Chapter Forty-Eight: Asking for Grace Again
It was dinner time at night, and Wang Ningxuan ordered someone to go to Chengguang Hall to invite Xi Ze to come to the Middle Palace for dinner, saying that there was great news.
Xi Ze heard the news soon after, and when he heard that the Queen Mother had agreed to lift Yun Tian's grounding order, he couldn't help but be overjoyed: "This is really good, the Queen Mother is finally gracious, and Yun Tian will never mess with me again in the future!" That's great! That's great! It's wonderful...... Hahaha......"
Xi Zelong's face was happy, and Wang Ningxuan's heart also flashed with relief: "Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the imperial concubine!" ”
Xi Ze turned his head to look at Wang Ningxuan carefully, as if he hadn't taken a closer look at his queen for a long time, at this moment, I saw that although her makeup was exquisite, there was still a shallow haggard lingering on her dignified and decent smile, making her become vain, as if standing in the clouds, Xi Ze slightly retracted his smile, and said slowly: "This matter, it's really hard to be a queen!" Thank you! ”
She still answered softly, as if the previous mustard was completely absent: "The emperor and the queen mother and son are connected, and the concubine just said good things, which is not a merit!" ”
Xi Zewan'er: "I said before, you will have a reward for doing this, what reward do you want?" ”
He still remembered the promise he had made, and Wang Ningxuan was full of joy. She raised her eyes and looked into Xi Ze's eyes, and asked affectionately, "Your Majesty, is it really okay to give any reward?" ”
Xi Ze responded very happily: "Of course, let's say it!" ”
In the distance, there was a dazzling light shining on the road ahead, and she saw Shen Luyi walking towards her in the blue long-tailed robe, she smiled, and she stood up. Qianqian Fu said: "The concubine wants to ask the emperor for a favor!" ”
"Okay...... Xi Ze helped her up and said kindly, "We are husband and wife." It's easy to say anything, you don't have to make a big salute, just sit down and say it! ”
Wang Ningxuan sat down, looked at Xi Ze, and said, "The concubine wants to ask the emperor for mercy, forgive the green clothes, and lift her grounding order!" May I? ”
Xi Ze's face changed when he heard this. Shen Luyi has been grounded for so long, Wang Ningxuan has never mentioned this matter, why is it suddenly mentioned now? Xi Ze said angrily: "Such a good opportunity. Why don't you take the opportunity to ask me for a prince or something? How good it is to have a prince, it just so happened that the Ye family gave birth to a prince, and I brought him to you to raise, so that you can have a prince like Yun Tian. Good no good? ”
Wang Ningxuan was taken aback. Ye's children raised her, this is really not an excuse for Xi Ze to perfunctory her?
Wang Ningxuan was full of surprise: "Didn't the emperor already promise his concubines to hand over the Ye family's children to be raised by Green Yi?" How could a concubine ask for it? The concubine already has Chenxin, the concubine has a child, she is already content, and she doesn't dare to covet the prince! ”
Xi Ze felt disappointed when he heard this: "It's green clothes again?!" Why do you only think about her and don't care about yourself at all? ”
Hasn't the queen always been submissive? How did you suddenly become so stubborn?
Wang Ningxuan seemed to want to say again: "But ......"
Xi Ze interrupted with some impatience: "Concubine Jing is like that, how can she raise the prince?" Chengyou refused to eat after her, and kept making trouble. She herself is restless, can she raise the prince well? Can I rest assured? ”
Wang Ningxuan didn't dare to mention it again. had to only talk about the grounding, and she tentatively spoke: "Although the green clothes are young and vigorous, and she is not as calm as the concubines, she has no bad intentions......
"Lu'er has changed!" Xi Ze raised his hand to interrupt her words, frowned and said, "There are some things, you don't know, I don't want to say, Lu'er has changed, she is no longer the Lu'er she used to be, she was damaged by the Ye family, she is now like those scheming women in the deep palace, it is really disappointing to me!" ”
Wang Ningxuan was helpless, so he had to persuade her: "Even if the green clothes are wrong in a thousand ways, how long have you grounded her, Your Majesty, she also knows that she is wrong, and she has also reflected, begging the emperor to be merciful and let her out!" ”
When Xi Ze heard this, he sighed and said, "Why do you have to intercede for her?" ”
A little bit of starlight flickered at the bottom of Wang Ningxuan's eyes, infinite expectations were contained in it, full and eager, in a vain sight, Wang Ningxuan said slowly: "Green clothes, she is the concubine's companion in this harem!" In the past years, it was all green clothes who were accompanying the concubines, and the only people in the entire harem concubines could believe in were green clothes, and the emperor grounded the green clothes, and the concubines were equal to having no companions, and who could they tell their hearts? ”
Xi Ze was stunned when he heard this, he was busy with government affairs, and he couldn't get the rain and dew evenly, most of the women in this deep palace were lonely!
For the first time, Xi Ze felt that Wang Ningxuan told him about the secret complaints and expectations hidden in the deepest part of his heart.
Her hope was simple: just a companion!
Wang Ningxuan said again: "Your Majesty, the concubine wants a companion, you reward the concubine, okay?" ”
Xi Ze sighed silently, frowned, and said, "Yun Tian's grounding order has just been lifted, so you let me release the green clothes, what if there is trouble again?" ”
Wang Ningxuan hurriedly said: "The concubine can assure the emperor that as long as the emperor lifts the ban on green clothes, the concubines will definitely make green clothes convince the concubines, live in harmony with the imperial concubines, and never cause trouble!" ”
Xi Ze looked straight into the bottom of her eyes, as if he didn't believe it: "Really? Are you really sure? ”
Wang Ningxuan nodded extremely firmly, and said: "Yes, the concubine is absolutely sure, this time, it will definitely make the green clothes obey the concubine!" must also return the emperor to a calm harem! ”
Xi Ze was silent when he heard this, as if he was groaning, and he was silent for a long time.
Wang Ningxuan couldn't help but hang his heart again, looked at Xi Ze with expectation, and said: "Your Majesty, you can change your mistakes, you can be kind, give Green Yi a chance, no matter what, her love for you is not fake!" ”
Xi Ze seemed to be moved, and finally said: "Okay, since you want this reward, then it's up to you, but tomorrow won't work, you have to make Yun Tian happy first!" In this way, just three days later, three days later, I will issue an order to lift Lu'er's grounding order, hoping that she will really repent and never have anything to do in the future! ”
Wang Ningxuan was overjoyed, within one day, she asked for two great favors one after another, it was really a great joy, she smiled brightly, and smiled extremely happily: "Thank you concubines for the emperor's kindness!" The emperor can rest assured, there are concubines looking at the green clothes, and they will never let the harem have a storm, although the emperor can deal with the affairs of the previous dynasty with peace of mind! ”
Xi Ze sighed, shook his head, and said, "Your heart is just too soft, always thinking about others, rarely thinking about yourself!" Alas......"
Wang Ningxuan smiled more gently: "The concubines have the favor of the emperor and the queen mother, they don't lack anything, and they have Chenxin Chenghuan on their knees, they are already content, if they can ask for some grace for others, it can be regarded as a merit!" ”
Xi Ze stretched his waist and said, "Okay, I'm tired, go to bed!" ”
Seeing this, Wang Ningxuan stopped and came to serve Xi Ze to change clothes.
