Chapter 2 The Empress Loses Ground 4

"They deserve it." Su E's voice suddenly cooled down, and she, who had always been humble, was actually chilling at the moment, "You are no longer the Qingluan of the past, but the woman of the Beigong clan, the Son of Heaven." Now that you are Concubine Jing, how can you be so weak, do you really want the enemy to kill Niangniang's relatives, and Niangniang will wake up. ”

Yuyan suddenly lost her words, she thought of Yongtai, and thought of the people in this palace who were loyal to her. Yes, Yu Hao's ruthlessness today, Zhao Guiren's violent death hit her too hard, and such a feeling of helplessness has not appeared for a long time. She has never been afraid of anything, if she says that there is, it is the son of the minister at that time, and Yongtai at present. She has repeatedly lost the most important person in her life, and this time, she must not lose to cowardice again.

Didn't she secretly swear that in this life, she would make all those who disobeyed her and intended to hurt her not die well. The old enemies have not yet been eliminated, and new enemies will continue to appear, and they are destined to fight for a lifetime.

Yu Yan raised her chin slightly, raised a hand, Su E saw this and hurriedly helped her up, and said calmly: "The slave and maid rushed into Niangniang in a hurry, and I hope Niangniang will forgive me." ”

Yu Yan smiled faintly, a pair of phoenix eyes had already regained a cold and wise light, she sat down next to the soft couch again, and said slowly: "You and I don't need to apologize." Su E, if you hadn't always mentioned it from the side......"

"The slave maid has only been in the palace for a long time, and she is used to seeing people's warmth and coldness. The one who can really control the situation depends on the mother herself. ”

Wise and resourceful but not sharp, insightful but humble and reasonable, such a person is hard to find. Yu Yan glanced at her with a smile, took a sip of strong tea, and suddenly sighed: "Concubine Zhao didn't say it, but Ning Shuyuan in the palace today made me feel cold." ”

Su E caught a glimpse of the condensed light in her eyes, and also pondered: "Little Lord Ning is indeed abnormal today, I am afraid that with her understanding of Niangniang, she knows the ins and outs of this matter, but she can't agree, so she ......."

"She knows, but she should also know that Concubine Zhao offended me before, and the queen has always been different from me." His eyes fell on the plum blossom branches bent by the snow outside the window, and Yu Yan sighed very softly, "Besides, I'm worried that she will be like this for another reason." ”

Is it because of Chengying, because of that person, she doesn't even care about her sisterhood anymore...... Yu Yan's hand holding the white porcelain cup suddenly tightened, she really didn't want to think of that woman with a blue heart so vulgar.

When there was silence, it was Bai Yu who pushed the door in: "Niangniang, the little masters have come to greet Niangniang, but do you want to let them in?" ”

Hearing this, Yu Yan straightened up slightly, and there was a sneer in her eyes: "They are fast." ”

"Concubine Zhao is sick, so they naturally came to see Niangniang first," Su E stepped forward to put on her clothes for Yuyan and responded, "Whether you are sincere or not, this rule must be followed." ”

Yu Yan glanced up at the sky that was about to darken, and there was not much anxiety on his face, so he only said to Bai Yu and Yan: "Okay, let's ask them to wait in the outer hall for a while." ”

Since they know that they have to come to congratulate them according to the number of courtesies, they should also let them know that they are no longer random people to be deceived today. The strong tea in the Yuyan tea cup was already cold, she raised her head, and Su E willingly continued the hot soup. In the mist, she saw her own vague face in the bronze mirrorβ€”cold, wise, but no longer as pure as it had been. She knows that youth cannot be retained in the harem, and how can a heart that has been tempered into steel regain its youthful tenderness. When the years passed, all she needed was power, submission.

Slowly lowering her eyes, Yu Yan rubbed her temples that were a little sore, and finally said, "It's time for us to meet the concubine." The queen was banned, and they were missing the backbone. ”

When Yu Yan reappeared, he had already changed into a blue and white jade-colored dress with a dark shadow cloud pattern, and his head had been shining with a blue tail and a fluffy bun, and there was nothing else to embellish. This is extremely simple for her in the concubine position, when Concubine Chen was in full bloom, a colorful gemstone hair ornament with beads and flowers was priceless, and Yuyan was decorated with even a nobler concubine who was better. Even so, the domineering meaning that is as cold as a white lotus around her is something that people dare not underestimate. Yu Yan stretched out her hand to pull the fine bead flower hanging from her ears and temples, and said with a smile: "I've kept my sisters waiting." ”

Even if the concubines were unhappy, no one dared to make a mistake for a while, and they all saluted in a proper manner: "Concubine Jing Niangniang is blessed with Jin'an, and the concubines wish Niangniang the joy of promotion." ”

"Sisters, you're welcome." Yu Yan smiled indifferently, her eyes swept over everyone slightly, but when she saw that Ning Shuyuan was not among them, her heart suddenly cooled. However, she suppressed the unhappiness in her heart and said calmly: "You have also worked hard all day today, but you can actually come back tomorrow." ”

"The mother is in charge, and the concubines should come early in the morning to show their sincerity." As soon as Concubine Li sat down, she couldn't wait to show her goodwill, and seeing Yuyan's faint smile, she glanced at the woman next to her and said, "Qing Shunyi thinks the same way." ”

The woman's current position is quite embarrassing, she was originally subordinate to the Qin family, but she didn't want things to develop like this, now Mo said that the queen was banned, even her former ally Concubine Zhao had also become a big enemy, and she could be said to be embattled this time. However, even so, Qing Shunyi was born noble, and she was determined to bow her head to Yuyan, and the arrogant look on her face was that she knew that Yuyan was respected, and she did not restrain a little. Seeing Concubine Li ask, she only sneered and didn't speak.

Yu Yan saw that she deliberately changed into a long dress with kumquat sunset inlaid with glass flowers, the warm orange color of melting gold is not everyone can wear on her body, only the royal relatives can enjoy this honor, and she is also proud of it. Dressed up like this now, she must want to reflect that even if Yu Yan is a concubine, her identity is still inferior to her.

So without waiting for the woman to speak, Yu Yan smiled and said, "That's natural, Sister Qing came to congratulate her in a grand dress, she really has a heart." ”

Qing Shunyi smiled when she heard this, and raised her head and said: "It's good that Concubine Jing really thinks so, but don't blame the concubine for deliberately stealing your limelight." ”

"How?" Yu Yan's smile was just right, and as soon as she raised her chin slightly, Su E presented a delicate box made of white jade. Qing Shunyi didn't take it immediately when she saw this, but just looked at her vigilantly and said, "What is this?" ”

"This is a little bit of heart from this palace to my sister." Yu Yan saw that the woman's heart was weak, and her smile became more and more bright, "Why, isn't my sister worried that this palace will poison my sister in front of everyone." ”

Qing Shunyi was unwilling to be seen by her timidity, so she took the box stiffly, and said coldly: "The mother is kind-hearted, and the concubine does not suspect him." She opened the box and showed everyone a delicate jade bone incense fan. In order to demonstrate, Su E picked up a gentle fan, and immediately surrounded everyone with the meaning of attacking the fragrance of flowers. If you sniff closely, you can distinguish dozens of flowers and trees in spring. The jade bone is made of several layers of hollowing and overlapping, and the spices are hidden in it, which is pleasant and pleasant.

For a while, the admiration came and went, all admiring this ingenious craftsmanship. Yu Yan listened to the concubines' praise, but her eyes lingered on Qing Shunyi's increasingly painful face. She smiled silently, and said to herself: "Although it is a little early, but the spring and autumn period has always been short, and this palace feels that this incense fan is very consistent with my sister's temperament." ”

Everyone was either envious or amazed, but only Qing Shunyi was pale. She pushed Su E away, leaned down in an extremely distorted position, and screamed in pain. Before the concubines knew what had happened, they saw that a large red rash appeared on her originally white jade-like face, which was extremely terrifying. Qing Shunyi struggled to raise her head, and she was frightened and screamed all around. Where did the woman still have her usual elegance, but she said viciously: "What did you put away!" ”

Seeing this, Qiu Niang hurriedly went to help her, and after glancing at the incense fan in surprise, she couldn't suppress her surprise and blurted out: "There is calla orchid pollen in here!" ”

Qing Shunyi wanted to stop her from speaking but it was too late, Yuyan just paused when she heard this, and seemed to sigh: "It turns out that my sister is allergic to the pollen of calla orchid, which is really negligent in the palace." She caught a glimpse of the strong hatred in Qing Shunyi's eyes, but she didn't seem to know it, and ordered, "Su E, don't help the little master of Qing go back quickly, and let the imperial doctor take a good look." ”

Qing Shunyi was in pain and itching at the moment, and only squeezed out the word "Concubine Jing" from between her teeth, and then covered her face and fled out of the hall. Everyone was shocked, and when they saw her back in such a hurry, they couldn't help but talk about it. Seeing that it was almost over, Yu Yan coughed lightly, and the hall fell silent in an instant. She turned a pair of Hongrui jade bracelets in her hand and sighed softly: "The sisters have also seen it, Qing Shunyi can't touch a little calla orchid." Now that this flower is blooming, you should be careful when you interact with her, otherwise you will ruin such a face in vain, and the emperor will be distressed. ”

Hearing this, everyone hurriedly got up and said, "The concubine must follow the teachings of the mother. ”

A cold light flashed in Yu Yan's eyes, but he still smiled with a gentle smile on his face: "You are also tired today, go back and rest." ”

It was only after a group of people came out that she showed the tiredness on her face. This day can be described as thrilling, and even the iron body is a little unbearable. Xiao Fuzi looked at her face and stepped forward to help, and couldn't help but whisper: "For today's out, it's not in vain that the minions have been collecting all kinds of pollen for days." ”

"Hongu only knows that her weakness is pollen, but he doesn't know what kind of it is. I don't want to be here today, but the people around her said it. Yu Yan raised her eyes to look at the dark sky, stretched out her hand to help Xiao Fuzi and slowly walked into the house, "When Su E came back, she told her to go directly to rest, there is no need to come." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Fuzi hurriedly bowed and replied, "The slave understands. ”
