Twilight GL

As night fell, the gates of Princess Xinguo's mansion were closed, and there were heavy guards, all access control, no one could know what happened in the mansion.

The queen also returned to the Hall of Renming.

In one day, many things happened. She sat down in the hall and slowly figured out her thoughts.

The palace people stood quietly, not daring to make a sound, even adding tea and changing water, they also lightened their movements, trying their best not to make a sound.Yun Sang saw clearly from the side, and couldn't help but be surprised, the empress has only entered the palace for half a month, and the dignity of the middle palace should not have been cultivated yet.And she was just the daughter of a small official before, so in Chang'an, a land full of high-ranking officials, nobles, princes and nobles, Guozijian offering wine is really nothing.How could the empress have such power and power, making these palace people who are used to seeing the wealth and honor of the heavenly family feel fearful and serve carefully.

Yun Sang was surprised, and suddenly realized that not only these little palace people, but also the old man who had been in the palace for more than ten years, was also in awe of the empress from the bottom of her heart.

Zheng Mi didn't pay attention to what the palace people thought, she thought about everything, from the attitude of the emperor, to the disputes between the princes, to the layout of the harem, to...Ming Su.She thought about it one by one, and when she came back to her senses, she realized that most of the candles had been burned.

Seeing her looking at the candle, Yun Sang said in a low voice, "It's getting late, it's time for the empress to go to bed."

Zheng Mi nodded, stood up while supporting her hand, Yun Sang raised her chin in all directions, and several court ladies immediately came forward to serve the queen to wash and change her clothes.

Zheng Mi lay down on the couch, Yun Sang lowered the curtain, and quietly retreated to the outside room.The hall fell silent, the silent night, urging people to sleep.

Zheng Mi closed her eyes, her mind was full of thoughts, and she was still thinking about it.She didn't know what time it was until she felt tired and fell into a drowsy sleep.While half dreaming and half awake, she suddenly remembered something. The layout of the Hall of Renming was exactly the same as before. Even the furnishings in the hall and every plant and tree in the garden had hardly been changed. This was done on purpose by the emperor. thought?

Because of this incident, Zheng Mi woke up quite early the next day, and when she got up to wash and wash, she asked Yun Sang as if casually mentioning it, "Who used to live in Renming Hall?"

Yun Sang didn't know why she asked about this, but she still replied respectfully: "Renming Hall has been the empress's palace since the emperor Taizu.

Zheng Mi felt a pain in his heart when he heard the word abolished empress, and he kept smiling, and asked again: "Abolished empress? That should have happened five years ago. Has the Hall of Renming been empty during these five years?"

"On the day the Empress Dowager died, His Majesty issued an edict to seal the Hall of Renming until the empress entered the palace. Then the embargo was lifted and people repaired. His Majesty had an oral order. In order to prevent the delay of the repair process, the wedding date was delayed until the empress was married. , except those craftsmen, no one is allowed to set foot here." Yun Sang said, fearing that the queen would find it unlucky, he hurriedly said: "The most important thing is the symbol of the Hall of Renming, which is the residence of the middle palace, where are the girls in the palace? One who doesn't want to come here, to enjoy the blessing of the middle palace?"

Zheng Mi understood what she meant, smiled, and reassured her: "I think so too."

After she was washed and put on makeup, someone from the palace came to report that the concubine who had come to pay her respects was already waiting in the front hall.

The concubines greeted the queen every morning, and if the prince and princess came to the Hall of Renming to greet each other in the morning and evening, it was for morning and evening.But the children of the royal family, when they grow up a little bit, they all leave the house and are busy with their own affairs. How can they make room for the morning and evening, so they change the first and fifteenth day of every month to come to the queen Please be safe once.

Today is neither the first day nor the fifteenth day of the junior high school, and the children will not come.

Zheng Mi glanced at the copper kettle hourglass in the hall, it was just after Maochu, it was very early.She said with interest: "Which one came so early?"

The palace man replied, "It's Concubine Shu."

Zheng Mi was startled, quite surprised, she remembered that when her aunt was around, Concubine Shu never came to say hello, and usually she didn't even step into the gate of Renming Hall.She had observed that throughout the year, Concubine Shu would only bow to her aunt during the palace banquets during the Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival or New Year's Eve.

At that time, people in the palace often satirized Concubine Shu for being too lonely, aloof and rude.

Why was he called aloof and rude in the past, but now he comes to say hello every day, and he comes so early.

Thinking that she was the last one to leave yesterday, Zheng Mi felt that Concubine Shu might have some deep meaning, so without delay, after making up and changing clothes, she held Yun Sang's hand and went to the front hall.

I don't want to, but Concubine Shu is not in the palace, she only saw a cup of steaming fragrant tea on the table next to the chair she sat in yesterday.

"Concubine Shu has gone to the garden." The little Gong'e at the side reported in good time.

Zheng Mi nodded and followed to the garden.

The garden of Renming Hall is located behind the front hall. The garden is not small, with rare plants and trees, rockeries and attics.Zheng Mi walked along a cobblestone path in the middle, and not long after walking, she saw Concubine Shu with her back turned to this side, standing in front of a clump of peonies that were in full bloom.

She was wearing a pair-breasted long gown of sky blue after the rain, and her hair was made of white jade. She was as elegant as a distant mountain surrounded by smoke and clouds.

Yun Sang was about to announce loudly, but Zheng Mi raised her hand, stopped her from speaking, and walked over by herself.

Walking five steps away, Concubine Shu heard the sound, turned around, saw her, bowed and bowed: "The concubine has seen the queen."

Zheng Mi used to think that she was too harsh, but now because she is Mingsu's mother, she feels very kind.She took a step forward, helped her up, and said with a smile, "Excuse me."

Concubine Shu then said: "Thank you Queen." She stood up straight.

As they got closer, Zheng Mi realized that what Concubine Shu was looking at just now was not the clump of peonies, but a very elegant clump of orchids beside the peonies, but just now, it was blocked by her body.

"Concubine Shu likes orchid grass?" Zheng Mi asked.

Concubine Shu smiled and said, "I like it, I like it very much."

"The bluegrass has a beautiful posture and a delicate fragrance. It is the posture of a gentleman. No wonder you like it." Zheng Mi said, and took another look. On the side of the elegant bluegrass, there was a flamboyant and strong peony planted. The difference between the two is worlds apart. When it fell into one place, it was unexpectedly not abrupt, but the shades were appropriate, very harmonious.

Concubine Shu just smiled and didn't say any more.

It was still early, and the eastern sky was still blue-gray, with a faint red light blooming, and the morning breeze was blowing, making it cool and comfortable.It's just that in this season, the refreshment at this time is only for a moment. Everyone knows that within half an hour, it will inevitably be the scorching heat of the rising sun.

While talking with Concubine Shu, Zheng Mi looked at her secretly, and the more he looked at her, the more he realized that whether she came early or left late, it seemed that she had no deep meaning, but just wanted to stay in the Hall of Renming for a while.

This idea is ridiculous.

Zheng Mi grinned to herself, her eyes flicked over the bushes behind the peonies, and her smile faltered.Covered by vegetation, dense branches and leaves intertwined, deep in the dark green, is an attic, where Ming Su studied when he was young.

There are many princes who study in the palace, but there are very few princesses who like to read, and even if they like it, according to the practice in the palace, most of them are only matched with a female teacher.

But Mingsu is different, Mingsu is eager to learn.When she was three years old, concubine Shu personally enlightened her, studied for two years, and moved to the Renming Palace, where she followed the empress to study, until she was seven years old, the empress begged the emperor and invited an old Hanlin for Ming Sudan, In the southwest corner of the palace, a separate hall was built for her to study.

However, even though she has a hall dedicated to studying, she still likes to come to this attic to review her homework and complete the homework left by her husband.

The Hall of Renming is not far from her Zhenguan Hall, so there will not be much delay on the way, so the Queen will let her stay here.

Ming Su is eager to learn, and she is so determined to study hard. Her poems and essays have always been better than those of the princes. She also reads history more thoroughly than the princes.

It's just that at that time, the princes didn't take her seriously, even if she was educated and learned to make Jinghua, so what, she was just a princess.

Zheng Mi had heard the palace people discussing this matter in private.

She heard it very unpleasantly, and felt sorry for Mingsu even more.She was afraid that she would be tireless and restless, and would be exhausted, so she would often talk to her for a while, or take her for a walk in the garden, looking at the green grass and trees, and the temples and towers in the distance.

Mingsu has a good temper, let her go, sometimes her hard thinking is interrupted, and she doesn't complain, she always does what she wants, and she does what she wants.

At that time, she learned the piano to the bottleneck, and went to the palace to ask her aunt for advice. Mingsu was changing her baby teeth and didn't like to talk.When she was not practicing the piano, she came to tease her to talk every hour so that she could have a rest.

It's a pity that Mingsu's concentration is so good that it made her want to laugh, so she raised her head and looked at her with smiling eyes, but she didn't make a sound.

But the more she kept silent, the more she wanted to hear her talk.That day, Mingsu was reading "Zuo Zhuan" under the window, and she played the piano beside her, playing a slow tune, combined with the quiet breath of water agarwood rising from the blue and white glazed incense burner, the room was quiet and elegant.

After the song was played, Mingsu put down his pen and looked at her, as if he wanted to say something.

Zheng Mi waited for her to speak, Mingsu's brows and eyes were slightly tangled, after a while, he still lowered his head, picked up the pen, and continued writing.Zheng Mi saw that the inkstone in the inkstone on the desk was used up, so she went up to grind the ink for her.

It was getting late, and when it was approaching Haishi, Mingsu still had some homework to finish.Zheng Mi was watching, either grinding ink for her, or pouring tea for her, just accompanying her.

Until Haizhong, she stopped writing and finally finished her homework. Zheng Mifang smiled and said: "Your Highness has worked hard, but I want my servant to squeeze your shoulders for you."

They often play together, such jokes are common, Mingsu smiled gently in his watery eyes, and shook his head.

Zheng Mi thought for a while, then took out a small seal from her sleeve pocket, and put it in Mingsu's hands. Mingsu lowered his head to play with it, and seeing the seal at the bottom, a smile filled her face.

Zheng Mi smiled and said, "Does Your Highness like this small gift?"

Mingsu nodded again and again, apparently unable to put it down.

It's a pity she still didn't speak.

Zheng Mi thought about it again, and said: "I wrote a poem on this chicken heart stone, and my grandfather rewarded it. It is considered a barter of power. The name of His Highness in the printed text was carved by myself, and it took me a lot of time. It’s all done by yourself, is sincerity enough?”

Mingsu nodded again and again, his bright eyes were full of sincerity.

But Zheng Mi deliberately made things difficult for her, pretended to be disconsolate, showed a very downcast look, and sighed: "But your highness doesn't even want to say a word to your courtiers?"

Mingsu couldn't see that she was a little sad, and immediately said anxiously: "No!" After finishing speaking, he reacted, quickly covered his mouth with his hands, looked at her in horror, and said, "Can you see it? "

Zheng Mi suppressed a smile and shook her head.She didn't dare to speak, for fear that if she opened her mouth, she would laugh out loud.

But Mingsu couldn't tell, she was just at the age when she knew how to save face, her face was flushed, she stood up, clutching the seal tightly in her hand, and stared at her angrily.

Zheng Mi hurriedly coaxed her, but she couldn't stop laughing in her heart, His Highness who lost his deciduous teeth is really cute and milky.
