Chapter 1222: Today is just the beginning
Pei Yuanhao stood at the door, holding the door frame with both hands, looking at me with wide eyes as if he couldn't believe his eyes: "You-"
I leaned over and bowed: "Meet the Emperor." β
ββ¦β¦β
"The folk girl is bothering again. β
He didn't speak, but his breathing grew heavier and heavier, as if even his chest was about to burst, and I felt his surging joy, but I felt a little inexplicably ridiculous about this joyβhe and I were both sober people, and acting like these little children not only made people laugh, but also made me feel funny. So he took a step back and said softly: "The folk girl still wants to stay by her daughter's side and wait until she recovers." This time I went back, cleaned up some soft things, and I didn't have to use the things in the palace, and I hoped that the emperor's majesty would approve it. β
The ecstasy in his eyes faded a little.
However, after all, he was still happy, he looked at me for a moment, and then said softly, "Okay, okay." As long as you're willing to stay in the palace, that's fine. β
I glanced at him and didn't answer.
And he said, "In that case, then if you liveβ"
"The folk girl thought about it, if the queen didn't get tired of it, the folk girl still wanted to stay in Jingren Palace. β
"That place is too simple," he frowned slightly, "If you want to stay in the palace for a long time, you should choose a better place to live." After all - you're going to live with Wonderland. β
I thought about it for a moment and said, "Wonderful words...... She'd lived in worse places in the past, and she was just as happy. It can be seen that it doesn't matter where you live, what matters is who you live with. β
His face slowly sank.
At this time, there was a sound of footsteps behind me, as if there were many people walking together, and when I looked back, it was Chang Qing, followed by Yang Jinqiao and them, as soon as I saw her, I hurriedly bowed down: "The people girl meet the queen." β
"Light!" she came over to help me up, turned around and saluted Pei Yuanhao, and even bowed down with the concubines behind her, Pei Yuanhao's face softened slightly, and said, "Why did the queen come over?"
"I heard from them that Sister Light is back again, so the concubine came to take a look. β
"The queen is well-informed. β
Chang Qing was stunned for a moment, and Pei Yuanhao had already slowly walked down the steps, and said with a smile: "Qingqing just arrived at the door of my imperial study, and the queen came over. β
Chang Qing smiled reluctantly: "It's also a big deal for Sister Qingqing to enter the palace again." β
Pei Yuanhao slowly paced behind her, looked at the group of concubines behind her, and said, "It's so together, it seems like the next post is invited." β
"Oh, just now, the sisters were talking together in Jingren Palace, and when I heard that, they came over together. β
Chang Qing probably didn't feel sorry for him in public like this, and he was a little apprehensive when he spoke, Pei Yuanhao listened, only laughed, and didn't answer, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little stiff.
Although Yang Jinqiao and Liu Li came with Chang Qing, after all, it was the emperor and queen who were talking, and they didn't have the right to interject at all, which showed that the people with eyes had already seen that Pei Yuanhao was a little unhappy now, and no one dared to speak at this time.
At this moment, a soft voice sounded beside him-
"The queen's mother is so detailed, it is the emperor's blessing. β
As soon as I heard this voice, it was like being blown through my clothes by the cold wind, and the whole person trembled, and when I looked back, I saw Chang Qing behind them, and slowly walked in a slender figure, it was Nangong Lizhu, wearing a snow-white fox fur, fluffy fur swept over her white cheeks, there was a crystal feeling like ice and jade, in such an icy and snowy place, the smile on the face with peerless beauty bloomed, as if spring flowers were blooming.
Pei Yuanhao's originally tense face eased slightly at this time.
He said, "Why are you here too?"
Nangong Lizhu saluted him first, and then got up and said with a smile: "The concubine just heard that the emperor locked herself in the imperial study, as if she was angry, and the concubine wanted to come over to take a look, but when she walked to the door, she saw that the queen mother and sisters had arrived." β
Pei Yuanhao turned his head at this time, and only then did he look at what he was looking at, although it was a land of ice and snow, it was full of beautiful nephrite, and his face eased more for a while, and Nangong Lizhu had already walked in front of Chang Qing, and saluted in a proper manner: "The concubine pays a visit to the queen." β
Chang Qing was as kind as a stream, and said with a smile: "Don't be polite, get up." β
Nangong Lizhu stood up, then turned his head to look at me.
"I didn't expect Miss Yan to enter the palace again so soon. β
......I looked at her, noncommittal.
She smiled again: "Since you are entering the palace again, why do you have to leave in the morning?
I also smiled: "The heart of His Majesty the Emperor naturally has a noble concubine to soothe him." The folk girl went out to toss and turn, and she came over with some change of clothes, and since it was already worrying, don't bother more people. β
Nangong Lizhu raised her eyebrows and didn't say any more.
At this moment, everyone stood in the snow for a long time, and a few concubines were weak-tempered, and they couldn't help the chill. Pei Yuanhao glanced at them and said, "Okay, there's nothing to do here, you all go back." Queenβ"
Chang Qing hurriedly said, "The concubine is here." β
"Light her, you still have to stay in Jingren Palace, you let them serve well. β
"Yes, the concubine obeys. β
After speaking, Pei Yuanhao glanced at me again, turned around and walked back to the imperial study.
Nangong Lizhu also glanced at the two of us, walked over and said with a smile: "The queen mother is going to work hard this time, if there is anything you need for your sister, you must tell your sister." β
Chang Qing smiled: "Naturally." β
"Then, the concubine retired. β
With that, she also left.
At this time, Chang Qing glanced back at me, probably because Pei Yuanhao and Nangong Lizhu had left, and her face also showed a little real fatigue and indifference, and she only said softly: "It's okay for you to come back." β
". β
"Let's go over and settle down first, and then talk about anything. β
ββ¦β¦ Be. β
Then there was nothing to say, I followed her, and Yang Jinqiao and they walked together.
Back at Jingren Palace, Su Su and Mama Wu knew that I was back again, and the two of them were so happy that they were going crazy, and hurriedly started cleaning the house. Speaking of which, I had only been gone for a few hours, and they were still busy, as if they were facing something big.
But I also know that it's a big deal.
My re-entry into the palace is not a trivial matter not only for me, but also for any concubine in this palace - otherwise, there would not have been that scene at the door of Pei Yuanhao's imperial study just now.
Thinking of just now, my brow couldn't help but furrow.
This is the first time I have seen the disharmony between Pei Yuanhao and Chang Qing, thinking about it, there should not be many times like this, after all, Chang Qing is a competent queen in addition to being unable to have children, managing the harem and assisting the emperor.
But today, in Pei Yuanhao's words, there is some dissatisfaction with her.
And, because of me.
For a long time, the relationship between me and Chang Qing, although there is no Jinlan contract, but I know her, she understands me, and the rest of the words don't need to be said, so when I go back to Beijing, she will take a great risk to come to see me, I will enter the palace, I will definitely live by her side, I regard her as a good friend, and I have tried my best to protect her, and now she is really my umbrella.
But I don't know, because of this, Pei Yuanhao will be dissatisfied with her.
Moreover, that kind of dissatisfaction is not something I can mediate, but just now, the appearance of Nangong Lizhu eased the situation a little.
When I thought of Nangong Lizhu, my heart lifted slightly.
If I lived in the palace for two or three days before, I only had a short confrontation with her, and I only relied on my own strength, then in the next time, if I often lived in the palace, and the two of them had to fight again, it would be more than just strength.
But after a while, the room was "cleaned up" by them, Xiaofuzi also sent the wonderful words over, we gathered together happily, Kou'er and Xing'er knocked on the door and walked in, and said with a smile: "Girl, the queen knows that the girl is in a hurry to come and go today, and she must not have come in a hurry to eat, just now Her Royal Highness the princess also came in a hurry, so she specially let us go to the imperial dining room to send some food to the girl." The girl will use it, don't dislike it. β
It was said that it would be used, but watching them go back and forth set up a large table, and the various dishes aroused people's appetites, I smiled and said, "I'm bothering the queen again." I also said I'd go over and say hello to her later. β
"Oh, it doesn't have to be," said with a smile after putting her things away, "Niang Niang has rested." β
"So early?"
"Well, the mother just came back and said that she had a headache, she knew that the girl must go over to say goodbye, so she specially asked us to come over and say, the girl doesn't have to be so polite, please be free. The girl came back this time as before, and if there was anything bad or inappropriate, just say, don't go outside. β
ββ¦β¦β
"Then, the girl and the princess will use it slowly, and the slaves and maids will take their leave. β
With that, they withdrew.
Su Su didn't know it, she had already sat down beside me with Miao Yan, and said with a smile: "It's so fragrant, Her Royal Highness the princess needs to eat a little more today." β
I sat down slowly, my brows furrowing involuntarily.
Chang Qing's words were indeed thoughtful and appropriate, but for some reason, it was a little strange to hear the end.
At this time, a bowl of hot soup was delivered to me.
When I looked up, it was Mama Wu, who filled a bowl of soup and handed it to me, and the expression on her face was somewhat dignified.
I subconsciously said, "Mama......"
She smiled faintly, and then said, "Since the girl has re-entered, she must also have the trouble of re-entering. Today is just the beginning. β
