Chapter 803: resentment

Chapter 803 Enmity

Concubine Jing still lives in the side hall of Funing Hall. The doors of the main hall and the other half of the side hall are locked, and the vermilion lacquer doors are mottled.

It was a spring day, and the wind from the crack of the door was very cool, and weeds grew in the hall. A weasel poked its head out from behind the threshold, and when it saw a person, its eyeballs shrank back.

Lu Shi was also shocked, and the idea of ​​going to Yanjing City as soon as possible came into his mind.

The imperial palace is desolate like this.

The emperor lay in the Linde Palace for two or three years. In the harem, the empress died quietly. The former Concubine Zheng Rong and Concubine Ningde did not know whether they were dead or alive. After death, there is still a companion in the mausoleum.

Concubine Jing asked Xiang Chou to welcome her out. Seeing Cui Nanjia and Lu Shi rushing to say hello, she couldn't wait to look at Ah Tu who was in Cui Nanjia's arms, and she was very pleasantly surprised. , this is finally seen."

Concubine Jing stood under the eaves of the corridor, holding a string of small-leaf red sandalwood beads in her hand, which was smooth and slippery, with a layer of paste on the top, which could not be obtained in three to five years.

Seeing her grandson's well-maintained face, she smiled, as if she had never smiled so happily in her life, "You are finally back!"

Cui Nanjia wanted to greet Concubine Jing, but Concubine Jing hurriedly stopped him, "Don't talk about etiquette, there is no one else here, don't break the child."

After entering the palace, Ah Dou was put on the concubine’s arhat bed. She still respectfully kowtowed to her mother-in-law, and Mrs. Lu also saluted, but was stopped by concubine Jing, “Madam, don’t be polite to me!”

Concubine Jing is very rare, so he asked Xiang Chou to coax Concubine with sugar and cakes, maybe because of blood relationship, Concubine Jing soon called Concubine Jing's grandmother, and Concubine Jing had no relationship with Concubine Jing at all, Concubine Jing listened As he shouted, his eye circles were red with excitement.

"A-tu and the second prince were very similar when they were young." Concubine Jing was afraid of tying up the child, so she put the child on the ground, let Xiangchou spread a thick lichen in the hall, and let A-tu play on the ground.

Concubine Jing didn't know anything about the affairs outside the palace, and she had no one to inquire about, so she asked Cui Nanjia, "Why didn't the second prince come back with you?"

Cui Nanjia didn't want her mother-in-law to worry, so she smiled nonchalantly, "Your Highness is still busy on the river, thinking that Ah Dou is already two years old, and mother has never seen it before, so I asked my daughter-in-law to bring Ah Dou back for my mother to see. "

Concubine Jing could see the worry that flashed in Cui Nanjia's eyes, she kept her composure, and left Lushi and Cui Nanjia after lunch before letting Xiangchou send them out.

Xiang Chou personally sent the grandparents and grandson to the gate of the palace. When she came back, she saw the empress kneeling in the small Buddhist hall. Now the empress is no longer taboo to offer incense to the empress Zhaoyang. Help the empress to get up.

Concubine Jing stood at the gate of the hall, and the entire harem was so silent that it seemed that she was the only living person.

There is no reason, Cui will not come back with the child alone, Xiao Changyao is the prince, no matter how busy the political affairs are, he will not even have time to return to the capital, how far is Xuzhou from here?

Concubine Jing was very worried, but she didn't know who to ask?

Cui Nanjia's entry into the palace, Lu Yan would not be ignorant. He sat in the study of Huangji Palace, finished the last memorial, leaned on the back of the chair, and rubbed the center of his eyebrows.

Sesame came over, exchanged a cup of cold tea, and said in a low voice, "Your Highness, the second concubine didn't tell the concubine Jing about the fact that the second prince fell into Chen Min's hands. The concubine must have guessed something."

Lu Yan hummed, in the harem, there are quite a few concubines with status, but only one concubine Jing received the courtesy.

Lu Yan had no obligation to help the emperor raise his concubines, so he was too lazy to deal with those concubines. Some concubines were so poor that they sold their jewelry and made a living by doing embroidery.

Thinking that these palace people will be dealt with, Lu Yan thought for a while and said, "Go and tell Concubine Jing whether you want to follow Cui Shi to Yanjing Mansion, and if you leave, pack up your things."

When Concubine Jing heard this, she was stunned. She never dreamed that there would be a day when she would leave the palace. What did the Supervisor of Rituals mean, that she was going to be supported by her son?

Concubine Jing knows that this is Lu Yan's care for her. As long as she leaves the palace, she can follow her daughter-in-law to Yanjing Mansion, and after leaving the palace, she can know the whereabouts of her son.

It's just that she looked at Linde Hall, that person is not dead yet, the empress's son has not ascended the throne yet, she can't leave, she wants to stay here, and tell the emperor that the person who died in the fire was not the empress empress.

Sesame saw a flash of hope in her eyes, but her eyes dimmed again, and shook her head, "Please help and thank Mr. Lu, but I haven't left yet. When the emperor dies, please help Mr. Lu again." I fight for this opportunity."

Cui Nanjia never thought that her mother-in-law would not leave. She went to the palace to persuade her twice, but her mother-in-law insisted on refusing to leave, saying that it was not time to leave.

In this way, there was a delay of two days. When she came out of the palace, the Cui family took her and Ah Tu to the Yanjing mansion. They rushed on the way, so they should be able to catch up with Linghua's wedding.

On the day she left, Concubine Jing brought a few attendants with her, packed her soft suitcases into a dozen or so carriages, came out from the palace to see off Cui Nanjia's mother and son, and gave Cui Nanjia all the belongings she had accumulated all her life , Let her take it to Yanjing City.

Standing at the gate of Xihua Gate, Concubine Jing turned her head to look at the palace wall and the bottomless Yongxiang. She seemed to see the distorted face that was burnt in the fire that day, very much like the face of Queen Zhaoyang .

Tears gradually welled up in her eyes. She has lived in the palace for most of her life, but she didn't know that the palace looked like this from the outside. But she didn't regret staying in the palace at all, and identified the person who was burned to death in the fire as the empress.

Regardless of whether the empress is alive or has passed away, I have been blessing her and her child, and they are safe to this day.

The Linshui Hall has been transformed into the Princess Mansion, which is the same as the Prince's Mansion, with five rooms at the main entrance, three rooms at the open gate, seven rooms at the main hall, nine rooms at each wing, five rooms at the back hall, seven rooms at the back bedroom, and seven rooms at the back building. between.

There are two big stone lions on the left and right in front of the main entrance, and the plaque of "Princess Linghua's Mansion" is hung on the lintel, and there are five inverted rooms on each side.

Xie Zhiwei took Linghua to see her princess mansion. Entering from the main entrance, carved railings and painted buildings, pavilions, rockery trees, flowers and trees, everything is carefully designed, and every place can become a scene.

Linghua only took a look at the main hall, worried that Xie Zhiwei was tired from walking, so she said, "Sister-in-law, it's already fine, wait until another day, when you're done with your work, come to my place, and I'll take you to take a closer look."

Xie Zhiwei was also very satisfied after seeing it. Standing under the eaves of the main hall, she watched a new green flowers and plants emerge in the yard, "Sister Linghua, although the older generation has grievances and grievances with the older generation, it has nothing to do with our generation. relationship, but how could it not be?"

She turned around and looked at Linghua, "I'm not begging for sister Linghua's forgiveness, nor is I trying to separate the relationship, I and His Highness are married, and what His Highness has done is the same as what I have done, However, I still hope that Linghua sister can be happy, as the empress once expected."
