Chapter Twenty-Seven: A War of Words
"Thank you Empress Dowager Qin for your appreciation, Lin'er is just seeking truth from facts." Shangguan Yelin lifted her eyelids, her long curly eyelashes were cold and frosty, and they were clear and beautiful.
"The mourning family heard that you made a big fuss about the Zunyi Mansion yesterday and beat the guards of the Zunyi Palace, is there such a thing?" The Empress Dowager Qin wore a Hunan red and purple palace robe, embroidered with large golden-red roses on the purple robe, and the thin silver thread outlined a delicate outline.
"It's true, Lin'er is just doing this to do her best to relieve the emperor's worries." An expressionless face, two slender embroidered eyebrows rippled indifferently, Ling Ran was absolutely powerful.
"Making a big fuss about the Zunyi Palace, and injuring the guards is also for the emperor's worries? What do you mean by that? Empress Dowager Qin stroked the slender armor on her little finger, and played with it without raising her head, extremely leisurely.
"Back to the Empress Dowager Qin, Lin'er inadvertently learned that King Zunyi owed a debt to the emperor, but she had not paid the debt for a long time, so Lin'er had to make this decision and go to Zunyi's palace to ask for the debt in person."
Shangguan Ye Lin only said that King Zunyi owed a debt to the emperor, but did not say what the debt was, nor did he say how he owed it, which made the concubines speculate in their hearts, and naturally the Empress Dowager Qin would not break the sand pot and ask in the end, after all, her own son King Chu Xiang was also involved, if this was known, it would definitely cause some criticism, presumably the Empress Dowager Qin would never do this.
"You're really ingenious in this way." The corners of Empress Dowager Qin's mouth hooked up with an incomprehensible smile.
A trace of jealousy flashed in Qin Liuxuan's eyes, her eyebrows rose slightly, and she slowly spoke, "Sister Lin'er is so smart and has helped the emperor solve a big problem, it seems that my sister should learn from Sister Lin'er." ”
As soon as Qin Liuxuan's voice fell, accompanied by the sound of 'popping' on the table, Empress Dowager Qin's cold rebuke sounded, "Presumptuous, I don't know how thick the sky is, don't you know that concubines in the harem are not allowed to interfere in politics?!" You are the queen who is about to be canonized, and it is simply uneasy to do so! The original smile was all gone, and Ling Li's gaze shot straight at Shangguan Ye Lin.
The concubines were taken aback by Empress Dowager Qin's actions, they were confused, and stood aside sluggishly, just now Empress Dowager Qin was still talking and laughing, why did she lose her temper so much at this time, and then they all secretly skimmed to Shangguan Ye Lin with a good look on their faces.
The jealousy in Qin Liuxuan's eyes instantly turned into schadenfreude, and a barely visible smile rose on her bewitching face, and the smile was full of mockery.
Empress Dowager Liu frowned slightly, and came out to play a round, "Sister, Lin'er did this just to share Xuan'er's worries, besides, Lin'er is still young and doesn't understand the rules of the palace, so I ask my sister to forgive Lin'er." ”
"Lin'er knows that she is guilty, if it weren't for King Zunyi, King Jingyuan and" Shangguan Ye Lin reported the person who owed Ouyang Xuanyue the debt, and when he reached the last one, he deliberately dragged his voice, glanced at the Empress Dowager Qin, and deliberately opened his mouth again, and before he could say the name of the last person, the Empress Dowager Qin had already spoken first, "For Lin'er's sake, for the sake of Lin'er, the mourning family will not be held accountable, but don't make the same mistake next time!" ”
"Lin'er will follow the teachings and never do it again next time." Shangguan Ye Lin leaned over slightly, lowered his eyebrows and raised a cold smile.
At this moment, a sharp voice sounded outside the door, "The emperor has arrived!" With the landing of the words, Ouyang Xuanyue walked in with the breeze, stepped forward, and saluted, "Erchen has seen the Queen Mother and the Empress Dowager Qin. Ouyang Xuanyue's cold and lethal eyes were so cold that they could freeze the heartbeat of others, and the corners of her lips hooked up a cold smile, and she also found a chair to sit down without waiting for Empress Dowager Qin's 'flat body'.
As soon as the concubines heard Ouyang Xuanyue's arrival, they all sorted out their appearances with each other, and when they looked at Ouyang Xuanyue, they all lowered their heads slightly, not daring to raise their eyes to look directly at Ouyang Xuanyue, but they just looked up from time to time, the handsome and extraordinary Ouyang Xuanyue made people unconsciously want to get closer, but the cold aura exuded from their bodies made people unable to take a step - leaving, reluctant, moving forward, but they were cold, so all the concubines maintained a sluggish expression and were stunned on the spot.
Shangguan Ye Lin looked sideways at Ouyang Xuanyue, and at the same time, Ouyang Xuanyue also looked back at Shangguan Ye Lin, her sharp black eyes contained a hint of pampering.
"Stand down, all of you." Empress Dowager Qin's eyes swept over the concubines present, and she waved her hand lightly.
The concubines heard the words of the Empress Dowager Qin, and suddenly came back to their senses, the emperor had just come, and the Empress Dowager Qin let them go, how is this good, you must know that they are in the harem but they can't see the emperor for a few months or even a year or two, this is not easy to meet, but I don't want to be just a short side, the Empress Dowager Qin spoke, and the concubines had no choice but to retreat.
When Empress Dowager Liu walked down the steps, she looked at Ouyang Xuanyue slightly, a trace of worry flashed in her eyes, and Ouyang Xuanyue looked back with a reassuring look.
Qin Liuxuan finally saw Ouyang Xuanyue, how could she leave willingly, turned her head and reached out to pull Empress Dowager Qin's hand, "Aunt." ”
"Let's go down." Empress Dowager Qin's gaze stayed on the door of Shangguan Ye Lin's departure, and patted Qin Liuxuan's hand with her hand, which looked unfathomable. I didn't expect this Shangguan Ye Lin to be so smart, and the rumors were completely like two people, one Ouyang Xuanyue was enough for her to deal with, and now there is another Shangguan Ye Lin, who has such a scheming at a young age, if she doesn't solve it as soon as possible, I'm afraid the consequences will be unimaginable.
When Ouyang Xuanyue got up and was about to leave, Empress Dowager Qin's voice floated over, "Does Xuan'er have something to retire first?" ”
Hearing this, Ouyang Xuanyue's slender figure stopped in place, the corners of his mouth rose lazily, and the high bridge of his nose lined his eyes extremely narrow, and he did not answer, but waited for the Empress Dowager Qin's next words.
"Xuan'er, now it's time for a hundred flowers to bloom, let's accompany the mourning family to the courtyard to enjoy the flowers." The Empress Dowager Qin got up, wearing a red and purple palace robe, and the feet of the robe decorated with crystal beads fell softly to the ground, rubbing soundly.
The beams and pillars and doors and windows of the courtyard of Jinghai Palace are mostly in light color, which is not dazzling color, and the roof tiles and eaves leaks are all glazed yellow, these colors are matched with the green of the grass and trees, causing people to feel quiet and leisurely, and when the flowers bloom, they are more dazzling with various flowers.
"Xuan'er won't be unhappy because the mourning family reprimanded Lin'er a few words, right?"
"Naturally not, but there is nothing wrong with Lin'er doing this, Empress Dowager Qin, you say yes." Ouyang Xuanyue stretched out her slender crystal fingers, stroked a flower that bloomed beautifully, and played with it gently.
If Empress Dowager Qin didn't know the specific details of Lu Dao, how could she know whether Shangguan Ye Lin was interfering in politics.
"The mourning family is also for the sake of the emperor, the harem has always been forbidden to interfere in politics, but Lin'er has violated the palace rules, Lin'er is the emperor's new favorite, and the emperor naturally will not blame, but in this way, it will attract gossip from other concubines in the harem, which is not good for the emperor and the court." Empress Dowager Qin's opinion is awe-inspiring, everything is considered for Ouyang Xuanyue, and she has the image of a loving mother.
