Chapter 14: The Comeback
However, Jin Guifei's complexion did not change in the slightest because of Concubine Yan's rebuke, she was still smiling, she did not look at Concubine Yan, but at Emperor Jin: "Your Majesty, the concubine just saw that the queen mother happened to order peach blossom makeup today, and she remembered that Mrs. Peach Blossom was the best at peach blossom makeup, and she didn't mean anything else!" ”
Emperor Jin looked at Lan Jun, and saw that Lan Jun was really wearing peach blossom makeup, which made her more and more youthful and graceful, and her appearance was radiant, so he didn't say anything.
Seeing this, Jin Guifei was quite proud in her heart, and turned her eyes to look at Concubine Yan again, and after a moment of conversation, she said unrelentingly: "It was originally a word of praise for the queen's appearance, how could Concubine Yan's sister think crookedly when she heard Mrs. Peach Blossom, but she was disrespectful to the queen in private?" She paused slightly, and the tone of her last sentence suddenly became scathing, "Concubine Yan, you are really bold enough!" ”
When Concubine Yan heard this, she immediately counterattacked: "Sister Guifei has the power of the six palaces in her hands, and she has always been the most respected, and her seniority in this harem is the deepest among all the sisters, why is she so careless in her words today, and she doesn't know how to avoid it?" If you say that your sister is open-minded, let alone that your sister doesn't believe it, I'm afraid it's far-fetched to call anyone to listen! ”
"Does Bengong's words sound far-fetched, or is it that Concubine Yan's sister is forceful and deliberately misinterpreted?" Jin Guifei was full of anger and did not back down, "This palace is talking about the 'four beauties' of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, but Concubine Yan's sister alone proposed Mrs. Peach Blossom and emphasized it, what is her intention?" said that the palace added to the queen's mother, according to the palace, it was Concubine Yan that you have coveted the phoenix seat for a long time, and now you are hopeless after seeing the seal, and you are resentful in your heart, so you will speak disrespectfully, and you also intend to frame the palace! Since you know that this palace has the power of the assistant six palaces in your hands, how can you dare to be presumptuous? Now, how can this palace turn a blind eye and perfunctory this matter?! Bold Wei, are you guilty? Get down on your knees yet! ”
"Enough!" Emperor Jin angrily interrupted the argument between the two concubines.
Concubine Yan and Concubine Jin were silent when they heard this.
Concubine Yan didn't expect that in front of the new queen, Jin Guifei really dared to move out of the power of the assistant six palaces, so arrogant, almost wiped all the face of the new queen, as if she was the main master of the harem, and her face couldn't help but turn blue and white for a while. And Jin Guifei also found that she was in the way of Concubine Yan, her words were lost, and her face turned pale in an instant.
Suddenly, the situation became very embarrassing, the atmosphere in the hall condensed to the freezing point, as the sound of Emperor Jin's heavy breathing gradually became clear, everyone hung their hearts one after another, everyone carefully their own behavior, did not dare to make a time, the entire Chaofeng Hall was as quiet as no man's land.
Seeing that Emperor Jin was about to have a seizure, at this moment, King Yu smiled a few wisps of laughter, went out of the line to the end, and said slowly: "Father Emperor is angry!" The queen is angry! Erchen thinks that the concubine and the concubine are both praising the queen and have no malicious intent. The concubine praised the queen's appearance, graceful and luxurious, unparalleled in the world. And the Peach Blossom Lady mentioned by Concubine Yan, as far as Erchen knows, she is not only famous for her peach blossom makeup in later generations, but also for the reputation of assisting the monarch and being called a generation of virtuous queens, so Concubine Yan's praise is the queen's virtue and talent. Guifei Niangniang and Concubine Yan Niangniang, one praises the beauty of the queen mother without precedents, and the other praises the queen's mother's mother, which can be described as a perfect match, but the aspects are different, so it causes misunderstanding! ”
Everyone in the world praises King Yu for "having a spring breeze on his face and a graceful demeanor", and now it seems to be true. Yun Qian looked at King Yu, who was still calm and calm in His Royal Highness, and secretly praised in his heart: Such a decent relief not only calmed the anger of Emperor Jin, but also appropriately filled Lan Jun's face, and at the same time, it can be regarded as selling Jin Guifei and Concubine Yan a big favor, which is really a triple win.
Of course, in the face of such a gorgeous step paved by King Yu, how could Concubine Jin and Concubine Yan not be interested in going down the trend, so as soon as King Yu's voice fell, the two hurriedly nodded "yes".
Seeing this, Emperor Jin slightly suppressed his anger, and turned a blind eye to the past: "I see, since the two concubines have such thoughts, they should have something to say, don't let others misunderstand!" After a pause, he turned his head to look at Lan Jun again, secretly clenched Lan Jun's hand, and changed the topic with a pleasant face, "Queen, you see, this is the most handsome of all the princes of me, although he has no achievements in political affairs, but he is rich in learning and five cars, talented and eight buckets, all of which are fine in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and his words are the most kind and appropriate, and he has always won my heart!" ”
Hearing this, Lan Jun reluctantly pulled out a smile, carefully looked at King Yu standing under His Royal Highness, and said: "Dragons give birth to dragons, phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, how can the dragon born by the emperor not be handsome?" According to the concubines, His Royal Highness King Yu is not only outstanding in style, full of economy, so smart and accessible, knowledgeable and humble, it is really exemplary! After the concubines came to the imperial capital, they often heard that many young women in the imperial capital were devoted to King Yu, and they all wished to marry into the palace of King Yu. ”
"Haha......" Emperor Jin laughed when he heard this: "But isn't it, this kid is weak and has never married a wife, and he picks and chooses, I don't know how many women have been 'scourged'!" ”
"I'm afraid I haven't met a confidant!" Lan Jun said with a smile, "The matter of marriage is also in a hurry, and it is not impossible for a man to get married later, the emperor does not need to be in a hurry, according to the concubines, His Royal Highness King Yu is so good, he will definitely be able to find a beautiful and virtuous woman as a wife!" ”
When King Yu heard this, he shook it again to the end, and said more modestly: "The queen has won the award!" The son inherited Mu Long'en, and he had no talent to govern the country, so he was so ashamed that he didn't dare to make a mistake! I don't care much about marrying a wife, but I just want to dabble in the words of the ancients in my spare time, hoping to use it for me, in order to cultivate my self-cultivation, and it can be regarded as 'being good at my own body'! ”
Lan Jun and Emperor Jin were very comfortable listening to this, and Lan Jun couldn't help but nod approvingly to King Yu.
Yun Tian also admired King Yu, the prince of the Jin Kingdom was not only power, fame and fortune in his eyes, and the King Yu in front of him did not seem to have such ambitions, and he was also the only one among the kings.
That night, Yun Tilt and the new queen stayed in Fengyi Palace together.
The clouds stand in the East Warm Pavilion of Fengyi Palace, and through the window, overlooking the Jin Palace.
I saw a clear moon, hanging on the branches, in the blue sky, the stars loomed, far and deep.
She remembered that a year ago, she also had infinite reverie, standing under the palace lamp, looking at the Yan Palace.
At that time, the Yan Palace was not so illuminated by countless red lanterns as if it was still daytime, but a few eight-treasure chandeliers were scattered under the corridor to enjoy the hazy beauty of the bright moon.
At that time, the Yanhuang Palace was not so at that time was covered by the tall plane trees full of stars, and the spacious courtyard was full of peach trees, and the peach blossoms were fragrant and refreshing.
At that time, the Yan Palace was not so shrouded in strictness, and the maids and servants must be surrounded by the side, playing and laughing, and enjoying themselves.
Yun Qian thought about this, and couldn't help but cry.
In this way, even if she stands on a high place, she is just succumbing to fate, like a bird in a cage, and she can't help herself.
Thinking of this, Yun Tian couldn't help but murmur softly: "Time is not with me, how can I truly control my destiny?" ”
