The tears wet the scarf and the dream cannot be fulfilled, and the front hall sings in the middle of the night.
Confidante breaks grace before she is old, leans on the smoked cage and sits until dawn.
________Bai Juyi's Harem Ci
She stood there, staring into the distance.
Su Ji approached me and asked in a low voice, "Nian Nian, is that the Empress Dowager?"
I couldn't help but glanced at her figure again, and replied in a low voice, "I haven't seen the Empress Dowager's face since I entered the palace, but it seems that this should be the Empress Dowager."
Su Ji was slightly surprised, "You haven't seen her in the past few days since you entered the palace? How did you get along in terms of etiquette?"
I said helplessly, "When I first entered the palace, I wanted to visit her first. At that time, the emperor told me that the queen mother was unwell, so I had no choice but to let the matter go. But looking at it now, I am afraid that the emperor didn't want to take her with me at that time. I'm going to see the Queen Mother."
"Why? Have you provoked the emperor?"
I shook my head and said softly, "No, I heard my aunt say before entering the palace that the relationship between the empress dowager and the emperor is not good, probably because he doesn't want to see the empress dowager."
Su Ji was taken aback again, and asked, "Why? Didn't the emperor be the empress dowager's only son? Why do they have a bad relationship?"
I replied softly, "I'm afraid that only the two of them understand the reason."
Su Ji suddenly pulled my arm and called out in a low voice, "Nian Nian!"
I asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?"
She whispered, "Look over there, the Empress Dowager is looking at you right now."
I turned my face to look, and I happened to meet her eyes from a distance.
Su Ji whispered, "It's over, it's over, you have to go over now"
I sighed quietly, and then slowly moved to the place where the empress dowager was.
I saluted and said, "Join the Empress Dowager."
The queen mother turned her back to me and still did not turn around.
Aunt Lan Ru beside her said coldly, "Which family is this girl? She ran here."
Su Ji curled his lips, rolled his eyes and said, "What kind of girl, this is your empress."
The Empress Dowager turned her face slightly and gave me a sideways look.
I bent the corners of my mouth and smiled politely.
The Queen Mother's voice sounded softly, "Queen?"
As soon as she made a sound, the nun quietly retreated and stopped talking.
Her gaze was as calm as an abyss, and although her voice was soft, it sent a chill down my spine.
I bit my lip quietly, and quickly replied, "The concubine came here to salute after three days in the palace, it is the concubine's fault, and the concubine will be punished by the queen mother."
When she heard this, an unfathomable smile formed on the corner of her mouth, she turned around slowly, and approached me, "Punishment?"
I didn't dare to raise my face, but only vaguely saw the dark blue skirt gradually approaching me.
Her voice was shallow, as indifferent as the newly rising moonlight in the sky, "New queen, raise your head."
I only felt cold sweat in my hands, suppressing the uneasiness in my heart, I raised my face with a gentle smile.
Only then did I take a closer look at her, she was already over half a hundred years old, she looked a bit older, but her temperament was like the peony flower blooming beside her, graceful and luxurious, like the magnolia there, Cool and noble.
There are many wrinkles on her face, but it is hard to hide the arrogance in her bones.
Looking at her from a distance, I can't feel the vicissitudes of her years.
Only when I looked closely at this distance did I realize her sense of vicissitudes.
She asked softly, "The daughter of the Gu family?"
I smiled slightly and quickly replied, "Going back to the empress dowager, the concubine came from the prime minister's mansion and was once the daughter of the Gu family, but now, after entering the harem, there is no daughter of the Gu family anymore, only the queen of the Wei Kingdom. "
She looked at me with unfathomable eyes, and I only felt cold sweat on my palms.
She stood beside me quietly, and I held my breath.
I dare not look at her, for fear that I will be swallowed by this gaze.
During the years in the palace, how many women's years have been locked up.
I looked at her, and thought that when I was old, I might still be trapped in this deep palace, and I felt very uncomfortable.
This life is like this, what will happen in the future?
I dare not think about it, and I can't think about it.
I really want to go back to that time.
But I can't go back after all.
I am like this, and so is she in front of me.
Queen Mother lightlyTaking a breath, she said wearily, "The daughter of the Gu family will always be the daughter of the Gu family."
I was a little surprised, but didn't dare to ask anything.
Seeing that I was silent, she looked at me deeply, and said in a slow tone with a little pity, "Look at the pretty little face, which looks the same as Suxin used to."
Suxin is my aunt's nickname. My aunt and I have very similar faces.
I whispered softly, "The empress dowager loves you, my aunt grew up with my concubine since she was a child, and the concubine's and aunt's habits are more similar."
There was more pity in the Queen Mother's eyes, "What a pair of resembling eyes, if Suxin is still there, standing with her, it is also a beautiful scene in the harem, which is much more beautiful than these flowers, plants, pavilions and moons .¡±
It would be great if my aunt was still here.
I concealed the sadness that suddenly rose in my heart, and said softly, "All things have spirits, and all things created me and my aunt. If my aunt is still alive, I must be very happy to hear what the Queen Mother said."
A trace of sadness flashed in her eyes, but it was fleeting.
The queen mother said softly, "The road in this deep palace is still long, Ai's family is old, and I can't see the scenery for long, but the queen is still young, so I have to live a good life."
I said calmly, "The empress dowager has a long history of blessings, and the concubines only want to live in peace and serve the emperor, serve the empress dowager, and do their best for the harem."
The queen mother seemed a little tired and said, "The Ai family is getting old after all. The late emperor has passed away for so many years. It is time for the Ai family to go. The sky in Wei Kingdom is about to change."
Heaven of Wei Kingdom?
?What did she mean by what she said, and my brother told me not to run around in the past two days, something will happen in my mind, what will happen in Weiguo?
I was slightly startled, bowed down and said cautiously, "The queen mother has a long life, how could it be"
She interrupted me with a wave of her hand, and said softly, "That's all."
I bit my lip and dared not speak any more.
She looked around, and then said softly, "In this palace, no one has talked to Aijia for a long time."
I humbly said, "If the Empress Dowager is not tired of courtiers and concubines, the latter would really like to talk to you."
The Empress Dowager snorted lightly, "The Ai family is an old bone, why do you hate others?"
I said honestly, "After all, you are the most respected person in the harem."
The queen mother sighed softly, "I am old, everything is different. The days of fighting for favor in the past are the past after all. Now, I am afraid that I don't even have the strength to fight. In the past, the emperor protected me , now, even my own son, who is personally supporting the throne of God, doesn't want to visit Ai's family."
The tears wet the scarf and the dream cannot be fulfilled, and the front hall sings in the middle of the night.
Confidante breaks grace before she is old, leans on the smoked cage and sits until dawn.
All the women in the deep palace are like this.
When a beauty is not old, she loses the grace of God.
How many women's plums are buried here.
I feel sorry, but at the same time feel a little scared.
I am afraid that I will stay in this deep palace all my life.
I am afraid, but I dare not.
Looking at the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, there were ripples in my heart.
In the days to come, how should I go? (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
