Chapter 104: Intentions
This Fang Qingli was still walking on the mountain road, and in the palace compound in Kyoto, Ling Chu was leisurely reading the recitals in the imperial study.
Outside, the sun was shining, the sun was scorching, and just standing for a while would make you feel dizzy and sweaty.
In the four corners of the imperial study, there were many huge ice cubes, constantly bubbling with cold air, and even Ling Chu would rather put a cloak than put some less ice.
Just because, the royal food and clothing, everything shows the identity, and I would rather waste more, and don't save being compared with those who are inferior.
The courtyard outside the door was quiet, except for the guards and waiters waiting outside, it was rare to hear even a trace of cicadas.
In fact, Su An ordered the little eunuchs to take long rods and apply glue to them, and stained those cicadas one by one. After all, it is the emperor's imperial study, but you can't be annoyed by these cheap things, and then anger them.
Su An knew the emperor's quirks, and deliberately wore a few more clothes, and now standing by Ling Chu's side and serving did not feel cold, but was very leisurely.
A little eunuch walked in cautiously with a half-cat, without making a sound, and said a few words in Su An's ear, Su An immediately understood, waved his hand and let him go down.
Taking a step forward, Su An whispered: "Your Majesty, Concubine Niangniang is here, and she has brought sour plum soup to relieve fever for the emperor, will the emperor see it?" ”
After a slight pause, Ling Chu continued to write what he hadn't finished writing just now, and after a while, he said lightly: "Let her in." ”
"Yes." Su An didn't dare to slack off, and soon went outside to bring Concubine Shu in.
"The concubines see the emperor." Concubine Shu faced Concubine Ling Chu. Ying Ying bowed.
Today, she wore a light blue palace skirt, her graceful figure was visible, and she was wearing a full pool of distractions. Graceful and luxurious, although he is in his thirties, he is surprisingly well maintained, and he is only in his early twenties.
Ling Chu stopped the wolf in his hand and squinted at the half-kneeling concubine.
The body is boneless, the face is peaceful, gentle, shy and timid, and it seems that there is nothing special at first glance. But if you look at it again, it feels very flavorful, and then you take a third look. I can't move it anymore......
"Love the concubine, let's get even." Ling Chu waved his hand, and then Concubine Shu stood up with a smile, a pair of bright eyes swept Ling Chu's eyes, and saw that his gaze was glued to herself. I secretly rejoiced in my heart.
Pick up the sour plum soup presented by the maidservant behind him. Concubine Shu stepped forward cautiously, and Ying Ying smiled: "The emperor has every opportunity, and the concubine is very distressed!" Now on this hot day, the concubines are still worried that the emperor is dry, so they specially sent some sour plum soup to the emperor. ”
As he spoke, seeing that Ling Chu was not displeased, he simply walked to his side, "Your Majesty." This sour plum soup is made with well water, not ice water. Don't worry about being too cold, you can cool off and quench your thirst......"
A faint scent of roses wafted in, Ling Chu looked at the approaching concubine, and said with a smile: "Concubine Ai really has a heart......
A faint flush crossed her face, Concubine Shu's bright eyes flashed, throwing away bursts of eye waves, and said softly: "Is it good to feed the concubine to the emperor?" He had already picked up the jade spoon and handed it to his mouth.
Ling Chu's face was still smiling, so he drank it, "Then there is Concubine Lao......"
The people around all lowered their heads, and one by one they bowed down and retreated to serve outside, while Concubine Shu waited for Ling Chu to finish a bowl of sour plum soup, and her body was already sitting on Ling Chu's lap.
Stroking Concubine Shu's still pink and delicate face, the body in her arms was as soft as water, Ling Chu hooked her lips and smiled: "Concubine Ai's makeup looks so beautiful today......" As he spoke, his hand was already irregularly probing under Concubine Shu's skirt.
Concubine Shu half-pushed, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, this is the imperial study!" The emperor wants it, and the concubines are waiting for you in Yonghe Palace. The soft voice is delicate and timid, and with her delicate and soft face, she looks like a grinding goblin.
Ling Chu rubbed his palm against this face, thinking that the face of his third son, Ling Qianmo, was seven points with Concubine Shu, and he couldn't find anything wrong with him, but his temperament followed him, deep and incomprehensible.
For a while, the anger that had just been provoked by Concubine Shu disappeared with the cold of the ice cubes in the house.
Ling Chu smiled and straightened the placket of the clothes that Concubine Shu had ripped open on her chest, and said dotingly: "They are all the mothers of three children, and they are still so tender." ”
The three children he said were the third prince Ling Qianmo, the eleventh prince who died young, and Princess Pingle, who had been married the year before last.
Hearing Ling Chu mention her child who died young, Concubine Shu's eyes immediately filled with tears, and Chu Chu called pitifully: "Your Majesty, ......"
That soft voice, if it was heard on weekdays, Ling Chu might have felt pity, but he also knew that Concubine Shu had nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, and at this moment, she had no more beautiful thoughts.
It's just for the brand of the beautiful woman that he has been renovating every day recently, and he deliberately came to offer his courtesy.
In this woman's heart, there have always been only two things that are most important, one is her son Ling Qianmo, and the other is the queen's position.
Ling Chu suddenly felt a little sad, although he was a noble ninety-five, no one around him treated him sincerely, and the only person who was sincere to him, his original wife, Empress Erchun, also left five years ago......
With a look of compassion in his eyes, Ling Chu pushed Concubine Shu's body away, picked up a cup of tea on the dragon case and took a sip.
Concubine Shu really saw the sorrow in the emperor's eyes clearly, and of course she knew who he was thinking of in her heart.
That woman has been dead for five years, and she still makes the emperor never forget, but also for her to never be the queen again!
It's just a woman who can't give birth to a son, what does the emperor value about her?
However, there are all kinds of bitterness and resentment in her heart, and she will never have the slightest disrespect for the former queen in front of her.
Everyone in the palace knows that the emperor and the former queen have a deep relationship, so they love her only daughter Si Er, and they don't allow anything to do, envying the princes and princesses.
Thinking that his only daughter, Princess Pingle, married a former champion Yuanlang, and now she is just a fourth-grade official, she can't help but feel even more resentful.
Thinking of Ling Sier, he now lives in the Chennan Palace. Handed over to the princess to be trained, and the princess is now far away in Chuzhou, where can she still manage it?
As soon as you enter the palace gate, it is as deep as the sea. Even if she has been in the palace for more than 20 years, it was just a time when the emperor graced her to go home to save her relatives, and then she saw her parents, and the rest of the days were in this cold palace, fighting for the emperor's favor for her son, and changing the way she fought with Concubine De, she was also miserable!
His own daughter, Princess Pingle. Because of the average birth, the emperor didn't like it, so he was forced to learn all kinds of rules. Poetry, songs, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are all excellent, and in the end they are still assigned at will!
Where can I compare to Ling Sier, the daughter born to a cheap hoof? was born with a great favor, and the emperor and queen mother were in charge of the queen mother, and now he can go out of the palace to enjoy. Such differential treatment. How could she stand it!
Thinking of what she heard from Xue Yu recently, Concubine Shu felt that she was instantly furious.
"Your Majesty!" He screamed glutinously, but it was still a little harsh in Ling Chu's ears.
With a smile on his lips, he smiled and asked, "What's wrong?" Something else? ”
Seeing that he still had a soft smile, Concubine Shu was even more confident and snuggled up to him bonelessly, "Your Majesty, the concubine heard something. I don't know if I should talk about it......" His eyes flew, as if he was watching to see if anyone was listening.
"Oh? Let's talk about it. ”
"Your Majesty. A few days ago, the Queen Mother asked Si Er to go to the palace to study medicine with the princess of the world, and now the princess has gone to Chuzhou, no one manages it, but the concubine heard that the child of Si Er runs out every day in a different way, leaving early and returning late......"
Pursed her mouth disdainfully, Concubine Shu saw that Ling Chu's eyebrows were almost invisible and frowned, and then said: "Your Majesty, this child is also a royal princess!" Where is it the same as the ordinary people of the people? Every word and deed is the face of the royal family, and now that she is so wild, who else will dare to ask her in the future! ”
Ling Chu didn't speak, but his eyes flashed.
Concubine Shu is a person who can observe words and feelings, and at a glance, she understood that the emperor listened to it, so she decided to make persistent efforts, "Your Majesty, if you want the concubine to say, the princess is a person who doesn't know the number of etiquette!" Princess Chennan is very clear, the princess will go out in disguise as a man in three days, do you say that this is what a good girl does? ”
"Isn't it that her mother's family has a lot of money, and she gave birth to a fairy, and the queen mother was confused by the appearance of the princess, and she sent Si Er to training. As everyone knows, it is to send sheep into the mouth of the tiger! Who doesn't know that Si Er is the pearl of the emperor's palm! has been arrogant and accustomed to being willful and messing around, but now that the master has led him into the door, isn't it getting worse now? ”
Concubine Shu was bent on filing Ling Sier, it was not good for her to be so comfortable, and she thought that Ling Qianmo had told her that she should try her best to let the emperor see the bad things about Qing Li, so she didn't stop the car for a while, and said a few more words.
Ling Chu was already cold-faced by those words, but he still smiled and said: "What does Concubine Ai mean by this, does it mean that the queen mother was blinded by lard, and I am a godson who has no way to raise Si Er into a monkey?" ”
The smiling voice was colder than the ice in the room, and Concubine Shu shuddered, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the concubine doesn't mean this!" The concubine has always been straightforward and fast-talking, her mouth is broken, the emperor forgives her sins! ”
"Straightforward?" Ling Chu bit these four words with a smile, leaned closer and pinched Concubine Shu's chin, "So, is Concubine Ai really thinking so in her heart?" ”
Concubine Shu's body trembled, and the feeling of being pinched at her chin made her a little suffocated, and she really wanted to bite off her tongue!
It's really messy, why do you make mistakes so often today?
"Your Majesty, the concubines are ......" Concubine Shu launched a bitter offensive, and tears fell quickly, poignant and pitiful.
Ling Chu let go of his hand and personally helped her up, "Aifei, I also know that Aifei is unintentional, go back and copy the precepts a hundred times." ”
Compared with the punishment of crimes, this punishment has been much looser, and Concubine Shu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Emperor Xie." ”
Ling Chu waved his hand impatiently, and Concubine Shu also knew that she couldn't stay any longer.
I originally wanted to knock on the side and let the emperor go to the beautiful palace less, but now it backfires, and I don't know where it has gone!
She had to grit her teeth and leave with hatred.
Hmph, Zuo is just the emperor's freshness, and when this heat is over, it doesn't matter if you are a beauty or a talent, don't you have to greet her?
Although the final result of these words today was not good, she believed that the emperor must have listened to it!
Thinking that Ling Sier's good days were over, Qing Li also became a thorn in the emperor's heart, and Concubine Shu finally felt better, so she walked in the direction of her Yonghe Palace.
Ling Chu was thoughtful, picked up the lid of the teacup and knocked it with a crunchy sound, and his eyes were deep and dark.
Si Er's matter is indeed a little strange, the people he sent down are all staring at it, and the news that comes back is that Si Er is obediently staying in the palace, which is completely different from what Concubine Shu said just now......
He doesn't have to worry about his subordinates bullying the king, and they don't have the guts! But Concubine Shu's words should not be groundless.
Mo'er's side concubine Lu Xueyu is the niece of Lu Wanqiu, the princess of Chennan, if the news of the concubine is transferred from them, then the authenticity of this can be considered.
The people under him didn't lie to him, but Si Er went out every day, thinking that Qing Li was hiding from the sky and crossing the sea!
I knew that this girl had some ability, but it turned out that her strength should not be underestimated!
It's not easy to send her thousands of miles away, and her hand can still be stretched so long!
Ling Chu's eyes narrowed, and the corners of his mouth also raised a cold arc.
Si Er can't stay in the palace anymore, and that Qing Li ...... I can't let her be so chic and happy anymore...... (To be continued......)
