Chapter 142: Waiting
The beaded curtains in the curtain glowed like the glow of the sun, and there was a hot and peculiar smell in the air. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info This is the smell of spices and joy mixed together.
Yuan Ge seemed to be sleeping very deeply with her eyes closed, but when Emperor Qiyuan, who was lying next to her, suddenly sat up, she woke up almost at the same time. However, when she became conscious, she did not open her eyes at the first time, but maintained her previous appearance, and her breathing did not even change.
She felt that Emperor Qiyuan seemed to be looking at her for a moment, then reached out and stroked her cheek, and then got up and left the bed.
Yuan Ge didn't open his eyes, but he found that Emperor Qiyuan was not thinking of the night or being thirsty. Because she didn't hear any movement, Emperor Qiyuan seemed to be farther away.
In the dim candlelight, her eyes quietly opened a gap, and she saw Emperor Qiyuan walking to the window, and then raised her hand and knocked three rhythmically.
Soon there was a figure outside the window, Emperor Qiyuan looked back at the direction of the bed, and Yuan Ge quickly closed his eyes. She guessed that this was the person who was secretly guarding Emperor Qiyuan, and she wanted to hear about the three watches in the middle of the night, and they wanted to say something confidential.
However, after listening carefully for a while, she found that the voice was low and indistinct, and although she could hear it, she could not even hear a single word.
After Emperor Qiyuan looked back at the person on the bed who had not been woken up, he asked in a low voice, "Who is outside?" ”
The figure outside the window replied: "Subordinate Long Qi." ”
"Hmm." Emperor Qiyuan said softly: "Are all the people guarded, if you find anything, immediately take the people and interrogate them clearly, I will know the reason and the main messenger early tomorrow." ”
That time when he heard that in Fengyang Palace, there were people in the middle of the night who wanted to haunt him, Emperor Qiyuan felt very angry in his heart, and he asked the people who stayed in Fengyang Palace why they didn't catch them.
If he wasn't worried that something would always happen in Fengyang Palace, he would have wanted to transfer people away. But even so, there is a punishment for those who do not do well. After that, he was worried that the people in Fengyang Palace would let the 'ghost' escape after it appeared, so he asked people to secretly guard the center and take down the 'ghost' when necessary.
It's just that in the past two days, the 'ghost' doesn't seem to be going to appear again, and he has to let people continue to guard it.
The voice of the person outside the window said affirmatively: "Your Majesty, rest assured, as long as that ghost dares to appear tonight, his subordinates will not let him escape."
"Go ahead." After the figure outside the window disappeared, Emperor Qiyuan returned to bed lightly.
And Yuan Ge, who couldn't hear what Emperor Qiyuan was talking to, no longer cared about the strange way of speaking. It's just that after being hugged by Emperor Qiyuan, who was squeezed over, he couldn't help but clench his fists.
Although this coral bead is indeed extraordinary, so that the curtain has always carried a cool air, but even so, isn't it hot to hold her in your arms in the summer?
Angry, Yuan Ge fell asleep again.
The night was peaceful, and even the cheerful sound of insects and frogs that crowed at night seemed to be gone.
In the next few days, Emperor Qiyuan stayed in Fengyang Palace, and the eyes of the people in the harem were red with jealousy. It's just that Yuan Ge and Emperor Qiyuan both wanted to catch the ghosts, but they never appeared.
In the past few days, the traces on the faces of Xiaoying and Xiaoque have been almost the same every day, but after three or two days of hard work, they have been as clean as new, and the injuries on their faces before can not be seen at all.
Not only that, but the faces of the two of them are like shelled eggs, not only looking white, but also very tender. Such a change, the people in Miaoyin Xuan immediately noticed.
Of course, Liu Fanghua also found out that the two inconspicuous maidservants in the past had such eye-catching times. In the past, there was always a lingering depression between the two of them. Now the complexion is a lot whiter, which makes people look a lot brighter and more comfortable.
So Liu Fanghua immediately remembered the box of Ninghua cream.
"Ah Zhu, that Ning Hua Frost seems to be really good, go to the Tai Hospital and get a few boxes for me." Liu Fanghua smiled and said, "Of course, I won't let you go empty-handed." ”
The corners of Ah Zhu's mouth curled slightly, and then he said with a smile: "Little master, do you want to try Ninghua Frost?" The slave doesn't know which one you want. ”
Liu Fanghua sat up straight with interest and said, "Could it be that there are several kinds of Ninghua Frost?" ”
"Back to the little master, that's exactly the case." Ah Zhu replied slowly: "This Ning Hua Cream is the best quality for beauty, and the things it uses are naturally precious herbs and spices. ”
"But how many people have the ability to buy the most expensive one? For Xiaoying, they only use a medium beauty smile, the best Ning Hua cream is called Yipinjiao, and the most ordinary one is called Xueyan cream.
Liu Fanghua raised her eyebrows and said: "It turns out that Ninghua Frost is not called Ninghua Frost?" ”
Ah Zhu pursed his lips and smiled, lowered his voice and said: "This thing was called Ning Huashuang in the previous dynasty, and when it comes to our Dawu, it naturally has to be called by a different name." ”
"That's right." Liu Fanghua laughed and said, "Since this is the case, then give me the best Yipinjiao, this name sounds really fresh." ”
This time, Azhu hesitated, and said a little squeaky: "Little master, this product is not easy to make, it is rare to have three or two boxes, if you want a few boxes, I am afraid that you will not be able to ......"
seemed to be afraid that Liu Fanghua would be angry, and said a little cautiously when it came to the back: "Moreover, and the price of Yipinjiao is not comparable to the other two at all." ”
"Jokes." Hearing Ah Zhu say this, Liu Fanghua snorted and said, "No matter how precious Ren is, will I not be able to afford the price?" Go, ask how many, I'll want them all! ”
"But, but." Ah Zhu swallowed his saliva and said, "But a pinjiao, a small box, will cost four hundred taels." ”
"Four hundred taels?" Liu Fanghua was shocked when she heard this, the best Baihuayan in the capital is only one hundred taels! Liu Fanghua looked at Ah Zhu and said a little angrily: "I want to know what is in it, it will be more expensive than Baihuayan!" ”
Ah Zhu cried with a sad face, and stammered: "Little master, don't be angry, the slave and maid are not very clear, only know that there are a few valuable things such as snow lotus and East China Sea pearls in it." ”
Liu Fanghua's eyebrows were tightly wrinkled, and finally he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, go get me a box back, if it doesn't work, don't blame me for picking your skin!" ”
"Yes." Aju hung his head.
When Ah Zhu retreated to the door, he suddenly spoke again: "Little master, the rough palace maid Xiuju, seems to have been bitten by poisonous mosquitoes in the past few days, and her face has red and shiny packets. ”
When the slave saw that she couldn't cry, she had the courage to say a few words for her in front of the little master. It's better to let her stay in the room and raise before coming out, otherwise it will be scary. ”
Liu Fanghua thought of the red envelopes on her face, and suddenly felt nauseous, and frowned: "Okay, I'm approved, you don't have to mention it again." ”
"The slave knows."
Yi Pinjiao soon arrived in Liu Fanghua's hands, and when she thought of four hundred taels and only bought such a small box of things, she felt that it was a little uneconomical. However, after using it twice, it was immediately no longer too expensive.
"Little master, look, isn't that Liu Fanghua?"
Zhang Ronghua looked sideways, and saw Liu Fanghua with a coquettish smile and the palace maid walking slowly towards her. As soon as she approached, she noticed that this person seemed to be a little different from the previous meeting.
Sensing Zhang Ronghua's scrutiny, Liu Fanghua smiled proudly in his heart, thinking that the four hundred taels of flowers were really worth.
"Sister Zhang, it's been a few days, how are you doing?"
Zhang Ronghua didn't like Liu Fanghua, so he only nodded when he heard the words and said, "Everything is fine, I won't tell you more if I have something to do, go back first." ”
After the people walked away, Ah Zi beside Liu Fanghua said with a smile on his face: "Little master, look, Zhang Ronghua saw that he was not able to match your appearance, and he was in a hurry to leave as soon as he met him!" ”
Liu Fanghua smiled happily when she said this, but said coldly: "What nonsense, didn't you hear, Zhang Ronghua has something to do, so he wants to leave." ”
Ah Zi muttered in a low voice: "What's the matter, I was still standing here just now enjoying the scenery, as soon as you came, Zhang Ronghua knew that he couldn't compare to your stunning beauty, so he retreated in defeat." ”
"Look at your little sweet mouth, you can really talk."
In the Fuxiang Courtyard, Ping'er looked at the things on the table that were almost piled up, and said with a happy face: "Little master, look, these are all things sent by other little masters personally." ”
Qing Yu glanced at those things, and hummed lightly, without showing a smile. But Ping'er didn't notice it, just looked at those things vigorously, and muttered in her mouth: "This material is good, make two new clothes for the little master, and you will definitely compare with other little masters." ”
It's been a while since the Tangram Banquet, and since that day, the little masters in the Fuxiang Courtyard no longer dare to come here to make trouble, and they all bring things with a smile on their faces to apologize.
Although there are many things that Ping'er doesn't understand, she understands that all of this is because of the imperial concubine, so there are these changes. So she put down the things in her hand and said, "Little master, we are all thanks to the blessing of the imperial concubine to have such a good life." ”
"The imperial concubine is really a good person, or tomorrow I will go to the imperial concubine to say goodbye, with the care of the imperial concubine, no one will dare to be disrespectful to the little master in the future."
In fact, before, Ping'er wanted to persuade the little master to go to Fengyang Palace and say hello to the imperial concubine. In this way, he got on Fengyang Palace, why worry about not seeing the emperor?
It's just that every time she mentions it, the little master's face is very ugly, and she says that her foot is a little sprained and she will go to ask for peace later. Now that it's been so long, there's no problem with going to invite Mr. An, no matter how late the imperial concubine is, she should forget about the little master.
Qing promised to look at Ping'er patiently, thinking that in the future, she must find a chance to change this idiot. He is neither clever nor shrewd, and even his loyalty is discounted.
How is the imperial concubine?
What happened that day was engraved in her body like blood and bones, and she never dared to forget it! On that day, someone secretly caused her to fall, and the imperial concubine Niangniang stretched out her hand with a sympathetic face when everyone else was watching the joke.
But she would rather the imperial concubine not help her!
Qing agreed? Hehe, the imperial concubine simply wants to show how much she has a sacred heart in front of everyone, so she will ask for a title for her. It was precisely because of her intervention that everyone present saw the emperor's impatience and unintentionality towards her.
The emperor felt that she was not worthy of the title of lotus, and the lotus dance she bothered to dance was simply a joke!
Squeezing the handkerchief tightly, trying to suppress the resentment in his heart, Qing promised to glance at Ping'er, and said indifferently: "The imperial concubine has to deal with the harem affairs, how can she have time to see me?" There is no need to mention this matter again, I naturally have a sense of proportion in my heart. ”
Now the most important thing she should do is not to please the imperial concubine, but to think about how to let the emperor see her, and then like her again. Otherwise, when the imperial concubine and her newly obtained title are useless, she will have to live the days before being trampled on.
She's waiting, waiting for an opportunity.
Ping'er, who was standing on the side, wanted to persuade again, but in the end, under Qing Yue's indifferent eyes, he timidly stopped.
Everyone is waiting.
Liu Fanghua's appearance is getting better and better day by day, she is in a good mood all day long, and she no longer scolds Xiaoying and Xiaoque at every turn.
In Ci'an Palace, Ye Qiluo and Ye Qiluo became more and more anxious. Because my aunt didn't do anything other than tell the imperial concubine about it, such as inviting the emperor to come to Ci'an Palace for dinner, so that they could meet the emperor.
The court will bring up the old things every day, and the recitals asking for the queen are also piled up on the desk.
Recently, Yuan Ge has to deal with Emperor Qiyuan every day, he is really physically and mentally exhausted, and he took out the cultivation he has accumulated in several lifetimes, so he did not embarrass Emperor Qiyuan in person.
No, in fact, she also shook her face, but Emperor Qiyuan always pretended to favor her, and she tolerated it all. Compared to previous lives, it was more than that.
And she also reacted quickly, and was disgusted by Emperor Qiyuan's actions and was speechless for a long time. I didn't think about it for a while, so she didn't take Emperor Qiyuan's attitude to heart.
But now that he came back to his senses, he suddenly sneered in his heart. Because she remembered that now the court was clamoring to make her the queen, probably because she didn't want to be forced too hard, Emperor Qiyuan had to put on an attitude that favored her even more.
But it's really useful, because Emperor Qiyuan is very good to her, and everyone thinks that the queen's throne is about to fall into her hands, so she no longer urges it so tightly.
Yuan Ge was sure that he would not be the queen, but in fact, Emperor Qiyuan had been wavering recently, because he suddenly didn't want to have an extra queen before them.
He didn't want to see the person he liked, kneeling in front of another woman, or his nominal wife.
After hesitating for a long time, Emperor Qiyuan suddenly felt that even if he established Yuan Ge as the queen, so what? A promising monarch should not rely on a woman to control the balance of the court.
As long as he has enough ability to suppress the power-hungry Li Qingzhi and protect his sweetheart, what can't he do?
It's a harder road, but he wants to try! (To be continued.) )
