Chapter 292: A Great Change in Temperament
Xiao Xia's sudden anger frightened several old men to kneel and kowtow: "The concubine forgives the sin, the concubine forgives the sin!" ”
"Forgive what sins? There are still a few days left before the emperor's birthday, why don't you arrange it quickly and prepare well? ”
Several people raised their eyes to look at Xiao Xia blankly, and after hesitating for a moment, an old man with a white beard and white hair cautiously asked: "What does Niangniang mean...... Is it a family dinner? Or ......"
Xiao Xia glanced at him with a cold face: "Every tenth is a big birthday, do you still need this palace to arrange it?" ”
"Don't dare, don't dare!"
"That's good, you guys...... Widely posted, all officials and family members above the fourth grade of the imperial court can enter the palace to congratulate, understand? ”
"Huh? This involves a large number of people, Niangniang, do you want to ask the emperor first? ”
"Hmm~~?" Xiao Xia raised her eyebrows in a tone, and the old man was immediately afraid, and responded respectfully.
Coming out of the Internal Affairs Office, Gui Ying Guilan walked on the side of Xiao Xia's sedan chair, and several girls always peeked at themselves from time to time, all of them looked like they wanted to talk and stopped.
What do they want to say Xiao Xia is very clear, and they will definitely oppose it if they explain the reason, so it is better to tell them if they do it, it will be a foregone conclusion at that time, and it is useless to say it.
When entering the Imperial Garden, Xiao Xia saw Su Lingman and Concubine Fang walking together from a distance, and the intimate appearance of the two made Xiao Xia frown slightly, remembering the situation last evening, she was still a little unhappy in her heart.
Xiao Xia didn't plan to deal with them, but when the two saw Xiao Xia and his party, they came over hand in hand to say hello. Xiao Xia could only stop and look at the two of them coldly: "When did the two of you become so affectionate?" ”
Concubine Fang glanced at Su Lingman and said half-jokingly: "It's not that Concubine Su's sister was snubbed by the concubine Niangniang. When I was sad and wanted to find someone to complain about, I found my head! If you want to like it, just take it back! ”
Concubine Su also smiled and said: "Sister Fang, don't talk nonsense, the concubine is obviously here to ask her sister to visit the concubine Niangniang, and Sister Concubine Fang is about to lose the concubine halfway, doesn't Sister Concubine Fang want to see the concubine?" ”
Concubine Fang's eyelids jumped: "Who said I don't want to see Sister Guifei anymore?" When the palace saw the concubine's sister from afar, he hurried over to greet him, didn't he? By the way, Sister Guifei, where are you going in this outfit? ”
Xiao Xia lowered her eyebrows and pondered. Then he raised his eyebrows and said lightly: "I can go wherever I want to go in this palace, do I have to ask you what you mean first?" ”
Concubine Fang was stunned for a moment, her face turned white with a brush, and the smile on her face froze there and couldn't move.
Su Lingman was also surprised to hear Xiao Xia speak like this. I don't know if it's instinct or playing round. pulled an embarrassed smile: "This ...... Sister Fangfei, the concubine is joking with you, don't take it to heart, right, concubine Niangniang? ”
Xiao Xia raised the corners of his eyebrows: "What are you?" Who qualifies me to talk like this to Hongu? Retreat, go back to the palace! ”
Su Lingman's reaction this time was the same as Concubine Fang's, she was stunned and motionless as if she had been petrified in an instant. Not only them, but even Gui Ying and Guilan next to them looked at each other in surprise. Gui Fang asked in a low voice: "Sister Gui Ying, what's wrong with Niangniang?" ”
Xiao Xia saw that everyone didn't react. There was another layer of anger on his face: "What are you doing in a daze?" Didn't anyone listen to what Hongu said? Let's go! Back to the palace! ”
Xiao Xia's scolding woke everyone up, and Guilan hurriedly beckoned the sedan chair man to get up and walk quickly in the direction of Xia Yu Palace.
Concubine Fang and Su Lingman, who were left behind, gradually came back to their senses, looking at the sedan chair where she swaggered farther and farther away, Concubine Fang gritted her teeth with hatred: "This Yu Xiaoxia, has you eaten a cannon battle?" This palace came to greet me with good intentions, and she insulted me like this. ”
Su Lingman frowned and stared at Xiao Xia's back, feeling strange in his heart, why is this concubine completely different from the concubine he saw a few days ago? What the hell is going on?
Concubine Fang was still angry after scolding, and when she saw Su Lingman next to her, she pointed at her and said angrily: "And you, did you collude with the person surnamed Yu and deliberately brought me here so that she could humiliate me, right?" Okay, you Su Lingman, I still believe you in this palace, I didn't expect you to calculate this palace like this, hum! ”
Concubine Fang flicked her sleeves and turned away angrily, Su Lingman reacted and hurriedly trotted to catch up: "Concubine Fang!" Concubine Fang Niangniang stayed, this matter has nothing to do with the concubine! ”
Seeing Concubine Fang's petrified appearance and face, Xiao Xia was inexplicably a little excited, just like a mischievous child who got lucky.
That's right, I used to look forward and worry in the palace and was afraid of this and that, for fear of offending someone and having a hard time in the future, and by the way, I would affect the people around me, but the more well-behaved and gentle I was, the more people didn't take me seriously, and it seemed that I was still very fond of Feng Jintian.
I don't want to stay in the palace, if Feng Jintian still misses me, it will definitely be no good to leave like that, it is better to change his personality, make people feel arrogant and arrogant, and let the people in the palace hate themselves, if Feng Jintian also hates himself, to the point where he is out of sight and out of mind, he will definitely not be held accountable if he leaves at that time.
Yes, that's the idea she played. First, you can do a lot of things with the help of the identity of the concubine, do everything you wanted to do before, and secondly, prepare for your own departure from the palace.
The previous Internal Affairs Office, Concubine Fang, and Su Lingman were the objects of her experiments, and along the way, she stopped the sedan chair when she saw someone, called the other party over and knelt down three times and bowed nine times, and then sneered coldly, only one point: no humiliation, the effect was immediate, and in just half a day, she made countless enemies for herself.
As soon as the sedan chair returned to Xia Yu Palace, Gui Ying and several other maids, who had long been suffocated, hurriedly helped Xiao Xia back to the dormitory to remove her makeup, and closed the doors and windows tightly by the way.
Gui Fang, who couldn't hide her words the most, couldn't care a lot, and asked, "Niangniang, what were you doing just now?" As soon as you go out, you will offend people, and along the way, the people in the palace will be offended by you, what will you do in the future? ”
Xiao Xia raised her eyebrows disapprerovingly: "Offended? As a concubine, it is their blessing to talk to them, what should not be offended? ”
Gui Fang opened her mouth wide in surprise and looked at Xiao Xia speechless, and Gui Ying and Gui Lan Guixiang also looked at each other in surprise. Several people seemed to want to persuade a few words, but before they could speak, Xiao Xia said impatiently: "What's the feeling?" The headdress was about to break his neck. You think I've lived too long, don't you? ”
A few maids were startled, and hurriedly helped Xiao Xia remove the headdress and change into a simple homely bun.
Before she could change out of her court clothes, a palace maid hurriedly came to report, saying that the prince next to the emperor had come to see her.
Xiao Xia waved his hand lightly: "Call him in, you all retreat!" ”
Xiao Xia had already guessed the intention of the princess, it was for the matter of the Internal Affairs Office, and the princess said it tactfully. said that it was the emperor's intention not to let the Internal Affairs Office operate in a big way, but Xiao Xia suddenly went to the Internal Affairs Office to ask for a banquet for the ministers, which was contrary to the emperor's intentions. Is it inappropriate?
After hearing this, Xiao Xia raised his eyebrows and said: "Princess, this palace is kind enough to congratulate the emperor on his birthday, so what's wrong with letting the Internal Affairs Office hurry up and prepare?" This harem has no owner. The main house has the highest quantile of the house. Shouldn't you take on the burden of helping the emperor take care of the harem and deal with internal affairs? The queens of all dynasties have the right to hold banquets in the harem to entertain the courtiers and their families, why can't this palace? ”
The prince was shocked when he heard David, he stared at Xiao Xia in surprise for a long time, and stammered, "Niangniang, ...... Are you sick? ”
"Presumptuous!" Xiao Xia slapped the table and stood up: "Wang An, what do you mean?" This palace is kind enough to organize a birthday banquet for the emperor, but you say that I have a bad brain, what do you mean? You make it clear to me! ”
Wang An hurriedly knelt on the ground: "Niangniang forgive your sins." Minions talk nonsense, minions open their mouths! ”
Wang An really knelt on the ground and slapped himself in the mouth. Xiao Xia wanted to snicker, but she still looked angry on her face:
"Okay, don't play tricks in front of the palace, tell you, the emperor has already said that there is no owner in the harem, and I have the highest rank, so I should help the emperor take care of the harem.
Now that the emperor is busy with government affairs and has no time to celebrate his birthday, as a concubine, what is wrong with arranging for the emperor? Wang An, you remember, you are not allowed to tell the emperor before the emperor's birthday, otherwise the palace will cut your tongue! Do you hear that? ”
Wang Anxin was shocked, he had been traveling in kilometers for decades, and he had never seen any strong winds and waves, but this noble concubine Niangniang, who had always been evasive and gentle, had a great change in temperament today as if she had eaten gunpowder, which really caught people off guard.
Originally, the Ministry of Internal Affairs came to ask the emperor, and the emperor was discussing important matters with the courtiers, and when he heard the reason for the matter, he thought that these old ministers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs had sued him, so he kindly ran over to ask the concubine, but he didn't expect that people would not appreciate it, but instead reprimanded him, making him lose his old face, which ...... This is really self-inflicted!
Wang An came out of Xia Yu Palace, stood under the plaque and looked back, shook his head and sighed, alas, I originally thought that this concubine was gentle and sensible, had a good family background and was favored by the emperor, and she would be able to gain a firm foothold in the palace for a long time.
Alas, it's a pity, it's a pity! Wang An shook his head and left the Xia Yu Palace, still thinking about what he would say when he saw the emperor later?
As soon as the prince left, the entire Xia Yu Palace fell into a strange silence, and everyone was at a loss, why did the originally gentle and kind concubine suddenly change now? It's like a different person, it's weird!
Although everyone was surprised and curious, and at the same time a little worried, no one dared to bring it up in front of Xiao Xia, it's not that they didn't want to mention it, Gui Ying asked before, and was scolded by the concubine in front of everyone, and then everyone was kicked out, and the concubine locked herself in the study alone, and she didn't know what she was doing?
The surroundings were finally quiet, Xiao Xia casually found a comfortable position and curled up in a chair, thinking about the next steps in her mind, today's effect applied her idea, and this plan should be no problem.
Wang An returned to the imperial study here, and as soon as the ministers left, he ran in and pretended to be speechless, and when Feng Jintian asked, he took the opportunity to tell Xiao Xia's affairs back and forth.
Feng Jintian looked back at Wang An when he heard this: "Those words were said by Xiao Xia himself?" ”
"Your Majesty, the slave dares to vouch with his head, that is the words of the concubine Niangniang who reprimanded the slave herself, and the slave does not do nonsense."
Feng Jintian didn't reply, just lowered his eyebrows and seriously reviewed the folds, Wang An waited for a while with half hunched waist and didn't see the emperor speak, he rolled his eyes and thought in his heart, did he say the wrong thing? The emperor is not happy? The emperor doesn't want to listen to the concubine's bad words? Or is the emperor considering what to do with the concubine?
Seeing the emperor's hand reaching for the teacup, Wang An diligently stepped forward to pour the tea and handed it to Feng Jintian: "Your Majesty! ”
Feng Jintian raised his eyes to look at him: "Why are you still here?" ”
The king paused: "Your Majesty, the slave ...... Minion ......"
"Didn't the concubine order to feast the ministers, what can those old men in the Internal Affairs Mansion do with it? You go and keep an eye on them, tell them to be prepared, don't lose our royal face. ”
Wang An was stunned for a moment before reacting: "Yes, the slave will go immediately." ”
"Wait a minute!"
"What else does the emperor command?"
"Concubine......" Feng Jintian closed his fold and raised his eyes to look at Wang An: "Did you really say that he wanted to help me assist in the harem?" ”
Wang An paused slightly, countless thoughts flashed in his mind, he couldn't understand whether the emperor was happy or unhappy, so he could only bow his head and honestly respond.
Feng Jintian looked thoughtfully outside the door for a long time, waved his hand and said, "Go!" ”
The emperor nodded, and Wang An was in charge, and the internal affairs office, which had always dragged on, was simply vigorous and resolute, and in just one day, the time and location of the banquet had already taken shape, and the posts of the banquet ministers were quickly sent.
In just one day, the originally quiet capital suddenly became lively, and even the early dynasty, which had always been nervous and dull, was a little more angry, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were discussing the banquet, and the people who received the post were naturally complacent, and those who did not receive it were blush, and they were embarrassed to greet their colleagues.
Feng Jintian saw this qiē in his eyes, he never thought of putting on a big feast, since Xiao Xia was happy, she wanted to celebrate her birthday, and he definitely couldn't save her face, so he reluctantly agreed, but the result was unexpected, he wanted to thank Xiao Xia now.
Therefore, as soon as the dynasty dispersed, Feng Jintian came to the harem in a good mood and walked in the direction of Xia Yu Palace.
Before he arrived at Xia Yu Palace, he saw a group of palace maids and grandmothers standing in the open space at the palace gate from a distance, as well as the soft sedan chairs of the palace concubines. ”
Wang An had already gotten the news, and he had a bottom in his heart just by looking at it, and he whispered in Feng Jintian's ear: "Your Majesty, I heard that the concubine has an order, and since yesterday morning, all the harem concubines have to come to the Xia Yu Palace to greet her." ”
"Hello, please? Why? ”
"This ...... This ......"
"Say!"
"The concubine said that after the emperor was not established, she was the lord of the harem, and it was natural for all the concubines to ask him every day, so she ......" (to be continued.) )
