This year's autumn is colder than usual, and the Empress Dowager Su is worried about the cold in the morning and dusk, and if the fireplace heating is turned on now, it will increase additional expenses. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoFireplaces are connected, it is impossible to have one room and not another.
was worried, Yan Shu sent charcoal in the snow.
Mother Qiu skillfully lit the fire, and the heating in the copper-covered carved furnace came out, and the inner hall of Qiongyun Palace was suddenly as warm as three springs.
Empress Dowager Su was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth, "This good thing has been in the palace for two years and I don't know how to use it, it's a shame that you thought of taking it out at this time." ”
Yan Shuqiao smiled silently, her eyes staring at the sparkling sparks flying in the copper furnace. Today, she deliberately dressed up, wearing Murong Chong's favorite cherry pink brocade, with a silver silk jade string hanging from her waist.
Empress Dowager Su looked up and down several times as if she was looking at Yan Shu for the first time. Although Yan Shu didn't look at her, her face was pink with her gaze.
Yan Shu moved her foot to the side of the chair, and the silver satin boots on her feet were half exposed, and when Empress Dowager Su saw it, she praised it, "These satin boots don't look like the craftsmanship in the Great Hidden Palace, you brought them from Nanyan?" ”
Yan Shu nodded, "If the queen mother likes it, the concubine will help the queen mother make a pair." ”
"You can make satin boots? Chong'er likes silver satin boots the most, if you have time, make him a pair. ”
Empress Dowager Su smiled, take a closer look now, although Yan Shu is not as beautiful and bright as Tianjiao, but she is delicate and lovely.
Murong Chong said that there is only one person in the harem, how can there be a man who doesn't like beauties! Empress Dowager Su didn't promise him, let alone let Tianjiao be the queen.
Yesterday afternoon, she heard rumors, Tianjiao has been missing for three years, and it doesn't count how many more brothers she has when she returns to the palace, and she still takes one with her when she returns to the palace, and two secretly go out of the palace, unclear ......
If this kind of thing is said to Murong Chong, it will definitely arouse his disgust. Empress Dowager Su knew her son's temper too well, and only by getting real evidence could Murong Chong completely break off his thoughts about Tianjiao.
Now is not the time to make a fuss, Empress Dowager Su is waiting for the opportunity. Yesterday, I first gave Tianjiao a box of Ejiao to stabilize her, and then instigated the old minister to go to Murong Chong to participate in the book. Empress Dowager Su meant to remind Murong Chong first that a woman with an innocent net worth could not stay in the palace at all, let alone let such a woman become a queen.
The son's wings were stiff, and he didn't discuss anything with her, just notified. To put it lightly, is the matter of the harem so easy to summon!
The more Empress Dowager Su thought about it, the deeper the smile on her face, and when she saw that Yan Shu was shyly about making a pair of silver satin boots for Murong Chong, she happily grabbed Yan Shu's hand, "That's right, the king's women have to care more about the king's needs, and they can't just care about what they get from the king." ”
"The concubine didn't."
"Not about you!" Empress Dowager Su patted Yan Shu's hand. It can be seen that Yan Shu's expression and demeanor are still that of a boudoir woman, and she has no personnel. Empress Dowager Su leaned over her ear and said a few words, and Yan Shu's face suddenly turned red.
"I think you are my daughter-in-law, the king's woman, you just have to do it, who dares to make irresponsible remarks!" Empress Dowager Su raised Yan Shu's shy face, "Remember, there is no cat in the world that does not eat fish, and there is no man who sits in front of a beauty." He is a king, but also a man. With my back, you can just let it go. ”
Yan Shu hurriedly knelt on the ground to thank her.
"Auntie." Su Jinyun called softly at the door.
"Greetings to my aunt!" Su Jinyun saw the salute, and nodded at Yanshu as a greeting.
Yan Shu hesitated for a moment, then followed Murong Chong's salutation and called Su Jinyun a sister, "In the morning, the wind and frost are heavy, and my sister is weak, so it is inconvenient to come out and walk around." ”
Su Jinyun smiled bitterly and did not answer. Empress Dowager Su pulled her to sit next to the copper furnace, took her hand and probed into the copper furnace, "Look at your hand is cold, hurry up and warm up." This copper furnace was just sent by Concubine Yan, and I was about to ask someone to invite you over. From now on rest in my inner sanctum, and I will be at ease in my presence. ”
Su Jinyun frowned, and said indifferently that she was not afraid of the cold, and she was used to living alone, and she didn't want to disturb her aunt.
Empress Dowager Su was inconvenient to force, so she had to give up.
Su Jinyun sat for a while and got up to say goodbye. "I'll go see my cousin, when will his leg heal so I can rest assured."
"Don't be in a hurry, he's only been back in the palace for a few days, and he's been up late late. It's not too late for you to see him later, and I'm here to talk to me. ”
A trace of sadness slipped through Yan Shu's eyes, thinking that Murong Chong got up late, stayed in the East Palace, and didn't sleep all night in the East Palace, and was reluctant to get up when he stayed in the Middle Palace......
Su Jinyun had no choice but to sit down again and watch Mother Qiu fiddle with the frost charcoal balls in the copper furnace.
"The king, Princess Mu has arrived!" Outside the door. Empress Dowager Su showed surprise and looked towards the door.
Murong Chong held Tianjiao's shoulder and walked in slowly. The two wore court clothes to greet the Empress Dowager Su. Empress Dowager Su was taken aback by their grand dress, "What's the matter?" ”
Murong Chong's expression was solemn, he glanced at the copper-covered carving furnace, and his eyes moved coldly to Yan Shu, "Do you want to explain this copper-covered carving furnace to this king?" ”
After the Empress Dowager Su, Murong Chong also took a fancy to the copper furnace, and said with a smile: "This is indeed a good thing, I don't know if there is anything left in the treasure house, it is all something that Wang Er received into the palace when he conquered the Northern Yan Kingdom, I didn't know that it was useful......"
Murong Chong interrupted Empress Dowager Su's words, and looked directly into Yan Shu's eyes like a torch, "This king is going to punish you today, do you accept it or not?" ”
"What the king said, the concubine doesn't understand." Yan Shu was worried in her heart, she didn't know what handle Murong Chong had taken from her, and her face pretended to be calm. When she looked at Murong Chong's good-looking eyes, she remembered the charm technique that Empress Dowager Su taught her, and she couldn't help but show a little shyness on the side.
"Kneel, you added foreign objects to the frost charcoal ball, in a vain attempt to harm Princess Mu. Do you plead guilty or not? Murong Chong didn't want to look at Yan Shu anymore at this time, if her ignorant appearance was to make a scene, he really wanted to slap her to death.
"There are no concubines, the concubines don't know what the king said, and the concubines are wronged." Yan Shu knelt on the ground and bit her lip and said in a trembling voice, as if she was extremely frightened. She was indeed frightened, not because of the incriminating evidence that Murong Chong said, but how did Murong Chong find out that she had added ingredients to the Silver Frost Ball?
"Alas! Wang'er, what is this doing? Empress Dowager Su pulled Yanshu up.
"What happened to my cousin? Are the frost charcoal balls those things in the copper furnace? Any questions? Good sister, what the hell is going on? Su Jinyun saw that Murong didn't answer her, so he took Tianjiao's hand and asked.
"Last night, the king noticed a strange fragrance, and called the imperial doctor to identify it, and found musk and safflower shavings in the frost charcoal ball of the copper furnace."
Empress Dowager Su took Yan Shu's hand and shook it, she was too familiar with musk and safflower, and she didn't know how skillful she used it back then...... She let go of Yan Shu's hand and looked at her in surprise.
Yan Shu hurriedly knelt on the ground, "The concubine really doesn't know anything, the concubine just sent someone to send the copper furnace over, and she never touched the stove, why did she rely on the concubine's head?" If there is a problem with the frost charcoal ball, then the Queen Mother here should also take a look. ”
"Still quibbling! It seems that you won't tell the truth without punishment. Murong Chong clapped his hands and called Liu Yong in, "Bring Yan Shu to the Zongmiao, you must find out." ”
"The concubine was wronged!" Yan Shu was scared, and her whole body trembled like chaff.
"Concubine Yan Niangniang was wronged, it was accidentally made by the slave maid, begging the king to let Concubine Yan Niangniang go." Mother Qiu dragged Yanshu, her eyes full of tears.
Yan Shu's eyes widened in surprise, and she couldn't believe it, and tears instantly welled up in her eyes and she sobbed.
"If you don't hurry up and drag this slave out, you almost hurt your master by carelessness." Empress Dowager Su kicked Mother Qiu in disgust. Without waiting for Murong Chong to speak, she called the deacon in her inner hall to drag Mother Qiu out of the hall.
