"Farewell Branch" 25/ The lychee is very sweet and the pink-clothed palace maid walked forward with her head down, seeing that she passed through several palace roads, the more she went inside, the more strict it became.Fu Mingsong's footsteps slowed down hesitantly: "Where is this going?"
”When the palace maid saw that she noticed it, she didn't hide it, her face changed from a panicked appearance, and she calmly lowered her eyes and replied: "If you go back to the fifth girl, go to Jingyang Palace this way, the emperor wants to see you." ”Fu Mingsong stopped suddenly, his brows jumped fiercely, and he looked at the palace maid who spoke in disbelief: "Your Majesty?
”Her frightened eyes subconsciously widened, and the slightly reddened underneath of her eyes was pitiful.At this moment, the palace maid stopped her steps and arched her back straight: "Come in, girl, the emperor is waiting inside." ”The door of Jingyang Palace was open, and there were palace maids and eunuchs in it who were sprinkling and repairing flowers, each performing their duties, and they were extremely serious, and there was no desertion.But they all glanced at the people outside the door a few times, and they all mourned silently for this person in their hearts.Others don't know, but they are already not surprised by those who are waiting in Jingyang Palace.Except for the Queen Mother and the palace people who waited, most of the women who entered the gate of Jingyang Palace did not end well.It's just that I don't know which girl's family this is, how she offended the emperor, and it's really unlucky.Ming Song stood outside the red lacquer threshold, his legs seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, looking at the strict barrier in front of him, he couldn't open his legs.The palace maid who led her all the way saw that she was scared and wanted to say a word of relief, but she didn't know what to say, so she had to hang her head in frustration.Fu Mingsong pursed her lips, and her voice was soft and slow: "Sister, do you know why the emperor announced me?"
”The palace maid raised her head: "The five girls have tormented the slaves and maids, and the emperor's thoughts and slaves can't guess it, so they really don't dare to make a judgment." ”Fu Mingsong let go of her palm in disappointment, and walked slowly step by step as if she was tentatively walking, she was very sensitive to the afterglow, and she could naturally detect the few lines of sight that fell on her, which only made her heart more and more panicked.Pushing open the door, the girl's gaze came from the bottom up, and the first thing that caught her eye was a purple glazed square table on the steps, the corners of which were slightly curved, and the corners of the table were dragons with jade beads on their mouths.Further up, there is an empty green dragon wooden chair.Carved beams and painted walls, white stone and jade columns, everywhere show the richness and dignity.There are two rows of palace maids standing at the ends of the steps like sculptures, their hands folded in front of their abdomen, bowing their heads and saying nothing.Fu Mingsong cautiously pushed the door in, his cautious little appearance, like a cat that had strayed into a treasure land.And those palace maids didn't mean to talk to her at all, Fu Mingsong's breathing unconsciously became a little heavier, and she suddenly remembered the words of Empress Dowager Shen.Birthday eight characters, is it because of the birth eight characters?
Other than that, she couldn't think of any other reason why the emperor summoned her.Fu Mingsong pretended to be calm and straightened his back, but he didn't know that fine sweat had already broken out nervously on his forehead.Suddenly, the curtain of the door rang softly, and she was like a startled cat, and her little face was pale and followed the prestige.I saw step by step, the dark dark pattern robe loomed from several falling curtains, and the bridge of the man's tall nose could be vaguely seen.Before Wen Shu could walk in front of her, she was already kneeling in a standard posture.Wen Shu was stunned, and his clear eyebrows couldn't help frowning: "......" knelt faster than anyone else.The man's voice was slightly helpless: "Get up." ”Fu Mingsong folded his hands in front of his forehead at this time, knelt in front of him in a very standard kowtow posture, and when he heard the words, his arms paused slightly, he slowly withdrew his hand, and slowly stood up on the ground.From beginning to end, she lowered her eyes, as if there was some fierce god standing in front of her, and she was about to be blind at a glance.The two of them stood opposite each other like this, and there was a bit of a stalemate.The little girl's jaw in front of Wen Shu was tense, and she didn't dare to look up, her tight lips were even dry to white, and her eyes were a little red...
His eyes sank an inch, and he knew exactly what had happened in Quhe Garden.Wen Shu looked sideways: "Sit." ”Fu Mingsong thanked him softly, and then knelt on the soft seat.There were pastries and tea on the small table, and a brightly colored white jade cup was close to the teapot, and the cup was engraved with winding lines.The palace maid behind her knelt on the side of the small table and poured tea for her behind her.Fu Mingsong stretched out his hand to take it, and his fingertips were tightly pressed against the mouth of the cup.He turned his gaze back to the person who tried to bury his head in the tea and hide: "The Ministry of Rites has presented an excerpt, and there are only two people in the whole capital who have the eight characters of the birth date of the Central Palace, and the five girls are one of them, what do you think?"
”Fu Mingsong's nerves were tense, and she didn't hear how familiar this voice was, but she thought in her heart that she had guessed correctly.In her usual way of answering, she replied softly, "The courtiers don't dare." ”Don't dare again.Wen Shu frowned: "Are you afraid of me?"
”In this whole world, is there anyone who is not afraid of the Son of Heaven?
Fu Mingsong clasped his fingers: "The emperor is Wan-" raised his head and spoke. ”Wen Shu interrupted her.Fu Mingsong's breath froze, pursed the corners of his lips tightly, and raised his head cautiously.The hall was bright, and the light cast by the windows on both sides happened to be concentrated on the steps.The slender man stood on the steps, and his dark dark striped robe was embroidered with gold silk dragon patterns, coiled and intertwined.Further up, the thin lips were pursed lightly, the bridge of the nose and the deep eyes lined the eyebrows and eyes very cold and sharp, and I saw the sword-like sword eyebrows slightly raised by an inch: "See clearly?"
”In an instant, Fu Mingsong's apricot eyes widened, her ears seemed to be buzzing, she shook her hand, and a drop of hot tea fell on the tiger's mouth, and she suddenly let go.The white jade cup fell off from the girl's hand, and it turned several times on the small table, and fell to the ground with a bang, and the delicate lines were instantly broken - the palace maids on both sides were shocked, and they all tensed their backs, lowered their heads and closed their eyes in silence for her, and the pity on their faces was not hidden.It's over, it's over, dare to throw a cup in front of the emperor, what a big disrespect.Even Yuan Lu on the side looked at the fragments on the ground with pity.There were originally twelve of them in this set, which was very popular with the emperor, but unfortunately the companion was like a tiger, and this cup was not spared...
Today, there are only two left.Right now, there's only one.Fu Mingsong was stunned, his face turned pale, and his already red eyes were a little deeper.The man raised his eyebrows, and laughed in an uncertain tone: "No one dares to smash a cup in Jingyang Palace yet." ”The person in front of him trembled violently, and when he knelt down: "I, I'm not-" "What's not?"
”The man took a few steps forward, stood in front of her condescendingly, and slowly bent down and squatted down: "Look up." ”The little girl's shoulders and neck were trembling with fright, and when she looked up, she saw a face in front of her, and her lower lip was almost bloodless, and she couldn't hide her cowardice desperately.She had heard rumors in the market that the current saint was suffering from a hidden disease, and the weather was uncertain, and he saw blood.Therefore, at this moment, in Fu Mingsong's eyes, the one who bent down and squatted in front of her seemed to be a ghost with a bloody mouth to devour her.When you think about it, it's even more terrifying."
I—I didn't mean to," she looked at those deep eyes, her frightened voice trembled, getting lower and lower: "I'll compensate you..."
—she left Jingyang Palace with three souls lost, and she couldn't remember how she returned to the banquet or how she returned to the Fu Mansion.In the depths of the night, the girl clung to the futon in her arms, tossing and turning, tossing and turning.It's all in the house, and her heart doesn't seem to have fallen back into her stomach.I still remember that today's bony and slender hand touched her chin, patiently wiped away her tears, and said in a seductive tone: "What do you pay?"
”"Shall you compensate me?"
Thinking of this, Ming Song's heart trembled, and he frowned and turned over again.Xu was frightened by today's events, she didn't sleep well this night, and she had frequent nightmares.It's still a dream prison, damp and dark, and the air smells of rot.The woman who was huddled in the corner clasped her knees with her hands, followed by the eunuch's sharp voice, "The emperor said, give death." ”The last word was deliberately dragged out, and it swirled back and forth in the empty cell.The Nanmu tray rests on the woman's lap, and there is a white ceramic bottle lying on it, and the bottle is painted with a red water lotus, which can drip blood.Suddenly, Fu Mingsong curled up suddenly, his fingers tugging at the clothes on his chest, and the place was spasmodic and throbbing, as if it was poisoned to the internal organs, and he was about to die.Suddenly, two voices got closer: "Whose post is this?"
”"Oh, isn't this written, sisters of the Chen family in the Earl's Palace.""
When did the Chen sisters have a relationship with our five girls, why did they get the post here?"
At this time, Fu Mingsong woke up suddenly, it was bright outside the window, and she still maintained the posture of curling up into the futon with her clothes, and slowly let go for a long time.The pain in the dream gradually dissipated, and the voices of the two maids outside the door drifted in word by word: "It has spread outside, the five girls and the three girls of the Earl's Mansion are all on the birthday of the Middle Palace, and it is said that the Queen Mother wants to choose one of them." ”"Shhhhh But the Chen family's post, isn't it a Hongmen banquet?
”"Who knows, this Chen family has a lord in her body, and she must be the one in the back position, so she may not put the five girls in her eyes.""
The fifth girl, this time, it's not a blessing, it's unlucky." ...
