Twilight GL

The sky was getting dark gradually, and the wind suddenly picked up outside the window, and the window paper was blown to make two small flapping noises.

Zheng Mi was holding a celadon teacup in his hand, the just right warmth came out through the celadon, warming Zheng Mi's palm as well.

She looked at Ming Su, opened her mouth slowly, and was about to answer, when Yun Sang was outside the hall, through the curtain, and said: "Your Majesty, it's getting dark, maidservant, please come and light the lamp."

The conversation was interrupted, Mingsu's long eyelashes drooped, faintly unhappy.

Zheng Mi glanced at her and said, "Come in."

As soon as the voice fell, the curtain was lifted, and Yun Sang walked in. The wind was blowing outside, and it was very cold just by hearing it.

Yun Sang bowed to the two of them, then took the fire bag and lit all the lamps in the hall.

Unlike the complete darkness at night, there is still light outside, and the dim candle shadows shaking in the hall create a different atmosphere.

This atmosphere is a nostalgia for Zheng Mi, but an annoyance for Ming Su.

As soon as Yun Sang stepped back, Ming Su smiled patiently and said, "Where did you just talk?"

She pretended to recall for a while, and said, "Speaking of the extraordinary skills of the empress, the empress must be well-known as a teacher, right?"

Zheng Mi was also full of smiles, and said: "My mother taught me at will when I was young, so it can't be called a teacher's inheritance."

Ming Su put down the teacup in his hand, looked out of the window, his brows and eyes, which were still stained with a smile just now, suddenly faded, as if there was no interest in it.

What a coincidence, A Mi also inherited her tea ceremony from her mother.

She only took a sip of the tea in her teacup, and it was already a bit cold at the moment.As soon as the tea soup cools down, the taste goes away.

The queen paid attention to her expression, poured another cup, brought it to her hand, and said: "It's cold, drink another cup, it's good to warm your body."

"No need..." Ming Su was not interested, and without even looking at the newly poured tea, he stood up on his own, "I still have something to do, so I will take my leave first."

After she finished speaking, she glanced at the queen, and the queen's eyes were clearly sad.

"I'll see you off," she said.

Mingsu didn't make a sound, there was no smile on his pale face, and he walked out without waiting for the queen.

So when she left the hall, Zheng Mi was a step behind her.

I don't know when it has snowed outside.This is the first snow this year, much earlier than in previous years.

No wonder it was so windy just now.

Outside the palace was full of palace people, and when they saw the two of them coming out, they all bowed to salute.

Mingsu was wearing a thin fox fur, which was a little bit reluctant to keep out the cold.

Xuan Guo stepped forward and said: "It's cold outside, Your Highness just wait a moment, the little one has ordered someone to go to Zhenguan Hall to get clothes."

Mingsu didn't want to stay here, said: "No need..." After finishing speaking, he was about to walk into the snow, but his sleeves were pulled.

She turned her head, the queen let go, and said: "It's cold, it's impossible to go out like this."

As soon as she finished speaking, Yun Sang came out with her cloak in hand.

The black background, embroidered with gold silk, the pattern is two phoenixes intertwined and soaring, which is indeed the style used by the queen.

Mingsu suddenly remembered that the empress had given her a cloak before, but she ordered the cloak to be burned.

"I haven't worn this cloak yet." The queen said, taking the cloak from Yun Sang's hand.

Mingsu thought that she was going to put it on for her like last time, so he was going to refuse, so he saw the queen handed the cloak to Xuan Guo, looked at Mingsu, and said with a smile: "Princess, let's wear it all the way. Keep out the cold."

The queen gave the clothes, and it was in front of everyone, so Mingsu naturally couldn't refuse, she saluted and said: "Thank you, empress."

After Xuan Guo waited for the princess to put on the cloak, Zheng Mi said: "There is no need to be too polite, after a while, the palace road will be difficult, the princess should go."

Mingsu responded, took two steps, and looked back, the queen had already turned around, and the female officer next to her lifted the curtain for her.

Ming Su found out that although the queen was close to her just now, she was very graceful and graceful, with an air of inner palace, which was completely different from Meng Lang when the two of them were alone in the palace.It can be seen that she still knows how to restrain herself.

Ming Su taunted himself secretly, the corners of his lips almost turned up, thinking of the similarity between the queen and Zheng Mi, the corners of his lips curled into a straight line again.

In the Hall of Renming, Yun Sang enters the hall after serving the queen.

After going out for a while, the tea on the table was cold, and she couldn't drink it anymore, Yun Sang was about to ask why His Highness was not happy when he left, when the queen waved her hand at her, signaling her to leave.

Yun Sang didn't dare to say much, so he saluted and retreated silently.

Zheng Mi went to the window and sat down where Ming Su had just sat.

When Mingsu acted like a baby, she touched her face, she didn't mean it, but she remembered the past, and her body seemed to lose control.But this time, like the last tea, it was her intention.

In this world, she has no relatives, and the only person she cares about is Mingsu.

Therefore, even though she knew she hated her, she still couldn't help but test whether Mingsu could forgive her if she came back from the dead.

There were two cups of tea on the table, one was drunk and the other was not even looked at by the man.

Zheng Mi picked up the cup that she had taken a sip of, and looked at the slightly yellowed tea soup inside.

Just hearing that she is the same as Zheng Mi, and her skills are inherited from her mother, she is too lazy to taste it.

How much she hated her, so hated that she was unwilling to forgive her even after she died, hated so much that she didn't even bother to take a look at the similar things of her similar people, and wasted a lot of attention.

Zheng Mi squeezed the cup tightly in her hand, and raised her hand to pinch the space between her eyebrows.

For the first snowfall, you have to take a look at some of the old palaces in the palace, lest the snow accumulate thickly at night and collapse the roof, and the lights and charcoal fires in various places must be increased according to the law. All the divisions arrange such palace affairs, but She has to get a boss and ask a question.

Moreover, Zheng Mi was still thinking about those victims, the food funds had not been raised yet, presumably they had not yet arrived in Hezhou, the weather was so cold, I was afraid that there would be more people who died.

She stood up and tried her best to push Mingsu down from her heart so that she could focus on the business.

But Ming Su who was forcibly suppressed was not good at all, still disturbing her thoughts in her mind, and it seemed to bite her heart, making her heart hurt.

Zheng Mi smiled helplessly, but her eyes were bitter.She put down the teacup, stood up, and walked outside the door.

The snow is falling more and more.

Zheng Mi asked: "Has the internal affairs come to an end?"

Yun Sang replied: "Not here yet, I think a few nephews are already on their way."

Zheng Mi clicked, and wanted to wait in the side hall, Yun Sang hesitated and said: "I just came down to report, Your Majesty took Qiao Jieyu to the plum forest to enjoy the first snow."

Zheng Mi paused, and said calmly: "Understood." She walked forward, took a few steps, and asked, "How long has Your Majesty favored Qiao Jieyu?"

Yun Sang made a calculation: "It's almost half a month."

Zheng Mi nodded: "I remember that there was a beauty presented by Cangzhou in the palace who lived like a fairy descending to earth."

"Yes. The servant girl has also heard about it."

There are so many beauties from all over the country who offer tributes to the capital, even foreign countries have tributes, and the palace can't accommodate them, so some of the slightly inferior backgrounds or those who offended the high-ranking concubines in the palace were sent to the palace for resettlement.

"After the snow stops, you go to the palace to see if she is as beautiful as the rumors, and if so, bring her into the palace." Zheng Mi ordered.

Yun Sang didn't know her intentions, although the empress was constantly planting eyes and ears in the harem to win people's hearts, she rarely intervened in the matter of competing for favor in the six palaces.She respectfully complied.

When they were talking, Mingsu was also out of the palace, and she was also worried about the snow.

When she fled with Zheng Mi five years ago, she passed through Hezhou, and it was no warmer than the capital.

The snow came at an inopportune time.She originally thought that His Majesty was furious because of the civil unrest, and the ministers who appease the victims would always have something on their minds, and they didn't dare to do too much, but after this snow, it was different.

They may delay disaster relief, embezzle food funds, and then push the tragic death of victims to this snow.

As Mingsu walked out of the palace, he thought, she can't intervene too obviously, it will arouse His Majesty's fear.

She thought of General Ruchuan, if he still had the upright nature of serving the people like before, he would not ignore the corrupt officials.

But with so many lives, Ming Su didn't dare to pin his hopes on him alone.

The third uncle was an official in Minzhou, which is adjacent to Hezhou, and was not affected by the disaster.

The chief officials of each state are not allowed to leave the jurisdiction without an edict, but because of the disaster relief, His Majesty issued an edict two days ago, ordering the neighboring states and counties to assist the appeasement envoys to comfort the people.

Mingsu intends to send a letter to Minzhou.It's just that this matter has to be discussed with the grandfather.

After leaving the palace, Mingsu boarded the carriage and went to his grandfather's house.

As she walked along the road, she thought about it, once she got into the carriage, the carriage was quiet, she leaned against the pillow, and her body relaxed, she was slightly distracted, and thought of the queen.

How could there be such a coincidence?

Mingsu waited wholeheartedly for Zheng Mi's return, how could he expect such a bizarre thing as resurrection from a dead body.

She sighed secretly, if it wasn't for the promulgation of the imperial edict at the beginning of the year, all the forces would have checked the queen's family background, and found that she was just a scholar, with no power or influence in the family, and even some poor woman.She almost suspected that Zheng Mi hadn't returned to Beijing for a long time and was arrested by the empress.

Mingsu becomes a little irritable, like who is not good, but A Mi.

She thought of something, took out the box from her sleeve, opened it, and said to the golden hairpin inside: "Look, she looks a bit like you, if you don't come back, I will..."

so what?

Ming Su is a little poor at words, but this does not prevent her from speaking harshly: "As long as you come back, I will wait for you for five or ten years, and I will wait for you for the rest of my life. I will wait until you ask me to forgive you in front of me." .”

The golden hairpin was motionless, and the words "Congratulations to Ami's Seventeenth Birthday" were faintly visible on the hairpin.

After she finished speaking harshly, as if she had found some sustenance, she stuffed the box back into her sleeve.

Maybe it was the sudden snowfall, or maybe it was late, the sky was getting dark, and there were no pedestrians on the street.

Mingsu arrived outside his grandfather's mansion, got out of the carriage, looked up at the plaque above the gate of the mansion, it said Chu Mansion.

The Chu family is a bit special in Beijing. The special thing is that his family originally followed the martial arts path, but in this generation, they abandoned martial arts and followed the civil service, and became civil servants.

Mingsu had very little contact with her grandfather's house. She had a bad reputation and could not implicate my grandfather, who had managed to gain a foothold among the civil servants after three generations.

On the other hand, although my grandfather became an official two years ago, he has left a lot of influence in the court. If she has close contacts with my grandfather, she will inevitably be suspected by His Majesty.

Mingsu stood outside the door for a while. The last time she visited was at the beginning of the year, when her grandmother was seriously ill, and she came to visit instead of her concubine.Xuan Guo stood behind her, seeing His Highness raised his hand, Fang went to knock on the door.

The door opened soon, and the two uncles went out to welcome her, and led her to the main hall, where an old man with white beard and white hair stood in front of the steps and waited for her.

Chu En may not have seen Mingsu for a long time, after the two sides saluted, Chu En asked, "How is your concubine Shu?"

"Grandpa, don't worry, mother and concubine are all well." Mingsu said with a smile.

Chu En nodded: "That's good, the old minister is very concerned."

The two uncles knew that she had a temperament of never coming to the house for anything, so they sent all the servants away, and the second uncle retreated to guard outside the door.

Mingsu explained his intention.Chu En nodded and said, "Your Highness is right to worry."

After he finished speaking, he sighed, "Your Majesty really seems to be a different person, and the court is completely different from the court when Taifu Zheng was there. If it was back then..."

He didn't go on, but Mingsu understood. If it was back then, why would he even worry about disaster relief and other important matters related to people's livelihood? Someone would dare to disregard the life and death of the people and only know about taking money for profit.

But looking at the current situation in the DPRK and China, they can indeed do it.

"I don't know when this situation will start." Chu En said.

Uncle hurriedly said: "Father, be careful."

Chu En glanced at him, knowing that he had made a slip of the tongue. He looked at Ming Su and said, "Your Highness entered politics late, and I have never seen the weather of that year. The old minister who has worked with Zheng Taifu for most of his life will never forget it, and he will never forget it." I can't help but say it all the time."

He paused for a moment, as if he meant something: "When people are old, it is inevitable that they will be nostalgic. There should be ministers who are like ministers in the court and miss them in private."

Mingsu's eyebrows jumped, he didn't answer, and said with a smile: "If you agree, then I will write to third uncle."

Chu En said: "No need, come here."

Mingsu thinks about it, that's okay.

After the matter was finished, Mingsu didn't want to stay for a long time, Chu En ordered someone to bring a set of white porcelain tea sets, and said: "Your Highness, for outsiders, the way is to come to the minister's mansion to appreciate this set of white porcelain tea sets."

Mingsu didn't refuse, but accepted it.

After one thing was done, Mingsu felt much better. When she returned to the mansion, she ordered someone to take out the white porcelain tea set for viewing.

This is white porcelain from Ru kiln. The body of the pot is shiny and egg white, and the lines are soft and smooth. It is a rare treasure in the world at first glance.

She likes drinking tea, and of course she likes tea sets.This kind of porcelain as white as fine snow was grown in the court, and she was used to seeing treasures, so she rarely saw it.

Mingsu held the pot and the lamp one by one to play with.

It's just that she admired it, and for some reason, she murmured to herself: "What the queen uses today seems to be celadon."

After that, she was puzzled, how could she remember what the queen used.

When her hands touched her body, the silky and soft touch made Minsu realize that she was still wearing the cloak given to her by the queen.

Panicked and displeased, she took off her cloak and threw it aside.

Seeing this, Xuan Guo came forward, picked up the cloak, and asked respectfully, "Is this body still burned?"

The author has something to say: Have you started school yet?
