Chapter 54: The New Favorite
"Who cleaned up this room?" Han Xin raised his head, stared at Wanxi, and asked crisply. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Although she is very young and not tall, the momentum on her body is ten percent similar to Shi Jiao'e. Of course, this is also due to the fact that she is dressed up today, which is more serious.
"It's the queen who takes care of it herself. Last night I learned that the princess would come, and the mother didn't sleep all night. Wanxi lowered her head slightly and replied respectfully.
Han Xin didn't speak, but her eyes flickered.
She ...... Didn't sleep last night? Han Xin's voice was very small, almost inaudible, as if he was asking, but more like he was talking to himself.
Wanxi did not answer.
Han Xin didn't ask again, but walked into the room, observing the ornaments in the room, one by one, carefully inspecting them, and not letting go of any detail.
There was an eerie silence in the room.
"This tea set...... Also chosen by the queen? Han Xin's hand brushed the teacup on the table, although his expression was calm, his voice trembled a little.
This is a set of white jade tea sets, and if she remembers correctly, her mother had a similar set at the beginning.
She was very young at the time and couldn't drink tea, but she always liked to snatch her mother's tea set. The mother was so troubled that she couldn't do anything, so she gave her a teacup to drink water and put away the teapot and other teacups.
Later, she used that teacup for several years, and she has always been very precious. After having a younger brother, her mother occasionally ignored her, and once she went to fetch water to drink, but broke the teacup.
That day, she cried for a long time, and she cried very sadly, and she didn't listen to any coaxing. The mother took the exact same teacup, and she cried and shouted that she would not change it, so she had to be the original one.
After a long time, my mother would make fun of her whenever she remembered it.
Later, I don't remember.
A trace of confusion flashed in Han Xin's eyes. In fact, even these memories are already very vague, and I only dream about them occasionally, but I don't know if it really happened.
"The tea set is the queen's." Wanxi replied.
Han Xin's expression was a little cramped, she bit her lip, turned her gaze away stiffly, pretended to look at the chair next to her, and stopped talking.
Wanxi didn't speak.
After a long while, Han Xin's eyes dared to glance this way, and he secretly looked at Wanxi.
She ...... What kind of person is he? Han Xin asked pretending to be unintentional. The look was a little curious, a little inquisitive.
Wanxi's heart warmed, and in the face of such innocent eyes, a wave of good feelings suddenly rose. Princess Xin'er should be a kind child.
"The slave doesn't know." Wanxi shook her head.
Han Xin pouted unhappily, probably feeling that this was inappropriate, but quickly reined in, put on a straight face again, and made a serious look.
Wanxi smiled secretly in her heart and explained: "The slave maid has not been serving the mother for a long time, and it is really not clear. If the princess is curious, why don't she find out for herself? ”
Han Xin pursed the corners of his lips and did not speak.
……
On the other side, Liu Suizhu sat all night, but did not wait for Han Xiu to come back. She waited all morning, but she didn't wait for the edict of the concubine.
Without an edict, there would be no position, and her identity in the palace would be very embarrassing.
She is obviously Han Xiu's favorite concubine and the biological mother of Han Xiu's son. But in the palace, even a female official with the lowest rank has a higher status than her.
Why? Why!
Liu Suizhu's eyes were blood-red.
No one knows Han Xiu better than her. As an emperor who rose from the common people, Han Xiu didn't like proud and strong noblewomen, nor did he like the graceful and assertive little family Jasper. Han Xiu only likes one kind of woman, that is, she is weak and helpless, and can only cling to his silk flowers.
Liu Suizhu has always behaved like this woman. She flattered him everywhere, obeyed him in everything, completely gave up on herself, pinned all her honor and disgrace on him, and looked forward to his favor.
But in the end, she had nothing.
From Han Xiu's insistence on leaving last night, regardless of her kneeling and crying, she knew that she had not even kept the grace she was most proud of.
She became a joke!
A complete joke!
Liu Suizhu's eyes were bloodshot, and there seemed to be a fire burning in her chest. Her heart and lungs, her five internal organs, seemed to have turned into hot oil, burning fiercely.
Can't sit still!
You can't sit still!
She can't pin all her hopes on Han Xiu, a man. She still has a son, and she's going to plan for herself!
She wants to be the queen mother!
She wants to put her son on the throne!
She can't be like before, being a silk flower who is only attached to Han Xiu! As long as it is for the sake of her son's throne, she will do whatever it takes! Anything that stands in her son's way, she will eradicate them one by one!
Shi Jiao'e!
She wants to get rid of Shi Jiao'e first!
……
And what about Shi Jiao'e, what is she doing at this time?
"Back to Niangniang, the emperor just left the early court, and immediately left the palace, saying that he was going to observe the people's feelings." The one who replied was the female official Fengyi, who was now transferred to Shi Jiao'e's side to manage the internal affairs of Zhaoyang Palace.
Shi Jiao'e nodded and did not speak.
"Niangniang...... Lady Cui raised her head, a rare trace of emotion appeared on her face, and said, "The emperor's dragon body is precious, how can he leave the palace easily?" ”
In any dynasty and generation, there is no such thing!
The first day after the emperor ascended the throne! I just dispersed in the palace for the morning, and I couldn't wait to run outside the palace immediately, just to accompany a woman outside the palace to visit the Rouge Building!
And the queen even tolerates this kind of thing!
Such an emperor is not as good as ......
The lady of grace quickly lowered her head, wiped away all the emotions in her eyes, and buried the name in her heart deeply.
Can't think about it, can't mention it!
Anything related to the previous dynasty, she must forget it cleanly! At no time, on any occasion, can it be mentioned again!
"The emperor has his own plans." Shi Jiao'e said calmly, without any emotion.
The emperor's plan, she didn't know.
But her intentions......
The emperor has always executed it very well! Even better than she expected!
She just told Jing Yan that if someone asked her to inquire about the emperor's preferences, she would spread the matter of Han Xiu's preference for beauties without a trace.
And, it must be a delicate beauty. The kind like a little rabbit, pitiful, shy and timid, sobbing in a low voice at every turn, especially when I see pity, so that men can't help but want to pity when they see it.
Jingyan has only been back in Beijing for three days, and she only participated in a reception and dust, and someone in Beijing has prepared a "niece!" ”
The power is moving!
Liu Suizhu didn't know, but Shi Jiao'e knew it clearly: Han Xiu had been drinking and having fun with his brothers every day since he entered Beijing. Every time he got drunk, he didn't go back to Ryuhime's yard to rest, but just rested outside.
Liu Suizhu only thought that Han Xiu was socializing outside, but she didn't think that the local feudal king could dedicate her, a dancing girl, to Han Xiu. Then the officials in Beijing can naturally also offer their "nieces"!
