Chapter 5
Before he could leave, he could hear the shrill and high voice of the eunuch outside the hall. The queen glanced at Qingluan, rearranged her collar, and greeted her with a smiling face.
Qingluan stood in place, as if her soul had left her body at that moment, and the plain-clothed woman's eyes were empty, but her palms trembled slightly. Su E, who was beside her, was just about to follow, and when she found Qingluan looking like this, she tugged at her sleeve and whispered, "What's wrong with the girl, the queen has left." ”
Qingluan raised his head when he heard the sound, and reluctantly squeezed out a smile, but there were fine beads of sweat on his forehead, like a layer of haze covering his cheeks.
"Why is the girl sweating profusely, Su E will help you call the imperial doctor."
"Don't get in the way, you still go to the front hall, if it's late, the mother should blame you."
After a few more words, Su E hurriedly ran out. Under the dim light of the cabinet, only Qingluan leaned helplessly against the wall, slowly pacing back from the apse. At that moment, she understood that the queen was deliberately asking her to avoid the emperor - she did not trust herself.
A sense of despair arises suddenly, and it is so sad to be guarded against by the master. She Qingluan may not be favored by the heavens, and she is destined to become the target of everyone. But she didn't do anything wrong.
That's it, life and death are up to heaven. So far, she is just glad that she is a gift from the emperor, and although her life is low, she cannot be trampled on by anyone. Maybe after a long time, it will be slowly accepted by Chaofeng Palace. What's more, don't you still have Su E with you - thinking of Su E, I feel a lot more relieved. She lit the oil lamp casually, and chose the best one from the cloth given by the ceremony, and the cold winter was approaching, and she wanted to make a pair of cotton socks to repay the piano master Zichen for several helps.
Chaofeng Palace is brightly lit at this time, the glazed palace lamp reflects the red tile red wall overflowing, and the gold and silver whitewash in the palace is more magnificent. The empress, dressed in gorgeous clothes, sat respectfully beside the emperor and told him about the situation of the queen mother's phoenix body in recent days. While carefully observing his face, he was afraid that he would be upset if he said something wrong.
There was no one present, and there was no need to make a show for the queen mother or the palace concubines, the king's complexion became much colder, he nodded carelessly, but intentionally or unintentionally kept a certain distance from the woman next to him.
On virtue and grace, Qin Suyue is impeccable. Although she may not be able to control the harem, she can keep the six palaces safe and sound, not causing trouble, and sharing a lot of worries for herself. But perhaps due to the estrangement between the pro-government issue and the Queen Mother, he has never been able to have feelings for this woman who the Queen Mother has tried so hard to push to the back seat.
And Qin Suyue, who knew this, also kept to herself, did not dare to vent her unhappiness easily, and did not expect anything from the Son of Heaven. And the apparent harmony of the emperor and queen is precisely a bargaining chip for the young emperor to command his ministers.
"I gave you a palace maid two days ago, why can't I see you today?" He interrupted the queen's words and looked out of the hall seemingly casually.
"Back to the emperor, Qingluan has not yet adapted to the arrangement in the palace, and the concubine let her rest first."
"Rest?" The man's sword eyebrows were slightly raised, and he looked at the queen keenly, but there was no tenderness in his eyes, "Didn't she add any trouble to the queen." ”
"Qingluan is a clever and lovely person, Su Yue also wants to thank the emperor for resigning such a beautiful woman to accompany her concubines, how can there be chaos."
The emperor only bowed his head slightly when he heard this, but there was still a domineering spirit brewing between his eyebrows, blocking the distance between the two. He didn't say more, drank all the sake in the cup, and carefully played with the jade wine glass, and the hall was terrifyingly quiet for a while. No one spoke for a long time, and the emperor himself felt bored, so he got up and said, "I will go first, you can rest." ”
At that moment, I don't know what I thought, the queen, who has always been polite and polite, suddenly stretched out her slender jade fingers and tightly grabbed the wide sleeves of the dragon robe. The emperor exerted a little force, but she didn't let go, stubbornly pulling that touch of bright yellow and refused to let go.
The man's eyes were startled, and he looked back at her, but he didn't know when the woman in front of him looked so sad.
"In the emperor's heart, Su Yue is really not worthy of a palace maid."
Because of this sentence, he also had some pity and forbearance. He saw everything Qin Suyue had done for him, but love was forced, perhaps from the moment the queen mother spoke, he was destined not to fall in love with the appendages of power. He wanted to say something, but he felt that it was better for everyone to maintain such a relationship.
"You are so good to Qingluan, I will treat you well." Gently let go of the queen's hand, and walked out of Chaofeng Palace without looking back.
The queen sat on the phoenix chair dejectedly, and tears were dripping from the corners of her eyes. If so, can you choose not to have this phoenix crown and the name that all beings want, just share some love for her and some care for her subordinates.
However, hatred only hates marrying the emperor's family by mistake, and buries a lifetime of love in vain.
