Chapter 60: The Long Road
"Fifth sister, don't go yet." Qishu hurriedly grabbed Qizheng, and when Qizheng stopped and turned around, she said: "There are a lot of people there, so it's a bit abrupt to go like this, so I'll invite Concubine Zhen here." ”
Qi Zheng lowered his eyes and nodded.
Qishu sighed helplessly, slowly walked to Zhen Concubine's side, leaned over and whispered a few words to Zhen Concubine, Zhen Concubine bowed slightly, got up and walked towards Qizheng with Qishu. Qizheng was vaguely apprehensive in her heart, and Concubine Zhen slowly approached, stopped and stood in front of Qizheng, looking at her calmly.
"Fifth sister, you are talking." Qishu saw that Qizheng lowered her eyebrows and said hurriedly.
Qi Zheng exhaled a long breath in her heart, slowly raised her eyes to look at Concubine Zhen, and owed: "Concubine Zhen." ”
Concubine Zhen smiled indifferently and said: "Okay, there is no need to say it, your mind is understood by this palace, it is not easy for you to change your fear, rather than having a stiff relationship with this palace, it is better to follow your wishes." ”
"Thank you for your understanding." Qishu smiled.
Concubine Zhen looked at Qishu and said slightly: "You are not wrong about your sister, and this palace is not wrong, but what to do in the future will depend on herself rather than this palace." ”
"Yes, the concubine knows." Qi Zheng said with heavy eyes.
"I have time to sit in Yi'an Palace, talk to this palace, this palace regrets that you let you think about it and come to this palace again, but you really didn't come, and this palace is very boring for a few days." Concubine Zhen took two steps forward, took the hand of Qizheng and patted it gently, bowed her head slightly, turned around and walked back to the banquet table and sat down.
"Okay, now my sister is relieved, fifth sister, don't make Niangniang angry in the future, you also know that Niangniang is now pregnant with a dragon heir, and her status is different from before, I don't know how many people want to tie up." Qishu said.
Qizheng frowned slightly: "My sister also said that she is the one who wants to tie up with her mother, so why should we bother with that." "Okay, okay, let's go over, don't make my mother wait for a long time." Qishu pulled Qizheng and walked back.
The wedding banquet did not end until late at night, and in the early morning of the second day, Qi Zheng sent the Qin family out of the palace and returned to the Zhaoxuan Palace, Qing Chu carefully selected a few pieces of jewelry and brought them to Qi Zheng, and said with a smile: "How about the master wearing these?" ”
"Why do you want to pick some flashy ones?" Qi Zheng looked at the ornaments and asked curiously.
"Master, today is to ask the queen mother, the queen's canonization is a great joy in the palace, if the master is dressed too normally, the queen mother or other concubines are afraid that they will pick our trouble, or wear a little festive." Qing Chu said helplessly.
Qizheng smiled and nodded: "Okay, it depends on what you want." ”
After getting everything done, Qi Zheng took Qing Chu to Qianhe Palace, the palace people who came and went in the palace road were whispering something, and walked to a cluster of people, Qi Zheng slowly stopped and listened to them talking.
"You say, why didn't the emperor let the queen live in Yihua Palace."
"Do you still need to ask, it must be that the emperor doesn't want to make Concubine Hui Niangniang the queen."
"Then why did the emperor make an order, and I didn't see any displeasure when I heard the sisters in Ciye Palace say that the emperor made an order."
"I guess, most of it was the idea of the queen mother, the emperor was not happy at all, it stands to reason that the emperor should go to the queen's palace last night, but as soon as the banquet is over, the emperor will go back to the Qianning Palace by himself, you say it's not unhappy."
"Yes, yes, I also heard that last night the queen mother lost her temper because the emperor didn't come, and the servants in the palace suffered a lot."
"Hey, now that I think about it, we didn't go to the queen's palace to receive an errand, it's really a blessing."
Qi Zheng turned to look at them, sneered, and said lightly: "Why, I don't have the time to serve the master, but I have the time to talk here, don't you know if the disaster comes from the mouth?" Several people saw Qi Zheng hurriedly bent down: "The concubine master atonements, slaves and maids, slaves and maids are just." ”
Qi Zheng beckoned lightly: "Okay, go down, let this concubine hear you talking about the queen mother in the future, and I will definitely bring you to the queen mother to be disposed of." ”
"Yes, the slaves and maids don't dare anymore, and the slaves and maids retire." A few people left in panic.
Qi Zheng smiled slightly bitterly and continued to move forward.
"Why did the master stop them from talking about the queen?" Qing Chu asked puzzled.
Qi Zheng glanced sideways slightly, and said lightly: "What is the benefit of them talking about the queen like this, if this concubine stops it, what good will it do us if this matter is passed on to the queen and the queen mother, and if such a message is known by the queen mother, some things will be difficult to do." Qi Zheng was a little worried, frowning slightly.
"The slave and maid understand." Qingchu lowered his eyebrows.
The two walked into the Qianhe Palace, the palace maids waiting outside the door were busy, and Qizheng stood in front of the palace door with low eyebrows, waiting for the summons.
"Concubine, please." The palace maid came out and said.
Qi Zheng entered the palace with his head bowed, Ying Ying was blessed, and the warbler said: "The concubine asks the queen to say goodbye, and the mother is blessed." ”
A crisp sound of touching porcelain came, and then the queen was awakened: "Fu Wanyi, get up, sit down." ”
Qi Zheng got up with her skirt and said with her chin bowed: "Queen Xie." After that, Shen Yan walked to the chair next to the hall and sat down slowly, was quiet for a moment, looked sideways slightly, only to find that Zhen Concubine sitting next to him was looking at him with a smile, Qi Zheng smiled, and looked around, only the queen, Zhen Concubine and her were sitting in the hall.
The queen put the tea cup in her hand on the case and looked at the two with a smile: "The two of you came really early, I'm afraid the others haven't gotten up yet." "Greet the queen mother, how dare we delay this matter." Concubine Zhen said respectfully.
"Hehe, the two of you don't dare to delay, someone will dare to delay today, let's just watch." The queen held the ring and said lightly.
A few people sat quietly for a while, He Youzhu and Chen Xiying just came over, and sat on both sides after saluting together, and the last one to come was Wen Yue, although the queen was quite reproachful in tone, but she was not too embarrassed, and everyone sat in the hall with bated breath.
"Did the queen sleep well last night?" Yin Guifei asked with a smile.
The queen raised her lips and smiled: "Concubine Lao Yin is worried, and the palace sleeps very peacefully." There was silence in the hall again, until a shout came: "The emperor has an order." ”
Everyone was slightly startled, didn't think much about it, and hurriedly walked to the palace to get down.
Li Changhai walked into the hall and unfolded the holy decree in his hand and said: "The emperor has a decree, and now the concubine of the Zhen concubine of the Zhu Palace, Dong's Ling Kite is pregnant with a dragon heir, and she is specially promoted to be the concubine of the second grade, and she is moved to the main hall of Yi'an Palace. ”
"The concubine took the order, thank the lord Longen." The two of them walked together.
Li Changhai finished announcing the holy decree and withdrew from the hall, Qizheng helped Concubine Zhen to get up slowly, turned around and met the queen's cold gaze. "Congratulations to the two noble lords." The queen glanced at the two of them.
Concubine Zhen and Qizheng slowly returned to the side of the hall and sat down, and the murmuring around them was already that the two of them were already restless, and hurriedly retired after a while.
Out of the Zhaoxuan Palace, Qi Zheng and Concubine Zhen walked in the corridor, and Concubine Zhen smiled bitterly: "This palace never thought that she could climb up. ”
"This is the blessing of the mother, if the mother is a little prince in the womb, how can it be more than a second-grade concubine." Qi Zheng Wan Erdao.
Concubine Zhen shook her head lightly and sighed: "This palace hopes to be a person who watches the game, but in the end I still stirred myself into the game, if I don't get down, I will be forced to go down, Qizheng, you are much stronger than this palace, you will be promoted without a bed, and you are also a leap into three products, I am afraid that you are the only one in this palace, now as long as you are in the camp step by step, sooner or later, you will live in Yihua Palace." ”
Qizheng was suddenly startled, looked back and forth, and said in fear: "If my sister's words are heard by anyone, it will be a big trouble." ”
Concubine Zhen smiled indifferently: "It's right to know that the partition wall has ears." ”
Qi Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, and walked forward quietly, with a solemn expression, "Jin Feng Ronghua, is it joy or sorrow, why is it an oracle and a holy decree after he left suddenly, his heart, if he really can't guess it, the road ahead is still very long, is it just so true and false that the two are confused?"
