The hottest summer has passed, and the north courtyard located in the most corner of the palace is more like the arrival of autumn, with fallen leaves everywhere.The smell of soup and medicine came from the room, the door was creaked open, Qian Shu took the broom and cleaned the scattered leaves on the ground into piles again.Today's day seems to be good, cloudless, especially refreshing.
"Your Majesty, come out and sit for a while?" Qian Shu turned her head and called softly to the people in the room.She brought a small stool from the corner of the yard, and when Concubine De came out, she asked her to sit against the wall. "It's a good day, it's good for the empress to come out to get some air." An outer shirt was draped over Concubine De's body, Qian Shu was busy, and brought out the boiled soup, blowing it carefully heat.
Concubine De saw these things in her eyes and did not speak, with a smile that could not fade from the corner of her lips.Sometimes, watching the people you care about is busy for you is really a very happy thing.Concubine De was weak, and You Qianshu took good care of her, and she recovered a lot compared to before.She gently tugged at the corner of Qianshu's clothes, and said softly, "I've been busy for so long, it's time to sit down and have a rest."
"Hey!" Qian Shu responded obediently, and squatted beside Concubine De with the soup. "Your Majesty, it's not good to be bored here all the time. If you're in better health, let's go to the Imperial Garden." The soup was already mild, and Qian Shu handed it to Concubine De, watching her drink all the medicine Lose.Then, he spread out his palm like a magic trick, and offered a pickled plum: "Niang Niang, hold this in your mouth, it can relieve bitterness."
Hearing this, Concubine De put the plum in her mouth.The faint sweet and sour taste spread out, and she narrowed her eyes, feeling a kind of sweetness that pierced her heart. "Qianshu, today is different from the past. Based on our identities, we shouldn't go to the Imperial Garden anymore. It would be bad if we bumped into the emperor. Now, I'm afraid we can only stay here to survive. Fortunately, we have you , it won't be too boring."
There was a touch of helplessness and sentimentality in Concubine De's words. Qian Shu looked up at her, and said cautiously, "Mother, do you regret entering the palace now? If you didn't enter the palace, you didn't become a concubine, you can stay in the palace." How can I be imprisoned here like I am now, with no freedom and even more loss of self. Empress, Qian Shu doesn't care where she is, but she feels sorry for her situation."
With a sigh, Concubine De put down the empty medicine bowl, and gently held Qian Shu's hand.When the warm temperature came, she put the back of her lightly comfortable hand against her cool cheek, and said, "How come I don't miss my life outside the palace? But, what's the use of regretting it? Marrying a royal family for one day, and being a royal for life Lose your freedom. All of this is life."
"If you were given a chance to regret it, do you still think it's fate?" A joyful voice came from outside the courtyard, and before Concubine De and Qian Shu could react, the courtyard door had already been pushed open. "Concubine De wants to leave the palace, now is a great opportunity." Accompanied by a chuckle, Ji Feiyan walked in lovingly, holding the arms of Su and Qingyao.They looked very close, even in front of Concubine De, who was also a concubine, they did not intend to hide a thing or two.
When the Empress arrived, Concubine De and Qian Shu were quite flattered.They stood up one after another, because they were too eager to move, and the bowls placed at their feet were accidentally kicked over. "The empress is auspicious, the concubine didn't know that the empress was coming, it's really..." Before he finished speaking, the courtyard door was closed by Concubine Jiyan.Su and Qingyao waved their hands at her, and said: "I came here this time not to ask you to pay my respects. Deep in the north courtyard, where do I need to salute? Concubine De, I came here today to ask you if you would like to leave the palace , live a common life outside the palace?"
Su and Qingyao never beat around the bush when they talked, they still had such a cold expression, but they talked about extremely exciting topics.After a dead silence, Qian Shu knelt down on the ground with a plop. "Empress, is what you said... true?" Facing the object of her admiration, Qian Shu was almost choked up and unable to speak.She never thought that she could leave the palace, let alone leave with Concubine De.
Concubine De was also the one who hadn't thought about this possibility.Because of Su and Qingyao's identities, she thought of possible temptations. "Empress, are you... serious?" Concubine De's clenched hands trembled slightly, and she prayed to God in her heart, hoping that what the Empress brought her was not a temptation.If everything is true, she and Qian Shu will be reborn, completely reborn.
"How can you be joking?" Su and Qingyao asked back.
Such simple four words sounded like salvation falling from the sky to Concubine De and Qian Shu's ears. "Really...really...really..." The two looked at each other at the same time, speechless with excitement.Ji Feiyan was anxious about this, she curled her lips and said, "Of course it's true, otherwise why would the two of us come here in person? If you want to leave the palace, you can give me a word! However, our ugly words can be said After leaving the palace, you can only be ordinary people, and if you want to come back, it will be impossible."
"No, no!" Qian Shu was afraid that they would regret it, so she waved her hands quickly, and said, "We will find a place to settle down after leaving the palace, and no matter how we live, we will never want to go back to the palace. I, I will serve my empress well. , won't let her be wronged in the slightest."
Qian Shu's words have already expressed the thoughts in Concubine De's heart. She looked at Su and Qingyao, and nodded slightly. The meaning in it had already been conveyed to Su and Qingyao. "In that case." Su and Qingyao pondered for a moment, and said, "I will give you some gold and silver jewelry, enough for you to buy a house to settle yourself in. Tomorrow morning, you two will change into court ladies' plain clothes, and leave the palace with my gold medal The concubines in the North Courtyard have a sad fate of indifference, and it is a good thing for you to leave here. After leaving the palace, try to live in a place far away from the capital, so as not to be discovered one day, and I will protect you from it." Said, Su He Qingyao took out the gold medal that he had prepared earlier, handed it to Concubine De, and said: "Take it, and if a guard asks, just say that it is the queen's order to go out of the palace to buy some folk goods. As for gold and silver jewelry and Clothes, someone will deliver them to you later."
Such a great kindness, how can a thank you be able to express it?While weeping with joy, Qian Shu bowed and bowed to Su, Qingyao and Ji Feiyan. "You two empresses, your great kindness, Qian Shu, will never be forgotten. If there is an afterlife, Qian Shu would like to be an ox and a horse, and repay the kindness of the two empresses."
"Empress, concubine Ji's sister. I... thank you." Concubine De moved her lips, but she couldn't express her gratitude.Su and Qingyao understood her, so they didn't say anything else, but instead helped Qian Shu who was kneeling on the ground, their words were still cold: "I can help you, but this is the only thing I can do. Get out of the palace and take care of yourself. You two are very prepared, we are inconvenient." Stay for a long time, then go back."
"The concubine sends the empress respectfully."
"The servants send the empress empress, concubine concubine concubine respectfully."
Behind him was Qian Shu and Concubine De's grateful farewell, and Su and Qingyao knew that this should be the last time they saw each other.After tomorrow, they will no longer have anything to do with the palace, nor will they have any contact with her. "Concubine, we should also go back and prepare. According to the emperor's temperament, I'm afraid we won't be able to leave for a few days, so we should start traveling." Taking advantage of walking in a hidden place, Su and Qingyao took Concubine Ji Yan hand, and sighed slightly: "I don't know whether I am right or wrong this time. Concubine, if there is a catastrophe, it's just that this feeling is too deep and unforgettable, and I can't compete with myself."
Hearing this, Concubine Jiyan laughed, her gaze was firm and far-reaching: "Don't worry, Qingyao, if you never recover, I will accompany you through mountains of swords and seas of fire."
"Your Majesty, come out and sit for a while?" Qian Shu turned her head and called softly to the people in the room.She brought a small stool from the corner of the yard, and when Concubine De came out, she asked her to sit against the wall. "It's a good day, it's good for the empress to come out to get some air."
