Chapter 314: A feast in the world

Thinking of the marriage between Shangguan Wanxuan and Jun Yusulun, it was still because of himself, and Zichu felt even more guilty.

The hall exuded a warm and dry atmosphere, as if all the water in her body was dried, and the sound of a death knell smashed her heart with pain, but she could never cry.

For a long time, finally at the moment when I was on my back, two lines of tears wind down from the corners of my eyes along my cheeks, twists and turns like the indescribable sadness, and finally fell into the endless darkness of the hall.

The winter is always silent, the weather is getting colder and colder, even the time in the air seems to be frozen, and the new snow outside the grid window is drifting particularly slowly. Small snowflakes rubbed on the window screen and rubbed out a "smoisting" sound. Because the snow reflects the light at noon, it is quite bright and dazzling.

Zichu gently untied the gauze belt and held the light rose-colored double-embroidered mackerel yarn, but his eyes fell on a red plum tree in the yard. He asked softly, "This year's honey plums are well, and the bones are also very energetic. Is it okay for people to fold a few branches to come in?"

"Well, I don't understand these flowers and plants, but since you like it, there's nothing good or bad." Ye Heming was dressed in a honey-colored brocade suit. Because her face faded away from the roundness of some girls, she showed a little beautiful posture, and she was very close to Jiang Jiantao at this time, which added a little charming color.

"I heard that Liu Shan took someone to the plum garden to pick plum blossoms and take them back and put them in a bottle. In fact, as far as I am concerned, where does the emperor still have the spirit to see the flowers now? What's the difference between Lamei and Jinming?

Zichu was afraid that she would become more and more sad, so he had to come and sit down and smiled, "Actually, he also..."

There seemed to be a lot to say, but it was just a moment of silence. Finally, he asked with a smile, " By the way, have you seen the little prince these days? How's it going? Are you still energetic?

Zichu's stomach is getting bigger and bigger, and it is no longer convenient to go out to walk. Coupled with the heavy wind and snow these days, it is rare to go out. Hearing this, Ye Heminglu nodded and said, "The children are fine. They are raised by the emperor's side, and the people who take care of them are also extremely appropriate. It's just that as soon as I saw that he lost his mother at such a young age, I couldn't help but feel sorry.

"Yes, Shangguan Wan has always passed away too early. After she left, not only the emperor was sad, but also the previous dynasty and the harem were uneasy for a while. Now, it seems that everything is calm. However, my heart is always hanging there. I always feel that something will happen, and it is difficult to settle down.

"Well, it is said that we are thinking a lot during pregnancy, but I don't know how to do it. It's similar to what you think."

Zichu said, stroking his growing belly, thinking that he inadvertently heard from Jun Yuchen a few days ago. The emperor and the empress dowager Nalan seemed to have quarreled again. In anger, the empress dowager almost turned his face with the empress dowager in front of the palace.

Jun Yuchen has been away for the past two days. I just want to go to Yi and Gong to persuade his parents. Somehow, Zi's original intention always felt that the quarrel between the emperor and the Empress Dowager Nalan had something to do with the death of Guan Wan. But she was not sure that such things were too important. Even Ye Heminglu did not dare to reveal anything, so she could only file a lawsuit in her heart.

Sure enough, in addition to worrying in Zi's original intention, the life of Empress Dowager Nalan is really difficult on the side of Yi'an Palace.

Jun Yuchen has been here every day, but he has not seen his mother, because the Empress Dowager Nalan has been ordered by the emperor to be under house arrest.

"Empress dowager, let's have some porridge at least. You see, it's been more than half a day. You can't get into the water and rice. The maids sent by the emperor to serve the empress dowager said light, but they deliberately kept a distance, for fear that the empress dowager Nalan would push her away in anger, smash the bowl and sprinkle porridge, but it was nothing. If she burned her, she would be unlucky.

The Empress Dowager Nalan didn't seem to hear anything, but looked at the short knife in her hand like a dementia. Big tears fell down one by one and splashed on the golden flowers on the handle of the knife, but only quietly squeezed her mouth.

She slowly pulled out the knife. The blade was cold, and the maids around her were very scared. The two hurried forward and held her hand and begged, "Empress Dowager, Empress Dowager, you can't think about it."

"Go away----" The Empress Dowager Nalan didn't know where she came from. She pulled the knife out of the hands of the two sisters and said coldly, "Who said that the mourning family was going to die? The mourning family is the empress dowager, the empress dowager of the world!"

She smiled with tears and trembled all over. "He forced me to die, but I didn't die... I didn't die..."

"The Empress Dowager----" The maids were at a loss when they saw her laughing very much.

And in the eyes of the Empress Dowager Nalan, at this moment, her heart is really dead.

Because her husband told her in person that he hated her snake and scorpion and didn't want to see her again.

I finally heard what I wanted to hear.

-----However, why is there no half-decomposition and refreshing? He is about to become an abandoned wife, and his son will also leave the capital with his daughter-in-law. He lives alone in the harem. The future life can be imagined, and the best result is just to die peacefully.

What if Junyu comes to her senses and knows what she secretly did with Princess Zhang Ding, or her husband will go first?

Not to mention any changes during this period, no matter which step is careless, I'm afraid it can only be defeated and fate is uncertain.

Empress Dowager Nalan seemed to suddenly open her eyes and stood on the edge of the cliff, having to face the cold darkness on the road ahead.

And behind his back - it's just a near-ethereal promise from his son that he would definitely take himself out of the palace to retire, but can he really wait until that day in his life?

Even if it really waits until that day, how much will your limited time be worn out by the ruthless knife of the years? At this moment, I am really full of unwillingness, but I am so afraid of the dark and pain, how can I really seek death? At present, I am like a drowning person grabbing a straw. Even if it is clear in my heart, I don't want to let go of this last ray of hope.

But what if it hadn't been for this?

Time turns back to the beginning. Is it really as my husband wished to maintain superficial harmony with his stepson Junyus? Then, he will treat it coldly because he is reluctantly, and he will also be resentful because of his attitude. The gap will accumulate deeper and deeper. In the end, it will be just a pair of grievances.

Or, do you simply pester to go to his fief with your son? No matter what Song Zichu will do, he must lose face first, and then when Song Zichu gave birth to a child and regarded himself as nothing, will he regret the difference in thought at the beginning?

Is the other ending more fortunate than the life and death that I miss now? It turns out that no matter how hard you struggle, you can't escape the huge power of the wheel of fate. Is this the so-called life?

The Empress Dowager Nalan gently stroked the crystal knife handle, calmed her heart in an instant, and called to the maid, "I heard that the emperor's things to celebrate the mourning family's birthday have been shipped. You let people move them to the yard to open. I want to see if they are full of dissatisfaction."

The maids were confused when they heard the words and hesitated, "If you go back to the Empress Dowager's words, those are sealed. Isn't it good to open them at this time?"

"Tut talk!" The Empress Dowager Nalan frowned and scolded and sneered, "Since it is the emperor's intention to mourn the family, the mourning family depends on how sincere he is. They all do according to the words of the family. If it is not suitable, replace them all!"

The maids did not dare to say more. They greeted the palace people to move the congratulatory gifts to the yard. The things were sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The left and right were just silk and rare treasures. However, a pair of high neck bottles with auspicious flowers and gold mouths was quite rare, with half a person, which was very valuable.

The Empress Dowager Nalan walked down lazily and knocked on the edge of the bottle with her scabbard. There was a crisp and pleasant "jingle" sound. Her hand stopped, and the sound in her ear was still endless.

"Oh, what a good thing." The Empress Dowager Nalan seemed to look at it quite playfully. The eight-treasure petal-shaped folded outward, and the bright and discernable colorful treasure paint on the bottle was like a new drawing, and the realistic auspicious pattern almost protruded. Even if it was tall and wide, there was no flaw at all. Naturally, it was a treasure that was hard to find.

"Empress dowager, I heard that this bottle is a tribute this year. At the beginning, it cost thousands of taels of silver to transport the bottles alone. Twenty people along the route are specially care of them, wrapped in silk, for fear of bumping a star."

The little palace girl next to her chattered enviously and didn't notice that the Empress Dowager Nalan was getting colder and colder at all. She continued to sigh, "Well, there is no mistake----"

"Is it okay?" The Empress Dowager Nalan pushed the vase hard, and the palace people next to her had no time to protect it. She only heard a loud noise. The high bottle suddenly broke and bloomed all over the ground, and the fine pieces of white jade porcelain shone brightly in the sun.

"What good thing is this? Let it be lost today!!" The palace people exclaimed in an instant. Some were at a loss, and some came to clean up in panic, and the yard was suddenly full of excitement.

Empress Dowager Nalan looked at the fragments, as if she could see the clear cracks spreading, and even hear the harsh sound, which was continuous and painful, which was her heartbreak.

When there was a lot of noise in the yard, a cold sound came from the moon gate, but the emperor appeared there and ordered the palace people, "Pack up the gifts sent by the emperor and go down!"

"Yes, Emperor."

No one knows what the emperor and Empress Dowager Nalan said this night. However, after the emperor left, the Empress Dowager Nalan had been sitting there stunned until the maids came to help her back to rest in the middle of the night when she cried bitterly.

Because of Shangguan Wan's death, Jin Xuguo's harem was shrouded in an unusually dull and solemn atmosphere. Even the Empress Dowager's birthday was just a simple celebration. Naturally, the emperor did not attend. Empress Zhang, who had been ill in bed, led a group of imperial concubines to celebrate the Empress Dowager's birthday.
