Chapter 101 [The Storm Begins]
Turmoil on the ground.
Since his father died tragically in exile, Ji Meiren, who had become extremely wooden, fell to her knees and kowtowed to the emperor three times before she said in a trembling voice:
"Your Majesty, Jiang Guifei privately detained the palace concubines, abused lynching to inflict others, and was not worthy of holding the phoenix seal, I hope Your Majesty and the concubines will be fair. ”
It was like water in boiling oil and fried the pan.
"What evidence do you have to insult this palace? Your father was greedy for the disaster relief funds of the Mo Imperial Court and died in exile, and after all these years, you are still haunted by it?"
Princess Tongbao and Parry Dai pulled Jiang Guifei away, but Ji Meiren didn't move like a pool of stagnant water, she only turned her head to look at Jiang Guifei, full of hatred,
"Your Majesty, the concubine should die, the concubine's father was taken care of by General Qi, but he was confused by interests, the greedy Mo court disaster relief silver is true, but it is not used for itself, every year from Shuo Fang looted by the people's fat and ointment are all sacrificed by the concubine to Jiang Guifei, the concubine is still ashamed of the Qi family, willing to die to apologize, only the concubine is also an accomplice and cannot be punished. ”
"Since Ji Meiren confessed her sins and begged for death, she gave Bai Aya three feet, and after her death, she was still buried as a beauty, as for Jiang Guifei...... Let's talk about it later. ”
Holding on until the end of the last word, the emperor got up and left from behind the pavilion with the hand of the Yunshang Palace, I don't know whether it was leaving the charcoal fire for cooking tea, or the fever on his body was not healed and the lake breeze blew, the emperor felt that this autumn was extremely cold.
Xi Yun thoughtfully handed the warm soup woman to the emperor, and sighed, "Your Majesty should be more careful. ”
The music was interrupted, and the few people who stayed in the seats saluted again, Nanxun Shangyi helped up the depressed Jiang Guifei, and was about to leave on the shoulder, but Jiang Guifei said to the prince: "No matter how this palace is, Xian'er has a merit for you to conceive Lin'er, although she was killed in the end and failed to give birth to a son and a half daughter, you should also treat her well, the Qi family is far from a pure-minded ...... You should be discerning. ”
Jiang Guifei didn't know Jiang Luxian's pickles, and she didn't think she had the guts, this entrustment also had some true feelings, maybe she remembered her entanglement with Queen Xiao, and then looked at Jiang Luxian, it was a little similar to her pitiful, no matter how high her status was, what if she couldn't get the king's heart?
Jiang Luxian, who was silent throughout the feast, almost fell to the ground when she heard her name, the silver chopsticks in her hand almost fell to the ground, she had been carefully eating the dishes of the palace maid, trying not to be noticed, and she didn't want to come to her own aunt to help her!
"Hmm...... is meritorious, Erchen will naturally treat Concubine Jiang well, but compared to the empress and concubine of the previous dynasty, the concubine has been in and out of the temple a few times, and Erchen is afraid that the East Palace will not be able to accommodate her ambition. ”
Bang, a pair of silver chopsticks fell to the ground in response to the prince's words, Jiang Lu hurriedly went to the ground to pick up, and her maid went to help, and when she sat up right in a hurry, she felt a beam of yin and measured sight, she knew that Jiang Guifei understood what the prince meant, and the Jiang family could not tolerate her who had ** things.
It turned out that he knew very well that the man was a monk. It turned out that the prince wanted to get rid of her through the hands of the Jiang family, because he was afraid of dirtying his noble hands, right?
Jiang Lu thought about it idly, as if falling into the abyss, in an ice cellar. The gaze stared at her for a long time before disappearing with the sound of the eunuch's footsteps lifting his shoulders.
The veils under the emperor's seat before were like ghosts fluttering, and the Ningyun Pavilion looked a little sluggish, and it happened that the three princes woke up and cried loudly, Concubine Chen said goodbye apologetically, and hugged the sad crying Concubine Jiang Guifei and his party also left.
Seeing that this banquet is about to break up unhappily, it is difficult to have a happy ending when returning to the family banquet with the prince and King Muyang.
The prince wanted to go back to the East Palace to pick up Qi Caicai as soon as possible, but he stood up but was held down by King Muyang's shoulder, and the two were lightning, Princess Tongbao thought about how to mediate and turn around, so that the atmosphere was calmer, but King Muyang spoke before her, and said with a smile:
"We brothers and sisters are left, and the eldest brother and we haven't seen each other for a long time, isn't it a little ruthless that the time is going to leave? ”
King Muyang's temperament seemed to have been much more restrained, and he didn't provoke any more trouble, but smiled meaningfully at the prince.
"The second brother is wrong, if you and the eldest sister come to my palace another day, you will definitely entertain the guests and hosts, and we brothers will not say anything about each other and say goodbye. The prince shook off King Muyang's hand on his shoulder, insisting on leaving, and his heart was extremely eager to see Caicai.
"Why doesn't the eldest brother give face like this, that's good, just listen to a song, a song. Anyway, regardless of whether the prince agreed or not, as soon as King Muyang waved his hand, the musicians who had played in the island in the middle of the lake before took a boat to the pavilion one by one.
"What are you going to do!"
When the prince turned around and wanted to leave, Princess Tongbao's heart-rending roar resounded through Xihuachi, he couldn't sit idly by and ignore this sister, his steps paused, and when he looked back, he saw Princess Tongbao holding up a scarred musician, and reached out for him to put the dirty broken hair on his forehead behind his ears without disgust, and Princess Tongbao's eyes were not only unbelievable but also rare anger.
King Muyang smiled even deeper, touched his chin with his index finger, and sighed: "Oh, you thought that the eldest sister would be happy to see her sweetheart? ”
"What do you want to do? If there is anything, you can come to me, the eldest sister has never been involved in political affairs, Yao Qian, are you necessary?" the prince asked King Muyang calmly, his thick eyelashes covering the turmoil in his eyes that he couldn't see clearly.
"What are you doing, please listen to the best music in the whole capital, you all call me by my full name, really, I don't know the hearts of good people. The same is not noisy or angry, Muyang Wang replied with a smile, and inserted one more sentence at the end: "Eldest sister, if you look like this, I don't know what kind of mood you should have." ”
Princess Tongbao cried, but not entirely because she felt sorry for the musician, but more because she was hurt by her relatives.
She has been used by Jiang Guifei as a stepping stone for King Muyang since she was a child, and even marriage is a bargaining chip, she is resentful and unwilling, but in the end she accepted it, and now she is no longer entangled in the throbbing of her youth, her biological mother, her brother, but she threatens herself again and again with this person.
When she co-signed those befriended noble ladies to ask the emperor to think twice about Qi Caicai's punishment of Qi Long, King Muyang said that it would make the musician uneasy for the rest of his life, she was worried, she knew how ruthless her brother was, but she was married to a wife, had a husband who loved her, and had a happy family, she couldn't protect the musician for a lifetime, so she sent someone to secretly send the musician out of the capital and live incognito in a county town, which was the only thing she could do for this musician - to save his life.
But now, the musician was in front of her, dying, and his hands that he was proud to play the world's instruments hung weakly.
