Chapter 108: Concubine De intervenes
Fengtian Temple-
Jing Shengwu stood respectfully at the position of the emperor's lower right, and Jing Zhengming stood at the position of the emperor's lower left.
Because whether it is Jing Zhengming or Jing Shengwu, it can be seen that the state of His Majesty the Emperor is very bad now, and there is a strange gray color, which makes Chu Heng's already slightly old look even more tired.
"Alright, I'm fine, let you worry." After a while, Chu Heng's spirit was obviously a little restored, and he said softly to Jing Zhengming and Jing Shengwu.
"It's okay for Weichen and the princess, the emperor must take care of the dragon body." Jing Zhengming immediately bowed his head respectfully and said, his words were full of worry about the emperor.
"This time you went to the Dark Dragon Mountain to worship the mountain, which can be regarded as a great achievement, I want to reward you well!" Chu Heng saw Jing Shengwu standing in place with his hands bowed softly next to him, his eyes flashed at the moment, and he held his beard and said with a smile.
At that moment, Li Ya, the old eunuch beside Chu Heng, immediately stepped forward and respectfully read out the holy decree, "Fengtian carrier, the emperor said, the eldest princess Changle, go to the mountain to worship the meritorious service, give a hundred taels of gold, a thousand taels of silver, and another princess's mansion, live next to the mansion of the Marquis of Qi'an, Marquis Jing Zhengming, Chu Yu Chu Yu, escort the eldest princess to worship the mountain to worship the meritorious, give a thousand taels of silver, Qin this!" ”
After speaking, the father-in-law looked at Jing Zhengming and Jing Shengwu with a smile on his face, "Princess, Lord Qi Anhou, why don't you hurry up and receive the decree to thank you?" ”
Jing Shengwu and Jing Zhengming glanced at each other, and immediately stepped forward to bow down very respectfully, shouting long live!
"Get up, now you are all extremely human ministers, one person is above ten thousand, and I have nothing to reward, so I will reward you with these gold and silver, and talk about my heart, after all, you have made great achievements this time, and I will not break my word." Chu Heng smiled and gave Jing Shengwu and Jing Zhengming a flat body. Said happily.
"Father, thank you for your father's favor, but this princess's mansion is too precious, and the sons dare not accept it. After all, this time the sons and daughters sacrificed to the dark dragon mountain for their father, and it was also within the sons and daughters, so why should they reward the sons and daughters like this. ”
After Jing Shengwu got up, she looked at Chu Heng softly and said, she bowed down respectfully. The palace dress with blue lotus color gradually dyed set off the slenderness of her figure even more, and only a gilded silver hairpin was obliquely inserted on her head, and there was no other decoration.
It became more and more that she was quiet and calm, like a lotus flower that gently came out of the water, out of the mud without staining, with a noble bearing, like a mountain top cloud, with the requirements of Jing Shengwu from above and below, so that Emperor Chu Heng couldn't help but open his eyes with interest and looked Jing Shengwu up and down.
"Oh, girl. This princess's mansion is something that many princesses can't ask for, why don't you want it? ”
As a princess, she can't be the same as the prince, she will have her own prince's mansion to live in when she becomes an adult, on the contrary, the princess will live in the palace with her mother when she becomes an adult, for example, Jing Shengwu is now the princess of Changle, and according to her position, she is the righteous daughter of the queen's mother. Naturally, he wanted to live in the Changle Palace with the queen mother.
The princess's mansion is the royal reward for the meritorious princess, which allows the princess to live alone in the princess's mansion after she becomes an adult. Such a reward is naturally thousands of times more affordable than gold and silver.
However, Jing Shengwu looked at Chu Heng's inquiring look and still shook his head firmly.
"Father, the son has a reluctant request, and wants to return to the Marquis of Qi'an Mansion to live for a period of time. Serve your parents. ”
Jing Shengwu didn't even look at Jing Zhengming's warning look, and bowed deeply to Chu Heng on the dragon couch. Looking at the girl who was lying on the ground, with a thin body but a strange persistence, Chu Heng's gaze gradually deepened.
In the royal family, what is most valued is the power of the throne, and the least valued is family affection, in this deep palace, there are not many people who live for their power, they have long forgotten what feelings are.
And in the face of the temptation of the princess's mansion, she can still insist on what she thinks in her heart, and she insists so much for the sake of an aunt who raised herself, I am afraid that there are few people in this palace.
Thinking of this, Chu Heng was silent for a while. Looking at the girl lying on the ground, Fang Cai said indifferently, "It's hard for you to still have this piece of filial piety, now I will reward you for living in Jingfu temporarily, but you will return to the palace in half a month, after all, you are now the eldest princess, and it is not good to keep in Jingfu all the time." ”
"Thank you, Father!" Hearing this, Jing Shengwu was overjoyed, and immediately kowtowed, there were tears flashing in his cool eyes, and Jing Zhengming and the emperor next to him were stunned.
The emperor had a few perfunctory words with Jing Shengwu and Jing Zhengming, and was about to send them off, when he heard Li Ya's old eunuch's report, "Concubine De has arrived ......"
Before Li Ya's words fell, he only smelled the fragrant wind for a while, and Concubine De's gorgeous purple skirt appeared in the side palace of this Fengtian Palace. Seeing this golden-honored and noble Concubine De Niangniang, Rao is Jing Shengwu couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Concubine De Niangniang wore a three-layer silk gold inlaid Nanzhu palace crown, and there was a Luanfeng hairpin obliquely on it, and her black hair was tied up by this crown and hairpin, which happened to be coiled into the style of a hibiscus bun. In this bun, there is a huge and round Nanzhu in each depression, which is dazzling at the end.
And Concubine De Niangniang was wearing a light purple peony hundred butterflies and a rainbow beaded gauze skirt, tied with a cool white jade jasper belt, with a rose flounder pisces on it, and a pair of Shu brocade shoes under her feet, which made her more and more gorgeous.
Concubine De stepped forward to greet the emperor, "I've seen Your Majesty." ”
After giving a salute, he walked to Chu Heng's side delicately, held two pink fists, and hammered his waist and legs.
"Aifei, why are you here, why, but what rare treasures have you fallen in love with in my palace? I have all the good things here, but I give you everything I can give you, and there is nothing else to do. Chu Heng also enjoyed the service of this concubine very much, and replied with a smile at the moment.
Concubine De is in this palace, and the emperor's favor has long been approved by him, and she has the right to enter and leave the imperial study at will. Even when Emperor Chu Heng met with some ministers alone, Concubine De could enter this imperial study.
However, because Concubine De is also a smart person in Bingxue, although she did not stop her from coming in, she was not very happy with Concubine De's interruption, so Concubine De was always very well-behaved and waited outside the palace. This also made the emperor like this obedient concubine even more.
"Your Majesty, is the concubine such a greedy person in your heart, the concubine just heard that the eldest princess had returned from worshipping the mountain and came here to visit. Otherwise, the concubine doesn't know when she will be able to meet the eldest princess. ”
Concubine De said coquettishly to Chu Heng, but her beautiful eyes swept over Jing Shengwu who was standing underground next to her, intentionally or unintentionally, and then continued to beat Chu Heng's back as if nothing happened, seeing Concubine De's gaze. Jing Shengwu's heart sank.
It seems that this Concubine De is coming for herself, otherwise, what does her eyes mean?
Although he wanted to think about it, Jing Shengwu still stepped forward softly and bowed to Concubine De, "Erchen Changle, I have seen Concubine De, Concubine De Niangniang is blessed with Jin'an." ”
Next to him, Jing Zhengming also bowed, and then Shi Shiran retired.
After all, Concubine De is Chu Heng's concubine. Jing Shengwu is Chu Heng's princess, which can be regarded as a family reunion, what kind of excitement is he making do here? Chu Heng naturally allowed Jing Zhengming to retreat, after all, he didn't have anything to command now.
Jing Shengwu saw that Jing Zhengming had retired, so he also stepped forward and bowed softly, "Back to my father, my son has just returned from the Dark Dragon Mountain, and my body is still feeling a little tired, if my father doesn't have anything to order." Erchen wanted to go back to the Marquis of Qi'an's mansion to rest first. ”
"Wait." Before Chu Heng could speak, a coquettish female voice interrupted what Jing Shengwu said. She looked up suspiciously, and it was Concubine De who was sitting sideways on the dragon couch, looking at her with a smile on her face.
"陛xià. The concubine's coming today is a little involved with this Princess Changle, why don't you wait for the concubine and Princess Changle to finish talking, and then let her go back, okay? ”
Hearing this, Chu Heng closed his eyes tiredly. "Since you think it's good, do as you say."
Concubine De immediately thanked the emperor with a smile, stepped off the dragon couch, stepped forward and pulled up Jing Shengwu, who was kneeling on the ground, and circled her a few times.
"Tut-tut, it's really a beautiful embryo with a national color and fragrance, it really makes people remember it, no wonder this Princess Changle can arouse so many people's thoughts, the concubines are itching in their hearts when they see it, it seems that our emperor's vision is good!"
As she spoke, Concubine De took off a gold-inlaid jade jade bracelet and brought it to Jing Shengwu's wrist with her own hands.
"The first time I officially met you, there was nothing to reward you in a hurry, so I gave you this bracelet, and I also talked about a little bit of the heart of the palace." After Concubine De brought this bracelet to Jing Shengwu, she said with a delicate smile.
"Thank you for your love." Jing Shengwu said, bowing to Concubine De again. Looking at Concubine De's smiling look, she really felt a little hard to believe, when did this Concubine De become so polite?
Looking at Concubine De's hypocritical gaze, Jing Shengwu always had a bad premonition in her heart.
Sure enough, before Jing Shengwu could speak again, Concubine De Niangniang walked in front of Na Chu Heng and knelt down very respectfully: "Back to Your Majesty, now the younger brother of the concubine's family is the third son of the concubine's father. ”
Speaking of this, Concubine De Niangniang looked at Jing Shengwu in the back, covered her lips and smiled, and said softly, "But that day in the Mingyue Tower, the concubine's younger brother saw the little girl next to Princess Changle, and he actually remembered it in his heart, and he never forgot it, did you say that it was a god-given good fate." ”
"The concubine looks at the girl of Princess Changle now that it is time for her to be married, why don't you let them become a good thing, what does Your Majesty think?"
As soon as Concubine De said this, Jing Shengwu's eyes widened suddenly, she actually wanted Xueyue to marry the only son of the Zhao family!
Zhao Shangshu, the secretary of the military department, now has four children.
The eldest daughter was going to enter the palace to be elected as a concubine, but she fell ill on the day she was elected, and she had no choice but to send the second daughter to the palace to replace the eldest sister and be selected.
There is also a third son, that is, Zhao Shangshu's only son, Zhao Liuqing, although Zhao Liuqing's name is good, but he is a nasty embryo, it has long been spread in this Shangjing, Zhao Liuqing robbed the people's daughters, and it is not uncommon to molest women on the street, which is simply a disaster that the mud can't support the wall.
Now, Concubine De wants to stuff Xueyue to Zhao Liuqing's side?
"Oh, it's not an insult to her like this, I'm afraid that there are still some grievances against the concubine's brother."
"Princess Changle is like a fairy, and the girl who serves her must also be a top girl, how can it be regarded as a grievance." Looking at Concubine De's respectful and gentle posture, Emperor Chu Heng also frowned a little embarrassed. Thinking about it, he also knew that Zhao Liuqing's reputation in this capital was really bad, and Jing Shengwu was afraid that he would not let go.
But this Concubine De has never asked the emperor for anything, and now she lowered her posture so much to ask her brother for a marriage, but I am afraid that even the emperor is embarrassed to refuse anything, so at the moment, Chu Heng's brows were tightly furrowed, and he did not answer immediately.
Looking at the emperor's embarrassed look, Concubine De knew that most of what she asked for was about to come true. I can't help but feel secretly proud, little hoof, if you dare to refuse at this time, it is a disobedience!
Concubine De naturally knows best what kind of person her unsuccessful brother Zhao Liuqing is, and she didn't really want the girl called Xueyue to enter the house, what she did today was just to ask Jing Shengwu to bear the following charges first.
"Father, the son has something to say." At this time, Jing Shengwu, who had not made a sound, said softly.
When she opened her mouth, she attracted Chu Heng's attention.
"Oh, what Changle wants to say, just say it." Chu Heng smiled indifferently and said.
Seeing this scene, Concubine De only felt bad in her heart, if this Chu Heng agreed with her opinion, Fang Cai directly agreed with her proposal, where can she wait until now, and let Jing Shengwu speak? If Jing Shengwu really spoke, he was afraid that his request would not be fulfilled smoothly. (To be continued.) )>
