Twilight GL

The Zichen Palace is the palace where the emperor handles government affairs and summons ministers. The palace is magnificent and majestic, with flying eaves and brackets, towering into the sky.

Compared with the solemnity of the Qianyuan Hall, the glazed tiles and white jade steps of the Zichen Hall, the pillars wrapped in gold foil, and the floor paved with precious stones are even more luxurious.

Under such a magnificent and luxurious palace, people will inevitably appear small.

The time has not yet passed, and the sun is still vicious.

Mingsu bent down a little sorely, but the queen looked at her in a strange way, suppressed and struggling, tenderly nostalgic, many emotions finally merged into hesitant to speak, just staring at her straightly.

Mingsu was puzzled, but felt that the gaze was a little familiar, thinking to himself, forgot to make a sound for a while, letting the queen look at her.

It was Yun Sang who saw that the situation was wrong, and gently reminded Zheng Mi behind him: "Your Majesty."

Zheng Mi was brought back to her senses by this sound, she smiled at Ming Su, regained her queen's elegance and calmness, and said gently: "Princess, excuse me."

Ming Su straightened up, looked at the door of the palace, and said, "Your Majesty is waiting for your father to summon you?"

Zheng Mi said, "Exactly."

Ming Su smiled faintly, raised his sleeves: "If that's the case, my son won't disturb you."

After saying that, he saluted and walked away.

Zheng Mi's heart froze, but she couldn't say anything to keep her, and could only watch her leave.Mingsu walked casually under the scorching sun, and she was followed by two servants, one of whom, Zheng Mi knew, served Mingsu by her side when she was ten years old, named Xuan Guo.

Zheng Mi looked at her back, frowned suddenly, and said loudly, "Princess, stay a step."

Hearing the sound, Mingsu turned around, with a bit of surprise on her face, but she had been in the court hall for several years, so she quickly concealed her surprise, walked back, and said naturally, "What orders does your empress have?"

Zheng Mi took the bamboo umbrella from Yun Sang's hand, handed it to her and said, "It's so hot, why didn't you bring an umbrella for the sun?"

Mingsu's physique is afraid of heat, and he is very afraid of heat. Once he is not taken care of well and the heat enters his body, he will have a headache and fever for several days, and feel uncomfortable for a long time.

Others will not talk about it, but this Xuanguo has served Mingsu for many years, so he is so lazy and neglectful that he doesn't even have an umbrella.

Zheng Mi felt that Ming Su was being perfunctory, and she was angry, but more sour. If in the past, she and Ming Su were on good terms, it would not be a problem for her to mention a few words to the palace servants around her, but now , if she opens her mouth, she will be overwhelmed.

She handed out the bamboo umbrella, but Mingsu didn't take it. He looked at her, and then at the umbrella in her hand.

She probably thought she was weird, or thought she was trying to please her.For a moment, Zheng Mi wanted to tell Ming Su who she was, but she dared not, she just kept smiling and said, "The summer heat is severe, if you don't open an umbrella, the princess will suffer from the heat. And Just use this palace."

As he spoke, he handed out the umbrella two inches to Mingsu.

This umbrella is made in the palace, with exquisite craftsmanship and exquisite materials. The umbrella surface is sunny after rain, and it looks fresh. The umbrella handle made of Polygonatum odoratum is cool to the touch.

Mingsu's eyes narrowed slightly, and his eyes turned from the umbrella to Zheng Mi's face, with a bit of probing in his eyes.Zheng Mi let her watch.

Mingsu lowered his gaze, chuckled, took the umbrella, handed it to the attendant behind him, and saluted, "Thank you, ma'am."

She finally accepted it, and Zheng Mi breathed a sigh of relief: "You're welcome."

This time Mingsu really left.

Zheng Mi still watched her go, but his reluctance gradually spread.They are in the same palace, but the inner garden of this deep palace is really too big, when will she see Mingsu next time.

Mingsu walked away, and the gaze behind him followed him directly, as if it were real.She felt it, frowned slightly, and didn't look back.

Walked straight through the section of road in front of the Zichen Palace, and turned into a palace road, that gaze couldn't catch up.Ming Su Fang stopped.

"This queen is a little suspicious." She said, "It seems to be too familiar." Especially at the beginning, the look in the eyes was not like meeting her for the first time, but like reuniting with her old friend, but she recalled carefully that she had never had any relationship with her. Over intersection.

Xuan Guo was holding an umbrella behind her, heard the words, and said with a smile: "Your Highness is deeply favored by the emperor now, who knows inside and outside the palace? The Empress Empress has been in trouble since she entered the palace. This helpless person wants to befriend His Highness. Within reason."

There is no other explanation.Mingsu nodded, and moved again.

On the other hand, Xuan Guo was holding the bamboo umbrella given by the Empress Empress, he glanced at the little servant beside him, and reprimanded: "It's a hot day, and you don't know how to bring an umbrella to cover the sun, and your Highness is ruined by the sun, can you afford it?"

He went to work for His Highness, but he didn't follow him all the time. Who would have thought that this screwdriver would serve him so carelessly.

The attendant also knew that he was negligent, and while walking quickly to keep up, he bowed to plead guilty and said: "The little one deserves to die, please forgive me, Your Highness."

Minsu didn't speak, and walked straight forward.

Xuan Guo looked at her expression, wondered what she was thinking, kicked the valet, and said: "Be more vigilant next time."

This is the past, the valet hurriedly said yes.

But Mingsu was not happy in her heart, and suddenly felt a little bored, and this boredom came from nowhere, lingering in her heart, making her feel depressed.

"Report to Concubine Mu. I will accompany her to have dinner at night." She ordered.

The near waiter said yes, and trotted to Concubine Shu's palace to deliver the message.

Ming Su continued to move forward and turned into the imperial garden. The trees gradually flourished, flowers and plants came into view, and the cicadas kept singing throughout the summer, which made her a little headache.

She suddenly recalled that many years ago, there was a summer day when the cicadas were singing, she was standing under a big tree, waiting for a...

"Your Highness, if you go further, you will find the Kunyu Hall." Xuan Guo reminded him aloud.

Mingsu suddenly came back to his senses, only then did he realize that she had unknowingly walked to the Kunyu Hall.She was startled, her heart suddenly felt sour, she lowered her head and smiled self-deprecatingly.

She understood where her boredom came from.It was from the empress giving an umbrella, and I remembered that there was a time many years ago, that person was also like this, holding an umbrella, chattering, it was hot, and if he caught the heat without an umbrella, His Highness would feel uncomfortable again.

As soon as Ming Su left, Zheng Mi felt that his heart was also empty, and he was panicked and had nowhere to go.

She is indeed quite different, she is much more restrained and arrogant, and she is not easy to get close to.She used to be very modest.Zheng Mi didn't think there was anything wrong with Mingsu today, but felt sorry for her changes.

What kind of experience does a person have to be like this, and his temperament will change drastically.

She had something on her mind, so she waited outside the hall, but she didn't suffer much.After a while, the door of the palace opened again, and this time it was the emperor who summoned the queen to see him.

The luxury inside the Zichen Hall is more luxurious than outside, every piece of furnishings is precious, and everywhere is extravagant.

When Zheng Mi was a child, he followed his aunt to Zichen Palace once. The Zichen Palace at that time was not like this, it was much more gentle and simple.

The emperor was leaning sideways on the soft couch under the window, and the basic memorials were scattered on the short table beside him, as if they had been thrown away. Hearing the sound, he looked over with a calm expression.

Zheng Mi made up her mind, made a big salute first, bowed down very solemnly, and said in her mouth: "My concubine respectfully wish Your Majesty peace."

"The queen is free." The emperor's voice came, majestic and deep.

Zheng Mi gritted her teeth. She thought of the tragic death of the Zheng family, and of her grandmother saying to her before she died, "Mi Er, you have to think about it. Living is much harder than dying."

She nodded and said, "Grandma, I've made up my mind, I want to live."

Grandma didn't speak any more, she just looked at her with pity.

On the second day, the grandmother hanged herself in the main hall of the Zheng Mansion with the female relatives of the He Mansion.She untied the body with her own hands, and begged the guards to take the body back, even if it was just a few straw mats.

But they let the corpse hang in the hall for three days, and after three days they dragged it to the mass grave and fed the corpse to wild animals.

The police are all following orders, she doesn't blame them, but she can't help but hate the person who gave the order.

"The concubine came to plead guilty to His Majesty." Zheng Mi heard her voice so calm, even full of remorse.

She suppressed the tears welling up and fell on the ground, afraid that the emperor would see the hatred in her eyes when she raised her head.

The emperor thought she was admitting her mistake respectfully, and looked at her with great interest: "Do you know your mistake?"

"The concubine knows it's wrong."

The emperor laughed, but couldn't tell what it meant, and said, "Get up."

Zheng Mi bowed again: "Thank you, Your Majesty." Fang was supported by Yun Sang to get up.

The emperor picked up this memorial from the low table and held it in his hand, saying: "Since you know your mistake, I will let it go."

Yun Sang was overjoyed, and Zheng Mi also took advantage of the situation to show joy. After thinking about it, he showed gratitude again, Fu leaned down and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your generosity."

The emperor seemed to have something to say, but seeing the gratitude on the queen's face, he suddenly lost the interest to speak, and said, "You step back."

Yun Sang was surprised, she never thought it would be so easy, His Majesty didn't even mention where the Empress Dowager was wrong.

After walking out of the hall, Zheng Mi took a deep breath, and after only staying in the hall for a short while, she felt very dull.

The phoenix chariot stopped at the bottom of the jade steps. She didn't want to go back immediately, so she waved away the palace servants, and walked away with only Yun Sang.

Yun Sang wanted to speak a few times, but seeing the Queen's expression was silent, she didn't seem to want to speak, so she swallowed the words back.

Zheng Mi knew what she wanted to ask, why the emperor punished him so mercilessly half a month ago, but now he forgave him so easily.

Zheng Mi still didn't know what the conflict between the emperor and Tangyu was, but he knew that it must be extremely serious, otherwise Tangyu would not have died.But she thought, the person who fought against him before, disregarded his emperor's honor, and never gave in, now not only admits his mistakes, but also appreciates his forgiveness, completely lost the previous fierceness, what would the emperor think?

It must be because of his lack of interest, as if he had punched the air with a fist, and he was not interested in talking to her any more.

In this way, the emperor's original interest in the empress' fierce temperament also disappeared, and he probably wouldn't pay too much attention to her in the future.

It's just that in this way, it is not known why the emperor and empress are arguing.

Zheng Mi didn't care about this for the time being, she was thinking about how to get in touch with the old case five years ago, and clear up the grievances of the Zheng family.

She thought about it for a while, but it was extremely difficult. The emperor did not neglect government affairs, and if he didn't believe her, he would never allow the harem to intervene in politics.She couldn't even go to the previous court, let alone contact court affairs and ministers.

But Zheng Mi was not discouraged, she changed her mind, maybe she could use the prince to fight for the heir.

Although she has no power or influence, her position is her greatest reliance. If the prince wants to dominate the East Palace, the queen's support is also extremely important.

Zheng Mi thought about it along this road. If he really wanted to get involved in the fight for the crown prince, would he choose the fifth prince or the third prince?

She knew a little about these two princes, but she didn't know how much the situation in the court had changed in the past five years.

The golden sun is fading to the west, and the heat is still there, but the light of the setting sun is much softer.

Zheng Mi was thinking while walking, and the scenery in front of him suddenly became familiar. The Kunyu Palace in the setting sun seemed to be covered with a layer of gentle light, and the golden glazed tiles in his memory softened in the afterglow of the setting sun.

It's here.

Zheng Mi was suddenly in a trance, and involuntarily stepped forward and stepped on the steps in front of the hall.

No one comes to the Kunyu Palace on a daily basis, only occasional banquets, and palace people come to clean up the banquets.As a result, weeds have grown on both sides of the steps, which actually makes people feel desolate and desolate.

Zheng Mi stepped up the steps, walked to the front of the hall door, and was about to push the door, when Ming Su's voice came from inside.

She was overjoyed at once, and then panicked, wondering what reason to go in, and what to say when she saw Mingsu.

Before she could figure it out, she heard the conversation inside.
