Cold Palace’s Abandoned Consort

Pei Yuanzhang wanted to name Nangong Lizhu as a concubine.

I'm not surprised by this news. Shen Rou fell down, her position must be replaced by someone, and this concubine above 10,000 people in the harem, besides Nangong Lizhu, who else can sit? ?

Speaking of which, I do understand a bit, why Mingzhu didn't dare to tell Chang Qing the reason.

Nangong Lizhu ’s status in the emperor ’s heart, as long as anyone in the harem has a pair of eyes can see that Shen Rou can be equal with her in these years, but relying on the power of Shen Gongzhen, now the Shen family is down The imperial concubine could not be treated, and the news that Nangong Lizhu was sealed as a concubine immediately came out. It can be seen that Pei Yuanzhang was very fond of her.

However, Pearl came to me ...

Is it because she saw the emperor's care for me these days, or because of the terrace of the Royal Garden, she thought that I had some weight to the emperor, and thought that I could compete with Nangong Lizhu in front of the emperor?

Thinking of this, I smiled slightly.

He struggled to hug Xiaonian in his arms, patted his back, and whispered, "Oh ... baby doesn't cry, don't cry, don't cry ..."

The sound of Nianyun crying is not big, but it is not easy to coax. No matter how I shake him gently, pat his back, or still struggle to cry in my arms, my face turned red.

"Don't cry or cry ..."

I listened to his weak cry like a kitten sobbing, and I couldn't help but feel a distress, leaning my head to carefully press his cheek against his cheek, and kissed him finely.

I remember someone told me that the child's most craving is the feeling of ironing the skin, almost hungry craving, because such a touch will make him feel loved and protected. And read well-Shen Rou is afraid that there will be no such leisurely caresses to touch his child; Pei Yuanzhang, there is no more time; although Pearl is still dedicated to him, after all, she is not a mother and has no children, I won't appreciate the feeling of licking calves.

I do n’t know if I ’m tired of crying, or if such a stroke really works, the cry of Nianyun slowly went down, and finally stopped, and there were tears on my chubby face, and he looked at me with sobbing .

I carefully wiped his tears with my thumb and patted him with my arms.

The child didn't seem to respond to any sounds and colors from the outside. He just looked at me and felt as if he were going to print the outline of the person. After a while, his little mouth widened and beat A big yawn.

I hugged him again for a while before carefully returning to the cradle.

Waiting for the child to lie down and sleep, I looked up and looked at the pearl that had been looking at me, and said, "What do you want me to do?"

Mingzhu was busy: "Master Yue, I know that this request is too much, the concubine had treated you like that-but, I really can't help it. Lord Yue, could you please tell the emperor to let you raise the second prince?"

"I?"

"Yes, yes." She nodded incessantly: "Master Yue, please look after the child's innocence and help him. Just keep his life."

Keep him alive?

I looked down at the ignorant child who was asleep in the cradle, and with a little open mouth, a saliva flowed down. Who can bear such a small life with such an ignorant and innocent child?

However, in this palace, only children who are more innocent and harmless than him will die unclearly.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but grit my teeth.

Ming Zhu looked at me with a bad expression and didn't know what I thought about, and said carefully: "Master Yue ...?"

I turned to look at her and slowly said, "You are so dedicated to this child. It seems that you are loyal to Shen Rou."

She froze, and suddenly blushed, lowering her head and whispering softly, "Master Yue, don't make fun of me. I ... if I was true, I wouldn't come to you at first."

"then you--"

"My lord, the human heart is full of flesh. The second prince was born when I carried it. To say a bit more, I, too, treat him as a piece of flesh on my body. Moreover, as a child, I really can't bear it ... "

Watching her rubbing red eyes, I was silent.

Yes, everyone has it.

But why, why some people just don't!

Mingzhu kept looking at me, and when I didn't speak, she became more and more anxious: "Master Yue ...?"

"You let me think about it."

"grown ups."

I can understand her eagerness. Now she is totally treating me as a life-saving straw, but I will not faint, and calmly said, "Don't forget, after Shen Guifei fell, Li Fei Who is the person you hate the most? "

"..." Mingzhu stopped suddenly.

When Shen Rou fell, Nangong Lizhu's eyes were nailed to me. Although maybe these days she wanted to confine the concubine, so she didn't want to make extravagant branches, but to me, she couldn't have no hate, especially in the rejection of the horse valley "Stop dying", sooner or later, she will start. This child is more sinister beside me, and it is even more sinister to keep him.

Although I am not a bad person, I am not a fool.

At this moment, Shuixiu's voice came from outside. Mingzhu immediately shut her mouth vigilantly, and heard the door knocking. Suixiu stood outside the door and said, "Sir, are you there?"

"Well, Shuei, I'm here."

"The father-in-law has given the sign over, and we're going."

"it is good."

I stood up, looked at the child again, and slowly walked out. Mingzhu still couldn't agree to follow up until I opened the door. Shuixiu seemed to be a little worried. When I saw Mingzhu, Immediately, a displeased expression appeared on her face, but she saluted her, and said lazily, "Choose a servant, and be courteous."

Mingzhu couldn't even bother her and looked at me: "Master ..."

I turned to her and said, "I will take this to heart."

"..."

"Take care of Your Highness."

"..."

"Don't talk to outsiders about this."

"……Yes."

When Mingzhu heard me say that, it was like a drowning man grabbed the straw for help, nodded in a hurry, I sighed, and went out with Suixiu, walked to the door, and saw her standing in the house. At the door, looked helplessly at us.

Shui Xiu lowered her mouth slightly and said, "Sir, she can find you. What can I do?"

I just sighed in my heart: "It's okay. Let's go."

"Oh."

.

After receiving the sign of the father-in-law, we went out of the palace gate.

Sitting on the carriage rickety, slowly listening to the originally quiet surroundings become lively, seems to have entered the bustling street, there are hawkers hawking from some hawkers on both sides, people coming and going to say hello, and horseshoe On the ground, the sound of wheels rolling across the lane.

The curtains also wobbled with the carriage, faintly seeing people outside.

Shui Xiu sat by the window, looked outside from time to time, then hummed and tightened the curtain.

Looking at the temperament of a child like her, I couldn't help but smile: "He didn't offend you again."

"It's annoying to see that dead face."

What Shui Xiu said was not others, but a guard named Du Yan who went out with us this time and went out with us.

This man is not very old, but in his twenties, he looks extremely positive, just a serious expression with an unsmiling expression on his face, as if he is beside a god, it is really uncomfortable. Actually, when I was out of the palace, Pei Yuanzhang naturally arranged for other people to follow me. I was too lazy to guess and watch too, but this person followed me in plain sight. I didn't care about him and had nothing to say. Only Xiao Fuzi, who is responsible for catching the bus, is smart and afraid of getting cold. He talks to him from time to time and asks ten questions. It is good for Du Yan to answer one sentence, but it will not exceed three words.

Seeing this, Shui Xiu was even more wrong with this person, and he glared at him along the way.

The carriage waddled for a while, then stopped, and Xiao Fuzi whispered outside: "Girl, this is it."

When I heard it, I moved over and raised the curtain, and saw that Du Yan was turning over from the horse's back, and when he got off the horse, he immediately saw a door shop on the street, with four doors opening, and a big sign on the door— Dulaikan.

Come over ...

I meditated on these two words in my heart, and said nothing. Xiao Fuzi had carefully opened the curtain to help me down. As soon as I stood still, he turned back to pick up the water show, and the girl squatted on the car. One hand waved away: "I'll do it myself."

After speaking, he jumped down from above.

Because she was useless, a coward almost planted a dog to eat shit. I hurried to reach out to help her, but saw a flash of people around me. Du Yan stepped forward and was planted in his arms.

Suixiu bumped his head against his solid chest, and everyone bumped. He raised his head and looked at him stupidly. The next moment, he pushed him away as if he had been scalded: "What are you doing?"

Du Yan was pushed back by her two steps, and gave her a slight glance, but did not speak.

Xiaofuzi hurried forward: "Shuixiu, are you okay? Didn't you fall?"

Shui Xiu rubbed his ankle, muttered his mouth and didn't speak, Xiao Fuzi hurriedly helped her and rubbed her: "Is it all right? Lame? Is it still painful? Would you like to sit down and rest?"

"It's okay, don't you scorpion scorpion."

"That's good." Xiao Fuzi smiled relievedly, then looked back at Du Yan, who was always standing with a cold face, accompanied the laughter: "I just thank you."

Du Yan glanced at him: "Not you."

Meaning, it's not you who saved, you don't need to thank.

Xiao Fuzi froze for a moment, and was so speechless that he could not speak. Upon hearing this, Shui Xiu immediately carried him behind him: "What do you say? I didn't ask you for help."

"..." Du Yan glanced at her again and closed her mouth.

I watched by me, somehow like watching a movie, but Xiao Fuzi looked back at me with a smirk-like expression on his face, and smiled happily: "Master, it's all right. This is the place, let's go in."

I smirked and turned and walked towards the "dulaiguan".

.

The door of this shop is not very big, but it is well packed inside. The assortment of goods on the shelves are mostly unseen. Even if it is commonly used, the styles are different from those usually seen, which is completely different. . As soon as Shui Xiu came in, she looked stupid, and her eyes couldn't be turned away because she was attracted by the moving man in the small box.

I walked slowly and watched.

The things inside are not cheap, and there are not many customers in the store. Most of them come to see it fresh. A guy behind the counter was sitting lazily until he saw a few of us in bright clothes, eyes Yi Liang, hurriedly came up to accompany the laughter: "Several guests, please look at it casually."

I glanced at him and smiled slightly: "It seems that you don't see much here."

"Yeah, all the things we cross here are from the sea."

"Oh? Which country?"

"Flemish nation."

I laughed: "Then you have the boss of the france."

The guy laughed with companionship: "That's it."

"Can I meet your boss?"

This guy was a clever guy. From the moment I came in, I saw that our identities are not simple. I wasn't surprised to hear that, but just laughed and said, "It wasn't difficult. The boss is meeting inside. "

"What guest? So important?"

"Oh, this little one doesn't know."

"Since you don't know, please help."

I directly felt a piece of silver and handed it over. The guy saw it, smiled, took it and shoved it in his sleeve, and said, "Guests, please wait a moment." After that, he turned and opened the curtain on that side and walked in. .

At this moment, Shui Xiu came over and whispered, "Master--"

I glanced at her, and she changed her mouth immediately: "Girl, who do you say their boss is?"

I haven't spoken yet, Xiao Fuzi has gathered up and whispered: "That boss, can say our words, but looks strange, like a monkey."

"Monkey? How can a man look like a monkey?"

"Really."

"Haha, what does that look like!"

I frowned, and said, "Under the eaves, don't talk about the length of people."

When Xiaofuzi heard it, he immediately shut his mouth and carefully stepped aside, but Shui Xiu became more and more energetic, staring at the curtain with a sharp look, and soon he heard a heavy footstep coming from it. Only white and thick hands reached over and opened the curtain.

A man in satin came out of it.

This person is very tall, almost taller than anyone I've met, and looks very strange. Obviously, the facial features are still the same, and the eyes, ears, nose, and nose are the same. But it seems that the people you see in peacetime are a little different. His profile was extremely deep, as if cut with a knife and axe, and his eyes were deeply sunken, but his nose was very tall, and his slightly curly hair turned out to be golden, tied with a scorpion tail behind his head.

If such people appear in the bizarre, I'm afraid they are all monsters.

Because of this weird appearance, I can't see his age, I can only guess that it is about 40 or 50 years old.

Shui Xiu's eyes were widened, and he did not blink when he looked at him.

The guy came along with that guy, and whispered something to him, this golden-haired man came towards me, smiled and saluted, and said, "Hi, guest."

I couldn't react for a moment, and after a moment of stun, I slowly said, "I'm disturbed."

I thought that such a foreigner should have some accents, but he didn't expect him to speak very smoothly, but he could hardly hear anything, and it seemed that he was already familiar with everything here.

"Are you looking for me?"

"Some things, I want to inquire with the boss. Take the liberty, please don't blame me."

"No strange, no strange." He smiled and waved his hand. "It's a coincidence that so many people are coming to inquire today."

"Oh?"

I frowned slightly--so, the guy just said that he was meeting a guest and was here to inquire about the news.

Who is it

I subconsciously looked at the door curtain, but faintly saw a figure slowly came over, as if stunned, and finally reached out and opened the curtain.

A familiar face appeared before him--

Liu Qinghan! ?

When I saw the thin and pale face, I was stunned, looked at him stupidly, and he looked at me with a little surprise: "Light? Is it really you?"

All of the people in this shop froze for a while. Xiao Fuzi and Shui Xiu were so surprised that they couldn't speak with their mouths open. Only Du Yan, who was stubborn, stood at the door, watching us silently .

.

Until I walked into the inner room on the other side of the curtain, I was still a bit lost, and stared at Qing Han sitting on the other side of the table, feeling only as if dreaming.

However, he in the dream is not as good as he is now.

Maybe it was because of the previous injury, he was much thinner, but he looked more distinct. The eyes that were originally clear were faint, and there was some tired blood in it. When he looked at me with a smile, it was still the same as in a dream Gentleness.

"How did you come here?"

"How did you come here?"

Two people spoke at the same time, but they said the same thing, and I both hesitated.

I coughed softly and whispered, "I heard that there are foreigners here, so I'd like to inquire about the south side."

He glanced at me slightly widened, but it was a little stunned: "The teacher also said, let me inquire about the South with foreign goods."

Fu Bazhen?

What flashed in my mind: "He also heard that there are foreign goods stores here, so let you come over?"

"No, the teacher inquired. Where can I find foreign goods stores? I heard that this is the only one in Beijing, so let me ask."

"Oh……"

When I heard this sentence, I knew it.

Next, I didn't speak again, and there was no light cold, and the room was silent for a moment.

It ’s also very quiet outside the store. I do n’t know if it ’s because Shueixiu stayed outside and did n’t speak, or I did n’t want to hear any other sounds. I just felt that the surroundings were very quiet. Only the person ’s breathing, heartbeat, The movements of Fen listened so clearly and reflected in their eyes.

"you--"

"you--"

After a while, two people spoke at the same time.

He paused, closed his lips and looked at me, and I said gently, "You've lost a lot of weight."

He reached out and touched his chin, and smiled lightly: "There are many things. Many things."

With only four words, I have exhausted all these days. I watched him silently, but he looked at me again: "What about you?"

"I?"

"I--" He paused, and said, "I heard that the other day, the emperor repaired a terrace in the Royal Garden exactly like Jixian Temple."

My breath couldn't help but suffocate.

He knows.

I'm not worried about anything else, just that he will think wildly. He was hesitant at that time under the cliff, just because of Pei Yuanxiu who was not in front of him. Now Pei Yuanzhang told me like this, outside the palace. ,he--

Thinking of this, I hurriedly looked up to explain to him, but met his eyes.

Calm, without a hesitant eye, such indifferent eyes made me feel relieved at once, I thought for a while, and said, "Have you heard of this? What else have you heard?"

"I also heard--"

He looked at me and slowly said, word by word: "Being together is easy, and my heart is the same."

My heart beat and I looked up at him.

He was still so calm, his eyes were soft and indifferent, but there was a touch of ignorance on the corner of his mouth, it seemed that only the closest person could see the clear smile, and I knew everything for a while.

The two sentences that I said to Nian Shen that day were actually addressed to Chang Qing, but I didn't expect that this child was so honest that it was originally passed on to him, and he understood all of them.

Suddenly, I just felt a fever in my chest, and the feeling of swelling made my heart pounding. I didn't know what to say and what to do. I almost wanted to reach out and hold his hand.

But at this moment, the curtain behind him was opened.

The blond-haired boss came in holding two cups and smiled before us: "Two distinguished guests, please use them."

I can only retract my hand and pinch the corner of the dress, trying to calm myself down. Although it was an unexpected joy to see him here, at this time, this place is really not a good place to sue each other, so I lowered my head to look inside the cup, exuding a rich milk taste, and it seemed like Some tea fragrance, the man smiled and said, "This is the tea we usually use, two distinguished guests taste."

I took the cup and tasted it. I only felt that milk was not like milk, and tea was not like tea. It tasted strange, but I swallowed it and smiled. "Thank you."

Qing Han also took a sip, and he wasn't as calm as I was. The weird smell made him almost spit out.

Seeing that he tried to swallow himself, and his nose became red, I couldn't help laughing, and I was afraid that the boss would be embarrassed, so he said, "Boss, I am here today."

The man smiled and said, "Guests don't have to see this way. My name is too difficult for you to read. No one has pronounced it correctly in these years. Southerners often call me a ghost. When I come to Beijing, I simply I call myself Uncle Ghost. I don't think the two guests are very old. If you don't mind, just call me Uncle Ghost. "

Uncle Gui, the name is interesting.

It seems that this person is also a free-spirited person, and I smiled, "Well, I'm also not polite to you. Uncle Gui, I'm surnamed Yue, and today I came to the museum, I want to ask you something."

"Girl Yue has something to ask."

"How long has Uncle Gui come to do business in Heaven?"

"In counts ... for more than two decades."

"Oh."

For more than two decades, a small half of his life has been here, and it is no wonder that he is so proficient in our language and very knowledgeable about human beings.

But what I care about is not this, but-

For more than twenty years, that is to say, more than twenty years ago, he had begun to do business in the heavenly dynasty, to be precise, in the south.

I held the cup in both hands, the temperature of the hot tea soup ironed my cold fingers, and I slowly said, "So, is there any other goods in the business that Uncle Ghost does besides the fresh stuff outside?"

Uncle Gui looked at me: "Girl Yue asked—"

"For example-iron."

Hearing the words "ironware", Uncle Gui's face changed slightly, not like panic, but just like a momentary loss of mind that suddenly remembered something, but he quickly recovered, and said with a smile: "Two Are you here to inquire about this because of things in the south? "

My heart moved.

Although this man seemed to be smiling, it is indeed a person who has run the sea for more than 20 years. His eyes are like a torch, and he can immediately think of the civil unrest in the south from one of our problems. It seems that even if those weapons were not sold by him, they could not be separated from him.

I smiled and said, "Uncle Ghost knows a lot."

Qing Han stared at him with a burning gaze: "Since the uncle Gui talked about the South as soon as he spoke, presumably, he was also involved."

Uncle Ghost looked at us and waved with a smile, and said, "Two of you, you have misunderstood."

"Oh?"

Uncle Gui said with a smile: "Your ordinance prohibits the mining of iron ore without permission. Your emperor's jurisdiction over weapons is very strict. Since this is the case, why would you touch the emperor's inverse scale to do this kind of business? What about? "

Qing Han and I looked at each other.

His words are true.

He seems to be really the first foreigner to come to Beijing to do business. Naturally, he must be more cautious at the foot of the emperor. If he is really involved in the affairs of the south, he will come here to die.

Qinghan and I could not help but frowned.

At this time, Uncle Gui said: "However, although I don't do it, others will do it."

As soon as we heard it, we were suddenly stunned and looked at him in a hurry: "Who?"

Uncle Ghost looked at the two of us, but hesitated a bit. Qing Han immediately understood it and smiled and said to him, "Don't worry about Uncle Ghost. People in the government department will naturally take you to the door to ask. Since we are Come to your door, that's just a passer-by to inquire about the news, even if you have heard it. "

He was ambiguous, but he also gave a hint to the uncle.

Actually want to come, as soon as I entered the door, the uncle Gui should see that my identity is not ordinary, and even if the official Miss Guan goes out, I ca n’t bring so many followers, plus we ask questions about the south and weapons. In addition to the people of the court, who else has such courage.

Uncle Gui carefully looked at me, and then looked at him, for a while, and finally said slowly, "Well, let me tell you."

I hurriedly said, "Who sold them the weapons from the south?"
