Chapter 24 Chapter One

The glazed heavy tiles carved with jade and carved gold illuminate the row of chrysanthemums in front of the window, and the sun falls on them, seeming bright and dark. At this moment, Hengtai stared intently at the piles of fans, thinking of Liancheng in a daze.Liancheng's smiling appearance is just so charming.A smile slowly formed on his lips, and for a moment he completely forgot that he was still waiting in the side hall of Kunning Palace.Today's letter from the palace was actually summoned by the queen, and at this time, even though he hadn't seen the queen, doubts arose in his heart.

"Hengtai." The bead curtain was opened lightly, and a peaceful and quiet sound came from a distance. Hearing the sound, Hengtai raised his head, and saw the queen coming slowly from the side hall.The empress, who had shed her cumbersome court clothes, now walked a little lightly, her eyes were peaceful, and she was more inviting than before.The queen took a few steps to sit on the warm couch, took the new tea handed over by the palace man with plain hands, took a few sips, and said in a calm voice, "The palace summoned you today, do you know why?" Hearing the words, Hengtai bowed his body and said, "I don't know what the empress said."

The queen glanced at Hengtai quietly, and smiled slowly: "It's nothing serious, just gossip." With a slight lift of his hand, Yun Hengtai stood up and gave him a seat. After Hengtai sat down firmly, she seemed to remember something again, her eyes flickered and said: "By the way, I read a poem a few days ago, and it was really interesting. What is near to far, deep to shallow Qingxi, as high as tomorrow, the sun and the moon..." The queen said, but suddenly stopped, "This last sentence, I just forgot." When the voice was opened again, the queen had frozen Hengtai, and said with deep meaning: "Hengtai, you are both civil and military, remember?"

Hengtai's heart tightened slightly, he clenched the teacup tightly, and said quietly: "Returning to the empress's words, this is Li Jilan's "Eight Zhi" poem in the Tang Dynasty. The last line presumably is 'close relatives, dearest husband and wife'." "Yes! Husbands and wives with close relatives and distant relatives—" the queen raised her voice sharply, and then her smile became heavier. "This poem is very well written. The more flat the first three lines are, the more peaky the last line will be." Saying, His eyes turned to Hengtai, and he didn't move for a moment, and his voice added a bit of loneliness, "Oh, since Fuxi and Nuwa got married, there are as many couples in this world as there are sands in the Ganges River. There is no one in a million. It is true that a husband and wife can be like glue and swear to live and die together, but they can also turn against each other and become enemies..."

Hearing this, Hengtai already understood that Xiang Zhuang's sword dance was aimed at Peigong, and the empress wanted to intervene about him and Xingdai.He raised his eyes helplessly, and it was Sui Ju who was smiling brightly under the sun.Liancheng, Liancheng, countless emotions rolled in my heart, and the Queen's voice in my ears became farther and farther away: "The love and hate in this are subtle, and the depth of love is hard to say. You have to go through the sea before you can guide the sail, but sometimes you can't help it." Passing through the sea, but discovering that Shaohua is not there, it seems like a lifetime away."

The cup of tea in his hand was completely cold before he took half a sip.Hengtai's eyes trembled, his nostalgic gaze swept over the clusters of chrysanthemums for the last time, and he closed his eyes slightly.He was not afraid of the queen's meddling, even if everyone in the world came to intervene, and everyone wanted to stop him and Liancheng, he was not afraid at all.It's just... Liancheng, he is no longer willing to let her suffer any more harm for him.Even the slightest harm to Liancheng is like a thousand arrows piercing his heart. "Empress Empress..." A weak moan escaped from Hengtai's mouth.

Up to now, she knew that as smart as Hengtai, she would not be ignorant of her deep meaning.But she didn't seem to hear it, instead she raised her voice a little bit, becoming more and more anxious as she spoke: "Of course, couples in this world have their own difficulties, but after thousands of years of cultivation, being able to sleep together is also a kind of rare thing. What's more, the husband and wife are of the same heart, and the family business is prosperous, which is related to the foundation of a family's survival, so how can it be treated lightly?" "What the empress said is very true, Hengtai understands." Again, Hengtai made a sound, raised his head to look at the queen.Don't, never hurt Liancheng again.At this moment, his heart was completely quiet, and only this voice crossed his heart.

"You..." The queen sighed, her voice was slightly heavier, "I don't understand!" After finishing speaking, he raised his hand and ordered the servants in the palace to disperse.When she and Hengtai were alone in the hall, she showed a tired and helpless look.How come she doesn't know, why doesn't she understand the so-called love between a child and a daughter, your love and my wish, just at that moment, she has seen all the struggle and confusion in his eyes, and even saw in his eyes The shadow of the city.It's a pity that the fate of Xingdai, Liancheng, and Hengtai entangled the three of them like an evil fate. She couldn't see clearly whether the three of them walked together in this love journey. up.

"Ever since the emperor handed over Princess Xingdai and Princess Xingdai to you, have you ever given people peace of mind for half a day? Xingdai has repeatedly entered the palace and shed tears, saying that your husband and wife are not on good terms, that you... have a new love—" Dan Qian gently rubbed her forehead with her long fingers, and the queen sighed softly, "Originally, I don't want to take care of these children's affairs, but after all, Xingdai is a princess, and she is also a proud daughter of heaven. If you want to take a concubine, I will take care of it." You don't care, but if you wake up Dai and suffered too much grievance, I will not obey you!"

When the queen's voice fell, Hengtai was already on his knees: "I am guilty, please punish the empress." "I don't mean to punish you, today I'm just chatting with you, get up!" The queen's face faded a bit, her voice became calm, and her smile became tinged. The Queen refuses to be punished!Not only was there no trace of relief, Hengtai only pulled his heart even tighter, not afraid that the queen would punish him, only afraid that those two words would be uttered by the queen. "Family affairs have been the most difficult to resolve since ancient times, and the emperor can't control them. My palace has a way - since that woman named Liancheng has become an obstacle between you, why not get rid of her first?"

Liancheng!Ever since the queen uttered these two words, Hengtai held his breath nervously.Before the empress could finish speaking, he knelt down again, staring at the empress firmly: "Empress! All this has nothing to do with Liancheng! It's all the fault of the minister! Please punish the empress!" The queen frowned slightly, and she never said what she wanted to do with Liancheng, but seeing him so cautious and nervous, she laughed and sighed in her heart, but she was really worried about Xingdai.The soft sleeves slowly slid past the tea table, the empress stepped on the couch, walked out of the window step by step, stopped in front of the Suiju, raised her hand to caress the glistening balls, smiled slightly, and said solemnly: "From today From now on, it is rumored that Liancheng will enter the palace and let her stay with me for a period of time. It can not only teach her some rules, but also give you and Xingdai time to get along well-when the relationship between your husband and wife becomes very good, I will tell you about this Liancheng sent it back." "Empress Empress." Heng Tai subconsciously wanted to refuse, but saw that the Empress's face was solemn at this time, and she did not allow a trace of disobedience. "Don't blame Bengong, I also have good intentions." The queen turned around from Suiju and glanced at Hengtai.Xing Dai is the emperor's most beloved princess, if this young couple continues to quarrel for a long time, one day the emperor will be furious, how can the Fucha family bear it?Thinking of this, he said even more seriously, "As a man, one must not only have affection and love, but also be loyal and filial—Hengtai, you are a sensible person, and you should know the stakes." Love, loyalty and filial piety. Will it be impossible to have both? "I understand." With difficulty, Hengtai closed his eyes lightly, and seemed to have let go of all the strength in his body, and kowtowed to the queen in a trance, "I would like to obey Yi's order." After saying that, the world suddenly fell silent again, Hengtai no longer remembered what the queen's last satisfied smile looked like, let alone what the queen said when he left the palace, it seemed to be a sentence... a child can be taught.Heartbroken, Hengtai laughed at himself, he couldn't even save his beloved woman, it was in vain for him to have both civil and military skills, he might not be as good as a child. The vermilion tile wall, looking up, it takes a lot of effort to see the blue sky in the distance. Coming out of Kunning Palace, Hengtai walked down the long corridor.His pace today was extremely slow, as if he wanted to see the entire Forbidden City.As soon as you enter the palace gate, it's as deep as the sea, the Forbidden City is so big, the palace walls are so high, and the blue sky is so far away, you don't know the city... The eyes are full of vermilion, and the bottom of the eyes are even colder, until the familiar figure from the palace gate bumps into my eyes little by little. , the eyes that looked straight up were instantly stiff, the steps were cold and hazy, and he seemed to see the gorgeous Suiju again, the Suiju that belonged to her—— Liancheng... That's not Suiju, and it's not Phantom. It is indeed Liancheng. At this time, the palace guards of Kunning Palace followed behind her, she must have received the queen's order.Hengtai's heart ached, and he couldn't take another step, so he just stared blankly at Liancheng who was coming slowly.The clear sunlight surrounds her behind, covering her with a layer of dazzling golden halo, and the tiny petals that come with the wind hang down on her skirt. Not far away, the figure in the scarlet robe seemed to have seen him too, and he also paused. For a long time, both of them stopped. "Master Heng—" the palace servant behind urged him softly, and Hengtai finally came back to his senses, and walked forward with difficulty. He, went from east to west; she, came from west to east. There are guards behind him; there are palace attendants by her side. Liancheng's figure had already walked a few steps away from him, and the autumn water was full of words, which could only stop between his lips.It is not a narrow corridor, but at this moment, there is no room for two people to look at each other, and there is no room for a few words of care. "Hengtai." Microsoft said softly, so familiar. Hengtai, who had deliberately looked away, shuddered all over and didn't move. He just turned his eyes quietly, watching Liancheng Yubu, who almost passed by, move lightly, and turned in front of him. Under the surprised gazes of all the palace people, Liancheng walked very calmly and resolutely. "Hengtai." The red lips parted slightly, and she called out again, "I—" Hengtai covered his lips with his index finger, beckoning her to keep quiet, looked at her with complicated eyes, and said with pity: "Don't say anything. I know everything. Now that the matter is like this, you should serve the empress in the palace well. Remember Stop, don't cause trouble." Then she nodded firmly, and comforted her, "Don't worry, I will definitely pick you up in a short time." "Hengtai." Liancheng bit his lip, wishing to lock his eyes on the person in front of him forever, and couldn't help asking, "Are you really assured that I'm here? Are you not afraid that I will be like Xiaoxue at that time?" "No." Hengtai cut off her words abruptly, in order to avoid the eyeliners around him, he had to lower his voice, "After all, you were appointed by the Empress this time, and you have an appointment with me, Empress Empress You have always been holy and kind, so don't think too much - just enter Kunning Palace!" As he said that, he gritted his teeth and made up his mind, without looking at Liancheng again, he strode straight towards the palace gate.The more he walked, the more anxious he was, the more he walked, the more pain in his heart, as if someone had dug a hole in his heart, it was just so empty, no blood, no tears, it was empty, almost numb from the pain. "Boom—" A muffled sound came from behind her, and Hengtai was stunned suddenly. Looking back urgently from the sound, she saw Liancheng kneeling in the corridor, the wind ruffled her forehead hair, and the sun fell on her eyebrows, shining brightly. Looking at the eyes that are as bright as water.She slowly pulled the corners of her mouth, and a smile spread.She was actually smiling at this moment, so peacefully and peacefully. Hengtai was impatient, and staggered forward, but his outstretched hand trembled after struggling in every possible way. "Liancheng, what are you doing? Get up!" Thousands of feelings and words can only be turned into this helpless and distressed urgent call. "Master Heng, no matter what, I thank you for all the kindness you have done to Liancheng. Even though the palace is as deep as the sea, Liancheng will always miss your kindness to me." She smiled brightly, "Regardless of life or death, I will never forget it in my life." She just wanted to thank him, but she was afraid... maybe there would be no chance in the future... "Don't worry! Nothing will happen——" Heng Tai suddenly felt distressed, and he couldn't hear any more words about life and death from her mouth. He nodded heavily at her, and said in the last extremely firm voice, "Remember, there is me!" Liancheng just smiled and looked at him, as if he had firmly put his words in his heart.She bowed down, bowed to him, stood up resolutely, tears of joy slipped down her lips when she turned around.There was no fear for a while, she seemed to have a great strength, enough to face the strange Forbidden City, face the unknown everything that was about to face... The word "Queen" is both familiar and unfamiliar to Liancheng. After kneeling for a long time, Liancheng began to glance at the Queen's figure quietly. In Liancheng's thoughts, the queen has always been such a graceful and dignified existence, high above the main hall.However, today, when she met with the queen, the queen was actually sitting on the warm kang, and her face was somewhat serious and aloof, as she leaned on the tea table and calmly read the expense book handed by the inner palace, her expression was even more revealing Wisdom wise. Finally, the queen put down the notebook in her hand, and turned her gaze to Liancheng: "Liancheng, get up." In a word, no joy and no anger. Liancheng got up as he said, but saw the queen motioning her to take a few steps forward: "Come here, hold out your hand." Liancheng moved cautiously, and greeted the queen's bed, stretched out his wrists apprehensively, lowered his head slightly, not daring to look directly at the queen. The queen took Liancheng's wrist, looked carefully, raised her eyes from time to time to look at Liancheng's face, looked at Liancheng's face for a long time, finally nodded, and put Liancheng's wrist: "Yeah. These hands are extremely beautiful, fair and tender. Slippery, slender and dexterous, soft and boneless to the touch, not bad!" Although the queen spoke nice words, Liancheng felt chills when he heard them.It is expected that the queen will be angry because of Xingdai, so she wants to cut off her hand as a warning?Thinking of this, I felt chills all over my body, and my palms were clenched in cold sweat. The queen seemed to have seen through her careful thinking, raised her eyebrows, and added: "Since you have such a good hand, then you must know how to comb your hair?" Liancheng breathed out, feeling relieved, but he really didn't understand what the empress was thinking, so he shook his head bravely: "Back to empress empress, I have seen people comb their hair well, but I can't... " The queen gave a "hmm" and asked after pondering, "Nvhong embroidery, do you think it's a good job?" Liancheng shook his head again: "Going back to the empress, the women of the people have never done embroidery, and they can't do it even if they think about it." The queen frowned slightly, and sighed: "Then you can do such simple things as grinding rouge and stamping incense seals, right?" Liancheng wrinkled his face in embarrassment, and shook his head again: "Go back to the empress, these folk girls have never even heard of it, let alone know how to do it." Sent back to the Empress Empress one sentence at a time, shaking her head one sentence at a time.The queen was already displeased, and said coldly: "It's a pity that you also came out of the mansion, but it's just some daily housework, you won't do this, you won't do that, then what will you do?" His eyes moved to Liancheng's face again, his expression Turning cold, "Since you don't know how to do it, it's no wonder you only make waves!" The words hit Liancheng hard in the heart, Liancheng was wronged, and hurriedly interjected: "Your Majesty! I am not such a person!" The queen is the lord of the six palaces, and she has never seen anyone who can cut off her own words.The little girl's reckless interjection caused the queen to startle slightly, and looked at Liancheng suspiciously. "Although Liancheng was born in a brothel, not a princess, nor a daughter of a thousand gold, but in his mother's place, he was raised as a precious child." Liancheng blushed, looked at the queen eagerly, and blurted out, "Heavy work is not allowed. Hi, you don’t need to learn complicated handicrafts. I meet friends every day and joke around. Others think I don’t know anything, but my mother sees me as good at everything. Liancheng can cook, wash clothes, sing, and do it in the dyeing workshop She is good at work, treats her friends well, and loves to help, and she is not too stupid, if the queen needs Liancheng to learn something, Liancheng should study hard!" "What a sharp mouth!" The empress said harshly, "I'm just talking about you, how dare you say so much in front of me." At this moment, Liancheng realized that he was talking too fast, so he lowered his head again, secretly watching the queen's expression from time to time. The queen no longer looked at her, and she felt that Liancheng, who was arrogant and arrogant, was a bit strange in front of her. Hearing her talk about being a parent and licking a calf, there was some truth in it.After the surroundings became quiet for a moment, the queen took another breath and raised her voice slowly: "A person like you is always justified, right?" Lian Cheng didn't have time to shake his head, so he heard the queen continue to say: "Okay! Since you have entered Kunning Palace today, you can't let you come here for nothing... Qin Xiang! Take her to the maid's room and tell her to study hard. Royal rules!" "Yes." A reply came from behind the curtain. Liancheng's eyes widened, and he stared curiously at the palace man called "Qin Xiang" who was walking across from him.I saw that she was older than the other palace people, her plain face showed no emotion, her eyes were blank, like a living dead without joy or anger. Not caring about Liancheng's scrutiny, Qin Xiang slightly raised his eyes, and said coldly to Liancheng: "Miss Liancheng, please follow me into the maid's room." After retreating from Kunning Palace, Lian Cheng followed behind Qin Xiang all the way.This Aunt Qin moved so fast that Liancheng almost couldn't catch up with her.Turning from Kunning Palace all the way to the west, entering the West Palace, and then passing through the long corridor, passing through the southwest corner of the Imperial Garden, and then crossing the two incense halls. Added a few traces of bleakness and simplicity. Qin Xiang led Liancheng to stop in front of a gate.Lian Cheng peeked into the garden, and saw that the inner garden was a small courtyard with houses built on all sides.Qin Xiang just stopped, explained to the guards in front of the gate, and then led Liancheng in. As soon as he stepped in, he heard the voice of the palace people chanting in the courtyard from a distance, Liancheng followed Qin Xiang through the front porch, and heard the voice of chanting coming and going, intermittently, babbling —— "Yin and yang are different, and men and women are different. Yang regards strength as virtue, yin as softness, men regard strength as precious, and women regard weakness as beauty. However, there is no respect in self-cultivation, and obedience in avoiding strength. Therefore, the way of respect and obedience, It is also a great gift for a woman. If a husband does not respect it, it is said to be persistent; if a husband is obedient, it is called affluence. If it is long-lasting, it is enough to know and stop; if it is affluent, it is called respect..." Liancheng vaguely heard that the palace people seemed to be reciting "The Commandments for Women".In the past, I also heard that the writing of "Women's Commandments" is the most complicated, and the words are difficult to pronounce, not memorizing, but just reciting. For these little palace people, it must be miserable.Sure enough, when he entered the courtyard of the middle hall, he saw the palace people sitting around the courtyard, frowning bitterly, racking their brains to recite. Qin Xiang, who was silent all the way, didn't even look at Liancheng at this time, and told Liancheng coldly: "From today on, you will follow them and memorize various articles on female virtues." Liancheng nodded in response, looking around the other scenes in the courtyard curiously.Just Qin Xiang turned around at this time, seeing her so bold and curious, her face became even colder, coughed, and said directly: "I think you just don't understand these saintly rules and ways of a virtuous woman, that's why you become a woman." I don’t understand any rules, and I don’t talk about them. Since the Empress has entrusted you to me, then I will naturally get rid of the root cause and treat both the symptoms and the root causes.” Lian Cheng curled his lips, and didn't reply, he just restrained himself a little, and let her talk about himself. "Aren't you smart and eager to learn?" Qin Xiang stepped up to the stone bridge in front of the corridor, looking at Liancheng from the railing, still expressionless, "Okay! Within today, you must memorize these three articles, otherwise , be careful of the boards in the palace, that's no joke!" With the order, even the palace people who were chanting in the courtyard couldn't help but put down the "Women's Commandment" in their hands, and their sympathetic eyes shot to Liancheng standing in the corridor.With Qin Xiang's wink, they all lowered their heads obediently.Seeing this, Liancheng also understood that Aunt Qin was really a powerful person, and she simply recognized her with a wink, and sent Qin Xiang away with a smile on her face. When Qin Xiang turned his head away, he stuck out his tongue at Qin Xiang's back. "Just carry it!" Liancheng murmured secretly, and when he turned around, he was surrounded by palace people full of courtyards. The palace people in this courtyard are all young palace ladies who committed crimes in various palaces and were punished to come here to learn the rules.Seeing Qin Xiang leave now, these palace people dropped their books, thinking that she was the one who made a mistake in some palace, so they surrounded Liancheng, one by one, chirping, chattering, so lively. - "You are new here!" ——"You are miserable! These three "Women's Commandments" are so difficult to memorize! We have memorized them for three to five days, and we have read them to death, and we can't memorize them no matter what!" ——"Aunt Qin Xiang wants you to recite it within a day, how is that possible?" ——"Hurry up and sit down and read together. If you memorize a paragraph, you can always save yourself from the board." "Stop!" Liancheng gestured to them to calm down, picked up the three articles from their hands, and after a few glances, he had a flash of inspiration, looked at the people in the palace and said, "Everyone! After reading it back and forth, everyone is dizzy, and even if they read it for another hundred days, they may not be able to recite it." After some words, the palace people all nodded their heads and frowned. "It's better like this, let's play a game." Liancheng smiled, raised the article in his hand suddenly, and said loudly, "I promise, after the game is over, everyone can memorize all three articles !" Ever since Liancheng entered the palace, Hengtai trapped himself in the garden to fight boxing and practice swords. He didn't eat or drink, he didn't speak a word, as if desperately trying to get through with his own body.After a few hours, my shirt was soaked with sweat, I was in a trance, almost collapsed.Thinking that the imperial palace is the deepest and most terrifying place in the world, if Liancheng's mind is pure, it must be extremely dangerous.However, if Liancheng stayed in the mansion for a day, he would always think about the things she would have with Jiang Yichen, and he couldn't let it go, he was a million times uncomfortable.Comparing the two, he would rather Liancheng stay in the palace.That Jiang Yichen was just a thorn, a thorn he couldn't get rid of even with all his might! With a bang, a heavy fist landed fiercely on the pine tree in front of him, the veins on his forehead bulged, Hengtai closed his eyes tightly, his exhaustion could not cover up the unspeakable pain, he raised his fist again, and before he could drop it, he let himself go The people behind are firmly trapped. "Stop it! Hengtai!" Fujin hugged Hengtai, holding his wounded fist, tears streaming down his face.She had just heard Guo Xiao say that Hengtai wished to exhaust herself to death, so she rushed here in a hurry, seeing Hengtai so ignorant of cherishing her body, she felt even more distressed. "Hengtai, you have to think about Er Niang. I am only a son like you, how did you become like this? Is it really worth it for a woman?" does it worth…… Hengtai smiled coolly, and tears filled his face: "The imperial palace is dangerous, I don't want to go to the palace. But, but! When she is in the mansion for a day, I always think that she will get mixed up with that Jiang Yichen. Every time I think about it, Since then, my heart has been cut like a rope, and there are a million uncomfortable feelings in my heart!" As he said that, Heng Tai suddenly pulled out his wrist from Fujin's hand, and punched straight down, one punch after another, causing the pine needles to fall down one after another, half of his body fell, and blood was already dripping between the two punches.But he seemed to feel no pain, and kept saying: "Thinking of this, I would rather let her enter the palace! Er Niang! I have made an oath with Lian Chengshan, and I should know that she believes her, but Jiang Yichen is like a hard thorn It sticks in my heart, making me doubt Liancheng, and sometimes even hate her! Er Niang, I'm a despicable person! I hate myself!" "Hengtai——" Fujin called out urgently, helping Hengtai staggered to his knees, she hugged Hengtai's knees, her heart felt like a knife was twisted, every blow of Hengtai seemed to hit herself, for a moment , burst into tears, "If you continue to be mad and depressed like this, you will undoubtedly kill Erniang! I heard from Erniang that you are not mean, you are the most kind and upright child, you just fell in love with a girl, You just have no choice, you are in a dilemma..." "I promised Liancheng that I would take care of her for the rest of my life. If something happens to her, I will never live in this world!" Hearing this, Fujin was shocked, and hurriedly shook Hengtai, wishing to wake him up: "Liancheng will be fine! You listen to Er Niang, she will be fine! Why are you so confused, my son? Do you think Thinking about it, the empress summoned Liancheng into the palace, for whom exactly?!" After asking, Hengtai was stunned, his eyes fixed on Fujin hesitantly, and his words were stuck in his throat, making it difficult to swallow.Although the queen summoned Liancheng to enter the palace, what did she mean by Liancheng?The queen only hoped that she could treat Xingdai kindly, as for Liancheng, it was just a little pressure, not intentional harm.The queen is so smart, how can she not know that she and Liancheng have a deep and deep love, if something happens to Liancheng, he will definitely turn her anger to wake up Dai. Seeing that he has calmed down, Fujin comforted him a little more, and said calmly: "What will happen if you took care of Xingdai in the past?" After being enlightened, Hengtai suddenly woke up. "If Er Niang was you, from now on, keep silent about Liancheng, just blindly flatter this princess in the family. After all, she is your wife, whether it is sincere or routine." Fujin leaned close to Hengtai's ear , lowering her voice extremely low, "As long as the Empress thinks that the relationship between your husband and wife is already very good, then Liancheng will no longer be able to pose a threat to the princess's status, so what's the point of keeping her in captivity, won't she be released? ?” At this point, if he cares more crazily and is more excited, the queen will only feel that Liancheng is a great threat to Xingdai. At that time, in order to completely cut off his thoughts, Liancheng's life may not be saved. . Hengtai turned to stare at Fujin, and spoke clearly and firmly: "My son understands, my son knows what to do!" Fujin stared at Hengtai, and nodded heavily to him. Forbearance, why don't you stick that sharp knife horizontally in your heart.But only by enduring it for a while can you win a lifetime! In just one night, the maid's room changed. The palace people, who were still frowning yesterday, were already facing the inspection of the queen and Qin Xiang in high spirits.The phoenix chariot stopped outside the maid's room, and Liancheng led the palace people to kneel at the front, meeting the queen's inquiring gaze with a smile. "You said, not only you, but even the entire court has memorized the "Women's Commandments"?" The queen was dubious, looked at Liancheng, and frowned slightly. Liancheng responded, then turned to the palace servants behind him, and gestured: "Girls, one two three—" Driven by Liancheng, a melodious singing sounded immediately above the courtyard of the palace lady's room-"Yin and Yang are different, men and women are different... Yang uses strength as virtue, yin uses softness... Men regard strength as the most precious, Women consider weakness to be beautiful...there is no respect for self-cultivation, and no obedience for avoiding the strong...so it is said that the way of respect and obedience is the great gift of women...the husband's respect is not it, and the long-lasting is also...the husband's obedience is not it, but the generosity It is also called... the persistent one is content; the rich one is respectful..." Liancheng liked to sing since she was a child. She remembered that she had to sing even when she was a child. On the contrary, she found it difficult to write a lot of words on paper, but if her mother taught her to sing, she could quickly memorize them. Since then, she has discovered , The rhythm of the singing voice is helpful for memory.So she compiled the three articles into three ballads with distinct rhythms, and the maids sang them along with the rhyme. Remember. Sure enough, the palace people sang the three articles in one breath, and even half a word was not bad. "Who taught you to sing these articles?" Qin Xiang asked them after the palace people quieted down. "It's Liancheng. She taught us to memorize the rhythm by singing, and then it's much faster to memorize." There was a weak response from the crowd, which caused the queen to fix her eyes on Liancheng. The queen smiled, and asked Liancheng curiously, "How did you come up with this idea?" Liancheng quickly responded: "The rhythm of singing is good for memory, Liancheng just taught everyone this method." The queen nodded, stood up slowly from the phoenix chariot, and walked down with the support of Qin Xiang, stopped in front of Liancheng, and smiled slightly: "You are so smart." When she turned around, she was already facing everyone The palace man raised his voice, "But--the ancients said it well, read the book a hundred times, and you will see its meaning. Asking you to recite the book is not just memorizing the text, but asking you to understand the truth in the article. Like this A little trick, remembering words for a while, although it is not difficult, but it is getting farther and farther away from the original intention of those sages! In the future, you still have to read more and memorize, you understand!" With such a word, the palace servant who was still elated just now hastily suppressed his joy, and his muffled voice should be true. "Since you know your shortcomings, you must curb your impetuosity." The queen smiled, looked at the crowd and said, "We believe in Buddhism in the Qing Dynasty, and I like to read "Forty-two Chapters" the most. From today , you can make a thousand copies of it!" After finishing speaking, he suppressed his smile, turned around and got on the chariot, and walked away. When the queen's phoenix chariot gradually drifted away, all the courtiers collapsed to the ground like deflated balls, moaning and complaining that Liancheng had caused them to copy a thousand copies of the "Forty-two Chapters".Compared with memorizing articles, a bad memorization is nothing more than a punishment on the board, but copying Buddhist scriptures a thousand times, even if you break your hand, you may not be able to do the job. Liancheng was not in a hurry, let them vent their anger, and then said slowly: "Look at how scared you are! Isn't it just Buddhist scriptures? I'll take care of everything!" The palace people didn't believe it, they waved their hands again and again, wanting Liancheng not to talk nonsense, how could she copy it all by herself. copy? ! Liancheng smiled, with a hint of cunning between her brows, did she say copying? "Could it be that you know magic spells?" A little palace maid resentfully interjected. Liancheng laughed even bigger, she doesn't know spells, but she has printing skills. White wax, leather paper, rollers, bamboo sticks, ink, palace gauze. After a while, Liancheng found these objects and piled them on the table.The palace people immediately surrounded Liancheng, none of them could understand what Liancheng was doing. Liancheng was not in a hurry, drank water and ate fruit slowly, and then answered everyone's questions: "First, bake the parchment to heat up, and spread the white wax evenly on it. After the wax solidifies, the parchment will become a thin piece of wax." Then we used bamboo sticks to write the "Forty-two Chapters" on the wax board. Where the bamboo sticks carved the words, the wax was scratched off. The roller rolls the ink up, and it can be printed on paper!" With this method, if you only print three or two copies, it is really troublesome, but if you print thousands of copies, it will definitely save time and effort.Moreover, the printed paper is all cooked Xuan, which is made by the palace people themselves, and the printed fonts will also be different, mixed together, if you don't look carefully, you won't be able to see the clues. The palace people were not at ease at first, but after making a few copies according to Liancheng's method, they became more comfortable and faster, and "copied" a thousand copies of Buddhist scriptures in just one day. At night, the palace people who had been busy all day were so excited that they couldn't sleep. Everyone in the bedroom surrounded Liancheng and praised her as the unstoppable Liancheng.Liancheng has always liked excitement among the people since he was a child, and when he encountered such a scene, he was even more excited, so he simply asked the palace people to tell the things he encountered outside the palace that were more impressive than this copying of Buddhist scriptures. It was very late at night, and while everyone was laughing and laughing, they could faintly hear coughing from the next door. Liancheng was talking excitedly, when he heard the voice, he couldn't help but calm down, and asked around who was coughing. Everyone lowered their heads and silenced their voices, and finally someone couldn't help but respond: "It's Aunt Qin Xiang." After Liancheng heard this, he jumped up from the bed, put on his long clothes and was about to push the door out, but was stopped by other palace people, who advised him to do one thing more than one thing less.Liancheng still insisted, she put on her clothes and left the house alone, went to the door of Qin Xiang's house with the horn lamp in her hand, knocked on the door, and called "Aunt Qin Xiang" a few times, but there was no response from anyone. The coughing from the bedroom was louder. Liancheng was impatient, so he simply pushed the door open and entered.He saw Qin Xiang draped over the bed, coughing badly, half lying in front of the bed curtain, unconscious.Seeing that she was so seriously ill, Liancheng wanted to find the imperial physician, but Qin Xiang grabbed her. "We court ladies, how can we see an imperial physician! It's against the rules!" In this palace, the imperial physicians have always only treated the masters, and could not inquire about the illnesses of the servants.But Liancheng didn't care about this, she only knew that Aunt Qin Xiang was so ill that if she couldn't be treated, something would happen. "If you say it's not going to work... then... if it's not going to work, go away! Don't bother with me..." Cold sweat dripped down, Qin Xiang clenched Liancheng tightly and insisted. Liancheng's heart tightened, she couldn't find an imperial doctor, so she decided to take care of Qin Xiang by herself.She supported Qin Xiang to lie down, and after a while, she wrung out two towels from the basin in front of the bed, one of which was hung on the head of the bed, and the other wiped Qin Xiang's face.I still remember my mother taking care of me like this when I was a child.When Liniang was alive, she often said that winter in the capital is extremely dry, which can easily cause people to cough. If you hang a wet towel on it, it can moisturize and dry it. After a good night's sleep, the towel will be completely dry after waking up.Thinking of Liniang, Liancheng felt sore, it was always his mother who took care of him, waiting for the son to support him but her mother was not there.Right now, she takes care of Qin Xiang more wholeheartedly, half of which is to treat Qin Xiang as a Liniang who wants to be filial but has no chance. "Tomorrow morning, I'll ask for some Pipa pills, Qiuli paste, etc. for you to eat, and you'll feel comfortable after eating!" The warm orange light reflected Liancheng's particularly clear eyebrows, and fine sweat slid across her forehead , but she didn't care about it at all, and kept wiping Qin Xiang.Qin Xiang raised his eyes weakly, and saw Liancheng busy to and fro in a trance, a little grateful, but also a little puzzled, and really couldn't figure out what Liancheng was thinking.He tortured her in different ways during the day, but she actually repaid her kindly, and even suspected that she might have held back a bad idea. 见秦湘怔愣着，连城似看穿了她心绪复杂，爽朗而笑：“人在世上活着，谁都不容易，你怎么对我，那是你的事，可我见你咳嗽痛苦，却不能不管，因为这是我的事！” 秦湘默然无言，静静垂下目光。 连城替她盖过软衾，随即放下靛青色帷帐，起了半身道：“我再去给你打几盆水来，放在床四周，待有了水汽，你这咳嗽便能缓缓了。” 说罢，正要移步，却见帷帐间探出秦湘一只腕子—— “丫头，你给我等一下。” 连城僵了步子，疑惑着转身，只见秦湘缓缓掀起一角帷幕，苍白面容上依旧是一脸莫测的神色。 “你别以为和我卖好，我就吃你这一套。”秦湘倚靠在榻前，目光凝着连城，“我提醒你一句，投机取巧固然有用，但皇后娘娘也不是那么好骗的。” 连城愣了愣，瞬间明白了秦湘的话意，便点点头，应了一声。 秦湘这才面色好转，释然地舒了口气，缓缓扬了一笑，满是平静：“那么，咱们两两相抵，互不相欠了！” 连城只觉得秦湘这话说得偏颇，下意识回应她：“有什么欠与不欠的？大家都在宫里，都是伺候人，大家应守望相助嘛！我也不图姑姑你什么，你呀，只管把你的咳嗽调养好，这比什么都强！” 秦湘由这话听得心头一牵，再又望去连城的年岁样貌，转而念起自己失散多年的儿子。当年，她丈夫恶赌，越赌越穷，越穷就越赌，欠下一堆赌债。那孩子仍在襁褓之中，便由她丈夫卖了银两偿还赌债。往日种种，便如噩梦，不堪回首。想来那孩子若在身前，正是如连城的岁数光景，也该是这般年轻气盛的模样。倘若他能在自己眼前，这般服侍自己，她便是死也甘心了。 泪，顿时充盈了双目，秦湘将头扭至内榻一侧，抑制不住的泪纷纷落下。 “你怎么哭了啊？”连城慌张地扑至秦湘身前，不住地拿帕子替秦湘拭泪，口中念念有词，“咱们可银货两讫、两不相欠啊！姑姑你这哭得可没道理啊！” 秦湘拉起连城的腕子，连连摇头，叹了口气：“没什么。我是想起了我失散多年的儿子。” son? 连城一惊，初以为秦湘似如宫中的老姑姑们，终生未嫁，孤独半生。原来她也是有家有儿子的，且是失散多年。此时，她见秦湘又发起了呆，便忙用手在她面前晃了晃。 秦湘怔怔转过神来，面上的痛色缓了几分。 连城轻轻问了句：“秦湘姑姑，你刚才说你儿子怎么了？” 垂首间，秦湘揩了眼泪，摇了摇头，不愿再言，只说夜深了，让连城去睡。 连城乖巧地退了半步，站起身，回说打完几盆水，就去睡。才又转过身，即听秦湘故作严肃的声音漫出了帷幕：“你给我记住，皇后是一个极精明的人，你想用印刷佛经蒙蔽皇后，她可是最讨厌被蒙蔽的——你可别以为自己能糊弄得了娘娘！” 连城闻言，含了一笑，摆摆手道：“姑姑放心养好身体！我也会照顾好自己的！我打水去了！” 秦湘透过帷幕望向连城背影，直到那绯色身影融入了门外，一丝笑意缓缓爬上。她摇了摇头，心下笑叹，连城这丫头虽只知道逞能，也确实有几分讨人欢喜的能耐。便是连自己，竟也有些中意她了。 天色还未大亮，坤宁宫的大殿上已然铺满了一千份《四十二章经》。 辰时，皇后由内殿缓缓而出，目光扫过跪在回廊上复旨的连城。晨间洗漱时，便听宫人四下都在议论，这宫女房一夜之间便抄录了千份经文，所以一早便遣人传了连城前来回旨，随之送来坤宁宫的便是这一殿的千份经文。 皇后随手拣了一份经文，扫过几眼，另拣起一份，几番比对着，脸上渐露出怒色。 殿前的回廊，铺着金色氆氇，连城便跪在其中。此时她将身子压得极低，屏息间，静得连自己的呼吸声都能听见。 “投机取巧！弄虚作假！”云织的袖摆狠狠垂落，皇后将手中经文一摔，怒叱向连城，“连抄佛经这种事情，你都敢如此不恭敬，可见绝非善类！连城！你还有何话可说？” 连城忙叩头，额头不停地落地，口中亦不住地念着：“连城无话可说，连城无话可说，连城无话可说，连城无话可说，连城无话可说，连城无话可说，连城无话可说……” “停！”皇后一步走至她身前，似是更怒，“你疯了吗？怎么总是重复这句话！” “请问皇后娘娘，我重复几句话，难道错了吗？” “自然是错的！” 连城略呼了口气，大着胆子略抬起头，瞧探着皇后脸色，缓缓道：“连城将自己的话重复说了不到十遍，皇后娘娘就已经开始厌烦——那么连城和众姐妹若是将佛教抄上一千遍，佛难道不会厌烦吗？” 皇后被这一句呛住，半刻讶然。 “连城觉得，佛经不在于读，也不在于抄，而在于理解，去领悟。慧能不识字，能得禅宗六祖之尊；周利盘陀伽只会念'扫帚'两字，结果也能证得阿罗汉果。这就是慧根和缘分——假如只是一味抄经求解脱，去浮躁，那根本就是缘木求鱼啊！心如果空了，万事万物都可以是空的，心如果是满的，万事万物也都可以是满的。” “小小年纪，竟然满嘴野狐禅！” 皇后冷笑一声，移步迈出大殿，人立于回廊上，初日的金耀光芒将她一身朝衣映得闪烁流离，垂首间睨了脚边的连城一眼，声音扬起：“好！你不是说什么空，什么满吗？禁宫之中，共有铜缸一百零八口。” 心中一沉，连城慢慢锁起蛾眉。 “你若能在明日日出之前，将所有的铜缸由空而变满，本宫就饶了你。”皇后说着，目光转去百阶下被阳光照得锃锃发亮的大铜缸，神色一凛，“否则——两罪并罚！” 连城已入宫数日，恒泰日夜难安，百般差遣郭孝前去打探连城的消息，连城的消息还未得到，便传来军营大乱的讯息。朝廷军饷不齐，饷银又少，军士们早有不满之心，而今簇拥一处，哄闹着要朝廷加饷银。恒泰只觉各营军卫俨然是胡闹，军中饷银的发放皆由朝廷记录在案，并非能凭众人几声牢骚便轻易更改，如今各营这般混闹，只剩扰乱军心。 匆匆赶往军营途中，却见江逸尘在军营由众人簇拥着，恒泰远远望着这一幕，神色冷住。 “前日随富察将军来军中的江逸尘先生，今日见军中饷银迟迟不发，于是取出了几箱自己窖藏的银子，每人都有四只元宝，大家齐声欢呼，好不拥戴江先生！目前似乎就只发了勇字营的五十来位弟兄。但这一发不要紧，好似投石入水，整个大营都轰动了，人人都盼着拿元宝呢！”一个军士跪了恒泰身前，畏畏缩缩地将这场面的情况道出。 “他是在代朝廷赏赐军士？”恒泰锁紧眉，“江逸尘好大的胆子。” 恒泰径直走向江逸尘，冷冷瞪他：“江逸尘！你私自给营中的弟兄发了大笔的银子，如今几个营全部都闹起来了！你才来军营几日，就给我们添了这样大的乱子！” 见恒泰怒火冲天，江逸尘反是不急，优哉道：“军营又不是我在管，我有什么办法？我也只是一时看不惯。这些当兵的也都是穷苦人家出身，家里不是有老父老母，就是有几个儿子等着吃饭，军饷一日不到，你叫他们怎么活？所以我一片好心，将自己的积蓄拿了出来，发散给这些兄弟们，难道有什么不对吗？” 恒泰见他一脸冥顽不灵的模样，难抑怒火：“军营有军营的规矩，用不着你假充好人，冠冕堂皇！你分明就是在挑起事端，若是真想给军士奖励，何必只单单发勇字营这一营？你挑动军中不满情绪，乱我大营！” 江逸尘全然不在嘴上输给他，只盯住恒泰，狡黠一笑：“你以为哥哥我的银子都是大风刮来的吗？为什么我只发一营？因为我没那么多钱啊！我要是钱够，我可给整个北京城发银子——难道钱不够也有错吗？” Smart words! 恒泰更近一步，只差揪紧江逸尘的领口：“你是故意的。你的目的就是要搅乱将军府和大营！”言罢，猛地离去。 江逸尘一脸漫不经心的笑色，归于宁静。是，他确实是故意的。 如是要报仇，他本可以利落地要了富察翁哈岱的命，却铤而走险，代朝廷发下军饷，这是意图谋反的重罪。只是如今，他已感觉到干娘之死事有蹊跷，恐怕并非富察翁哈岱所为，而是另有其人。他想起从前连城也多番明示暗示过自己，却苦于没有证据。索性他就扰乱军府和军营的局面，事态越乱，恒泰便越是应接不暇，而自己便能将那真凶揪出来。而今，他已隐约猜到，真凶必是一个最狡猾的对手，诸如那位端庄和蔼的将军福晋——纳兰映月！ “你不是很厉害吗？我事情已经做下了，题目也划给你了，只看你是真聪明还是假聪明，瞧瞧能不能解决了！”江逸尘望着恒泰背影，幽幽念了声，一丝残冷爬上眉间。论想如今，富察翁哈岱对干娘心怀愧疚，一并纵容自己并百般迁就，索性便逼翁哈岱动手，要其亲自手刃了福晋。待除掉纳兰映月，再一个个处理掉他和他的儿子！ 身后暗处是百乐缓缓走来，她贴在江逸尘耳后，压低了声音：“代朝廷发饷银，谋反之罪，饶是风险。这般损人不利己的事，你又何苦呢？” 江逸尘收敛了笑色：“我这就是在逼富察翁哈岱为干娘的死给出一个交代！” 百乐看着他，不由得摇摇头：“可惜我这个局外人看到的不仅仅是一个好汉为他干娘报仇，恰恰却是另一个情景。” 江逸尘顿住，转而看着百乐，一字一顿：“你看到了什么？” “你最终的目的是要除掉富察恒泰。” 恐怕这一切，都是因为富察恒泰拥有了他最爱的女人——连城！ 冷月如钩，夜浓重如墨，将九重宫阙团团萦绕。 脚下一步深，一步浅，汗水簌簌落下，连城扶着挑水扁担倚靠在廊前歇着。她挑水挑了整整一日，这一百零八个铜缸，才装满十九个。风来，夜花璀璨，簌簌飞舞，连城扬起一只手轻轻握了眼前的落花，目光迎去天边的弯月。静夜安好，可怜自己腰软膝软，只想躺倒睡下去。满园泛着花叶芬芳，连城深深吸了口入肺，长目微合间，听得房上传来轻衫绫衣的窸窣声和浅浅步音。连城扶着扁担坐起身，隐约看到是位身着白袍的老人家落座于屋顶上，神色落寞，身影伶仃。 “老人家。”连城扬了声音，跳起身朝着那身影挥了挥手，试图引来他的注目，“你怎么敢坐在皇宫的屋顶上啊！这可是坐不得的，快下来快下来！小心啊！别摔着了。” 声音扬起，竟似惊动了那房顶上的老人。连城只见那一袭白袍自屋顶飞檐而下，身手敏捷似蜻蜓点水般。见那老人家飞身而来，连城已霎时怔住，好半天缓过身，凑到老人家身前，绕着他转了转，惊叹出声：“你的功夫还不错嘛！那样高的地方，居然一步就迈下来了，腿不折，脚不崴，佩服佩服。” 来人一笑，听她一口一个老人家，不由得问说：“你不认识我吗？” 连城掩口即笑，莫非他是当世名人，还需要众人皆知？偏自己就是不认得他。 连城眨着眼睛，笑眯眯地看着他：“我问你，你认识我吗？” 只见他摇了摇头，连城便拍着他的肩膀，爽朗道：“对呀！你都不认识我，我又怎么会认识你？” “天色已重，你怎么在宫中瞎转悠着？” 一句反问言他，便好似避开了方才认得不认得的话题。 连城不由分说地蹲坐在地上，一手抚上握了整日的扁担，抱怨道：“我是伺候皇后娘娘的，今儿她大发慈悲，罚我将宫中的一百零八口大铜缸全部装满水，所以我到现在还在干活呢！” “你倒是犯了什么错，让皇后娘娘如此罚你？” 又一声问下，连城翻了翻白眼，未想这白衣老儿还挺多管闲事的，边叹气边说：“皇后娘娘要我们几个宫女把《四十二章经》抄写一千遍，我灵机一动，就想出了印刷佛经的主意，只一天一夜，就把一千份佛经……哎，我凭什么告诉你这些？” 说至一半，连城愣住，忙仰头看着那一身袍衣的老儿，见那衣料倒是十分精致，便像是富贵人家，索性开口问：“我还没问你呢，天色这样晚，倒是你为何在别人的屋顶上瞎转悠啊？” “那你，又凭什么管我在屋顶上晃悠？” 这人反似与她犟上了，连城猛地站起来，拍拍屁股，亟亟道：“江湖侠义道，你坐在那么危险的地方，人命关天，我自是要管一管。” “好个江湖侠义道！你既是关心我安危，我也可以帮你将这剩下的铜缸灌满水。”那人说着将袍衣一曳，稳稳坐在回廊上，目光落向连城，“但前提是，你要陪我聊会儿天。” “老人家，我还有八十九口铜缸没灌满呢，多你一个人，有什么用？” “我会一门法术，叫五鬼搬运法，一会儿我念起咒语，那些水缸自然就被装满了。” 连城一惊，半信半疑地打量着他。 那人见她这一脸不信任的神情，索性道：“无论是真是假，你都要信我了，因为按你这个速度，根本就是灌不完的。” 连城倒也觉得他说得在理，思量之下，一手丢了扁担，一脚踹开水桶，盘着腿坐于老人家身侧，眨着炯炯有神的大眼睛：“你说得对。那你想聊什么？” 想她上知天文，下知地理，最不怕的便是陪人聊天解闷子了。 “小丫头，你有喜欢的人吗？”思考了良久，那人缓缓问了她一句。 连城立时点头，自然有。 “那么，你如何来判断他是否真的喜欢你？” 这有何难，连城自信地笑了笑，连连说着：“喜欢就是对我好，宠着我，任我胡来，他也高兴地护着我，守着我。否则，就是不喜欢我！” “就这样？”那人皱起了眉头，苦苦摇头，“哪有那么简单。” 湖水静静拍打着岸边，粼光微洒映着连城的一张脸，单纯质朴，又岂能想到还有比这更复杂的喜欢。那人静了片刻，再扬起声时，略显几分落寞：“我且予你讲一个故事。在很久很久以前，有一个皇帝，他喜欢上了一个古灵精怪的姑娘，可是他只能偷偷喜欢着，他怕这位姑娘会被皇后盯上，便会有祸事殃及。后来选秀女的时候，皇后明明推举了这位皇帝心仪的姑娘，皇帝却没有选她。” “皇帝为什么没有选她呢？”连城一脸不解，蹙着蛾眉。 “这个皇上之所以不选她，是为了保护她，否则，皇后若是忌妒，这个姑娘非得命断宫闱不可。可是这个姑娘，并不知道皇上的苦心。”那人叹了口气，缓缓道，“虽然皇上没有选她为秀女，却夜夜按捺不住，要来私会这个姑娘。他们柔情蜜意，乃至山盟海誓，这个皇上答应，要给她一个身份。终于，他等到了一个好机会，圣母皇太后的六十大寿，就在那一天，皇上册封这个姑娘为慧妃娘娘。” 一树夜花，落溅池间，将湖面装饰成一面绣品。连城凝着湖面波澜，似深深陷落这故事中，口中恍惚问着：“那不是有情人终成眷属了吗？” “册封后，这个姑娘给皇上生下了一个可爱的女儿。但好景不长，皇上勤于政务，二来也怕皇后忌妒，陪伴姑娘的时间越来越少。这时候，她似乎和一个进宫唱戏的戏子有了私情，在东窗事发后，戏子选择了自杀，而这个姑娘什么都不说……” “最后呢？”未想到会有这般转折，连城忍不住急问。 “最后，皇上肝肠寸断地将她打入了冷宫，一关就是十多年，直到不久之前，才将她放了出来。不过，她已经是个半疯的女人了。” 待他说完，一时极静，二人皆没了声息。那人随着连城的目光，一并落在那一面湖泊，隔了好久，幽幽出声：“我不明白，为什么这个皇上这样疼爱他的妃子，但这个心爱的人却一点也体会不到？还要选择背叛他？” “依我看。”连城隐隐皱眉，“这两人都不怎么样。” “什么都不怎么样？”那人一时激怒，猛地站了起来，盯紧连城，“皇上一片苦心，却被人误解疏离，你这孩子乱讲话，你说说他哪里不怎么样？” 连城仰起头，认真地点头：“他也许是个好皇上，但是他不懂感情，不懂爱。爱情不说不做，叫什么爱情？你喜欢我，我喜欢你，我们就在一起。说知心的话，做开心的事，一个人被欺负，另一个人拍桌子拿菜刀去揍那坏蛋。麻烦来了，两人一起扛，大不了一起死掉。什么一片苦心，暗中保护，都是废话！废话！” 那人哑然失笑，叹口气，随即摇头：“说得句句在理，可惜都是孩子话。事情哪有那么简单，越是高高在上，越是事事不得自由。” 皇后的家族和朝廷有着千丝万缕的关系，身为帝王，必要思虑周全。虽然皇帝是一国之君，但其实也是君为一国，平常老百姓敢爱敢恨的事情，他反而不能做。帝王，也有帝王家的苦衷，非世人皆能明白。 这话，连城倒是极为赞同，索性点头：“所以我觉得那女子也是笨蛋。” "how to say?" “被惯坏了。”连城一针见血，毫不留情，“皇上的温柔好处，她当成习惯了，麻木了，忘记了，不知道感恩，可不就忽略掉了……”说着却
