Chapter 008: The Bloody Case of the Deep Palace (Part II)
What Ju'er didn't expect was that meeting the saint would be in this way. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe would-be concubines who were selected for the harem knelt neatly in the main hall, silent, like prisoners being interrogated.
Emperor Wei Wendi, who was sitting on the dragon chair, recognized Zhu'er at a glance, reunited after farewell, and said goodbye to the beauty, and he couldn't wait to hold the slender hand of the beauty at this time and pour out his heart. Or, now preside over the concubine selection ceremony and see the beauty style. But it happened that such a bloody case happened, which is really disappointing.
"Are you all here?"
The eunuch responded: "Back to Your Majesty, the eldest princess of Rouran, Yu Jiulu, has not arrived, and has already sent someone to invite her!" ”
"What kind of system, if today is the ceremony of choosing a concubine, will she come so late? Don't you take me seriously? Emperor Wei Wen's face was furious.
Emperor Wei Wendi's most taboo is that there is a bloody case in the harem, and the tragic death of Empress Yifu will always be an indelible pain in his memory.
"It's the minion's dereliction of duty, and the minion personally went to invite the eldest princess!"
"No need, the murder weapon short knife is presented to me!"
The little eunuch was holding a tray, and in the tray was the bloodstained short knife, which was shady, and it made this already very cold harem add another grievance, and Emperor Wei Wen shivered.
The clear voice of the little eunuch came from outside the hall: "The eldest princess has arrived!" ”
Everyone looked back at the outside of the hall, and under the guidance of the little eunuch, Yu Jiulu's makeup was even more glamorous than yesterday's, obviously dressed up carefully before coming. Compared with everyone's unkempt plain face, Yu Jiulu is graceful. What's even more different from yesterday is that behind Yu Jiulu, there is a maid who has never been seen before.
"No one else has ever dressed up, but she is so carefully prepared, it is intentional! Sure enough, it's unpredictable! Someone whispered.
Yu Jiulu walked to the front of the hall and bowed: "Rouran eldest princess Yu Jiulu, on behalf of Rouran Khan Anaji, greet the Emperor of the Great Wei Emperor!" ”
Emperor Wei Wendi waved his hand: "Excuse me, say hello to your father Rouran Khan!" ”
Sister Xian stood up very unconvinced: "Yu Jiulu, you are too arrogant, why don't you kneel when you see my Great Wei Tianzi?" ”
Sister Hui was very anxious and tugged at Sister Xian's clothes: "Sister, shut up!" ”
The maid beside Yu Jiulu said arrogantly: "My master is the eldest princess of the Great Khan of Rouran, and she meets with diplomatic etiquette, and she is not like a subject of the Great Wei, so naturally you don't have to kneel!" ”
"You are now the same as us, you are the concubine chosen by His Majesty, that is, the concubine of the Emperor of Great Wei, you must kneel!"
"My master is here to be the queen, not to be a concubine, if I can't be the queen, I naturally want to go back to Rouran, how can I be the concubine of the Son of Heaven?"
Sister Xian was forced speechless by the arrogance of the maid, and knelt back unconvinced, Sister Hui complained very worriedly: "Sooner or later, one day, our family will be killed by you, Rouran Khan and Otsuka Zai, we can't afford to offend!" ”
Sister Xian was angry: "I just can't get used to her arrogance!" ”
Emperor Wei Wen was magnanimous: "If you don't kneel, you won't kneel, the eldest princess of Enzhun Rouran stood and spoke." ”
The maid sneered twice: "Your Majesty, isn't this the hospitality of Great Wei?" Let the foreign envoys who came all the way to Great Wei stand and speak, is it contempt that I am not as soft as Great Wei? On the day when my master returns to Rouran, if he returns this matter to his father Khan truthfully, I don't know what his old man will think! Since the last time I met the Son of Heaven in the downtown of Chang'an, my master fell off his horse and couldn't stand for a long time. ”
Emperor Wei Wendi frowned, the envoy came to visit, and he never gave the gift of sitting, and in the tone of this maid, it was obviously threatening. If he sits, but loses to this princess Rouran in terms of momentum, won't he take him as the emperor in his eyes in the future harem affairs? Besides, now that the murder of the woman in blue is being interrogated, Yu Jiulu is a suspect again, how can there be a reason for the suspect to stand and reply?
Not kneeling to the Son of Heaven is the maid's idea, I want to rely on the majesty of Rouran Khan and Otsuka Zai, give Emperor Wei Wen a dismount, and avenge the humiliation of being pulled off the horse by Emperor Wei Wen in the Chang'an market that day, but also to show himself in front of other quasi-concubines, in short, I still think that the puppet emperor is weak and easy to bully.
Zhu'er saw that Emperor Wei Wendi's face was embarrassed, and stood up with all her might: "Your Majesty, the concubine has something to say!" ”
Ju'er has been kneeling below her chin, and when she got up, Emperor Wei Wendi saw her appearance clearly, Zhu'er without makeup, like the rain lotus in midsummer, and her lips were slightly red like the lotus petals. Emperor Wei Wendi was happy in his heart, Ju'er saw his embarrassment, and thought again that the reason why Yu Jiulu was here was because the old thief of Quanchen Yuwentai targeted Ju'er. If Ju'er helps him out of the siege at this time, it will inevitably make the old thief Yuwen remember.
Emperor Wei Wen sighed: "You don't have to say, I ......"
"The concubine wants to ask her father-in-law, have you seen this maid beside Princess Rouran?" Ju'er still snatched Emperor Wei's words.
The eunuch looked at the maid carefully: "I haven't seen it, it's not a maid in the palace!" ”
"Have you ever seen this maid enter the palace with the eldest princess yesterday?"
The eunuch thought carefully: "I have never seen it! I haven't seen this maid since I went to bed last night. is neither a maid in the palace, nor is it the eldest princess's maid, is it a private entry into the palace? Come on, take this girl down! ”
The guards outside entered the hall, Yu Jiulu and the maid panicked, and Yu Jiulu stopped: "Wait!" Breaking into the palace without permission should naturally be handed over to the father-in-law. Now I am a messenger, and the maid is my messenger's retinue, and when I am relieved of my status as a messenger, I will be handed over to my father-in-law at that time. ”
Ju'er stepped forward and gave Yu Jiulu a blessing gift: "Since the eldest princess is a messenger of Rouran, can she have a letter of Rouran, and can she have something to pay tribute?" ”
Yu Jiulu was speechless.
"If there is no national letter and no tribute, what is a messenger? Since you are not a messenger of Rouran, why did you enter the palace, why did you come to my Great Wei court, could it be that you also trespassed into the palace? ”
Yu Jiulu still wanted to speak, but was pulled by the maid, and the maid whispered to Yu Jiulu: "Princess, remember what the master ordered, Zhu'er Bingxue is smart, Wendou, you are not her opponent, you must not be led by her nose!" I'll deal with her! ”
The maid turned to Ju'er and said: "Even if my princess is not a messenger, she is also the righteous daughter of Otsuka Zai Yuwentai, and yesterday it was Otsuka Zai who sent my young lady into the palace to choose a concubine, don't you know?" ”
The maid originally thought that everyone was afraid of Yuwentai's majesty, so they didn't dare to ask again.
"The one standing in front of us, is it Princess Rouran, or is it the righteous daughter of Otsuka Zai? If it is Princess Rouran, she can be expelled from the palace for the crime of pretending to be an envoy and trespassing into the palace. If it is the righteous daughter of Otsuka, she is here to choose a concubine, and she is my subject of Great Wei. Whether to kneel or sit, let the eldest princess decide for herself! Your Majesty, the concubine's words are over! Jull fell to her knees again.
Emperor Wei Wendi was overjoyed, he only saw Xiao Jialuo's cleverness and boldness in the market that day, and now he has seen Zhu'er's intelligence and wit, Duguxin is really a goddaughter.
Emperor Wei Wendi asked Yu Jiulu: "Eldest princess, I ask you, are you the envoy of Rouran, or the righteous daughter of Yuwentai?" ”
Yu Jiulu didn't know how to answer, looked at the maid, and the maid knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty forgives you!" ”
Yu Jiulu understood, so he had to kneel: "The concubine just offended Long Yan, I hope Your Majesty will forgive me!" ”
Emperor Wei Wendi laughed: "Haha, good, good!" I forgive you for your ignorance! "Emperor Wei Wen is really unprecedentedly happy, since he ascended the throne, he has been pressed by the old thief Yuwen and can't breathe. Even if it is a cat or a dog, as long as he says that his master is Yuwentai, he can show off his might in front of Emperor Wei Wen.
Emperor Wei Wen looked at Ju'er with loving eyes, and silently swore an oath: "I must make you the queen, with such a virtuous queen as my right-hand man, I will be able to regain the ancestral country from the hands of the Yuwen clan and restore the Great Wei!" ”
Emperor Wei Wen calmed down a little, and asked the little eunuch to bring the plate to Yu Jiulu: "Eldest princess, do you know this knife?" ”
