Chapter 65: The Emperor's Stratagem (4)
Concubine Lingrong, with delicate facial features, clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, purple clothes and white yarn rising in the wind, and her temperament is like a fairy. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 She stood at the door, waiting for a long time, but the returning minion flicked her sleeves and let her go. She was very unhappy in her heart, her gentle eyes instantly burst into flames, and while pouting and angry on the way back, she complained: "This cunning old fox, seeing that I have fallen out of favor with Your Majesty, immediately found a new eyeliner in the name of the fairy portrait and placed it beside Your Majesty!" He wanted to cross the river and tear down the bridge! ”
The more Concubine Ling Rong thought about it, the more angry she became, she walked to a rockery, gritted her teeth and clenched her fists with both hands, and smashed it against the angular rockery.
The resentment in my heart has covered up the pain in my hands.
"Stinky fox, even if the person you dedicated to Your Majesty is really a fairy, I want you to know that my mausoleum can still be beautiful and overwhelming!"
A moment later, Concubine Lingrong's slender figure, like a slender cloud, Shi Shiran left.
The scarlet blood on the rockery looks weird and striking in the misty moonlight.
For seven days in a row, the emperor was in low spirits in the early dynasty, and he did not summon other concubines at night, but only guarded Lingsuxue to play the piano and music in the study every day.
made the other concubines complain and complained to Concubine Lingrong, who was once favored.
Concubine Lingrong couldn't bear it, and broke into the emperor's bedroom three or four times, but was stopped by the minions.
With no solution, Concubine Lingrong had no choice but to leave the palace and come to the luxurious and huge mansion of the nine thousand years old, and said angrily to the nine thousand years old: "Since you chose me in the first place, why do you still install a new person next to Your Majesty now?" ”
Nine thousand years old sat on the wide Taishi chair, with cold eyes: "You have fallen out of favor, and you have not been favored by His Majesty once in three months, do you still want our family to have hope for you?" ”
"Your Majesty is only a temporary aesthetic fatigue for me, and with a long time, I am dressing up more, and Your Majesty will definitely fall in love at first sight!" Concubine Ling Rong retorted.
"You can wait, we can't wait. The small border country is already in my hands, just wait for the birth of the new prince of Western Qin, and then overthrow Your Majesty and let me listen to the government! Nine thousand years old said coldly.
"But ......"
"But what? It's also good for you to abandon you and replace you with a new person. Do you want to wait for the emperor to renew the other concubines and put you in the cold palace before repenting? ”
"Your Majesty doesn't see me, what's the difference between me and entering the cold palace?"
"At least you're a poor madman like the cold palace, and you're living a pretty good life!"
Concubine Lingrong had nothing to say.
Nine thousand years old waved his hand lightly: "Stand down, there are more miserable concubines than you, you should be glad for your current situation." ”
Concubine Lingrong was unwilling, but she didn't dare to resist the nine thousand years old, so she had to return to the palace in disgrace.
Three days later, the harem was indeed overwhelmingly filled with the news that His Majesty was going to reward the new beauty. Moreover, it is necessary to reward the queen with the treatment of a huge ceremony and feast the ministers.
Many concubines were unhappy in their hearts, and rushed to Weiyang Palace with an unwilling attitude to ask for an explanation.
The queen mother carried the pressure and comforted everyone with a smile and dignity: "That woman is just a concubine, you don't have to be impatient." Flowers are not red for a hundred days, no matter how beautiful a woman is, there will always be a day when she will wither, and Your Majesty will eventually return to our arms. ”
Having said that, the concubines are still nervous.
And the emperor was fortunate that Ling Suxue had not seen the news of other concubines for ten days, and it soon spread to the ears of the nine thousand years old.
It seems that it's time for our family to summon Ling Suxue.
That night, when Ling Suxue was sleeping alone in the brocade quilt warm couch, the roof tiles on the house were gently lifted by the black-clothed man who walked like the wind at night, and dripped a strangely scented medicine.
The drop of medicine landed in Ling Suxue's mouth with unmistakable precision, making her slowly get up and walk towards the door like a sleepwalking zombie.
When she opened her eyes again, a strong light shone on Ling Suxue's face, and she subconsciously covered her face with her hands, and saw between her fingers that Nine Thousand Years Old was sitting in front of her majestically.
"Lingxue Xue, long time no see." The corners of Jiu Chitose's mouth faintly hooked up a cold smile.
Only then did Ling Suxue react, and she was now in the nine-thousand-year-old mansion.
"How did I get here?" Ling Suxue couldn't help but ask.
Nine thousand years old's eyes shone on Ling Suxue's beautiful bare feet: "You received an order, so you came obediently by yourself." ”
The scenery of the palace and the street appeared in Ling Suxue's mind, and then she smashed her mouth and tasted a bitter taste: "What did you give me?" ”
"Haha, it's just a few drops of delicious medicine, it's your body that's too obedient." Nine thousand years old sneered.
Ling Suxue's face sank: "Anyway, what did you summon me to want to know?" ”
The nine-thousand-year-old eyes were as deep as a wolf, sinking like a black hole, and he looked at the other party for a long time before saying: "You don't resist our family?" ”
"Why should I resist?"
"Our family wanted to send you to the palace, but you were unwilling, and you even dared to bite your tongue."
"Before, I was a loner and had never touched the palace. Now that I have lived in His Majesty's dormitory for ten days, I suddenly feel that it is much better to wait by his side like this than to wander among the people and not have enough meals. ”
"You've finally opened your mind, and it's not in vain that I've been giving you a lot of support."
A satisfied smile appeared on the face of the nine thousand years old.
Ling Suxue also changed her previous stubbornness, looked at the other party and smiled softly: "It is a blessing for a people's daughter to be able to do things for nine thousand years old." ”
"Huh! You are about to be promoted to a concubine, and our family will have to rely on the concubine to take care of you at that time. ”
"Where, where! We help each other, and we should cooperate with each other, so we don't believe in this straw bag-like emperor and don't give up the throne. ”
"This is natural, if Your Majesty wants to be fully trusted, it depends on whether the concubine's stomach is angry or not."
The two flattered each other, and Ling Suxue brought the topic back on track.
"Nine thousand years old called me this time and what do you want me to do?"
"Help our family make a copy of the military formation map that His Majesty hid in the study."
"Nine thousand years old is in power, can't you personally ask Your Majesty to show it to you?"
"Hmph, I have been dry in the court since His Majesty was ten years old, and I found that when he grew up, he actually learned to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger, and he set a set in front of me, but behind his back he united with other old ministers to raise troops. Didn't His Majesty mention to you about other officials on the 10th? ”
"Nope." Lingxue was indifferent.
"Okay, it's not too early, you have to go back to the palace before dawn, this is the medicine you just took, take it and walk in the palace, those patrol guards will think you are sleepwalking." After that, the nine thousand years old handed Ling Suxue a bottle of white elixir.
Lingsu Xue poured out a drop, as when he came, closed his eyes, stepped on the cold bluestone slab with his bare feet, and slowly returned to the emperor's bedroom.
At this moment, a small lamp was burning in the dormitory.
The cold wind blowing through the hall blows cold on people.
There was a calm figure sitting next to the soft brocade couch, it was the emperor.
When the emperor saw Ling Suxue returning from sleepwalking, he greeted her with a smile and said, "Ai Concubine, thank you for your hard work." ”
Ling Suxue walked to the bed, her eyes suddenly opened, and she smiled: "The old fox believes it." (To be continued.) )
