Chapter 4 Pretend to be pitiful and choose the right person
Zhou Ying glanced at Xu Guifei quickly, and found that she was also stunned, obviously unaware of it before.
Although the emperor Chrysostom said that the decree was issued and there was no change, there was no living official around him, and the place of speech was still in the inner room of the boudoir, and even the emperor was still sitting on the bed, holding his concubine in his arms, and the daughter standing under the hall must have some room to turn around.
Zhou Ying pondered for a while, and a bag of tears appeared in her eyes, "Mother Xu doesn't want me?" ”
Xu Guifei pushed the emperor in disgust and hugged Zhou Ying in her arms, "Xiao Qi is not afraid, your father will scare you." Xiao Qi is so well-behaved and sensible, it's too late for Concubine Xu to hurt you, how can she be willing to send you back? ”
Zhou Ying burst into tears, tears still hanging on her eyelashes, pulling Xu Guifei's sleeves, and there was a childish seriousness in her tone, "I will always be so well-behaved, and Mother Xu will never drive me away, okay?" ”
Xu Guifei's heart moved, and she responded, "Okay, the mother concubine promised you." ”
The emperor was originally bumped into by his daughter and was close to his concubine, and felt that he had lost face, so he ordered Zhou Ying to move to the palace. He also wants to make up for one or two to show the majesty of being a father and a king, but unfortunately this big and small don't appreciate it, as if he has become a villain who separates people's mothers and daughters.
The emperor was embarrassed, but he couldn't help but be surprised when he heard that Xu Guifei had changed her name.
Zhou Ying originally thought that Xu Guifei had made a slip of the tongue for a while, but when she saw the eyes exchanged between Xu Guifei and the emperor, she suddenly became nervous.
Xu Guifei held Zhou Ying's small chin with one hand, gently wiped away her tears, and her tone was seductive, as if she was serious, and like teasing a child, "Xiao Qi wants to live in Mingxi Palace for a long time, and he should call me my mother concubine in the future." ”
Zhou Ying tilted her head, a little confused, "Then I have two concubines?" ”
Xu Guifei is not annoyed at all, if Zhou Ying does not mention Wang Meiren, Xu Guifei will be afraid that she is scheming. Xu Guifei said with a lot of trouble: "Xiao Qi is so well-behaved, there is one more mother concubine than others to hurt you, how is it, are you happy?" ”
Zhou Ying smiled shyly, revealing a small pear vortex on her left cheek, "Happy." ”
Although the emperor felt that Xu Guifei was sloppy, Zhou Ying had never been in his eyes, and now that his biological mother was gone, it was nothing to let Xu Guifei take him to raise, but ...... The emperor asked as if he was careless: "It's rare that you have this idea, and you fell in love with it early in the morning?" ”
Xu Guifei has a lot of experience in palace fighting, and when she heard the emperor's words, she was wrong.
As soon as she pulled it into the palace, she guessed which eye medicine it was. Xu Guifei didn't go around the corner, and directly sneered: "I'll just say that the sun came out in the west today, and the fresh beauty didn't look for it, but looked for me, the old and decrepit yellow flower of yesterday." It turns out that the emperor didn't come to see me, but came to Xingshi to ask about the guilt! ”
The emperor didn't want to fall to the bottom of his sentence, so he hurriedly laughed and said: "I don't mean that, but I ask ...... in vain."
The emperor of this side was beating his shoulders again, and he said more than a dozen baskets of good things before he coaxed Xu Guifei to turn around. When Xu Guifei asked who was slandering behind her back, the emperor only talked to the mud, "Where can it be called slander, but it was just a mention of Concubine He, she also envied you and Xiao Qi Although they are not biological, they maintain Xiao Qi a lot, and they really have a deep mother-daughter relationship." ”
Xu Guifei knew that Concubine He had always been kind in the emperor's heart, even if she said it at this time, the emperor would not believe it, and maybe he would feel that she was too small to tolerate people, so she simply swallowed it and didn't mention it, and only knocked on the side of the seventh princess.
"You don't know me, I'm the most lazy, how can I have the leisure to coax children? It's just that I can't see it. Xu Guifei sighed, "The master is just gone, and the subordinates have no backbone, and there is a moment of panic." But no matter how flustered and distracted, he shouldn't have pushed the little master down and injured himself. If it is a rough palace maid, it is okay not to understand the rules of close service, but this one is still a personal palace maid who serves Xiao Qi! The rules of the personal palace maids are so negligent, it's really ......"
"It was also my negligence that allowed such people to serve the princess closely." Xu Guifei's face was full of guilt.
Although the emperor didn't take Zhou Ying seriously, but the dignified princess was neglected to this point, stepping on his face in the end, he was about to have a seizure, when he saw that Xu Guifei took the first step to ask for guilt, so he had to say: "It's not your fault, you have always been in charge of palace affairs, Xiao Qiyuan shouldn't be in charge of you, on having a biological mother Wang Meiren who loves her, and on sparseness should also be governed by the lord and concubine......"
Halfway through this, the emperor was dumbfounded.
Wang Meiren is gone, even if there is a mistake, there is nowhere to theorize; is left with Concubine He, and she is the only one who is accused of unfavorable discipline.
Xu Guifei saw the emperor's embarrassment in her eyes and couldn't help pouting in her heart.
In fact, the emperor's mind is not difficult to guess, on the one hand, he is a favorite concubine who has been driving for many years and speaks gently, and on the other hand, he is a daughter who has not seen him all year round and can't even remember what she looks like.
Of course, Xu Guifei didn't expect this trivial matter to kick Concubine He out. But didn't Concubine He boast of being compassionate and kind, and she was reluctant to trample even an ant to death? Now right under her nose, this kind of slave bullying has happened, and this kind of thing is obviously not the first time, Xu Guifei wants to see how Concubine He shows her compassion and kindness in front of the emperor.
Since this thorn has been planted in the emperor's heart, Xu Guifei took over with understanding, "I and my sister are also annoyed by the palace maid who is a big bully, but because of Sister Wang's first seven, it is not good to make a killing, so I hit dozens of boards first, and the rest will be made up in the future." ”
The emperor finally had a place to vent his anger, "What else do you care, these minions should have been beaten to death with a stick to set an example!"
Xu Guifei hurriedly stepped forward to persuade the emperor to calm his anger, but he did not block this order. Of course, she would not say anything to dissuade her, and the concubine said on the front foot that she would open the net to show mercy, and the emperor said on the back foot that she would be killed...... This is the emperor himself slapping the concubine in the face.
Xu Guifei watched the great eunuch Qiao Rong go to Xiuyu Palace, and her eyes mocked: Concubine He, this glass of wine in return for you, does it taste good?
Zhou Ying watched the palace fight at first, and it was interesting to watch. Unexpectedly, in a blink of an eye, a life was so lightly decided. Originally, the inner room was as warm as spring, but Zhou Ying felt like falling into an ice cave, and her whole body was cold.
Xu Guifei's eyes were sharp, and when she saw Zhou Ying shivering with cold, she hurriedly pulled her over, and when she tried her little hands, she was really cold, and quickly stuffed her back into the bed, "How did you become a saw-mouth gourd today, and I don't know how to squeak when it's cold." ”
Zhou Ying felt Xu Guifei's meticulous care, opened her mouth, and wanted to intercede for the palace maid, but in the end she swallowed it, shrunk into the quilt, and closed her eyes slightly, "Mother, I'm sleepy." ”
Xu Guifei gently tucked the quilt corner for Zhou Ying, and instructed the palace maid to be on duty all night before leaving with the emperor.
Zhou Ying quietly turned over. That palace maid has a nice name, called Cai Wei. Cai Wei's appearance is top-notch among the palace maids, and Wang Meiren was afraid that she would share her favor, so she took her to her daughter's side to serve. Cai Wei is not small-minded, so she naturally refuses to stay up with an unfavored princess, and she goes to the concubine every day, and she can't even see a figure in Zhenri. Of course, Cai Wei is not the only one who has this idea.
On that day, Zhou Ying was messed up with Xu Guifei's plan and cut off the back road, so she broke the kettle and injured herself by Caiwei's hand. Concubine He has long seen Zhou Ying as an eyesore, and now Cai Wei seriously injured Zhou Ying, causing her to fall into a coma, isn't it just as Concubine He wanted.
Cai Wei can use Zhou Ying's injury as a stepping stone to the concubine, and Zhou Ying also uses her hand to perform a bitter trick, which happens to be indebted to each other.
The development of the matter was indeed as Zhou Ying expected, the crime of hurting the imperial heir, and the concubine just let Cai Wei suffer a little flesh injury, so she used Wang Meiren's funeral as an excuse to put the matter on hold and discuss it again. After Qiqi, when the dust settles, who will remember an inconspicuous palace maid?
It's a pity that Xu Guifei and Concubine He made a master's move, and Cai Wei became this poor pond fish.
Now Zhou Ying is difficult to protect herself, if she doesn't plead with Xu Guifei and spoils Xu Guifei's affairs, then she can't guarantee that she is not the next Caiwei.
