Chapter 8 Message to the Emperor
87_87438 "However, Kaori's girl is right, I should want to tell the emperor about this." ”
Mama Li didn't say anything, knowing that Queen Wen had already made up her mind, not to mention this matter, she should also want to tell the emperor. He won't see him anymore, and it's also his own son!
In the evening, the queen looked at the sky and called, "Little Dezi! ”
A rather ingenious-looking little eunuch immediately rushed in from outside the door: "The slave is here, what did Niangniang tell the slave to do?" ”
"Go and ask the emperor where he is having dinner today?"
"Yes!" Xiao Dezi turned around and ran quickly, and in less than a cup of tea, he hurriedly ran back, his face was sweaty, and he was panting: "Back to Niangniang, the emperor went to Concubine Dong's place for dinner." ”
"Concubine Dong again?" Empress Wen's face changed slightly just now, and she looked very dissatisfied. After a while, he stood up, tidied up his appearance and said, "Let's also go to the Interpretation Palace to join in the fun, and see how empathetic this Concubine Dong is!" ”
"Niangniang, this ......" Xiao Dezi was a little frightened, and hurriedly looked at Mama Li beside Queen Wen.
Mama Li sighed in her heart and hurriedly persuaded: "Niangniang, this is not appropriate, the emperor will be unhappy." ”
"Giggle...... Mama Jing said nonsense, how could this palace make the emperor unhappy? Xiangluo, go and prepare the ginseng soup and take it. ”
"Yes!" Xiang Ori was busy, and Queen Wen walked out without hurrying, and Mama Li, Xiao Dezi and others had to support and follow. When they reached the palace gate, Kaori also took the food box and rushed up, and the group set off to the Interpretation Palace.
Speaking of this Concubine Dong, she is indeed young and beautiful, and the age of eighteen is youthful and invincible. And people don't like to fight, empathetic, and the emperor likes it very much, and personally inscribes the palace where she lives 'Interpretation Palace'. And Concubine Dong is the niece of Concubine Dong in the palace, and this kind of aunt and nephew serving a husband together is not uncommon in wealthy families. And Concubine Dong was also very popular with the emperor back then. However, after Concubine Dong lost her two sons and could no longer have children, she became disheartened, devoted herself to the Buddha, and no longer served the king. The Dong family sent Concubine Dong to the palace, and the emperor also had the heart of the Dong family, so that this niece's position was higher than that of Concubine Dong, and she was very fond of her.
Empress Wen and her entourage came to the Jieyu Palace, and before they arrived at the palace gate, a little eunuch entered the door and said: "Your Majesty, the queen is coming to the Jieyu Palace." ”
"Oh? What did she come to do? The emperor frowned, and the hand holding the chopsticks paused slightly, looking very unhappy.
At this moment, the emperor Murong Yan is already forty years old, and in a while it will be his forty full birthday. And his face is still like that of his thirties, and his whole body is full of majesty, if Shouxin sees him at this moment, he will definitely find that Yi Xun is five points similar to him, and it can be seen at a glance that the two are father and son. Especially the indifferent temperament of the whole body, but Murong Yan is more calm, calm, and sharp than Yi Xun, and the temperament of the person who has been in the top position for a long time makes people dare not look at it directly.
Concubine Dong saw Murong Yan's displeasure in her eyes, but pretended not to see it, and immediately stood up: "The concubine is going to greet the queen's mother, the queen's mother is coming, it really makes the concubine's interpretation palace shine!" With that, the Sword Emperor nodded, and then went in a curling manner. Concubine Dong was dressed in a light pink palace dress, and only wore a bright light pink hibiscus flower on her head, and the whole person looked delicate and exquisite.
Before he arrived at the gate of the palace, he saw Queen Wen and her party approaching, and hurriedly saluted: "The concubine sees the queen's mother, and the mother is blessed with Jin'an." ”
"Sister, hurry up." Queen Wen stepped forward to help her gently, and she was really kind to her sisters. "Why should my sisters be polite." As he spoke, a pair of sharp eyes swept over Concubine Dong's body, and when she saw her simple dress, but her eye-catching appearance, she hated her in her heart. It's just that Queen Wen didn't show half of it, but smiled even more: "My sister is really a good color, and she is getting more and more beautiful." ”
"The queen doesn't laugh at the concubines, who doesn't know how beautiful the queen is." Concubine Dong lowered her head, made a shy appearance, and did not forget to praise Queen Wen. The Dong family is also an important minister in the court, although it is not as good as the Wen family, but it is also several generations of courtiers. However, the daughters of the family were sent to the palace, but they failed to save a child. They naturally guessed who could cover the sky with one hand in the palace, but they couldn't catch the handle of Queen Wen, so they had to give up.
The two complimented and praised each other and entered the room. Murong Yan sat at the table and looked at Empress Wen calmly: "Why did the Empress Yaxing come to the Interpretation Palace today?"
"The concubines see the emperor, and the concubines are not here to find the emperor!" Empress Wen said directly, which made Concubine Dong's face stiffen, and then quickly covered it up.
Murong Yan remained silent: "What's the matter?" ”
The direct inquiry made Empress Wen's face not look good, but she still had a smile on her face, and motioned to Kaori to send the soup cup to the table: "The concubine personally gave the emperor and her sister a soup meal, knowing that her sister is weak, don't treat yourself badly." If there is anything missing in the palace on weekdays, just tell the main palace. ”
"Thank you, Queen." Concubine Dong blessed her body and thanked her.
"If you have a heart, give up." Of course, Murong Yan knew that Empress Wen's purpose would not be so simple, but his face still eased and let the two of them sit down. There were already servants who added dishes and chopsticks to Queen Wen, so Murong Yan said, "Since you're here, let's eat together." ”
"Then thank you to the emperor, the palace suddenly disturbed, but it disturbed the emperor and his sister to eat." Empress Wen smiled apologetically, and her eyes swept to the emperor and Concubine Dong.
Concubine Dong hurriedly shook her head: "The queen's mother can come to the palace of the concubine to eat, which is the concubine's convincing." ”
"Alright, let's eat." Murong Yan was a little impatient, and one sentence made the two of them no longer have to be polite, and no one at the dinner table said more. Until the emperor ate well and put down the dishes and chopsticks, Queen Wen and Concubine Dong also dropped the chopsticks.
After the scary people cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks and served the tea, Empress Wen said again: "Your Majesty, the concubine has something to tell you." ”
"Hmm." Murong Yan responded lightly, and looked at Queen Wen with a pair of sharp eyes, which made Queen Wen, who was originally powerful in aura, tremble, even if she had been in this position for twenty-one years, and the man in front of her for twenty-one years, she would still be frightened by his fierce gaze and shocked by his dragon might.
Empress Wen lowered her head, her voice softened a little, and she took a deep breath before continuing: "Your Majesty, Thirteen has already reached adulthood, but there is no concubine around to take care of it, and the concubine came to tell this matter and want to take a concubine for Thirteen." ”
"Thirteen...... Xun'er ......" Murong Yan muttered in a low voice, but there was a sound of Xun'er behind him. Actually, it's not that he forgot Yi Xun's marriage, it's just that he has done enough to ignore him for so many years, and when he becomes an adult, he has to endure not to ask. But he still had some reliable courtiers who mentioned the marriage of the Thirteen Princes in the court. However, as soon as the matter was mentioned, Yi Xun was assassinated, and then he was seriously injured, and it was rumored that the thirteenth prince was not in good health again. No daughter of a good family was willing to marry him, for fear that they would become widows as soon as they passed. And those who were willing, Murong Yan couldn't look down on them, so he had to give up for the time being. Then he found out that the rumor that Yi Xun was not in good health was spread by Yi Xun's own people, so he understood Yi Xun's thoughts, although Murong Yan did not agree with him not accepting a concubine, but he also felt sorry for him, so let him go first. for fear of marrying a bad concubine and mistaking his son's happiness.
It's just that I didn't expect that Queen Wen would mention it at this time. He had to ask nonchalantly, "Which lady is it?" ”
"Back to the emperor, the concubines are being selected, and they will choose the most gentle and virtuous young lady to be the princess of the thirteenth." Empress Wen didn't say Wen Xiangting directly, because she didn't want Murong Yan to think that she was calculating something.
But Murong Yan has been on the throne for so long, how can he not understand the stakes? I couldn't help but sneer in my heart. But this is indeed a good opportunity, Yi Xun is twenty-one years old, and he really can't delay. "Okay, I'll leave this matter to you, don't forget, he's my son, you have to choose carefully."
"Yes, the concubine obeys." Empress Wen was a little displeased when she heard this, but she also knew that the emperor was ordering her. She secretly speculated, does the emperor really care about this son? But for more than ten years, the emperor has really ignored the game!
"Concubine Dong, if you have a suitable candidate, you can also mention it to Thirteen." Murong Yan changed his words and said to Concubine Dong again.
"Yes." Concubine Dong looked submissive, but she made up her mind to ignore this matter, because smart people can see that this Queen Wen is ready to be selected. Although she Concubine Dong is loved by the emperor, she can't confront Empress Wen head-on, if she doesn't have this self-knowledge, how can she live in the palace until now?
At this point, the first step of Empress Wen's matter was completed.
And at this moment, in the Enlu Palace.
Xiao Qianzi sent the food to Yi Xun's study, they had long been used to it, this Yi Xun stayed in the study every day, and even slept here. The food box he had taken from the imperial dining room was placed on the table, and he hurried away without helping to set the meal, and went back to his own room to eat.
Yi Xun didn't care, just about to set his own meal, he saw Shouxin appear, and helped him set the meal with a sullen look of displeasure.
Yi Xun smiled secretly in his heart, these many secret guards, so they dared to appear without being summoned by him. But seeing her cooking for herself, he was still warm and very happy.
"Master, let's eat." Shouxin's voice was muffled.
"Let's go together, I can't eat it all."
"No, the amount of food is not much, and occasionally if you eat too much, you will be suspicious." Shouxin looked at the dishes in front of him, and his heart was even more annoyed.
"Wait." Yi Xun spoke, and touched something in front of the table.
I was puzzled, so I just waited aside. Not long after, someone sneaked in through the window and delivered a food box. Shouxin, who saw the appearance, didn't speak. This man was also wearing a dark guard suit, but Shouxin had never seen it.
The secret guard didn't say much, and after putting the things down, he got Yi Xun's answer and left directly.
"Come on, the defense will also have a meal together." Yi Xun spoke, and the defensive position appeared, and Shouxin helped to set the meal again, this time the contents of the food box were much richer. couldn't help but let Shouxin put down his mind, it seems that as long as Yi Xun is willing, he doesn't have to eat these extremely bad meals
