Sometimes the palace is sunny

Once Lin Miaozhen made a decision, she would immediately start thinking about how to realize it, and she made an agreement with "Zhao Surui", she wished she could pack up and salute that night and leave the palace early the next morning.

Xu Gongling was so frightened that he quickly stopped her temporarily with the fact that the newly elected female official entered the palace.

"When the female wife is selected, it will happen that the news of the selection of female officers in the spring of next year will spread everywhere. It was just right for me to set off at that time. I would pack lightly and take only three or four people with me. How many days...Your Majesty, where can I go on horseback in four or five days?"

Shen Shiqing paused, and then said:
"If you take a carriage, you can reach the border of Shandong in three to five days."

"That's too slow." Lin Miaozhen had already picked up her whip, "I can't say that my riding skill is the best, but it's not bad. If I can walk two hundred miles a day..."

Shen Shiqing had no choice but to raise her head again:
"Riding a horse for two hundred miles a day caused injuries all over my body. I was paralyzed in the inn and couldn't move. Sister, you are not so much an inspector as you are fighting for your life with a horse."

Lin Miaozhen still felt that she could run to the border of Jiangnan in one go, but after being splashed with cold water, she sat back on the couch with some disappointment, grabbed a handful of pine nuts, and did not forget to share some with "Zhao Surui".

"Take your time, not just once, you can always go where you want to go." Shen Shiqing persuaded her in turn.

Lin Miaozhen slapped the table suddenly: "Then I can go to Mount Tai to see it!"

At any rate, she remembered that there was Xu Gongling next to her, so she smiled and changed her words: "I can go to Mount Tai to inspect, Mount Tai has outstanding people, it's great, there must be many talented women who can enter the palace as female officials."

They are all you, even if you become a man, even if you are the supreme king in this world, you can still see them everywhere, they look at the abyss, they stand between the nest and the cage, they seem to be doomed You cannot spread your wings and fly in this life.

"I'm afraid too."

So, everything has an answer.

"His Majesty……"

"Xu Gongling." Several young maids walked quickly with the documents in their arms, not forgetting to salute her.

"Your Majesty, the empress has changed a lot these days, and my minister is sometimes happy and sometimes frightened."

"I know what Xu Gongling is worried about." Shen Shiqing lowered her eyes, looking at the road illuminated by the lamp.

Xu Xuan stopped.

The bird 30 years ago, she had just brought home, was thrown by her father to the dog at home because it violated boudoir training.

These words, she asked herself over and over again, when she was determined to take Lin Miaozhen out of the palace, when she was determined to let the maids into the inner study, when she stood in the princess mansion and watched Zhao Mingyin walk towards her, She is thinking.

Xu Xuan knelt upright on the cold stone steps: "Your Majesty, my humble minister made a mistake, please forgive me."

"Xu Gongling can sing lyrics?"

Standing up, she tidied up her official robe meticulously, looked at the brightly lit Duanji Hall not far away, and simply walked towards it.

She herself is the answer.

"The sparrow was injured and could only cry in the forest. The minister held it in a handkerchief and brought it home. He fed it with yellow rice every day, gave it water, and changed its medicine. After a few days, the bird gradually recovered, and occasionally flew to the forest, and then flew back. However, the minister was afraid that it would never return, so he found a bird cage and locked it in. The little bird had just been locked in I started to struggle when I was young, I thought it would understand my painstaking efforts, so I covered the cage cruelly and waited for it to calm down. Unexpectedly, after half a day, when I came back from my grandmother's meal, the bird was already dead gone."

"Xu Gongling, give me the lamp."

Another little maid said with a smile: "I heard, Xu Gongling is singing: 'The morning smoke is desolate, the sky is far away, and the sky and the earth are nets. Flying feathers swirl, the forest is silent, and all birds are silent.'"

Just like in the past years, she saw her own abyss from others over and over again.

"Shen Sanwaste Shen Sanwaste."

The little maids chirped, like a flock of fledglings growing up freely in the forest.

The young man with the lamp bent over to help Xu Xuan up.

Xu Xuan lowered her head, and the green plum branches on the official hat swayed lightly in the wind: "Your Majesty has learned from you."

Shen Shiqing turned her head and looked at Xu Gongling who was standing on the steps.

The three words that were light and fluttering came to my ears, but they seemed to be extremely heavy, making people unable to breathe.

"Get up, you are thinking of the queen, what can you blame?"

Yu Jia walked slowly towards Qianqing Palace.

"Your Majesty, I heard that you were brave and powerful in the prison."

"Shen Sanfei, I want to pay homage to the Yao family for you, do you think I wear white or blue?"

It was as if by using only these three words, a person glimpsed a mountain, and that mountain grew in another person's heart.

"I'm in a prison cell, but I can escape from prison. I'll let Sishu arrest me after my worship is over... It's quite interesting to say that, Shen Sanwa, let's do it like this, tomorrow I escaped from prison. Quickly tell me, when I escaped from prison, did I wear white or blue."

Xu Xuan followed behind "Your Majesty" and remained silent for a long time.

Xu Xuan stood on the spot, watching the man in the cloak walking forward alone with a flickering lamp, taking one step after another.

"No." After walking a few steps, Xu Xuan said slowly, "Your Majesty, when I was young, I saved a sparrow in the plum forest."

"Xu Gongling, do you think that one day I will be forced to abolish the Empress?"

"The net is set up, the sky and the earth are gray, and there are no more crows in the mountains, forests, and vaults. Xu Gongling, if one day the world's nightmares come true, will you open the cages first to let them breathe, or keep the birds locked up all the time? From birth to death, not to spread your wings?"

Xu Xuan stood with her hands behind her back and stood by the open window, she could hear the noise, and she looked at the quiet Taiye Pool in the distance.

Looking at Xu Gongling's face illuminated by the light, Shen Shiqing raised her hand, making the rest of them take a few steps back.

"His Majesty……"

"I am also afraid that one day when I wake up, my hands are not my hands, and my heart is no longer my heart. I am afraid that one day, the high-ranking female official will go to the Qianqing Palace but will not be able to enter the palace. The queen wants to leave the palace. But you were blocked by many palace gates. I was afraid that Grand Master Zhao would be driven back to the Princess Mansion. Xu Gong ordered you to be dismissed and sent back to your original place. I was afraid that the red dresses of the female officials would be torn up and burned. The calculated ledger was burned. Xu Gongling, what you are afraid of is exactly what I am afraid of at this moment."

"Your Majesty, a bird in a cage will still be like this, let alone a human being? The queen's nature is wild and uninhibited. I know that she suppressed her nature and lived in this deep palace in the past, but she knows that she is a queen, and she is willing to be a queen." The good queen takes care of the inner palace for your majesty. Now, your majesty condones and even encourages the queen to leave the palace, just like reminding the birds of the mountains, forests and clouds. If one day, the empress is locked back in the palace, let her live as before One day, Your Majesty, the Empress will become the bird that I accidentally killed back then."

It was Shen Shiqing who was locked up, Shen Shiqing who wanted to be kind, and Shen Shiqing who wanted to follow the rules.

"Yes."

In the silence, Shen Shiqing followed the light in the sedan chair and looked at Zhezi.

Or continue to endure, continue to wait, continue to be trampled on until the day when she can really break her shackles?
When she was Shen Shiqing, she kept asking herself, and when she was "Zhao Surui", she still kept asking.

The bird that was locked up almost to death in the cage had a name, Xu Xuan.

"I'm young and my temperament is unstable. It's not uncommon for me to change the order from day to day. It doesn't matter if I let the female officials go to court, let the female officials inspect the four directions, or let the palace ladies enter the inner study. Now these, as long as I am punished one day. The ministers say something, but a few words can be erased. At that time, countless women inside and outside the palace will become caged birds, crying and crying, and dying under the black cage cloth. Exit. What Xu Gong makes you really want to remind me is not how the empress should deal with herself, but those women, are you right?"

The Duanji Hall was as busy as ever, and the sound of the crackling beads seemed to cast shadows under the light, otherwise no one would understand why the beads would be so endless.

Several little maids went to the shelf and put the arranged account books on it, and one of the little palace maids suddenly said:
"Just now Xu Gongling was singing the lyrics, did you hear that?"

Looking at the lamp in his hand, Shen Shiqing had a slight smile on his face:

"what?"

At first, Xu Xuan thought that what she heard was the wind.

"Your Majesty, the queen is not an official, let alone a court lady. If you indulge the queen like this, I am really worried that one day the queen will not be the queen after all."

Hearing the familiar voice, she remembered that today is another day of heart-to-heart echo every three days.

Xu Xuan nodded to them.

It is a compromise, to walk a path that she should take in the eyes of the world, to become a family wife who is respected by her husband and son-in-law, and her husband and aunt are beautiful, forgetting all the past, forgetting the layers of unwillingness and pain in her heart.

At that time, she said to herself: "Look, Shen Shiqing, the woman in front of you is also Shen Shiqing."

Unexpectedly, Zhao Surui would talk about this matter, Shen Shiqing was stunned:
"Your Majesty, if I remember correctly, you are still in prison."

The young emperor was wearing a sable cloak, holding a palace lantern in one hand, and walked slowly.

When Xu Gongling came to her side, Shen Shiqing turned around and continued walking forward with the lamp.

"Xu Gongling." Shen Shiqing raised her hand and let the light illuminate Xu Xuan's path forward, "Since it's a bird, it must fly after all."

"The cold dew shocked the dream of the golden cage, and the old sparrow hesitated in the old scene. Thirty years ago, I recalled the heavy snow in the plum forest, and there was no sound."

"Xu Gongling."

She was so good at describing it, but it just made the mature and prudent Xu Gongling sigh secretly in his heart.

It wasn't until His Majesty came to Yu Jia who had been waiting in the distance, that she knelt on the ground and saluted, and watched His Majesty return to the palace.

"Let all the birds fly. In this way, even if the sky is covered by a net one day, there may be a bird that slips through the net. It can fly, and let the cages in this world know that birds must fly. "

It was already dark after leaving the Qionghua Palace where Lin Miaozhen lived, Shen Shiqing walked slowly, and Xu Gongling was holding the lamp for her by the side.

Shen Shiqing: "..."

Sister Qing: Why do you, an emperor, want to escape from prison?

Siri Zhao: Choose clothes.

Xu Xuan's Ci Ci Pai is "Manjianghong", don't be too mediocre, I am really unprofessional in writing these things.

I was not satisfied with the writing at night on 2.16, and I didn't sleep well the day before, and my brain was not enough, so the update was changed to the afternoon of 2.17.
