Article 521
At noon, the wind and rain gradually stopped, but the people in the entire palace began to panic, Qin Zhaorong was the concubine Xiao Tong who hanged himself three years ago, and he walked away in the imperial city, and it was not long before it was already spread in the market, two hours later, Prime Minister Ouyang Chi and Zhenguo Hou Du Tieyun rushed to the mouth of the 'Xuanwu Gate' when they heard the sound, but the guards of the 'Xuanwu Gate' did not let the two enter the palace on the grounds of the emperor's holy decree, and when the dispute continued, the chief manager Qin An was late, and a sentence of 'according to the emperor's command' made the two of them go back in a huff
However, at dusk, the imperial guards drove a carriage to the mansion of the 'Marquis of the Protector', and sent the maid Xiao Tong, who had also been missing for three years, to the mansion, and followed the guards to bring six gifts to the 'Marquis of the Protector' in the name of the 'Imperial Maiden', which is said to be the emperor's appointment ceremony for marrying Qin Zhaorong, but the number is equal to the queen's wedding that year.
Suddenly, the entire imperial capital was boiling, although everyone had a lot of controversy about the transformation of the soul, but the 'Protector Marquis' mansion was still full of people, and hundreds of officials came to congratulate and give gifts, and Du Tieyun's father and son could only hold a banquet and salute everyone one by one when they couldn't touch the north
At the banquet, Xiao Tong was dressed in brocade, with a cold smile on his delicate face, and his pure eyes looked at Twilight Tieyun and smiled at everyone, and he couldn't help but hold a small cup of 'Thousand Days of Drunkenness' to his lips, sipping it lightly, and tasting the bitterness in his throat
In the blink of an eye, three years later, I didn't want to sit in this place without the slightest hatred, and looked at this sudden but extremely strange banquet with a confused heart, and what was even more ridiculous was that my ears were full of those random speculations and discussions in the noise around me. Unexpectedly, he failed to attack and assassinate the emperor, and was imprisoned in the prison of the criminal department for more than half a year, and when he came out today, he heard that his young lady was not only not dead, but also re-accepted by the emperor as a concubine, and he was promoted to the imperial maid, and the twilight mansion was treated with the etiquette of a seven-grade royal maid
Closing his eyes, looking at the group of women who were eating excitedly on the table, he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, but the second lady of Twilight Tieyun, Hua Qinran, came over lightly, although the age of the, she still had a stunning smile and said: "Oh, Xiao Tong, why don't you even move your chopsticks?" Come on, come on, I'll toast you, and go back to the palace after today's dinner, but I want to mention more concubines to Zhaorong Niangniang."
Suddenly, the ladies at the table laughed, picked up their wine glasses, and said with a smile: "That's it, I didn't expect that Miss Dusk Erfu has a great life, and she can still set off half of the imperial capital after three years, I heard that there will be a draft girl in the palace in March next year, and then I will invite Zhaorong Niangniang to pay more attention to my family's Ru'er."
"Oh, and my family's Juan'er and Hong'er, Miss Xiao Tong, I can tell you, my family's Juan'er and Hong'er are well-known talented girls in the whole Beijing, Zhaorong Niangniang will definitely like it, although she is only fifteen years old, but as long as Zhaorong Niangniang speaks, presumably the emperor will definitely agree."
"It's just that there is also my family's Min Min, who has been proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting since he was a child, so he also has to invite Zhaorong Niangniang"
Xiao Tong twisted his eyebrows, but didn't say much, when he was bored, he couldn't help but pick up the back of the chair and sip the wine in his mouth, and got up and respectfully said to several dignitaries and dignitaries: "Ladies, Xiao Tong is not very drunk, lest he be ugly, so he will go down to rest, everyone use it slowly", said, and did not wait for the ladies who were still chirping to come back to their senses, they brushed their sleeves and went straight to the west wing, standing in the corridor of the lotus pond and breathing the cold air
"How did the girl get out?" In the darkness, a low voice sounded, Xiao Tong was slightly stunned, but saw Zhao Chuan flying down from the roof, standing in front of Xiao Tong, a black robe fluttering in the cold wind, and deep eyes staring at Xiao Tong's slightly pale complexion.
"It seems that I should have killed you directly, and today I can be clean for a long time" Xiao Tong didn't look back, so he said coldly, and then looked at the Xia Xuanyue that had risen, and couldn't help but say, "Can you stand up?" As he spoke, he turned his head and glanced at Zhao Chuan's legs. But the corners of his mouth were pursed with a touch of sarcasm, and he turned around and walked on the shore of the lake where the pond had gradually frozen, his eyes were full of coldness, and he sighed: "I heard that Hu Hai was killed by the emperor three years ago, if you want to avenge Concubine Xian, it is easy now."
Zhao Chuan's thick eyebrows moved, and a trace of sharpness flashed in his eyes, but then he disappeared, and his face was still cold: "Girl, if you destroy my hands and feet, I won't blame you, even if you really killed me with a sword, but Concubine Xian... She is as kind to me as a mountain, Ouyang Hongyu is not kind, whether it is Hu Hai's hand or Qinglan's hand, this account, I will only count it on Ouyang Hongyu's head", speaking of Ouyang Hongyu, Zhao Chuan's eyes couldn't help but show a cold light, and his big hand was clenched into a fist
Xiao Tong narrowed his eyelashes, but just chuckled lightly, and sighed: "It seems that Miss was good at the beginning, you are kind to Shangguan Wan'er... It's not the ordinary love of master and servant, it's just that I can't figure it out so far, since you like Shangguan Wan'er like this, why do you want to enter the palace to be a eunuch who is impossible to be qualified to like others in this life, instead of"
"Because Concubine Xian Niangniang loves the emperor", suddenly, Zhao Chuan interrupted Xiao Tong's words, his cold face had a trace of emotion, his eyes couldn't help but pin to other places, and he said in a reluctant voice: "When Concubine Xian Niangniang saved me, it coincided with the emperor's private visit to the Lingnan area, and at that time, I knew that Niangniang liked the emperor"|
Xiao Tong was stunned for a moment, as if she didn't expect that Shangguan Wan'er, who was so powerful, also had such an ordinary experience, she couldn't help but be a little curious, she looked at Zhao Chuan, and almost didn't give him any room to escape: "It's the first time I've heard about this, you might as well tell me about it", Shangguan Wan'er and the emperor, no matter how they are placed together, are a very incompatible pair.
Zhao Chuan's body was a little frozen, he looked at the woman standing in the moonlight, with a delicate and pure face, turned around and stepped into the darkness, and said in a deep voice: "Why don't you tell me the story of Concubine De and the emperor, compared to the virtuous concubine who has not been favored at all, I think Concubine De Niangniang is the master of tricks", everything three years ago, Zhao Chuan still remembers it clearly, and he went to the queen mother's order that day. When Ning Xue Palace handed the palace reward to Concubine De, Concubine De's words were shockingly calm, and to this day, looking at the world, I am afraid that only that woman knows what he thinks
Referring to her own young lady and the emperor, Xiao Tong's face couldn't help but be a little pale, she held her fair hand slightly, twisted her eyebrows lightly, and couldn't help but say with a little anger: "What do you know?" How can my young lady be compared with Shangguan Wan'er, a delicate woman? Shangguan Wan'er can be willful and selfish, and act recklessly, but my young lady... She has been limited by her fate at the beginning of her entry into the palace, no matter whether she is sincere to the emperor or not, the ending will not change, can Shangguan Wan'er compare with this? Saying that, Xiao Tong felt the slightest throbbing pain in her heart, her young lady, Concubine De of the Celestial Empire, has endured everything since the day she entered the palace, carrying everything, even if she likes someone, she doesn't dare to accompany those women in the harem, but she has to endure this even if she likes it, but she still has to keep resisting and constantly suffering, so no one can compare with her, they are not worthy
"I don't know what happened to Concubine De" Zhao Chuan pondered for a long time before he said slowly, but then he said: "But, girl, the bloody storm three years ago did start because of her, although Concubine Xian was also scheming, but she was defeated after all, I don't want to evaluate anything, but I only said that if the person who was favored by the emperor was a virtuous concubine, even if it was a concubine, it might not be able to take the harem...
"Wrong" Xiao Tong immediately interrupted Zhao Chuan, and then said with a cold look in his eyes: "Wrong, all wrong", but, then, Xiao Tong's eyes dimmed, and a few cold tears overflowed from the corners of his eyes, and then he only heard her slightly hoarse say: "What if... If the emperor hadn't been entangled with Miss Oh at the beginning, I should be living a life of wandering the world and living in seclusion in the mountains and forests with Miss now, we have already said it and have been ready, but... But", when he said this, Xiao Tong actually sobbed
If there weren't so many accidents, if Hu Hai hadn't come to assassinate Miss, if the emperor hadn't suspected Miss, if... Miss kept the imperial heir at that time, so, did they have their wish today, right?
Zhao Chuan was stunned by Xiao Tong's words, and looked at Xiao Tong who was crying with his lips covered in disbelief, 'Wandering the world, living in seclusion in the mountains and forests'... They, how could they? The pupils hidden in the darkness couldn't help but be confused, as if all the previous cognitions had been overturned, he slowly walked out of the darkness, wanting to comfort Xiao Tong, but he still froze in place, a little, he sighed, lifted his breath and flew onto the roof, and ran towards the backyard of the Dusk Mansion
The dark night gradually swallowed up the surrounding scenery, and on the cold lotus lakeside, Xiao Tong's crying was faint
Late at night, the guests up and down the twilight mansion gradually left, leaving only the room full of wolves, the maids in the mansion were busy running back and forth, and the small servants were sending off guests back and forth
The banquet has dispersed, the second lady of the twilight looked at the gifts piled up in the living room, and couldn't help but snort coldly, and then smiled and said to the twilight Tieyun who was sitting on the chair with a calm face: "Master, it seems that Xiao Tong, this girl, is really more capable than the concubine's Ci'er, and she can still make such a storm when she dies, hmph, the concubine is really envious of Yun'er's sister's blessing, and can give birth to such an outstanding daughter", Fang Shi pulled the silk handkerchief, then got up and walked to those brocade boxes, and picked up one of the largest ones, only to see that it was written: ' Congratulations on the joy of marrying a daughter, and the payment is: Ouyang Chi.
With another sneer, Fang took the brocade box in front of Du Tieyun, put it on the table, and said coquettishly: "Master, the prime minister has given gifts, you have said something, how can she bring this Xiao Tong back to life?" ”
Twilight Tieyun was already irritable, and when he heard Fang Clan's constant muttering in his ears, he frowned even more annoyedly, and then said with some majesty: "You can't say a few words?" If Ci'er becomes the queen in the future, you will be Mrs. Zhenguo, how can you be so ignorant? With that, Twilight Tieyun put down the tea bowl and got up and paced to the window.
"Mrs. Zhenguo?" Fang's eyebrows were raised, full of charm, the slender jade hand pulled the silk handkerchief, and a sneer overflowed from the corner of his mouth, and said: "Master, the position of Mrs. Zhenguo, the concubine has never thought about it, and now, Xiao Tong is back again, and the concubine body doesn't even have to think about it, hmph, the concubine has been with the master for more than 20 years, and now she hasn't even touched the position of the eldest lady, when Xiao Tong was a child, the lord only asked her to call me aunt, now"
"That's enough" Twilight Tieyun couldn't help but feel upset, he resold and looked at Fang's old but still charming face, a little soothing, but still said sternly: "Rong'er, Xiao Tong's life experience, others don't know, don't you know?" Besides, I'm invincible today, thanks to their mother and daughter? ”
Fang's eyelashes were lowered, but his tone was even more sour, remembering that he was also the first beauty in the imperial capital, and he could only serve the emperor at the age of fifteen, but he never thought that he would be suppressed by the Ouyang family, and then, after a hundred twists and turns, he married Du Tieyun, the funny thing is that she didn't expect her to marry a famous general with such a red face, and she could only be a second room, and even the eldest lady Su Yun'er died, she couldn't be promoted because of the first emperor's love for Su Yun'er, and now, That cheap woman gave birth to a daughter, and even robbed the emperor of her daughter's favor
Pursing her lips, Fang couldn't help but blush angrily, but she endured it and cried aggrievedly: "Yes, the concubine knows that the master's today is all bought by Sister Crisp sacrificing herself, but... But whether Xiao Tong is a princess or a courtier, I don't know at all, if she and the emperor are really ***, it is also a sin created by the first emperor, and it has nothing to do with the concubine", although Xiao Tong entered the palace at the beginning of the matter was instigated by Twilight Tieyun to do this, but at the beginning she just wanted to see how the ugly woman made a fool of herself, but she didn't want her to have the scenery she has today
Twilight Tieyun sighed, but a little guilt rose in his heart, and he said in a low voice: "Actually, if it wasn't for the Ouyang clan to provoke it, it must have been Yun'er... It should be a good result to cultivate with Emperor Dian, after all, the first emperor met Yun'er before me, and I am just a despicable villain who sits back and enjoys it" Thinking of the past, Twilight Tieyun thought of Su Yun'er's face that was very similar to Xiao Tong's, and he was also addicted to that stunning and touching and pitiful alluring city, if it weren't for the intervention of the first emperor, then he and Yun'er
"That's it, it's not too early, you should rest early" Unwilling to mention those irrelevant pasts, Du Tieyun's face was a little silent, he turned to the table, picked up the generous gift from Ouyang Chi, put it aside from the mountain of gifts, and then brushed his sleeves and walked out
Fang Shi looked at the growing figure of Twilight Tieyun disappearing into the night, his originally aggrieved eyes gradually became cold, he tightly pulled the silk handkerchief in his hand, gritted his teeth, and said hatefully: "If you die, you can still come out to make trouble, this time, I have to dismantle your bones and dismember."
