Chapter 125: The Calm Before the Storm
Nanshu opened the door, Shenghua glanced at him, and hurriedly walked inside, "Lili, there is one bottle missing, are you injured?" ”
After finishing speaking, I saw Qingli, sitting on the edge of the bed with one leg on the bed, with the palm of his hand on the instep, hurriedly walked over and pulled away the arm he was covering, and the purple-red instep met his eyes, "What's going on?" ”
didn't wait for Qing to leave the mouth, and then Nanshu who came over explained Shenghua's confusion: "Childe accidentally kicked on the iron plate, and he was injured!" ”
"Iron plate? In the palace-" Shenghua didn't believe Nanshu's explanation, so he was about to ask, Qingli coughed and said to Nanshu: "Nanshu, go downstairs to the kitchen and bring me some food!" ”
Shenghua swallowed the words that had reached his mouth, and waited for Nanshu to come out, before he sat down next to Qingli and reached out to poke his injury, "Say, Lili!" ”
How can there be an iron plate in the palace for him to kick! If you want to deceive people, you can deceive Nanshu, so he doesn't believe his words!
"Say what?" Qingli raised his eyebrows and glanced at him, then poured some more stasis and continued to rub the bruises.
His knowingly asked Shenghua so annoyed that he gritted his teeth, "If you leave you and want to hide it from me, when will there be an iron plate in the palace?" Who is taking the opportunity to embarrass you again? ”
Think about it, there are a lot of things that have happened in the palace in the past few days, the ceremony of worshiping the sky is advanced, the new national teacher succeeds, Qingyuan entered the palace, today he came to him early in the morning to have breakfast together, I heard that he went to his prince's mansion, and when he came back, he pinched a scroll of holy decrees, and set off into the palace again without stopping, saying that it was invited by the prince.
"It's really an iron plate, but it's an interesting iron plate!" Qingli didn't hear his question, and he laughed to himself.
I'm so happy when I'm injured, an interesting iron plate? Shenghua is the second monk of Zhang, and he was puzzled, "What iron plate hurt you, do you still think it's interesting?" ”
Qingli thought of Liu Rumo. His eyes flashed, and then his arm was on Shenghua's shoulder, "The new national teacher is not simple!" ”
"I'll ask you about the iron plate. What do you say the new national teacher does? Shenghua turned his head to look at him, a little dissatisfied with his bull-headed answer to the horse's mouth. Immediately, the white light in his head passed, and he suddenly reacted, pointed to his injured foot and whispered, "You mean"
Qing Li nodded matter-of-factly.
After two "tsk" sounds, Shenghua pressed his wound, and saw Qingli shrug his eyebrows in pain before withdrawing his hand, "Lili, look at what the swelling has become!" I see that it will take a few days for this bruise to dissolve, and this iron plate is not light! ”
The ridicule is obvious. Qingli pursed his lips and was silent, only rubbing the bruised wound, Shenghua laughed twice and stopped, his expression no longer as he had been joking, "You shouldn't be serious, right?" ”
He said before that he wanted to take advantage of Miss Liu's life experience to do something, but now that Miss Liu has directly ascended to the sky and become a national teacher, Liu Lin has voluntarily retired to the National Teacher's Mansion, but he went to provoke the current national teacher, and was trampled on by the national teacher and injured his foot, which can be seen. Not only did he not have a trace of embarrassment towards Miss Liu, but he was a little unpredictable.
"Qingyuan lives in the piano platform, and I don't think I will come back in the next few days!" Leave that sentence aside. Qingli picked up the brocade socks and put them on, but the boots were not allowed to be worn at this time, so he simply took off the other boot and put it side by side, and sat cross-legged on the bed.
"I'm asking you, what do you say he did?" Shenghua rolled his eyes, he changed the topic so bluntly, did he think he couldn't notice it?
"Li, Liu Lin has given way to Liu Rumo, what else do you want to do?" Shenghua's tone was extraordinarily serious. Now that the ritual is being brought forward, it means that many plans will be brought forward or changed. Although he only helped Qingli, if Qingli didn't tell him what he should do. There's no guarantee that he won't accidentally miss something.
Qingli squinted slightly, put his hands on his lap at will, tapped on the ground one after another, and pondered Shenghua's words in his mouth, "What do I want to do?" I want to borrow Liu Rumo! ”
"What!?" Sheng Hua couldn't believe his ears, he-he actually said that he wanted to borrow Liu Rumo, the new national teacher!
"Lili, are you crazy? Liu Rumo's current position is stared at by many people, and if you have a relationship with her, you will become the target of public criticism! What's more, don't you know that Qingyuan still misses Liu Rumo? ”
Yes, the rest is okay to say, Qingyuan has any thoughts about Liu Rumo, I am afraid that many people already know and see it, but at the moment, one is the emperor's favorite prince, and it is very likely to become the prince of the prince, and the other is the new national teacher who has just entered the palace, and he is trusted by the emperor, and he can't afford to offend anyone, so no one dares to talk nonsense at this time.
But if you don't dare to say nonsense, it doesn't mean that no one is staring!
He didn't go to the palace for the past two days, but he also knew that Liu Rumo lived in the Ming Shao Pavilion with a maidservant girl and the little master of the Liu family, and the forbidden army guards sent by the emperor secretly didn't know how many secret guards were sent!
This is just one of them, the second is Qinglin, Qingyuan, and Qingli, all three of them are hot candidates for the prince, who dares to guarantee that the emperor has not placed people around the three of them? Who can guarantee that there will be no adversaries around them?
It's going crazy! At this time, I want to move Liu Rumo!
"What you can think of, why can't I think of it?" Qingli asked rhetorically, it was precisely because he could see that Qingyuan had a deep mind about Liu Rumo, so he wanted to use a handful of Liu Rumo.
Rao is Emperor Qing, no matter how well he wants to protect Qingyuan, he has to ask Qingyuan to appreciate it, right? He had already seen that when the Holy Decree of the Qingdi was issued, Qingyuan rushed into the palace regardless of it, he saw that Qingyuan had thoughts about Liu Rumo, and then he had the temptation to go to the National Teacher's Mansion, but he didn't expect that it was really as he thought, Qingyuan avoided his conversation with Liu Rumo in the Yuelao Temple, and regarded him as a potential rival, so he didn't let him go with him, and it was the beginning of the Qingdi banquet
Qinglin is obsessed with women, but Liu Rumo's identity is there, needless to say, he doesn't dare to do anything to Liu Rumo, so he will invite Liu Rumo to the East Palace for dinner, and there will only be one answer, that is, Su's signal, and he, presumably in order to resist Qingyuan, also mentioned Qinglin to win him over.
"When will the ceremony of worshipping the heavens be held?" Shenghua asked with a twisted eyebrow, a little worried that Qingli would ignore his persuasion.
"I guess it won't take a month to happen, he can't wait!" Qingli said lightly.
He? A question mark appeared in Shenghua's head, which one was he in Qingli's mouth? Qingdi? Or Qingyuan?
Xu expected that Shenghua would be confused, and Qingli then said: "He sent someone to renovate my prince's mansion, and also increased the amount of silver, it seems that he can't wait to force the Su family to make a move!" ”
Shenghua was shocked when he heard this, "Then didn't you become a target?" After speaking, he sighed and said: "Yes, the same son, you and Qinglin are not Qingyuan after all, according to his attitude, as long as Qingyuan is not worry-free, sacrifice you should be!" ”
Shenghua's heart gradually became bitter, remembering that when he met Qingli in the palace, he obviously saw Qingli was friendly and smiling at everyone, but it made him look a little worried for no reason, and then he intentionally or unintentionally asked about Qingli from his mother, and knew about him and his mother, only to know why Qingyuan was domineering and arrogant when he was young, and he looked gentle and indifferent all the time.
Knowing that Shenghua was worried, Qingli patted him on the back, "Take it easy, your worries are unnecessary, I have already made his attitude clear on his side, and now he will be so obviously gifted, it is nothing more than to provoke the Su family!" ”
It's just that Emperor Qing moved this idea, but he didn't know that when he was busy remembering Concubine Ning and protecting Qingyuan over the years, the Su family took advantage of the convenience of managing the affairs of the palace to take good care of him, and from time to time he would send someone to remind him "unintentionally" how his mother died tragically on the way to escape in northern Xinjiang, so that he could remember the sins that Concubine Ning caused to him and his mother.
The Su clan will not make a move on him, but will only let Qinglin pull him together to deal with Qingyuan, after all, the enemy of the enemy is a friend, they have the same opponent, don't they?
"It's better for you to be careful, I can only help you privately after all!" He is the mother of the eldest princess, so he naturally can't go against the Qingdi on the surface, and it is his own choice to help him.
"I know, now all I have to do is wait and see." He doesn't plan to be the first bird, whoever likes to be who should go, in the name of the Qing Emperor repairing the mansion for him, he can just stay in the capital and do something else-
Dividing line-
On this day, Liu Rumo finished reviewing the fold early, dragged his sore arm back to Mingshao Pavilion, instructed Liu Yun with a few questions, and took a change of clothes to Hot Spring.
The door of the cubicle could be locked from the inside, and she left Qingya to accompany Liu Yun, slowly undressed herself, and walked down the steps made of warm jade into the steaming pool.
"Whew!" With a comfortable sigh, she slid into the pool along the wall.
The whole body relaxed and soaked in the water, the warm heat wrapped her, Liu Rumo closed her eyes, thinking of a way in her mind, four days have passed, Qinglin has not sent anyone to invite her since she left the East Palace four days ago, and there has been no movement on the queen's side.
Emperor Qing has not done anything in the past four days, she sends the approved recitals to him every day for reading, and she also watches him and Concubine Rou Niangniang love the concubine and call each other intimately.
It's as if all the qiē has stopped for a while, calmly making people unreal.
Definitely not, the queen is by no means a person who is content with calm and waits passively, which she can feel in the few meetings she has.
As for Qingli, it has been four days since she stepped on him, she did it on purpose, and she used some methods, it is estimated that it is not thorough, and it is appropriate to settle down, thinking about it, she bent her lips unconsciously.
"It's not a good thing to be too calm!" Holding his breath and diving his whole body underwater, Liu Rumo immersed himself in the fluctuating hot water, emptying his mind and not thinking about it.
Eleven days left. (To be continued)
