Chapter 611, Shun Concubine (II)
Hongli felt a little sorry for his biological mother, and he always felt that if he hadn't given birth to him, his biological mother would not have been killed by the Empress Dowager Xiaojingxian. To this day, he can only posthumously honor his biological mother as the imperial concubine, not the queen mother, which is his eternal regret.
Because of this regret, even if the concubine does not look outstanding, she can still live a very nourishing life in the palace.
Concubine Shun looked at the Ming with a smile, and suddenly said: "Today is the death day of the Emperor Concubine of the Xi Holy Emperor, can the Imperial Concubine go to the memorial service together?"
Ming pursed his lips and smiled, "You just have to go, this palace has its own plans." β
Concubine Shun was stunned, obviously, she didn't expect Hao Ming to refuse her kindness. Everyone knows that after today's court, the emperor went straight to the Baohua Hall to recite the scriptures and pray for blessings. Today is also the day when the emperor misses and admires the concubine of the Emperor Xi the most, if he accompanies the emperor on this day, it will definitely increase in the emperor's mind.
Concubine Shun's eyes couldn't help but reveal a look of astonishment, such an invitation, changed to any concubine in the palace, and even the queen was reluctant to refuse! In the past, when the concubine of Emperor Xi died, Concubine Ling also hinted that she should take her with her, where was Concubine Shun willing to let Concubine Ling take away this unique companionship? So she refused, but it was not good to tear her face with Concubine Ling, so she took Concubine Ling's handmade vegetarian food.
Concubine Xi Shenghuang is her own aunt, only she can go to the memorial service justifiably, if others don't know how to get up, it will only annoy the emperor. Unless, with her invitation......
But the imperial concubine refused her invitation.
Concubine Shun smiled stiffly, "That's a pity, the concubine has retired." Concubine Shun did not show the slightest displeasure, and saluted respectfully as usual, and then Shi Shiran went to the direction of Baohua Palace.
Xiao Wenzi couldn't help but say: "Niangniang, the emperor is praying for blessings in the Baohua Palace!
Boo Ming waved his hand. "It's okay, this palace has its own plans. "--Whether the concubine goes or not is her own business, and it is a matter of course for people to pay tribute to her aunt, and no one can put a beak in it. And Hongli ...... If he wanted to call her, he would have sent someone to deliver the message. If not. She won't take the initiative to post it.
Left and right, what is her bottom line, Hongli knows it in his heart.
Just don't cross the line. She could see the rest.
Isn't it just to accompany the memorial service? It's not to sleep with you! The old lady doesn't care! Hmph!!
With a bang, a piece of golden horn was shattered!
Xiao Wenzi shrunk his neck and didn't dare to say more than half a sentence.
Baohua Hall.
On the shrine in the hall. It was full of cakes, snacks, and fresh fruits, and the incense candles were burning strongly. Sandalwood is coming. Hongli is kneeling on the futon in the middle of the Buddha, his eyes closed, a string of agarwood beads in his hand, and the Lotus Sutra is humming in his mouth.
At this time. Wang Qin bowed and walked in.
Hongli heard footsteps, opened his eyes, and he glanced at them. Asked: "Is the imperial concubine here?" - Ming'er knows that today is the death day of my biological mother.
Wang Qin said cautiously: "Go back to the emperor." Here it is...... Shun Concubine Niangniang. β
Hongli let out an "oh", "Yes, she should come." When he said this, his face could not hide his disappointment.
Wang Qin asked, "Do you want to invite Concubine Shun Niangniang in?"
Hongli sighed, "That's it, everyone is here, and it's also a thought." So saying, he stood up and dusted off the powder of incense ash stained on his clothes.
Wang Qin comprehended his thoughts, hurriedly retreated, and led the Shun concubine Niu Hulu into the Baohua Palace.
Concubine Yingying bowed, "The concubine asks the emperor for peace, and the emperor is blessed with peace." β
Hongli let out a long breath, "You're here." β
Concubine Shun hurriedly picked up the silk and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, "Today is my aunt's death day, concubine...... It is time to do a filial piety. β
Hongli nodded again and again, and looked at Concubine Shun's gaze and couldn't help but soften a little.
Concubine Shun said again: "When the concubine came, she passed by the Qianqiu Pavilion and saw it...... Imperial Concubine Niangniang. β
Hongli's face was stunned, and he couldn't help but say: "On such a rainy day, why did she go to the Imperial Garden?
When Concubine Shun saw Hongli's concern, she couldn't help but feel sour in her heart, and said: "The imperial concubine looks good, please rest assured." β
After a pause, Concubine Shun said softly: "The concubine just invited the imperial concubine to come with her, but the imperial concubine ...... Don't seem to want to come. β
Hearing this, Hongli's face turned cold, "What do you mean by 'don't seem to want to come'?!Can this kind of thing be ambiguous?!" -- Concubine Shun said, "It doesn't seem to want to come", at least it can be explained that Yu Ming didn't say "don't come to Baohua Palace"!
Hongli's stern tone made Concubine Shun's heart jump suddenly, and she hurriedly explained: "Concubine...... The concubine did invite the imperial concubine, but the imperial concubine did not agreeβ"
"If you haven't agreed, it doesn't mean you won't come!" Hongli's face was very ugly, if he didn't know Ming'er's personality best, he was afraid that he would be provoked by Shun Concubine's words!!!
Concubine Shun was so aggrieved that she wanted to cry, but she didn't lie, and the emperor was furious with her because of such a sentence...... Compared with the gentle cousin of the emperor in Japan, it is like a different person!
The imperial concubine is really so good, and it is worthy of the emperor's maintenance everywhere? Can't even say half a bad word?! If this is the case, where will there be a place for her in the future by the emperor's side?!
Hongli turned his head and ordered: "Wang Qin! You go and invite the imperial concubine to come, I want to verify it! Is it really as Shun Concubine said, the imperial concubine doesn't want to come!!" Hongli snorted coldly, and his face became more and more cold.
Concubine Shun was in a panic, and the emperor sent someone to invite, who in this palace would not come? If the imperial concubine came, wouldn't she be suspected of bullying the monarch? She didn't say anything excessive, why did the emperor treat her like this?
Concubine Shun was busy wiping away her tears, she was afraid of falling into the name of a bully, so she hurriedly said: "The emperor's invitation, and the concubine's invitation, naturally not the same day, the imperial concubine must come." β
Hongli's eyes showed a little annoyance, "I chose you to enter the palace, it is because I fancy you to be gentle and cautious, so I gave you the title of the word 'Shun', you should always remember to save yourself, don't learn from those jealous women!!"
A jealous woman's posture made Concubine Shun's heart skip a beat, but then it was Yi'an, at least the emperor didn't care about the suspicion of bullying the king. Concubine Shun hurriedly bowed down and said, "Yes, the concubine knows that she is wrong, and she asks the emperor to forgive her sins." "--But the heart is boiling sour, yesterday the palace concubine to the emperor and concubine, she also laughed at Ying Concubine will only show Chu Chu pitiful, but the result is an egg to hit the stone, ridiculous and self-conscious. I didn't expect her to be much better than Ying Concubine!
Concubine Shun thought that the status of the imperial concubine in the emperor's mind could not be shaken even by half a point! She would never have been able to do it! If it weren't for the fact that she was the niece of the imperial concubine of the Xi Holy Emperor, today, I am afraid that the emperor would not be able to expose it with just a few words of reprimand. Now I can only hope that the queen will quickly get rid of the imperial concubine...... (To be continued.) )
