In the Zichen Palace, the incense burner ignited the lingering smoke. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Yue Ze leaned on the Hu bed, and his leisurely expression was full of comfort. In contrast, the queen had a solemn face and kept walking around.
"Queen Mother, what are you anxious about?" Koshizawa said, grabbing the fruit on the table and biting down on a large piece.
The queen looked at her son with a look of hatred, "Your father is sick now, and you don't hurry up to think about it." ā
"What are you afraid of," Yue Zeman said indifferently, "Our family has military power, and the throne is still at hand, besides, isn't there any movement on the seventh brother's side!" ā
"That's what I'm worried about!" The queen frowned, "Yang Guifei has always been domineering on weekdays, but now the emperor's dragon body is not safe, but there is no movement on their side, do you say strange?" ā
"Speaking of which," Koshizawa also sensed that something was wrong, "it seems to be a little too quiet......
"Yes!" The queen continued, "The more this happens, the more you must not take it lightly, lest they suddenly come to you!" ā
After a moment of silence, the queen spoke again: "We can't wait passively all the time, the emperor has been haunted by that incident eight years ago, and now he has no way of knowing what he thinks in his heart." ā
"Isn't that all in the past!" Yue Ze was a little dissatisfied with the queen's revival of the old matter.
The queen snorted coldly, patted her son's shoulder, leaned over and said, "Maybe it's over, we haven't cleared our suspicions!" ā
Yue Ze was dumbfounded, lowered his head and thought for a moment, and suddenly patted his head, "I heard that the emperor seems to like that new female official recently, and if you send her to set up the words of your father, maybe you can leak something!" ā
"No," the queen shook her head, "what the concubine said that day has been carefully thought about in this palace, and there is some truth in it. That girl is indeed not like the average person from the market, I can't tell her any background behind her, if I don't investigate it clearly, I rashly tell her so much, maybe it will catch fire, so let's observe it for a while. ā
"No," Koshizawa questioned, "hasn't someone already been sent to their house, and besides, what can she do as a little woman?" ā
The queen smiled coldly, "The heart of defense is indispensable, and the family background is too innocent, it is a bit ......deliberate" Then the queen said to Yue Ze: "In this way, when you return to the palace in a while, repair a book and pass it to your grandfather, no matter what, now we must start preparing to do it!" ā
"Okay, Queen Mother, I'll do it." Yue Ze said and got up and left in a hurry......
Since Wei Xiyan went to the Taiji Hall for the first time, gradually, the number of times the emperor summoned her became more and more frequent. Sure enough, as the queen said, the palace already knew about it within a few days.
Those bright and dark, even if she walked on the palace road, she would inevitably be pointed at behind her back. It's hard not to listen to all kinds of gossip, but she is finally mentally prepared, and she is now in the limelight, and the first time she serves the emperor is also the queen's meaning, and no one comes to trouble.
"Your Majesty." Wei Xiyan sat next to the dragon collapse with a bird's nest.
The man on the couch is reading the piece in his hand. In the past few days, his body has improved significantly after being recuperated by the imperial doctor.
"Just put things down." The emperor did not raise his eyelids.
She turned around and put down the bird's nest, and the emperor also stopped reading the folds, as if he was in a good mood, "Come here, let's talk to me." ā
After sitting down, Wei Xiyan inadvertently looked at the emperor thoughtfully. "How long have you been in this palace?"
"It's been nearly two months since I returned to the emperor." She lowered her eyes.
"It's really fast," the emperor sighed, "Gu Yu has already passed." ā
"Yes, it will be the beginning of summer in a few days."
"Oh?" He raised his voice, lamented the passage of time, then changed the subject, then pointed to a stack of music folds beside him, and asked her, "Do you know what they have played?" ā
"The concubine doesn't dare to discuss the government." Wei Xiyan secretly speculated about the intention of his words as he spoke.
The emperor ignored her, and said to himself, "They all came to persuade me to establish the foundation of the country as soon as possible, and it seems that they all think that I am about to die!" ā
Hearing this, Wei Xiyan was shocked, and hurriedly knelt down and said: "The emperor is in the prime of life, and he will live with Tianqi!" ā
The man on the couch sighed and said, "Get up." ā
Standing up, the emperor moved his body to the middle, patted the bed, "Come and sit." ā
Yi Yan sat down again, and heard the emperor say: "But then again, do you think...... Who of my sons is the most capable of becoming a prince? ā
She didn't dare to answer, and the emperor chuckled, "Don't be afraid, speak your mind boldly, just like you did on the first day you saw me." ā
Seeing that she still didn't answer, the emperor said again: "Otherwise, let's ask you in another way, who do you think among my sons can be exemplary?" ā
Wei Xiyan still didn't answer, the emperor waited impatiently, and his voice was annoyed, "I'm asking you!" ā
Wei Xiyan hurriedly knelt on the ground again and kowtowed.
The emperor's tone softened a little: "Even if you say it, I will know what happened today, no matter what you say, I will forgive you for your innocence." ā
"It's not that the concubine doesn't say it," she was a little aggrieved, and her tone was sad, "The concubine is the daughter of a commoner, and she knows very little about the affairs of the court, and now she has lived in the palace for a long time, so I really don't know, where to start!" ā
"yes, you really don't know anything." After a long time, the emperor sighed, "It's my fault that blames you." I'm tired today, so go back early. With that, he lay down with his back to Wei Xiyan.
After Wei Xiyan slowly walked out of the Taiji Hall, he found that the palms of his hands were full of sweat......
staggered back to the palace all the way, and not long after sitting down, the palace people came to inform that the attendant Zhao Gonggong came to ask for a meeting. Wei Xiyan was a little apprehensive, and as soon as he walked to the corridor, he found that Zhao Gonggong was holding a scroll of juanshu and leading a group of people to stand in front of him.
"The maiden Zhang takes the order!" Zhao Gonggong said and opened the juan book.
Wei Xiyan hurriedly knelt down and listened to Gonggong Zhao read word by word.
"The royal maid Zhang's family, Shu is cautious, Ke Xian is inside, has served the palace for a long time, has a sensitive nature, and does not exceed the courtesy. Immediately canonized the five talents, and from today into the Taiji Hall to serve, admire this! ā
"What? Talented? Yang Guifei said in disbelief.
"Yes, the edict drafted by the emperor himself, and after the drafting, he directly let Zhao Gonggong announce the decree." The maid under the seat said respectfully.
"I haven't been favored and promoted to four grades in a row, which is something I haven't heard of." Mrs. Yang, who was sitting next to her, had a flower-like face full of surprise.
The concubine frowned even more, and said sharply: "What is the origin of this girl?" ā
"The background has not been investigated, but according to the slave's observation, the queen seems to treat her unusually."
"It's from the Queen's side?" Mrs. Yang's lips opened slightly, thought for a while, and then said: "I have also heard that it was arranged by the queen that she went to serve in front of the palace before. ā
Yang Guifei nodded, "This palace has also heard about this," she said to the woman in the seat, "Pay more attention to her every move in the future, and report to the palace immediately if there is anything abnormal...... When I saw her for the first time, my heart began to panic, and I didn't take her seriously...... Anyway. Yang Guifei's face was faintly murderous, "Now, this person can't be retained....."
