Chapter 146: Zheng Wan's Scheming (2)
Coming out of Yongshou Palace, Shi Shuyi was afraid of the queen's questioning, so he hurriedly bypassed the topic, frowned and said: "Yesterday, the concubine had a nightmare again, and I always dreamed that a fierce-looking person flew around the concubine's body, the face of the evil god was like blue indigo, the hair was like cinnabar, and the blood-red lips were fangs, which was too vicious, and the concubine was very afraid, and she really didn't dare to sleep today." ”
Liu Menglu's footsteps were paused, so impatient, he couldn't open his mouth to ask if he was so afraid, and said lightly: "Why do you always have such a fierce dream, tomorrow I will go to Jinyin Temple to give the Buddha a pillar of incense." ”
Shi Shuyi smiled again and said, "The concubine will go tomorrow." ”
Liu Menglu suddenly sighed, and couldn't help but feel bitter. Shi Shuyi didn't know why she hurriedly asked the reason: "Why is the queen so sad?" Liu Menglu walked with broken steps, didn't feel that she had slowed down again, and sighed: "It took time to get this feast, but it didn't fall as well as a lantern riddle of the concubine, and the dragon hairpin as a reward, does it imply anything?" ”
After that, Liu Menglu stopped, feeling uneasy, Shi Shuyi stepped forward to help Liu Menglu, the two continued to walk, Shi Shuyi said, "Everyone knows that the queen mother is the first emperor and queen, but there is no concubine's holy favor, it is inevitable that she will prefer sad verses, and she was enchanted for a while, so she gave the dragon hairpin away." You are like the queen mother of the day, the concubine is the concubine Rong of the day, even if the emperor cares about her, she can't escape fate, and the queen mother is the last person to laugh. ”
Compared with this, Liu Menglu's heart is much more comfortable, and Shi Shuyi's sycophancy can be regarded as a point, Liu Menglu smiled, and then put away her smile again. added a little bit of vigor and said, "In my spare time, I also work hard and have more books, and I can't let the concubine take care of it alone." ”
Su Mu couldn't help but be sarcastic. is such a person who cannot surpass herself in this life, but he took the life in her womb.
Even if Shi Shuyi is studying for ten years, he can't compete with the person who carries 5,000 years of cultural heritage (in the previous chapter, Su Mu heard the Queen Mother's preference for sesame oil in the mouth of Mama Ju. borrowed the lantern riddles in "Dream of Red Mansions" and blamed Liu Menglu). Su Mu listened to the conversation between the two clearly after a long time, the queen mother intended to avoid the emperor's wedding date, but she didn't want Liu Menglu to do everything possible to set up a banquet to accompany the queen mother to celebrate the festival, it was said that it was also a filial piety move, but he invited the emperor back, but it seemed that Su Fu had taken the face of the queen mother. Liu Menglu is heartfelt.
Su Mu walked a few steps quickly and walked around to the front of Liu Menglu and Shi Shuyi, gently saluting, and his movements and demeanor were extremely elegant.
Su Mu drank a few glasses less during the banquet. At this moment, his cheeks were pink with peach blossoms, and he was even more envious of the two of them with a smile, Su Mu smiled slightly, "Queen Mother Yi'an"
Liu Menglu couldn't help but gasp the air, the tendons on her neck twitched obviously, that is, the earlier embarrassment was gone, and some were all hostile, and she was even more angry when she saw Su Mu's hairpin, but she could also ask lightly: "This big night." You're the only one by your side? But the concubine has the guts. ”
Su Mu glanced at Shi Shuyi and sneered, "Don't do bad things during the day, and you won't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door at night, so the concubines are not afraid." I heard that Shi promised to be awakened by nightmares recently, and I don't know what bad luck I had, but it's not a big deal. It's not the crime of the nine clans such as poisoning and killing people, it's good to go to the Jinyin Temple to recite the scriptures. ”
Shi Shuyi left beads of sweat on his forehead. The pores of his face seemed to be open, and his cheeks twitched. Even his legs trembled, as if he was stunned. The scriptures are still there, and they are the most deadly, why do they mention the nine tribes? Shi Shuyi was very afraid in his heart, so he was stupid. I can't come back to my senses.
Liu Menglu saw Shi Shuyi's magnificence, glared at Su Mu, and said loudly: "How can there be ghosts and gods in the world?" I'm afraid that someone is deliberately pretending to be a ghost. Although the emperor has given you the right to associate with the six palaces, I hope you will also be more restrained, the life of the palace maid is also the life of the palace, how can you be executed casually? Bengong remembered that you had just lost your child, so I didn't care about Qiu Rong's death with you. Or converge a little after this. The palace is still in charge of the main palace. ”
Su Mu pushed the hairpin between the hairpins, and said slowly: "The queen mother is reminding me that she secretly drugged me and was instructed by someone?" Should I find the culprit? ”
Liu Menglu's lips turned blue in a hurry, and said, "Since you forgave her and escorted her to the Criminal Division, you took her life, why bother?" ”
Su Mu laughed out loud and looked at Liu Menglu seriously, "So the queen mother knows about Qiu Rong's druggedness?" Liu Menglu's body couldn't help shaking, her lips and teeth moved, she was about to defend something, but she instantly changed her mind and said in a voice: "I saw that the virtuous concubine was on the same road with the emperor in this palace, and it was so intimate, isn't the concubine in a hurry to accompany the emperor?" ”
When he heard Hongren's name, Su Mu's eyes flickered.
Although I really wanted to see Hirohito, I always felt that there was one reason missing.
Gong Ling reminded on the side: "Master, didn't you just say that you want to go to the emperor to ask for a painting?" Su Muxinnian forgot about this matter, hurriedly said goodbye to Liu Menglu and went to Qianqing Palace.
When he arrived at the Qianqing Palace, Su Mu saw Aunt Ruo Yu leading the two palace maids to carry delicate pastries and fruits into it, and when Aunt Ruo Yu came out of it, she happened to bump into Su Mu. was busy asking Su Mu for his well-being, and blessed Su Fu and Lan Qier's marriage. But there was a clear panic on his face when he spoke. Su Mu was a little puzzled, and helped Aunt Ruo Yu, who was giving a gift, to get up.
Su Mu took a look at the statue and the hall, and saw that the lights inside were bright and quiet, and asked, "The emperor still eats these desserts so late?" to not like the emperor's style. Aunt Ruo Yu was a little hesitant, but still replied with a smile: "It was all ordered by Zhang Ningye and Zhang's father-in-law, and the slave maid just did it." ”
Su Mu smiled slightly, and always felt that something was wrong? Aunt Ruo Yu opened her mouth and said, "If the master doesn't have any orders, the slave and maid will retire first." ”
Su Mu nodded and said, "If Aunt Yu is busy with errands, I will find Father-in-law Zhang to pass it on." ”
Aunt Ruo Yu involuntarily glanced at the body and hall and retreated, Su Mu remembered in a trance that it was the virtuous concubine inside, how could she forget, the other Su Mu didn't think much about it, walked up the stone steps, and saw that it was Xiao Dengzi who was on duty outside.
Gong Ling stepped forward and said softly, "I'm tired, you can spread the word for my master." ”
Xiao Dengzi is also a kind person. At the moment, he was scratching his head and didn't know how to say it, Gong Ling quietly glanced at the young lady when he saw this, and saw Su Mu calmly and smiled: "Is there anything unspeakable about Gonggong Deng?" What might as well be straightforward? ”
Xiao Dengzi sighed, and didn't know how to say. Thinking about it, he said: "It's better to ask Master Yuan to go back, the master of the virtuous concubine is in there at this time." ”
Gong Ling thought to herself: In the mouth of the queen, Miss has learned that the emperor is accompanied by a virtuous concubine, and it is not a special thing. It won't leave the young lady out of the air, and the emperor won't be angry during the day.
Su Mu walked over, and happened to meet Zhang Ningye coming out inside, Zhang Ningye closed the door, turned around and saw Su Mu, and immediately asked if he was okay. Su Muyan didn't need to be polite, and asked, "Is it inconvenient for the emperor to summon others at this moment?" ”
Zhang Ningye smiled hesitantly, pointed to the front and said, "Please also ask Master Yuan to take a step to speak." Su Mu followed Zhang Ningye to the bottom of the stone steps and landed under the stilt palace lamp, Zhang Ningye said: "At this moment, the cousin of the virtuous concubine is playing chess with the emperor, and the emperor is on the rise, and he said, no one is allowed to disturb him." ”
Su Mu didn't seem to hear Zhang Ningye's words clearly, frowned, and asked confirmatively, "Cousin of the virtuous concubine?" ”…… He asked again: "Yes, Zheng Fu's daughter?" Zheng Wan? Zhang Ningye replied: "Master Yuan is right, she is really the youngest daughter of Zheng Yingjie, a bachelor in charge of the Guozi Prison, and Master Yuan may have seen this person when he studied in the Guozi Prison." ”
Su Mu's memory suddenly pulled back to the time when she was studying in Guozijian, and she remembered the first time she saw Zheng Wan, she was dressed elegantly and had aura in her eyes. I feel that she is unworldly, but she has a rare sense of maturity of a girl, and she lacks the liveliness that a girl should have. At that time, she was with Shi Shuyi, and Zheng Wan in her impression was the kind of person who looked down on the powerful, even if she went into the palace with Shi Shuyi to accompany the Queen Mother, she didn't take this opportunity to stay in the palace, why did she play with Hongren in the Qianqing Palace and Hall at this moment? Everyone knows that Hong is benevolent and loves the game, and has a deep study of Go, so people have to be suspicious of Zheng Wan's thoughts?
Su Mu suddenly felt unhappy in his heart, and he had to go in to find out why Zheng Wan appeared in the palace so late.
Even if a strange woman appeared in the palace, Su Mu was still relieved of Hongren. But when I thought that the man was amorous in his bones, he felt a little stuffy in his heart, and said: "Although the emperor said that he was not allowed to disturb, he still asked Gonggong Zhang to pass it on to me, and said that I had something important to say." ”
Zhang Ningye hesitated slightly, but he didn't want to disobey Su Mu's intentions, turned around and walked into the body and hall, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the master of the Yuan is asking to see you, and he is waiting outside at the moment." ”
Hongren was watching Zheng Wanbu's chess game and was engrossed, and when he heard Su Mu's name, he immediately became committed, but he didn't say anything.
The virtuous concubine said softly: "It seems to be windy outside, the emperor might as well call the master in first." ”
Hongren picked up a sunspot in his hand, played with it in the palm of his hand, and said softly: "It's so late, tell her to go back and rest early." Zheng Wan said lightly: "If the emperor doesn't concentrate on falling into the army, he will lose!" Hongren has never met an opponent in the game, and when he saw Zheng Wan and a little woman actually speaking wildly, he couldn't help but feel novelty and laughed, that smile had an intoxicating charm, and Zheng Wan didn't feel that her cheeks were crimson.
Seeing the situation, Zhang Ningye had no choice but to retreat and go out and wait outside.
The wind in the evening, as soon as it was spoken, was blowing for a while, the slightest coolness, Shi Shuyi didn't care about tightening the mink Qiu and hurriedly said: "Queen Mother, why did you push Su Mu to the emperor's side with one shot?" The concubine is stupid."
Liu Menglu said angrily: "It's that she Su Mu is not by the emperor's side, and the virtuous concubine is also there, besides, don't you see Su Mu's meaning, the intention is to lure her to tell the truth, step by step, it's hard to guarantee that that sentence made her catch the handle, it's better to avoid it temporarily, she hasn't been out of the sight of the queen mother, and it's always right to be careful." ”
Shi Shuyi understood, nodded and said, "Only the emperor can distract Su Mu's attention." (To be continued......)
