118: Shock
"Brother Huang, Queen Mother, what do you two think?"
Yi Qinglan saw that the faces of the two had changed greatly, and her mood became extremely good.
In fact, he also had to thank these two for killing them all at the beginning, otherwise he would never have been found by the dragon head.
After the separation of Shen Niannian in his childhood, he relied on the support of his grandmother to enter the barracks, starting from an inconspicuous soldier, slowly accumulating his own power and gathering a group of henchmen.
And when he was eleven years old, he returned from the brutal battlefield for the first time, and saw the dragon head of the legendary shadow guard.
No one knew that the head of the shadow guard was also responsible for teaching the young emperor.
And it was his master who personally taught him martial arts and the art of the emperor.
From that time on, he knew that he would be the real master of this country, even if the third emperor brother sat on the throne, but for the dragon head, the real emperor was only recognized by his father!
Originally, he thought that if the Eastern Yi Dynasty could still maintain a prosperous situation under the management of the Three Emperor Brothers, he would not mind staying on the border of the Northern Regions and being a prince who resisted foreign races, but on the contrary, he gave the Three Emperor Brothers a chance, which he did not cherish!
Thinking of the homeless people he met along the way, and the rotting bones on the side of the road, Yi Qinglan had a layer of coldness in his eyes.
He didn't want to see the Dongyi Dynasty destroyed in the hands of the three emperor brothers, otherwise he wouldn't be able to forgive himself by himself, and he was afraid that he would not have the face to see his father and queen mother a hundred years later.
The emperor's face was full of despair, and he couldn't help but look at his own mother.
The Queen Mother closed her eyes. His face was also full of unwillingness.
Although they have attracted many ministers in the DPRK and China over the years, it is today's scene that they are guarding against.
But he ignored the existence of the shadow guard.
Who knows, among the so-called loyal ministers that the two of them have worked so hard to encompass, will there be people in the shadow guard?
The Queen Mother is a self-aware person.
If it weren't for the sudden departure of the first emperor, I'm afraid she wouldn't have thought of letting her son replace Yi Qinglan.
Even if she is unwilling, she can't help but admit that the things that the emperor has done over the years are really a bit ridiculous, even if she often follows his ass to clean up the mess, but the appearance of the purple concubine has made the emperor more and more out of her control.
There are some things in Beijing that she doesn't know. She was not ignorant of foreign affairs.
But the elixir that the foreign king Ash claimed to be able to refine not only attracted the emperor's attention. Let her follow the slander.
The Queen Mother couldn't help touching her face, which had become a lot fairer and rounder in recent days, and her eyes darkened.
After a long time, he said faintly, "The mourning family understands." Xiao Jiu, you can rest assured. The queen mother will give you back what belongs to you. ”
"Queen Mother!" The Emperor heard this. Screamed out in disbelief.
But he was taught a lesson by the Queen Mother, "If you only care about eating, drinking and having fun all these years, you have never really managed my Dongyi country." Will Xiao Jiu be forced to this point again because he can't bear it? Emperor, this position does not belong to you, tomorrow, you will issue an edict, according to what Xiao Jiu said, make him the crown prince, at least you can leave some face for yourself! ”
Even if the emperor is unwilling, he knows that what the Queen Mother said is indeed for his good.
It's just that if he wants to give up this position to Yi Qinglan, he is unwilling.
Even if this position originally belonged to Yi Qinglan!
The emperor secretly struggled for a long time before gritting his teeth and saying, "Okay! ”
Rather than being forced to leave this position by Yi Qinglan at that time, it is better to take the initiative to return it, so that at least in the end, he can still be an idle prince, instead of being solved by him personally.
After all, if he, the 'former emperor', is still in the world, I am afraid that it will cause a lot of incidents.
According to the practice of the emperors of previous dynasties, most of them will let the 'first emperor' ...... very quickly
Yi Qinglan heard that the two of them finally relented, and her heart was secretly relieved.
Although he entered the palace with confidence today, even if their mother and son were stiff and unwilling to return the throne to him, he could get it back by himself, but in the end, there would still be many people who didn't know and would be dissatisfied with him.
At that time, dealing with those things again will give him a headache.
"In that case, the imperial brother might as well write an edict now......"
Yi Qinglan hooked her lips and spoke.
……
At the same time, in the palace courtyard, Shen Niannian was approached by a woman who was once King Ling's concubine.
Xiangyue and Vanilla were cleaning up the house, and she was also idle, holding an ancient book and watching quietly in the good sunshine today.
Who would have thought that after a while, she heard a commotion outside the courtyard, and before she could figure out what was going on, she saw a woman dressed in extreme gaudy clothes and wearing heavy makeup walking into the courtyard with a proud face.
Coincidentally, when she sat by the window, she saw the woman clearly at first sight.
The woman's face was not bad, but her eyes were slightly raised, her thin lips were pursed, and she wore a peacock hairpin on her head, which was inlaid with many large red gems.
The golden-red head jewelry looks very dazzling in the sun, golden and eye-catching.
Just by this glance, you can see that this woman is a person with a flamboyant personality.
"Hmph, this concubine heard that the girl sent back by the prince lives in this courtyard, right? Then who hasn't come out to let the concubine see, what kind of girl is she who can let the prince's guards personally send her home! ”
The woman was standing in the courtyard, of course, she also saw Shen Niannian, but she didn't break into the door directly, but just stood under the pear blossom tree in the courtyard, and her sharp voice called out directly.
The self-title of 'this concubine' made Shen Niannian couldn't help frowning, and Xiangyue and Vanilla also heard the movement and hurriedly came over.
"Strange, why is there a woman here? Didn't Brother Song say that this courtyard is the prince's private residence, and it has always been empty? ”
"How do I know this, you have to ask the prince to know!"
The two girls also muttered quietly. However, she didn't dare to be careless when she heard the woman call herself 'this concubine', and hurriedly asked, "Girl, why don't we go out and have a look?" ”
Shen Niannian closed the book and bowed his head.
Xiangyue hurriedly went to open the door, while Shen Niannian tidied up her clothes before walking outside the house.
"Presumptuous, you don't even salute when you see the side concubine, where did you come out of the wild girl, you don't know the rules at all?!"
Before Shen Niannian took the initiative to speak. Next to the woman, a woman dressed as a beard took the lead. He glared at her with a brutal expression.
The look of jealousy in his eyes seemed to have been quenched with venom, which made Xiangyue Vanilla frown.
"I don't know which mother-in-law your family is? This is the prince's private residence, and no one else should come here. ”
Shen Niannian saw that this woman was not good, and he was afraid that Xiang Yue's sharp mouth would cause trouble. He immediately asked.
"Hmph. You slut didn't know you were here? Since this is the prince's private residence. Naturally, my mother is also the prince's side concubine, isn't she pretending to be confused? Or are you really stupid? ”
It was still the maid beside the woman who spoke, and the woman saw her dressed plainly. When her appearance was not as good as her, he didn't take her to heart, and he didn't bother to talk to her.
Lanzhu, the maid who has been serving her, has long felt her character thoroughly, and immediately spoke on her behalf.
That arrogant and condescending appearance, if it weren't for the fact that she was wearing the clothes of a maid, it almost made Shen Niannian and them think that she was the master.
Shen Niannian has always disdained this kind of human fox and fake tiger power, and Shen Niannian has always disdained it, but the words 'the prince's side concubine' made her sound very harsh.
"Your prince is King Ling?"
Shen Niannian pursed her lips, but she didn't care about the domineering attitude of this girl, but asked lightly.
"You've come to the prince's private courtyard, don't you still know the title of my lord? Of course, the prince of my family is the famous His Royal Highness King Ling! ”
The maid rolled her eyes, but her tone was very proud, "My master is King Ling's side concubine, and she is the prince's favorite and only woman. Lead my lord, then don't blame my mother for being unkind! ”
Xiangyue Vanilla didn't believe it when she heard this, how King Ling treated their girls these days, the two of them saw it in their eyes, if they weren't really happy with Miss Shen, they wouldn't have thought so much about the girl, and they were afraid that the girl would listen to this girl's nonsense and think nonsense, Xiangyue immediately crossed her waist, and also made a high-spirited appearance, and roared back coldly.
"You're a slut, your whole family is a slut! Bold minion, my girl is also something you can humiliate at will? Hmph, we sisters follow the prince (...... For so many years, I have never heard of the prince and a side concubine, where did you come from, you dare to rely on the power of my prince to fake the tiger here, if you don't make it clear today, be careful that I report to the prince and let him give you the death penalty! ”
Kazuki opened her eyes and began to talk nonsense.
She did follow King Ling's side, but ...... Ahem, this side is just referring to the mansion in the border city, before they were sent to serve Shen Niannian, they were just honest maids in the mansion, and this was the only way to be selected by the cloud housekeeper to serve Miss Shen after the red plum and green willow were sold.
But the other party didn't know all this, looking at Xiangyue with her chin raised high, her face full of anger, she was not fooled by their identities at all, and she was suddenly shocked.
began to wonder if Xiangyue was the person who had been serving King Ling for a long time.
The side concubine Niangniang also shifted her eyes to Xiangyue's body, and saw that although she was dressed as a maid, she was also wearing clothes made of good materials, and she was wearing a pearl flower and a golden hairpin that Shen Niannian rewarded her, and she was not afraid of offending her, so she suddenly became a little jealous.
The side concubine Niangniang glanced at the maid, and the maid who was still domineering just now immediately changed her face, and hurriedly laughed, "Has this sister really served the prince for a long time?" ”
Xiangyue is also a slave, where do you not know what this girl is thinking, knowing that the prince has not come back at this time, if she wants her girl not to be bullied, she has to pretend to be a little bit like her, so she pretends to be arrogant, "Hmph, is it possible that I can't make it up?" What the prince likes and what he likes to eat, I know it clearly. ”
The maid's eyes flashed, and her smile was more like she could squeeze out a flower, and hurriedly walked over.
"I don't know what my sister is called?"
Xiangyue rolled her eyes, "Why should I tell you, aren't you quite arrogant?" I haven't heard that the prince also has a side concubine, didn't you make it up to scare people? ”
"Sister, don't be angry, my mother is indeed King Ling's side concubine, when the prince returned to Beijing three years ago, the saint personally decreed that my mother would be promised to the prince."
The maid said with a smile, not seeing Fang Cai's arrogance at all, but with a little flattery to Xiangyue, but she still directly ignored Shen Niannian.
Shen Niannian didn't know what this maid's idea was, his eyes turned, and he looked at the side concubine again, and saw that the side concubine was staring at her with a gloomy face, shrugged her shoulders a little innocently, and looked at her again in a blink of an eye, and didn't care about this side concubine.
The maid beside the concubine followed Xiangyue for a while, and finally determined that Xiangyue Vanilla was indeed the maid who was waiting in front of the prince, and hurriedly went back to tell her master.
And Xiangyue also relayed the words she had brought to Shen Niannian.
It is said that this concubine's surname is Qin, and she is a member of the Qin family outside the Queen Mother, and she was given to him by the emperor by decree when King Ling entered Beijing to ask the emperor for silver.
It's just that Yi Qinglan didn't bring this concubine back to the border city, but threw it directly in the palace of Kyoto, and she never cared about it and mentioned it, so she could know that what the maid said was the prince's favorite woman must have been made up by her.
Shen Niannian originally thought that he was a little uncomfortable about this matter, but when he heard such an analysis from Xiangyue's mouth, he inexplicably improved.
When I came back to my senses, I was a little surprised when I found that I was so jealous just now.
It's just that all this was not shown on the surface, so it didn't let Xiangyue and Vanilla see it.
"You are the girl Shen who was sent back by the guards?"
Over there, this Concubine Qin also figured out Xiangyue's identity, so although she wanted to trouble Shen Niannian, she didn't dare to be too obvious.
After all, this maid who was serving by King Ling's side, even if she was a side concubine, should be wooed by one or two, instead of offending others, if she said a few words in front of King Ling a day later, wouldn't she have to vomit to death?
However, Shen Niannian was different, this woman was sent back by the guards around King Ling, but there were the prince's maids waiting for her, seeing that these two girls were protecting her like this, which made Qin Bian
