Royal Palace, Imperial Garden

The overwhelming flowers are fascinating, and there is a faint fragrance coming from the faint fragrance, which makes people intoxicated.

Li Weiyang saw the noble concubine sitting in the pavilion through the heavy flower branches, and a subtle smile appeared on his face.

Concubine Wuxian was born in a famous family and has unparalleled beauty, but in the palace, the most important thing is not her background and beauty, the most important thing is the heir, if an ordinary woman has no heirs, it will be difficult to sit firmly in the position of the concubine, let alone sit for so many years. But this Concubine Wuxian survived well, and even adopted a son, raised him as an adult, and helped the queen to assist in harem affairs for more than ten years. This ability is by no means something that anyone can do.

When I met this titular mother-in-law for the first time, even my legs were weak. Time has passed, and Li Weiyang believes that he has enough confidence and calmness to face such an "old man".

There were more than a dozen palace maids and eunuchs standing around the pavilion, all of them bowing their heads and eyes, silently holding their breath, and not even hearing a cough. In the middle of the pavilion sat a middle-aged beautiful woman, with the most fashionable bun on her head, shaped like a beautiful cloud on the horizon, black and shiny piled on top of her head. Her skin is fine and smooth, and it looks radiant in the sun, like a piece of jade. Those eyes looked dark and transparent, exuding a beautiful and moving brilliance. The rosy lips have a slight touching smile, like a faint nectar between the lips. At this time, she was looking at Li Weiyang with a smile, and that smile was very gentle, not like a calculating character.

Li Weiyang was not surprised to see Concubine Wu Xian so young and beautiful, she knew very well that this concubine was very concerned about maintaining her beauty, and every day she would ask the palace maids around her to collect the morning dew, gather them together and carefully pick out the impurities, and use them to cook tea; Collect the pollen of the flowers to make the most precious incense powder and use it to rub the face; The reddest and freshest petals are mixed with the nectar newly taken from the stamens, and the essence is steamed and steamed according to the thousand-year-old recipe and various beauty materials, and the essence is taken out to make rouge. These incomparably expensive beauty products are packed in gold boxes and jade pots, which are used every day to groom and dress up. It is precisely because of such a beauty technique that she can maintain her youth and favor for such a long time.

In this world, there is nothing that can last for no reason, and all of them do not require their own efforts and struggles, this is the first lesson that Concubine Wuxian taught Li Weiyang, in a sense, Li Weiyang, who first entered the palace, was actually not used to it, she didn't know how to assist her husband and please everyone, this Concubine Wuxian was either strict or gentle, and taught her a lot of things. It is precisely because Concubine Xian has always treated her like a warm and considerate elder that Li Weiyang treats her as his most intimate relative. It's a pity that she later found out that when Concubine Wu Xian taught her this, she didn't see her as a daughter-in-law, but made her a real helper of Tuoba, a perfect stepping stone. When the accident happened, it was this "mother-in-law" who she originally seemed to be the most gentle and noble, who jumped out and said that she Li Weiyang was vicious and selfish, and she was sitting in the position of the queen without virtue and talent. At that time, Li Weiyang suddenly realized that the kindness of others to her was not considerate and gentle, but because she still had use value, and once this value was gone, she would have no need to save it.

Li Weiyang smiled, took a few steps forward, and saluted.

In Li Wei's central courtesy, Concubine Xian was also looking at her. At first glance, she only felt that her skin was fair, her appearance was delicate, and her facial features were not very beautiful, but there was an indescribable taste. Under her deliberate attention, Li Weiyang can stand tall and upright, with a smile on his face, if he didn't know the other party's methods, he would definitely think that he was a shy and introverted little girl. However, Concubine Wu Xian is not a fool, Li Weiyang gained a firm foothold in the Li family so quickly, and successively defeated her mother-in-law and the eldest sister who was alluring to the country and the city, and she was by no means an idle person, it stands to reason that this is just a battle between the Li family's inner house, and it has nothing to do with Concubine Xian, but the matter involves Tuoba Zhen, which makes her very annoyed. It's not that she loves this son much, it's just that the overall situation is at stake, and she can't sit idly by.

"You kid, you look like it, get up. Come, come to me. After Li Wei's central bank finished the salute, Concubine Xian beckoned very warmly.

Li Weiyang stepped forward with a smile, Concubine Xian took her hand with a smile, looked her up and down, and said to the female official next to her: "This child is born delicate, and her temper looks good, I only heard the emperor and the queen mother praise her in the past, but I have never seen it, this time it can be regarded as a chance to meet here, and we can be regarded as having fate." ”

Of course, there is fate, and fate is quite big. Li Weiyang smiled and said obediently: "Thank you for your compliment." ”

Concubine Xian nodded in praise, she was very familiar, shh If Li Weiyang hadn't known her smiling tiger character for a long time, he was afraid that he would really be fooled and think that she had good intentions, but in fact, if Concubine Xian smiled softly at a person, the faster that person would die. It's definitely not a good thing that she's being so gentle with herself now.

Concubine Xian suddenly began to look at Li Weiyang's clothes again, and frowned lightly: "Why are you dressed so plainly?" ”

Li Weiyang said lightly: "My mother passed away, and Weiyang didn't dare to wear red and green, but there were rules in the palace that forbade mourning clothes, so Weiyang could only choose a light color to wear." "She neither violated the etiquette of guarding the funeral for the eldest lady, nor did she break the rules of the palace, what else did Concubine Xian have to say?

Concubine Xian suddenly didn't realize the Tai Chi in these words, and smiled more kindly: "I have also heard about your mother, I remember that there are still a few such elegant and light fabrics in the warehouse, Jinxiu, you go to find it and bring it back to Miss Li, it is considered a little bit of my heart." ”

A female officer answered the call and walked away quickly.

Li Weiyang glanced at the back of the other party's departure, raised his eyebrows slightly, lowered his head, and said gently: "Thank you Niangniang, Weiyang is embarrassed to accept your gift." ”

Concubine Xian waved her hand and said, "What's polite!" These things are a gift for greetings. Saying that, she said, "It's a pity, at your age, you should discuss marriage in two years, and now that your mother has died, I'm afraid that you will have to delay for two more years. ”

This is quite mysterious, Li Weiyang didn't seem to understand, and showed the same regret: "Weiyang is not in a hurry, but the eldest sister is old," Speaking of this, she seemed to suddenly remember something, and looked embarrassed, "But the eldest sister is different from Weiyang, she looks vulgar, and she is a concubine, the third highness and the fifth prince like her very much, the eldest sister said, when the mother's funeral is full, you can set the marriage." ”

Concubine Xian's face changed, and a cold light flashed in her eyes.

The jade pendant given to Li Changle was just to stabilize the Li family and win over the Jiang family, in fact, she was not satisfied with this Li Changle at all. If Li Changle was still the daughter of the Li family with infinite scenery, it would still be a good plan to marry Tuoba Zhen to be a concubine, but Li Changle was stupid and ran to give advice to the emperor, and he was not a person inside and out, and even the fifth prince wanted to marry her, but the emperor sprayed a dog's blood, and now if it is about Tuoba Zhen and her marriage, I don't know how much trouble it will cause. But no matter how troublesome it is, it is much better than Tuoba Zhen taking advantage of the mother's funeral and the eldest lady of the Li family to do something reluctant, if Concubine Xian stood by and let the matter spread out, Tuoba Zhen would be far more affected than the Li family. Concubine Xian had no choice but to send the jade pendant as a delaying strategy. Now that Li Weiyang talks about this matter, Concubine Xian is even more blocked, but she can't show the slightest clue, and she can't help but feel secretly annoyed.

"Silly boy, I'm talking about you, your eldest sister naturally has your father to worry about, I will care so much when I fell in love with you at first sight, say a few more words, don't care too much." Concubine Xian just regained her old look.

"Sister Xianfei is so interested, what are you doing here so early in the morning?" A voice came, Concubine Xian was stunned, then turned around, and suddenly laughed: "It turned out to be Concubine De's sister." ”

Concubine Zhang Defei wore a smoky purple carved silk robe, and her sideburns were sparsely slanted with a few hairpins with dark red agate hanging tassels, which looked much quieter and more elegant than the dazzling concubine. She walked into the pavilion surrounded by all the female officials, her expression was as calm as deep water, and even the silk tassels hanging from the hairpin were only delicately swaying with her footsteps, flashing silver and emerald sparkling waves. Seeing that Li Weiyang was also there, she smiled faintly: "Why did the county lord enter the palace early in the morning." ”

Li Weiyang bowed his head and saluted, but he secretly shook his head in his heart, as soon as he entered the palace, he was afraid that it would spread all over the palace, the palace was never a secret place, and today, whether it was a virtuous concubine or a virtuous concubine, they all came prepared. Concubine Xian's words just now show that she is just here to test her own details, but what about Concubine De? What is her purpose? After she repeatedly affirmed that she had nothing to do with the Seventh Prince, did she still have any thoughts? She can understand a mother's feelings of protecting her son, but if it goes too far, she will have to fight back, and then she will inevitably implicate Tuoba Yu.

"I looked at the county lord as pure and lovely, and I kept her to say a few more words, but you have arrived, sister." Concubine Wu Xian smiled skillfully.

Concubine Zhang Defei smiled, Li Weiyang looked like a pure child, but that was just a superficial phenomenon, she was a girl who was very deep in the city. The last confrontation was my own carelessness, and I was tricked by this little girl, at a young age, I have such scheming, and it is really not simple. It's a pity that they have formed a feud with each other, otherwise, it must be a great help. I did this recklessly. You need to know that sometimes, one wrong step, one wrong step, Concubine De's eyes flashed fiercely. I don't know why, seeing this girl today, watching her deal with herself as usual, I have a strange feeling in my heart. Li Weiyang kept saying that he wanted a dedicated husband and did not allow men to take concubines, so the more Yu'er insisted on marrying her, the more she couldn't keep her, otherwise in the future, Yu'er would really be bewitched by her and forget the great cause, and there would be endless troubles!

On the other side, Concubine Wu Xian looked coldly, a string of jade beads wrapped around the sleeves of the red golden lotus bracelet, in the early morning sunshine with a luster like spring water, this play, she watched it with great interest, originally thought that Li Weiyang was just a scheming little girl, but looking at Concubine De's appearance, it seemed to be quite taboo.

Concubine Zhang Defei's beautiful eyes fell on Li Weiyang's body, but she smiled, but there was infinite coldness in that smile.

At this moment, a little eunuch was carrying a box inlaid with gold and jade, and Shi Shiran walked over from the other side of the garden. He walked over and greeted Concubine De and Concubine Xian, and then said: "Your Majesty gave Concubine De a golden hairpin with an eight-tailed phoenix, and Concubine Xian Niangniang with a jade glass cup." ”

The box opened, and sure enough, I saw a golden hairpin, on which an eight-tailed phoenix was vividly carved, and there was a green jade glass cup next to it.

Concubine Zhang Defei smiled, instructed the eunuch to come forward, took out the golden hairpin with his bare hands, looked at it carefully for a moment, and then said with a smile: "I am this age, Your Majesty still treats me as a little girl, this kind of golden hairpin is beautiful but beautiful, but the gem on it is a colorful glazed stone, and the county lord is about the same age to wear it." As he spoke, he casually made a gesture on Li Weiyang's head, as if he had the intention of giving her the golden hairpin.

Li Weiyang took a step back and said respectfully: "Niangniang is always young and beautiful in His Majesty's heart, and Weiyang's status is humble, so he doesn't dare to hope for extravagance. ”

Concubine Zhang Defei smiled, put the golden hairpin back into the box noncommittally, and said unintentionally: "Okay, Lan'er, send the county lord out." ”

A female officer with a good face came out of the queue and led Li Weiyang out with a smile.

This female official named Lan'er had an ordinary appearance, but she was very gentle, and she spoke softly all the way: "The county lord is careful of his step. "The county lord walks slowly." Occasionally, she will also introduce some palace customs to Li Weiyang, "This is Concubine De's favorite phoenix chrysanthemum, which is the queen's favorite five-leaf peony ......" When she spoke, her voice was soft, tactful and tactful, and she had a different kind of power.

Li Weiyang looked at her and fell into deep thought, she believed that she was not mistaken, the cold light in Concubine Zhang Defei's eyes was murderous. She still wants her life! But today, why did you let go of the opportunity so lightly?

"What is the county lord thinking?" Lan'er asked with a smile.

Li Weiyang glanced at her lightly, as if unintentionally: "I think, where did the leading female official in the Empress Dowager's palace go just now?" ”

Lan'er's smile was slightly restrained, and she said as usual: "Our mother embroidered a Buddhist scripture for the Queen Mother yesterday, and I wanted to send it to the Queen Mother in person this morning, but I happened to meet the virtuous concubine Niangniang in the garden, and after saying a few more words, I ordered the palace maid to send the Buddhist scriptures to the Queen Mother, so as not to make her anxious." ”

"Oh, I see." Li Weiyang seemed to suddenly realize.

Lan'er smiled meekly: "County Lord, please come here." ”

Li Weiyang pretended not to know, and continued to walk forward with her, this is the way out of the palace, Li Weiyang naturally will not admit his mistake, this palace, she has walked countless times, Lan'er did not take the opportunity to lead her to other places, so, what is the purpose of Zhang Defei specially arranged for Lan'er to send herself out today? Is it impossible to kill yourself again in the palace?

At the gate of the palace, Lan'er said with a smile: "The carriage of the Li Mansion is waiting outside the small road gate, and the county lord walks slowly." Speaking of this, she stretched out her hand and helped Li Weiyang, Li Weiyang's body shook, and then she glanced at Lan'er carefully, the expression on her face was extremely gentle and calm: "Thank you." ”

The palace gate was in front of her, but just as she stepped out of one leg, there was a noise behind her: "Catch her!" ”

When she turned around, she was already behind the Sen Ran Imperial Forest Army.

Li Weiyang's expression seemed to be smiling: "What does this mean?" ”

Lan'er was also surprised: "This is the county lord of Anping, who left the palace on the order of the queen mother, what are you doing here?" ”

A guard commander took two steps forward, and said with a cold face: "Please come out of the palace slowly, Concubine De is invited!" ”

Li Weiyang sneered, and sure enough, it didn't stop!

This time, it was not in the Imperial Garden, but in the Queen Mother's Palace, this time, the Queen Mother sat at the head, and her face could not see the clues. Concubine Xian looked like she was watching a good show, while Concubine De was full of anger: "Come on, search her well!" ”

Several palace maids flocked to the city, and Li Weiyang said coldly: "Concubine De Niangniang, what do you mean by this!" ”

Concubine Zhang Defei said coldly: "Li Weiyang, the golden hairpin that His Majesty gave me just now is missing, and you are the only one among all the people who has touched the golden hairpin, so now I want to search your body!" ”

Although Li Weiyang is the daughter of a courtier, he was born in the Prime Minister's Mansion and has not yet married, if Concubine Zhang Defei is searched here today, whether it is searched or not, it will be ruined if it is spread! Concubine Wu Xian just had a casual smile, and watched this scene for a long time, as if sitting under the stage and watching a wonderful drama.

The Queen Mother said: "Concubine De, the matter has not yet been concluded, so you can't be so arbitrary." If the body search is really done today, it will greatly hinder the child's future. ”

Concubine Zhang Defei glanced at Li Weiyang contemptuously: "She can steal the golden hairpin, but she may steal any other valuables." Since she has become a thief, don't be afraid of being faceless, unless she proves her innocence today, I categorically cannot tolerate this kind of thief! ”

Li Weiyang's face remained unchanged, and he said coldly: "Concubine De Niangniang, the golden hairpin was taken out by yourself, and you also put it in by yourself, I have never touched a finger, why do you say that the golden hairpin was stolen by me?" ”

Concubine Zhang Defei snorted coldly and said, "Whether it is stolen or not, just search for it!" ”

Li Weiyang looked at the other party coldly, the dignified imperial concubine, actually used this kind of inferior means, of course, this method seems ordinary, but the lethality is very great, if she is convicted of stealing, the stolen thing is still the golden hairpin given to the concubine by the emperor, it will definitely be a dead end!

She said coldly: "Although Weiyang is cold, he will not do such things as chickens and dogs, if Niangniang insists on searching, why not search these palace maids around her?!" Or go and search the palace people of Concubine Xian, it is unknown if they took it! Just staring at Weiyang alone, did you not know the prophet, did you guess that Weiyang must be the thief?! ”

Concubine Zhang Defei didn't feel a slight color, and sneered, "Who in this palace doesn't know that the people around me have the cleanest hands and feet, and they have never lost anything, and it's the same with Sister Xian, you say so, you are clearly deliberately provoking the relationship between us, at a young age, with such vicious intentions!" Come on, first beat her with twenty boards to punish her for being disrespectful! As Concubine Zhang Defei's voice fell neatly, there were already eunuchs on the side who took the thorn stick, said "offended", and immediately wanted to beat it.

The thorn stick that punishes people in the palace, selects a two-finger thick thorn strip, and there are countless barbs on it, and if you are beaten with twenty boards, you will definitely have your skin and flesh blooming! Li Weiyang smiled coldly, and even stretched out his arm to stop the thorn stick in the eunuch's hand, and shouted: "Slow! ”

Concubine Zhang Defei elegantly raised her slender eyes and called, "You dare to resist-"

Li Weiyang smiled lightly: "Where did Niang Niang say, of course Weiyang didn't dare, Weiyang is indeed soft-spoken, Niang Niang doesn't care about it, but the Queen Mother is still here, even if this case has to be interrogated, it should be tried by the Queen Mother, or the queen should be tried, Niang Niang actually wants to interrogate in person, so overstepping, I'm afraid it's not appropriate!" With her past understanding of the Queen Mother, she is gambling, she bets that the Queen Mother will not want her to die! She bet that the Queen Mother still has three points of appreciation for her! She bet that the Queen Mother would not let a palace concubine dispose of her at will!

Concubine Zhang De's face changed, and she realized that she was in a hurry, and hurriedly said: "The queen mother atoned for her sins, and the concubine was for a while—"

The Queen Mother glanced at Concubine Zhang Defei coldly, Concubine De was stunned, and a layer of cold sweat suddenly appeared behind her back, how could she forget, the Queen Mother is not a random person! The Queen Mother looked coldly at Concubine De and lowered her head, and then stared at Li Weiyang, silent, not knowing what was going on in her heart.

At this moment, someone outside suddenly reported: "Your Majesty has arrived." ”

Everyone was stunned, but Concubine Zhang Defei's expression was expected, because the emperor was invited by her, Li Weiyang had sharp teeth and sharp mouth, the emperor admired her very much, and today I want the emperor to see how he found the golden hairpin from this girl's body!

Concubine De and Concubine Xian hurriedly got up to greet them, and when the emperor saw them, he nodded slightly, and said, "What's the matter?" Didn't the county lord of Anping enter the palace to accompany his mother, why did he make a theft? ”

Concubine De had already ordered someone to report the matter to the emperor, and at this moment she showed a look of grievance: "I didn't dare to disturb the holy driver, but this matter is really strict, and the concubines and others didn't dare to call the shots, so they specially invited His Majesty and the Empress Dowager." ”

The emperor saw that her face was pale, and said with pity: "Since you came back from hunting, your body has been extremely weak, why are you using such qi now?" ”

Concubine De's eyes were full of tears, don't turn her head and gently wipe the corners of her eyes, Fang choked and said: "The palace has always been safe and sound, who knew that there was such an unsightly thing as stealing today." The county lord is stealing something else, and the concubine can't ignore her young age and ignorance, so she just gives it away. It's the golden hairpin that His Majesty has just rewarded. ”

The emperor was quite surprised, glanced at the virtuous concubine on the side, and asked, "Golden hairpin?" ”

Concubine Xian's face showed a look of pity: "I'm afraid that the county lord is young and has shallow eyelids, and when he sees the beauty of the golden hairpin, he has a mind that he shouldn't have for a while." ”

When she said this, she was clearly in the ground! Li Weiyang sneered and watched the two women play, how fortunate she was to offend two favored concubines at the same time! Of course, this qiē is all because she is involved in the battle between the princes! Concubine Xian should hate her, but this Concubine De is really full and has nothing to do! Is it an unforgivable sin for her to reject her son, to use such a clumsy trick to frame her!

Li Weiyang didn't know that in Concubine De's heart, Tuoba Jade was the moon in the sky, but this moon suddenly ran over to tell her one day, he fell in love with the insignificant Li Weiyang, if Li Weiyang was interested, Concubine De would give her a position as a side concubine, leaving her by Tuoba Yu's side, but she dared to refuse Concubine De's suggestion, and even dared to resist, this is something that must not be tolerated! In addition, Tuoba Yu kept saying that she wanted to marry her as a concubine, Concubine De had to consider that if Li Weiyang really became a concubine, the famous ladies and ladies she wanted to marry for Tuoba Yu would no longer be able to enter the door, and all the forces she was bent on seeking for her son were lost. Mothers in the world are very irrational when faced with their son's problems! Every time Concubine De saw Li Weiyang, it was like seeing a thorn, how could she not want to pull her out! In her opinion, the last time was just a momentary miss, and this time, it will definitely not fail!

Thinking of this, Concubine De seemed to have tears in her eyes: "Originally, the county lord liked it, and the concubine also thought about giving it to her, but this was given to the concubine by His Majesty himself, and she couldn't cut ......her love no matter what," she said with a sad look, "The concubine is angry, I really can't stand it, it's obviously something that everyone sees, and the county lord refuses to admit it." ”

As she spoke, she glanced at the palace maids beside her. One of the palace maids knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, the slaves and maids have all seen it with their own eyes, among the people present, only the county lord is the closest to the golden hairpin, since the golden hairpin was stolen, she must have stolen it!" ”

The emperor looked at Li Weiyang, he was not in the mood to deal with this kind of idle matter, but Concubine De looked aggrieved, so he couldn't ignore it, after all, he had wronged Concubine De last time.

Li Weiyang faced the emperor's gaze, but he was completely fearless: "Your Majesty, although the courtiers are dull, they are not enough to steal the golden hairpin of the mother, there must be other reasons for this, please Your Majesty Xià is clear!" ”

Concubine Xian said coldly: "Look at the county lord, you are a weak and weak person, why are your thoughts so complicated?" If there are mistakes, they can be corrected, and there is great goodness. If you really stole something, you should admit it earlier, Your Majesty is merciful, and I don't think I will punish you. But if you don't change your mistakes and don't admit them, you will be punished. ”

Concubine De coughed lightly, her eyebrows were slightly cold, and her voice was also sharp and cold: "Sister said well, the county lord has walked out just now, and he can't hide anywhere," she called in a manly voice, "Lan'er!" ”

Lan'er agreed and stepped forward: "The slave is here." ”

Concubine De said lightly: "You saw where the county lord hid things just now?" ”

Lan'er bowed her head and said: "I haven't seen the county lord take out the golden hairpin all the way, if she really stole it, it should still be on her." ”

Li Weiyang suddenly changed color, anger rose between his eyebrows, and he had to suppress his anger and said: "Niangniang has always been merciful, but now she has to search her body at every turn?" If this matter spreads, how will Weiyang gain a foothold in the future? ”

Concubine Zhang Defei looked over coldly, Lan'er was full of guilt, stretched out her hand to Li Weiyang, and was about to open her sleeves, and said, "I'm sorry county lord, since the thing is on you, the slave and maid can't help but take a look." ”

Li Weiyang saw her reach over, slapped her in the face, and said angrily: "Presumptuous! You can't touch me! ”

Lan'er was slapped heavily, and she was also beaten for a while. She is the first proud palace maid beside Concubine De, and she has served for many years, she thinks she is very shameful, and she has never even suffered a word from Concubine De, how could she have suffered such a grievance? Before she woke up from that slap, Concubine Zhang Defei couldn't hold it back, suddenly changed color, and said angrily: "Li Weiyang, what are you doing!" "Li Weiyang is not hitting Lan'er, it is clearly his own face!

Don't talk about Concubine De, even the emperor and the queen mother are stunned at the moment!

Concubine Xian's tone was very cold and hard: "County Lord Anping, you are too bold, this is the imperial front, you dare to do it!" ”

Li Weiyang didn't have a trace of fear, she slowly glanced at the emperor: "Your Majesty is Mingjun, naturally she will not punish an innocent person," then she smiled coldly, and said: "Weiyang has not many clothes on his body, if the golden hairpin is on his body, he can fall off with a casual shake, why does Niangniang have to ask someone to search, Weiyang will show Niangniang himself!" Saying that, she actually took off her coat by herself, shook it casually, and then reached out to untie her inner robe, which startled everyone else, and the Queen Mother said, "Stop!" What does this look like! ”

Li Weiyang said aggrievedly: "Queen Mother, Weiyang is proving his innocence as the ladies said!" ”

This girl is so sharp-toothed and sharp-mouthed, she refuses to suffer at all, the queen mother and the emperor glanced at each other and couldn't help but smile bitterly. In fact, the Queen Mother didn't believe that Li Weiyang would steal things, she didn't look like the kind of child with shallow eyelids.

Concubine De's face was like frost: "Lost your honor in front of the palace, Li Weiyang, you are too rampant, you dare to mess around like this in front of the palace!" ”

Li Weiyang's cold face was filled with infinite coldness: "Back to Your Majesty, how dare the courtiers make a noise, but although the courtiers are humble, they are also the daughters of good families, and it is difficult to tolerate other people's body searches. "It's a different thing for her to prove her innocence and someone else to search for it.

Concubine Zhang Defei's face was hard to look at, she didn't expect Li Weiyang to dare to do it against herself, let alone that nothing fell out, her beautiful eyes looked at Lan'er coldly, Lan'er was taken aback, and her heart was even more confused, she obviously took advantage of Li Weiyang's inattention to stuff the golden hairpin into her sleeve, Li Weiyang shook his robe just now, why didn't it fall out?

Seeing this, the Queen Mother said lightly: "An Ping is right, since you want to search, you can't just search her, and the other people present should also search one by one." ”

The Queen Mother spoke, and immediately a female official stepped forward and called out the palace maids around Concubine Xian and Concubine De, lined up in two rows. The Queen Mother said coldly: "If it is found on you people, it will be severely punished!" ”

The palace maids looked at each other, but they couldn't say a word.

Li Weiyang watched from a distance and did not speak. Although her identity as a concubine was criticized, but after all, she had the blood of the Li family flowing in her body, and she was the county lord canonized by the emperor himself. Her identity, in the final analysis, is very different from these slaves!

I searched them one by one, but in the end I found nothing. Concubine De raised her eyebrows: "See, there will be no people with unclean hands and feet around me!" ”

The Queen Mother frowned, if nothing can be found, then the final charge still falls on Li Weiyang, she just took off a layer of outer robes, even if she really wants to search her underwear?

Li Weiyang smiled, and suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed: "There is another person who has not been searched." ”

Everyone's eyes fell on Lan'er, and she looked at Li Weiyang dumbfounded. When the female official heard this, she looked at the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother nodded, so she really walked to Lan'er and searched carefully, but after a while, she heard a clanging sound, and a bright light fell to the ground.

When everyone saw that it was the phoenix golden hairpin given by the emperor to Concubine De, they were in an uproar.

The emperor's eyes only looked at Concubine Zhang De, who was shocked: "It's because you are too confused, you actually raised this kind of thief around you, and you also wronged the county lord." You should pay her. ”

Concubine Zhang Defei was dumbfounded, almost speechless, and even the virtuous concubine next to her was extremely surprised in her eyes.

Concubine Zhang De looked at Lan'er suddenly, Lan'er was so frightened that she knelt on the ground, trembling, she has been helping Concubine De Niangniang with errands, and she has never missed a hand, this time she thought it was just a trivial matter, who knew that there would be such a mistake!

Concubine De gritted her teeth: "Lan'er has followed me for many years, and she will never do such a thing." ”

The emperor's tone was as soft as the April wind: "Okay. Since the stolen goods have been obtained, there is no need to talk about them. ”

Concubine De was still a little unconvinced: "Your Majesty, this ......"

The emperor's tone was so light that there was no trace, but his tone was extremely gentle: "This matter is also a trivial matter to put it bluntly. ”

Concubine De refused to give up: "It's okay to steal, but the county lord lost his honor in front of the palace, this is a big crime, did the emperor spare it like this?" She's so reckless and rude......"

The emperor frowned, and the queen mother on the side smiled: "You shouted and shouted to kill just now, but you really scared this kid enough, and there is no need to investigate the loss of honor in front of the palace." According to my opinion, in today's matter, the emperor must have clear rewards and punishments in order to calm down this matter. Then, she said casually: "Take that palace maid down and beat her to death with a stick." ”

Lan'er was frightened, and hurriedly cried and begged: "The Queen Mother spare her life, spare her life!" ”

However, the eunuch in charge responded: "Yes." Then he raised his face, and several little eunuchs understood, and immediately dragged Lan'er down. Lan'er was so frightened that she couldn't beg for mercy, and was dragged out like a rag bag.

Everyone could only hear dozens of screams outside, which gradually weakened, and the eunuch came in to report: "The Queen Mother has died." ”

Concubine De involuntarily felt a chill on her back, but Li Weiyang's lips contained an extremely cold smile, which quickly made it hide in the corners of her lips.

When the emperor saw this, he agreed with the queen mother's approach, so he bowed slightly: "Cut off your hand and hang it on the palace gate, so that all the palace people in the palace can see, what is the end of stealing and betraying the master!" ”

Concubine Zhang Defei fell sharply, her eyes met the emperor's thoughtful eyes, and her heart was cold. She was frightened and frightened in her heart, and she couldn't stop shivering, the emperor glanced at her lightly, and said: "The subordinates around you have done something wrong, you have to control it more in the future." ”

Concubine Zhang Defei was not stupid after all, she reacted quickly, gritted her teeth and smiled: "Yes." The slaves who stole in this way can't be kept, and if the emperor doesn't send them, the concubines will kill her to make an example. ”

The Queen Mother's eyes sank, and she looked around at everyone, which was already an unquestionable tone, "In the harem, you must remember the lesson, and everyone must think about what to do and what not to do before doing things, don't follow in the footsteps of that cheap maid!" ”

All the palace maids were frightened, and immediately knelt down and said, "Yes, please calm the anger of the Queen Mother." ”

Li Weiyang also knelt down and said, "Please calm the anger of the Queen Mother." ”

The Queen Mother glanced at Lady Zhou, she immediately went up to help Li Weiyang, and the Queen Mother said softly: "You have been wronged, pass on my will, and give the county lord of Anping a hundred taels of gold and a hundred pieces of silk cloth." ”

Concubine Xian couldn't help but look at Li Weiyang with admiration, she thought that this girl would die today, but she didn't expect to be extremely Tailai, but the most angry person now should be Concubine De.

Li Weiyang thanked him, then walked to the middle, bent down to pick up the phoenix hairpin, looked at it carefully for a moment, and said, "It's really exquisite." Then, she held the hairpin in the palm of her hand, covered it with a long sleeved robe, and then walked up step by step, saying, "The hairpin is so beautiful, the mother should wear it." As he spoke, he put the hairpin on Concubine De's sideburns with a smile on his face.

Concubine De was angry in her heart, and she wanted to drop the hairpin immediately, but when she saw that the emperor and the queen mother were looking at this side, she could only forcibly suppress her anger, and said with a smile on her face: "Lord Anping, today I was confused for a while and wronged you, I hope you don't have a grudge." ”

Li Weiyang's smile was extremely deferential: "Whatever Niangniang says, it's all such a cheap maid who is ignorant, how can Weiyang take it to heart." ”

When she said the word "cheap maid", her eyes were cold and scraped on Concubine De's face, and Concubine De was almost trembling with anger, but she couldn't help but endure it.

The Queen Mother nodded: "Okay." Today's matter is here, so go back. ”

The emperor left first, and then Concubine Xian went out with Concubine De's hand, and stopped a little when she passed Li Weiyang, Concubine Xian's gaze slid over her without any temperature and emotion, as if she was just looking at a small grain of dust, which was not worth caring about at all: "The county lord is really smart and capable." ”

Li Weiyang hurriedly said: "Concubine Xian Niangniang has won the award......"

Concubine Xian smiled without saying a word, Concubine De glanced at her coldly, and then left with Concubine Xian. Li Weiyang looked at the phoenix hairpin on Concubine De's bun, and a smile of unknown meaning appeared on his face.

Walking out of the main hall, Li Weiyang raised his eyes to look at the blue sky in front of him, looking far away, the Taiyong Palace, Zhonghe Palace, and Jiaxing Hall of the previous dynasty were extraordinary, golden and brilliant, and a white pigeon came from nowhere on the eaves, flapping its wings and flying away.

Li Weiyang smiled, Concubine De, everything has a cause and an effect, since you have wronged me, I naturally want to pay you back!

Rather teach me to bear the world, and stop teaching the world to bear me! You forced me to do this, don't blame me for being vicious!

------Off topic------

Everyone asks me a question about the male protagonist, the male protagonist has already come out, and the emotional drama is relatively slow to heat up! Well, I'll admit that this novel is seventy percent a fight scene......
