Chapter 425: Spring Cold Night
The whole banquet ended in this seemingly happy and somewhat strange atmosphere. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
After the guests dispersed, according to the custom in Hanyang Palace, Zhao Yuan wanted to move several concubines in the palace to the warm pavilion of the side hall after the banquet and give spring gifts to the concubines.
Yun Yang saw that although Zhao Yuan's face had always had a vague smile, his steps were much heavier than before, and he seemed to be carrying a lot of sadness.
For some reason, Yun Yang's heart tightened, and he was secretly worried: "I have never seen the emperor so forbearing, even when I knew that the southern Xinjiang countries were in rebellion, I never saw him so worried, so it can be seen that today's matter is more serious than the rebellion in southern Xinjiang." ”
"What is it?" Yun Yang watched Zhao Yuan try his best to control his emotions, pretending to talk to the queen and Concubine Chen casually, and thought to himself: "The emperor insists that he doesn't want to be seen by others to change his mood, probably only for two purposes, one is to hope that the harem will be stable, and he doesn't want these concubines to fall into senseless fear, after all, these are all weak women." ”
"Except for Concubine Rong, everyone else has little contact with the court, even if they know something, they can only some useless idleness, shed some painless tears, in addition, nothing can help, rather than this, it is better to let them know nothing and continue to live a rich and comfortable life in the deep palace."
Another purpose is to prevent the people around him and the people above the court from knowing that Zhao Yuan is panicking. Because Zhao Yuan already felt that there were people in the court and even around him who could not be trusted, this situation was the most dangerous. ”
Compared with Yunyang's anxiety, Concubine Rong was obviously relieved. I thought that I had no life today, but I didn't expect that Liu Fuquan came in and passed on a few words, and the emperor was in a happy mood, and he didn't even let Lu Yong finish speaking, so he sent him down.
Not only that, the emperor seems to have forgotten even the previous things, and only cares about changing cups with the emperor's relatives and relatives, laughing and greetings, and just wants to spend a happy year, and he doesn't seem to care about anything else.
Concubine Rong's already bloodless face gradually regained its ruddyness, she took a long breath, and recited "Buddha bless" several times in her heart. She saw Zhao Yuan sitting on the bed of the Arhat with red sandalwood depicting golden landscapes, cross-legged, holding a few candied fruits in his hands, and talking to the queen and Concubine Min without a match.
Concubine Min was holding a dozen peeled pine nuts with a lotus root pink embroidered daffodil light gauze handkerchief, handed them to Zhao Yuan, and said something. Zhao Yuan lowered his eyes in response, took the pine nuts, and picked one and put it in his mouth.
When Concubine Min saw it, she smiled even more charmingly, causing the gold-dotted kingfisher cage on her head to shake under the palace lamp, a piece of streamer and broken jade, dazzling eyes. Zhao Yuan looked at it for a while, and naturally raised his hand to tighten the hairpin on Concubine Min's head.
Because Lu Yong saw that he had climbed the five-color sealing platform before, although Zhao Yuan had no intention of pursuing it, Concubine Rong also understood that she must not be too eye-catching today, so she could only stand in the corner of the warm pavilion at this time, looking at the scene in front of her coldly.
"Laugh, while there's still a chance. If I am relieved, I will definitely not let Hanyang Palace become such a miasma and mess. After I pet Hanyang Palace, the warm pavilion on the night of the Yuan Day will only exist in the emperor and me, and there will not be so many obstructive and vulgar people. Concubine Rong secretly swore in her heart, and her hands fiercely grabbed the tassel on the jade lingzhi pattern that fell from her waist.
Yun Yang was also looking at Zhao Yuan from a distance, but there was more worry in his eyes. I don't know what to remember, Yun Yang suddenly looked away, lowered his head and sighed softly.
"What caused the concubine to sigh for the New Year?" I don't know when, Concubine Chen walked to Yunyang's side.
"Uh, it's nothing, it's just that time flies, and another year has passed." Yunyang disguised his hand and pulled his sideburns.
Concubine Chen glanced at Yunyang deeply, and said with concern: "The concubine doesn't have to mourn herself, 'There is less frost in the evening of the New Year, and the grass and trees in the world know when spring comes'." As long as the spring is beautiful, the east wind will blow all over every courtyard, so why bother with it? ”
Yun Yang smiled, she knew that Concubine Chen must have thought that she was uncomfortable when she saw Zhao Yuan and Concubine Min behaving intimately, so she came over to comfort her.
Although Concubine Chen didn't really understand what she was thinking at the moment, being able to say this sentence had already surprised Yunyang and moved her very much.
"This palace is not feeling that the spring is not strong, but I feel that it is light and cold, warm and cool, and the spring breeze has not come tonight." Yunyang shook his head a little helplessly when he said this.
"Maybe it's not the time." Concubine Chen took a step closer, and her voice was lowered: "The emperor's sudden change of attitude tonight is really incomprehensible. However, with the emperor's clear character of love and hate, even if this matter is suppressed, it will be temporary. ”
"The emperor will not tolerate someone appearing on the five-color sealing platform, especially if he goes in private. In order to succeed tonight, the concubine must have spent a lot of mental effort in front of her. Your plan is meticulous and ingenious, but the result is unsatisfactory, it is not that there is a problem in any link, it may just be that the Lu clan is not exhausted. ”
Yunyang knew that Concubine Chen was indeed right, and Concubine Rong had already been defeated tonight, but the result was miraculously safe and sound, which was incomprehensible. Zhao Yuan's character is not to rub sand in his eyes, but why can he endure such a big grain of sand quietly, I am afraid that the things behind this are even more sensational.
He took great pains to let King Nan and Hongguo Gong enter the Linhua Palace, and specially found a craftsman to create a golden head and new dancing shoes for Concubine Rong, in order to let Concubine Rong see the flaws and make her feel that she had to win Yunyang in everything.
In this way, Concubine Rong will definitely be more conceited, feeling that she has no opponent in Hanyang Palace, so she will let go of her heart and unscrupulously ascend the five-color earth sealing platform in the Yuan Ri.
Yunyang has always said that his plan is not to frame Concubine Rong, but to let her show her sincerity. If she has no ambition, then she will not go to the five-color sealing platform, if she has bad intentions, then she will definitely be caught by the upright Lu Yong...... Who would have thought that the ending would be Concubine Rong safe and sound.
Yun Yang turned his head and glanced at Concubine Chen with a complicated expression: "Maybe there is such a thing as luck in the world, but today it is not on the side of the palace." ”
When Concubine Chen heard this, she smiled: "Then next time, it will definitely stand in the right position." ”
Yunyang frowned noncommittally: "If it can be predicted, it will not be luck." ”
