==Chapter 14 Xiao Yun==

Just after noon, light rain fell from the sky again, and the fog was hazy.

The bluestone road under my feet seemed to be coated with a layer of oil.

Qin Juan took Zhu Xin and walked towards Cining Palace.

Jingyang Palace is not close to Cining Palace. One is in the east and the other is in the west, with the entire Imperial Garden in between.

When passing by Kunning Palace, Qin Chan paused.

Red walls and yellow tiles, leaves falling on the steps, the scene remains the same.

The memory that left her breathless was pulled out in an instant.

As the sun sets and the moon rises, she seems to have returned to the first year of Yanxi. On the night of August 15th, she saw the **** handkerchief in Xu Shangyi's hand again...

That night, Kunning Palace was in chaos.

Xu Shangyi whispered in her ear, "My younger brother's name is Xu Bing. He is 19 this year and just joined the army last year. I have something to ask the queen. The 60,000 lives on the border of Sizhou, the Su family What are you going to pay for compensation?!"

She knew that someone must have instigated Xu Shangyi's behavior tonight, and she also understood that someone wanted to deliberately stimulate her.

But Xu Shangyi’s words also made her question herself.

Yes, now the plaque on the Zhenguo Palace is full of human blood, what can she pay for it?

To this day, she still can't figure out why her father, Su Jingbei, the general who made great military exploits and held a first-class official position in the Zhou Dynasty, committed treason.

When the news came from the governor of Langzhou, she believed that her father had been framed and that the Su family was unjustly accused.

Must be wronged.

But then, the Jin Yiwei found out evidence that the Su family collaborated with the enemy and treason. In the Zhenguo Palace, it should be said that it was his father's study, and a secret passage that had been built for ten years was discovered.

Secret passage.

With the evidence, fragmentary memories came one after another, making her shudder.

Ever since Mrs. Zhen Guogong passed away due to illness, Su Jingbei has not allowed Su Ling and Su Huaian to step into the study.

There is a hanging painting in the study, and the person in the painting is Su Yunshi.

Su Jingbei often sat in front of hanging paintings in a daze.

At first Su Ling thought it was because her father was infatuated with her mother, but later she realized that was not the case. Although there was no mistress in the Zhenguo Palace, there were plenty of nameless wives and concubines.

Silk and bamboo are pleasant to the ears, and red sleeves add fragrance.

I remember one time, probably on the eve of her marriage to Prince Jin's Mansion.

At that time, she always felt that her father, who was admired by everyone, was omnipotent. She didn't want to marry Xiao Yu, so she went to the study door and made trouble for half the night.

Although Su Jingbei's backyard was not clean, no other heirs were born. He could feel the pain of holding Su Ling in his hands.

However, that night, no matter what she said, Su Jingbei didn't come out.

She couldn't bear it anymore, so she pushed the door open and entered.

But there was no one inside.

With no one around, Su Ling could only close the door without moving.

She sat on the stone steps at the door and continued to wait, wait, and finally fell asleep like this.

Early the next morning, the door creaked open behind her, and Su Jingbei walked out of the study neatly dressed.

Seeing her fall to the ground, Su Jingbei smiled and said: "Aling, why are you still asleep here? Be careful of catching a cold and get up quickly."

She rubbed her eyes, half-squinted her eyes and said, "Dad, where did you go yesterday? How did you come out of the study?"

Su Jingbei was stunned and said: "You silly girl, what are you talking about so early in the morning? I just came from the east wing."

"Dong'erfang? Dad, why are you going to Dong'erfang?" She rubbed her temples and said, "Hey, Dad, my daughter has something to tell you."

Su Jingbei glared at her, "What are you talking about? Ah Ling, you say I owe you everything, but there is one thing. There is no negotiation about your marrying the King of Jin. No matter how many military exploits I have made, I am still a minister. Your father doesn't have the ability to resist."

Su Ling bit her lip and said with pitiful eyes: "What if my daughter is sick and not worthy of the prince?"

Su Jingbei laughed angrily and said, "Oh, you are ill and are not worthy of the King of Jin, so how can you be worthy of the boy from the He family? You are not allowed to mention your marriage in the future, and you are not allowed to mention it to your brother!"

She lowered her head, she gave up, and she returned to the room dejectedly.

As if nothing happened.

But she remembered very clearly that the door was opened behind her.

The sound of footsteps also sounded from behind her.

What I fear most is hindsight.

"What is the beauty looking at?" Zhu Xin asked.

Qin Juan regained consciousness, and everything in front of her was blown away by the wind like powder.

She stroked her heart and said casually: "I will inevitably be a little nervous when I see the Queen Mother. If I get lost later, you have to remind me."

Zhu Xin was stunned for a moment, then smiled, it should be.

At first, when Ning Shang Palace assigned her and Zhulan to Shulan Garden, he told her to pay attention to Qin Meiren's words and deeds, and to report anything suspicious to Eunuch Sheng.

But so many days have passed, in Zhu Xin’s view, there is nothing suspicious about Qin Meiren’s lack of a city palace and her generous manner.

Zhu Xin whispered: "Don't worry, beauty. The Queen Mother is kind to others and will never embarrass anyone."

"That's good." Qin Juan nodded and said, "By the way, do you know why the Queen Mother is ill?"

Zhu Xin replied: "The Taiyuan Hospital said that he suffered from wind and cold, but it is no longer serious."

Qin Juan wanted to ask if the eldest prince was raised under the Queen Mother's knees, but suddenly she remembered the warning from Chen Siji when she was in the Qin Mansion.

"Forgive me for not being able to answer this matter about the eldest prince. I also advise Miss Qin not to mention this to anyone else today."

"You will know when you are supposed to know. If you are not supposed to know, don't ask."

Qin Juan took a deep breath and continued to move forward.

Just wait, just wait.

We have already entered the palace, there is nothing we can’t wait for.

Half a moment later, they arrived at Cining Palace.

Every grass, flower, tree and stone along the way was exactly the same as in her memory.

True to what the Queen Mother said to her, "The scenery in this palace will never change, only the people living in this palace will change."

When I said this, it was still when the third concubine had just entered the palace.

She was not the only one waiting in front of Cining Palace, there were also newcomers Xu Shuyi and He Shuyi.

Qin Juan saluted the two of them, "I have seen Xu Shuyi and He Shuyi."

The two of them also said quickly: "Beauties don't need to be polite."

Xu Shuyi is wearing a lake blue satin skirt. Although she is not a stunning figure, she is still graceful.

He Shuyi standing next to Xu Shuyi, if she remembers correctly, she is the third girl of the He family. Her father is the Minister of Household Affairs, and her mother is the daughter of the Mu family. This status is not much better than that of Concubine Xue back then. let.

But judging from her soft eyes and light tone, her temper should not be as domineering as Xue Lanyi's.

After a while, the little **** ushered them into the main hall, and they could hear voices before they entered the door.

I think the third concubine has already arrived.

After the three of them entered the door, they all gave blessings and said, "I would like to pay my respects to the Queen Mother."

Then he greeted Concubine Xue, Concubine Liu and Concubine Li in turn.

The Queen Mother Chu smiled and said: "Hurry up, get up quickly, raise your head and let the Ai family take a look."

The words fell to the ground, and everyone's eyes fell on Qin Juan without a doubt.

The moment Qin Juan raised her eyes, the expression on the third concubine's face was as if she had seen a ghost.

Concubine Xue's eyes widened, Concubine Liu raised her hand to cover her mouth, Concubine Li had the biggest reaction, and the cup in her hand fell to the ground with a "clang".

Walked around in the center of the hall.

Even the usually calm Empress Dowager Chu was stunned.

Although I had been mentally prepared for it, no one could have guessed that it would be so similar.

It seems that when you see her, you will believe that there is such a thing as reincarnation in this world.

No wonder the emperor left Jiangxue Pavilion on the day of the draft.

The Queen Mother of Chu calmed down, smiled and said to Eunuch Zhang: "Hurry up and give me a seat."

The three people quickly said: "Thank you, Queen Mother."

After Qin Chan took her seat, except for Concubine Li who withdrew her gaze, Concubine Xue and Concubine Liu still looked at her.

Concubine Xue clenched her fists and looked at her intently.

The Queen Mother of Chu asked questions in turn.

After asking Xu Shuyi and He Shuyi, the Queen Mother looked at Qin Jing and said: "The Ai family heard that Miss Qin changed the courtyard this morning. Are you still used to it?"

Qin Juan stood up quickly and said: "Thank you, Queen Mother, for your concern. I am very accustomed to living with you."

Hearing this, Concubine Xue’s eyes became darker and darker.

Even the voices are so similar?

"That's good." Empress Dowager Chu rubbed her wrist and continued to smile: "If you have nothing to do in the future, you can often come to Ai's house to sit and sit. Speaking of which, this palace has been deserted for too long."

When mentioning the coldness, the Queen Mother Chu sighed in a dignified manner and said: "Your Majesty, your heir, the most important thing right now is to spread the branches and leaves of the royal family. This is the top priority in the palace."

The Queen Mother of Chu turned her head and said to Eunuch Zhang: "Go to the Taiyuan Hospital and let me know. Tomorrow, let Liu Yuanzheng ask for a safe pulse for the empresses in each palace."

The Queen Mother's words were undoubtedly an arrow piercing the third concubine's heart.

Qin Juan couldn't get a glimpse of the third concubine's heart, otherwise, she would probably hear any treasonous and arrogant words.

It was at this awkward moment that the little **** outside the door suddenly shouted: "Tiffany Sun has arrived——"

Taifei Sun?

Qin Huan turned around following the sound.

In this harem, her relationship with Concubine Sun is far better than that of the Queen Mother.

There is no other reason. Concubine Sun is the biological mother of the eldest princess Changning. If nothing had happened to the Zhenguo Palace back then, Su Huaian would have been the consort and the son-in-law of Concubine Sun.

Thinking of this, Qin Juan's heart tightened.

Will Yun'er...

The little **** then said: "The eldest prince has arrived——"

Qin Juan’s eyes did not change, and there was a smile on her lips, but she was trembling everywhere.

Not long after, Concubine Sun was seen leading a little man and walking in through the door.

Taifei Sun has always been in poor health. She coughed twice before saying, "Greetings to the Queen Mother."

The Queen Mother of Chu said: "Why do we need these false gifts between you and me? Sit down quickly."

Taifei Sun hooked the palm of the eldest prince's hand and said, "Yun'er, please give my regards to the Queen Mother."

The eldest prince is dressed in a robe with a cross-collar with four cloud patterns and a white jade crown on his head. He is fair and fair, with eyes like his mother's and edges and corners like his father's.

Qin Juan could recognize this as her child at a glance.

Xiao Yun walked up to the Queen Mother step by step, folded her hands, pursed her lips tightly, and gave a grand salute to the Queen Mother Chu.

But he didn't speak.

Didn't even say "My grandson sends greetings to the Queen Mother."

However, the Queen Mother didn't take it seriously at all. She just waved her hand lovingly and said: "Come on, Yun'er, let Aijia see if you have grown taller again."

Xiao Yun walked over with his eyes downcast, not getting close to anyone. The alienation in his eyes was exactly the same as that of his father.

The Queen Mother of Chu touched his little face and said, "The Ai family heard that your father hired Taifu Yao as your teacher. Can you use it recently?"

Xiao Yun nodded.

The Queen Mother Chu smiled and said: "That's good."

The Queen Mother then asked him many questions. Xiao Yun either nodded or shook his head, but never said a word.

Qin Juan’s heart was full of doubts.

I was even more confused as to why no one had the same confusion as her.

Half an hour later, the Queen Mother waved her hand and said she was tired and wanted to rest, and everyone stood up one after another.

Taifei Sun said to the eldest prince: "Yun'er, let's go."

Xiao Yun walked over step by step and put his hand in Mrs. Sun's hand. The child was only three years old and very small. He should not be able to see Qin Juan, but there seemed to be a thread pulling him back. One look.

The eyes just met.

Xiao Yun stopped, turned around, and came face to face with Qin Juan. He looked at her for a long time with his dark eyes.

Only then did Concubine Sun meet Qin Juan’s eyes.

I covered my mouth subconsciously.

Then thinking of the recent rumors in the palace, Concubine Sun asked: "Is this Beauty Qin?"

Qin Juan stood up and said, "I have met the concubine."

"Excuse me." Concubine Sun breathed slightly, looked down at Xiao Yun and said: "Yun'er, let's go."

Xiao Yun walked to the door and looked back again.

I heard Mrs. Sun whisper again: "Yun'er, she's not, she's gone."

On the way back, Qin Juan asked Zhu Xin in a low voice, "The eldest prince... why didn't he speak just now? But he was sick?"

Zhu Xin sighed, as if he had expected that Qin Meiren would ask this question, and said in a very low voice: "It's not that the eldest prince doesn't want to speak, it's that he can't speak."

Qin Chan paused and frowned: "What do you mean you can't speak?"

"Speak down, beauty." Zhu Xin took Qin Juan's arm and said, "This is a taboo in the palace. No one can mention it. I told you this. Please don't ask again in the future. It's too hospital. It is said that the eldest prince had a strange disease in his mother's womb and has not spoken for three years. He should be mute."

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Ling was stunned on the spot.

Zhu Xin asked in confusion: "What's wrong with the beauty?"

Qin Juan raised the corner of her mouth and said softly: "It's okay."
