Chapter 81: Life Hangs by a Thread
It was late at night when I returned to Minghu, and I quietly returned to the boat at night, and I was startled.
"Concubine, you can count it back."
Fu Qizheng looked solemn, and was silent for a long time before saying, "What's going on these days?" ”
"The queen mother knew that the emperor had taken the concubine and Lan Jieyu on a private trip, and she had a lot of fire, and the situation almost demolished the Qingluanfang." Water mist
"Princess Jiayi, the queen has trouble finding her."
"Where does the queen dare to be, only the queen mother dares to bully my princess in the palace, but the princess asked the slave and maid to wait for the concubine master to come back and tell the concubine master, let the concubine master be on the embankment recently, and the queen mother is jealous and doesn't know what to think."
Fu Qizheng smiled indifferently: "I have already understood." ”
Fu Qizheng changed his clothes and freshened up, and let the mist subside and rest, and walked out of the cabin alone, the night was as cool as water, the clothes were fluttering, the green silk was chaotic, looking up at a glance at the sky, the stars were bright, the only round of the moon, looking around, above the Ming Lake, the Holy Dragon Boat was magnificent, and the other ships were not like this starry moon, looking at the bright lights from afar, the people inside should not have rested, from the close distance to the deep pool, only half a day.
"Concubine, it's cold at night, be careful of catching a cold." Shui Mist took a cloak and tied it to Fu Qizheng.
"Didn't I let you rest?" Fu Qizheng said softly.
"The slave and maid can see that the concubine master has been depressed since she came back, and the slave and maid are worried, and the princess asks the slave and maid to serve the concubine master, and if the concubine master is unhappy, the princess will punish the slave and maid."
Fu Qizheng turned around and looked at the water mist, and smiled slightly: "It's you who are so concerned, and they have long been surprised at the beginning of the Qing Dynasty." ”
Tossing and turning, the scenes of the past two days keep coming to mind, Fu Qizheng is just a flash in the pan, I don't know when I fell asleep, I woke up it was almost noon, I stood up and saw that Jiayi was sitting in the cabin reading a book.
Seeing that Fu Qizheng woke up, he walked over and sat on the edge of the bed: "Qizheng, you are awake, I know that you are resting late, and I dare not wake you up." ”
"I've heard about the past few days that you and your brother have been out." Jiayi said with a smile.
Fu Qizheng looked at Jiayi in surprise: "What did you hear?" ”
Zheng ...... Zheng what's coming. Jiayi Wangtian said.
Fu Qizheng was gloomy, frowned slightly, and said worriedly: "Don't say it, this matter made the emperor Longyan furious, and he rode all the way back, without saying a word, now I am afraid that I will cause a big sin." ”
"What are you worried about, in my opinion, the imperial brother is not angry, he is jealous, do you guess he will privately send a master of Ouchi to assassinate that Zheng Yuanzhi." Jiayi covered her mouth and smiled.
"I'm so anxious this time, you still have the heart to laugh." Fu Qizheng sighed lightly, suddenly remembered something, and said confusedly, "How did the queen know?" ”
Jiayi glanced back at the mist standing next to her: "Don't blame this stupid girl, the queen heard that you were grounded and wanted to add fuel to the fire, and punished you for copying the scriptures for one day and presenting it the next day, this girl panicked, so she did it herself, and the queen saw it at a glance, and came to hold you accountable, so she knew everything." ”
"Slave, slave and maid really don't know what to do." Mist said hurriedly.
"Don't blame her, how can she be a little palace maid who can stop this." Fu Qizheng said.
"The queen knew that it was not overturned, so I hurriedly asked Qi Huanyi to go out to look for you, I didn't expect you to rush back so quickly, you have to be careful of the queen recently."
Fu Qizheng nodded, slightly worried: "I naturally know this, but Wen Yue's side must not let the queen go." ”
"I also heard that Lan Jieyu and the Qinglou woman named Yuxin were jealous, which gave the royal brother a headache." Jiayi was amused again.
Fu Qizheng sighed heavily: "If you want to be out of the palace, you can't take care of it so much, and I'm afraid that your reckless temperament can't be changed for a while." ”
Ten days later, I heard that Emperor Yuan's holy drive had set off into Suzhou in the early morning, and after the afternoon, the queen sent someone to summon Fu Qizheng to Qingluanfang.
Fu Qizheng knew that it was a disaster that could not be avoided, without the queen mother by her side, the queen was already unscrupulous, and now that Emperor Yuan had left Minghu, the protection that the queen was afraid of was gone.
After Fu Qizheng finished changing clothes, he wanted to go alone, and Shui Wu said worriedly: "Concubine, the queen is not good, let the slave and maid accompany you." ”
"The queen just wants to take out her anger with this concubine, it's been so long, and there must not be much anger left, so she won't do anything with this concubine." After speaking, he walked out of the Phantom Cloud Boat, boarded the Qingluan Boat, and ran into Wen Yue, who came to him.
Wen Yue looked terrified: "Sister, the queen summoned us, it must be ......"
"For a while, no matter what the queen says, don't open your mouth, just suffer silently, let's bear with it, and the queen's anger will disappear faster." Fu Qizheng instructed.
Wen Yue nodded, and the two slowly walked onto the Qingluan boat, walking on thin ice, Wen Yue trembled and walked behind Fu Qizheng.
Entering the main hall of the cabin, the queen was sitting on the main seat and squinted at the two people who slowly walked in.
"Say hello to the Queen." The two of them saluted.
"Get up." The queen said coldly.
The two stood up, and Fu Qizheng said, "I don't know why Niangniang summoned her concubines?" ”
"I haven't seen my two sisters in this palace for a few days, especially Aya Ronghua, don't come here unharmed?"
"Thanks to the mother's blessing, the concubine is all right." Fu Qizheng replied.
"I heard that Aya Ronghua is an out-and-out talented woman, there are a few calligraphy and paintings here in this palace, Aya Ronghua came to take a look for this palace, who is this painting." The queen glanced at the palace maids beside her, and several palace maids came out with a scroll and walked up to the two of them, and opened them together.
Fu Qizheng stepped forward to take a look, and was shocked, those words were written by her in the calligraphy and painting shop and Fenghua Competition, which were originally just scribble paper, but now they were carefully framed and sealed, and although the painting was not painted by her, the people on the painting were all her, the back of the lake...... Dance...... Even the bow of the ship alone.
Looking at Fu Qizheng's unbelievable expression, even Wen Yue was shocked, and the queen was instantly furious, and said sharply: "Can Aya Ronghua know the person who painted it?" ”
Fu Qizheng said tremblingly: "Yes...... It's a concubine. ”
"If you hadn't seen this painting, this palace wouldn't have known that Aya Ronghua could dance, look at this painting, how can she be a beautiful country." The queen sneered.
Fu Qizheng couldn't care about the queen's words, and carefully looked at a few calligraphy and paintings back and forth several times, and his heart was turbulent.
"This palace has never seen Aya Ronghua dance with my own eyes, I want to see it today, doesn't Aya Ronghua like to stay on the deck, every night I always have to stand in a cloak for a while, well, this palace will fulfill you today, by the way, this palace also ordered someone to imitate the clothes you wore that day, you will wear and dance."
"Eldest Princess, you can't go in, Eldest Princess......" There was a commotion outside the cabin.
Jiayi rushed away from the palace maid and ran in: "What does the imperial sister-in-law want to summon the two concubines?" ”
The queen raised her sleeves and raised her lips: "You want to save people?" No one can save her, come and don't change Aya Ronghua's clothes, please ask a musician. ”
"Imperial Sister-in-law......"
"Princess, if the concubine goes back late, she won't accompany the princess to eat, and the princess will be annoyed to prepare some jade tea cakes for the concubine." Fu Qizheng said busily.
Jiayi thought for a moment when she heard this, Er bowed her head, said no more, and said to the queen: "It's Jiayi's rudeness, and I hope that the emperor's sister-in-law won't blame her, and Jiayi will retire first." ”
Silk and bamboo music, Fu Qizheng's eyes were blank, dancing gloomily and on the deck of Qingluanfang, Wen Yue stood aside, daring to be angry and not daring to speak, and the queen sat in the door with great interest to watch.
The scorching sun was in the sky, Fu Qizheng's forehead oozed beads of sweat, the queen ordered not to stop, after a song, he changed to another pianist for a moment without stopping and playing the piano one after another, a dance under the sun was two hours, the queen was tired of seeing it, so she went in to sleep, and told the palace maid to star, and only got up at ten o'clock in the night, Fu Qizheng's face was already pale, exhausted, his body swayed but he didn't dare to stop for a moment, and the whole person was like a walking corpse.
The queen sat down and looked at Fu Qizheng with a smile: "Aya Ronghua has the strength to jump to the common people, is she so perfunctory in front of the palace?" ”
"Queen Mother, my sister has been dancing for a while, I'm afraid my body will not work, the concubine begs the queen mother to let my sister rest." Wen Yue begged anxiously.
"What are you, Bengong hasn't settled accounts with you yet, you pleaded for her first, Bengong sees that she is in good spirits, so keep dancing." The queen said nonchalantly.
Fu Qizheng couldn't listen to the surrounding sounds at all, the sky gradually darkened, but the music never stopped, Fu Qizheng staggered, suddenly his feet were weak, and he fell on the deck all of a sudden.
"What, deliberately did it for Hongu to see?" The queen said with contempt.
Fu Qizheng held on to the fence next to the boat and wanted to get up, but he had no strength anymore, so he climbed halfway through several times and sat down again.
The queen instructed: "Xiao Tao, don't go to help the concubine, it's time for you to repay your kindness, if it weren't for the concubine's recommendation, how could you serve the eldest princess." ”
"Yes, sissy." Xiao Tao owes herself.
Fu Qizheng leaned on the edge of the boat and looked at Xiao Tao's resentful eyes, knowing that she didn't have a good heart, gritted her teeth and used all her strength to stand up with the hoarding, standing on the edge of the boat, Xiao Tao grabbed Fu Qizheng's arm tightly: "The concubine is still please." ”
"Let go of the concubine." Fu Qizheng reprimanded.
Xiao Tao pulled Fu Qizheng suddenly: "Don't toast the concubine, don't eat and drink." ”
Fu Qizheng broke free with all his might, and his body instantly leaned back over the fence and fell into the Ming Lake.
"Sister!" Wen Yue exclaimed.
The palace maids, eunuchs, and musicians were in a mess, and the queen suddenly panicked, and ran to the side of the boat to see Fu Qizheng struggling in the water, sinking and floating with the waves, shouting: "Help...... Save ......", seeing that it was about to sink, the queen was frightened, holding on to the railing and looking in horror, completely at a loss.
"Niangniang, save people." Xiao Tao shook the queen desperately and said urgently.
Wen Yue cried everywhere: "Someone, save someone." When I turned around, I saw that Fu Qizheng was missing from the lake......
