Chapter Seventy-Three: The Emperor's Love Is Hard to Last

The imperial concubine lifted the ban, but the queen was grounded instead.

It seems that as soon as this matter spread, both the previous dynasty and the harem set off earth-shattering waves, and in just such a month, the imperial concubine could be turned over again, and some wall grasses began to slowly move closer to the Ling family's forces. The emperor ordered Ling Xueyan to be the general of the expedition to the west and led his troops to pacify Yongzhou, and the rebellion in Yongzhou was suppressed in only ten days.

The emperor was very pleased, and ordered the imperial concubine to hold a banquet in Zhanghuatai to catch the wind for his brother. After receiving such a will, the imperial concubine was not surprised, but said lightly: "This is very good." ”

The emperor looked at the imperial concubine's obedient appearance, gentle as water, obedient and generous, but there was a lack of grace and comfort between his eyebrows, and he felt sorry in his heart, and couldn't help but comfort: "Now that the queen is grounded, if there is anything to do with the imperial concubine, you can come to me at any time." ”

The imperial concubine respectfully blessed her body: "The concubine retired." ”

The emperor stretched out his hand to touch the smooth and lovely face, but did not notice that the man had turned away from him.

Perhaps, she hated herself.

Maybe she didn't realize what she was trying to do, and the more calm she was, the more painful her heart became. The emperor clenched his fists, slowly sat in front of the imperial case, carefully flipped through these folds, read a few copies but put them down, with an expression of chagrin: "I despised the Lin family, and I actually bit out such a thing of old sesame seeds and rotten grain." ”

Gonggong Lu came in and put a bowl of snow lotus seed soup on the imperial case: "The emperor will rest for a while, which master will be summoned to sleep tonight?" ”

The emperor was worried at this time, how could he have the heart to summon, waved his hand, and motioned to Gonggong Lu to step forward: "You go and call Huaxin over, I have something to tell her." ”

Gonggong Lu was stunned and smiled slightly: "The emperor forgot, Huaxin went to Lingfu today, and today is the death day of the old lady." ”

The emperor lost his mind slightly: "The painting heart has been with me for 20 years." ”

Gonggong Lu nodded: "The emperor should also order the minions." ”

The emperor sighed: "I, let's go to Zhanghuatai to see the imperial concubine, you are waiting here." ”

Father-in-law Lu promised.

Zhanghuatai is different from other places, but because its architectural style tends to be dignified and magnificent, it is a school of its own, there is an orchid pond for viewing, and a stage can be set up on the orchid pond, so most of the people living here are some servants. Since the beginning of this dynasty, the emperor was not interested in opera, so only some high-ranking concubines held banquets here. can be invited to a banquet here, it can be said that in addition to the queen, there is only the imperial concubine in the palace.

Thinking of what happened at the queen's birthday banquet that year, it was like a lifetime away. Looking at the grass and trees of this Zhanghuatai, she seemed to have returned to the past.

Scarlet Chun held her arm, and followed suit: "Master, slow down." ”

The imperial concubine smiled faintly and said: "Such a place, as if I haven't been here for a long time, I think it's also the laziness of the palace, and I forgot that there is this unusual place." ”

Scarlet Chun felt the warmth of the spring breeze, with joy: "Niangniang didn't forget that you are already in charge of the affairs of the Six Palaces, and the emperor probably wants to give the imperial concubine what he wants." ”

Hearing this, the imperial concubine sneered: "What do you know, carefully your mouth, it looks like a wooden one, but this mouth has so many words, this is Zhang Huatai, there are many people, don't make trouble for the palace." ”

Scarlet Chun nodded: "The slave knows." ”

The imperial concubine smiled slowly: "If you change the Japanese Palace, you should also make a post and invite a few sisters to come together, so that there will be excitement in front of the emperor." ”

Scarlet Chun didn't understand what the imperial concubine said, but she didn't ask any more questions.

The emperor watched the imperial concubine farther and farther away from afar, the figure was engraved on his heart, like a deep wound, thinking of that booklet, the emperor's heart tightened, and the truth that he couldn't find out would be grasped by a little imperial doctor, which was really ridiculous.

Jing Shuyi was so excited when she got the news that the imperial concubine had lifted the ban, and asked people to send some good ginseng and ganoderma lucidum or something, but the imperial concubine still accepted it like before.

Jing Shuyi looked at the emaciated appearance of the imperial concubine and felt a little distressed: "My sister has suffered recently. This face is a whole circle smaller, which is really distressing to watch. ”

The imperial concubine looked at Jing Shuyi, and her eyes flashed with a different feeling: "Sister, this palace knows, it must be you who interceded for this palace in front of the emperor." In fact, you don't have to be like this, but it will cause the emperor's disgust, and it will be bad for your sister and the eldest princess. ”

Jing Shuyi held the hand of the imperial concubine, shook her head and said: "My sister has a life-saving kindness to my sister, if it weren't for my sister, the eldest princess and my sister probably don't know how many sins they would have to suffer, so my sister doesn't have to worry about it." ”

The imperial concubine said lightly: "Actually, the palace wants to leave this place as soon as possible, and apply to leave the palace to pray for the queen mother like the Yuan Emperor Guifei, but did you think that the emperor has no such intention, what can my sister do?" ”

Jing Shuyi was shocked when she heard this: "Why did my sister do this?" The emperor banned the queen not because the queen was immoral, but because the queen violated the emperor's taboo, not to mention, the reason why my sister lifted the ban was because my sister told Concubine Mei a secret, and Concubine Mei Shufei had been investigating the cause of the death of the Empress Dowager Xianling, and her sister told her that it was because of the queen, and the queen killed the Empress Dowager Xianling. Unexpectedly, Concubine Mei also believed it. ”

The imperial concubine looked at Jing Shuyi, and the corners of her lips showed a little worry: "My sister deceived Concubine Mei?" ”

Jing Shuyi couldn't deny it, raised her eyebrows and said: "The spices in Ning Guiyi's palace were indeed given by the queen, but they are different from the spices that killed the Empress Dowager Xianling, so my sister doesn't know if the queen is really involved in this matter." The imperial concubine looked at Jing Shuyi and said quietly: "This time, you and Sister Yao have been affected, and you will definitely hold a banquet for the two sisters in the Zhanghuatai Palace another day." ”

"Sister, do you know that Xin Wanrong went to form an alliance with Yao Concubine for the sake of Yue Wanrong, but she was rejected." Jing Shuyi said lightly, "Maybe my sister doesn't know yet, but in the end, it was Ning Guiyi who interceded for Yue Wanrong, and finally she was spared Yue Wanrong's grounding." ”

The imperial concubine smiled mockingly, with contempt in her eyes: "The emperor is the emperor, he can keep talking about love with a woman, but he can turn around and have an affair with another woman." When you've had enough, you throw it away, it's really ruthless. ”

Jing Shuyi saw what she said arrogantly, but she didn't know how to refute it, so she could only say: "Sister, the emperor is not what you imagined, the emperor has a hard time." ”

The imperial concubine knew that she had said too much, and smiled self-deprecatingly: "The palace knows what it is talking about, but all the emperors of the past dynasties, which one is not like this, it may be because of the phoenix fate in the palace that the emperor ordered the eldest princess to marry Xiao Yi." Until now, the palace didn't know whether to hate the emperor or resent the emperor about this matter. ”

Jing Shuyi saw her desolate expression, and couldn't help but feel sad: "My sister is too self-blaming, it's not early, the eldest princess should also get out of school, and my sister will retire." ”

Seeing that she was determined to leave, the imperial concubine looked indifferent: "Sister let's go." ”

Jing Shuyi watched her slowly restrain her expression, and then she was relieved and retired.
