he told her to lead Yi Zhenjia into the palace the next day.

In this way, Yi Zhenjia had the opportunity to meet the emperor.

The sun was shining brightly that day, the sky was clear, and it was an excellent weather.

Yi Zhenjia dressed more flamboyantly than usual, but after all, Yi's house was completely empty, and even though the material was new, the patterns were no longer fashionable.The newly made clothes looked like they were half new and not old.The clothes of the Yi family's mother and daughter are the only sights in the harem.

It's just that no matter how unfashionable the patterns or old styles are, they can't hide Yi Zhenjia's gorgeous color like peaches and plums.With that stunning beauty, even if she is the most favored concubine in the harem such as Liu Guifei, she can't be suppressed by half, and can only take second place, reduced to a background.

Seeing that the queen mother liked Yi Zhenjia very much, she also felt that it was very reasonable after hearing Madam Yi's words.Right now, Yi Zhenjia was left in the palace, and she was not asked to do anything, but just to talk with herself, while asking Concubine Liu Gui to put this matter on the agenda.

Unexpectedly, seeing each other is like looking at each other, but in the end the person becomes the emperor.

Mrs. Yi was seriously ill on the bed, and wanted to ask her daughter to go back and have a look.This is a reasonable thing to do.Yi Zhenjia got into the sedan chair and hurried out.Who would have expected such a coincidence that the sedan chair was broken and only stopped halfway to wait for someone to lift it up again, when it ran into the emperor.

That day the emperor was only wearing black brocade clothes embroidered with a five-clawed golden dragon, and he came from afar, looking very imposing.Yi Zhenjia was sitting in a soft sedan chair, not knowing whether it would be better to come out to salute, or to pretend that she hadn't seen her.

Unexpectedly, the emperor was very leisurely and carefree. He came forward, and when the maid in the palace had seen the ceremony, he asked, "Who is sitting inside?"

This time, even if Yi Zhenjia wanted to pretend that she hadn't seen the emperor, she couldn't.

She had no choice but to bow out of the sedan chair and turn sideways, not daring to look at him, nor daring to tell him to look at her own face.Only this half concealed the ceremony: "Little daughter Yi, please greet the emperor."
