Chapter 123: Stalemate
Princess Si'er's Fengqi Palace is now a scene of chickens flying and dogs jumping.
The imperial physician was blocked from the inner hall and was not allowed to enter, and a group of palace maids with food and tea were also kneeling helplessly.
Everyone looked nervous and anxious, but Ling Chu stood with a gloomy face and didn't say a word.
"Si Er, you are obedient, eat something! How can you hold up your body like this! The Queen Mother sighed as she spoke to the closed door, expecting the door to open.
But only intermittent sobbing sounds came from the house, and there were weak gnats.
"I don't eat! If you don't let me go out for a day, I won't eat for a day! Ling Sier's breath was weak, but the firmness in those words was unquestionable.
Seeing her so strong, the Queen Mother was helpless again, "Good boy, eat first, let's talk about the rest, the mourning family promises to give you an explanation?" ”
Originally, seeing that Ling Sier was stubborn, in fact, the Queen Mother wanted to agree, but Yu Guang caught a glimpse of the emperor's dark face, and the promise was suppressed, and he didn't say it to death after all.
The Queen Mother is from the Xu Guo Mansion, and in this kind of hairpin family, the most important thing is the rules.
And now in the palace compound, she herself is a model representative of the rules, and she always respects the article of three from the four virtues, and the husband dies from the son.
Although she is now the queen mother, she is the highest among women, but she is not so confused as to influence the emperor's decision.
In the eyes of outsiders, the emperor always shows how filial piety he has to be. But she knows that some of this is true and sincere, and some is fake.
Si Er is the only bloodline of Er Chun. is also her most cherished granddaughter, but no matter how much she loves her, she can't make an exception to do something that doesn't conform to the rules.
If you agree to Si Er at this time, it will be nothing more than slapping the emperor in the face in public! When it ended in the future, either her golden words were uncountable, or the contradictions between her and the emperor intensified and deviated from morality.
She is the Queen Mother. It represents the face of the royal family, and it must not be reversed......
The Queen Mother sighed faintly and said, "Si Er." The mourning family will give you an explanation, do you believe that the mourning family ......"
Her meaning is ambiguous, what kind of explanation is it, and she can justify herself in the future. As long as you coax your thoughts for a while, it's good to pass them for now.
Concubine De heard the meaning of the Queen Mother's words. stepped forward and supported the Queen Mother, and also persuaded loudly: "Si Er, haven't you been the emperor's grandmother who loves you the most since you were a child?" Whatever fun and delicious food is sent to you without ambiguity, and I have never broken my promise to you, so rest assured! ”
Concubine De is now in charge of the back seal, although she is not in the back position, but her identity is almost the same. As soon as she spoke, everyone else responded.
Concubine Shu sneered in her heart. I can't wait for Ling Sier to die by herself!
But she couldn't show it in the end, so she also followed the trend and said a few good words.
Ling Sier had been listening silently. Weakly slumped on the bed, his eyes were black and white, he couldn't see clearly, and he could barely think.
She didn't realize the loophole in the Queen Mother's words, but she just recognized a purpose.
"I'm going out......," she whispered, and the small voice reached the ears of the crowd through the carved floor cover and the hollow door.
The Queen Mother's face changed, and she really didn't expect Si Er to be so uninteresting.
She didn't know if Ling Sier really heard some clues, or if she had accidentally hit a tendon and confessed to death.
In any case, when it comes to this, if the other party still doesn't listen to persuasion, then she can't help it!
The Queen Mother originally thought that Si Er's temperament was naughty and active, neither like Empress Erchun's gentleness, elegance and wisdom, nor the emperor's thoughtfulness, quick and decisiveness, and I didn't know who she was with.
However, looking at her resolute ruthlessness now, isn't it like the emperor?
The Queen Mother moved her gaze to Ling Chu, and sure enough, she saw that his expression was complicated.
Ling Chu's hands behind him were clenched into fists, and incomparable pity for this daughter really rose in his heart.
As Ling Sier grew up, her appearance became more and more like that of Queen Erchun when she was young, and every time Ling Chu looked at her, she could recall the time when she had a child together.
After all, it was the flesh of his heart that had hurt since he was a child, and Ling Chu really couldn't bear it at this time.
Seeing the loosening of his eyes, Concubine Shu secretly screamed that it was not good in addition to the boundless jealousy in her heart.
Ling Sier's appearance has grown over the years, and he can vaguely see the shadow of Queen Erchun. Concubine Shu's favorite thing is this woman, and now she can't see the child born by that woman being happy!
Seeing that Ling Sier has been happy and active for so many years, Concubine Shu has long been unwell!
Now that he has finally been able to get back to one percent, how can he stumble at this juncture?
Coughing lightly, Concubine Shu hid her face and cried: "Si Er, the body is skinny, and the parents are affected." If you practice yourself like this, even our concubines are distressed, not to mention that the emperor has a late queen? Isn't that chilling? ――As the old saying goes, filial piety comes first, as a woman, why don't you take care of your elders! ”
Concubine Shu said heartbrokenly, and she couldn't wait to beat her chest and pause, "You are obedient and obedient, everything is easy to discuss!" - Poor queen died young, if she knew you like this underground, it would not be heartbroken! ”
These words were full of emotion, and even Ling Chu's complexion was gloomy.
Everyone knows in their hearts that in the emperor's heart, the most beloved person is the Empress Na Chun, even if she is dead, no one is allowed to make her unhappy in the underworld, not even her own daughter!
Although Concubine Shu was unwilling to admit Empress Erchun's unique status in Ling Chu's heart, she was in a hurry to obey the power, and as long as Ling Sier was not good at this time, she would be happy! Don't worry about so many details!
Ling Chu's color was slightly dull, just as Ling Sier's suddenly raised voice came from inside: "Shut up!" The queen mother has always loved me, if the queen mother is here, she will not bear to bear my tiredness and suffering, and she must have agreed to let me go, where is she still so ignorant! ”
This is complaining that Ling Chu doesn't care about her life or death......
Concubine Shu's favorite thing to listen to at this time is Ling Sier's willful words.
She understood that Ling Sier was simple-minded and used to being spoiled. It is inevitable that he is a little squeamish and willful, and he never thinks about it.
Saying such things when the emperor was slightly annoyed is tantamount to adding fuel to the fire.
And she built another bridge to set the fire on fire. Then the emperor really doesn't care about her!
Concubine Shu smiled secretly in her heart, and was about to speak, but she heard the waiter outside the door shouting: "The princess of Chennan has arrived!" ”
A call suffocated the words that Concubine Shu was going to say back into her stomach, choked so much that she almost lost her breath, and suddenly coughed, her cheeks crimson!
This announcement eased the atmosphere of Fang Cai. Everyone was stunned, and Concubine De was even more overjoyed.
She has managed the six palaces in recent years, and she is no different from the queen. It's just a name short.
Unlike Concubine Shu, Concubine De has a very open view of the emperor's feelings, and she is not paranoid to the point of hating the house and Wu, not to mention that her son is already the crown prince. She also knows not to be insatiable. So when he saw it, he took it, and asked for nothing more.
When she entered the palace, Queen Erchun cared for her and carried her all the way, and now she should repay her peach and protect her daughter.
Fang Fang noticed Concubine Shu's bad intentions, and Concubine De was worried that she couldn't find a reason to block Concubine Shu's mouth, just in time for Qing Li to come.
Seeing that Concubine Shu was now choking, her face was red and her ears were red. Her heart suddenly brightened.
Sure enough, it came early rather than coincidentally!
As happy as Concubine De, there is also the Queen Mother, who hasn't seen Qing Li for a long time!
Previously, the emperor sent her to Chuzhou. The queen mother also complained about this, and also secretly complained about the emperor, and later heard that Qingli rolled off the cliff, which made her tremble, but fortunately, there was no danger......
The most important thing is that now that Qingli is here, Si Er should be able to persuade him!
Since this child returned to the palace before, there has not been a day when he has not shouted to find his sister!
The Imperial Doctor was ordered not to get close, and Si Er's body became weaker and weaker, and something would really happen if he went down!
The Queen Mother looked towards the door anxiously, and saw that in a white light, a white-clothed beauty shadow came against the light, with a soft smile on her bright and delicate face, and her delicate phoenix eyes were completely pure and clear, dressed elegantly but not lacking in nobility, and her clothes fluttered lightly in the wind, which actually had the meaning of fluttering immortals.
Most of the palace concubines present had seen Qing Li in the Cirui Palace of the Empress Dowager last time, but at that time she always lowered her eyebrows and never saw her appearance clearly. In addition, they have always boasted of being self-contained, and they can't do things that they stare at others, let alone show a little disgrace in front of the Queen Mother, so they didn't take a closer look.
And now that I look at it like this, I actually think that this woman is beautiful and unique.
If you want to say that she is beautiful, it is indeed yes, and it is not an exaggeration to say that she is glamorous!
But she must be more beautiful than her, that is, the new beauty of the saint is thick, and she is a little more charming and delicate than Qing Li in appearance.
But on the contrary, there is always a different kind of elegance on Qing Li's body, like the magnificence and clarity after the lead is washed.
A kind of indifferent and casual wind and flower rhyme, a kind of "belly with poetry and calligraphy" tranquil and elegant, as if the March spring breeze with the fragrance of lime grass is blowing in the face, there is a feeling of intoxication.
This kind of charm should not be owned by the court.
She should belong to the vast sky, which makes people can't help but think of the youth when she was young, wearing red and green, smiling shyly, leaning on the door and sniffing the green plums.
They finally understood a little bit why Princess Si Er went out of the palace to learn medical skills with the princess for a month, and then she never studied in the palace again!
The canary that was released from the cage has tasted the joy of free flight, and who wants to return to this exquisite and gorgeous cage?
Everyone tacitly agreed.
Qing Li greeted everyone one by one, and when she touched the almost substantial resentment in Concubine Shu's eyes, she raised her eyes slightly, and saw that her well-maintained delicate and fair face was a little distorted, and she also covered her mouth with a handkerchief and coughed slightly, her face was crimson.
Concubine Shu gave her a fierce look, and she really hated it.
Almost, just a little!
Qing Li knew that it must be her own appearance that ruined her good thing!
What kind of good thing it is can be seen from the strict appearance of the Empress Dowager Defei, Ling Chu's dark face, and Concubine Shu's vicious glance at the door of the inner hall......
"Lady Niangniang, this is dry? Disease from the mouth, now just autumn, easy to dry lips, chest tightness and rib pain, don't worry about it, if you don't take good care, it will evolve into tuberculosis! -- This is a disease, and it must be cured! ”
Qing Li smiled lightly, the clouds were light and light, but what he said was solemn, which made everyone laugh.
Sickness comes from the mouth......
This is a disguised reminder to Concubine Shu to be cautious in her words and deeds! (To be continued......)
