Twilight GL

The empress stood in front of the rockery, the gentle smile on her lips coincided with Zheng Mi's smile in her memory.

If it was a few days ago, Mingsu knew that she would probably lose her mind, but now, she is sober.

A Mi is gone, no matter how similar others are to her, it is not her.

She walked over and looked at the rockery.Most of the rockeries are in the same shape, with many mountains and mountains, beautiful and scattered.

The same is true for the one in front of me, but Mingsu looked at it twice more, and said to the empress: "I have seen the empress."

They were so close, standing opposite each other, Ming Su was only a body away from her, Zheng Mi realized that she had looked at the rockery twice more, she inevitably had hope, and after saying goodbye , asked with a smile: "Why did the princess come to this remote place?"

This place is on the way to the harem, so it can't be called remote.

But behind this winding rockery, if you don't intend to, you can't walk in.

"It's too early, so I walked around casually before the banquet started." Ming Su casually said something perfunctory.

They were so close, the queen noticed Mingsu's expression and movements, and Mingsu could also see the queen's face and expression.

The queen is wearing a blue palace dress, which is very similar to court clothes, but not so serious, with a little gentleness and softness in the solemnity.This outfit is just right for tonight's New Year's Eve family banquet.

But Mingsu paid special attention to the blackness under the Queen's eyes, she covered it up with powder and daisy, but when she got closer, she could still see the clues, making her look haggard.

"I also wandered around here, so I came here." Hearing that she was just walking around and not coming here on purpose, Zheng Mi couldn't help but be disappointed, but she also knew that it was her extravagant hope. She looked at Ming Su's complexion carefully, and then Seeing that she had lost a lot of weight, and under the heavy cloak, it seemed that there were only bones left, so she asked, "Is the princess recovering from her illness?"

After asking, she remembered that Mingsu was lying beside her that night in the small city where the wind was howling in the north and the sky was full of yellow sand. His face was red and hot, and his eyes were wet. He looked at her and said to her, "Sister, I'm sick because of you."

Ming Su's voice came from next to my ear: "Thank you for your concern, my son's illness is cured."

In this situation, she answered like this, as if she was answering her words, but also as if she was speaking to her that night.

Zheng Mi's heart ached, she thought, your illness is cured, but I am dying of illness because of you.

She turned her eyes away, looked at the white snow piled up on the top of the rockery, and said, "That's all right."

After a while, she seemed worried, and turned her head again, looked at Mingsu and told, "You have to take care of yourself, don't let your youth make you lose your mind."

When she speaks like this, it seems like an experienced old man is telling the younger generation, but she is actually only five years older than her.

Mingsu lowered his head and smiled, and said softly, "Okay..."

But she felt very deeply uncomfortable, as if a rough stone had been pierced in her throat, which made her flesh and blood ache, but the pain in her heart had long been numb.

She thought, A Mi is also like this, when she cared about her body, she always told her like this, while she hoped that she would grow up quickly, but at the same time, she couldn't help pampering her, pampering her, as if she wanted to Treat her like a child forever.

When the queen heard her promise, she didn't know whether she really remembered it or was just perfunctory, so she nagged again: "The princess promised, don't break your promise."

Mingsu nodded, she remembered what happened in Zhenguan Palace that day, she was so vicious and hurtful, but the queen just left quietly, now goodbye, she didn't hold grudges, she still talked to her well.

Ming Su felt guilty, and said: "Thank you, Madam, for taking care of my son that night."

Zheng Mi didn't expect her to bring up the incident of that day, she was very surprised, and when she heard her thank you again, she felt nervous when she thought of her bad words that day, she didn't know if Mingsu's thanks at this time were sincere, or whether she was mocking her thing.

She didn't dare to speak, and there was some caution in her eyes, which made Mingsu feel even more ashamed, she said softly: "My son said bad words that day, it's my son's fault."

She is sincerely apologizing.

Maybe it was because the breath he felt in the dream that day was exactly the same as that of A Mi, or maybe it was because she missed her too much and was looking forward to her return.When she opened her eyes, she really thought that she would really see her.

Whether it's a living person or a soul, she really came back.

But when I really opened my eyes, I realized that the dream was just a dream after all.She completely lost her mind at that time and took out her anger on the Queen.

In fact, she knew that the queen was innocent, and she was blaming herself. She actually regarded other people as A Mi, and she was absolutely certain that the person holding her must be A Mi.

At that moment, she hated herself terribly, but the empress was hurt by her harsh words.

But she sincerely apologized, and Zheng Mi was a little at a loss.

Seeing this, Ming Su saluted respectfully: "I apologize to the empress."

After a while, Zheng Mi said, "It's okay, I never blamed you."

Mingsu looked at her, made sure she was telling the truth, and smiled.

Zheng Mi became more and more at a loss. She felt that Ming Su was very strange today. She was very different from the previous days. She seemed to have lost that hostility, or the hostility had deepened so deep that outsiders could not see it. .

If I want to elaborate, Mingsu's speech and behavior now are very similar to her in the past, gentle and amiable, be it courteous or concubines, she is always smiling.

But Zheng Mi felt a little flustered, the sudden change must be something wrong, she looked at Ming Su for a long time before asking: "What happened to you that day?"

The sky is getting dark, and it won't be long before the banquet will be held.

Ming Su said: "I had a dream, and I'm having a nightmare."

"What dream is it?" Zheng Mi asked again.

Ming Su looked at her, his eyes fell on her eyes, and he said with a smile: "It was a wonderful dream, but unfortunately when I woke up, the dream disappeared, my son was angry and ran into your mother, please don't be offended. "

When she said this, Zheng Mi couldn't ask further about what the dream was about. It seemed like she was blaming her.

She nodded and told her to go to bed early at night and not to stay up too late.

Mingsu listened, but seeing the queen's eyes that looked like A Mi, she couldn't help being lost in thought.

She still couldn't figure out why in her dream that day, she would recognize the queen as A Mi, obviously they were two completely different people.

Mistaking others for her.If A Mi knew, she would be very disappointed.

In the past few days, she has been thinking over and over again, thinking about many things, some of which actually happened, and some of her own imagination. The chain beside the bed is still there, and she is not willing to take it off. She couldn't sleep last night, so she put the chain on it. The shackles were locked on his ankles.

For some reason, I feel a little relieved.Only then did she suddenly think that A Mi hadn't hugged her for a long time, would she forget what it was like to hold her in the arms one day, would she even forget A Mi's breath one day.

Thinking of this, she got scared and sat at the foot of the bed all night.

Strange to say, she seemed to be tired without knowing what it meant to be tired, and she couldn't feel any sleepiness after several days of sleeplessness.

If it's like this for a long time, it's good, it can save a lot of time, and she can do things faster and meet A Mi earlier.

While she was distracted, she listened to the queen's words, and when the queen finished speaking, she smiled and said: "It's getting late, my son will step back first."

It was really late, so there was no need to delay any longer, so Zheng Mi nodded.

Mingsu left along the road he had just come.Zheng Mi looked at her back, very uneasy, Mingsu spoke kindly and had a gentle attitude, but for some reason, when she looked at her, she felt much more distant than in the past when she looked at her with a mocking or stern face.

What happened to her?Zheng Mi was very worried.

Yun Sang came out from behind the rockery and reminded: "Your Majesty, it's time to go."

Zheng Mi nodded, took two steps, and couldn't help turning around to take a look before going out.

Once outside, dozens of palace people waited neatly, seeing her coming out, the head of the servants came forward to greet her, and the shoulders were also pressed down.

"Ask your lady to board the chariot."

When they arrived at Yanfu Palace, the lights in the palace were already on, and the prince and family members had all arrived.

Zheng Mi went to the back hall first, and waited for a while, and when the emperor arrived, Fang entered the hall together.

As soon as the empress arrived, the banquet began.Today is a family banquet, and all the royal relatives arrived, regardless of male and female seats, there were about thirty people, and the hall was full.

Zheng Mi's eyes turned around in the hall, there were a few royal relatives she had never seen before, Yun Sang gently reminded them from the side, and within a short time, Zheng Mi recognized them all.

Her eyes lingered on Ming Su for a moment, and she saw that she was talking to the third prince nearby, with a slight smile on her face, indifferent, just like usual.

As if aware of her gaze, Ming Su looked over, with a casual gaze, stood up with a toast, and said loudly to the emperor and empress who was sitting side by side: "My son is celebrating the birthday of the father and the empress. I wish the father and mother a happy new year, and a prosperous future!"

After finishing speaking, he drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

The emperor said yes to a toast and drank the wine in one gulp, and Zheng Mi followed suit.Mingsu said a few words to the emperor, sat down, and turned to respect Concubine Shu.

Zheng Mi paid close attention to her and made sure that she was normal. What she saw behind the rockery just now seemed to be an illusion born of her worrying too much about her.

In the hall, silk and bamboo are melodious, singing and dancing are peaceful.At the beginning of Mingsu, all the relatives of the emperor began to toast and talk to each other.

Zheng Mi had met the eldest son of the emperor several times before, but it was the first time to see him after becoming a queen.

The eldest son of the emperor was wearing court clothes, but he didn't wear a court crown. Instead, he tied up his hair with a jade crown, and two locks of hair hung down from his temples, looking at them flowing out of the dust.

This is the costume of a Taoist priest.

There was no one around him, so he drank by himself.

Zheng Mi only glanced at him, then talked to the concubine next to him.

Suddenly, the emperor said: "Mingsu, what good things did your brother give you?"

Although it was a family banquet with leisurely singing and dancing, but in front of the empress, no one really had a relaxed meal. Hearing this, the hall fell silent. Everyone didn't know what was going on, and they just listened to the emperor's words. It wasn't a bad thing , they all smiled and looked towards His Highness Xin Guo.

Mingsu took out a small box, smiled at the head, "It's the elixir made by Brother Dahuang himself."

"Oh?" The emperor was slightly tipsy after drinking the wine. Hearing this, he leaned towards Mingsu's side, raised his chin, and said, "Open it and have a look."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and there was no sound of talking in the hall.

The third prince frowned, looking at the box in Mingsu's hand as if looking at some kind of poison.

The fifth prince's face tightened, and he looked at the eldest prince with vigilance in his eyes.

The eldest prince sat Shi Shiran, as if he didn't care about anything.

Ming Su opened the box in his hand, inside was a layer of soft silk cloth, on top of the silk cloth was a pill the size of a pigeon egg, brown and black.

"My son was just talking to Brother Huang, how can I swallow it when it's so big?" Ming Su laughed.

The eldest son of the emperor raised his eyes and said: "Cut it open, drink the water of three springs, and take a pill a day, which can prolong life and keep youth forever."

As soon as these words came out, all the royal relatives changed their faces, and the third prince's disgusted gaze moved from the pill to the elder brother.

Alchemy to seek longevity has existed since ancient times, but it was also kept secret by the imperial court.

Although people in the world dare not speak out, everyone knows that if the Son of Heaven seeks longevity, he will not be far from being stupid.

The situation in the hall suddenly became tense.

An idea popped up in Zheng Mi's mind, she looked at Ming Su, with some guessing in her eyes, Ming Su glanced at her, and slightly lowered his chin, which was a very slight nodding motion.

Zheng Mi's heart tightened, and he suddenly smiled and said, "What's so special about the water of the Three Springs?"

The emperor was squinting his eyes and watching from a distance. He was getting old after all, and he had drunk alcohol again. He couldn't see what the elixir looked like. He was losing interest. Hearing what the queen said, he said, "That's right. Use the water of three springs?"

The eldest son of the emperor stood up, with a clear and rustling figure, and said: "Ban Gu's "Zhongnanshan Fu" has a saying: "In the season of three springs, the beginning of Mengxia, the weather is clear, and you can see the eight corners." Therefore, the water of the three springs has recovered the vitality. , and won the kingly spirit of Kyushu in the world. "

The emperor waved his hand: "Joke, how can there be any royal air in the water."

Everyone laughed.Zheng Mi already knew what Su was going to do, and her heart was pounding, but she believed that she was used to it.

Although she felt it was wrong, she still decided to go over for her right now, and later, she asked her to ask her carefully.

She thought for a while and smiled: "What your majesty said is that according to the courtiers and concubines, the art of alchemy is all vain, otherwise Qin Huang Han Wu, with such meritorious deeds, also visited warlocks all over the world, why didn't they see longevity? Afterwards, the mediocre emperor ,Needless to say."

Zheng Mi knows the past, knows the emperor's heart, he is conceited and arrogant, and hates being imprisoned most, such a person will definitely not think that he is inferior to others.She said so, he must be interested.

When everyone heard what the queen said, they rushed out and claimed it was true.

The emperor squinted his eyes, looked at it for a while, and suddenly said: "Submit it up, I will take a look."

The elixir in Mingsu's hand was in the hands of the servant, and it was placed on the imperial case in a blink of an eye.The emperor stretched out his hand and took the elixir before his eyes for a closer look.

Everyone watched with bated breath.

The emperor looked at it for a long time, then turned his head to look at the eldest son of the emperor. He didn't know what he was thinking about, so he suddenly put the elixir to his mouth.Someone below shouted, "No, Your Majesty!"

The emperor stopped, slowly put the pill back into the box, and laughed loudly: "Take it back."

Looking at the eldest son of the emperor again, "If ten years later, my son is still the same as today, it will not be too late to offer my elixir."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and all laughed and echoed.The fifth prince even said: "Brother Huang, don't begrudge the elixir and give me one."

His words were full of sarcasm, and the eldest son of the emperor had never had any favors, so everyone was partial to the fifth prince and laughed even more.

He didn't realize it, but Zheng Mi was sitting beside the emperor, and he realized that what His Majesty just said was not ridicule, but the truth.

But everyone in the palace would have misunderstood it, thinking that the emperor was laughing at the art of alchemy, which is nonsense.

The hall was full of joy and laughter, and finally there was a happy atmosphere that the new year was approaching.

Mingsu picked up the wine and took a sip, feeling very sorry in his heart, it started off very smoothly.

It's a pity that A Mi told her not to drink too much, otherwise today she should drink all night.

But thinking of Zheng Mi, she felt a slight warmth in her heart.

A Mi, look, even though you are no longer here, I still listen to you, just like when you were here.
