Chapter 9 An inch of lovesickness and an inch of gray
The past is empty, and it is still like a dream
Chapter X
King Haiding's case was very noisy, and the excerpts of the officials were handed up in a swarm. The emperor of the pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info was furious, and ordered the three princes to be grounded in the palace for reflection, and ordered the Ministry of Punishment and the Ministry of Officials to preside over the case of King Haiding's dam failure.
Things are always like this, and once some things are torn apart, they can't be hidden. The matter of the son of King Haiding accepting bribes and selling officials was also exposed by the imperial historians. Selling officials has appeared before, but now that the saint is in power, he is very disgusted with selling officials. And now King Haiding is selling officials, which can be regarded as a taboo for the emperor.
"Really, I heard what the little guy next to Hou Ye said, now that King Haiding's family has been escorted to the capital, the emperor asked the Seventh Prince to supervise the case."
"In the past few years, the emperor has begun to be a little powerless, and he doesn't like to form a party for personal gain, and this time it will have a great impact on the three princes."
"Why? Miss. Although King Haiding is from the Three Princes' Party, he is not directly involved with the Three Princes? ”
It will definitely involve the matter of the three princes, and it is not limited to King Haiding.
"Miss, Miss! Oh no, someone is in the palace, Madame asked you to hurry over! ”
Hurried to the main courtyard.
"What the hell is going on? Why did someone suddenly come to the palace? ”
There is always a bad premonition, as if something bad is about to happen.
“…… The daughter of the Marquis of Weiyuan, Guan Qingnuan, has a gentle temperament, and is outstanding in learning, so she was specially ordered to accompany her in the palace. ”
"Madame, Miss, take the order." The father-in-law who announced the decree was also very respectful.
The official's mother was completely stunned and sat down on the ground.
"Thank you, father-in-law, father-in-law has worked hard, please have a cup of tea in the cold house and go."
The announcement was made by the big celebrity Yu Gonggong next to the queen's mother, seeing that Qing Nuan was small, but he was not frightened, he was very calm, and he had more love for this little girl in his heart.
"Yes, father-in-law, please take a seat." The official's mother also came back to her senses, but she still smiled reluctantly.
"No, our family has to go back to the palace to restore their lives, and we have to go back. It is a great honor to be raised by the queen's side, and others can't think of it. Madame and Miss will prepare, and someone from the palace will come to pick you up in ten days. ”
"Thank you father-in-law for mentioning it, Zhang's mother sent it to my father-in-law."
Zhang's mother stuffed a big red envelope into her father-in-law's hand, but her father-in-law politely refused.
Seeing this, Qing Nuan already understood.
First, this time I entered the palace to accompany the princesses, not to accompany them, but the situation seems to be worse. The queen wants to use herself to contain the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion, even if she doesn't let the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion fall to the Three Princes' faction, she must contain her own family and don't add fuel to the fire. Second, the father-in-law did not accept the tea money from the house, which means that there is basically no room for negotiation in this matter.
"What can I do?!"
The official's mother looked at her grown daughter in her hand, and her heart was already a little close to collapse. Although Qing Nuan has become calm since falling into the water, she is a child after all!
"Mother!" Qing Nuan stood next to the official mother and gently patted the official mother's back with her hand to help her calm down.
"Did Mother Zhang send someone to inform Master Hou?"
"Madame, relieved, I have gone."
"Mother is relieved, since it has happened, let's think about whether there is any other way, whether we can change it again, this is the important thing." Liu Yiyi, who was beside her, gently patted the hand of the official mother and comforted the official mother.
"What Yiyi said is that I am confused, and this is not the time to panic and mess up."
Slightly calmed down, the official mother has calmed down.
"Wait for the Hou Ye to come back and discuss."
looked at Qing Nuan again, and said to Yiyi: "You accompany Nuan'er back to the yard first!" ”
"Nuan'er, are you alright?" Yiyi is also a little worried about this sister-in-law, after all, she is only nine years old, and she has not experienced the days of leaving care.
"It's okay sister-in-law, if you come, you will be safe, I understand." Qing Nuan hasn't figured out how to save herself, but she doesn't want her family to worry about her.
"Well, if there's anything, be sure to tell me." Seeing the little girl's strong appearance, Yiyi felt a little distressed.
"Sister-in-law, go back and rest, I also want to rest for a while." Qing Nuan needs to be quiet, it seems that she hasn't worked so hard for a long time, and her political sense has deteriorated.
Although she was still not at ease, she also knew that it was best for the little girl to think it out by herself, so Yiyi left and went back to the yard.
Qing Nuan sat in front of the dresser and opened the small red box carved with exquisite magnolia flowers. The jade had been carved in half, and the uncarved part was still uneven, but it was still crystal clear and emitted a soft light.
What can I do this time? The queen mother made the order without revealing any rumors, and she was already ready to be blamed by the emperor. It's just that the emperor is not necessarily unwilling, even if he is unwilling, he will not let the queen mother take back her will, and it will be a big joke in the world.
Now I can only see if I can not serve by the queen's side, and then I can stay in the palace for a year or two before I am released from the palace.
In the Northern Han Dynasty, there was such a convention, the official women entered the palace to be selected, and some of the lucky ones were selected as the emperor's concubines, and the other part would stay in the palace to serve the nobles.
Can you meet the Seventh Master? Ask him what he should do, but he may be inseparable from King Haiding's case now, and he has not come back from the yali for the past few days.
Yukun Palace
"Mother, you can help Qing warm, mother!" Eleven heard that Qing Nuan was recruited into the palace to serve by the queen, so he hurriedly came to find the imperial concubine, hoping to get the imperial concubine to come forward and help Qing Nuan avoid this catastrophe.
"Is that the little girl who stayed with you at the last flower viewing party?" The imperial concubine was reluctant to ask about this matter, because after all, this matter involved party disputes.
"That's right, it's her, she's my best friend, so you must help the concubine, can you not let her enter the palace?" Eleventh is to treat Qing Nuan sincerely. Qing Nuan is not deliberately pleasing anyone like others, right is right, and wrong is wrong. I remember the first time I saw her at the palace banquet, I was greedy and bumped into a little palace maid, and I played a prank to scare her, and I was taught a lesson by a little girl. I had never been scolded before, so I was naturally angry. After that, I don't know what to say, but I actually fought with her, and in the end, both of them were tired, and sat on the floor of the imperial garden, looking at each other and laughing. After that, the two became good friends, and every time they left the palace, they would definitely go to play with her.
"Let me think about it." The imperial concubine really didn't want to wade into this troubled water.
"Mother!"
"It's not as simple as you think, let's not talk about it. Wei Lan, let's prepare for dinner. The queen mother hasn't seen you for a long time, so you can stay here and eat with the queen mother today! ”
Shimizu-in
Qing Nuan washed up and rested early after dinner, although he had sent someone to send a message to the official father and Qingzheng before, but the two of them had not returned to the house. Thinking about the case of King Haiding, it seems that it is going to be made big.
Let the maids all go down to rest, and leave a lamp on the table next to the bed, the dim light flickered, Qing Nuan lay on the bed, with her hands under her head, thinking about how to break this situation.
The window was gently pushed and a gust of wind blew.
"Why haven't you slept yet?"
Hearing a familiar voice, Qing Nuan sat up suddenly.
"Why are you here?"
"I got the news, about today's events, this will be my son's way out."
"Is King Haiding's case tricky?"
Staring straight into her eyes, as if everything was going naturally and calmly.
"Forget it, if you don't want to say it, forget it."
It's not that I don't want to tell you, it's just that things in the court are too dirty, and I don't want you to know.
"Is there any countermeasure for today's matter?" He sat on the edge of the bed with his hands behind his back.
"No, there is no way, the queen has already made an order, and there is no room for turnaround." Although I was very happy that he could come to see me tonight, but after all, there is a difference between men and women, and seeing him sitting on the edge of the bed, Qing Nuan moved inside.
"Well, yes. Now I can only try my best to let you not get to the queen's side, and then you can leave the palace earlier, and you don't have to be sent into the palace like ordinary eunuchs. ”
As with the plan I thought, it seems to be the best way to deal with it.
"I will tell my mother to ask her to take you over, anyway, the will does not say which noble person to accompany you. This time, the queen called you into the palace under the pretext that the eunuch sent her daughter to the palace to accompany her every year, and the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion was not used this time, this time it was a bit far-fetched, she should not bite and not let go. ”
"Well, that's what I thought too. Then I'll trouble you, and the concubine. ”
"It's okay, this is also helping me, don't wait so many years."
"Hmm, what?" Qing Nuan raised her head and asked him in a daze what he had just said.
"It's nothing, you go to bed early, don't worry, everything is with me." As he spoke, he got up and was about to go out, and he had to rush to discuss with his staff.
"Well, you have to get some rest, too." Everything has me, this is the most beautiful love story in the world.
Seeing that Qing Nuan was a little embarrassed, he turned his head to face him, Chong Geng couldn't help but smile, and the tiredness of the past few days of sleepless was swept away. Qing Nuan, grow up quickly!
Heavy rain began to fall early the next morning, and I heard that the disaster in Yuncheng had also been alleviated, but the case of King Haiding was still unresolved. I heard that the Criminal Department and the Ministry of Officials had handed over the report on the closure of the case, but the emperor did not reply for a long time. It seems that the emperor does not intend to give up the three princes, after all, he is the son of the queen, and he is considered an orthodox candidate for inheritance.
"Lilacs are empty and sad in the rain", this situation and this scene could not be more suitable, and things are coming one after another. I was forced not to think about things that had nothing to do with me, but this feeling of walking in the dark made Qing Nuan very uneasy. It's driven by your own habits, and you get used to it slowly.
At noon, Wei Mo asked someone to hand over the post, saying that she would come to visit in the afternoon, and she should have come to ask about her entry into the palace.
Before the maid brought Wei Mo in, she heard Wei Mo's voice first.
"What do you think you can do?" Wei Mo entered the door by himself and ordered the maids to wait outside.
"My mother has already made it clear to me about the last time, and at first I thought she was comforting me, but then when she came down and said that she would go to the palace to accompany me, she scared me."
"I dodged last time, but I didn't dodge this time."
"What then?"
"I have asked the seventh master to help, it would be best if I could not serve by the queen's side, so that I could come out after staying in the palace for a year or two."
"Yes."
It's as if you've found something.
"Hey, when did you become so familiar with the Seventh Master? Hurry up and recruit from the truth. ”
"Don't say it, just ask the seventh master for help, and the seventh master also agreed. I only told you, not even my mother! Don't talk about it. ”
"Don't worry, if you don't want to say it, I won't ask, it's naturally good to see that you have a way." This is about the innocence of his daughter's family, although Wei Mo is stubborn, but he is very sober in major matters.
"It's not that I want to hide it from you, it's just that it's inconvenient to say it now."
"We won't talk about that between us. By the way, I haven't been to see Sister Yiyi, phew, no, it's the official's sister-in-law. ”
"Okay, let's go together."
Jingyang Palace
"Everyone has come to say hello today." The queen's consistent graceful bearing.
"See the Queen!" All the concubines and concubines are invited to arrive.
"Watch, tea."
"It's just rained, and it's cool, so I walked to the queen to taste the flower and fruit tea from the queen mother," the princess said with a smile, "The queen won't think we're bothering." ”
"Yes, it was very hot last night, and it was much better after a rain." It was Dong Guifei who answered.
"I heard that the queen mother passed the little girl of the Weiyuan Hou family to accompany her in the palace?"
"Xingui is well-informed, yes." A hint of suspicion flashed in the queen's eyes.
"I saw the kid at the last flower viewing party, and although he wasn't smart, he was very well-behaved. It just so happens that I'm lonely there, so it's better for the queen to give her only to me, and it's good to accompany me to relieve my boredom. Dong Guifei said.
"What? Dong Guifei also likes this girl? ”
"Also?"
"Yes", touching the jade Ruyi in her arms, "Yesterday, the imperial concubine just said that she wanted this girl." ”
