"
This child is a bit like her. He has loved reading since he was a child.Although it can be seen that he is struggling to read, maybe he still can't recognize all the characters of Qin State, so he can only pick out each word, and if he really doesn't know it, he will write it down, and then ask his friends.
Looking around, he didn't see Wang Wu.Qingluan asked: "Where's your father?"
"Daddy went to the street to buy vegetables and asked me to watch the shop."
Qingluan burst out laughing when he heard the words, for such a small child to watch the shop, don't lose the shop with him.
"What about your brother and sister? Why are you here alone?"
"My sister went out to play, and my brother is practicing martial arts in the backyard." He paused for a while, and continued: "My brother seems to want to join the army."
join the army?Wang Angeng is only seven years old this year, how can a child join the army?
"Then you continue to study, and I'll go find your brother."
Qingluan walked through the hall and came all the way to the backyard.
Wang Angeng was swinging a wooden stick, as if he was dancing a spear.Although he looks good, he has no rules, and it's okay to bluff people. A real martial arts expert can tell what's going on at a glance.
"Princess," he stopped, ran over while wiping his sweat, then knelt on the ground and kowtowed firmly.
With a bang, Qingluan was startled.
This kid is so sincere.
"Come, come, get up," she picked up the sweaty kid, "Your mother asked me to bring a bag, you put it away first."
Wang Angeng put down his stick, took the burden and ran into the house with a thud, and ran out quickly after a while, as if he was afraid that someone would run away.
"Princess, my mother said that you are very powerful, so...can you teach me martial arts?"
The child's eyes are the most innocent, Qingluan didn't know how to reject him for a while.She lives in the palace, the harem, and An Geng can't follow her in, how can I teach her?
"By the way, I just heard from Xiao Ankang that you want to join the army? Is martial arts also for joining the army?"
"Yes," An Geng nodded, his small face tensed, and his expression extremely serious: "I have inquired about it. As long as the common people of the Qin State have military merits, they can be named marquis and worship generals. Isn't that what Wu An Jun Baiqi used to do? As long as I can Earning military merits, dad doesn't have to work so hard to support the shop, and younger siblings can live a good life."
He is the eldest son in the family, and he has understood the truth of paying more for the family since he was a child.He wants to join the army, make military contributions, and let the whole family live a good life!
"Well, that's a good idea." Qingluan squatted down and pressed his shoulder, and said with a smile, "But I live in the palace, so I can't teach you. How about this, I will find a way to find a master for you."
Wang Angeng answered yes again and again.
But after agreeing, she became worried.In a foreign country, where can he find his master?
Keeping this in mind, Qingluan walked around the street twice, but it was not interesting.
It turns out that going out to play is not enough to relieve boredom. Without anyone to accompany her, it is still too boring.In the past, there was a sister in Xinzheng, there was... Ji Yilin, but now in Xianyang, there is no one who can play with her.
Forget it, let's go to Brother Jiu's house to have a look.
Zi Nu was dealing with the account books, and from the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of a person on the courtyard wall, who was smiling and looking at her with his head exposed.
"Princess?" Zi Nu was so frightened by her appearance that her heart skipped a beat: "Why did you run out? Don't go through the door, it's not good to let the servant be a thief later, come down quickly..."
Qingluan easily propped up her body, stepped on the wall, jumped, and landed firmly on the ground.
"Sister-in-law, I'm here to play with you." She wrapped Zi Nu's arm affectionately, "Qin is such a big country, but I don't know many people."
No friends, no relatives.A boundless sense of loneliness rose up, and she panicked.
Zi Nu didn't ask how she got out, most likely, she sneaked out without King Qin's permission.
She smiled: "It's okay, aren't your ninth brother and I here? How about it, how is King Qin treating you? I'm always worried that you won't give in, and your life will be a mess..."
"Sister-in-law," Qingluan waved her arm coquettishly, "I'm very obedient and I didn't hit him, so don't make fun of me."
Zi Nu pulled her into the house and didn't ask any more questions, just said: "Then go into the house and say, stay and have dinner together?"
"Okay, I want to eat fish!"
The sister-in-law and sister-in-law here are enjoying themselves happily, but the atmosphere in Liangshan Palace suddenly becomes tense.
Wang uploaded a message that he was going to Mrs. Han's for dinner today.
"Aunt Xi, what should I do?" Sitao was the first to become anxious.
Only the three of them knew about Madam sneaking out.Xin Ping is the King's man, Xiao Xi dared not tell him.Telling Siqiao and Sitao is also to make the play more similar.
"I can't help it..." Xiaoxi was also a little scared.
King Qin has not been here for so many days, who would have thought that he would come when the princess slipped out.
Ying Zheng got off the sedan chair and walked slowly into the gate of Liangshan Palace.
After hanging her out for so many days, she should... figure it out.
Want to understand how important his husband is to her.After thinking about it, she shouldn't push him out "with awe-inspiring righteousness".
He ignored the palace servants who were kneeling on the ground, stepped on the stairs, and walked towards the bedroom on the Luanfeng Terrace.
Ying Zheng pushed open the door and frowned as he looked at the empty bedroom.
"Little Luan?"
no respond.
The person was not in the dormitory, nor did he go down to greet him.
?What about people? ?
The Dong Chuang incident made a confession, was fined for half a year and was banned
Qingluan ate the fish he had been longing for at Han Fei's house as he wished, and said goodbye to the couple after drinking and eating.
It was already dark, and she walked back with her stomach contented.
Ninth brother and sister-in-law are her natal family, and Ninth brother's mansion is also her natal family.Thinking about it this way, her depressed heart that was suffocated in the palace was relieved a little.
She turned into the palace city, avoided the patrolling guards familiarly, and returned to Liangshan Palace.
Dozens of palace people in her palace knelt down on the ground, not daring to lift their heads.The remaining ones standing... are all people in front of the imperial court.
Qingluan hurriedly ran over to Xiaoxi who was kneeling at the front.
"Xiaoxi..."
They have been kneeling for several hours since Ying Zheng stepped into Liangshan Palace.At this moment, Xiaoxi was already kneeling until her face turned pale. She shook her head, her face full of guilt: "Princess, the king has come over suddenly..."
My heart instantly turned cold.
Qingluan pretended to be calm and asked: "Where is he?"
This was her own fault, and she shouldn't implicate many innocent people.
"The king is still in the bedroom."
She took a quick look, and even Xin Ping's "eyes and ears" couldn't escape the kneeling team, King Qin was really angry.
"I'll go find him," Qingluan stood up a little uneasy, turned around a few times to make sure there was nothing wrong with their kneeling, and then ran towards the stairs of Luanfeng Terrace.
From outside the door, one can vaguely see the figures in the bedroom.
He should be standing next to the bookshelf with his hands behind his back, looking up and thinking about something.
Qingluan had just climbed the stairs, and she was a little nervous, as if her heart was about to pop out of her throat.
She took a deep breath, patted her chest, bravely pushed the door open, and poked her head in.
After hearing the voice, Ying Zheng glanced at him coldly, but didn't speak.
"Cousin..." She tried to be coquettish, and she passed the test.It's a pity that Ying Zheng is not Ji Yilin, nor Zi Nu, he doesn't like this.
Especially for such a serious matter, it is impossible to forgive her easily.
Qingluan squeezed into the room, squeezed her cuffs awkwardly and walked over, obediently admitted her mistake: "I was wrong."
"Are you willing to come back?" Ying Zheng looked away, started looking for something on the bookshelf, and asked, "The widow is really curious, is there anything outside the palace that seduces you, so that you try to run out like this? "
"The palace is too boring, I just want to go out to play..."
"Where did you go?"
Qingluan had never seen him look so serious before, and replied in a murmur, "I'm going to Brother Ninth's residence."
When he was Mr. Shang, although he was unsmiling, at most he was indifferent.The way it looks now...is chilling.
Ying Zheng smiled suddenly: "I think the food at Mr. Han Fei's house is more to your liking, and the food in the palace will not catch your eye."
With the smell of charcoal-grilled fish all over her body, it seemed that she ate very well.
He was angry and hungry in Liangshan Palace, but she was lucky and had a very happy life outside the palace.
"Do you know who you are?" Ying Zheng frowned, pinching her chin: "You are a concubine, the widow's wife. This is not your Han Palace, so go out if you want."
He stuffed the selected bamboo slips into her hands, with a disappointed expression on his face.
"Although you are young, sooner or later you have to learn to handle palace affairs like Madam Mi and the others, and you can't act willfully..."
She sneaked out of the palace today, and as the lady with the highest status in the harem took the lead in violating the palace rules, how could she convince the public in the future?How to manage concubines?
Ying Zheng had a headache.She is still young, he can tolerate her, but sooner or later she will learn to grow up and be independent.Blind indulgence will only harm her.
Qingluan stared blankly at the scroll in her hand that should be palace regulations.
He was right, she didn't straighten out her identity.
It has been more than a month since she married into Qin Palace, and she has been indulging in his pampering, completely forgetting her mission.
He is King Qin, not an ordinary person.His "big family" is full of twists and turns.And what she has to do is to control those women who are not worried for him.
"Yes," she obediently lowered her eyes, lifted her robe, knelt on the ground with her back straight, imitating the etiquette of Qin Palace, and folded her hands in front of her forehead: "The concubine is guilty, please be punished by the king."
Afterwards, she knelt down on the ground with the back of her hands pressed down, quietly waiting for her to be dealt with.
The powerlessness in Ying Zheng's heart rose again.
He thought that controlling her was for her own good, but when she really came down to obedience, he suddenly realized that she was not her anymore.
Although she advised him to favor other concubines before, his eyes were still lively.Now she is like a woman who really depends on the harem, and she is full of shadows of those women he hates.
"Mrs. Han violated the palace rules, and she will be fined for three months and banned for seven days."
Ying Zheng seemed a little tired. After saying this, he walked out of the bedroom with strides. After walking a few steps, he stopped suddenly: "During this period of confinement, you should memorize the palace rules carefully, and don't commit them again in the future."
If it happened in an ordinary family, a few words of reprimand would be over.But he can't, he is the king of Qin, if he takes the lead in violating the law, how can he convince the public?
He only hoped that she could understand his painstaking efforts.
The news of Mrs. Han's foot restraint spread widely, and those with good intentions, such as Tian Meiren, went to Liangshan Palace to have a look.
It's a pity that the gate of Liangshan Palace is closed, so you can't see what's going on inside.
"Mother, there are rumors that Mrs. Han is going to fall out of favor with her father." Ying Yuanman put down the braid in his hand, wanting to see how his mother would react.
"You also said it was a rumor," Madam Wang remained expressionless, she was checking the list of maids who were about to be released from the palace without even raising her eyelids.
Yuan Man was a little disappointed, she asked persistently: "Mother, Mrs. Han is loved by her father, are you not unhappy?"
In her memory, her mother has always been generous and decent.It made her feel as if... she didn't care about her father at all.
why?Even if Tian Meiren can make a fuss, other concubines will also compete for favor.The same wife, she always felt that Mrs. Mi and Mrs. Han had a much easier life than their mother.
Mrs. Wang raised her head and looked at her daughter: "You don't need to worry about these trivial matters. Yuanman, you are the eldest princess, and you are a role model for your younger brothers and sisters. You are destined to have nothing to do with such trivial matters as being jealous. Instead of having time to worry about others, it is better to worry about it." own marriage."
Yuanman is in the prime of life, and as the eldest daughter, her marriage is the top priority.Mrs. Wang discussed with Yingzheng and asked Yuanman to choose one of the children and grandchildren of important officials in the court that she liked.But she always felt that she was still young and refused to see each other.
"My daughter doesn't want to marry yet," Yuan Man felt aggrieved, "Why do you and my father always force me?"
"This is your responsibility."
Mrs. Wang put down the roster and said seriously: "What you have enjoyed for more than ten years is the honor and favor that others can't enjoy. Yuan Man, ask yourself, how does the father treat you?"
"Father treats his daughter very well..."
"You can look at the princesses of other countries, what kind of life are they living? Let's not talk about it, just talk about Mrs. Han, she is only a few years older than you, and she is not married for the mother country. Yuanman, your father It is already a great grace to be willing to keep you in the country as a betroth to your courtiers. The relationship between courtiers and the royal family has been based on marrying daughters since ancient times." Thinking of her own experience, Mrs. Wang felt a little emotional: "Mother married to the palace. In the middle, how much are your grandfather and uncle valued by the king now? In the same way, your father needs to win over the courtiers and needs you, and this is your responsibility."
"Daughter knows, mother," Yuan Man pursed her lips and obediently accepted her mission.
Mrs. Wang nodded: "You don't bother Mrs. Han in the future. After all, your mother is getting older, and she will die of illness someday. If your mother is gone after many years, you will still be wronged at your husband's house and go back to the palace. The only one who can uphold justice for you is Mrs. Han."
She was like a mirror in her heart, the king treated Mrs. Han differently from others.She and Mrs. Mi are both older, but Mrs. Han is still young and has a pure heart.Maybe in a few decades, she will be the only one of the three wives left, and she will be in charge of palace affairs.
If Yuanman is wronged in the future, there will always be someone to back her up.
Reminiscences in the forbidden palace, childhood shadows and nightmares
The seven days are neither long nor short.
It only took Qingluan three days to memorize those palace rules firmly, and the following days were a bit difficult.
It has been many years, the last time she was grounded was in Chi Meiren's Yuyi Hall when she was young.
She was locked up by Qi Meiren, and she ate worse than the palace people, and lived with Xiaodong and Xiaoxi.The only thing that can relieve the boredom is the historical materials of Qin State borrowed from Mr. Zhang Qing.
Perhaps from that time on, it was already predestined that she would marry into the Qin Palace more than ten years later.
On the sixth day of being grounded, Qingluan woke up in the morning and looked at Xiaoxi's face in a daze.
"Are you here to give me medicine? I can do it myself...you go and see Xiaodong..."
Xiaoxi was stunned.
"Grand... madam? What's the matter with you?"
The name has changed.
It was only then that Qingluan suddenly realized, she breathed a sigh of relief, and showed a relaxed smile: "It's okay, I thought it was in Youyi Hall..."
Youyi Palace, that was the darkest period experienced by the three of them, master and servant.
Who would have thought that under Qi Meiren's beautiful and enchanting appearance, there is such a vicious heart hidden.
"Ma'am, let's not disobey the king again." Xiaoxi fetched her clothes with some distress, and helped her dress up with Siqiao: "Let's be good, and we won't be grounded again."
The princess will no longer mistakenly think that she is trapped in the Palace of Yuyi.
Qingluan answered happily: "Yes, I know."
On the day when the foot ban was lifted, the king visited Liangshan Palace that night.Those rumors of good things and malicious intentions are self-defeating.
Qingluan obediently took a bath in advance, changed into pajamas and waited for him in the bedroom.
The moment Ying Zheng stepped into the dormitory, he thought he had made a mistake.
Obviously Liangshan Palace's treatment has not been reduced, but she has lost a lot of weight.
Qingluan got up from the couch, saluted and kowtowed: "Welcome to the king."
She has been studying the rules very hard these days, so hard that she has put countless invisible shackles on her body.
Too obedient.Unspeakably disappointed in Ying Zheng's heart, he leaned over to help him up.
"You don't have to."
The deliberate pandering, obedient and courteous attitude was imposed on her, which made people panic.
"Don't your majesty like it?" Qingluan was confused.
He told her to be sensible, and when she became sensible, he said she didn't have to be like this...
"I don't like it," Ying Zheng felt that it was necessary to have a good talk with her, so he took her hand and sat down on the couch together.
"Xiao Luan, you don't need to be so polite with me."
She shook her head: "I didn't."
"You have."
Ying Zheng straightened her face and met her eyes: "I was angry that day, and some words were a bit harsh. If you are angry, I apologize to you."
This is the biggest concession he can make.He would rather give up his superior status and apologize to her than let the little girl whose eyes were full of light in the past dim down her eyes.
"Your Majesty doesn't need to apologize, it's the concubine who is at fault." Qingluan didn't respond to his weakness, but just lowered her head: "The concubine has already memorized all the palace rules, and I won't run out of the palace to provoke the king again." Not fast."
"Xiao Luan, I'm not angry with you for leaving the palace, but angry with you for leaving the palace privately." Ying Zheng hugged her into his arms, stroking her back with his big palm: "Your body is different now than before. Run out of the palace secretly, if something happens, what should I do?"
She was like fragile porcelain after that injury and needed to be well protected.Once he was caught in fire and lost the ability to fight back in the face of danger, he didn't dare to think about it...
"Yes……"
"If you want to leave the palace in the future, send someone to tell the widow. The widow asks someone to take out the palace token for you. You can go wherever you want to play, huh?"
Qingluan nodded, and put her arms around his waist: "But the king said before that ministers and concubines cannot leave the palace just because they want to."
Ying Zheng felt very uncomfortable when she heard her talk about "concubine" and "king".
"You were not like this before." He kissed her lightly on the forehead: "The widow takes back those words before, you don't need to change yourself for this."
"I," she suddenly buried her head in his chest, "I don't know what's wrong. I used to think of you as Ying Zheng, but that day I really realized that you are actually the King of Qin."
He is the king of Qin, so she must respect him and serve him like a courtier treats a king, instead of treating him like that down-and-out son Shang as before.
"With you, I will always be Ying Zheng."
"But you are the King of Qin after all..." Qingluan wanted to say something, but was picked up by Ying Zheng and walked towards the bed.
"To you, I'm just Ying Zheng." He emphasized again.
They haven't been together for a long time, and they went to bed late this night.
At dawn, Ying Zheng was awakened by Qingluan's cries in his sleep.
She was still in the dream, but tears were streaming down her face, and she was still crying "Don't hit me".
It must have been a nightmare, so Ying Zheng hurriedly shook her awake.
Qingluan cried out of breath and plunged into his arms.
"What's wrong? Who hit you?"
"No... No one," she dodged a little: "You hug me to sleep, I'm afraid."
Ying Zheng noticed the abnormality and didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he sat up straight and rubbed the top of her head comfortingly: "Don't be afraid, I won't sleep anymore, and I'll stay here with you."
"Then I'll lie down, you still have to go up..." Qingluan climbed off him, lay obediently beside him, turned her body sideways, and closed her eyes.
"Sleep, don't be afraid," Ying Zheng leaned over and kissed her on the cheek.
Someone is watching, so I feel more at ease.
After a while, Qingluan fell asleep again.
Ying Zheng tucked in the quilt for her, pulled the curtains around the bed tightly, and left the bedroom with light movements.
He still felt that she had something to hide from him, but refused to say it.Since she didn't want to say it, he wouldn't ask.
However, he will ask others.
Xiaoxi was staring at the cook making porridge in the dining room, and was taken aback by the sudden appearance of King Qin.
"Come out, I have something to ask you."
Xiaoxi felt apprehensive, but still followed her out.
"What's wrong with Xiaoluan?" Ying Zheng sat down on the edge of the well outside the dining room, tapping his fingers regularly on his knees: "She had a nightmare this morning, and she was crying for people not to beat her."
Another nightmare brought by Yidian and Qi Meiren.
"It happened when the princess was a child." Xiaoxi had mixed feelings in his heart, sighed and continued, "After Mrs. Ding passed away, the princess was handed over to be raised by Qi Meiren. Later, it was discovered that the princess was not liked by the king of Han at all, so he locked the princess and our two slaves in the palace of Youyi, and forbade us to go out to 'disgrace'..."
Ying Zheng frowned more and more tightly: "That Chi Mei hit her?"
"Yes. She was not favored by the King of Han, so she came back to vent her anger on the princess. The servants couldn't stop her, and every time there were only two people in the palace, Qi Meiren and the princess... The princess was only five or six years old at that time, and she was beaten every time. She was beaten all over her body... two days ago, the servants noticed that something was wrong," Xiao Xi felt guilty: "That day when the princess woke up in the morning, she thought she was still in the Palace of Yuyi, and the servants were going to give her medicine. It's all because the servants didn't It’s because I couldn’t protect the princess back then.”
"The wicked woman is dead?" Ying Zheng thought about Qingluan's ups and downs in the past, and probably figured out what happened.
After that wicked woman died, she was brought back to Xueyi Castle by her godmother to raise her.With that beauty Qi as a comparison, everyone is good to her, especially her godmother is really good to her.So she would rather fight Bai Yifei to avenge her godmother.
"Dead," Xiaoxi replied, "The carriage lost control and rushed into the river, drowning."
Xunyuanzi flaunts his power and is expelled to Fusu to give away the cat
When Ying Zheng came back from court, Qing Luan was still sleeping.
Maybe it was because she was too tired last night, or maybe she had a nightmare in the morning, she couldn't sleep well, and fell asleep again groggyly.
When she opened her eyes again, Ying Zheng was sitting on the side of the bed, wearing a black court dress and wearing a crown, watching over her.
"What time is it?" Qingluan rubbed her temples and sat up.
He was dressed like this, either to go to court, or to come back from court.
Ying Zheng stretched out his hands to pinch her face, and said with a smile, "Go back to sleep if you haven't slept enough, no one in the palace dares to restrain you."
"That's no good. Today is the first day I've lifted the confinement. I have to dress up and go to the garden to stop those people's mouths." She suddenly reacted and asked: "Yes Why are you still here?"
Seeing that it should be the next court, he can spend his days in Xianyang Palace receiving courtiers and dealing with state affairs, and he will only step into the harem when he is free at night.
Ying Zheng's expression was very serious: "You had a nightmare in the morning, I'm worried, I'm here to see you."
Will the diligent Qin King temporarily neglect state affairs for her one day?Although there is a guilty conscience of being a "Su Daji", it is more of satisfaction.
There seemed to be some sweetness in my heart, which made me want to laugh.
Qingluan forcibly suppressed the raised corners of her mouth, pretending not to care: "It's just a nightmare, you don't need to make such a fuss!"
"You dreamed that someone was beating you, and I felt suspicious, so... I went to ask Xiaoxi. She told the widow all those things."
She froze.
Subconsciously, she has been avoiding such an unbearable past.It's all because of the confinement for the past few days, which caused her to draw out all the bad memories.
"It's okay," Qingluan smiled, and took his hand: "You may not know that I killed that Qi Mei with my own hands. I have already taken revenge..."
Ying Zheng held her back with pity, and seemed to breathe a sigh of relief: "This way, I will feel better."
If that Chi Mei was still alive, he would have easily captured her, tortured her to death, and avenged Xiao Luan.But if Qi Mei was not dead, Xiao Luan would not be taken out of the palace by Xue Yihou's mother, and they... might not have the chance to get acquainted.
Caught in a strange circle, he was annoyed why Meiren Qi died so early, and at the same time rejoiced that Meiren Qi didn't torture Xiaoluan for too long.
After Qingluan adjusted, he thought about the business, and began to persuade him solemnly: "Go back to Xianyang Palace to deal with political affairs, the state affairs are important."
"The widow may be busy these days. It's almost winter, and the people's life is not easy. The widow has to do the storage and adjustment of food, including the formulation of taxes for the coming year." Ying Zheng was a little helpless: "Be good, wait until things are settled. The widow will come to see you again. The widow will also stay with the token of leaving the palace, tell Xin Ping before you go, and he will notify the widow."
If it was in the past, Qingluan would have been happy and sent him away happily.But now... I don't know why, I feel a little lost.
"Well, I'll be good, you go."
After Ying Zheng left, she dressed up and ran to the garden to "show off her might".
Don't you all wait to see her joke?She simply stood up by herself and let them see enough.Just keep their mouths shut, and you can live a peaceful life for two days.
Sure enough, people cannot be subdued.If you lower your head first, there will definitely be many people who have fallen into trouble and will jump out to interfere.
Tian Meiren was still as timid as ever, when she saw the figure of Mrs. Han from a distance, she turned around and ran away with her children.
Good boy, fortunately the gate of Liangshan Palace was closed at that time, so she wasn't allowed in!If at that time she rushed in recklessly to ridicule her, and if Mrs. Han was released today, she would not know if she would see the sun tomorrow.
This Mrs. Han is really evil, I thought that her good life would be over after being rejected by the king and grounded.Who would have thought that the king would rush over to pamper her that night when the confinement was lifted!The honor and favor rose instead of falling, and the grounds and fines were just a joke between two people.
It's better to stay away, don't be caught by her in any wrong place.
The weather is getting colder, but Qingluan likes to stroll in the garden more and more.
She just likes to see those women who are gnashing their teeth with hatred, but have to respect her.Later, those concubines knew that they couldn't afford to offend them, so they could only hide and didn't come into the garden.
Qingluan felt that she had a new title: inspector of the palace garden.
With her here, who would dare to come out, a concubine with ghosts in her heart?
Mrs. Han, who was about to grow hairy in the palace, finally found something she was interested in: punishing "traitors" and eliminating "evil".
She can't deal with palace affairs, but she can keep the harem clean.
Since then, the three wives in the harem have performed their duties.Mrs. Mi is in charge of money, Mrs. Wang is in charge of the palace, and Mrs. Han... patrols the garden.
Ying Zheng went to the suburbs to inspect the people's conditions, and was not in the palace for many days.
Qingluan felt that it would be better to sleep alone, but it would be a bit cramped for two... But she dared not say this.
The last time she had time to think when she was grounded, she vaguely recalled that the awkward King Qin was clearly angry because of her pushing him out.
She can't do anything, she can only try to avoid this "reverse scale" of King Qin, and stop touching his bad luck.
While patrolling the garden that day, Qingluan had an unexpected harvest.
She, and, has, cat, gone!
From a long distance, he saw the young master Fusu holding a basket in his hand, talking to the eldest princess Yuanman behind the rockery.She was curious, so she withdrew the palace servants and went over to have a look.
"Mrs. Han..." Fusu felt a little embarrassed, and hid the basket behind his back.
"What are you hiding?" Qingluan poked her head out from behind the rockery: "The eldest princess can see it, but I can't? Don't be stingy, son, show it to me too..."
Fusu has read many books of sages and sages over the years, and the principles of father and son, monarch and minister have been deeply imprinted in his mind.It wasn't aimed at anyone, he avoided all the concubines of Ying Zheng.
Since ancient times, there have been many affairs between the young master and his father, concubines and concubines, and he has always avoided them on purpose.
Qingluan didn't think too much about it. In her opinion, except for the eldest princess who has matured, the other twenty or so children are all little/fart/kids who don't understand anything, including Fusu who is almost ten years old.
"Mrs. Han," Yuan Man recalled her mother's entrustment, and intentionally expressed her affection to her: "We are looking after cats."
"Cat? Where is it? Show me..."
She used to raise Orange Tuan'er in Xueyi Castle, but when she followed Bai Yifei back to Beijing, Orange Tuan'er was left behind in Xueyi Castle.Come to think of it, I haven't seen an orange ball for several years.Whether it is still alive or not is unknown.
Fusu twitched and carried the basket in front of him, and lifted the floral cloth covering the basket.Inside were three newly weaned kittens, curiously leaning on the edge of the bamboo basket and looking out.
"Ah!" Qingluan exclaimed, her heart melted at the sight of these fluffy little things: "Where did the cat come from? It's so cute..."
"Mrs. Hui, she is the cub under the big flower I raised."
Yuan Man added: "Big brother's big flower has given birth to cubs, but the palace can't keep so many. Mrs. Mi told him to keep one and send the rest of the cubs away."
"I wanted to ask my eldest sister if she wanted to raise her, so my wife came over..."
"Keeping cats is also very fun. When I was your age, I also raised one. It was called Orange Tuaner. Ah, it looks very similar to this one," Qingluan pointed to the most sought-after orange in the basket. He smiled and said, "Mine is very clingy. I didn't live in the palace at the time, and I was very lonely. It was the one who played with me."
Fu Su's thoughts moved slightly: "It is destined to be with you. Then, Mrs. Han, why don't you take it back and raise it?"
Mother said that if he didn't send these cats out today, he wouldn't have to go back... Fusu was still very scared...
By chance, Xingzi was obtained, and Yuanman got married in the previous dynasty
Do you have a cat?
It seems that there is nothing wrong with it.
Qingluan carefully pinched the nape of the little orange cat, and lifted it up, the cat, which was originally meowing uneasy, stopped.This kitten is very dexterous, its eyes are purring, and it is estimated that it will be a mischievous one when it grows up.
It's not exactly the same as Tangerine.Orange Tuan'er's four claws are all white, unlike this one, which is orange all over.
Under Fusu's earnest gaze, she finally made up her mind: "Then... I'll raise it."
Although she has already lost her salary for half a year, but... raising a cat with a dowry... shouldn't be too difficult...
Fusu heaved a sigh of relief, seeing Yuanman's tangled expression, said while the iron was hot: "Big sister, Mrs. Han has already raised them, so you should raise one too!"
There are two left in the basket, one raccoon and one orange.
The one with the raccoon flower looks better than the orange one, Yuanman thought for a long time, and picked up the little raccoon flower like Qingluan, and hugged her in his arms: "I want this."
Huh—two of them have already been given away, and it seems that they will not be kicked out by mother again today.Fusu's heart finally fell back into his stomach.
"Mrs. Han, what name do you want?" Yuan Man asked.
Qingluan thought for a while: "Well... let's call it Xingzi, it looks like an apricot."
Anyway, about the same color.
"It's a good name," Yuan Man played with his little raccoon paw for a while, and he had an idea in his mind: "I'll call this one Chestnut."
She has seen fried chestnuts bought on the street, which are similar in color to this one.
"There's only one left." Fusu was a little embarrassed: "Big sister, will you be willing to raise it?"
Yuan Man shook his head hastily: "Don't. The general's attack is not serious, it's easy to pinch the cat to death..."
"Then what should I do... If I don't send the cat out, my mother will drive me out of the palace."
Fusu's expression looked like Mrs. Mi was some kind of scourge that wanted to eat him.Although in Qingluan's view, Mrs. Mi was just scaring him.
But it's not convenient for her to say more about others controlling her own children.
"It should have just come to court at this moment, why don't you ask Mr. Changping? He is your uncle, and raising a cat shouldn't be a problem."
"That's right, my uncle is also going to court!" Yuan Man slapped his head, put the chestnuts back into the basket, dragged Fusu with his left hand, and Qingluan with his right hand, and ran towards the main hall for discussing politics.
Unfortunately, Mr. Changping took leave today and did not go to court.Mr. Chang Wen is a bit rough, how can he play with cats and dogs?Uncle Fusu's path is dead.
Yuanman accurately found his uncle, Wang Ben, among the ministers.
"Uncle!" Yuan Man stood by the pillar and waved to Wang Ben: "Come here!"
Wang Ben smiled, said goodbye to his colleagues and walked towards them.
Qingluan quickly recalled the details in the palace rules, um...just saying that concubines are not allowed to privately view foreign ministers.But she is not biased now!The Eldest Princess and Eldest Young Master were all present, there was a reason for the incident, no wonder she was there.
"Uncle, do you want to keep a cat?" She opened the curtain, took out the remaining orange and white cat, and held it up to Wang Ben: "This is the only one left."
Wang Ben waved his hand straight away: "No. You see that uncle seems to be patient in serving them? Leading the soldiers is very tiring, so don't find extra work for uncle."
"Then you can take it back to your cousin!" Yuan Man did not give up: "Uncle, you have been in the military camp all year round, your cousin must be very lonely!"
Lead troops?barracks?
Qingluan thought of what he had promised Wang Angeng before, and suddenly had a bold idea.
Fusu over there also followed suit
This child is a bit like her. He has loved reading since he was a child.Although it can be seen that he is struggling to read, maybe he still can't recognize all the characters of Qin State, so he can only pick out each word, and if he really doesn't know it, he will write it down, and then ask his friends.
Looking around, he didn't see Wang Wu.Qingluan asked: "Where's your father?"
"Daddy went to the street to buy vegetables and asked me to watch the shop."
Qingluan burst out laughing when he heard the words, for such a small child to watch the shop, don't lose the shop with him.
"What about your brother and sister? Why are you here alone?"
"My sister went out to play, and my brother is practicing martial arts in the backyard." He paused for a while, and continued: "My brother seems to want to join the army."
join the army?Wang Angeng is only seven years old this year, how can a child join the army?
"Then you continue to study, and I'll go find your brother."
Qingluan walked through the hall and came all the way to the backyard.
Wang Angeng was swinging a wooden stick, as if he was dancing a spear.Although he looks good, he has no rules, and it's okay to bluff people. A real martial arts expert can tell what's going on at a glance.
"Princess," he stopped, ran over while wiping his sweat, then knelt on the ground and kowtowed firmly.
With a bang, Qingluan was startled.
This kid is so sincere.
"Come, come, get up," she picked up the sweaty kid, "Your mother asked me to bring a bag, you put it away first."
Wang Angeng put down his stick, took the burden and ran into the house with a thud, and ran out quickly after a while, as if he was afraid that someone would run away.
"Princess, my mother said that you are very powerful, so...can you teach me martial arts?"
The child's eyes are the most innocent, Qingluan didn't know how to reject him for a while.She lives in the palace, the harem, and An Geng can't follow her in, how can I teach her?
"By the way, I just heard from Xiao Ankang that you want to join the army? Is martial arts also for joining the army?"
"Yes," An Geng nodded, his small face tensed, and his expression extremely serious: "I have inquired about it. As long as the common people of the Qin State have military merits, they can be named marquis and worship generals. Isn't that what Wu An Jun Baiqi used to do? As long as I can Earning military merits, dad doesn't have to work so hard to support the shop, and younger siblings can live a good life."
He is the eldest son in the family, and he has understood the truth of paying more for the family since he was a child.He wants to join the army, make military contributions, and let the whole family live a good life!
"Well, that's a good idea." Qingluan squatted down and pressed his shoulder, and said with a smile, "But I live in the palace, so I can't teach you. How about this, I will find a way to find a master for you."
Wang Angeng answered yes again and again.
But after agreeing, she became worried.In a foreign country, where can he find his master?
Keeping this in mind, Qingluan walked around the street twice, but it was not interesting.
It turns out that going out to play is not enough to relieve boredom. Without anyone to accompany her, it is still too boring.In the past, there was a sister in Xinzheng, there was... Ji Yilin, but now in Xianyang, there is no one who can play with her.
Forget it, let's go to Brother Jiu's house to have a look.
Zi Nu was dealing with the account books, and from the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of a person on the courtyard wall, who was smiling and looking at her with his head exposed.
"Princess?" Zi Nu was so frightened by her appearance that her heart skipped a beat: "Why did you run out? Don't go through the door, it's not good to let the servant be a thief later, come down quickly..."
Qingluan easily propped up her body, stepped on the wall, jumped, and landed firmly on the ground.
"Sister-in-law, I'm here to play with you." She wrapped Zi Nu's arm affectionately, "Qin is such a big country, but I don't know many people."
No friends, no relatives.A boundless sense of loneliness rose up, and she panicked.
Zi Nu didn't ask how she got out, most likely, she sneaked out without King Qin's permission.
She smiled: "It's okay, aren't your ninth brother and I here? How about it, how is King Qin treating you? I'm always worried that you won't give in, and your life will be a mess..."
"Sister-in-law," Qingluan waved her arm coquettishly, "I'm very obedient and I didn't hit him, so don't make fun of me."
Zi Nu pulled her into the house and didn't ask any more questions, just said: "Then go into the house and say, stay and have dinner together?"
"Okay, I want to eat fish!"
The sister-in-law and sister-in-law here are enjoying themselves happily, but the atmosphere in Liangshan Palace suddenly becomes tense.
Wang uploaded a message that he was going to Mrs. Han's for dinner today.
"Aunt Xi, what should I do?" Sitao was the first to become anxious.
Only the three of them knew about Madam sneaking out.Xin Ping is the King's man, Xiao Xi dared not tell him.Telling Siqiao and Sitao is also to make the play more similar.
"I can't help it..." Xiaoxi was also a little scared.
King Qin has not been here for so many days, who would have thought that he would come when the princess slipped out.
Ying Zheng got off the sedan chair and walked slowly into the gate of Liangshan Palace.
After hanging her out for so many days, she should... figure it out.
Want to understand how important his husband is to her.After thinking about it, she shouldn't push him out "with awe-inspiring righteousness".
He ignored the palace servants who were kneeling on the ground, stepped on the stairs, and walked towards the bedroom on the Luanfeng Terrace.
Ying Zheng pushed open the door and frowned as he looked at the empty bedroom.
"Little Luan?"
no respond.
The person was not in the dormitory, nor did he go down to greet him.
?What about people? ?
The Dong Chuang incident made a confession, was fined for half a year and was banned
Qingluan ate the fish he had been longing for at Han Fei's house as he wished, and said goodbye to the couple after drinking and eating.
It was already dark, and she walked back with her stomach contented.
Ninth brother and sister-in-law are her natal family, and Ninth brother's mansion is also her natal family.Thinking about it this way, her depressed heart that was suffocated in the palace was relieved a little.
She turned into the palace city, avoided the patrolling guards familiarly, and returned to Liangshan Palace.
Dozens of palace people in her palace knelt down on the ground, not daring to lift their heads.The remaining ones standing... are all people in front of the imperial court.
Qingluan hurriedly ran over to Xiaoxi who was kneeling at the front.
"Xiaoxi..."
They have been kneeling for several hours since Ying Zheng stepped into Liangshan Palace.At this moment, Xiaoxi was already kneeling until her face turned pale. She shook her head, her face full of guilt: "Princess, the king has come over suddenly..."
My heart instantly turned cold.
Qingluan pretended to be calm and asked: "Where is he?"
This was her own fault, and she shouldn't implicate many innocent people.
"The king is still in the bedroom."
She took a quick look, and even Xin Ping's "eyes and ears" couldn't escape the kneeling team, King Qin was really angry.
"I'll go find him," Qingluan stood up a little uneasy, turned around a few times to make sure there was nothing wrong with their kneeling, and then ran towards the stairs of Luanfeng Terrace.
From outside the door, one can vaguely see the figures in the bedroom.
He should be standing next to the bookshelf with his hands behind his back, looking up and thinking about something.
Qingluan had just climbed the stairs, and she was a little nervous, as if her heart was about to pop out of her throat.
She took a deep breath, patted her chest, bravely pushed the door open, and poked her head in.
After hearing the voice, Ying Zheng glanced at him coldly, but didn't speak.
"Cousin..." She tried to be coquettish, and she passed the test.It's a pity that Ying Zheng is not Ji Yilin, nor Zi Nu, he doesn't like this.
Especially for such a serious matter, it is impossible to forgive her easily.
Qingluan squeezed into the room, squeezed her cuffs awkwardly and walked over, obediently admitted her mistake: "I was wrong."
"Are you willing to come back?" Ying Zheng looked away, started looking for something on the bookshelf, and asked, "The widow is really curious, is there anything outside the palace that seduces you, so that you try to run out like this? "
"The palace is too boring, I just want to go out to play..."
"Where did you go?"
Qingluan had never seen him look so serious before, and replied in a murmur, "I'm going to Brother Ninth's residence."
When he was Mr. Shang, although he was unsmiling, at most he was indifferent.The way it looks now...is chilling.
Ying Zheng smiled suddenly: "I think the food at Mr. Han Fei's house is more to your liking, and the food in the palace will not catch your eye."
With the smell of charcoal-grilled fish all over her body, it seemed that she ate very well.
He was angry and hungry in Liangshan Palace, but she was lucky and had a very happy life outside the palace.
"Do you know who you are?" Ying Zheng frowned, pinching her chin: "You are a concubine, the widow's wife. This is not your Han Palace, so go out if you want."
He stuffed the selected bamboo slips into her hands, with a disappointed expression on his face.
"Although you are young, sooner or later you have to learn to handle palace affairs like Madam Mi and the others, and you can't act willfully..."
She sneaked out of the palace today, and as the lady with the highest status in the harem took the lead in violating the palace rules, how could she convince the public in the future?How to manage concubines?
Ying Zheng had a headache.She is still young, he can tolerate her, but sooner or later she will learn to grow up and be independent.Blind indulgence will only harm her.
Qingluan stared blankly at the scroll in her hand that should be palace regulations.
He was right, she didn't straighten out her identity.
It has been more than a month since she married into Qin Palace, and she has been indulging in his pampering, completely forgetting her mission.
He is King Qin, not an ordinary person.His "big family" is full of twists and turns.And what she has to do is to control those women who are not worried for him.
"Yes," she obediently lowered her eyes, lifted her robe, knelt on the ground with her back straight, imitating the etiquette of Qin Palace, and folded her hands in front of her forehead: "The concubine is guilty, please be punished by the king."
Afterwards, she knelt down on the ground with the back of her hands pressed down, quietly waiting for her to be dealt with.
The powerlessness in Ying Zheng's heart rose again.
He thought that controlling her was for her own good, but when she really came down to obedience, he suddenly realized that she was not her anymore.
Although she advised him to favor other concubines before, his eyes were still lively.Now she is like a woman who really depends on the harem, and she is full of shadows of those women he hates.
"Mrs. Han violated the palace rules, and she will be fined for three months and banned for seven days."
Ying Zheng seemed a little tired. After saying this, he walked out of the bedroom with strides. After walking a few steps, he stopped suddenly: "During this period of confinement, you should memorize the palace rules carefully, and don't commit them again in the future."
If it happened in an ordinary family, a few words of reprimand would be over.But he can't, he is the king of Qin, if he takes the lead in violating the law, how can he convince the public?
He only hoped that she could understand his painstaking efforts.
The news of Mrs. Han's foot restraint spread widely, and those with good intentions, such as Tian Meiren, went to Liangshan Palace to have a look.
It's a pity that the gate of Liangshan Palace is closed, so you can't see what's going on inside.
"Mother, there are rumors that Mrs. Han is going to fall out of favor with her father." Ying Yuanman put down the braid in his hand, wanting to see how his mother would react.
"You also said it was a rumor," Madam Wang remained expressionless, she was checking the list of maids who were about to be released from the palace without even raising her eyelids.
Yuan Man was a little disappointed, she asked persistently: "Mother, Mrs. Han is loved by her father, are you not unhappy?"
In her memory, her mother has always been generous and decent.It made her feel as if... she didn't care about her father at all.
why?Even if Tian Meiren can make a fuss, other concubines will also compete for favor.The same wife, she always felt that Mrs. Mi and Mrs. Han had a much easier life than their mother.
Mrs. Wang raised her head and looked at her daughter: "You don't need to worry about these trivial matters. Yuanman, you are the eldest princess, and you are a role model for your younger brothers and sisters. You are destined to have nothing to do with such trivial matters as being jealous. Instead of having time to worry about others, it is better to worry about it." own marriage."
Yuanman is in the prime of life, and as the eldest daughter, her marriage is the top priority.Mrs. Wang discussed with Yingzheng and asked Yuanman to choose one of the children and grandchildren of important officials in the court that she liked.But she always felt that she was still young and refused to see each other.
"My daughter doesn't want to marry yet," Yuan Man felt aggrieved, "Why do you and my father always force me?"
"This is your responsibility."
Mrs. Wang put down the roster and said seriously: "What you have enjoyed for more than ten years is the honor and favor that others can't enjoy. Yuan Man, ask yourself, how does the father treat you?"
"Father treats his daughter very well..."
"You can look at the princesses of other countries, what kind of life are they living? Let's not talk about it, just talk about Mrs. Han, she is only a few years older than you, and she is not married for the mother country. Yuanman, your father It is already a great grace to be willing to keep you in the country as a betroth to your courtiers. The relationship between courtiers and the royal family has been based on marrying daughters since ancient times." Thinking of her own experience, Mrs. Wang felt a little emotional: "Mother married to the palace. In the middle, how much are your grandfather and uncle valued by the king now? In the same way, your father needs to win over the courtiers and needs you, and this is your responsibility."
"Daughter knows, mother," Yuan Man pursed her lips and obediently accepted her mission.
Mrs. Wang nodded: "You don't bother Mrs. Han in the future. After all, your mother is getting older, and she will die of illness someday. If your mother is gone after many years, you will still be wronged at your husband's house and go back to the palace. The only one who can uphold justice for you is Mrs. Han."
She was like a mirror in her heart, the king treated Mrs. Han differently from others.She and Mrs. Mi are both older, but Mrs. Han is still young and has a pure heart.Maybe in a few decades, she will be the only one of the three wives left, and she will be in charge of palace affairs.
If Yuanman is wronged in the future, there will always be someone to back her up.
Reminiscences in the forbidden palace, childhood shadows and nightmares
The seven days are neither long nor short.
It only took Qingluan three days to memorize those palace rules firmly, and the following days were a bit difficult.
It has been many years, the last time she was grounded was in Chi Meiren's Yuyi Hall when she was young.
She was locked up by Qi Meiren, and she ate worse than the palace people, and lived with Xiaodong and Xiaoxi.The only thing that can relieve the boredom is the historical materials of Qin State borrowed from Mr. Zhang Qing.
Perhaps from that time on, it was already predestined that she would marry into the Qin Palace more than ten years later.
On the sixth day of being grounded, Qingluan woke up in the morning and looked at Xiaoxi's face in a daze.
"Are you here to give me medicine? I can do it myself...you go and see Xiaodong..."
Xiaoxi was stunned.
"Grand... madam? What's the matter with you?"
The name has changed.
It was only then that Qingluan suddenly realized, she breathed a sigh of relief, and showed a relaxed smile: "It's okay, I thought it was in Youyi Hall..."
Youyi Palace, that was the darkest period experienced by the three of them, master and servant.
Who would have thought that under Qi Meiren's beautiful and enchanting appearance, there is such a vicious heart hidden.
"Ma'am, let's not disobey the king again." Xiaoxi fetched her clothes with some distress, and helped her dress up with Siqiao: "Let's be good, and we won't be grounded again."
The princess will no longer mistakenly think that she is trapped in the Palace of Yuyi.
Qingluan answered happily: "Yes, I know."
On the day when the foot ban was lifted, the king visited Liangshan Palace that night.Those rumors of good things and malicious intentions are self-defeating.
Qingluan obediently took a bath in advance, changed into pajamas and waited for him in the bedroom.
The moment Ying Zheng stepped into the dormitory, he thought he had made a mistake.
Obviously Liangshan Palace's treatment has not been reduced, but she has lost a lot of weight.
Qingluan got up from the couch, saluted and kowtowed: "Welcome to the king."
She has been studying the rules very hard these days, so hard that she has put countless invisible shackles on her body.
Too obedient.Unspeakably disappointed in Ying Zheng's heart, he leaned over to help him up.
"You don't have to."
The deliberate pandering, obedient and courteous attitude was imposed on her, which made people panic.
"Don't your majesty like it?" Qingluan was confused.
He told her to be sensible, and when she became sensible, he said she didn't have to be like this...
"I don't like it," Ying Zheng felt that it was necessary to have a good talk with her, so he took her hand and sat down on the couch together.
"Xiao Luan, you don't need to be so polite with me."
She shook her head: "I didn't."
"You have."
Ying Zheng straightened her face and met her eyes: "I was angry that day, and some words were a bit harsh. If you are angry, I apologize to you."
This is the biggest concession he can make.He would rather give up his superior status and apologize to her than let the little girl whose eyes were full of light in the past dim down her eyes.
"Your Majesty doesn't need to apologize, it's the concubine who is at fault." Qingluan didn't respond to his weakness, but just lowered her head: "The concubine has already memorized all the palace rules, and I won't run out of the palace to provoke the king again." Not fast."
"Xiao Luan, I'm not angry with you for leaving the palace, but angry with you for leaving the palace privately." Ying Zheng hugged her into his arms, stroking her back with his big palm: "Your body is different now than before. Run out of the palace secretly, if something happens, what should I do?"
She was like fragile porcelain after that injury and needed to be well protected.Once he was caught in fire and lost the ability to fight back in the face of danger, he didn't dare to think about it...
"Yes……"
"If you want to leave the palace in the future, send someone to tell the widow. The widow asks someone to take out the palace token for you. You can go wherever you want to play, huh?"
Qingluan nodded, and put her arms around his waist: "But the king said before that ministers and concubines cannot leave the palace just because they want to."
Ying Zheng felt very uncomfortable when she heard her talk about "concubine" and "king".
"You were not like this before." He kissed her lightly on the forehead: "The widow takes back those words before, you don't need to change yourself for this."
"I," she suddenly buried her head in his chest, "I don't know what's wrong. I used to think of you as Ying Zheng, but that day I really realized that you are actually the King of Qin."
He is the king of Qin, so she must respect him and serve him like a courtier treats a king, instead of treating him like that down-and-out son Shang as before.
"With you, I will always be Ying Zheng."
"But you are the King of Qin after all..." Qingluan wanted to say something, but was picked up by Ying Zheng and walked towards the bed.
"To you, I'm just Ying Zheng." He emphasized again.
They haven't been together for a long time, and they went to bed late this night.
At dawn, Ying Zheng was awakened by Qingluan's cries in his sleep.
She was still in the dream, but tears were streaming down her face, and she was still crying "Don't hit me".
It must have been a nightmare, so Ying Zheng hurriedly shook her awake.
Qingluan cried out of breath and plunged into his arms.
"What's wrong? Who hit you?"
"No... No one," she dodged a little: "You hug me to sleep, I'm afraid."
Ying Zheng noticed the abnormality and didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he sat up straight and rubbed the top of her head comfortingly: "Don't be afraid, I won't sleep anymore, and I'll stay here with you."
"Then I'll lie down, you still have to go up..." Qingluan climbed off him, lay obediently beside him, turned her body sideways, and closed her eyes.
"Sleep, don't be afraid," Ying Zheng leaned over and kissed her on the cheek.
Someone is watching, so I feel more at ease.
After a while, Qingluan fell asleep again.
Ying Zheng tucked in the quilt for her, pulled the curtains around the bed tightly, and left the bedroom with light movements.
He still felt that she had something to hide from him, but refused to say it.Since she didn't want to say it, he wouldn't ask.
However, he will ask others.
Xiaoxi was staring at the cook making porridge in the dining room, and was taken aback by the sudden appearance of King Qin.
"Come out, I have something to ask you."
Xiaoxi felt apprehensive, but still followed her out.
"What's wrong with Xiaoluan?" Ying Zheng sat down on the edge of the well outside the dining room, tapping his fingers regularly on his knees: "She had a nightmare this morning, and she was crying for people not to beat her."
Another nightmare brought by Yidian and Qi Meiren.
"It happened when the princess was a child." Xiaoxi had mixed feelings in his heart, sighed and continued, "After Mrs. Ding passed away, the princess was handed over to be raised by Qi Meiren. Later, it was discovered that the princess was not liked by the king of Han at all, so he locked the princess and our two slaves in the palace of Youyi, and forbade us to go out to 'disgrace'..."
Ying Zheng frowned more and more tightly: "That Chi Mei hit her?"
"Yes. She was not favored by the King of Han, so she came back to vent her anger on the princess. The servants couldn't stop her, and every time there were only two people in the palace, Qi Meiren and the princess... The princess was only five or six years old at that time, and she was beaten every time. She was beaten all over her body... two days ago, the servants noticed that something was wrong," Xiao Xi felt guilty: "That day when the princess woke up in the morning, she thought she was still in the Palace of Yuyi, and the servants were going to give her medicine. It's all because the servants didn't It’s because I couldn’t protect the princess back then.”
"The wicked woman is dead?" Ying Zheng thought about Qingluan's ups and downs in the past, and probably figured out what happened.
After that wicked woman died, she was brought back to Xueyi Castle by her godmother to raise her.With that beauty Qi as a comparison, everyone is good to her, especially her godmother is really good to her.So she would rather fight Bai Yifei to avenge her godmother.
"Dead," Xiaoxi replied, "The carriage lost control and rushed into the river, drowning."
Xunyuanzi flaunts his power and is expelled to Fusu to give away the cat
When Ying Zheng came back from court, Qing Luan was still sleeping.
Maybe it was because she was too tired last night, or maybe she had a nightmare in the morning, she couldn't sleep well, and fell asleep again groggyly.
When she opened her eyes again, Ying Zheng was sitting on the side of the bed, wearing a black court dress and wearing a crown, watching over her.
"What time is it?" Qingluan rubbed her temples and sat up.
He was dressed like this, either to go to court, or to come back from court.
Ying Zheng stretched out his hands to pinch her face, and said with a smile, "Go back to sleep if you haven't slept enough, no one in the palace dares to restrain you."
"That's no good. Today is the first day I've lifted the confinement. I have to dress up and go to the garden to stop those people's mouths." She suddenly reacted and asked: "Yes Why are you still here?"
Seeing that it should be the next court, he can spend his days in Xianyang Palace receiving courtiers and dealing with state affairs, and he will only step into the harem when he is free at night.
Ying Zheng's expression was very serious: "You had a nightmare in the morning, I'm worried, I'm here to see you."
Will the diligent Qin King temporarily neglect state affairs for her one day?Although there is a guilty conscience of being a "Su Daji", it is more of satisfaction.
There seemed to be some sweetness in my heart, which made me want to laugh.
Qingluan forcibly suppressed the raised corners of her mouth, pretending not to care: "It's just a nightmare, you don't need to make such a fuss!"
"You dreamed that someone was beating you, and I felt suspicious, so... I went to ask Xiaoxi. She told the widow all those things."
She froze.
Subconsciously, she has been avoiding such an unbearable past.It's all because of the confinement for the past few days, which caused her to draw out all the bad memories.
"It's okay," Qingluan smiled, and took his hand: "You may not know that I killed that Qi Mei with my own hands. I have already taken revenge..."
Ying Zheng held her back with pity, and seemed to breathe a sigh of relief: "This way, I will feel better."
If that Chi Mei was still alive, he would have easily captured her, tortured her to death, and avenged Xiao Luan.But if Qi Mei was not dead, Xiao Luan would not be taken out of the palace by Xue Yihou's mother, and they... might not have the chance to get acquainted.
Caught in a strange circle, he was annoyed why Meiren Qi died so early, and at the same time rejoiced that Meiren Qi didn't torture Xiaoluan for too long.
After Qingluan adjusted, he thought about the business, and began to persuade him solemnly: "Go back to Xianyang Palace to deal with political affairs, the state affairs are important."
"The widow may be busy these days. It's almost winter, and the people's life is not easy. The widow has to do the storage and adjustment of food, including the formulation of taxes for the coming year." Ying Zheng was a little helpless: "Be good, wait until things are settled. The widow will come to see you again. The widow will also stay with the token of leaving the palace, tell Xin Ping before you go, and he will notify the widow."
If it was in the past, Qingluan would have been happy and sent him away happily.But now... I don't know why, I feel a little lost.
"Well, I'll be good, you go."
After Ying Zheng left, she dressed up and ran to the garden to "show off her might".
Don't you all wait to see her joke?She simply stood up by herself and let them see enough.Just keep their mouths shut, and you can live a peaceful life for two days.
Sure enough, people cannot be subdued.If you lower your head first, there will definitely be many people who have fallen into trouble and will jump out to interfere.
Tian Meiren was still as timid as ever, when she saw the figure of Mrs. Han from a distance, she turned around and ran away with her children.
Good boy, fortunately the gate of Liangshan Palace was closed at that time, so she wasn't allowed in!If at that time she rushed in recklessly to ridicule her, and if Mrs. Han was released today, she would not know if she would see the sun tomorrow.
This Mrs. Han is really evil, I thought that her good life would be over after being rejected by the king and grounded.Who would have thought that the king would rush over to pamper her that night when the confinement was lifted!The honor and favor rose instead of falling, and the grounds and fines were just a joke between two people.
It's better to stay away, don't be caught by her in any wrong place.
The weather is getting colder, but Qingluan likes to stroll in the garden more and more.
She just likes to see those women who are gnashing their teeth with hatred, but have to respect her.Later, those concubines knew that they couldn't afford to offend them, so they could only hide and didn't come into the garden.
Qingluan felt that she had a new title: inspector of the palace garden.
With her here, who would dare to come out, a concubine with ghosts in her heart?
Mrs. Han, who was about to grow hairy in the palace, finally found something she was interested in: punishing "traitors" and eliminating "evil".
She can't deal with palace affairs, but she can keep the harem clean.
Since then, the three wives in the harem have performed their duties.Mrs. Mi is in charge of money, Mrs. Wang is in charge of the palace, and Mrs. Han... patrols the garden.
Ying Zheng went to the suburbs to inspect the people's conditions, and was not in the palace for many days.
Qingluan felt that it would be better to sleep alone, but it would be a bit cramped for two... But she dared not say this.
The last time she had time to think when she was grounded, she vaguely recalled that the awkward King Qin was clearly angry because of her pushing him out.
She can't do anything, she can only try to avoid this "reverse scale" of King Qin, and stop touching his bad luck.
While patrolling the garden that day, Qingluan had an unexpected harvest.
She, and, has, cat, gone!
From a long distance, he saw the young master Fusu holding a basket in his hand, talking to the eldest princess Yuanman behind the rockery.She was curious, so she withdrew the palace servants and went over to have a look.
"Mrs. Han..." Fusu felt a little embarrassed, and hid the basket behind his back.
"What are you hiding?" Qingluan poked her head out from behind the rockery: "The eldest princess can see it, but I can't? Don't be stingy, son, show it to me too..."
Fusu has read many books of sages and sages over the years, and the principles of father and son, monarch and minister have been deeply imprinted in his mind.It wasn't aimed at anyone, he avoided all the concubines of Ying Zheng.
Since ancient times, there have been many affairs between the young master and his father, concubines and concubines, and he has always avoided them on purpose.
Qingluan didn't think too much about it. In her opinion, except for the eldest princess who has matured, the other twenty or so children are all little/fart/kids who don't understand anything, including Fusu who is almost ten years old.
"Mrs. Han," Yuan Man recalled her mother's entrustment, and intentionally expressed her affection to her: "We are looking after cats."
"Cat? Where is it? Show me..."
She used to raise Orange Tuan'er in Xueyi Castle, but when she followed Bai Yifei back to Beijing, Orange Tuan'er was left behind in Xueyi Castle.Come to think of it, I haven't seen an orange ball for several years.Whether it is still alive or not is unknown.
Fusu twitched and carried the basket in front of him, and lifted the floral cloth covering the basket.Inside were three newly weaned kittens, curiously leaning on the edge of the bamboo basket and looking out.
"Ah!" Qingluan exclaimed, her heart melted at the sight of these fluffy little things: "Where did the cat come from? It's so cute..."
"Mrs. Hui, she is the cub under the big flower I raised."
Yuan Man added: "Big brother's big flower has given birth to cubs, but the palace can't keep so many. Mrs. Mi told him to keep one and send the rest of the cubs away."
"I wanted to ask my eldest sister if she wanted to raise her, so my wife came over..."
"Keeping cats is also very fun. When I was your age, I also raised one. It was called Orange Tuaner. Ah, it looks very similar to this one," Qingluan pointed to the most sought-after orange in the basket. He smiled and said, "Mine is very clingy. I didn't live in the palace at the time, and I was very lonely. It was the one who played with me."
Fu Su's thoughts moved slightly: "It is destined to be with you. Then, Mrs. Han, why don't you take it back and raise it?"
Mother said that if he didn't send these cats out today, he wouldn't have to go back... Fusu was still very scared...
By chance, Xingzi was obtained, and Yuanman got married in the previous dynasty
Do you have a cat?
It seems that there is nothing wrong with it.
Qingluan carefully pinched the nape of the little orange cat, and lifted it up, the cat, which was originally meowing uneasy, stopped.This kitten is very dexterous, its eyes are purring, and it is estimated that it will be a mischievous one when it grows up.
It's not exactly the same as Tangerine.Orange Tuan'er's four claws are all white, unlike this one, which is orange all over.
Under Fusu's earnest gaze, she finally made up her mind: "Then... I'll raise it."
Although she has already lost her salary for half a year, but... raising a cat with a dowry... shouldn't be too difficult...
Fusu heaved a sigh of relief, seeing Yuanman's tangled expression, said while the iron was hot: "Big sister, Mrs. Han has already raised them, so you should raise one too!"
There are two left in the basket, one raccoon and one orange.
The one with the raccoon flower looks better than the orange one, Yuanman thought for a long time, and picked up the little raccoon flower like Qingluan, and hugged her in his arms: "I want this."
Huh—two of them have already been given away, and it seems that they will not be kicked out by mother again today.Fusu's heart finally fell back into his stomach.
"Mrs. Han, what name do you want?" Yuan Man asked.
Qingluan thought for a while: "Well... let's call it Xingzi, it looks like an apricot."
Anyway, about the same color.
"It's a good name," Yuan Man played with his little raccoon paw for a while, and he had an idea in his mind: "I'll call this one Chestnut."
She has seen fried chestnuts bought on the street, which are similar in color to this one.
"There's only one left." Fusu was a little embarrassed: "Big sister, will you be willing to raise it?"
Yuan Man shook his head hastily: "Don't. The general's attack is not serious, it's easy to pinch the cat to death..."
"Then what should I do... If I don't send the cat out, my mother will drive me out of the palace."
Fusu's expression looked like Mrs. Mi was some kind of scourge that wanted to eat him.Although in Qingluan's view, Mrs. Mi was just scaring him.
But it's not convenient for her to say more about others controlling her own children.
"It should have just come to court at this moment, why don't you ask Mr. Changping? He is your uncle, and raising a cat shouldn't be a problem."
"That's right, my uncle is also going to court!" Yuan Man slapped his head, put the chestnuts back into the basket, dragged Fusu with his left hand, and Qingluan with his right hand, and ran towards the main hall for discussing politics.
Unfortunately, Mr. Changping took leave today and did not go to court.Mr. Chang Wen is a bit rough, how can he play with cats and dogs?Uncle Fusu's path is dead.
Yuanman accurately found his uncle, Wang Ben, among the ministers.
"Uncle!" Yuan Man stood by the pillar and waved to Wang Ben: "Come here!"
Wang Ben smiled, said goodbye to his colleagues and walked towards them.
Qingluan quickly recalled the details in the palace rules, um...just saying that concubines are not allowed to privately view foreign ministers.But she is not biased now!The Eldest Princess and Eldest Young Master were all present, there was a reason for the incident, no wonder she was there.
"Uncle, do you want to keep a cat?" She opened the curtain, took out the remaining orange and white cat, and held it up to Wang Ben: "This is the only one left."
Wang Ben waved his hand straight away: "No. You see that uncle seems to be patient in serving them? Leading the soldiers is very tiring, so don't find extra work for uncle."
"Then you can take it back to your cousin!" Yuan Man did not give up: "Uncle, you have been in the military camp all year round, your cousin must be very lonely!"
Lead troops?barracks?
Qingluan thought of what he had promised Wang Angeng before, and suddenly had a bold idea.
Fusu over there also followed suit
