Chapter Seventy-Five: Compassion

Queen Wang Mi slammed the tea cup in her hand on the ground, glared at Fu Qizheng angrily, and gritted her teeth and reprimanded: "The fox charms the master's things." ”

"Imperial sister-in-law, how can you do this." Jiayi hurriedly came, squatted down and looked at Fu Qizheng's injured hand, which was already hot and red, and wanted to help Fu Qizheng up, Fu Qizheng shook his head lightly, did not move at all, and looked calm: "The queen didn't let the concubine get up, how dare the concubine." ”

"Imperial sister-in-law, what mistake did Aya Ronghua make, and the imperial sister-in-law should be punished like this, if there is no reason, it will not damage Fengyi."

"Jiayi, your elbow turned out before you got married, and you can't wait to climb into the Fu family, do you know what shame is?"

"Queen Mother, it is the concubine who makes the mother angry, even if there is any anger sprinkled on the concubine, the eldest princess has a noble status, how can the mother slander the eldest princess like this." Fu Qizheng immediately spoke, raising his eyes to look at the queen.

"It's really a sister-in-law." The queen sneered, glanced at Fu Qizheng who was kneeling on the ground with his clothes dirty, and said coldly, "Okay, this palace doesn't want to be disturbed by you to disturb the nature of the Southern Tour, Aya Ronghua's clothes are dirty, don't wait for Ronghua to change his clothes, just take these dirty clothes and throw them away, they are dirty and eyesore." ”

Jiayi and Qingchu picked up Fu Qizheng, owed slightly, turned to leave, and bumped into Emperor Yuan as soon as they got out of the pergola, and Fu Qi followed behind Emperor Yuan.

"How did you get it like this?" Emperor Yuan frowned.

"Sister...... What's wrong with the concubine's hand? Fu Qi was worried, and wanted to go up to check, but because Emperor Yuan was there, he retreated.

"It's the Queen......"

Fu Qizheng immediately interrupted Jiayi's words: "It was the concubine who served tea to the queen's mother, the concubine was stupid, and her hand trembled and knocked over the teacup, so she made it look like this, fortunately, the queen's magnanimity did not blame, and the concubine went to change her clothes and retired first." He lowered his head and didn't look at Emperor Yuan, and left in a hurry after owing.

Back in the carriage, Qi Zheng frowned, and only then did her expression faintly reveal a hint of pain, blowing lightly on the back of her red and swollen hand.

"Master, I have wronged my master." Qingchu said in pain.

"Don't be wronged, it's the queen who is wronged." Fu Qizheng said expressionlessly, "Let's change clothes, it's a pity that this good clothes are good." ”

Changing clothes at random, Qing Chu took the medicine and smeared it on Fu Qizheng, and said while applying the medicine: "Someone must tell the emperor about the suffering suffered by Niangniang." ”

"So you don't have to open your mouth by yourself, the more the concubine retreats, the more the queen is wronged, okay, you go and tell the eldest princess and brother, the concubine is fine, let them rest assured, and let the eldest princess not come over for the time being, if the emperor asks, he will say that I don't see anyone, and if someone comes, they will all be dismissed."

"Yes." Qing Chu finished taking the medicine and went down to pass the word.

Fu Qizheng leaned his head against the window, closed his eyes, and took a deep breath......

After resting for half an hour, the car continued to move forward, Fu Qizheng read silently, Qingchu lowered his head as if he had fallen asleep, a few days Fu Qizheng went deep into the simple way, sent all the people who came to visit, the night or stayed in the palace or the big tent, Fu Qizheng quietly went to his place to stay overnight after everyone, and got into his carriage in the early morning before everyone, the queen was quite satisfied with Fu Qizheng's behavior of avoiding it, maybe she was afraid.

"Master, you can go to Jiangyang City today, I heard that the emperor plans to stay for three days, and the next trip is Jiang Lin, I heard that the queen plans to arrange for Xiao Tao next to her to come over to serve the master after the slave and maid leave, Princess Jiayi refused for the master, and planned to let the water mist take care of the master, and let the little peach serve the princess."

"Hmm." Fu Qizheng lowered his head to read the book, rubbed the corners of his forehead lightly with the hand supporting his head, and smiled lightly, "Without the Queen Mother, the queen is so confused, I once thought that the most foolish person in the palace was Yin, but when I came for more than a year, I found that Yin was also a smart person, but she was the queen, and her position was all supported by the Queen Mother." ”

When he arrived at Jiangyang Palace, Fu Qizheng still waited for everyone to enter before getting out of the carriage, his clothes were extremely plain, his hair bun was not too decorated, and he looked a little haggard.

"Sister, what's wrong with sister." Just as Fu Qizheng was about to proceed to the palace gate, Wen Yue walked out from behind the pillar next to her and bowed gently, "I haven't seen my sister for many days, Wen Yue is really worried, so I will wait again and forgive my sister." ”

"What else, as everyone thinks, I'm just afraid of the queen." Fu Qizheng smiled bitterly, didn't say much, and walked straight into the palace to ignore Wen Yue.

"Concubine, Aya Ronghua is too ruthless and unrighteous, how can she treat her master like this." Wenyue's maid Yan'er said.

Wen Yue reprimanded: "Shut up! No matter what my sister has become, this concubine will not allow you to say that about your sister. ”

Entering the room, someone had already prepared pastries and fruits and put them on the table, waiting for the palace maid to serve tea, Qingchu covered the door, Fu Qizheng sat at the table, his eyes fell on one of the plates of pastries, a smile appeared on his face, and his expression became relaxed: "Yuluo tea cake, how can there be Yuluo tea cake." "This is Fu Qizheng's favorite pastry, but he hasn't told anyone since he entered the palace, even Qingchu doesn't know.

"How does the master know? According to the slave, this is just an ordinary tea cake, not necessarily made of jade carrot tea."

"When I was a child, I had a poor appetite for a while, only a little for three meals, hungry all day, my father and mother were very worried, and the nurse tried her best to make some exquisite desserts, it is said that the jade tea has an appetizing effect, but the taste is very bitter, the nurse added the jade tea to the pastry to make the jade tea cake, tired of eating the dessert oil, the bitter taste of the jade tea cake made me have a great appetite, since then I love this pastry very much, I know the taste of it, but after entering the palace, I have never tasted it again."

"The slave maid really hasn't seen the palace chef do it, I think maybe the people of Jiangyang also like this way of eating."

"That concubine is really destined for this Jiangyang." Pick up a piece and put it in your mouth, in the end you are still homesick, you can't go back to being so carefree in the past, and now you don't know when it's a head.

There was a knock on the door, "Who." Qing Chu asked.

"In the evening, the emperor held a banquet in the main hall, and he came to inform Concubine Ronghua."

Fu Qizheng nodded his head, and Qing Chu replied, "Got it." After a short rest, in the evening, Fu Qizheng changed into a slightly darker green dress, the dull color made the complexion fairer, even if the powder was applied, it was faintly haggard, and even the rouge could not cover it. Fu Qizheng glanced at the back of his hand, it was almost better, and he smeared some rouge on the back of his hand, the color was light but he could see the difference with the surrounding skin color. The green silk was pulled up, and a lot of beaded gold hairpins were worn, which were gorgeous and precious.

Brought Qingchu to the front hall, almost everyone arrived, the scale of Jiangyang Palace is still small, the front hall is not large, there are very few women in the harem, only four tables, one table for Emperor Yuan and the queen, one table for Jiayi and Wenyue, the vacant one is reserved for Qizheng, and many palace maids and eunuchs are waiting in it.

When Emperor Yuan saw Fu Qizheng, his expression stretched a lot.

Fu Qizheng walked into the hall and blessed himself: "See the emperor, the queen's mother, the concubine is late, I hope the emperor and queen will atone for their sins." ”

"If Aya Ronghua puts less effort into dressing up, she won't be late." The queen teased.

"Excuse me, take a seat." Emperor Yuan said with a smile.

The queen glanced at Emperor Yuan with some resentment, although she complained, she was helpless, and picked up the wine glass on the table to wipe out the bitter wine.

Fu Qizheng sat down, and Jiayi on the side was much more relieved to see that Fu Qizheng was safe.

"I haven't seen you for a few days, it's really worrying."

Fu Qizheng said: "Look at me well." ”

"I know sister, you have your own thoughts, so I didn't go to you according to your instructions, he asked me many times, and he was very worried about you, no matter how I said it, I didn't believe you, but I still had to let him see his baby sister safe and sound another day." Jiayi whispered......

"Maybe my brother will leave my sister behind when he has a beautiful woman in the future." Fu Qizheng quipped. When he raised his eyes, he met Emperor Yuan's gaze, was slightly startled, his expression became solemn, he looked at each other for a moment, squeezed out a smile, and lowered his eyes to stop looking at him.

Silk music played, singing and dancing, everyone's tired hearts after many days of running around relaxed a little, but Fu Qizheng looked full of heart from that moment on, playing with the bracelet, and did not raise his head. Jiayi wanted to interrupt her thoughts many times, but she couldn't help it, perhaps because she understood where her melancholy came from, and she was helpless. Suddenly thinking of something, he covered his mouth and coughed lightly.

Fu Qizheng came back to his senses and looked at Jiayi, Jiayi's eyes fell on the Qizheng table, Qizheng looked at it, his face was shocked, the pastries placed in the corner of the table turned out to be Yuluo tea cakes, and the other people's tables were all ordinary pastries. Fu Qizheng looked at Jiayi puzzled, and Jiayi smiled: "I'll tell you later." ”

After singing and dancing, Fu Qizheng signaled Qing Chu to pour a full wine, just put it down, hesitated for a while, glanced at Emperor Yuan, looked at the back of his hand, withdrew his hand behind the table and wanted to wipe off the rouge that had been wiped in advance.

Jiayi noticed the strangeness of Qi Zheng, looked at the back of her reddish hand, let the mist fill the wine, got up and picked up the wine glass, and said with a smile: "Brother Huang, sister-in-law, Aya Ronghua, Lan Jieyu, this time I am fortunate to be able to tour the south with my brother and see the vast mountains and rivers of my Daning, Jiayi is honored, I hereby salute the emperor's brother and sister-in-law and the two concubines with a glass, I wish my Daning a prosperous country, and the mountains and rivers will be eternal." ”

"When did Jiayi become so good at talking?" Emperor Yuan smiled and raised his glass to congratulate him.

The queen and Wen Yue got up with it, Fu Qizheng hurriedly pulled his sleeves to cover the back of his hand, got up and picked up the wine glass, and drank it all with everyone.

Emperor Yuan put down the cup, turned around and glanced at Qi Zheng, but in the end he still saw the abnormal color, and frowned slightly when he looked at the haggard that she wanted to hide but couldn't hide.

Before the banquet was over, Fu Qizheng gave a salute and retired, and Jiayi also followed out. caught up with Fu Qizheng: "Why give up?" ”

"Jiayi, you shouldn't help me." Fu Qizheng's expression was gloomy.

"I know you're prepared, but why do you have to ......?"

Fu Qizheng looked up at the starry sky and choked up: "Because I still can't use him, even if I thought very clearly before, even if I didn't hesitate, even if I hated the queen again, the moment I saw him, I softened, and I couldn't bear to use it to win his sympathy to deal with the queen." ”

"The wine is my toast, the royal brother can't complain about you if he sees it or not, okay, it's the queen who is ruthless first, we can't do too much."

Fu Qizheng knows in her heart that she can't blame anyone, the suffering and regret come from her own heart, and she only complains about a love word, and a love word makes people feel compassionate.

"That plate of pastries was specially made for you by the emperor's brother, and you can ask your brother what you like ......." Jiayi said.

"Okay, don't talk about it......" Fu Qizheng interrupted Jiayi's words, knowing that the answer was just more self-reproach, although she had already guessed a little, and then decided to wipe off the rouge.

Soon after returning to the room, there was news that the emperor was suddenly angry and angry with the queen, Fu Qizheng didn't feel a trace of pleasure, she asked herself over and over again in her heart, shouldn't she be happy, didn't she achieve her goal? He closed the door and leaned behind the door, his eyes closed, and tears quietly slipped down his cheeks......
