Chapter 23: The farce ends
In the end, with the consent of the Queen Mother, Concubine Shu had to stay.
"Liu Cairen, let's talk about it, what does Concubine Lan have to do with Concubine Shu."
Coincidentally, the concubine had seen a similar scene. It's just that I saw a palace maid holding a rag doll in front of the gate of Yaohua Palace that day, but the concubine didn't care about it soon after she first entered the palace. ”
"It's just nonsense. Liu Cairen, what are you doing at the door of the palace if you have nothing to do, isn't it out of nowhere. ”
"The lady lady is wrong. The concubine just entered the palace for a long time, and when she saw that the sisters around her were all favored by the emperor, she became depressed. I also smelled the deep favor of the emperor, so I wanted to visit. It's just that when I arrived at the door, I was afraid that my identity was not good, so I hesitated to give up. ”
Liu Ruyue looked resentful, her eyes were lost, and she lowered her head with an embroidered handkerchief as if to wipe her tears. The green voice behind him supported Liu Ruyue with one hand, and gently smoothed it with the other hand, as if comforting. This scene fell in the eyes of the concubines, and they all sighed in their hearts, why don't they want to be favored by the emperor as deeply as Concubine Shu, even if it is only half a point.
The queen sat there indifferently, as long as she thought that Concubine Shu was not happy, the expression on her face was indescribably happy.
"Your Majesty, if you send some people to search for Concubine Shu, it won't take long."
"Your Majesty, the little princess is weak and can't be disturbed."
"If this palace is not mistaken, the little princess lives in the side hall, just be careful when searching. If Concubine Shu still wants to stop it at this time, she can really implement that this matter is related to you. ”
Concubine Shu was dumbfounded, and the queen waved her hand.
"You go to Yaohua Palace, but you have to search carefully, remember not to disturb the little princess to rest."
"Slaves obey."
The eunuchs who followed first quietly looked up, saw that the emperor was expressionless, and then lowered their heads and moved neatly to receive the order.
Silence returned to the entire Yuyue Palace. Liu Ruyue whispered, and the green voice nodded knowingly, dragging the small table back. After a while, Midori and the small table dragged the plate forward, and the plate was full of strawberries.
"The concubine has nothing to do on weekdays, so she tries to make snacks with fresh fruits, and add ice cubes to be cold and sweet, sour and delicious, which is a good way to relieve the heat in summer. If the emperor, the queen mother, and the queen mother don't dislike it, please try it, and all the sisters can also try it. ”
It's summer again, it's almost noon, and the strawberries are red and tender, and the moist inside is served with ice cubes, which looks very delicious. Green Yin willingly handed the prepared 3 small bowls of strawberries with ice to the emperor, the queen mother and the queen respectively.
The Queen Mother tried it, and as Liu Ruyue said, the whole person was cool and comfortable after the entrance, and the wrinkles between the eyebrows were unconsciously smoothed. Even the emperor nodded, and his favorability rose by 5 again, jumping to 10.
Concubine Yan, who was sitting on the side, pursed her lips and secretly said that Liu Ruyue was a sycophant, and she stammered all the time and no matter the occasion. Let her surrender herself and share the strawberries on the plate with those concubines? Just kidding, she wouldn't do it. The saliva swallowed unconsciously, and his eyes finally fell on the queen's seat.
The queen smiled lightly and asked the palace maid behind her to hand a small bowl of strawberries to Concubine Yan. In her opinion, the most unlikely thing in this harem to covet the queen position is Concubine Yan. With the relationship of the Queen Mother alone, it is absolutely impossible.
Concubine Yan liked this taste deeply after trying it, but unfortunately there was no 'strawberry' in the fruits in the palace.
"Liu Cairen, where did you get this fruit, this palace has never seen it before."
The other concubines also tried it, it was really delicious, and they all looked at Liu Ruyue, but a trace of disdain flashed in Concubine Shu's eyes.
"Concubine Yan hasn't seen it, this fruit is just something that ordinary people can plant at will, it is very easy to ripen, even if it is thrown away in March or May, it will grow into a large area, and it will not be regarded as a treasure to pay tribute. Liu Cairen let the emperor eat it, and he didn't know what he was thinking. ”
Qian Yimo frowned when he heard this, and his favorability fell back to 5, and Liu Ruyue rolled her eyes in her heart.
"As the so-called hoeing day is noon, every grain is hard. In this world, from the Son of Heaven to the beggars, no one does not rely on rice to survive, Concubine Yan's words are not to say that the emperor will not enter, and he will become an immortal as soon as possible. ”
"What kind of crime should you be guilty of daring to curse the emperor!"
"The lady can laugh. The concubine is just a kind heart to take out what she thinks is good and share it with everyone, even the ice cubes, which are specially left from the poor example, but in the end it becomes a curse? ”
At this moment, a eunuch walked into the Yuyue Palace, holding a box in his hand and presenting it.
"Slaves see the emperor, see the queen mother, see the queen mother. This was found by the minions in the dormitory of the concubine. ”
The palace maid beside the queen stepped forward to take the box and gently broke it open. The 'click......' box was opened, and it was the so-called cursed rag doll that was ushered in.
The palace maid picked up the rag doll and flipped it over, and the eight characters of the birthday on the back were obviously exposed, and the concubine in the distance suddenly got up with a look of disbelief.
"It can't be!"
"Lady Concubine, the evidence is above, what should you explain."
After all, Concubine Shu was standing in the palace, and after seeing strong winds and waves, she quickly regained her stability.
"This matter is definitely someone framed the concubine, otherwise how could there be such a coincidence in today's affairs, please let the emperor know."
Qian Yimo nodded to Concubine Shu as a sign of comfort.
"I believe in Lady Lady, Lady Lady would never do such a thing. In any case, Lan Concubine has a miscarriage and can no longer be recovered, so the matter is over. As for these two minions, it is really unforgivable for the sake of seeking the purpose of confusing right and wrong, intending to deceive and play tricks on the master. Drag it down and kill it now! ”
After hearing this, Qiao Xiang and the father-in-law of the Sundries Mansion suddenly had no blood on their faces, and Qiaoxiang fell down powerlessly and was dragged away by the eunuchs who were in custody, but the father-in-law of the Sundries Mansion looked desperate and suddenly knelt down.
"Ask the emperor to spare his life, the emperor to spare his life, for the sake of the slave who has served the emperor, spare the slave's life."
"Spare your life, if all the servants in the harem do the same, where will I put my majesty. Jun no jokes, drag out. ”
"Concubine Niangniang, please save the minions, save the minions......"
Qian Yimo looked coldly: "Knock it out and drag it away." ”
The father-in-law of the Sundries Mansion was instantly knocked out and fainted, and the concubine looked at the father-in-law in front of her, her eyes flashed with a hint of anger, and then she smiled proudly at the queen.
"If there is nothing to do, the concubine will retire first."
"The queen mother also worked hard all morning, it was time to go back to the palace to rest, and the sons and daughters retired first."
So, the emperor and the concubine left the Yuyue Palace with a group of people, and the queen mother followed. Only the queen who fell at the end had a tense face, ten fingers clenched, and her expression was indescribably terrifying.
