Chapter 24
Xue Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly, and then stretched out again: "Did you say what was the matter?" ”
Cheng Bei bent his waist lower: "I didn't say it, but I just looked like there was something unspeakable." ”
Jiang You now had a toothache when he saw Xue Yuan, and hurriedly said: "Since there is something wrong with the palm print, then hurry up and do it, I won't send it." ”
Xue Yuan turned his face away and looked at her with disgust: "No wonder people say that loyal ministers can't do it, but the ministers are disgusted for the sake of the emperor." ”
Jiang You covered his cheeks and hummed: "The palm print is love, where do I dislike you?" ”
Xue Yuan sighed with a smile, turned around and walked out of the door, Cheng Bei saw the East Palace, and then said: "It's not good for the emperor to hear about it, so I hid some of it, and I hope you will forgive me." ”
As he spoke, he raised his eyes to probe Xue Yuan's expression, he was a person who was indistinguishable from joy and anger, it was really a strange thing to be so obviously happy.
Xue Yuan looked at him when he heard this, and said lightly: "What did she say?" ”
Cheng Bei followed behind him and took a few steps: "I vaguely mentioned some words of gratitude, and openly and secretly mentioned the matter of going to Taimiao to guard filial piety." ”
At the beginning, there was a big case in Haining, and many children were also implicated because of the accident in their families, the boy was sent to the palace as a slave, and the girl was sent to Yunshao Mansion to be enrolled, and most people were annihilated in this deep palace.
Xu Meiren was favored by Xiaozong at the beginning, but she was favored for a while, but it was a pity that the freshness was lost after it passed, and among those people many years ago, only Xue Yuan was the only one who could always rise to the top.
Xue Yuan sighed: "Although the first emperor is gone, there is no favor to fight for, but when he goes to the Taimiao Temple to guard filial piety in a lonely and miserable manner, how can he be happier than in the imperial city?" ”
Cheng Bei looked at his face: "That's according to your meaning" Before he finished speaking, he raised his eyes and saw a thin shadow standing at the end of the road, standing gracefully in the long wind, the soft ribbon of clothes was blown up by the wind, and she gently pulled it back with a pair of plain hands.
Cheng Bei's eyes were a little straight, and the beauty at the end of the road called in a low voice: "Brother Ayuan" Seeing Xue Yuan's face sank, her lips trembled, and she hurriedly changed her words: "Overseer." ”
Xu Meiren's appearance is not top-notch in the harem where beauties are gathered, but she is better than her graceful temperament and fresh skin, no wonder she was able to be favored for a while.
Xue Yuan sighed: "The beauty is wrong, you are not a slave of Dongchang, why do you want to follow and call the overseer?" ”
Xu Meiren lowered her head and smiled bitterly, and the snow-white brocade shawl lined her slender neck: "I know that the factory is impatient to see me, but they are old people who grew up together, can't they even say a few words?" She sighed lowly: "Since you entered the palace, you seem to have changed as a person, and you are full of life. ”
Xue Yuan was alarmed in his heart, turned his head and looked behind him, with a curious look in his eyes, frowned, and followed her into the courtyard, but just stood under the shadow wall and said lightly: "What's the matter with the beauty?" ”
Xu Meiren seemed to be a little aggrieved, but she still went back to the house and made tea and handed it to him: "I know that the factory is very interested in me because of the gossip that was rumored a few years ago, but it wasn't from me, and besides, didn't you find out and deal with the people who spread the rumors?" I didn't get in your way, besides," she said, "Those people aren't all lies, what the hell am me and you," she blushed and hung her head.
Xue Yuan didn't take the tea, and said casually: "What's wrong with the beauty and our family?" You are the concubine of the first emperor, what can you do with our family? He remembered the past, and narrowed his eyes slightly, hiding the fierceness in his eyes.
Xu Meiren's heart tightened, the emotional card was the only big card in her hand, she raised her eyes to see Xue Yuan Junxiu's appearance a hundred times better than before, her body trembled, she suddenly bit her lip, with a desperate determination in her eyes, handed the tea in her hand to the palace maid on the side, and smiled at him: "Actually, it's not a difficult thing, according to the rules, after the emperor's death, he will choose a full number of concubines to go to the temple to guard the spirit, I also know that those people pick people from the low position and unfavored first, not enough to go up, I this point, It is ten out of ten to be dragged to the wake, and there is no sun in the temple all the year round, and it is a place where bones are buried" She reached out and wanted to pull him, and she mourned gracefully; "I'm afraid."
Xue Yuan tucked his sleeves, avoided her hand with this action, and said in an official voice: "Where did the beauty say, the Taimiao is sleeping with the heroic spirits of the emperors of the past dynasties, the real Son of Heaven, what is so terrible about the beauty?" ”
This is true, but she has only been in her teens this year, so is she going to spend her life in the Taimiao Temple with a few obsessive eunuchs and crazy grandmothers chanting scriptures and chanting Buddha?
Xu Meiren pursed her lips, seeing that his face was already impatient, she hurriedly dismissed her subordinates, took out the Tongxin Fang Sheng's yarn from her arms and handed it to him, and said with her head down: "I always wanted to give it to you back then, but I never found a chance, and then the family failed, and we couldn't help ourselves, now" She looked up at him with a smile, and called like that when she was a child: "Brother Ayuan, I know that your body is pure, and there is a hardship in your heart, and there is no one around you for so many years, if so, if you don't dislike me, I am willing to wait by your side for a long time." ”
Although it is useless, in the end she is a powerful person, and she can protect her, maybe she is a hundred times more beautiful than now, and Xu Meiren looked up at him, no matter what he was, there was no man who could compare to that appearance.
Xue Yuan glanced at her quietly, and said in a faint voice: "Is the beauty trying to trap our family in injustice?" The bones of the first emperor are not cold, and the beauty actually has this thought, which is really dampening! Cold sweat oozed from Xu Meiren's forehead, and he turned around: "There is no shortage of people around our family, and the number of people who wake the spirit is discussed and drawn up by the Ministry of Rites and the celebrant supervisor. ”
He went out of the door, calculated that the time was almost up, and ordered Cheng Bei, who was standing outside the door, to turn around and walk to the East Editing Factory, and Cheng Bei looked at him on the way: "I thought you would take this opportunity to take Xu Meiren out, this thing you and I want, but it is much stronger than those twisted melons."
He saw Xue Yuan's indifferent eyes coming, and he was so frightened that he was busy shutting his mouth, and was thinking about how to remedy it, when he heard Xue Yuan ask in a casual voice, "What did she tell you?" ”
Chengbei didn't dare to hide this, and said busily: "Let's just say that you and she met when they were children, and they had a childhood sweetheart, but what they said was similar to what was rumored at the beginning, and I didn't dare to slack off here, so I dared to reply to you." He sneered again, bowed left and right in his face, and slapped him a few times: "It's me who is confused, where you treat her like an acquaintance, you must be using your name to build a relationship." ”
Xue Yuan's eyes were a little gloomy, he stroked the Buddha beads on his wrist, and said: "The emperor's enthronement ceremony is imminent, at this time, keep an eye on me, don't let people make trouble, if someone doesn't have long eyes, then hang his skin on the pole of the East Factory." ”
Ascending the throne is a big thing, and it can't be overlooked, but there have been a lot of things recently, and the celebrant and the Ministry of Rites have discussed it, and everything that can be saved must be saved, and the emperor must be allowed to ascend the throne as much as possible.
Jiang Youtian was pulled up to prepare before dawn, and was persuaded by Xiangyin, who was finally coming back, to change into a crown robe, wearing a heavy crown of twelve crowns on his head, as long as he shook his head, the pearl jade in front of him started a group fight.
She stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling mirror and dressed, and caught a glimpse of a slender figure stepping in, her head not daring to move, but she shouted: "Palm print, palm print!" When Xue Yuan came over unhurriedly, she said, "Can I change my crown clothes today into lighter leather clothes, I can't walk in this." ”
This kid is just that, he doesn't hold grudges, and he forgets the hatred of tooth extraction in one day's work. He stretched his eyebrows, "Since the emperor asked," he thought seriously: "That's still not good." He looked sideways and said, "It's time for you to call me me." ”
Jiang You's shoulders fell, and she took advantage of the incense seal to go out to get the jade pendant scarf, she twisted her body awkwardly, and looked down at her placket: "I don't know what's wrong, my chest has been swelling lately, and my leather jacket can be wider, and this body hurts." She thought about it, and said worriedly: "It's a three-point poison, don't use hemp boiling powder last time to do something." ”
Lord Xue Du was well-informed, and he knew what was going on as soon as he heard it, so he paused in place in a rare embarrassment, and still avoided the topic: "It's almost time, the emperor is ready as much as possible." He glanced at Jiang You in the clouds, and still considered the words: "You can just ask the minister about this matter, it's better not to go out and talk nonsense, so as not to be laughed at." ”
Jiang You muttered in a low voice: "If you don't say it yourself, I'm not allowed to ask others." ”
Xue Yuan looked at it quietly for a moment, then retracted his gaze, took the six-colored ribbon and put it on her, and said lightly: "Your Majesty, let's go." ”
