Chapter 416: Seat after the Council
At this time when Ying Zheng has the intention to blame, if I make a slight mistake, Lin Jixiang will usher in endless disasters.
"The king is looking at him at the moment, and naturally feels that everything he does is wrong, does it matter what the concubine says?" I asked rhetorically and looked at Yingzheng, and said implicitly: "No matter how you say it, he also works for the king, if the king wants to condemn the crime, he has to wait until he has done his best before executing." ”
Hearing my dissatisfaction and my plea, Yingzheng took a deep breath and asked accountably: "Are you complaining about him?" ”
There is nothing fair or unfair between Yingzheng and Lin Jixiang, and I am not qualified to say who is unfair to whom.
"Is there any injustice?" I stared faintly into his eyes.
Turning his nose up at my question, Ying Zheng looked away coolly.
"Having or not, giving birth to your heart; The scenery of the road is artificial. ”
I understood that he couldn't figure out why I would push back from the position, but if I had to explain it to him, I couldn't.
I looked at the hem of his robe, he looked at the vacant realm elsewhere, neither of us spoke, neither of us left, maybe he was just like me, hoping that the other party would speak first and bring some change to this stalemate.
Even though he and I wanted that turnaround, we still stood in such a lonely position.
He and I were both angry, so I didn't feel how weird the atmosphere between us was, but from the eyes of the people, I must have felt that we were very awkward at this time, because when Zhao Gao came in from outside the hall, he first paused in confusion at first glance, and then bowed down and walked to Ying Zheng's side.
"Your Majesty, the hour has come, and the ladies are already waiting at the table."
Ying Zheng didn't move, and his eyes didn't move; I didn't move, and my eyes didn't move. Zhao raised his eyes and walked between the two of us. chose to wait in silence.
My body is heavy, my legs and feet are a little unstable, although I am stiff, but I still can't help but move, Yingzheng thought that I was going to move my feet, so he looked at me and asked coldly.
"You, do you have anything to say?" He struggled to convince himself and gave me another chance.
It's not good not to have a chance, but there is a chance. I'm even more worried.
Lin Jixiang's two "posterior" characters, if they contain a little bit of the meaning of a fish dying and breaking the net, then the ending of my hot-headed desire to be the queen will be lively.
"The king recruited slaves and concubines to set up a banquet, he should have the answer in his heart, if he wants the slave concubine to ascend to the throne conditionally, the slave concubine will never dare to hope extravagantly."
I lowered my head, but I could still feel Yingzheng's gaze that was enough to burn my heart, although it didn't take long for me to leave him after I spoke, but it made me feel very sad in my heart.
Ying Zheng is ahead. After me, he walked very fast, and he threw me away in a few corners, and I knew that he had exhausted his patience and dignity with me. With a slight injury, he went in and sat down on his own.
I also know that when I went in, I was treated like a lot of people, and I knew that nine out of ten of my eyes were disgusted. Therefore, I did not look back.
"Everyone has arrived, right?" He looked at Zhao Gao and received a positive response, and Ying Zheng came over. He looked at the position of the table and said loudly, "Let's start the table." ”
The reunification celebration is imminent, and at this time, Ying Zheng summoned so many people to dine together, needless to say, they all know the meaning of dà, so these princesses seem to be extraordinarily knowledgeable, and their words and deeds are also very restrained.
After three rounds of drinking, Ying Zheng raised his glass again with an expressionless face, but this time he didn't drink it in a hurry, but coldly glanced at the seat below.
"Today, I have dinner with all the concubines, one is that He Daqin is unified, and the other is that I want to talk to everyone about the candidates for the next position."
Ying Zheng's short words caused everyone present to be nervous:
For the women of the inner palace, what is closely related to their own lives is who the incumbent is in charge, although the reputation is to serve Ying Zheng, but how many people can be looked at by Ying Zheng, so the words of the people in the back position are enough to determine the future of everyone present.
And if you can ascend to the back position, then there is nothing to ask for in this life.
"The person who sits in the back seat of the widow must be virtuous and virtuous, and have a common heart, and those who are capable live in it, those who are talented live in it, and those who serve the public live in it, so everyone is expected to be crowned queen, as long as you are qualified."
He looked at the people in the next seat, and said with satisfaction: "But does anyone want to nominate the candidate in their own mind?" ”
This kind of thing, everyone wants to spend their own family, but it doesn't seem appropriate to promote themselves in public, and they are afraid of embarrassment if they are silent, so everyone looks around left and right, and Mrs. Jing is the first to speak.
"Historically, the candidates for the throne have been determined by the ancestors or the king, and now that the ancestors have passed away, it is natural for the king to decide, and the king is invited to directly order that slaves and concubines will be followed."
Mrs. Jing gave up to Yingzheng, and the people below did not dare to be ambiguous, and responded to Mrs. Jing's words in unison.
"Slaves and concubines are subject to each other."
Ying Zheng didn't mind that his first provocation was avoided by Mrs. Jing, and after a week, he continued to speak.
"The lover Lu Ejing has been working with the widow since the beginning of the widow's king, and gave birth to two sons of Fusu and Wazhang for the widow, although Wazhang died early, but Fusu fought bravely and made outstanding achievements. What do the concubines think? ”
As soon as these words came out, it showed that Yingzheng decided to set Mrs. Jing as the queen, and Mrs. Jing was the best person, and who dared to be slack off among the people below, so they all agreed.
"Yes!" Echo the unanimous voice.
Ying Zheng's shreaquent gaze swept all corners of the hall with a charity cover, and even in my low eyebrows, I felt his gaze linger on my side no less than twice:
Was he deliberately testing my reaction, or was he looking tentatively at everyone present to see what his guard was about?
"Your Majesty," Mrs. Li shook her body to support the table and got up, leaning her forehead against the servant who supported her, and concealed that I could only hear a slight sad tone with suspicion that was close to her size: "The slave concubine was rude and disturbed the king's Yaxing, but the slave concubine's head was swollen tightly, so she retired first." ”
It is estimated that it is really depressed and drunk in her heart, so Mrs. Li will attract Yingzheng's attention at this time.
"Oh?"
Ying Zheng's eyes were still gentle, but when I looked up, I could clearly see that his pupils were shrinking sharply.
If Mrs. Li is convicted, then Mrs. Jing is a unique candidate, as a lover of the room and the queen there is a huge difference in heart, she single-handedly covered this Qin Palace, and I have something to do with Fusu, can I still have a good life?
On the other hand, Li Si is now working hard to formulate the unified world standards for Yingzheng, if something happens to Mrs. Li at this time, can he still do things with all his heart?
I've already broken Ying Zheng's heart, and I can't help him with anything else, so I'll help him with Mrs. Li's life and death honor - and help me with my own survival from now on.
Although I also don't want Mrs. Li to ascend to the throne.
Mrs. Li noticed Ying Zheng's impassivity and the rapidly sluggish atmosphere in the hall, and when he saw that Ying Zheng did not open his mouth and was about to continue talking, I interrupted her at the right time.
"Your Majesty, Mrs. Li may have drunk too much, and there is freshly brewed lemon water in the concubine hall, so I will take some of it to relieve Mrs. Li's difficulties."
I stood up and sat down, and retreated as I spoke—I knew in my heart that no one could become the queen of Yingzheng, and although I wanted to participate in this bloody battle, I couldn't participate, and I didn't want to suffer from the scrutiny of Yingzheng and his outer minions in vain.
To be honest, if it weren't for Lin Jixiang's presence, I would really want to try my efforts to fight for the back position, although history is an empty record of Ying Zheng's back position.
What has been passed down for thousands of years, who knows if it is crooked?!
It's just that Yingzheng doesn't allow us to leave, because because we're gone, and his big drama will be missing the two most potential power of appreciation.
"Qixi Palace Luo Onion, you go to Qixi Palace to get some lemon water for Concubine Zhu Ai's hangover." He angrily ordered Luo Onion, who he didn't like.
Ying Zheng must be angry with me for disturbing the progress of his director's play, otherwise he wouldn't have taken out his favorite lemon water in my palace for the "Zhu" princesses to drink.
I should have been puzzled by the fact that he had scattered my special brew like this, so I showed a look of surprise and fear, and let them flash by in moderation - these are not happy to be done for Ying Zheng, he should be able to be a little more comfortable with me in his heart.
Under the cover of watching Luo Cong leave, Mrs. Li looked at me suspiciously and sat down in the seat, I hurriedly stepped forward to pretend to be unstable, and opened my mouth slightly, and said, "Wait! ”
Although Mrs. Li couldn't guess my intentions, she looked at Ying Zheng with an unknown expression, and finally didn't act rashly.
After coming to the Qiongyang Palace, the behavior of people from the Qiongyang Palace inviting me to see Yingzheng was seen by many people, and it must have spread, and I was the last one to arrive after Yingzheng before the banquet, and what I said and did Yingzheng was a mystery to them, so although they were dissatisfied with me, they were also a little timid.
"Since Mrs. Xi has the heart to prepare sobering wine and lemon water for the concubines, then the people in the list will drink it openly, so as not to disappoint Mrs. Xi's sincerity."
Ying Zheng's words clearly have eighty percent of the gambling component, but I can only listen to it dryly, and I dare not say more.
"Do as the king commands."
Mrs. Jing tilted the corner of her lips to look at me, and after receiving my looking back, she warned me of the troubled things by the movement of raising the wine glass in my hand and the cold light of her eyes.
Obviously, if Ying Zheng has a dislike for Mrs. Li at this point, then Mrs. Jing will perform a decent play in due course, and she will naturally become the queen of the world's dreams; And I seem to be hindering her path to the post-lockdown. (To be continued......)
