Jin Su spring speech

Chapter 34
As a girl, Jin Xing, apart from hooking up with Murong Chong who is not yet weak and thin-skinned every day, also needs to do her best in her job.

Serving in front of the queen mother, the queen mother is addicted to alcohol, and occasionally gets drunk, she loves to tell stories with Jinxing.

This story is told repeatedly, drunk-eyed, upside down, not clear.

But one time, the queen mother was drunk, but she didn't seem to be drunk. On this day, she told three stories in a row.

She played with the wine cup in her hand: "Jin Xing, do you know that I was originally a secret guard of Murong Chui?"

Jin Xing smiled slightly: "I don't know, but Niang Niang probably always wants to tell me."

She thought for a while, and said slowly: "The first year of Yuanxi..."

In the first year of Yuanxi, at that time, he had another name, Murong Ba.

He destroyed the Ministry of Yuwen, and after his defeat, Zhao captured Youzhou. He is already a hero known throughout the country.

I also admired him very much, so I joined his sect and became a secret guard.

He didn't care that I was a woman, he wiped the red tasseled gun in his hand: "Where did you come from, and where are you going?"

I looked at him: "I came from where I came from, of course, I want to go to the general's side."

He finally looked at me: "What's your name?"

I thought about it and said, "Qingshuang."

At this time, he has taken the two daughters of the Duan family as his wives and concubines. The soft jade is full of warmth and fragrance, tenderness and sweetness, so naturally he looks down on my bloody hands that cannot be washed off.

At that time, Duan's concubine Duan Yue's belly was very strong, and she was pregnant for another three months.

In the same year, Duan Yue's brother Duan Qin gathered a crowd to proclaim himself emperor, and I went with Murong Ba to suppress Yimu. After besieging Yimu for ten days, Duan Qin held a banquet in Shilimo outside the city and decided to surrender. I hid in the dark and let him go.

This banquet was indeed a Hongmen banquet.

In the middle of the meal, Duan Qin suggested that his half-brother Duan Cong dance swords for everyone.

I don't read many books, but I have also heard the story of Xiang Zhuang's sword dance aimed at Pei Gong.

Of course, he didn't succeed.I pulled out the soft sword at my waist and wiped Duan Cong's neck before the sword was drawn out of its sheath. Murong Ba probably expected it a long time ago. The concubines around him rushed away, and he was still as stable as Mount Tai. Drinking that wine.

I followed him for two years and killed many people for him, maybe because I took the life of Princess Duan's elder brother, the princesses of the Duan family didn't like me, and they blew a lot of pillow wind beside Murong Ba's pillow.

This year's New Year's Eve, I prepared for a long time. Needlework is not my forte. After pricking ten fingers, I finally wove him a belt that was still affordable. He took it, but only glanced at it, and then The servants around him were taken away.He asked me: "Qingshuang, are you willing to make the fastest and best sword in the world for me?"

I didn't think much about it: "Of course."

I entered the palace and was placed next to Murong Jun as a court lady, waiting for the right time.

However, I have not received any instructions. I actually had some hopes. Murong Jun treated me very well and taught me how to write patiently. One day, he asked me to play chess with him. He stopped my hand and said that it was too smooth, and it didn't look like a girl doing rough work at all.

These hands, two months ago, were covered with thick calluses and stained with blood.

I'm a little scared of what he's found.But he just smiled lightly, let go of my hand, and didn't ask any further questions.

After another two months, Murong Ba failed to find out the restriction of the ancestral precepts, and Murong Jun ascended the throne as emperor.

Later, when Murong Jun inspected the military training at the school grounds, I followed him.

He was sitting on the stand, drinking tea slowly and leisurely, as if planning a strategy.

A girl came up to serve with a plate of roasted mutton. She had a beauty that could not be ignored. When she approached, she first knelt in front of the stage and skillfully cut the meat from the leg of lamb. He glanced at her, suddenly a cold light flashed, and her knife was about to pierce Murong Jun's chest very quickly.

For some reason, I stood in front of him, and the knife sank into my left shoulder all of a sudden.

Murong Ba is coming on horseback, I know it's him, only him.He looked at me in astonishment, and with the last of my consciousness, I shook my head at him.

I watched him fall off the horse, the surrounding guards rushed up from the dark to protect Murong Jun, and slowly closed their eyes.

After telling this story, the empress dowager closed her eyes, as if she didn't want people to see the tears in her eyes that were not full.

Jin Xing held his chin: "The story about the empress dowager is so short that people don't understand it."

After a while, the queen mother took Jin Xing's hand and held it in her palm: "You see, you are a child at heart, and you are always in a hurry. I have a second story." She paused, then said: "Once upon a time there was a girl……"

Once upon a time, there was a girl who had no father since she was a child. Her mother was originally a nobleman in Zhonghualou in Kuaiji County. She had a love affair with her father, but her father finally abandoned her and returned home to marry a young lady from a family of officials. for wife.

The mother is aloof and arrogant, and the other girls in the flower building don't like her. At this time, the fetus is dark and she is kicked out.

The mother returned to her hometown with her belly pregnant.Her hometown is in the far north, and her mother gave birth to her while she was on the road. Her mother named her Qingshuang, but she didn't have a surname.

In the middle of the night alone, I increase my thoughts, and when I bear the clear frost, I cry at night.

My mother said that it was a poem my father loved very much.

When the girl was five years old, her mother's country, Goguryeo, was destroyed by Qian Yan.

The city of Wandu was burned and looted, and the people's property withered.

Because of her beauty, her mother was sold off by traffickers and disappeared.

The little girl hadn't eaten for three days, she stumbled out of the house, Murong Ba was driving his horse straight into Wandu, almost became his ghost.

Murong Ba reined in the reins and raised his eyebrows: "Little girl, aren't you afraid?"

He was already a young hero, and she didn't dare to look directly at his imposing face.She didn't look him in the eyes: "Mother said, if you want to die, you can't be a starving ghost."

He laughed out loud, this girl is still young and doesn't understand, but this laugh, she thought, is better than anger.

He rewarded her with some steamed buns.

This year, she sold her mother's collection of poems inscribed by her father, Lanting Poems. There was a small seal in the lower left corner. She couldn't read, but she still firmly remembered this word. Many years later, there was Someone taught her to read and practice calligraphy, and only then did she know, this word, say thank you.

In order to make a living, she started working as an errand in the flower building. The old bustard in the flower building knew countless people. From her still immature face, she saw the beauty of the future, so she allowed her to do some errand work.

One day, a distinguished guest came to the flower building.

She was only ten years old at the time, and she stood at the end with her head bowed, but the guest noticed her and asked her to serve her by name.

She reluctantly followed him into the room, but her hand tightly held the dagger hidden in her sleeve.

This night, she killed someone for the first time, and she was a little helpless watching the trickle of blood flow out, staining her hands red.

Suddenly, a man jumped in from the window. She said it was a man, but she had identified it for a long time. The man was dressed in red and painted on. He looked at her and said, "My mission was snatched by you, a bitch."

The man also said: "I still lack an apprentice, why don't you follow me. It's better to eat delicious food and drink hot food than you are here."

This man has a kind of seductive charm, and she agreed in a flash of brains.

He made a soft sword for her and put it in her hand: "If a soldier wants to sharpen his weapon, he must first get his name."

She gave this soft sword and took it as frost.

The man placed her in a house and didn't come often. He threw her some sword manuals and asked her to practice according to them, and the apprentice accepted it like this.

When she was 14 years old, she received her first assassination mission.

That night, she pretended to be an ordinary concubine in the brothel, and knelt aside to pour wine for the guests.

The man was long overdue.

It turned out to be him.

She remembered those plain white steamed buns for ten years.

This first assassination was considered a failure.

The master was in a good mood that day, and asked her with great interest, why?

She lowered her head: "he once saved me."

The master chuckled and said, "I didn't expect that you are still a lover. Forget it, the apprentices I recruit are always not very up-to-date. They are just killers. It is easy to come in. If they want to go out, they can only lie down."

The master cut off the tendons of her hands and feet, and ordered someone to connect them again. Maybe it was luck, or maybe the doctor was highly skilled. She had been raised in the medicine house for a whole year, and her hands and feet could dance again. It's just that when I use the sword, I always feel a dull pain during the wind, rain and typhoid.

There are only two people in this medicine hut, a doctor who can't tell the difference between male and female, and a girl with various styles.The doctor seemed to hate the master, and even disliked her, but for some reason, he still treated her.The girl treated her very well, and said to her: "One's life has been rushed for decades, so naturally, one should do what one really wants to do."

A year later, she returned to Qianyan.

Jin Xing rolled his round eyeballs: "Then, Empress Dowager, have you done what you really want to do in your life?"

The Queen Mother's hands trembled slightly: "I have loved and hated, and my life is still worth living, isn't it?"

Jin Xing replied with a smile: "Who says it's not, Empress Dowager."

The Queen Mother drank another cup of wine, and recalled the past in the faintly flickering candlelight.

That year, I passed out in Murong Jun's arms.

When I woke up, two big things happened.

The first one is probably because I sacrificed my life to save him, and Murong Jun had nothing to repay him, so he had to promise me with his body, and included me in one of his few harems. I was not born well, so he ordered Mr. Kezuhun to take me in. Since he had me as his daughter, he also had a surname, so he became his wife as a matter of course.

The second thing is that Murong Ba changed his name for some reason and became Murong Chui. Soon after, he was called back to Kyoto from Xindu.

Murong Jun's harem was not lively. The former princess gave birth to two sons for him, the prince Murong Ye and Murong Wei. When Murong Wei was born, he collapsed from the stool and died, so he was left vacant.

In the harem, there is only one concubine of the Duan family. It seems that she has served him for many years and gave birth to a son, but she only got married with Jieyu. When I was a palace maid, she also looked at me twice , suddenly parachuted into Madam, one level above her, she refused to accept it.

But she is timid, and when I frighten her, I get scared and don't dare to come to find trouble anymore.

Not long after, Murong Jun raised his two legitimate sons under my knees. Actually, I don't really like children, but I can't refuse them.But Duan Jieyu, I think, really wants these two children.

After raising them for two years, I also developed feelings for them.Unexpectedly, the good times didn't last long, the prince suddenly developed a rash, the imperial doctor was helpless, and the child was weak, so he just passed away.

Murong Jun is such a person who can't express his emotions and anger, he actually shed a tear in front of me.

Next, I didn't see him for about a month.

It seems that I miss him a little bit.

I thought, if he doesn't come to me, can't I go to him?
I dressed up in the mirror, and went to his study with some joy and some trepidation.

He was at his desk, and when he saw me, he was a little surprised: "Why are you here?"

I gave him a not-so-good gift: "I think, and Your Majesty, have a child."

The memorial in his hand slid down and landed on the table, and the look of astonishment in his eyes became more intense: "I thought, you don't want to..."

I suddenly laughed, it had been many years since I laughed like this: "My lord, there is nothing I don't want, and there is nothing I don't want."

On this day, he and I finally got married.

In the first year of Guangshou, in winter, I was pregnant.Murong Jun made me a queen. At this time, the harem finally added two more concubines, barely able to make up a mahjong table.

On February [-], the dragon looked up.

We held a banquet in the palace to entertain the ministers.Duan Qing, the princess of Murongchui, came up to pour me a glass of wine, I didn't want to take pride in others, so I drank it.

Unexpectedly, it was a cup of poisoned wine.

The poison flowed for a long time, and after a few months, I gave birth to a boy, who lost his breath just after he was born.He was covered in black and blue, the imperial doctor saw it and said that he had been poisoned by Gu poison.

Tracing back to the source, after searching for a whole month, they found Princess Duan.

Murong Jun was furious and sent her to jail.

Naturally, it is impossible for me to let her go, that is my first child, I went to see her in prison, and asked her: "Why?"

She was a little crazy: "That's right, I can't see you well."

I was a little puzzled, not knowing where I offended her and made her hate me so much.After much deliberation, it is only possible that I killed his brother.

Murong Jun asked me how I want to deal with her.

My eyes are a little dry: "Bruised bones and ashes."

Murong Jun seemed to want to say something more, but he didn't say it.

Later, before executing Duan Qing, in order to show kindness, Murong Chui allowed Murong Chui to take one last look at her.

They didn't know what they said in the prison, but Duan Qing bumped her head to death in the prison.However, it was inevitable that her ashes would be destroyed, and I personally scattered her ashes in the river.

No matter what, I still want to have a child.The imperial doctor in the palace was at a loss. In order to surprise you, I secretly found the doctor who lived on Yingchuan Mountain that my master had found for me. After all these years, the doctor didn’t seem to have changed. He diagnosed my pulse. Said: "You have been planting this Gu poison for many years, and the plant is very deep. That wine is just a lure, luring the poison in your body out."

I was surprised: "Then this poison, can it be cured?"

The doctor straightened his clothes: "Of course, it's possible. It's just a pain to pull it out."

The Gu worm wandered in my body for three days and three nights, and finally had nowhere to hide and was pulled out.

The doctor watched the Gu worm writhing in the cup, and said silently: "So, it's here."

I wanted to ask, but I couldn't ask, so I passed out.

When I woke up, he had already left, and I gradually forgot about it.

Then I thought about it, and it could only be him.Although I don't know why, he won't make me feel better, and I won't make him feel better. Since he is widowed, I will give him a princess.I bestowed my somewhat stupid nominal sister, Kezu Qingying, as my concubine.

After recuperating for several months, my stomach still hasn't moved.

Once when I was out in the palace for an outing, I saw a very strange fruit growing on the apricot tree. It suddenly fell down and landed in my arms. I felt it was novel and ate it.

Within a few days, I was pregnant with a child.

On the day the child was born, Xi Xian hung down the light, Jing Xing Qingyun, and birds circled the beam for three days.

Your Majesty bestows a name, Chong.I gave him the small characters, Fenghuang.

After a while, the childless Duan Zhaoyi was given to death for some reason.

After that, I was suddenly guarded too.Of course, these guards in the palace couldn't see me, so I took advantage of their slack handover, ran out, came to his study, and wanted to ask him why.There were no guards. Through the half-covered window, I saw him holding a portrait in a daze. From my position, I could see it very clearly.

That portrait is a beauty, and in the lower left corner is a little Ping.

This Ping, I know, is the nickname of his concubine Yuan.

I've never seen a portrait of her before, and now it looks like a person, me.

I suddenly understood why Murong Chui wanted me to come by his side, and why he was so kind to me.

I didn't hold back, I pushed the door open and went in: "So, is the concubine just an optional substitute?"

He didn't look at me, and said indifferently: "Take the empress back home."

Those guards hidden in the dark came out at no time and invited me back.

But I'm probably a bit indifferent by nature, so I wanted to cry, but I couldn't.

I thought, it doesn't really matter, after all, I got a position under one person and a beautiful child.

Not long after this, Murong Jun actually passed away, and he didn't see me at the end.

I helped Wei'er ascend the throne, and he was still young, so I became the empress dowager who listened to politics behind the curtain.

Jin Xing drank a few cups of tea, and understood the details of the story clearly.She sighed softly: "Your Majesty, sometimes things can't just be seen on the surface, the mystery is hidden inside."
