Chapter 41

Changping stood under the eaves, the red gold dots between the temples swayed gently, she raised her hand and teased the parrot brother under the eaves with a silver skewer, and said casually: "Cousin, let's get up quickly, it's not worth it for a slave, I don't know, I think I'm what's wrong with you." ”

Roufu looked at Changping pitifully with a pair of red eyes: "All the mistakes are my sister's, sister, don't be angry with others." She turned around and took the Shu brocade from the maid's hand: "This purple koji water should have belonged to my sister, but now that it is returned as it is, my sister will dissipate her anger." ”

Changping gently flicked the bird's beak: "What did my cousin say?" It's as if I'm angry with you over a piece of cloth, but I'm such a stingy person in my cousin's eyes. She glanced sideways and looked at Roufu with a smile: "Besides, my cousin is now the proud person in front of the imperial grandmother, and she has to serve in front of the hospital bed every day, how dare I be angry with you?" ”

Roufu's face turned pale, and he seemed to be a little flustered, and subconsciously wanted to bow his head, but suddenly raised his head again and said, "I am also here to fulfill my filial piety in front of my grandmother." ”

Changping poured some water into the white porcelain dish in the birdcage: "Your cousin granddaughter is busy with filial piety to the imperial grandmother, where is my own granddaughter?" She glanced at Roufu lightly: "Besides, if you want to be filial, you can do your filial piety, and you sent a maid to me to inquire about what's going on?" ”

Roufu's face was a little more ugly, Jiang You gradually heard that something was wrong, she originally thought that the two of them were in trouble because of Ziqu Shui, Changping found fault and punished the people around Roufu, Roufu rushed to intercede, but now it seems that there is something else.

Roufu's mouth opened and closed a few times, after all, he was still timid and lacked confidence, and said the truth: "The original Ning Wangfu has now been rewarded by the emperor, I heard that the imperial grandmother told my sister that she didn't want to leave me in the palace, and wanted to send me to the mountain to pray for the royal blessing, I, I'm just."

Changping put aside the silver skewer: "Do you suspect that it was because the emperor gave me one less piece of cloth, so I hated you and persuaded my grandmother to send you away?" Not only that, but you also secretly sent maidservants to my palace to inquire to see if it was instigated behind my back? She sneered mercilessly at the left and right maids: "There is a saying called 'spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain', and I can be regarded as looking at it today." ”

Roufu's face turned red, tears swirled in her eyes, she had never had any opinions, the dough was kneaded like a person, as long as there was a way to live, she didn't know how to resist, she only knew that she was secretly suspicious of this and that, which was pitiful and hateful, she paused and cried: "As soon as the purple koji water was sent to my palace, there was a rumor in the palace that the imperial grandmother was going to send me out of the palace, and I knew that my sister hated me in her heart." She lamented, "It's all mine, I hope my sister will give me a way to live!" ”

Jiang You is very clear about this cousin's temperament, and after listening to the words of the two of them, Roufu was suspicious that Changping was jealous of her slander to the Queen Mother, so he sent a maid to inquire about the news, she came today not to intercede for a maid at all, but to come to intercede for herself, Jiang You figured out this joint and shook his head, stood in front of the wall and coughed, turned around and went in.

Changping was so angry that he couldn't speak, and was about to speak, when he saw Jiang You walk in, her expression was solemn, and her face was also indifferent, first saluted Jiang You, and said softly with a side eye: "If you want to kneel, kneel." Then he motioned for Jiang You to follow her into the house.

Jiang You walked in with a step, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he asked, "Xiang Xiang told the Queen Mother about getting rid of Cousin Roufu."

Changping intercepted her words: "I didn't do it, even if I can't get used to her, I won't run to chew the root of her tongue for her." She sneered: "Her temperament should be seen from the time she helped King Ning to harm the emperor of the Zhang family, cowardly, selfish and suspicious, she only knows how to cry and cry when she encounters problems, pretend to be a good person on the side, and blindly accept it." ”

This is also true, although Jiang You and Changping do not deal with each other, but the two are surprisingly similar, and she doesn't look down on Roufu's cowardly temperament, so she doesn't refute: "I thought you were fighting with her because of the purple qushui, but now it seems that she is suspicious of a dark ghost and sent someone to your palace to inquire, but it is not hers." ”

Changping raised his hand and offered her a cup of tea, and said casually: "The emperor is right, my things are distributed to her plainly, I am not very comfortable in my heart, and I also stabbed her a few words, but she is not so good for this calculation, but she is suspicious of me." ”

Jiang You was a little unaccustomed to her temperament of competing for the first place in this mouth, and he didn't accept tea, so he let her hold it and said, "You have to be forgiving and forgiving." ”

Changping glanced at her lightly, directly put down the tea cup in his hand, shook his hand, and suddenly changed his words: "The imperial grandmother didn't use her to get benefits, and she didn't become a princess, she was put in the palace to look at the heart, and she felt unkind when she was driven out of the palace, and after thinking about it, there was only one way to put her on the mountain to pray for the emperor, if there was no accident, she would go for a lifetime, no wonder she didn't want to go." She smiled sarcastically: "Poor her, she is still grateful to the imperial grandmother, and runs to the grandmother's bedside every day to offer courtesy, and she only hates me in her heart, thinking that I instigated the imperial grandmother to drive her away." ”

When Jiang You heard her ridicule Roufu, he also brought the Empress Dowager with him, and the knife was immoral, as if there was something dirty, she was the real blood of the Empress Dowager!

She looked sideways and said cautiously: "Speaking of which, Cousin Roufu was also brought into the palace by the imperial grandmother, you treat her so slowly, isn't it the face of the imperial grandmother?" Aren't you afraid that she will find out and annoy you? ”

Changping glanced at her, still in that lofty tone: "I was born with a straight intestine, a stupid big sister's temper, annoy me, annoy me, anyway, I can't change my temperament." ”

Jiang You was determined to continue to ask, and saw a palace maid who opened the curtain in a panic and walked in, and said in a panic: "Oh no, no, the county lord doesn't know what's wrong, he just suddenly hit the pillar, and now he has fainted!" ”

As soon as these words came in, Jiang You and Changping were taken aback, and they didn't care about speaking, so they raised their steps and rushed out, and saw that Roufu had passed out on the ground, surrounded by several palace maids, Jiang You hurriedly pushed aside everyone and looked at her, and saw that there was a scar on her forehead, and the blood was soaked in delicate makeup.

She was startled, and hurriedly probed Roufu's snort, and after a closer look, she found that the wound on her forehead looked scary, but it was only a broken skin, it should be a force, if it really put out the strength of death, not to mention the death or not, the scar will definitely not be so shallow, she frowned, could it be that Roufu did not hesitate to use a bitter trick in order to stay in the palace?

Jiang You pondered for a while, and then said, "Let's invite the imperial doctor first." ”

Changping also saw some clues at this time, and sneered in a low voice: "The emperor wants to treat it, but the sick person is not me, but he is diagnosed and treated in my palace, what does it look like to spread it?" ”

Jiang You raised her eyelids and rolled her eyes at her, but Roufu, who was lying on the ground, didn't know whether she was really dizzy or fake, her eyes were closed, she grabbed her hair in annoyance, raised her hand and beckoned the two attendants to carry Roufu out.

Changping saw that everyone was surrounded by the faint Roufu and went away, so he flicked his sleeves and turned back to the house, but her personal maid was a little unbearable: "Princess, why do you bother to make this appearance?" Not only did I offend the Empress Dowager, but I am afraid that the emperor would also offend him. ”

Changping had already put away his unruly demeanor at this time, and slowly took a sip of tea and said: "Roufu is also stupid, she made up her mind to rely on me, and decided that as long as I speak, the imperial grandmother can extinguish the idea of sending her out, if I don't refuse to be neat and tidy, that girl is only afraid that there will be entanglement." She smiled slightly: "Although the emperor and I don't get along well, she has a generous temperament, and if she is unhappy, it will take a few days." ”

The maid couldn't help but say: "Then the queen mother's side, the county lord was originally found by her, even if you don't want to see it now, you treat the county lord like this, isn't it a shame for her?" ”

Changping glanced at her lightly, frightened her mouth, she got up and slowly pushed open the window, and let the breeze send the fragrance of flowers in: "You have followed me since you were a child, and you know many things, before the emperor was born, she jumped to pass me on to the emperor, and then when the emperor was finally born, she instructed someone to push me into the river in order to frame Empress Zhang." ”

She let out a long sigh: "I was only five years old at the time, and the river was so cold that I almost died. She stood by the window and looked out: "Now that I'm older, she is in a hurry to marry me off, either to marry their Zhao family, or to marry a colleague minister who is good friends with the Zhao family." The imperial grandmother looked very caring for me, but in her bones she was the same as King Ning, and I was just an object to exchange for her benefits. ”

The maid was sad when she heard this, and couldn't help but call in a low voice: "Princess"

Changping suddenly smiled, and his expression was a little playful: "What if I deliberately put down the face of the emperor's grandmother?" I'm such a brainless fool to the outside world, with a stinky temper that people hate dogs, even if I lose the face of the emperor's grandmother, she can't say anything about me, who made me have such a temper? She rubbed her forehead with some trouble: "I just hope that my bad reputation will spread, and those who beat my marriage idea will also be discouraged." ”

Over there, Jiang You invited the imperial doctor, and a few needles went down to save Roufu and woke her up, she was crying and crying by Roufu until she was dizzy, and she got out when it was easy, and found that it was already night, she thought about tomorrow morning, went back and hurriedly washed up and went to bed.

On the morning of the second day, I didn't see Xue Yuan, and when I asked, I knew that something had happened in Dongchang temporarily, so she had to rush to the court with an empty heart, but at a glance I saw that the expressions of the ministers were more or less strange, but you look at me, I see that you are reluctant to speak, and she is too lazy to investigate, and was about to say that she had nothing to do to retreat from the court, when she saw Xie Qian, who was the third prince of Li Xiangzhong, stood up.

He bowed slightly and said: "Your Majesty, there are three so-called unfilial pieties, no queen is the greatest, the royal heir is the most important, related to the country, now the emperor's throne is empty, the queen is vacant, where is the heir?" According to the ministers, the emperor might as well choose three talented children to fill the harem, and set the storage position, so that we can rest assured. ”

I don't know how the news came out after the Empress Dowager chose Jiang You last time, which also made the courtiers' minds active, thinking about whether there were any good-looking children and nephews in the family.

Jiang You was sick all over her body since she got up in the morning, she thought at first that she was angry with Roufu, but she didn't think much about it, but she didn't expect that now she suddenly had a pain in her lower abdomen, which made her even sit hard, and she paused for a while before she reluctantly spoke: "I'm still young, so I'm not in a hurry about this for the time being." ”

At this time, Wang Hong, the servant of the ministry, suddenly stood up: "Your Majesty, what Gong Xie said is that the storage position is a major event of the country, and it must not be delayed. ”

The pain in his lower abdomen became more and more intense from the beginning, Jiang You sweated a little on his forehead, frowned impatiently, and said, "If I remember correctly, this Wang Lun seems to be your nephew, right?" Wang Shilang is really a good idea! ”

Wang Hong was embarrassed for a moment, after many years of experience in the officialdom, his face immediately returned to normal: "The internal move does not avoid relatives, the external move does not avoid resentment, the minister is dedicated to the emperor's consideration, and has no selfishness." ”

Don't blame him for being in a hurry, the empress is not as good as the male emperor, the male emperor can collect three thousand beauties to fill the harem, but at the beginning Zhongzong set the rule of death, at most he can only choose three imperial concubines to enter the palace, this is not gender discrimination, but the women's body is not as good as men, and there are a series of trivial matters such as decay water, pregnancy, etc., recruiting too many people into the palace will hurt the body, and the number of places is limited, how can they not be in a hurry?

He carefully considered the words and sentences, and continued according to Jiang You's usual preferences: "Wang Lun can write and martial arts, be good at poetry and writing, and the emperor is also good at martial arts, good at Danqing, he and the emperor will definitely be able to play the piano and sing harmoniously." ”

Jiang You usually likes these, but today his face turned white with pain, and he resisted the urge to press his hand on his stomach, so angry that he almost flipped the table: "What kind of crooked reasoning are you talking about, I have to pull it into the palace if I like it?!" I still like to eat mutton, do I have to bring a few sheep into the palace? She couldn't bear the pain, and when she saw that there were still people below who wanted to speak, she hurriedly said: "I am not feeling well today, retreat from the court!" ”

The ministers had nothing to say, so they could only bow their bodies and salute, and were about to turn around and leave, but they saw that Jiang You was still sitting firmly on the dragon chair, the emperor didn't leave, and they didn't dare to go first, so they could only bend over and stare at it with big eyes.

Jiang You saw that they were still not leaving, so he was stunned for a moment before reacting: "You guys retreat first, I, I will rest here first." ”

The ministers were choked for a while before retreating, and when all the ministers retreated, Jiang You slowly raised his body and looked at the red on Huang Aya's mat, her face was a little pale, and her body became more and more uncomfortable.

She was frightened, she had the experience of King Ning last time, she thought of the Empress Dowager in a flash, could it be that she was angry a few days ago and poisoned herself? She thought about it and thought it was impossible, there were so many eyes in the palace staring, and besides, she hadn't eaten anything inappropriate recently.

Or is there some incurable disease she has? She looked at the yellow silk mat that was dirty and dirty, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that it was possible, if it was good, and she was not injured or sick, how could her body bleed?

At this time, several chamberlains standing next to him also felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly trotted over and asked, "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?" ”

Jiang You hurriedly turned around and sat down, looked at them suspiciously, and was afraid that he was really poisoned, and even the imperial doctor didn't dare to call it, so he could only say to Ma Cheng who came out of Dongchang with a white face: "You go and bring the palm print, just say that I have something to find him." Then he commanded a few people next to him: "You guys stand down first, I don't like anyone to stay around." ”

The monk who was the second of several people was confused, but the emperor's orders did not dare to disobey, so he had to retreat with a blank face.

After the people left, Jiang You sat on the dragon chair and moved left and right, feeling weak, her stomach hurt terribly, and there were warm and slippery things down her thighs, she didn't dare to lift the dragon robe to look at it now, so she could only lie on the table in front of her with a white face, feeling that it was nothing more than death.

As soon as Xue Yuan entered the gate of the East Compilation Factory, he was stopped by Ma Cheng in a hurry, and he couldn't say a word clearly, so Xue Yuan hurriedly followed him to the main hall, and saw Jiang You lying on the table with his head down, looking at the front with a distracted look.

Xue Yuan looked at it and felt tight, and took a few steps forward to support her and said, "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?" ”

Jiang You raised his face suddenly, his eyes trembled with some mist, and he said in a trembling voice: "Palm print, my stomach hurts so much, am I going to die?" ”

Xue Yuan coaxed softly: "You will be fine, there are ministers." He hesitated for a moment, but still reached out and pressed it: "Is the emperor hurting here?" Seeing Jiang You shaking his head, he changed several places in a row, and only nodded when he reached his lower abdomen.

Xue Yuan glanced at her suspiciously, and rarely hesitated to speak: "Your Majesty, do you still have any symptoms?" ”

Jiang You lifted the dragon robe and got up, showed him a pool of blood on the yellow silk, and said with a sad face: "I still shed a lot of blood. ”

Xue Yuan paused for a moment, his face seemed to be a little embarrassed as if he wanted to laugh, and after a while, he straightened out his expression, and slowly said, "You're not afraid that you're not sick, nor are you poisoned." He thought for a while and was surprised: "Is it the first time that the emperor has this symptom?" Didn't the big maid and grandmother in the palace teach you? ”

Jiang You shook his head and said, "There is no grandmother in my palace, and no one has mentioned this to me. She tugged at Xue Yuan's sleeve and asked, "It's not that I'm sick or poisoned, so what's wrong with me?" ”

Xue Yuan paused again, and took out the words of the same adults to coax children: "When the emperor grows up, he will know." ”

Jiang You bluffed his face and was unhappy: "What feelings leave is not the blood of palm prints, I don't want to grow up to know, I have to know now." ”

Today is probably the day of embarrassment in Xue Changgong's life, he simply didn't answer, untied the big guy and wrapped Jiang You's whole person, and then hugged him horizontally, and a sharp eye wind hit him, and said to Hou Hou's waiter outside: "Find two palace maids with big mouths and strict mouths to clean the dragon chair, and you are not allowed to reveal half a word about today's affairs." ”

Jiang You poked his head out of the big hole without giving up: "Since it's not poisoning, why do you want to make it so mysterious?" ”

Xue Yuan gently pinched her waist: "If the emperor doesn't want to be more embarrassed, don't speak, just listen to the minister's orders." "You can't let everyone in the palace and outside the palace know that the emperor is coming to dehydrate, right?

Jiang You's stomach hurt terribly, his usual curiosity was suppressed, and he didn't have the strength to ask when he heard the words, so he just shrank in Xue Yuan's arms with his head bowed.

Xue Yuan carried her all the way back to Qianqing Palace, and Xiangyin greeted her in surprise: "Factory father, this, what's the matter?" ”

Xue Yuan snorted: "How did you become a female official in front of the palace?" Don't even know about such a big deal? As he spoke, he put Jiang You on the bed, relieved the big picture, and Xiangyin saw that the blood stains on the dragon robe also understood, and said with embarrassment: "The slave and the slave have always thought that the emperor is still young, and it is not time to say this." ”

Jiang You poked his head out again, patted the bed board and asked, "What the hell is wrong with me!" ”

Xiangyin was afraid of Xue Yuan, and could only say vaguely: "You, you are here to dehydrate." ”

Jiang You still wanted to ask, but Xue Yuan didn't know what to remember, his face regained a calm expression, hooked his lips slightly, and instructed Xiangyin: "You go to prepare hot water and clean clothes to change for the emperor first, and then go and ask the imperial doctor to ask the emperor for pulse." ”

Xiangyin is embarrassed: "That, the emperor is here"

Xue Yuan glanced at her lightly: "If there is something to do, the courtiers will obey their work, and the emperor will come here for our family." He glanced at Xiangyin indifferently, and saw that the latter was full of excitement, hesitated to bow down and retreated, and glanced at Jiang You worriedly before leaving.

Jiang You hid in the next room and finished washing, changed into dry clothes, put on the silk cushion handed by the palace maid, and threw himself on the pillow weakly: "Can you say the palm print now?" ”

Xue Yuan walked around the screen, pressed one hand on her shoulder, and slowly slid down, slowly drawing along the shoulder, he raised his lips: "The emperor really wants to know?" He didn't wait for Jiang You to answer, so he said to himself: "The emperor is here to decate water, and when he comes to dehydration, he is a real woman, and he can marry a little prince." His fingertips tipped a light circle on the back of her shoulder, and there was some joy on his face that he was finally getting what he wanted: "You have grown up." ”

Jiang You didn't feel anything when he discussed the marriage with the people next to him, but when he heard Xue Yuan say this, he felt uncomfortable, shrunk his shoulders and said, "This is considered to be grown up?" So, how long will the decay water take? ”

Xue Yuan was stunned when he was asked, he was not a woman, how could he know so much, so he had to think about it and replied: "About once a month, about a few days at a time." ”

Jiang You cried and said with a sad face: "Do I have to be so painful for several days?" ”

Xue Yuan narrowed his eyes, and then smiled slightly: "The minister will help you press it." After he finished speaking, without waiting for Jiang You to reply, he lifted the dragon robe covered outside with one hand and slid it in along the middle coat.

He reached in and remembered that the child was not wearing a coat, or that he had nothing to carry around when he did, so his hand was just straight on her lower abdomen.

The temperature of his fingers was slightly lower, and the cool Jiang Youse shrank a little, twisted his body to let him withdraw: "Don't mess around with palm prints, men and women don't kiss, you can't be so unruly!" ”

Xue Yuan found the right place and pressed it gently, and said in a rambling voice: "The minister is not a man, so there is no need to pay attention to these rules, besides, the emperor is the monarch and I am the minister, so it is not good to watch the emperor suffer." ”

The place between the square inches is slippery, he just endured it so that he didn't let himself mess around, Jiang You's heart was pounding, and he pushed his hand to let him withdraw: "Don't bother with the palm print, I will come by myself." ”

Between the entanglement between the two, the collar of her middle coat was half open, Xue Yuan squinted slightly, gently pressed one hand on her wrist, elegantly lifted the sa and sat on the dragon bed, and muttered something useless: "The emperor has also reached the age when he should be in charge of personnel" He bowed his head and snorted, "The minister has not finished teaching many things, so let the minister serve the emperor." ”
