47. Chapter 47
Seeing the queen, there is actually nothing to worry about Qiwen, she can figure it out after a while, the emperor is taking her to show her face and show her attitude to the queen, that is: This is the legendary Qiwen of everyone, I will bring it to you to meet.
On the bright side, this is to show respect for the queen, and on the bad side, it probably has a bit of a warning.
Qiwen keenly felt that he was not as respectful to the queen as she had imagined. This made her a little uneasy.
As a modern person, seeing a situation like the queen who loves someone in her heart but is forced to marry another person, Qiwen's first reaction is sympathy. And after all, people came first, they are still their wives, and they have always taken care of her, but now she has the exclusive grace of the saint, and it is inevitable that she owes some money to the queen.
But she is not so generous, it is impossible to really hope that the emperor will treat the queen well, so she can only be so contradictory.
As for the situation of meeting later, identity determines the rules. If they see the emperor come up and introduce them at that time: "Empress, this is Qiwen." Qiwen, this is the queen. "That Qiwen must feel that she has crossed over for the second time......
Of course, if the queen came over to greet her with a smile as soon as they met: "This is Miss Qiwen, right?" "That's just as wrong.
In fact, there is no suspense, Qiwen just showed up in the past as a person from the palace. I want to thank you for the care you have received during this time, but it is not appropriate on this occasion.
In the evening, the emperor's official duties were almost done, so he took several entourages, including her, to Kunyu Palace. The journey was not far, so he waived the guard of honor and only went on foot. Qiwen knew that he didn't want a situation where he was sitting on his shoulder and she was following on foot - he was trying to avoid their master-servant posture as much as possible.
"There's another thing I want to ask you, Gong Zhengji took Ru'er Xun'er and them, I don't know what the result will be?" Halfway through, Qiwen whispered to him.
I have seen it before this morning, it is not only Qin'er who is frightened by this, but also the palace maids who live in the next room, every time they see her this morning, they are respectful, lest they offend her if they have an extra breath of atmosphere, she hates those little girls very much, but she has never thought of asking them to pay for their lives.
The emperor glanced at her: "You still want to intercede for them?" β
Qiwen sighed: "I know you want to be angry for me......"
"Who said I'm angry for you?" The emperor interrupted her abruptly, "I'm obviously angry for myself!" β
The emperor's woman can only be bullied by the queen mother if she wants to be bullied, and she dares to scold her face with a few little girls whose lives are like mustard?
It's a joke! How good-tempered he is when this emperor is.
That day, after a little inquiry in the lower room, I learned that those little girls had not stopped sneering at Qiwen almost every day these days, and the emperor thought it was incredible, most of them were from Yonghe Palace, and Wang Xuanzhi had not been released during the month-long starvation period, why hadn't they learned their lesson?
"You too," Seeing Qiwen bow her head, a little happy and embarrassed, the emperor couldn't help but point his finger at her, "Even if I don't give you any official position, can't you take out the money in front of the emperor to suppress them?" If you really tear your face and scold a few words, how can they dare to talk back? Dare to love your temper - all against me? β
Qiwen was so embarrassed that she couldn't raise her head: "Look at what you said, isn't it because I am indistinguishable from you that I am highly valued and do not hesitate to take care of them?" β
The emperor snorted lightly: "Dare to love this or give me face?" β
Qiwen was even more embarrassed, and said with a sad face: "I think those little girls don't have much knowledge, so they can't afford to deal with them." β
The emperor actually understands that it is strange and boring to deal with small people with simple minds. But you can't let it go because of this, the lowly little people at the bottom are vicious, and they are more outrageous than the big devil. This was deeply felt by him as a child.
Being angry with superiors is heartwarming, and being angry by subordinates is disgusting, which is more uncomfortable than heartwarming.
He swept over with a look: "When I was seven years old, there was a eunuch who repeatedly stole my snacks, saying that he still made a face at me and deliberately broke my things, do you know what happened to him in the end?" β
"What...... Outcome? Qiwen trembled.
The emperor glanced at several eunuchs who were following a few steps away, and deliberately looked at her condescendingly, so he made a mystery: "So far, no one except me knows his whereabouts. β
Qiwen suddenly made up many bloody horror movie plots in her head, and her face turned pale.
The emperor looked very proud. He had no quarrel with the world at that time, but he was not angry, he endured the snubbing of his parents, and some Diao slaves also watched people put down dishes, and he never planned to endure it.
He still disdains to sue the black, several Diao slaves who bullied him too much have experienced various "accidents", some were sent out of the palace horizontally, and some disappeared directly, and the rest of the people saw more accidents, so they understood that they were powerful, and they didn't dare to snub him anymore. The royal couple knew that they were ashamed, and they would not punish him for a few minions, so they all turned a blind eye and passed over.
PS: Those "accidents" were all his own hands, and even Wang Zhi didn't use them. Just as he killed the robber with his own hands, he loved the pleasure of his own hands when dealing with the wicked. But not this time, he won't be able to fix a few little girls by himself.
"Actually, I just think it's too trivial to bother you with such a trivial matter." Qiwen bluntly diverted the conversation, "Concubine Ning's former palace maid Cui Qiao also took sick leave to lie down at this time, and I caught a foreign spicy child before, and hung it on the back of her bun while she was not carrying it, and then watched that thing slide into the back of her neck." β
When you wear less clothes in summer, a few poisonous hairs on your body will cause redness, swelling and itching, and it is not fresh for sensitive people to blister and ulcerate. Slipping into the neck like this, it was a human tragedy.
Seeing that the emperor's eyes widened, Qiwen felt that her trick was too vicious, and lowered her head to argue: "That Cui Qiao hit me on the head when he was on duty in the sky, and he came to give me a disrespectful speech, and he also led the way to embarrass me for a while, and the day before yesterday, he actually burned a hole in my newly assigned jacket with incense." I couldn't get angry, so I ......."
Cui Qiao handed her the jacket at that time, and did not forget to pout her lips and smile and said, "Maybe showing a little flesh can hook the soul of the long-lived lord more", Qiwen thought it was tolerable or unbearable, so she ...... In fact, she didn't know that Cui Qiao belonged to sensitive skin.
"Where did you catch the spicy fish at this time?" His Majesty's attention was focused on the sword.
Qiwen flashed: "I happened to see one on the walnut tree in the courtyard below, because it grew to this season, so it was very big...... You don't want to even pack up the emerald warp, do you? Actually, I want to say that although these little girls are hateful, they are not guilty of death. For my sake, you're going to have to deal with them, right? β
The emperor can actually understand that no matter how fierce her temperament is, after all, she is kind by nature, and he doesn't want her to bear the burden of human life, so he said: "It's true that the crime is not to death, don't worry, it's just a meal and drive home." β
In fact, those little girls are afraid that Meng Po soup has been drunk now, and the little palace maid who provoked the emperor's anger still wants to live? There is no need for him to order a word, and the eunuchs of the palace will definitely get things done, and it is already calculated that they can die happily.
The emperor said that tolerance is tolerant enough, that is for innocent people, and for non-innocent people, he is not afraid of excessive punishment.
As for that Cui Qiao, if she can be restrained, it won't be a big deal to let her live. The life or death of this kind of person is not worth taking up more of his energy. However, since it was the palace maid in front of Concubine Ning, the emperor pondered it a little more. It's Concubine Ning again......
Qiwen couldn't imagine that the current emperor could lie to her so unchanging and heartless, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "In fact, with the queen's mother's care, no one dares to be too presumptuous to me." β
When he stepped on the Dan Majesty outside the Kunyu Palace, an unexpected news came from the inner attendant: Concubine Ning Niangniang also happened to be inside.
Qiwen liked the news. She had long wanted to see what the masters of Cui Qiao and Ru'er's little girls looked like.
The emperor added a little interest, Concubine Ning relied on the queen to talk, and even the morning province invited An to be able to save the province, except for the special day when he came to join in the fun, he rarely came over, and today is here, what is it for?
A fresh and delicate smell of incense wafts into the face. The Ming Hall of the main hall of Kunyu Palace is more spacious than the Ming Hall of Longxi Pavilion, but it is furnished elegantly and does not show luxury.
The scene was indeed not as expected by Qiwen, the queen led Concubine Ning and a group of people in the palace to salute the emperor solemnly, and when the emperor spoke, everyone got up. As a subordinate brought by the emperor, she only bowed to the queen when she first entered the door, and even omitted the steps of formal bowing and waiting for the queen to call, and then stood quietly on the side, escaping into the air.
No matter what kind of eyes the queen and Concubine Ning looked at her, it was impossible for Qiwen to communicate directly with them. And she even looked at the appearance of the two concubines, so she could only take a peek when no one was looking at her.
The queen was dressed in a moon-white chrysanthemum placket, with a honey-lotus-colored cotton skirt, and a simple bun on her head, only a white jade wrapped gold silk hairpin with a clear body, her skin was white and greasy, her eyebrows and eyes were delicate, and her demeanor was gentle.
She is only in the upper middle, and she is not gorgeously dressed, but she has a natural noble bearing, she knows at a glance that she is very high-born, has received an excellent upbringing, and has a dignified smile on the corner of her lips, gentle and kind, and is amiable to look at, which makes Qiwen very good at first sight.
Sure enough, Mama Li's so-called good queen looks like a good person.
Concubine Ning is slightly shorter than the queen, wearing a brocade gown with rose-purple gold silk embroidered with hibiscus flowers, a garnet-red elastic Moluo skirt, and a big five-phoenix flying phoenix hanging beaded golden hairpin on her head, covering up the beauty on her face, and several small gold ornaments are miscellaneous, so that Qiwen can't help but feel some pity for her neck.
I have heard that Concubine Ning is a stunning beauty, and today I can be regarded as knowledgeable. How to say it, she looks really good, but this temperament is really compared to the unpretentious queen mother.
Haven't you ever seen gold? I've never seen it, and I don't have to show it so clearly.
Thinking that she could tolerate Cuiqiao's appearance and be a personal palace maid, Qiwen couldn't look down on her much. Sure enough, as Mama Li complained about before, this draft and the later education of the palace concubine were too hasty.
"The concubines don't bother the emperor and the mother, so they will retire." Concubine Ning blessed her body and said.
The panic in her expression and tone immediately attracted the emperor's attention, and a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he said with a slight mockery: "Why do you want to leave when you see me coming?" β
Concubine Ning glanced at him, and was even more at a loss: "How can the concubine disturb the emperor's conversation with Niangniang?" β
She had never been so eye-catching, no matter how she was treated coldly by him in the past, Concubine Ning still persevered to visit on the New Year's Day again and again, and there was no time when she didn't wait for him to clearly retreat from her.
The emperor was noncommittal, and asked the empress instead, "What are you talking about?" β
The queen's expression was also very unnatural, she glanced at Concubine Ning, and said with a smile: "It's not a big deal, it's just some gossip." β
The Emperor walked slowly to the side and sat down casually on a guest officer's hat chair, "Oh, if it's gossip, you might as well tell me about it." β
Qiwen covered it with bangs, and had already peeked at Concubine Ning looking at the queen almost pleadingly, and the queen was also embarrassed and didn't know how to speak.
The emperor took a sip of the tea from the palace people, looked at the queen and said, "Say, how can you be a person who can make up lies?" β
With just this sentence, Qiwen couldn't help but be distracted and hurriedly soothed herself: It's just that, being jealous in such a hurry is too much to get along with herself.
The queen sighed and said with a smile: "Sister Ning just told me that the day before yesterday, someone saw Miss Qiwen in front of the emperor drunkenly going back to the next place...... It's not forbidden for the palace to drink alcohol, but it's always inappropriate during the upper duty......"
It turned out that Concubine Ning actually came to the queen to complain, but the emperor did not have a gloomy face, but stretched his eyebrows and eyes, and the corners of his lips were slightly curled, revealing a layer of joking smile. And this smile is even more terrifying than a gloomy face.
Concubine Ning hurriedly said: "But the concubine also said just now, the emperor obviously knows about this, so Miss Qiwen's drunkenness must have another secret...... There are extenuating circumstances, and it can't be regarded as a violation of the palace rules. β
The emperor personally sent the drunken Qiwen back to the next place, this matter was already known to the palace, of course, Concubine Ning was not stupid enough to think that if she complained to the queen, the queen could ignore the emperor's face and punish Qiwen.
She just got the queen's nest accurately, and she expected to use the "mistake" made by Qiwen to squeeze the queen, and the queen would not have the confidence to send her men to protect Qiwen in the future. If she wants to do something to Qiwen, she won't have any traces of taking the queen seriously.
Cui Qiao always wants to stand up in front of Qiwen, precisely because she Ning Concubine wants to stand up in front of Qiwen. Two days ago, the batch of jewelry from the imperial prison was distributed, only the purple jade bracelet she coveted the most was missing, Cui Qiao also followed the way, and the little palace maids were cleaned up again, Concubine Ning felt that if she didn't give Qiwen some color to see, she would climb on her head, and she was a noble person in the concubine position, and she punished a little palace maid, what else could she not do?
Although the emperor seems to value the palace maid, isn't it still uncanonized? is not canonized, but it is tacitly accepted that she can still only be a minion, and there is nothing wrong with treating her as a minion himself.
Concubine Ning thought so.
The only mistake she made was that as soon as these words were stabbed in front of the queen's mother, she happened to meet the emperor in person and took the little palace maid with her. No matter how much she felt that she had done nothing wrong, she didn't have the courage to cut the emperor's face in person.
It was only at this time that the emperor finally figured out why these little women could see that he favored Qiwen, and always had the courage to bully herβthey just saw that she was not canonized.
He thought it was ridiculous. A woman in the position of a concubine, like those little girls, thinks that as long as Qiwen has no name, she is a slave who can be manipulated by others? It can be seen that last year's draft was really rushed.
Not all the girls in small families are like this, why did they choose her to be virtuous and not virtuous, and to have no brains? Queen Taishang really didn't pay attention to it, and she personally checked it in the end of the draft, and she also personally ordered this Concubine Ning as a concubine. If it weren't for that, Concubine Ning wouldn't have had the confidence to make waves. She really thinks of herself as a green onion!
However, it's okay like this, anyway, he is also looking for an opportunity to attack, so that Concubine Ning will no longer have the confidence to make trouble, and now the opportunity is sent to the door.
