Chapter 113: Depose the Prince
Kunning Palace is the dormitory of the queen of the lord of the harem in the past dynasties, with a magnificent scale and graceful and luxurious. The pen "fun" pavilion www.biquge.info the main hall should be repaired the hall is the place where the queen sees guests, just a main hall, there are more than ten main halls of the general mansion of the town country.
There is a side hall in the east and west, which is connected from the rear by a long corridor to form a surrounding pattern, and there are two warm pavilions, which are located at the other end of the side hall, and then there is a small garden, planted with various flowers.
Empress Gao was the emperor's original wife, and she has been living in Kunning Palace since she got married at the age of fifteen. The queen is cold-indifferent, she doesn't like to be noisy, and in the huge palace room of the entire Kunning Palace, there are only a few dozen female officials and eunuchs, and there are only a few dozen women, which is not as good as the Liuguang Hall of the beautiful people.
Under the guidance of Female Official Yin, Jing Yan stepped into the Yixiu Hall from the main entrance, all the way lightly, like a breeze.
Yixiu Hall was originally called Luanming Palace, and the queen thought that this name was too public, so she changed it to Yixiu Palace.
The four corners of the wide and high Yixiu Hall have a bucket arch structure, and the gold painting and phoenix carving are exquisite, showing the royal grace.
From a distance, Jing Yan saw a beautifully dressed but slightly thin woman sitting on the main seat of the main hall, talking and laughing sideways with the two women in gorgeous clothes like Zhilan jade trees beside her.
Although the atmosphere between the three of them is extremely harmonious, and it can be seen that the relationship is relatively close, but there is no noise to be heard in such a conversation, and the scene of such a conversation alone can already make people see the difference between the royal family and the family.
Jing Yan walked to the middle, lowered his head and was very respectful, neither humble nor arrogant, and bowed down generously, and bowed to the ground.
"The courtiers Jingyan visited the queen, Lan Fei Niangniang, such as Concubine Niangniang, may the queen be blessed with a thousand years of happiness, Concubine Lan Niangniang is auspicious, and Concubine Lan is blessed with Jin'an."
The queen smiled and nodded, turned her head to look at Concubine Ru and Concubine Lan on the side, and whispered, "It's a likable one at first glance." ”
Listening to such obvious appreciation, Jing Yan still maintained a proper smile and did not get up. Concubine Lan and Concubine Ru on the side also nodded, they couldn't call her up without the queen's order.
After a while, the queen finally said, "Get up and sit down." The female official Yin on the side immediately ordered the palace people to bring a Taishi chair with dragons and phoenixes and put it under Concubine Ru.
The queen looked at Jing Yan and sat on the chair with low eyebrows, not saying much, and was very happy in her heart. Gao is usually an indifferent character, and he also likes people who don't talk much and can do things, so he is very disgusted with an aggressive woman like Miruo.
"Okay, it's all your own people, don't be restrained." The queen smiled and ordered the palace maid to serve tea.
Concubine Ru beside her couldn't hold it anymore, reached out and held Jin Yan's arm, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a few days, my sister is getting more and more outstanding!" ”
Jing Yan finally raised his head, and what caught his eye was a gentle and supple beautiful face, like a concubine's black waterfall like green silk hanging down, combing a ring bun on both sides, and then inserting the gold jasper lotus flower to shake, the long tassels hanging on the temples, looking particularly gentle and fresh.
"Where does the mother say, the scenery is mediocre, and it is not as good as the appearance of the two mothers and the queen." Jing Yan replied with a smile.
"Eh, where is it, Mrs. Yujun don't push it back, now there are Mrs. Pingjing who are so beautiful and wise, and there is no second person in this palace!"
It was Concubine Lan who spoke, the high side bun stretched her face more slender, the smile that couldn't be hidden in a pair of eyes looking forward to Shenfei on her white skin, and a few freshly picked orchids were inserted between the sideburns, canceling out the sharp feeling of the high side bun, leaving an orchid-like elegance and indifference.
"Yes, Mrs. Yujun made Mo'er dispel the idea of marrying that unruly princess this time, and she really has to be rewarded!" The queen chimed in.
Compared with the fresh blooming concubine and the quiet and elegant Concubine Lan on the side, the queen looks like a flower that is about to fall in the autumn wind, her thin body is hidden in the huge rouge phoenix robe, she is a little weak and unable to hold up, and there is a rare smile on her long and thin face, which is a little more joyful than the sad face when she hunts.
"The queen mother praised it falsely." Jing Yan bowed his head and replied.
At this moment, the palace maids on both sides came with tea, the queen waved her hand, and then said: "These are the new white fog tips, and the Internal Affairs Office has not yet distributed them, so I will give them a taste for the two sisters and Mrs. Yujun." ”
The three of them immediately thanked them, and then took the yellow porcelain three-color tea bowl from the palace maid's hand, skimmed the tea leaves, and lowered their heads to taste them.
"It is said that this white fog tip is the first batch planted after the disaster in Fengcheng Yushan, and the people in order to thank the emperor for his mighty grace, this batch of new tea was quickly sent to Pingjing, which is really a good taste."
"Sister Concubine Lan is well-read and knowledgeable, and she thinks more than she tastes, if you continue to talk about this, I'm afraid you won't be able to drink it later!" The queen said angrily, but Concubine Ru just smiled and didn't speak, which shows that Concubine Lan and the queen have a worse friendship.
"What does my sister think of this tea?" Rufei said softly.
Jing Yan lowered his head and took a sip, the warm tea passed from the tip of his tongue, and suddenly a burst of fragrant fragrance lingered on the tip of his tongue, and before it could dissipate, it spread between his lips and teeth, and it entered the throat, hit his mind, and had a long aftertaste, as if he had stepped into the white mist peak of Fengcheng Yu Mountain, wandering in the fog of the fairy air, fluttering as if becoming an immortal.
"This tea lives up to its name, refreshing people's hearts, first sweet and then bitter, then bitter and then sweet, the taste is very good, it is really a peerless tea."
The queen nodded appreciatively: "That's true, the world's character is the tip of the white mist, but they only care about this first sweetness, and swallow it in a hurry, like swallowing dates, but they don't know that the bitterness and mellowness that come after are the essence of this tea." I didn't expect Mrs. Yujun to be a good tea drinker. ”
In fact, Jing Yan has never drunk the tip of the white fog, and he doesn't know that this tea has three products, but looking at the queen's slightly proud look and the freshness in the eyes of Concubine Ru, you can know that this tea is extraordinary, so she has the patience to taste it carefully.
Just as the three of them were talking and laughing and drinking tea, they saw a person who looked like a eunuch walking towards Kunning Palace in the distance, with fast steps and a solemn expression, and when they arrived at the gate of the palace, they drove straight in, stopped outside the Yixiu Palace, and hurriedly said a few words to Lady Yin.
Female Official Yin's expression changed suddenly, and then she bowed down and entered the Yixiu Palace, quietly walked to the queen's side, and said a few words in her ear.
The smile on the queen's face disappeared in an instant, and she ignored the second concubine and the outsider, and said in a lost voice: "What! The emperor wants to depose the crown prince?! ”
This is really very terrible news, Concubine Ru and Concubine Lan changed color one after another, and the expressions in their eyes changed, but they couldn't help but not speak.
Jing Yan on the side lowered his head and sat calmly, as if he hadn't heard anything. The tip of the white mist on the small table was still emitting a mellow smell, but no one was in the mood to taste it anymore.
After all, the queen noticed her gaffe, and her already haggard face became a little sad, sighed, and then stood up: "Swing and go to Kangqian Palace." ”
She hurried forward, her long phoenix robe as if to wrap her whole person. Female official Yin walked in front with a panicked expression, and immediately ordered the eunuch and the palace maid to lead the way to Kangqian Palace with a skirt.
The atmosphere in the Yixiu Hall became weird, the queen had already stood up, and Concubine Ru and Concubine Lan had no intention of sitting anymore, and followed the queen all the way towards Kangqian Palace.
Female Officer Yin looked at the queen who looked worried and a little angry, and said cautiously: "Niangniang, Mrs. Yujun ...... her."
The queen didn't think about it, so she spoke: "Let her go with her!" ”
Concubine Ru and Concubine Lan, including the queen, are a little confused, the news that the prince wants to marry Princess Miruo has obviously been blocked, and the emperor cannot know, the princess has also returned to the Western Jin Dynasty, why is the emperor still angry to the point of deposing the prince.
Time was pressing, and the queen and the second concubine did not take a sedan chair, but walked all the way to the outside of the Kangqian Palace. The little eunuch who had just come over to report the news saw that the queen had arrived, and hurriedly informed the big eunuch Chang De inside, Chang De wiped the sweat on his forehead, and wanted to inform the emperor, but saw that the queen had rushed in like a gust of wind, and together with the two concubines behind her, they all stepped into the Kangqian Palace, menacing.
Jing Yan followed behind them, carefully observing the situation around them.
Kangqian Palace is the emperor's bedroom, but at this moment everyone is outside the imperial study. As soon as they stepped into the palace, they had already sensed the solemnity of the atmosphere, and all the palace people lowered their heads and did not dare to say a word, as rigid as a puppet.
The more inside, the more solemn the atmosphere became, until outside the imperial study, I saw a group of people kneeling in rows, trembling, the emperor wearing a bright yellow dragon robe with his hands behind his back, he couldn't see the look on his face, but he could detect his fingertips that were pale from exertion, and the overwhelming sense of oppression suddenly rushed in.
Don't look at the emperor holding Sheng Meiren's faint and happy expression, it is also very terrifying to become serious.
At a glance, the queen saw the prince kneeling in the middle with his head bowed, and immediately became angry, stepped forward and shouted regardless of the image: "The emperor wants to depose the prince, does he want to depose me as the queen first!" ”
The emperor had already heard the footsteps, but he didn't expect that the queen would be followed by the favored second concubine, and even the famous Mrs. Yujun was among them, and he was a little surprised.
However, this accident was quickly washed away by anger, he snorted coldly, looked at the queen coldly, and his tone was very detached: "What does the queen mean by this, could it be that she wants to threaten me?" ”
The queen has always been extremely deferential, but now she only heard the news that the crown prince was about to be deposed, so she hurriedly rejected the emperor's words. Unexpectedly, the other party had no intention of quarreling at all, and his tone was extremely cold, and the queen suddenly realized her gaffe, bowed her head and said, "The concubine doesn't dare." ”
The emperor waved his hand: "I don't blame you. ”
If the emperor can say such a thing, it means that the matter has not reached the point of no return, and the queen's tone became softer, and she lowered her head and asked: "The emperor, please calm his anger, the concubine just wants to know what the prince has done, and the emperor is so angry." ”
The emperor's face immediately became gloomy, and his eyes gradually released an unprecedented gloom, and he glanced at the people who knelt on the ground, and then pointed to one of them: "Chen Daoyuan, you say!" ”
