Chapter 206: Appointment (3)
Back in the palace, Huangfu Jingwen planned to stay alone in the Minxun Hall after approving the excerpt tonight, but Fu Qingwu heard the news that the Huangfu Jingwen was out of the palace and came to the Minxun Hall to ask for peace, Ma Hui heard the report and said to the little eunuch: "The emperor is tired today, you go and ask Concubine Li to return to the palace." ”
"Wait, let Concubine Li in." Huangfu Jingwen stopped the little eunuch.
Ma Hui wanted to speak again and again, but in the end he still persuaded: "Your Majesty, don't use those five stones to disperse today." ”
Huangfu Jingwen raised his eyes: "I have my own measure, don't say more." ”
"But the emperor, you are a slave to serve when you are young, that thing damages the dragon's body, and the slave is worried that you will continue to serve it"
Huangfu Jingwen pondered for a long time, hesitated to put down the pen in his hand, and was just about to speak, Fu Qingwu came in, Fu Qingwu knelt down and asked for peace: "Where did the emperor go, the concubine sent someone to bring food in the afternoon, and I didn't see the emperor." ”
Ma Hui glanced at the little eunuch standing at the door, and thought to himself: The emperor has Concubine Li's eyeliner by his side, otherwise the emperor will not return to the palace with the front foot, and Concubine Li will come with the back foot, it is time to clear the people around the emperor.
"Oh, I'm out of the palace to visit Zuo Xiang."
"If Sister Imperial Concubine knew that the emperor cared for her father so much, she would definitely be grateful to the emperor." Fu Qingwu sneered in his heart, the emperor really loves the house and Wu, even Chu Xiangwan's father takes care of him like this, what woman in this harem can get such a sincere heart from the emperor.
"I don't want her gratitude, as long as she's happy and can understand my affection." Huangfu Jingwen said with a smile.
This ordinary sentence made Fu Qingwu speechless, and the harem concubines were competing for positions and proud family promotions. It may not be worth mentioning at all in Chu Xiangwan, the emperor is willing to give it, but she doesn't care at all. And the emperor made other women feel cold, and he always only had Chu Xiangwan in his eyes.
"The emperor is affectionate, and the concubines are moved." Fu Qingwu said slowly.
"According to the old slave, in this palace, only Concubine Li knows the general situation best, and she also understands the emperor's heart best." Ma Hui interjected. The meaning of these words clouded Fu Qingwu's smile, but she couldn't do it.
"Your Majesty, how is Zuo Xiang's health? Concubines are not allowed to visit as concubines. I also feel ashamed of my sister's care for me that day. Fu Qingwu's "virtuous and virtuous" is really not something that ordinary women can pretend.
"It's okay, by the way, you and I will go out of the palace in three days."
"Su Su tidbits are late, and Fei Fei is light. Does the emperor want to bring his concubines to enjoy spring? Fu Qingwu asked happily.
"Yes. I want to take you to the suburbs of Beijing for spring. That's what you say to the outside world. ”
"Externally? What does the emperor mean? Fu Qingwu looked at Huangfu Jingwen suspiciously.
"I'm going to meet someone, but the stakes are too high for outsiders to know, and I want to take you with me to do a trick." Huangfu Jingwen said with a smile.
"Can the emperor tell me where you want to take your concubines?"
"You'll know when the time comes." Huangfu Jingwen didn't say it explicitly, and after a while, he lowered his voice and asked, "Concubine Li, did you bring that thing?" ”
"Yes. The concubine took it. Fu Qingwu knew what Huangfu Jingwen was referring to, and she smiled secretly. Fortunately, the emperor still has a place to rely on her, the queen mother is not allowed to have five stones in the palace, so she found it from outside the palace, if she really listens to the queen mother's words and no longer lets the emperor take it, then how can she get the emperor's favor?
"Alright, you all push it down." Huangfu Jingwen waved his hand and ordered.
"Your Majesty!" Ma Hui frowned and persuaded.
"Alright, you can go down too." It's not that Huangfu Jingwen hasn't thought about quitting Wushisan, but he is very addicted to it and there are thousands of things to deal with, so he hasn't made up his mind yet.
Ma Hui withdrew from the hall, looking worried, last time it was clear that the Queen Mother had found out about Wushisan, but Concubine Li came out of Cihe Palace unharmed, it can be seen that the Queen Mother must have reached a deal with Concubine Li, he only hopes that the Imperial Concubine can come back soon, maybe only the Imperial Concubine can save the emperor.
As soon as the three-day deadline arrived, Huangfu Jingwen took Concubine Li out of the palace unconsciously, they sat in the carriage and walked very fast, Fu Qingwu watched the carriage go all the way to the mountain, she turned her head to Huangfu Jingwen and asked, "Why did the emperor bring me to Shangyang Mountain?" ”
Huangfu Jingwen said: "Do you know that there is an annex here? ”
Fu Qingwu shook his head.
"I went to Zuo Xiang's Mansion a few days ago just to borrow his courtyard from Chu Huaifeng."
Fu Qingwu was a little stunned, this was where Chu Huaifeng's courtyard was located, she was shocked, could it be that the person the emperor came to see was Chu Xiangwan?
"What's wrong? The face became so ugly. Huangfu Jingwen stroked Fu Qingwu's shoulder and asked.
"The concubine is fine, Xu was a little late to take care of Kai'er last night, so she is not in good spirits today." Fu Qingwu hid his expression, but his heart became cold little by little.
"You take care of Kai'er meritoriously, and when you come back later, you don't have to work so hard." Huangfu Jingwen said with a smile, but as everyone knows, his sentence made Fu Qingwu even misunderstand that the person he met today was Chu Xiangwan. In fact, Fu Qingwu was blindsided, if it was Chu Xiangwan, Huangfu Jingwen would take her back to the palace immediately, how could she meet quietly here.
When he arrived at Shangyang Mountain, Huangfu Jingwen did not go straight to the other courtyard, but went to Chu Xiangwan's clothed tomb. Fu Qingwu got out of the carriage with him, but found that there were two tablets in the distance, one was written about his beloved wife Fang Ruyan, and the other was relatively new, and it was written on his beloved wife Chu Xiangwan. Fu Qingwu didn't expect that Huangfu Jingwen actually erected a clothed mound for Chu Xiangwan, the ancestral system stipulates that all women with concubines and above will be buried in the imperial mausoleum, even if it is a clothed mound, the emperor is also violating the ancestral system by doing so.
"Ma Hui, let people tear down the mound of clothes." Huangfu Jingwen looked at the name on the tablet and smiled happily.
"Yes." Ma Hui nodded, waved his hand to the little eunuchs beside him, and motioned for them to do something.
"Sister Imperial Concubine is coming back, this mound really shouldn't be kept." Fu Qingwu adjusted his mood, walked to Huangfu Jingwen's side and said.
"In the future, whether she lives or dies, she will be with me." The implication is that Chu Xiang will become the queen at the party, because although the concubine and above can be buried in the imperial mausoleum, they cannot be put together with the emperor's coffin, unless this woman is the queen.
"Of course, my sister is so blessed." Fu Qingwu smiled slightly, but she couldn't help but hold tears in her eyes, and she immediately lowered her head to prevent anyone from noticing.
"Alright, let's go to the other courtyard, I have important people to meet." Huangfu Jingwen took one last look at the stone tablet and strode away.
Someone had already arrived in the courtyard one step ahead of them, and at this moment he was standing in Chu Xiangwan's room looking at the painting hanging on the wall, which was made by Chu Huaifeng when Chu Xiangwan was playing in the bamboo forest when he was a child. (To be continued.) )
