Chapter 284: Interview
It's a pity that the emperor's concession did not make the queen relent, but increased her arrogance even more. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet put on such a big play, just to punish Concubine Ren, but in the end, it was just a painless punishment, but fortunately, Concubine Ren still went out of the palace, which is still good news for the queen, far away from the palace walls, without the protection of the emperor, she wants to take her life, it is simply easy.
The queen thought so and did so, but the result was beyond his expectations.
The Jingyun Nunnery is like an iron wall, and every time the people sent to assassinate him, none of them came back alive, and the people who infiltrated the Jingyun Nunnery with the intention of approaching Ren Concubine to take the opportunity to attack him died quietly after a few days, which made the queen shocked and angry.
Surprised, there is such strict protection around Concubine Ren, if it is the emperor's power, it will be fine, but if it is the side, then she should be careful, if such a force that can confront her is in the harem, it will be difficult to keep it for a day, and the position of the middle palace will not change hands.
After all, the emperor's love for Concubine Ren is obvious to all, and she can't give birth to a dragon heir, neither can Concubine Ren, she can be the queen, and Concubine Ren can naturally too.
More yet, more often than not, is anger.
The queen felt that in Dayong, it was too easy for a small concubine to take her life, but unfortunately, such an easy thing actually hit a wall everywhere, and it still couldn't be completed until this morning.
Concubine Ren is still in Jingyun Nunnery to worship the Buddha with peace of mind, it is difficult for external objects to move her mind, she is not in a hurry or impatient, on the other hand, the queen is already a little out of proportion.
Early this morning, the emperor finally issued an order, three days later, he would take Concubine Ren back to the palace, and the minister who went to pick him up was the new county lord who had a close relationship with Concubine Ren, the first of the hospital?
Naturally, the queen couldn't sit still.
Seeing that Liu Yan followed Su Qian and cautiously walked into Yiluo Palace, bowed down in front of her, and saluted respectfully, the queen suddenly smiled, "Get up, it's all your own family, why do you need so much courtesy, come, sit down, don't let Lord Hui get tired." ”
The queen's words were very polite, but Liu Yan was not very comfortable listening to them, looking at the whole Dayong, the queen in front of her, the woman who can be seen in the eye, I am afraid that there is only the eldest princess Rao Sha, even the queen mother, after all, the queen mother was not a concubine, and she was still one step away from the back position, even if she was the queen mother, she was also a concubine.
And the young lady of the Zhenguo family who has been cultivated as the queen since she was a child, how can she look down on the woman next to her, and only the eldest princess Rao Sha, who has favored the three dynasties, can let her look directly, and she doesn't put it in her eyes, even if the princess who is serious comes here, the queen will not be polite, but now, she treats Liu Yan, a cold man who has been sealed by the county lord halfway, so politely, naturally not from the heart.
"Thank you, Queen, for your mercy." Liu Yan didn't dare to have the slightest support, bowed her head, was respectful but not flattering, and had a modest attitude but not flattery, neither wanting the queen to find a way to punish herself, nor wanting the queen to feel that she was in a loss and afraid.
Liu Yan sat down slowly, looking at the food that had been cold on the table, her heart ached, and her stomach quietly protested as if she had to scream twice, but no one heard her.
The queen glanced at Liu Yan lightly, with a hint of disdain in her eyes, and slightly restrained her previous smile, but still tried her best to make her tone look less stiff, "The county lord saved the life of Ren Concubine's sister in the past, it seems that this friendship also started at that time, and it is difficult for the county lord to be framed by a traitor and put in the prison of the Criminal Department at that time, and suffered a lot of grievances, but Ren Concubine's sister worshiped the Buddha in Jingyun Nunnery, and she didn't even know the day when her life-saving benefactor was robbed, and she really had no distractions." “
The queen instructed the maid to take down the meal, it was already cold, how could she eat, so she simply drank a few sips of the water on the table, and had no mind to eat.
Hearing the queen's words, Liu Yan responded with a faint chuckle: "Concubine Ren Niangniang is a noble person in the palace, and the lower official just luckily entered the eyes of the queen mother and received the name of the county lord, but she has always repaid the favor and did not dare to be pampered in the slightest, and Concubine Ren was ordered to pray for the queen's mother, which is the duty of the concubine, and it is appropriate to have no distractions." “
Liu Yan's words cleverly explained the so-called "friendship" with Ren Concubine, what kind of character the queen is, and where would she not know that Liu Yan actually meant something, Liu Yan's move was not in a hurry to clear up the relationship with Ren Concubine, and modestly said that she did not dare to climb the nobles in the palace, so that the queen also knew in her heart, and the last words were undoubtedly flattering the queen is the position of the main palace, no one can shake it, although it is flattery, but it is just flattering, which makes people listen to it comfortably.
Sure enough, the next moment, the queen mother actually giggled, her white hand gently covered the corners of her mouth, and said with a smile: "The county lord doesn't have to be arrogant, in this palace, since the emperor recognizes your ability, he will naturally give you the opportunity to show your strength and prove yourself, and women can go further and further in the official career, but, as the saying goes, men are afraid of entering the wrong line, women are afraid of marrying the wrong man, and they are most afraid of standing on the wrong team and following the wrong person." ”
Now, the queen mentioned, she also planned to treat Liu Yan in a different way, otherwise, she would not have been so polite to her before, she also wanted to win over Liu Yan, after all, if Liu Yan is an ordinary woman with some appearance, it is just that, in this harem, women with beautiful and delicate faces abound, but a woman who has a good face and can justifiably participate in the government is the only one, and the harem woman is not allowed to interfere in politics, even if she is in the middle palace, she is not allowed to participate in the court at all.
But Liu Yan is different, she is a courtier, so she can't enter the harem, as long as she doesn't stand with Concubine Ren all the way, and she can't conflict with the queen, the queen can naturally give her everything she wants, including career power.
Liu Yan nodded: "The lesson of the mother is that Weichen must fulfill his duties, abide by the emperor's will, and dare not slack off in the slightest, so as to protect the emperor's kindness." ”
Hearing this, the queen smiled softly, her words had already been said so clearly, but Liu Yan had no intention of showing favor, but it didn't matter, as long as she didn't help Concubine Ren either.
"Three days later, I was ordered to go to Jingyun Nunnery to take over the concubine and return to the palace, it was really hard, I don't know, what kind of honor guard can the county lord think about?" The queen asked with a smile, she also deliberately made things difficult for Liu Yan, but she wanted to see how Liu Yan could be between Concubine Ren and her, and take care of each other.
