[Three Kingdoms] I am the queen of the Great Wei Dynasty
Chapter 28 The Revolving Lantern
Changan.
The willows are splashing white catkins all over the sky, floating lightly over the glazed tiles of the black wall, just like the snowflakes in the first month, which are scattered and indistinct, covering people's eyes looking up at the sky.
Tang Ling was staring at the Tumi revolving lantern in a daze in the bedroom, the flickering candle dazzled her mind, and the non-stop turning pages of paper shook her blurred vision.
Maid Shi Xiang sat on a small stool and sewed a sachet for her to pray for good luck and longevity. Seeing Tang Ling so bewildered, she could only slightly shake her head and sigh.
She has always known that this revolving lantern is a treasure that her young lady has brought with her since she entered the palace, and it is always hung on the wall beside the bed, reminiscent of the passing time.
"Niang Niang, do you want to go out for a walk to relieve boredom?" Seeing that Tang Ling has been depressed recently, Shi Xiang couldn't help suggesting.
She has always been a rather rigid and strict servant girl. Back then, Tang Si only let her enter the palace with Tang Ling, just to let her restrain her younger sister's manners, so as not to lose the Tian family's face.
But she was already Tang Ling's only companion in this lonely Han Palace, and the two of them actually had a feeling of being dependent on each other.
Tang Ling didn't answer her, but shook her head slightly to show her decline.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, Your Majesty is overjoyed!" Just as the master and servant were thinking about each other, a few court ladies in light blue skirts suddenly walked in clapping their hands, disrupting the originally peaceful and silent atmosphere.
As soon as they saw Tang Ling, they knelt down in unison, and praised: "Your Majesty has won the favor of Li Da Sima now, don't forget me as a servant in the future."
Tang Ling put down the revolving lantern in her hand, stood up puzzled and asked them: "What do you mean?"
A clever court lady raised her head to respond, and two elderly aunts in charge walked in outside the door, followed by a row of maids holding jade hairpins and agate jewels.They are all female officials with status in the palace, and they were so frightened that the laughing little palace ladies before could not help but bow their heads and dare not speak anymore.
When Tang Ling saw the nuns coming, she bowed politely and said, "The two aunts came to our palace suddenly, what is the reason?"
After returning the gift, the nuns signaled the maids behind them to present those shining jewels, and respectfully said: "The servants are here to present the bride as a dowry gift under the orders of Da Sima Li."
The more Tang Ling listened, the more confused she became. She didn't know what Li Jue's intention was when he came to give these jewels: "Betroth gift? What's the meaning?"
"Li Da Sima admires his mother's national beauty, beauty and extraordinary talents, so he wants to hire her to marry her."
"Is he crazy?" Tang Ling's eyes widened in shock, full of disbelief, "I am the concubine of the late emperor, how can I marry a minister?"
The leading nun said: "Xian Hongnong King has passed away long ago. Now that the empress is a widow, why not remarry?"
She actually called Liu Bian the King of Hongnong in a few words, which is disrespectful for a female official of the Han family.
Tang Ling was furious, and "bang" the jewels on the jade plate fell to the ground, the clear falling sound hit the eardrums of everyone present, and the atmosphere suddenly fell into a stalemate where time stood still, all the maids were not even in the air. Dare to come out, dare not look at this concubine Tang who is surrounded by anger.
"Presumptuous! This palace is the only concubine of the first emperor, and she is the supreme face of the Tian family. Then Li Jue is a rebellious minister and traitor who the people of the world can't wait to get and punish. He insulted your majesty and messed up the court, and now he wants to insult this palace. , he will die a terrible death! You shameless lackeys who betrayed a big man and worked for this thief will definitely be cast aside by the world!" Tang Ling was filled with unprecedented excitement and anger, and his eyes gleamed with hatred.
Everyone couldn't help sweating for her after hearing this scolding, but the nanny was unmoved, the expression on her face changed from respectful to stern, and she warned in a sharp voice: "Don Concubine, don't forget, you are just a poor useless concubine, if you dare to refuse Li Da Sima's kindness now, you have to think carefully about the consequences."
Tang Ling sneered and said: "Even if Bengong is desperate to die, he won't follow the thief's wishes. It's too much for mere dogs to worry about Bengong's affairs."
"You?" Now, the eyes of the two nuns are wide open with anger, and the brows of the snobbish old faces stand upright. Just as they were about to retort, Shi Xiang led a few maids and pushed them out of the door without refusal. Leave, the empress does not want to see you again."
Shi Xiang's rigid and serious face made Mammy not dare to make fun of herself any more, she could only give Tang Ling who was standing in the room a hard look: "Master Li will come in person, we will see if you dare not from!"
When there were no more noisy voices in her ears, Tang Ling slumped down in her chair, as if everything had nothing to do with her anymore, staring blankly at the revolving lantern, the shadow of the innocent Second Miss Tang in the past She was no longer visible.
Shi Xiang felt very uncomfortable. She accompanied Tang Ling to this Manman Han Palace for several years, but she never saw the same bright smile on her face as usual.
In the past, the carefree and free Miss Tang Er seemed that all the filth and troubles in the world could not stain her brows. She should have been cared for in the hands of the man she liked for the rest of her life.
But since she entered the deep palace, she has been abused at will.The only emperor who could be counted on was also poisoned by powerful officials. No one in this palace regarded her as a noble empress. Anyone could make her cry late at night secretly because she was wronged.Now being watched by that Li Jue again, thinking of this, Shi Xiang's throat was suddenly blocked, and his heart was filled with endless melancholy.
But Shi Xiang didn't dare to speak to disturb Tang Ling who was in a daze, and could only stand aside and watch her silently.
After a long time, Tang Ling tilted her head and began to mutter to herself, Shi Xiang recognized it for a long time before she heard clearly: "Why do you think he wanted to lure a wolf into the house for the sake of a tiger?"
"But I still like him a lot."
"I also know that he likes me, I know it. In fact, I know everything." She whispered over and over again, as if caught in an ancient bewilderment, unable to break free.
"But we'll never be together."
When Shi Xiang heard this, the tears in her eyes could no longer be held back, and a bitterness flowed from her lips to her heart.
She kept wiping away her tears while staring at Tang Ling, and saw Tang Ling bent her head over her desk and wrote a line of ink-black words. Shi Xiang turned her head to read it carefully. Silently read that line in my heart,
"Its rain is promiscuous, the river is deep and the water is deep, and the sunrise is careful."
The handwriting goes deep into the back of the paper, and every stroke and every stroke reveals a deep-rooted brushwork, which seems to be soaked in sorrow, but also faintly reveals unspeakable hatred.
miss what does that mean?Shi Xiang tried to guess Tang Ling's heart, but in vain.
She heard the young lady calling softly, it was actually a person's name.She thought she was calling herself to serve, and was about to agree, but after careful identification, she realized that the young lady was calling:
"Jia Wenhe."
Although Shi Xiang didn't know who Jia Wenhe was, Miss had been chanting this name in many night dreams in the past few years.
There was deep nostalgia in that voice, as well as strong unwillingness and pain.
Shi Xiang tried her best to recall the man whose surname was Jia as far as she knew, but she couldn't think of another maidservant besides Li Jue and Guo Si who was next to Shangshu Jia Xu.
Could it be that he is the one Miss Miss is thinking about?
Even though Shi Xiang didn't want to guess about Jia Xu who was causing trouble in the world, but seeing Tang Ling's depressed and sad appearance now, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and beg him to save Miss.
Before it was too late, she quickly went out quietly, and saw a few guards in full armor guarding the palace gate, patrolling the surrounding movements vigilantly, and staring at suspicious people with spears in their hands.
The high palace walls are hidden under a row of green willows fluttering in the wind, making the viewers daunting.
People trapped here will never be able to see what the sky outside looks like, even if they take a peek, it may be the price of their lives.
Shi Xiang could only bite the bullet and rush in front of the guards, trying to rush out while they didn't react, but when he stepped forward with one foot, he was immediately blocked by two cold painting halberds.
"Stop!" There was no trace of warmth in the cold Gaodao.
Shi Xiang's heart sank suddenly, she turned around and cried and begged: "My concubine Tang is seriously ill, please let me go out to find a doctor!"
"There is an imperial doctor in the palace, why do you need to go out of the palace without permission! Come back quickly!" The guard shouted at her sternly without any emotion on his face.
Shi Xiang thought of Tang Ling's sad appearance that was already on the verge of extinction, but now he couldn't break through the barrier to save her, and became even more desperate and anxious.
Since I am fortunate to be your servant, you are my only reliance, and I will repay you no matter what.
Thinking in her heart, Shi Xiang knelt down towards the guard with a "plop", her sobbing voice was so choked that she could barely speak.
"I beg - please, brother, my mother's illness - only a doctor outside can cure it."
The guards looked at her indifferently, and said impatiently: "Are you going back or not? Don't blame us for having no eyes with the sword in our hands."
Seeing that ruthless halberd was about to hit her back, a deep male voice suddenly sounded: "Stop."
The two guards immediately stopped their movements when they heard the words, put away their halberds, and respectfully saluted the man who suddenly appeared: "Jia Shangshu."
Jia Shangshu?
She quickly moved her eyes up to look at him. Although she was not sure, she could only gamble.
"I beg Lord Shangshu to save my Miss Tang Ling!" Shi Xiang hurriedly knelt down and begged, grabbing the corner of the man's robe in front of her.
Jia Xu knelt down and said softly, "Don't cry, what happened to your young lady."
Sure enough, it was him. "She, she was hired and forcibly married by Lord Li Jue, and she just wrote another poem, but the maidservant really didn't understand it." Shi Xiang's eyes were red and swollen like peaches, and she was out of breath from crying.
"I already know about this matter, so I came here specially. It's just what poem she wrote?"
"It's rainy and promiscuous, the river is deep and the water is deep, be careful at sunrise." Shi Xiang read to him according to the memory in his mind.
I don't want Jia Xu to lose color after listening to this poem, such a calm and self-possessed man trembles instantly.For a moment, he was in a state of confusion: "Take me to find her!"
The willows are splashing white catkins all over the sky, floating lightly over the glazed tiles of the black wall, just like the snowflakes in the first month, which are scattered and indistinct, covering people's eyes looking up at the sky.
Tang Ling was staring at the Tumi revolving lantern in a daze in the bedroom, the flickering candle dazzled her mind, and the non-stop turning pages of paper shook her blurred vision.
