Chapter Ninety-Two: The Empress Liwei
Shen Rushuang turned over and regained her favor, not only Concubine Rong and Concubine Hua were shocked, but even the queen Lu Yingying, who helped, was also quite surprised. Before the plan was implemented, she was worried that Shen Rushuang alone would be sure enough to impress the emperor, and even, what she was optimistic about at the beginning was not Shen Rushuang, but Su Yichen behind Shen Rushuang.
Shen Rushuang did it, even better than she expected, she was overjoyed, and took the opportunity to hint to the emperor that she should give some compensation to the concubine who had been neglected and suppressed for a long time, the emperor was on the rise, and announced the promotion of concubine to concubine Huan on the spot, she guessed that when the news reached the Yiqing Palace, Duan Qingzi should be so angry that her leg disease relapsed, right? Jiang is still old and spicy, his grandfather has never won a war, Duan Qingzi's deliberate wooing and slight favor to the Dexi Palace can't match a sentence of Shen's bones in the end.
The day after Concubine Huan was promoted, because the emperor rested in her palace the night before, she came to Jingyang Palace to ask for peace a little late, but she didn't expect Concubine Hua and Concubine Rong to come together, and they came very early, as if they were waiting for her. As soon as Shen Rushuang's feet entered Jingyang Palace, she felt a bundle of eyes shooting towards her like arrows, she pretended to ignore it, walked straight into the hall, greeted the queen, and then knelt down to thank her.
"Sister Huan's flying dance last night is really amazing, such a soul-stirring dance, presumably the sisters here are also appreciating it for the first time, dare to ask where did my sister learn it? It is also possible for the sisters to see for a long time. As soon as Concubine Huan sat down, Concubine Rong on the opposite side couldn't wait to speak with her stomach straight.
Everyone heard the meaning of Concubine Rong's words, on the surface, she praised Concubine Huan's dancing well, but in fact, she was ridiculing her dancing and glamorous work, and she couldn't be on the stage. Ye Shuyi showed her timidity in front of Concubine Rong earlier, and she has not been treated well these days, but seeing that she had a chance to perform, she immediately jumped out and mocked: "The concubine knows a thing or two about this type of dance. ”
She deliberately paused and sold a pass, and then deliberately emphasized: "All the sisters know that the concubine is from a humble background, and this kind of dance is not seen in the palace of the princes and nobles, but the concubine's father has a concubine, who was born in the music workshop, and is also very good at this dance, so the concubine's father accepted her into the house, and the concubine has seen it once or twice." ”
Concubine Huan didn't say a word, the queen glanced down, and sneered: "The dance that Concubine Huan danced was adapted from the famous song "Linchun Music" of the Southern Dynasty, and was given the name Flying Dance by the emperor. ”
This hat was buttoned down, even if it was a head-killing, Ye Shuyi was so frightened that her face was discolored, and she immediately knelt down to admit her mistake and pleaded: "The concubine doesn't dare, it's the concubine who is lonely and unheard, and she doesn't know the flying dance of Sister Huan, please don't blame Sister Huan, and beg the queen to tell the emperor!" ”
Concubine Huan's face never turned, as if she hadn't heard it from beginning to end. The queen snorted coldly and rebuked sharply: "The harem is the emperor's resting place, what you want is harmony between the six palaces, and you can serve the emperor with all your might. Concubine Huan doesn't care about you, but this palace, as the head of the six palaces, can't sit idly by and condone such unhealthy tendencies! This palace will punish you with 20 slaps on your own, be grounded for 1 month, and punish you for copying 1,000 articles of "The Female Commandment" until you sincerely repent, Ye Shuyi, can you admit the punishment? ”
The women didn't expect that the queen, who had always been gentle and generous, would suddenly become fierce and directly take Ye Shuyi under the knife, Ye Shuyi regretted it in her heart and wanted to ask Concubine Rong for help, but where did Concubine Rong dare to intercede for her, the queen had the heart to kill the chicken to show the monkey, at this time, whoever opened her mouth was asking for trouble, she was not so stupid, and took the initiative to send it to the knife. Xia Chun shook her head gently at Ye Shuyi behind Concubine Rong, Ye Shuyi knew that she was hopeless, and closed her eyes with tears and said: "Concubine admits punishment, thank Queen Mother for her teachings." ”
Coming out of Jingyang Palace, passing through the Feiluan Palace, the master and servant saw from a distance that at the end of the corridor, there was a graceful and luxurious royal blue figure. Concubine Huan's footsteps stopped, and Su Yue whispered in her ear: "Niangniang, it seems to be Concubine Hua, do we need a detour?" ”
Hua Guifei stopped here on a cold day, of course, it was not to see the scenery, Concubine Huan said no, and asked Su Yue to wait for her in the same place, stepped forward by herself, bowed down and called: "Sister Qingzi." ”
Concubine Hua Guifei turned her head slowly and said with a light smile: "Sister Shuang'er has now climbed to a high branch, and there are other people who have you to be called a sister, and this palace can't afford it." ”
Concubine Huan still bowed and replied respectfully: "In Shuang'er's heart, Sister Qingzi has always been the person Shuang'er respects the most, and she has been and will be in the future, and Shuang'er will not forget." ”
Concubine Hua Guifei laughed: "Since you are the sister of the palace, why do you hide everything from the palace, but collude with the queen?" ”
Concubine Huan naturally didn't dare to tell her the truth, so she had to whisper: "Shuang'er didn't mean to hide it from her sister, it's just that Shuang'er has her own troubles, please forgive my sister." ”
Concubine Hua looked at her for a moment, then stretched out a hand and pulled her up: "Dexi Palace is in a difficult situation, you have regained the holy grace, and this palace is also very pleased, but when I think that the person you asked for help was the queen and not the palace, this palace couldn't help but reflect on whether this palace, which was a sister who did not do well, so that Shuang'er alienated this palace." ”
Concubine Huan hurriedly denied it: "Sister Qingzi has always taken good care of Dexi Palace and Shuang'er, and the Dexi Palace is inexplicably grateful, it is Shuang'er's inappropriate behavior that only increases my sister's worries, please don't blame myself." ”
Hua Guifei said: "Since Shuang'er has already said that there are other difficulties, it is inconvenient for this palace to ask what the reason is. This palace knows that the Qing Palace is not as powerful as the Middle Palace, and the fact that it can help Shuang'er is limited, Shuang'er intends to take refuge in the Middle Palace, and this palace is not incomprehensible, but you and I sisters, this palace still wants to advise you, I only hope that you will cherish the road ahead, and do not make mistakes and be used by people with intentions. ”
Concubine Huan bowed again and said, "Thank you sister for your teachings, Shuang'er will retire first." ”
After she left, Lan Yan's figure flashed out silently from behind the red pillar on one side, and said, "Niangniang, it seems that this Shen family sister has a handle that is pinched in the hands of the Middle Palace." ”
Hua Guifei instructed: "Go and find out what kind of deal was made between the queen and Shen Rushuang." ”
Lan Yan responded: "The slave will do it immediately." In addition, Wuyan came to report just now and saw Fangyi leading people to Dexi Palace, should we also insert people over? ”
Hua Guifei said: "Don't worry, let the people from Jingyang Palace go over and show their faces first." ”
Lan Yan smiled: "Yes, Niangniang." ”
