[Red Mansion+Qing Chuan] The heroine comes from the last days

"The Empress arrives—"

The sharp and thin sounds are like drumbeats, tearing up the prelude to the day.

Jiang Ling straightened her appearance, stood up, and walked to the gate of the palace with the mothers, maids, and eunuchs in the room to welcome the Queen Mother.The weather is fine today, and the Empress Dowager can be seen from a distance with a guard of honor, walking towards this side unhurriedly.When they reached the Changchun Palace, Jiang Ling led them all to bow their knees and said, "See the Empress Dowager."

A line of guards of honor came to a halt slowly, and two female officials helped the Empress Dowager get off the sedan chair and walked into Changchun Palace.

Obviously a badass.

Jiang Ling waited until the Empress Dowager entered the palace, then stood up and glanced at Chief Manager Liang.Although she was the one who gave the empress dowager a blow, Director Liang was obviously more nervous than Jiang Ling himself, and his eyes flicked and flicked inward, with a rather disturbed expression on his face.

Jiang Ling called softly, "Eunuch Liang."

"Ai."

"Dare to ask my father-in-law, before the emperor left this morning, did he leave any words?" In fact, Jiang Ling didn't want to know what words Kangxi left this morning. Use something else to distract him.

Director Liang's attention was indeed distracted. "Back to Concubine Yun." Chief Manager Liang recalled for a moment, and replied, "The emperor didn't leave any words this morning. He just asked me to wait for the good students to take care of me. Don't teach the empress dowager to get angry. Oh, and, the emperor You told me last night, let me take care of Master Yun, don't let Master Yun... this, I have been wronged."

When he said the last four words, he was actually quite embarrassed.

Jiang Ling smiled after hearing this, and said, "I have Mr. Lao."

Manager Liang also smiled, the nervousness just now dissipated for a while.Seeing that the Empress Dowager had already entered the palace, he took two steps forward, leading Jiang Ling and said, "Master Yun, please." Then he took Jiang Ling into the palace.Jiang Ling glanced at the nuns behind him, and signaled them to stay outside the palace, and the other followed him into the palace, and followed Chief Manager Liang into the main hall.

The Empress Dowager sat high on it with a solemn expression, and beside her were four female officials holding rulers.

The two nuns held a soft blanket, spread it on the floor of Changchun Palace, and stood with their hands down.

There was also a four or fifty-year-old eunuch, holding the floating dust, and said in a high-pitched voice: "Concubine Yun has an audience with the Empress Dowager—"

Alright, the second one to get off his horse.Jiang Ling shook his head secretly, took two steps forward, walked to the blanket that had been laid, and made a formal salute honestly.The floor of the Changchun Palace was cold, and she was pregnant, so this blanket was probably specially prepared for her by the Empress Dowager.

The female officials and nuns in the Changchun Palace also followed Jiang Ling and saluted the Empress Dowager.

After Jiang Ling saluted, the Empress Dowager's complexion eased, and said: "Go down."

His voice was a bit deep, like a sullen old man who was facing a crisis he had only seen in his life.

The surrounding maids and eunuchs all retreated.Manager Liang wanted to stay, but was dragged out by the eunuch.

At this time, there were only the Queen Mother and Jiang Ling in the palace.The Empress Dowager sat high on it, Jiang Ling stood motionless at the bottom, with a soft blanket spread in front of her, neither of them spoke.

Outside the palace, Manager Liang paced anxiously, poking his head inside, but couldn't get in.

In the palace, Jiang Ling and the Queen Mother were silent, and no one spoke.

After a long time, the queen mother asked slowly: "Do you know why Ai's family came here today?"

As soon as he made a sound, he went straight to the point, leaving no room for Jiang Ling to maneuver.Jiang Ling looked up at the queen mother, her voice was still soft and low: "If I say I don't know, the queen mother probably won't believe it."

The queen mother snorted softly, her face sank again.

Jiang Ling continued: "The queen mother summoned me the day before yesterday and strictly ordered me to leave the emperor's side. I already know the queen mother's intentions. The queen mother came here today, one is to warn me, and the other is—possibly, to give me some punishment " She stared fixedly at the Queen Mother, and suddenly smiled, "But I don't know what kind of punishment the Queen Mother wants to give me."

The queen mother suddenly stood up and pointed at Jiang Ling with a look of surprise and anger.

"You, you..." The queen mother pointed at her for a long time, then slowly put down her hand, and said word by word, "You are very smart."

Jiang Ling lowered his head, and said softly: "The empress dowager praises you, Yun Ling is ashamed."

The Empress Dowager shook her head slowly, and said: "No, you are very smart, smarter than me and Ah Su. Among the women I have seen in my life, only the Empress Dowager can slightly surpass you. No wonder the Emperor Tell me the night before, he is not the first emperor, and you are not the Empress Xiaoxian."

Jiang Ling was stunned for a moment, wondering why the Queen Mother would say these words.

The queen mother stepped down from the throne and continued: "I had a long talk with the emperor the night before yesterday, and I had a long talk with the empress dowager for a long time. The empress dowager said that if the emperor does not cross the bottom line, she will not touch you. But Concubine Yun." The queen mother walked to Jiang Ling, looked into her eyes, and lowered her voice, "In this palace, there are many ways to make a woman disappear."

Jiang Ling still stood there motionless, with the same expression as before.

The Empress Dowager suddenly smiled, and said: "How courageous." She paused for a moment, and then said: "No matter what, Aijia will warn you that in this palace, no favorite concubine can die well. Not to mention you The horoscope of your birthday is in conflict with the fate of the country, just the emperor's love for you is enough to make you disappear from this palace forever. Do you know?"

Jiang Ling's eyes moved slightly, and said, "Now I know."

The queen mother nodded slightly and said, "Very good."

The queen mother walked back to the main seat, looked down at Jiang Ling condescendingly, and asked, "Do you have anything else to say?"

Jiang Ling thought for a while, then asked, "But I don't know what the Empress Dowager's bottom line is?"

The queen mother laughed loudly: "Sure enough, he is a smart one." She looked into Jiang Ling's eyes and said word by word, "Xuan Ye is the emperor, and everything should be the most important thing for the state. If one day, Xuan Ye dies because of you If you miss the state affairs, then the Empress Dowager will never tolerate you."

Jiang Ling secretly breathed a sigh of relief, that's why.

The queen mother's expression eased, and she said again: "But don't think that everything will be fine if you don't cross the bottom line. Since you are a concubine, your words and deeds should naturally conform to the rules. The Ai family will keep four female officials In the Changchun Palace, I usually teach you some rules, and also take care of you, so that the child in your womb will not be slipped away before it is born." The Empress Dowager is also well aware of the methods in the palace.

Jiang Ling was slightly taken aback.She doesn't seem to need to learn any rules...

But in the afternoon of that day, Jiang Ling knew what kind of fearful feelings the so-called "rules" really had.Although the Empress Dowager had already left the Changchun Palace, the four remaining female officials had taken the place of the Empress Dowager very well.The smile should not be too soft, it should be dignified and solemn; the sitting posture should not be too soft, it should be dignified and solemn; the walking speed should not be fast or slow, but since Jiang Ling is pregnant now, this one will be skipped for now; Whisper, be dignified and solemn; when you are angry, don’t pat the table, be dignified and solemn; when you are sad, don’t cry, be dignified and solemn;

All in all, the queen mother intends to teach her to be a wooden stake, the kind that even normal people don't respond to.

Jiang Ling followed the four female officials, reluctantly learned for two hours, and finally said with a stiff expression: "Dare to ask a few aunts, I don't know why the Queen Mother taught me this? Could it be that there are some new rules in the palace? ?” She remembered that in the palace rules, there is no rule that you must keep a straight face when chatting, and you can’t even smile.

A female officer with a serious expression said: "Of course I'm afraid that Concubine Yun will turn into a vixen."

Jiang Ling absolutely fell.

Should be crying, should be laughing, should be walking, should be making trouble...how could he become a foxy girl...

She really didn't want to make a wooden clay sculpture, it would be too hard.

In the evening, Jiang Ling rubbed her brows, and waited for the imperial doctor to give her a routine consultation. Then the youngest female officer couldn't stand it, and secretly said to Jiang Ling: "The Queen Mother didn't intend to embarrass Concubine Yun, but she just wanted to make things difficult for her." Your Majesty's thoughts on Concubine Yun will be reduced a little bit."

And these strange regulations are also based on this purpose.

Jiang Ling couldn't help laughing, but when she thought that she was going to be a wooden sculpture in front of the female officer, she restrained herself.

Seeing that Jiang Ling had a good temper, the female officer couldn't help saying a few more words: "When the Queen Mother summoned us yesterday to teach Concubine Yun how to behave, someone also asked about this. At that time, the Queen Mother kept taking pictures of the case The table said, "I'm afraid he's going to make a mistake! So it's settled."

That "he" obviously refers to Emperor Kangxi.

Jiang Ling used all his strength to hold back his own smile, and said with a stiff face, "That's very good. You all go back, I've been lethargic recently, and I want to rest."

The female officer said yes, took her leave and left.

Jiang Ling couldn't hold back the expression on her face until she could no longer see the figure of the female officer. She twisted it several times, and finally she fell down on the desk and let out a muffled laugh.Because she cared about the child in her womb, she didn't dare to laugh too hard, but still, even the nuns were alarmed.

"Master." The nuns asked worriedly, "What's wrong with you?"

After a while, Jiang Ling had enough laughing, rubbed his stiff cheeks, and said, "It's nothing, you guys go down."

The nuns beeped and were about to leave when they suddenly remembered something and said to Jiang Ling: "Master, Manager Liang left just after the Queen Mother left this afternoon. But because the master was talking to the ladies Learning the rules, I never had time to report."

While rubbing her stiff cheeks, Jiang Ling replied, "Well, Eunuch Liang is free to come and go."

The nuns left.

Jiang Ling rubbed for a while, and suddenly thought that when he saw the female officers tomorrow, he could be expressionless and paralyzed. Although it was not dignified and solemn, at least he didn't need to be corrected by the female officers.Although it's a bit strange to be expressionless, but overall, it's still a little more relaxed than holding an expression.

After making up his mind, Jiang Ling completely relaxed, lay back on the bed and rested for a while.

When Kangxi arrived that night, it was already dark.

Jiang Ling was curled up in the quilt, thinking of resting as long as he could, leaning against the soft pillow with his eyes closed for a nap.I just took a nap, so I'm not sleepy now, it's just that I'm a little tired.

At some point, someone sat down beside her.

Jiang Ling opened her eyes dimly, and just about to call out to the emperor, she was suddenly embraced by a pair of strong arms, and Kangxi's dull voice sounded beside her ears: "I heard from Liang Jiugong that the queen mother left you alone in the palace. Li, trained all morning?"

Jiang Ling half closed his eyes, hesitatingly said: "It should be, it's not an instruction."

It was just to give her two blows, and to threaten her a little bit by using the previous "birthday horoscope and the fate of the country".

As for the rules behind, Jiang Ling thought to himself, if he stood there expressionlessly tomorrow, he would probably be able to avoid it.

Kangxi sighed heavily, remembering something, he patted her back lightly twice, and said gently: "This is the last time. The Queen Mother once told me that she came to Changchun Palace today to warn her You have some words, and there will be nothing else after that. Yunling." He lowered his head, caressed her cheek with his fingertips, and said in a low voice, "If you feel uncomfortable, tell me."

Jiang Ling shook his head.It really doesn't matter.

Compared with what I saw at the flower viewing banquet a few days ago, the queen mother's behavior can be described as gentle and considerate.

Kangxi asked again solemnly, and was really relieved when he saw that Jiang Ling was fine.Yesterday the Empress Dowager said that she would come to the Changchun Palace, and the emperor was not allowed to accompany her. He was indeed a little worried.But now it seems that I am worrying too much.

Thinking of this, Kangxi's expression could not help but ease.

Jiang Ling leaned up in Kangxi's arms, looked over his shoulder, and glanced at the corner of the wall.At two o'clock in the morning.

An hour earlier than yesterday.

Jiang Ling raised her eyes to look at Kangxi, like yesterday, she held his slightly cold palms in her palms, warming his fingers one by one.Kangxi also looked into her eyes, hesitated for a moment, and suddenly kissed her lightly.

A series of kisses as soft as feathers.

Jiang Ling closed his eyes and accepted it passively.Suddenly Kangxi sighed heavily, inserted five fingers into her long hair, and murmured in her ear: "I have been worried for two days, only afraid that you will suffer here. But..."
