Chapter 194: Gaining the upper hand
In the evening, Xuan Lonely came to Guan Sui Palace after approving the excerpts as usual.
"Long live Lord is here, Long Live Lord please hurry up." As soon as Dou Lianyi heard the movement, he flew out with a shout.
Xuan Lin involuntarily bent up like a crescent moon from the corner of his lips, and caught up with her: "Don't run, don't run, be careful of the fetal gas." ”
"Do you remember that the concubine was pregnant, and she dared to put such a heavy burden on the concubine, and she didn't feel sorry for the concubine at all." It's good that Xuan Lonely didn't mention it, but when she mentioned it, she grabbed the white.
He held her waist and walked inside, coaxing all the way: "It's me who has neglected to overlook, how do you know that there are so many messy things in the harem, which makes you tired, come, I will rub your shoulders." ”
Behind, Su Yun and Xiuzhu watched the dignified Ninety-Five Venerable accompany him carefully, pinching his waist and rubbing his shoulders for the master, and couldn't help but smile at each other.
When he entered the house, Dou Lianyi put away the joke and took off his coat for him with his own hands, although his body was getting heavier day by day, she still didn't want to fake it to others for such an intimate matter.
"Su Yun, you go make a cup of maple dew tea." handed the dragon robe he had taken off to Xiuzhu, and ordered Su Yun to serve tea, and explained to him with a smile: "Drink this at night to calm your nerves." ”
Xuan Lonely only wore his middle coat, leaned on the couch casually, patted the vacant seat next to her and motioned for her to come over: "Don't be busy, come, sit and talk with me." ”
"Your Majesty, the concubines have something to ask for, I don't know if the emperor can agree." She obediently sat down next to him, lying on his shoulder, blowing like an orchid.
He turned his face sideways, his face and the skin of his face seemed to touch, and he took the opportunity to kiss her on the forehead, and said softly: "What's the matter, let's hear it." ”
"No, you promise the concubine first, and the concubine will talk about it." The woman was coquettish while pouting lightly on his body, her long and thick eyelashes flickering, her eyes exuding a misty light, and her small appearance was very charming.
His heart was teased by her, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he asked lazily: "What the hell, if you don't say it, I don't dare to agree casually." ”
"Could it be that you are afraid that your concubine wants to be the imperial concubine, so you don't dare to agree casually?" Dou Lianyi puffed out his cheeks and asked rhetorically.
Xuan Lili didn't think about it, and rushed out: "The imperial concubine belongs to you, it's just that the time is not ripe, why do you need to ask." ”
When she heard this, she was stunned, she was just a joke, how did she know that he was serious.
"The concubine didn't mean that, the emperor must not take it seriously." Dou Lianyi got up from his shoulder, clarified with a serious face, and then said, "Okay, okay, the concubine said it directly, the concubine wants to ask for a seal for Mrs. Zhou, can the emperor make her a beauty?" ”
"Why, she's your man?" Xuan Lonely didn't say anything, just asked lightly.
She knows that it is taboo to form gangs in the harem, and if a man doesn't understand who he is, he may have lost his color.
"The concubine just thinks she is pitiful, and she has been bullied like that and has never dared to speak up; In addition, the harem has always pursued open and secret fighting, and people who worship high and low can be seen everywhere, and the concubines want to promote those who are honest and distracted and benevolent, so as to correct the atmosphere of this harem. ”
This is the reason, but both the previous dynasty and the harem pay attention to the art of balance, the queen has just suffered a loss, if the other party is raised at this time, it will deepen the suspicion between the concubines.
Therefore, Xuan Lonely Mo did not let go: "No merit and no work, I'm afraid the teacher will be nameless." ”
"She can be regarded as the emperor's woman, and now that she has been wronged, isn't it normal for you to make decisions for her? Your Majesty, agree to it, okay, okay! ”
The man was rubbed and rubbed and begged by her, and his heart was already crispy, and when he thought about it, a woman had never "sacrificed her hue" for herself, and she felt depressed when she thought about it.
"That's it, it's better for me to come to Mrs. Xingzhou once, in this way, don't say that you are a beauty, even if it is a concubine, it is not impossible." He deliberately teased her with words.
"Not good."
Dou Lianyi was anxious when he heard this, and the words of opposition rushed out of his mouth.
"This is strange, don't you want to help her raise her position, I think about it, only this method can best convince the public, why is it not good?"
It's really fun to see her anxious, Xuan Lonely is away from a pair of phoenixes obliquely, and the tails of her eyes fly straight into her temples more and more, and the indescribable romance is wanton, making her love and hate.
"The concubine is just one of the many women in the emperor's harem, but how much Si'er hopes that it is only the only one who is lonely, whether it is body and mind." She hung her head gloomily, this wish was afraid that it would not be possible to realize it in this life.
Xuan Lili silently took her into his arms, he understood her thoughts, but unfortunately even as an emperor, there were too many last resorts, so he raised his voice and called: "Li Liancheng." ”
"The slave is here, what does the emperor command?" Li Liancheng, who was guarding the door, entered in response.
The man's subdued voice sounded in the room: "Spread my message: Mrs. Zhou is gentle and well-read, knowledgeable, and immediately named Zhou Beauty." ”
"Your Majesty."
She lifted her delicate little face from his embrace, smiled like a flower, and hugged her fists half jokingly and half earnestly.
"You, if I don't agree to you, I'm afraid that you will be petty again." Xuan Lili pinched her slightly upturned little nose with a little vigour.
Dou Lianyi deliberately shrank as if he was afraid of pain, and laughed like a thief: "How dare the concubine be petty, the concubine is the most obedient woman in the emperor's harem." ”
……
The next morning, all the concubines gathered in Guansui Palace as usual.
Du Wanying was the first to release the good news: "Sisters, the emperor has promised that the silver of each palace will rise by 30%. ”
"Really, it's still Concubine Wan who has face, thank you, Concubine Wan."
Sancheng said a lot, said a little, said a lot, everyone was naturally happy when they heard it, and a word of flattery led everyone to echo it.
"The concubine just said, Concubine Wan can't do anything when she goes out, who said yesterday that it is better to ask for a concubine." This sentence was thrown, and everyone tacitly looked at the vacant seat where the tail was sitting, and the poor Concubine Qi patted her legs, not to mention that she was beaten up, and now she can't get off the bed and on the ground.
Du Wanying was very proud, her eyes flew across the audience, and suddenly stopped on Zhou's body, and her face sank: "Bold Zhou, dare to sit indiscriminately, are you impatient?" "The rules in the palace are strict, and those who transgress are lightly scolded and scolded, and those who are heavily punished can be executed.
"Back to ...... Returning to Concubine Wanniang. ”
Zhou Meiren was so frightened that she bounced, and the more nervous she became, the more she stammered: "Minister...... Concubine ......"
"What a bold man, a little lady, she dares to call herself a concubine, come to someone, and drag down the palace to the twenty boards." Yesterday, Dou Ripple played all his majesty, I heard that everyone in the harem was afraid, and now it should be their turn, and take Dou Slut's people, the queen must be happy.
Dou Lianyi let out a sound at the right time: "Slow." ”
"Concubine Li has always prided herself on being fair and selfless, and yesterday even the queen's mother dared to be ruthless, why, when it comes to herself, it's not like that?" Du Wanying grabbed the other party's pigtails with herself, and was very satisfied with her rhetorical question.
The woman sitting at the top smiled slightly, and replied lightly: "The palace forgot to tell the sisters, last night the emperor ordained the Zhou beauty, come here, and invite Manager Li to enter the palace to announce the decree." ”
As soon as these words came out, the hall boiled all of a sudden, and there was a lot of discussion for a while, especially the two ladies of Rongwen, who were not good in their hearts, and hated that they didn't hold the thick leg of Concubine Li.
Du Wanying was shocked and angry, and the limelight she had finally grabbed was robbed by others; Second, when Xia Ruotong was promoted to Xia Concubine before, there was a voice in the palace that anyone who was close to Dou Lianyi would be promoted, and now the Zhou family was promoted to the position without merit and without luck, which further corroborates this statement.
In this way, in the future, who will dare to go against Concubine Li?
Li Liancheng left after reading the holy decree, and the concubines, whether they were sincere or fake, congratulated Zhou Meiren one after another, Zhou Meiren was unknown and used to being bullied, and she was surrounded by everyone at first glance, and she was at a loss, and she only knew how to thank her.
Looking at Du Wanying's face again, it was green and green, green and purple, angry but unable to vent, and finally got up and brushed her sleeves away.
"Alright."
Dou Lianyi smiled faintly and let out a sound.
Everyone immediately returned to their positions, and the hall that had been chaotic just now suddenly fell silent, and all eyes were cast upward, waiting to be revealed.
"The emperor has always liked people who are peaceful, virtuous and gentle, and Zhou Meiren is proof of this, hoping that the sisters will support each other, rather than fighting, and jointly maintain the prosperity and stability of the royal family."
She is down-and-out and generous, not slow, but she is dignified, and she can faintly show the momentum of not being angry and arrogant, so that people dare not obey.
As soon as the words came out, everyone praised themselves in unison, and they all said that they must keep in mind the teachings of Concubine Li, and everyone is united and friendly, and lives happily in the big family of the palace.
"Very well, if it's okay, kneel down." Solidarity and fraternity? Happy? What a beautiful word, she doesn't believe it, all she wants is a surrender from everyone.
In the sound of everyone kneeling, she took Xiuzhu's hand and left the main hall, and as soon as she returned to Baoxia, she heard Xiuzhu's voice: "What a beautiful flower bottle." ”
Dou Lianyi glanced at the blue and white glazed flower bottles specially provided by the Dingyao when he walked over, but they were scarce, and asked casually: "Guan Sui Palace doesn't seem to have ordered this, right?" ”
"I haven't booked it, but the little sixth son of the Internal Affairs Office sent it over, saying that it was the butler who was in charge of the war and specially honored you." Xiuzhu replied while inserting a handful of Yutang Spring into a sparse shape.
Su Yunyin said with a smile: "This dude is the queen's mother, and he has never taken Guan Sui Palace very seriously, but now he must have been bluffed by the majesty of the mother, so he hurriedly ran to offer his courtesy." ”
Is it really as simple as being courteous?
She just flashed a hint of doubt here, and a sharp soprano voice sounded outside: "Dou Lianyi, you are too arrogant, and you dare to grab even the things of the palace." ”
It's broken, and it's coming.
Dou Lianyi rose slowly, and the jade hand was handed out, allowing Su Yun to support himself and go out.
