Chapter 126: Liuzhu
Hua Nong carefully wiped the crumbs from the corners of the prince's mouth, and was already stunned when he heard that he was going to finish the four plates of dim sum on the table, and he had to eat all the dishes made in the small kitchen, Liuzhu and Concubine Ning were stunned.
The prince's face stiffened slightly, and his full mouth suddenly did not move, looking at Hua Nong's gentle words, his eyes were slightly moist, and he didn't dare to cry out loud.
"Niangniang, let's let the prince eat less, the snacks are enough, and there is no need to let the kitchen cook." Liuzhu said with a slow sigh.
Hua Nong wiped his hands expressionlessly and threw the handkerchief aside, "I didn't know that this palace was originally ruled by the concubines, and even the small kitchen of the palace could be managed." ”
Liuzhu's face froze, and she lowered her head in embarrassment and did not speak.
"Why don't you go, what are you waiting for?" Hua Nong said to Hai Rong, who was still stunned there.
Hai Rong sighed and withdrew.
"If the concubine has nothing to do, go back and clean up, go to serve the queen tonight, and prepare early, this time don't be like last time, let others sleep with the emperor."
Hua Nong didn't care that the prince and Concubine Ning were present, so he nakedly revealed that Liuzhu had used a means to see the light last time.
Liuzhu's face turned red, a trace of humiliation flashed in her eyes, and she respectfully retired.
"Eat, are you hungry? Don't say that the queen mother treats you badly, you can eat an ordinary person's ration for a year in one meal, but you can't afford it. ”
Hua Nong pushed all the snacks on it in front of the prince, ignoring the emotions in Liuzhu's eyes.
Concubine Ning handed over her tea, "The tea just now is too hot, the prince doesn't dislike drinking the palace first, and then drink his own later." ”
A trace of gratitude flashed in the prince's eyes, and he picked it up and drank it without looking at Hua Nong, Hua Nong smiled at the corner of his mouth, and he didn't say anything.
"Why did the Queen Mother do this?" Concubine Ning couldn't help it anymore, she looked at the prince who was only caring about eating snacks on the side, and her eyebrows were full of unbearable.
Hua Nong raised his eyebrows, "What does the concubine mean?" ”
"The emperor is interested in you, you will suffer it, why are you still looking for pleasure, Liuzhu is not a good stubble since the former queen, if she gains power, the queen is not afraid of raising tigers, and the lessons of the past can be in the cold palace."
Hua Nong smiled shallowly at the corner of his mouth, "This palace is exactly what a queen should do, there is no hundred days of red, and this palace will not make a mistake because of his selfishness." ”
Concubine Ning frowned slightly, "It shouldn't be like this, he is sincere to you, you shouldn't hurt him like this." ”
"This palace hurt him? The concubine said that she laughed, the palace asked other women to serve him, but it was his business whether to accept it or not, and besides, the concubine was not sincere to him? Didn't he hurt you the same? ”
Concubine Ning's face suddenly stiffened, faded from blood, turned pale, and disbelief flashed in her eyes, "You ......"
Hua Nong smiled slightly, picked up the tea cup on the table and drank it, "Don't be afraid, the concubine, this palace will not say it, this palace has no grudges with you, why bother meddling." ”
Concubine Ning was still surprised, but she was still relieved, calmed down a little, and looked at the prince on the other side before relieving herself.
looked at the prince, he seemed to be a little unbearable, and his voice was a little small, "Then, queen, how innocent is the child?" ”
Hua Nong smiled suddenly and looked at Concubine Ning, "Concubine Ning is really kind-hearted, how can a childish say this, if you had told his mother earlier, this palace would not have become a queen." ”
Concubine Ning's face froze, and she didn't speak anymore when she looked at Hua Nong's expression that was gradually getting colder.
Instead, Hua Nong stood up, walked to the railing, looked at the sparkling lake, and said to himself.
"I have no friends in the palace, no relatives, he just gave me the whole world, I hate him, I can never forget a face of Nuonuo, he appeared in my dreams every night, calling me 'aunt', I can't forget the eyes of the lady looking at me, I can't forget the despair of my husband, and all this is given by him."
In the end, the more she spoke, the more excited she became, and Concubine Ning was stunned, it turned out that she had endured so much by herself.
"Queen's ......"
"I should have been the queen, I was tolerant of the people who turned my backs, but in turn they wanted to put me to death, so why should I be merciful to them?" Hua Nong looked at Concubine Ning's suddenly pale face, and a trace of disbelief flashed in her eyes.
"You are ......" she suddenly realized why she said that she should have been the queen.
Where can I find someone who is exactly the same?
Where would anyone hate all this?
She should have known that she was Emperor Zhou E, the peerless Emperor Zhou Jia'e.
"That'...... Does he know? Concubine Ning lowered her voice and asked, if the emperor knew, he would not treat her like this.
Hua Nong smiled, "He wants me to be Yin Hua Nong for the rest of his life." ”
Looking at Concubine Ning's struggling face, Hua Nong stepped forward, raised her hands covered with Kodan and gently brushed the folds on her clothes.
"The concubine won't say it, I'd rather be like a flower bone to make fine dust, and the fragrance would rather be a feather book."
As soon as the words fell, I saw Concubine Ning's face pale, a few drops of crystal in her eyes, her expression was slightly excited, and her hands grabbed Hua Nong's clothes.
"What did you just say? What do you know? ”
Hua Nong gently broke away and straightened out the wide sleeved robe, "If the concubine is willing to help me, I will give you a big gift." ”
After speaking, he didn't look at the person standing there in a daze, with a shallow smile, his eyes were frozen, and he turned to leave.
In the blink of an eye, at night, Hua Nong looked at the entrance of the palace, "Father-in-law Hai, why hasn't the emperor come yet?" ”
Hairong hurriedly ran over and frowned, "If you go back to your mother, you forgot, you arranged for Concubine Lin's imperial attendant, and you can't come today." ”
Hua Nong looked at the empty marble outside in a daze, reflecting the bright moonlight, desolate and lonely, Hua Nong slowly supported his body and carefully sat on the soft couch, holding his forehead with both hands.
Hairong stepped forward gently, his tone was helpless, "Niangniang, why are you suffering?" The emperor feels sorry for you from the bottom of his heart, if you say something good, even if you don't apologize, the emperor will forgive you. ”
Hua Nong pondered for a long time and did not speak, and just when Hai Rong had already given up, Hua Nong finally spoke, "I will never forget how Nuo'er died in front of me." ”
Hai Rong sighed, "But that's not the emperor's fault, the former queen has already been punished, including what you did to the crown prince, the emperor can turn a blind eye, why do you hold on to it?" ”
"Grandpa Hai," Hua Nong's tone was close to choking, "If he had waited a little longer and waited for me to come back, I would not have been homeless, and I would not have become Hua Nong."
I said to myself that it was all over, there was nothing to hate, but I couldn't control myself, and when I saw him, I remembered that he was the same as everyone else, and he didn't hesitate to abandon me, all because of him, which caused today's situation. ”
There was a low cry in the hall, Hai Rong sighed without saying a word, and the figures outside the hall gradually disappeared, leaving a lonely afterglow.
"Slaves and maids see the queen mother, the queen mother is a thousand years old."
Liuzhu, who was dressed in a red gauze dress below, stood below with a radiant face, his face showed the shyness of his daughter's family, his eyes were bright, and he knelt down respectfully and respectfully.
Before Hua Nong could speak, he heard a warm male voice next to him and remembered, "It's cold on the ground, concubine Ai, get up quickly." ”
Hua Nong was stunned for a moment, and sat on it and watched Liuzhu being weakly helped up by the palace people.
When the waiter helped up the delicate and weak, when it was the new inheritance, Hua Nong smiled disdainfully, do you still want to be Yang Guifei?
"Seeing that the emperor is happy, the palace is relieved, it seems that the concubine serves the emperor well, and the emperor doesn't appreciate anything?" Hua Nong set his eyes on the person sitting lazily on the dragon chair.
Li Yu chuckled lightly and looked at Hua Nong, "What the queen said is very true, but I have rewarded you with all the good things, so it is better for the queen to reward me." ”
Hua Nong was stunned for a moment, looked at the Liuzhu on the ground, his face suddenly turned pale, and smiled, "Okay, then ask what Concubine Yu wants?" ”
Liuzhu was stunned, fixed her expression, thought about it, and crawled on the ground obediently and skillfully, "Go back to the emperor, go back to the mother, the slave and maid dare not ask for a reward, and being able to serve the emperor and the mother is what the slave and the maid should do." ”
Hua Nong hid his smile with a handkerchief, "Concubine Yu is really good at talking, no wonder the emperor favors you, as long as it is in the palace, the concubine will choose the same, you're welcome." ”
Liuzhu paused, "The slave maid knows that Niangniang is pregnant with a dragon seed and her body is inconvenient, so the slave maid wants to share her worries for Niangniang, take care of His Royal Highness the prince personally, and wait for Niangniang to give birth to the prince, and send the prince back." ”
Hua Nong put away his smile, played with the handkerchief in his hand, and didn't speak, Liuzhu didn't hear the echo for a long time, quite embarrassed, seeing the emperor just watching her laugh on the side, his heart panicked.
Is it too hasty, but if you don't seize this opportunity to mention it, I'm afraid you won't even be able to rely on the prince.
Asking the prince over at this time can not only buy the prince's heart, but also play a pivotal role in the emperor's heart, even if the queen does anything in the future, he will have a way out.
"...... Slave ......"
"Okay," before Liuzhu finished speaking, Hua Nong looked at her and said, the deep and invisible bottom in his eyes, and the smile on his face made people chill.
"Since the concubine is so hearted, how can the palace not allow it, what does the emperor think?"
Hua Nong looked at the man on the side, and the man raised his eyebrows, "The queen has agreed, what else can I say, so be it." ”
Hua Nong smiled and instructed Hairong on the side, "Go and pack up the things for the prince, and send them to the palace of the concubine, fortunately, the concubine is closer to the palace, and there is no need to be too troublesome, just pack some important ones, and send the piece of colorful glazed gilded sea diamond algae in the treasury to the concubine, it can't be no reward at all." ”
Hairong wrote it down again and again on the side, Liuzhu didn't expect her to be so happy, she thought that after telling the emperor what she had done to the prince yesterday, the emperor would propose to send the prince to herself, but she didn't think that the emperor would not say a word, but the queen was a good person.
Since then, the emperor stayed in Liuzhu's dormitory every night, not to mention opening another palace for her, and still lived in the west garden of the queen's bedroom.
Liuzhu was only anxious in her heart, because her title had always been that of a concubine, and it was not easy to ask for it.
Sometimes even when Hua Nong was strolling around the Imperial Garden, he only said a few polite words casually, as if nothing had happened.
For a time, the concubine was favored forever, and the queen was generous and tolerant, and won the sacred heart.
It's been four months, Hua Nong's body is prominent, what he eats and what he vomits, and his temper is getting worse and worse.
The Great Song Dynasty sent people to spread the word many times, wanting Li Yu to take the queen to meet him, but Li Yu blocked him back, which made Zhao Yin very dissatisfied, and for a while, the government and the opposition were all talking.
Some strongly oppose the emperor to go, it is a national shame, and going is equivalent to bowing down to the ministers, but some strongly support it, for the sake of the people of the country, why not sacrifice the dignity of the royal family.
Li Yu was silent in the middle, presumably wanting to do the last dying struggle.
