Chapter 248: Calculations Outside the Palace Gate
Rong Xi sat there without moving, quietly feeling the gaze from all sides.
The woman on a table in the east hesitated for a moment, walked over quickly, and bowed in front of the pavilion: "Princess Ning, don't listen to her nonsense, we all believe that the princess will not do this." ”
"You believe it?" Rong Qiu laughed sharply, raised the handkerchief in his hand, covered his mouth and said, "What use do you believe?" What you have to believe is the truth! ”
The woman's face turned red, she bit her lip, and turned her eyes to look at Rong Xi, Rong Xi looked at her, a delicate little face, although it was not stunning, but it was also gentle and generous, she must be a member of the mission of the country of Mingxiao, she waved her hand and said: "Girl, please go back to your seat first, this princess believes that she will be white." ”
The woman nodded, turned and returned to her seat.
Rong Qiu was blessed and said: "Sister, wouldn't it be more anxious to wait here, why don't you accompany your sister to take a look?" If...... If there is such a thing, it is better to invite the emperor to give him a marriage, and it also seems that my sister is tolerant and generous. ”
Rong Qiu thought that she would have to spend a lot of time to get Rong Xi to agree to go over together, she just wanted Rong Xi to see Leng Yixiu with other women with her own eyes, which made Rong Xi heartbroken!
"Okay." Rong Xi nodded and readily agreed.
Rong Qiu was stunned at this time, Rong Xi slowly stood up, and said: "This princess is going to see the excitement, as for whether there is a prince of my family in this excitement, I'm afraid I have to talk about it, after all, it's just a rumor." ”
"That's nature." Rong Qiu hurriedly said, she sneered in her heart, Rong Xi is already in a mess, so she is forced to calm down here and make excuses for herself, right?
Several ladies and ladies also quietly followed behind in the name of caring for Princess Ning, and Rong Xi didn't mind, and a group of people walked towards Xinji Palace.
At this time, Wei Guifei was supported by the seventh princess, and she was almost outside the palace gate, Wei Guifei's legs were slightly soft, but the ups and downs of many years in the deep palace gave her the ability to look calm on the surface.
She has no children under her knees, she has tried countless methods more than 20 years ago, but she has never been able to conceive her own child, in this harem, if there are no heirs, no matter how many holy graces, one day will be gone, this life will be like a rootless duckweed, never settled.
She tried again and again in hope, and again and again ushered in disappointment, and finally ...... Despair.
She looked at herself in the mirror with a flower-like face, but she seemed to see her sad future from those beautiful eyes, but she was helpless.
Suddenly, one day, the emperor brought in a child, and it was a baby boy.
The emperor said, "Wei'er, I like you, and I know that you want to have a child, even if it can't really be born from you, I want it so much, so I brought this child to you."
To this day, every time she dreams back late at night, she remembers the scene of that day and the words of the young emperor that day, and she can't help herself with excitement.
She has a dependent, a prince, she carefully takes care of him, watching him grow up day by day, grow up, make contributions, and become the world-famous god of war.
He is Leng Yixiu.
But today, she suddenly felt that she was on the road that had destroyed him, and with each step she took, the hope behind her was shattered to a point, shattered into powder, and dissipated in the wind.
To destroy him is to destroy herself, and no one understands it better than her.
However, she had to go, because the seventh princess had been smiling like a flower on the side, and her voice was gentle, "Wei Niangniang, what's wrong with you?" Are you feeling unwell? As...... Erchen went to invite his father to come? ”
She looked at the smile of the seventh princess, as if she saw a poisonous snake spitting letters, and she suddenly felt the urge to strangle her.
"No need. Hongu is fine. Wei Guifei raised her hand and pressed the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief, and also broke away from the support of the seventh princess.
How could the Seventh Princess not understand what was in her heart, so what? If Leng Yixiu is overthrown, Wei Guifei will also be angry, and when the time comes, she will add oil and vinegar, and the woman who has lost her sacred heart, what kind of storm can she turn over?
Finally, when she arrived at the door of Xinji Palace, the silence around her was terrifying, and Concubine Wei could even hear the sound of her own heartbeat.
She lifted her legs and slowly stepped across the palace gate, the golden flowers on her shoes shining in the sunlight, making her eyes flash for a moment.
The courtyard was still very quiet, but I vaguely heard a woman's voice, sometimes laughing lowly, sometimes whispering: "I'm so uncomfortable......"
Wei Guifei's heart was cold, and her fingers couldn't help but twist the veil.
The lips of the seventh princess were uncontrollably hooked, like a cold knife in the moonlight, hanging on the beam of the head, ready to slash down at any time.
She didn't urge, she just waited quietly outside, the longer she waited, the better this scene would be, otherwise she would rush in at this moment, only herself and Wei Guifei were present, so what was the point?
What she wants has always been to make Leng Yixiu ruined, and there will never be a day to turn over.
Finally, footsteps sounded behind her, of course Wei Guifei knew that things were not so simple, someone would definitely fan the flames and lead the ladies to come, her ruthless heart, even if she came, she would suppress her tough reputation!
However, a cold voice made her heart and the blood in her body instantly cold.
"What's going on?" The Emperor's voice.
"Erchen has seen his father." The seventh princess was overjoyed, but her face was panicked, and she didn't even have a standard salute.
Wei Guifei closed her eyes slightly, took a deep breath, turned around, and saluted: "The concubine has seen the emperor." ”
"What's going on? What are you all doing here? The emperor did not pay attention to the salute of the two men, there was a faint suppressed anger on his face, and his eyes swept over the two people's bodies, and finally landed on the palace with the gate closed.
"Father, son, ......" The seventh princess stopped talking, her face flushed, and her eyes were a little evasive.
When the emperor saw that the anger in his heart rose more and more, the coldness in his voice instantly amplified, "Say! ”
"Back to their father's words, they thought that their daughter-in-law's husband was having a good time with Princess Hao Lian inside, and they came here to catch the adulterer." A clear female voice came clearly from behind everyone, with a faint sarcasm and bone-piercing coldness in her tone, like cold snowflakes falling on people's necks in the harsh winter, and the slightest coolness instantly spread throughout the body.
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but be shocked and ashamed, and they couldn't wait to hang their heads and find a crack in the ground to get into, no one thought that Rong Xi would say it so directly and simply.
Rong Qiu beside her and the noble ladies who followed her to see the excitement all changed their faces, and they were ashamed.
The emperor turned his head and looked at Rong Xi carefully.
This woman didn't see him much, but she shocked him again and again, and he had to re-examine her.
She dresses differently today and usually, she has changed from the elegance and elegance of the past, and she is rich and elegant, the emperor's eyes flashed with a hint of appreciation, people who know how to judge the situation have always been smart and worthy of praise, and it will be even more rare if the other party is a woman.
Today's banquet is different from the past, not only the wives and daughters of high-ranking officials, but also the princesses and county lords of the other three countries.
"Get up." The emperor said to Rong Xi, who was saluting, and his tone was a little more gentle than just now.
"Where's Xiu'er?" The emperor said, turned his head to look at the crowd, the officials behind him were silent, did not dare to answer, his eyes fell on the four princes who were on the table with Leng Yixiu, the four princes were anxious, but their faces were calm: "Father, the third emperor brother is occasionally unwell......
He didn't mention anything about having a little palace maid come to Leng Yixiu, because now it seems that it was obviously a bureau, Princess Ning is here with a good look, and no one will believe him if he says anything about the little palace maid.
"Oh?" Leng Yiwei's face showed a little anxiety, "Brother Sanhuang is unwell? Where are the people now? Can you declare the imperial doctor? ”
The fourth prince hated it so much, but he couldn't attack, so he could only endure it and said: "No, it's not very strict to think about it, and you'll see it when you take a break." ”
Leng Yiwei made an expression of "I see", pursed his lips and said nothing, but that look was more powerful than what he said.
In the end, he looked at Rong Xi from the corner of his eye, her calm face and calm eyes made him feel an indescribable feeling in his heart, and sure enough...... She's an extraordinary woman.
He shook his hand hard under the wide sleeve and let out a long sigh in his heart.
The emperor's gaze sank a little more, and boundless clouds swelled, and he was silent, looking at the vermilion palace with the door closed, the colorful glazed tiles refracted dazzling light in the sun, so bright that his eyes narrowed, but the place that made his heart shine more and more dark.
The voices around were all gone, even the sunlight was hidden, and the voice of the woman who occasionally overflowed from the window became more and more harsh, like a steel needle, piercing into everyone's ears fiercely.
For the Seven Princesses, Rong Qiu and Leng Yiwei, it is the opposite, as if it is the most beautiful music in heaven and earth.
"Someone!" After a long time, in the viscous air, the emperor's voice finally came, cold, without a trace of affection, purely the voice of the superior.
Rong Xi's heart twitched inexplicably, the sadness of this moment, for Leng Yixiu, for the family affection that the emperor's family has never been weak.
"Father!" The seventh princess stepped forward, lifted her skirt and knelt in the dust, bowed deeply, and when she raised her head again, tears welled up in her eyelashes, "Father, this matter ...... It's really not appropriate for others to see, it's better to ...... Let Erchen in. ”
The emperor stared at her face, the anger in his heart was touched by the "sincere" family affection at the moment, and he nodded slightly.
