Qing Fu Jin

Chapter 160 In Xian'an Palace
The deposed prince was imprisoned in Xian'an Palace, and of course the Crown Princess Guerjia was also there.

The high walls around the Xian'an Palace are now a cold palace with few people.

When Guo Luoluo, Ling Bo and others came to the door, the guards guarding the door were really surprised.

Ling Bo originally thought that since it was a place where the crown prince was confined, the guards must be very vigilant and would not easily let idlers in, but he did not expect that when Guo Luoluo led her in, the guards would suddenly lose their sight. He didn't even blink his eyelids.

Seeing her shocked and puzzled, Guo Luoluo explained: "I have already consulted with the Empress Dowager, and I am going to visit the Crown Princess today, and these people all know about it."

Only then did Ling Bo feel relieved.

After entering Xian'an Palace, she was surprised again.

I thought that the interior of the Leng Palace should be barren and bleak with weeds, but in the courtyard of the Xian'an Palace, it is full of vitality, with flowers and trees everywhere, and a woman in a light blue flag is facing her back amidst the green leaves. Watching them, stooping to trim the branches of a round-leaved plant.

"Second sister-in-law."

Hearing Ling Bo's voice, the woman turned around, and it was the Crown Princess Guerjia.

"You guys are here." She smiled lightly, as if this was not a rare encounter in the cold palace, but a visit to a normal home with girlfriends, the expression on her face was so peaceful and natural.

Feeling slightly puzzled, Ling Bo stepped forward and held her hand, observing her appearance.

Guarjia's face seemed to be a little rounded, and there was a smile on his mouth, not forced, but from the heart, and his eyes were clear.

Guerjia let her look at her, just looked down at her stomach, and said with a smile: "It's so big, it's time to give birth in spring, right?"

Ling Bo nodded and said, "Yes, the imperial physicians said it was twins."

Guerjia said with a smile: "Congratulations, it's a pity that I can't go out at will. I'm afraid I can't participate in Xisan and Manyue."

Ling Bo shook his head: "It is enough for you to have this intention."

She tightened the other's hand and said, "Second sister-in-law, how are you doing recently? Has the crown prince treated you?"

Guo Luoluo laughed lightly and said, "What? Are you still afraid that the prince will beat her?"

Ling Bo glanced at her, but didn't say a word, the Guerjia family had a lot of injuries back then, which made her experience the domestic violence in the Qing Dynasty.

Mrs. Guarjia held the hands of the two of them and said, "Come on, let's talk under the tree."

There was a stone table and several stone benches under the tree over there. The weather was cold, and cotton cushions were placed on the stone benches. When Ling Bo sat down, he felt soft and warm.

She picked up a cotton cushion that no one was sitting on. The fabric seemed to be cut from clothes. Although it was also a good material, it looked a bit worn.

"Did the second sister-in-law do it herself?"

Mrs. Guarjia nodded: "I did it myself. I have been bored for a long time. I only plant flowers and do needlework. Anyway, there are some old clothes that I don't need, so I twist them for other uses, so as to save new materials." .”

Ling Bo was silent.

The crown prince has been abolished, and the people in the palace know how to order dishes. Naturally, the supply of Xian'an Palace cannot be abundant. Although the Guerjia family said so, she can also guess that there must be no food in Xian'an Palace. New material was for her use, so she cut up old clothes.

Guarjia poured tea for them, but the expression on his face was extremely peaceful.

Ling Bo picked up the cup and took a sip. It's a very common tea, even a father-in-law with a higher rank in the palace would drink better than this.

Her eyes turned red immediately, and she turned her head away not to be seen.

Guo Luoluo pointed to the inside of the room, and said to Guarjia, "How is that man?"

Mrs. Guerjia smiled slightly, and said: "In the beginning, it was natural to lose your temper, throw things and beat people, which is common. There were not many people serving in this palace, so he was frightened, so he was transferred away. It’s over, only me and two caring maids are left, and there is also a young eunuch who is loyal to him. He is also afraid of knocking us away again, so he has no choice but to restrain his temper.”

Guo Luoluo was a little surprised and said: "You don't seem to be afraid of him anymore."

Ling Bo turned his face away when he heard the words, that's right, when talking about the prince before, the Guerjia family was always very timid and refused to talk too much, but today they are so calm, without any fear at all.

"He's already like this, so I have nothing to be afraid of." Guarjia said with a smile, "The only few people left here now have their hearts on me. If he wants to make a move, they will take him away early in the morning." I took him far away. All his supporters are no longer around, like a tiger with its teeth pulled out, only a few of us are left, and a fight will only make us neglect him, and he is the one who is afraid, Not me."

Ling Bo and Guo Luoluo looked at each other, feeling that the world is impermanent.

Mrs. Guarja seemed to think of something funny, chuckled lightly, and said, "He is very different now. In the past, I was always around him, but now it is completely reversed, and he is around me." Turn. If I prune flower branches, he will carry the flowerpot; I will make this cotton mat, and it is he who holds the scissors and twists the material."

Guo Luoluo was surprised: "He will do such a thing?"

Holding the teacup, Mrs. Guarjia said with a slight smile: "Otherwise, if he doesn't do something, he will go crazy. The other day, I bought a set of Go. These days, I study it every day with the game records. Well. It’s just that we don’t bother him, so he’s settled down, and if he sees outsiders, he’s not guaranteed to relapse.”

Both Ling Bo and Guo Luoluo agreed, no wonder she just dragged them under the tree to talk, but didn't invite them into the house.

Mrs. Guarjia took a sip of hot tea and continued: "The days of today can be called simple tea and light food. The rich clothes and fine food, calling slaves and maidservants are all things of the past. I have been in the palace for so many years, and now it is only a matter of time." Live the days of real comfort."

"Is there no complaint in my heart?" Guo Luoluo asked one more question.

Guerjia said with a smile, "Have you ever complained in your heart?"

Guo Luoluo was silent.

Eighth elder brother's situation is not much better than the prince's. Thinking about it carefully, she and the Guerjia family are also in the same disease.In the past, Guarjia was blindly weak, and she was blindly strong in the past, but now, both husbands have lost their power and are lonely, and they have become their last bit of comfort and warmth.

"It can be seen that no one can say for sure about the things in the world. Those who were originally noble and glorious fell into the mud once; those who were originally modest and low-key will also have their day of prosperity. The stability and kindness of the fourth sister-in-law is indeed a blessed person. " Guarjia sighed lightly.

Ling Bo pursed his lips, Sifujin was not blindly steady and gentle, but also had scheming and means.But when the fourth elder brother gained power, she would naturally follow the trend, but so what, when the fourth elder brother became the emperor, she might not be happier than she is now.

Everyone wants different things. Some people want true love, some people want glory, and some people want an ordinary life.Being together is also a kind of happiness.

Ling Bo began to understand why Guo Luoluo brought her to see the Crown Princess, the two of them are the same kind of person now.Knowing the mentality of the Guarjia family, one also knows the mentality of the Guo Luoluo family.

They don't need sympathy, what they need is blessing.

The three of them talked again, Ling Bo and Guo Luoluo told Guerjia about the family affairs that happened outside, she lived so deep in Xian'an Palace that she couldn't easily know the news.

Although everyone's tone was light, there was a warm and peaceful atmosphere, which made people feel like spring breeze.

"Let's stop here. We should go too. The Queen Mother's banquet is about to start, so it's not good to let many elders wait for us." Guo Luoluo made the final concluding remarks.

Guerjia nodded and said, "Okay, wait for me for a while."

She turned back and went into the room, and after a while came out with two small bundles, and unfolded them on the stone table.

"This set of tiger-head shoes and tiger-head hat is made for your unborn child. I can't congratulate you. It's just a little bit of my heart. I just didn't know that you were pregnant with twins, so I only made one set .” Guarjia pushed a small green-skinned bundle in front of Ling Bo.

Ling Bo rejoiced and said, "What a clever workmanship, so beautiful!"

Guarjia said with a smile, "It's fine if you like it."

She pushed another purple bundle in front of Guo Luoluo, and said: "I know you have a Lian'er Gege, you have never been a good female worker, and you must have never made clothes for her yourself. I heard that children are not good It’s better to wear new clothes, lest they will roughen their delicate skin, these are the little clothes I made out of my old clothes, they are the softest and most comfortable, don’t dislike them.”

Guo Luoluo said with a smile: "I don't like it, I didn't think of this, it's because you are careful."

She also picked up the small clothes in the bag to look at, and exclaimed: "You really have a pair of skillful hands."

The two thanked the Guerjia family, then left Xian'an Palace, walked a long way, looked back and saw her still looking at the gate of the palace, couldn't help feeling slightly sour in their hearts.

After clearing up their mood, the group headed back towards Ningshou Palace.

Passing through a dense grove, a person in front hurried out from the bushes and almost bumped into Ling Bo's arms. Thanks to Xiu Shu and Rui Dong's quick eyesight, he helped Ling Bo.

"Ahn Joo-hyun!?"

Ling Bo was surprised to find that the person who rushed out was his sister-in-law An Zhuxian.

"What's the matter? You are so panicked, someone is chasing you?"

An Zhuxian seemed a little flustered at first, but hurriedly said: "No, no, where did my sister-in-law go? Fujin asked me to come and see you. The queen mother's party is about to start."

She came up to support Ling Bo and left, Guo Luoluo and the others had no time to say anything, so they had to follow.

Ling Bo only had time to glance into the woods, only to see a corner of the blue robe fluttering, as if a young man turned around and hid behind the bushes.

Looking back at An Zhuxian's face, it didn't look like he was frightened, but his ears were red, as if he was a little shy.

Is it possible?Could it be that this little girl met spring?

"An Zhuxian, who did you meet?" She asked coldly.

"Ah! No...no one." An Zhuxian replied weakly, but couldn't help pressing the back of one hand to his face, it was so hot.
