Chapter 480: Back to the roots
The lights and candles in the Zixia Palace are warm, softly reflecting the six table screens with clear water and long sky. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
The beauties around her are dark and fragrant, and the appearance of light makeup is beautiful and dusty, and the hairpin of agarwood is low-key and restrained, which is still the tranquil and peaceful appearance of the past.
Xu Zhaoyi never caused trouble, never chewed the root of his tongue beside the king, and today he was helpless, to a little pitiful. Emperor Chongming felt pity, stretched out his hand to help, and ordered her to sit down and talk.
Xu Zhaoyi didn't get up, but kowtowed respectfully. With the movement of her body, most of the green silk slid down on her chest, and her face with black hair and light makeup was even more like a shimizu hibiscus.
"Since the last incident, the queen mother personally passed on the decree to return the innocence of the concubine, and His Majesty comforted her in every possible way, the concubine should not have been so eager to repay it, to find the bad luck of Guo Shang Palace. Unexpectedly, a secret was discovered by a concubine. I've been holding it in my heart for a long time, but I can't figure it out, so I ask Your Majesty for some advice. ”
Xu Zhaoyi often shared the worries of Queen Chu, and once assisted her in the six palaces and took care of the affairs of the internal affairs office, and her eloquence was good. He also knows the character of Emperor Chongming, and knows how to control his emotions. At that moment, Guo Shanggong's suspicions were revealed, and the words were clear and coherent.
Seeing that Emperor Chongming was thoughtful, Xu Zhaoyi leaned down and bowed again, and took two steps forward with his knees as his feet, and two teardrops hung on his slender eyelashes, which seemed to be falling, which looked particularly moving.
"The concubine doesn't want to embarrass His Majesty and the queen, and she doesn't dare to complain to Mrs. Anguo that her palace is not strict, only this Guo Shanggong is acting strangely, and she is afraid that there will be some evil forces behind her. ”
Xu Zhaoyi's words changed, and he mentioned the canonization ceremony that was about to be: "In the past, the position of the third prince was just agreed, and there was a matter of A Yingxuan. Now that the canonization ceremony is just around the corner, I'm afraid that some people will be uneasy in private. If there is a problem with the missions of the two countries in our palace, Xixia will naturally be speechless, and the world that has not been settled for many years may come again. ”
didn't dare to complain to Mrs. Anguo, but Xu Zhaoyi also smartly ordered eye medicine. It's not that the royal majesty is not strict, but I am afraid that someone in King An's mansion will collude with evil forces long ago, but she is a housewife who doesn't know it. I only know how to take care of the countryside, send love to flowers and plants, and do some sad things in the spring and autumn, which is really resentful.
On that day, Queen Chu cleaned up the harem and removed the eyeliner everywhere, and there were many hidden piles buried by Su Duhan, but it was gone.
No one knows if this harem seems to be like an iron wall or not, if you just catch some small fish and shrimp, and leave a big person like Guo Shanggong alone, there is still no secret in the palace. And because of this, the envoys of the two countries will stir up a big wave in the world, and I am afraid that someone will profit.
Xu Zhaoyi is smart and does not face the enemy of King An's mansion, but he directly points to the safety of the palace and puts King An's mansion in a very embarrassing position, which is the embarrassment of Emperor Chongming's fear of Su Duhan but unable to kill him immediately.
Emperor Chongming picked up Xu Zhaoyi, his eyes seemed to be uneasy, but there was some undercurrent surging in his heart. He asked calmly, "It's hard for you to be careful, but have you ever found out the ins and outs of the matter?"
"It's about Ah Xuan's safety, how dare the concubine not be unreasonable?" Xu Zhaoyi lowered her head, revealing a pair of turquoise earrings in her ears, reflecting the snow-white earlobes, which looked more and more pitiful.
can not know the prophet before Concubine Du makes a move, Guo Shanggong is suspicious, but if he wants to cover it up afterwards, he is even more taboo. Although many days have passed, Xu Zhaoyi is still clear, and repeats the words of her inquiry to Ling Sizheng without a word.
The palace was really dressed as a sieve, and even these people in important positions couldn't escape suspicion.
The shock on Emperor Chongming's face flashed away, and he barely suppressed the gloom in his heart, and patted Xu Zhaoyi's hand comfortingly: "I remember everything you said, I am always tired of your grievances this time, and I remember your benefits in my heart." Over there in Guo Shanggong, have you ever been keeping an eye on it?"
Xu Zhaoyi bowed her head slightly: "As soon as the last incident came out, the concubine paid attention to her, and she really found out that she was acting strangely a few times, and now no one pays attention to it in private." ”
The distance between Guo Shanggong and Shoukang Palace, the attitude with Mama Bai, and her behavior of living in seclusion are all loopholes if you zoom in.
On two occasions, Xu Zhaoyi's people followed Guo Shanggong out of the palace, not daring to get too close, but she got rid of the figure after three rounds and two turns.
Xu Zhaoyi spoke cautiously and narrated in an orderly manner. The three of them are still tigers, and several trumped-up charges are linked together, and Guo Shanggong's behavior is becoming more and more suspicious.
Emperor Chongming was thoughtful, and his fingers gently stroked his beard. There was a sharp flash in his clear eyes, and he returned to his usual clarity in an instant, and only instructed Xu Zhaoyi: "Pay more attention in the future." ”
Naturally, he didn't expect to bring down Guo Shanggong with a single speech, Xu Zhaoyi had already cast a shadow in the emperor's heart, so he wisely closed the topic. Knowing that Emperor Chongming did not stay here, she only thoughtfully understood the corners of Emperor Chongming's clothes that were a little wrinkled, and obediently sent Emperor Chongming out.
Whether it is the singing and dancing life in the palace and the undercurrent of private, as well as the upcoming liquidation in the Jiangyin area, for the people of the Gusu Imperial City, they are like outsiders.
Ushering in a splendid golden autumn, in exchange for a rich year, the days are still as quiet as flowing water, and ordinary people stay together, just the most ordinary and ordinary happiness.
The wife of the prime minister of Da Ruanguo, who was protected by Xia Yuzhi that day, is now in good spirits and has settled in the Gusu Imperial City, with a pair of small children, and her life is gradually stable.
No one in the imperial city knew her original identity, and after taking Xia Yuzhi's new household registration documents, Mrs. Ruan did not change her name or surname, and changed her name back to the boudoir, and even changed her ancestral home back to the Qingzhou Mansion people's name.
Counting up several generations, Mrs. Ruan's maiden family was originally a big family in Qingzhou Mansion, but because of the war, it was scattered and fell to the vicinity of the Great Ruan Kingdom that day. Now holding a cluster of new documents in his hand, to the happiness of some fallen leaves.
Seeing that the entanglement was almost exhausted, Mrs. Ruan was hard again. She didn't want to ask Xia Yuzhi to help her family, so she exhausted the few pieces of jewelry she had left, set up a small shop on East Fourth Street, and started a pastry and dim sum business.
The halal pastries in Qingzhou Mansion are most famous for honey three knives, rose moon cakes, longevity cakes and peach cakes. Now that I have opened this pastry shop, I am not only making a living, but also remembering the past.
Mrs. Nguyen divided the small shop into two rooms, inside and outside, where pastries were processed, shelves were set up, and a square wooden table was set up with needles and needles, and some samples were placed in it for everyone to taste.
Since she didn't ask for anything, Mrs. Ruan only waited for the day before the store opened to hand over a post to Xia Yuzhi and Xia Lanxin, inviting them to come and taste it.
