Chapter Ninety-Four: Resentment
Li Yunu did this thing cleanly, who knew that Lai Zhaoyi would be killed on the way, and she said that she was deliberate, if it wasn't for Concubine Zheng Guifei to help say something, I am afraid that Your Majesty would be angry and blame herself. Although he didn't call Liqing to reprimand, but the punishment couldn't be escaped, and when she returned to the palace, Concubine Hou Xian was almost angry.
When he entered the palace, he overturned the porcelain vase placed at the palace gate, and the crisp sound of the broken porcelain vase frightened the palace people to kneel on the ground, for fear that Concubine Hou Xian would be angry. The palace people didn't dare to make a sound, but Jun Yu, who was waiting with him, dared to step forward to comfort one or two at this time, and walked lightly to Concubine Hou Xian's side, looking at the Niangniang who was sitting on the table angry because of anger, Jun Yu said softly: "Niang Niang extinguishes the fire, for Lai Zhaoyi and Li Yunu are angry with their own body is not worth it." ”
Afraid that Concubine Hou Xian would really be angry with her body because of them, Jun Yu could only persuade on the side, but this persuasion could not make Concubine Hou Xian extinguish the fire at all, but became more and more angry: "That Lai Zhaoyi is really more and more hateful, and I don't think she is so scheming when I look at it in the past, but now I have taken advantage of this matter to betray her in front of Your Majesty." That woman, she shouldn't have looked at her like she had no quarrel and left her love, and she ended it early and there was no such thing as today. ”
In the past, when I entered the palace, I saw that Lai Zhaoyi was not happy, and then she became a virtuous concubine, because she felt that Lai Zhaoyi was also harmful, so she didn't chase after her, but today she turned it over in her hands. The more she talked, the more angry she felt, and Concubine Hou Xian even overturned the tea bowl on the table.
The teacup fell to the ground, and the crisp sound started again, Jun Yu hurriedly glanced at the palace and motioned for the palace people to come up and clean up, and then said: "It's all the mother's kindness that didn't start, who would know that this Lai Zhaoyi is a person who doesn't know how to lift, and today he actually killed the mother in front of His Majesty." But the mother is also angry. Fortunately, His Majesty still felt sorry for Niangniang, but he didn't punish Niangniang, but it was the Imperial Daughter Li. Even if he was wronged, in the end, he didn't ask His Majesty to reprimand the following offenders to stay in this palace. If this concubine is left in the palace. There will be no future in this life, and when the time comes, I will tell the attendants to take good care of it, and the anger of the mother can also be eliminated. ”
Junyu's remarks were also to reduce Concubine Hou Xian's anger, but the effect was not very good, Concubine Hou Xian said: "The palace has not been punished, didn't Your Majesty punish the palace for one month?" This month's grounding is a great punishment for her, since she entered the palace to this day, she has never suffered such grievances, and now the grounding is a month to see Liqing, and the resentment in Concubine Houxian's heart can be imagined.
Of course, she felt that she was wronged by the two of them to be grounded for a month. He sat there complaining, but said on the side: "Niangniang, anyway, the Imperial Lady Li also fell to that shape because of the grass, and the grass was rewarded by the mother, and the harem concubines were all present at that time, even if Your Majesty loved the mother, she couldn't protect her clearly." The forbidden Niangniang's feet this month are also for other concubines to see, but it's not really ruthless to want the Niangniang to be wronged, the Niangniang is not going to be sad, otherwise the body of Your Majesty will be distressed. ”
It was these words that made Concubine Hou Xian calm down a little, and she was no longer as angry as Fang Cai. Seeing that there were still a few grievances, she sat on the seat with a little grievance and said: "Of course, this palace knows that Your Majesty will not really be willing to punish this palace, but when I think of Lai Zhaoyi's slut's casual salute after death, this palace is angry. ”
A winner-should-look. How not to make Concubine Hou Xian angry, just when he said it, he saw someone from the palace bending down and walking in quickly, and then knelt down in front of Concubine Hou Xian and bowed: "Yu Niangniang." My Fair Lady is out asking to see her. ”
"Nope." Seeing that someone asked to see her at this time, Concubine Hou Xian, who had not yet extinguished the fire, was not in that mood. It's just that the angry way is gone. And seeing that the mother was still unhappy, Jun Yu followed the words of the virtuous concubine, and then looked at the palace maid and reprimanded: "How can you be so ignorant. The mother is not feeling well, but she can ask people to enter and disturb at this time, so she should not be sent away. ”
Listening to Junyu's reprimand, the palace maid was also afraid, when she knocked again and again, she got up and wanted to go outside to send Qin Shujiu away, who knew that she had just gotten up and had not retreated before she called Concubine Hou Xian to stop.
Sitting up straight, he leaned forward and said, "Who did you just say?" ”
"If you go back to your mother, it's a beautiful woman."
"My Fair Lady." Murmuring slightly, after muttering, Concubine Hou Xian looked at Jun Yu and asked, "What do you say this fair beauty is coming here for?" Concubine Hou Xian asked, but Junyu shook her head and replied, "Junyu doesn't know." ”
Qin Shujiu's intention to come at this time was really incomprehensible, and it was after thinking about it for a while that Concubine Hou Xian asked the palace people to summon Qin Shujiu into the palace. Waiting for Qin Shujiu to enter the palace, the mess in this palace has been cleaned up, and Concubine Hou Xian is sitting on the right seat in this palace, and Jun Yu is waiting aside. And Concubine Hou Xian sat on top of it and half leaned on it, holding a fan, gently shaking the fan while closing it to recuperate, looking at it with a pleasant meaning, not like asking His Majesty to punish him.
Although Concubine Hou Xian looked very quiet, Qin Shujiu still saw that she had made a big fire, and immediately smiled in her heart and then bowed and said: "The concubine visits Concubine Xian, and the mother is blessed with Jin'an." ”
Fu'an said that he looked at Concubine Xian and nodded slightly, Qin Shujiu got up, and Concubine Xian also slowly opened her eyes and looked at her and then said: "My fair lady came to find the palace at this time, isn't she afraid of being punished for disobeying the will?" As soon as the words of inquiry fell, he heard Qin Shujiu reply: "Punished for disobeying the will? The concubine accidentally understood what Niangniang meant. ”
"Huh, do you understand?" got up and sat up straight, and then put her elbows on the desk to support her body, Concubine Xian said: "If this palace is not mistaken, the fair beauty should also be at the place of Imperial Girl Li." Qin Shujiu replied: "The concubine was indeed there at the time. Concubine Hou Xian said: "Since it is there, could it be that the beauty didn't hear the punishment of His Majesty's decree?" The words at the end of the words were a little long, low but deliberately long, as if there was some deep meaning hidden.
His Majesty punished her for being grounded for a month, Qin Shujiu came over at this time, obviously to resist the decree, but Qin Shujiu didn't seem to be aware of the disobedience to the decree but said: "Your Majesty punished the mother for being grounded for a month, but His Majesty only banned the mother's feet but did not say that others were not allowed to see the mother, so the concubine didn't know why the concubine said that the concubine was against the will?" ”
Liqing really only said that he was grounded, but now seeing it like this made Qin Shujiu take advantage of it. At that moment, she smiled softly and then looked at Qin Shujiu, and Concubine Hou Xian said, "It's that this palace is dull." I didn't see another layer under His Majesty's will, okay. Since His Majesty has not forbidden others to enter the dormitory of the palace, then the palace will not punish the beauties for disobedience. It's just that my fair lady is now coming when she is grounded in this palace, but why? ”
Qin Shujiu just came to take a look at Shun Kuai's comfort? Concubine Hou Xian didn't think that this smart beauty would do such a boring thing, so she asked directly, and Qin Shujiu didn't think about what to say, since Concubine Xian asked, she answered. Suddenly, he knelt down and bowed, and Qin Shujiu said: "The concubine is here to ask for sin." ”
"Please? What is the sin of beauty? ”
Qin Shujiu's words also made Concubine Hou Xian a little unclear, so she asked right away. Qin Shujiu replied truthfully: "There are two crimes of concubines, one is that when Lai Zhaoyi framed Niangniang, she didn't dare to come forward to speak up for Niangniang, which caused Niangniang to suffer such grievances. ”
It has been a long time since Qin Shujiu came to ask for guilt when he returned to the palace, and the time when Concubine Hou Xian was most angry was also over, and now Qin Shujiu came to ask for guilt, she didn't count this grievance on her head, but said: "What can you say for the palace in that situation, the more righteous you look at, the more it looks like the palace has done something." Besides, Lai Zhaoyi, that slut, is bent on letting the imperial doctor check the mimosa of the palace's favor, even if you are right? ”
The grass is placed there, and it is Liqing's will to check it or not. What is the use of Qin Shujiu as a little beauty, although Concubine Hou Xian is arrogant but also reasonable, she also said it truthfully, and after she said this, Qin Shujiu said.
"This one thing that Niangniang said is the second sin that the concubine wants to invite."
"This thing. You're talking about mimosa? Slightly puzzled, Qin Shujiu nodded and replied, "It's a mimosa." "She is clear about the first sin that Qin Shujiu invited, but this second sin made Concubine Hou Xian careless. She frowned and looked at it carefully, and only after a while did she ask, "Mimosa." What is the sin of my fair beauty? ”
"If the concubine could stop it at that time, maybe it wouldn't have been noticed. Your Majesty will not order the imperial doctor to conduct a thorough investigation, and Niangniang will not be punished by Your Majesty's grounding because of those two pots of grass. It is because of this that the concubine felt that there was a mistake and came to ask for guilt. After the words fell, Qin Shujiu bowed down directly, expressing his guilt. It was after listening to her words that Concubine Hou Xian remembered that Qin Shujiu was indeed standing next to the mimosa at that time, using her body to block the implicit grass.
I didn't pay attention at the time, so I ignored it, but now it seems that she wanted to cover for herself from the beginning, and such a caring person really made Concubine Hou Xian laugh. Recalling that she first sank and then smiled, Concubine Hou Xian said: "My fair beauty is really smart, I think I already know that mimosa is not a good thing." ”
"The concubine is not an immortal, how can she know that it is not a good thing if she has never seen it, and besides, the mimosa is found by the mother herself, and the mother treats the Li Imperial Girl with a true heart, so she will give the newly obtained rare thing to the Li Imperial Girl. Love things are rewarded, how can Niang Niang know that the thing is poisonous, and it will harm the Li Imperial Girl like this. ”
"You're right, I've never seen this palace before, and I would have known that the inconspicuous grass was so fierce that it made Imperial Girl Li look like this." If she doesn't know, only Concubine Hou Xian herself knows, if she says she doesn't know, she doesn't know, and she took Qin Shujiu's words to say her grievances for herself, but after saying her grievances, Concubine Hou Xian didn't forget about him, and looked at Qin Shujiu seriously, and asked: "Since my fair beauty doesn't know the mimosa and the problem, how can she have the heart to block it for the palace?" ”
"Because Lai Zhaoyi has been looking at the mimosa on the stage since she entered the palace, the concubine guessed that there was something wrong with this thing."
If there is no problem, according to Lai Zhaoyi's temperament, he will not pay attention to such an inconspicuous thing, Qin Shujiu's eyes are indeed sharp. Although she saw it clearly, she was also heartfelt, but it was a pity that she couldn't defeat Lai Zhaoyi's old plan, and finally let her succeed.
How many smiled coldly, and then Concubine Xian said: "When you enter the palace, your eyes pay attention to the reward of this palace?" It seems that her heart has long been clear, so when the palace rewarded Imperial Lady Li with this thing, she knew that this thing could not be placed in the palace? At that time, I knew in my heart that I deliberately hid it and didn't say it, Lai Zhaoyi, a slut, really had a deep enough mind. ”
Knowing what the consequences would be, but sitting there and waiting, Lai Zhaoyi had long thought about using this mimosa to set herself up, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that she was fighting like this, and the anger that rose in her heart deepened. And after listening to her words, Qin Shujiu also responded on the side.
"Lai Zhaoyi is indeed thinking about it and deliberately concealing it, if this is a reward for the mother to the Imperial Daughter Li, something will happen. But if Niangniang didn't reward Imperial Daughter Li, according to Niangniang's rarity at that time, she was afraid that the Niangniang would suffer this crime if she stayed in her palace. ”
Anyway, asking Qin Shujiu to say this also saw Lai Zhaoyi's hidden evil intentions, and even asked Concubine Hou Xian to gasp and say: "Lai Zhaoyi's woman, it's really not simple, at the beginning, Bengong Guo was blind to think that woman was no longer in dispute." Such a hearted woman, how could she be willing to sit on the throne of a concubine, how could she be willing. ”
I don't know what to remember, Concubine Hou Xian at this time looked obviously a little strange, her deep eyes revealed the resentment hidden in her bones, for Lai Zhaoyi, they must have had a deep holiday before. Concubine Hou Xian had doubts about Lai Zhaoyi in her heart, but now because of this incident, this suspicion has surfaced.
Lai Zhaoyi can't stay, Concubine Hou Xian at this time must mean this, and Qin Shujiu.
The same is true.
Specially came to ask for guilt, of course Concubine Hou Xian would not punish Qin Shujiu, not only would she not punish but it made her sincerity clearer, and she suddenly calmed down again under her anger, and Concubine Hou Xian, who was calm, was no longer angry but looked at Qin Shujiu with a smile and said: "This place is cold, but My Fair Beauty should not be greedy for cold and kneel here, the deep ground is wet at night, so it is not good for moisture to enter the body." Jun Yu, standing stupidly to see something, didn't step forward to help the beauty up. ”
As soon as Concubine Hou Xian's words fell, she hurriedly stepped forward, helped Qin Shujiu to stand up, and after getting up, she thanked her, and only after Qin Shujiu thanked her did Concubine Hou Xian smile and said: "My fair beauty is really clear-minded, so that the more I look at this palace, the more I like it." ”
"The mother praised it falsely."
"How can this palace be falsely praised, my fair beauties are too modest, how to say that the women of this harem are also seen in this palace, but when it comes to appearance, the appearance of a beauty should be one of the best. Coupled with the ingenuity of the beauty, this palace has never seen His Majesty so attentive to which concubine in the harem, that is, the heart of the beauty wants to come to this palace in the future, and it is definitely not only the beauty position of this area. ”
Concubine Xian's praise, its meaning is clear, it is the intention of sincere heart, and Qin Shujiu has the same meaning today, since Concubine Hou Xian has already opened her mouth first, then she is not only a smart person, of course, she also has to do smart things, so she owes her bow and thank you now, Qin Shujiu said.
"Although Niangniang is smart and concubines, but in this harem is only smart and feasible for a long time, if there is no one who is willing to carry it, no matter how smart it is, it is just wandering back and forth in that place. A good bird must have the ability to break wood, otherwise no matter how clever it is, there will be a day when the hunter will shoot it down. ”
"My fair lady really sees things clearly, no wonder Your Majesty likes to talk to you. Such a caring person, there is also a heart, and you specially came to talk to this palace today, so that this palace will not be so bored, and now the hour is not early, the beauty should go back and rest early. ”
She specially came to soothe Concubine Hou Xian's depression, but it also made Concubine Hou Xian's grievances in her heart lighten a lot, and now Concubine Hou Xian is sympathetic to her hard work and let her go back to rest earlier, so she deserves such a reward. At that moment, Qin Shujiu didn't say much anymore, but thanked him, and then withdrew from Concubine Houxian's bedroom. (To be continued.) )
