072 Queen

Some things will leave a deep impression, sadness or joy in the memory, but those are the past that cannot be erased in life.

Lin Yarong still remembers the situation when she entered the palace on the first day. The continuous rain of many days made the whole capital shrouded in a wet water mist. From afar, the red wall and golden roof of the imperial city was stained with rain more and more unreal, with cold dampness pressed on her heart.

Empty and quiet is her first impression of the palace, like calm stagnant water. No matter what it is, even if it is a boulder, it can't turn out a little splash. Ten years later, she still can't forget the emptiness and silence that makes people feel afraid from the bottom of her heart.

Entering Changhui Gate, there was a small sedan waiting for a long time.

Lin Yarong got out of the carriage, subconsciously turned her head and looked over a heavy building. Her eyes finally fell on the high spire of Chongzheng Hall. She looked at it for a while before she turned around and said, "Anan, you go back first." She didn't think that the queen's oracle was brought by Ye Qiunan, but she could see her old friends as soon as she entered Beijing, which made Lin Yarong feel somewhat warm.

Ye Qiunan looked down her eyes and smiled, "Your Majesty hasn't gone down yet. By the way, if you are free later, let's go to Jingping Hall to have a look.

Lin Yarong was slightly stunned, but she quickly said, "Well, I know."

After walking for about a minute, she arrived at Yanfu Palace. The maid of honor raised the curtain and asked Lin Yarong to get off the sedan chair. Standing on the stone steps of Yanfu Palace, she looked up and saw the Xiaguang Hall, which was the main hall where the queen lived. Lin Yarong had stayed there for five years.

It's only half a year and returned to a familiar place, but Lin Yarong was not happy at all, but a little heavier.

"Madam, the Queen doesn't like to wait for others." A little maid who seemed to be only fourteen or fifteen came forward and whispered.

Lin Yarong was slightly stunned and then asked, "Which father-in-law are you under?"

The little maid didn't know why Lin Yarong asked, but when she saw that Lin Yarong was wearing a lady's dress, she quickly lowered her head and whispered, "I'm working under Duke Wei."

smiled, and Lin Yarong carefully picked up her skirt and walked to the Xiaguang Hall.

You can faintly hear someone behind you whispering, "Do you know who she is? How dare you talk to her like that?"

Who is she?

A wry smile appeared at the corners of Lin Yarong's mouth. You don't have to guess how those little maids talked about her behind her back. In those years, many people called her this in private. I didn't expect her to be notorious when she came out of the palace, and I don't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.

Through the weeping flower corridor, the Xiaguang Hall is close in sight.

A group of maids of honor came towards her. From afar, Lin Yarong seemed to see someone. She couldn't help stopping. When she looked carefully, she couldn't help but be surprised. It was indeed the person.

When the maids of honor approached, she called softly: "Jiang Mei."

The maid who walked with her head raised her head raised her head when she heard the words. When she saw Lin Yarong's face clearly, her always calm face also showed surprise. After a long time, the maid named Jiang Mei saluted: "I've seen Madam."

"Jiang Mei, how are you?"

"It's good."

Lin Yarong's words were poor for a moment. She kept fantasizing about what she would say to Jiang Mei when she met Jiang Mei again, but when she really faced it, she suddenly didn't know what to say, as if there was something lying between them.

"Jiang Mei, which master are you following now?"

"A talented man." Seeing Lin Yarong's face doubt, Jiang Mei paused and whispered, "Your Majesty only sealed the martial arts man a month ago."

No wonder Lin Yarong was just thinking that there was no master surnamed Wu in the palace before.

Before Lin Yarong could speak again, Jiang Mei said, " By the way, I heard that you got married a few days ago. I'm really happy for you. You should have married well, right?"

Lin Yarong knew that her clothes could not deceive people, so she nodded. After thinking for a while, she whispered, "Jiang Mei, are you all right? If you want to leave the palace, I can figure it out. Jiang Mei and she entered the palace in the same year. Now that the period has expired for ten years, she can leave the palace and return home for retirement.

Jiang Mei looked at Lin Yarong for a while before shaking her head: "No, I... I don't want to leave the palace for the time being, and I have no relatives in my hometown."

Lin Yarong knew Jiang Mei's background, but when she heard that there was no one in her family, she couldn't help but feel sad for Jiang Mei.

"I'm leaving." Jiang Mei opened her mouth and seemed to want to say something, but in the end, she just smiled at Lin Yarong and hurried away.

Lin Yarong's heart is a little sad, and Jiang Mei seems to be worse than she thought in recent years.

stunned, Lin Yarong sighed and walked forward.

Before the door of Xiaguang Hall, someone has already greeted him: "Sister Ziyan."

A woman in a light green cross-neck palace skirt and plain velvet on her head came up, with a pink face full of smiles.

Lin Yarong had a little surprise: "Qinghong, how are you?"

Qinghong came over, looked at Lin Yarong for a while, and smiled, "I should change my name to call you marquis's wife. Sister, although it's a little late, I still want to congratulate you."

Lin Yarong stared at Qinghong angrily. Qinghong squeezed her mouth and stretched out her hand to help her: "Madam, please enter the hall."

In the air, Lin Yarong asked in a low voice, "Do you know why the Queen asked me to come?"

Qinghong shook her head: "Who dares to guess what the Empress's thoughts are, but since Grandpa Zhou came back earlier, the Empress has been thinking about you."

In the past, when Lin Yarong was still in the palace, she had a good relationship with Qinghong. At this time, Lin Yarong felt uneasy.

Before she asked again, the two had walked into the Xiaguang Hall. Lin Yarong quickly closed her mouth and stood outside holding her breath. Qinghong also let go of her hand at this time and said with a serious look, "Madam, wait a minute. Please wait here for the call of the Empress."

Qinghong walked into the hall. After a while, she heard the ceremonial officer in the hall shout, "Mrs. Zhenguo Hou went into the hall to see Feng driving."

......

"Queen, please, the queen is a thousand years old."

"All right, get up quickly."

The maid of honor came forward to lift her up from the ground and only heard the queen laugh and said, "Look at her. Isn't this fateful dress very expensive on her? After leaving the palace for half a year, I gained a lot of weight and looked better than before.

The queen's words fell to the ground, and someone on the side had already responded. Lin Yarong looked up. In addition to the queen sitting in the middle, she didn't expect that Wan Guifei and Defei were also there, which made her a little surprised. You know, Wan Guifei and Defei have never dealt with the queen, and as the first female officials in front of the queen, Wan Guifei and Defei have always been disoriented towards Lin Yarong. What's going on now?

Lin Yarong came forward to visit Wan Guifei and Defei.

Wan Guifei looked at her up and down for a while before whispering, "I have always heard that the south raises people. I think Ziyan has not only gained weight, but also her face is white, and she looks several years younger than before."

Concubine De answered aside, "That's not true. As the saying goes, it's also a little interesting to wear this set of lady's head on purple smoke. Alas, looking at my memory, I can't call it Ziyan now. I have to change my name to Marquis's wife.

The singing of Wan Guifei and Defei is belittling Lin Yarong both in and out. Although it is not dirty, it is still uncomfortable to hear.

The queen snorted coldly: "Fei's sister is right. The face on the girl's body is really not good-looking. Originally, according to your majesty's intention, she was going to give her a seven-tailed hairpin, but the mourning family was afraid that the girl would be blessed and could not stand it, and finally had to give up. Now when I heard what Defei's sister said, my family was not appropriate at the beginning. Yarong, come forward and let the family have a good look.

Lin Yarong dares not say a word at this time. The queen is using her as a target. Seven-tailed hairpin, this is the custom of the noble concubine. The queen clearly talked about her, but this is actually secretly saying that Wan Guifei's blessing is shallow, and she also pulled the German concubine as a cushion.

Sure enough, this harem has not always been a peaceful place, but after a while, she offended several women, and Lin Yarong couldn't pour out a lot of bitter water.

Concubine Wan and Concubine De were silenced by the queen's words, but there was no good look on their faces. After sitting for a while, Wan Guifei found an excuse and left the Xiaguang Hall, followed by Defei.

When the unaffaired people left, the queen looked at Lin Yarong and sighed gently: "When you left the palace, I'm afraid it will be difficult to see you in your life. I didn't expect that you would marry the Marquis of Zhen and become a lifeblood, which is also the fate of you and me. Now you move back to Beijing with the Marquis of Zhen, and when you have time in the future, you can come to the palace to spend more time with your family.

Lin Yarong answered, "The queen loves me and is my blessing. How dare I disturb your tranquility? As long as the Empress doesn't bother me, I will come to the palace to serve her when I have time.

The queen laughed and reached out and twisted her face: "You are the clever mouth. If you don't practice, you will make your family happy."

If it weren't for the help, Lin Yarong really didn't want to step into the palace again.

"Yes, is the Marquis of Zhenguo good for you? There are no outsiders here. You have to tell the truth to your family.

"If you go back to your mother, the marquis is very kind to me, and my mother-in-law is also very kind to me. You don't have to worry."

The queen sighed gently: "If you had stayed in the palace, it would not have been worse than now, but you..."

Before the queen finished speaking, Lin Yarong hurriedly said, "Mother, please don't say that. It's my great blessing to serve you and your majesty. How dare you ask for anything more? It's just that my mother is old and my younger siblings are young, and I need to go back to take care of them. Otherwise, I really don't want to leave you."

Opening his eyes and telling lies is actually a necessary means to survive in the palace. After saying this, Lin Yarong couldn't help smiling secretly.

Alas, it's not easy.

Fortunately, the queen asked her to go back earlier after lunch.

As soon as she came out of Xiaguang Hall, Lin Yarong took a long breath.

Qinghong secretly said, "Sister, are you going to leave the palace?"

Lin Yarong was stunned. Yes, she still has a place to go.

She also has to go to Jingping Hall.

Thinking of this, Lin Yarong only felt a headache.

I was about to ask Qinghong what happened in Jingping Hall recently, but Qinghong suddenly pulled her and quickly said, "It's Your Majesty."

Everyone knelt down together.

The rustling footsteps came from far to near, and a pair of black gold-inlaid dragon shoes just stopped in front of her.

Lin Yarong suddenly moved.
