Cold Palace’s Abandoned Consort - Chapter 2473
I was silent for a while and then stretched out my hand.
I felt that hand immediately reached over and held my hand, and gently held me to his side. In the sun, the robe on his body reflected a faint golden light, which made people feel a little dazzling.
The emperor would not have performed such a large ceremony if the concubine was concealed by other concubines, but the emperor—of course, I understand the importance of this position, second only to the existence of the queen, almost in the harem already under one thousand people. At this time, he brought all the civil and military officials, and even some envoys to the main hall, in order to show all this.
I stood beside him, slowly turning my head and looking down.
The sun is just right.
There is a dim light in front of my eyes. I can see the shadows of many people. Even after watching for a long time, I can tell who is who.
I saw Shen Xiaokun and Gao Tianzhang.
I saw Yu Wenying and Song Xuan.
And Yemenzhu.
I also saw a lot of students who had left the Jixian Temple at the beginning. Now, they have experienced this battle. They are afraid that they will be covered with dust and frost, but they are back anyway.
All these people looked up and looked at me standing in front of the hall in a gorgeous dress. Although I don’t know what I look like now, I still tried to make a smile on my face as much as possible. .
But somehow, my calm smile made some of the people around me unable to calm down.
Pei Yuanzhang’s hand that held my hand was unconscious and used a little more energy.
I looked up and looked at him.
Under the sun, his silhouette was clearly visible.
I only glanced at him, and felt that he held my hand harder.
In the palm, all sweat.
At this time, the emcee officer has taken a step forward, unfolded the imperial edict in his hand, and read the sealed edict to the following voice:
“The harmony of yin and yang, the heavens and the earth are smooth. Here are the noble ladies of Yanmen, with a gentle nature and a prudent attitude. Do everything in the palace, and exercise due diligence …”
These rhetoric are, of course, a whitewash of me.
I listened quietly, and the corners of my mouth even unknowingly twitched a little, raising a touch of radian.
At this time, the hand holding my hand was shaking unconsciously slightly.
He had a husky voice, and at this time whispered–
“Lightness.”
My head was slightly tilted, and the heavy crown and ring on my head immediately made the sound of Ding Ling Dang. In the sun, I was afraid it was also shining. I felt that his voice was very light, probably only the two of us could. Hear.
So I said softly, “What happened to your Majesty?”
“…”
After a moment of silence, he suddenly said, “Are you weird?”
My head tilted to his side again.
“Are you weird?”
“…”
I thought about it and said, “Why does Your Majesty ask?”
He was holding my hand vigorously, and at this time, the emcee officer was still aloud: “… the foundation of weathering, must support the human capital of Neifu, and the most important is Kunyi …”
Pei Yuanzhang was silent for a while, and said, “Because I know, you-don’t want to.”
I smiled slightly.
In the sun, such a smile probably seemed extraordinarily calm, even a little calm. He looked at me diligently and heard me say calmly: “Finally once, Your Majesty is willing to face what I think.”
“…”
“But you still want to seize me?”
“Because you know, you are the only one in this life.”
“…”
I was quiet for a while, then bowed my head again, smiled, and then said, “My Majesty is not the only one I want, but for now, His Majesty is not willing to let go.”
This is not the first time that he has been hit by such a blunt statement. Even when the two of us were around, the announcement sounded between the temples. He took a deep breath and said, “Why do you want to accept it?”
I said calmly, “Mother’s words make sense.”
“…”
“Some things need someone to do it, and I’m more suitable than others.”
“…”
“After this war, no matter whether it is the Central Plains or the Nishikawa Yan family, there can be no greater changes. If we must pass my book to stabilize the relationship between the court and the Nishikawa, then I-can accept.”
He didn’t expect that I would say these words calmly, and the hand holding my hand took a little more effort.
I just felt like he was crushing his phalanges.
He seemed to feel something, and kept on clinging to me, but even if he grasped it tightly, he continued to work hard, and seemed to be afraid of letting go—not even letting go, I would disappear.
He didn’t speak again, and I was quiet.
In the end, I heard the emcee official say aloud, “… Jin Jinfeng was conferred on the imperial concubine!”
When I looked up, I saw a figure coming forward, holding a red tray in my hand, and there was a thing on it, which should be the seal of the imperial concubine.
I reached out and took it gently.
At this moment, the rituals and music all around were ringing together, and His Royal Highness, all the ministers bowed to the ground and shouted, “Congratulations to the Royal Concubine!”
I smiled at the people below, and put the seal back on the tray without any reluctance, turned and left.

This canonization ceremony was grand.
However, such a flourishing scene almost made the whole country jubilant. I heard that the tax for one year was reduced or exempted. However, I, the most important person in the incident, had no fluctuation at all.
I can hear the shouting voices of people outside, and I also feel the joy of the eunuchs in the palace, and there are some things I ca n’t see, such as the influence on the Xichuan, such as the Central Plains, but here I am, It’s just the tranquility of Gujing.
After returning to Yihua Palace, the concubines in the harem all came to ask me for salute.
However, Chang Qing still didn’t show up.
Even if I didn’t care about everything around me, I couldn’t help asking: “Where’s the queen mother?”
The people around are a little awkward, look at me, I look at you.
In fact, if you look at it from the harem, it can’t be simpler, that is, the queen mother doesn’t wait to see me. Not only did the book-binding ceremony not appear today, even now everyone came to see me, she did not appear.
Therefore, everyone supported me, and some of them were speechless.
But I frowned slightly.
At this moment, a voice said softly: “The emperor and concubine, she is just unwell, so she can’t come today.”
As soon as I heard this voice, my spirit suddenly refreshed.
It was the Prince who was so deep in thought that he came.
The other concubines sitting in the Yihua Palace all got up to salute him, and the prince also saluted to them, and then everyone took their seats.
After sitting down for a while, the atmosphere was a bit cold again.
After the prince said that, he didn’t seem to know what to say, and the other concubines naturally couldn’t say anything after the prince arrived, so after sitting for a while, Ning Fei got up and left, the other concubines They all left after leaving.
When it was only me and Nianshen, he stood up again and walked in front of me.
“Imperial concubine …”
I heard him call it like this, with some voice, and said with a smile: “His Royal Highness Prince can still call me Aunt Qing if you like.”
He hesitated for a moment before whispering, “But etiquette cannot be forgotten.”
I smiled: “His Royal Highness has grown up too.”
He whispered, “I, I have grown up long ago, I am an adult.”
“…”
“Just Aunt Qing–“
With that, his voice was choked.
I know, looking at me like this, he couldn’t stand it.
The prince is indeed as said, his temperament is kind and tender, this is where Pei Yuanzhang has not been satisfied with him before, but since the world returned to unity, the prince of Renrou has visited the people several times and has a prestige among the people Extremely high, some people even said that after being a pilgrimage monarch, there will be a benevolent monarch in the future.
As a result, Pei Yuanzhang’s dissatisfaction with him also disappeared.
I beckoned to him and Nian Shen walked in front of me.
I reached out and took his sleeves, and gently touched his shoulders. His forehead found that the child was already very tall, and his thin body showed its flexibility, and he could no longer be said to be a child.
I smiled and said, “Sure enough, Your Highness has grown up.”
He was silent for a while before whispering softly: “Aunt Qing, don’t blame your mother. She has been worried in Xi’an before. She knew about Aunt Qing and she even cried for several nights. I think the mother now If I do n’t come to see you, I may be afraid to see each other sad. “
“…”
“Aunt Qing’s body can no longer be worn out.”
I listened to him and understood.
So she smiled and said, “In fact, I don’t blame the queen maiden at all. Her kindness and tenderness have always been for the sake of the overall situation, so Her Highness need not worry.”
Then he breathed a sigh of relief.
I said, “Have your Highness just returned today?”
“Yes.”
“I heard that you went to inspect the Yellow River again?”
“Yes, by the way, worshiping Lord Wu.”
When I heard the three words of Lord Wu, my heart was a little bit sour, and Nianshen said, “I have also gone to their house to see that Mrs. Yang is all right, and her children are also very good. She also said When the weather is fine, bring the child to the emperor to see. “
I smiled: “I’m afraid the child will grow too fast. I can’t wait.”
As soon as the voice fell, the bead curtain outside was shaken, making a small noise.
When hearing this, Nian Shen hurriedly turned back and bowed down, “Children and courtesy meet the Father.”
I heard Pei Yuanzhang slowly walked in, only looked down at him, and said, “You come to see your aunt Qing?”
“Yes.”
“Well, your aunt Qing is not in good health. Don’t let her worry too much, you go back.”
“Yes.”
Nian Shen didn’t dare to talk too much. He got up and gave a salute, then retreated.
I quietly listened to the sound of the bead curtain shaking, and the sound was mixed with his footsteps. It seemed very light, as if I was afraid of something.
I looked up at him.
He also looked down at me and said softly, “Your complexion is not very good, are you tired?”
“…”
“Go take a rest.”
After speaking, I reached out and took my hand.
“…”
I was silent and did not refuse. He stood up by holding him, bypassing the chair, and slowly walked to the inner room. He took me to the bedside, but he didn’t sit down, just squatting. Come down and look at me seriously.
He reached for a long strand of hair that dropped from my ear, and when he looked closely, it was almost completely white.
He said softly, “Are you tired?”
I said, “A bit.”
“Then rest.”
“…”
“He is here to guard you.”
“…”
“Relax, hey–“
“Your Majesty,” I interrupted him, looked at him quietly, and said, “I have one thing, I want to talk to Her Majesty.”
He was silent for a while and said, “Do you have to say it now?”
I smiled: “I’m afraid it won’t be too late.”
“…”
He was silent for a second, and then said, “You said, but you didn’t agree, it was a slapstick.”
I smiled again.
It seems that he has guessed that what I want to say is what he does not want to listen to.
I said calmly, “I have made this imperial concubine, and Xichuan and the Central Plains have also made it.”
“…”
“Tomorrow, I want to leave.”
His breath suffocated.
After a while, I heard his breath was heavy, with a bit of unspeakable depression, and said, “Are you leaving?”
“Correct.”
“What are you going to do?”
I thought about it and said, “I can do nothing and I can’t do it.”
“…”
“I just want to leave.”
“Since you can’t do anything and you can’t do it, why leave?”
“Why?” I tilted my head and looked at him: “Doesn’t Your Majesty know why?”
“…” His throat rattled, his hands rested on my knees, and the temperature of the palm was hot from almost through his shirt to my body. He said: “Liu Qinghan has gone It’s up! “
My breath was choked slightly.
Even with a smile on my face, of course I know that sometimes, laughter is no better than crying.
I took a deep breath and said, “Of course I know. Your Majesty told me the news.”
“…”
“Then why are you leaving ?!”
“I’m leaving, not for him.”
“…”
“I leave for my own sake.”
“…”
“My Majesty, I have been trapped for the rest of my life, either in the red wall or beside your brothers. Now, everything has been settled, and my responsibility has been completed.”
“…”
“I want to do something I want to do.”
“…”
“I want to leave here, I want freedom.”
“…”
“Your Majesty, please.”
He never spoke, just looked at me like this, his throat seemed to be blocked by something, and he made an uncomfortable sound.
I don’t know how long, he said dumbly, “If you aren’t allowed, then?”
