Chapter 130: Farewell to Beigong
The North Palace was originally considered gorgeous, but after being abandoned for many years, it has become a piece of ruins, only occasionally scattered houses standing on the wasteland, surrounded by weeds, and occasionally there are foxes and rabbits running around, it is indescribably desolate.
If one ignores the majestic palaces behind him, one would almost suspect that one has left Miyagi unknowingly.
"Do you remember?" Although for the sake of Yun's face, she still retained Jieyu's status, but after all, she was thrown into the cold palace. His stature, the dismal tone when he spoke, revealed a kind of weakness and erratic that would ride the wind anytime and anywhere, "You gave me an idea to visit my aunt secretly. She lives in a place similar to here."
Her tone was very casual, as if the two had gotten along before entering the palace.
Yun Fenghuang narrowed his eyes, looked at her for a moment, and said slowly: "When did you reach out to my palace?"
"I have that ability, why did I deliberately frame you to enter the palace together?" Yun Qingman turned her head, she is the most beautiful concubine under Yi Guogong's knee, otherwise she would not have been taken by her aunt to raise her when she was young.
In terms of appearance, it is actually no worse than Yun Fenghuang.
It's just because of the long-term and hesitant temperament that has been accumulated over the years, there is a gloomy look between his brows, and he is not as lively as a young man should be, far less agile than Yun Fenghuang.
As a result, the originally gorgeous appearance also seemed boring.
But at this moment, it is boring, but it seems that someone has lightly traced a few strokes, and it is vivid.
In her eyes that were always weak and hesitant, there was a rare mockery that refused to budge, "The only thing I tricked you into success is this one. After that, my sister-in-law is gone, and I can do it again." What?"
Yun Fenghuang remained motionless for a while, and then said slowly: "So you really did it on purpose."
At this moment, she had mixed feelings in her mind, it had been five years.
In the past five years, from the initial resentment of suddenly entering the palace, to the later acceptance, and now to the current ambition... Regarding why she entered the palace, who harmed her, whether it was fate or Xiao Han's jealous nature, Yun It's not that Feng Huang didn't think about it.
Because of Yun Qingman's repeated defenses and his understanding of her being raised and abandoned by his aunt, Yun Fenghuang hated her for retaliating against her, and even dragged her out without hesitation when something happened this time. As for the reason why she was selected into the palace in the first place, she actually tended that Yun Qingman was careless or used.
After all, she has been a boudoir friend of Miss Yun Si for three years, and she thinks she knows her very well.
Moreover, they have been together day and night for three years, and they are only in their teens. How could it be possible that they have no feelings at all?
Yun Fenghuang felt that he was cruel and merciless, but when he realized that he was inextricably linked with Yun Qingman when he entered the palace, why didn't his heart shake?
She herself is like this, how could Yun Qingman, who was deliberately raised and abandoned by her aunt, be so cruel?
But Yun Qing said very calmly: "Yes, I did it on purpose. And do you know when I decided to do this?"
Before Yun Fenghuang could speak, she had already continued on her own, "I didn't even think of letting you enter the palace with me at first, I was just afraid. I even rely on you to find fault with Han's lowly maidservants Only by making suggestions can I be able to cope with it. After entering the palace, even if I have the protection of my sister, can I really be favored by His Majesty and have a place in the palace? Although everyone around me congratulates me, saying that having a sister in the palace is four One of the concubines, I will definitely not be wronged after entering the palace..."
"But I was raised by my aunt. How much have I been wronged?"
"I have been wronged and I still want to thank my aunt for her kindness!!!"
"My mother is like this. Why should my biological daughter treat me sincerely? I told you at that time, and I still remember clearly what you said. I didn't understand it at that time, but I just tried to remember your advice. Thinking about it now, you are sincerely doing my best. After entering the palace, you advised me to maintain the style before entering the palace. Don’t be particularly smart and shrewd, and listen to my sister in everything. After giving birth to a child, how will my sister deal with it? Whatever you do, don't show any dissatisfaction..."
"At that time, I didn't really understand why I had to wrong myself like this. After all, I was younger than my sister-in-law, and I was not inferior in appearance. I was also my father's daughter. Why couldn't I fight for favor by myself and get rid of the control of my mother-in-law and sister-in-law... "Yun Qingman breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled helplessly, "Look, how smart are you? Even if you were not of high birth, even if you didn't know much about palaces at the time, you still saw the most important point: if I enter The Empress Dowager reveals the slightest bit of ambition and the slightest bit of unwillingness, even if she can conceive under the hands of the first sister, she will not escape the fate of leaving the mother and keeping the child!"
"I'm not you, I don't have the ability to resist them."
"Even if I know that my mother-in-law and my sister-in-law want to give birth to a child, and let me give birth to an emperor's heir for my sister, I can't help but die for no reason."
She said lightly, "The more I thought about it, the more afraid and unwilling I became. After all, when we were at home, it was convenient for us to meet. I suffered a disadvantage. I told you in private that you will always have a way to deal with it, and even seek justice for me. But after I entered the palace, how could it be so easy to see you again? I ran into trouble, was bullied, and wronged, so I had to figure it out on my own. His intelligence is just mediocre... No matter how much you tell me and give me more advice, I can't see the hope of a good death for me."
"Then I thought, why can't we let you enter the palace together?"
"In this way, we can be together all the time. If I have anything to do, I can continue to look for you."
Yun Qingman smiled softly, "Even if you hate me because of this, you don't want to advise me, or even suppress me, that's okay. Because you will definitely hate my mother and sister, and you will suppress and revenge them ... It doesn't hurt if you don't cut yourself with a knife. Even if we have been friends for three years, you have given me advice and advice, but you have always controlled the scale, because you are not the one who is bullied, suppressed and restrained, you are just trying to win me It is only through good impressions that I can help me make up my mind, of course it is impossible to do my best as my own experience.”
"For example, from the dangerous start when you just entered the palace, you quickly turned the situation around, but you never told me about your thoughts and plans."
"I don't have the ability to take revenge on my aunt and sister. To take revenge on the Yun family who gave birth to me and raised me but didn't treat me as a human being. If I don't count on you, who else can I count on?"
She looked up at Yun Fenghuang who was expressionless, and said softly, "And you are more capable than I thought, you know? On the day my sister died, I almost strangled my palm with my hand in my sleeve." Only then can I pretend to be devastated, otherwise, I almost laughed out loud in public! Since childhood, people around me have often mentioned her, she is the heart of my father, the life-root-son of my aunt, both talented and beautiful Ming Dayi, everything is better than me. My aunt raised me personally, but at the same time disliked me for being inferior to her... Dad didn't say it clearly, but the meaning behind the words was that I gave her children and then Go to hell, it's nothing."
"But what? She's dead."
"In the few months since I entered the palace, if I say no, it will be gone."
"At that time, I thought about what my father and aunt's face would look like when they heard the news, and I felt very happy!"
"I even thought, even if I die immediately, I have nothing to complain about."
"After all, when I hated Han's mother and daughter the most, I never thought that I would be able to eradicate the dignified concubine Zhenxishu!"
"The fourth prince is gone, but your aunt is still in the mansion." Yun Fenghuang finally said, "So you don't even care about your aunt now?"
Yun Qingman said indifferently: "Don't you know? That's right, my aunt's identity is worth your worrying about? She was pregnant with a pearl a few days ago."
Her bleak face showed clear sarcasm, "You know my father's nature very well. In the eyes of outsiders, he is loyal to the emperor and the court. At home, the rules have always been good. Respect the wife, and the concubines are different." ...Even though the Han family dislikes his personality and appearance, he still doesn't allow any concubine to provoke his first wife. As for our concubine children, we have to be more disciplined. But even if he abides by the rules, he actually doesn't How can you see us. But if you don’t obey the rules, you will definitely be rejected. Because I was raised by my aunt, I have always been hated by my brothers and sisters. But you know, my aunt only wants me to give birth to her own daughter. Yu Daughter, you don’t have any sincerity towards me.”
"The brother who was born in the first place is not close to me, and even he has a better impression of you."
"The elder sister who was born on the first day is actually okay with me, but I also know that it is only temporary."
"She treats me kindly, just like I treat cats and puppies... Give them delicious and fun things, and even condone a little waywardness and ignorance."
"However, whenever something hinders me, it is very refreshing to throw it away and give it up."
"I have always been sincere to me, except for you back then, there is only my aunt."
"But now my aunt is pregnant again, she has other children, and I am not favored, even the fourth prince is gone, how much will she remember me?"
"So you don't want to live anymore? Because you think your aunt won't want you anymore when she's old?" Yun Fenghuang said sarcastically, "Isn't this normal? If I were your aunt, I wouldn't want you either. Calling you such a waste, you even have to design others to deal with the enemy you have been thinking about."
Yun Qingman was not moved by these words, and only calmly said: "Although you are not born noble, you have been loved by your parents since childhood, your siblings, grandparents, and grandparents, and your childhood sweetheart. You. You grew up in such a situation. Naturally, you don’t understand the sadness of a so-called noble lady like me. What you take for granted, in the eyes of people like us who have never received sincere love and indulgence Here, it is extremely difficult.”
"Otherwise, why do you think His Majesty likes you? In fact, to put it bluntly, Your Majesty and I are all the same way. We both couldn't and didn't dare to be at ease when we were young."
"No matter how noble and respected the status is now, it is still hard to forget the trembling when I was young."
"What people like us envy most is your freedom and wantonness."
"Since I entered the palace, His Majesty has not liked me very much. I am not surprised at all."
"Although I'm not bad in terms of appearance, but... Your Majesty will think of me when I was a child when I see such a boring and dull personality?"
"I don't like Your Majesty either. When I saw His Majesty's gentle and elegant appearance, I remembered that I learned the rules when I was young. My aunts all said that I was not born by my first mother. It is my blessing to have someone to teach the rules. I must cherish it."
She sneered, "You only learned to be cautious after you came to the Imperial Capital, so you don't understand at all that people who walk on thin ice seriously will not dare to walk freely even if they step on solid ground one day."
Yun Fenghuang was silent for a while, and said lightly: "Since you have so many opinions on me, why did you plead guilty to those charges just now?"
Yun Qingman's expression suddenly softened, and said: "All my views on you are nothing more than envy and jealousy. If I could choose, I would rather choose your life. You look like your father, your mother looks like your own mother, your brothers, sisters-in-law and sisters will remember you in their hearts, and your aunt who married far away will treat you like your own flesh and blood... I don't want to live anyway, since you need a scapegoat, then I will Recognize it, so it can be regarded as repaying some grievances that caused you to enter the palace and miss Qi's son!"
After a pause, she said slowly, "Maybe you don't believe it, but I really didn't know that Mrs. Qi would come to the Imperial Capital. Otherwise, I might not have done that. In fact, I have always liked you. I said , in this life, apart from my aunt, you are the only one who has treated me sincerely. Even though you hated me when you entered the palace without knowing anything, I deserved it."
Yun Fenghuang looked at her and sneered: "Even if the fourth prince is dead, you don't hate me?"
"You didn't kill the fourth prince." Yun Qingman didn't have any strong emotions when he heard the words, but said calmly, "It's a good thing that he is gone, after all, this child has passed on the same fate as me, dear father It doesn't hurt, my mother is useless, and my aunt doesn't see him at all. Even as a prince, when he grows up, he will definitely be canonized as a vassal king, but is it interesting?"
She said lightly, "After the death of my sister-in-law, and after you formally entered into an enmity with Duke Yi, I often thought, what's the point of living in my life? The person who gave birth to me and raised me didn't care about me at all. I serve His Majesty in awe, and I don’t even have eyes for me. Even if I rely on Duke Yi’s mansion, relying on your banter, and continue living in this palace with rich clothes and fine food, it’s just wasting time in vain.”
"It's better to reincarnate earlier, maybe in the next life, my family will treat me well?"
Yun Fenghuang couldn't understand her thinking that she couldn't live because of her family members and because people around her didn't treat her sincerely. From Yun Fenghuang's point of view, she didn't live for the people around her. , it's not good for her, so it's not good to just step on them and climb up without any burden?
Isn't it good to take revenge after gaining power?
Wouldn't it make them envious and jealous to live better than them?
...Why can't you think about it?
However, Yun Qingman himself was willing to take the charge that the two brothers and sisters were fighting for causing Princess Zhaoqing's injury to be aggravated, which is also a good thing for Yun Fenghuang.
As for unraveling the truth of the year... the matter has come to this point, the answer is not important anymore.
So she said to Yun Qingman: "In this case, after you go on the road, I will ask someone to help you do some extra blessings in the dojo. I hope that in your next life, you can be like me, loving your father and mother, loving your brother and sister-in-law, Eldest sister takes care of you."
Anyway, she would not let Yun Qingman live through today.
If the trouble caused by a momentary soft-heartedness five years ago is not eradicated, who knows if there will be another disturbance in the future?
It's just that when Yun Qingman agreed to go into the house, Yun Fenghuang remembered, called her again, and asked: "Back then, when His Majesty practiced Zuo, all the ministers were intimidated by the Ji family, but Duke Yi took refuge without hesitation. ...do you know why?"
"...I'm afraid that my concubine brothers don't know about such a thing. How can a concubine like me hear about it?" Yun Qingman looked at her in surprise, and seeing Yun Fenghuang frowning, she waved her hand to indicate that she had no other questions. , She thought for a while, and then said, "But you can ask my direct brother."
Yun Fenghuang sneered: "Have you been neglected and confused all these years? Can I still have a good conversation with Yunqike?"
Yun Qingman pursed her lips: "At the beginning, he fell in love with you at first sight, and he wanted me to help you spread the word in private, so he went outside to find a bracelet and gave it to me. That bracelet is now placed at the bottom of my makeup box Underneath, there are pomegranates inlaid with turquoise inlaid with red gold and silk. But I saw that you were afraid of being accused of using me to pretend to be a high-ranking son, so I declined you and asked him to find his parents to discuss that the Ming media was getting married. Later You know about it. I have been telling my aunt that you don't know anything."
"I see." Yun Fenghuang nodded thoughtfully, "Do you have anything else to say? If not, I'll be leaving later."
Yun Qingman smiled, shook her head, and went in.
After a long while, Chen Jing squatted in the crack of the door and took a look, then said softly: "Ma'am, Yun Jieyu is hanging from the beam."
