Ye Zhen had never seen a dead person before, so she never expected the real scene to be a hundred times more terrifying than she imagined. In order to preserve the body, Nguyen was placed in a huge ice coffin, her skin glowing blue, her cheeks sunken, and although the corner of her mouth was smiling, it became more and more eerie.
Her muscles were frozen, and she couldn't bend her hands and feet at all. To change her clothes, she had to be picked up and played with slowly. I don't know where Guan Suyi came from so much strength, that one person can pick up the Ruan family, and then quickly take off the shroud and put on the court clothes.
During the action, the hole in Ruan's belly sewed with needles and thread was inevitably revealed, making Ye Zhen's hands and feet weak, if she didn't cover her mouth in time, she was afraid that she would collapse and scream on the spot. Guan Suyi also asked her to put shoes on the corpse, how dare she? Before he could touch his toes, he was frightened by the flickering candlelight, and ran out while shouting.
"There are ghosts, there are really ghosts! There are shadows on the wall!" She threw herself into Zhao Luli's arms, trying to be comforted, but found that he quickly pushed her away, then raised her hands and took two steps back, as if it was not right , put his hands behind his back, and said solemnly, "There are relatives, friends and guests outside, please don't talk about ghosts and ghosts, adding to the turmoil."
"But I really saw it." Ye Zhen rushed over with tears in her eyes, but was avoided again, only then did she realize that the momentary estrangement was not an illusion. what is this? Emperor Shengyuan accepted her but didn't touch her. Now even Zhao Luli wants to draw a line with her. What is this
Before she could understand, Guan Suyi lifted the curtain and said lightly, "The court clothes have been changed, and my younger brother and sister are not looking well. I will arrange her remains for her. Please wait a moment for your relatives and friends."
"Naturally, naturally." The guests who were a little flustered just now were infected by her and slowly regained their composure.
Then she glanced at Ye Zhen and explained, "The candlelight was shaken by the wind, and the light and shadow were disturbed. It happened that I asked her to change the shoes of her younger brother and sister, thinking that she was too scared and scared herself. If so, then Stay in the outer hall and recite the scriptures, so as not to scare you from getting sick."
Compared with her calm and graceful attitude, Ye Zhen, who was tearful and shouting, was like a clown jumping on the beam, which made people look down on it a bit.
Ye Zhen also recalled the taste, looked at Zhao Luli, and looked at the guests who were secretly disdainful, her pale cheeks flushed red. Although she has lived in the palace for a long time and has real power, she really doesn't need to handle anything. The internal affairs are basically handled by Bai Fu. Except for asking the expenses of the concubines in the palace, there is almost nothing to do, and in order to maintain her "gentle and kind" beauty The image, showing weakness everywhere, and playing tricks and tricks behind the scenes, has developed a temperament that is not on the table.
No one in the palace competes with her, she doesn't notice it, and now she has come to Guan Suyi to understand what the difference between clouds and mud is. She felt it so strongly herself, let alone others? Before the so-called "competition" started, she completely lost her momentum.
"I'm sorry, little sister, I made a fuss." She had to insist, "When I go in and sue my brother and sister, I hope she won't care about me in the spirit of the sky."
Guan Suyi didn't even look at her, she turned around and entered, and after a while, the word "come in" came out.
Ye Zhen inhaled again and again, but what she could smell was the musty smell of the corpse and the pungent smoke of the candle, she almost coughed.
Zhao Luli took a deep look at her, and suddenly said, "Don't compare yourself with your wife, so you don't have to go to the horns. You are afraid of these, I know; you are not good at common affairs, and I know too. Since you are back, treat as you always did. Look at the scenery in the yard, write poems, and don’t worry about anything.”
Xu was returning from Li Ren and standing by his side, the memories that had been blurred and then beautified in the past became real and clear. Ye Zhen may be very aware of the melody of the wind, flowers and snow, hurt the spring and sad autumn, but when it comes to housekeeping, it's a mess. At that time, the mother was still in good health, and she handled all the household affairs, both inside and outside, by herself. The two children were either left to the nurse and maid, or sent to the main courtyard to be taken care of by her in-laws. Dress up yourself brightly, then burn an incense burner, or sit by the lake and play the piano; or stand in front of the window to recite poetry; or improvise parallel poems to pass on to others for appreciation.
At that time, I thought that a woman who was so talented and unparalleled in aura was just a layman who was beautiful on the outside and empty on the inside. If she was determined to compare herself with Madam, she would only become more inferior and laugh at her generosity. Thinking of this, Zhao Luli warned again, "You stay at the Zhao family with peace of mind, I will not treat you badly, but I will not hurt your wife in the slightest for you. Don't call her sister by sister, I can see it. She doesn't like it."
Ye Zhen couldn't believe her ears. Are these unkind words really said by Zhao Luli, who had given up on her back then? What kind of ecstasy did Guan Suyi give him
But at this time, she obviously couldn't get to the bottom of it. She stared at each other with tears soaked in eyes, and when he was the first to dodge and dodge, she entered the mourning hall, and then was frightened by Guan Suyi. She, she was actually putting makeup on the corpse, gently smearing Ruan's blue face with her fingertips, is she still human
After applying it, she actually said to the dead Nguyen, "Brother and sister, this facial cream was specially developed by Jinzi for you. It can completely cover the birthmark on your face and blend well with your skin color. Because it contains A large amount of lead powder may be harmful to the fetus, so I temporarily detained it. I will give it to you when you have a smooth delivery, and ask you to go out beautifully and feast your guests generously. In the coming year, ask General Zhao to give you an official appointment and raise your head. However, things are unpredictable, I haven't sent this gift yet, you actually, you actually... "
She shed two lines of tears, but her expression became more determined. She picked up the pen to slowly trace her eyebrows, and sighed, "Now I can only let you walk beautifully, and you can go beautiful. Zhenlie, even if General Zhao marries the successor in the future, she will not be able to suppress you, let alone your child. You don't need to worry about the spirit of the sky. By the way, I will name the child Wynn, so that he will always remember his mother who sacrificed her life for him. The kindness of death. He is very healthy. He is full of energy when crying, and he does not look like a premature baby at all. If it is possible, I really want to hold him over so that you can take another look, but the air in the mourning hall is terrifying, and there are smoke and smoke. , I was afraid of hurting his body, so I had to give up..."
As she spoke softly, Nguyen's lifeless face returned to its original state little by little, with the birthmarks covered, the eyebrows drawn, and the rouge painted on, and her facial features were extraordinarily beautiful. If Zhao Jinyu came back and saw it, how amazing would it be?
The old lady finally cried uncontrollably, shouting "Second Wife" and then "Son", howling so loudly that she almost fainted. Guan Suyi hurried to help her, trying to persuade her, but Ye Zhen was already frightened and hid in the corner with her shoulders in her arms.
The relatives and friends outside ran in when they heard the sound, and when they saw the radiant Ruan, they all exclaimed in amazement, and then remembered the humbleness and cowardice in front of her. How would she have ended so miserably without Madam Guan? How to die without resting your eyes
If the child is not born, it must be one corpse and two lives. There is no official life and no posthumous title, and a thin coffin will be buried for three days. Compared with the present, how can it not make people feel a lot of emotion, and the sadness comes from it
"Second daughter-in-law, you can go at ease. With your sister-in-law, Wynn can't be worse. Second daughter-in-law, your life is hard, but your life is good. When you meet your sister-in-law, I will bury you and put on makeup for you myself. , I will send you to reincarnation with my own hands. You must be closed, right? But I am afraid! I am afraid that I will die in the future! If the Zhao family can't keep your sister-in-law, I will not dare to die! Only your sister-in-law in this family understands, Without her for my retirement, without her for my funeral, I dare not die, I can't close my eyes..."
The old lady was reluctant to partake of her second daughter-in-law, and just as Ye Zhen came back, seeing that the Zhao family was about to fall apart again, all the bitterness and grief in her heart were vented. She hoped that these words would make her eldest daughter-in-law soft-hearted, but she also knew that there was little hope, so she cried even more sadly.
God-killed Ye Zhen, why didn't she die in the palace? For the sake of their two children, the Zhao family can neither drive her away nor demote her. What should I do in the future
The old lady was almost gone, and Guan Suyi couldn't, so she had to hug her and pat and comfort her; Zhao Luli quickly knelt down and hugged the two of them and shook them gently; Zhao Wangshu, Zhao Chunxi, and Mu Mu also swarmed over. , hugged into a ball and cried. The appearance of a family of six licking each other's wounds is heart-wrenching and even more touching.
And Ye Zhen had already been squeezed out of the crowd, looking at all this with resentful eyes. She finally understood that a few years seemed to wear off Zhao Luli's love for her, and instead gave Guan Suyi a heavier feeling. The old lady and several children were also completely subdued by her, putting her first in everything.
The entire Zhao family was circling around Guan Suyi, and he was just an unnecessary burden. Thinking of this, Ye Zhen, who was already quite frightened, was even more shocked, she lost her energy and slumped on the futon. She had sweaty hair in a bun, her face was gray, and she looked extremely embarrassed. However, before she could recover, Guan Suyi had already comforted the old lady and several children, wiped away her tears and prepared to preside over the ceremony.
She had to hold up her sore legs and walked to Zhao Luli's left side to sit down. No matter what, she is also the original wife, and is qualified to be on an equal footing with Guan Suyi. But she underestimated the hard work of the sacrifice. It turned out that in addition to sitting and reciting the scriptures, she also had to stand up and bow down from time to time, kneeling down on her forehead; read another scripture, stand up and bow, kneel and kowtow, and so on.
Ye Zhen lived in the palace for a long time, pretending to be weak, but after a while, she became really weak, and she couldn't breathe after walking a few more steps. How could she face the two hours of tossing? She had a bad heart, but she could only carry it hard. Unexpectedly, just after reading two stanzas and bowing twice, she fell down on the futon and couldn't get up for a long time.
The sacrificial ceremony is the most solemn ceremony, and nothing can go wrong. However, today, because of the inexplicable return of the original wife, there have been many troubles. Shouldn't she be doing it on purpose? This is too vicious! If it's not intentional, then it's even more difficult to get on the table. It's better to lock it in the wing quickly, and don't come out to be ashamed!
Resentment loomed in the eyes of the guests, but Zhao Luli was helpless and exhausted. He knew that Ye Zhen was weak, but he didn't know that she was so weak that she couldn't even hold on to the sacrificial ceremony, what else could she do? Why he liked this kind of woman back then, now that he thinks about it, he finds it very unbelievable.
