Chapter 118: False Reconciliation
ใStarting Point Exclusive ReleaseใQueen? How did she get here?
Liang Yuexin frowned, she had just made a move with the Queen Mother, did she have to fight with the Queen Mother again?
The queen arrived, and as the mother of the main palace of Jingren Palace, Concubine Tong did not dare to slack off. She and Liang Yuexin went out to greet her.
"The concubine greets the queen."
"It's all my own family, so I don't have to be polite." This time, the queen shouted the salute very quickly.
What's even more surprising is that the queen actually stepped forward to hold Liang Yuexin's hand.
"My sister is pregnant, and she doesn't need to salute."
Did this come from the mouth of the queen? Liang Yuexin didn't react for a long time. Concubine Tong reacted quickly and hurriedly invited the queen into the palace to sit.
The three of them sat next to each other around the table. The queen kept smiling, as if she was in a good mood.
Liang Yuexin had a momentary illusion, feeling that the queen seemed to have changed into another person.
I saw that the queen clapped her palms, and immediately an entourage came in with boxes of things. Ina smiled and said to Liang Yuexin: "These things are all given to the little lord by the queen's mother. โ
Ina smiled as if the slap in the garden had never existed.
Liang Yuexin didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the queen's gourd, and she felt like it was in the clouds.
"The concubine thanked the queen for her sister." Concubine Tong's reaction was extremely fast, and she had already thanked Liang Yuexin.
"The concubine thanked the queen mother." Liang Yuexin also responded.
"They are all their own sisters, and to say this is to see the outside." The queen said as she shook Liang Yuexin's hand.
Liang Yuexin felt disgusted, but she still coped with a smile on her face.
Ina introduced the gifts brought by the queen on the side. Among them, the osmanthus tea was given to the queen by the queen mother, who regarded it as a treasure, and now she also sent it to Liang Yuexin.
After Ina finished introducing, the queen instructed her to make osmanthus tea for everyone to drink.
As soon as the osmanthus tea was brewed, a fragrant floral fragrance immediately wafted in the room, and it felt like being in the midst of flowers.
Concubine Tong looked at the cup full of tea in front of her, her brows furrowed slightly, and then she stretched out again, and no one noticed. I saw her say, "Queen Mother." The concubine has been unwell recently, allergic to pollen, and I am afraid that she will not be able to enjoy this glory. โ
The queen's face showed a hint of contempt, and she scolded in her heart. It's really unlucky. But he didn't say anything, but said to Liang Yuexin with a smile: "Sister Naxin, please use it." โ
Liang Yuexin's mind flashed with the poisonous thought in the tea. But the thought only passed through her, for she saw that the queen was already drinking it.
No matter how much the queen hates her, she won't openly poison her. So Liang Yuexin also picked up the cup with confidence.
At the moment when Liang Yuexin picked up the cup, Concubine Tong's brows furrowed again.
Rich osmanthus fragrance. Refreshing. Liang Yuexin seemed to like this taste very much, and drank it in two sips of a cup of tea. Ina next to her took the initiative to pour it for her again.
"Osmanthus tea is a gift from the Queen Mother to the queen, and Sister Xin can drink it, she is really a blessed person." Concubine Tong looked at Liang Yuexin and smiled.
"The concubine thanked the queen for cutting her love." Liang Yuexin did not forget to thank the queen again.
"There are many more in Kunning Palace, if my sister likes it, this palace will send more to my sister." The queen's smiling face was always on her face, as if the two were really sisters.
"Thank you so much to the Queen." This osmanthus tea, Liang Yuexin really likes it. Since the queen was so gracious, she didn't refuse.
The three of them talked all afternoon, and the queen did not leave until dinner time.
As soon as the queen left. Concubine Tong arched her hand to Liang Yuexin and said, "Congratulations to my sister." โ
"Sister, what do you say?" Liang Yuexin's eyes widened and asked, where does the joy come from?
"The queen took the initiative to show favor to you today, and since then you have one less enemy in the palace, which is a great joy."
"Why does the queen want to show favor to me?" As soon as Concubine Tong said this, the question in Liang Yuexin's heart came again.
Concubine Tong pointed to Liang Yuexin's stomach and smiled without saying a word.
Liang Yuexin seemed to understand, it turned out that everything was because of the child.
But after thinking about it, I felt that it was wrong. Now that she has a child, the queen should hate her even more. Why......
Listening to Concubine Tong again, Liang Yuexin knew that the queen had not conceived a child since she entered the palace, perhaps because of this.
After all, in this palace, it is common for mothers to be more expensive than children. The queen also didn't want to go against a concubine with a child. It's also a good thing for her to show favor now.
Concubine Tong also has a point. If the queen can really let go of her hatred, of course Liang Yuexin is willing not to remember the past. After all, everyone lives in this palace, and fighting back and forth is not a solution.
Fulin is even more considerate to Liang Yuexin, who is pregnant.
In the courtyard, the afternoon sun shone on the two of them, and they felt lazy.
Fulin held Xiao Xin in his arms. Xiao Xin was tired and shrunk like a kitten, very warm.
"You have to go out for a walk more, and don't stay in Jingren Palace all the time." Fu Lin leaned down and kissed Xiao Xin's forehead lightly, both loving and pampering.
Liang Yuexin shook her head. Ever since I was pregnant, my body has become lazy, and I don't want to move as soon as I sit down.
"Go out and walk more, it's good for the fetus." Fulin continued.
As soon as Fulin said this, Liang Yuexin remembered the word "prenatal education".
I heard that children who have received prenatal education are particularly smart. Liang Yuexin suddenly remembered another sentence: Don't let your child lose at the starting line.
In an instant, the mother's love overflowed, and she stretched her waist and stood up, saying, "Rokuro, play the piano for me." โ
"Why do you suddenly want to hear the piano?" Fu Lin scratched Xiao Xin's nose with his hand.
"Be good to children, children will be smart when they listen too much." Liang Yuexin blurted out. All she can think of is prenatal education that starts with listening to music.
As soon as he heard that it was good for the child, Fulin was naturally very happy.
Liang Yuexin was not idle, and also prepared pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the table.
Under the joyful and brisk sound of the piano, Liang Yuexin waved a brush to write big characters.
Fulin once taught Xiao Xin calligraphy for a period of time, and now Liang Yuexin is really good at writing.
Liang Yuexin thought, listening to music and writing at the same time, this should be an excellent prenatal education, right? Then let Fulin move some books to Jingren Palace, and she would read more if she was fine. The children born in the future will definitely be smarter than other princes or princesses.
Fu Lin, who was playing the piano, raised his head and looked at Xiao Xin from time to time, his eyes were full of tenderness. Xiao Xin occasionally raised her head and smiled at him. There is no greater happiness in life than this.
The sound of the piano can make people feel happy, and writing can make people feel calm. Maybe the heart is too sweet, and before you know it, both of them have hallucinations.
Fu Lin saw that Xiao Xin gave birth to a little princess. The little princess looks exactly like Xiao Xin, with big eyes. shouted to his father to hug him.
What Liang Yuexin saw was that she gave birth to a prince, the little prince looked like Fulin, and he was going to be obsessed with her all day long, and the mother concubine shouted before and after the mother.
Both of them burst out laughing in unison.
This beautiful picture is both enviable and envious.
Concubine Tong has been hiding in a corner for a long time.
Although on weekdays. Concubine Tong doesn't like to compete for favor. But seeing that the emperor was so good to Liang Yuexin, and the picture of them being happy with each other, it really stinged her eyes.
Concubine Tong was also pregnant, but she never enjoyed this gift.
The happiness of others is too good, but the own is too unbearable. Concubine Tong let out a long sigh. Then he turned and departed.
In a blink of an eye, Liang Yuexin's belly has been three months old, and a bulging belly can be seen.
According to custom, on the night of the full moon of the fifteenth month, the emperor is with the queen.
The queen's temper has been restrained a lot, and she also took the initiative to reconcile with Liang Yuexin. Fulin didn't have the same dislike for her as before. On the night of the full moon, he stayed in Kunning Palace.
In the evening without Fulin's company, Liang Yuexin was not very used to it. Pulling Xue Qiao out of Jingren Palace, he wandered outside.
"Little lord, you see that the moon is really round at night." Xue Qiao said, pointing to the moon hanging in space.
Look up. The round moon hanging in the dark sky is indeed round and bright, which is very endearing. But Liang Yuexin shook her head and said, "I prefer stars." โ
On days when there is a moon, the stars are dimmed. There is no starlight to enjoy tonight.
"If the little master likes to look at the stars, wait until the day when there are stars, and Xue Qiao will accompany the little master out to see."
But Liang Yuexin still shook her head.
"The stars are the most beautiful when you look at them from the rooftop."
On the rooftop? Xue Qiao was embarrassed. How could she have the ability to accompany the little master to the roof to look at the stars?
"Little master, are you joking?"
"When I was still outside the palace, Rokuro often accompanied me to look at the stars on the rooftop. But when I entered the palace, I didn't try it. Liang Yuexin sighed. Or the days outside the palace are happy and unrestrained.
It turned out that the little lord remembered the emperor again. Is this called not seeing each other for a day? Xue Qiao covered her mouth and smiled secretly.
In this era, the people in the palace don't have any programs at night and go to bed early. The night is particularly quiet, and the slightest sound of wind and grass can be heard.
They passed by the edge of a bush. Suddenly, I heard a whisper in the grass. Liang Yuexin and Xue Qiao immediately stopped.
Who is it? Hiding in the grass so late? Liang Yuexin's first reaction was that there must be something shady about it.
Liang Yuexin signaled to Xue Qiao, and the two quietly walked in the direction of the sound.
When I got closer, I saw a man and a woman hugging and sitting in the grass.
"Who are you?" Liang Yuexin shouted.
The frightened men and women immediately turned around. When they saw Liang Yuexin's dress, they were so frightened that they immediately knelt down and begged for mercy: "Little master, spare your life." โ
The men wore the uniforms of the guards, and the women wore the uniforms of the palace maids. Look at how intimate they were just now. It should be a man and a woman in love.
Seeing their panicked looks, Liang Yuexin understood a little. It is estimated that it is a pair of men and women in **.
According to the palace rules, palace people are not allowed to fall in love without permission. Violators will be beaten with a hundred boards.
There have been palace people who have been punished for violating palace rules, and they have all died in battle. A hundred big boards, it is true that not everyone can afford it. So the man and woman immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
The men and women kept shouting for mercy, and their heads hit the ground with a loud bang.
"You are so bold that you dare to violate the palace rules?"
Before Liang Yuexin could speak, Xue Qiao spoke first.
"The little master spares his life, the slave will never dare again." It was the guards who spoke, and the palace maid next to him was so panicked that she couldn't speak.
"Okay, no more kowtowing." Liang Yuexin waved her hand and told them to stand up. Her forehead was bleeding, and she really couldn't stand it.
"Thank you, thank you." The guards pulled the palace maid and bowed deeply to Liang Yuexin.
The guards and palace maids thought they had escaped, but Liang Yuexin immediately put on a straight face and said, "It's just **, what's the big deal?" Fight a hundred battles. Xue Qiao, take them to be tortured. โ
As soon as these words came out, the legs of the two of them became weak again, and they immediately knelt down again.
Isn't fighting a hundred battles equivalent to letting them die directly?
"Little master, they ......" Xue Qiao wanted to say that they were also pitiful and wanted to help them speak. was interrupted by Liang Yuexin's wave of his hand.
"You deserve punishment for doing something wrong, don't you?" Liang Yuexin looked at them and asked rhetorically.
The guards and maids wanted to cry without tears. They chose to have a tryst in this remote place in the middle of the night, where did they expect to meet Liang Yuexin? If they had known, they would not have dared to kill them.
Private trysts of palace people occasionally happen, after all, they are all young men and women, and it is inevitable that there will be feelings of admiration. Xue Qiao entered the palace and became a palace maid, and she also knows a little about this kind of thing.
But Xue Qiao didn't expect that the little master would stick to his principles and not let them go. Sympathy for them, but also helplessness.
"Do you go and suffer by yourself, or will I have the guards come and take you?" Liang Yuexin continued, a wicked smile on her face.
Seeing that there was no hope of begging for mercy, the guard turned his heart and said, "It's none of the business, I can be punished alone." โ
"No, don't punish Brother Yang Cheng, it's my fault. Punish me if you want to punish me. The palace maid who was called a pity also suddenly mustered up the courage and wanted to bear it with all her might.
It turned out that the guard was called Yang Cheng, and the palace maid was called Li'er. Liang Yuexin smiled, and there was another good show to watch.
"Li'er, don't be so stupid, just let me be tortured alone."
"No, Brother Yang Cheng. Let me go. โ
The two of them are fighting for punishment with each word. Life and death may be like this.
"That's enough." Liang Yuexin interrupted them, crossed her hands on her hips and said, "Don't fight, the two of you have to be punished together." โ
"Little master......" Xue Qiao couldn't stand it anymore, and was about to open her mouth to persuade. Liang Yuexin raised her hand and interrupted her words again.
Yang Cheng and Li'er were both deflated, but they didn't expect to meet a cold-blooded little master.
I saw Yang Cheng take Li'er into his arms, looked at her deeply and said, "Li'er, I'm sorry, I'm the one who caused you." โ
"No, Brother Yang Cheng." Li'er shook her head vigorously and said with tears in her eyes: "Life is born together, death is death together." โ
What a pair of hard-working mandarin ducks!
"Little lord, please let them go." Xue Qiao suddenly knelt down and begged for mercy for them.
"No way!" Liang Yuexin refused.
"Little Master ......"
Liang Yuexin didn't pay attention to Xue Qiao anymore, but looked at Yang Cheng and Pian and asked, "How long have you been together?" โ
Yang Cheng and Li'er both kept their mouths shut and didn't answer. Anyway, they are all going to die, so why bother answering Liang Yuexin's question?
"Who are the people in the family?" Liang Yuexin continued to ask.
But Yang Cheng and Li'er still didn't respond.
"Answer my questions seriously. Maybe I'll let one of you go as soon as I'm happy. โ
As soon as Liang Yuexin's words came out, a glimmer of hope ignited in the eyes of Yang Cheng and Li'er. But then it dimmed again. To spare one of them means that one of them must die, so how can they be happy? (To be continued.) )
