[Comprehensive] It is not easy to be abandoned

Hearing that the palace people came to report that it was the empress who came, Xiao Zhuang was slightly surprised, secretly pondering the reason for her visit, and waved his hand to let her come in.

In the backlight, Meng Guqing came in lightly. The bright yellow embroidered five-claw golden dragon Kesi phoenix robe was covered with a stone blue satin multicolored cloud and water golden dragon gown. Five elements of pearls are hanging on the crown full of golden beads and golden phoenixes, and the slender spine is as tall and straight as pines and cypresses. He walks towards him at a leisurely pace, blocking the afterglow of the setting sun that is full of halls behind him.

Xiao Zhuang narrowed his eyes slightly, seemed to be aware of it, sat upright for a while, waited for her to stand in the center of the hall, and greeted her meticulously, Fang said: "Why is the Queen coming to Ai's family?"

Meng Guqing paid homage again, and said: "I have been in the back seat for three years, and I know that I have no virtue, so I specially invite the Central Palace to draw up a decree, and kneel down to ask the Queen Mother to abolish and establish."

At this moment, Tana realized that what she was holding in her hand was actually the imperial decree of the abolished empress, she was shocked and almost dropped the silk book on the ground, before she recovered her soul, she heard Meng Guqing's order "Tana, present the imperial edict to the empress dowager" , His hands trembled even more.

Glancing at the bright yellow silk book in Tana's hand, Xiao Zhuang stared at Meng Guqing, and said angrily in a cold voice: "Queen, do you know what you are doing? How can it be a joke to abolish a major event?"

"Since you have already invited out the Zhonggong paper form and used the phoenix seal, how can I take it as a joke?" Meng Guqing knelt straight in the center of the hall, with a slight smile on his lips, "Now because The affairs of the servants are turbulent, and people's hearts are fluctuating. Wouldn't it damage the holy name of the emperor if it continues to drag on? If the servants issue an edict of sin against themselves and ask themselves to go down, they can stop the mouths of the world, does the Queen Mother think so? "

Seeing her calmly raise her eyes to look at him, her eyes are clear and peaceful, there is a kind of indifference that does not linger in her mind, Xiao Zhuang was speechless for a moment.La Aunt Su Ma has already sent out all the servants in the palace. In the huge palace, only Xiao Zhuang sitting on the main seat and Meng Gu Qing kneeling on the main hall are left. Xiaozhuang didn't stretch out his hand, but only looked at her silently.

Gradually, a trace of deep sorrow appeared in his eyes, and he sighed dejectedly: "Why are you doing this?"

With just one word, Meng Guqing knew that she agreed in her heart, kowtowed respectfully and earnestly, stood up slowly, walked to the lower end of Xiaozhuang and sat down, Fang Zhanyan said: "Auntie is not Say, we not only live for ourselves, but also for Horqin, for Qing Dynasty?"

"Son, it's my aunt who can't stand you. If it weren't for...the emperor would have poured all the grievances on you." Xiao Zhuang's eyes couldn't help turning red, thinking of Horqin Grassland, thinking of her relatives , her clansman, Meng Guqing is her direct niece, who is pampered like a pearl like a treasure, but she can't protect her anymore.

"Aunt, you don't have to be like this, it's probably my Meng Guqing's fate." Meng Guqing sighed lightly, lowering his eyes slightly to hide the deep meaning in his eyes, "It's just that I'm really... not as good as my aunt in this palace. Let me go to Mount Wutai to pray for the emperor and the Qing Dynasty."

"This..." Xiao Zhuang hesitated, Wutai Mountain is not close to the capital, and it is a quiet place in front of the Buddha, Meng Guqing is still so young, how can she be willing?

"Auntie, just treat me one more time, okay?" Meng Guqing looked up at her expectantly, "As soon as I see the Forbidden City, my heart will... Auntie, let me Stay away from this sad place." At the end of the sentence, his voice was already choked up, he wiped the corners of his eyes lightly with a silk handkerchief, and sighed faintly, "Perhaps, this Buddhist gate is quiet and can wash away the hostility all over my body , to make my heart feel more at ease."

Until Meng Guqing left, Xiaozhuang's heart was still turbulent, distressed, pity, guilty, helpless, really a hundred kinds of feelings in his heart, very complicated.She couldn't help but sighed to Aunt Su Ma: "It's really hard for this child. You said, Qing'er wants to stay away, is he also complaining about Aijia in his heart? If Aijia insists on refusing, even the emperor can't." She was really abolished, but the Ai family... Even though I didn't let go, I have already compromised with the emperor in my heart. Thinking about it, she has seen this clearly, otherwise, with her temperament, how could... ..." Seeing Ming Huang Yizhi in front of her, Xiao Zhuang only felt that it was very dazzling, and her heart felt like a boulder was crushed. She read every word and every sentence on it no less than ten times. The sentence is hard.

"The empress is very intelligent, she will definitely understand your difficulties." Lagu Su Ma comforted her softly,

"I hope so." Xiaozhuang shook his head and sighed, but he didn't have much affirmation in his heart. She knew Qing'er's temperament, and this time he was probably hurt to the extreme. Otherwise, why would he directly use the Zhonggong Note?

"What should the Ai family do about Wutai Mountain? It's so far away, and it's so hard. If there is something beyond the reach of the whip, how can the Ai family explain it to my brother?" I still remember my elder brother sending off his relatives thousands of miles away, sending Meng Gu Qing sent it to him, but now...

"Your maidservant is watching, the empress has a plan in mind, I'm afraid she really thinks it through." More than a thoroughness, in those eyes, there is a clear understanding and compassion for the ups and downs of the world, as if seeing the prosperity of the world overnight I've done it all, and I've seen it through.

"What is the emperor busy with?" Xiao Zhuang finally stretched out his hand, held the scroll of silk book in the palm of his hand, slowly closed his ten fingers, and held it firmly in his hand, "Send someone to invite the emperor to come here."

Hearing that the Empress Dowager invited him later, Shunzhi couldn't help but frowned: For more than a month, he and Xiaozhuang had many disputes over the abolition of the empress, and they broke up every time. I'm afraid it will happen again this time. .However, with the help of filial piety, he had no choice but to go, so he ordered Wu Liangfu to drive to the Cining Palace with a sullen face.

As soon as Xiaozhuang got up and mentioned Meng Guqing, Shunzhi interrupted impatiently: "Emperor Niang doesn't need to excuse her anymore, I have made up my mind, and it is imperative to abolish the Empress. .”

Xiaozhuang looked at him silently, seeing that Shunzhi moved his body uncomfortably, and was about to say goodbye on the pretext of court affairs, but he heard her sigh deeply, as if a heavy stone had been lifted from her shoulders: "Sad I only hope that you will not regret it in the future." After finishing speaking, he turned around and fetched the bright yellow silk book, and handed it to him, "If you insist on doing this, the Ai family has nothing to persuade you, just declare this decree to the world .”

Before he understood the complexity of Xiao Zhuang's words, Shunzhi took it in a daze, opened it, but was really stunned there: this is not what he had thought in his heart to get this honorable position, like extravagance, and have no future. Is it a good excuse for scrapping?

However, when it came out of her mouth, it was inexplicably ironic.

For the next three years, she has never seen her use the Zhonggong Note, but she did not expect that this is the only time, but it was used for her decree to abolish the empress.

In fact, Shunzhi also knew in his heart that although the queen didn't like him, it was not a big fault, but right now, he only felt that the act of "repenting in front of the Buddha with this remaining life" was extremely dazzling, and he couldn't help it. want to escape.

"The queen also begged Ai's family to go to Wutai Mountain to clean up. Ai's family also knows that you have always hated her. Before going to Kunning Palace, it was just a last resort because of the rules of the ancestors. From now on, you don't have to do it anymore. Reluctantly. Once she leaves, I am afraid that it will be difficult to see her again in the future." Although Qing'er said it tactfully, how could she not hear the determination in the words?I am afraid that if there is no accident after leaving this time, I will not come back again.It is precisely because of this that Xiaozhuang hesitated a lot and did not agree to her immediately.But now, seeing Shunzhi's appearance, his heart softened again: instead of looking at each other with disgust, it is better to give him peace.

"Why is this so? Could it be that who would dare to treat her badly if she stays here?" For some reason, Shunzhi felt a strange feeling in his heart, and objected inexplicably, "There are many Buddhist halls and temples in the capital. Why bother to look far away instead of near? Why not just choose a quiet place in Xiyuan, if the Queen Mother wants to see her, it will be more convenient."
