The deposed imperial concubine (18)
"Niangniang......" The painting was taken aback, and Lily stretched her tone: "What's the hurry?" In the future, what should you do to Soho, or how to Soho, you are not allowed to let people see the clues. She didn't distrust the two of them so she specially told these words, if she really didn't trust them, she wouldn't say them at all.
The two palace maids also know it, and the reason why Lily advises like this is purely because she is worried that the painter's temper is not as calm as the poetry, and she is afraid that she will not pay attention to the stuffing and spoil her own affairs.
Both of them nodded, but they couldn't help it: "Niangniang really pulled Soho together?" They waited beside Lily, and had never seen Lily deal with Soho, and if they hadn't known Lily's personality and couldn't be funny, I'm afraid they would have thought she was trying to amuse the two of them.
Lily answered, closed her eyes, and stopped talking.
Empress Dowager Lu cultivated for more than ten days, and it was not until the fifth day of the second month that the palaces resumed the rule of going to Fengming Palace again to ask for peace.
Since the last time Soho received the olive branch handed by Lily, I don't know if Soho has a cautious and steady temperament, or is waiting to see Lily's strength, so there has been no movement. Lily also understands that although Soho has a grudge against Empress Dowager Lu in her heart, she is doing something that betrays the master, once the East Window incident happens, according to Empress Dowager Lu's character, I am afraid that she will not be able to tolerate her life. Good birds choose trees to perch, and it is reasonable for her to want to wait and see if the lily is worth her refuge.
In the Fengming Palace, the Empress Dowager Lu still did not appear in the apse, but the third concubine and Liu Wanyi had already arrived, and Su He stood in the main hall with her. And Ah Ji, who was newly promoted by Empress Dowager Lu's side, was nowhere to be seen, obviously waiting for Empress Dowager Lu in the inner hall. Lily glanced at Soho. She lowered her head, as if she couldn't feel Lily's gaze, Lily's eyelids drooped, and Soho wanted to see if she was qualified, and she also wanted to see if Soho was a smart person.
"General Gao returned to the dynasty victoriously, but he is really a tiger general of the Northern Qi Dynasty." Empress Dowager Lu waited for half an hour and still didn't come out, everyone in the Fengming Hall was sitting awkwardly, silent, occasionally only hearing the sound of the teacup lid hitting the cup, and Lily suddenly spoke. Breaking the silence of this room.
Concubine De was stunned for a while before she realized that Lily was talking to herself. She didn't expect Lily to praise her brother, so she couldn't help but stay for a moment, and when she came to her senses, Concubine De's face showed pride: "That's natural." ”
In the past, Concubine De had an extroverted temperament. I've suffered a loss since the last time. After being repaired by Emperor Yongming. Now that he has converged a lot, he is obviously worried that he will bring disaster to the Gao family because of himself. But people may learn to be obedient after they suffer losses. But the country is easy to change, but the nature is difficult to change, the Gao family heard someone praise the Gao family at this time, and the previous smugness returned a little bit, and his spirit was flying.
"General Gao's ability to write and martial arts and make great contributions to the Northern Qi Dynasty is really amazing." Lily praised again, attracting the puzzled eyes of Liu Wanyi and Concubine Xian.
Since Liang Mubei's accident, Lily's temperament has changed greatly, and everyone can clearly feel that she is talking a lot less now than before. The previous imperial concubine was jealous and liked to seize power, if An Xue climbed onto the emperor's dragon bed and had the child of Emperor Yongming, I am afraid that Zhou Baihe would be more anxious than anyone else to get rid of the piece of meat in the belly of others, so as not to threaten Liang Mubei's status.
But after Liang Mubei died in the pool of the imperial garden, as Emperor Yongming seized the position of Zhou Baihe's imperial concubine, and no longer favored her, after not going to the palace of the concubine for several months, Zhou Baihe's temperament has converged a lot, and now she is no longer as eager to seize power as before, and when she sees the emperor, she doesn't always think about Fang Er to come forward, and even An Xue has been pregnant for so long, everyone is waiting for her to make a move, but until now, An Xue is still raising a fetus in her own palace.
At this time, Lily actually praised Gao's brother, you must know that she was extremely unpleasant to Gao's before, that day Zhou Lily and Gao's entered the prince's East Palace almost at the same time, it can be said that Gao's robbed Zhou Baihe of the sweetness of the newlywed period, just as Gao's resentment of Concubine Xian robbed her favor, Zhou Lihe also hated her for robbing her favor by having a Gao family, and today she will boast about the Gao family, this is really the sun stretching out from the west.
"That's nature." When Gao heard Lily praise his brother again, he couldn't help but smile deeper, as if the previous haze had been swept away: "Brother Concubine has been studying under Zhou Changchi since he was five years old, learning riding and archery martial arts, and has been familiar with military books. Speaking of his brother, Gao looked forward to Shenfei, and his face regained a little of its former brilliance.
Concubine Xian and the others didn't care much about General Gao's achievements, and they didn't want to hold Concubine De's temperament, so they weren't very interested in Lily talking about this topic, so they didn't interject and listened quietly.
Lily picked up the teacup, touched the rim of the cup lightly with her lips, and then quickly put the cup down again: "I don't know about marching and fighting, but I have read some books and know a few allusions." ”
After she finished speaking, she paused for a while: "If you say that the most exciting, it is the Three Kingdoms period." Prime Minister Zhuge borrowed arrows from grass boats, and the battle of Chibi was also seen in this palace. Concubine De was only interested in the glory of the Gao family, but she didn't have much energy for these allusions, so when she heard Lily say this, she snorted listlessly, obviously a little unconvinced: "It's just a matter of winning by tricks, it's better to have a clear sword and a sword, and it's appropriate to fight hard." ”
"You can't say that, if you can win by scheming, it's better than fighting with your life, otherwise if your life is gone, even if you fight for wealth and wealth, you can't enjoy it, what's the point?" Liu Wanyi couldn't see Concubine De's arrogant appearance, she was still worried about Concubine De's hatred for making her childless, and she sneered at this time: "According to the concubine, it seems that the concubine is right, if you can scare off the enemy army with just an empty city strategy like Prime Minister Zhuge in the book, maybe the old general Gao will not end up like this this time." As soon as Liu Wanyi said this, Concubine De's brows turned upside down, and an angry expression appeared on her face.
"Ouch, look at the concubine's mouth, it's really time to fight, I'm sorry for Concubine De's sister, I blame the concubine for talking and acting excessively, and she actually offended the general, and the concubine is here to make amends to my sister." Liu Wanyi said, and slowly got up, Concubine De's face turned red with anger, and her whole body became nervous.
Concubine Xian was gloating and laughing on the side, and Lily sighed when she saw such a scene:
"Liu Wanyi's health is not very good, how can Sister Gao be as concerned as you? Although my sister's words are one-sided, it is not wrong, in ancient times, capable people prepared it, Zhou Yu beat Huang Gai, one is willing to fight, and one is willing to be down, which has also become a good story for the ages. When she said the second half of the sentence, her voice raised slightly, and she glanced at Soho again, Suho felt her gaze, raised her head, and her gaze just met Lily's, and she added a little more tone when she said, 'Zhou Yu beats Huang Gai, one is willing to fight and one is willing to suffer', and Soho heard it clearly.
In the ears of others, these two sentences did not sound anything unusual, but when Soho heard it, he always felt that there were other meanings, and when he was feeling a little doubtful, Lily spoke again:
"Okay, early in the morning, it's all because the palace shouldn't mention this fight, kill and kill, how can the women of the inner palace know about the battlefield? Pointing fingers here, it is inevitable to laugh and be generous. ”
Several people replied in unison: "What the concubine said is true." ”
As soon as the words fell, the Empress Dowager Lu was finally helped out by Ah Ji: "What do you say, such a lively look?" ”
Although she was asking, her eyes fell on Soho, and Liu Wanyi replied first: "It was the concubine who mentioned the matter of General Gao, so she sighed a few words, and talked about the ancient Prime Minister Zhuge Cheng, and Sister Concubine De was not convinced, saying that it was better to use tactics to force the enemy back than to kill the enemy with a knife and a shot, and it was better to comment on the queen." ”
Empress Dowager Lu hadn't seen her for a while, her face seemed to be a little better, she was wearing a thick dark palace dress, she looked extremely complicated, after listening to Liu Wanyi's words, she saw Su He Chong nodding her head imperceptibly, obviously what Liu Wanyi said was true.
A group of women in the inner palace actually talked about the affairs of the court, and the Empress Dowager Lu's eyelids drooped, blocking the coldness in her eyes, but she showed a just right smile on her face: "The women of the harem do not interfere in the affairs of the court." What's more, when it comes to war, where should a woman talk about it? Those who lead troops to fight wars, in addition to being brave and powerful, also need to have qualities such as wisdom, benevolence, and faith in order to serve the public. When everyone heard this, they all hurriedly said: "What the Queen Mother taught is this." ”
"The Queen Mother, the concubine was angry with Suho because of Mubei's affair before, and now she has calmed down, although she resents the person who hurt the concubine Mubei, and also curses her for not dying well, but if you think about it carefully, she was a little impulsive to blame Suho that day, and she didn't accept the concubine's two attempts to reward her, but she was afraid that the Queen Mother would blame?" Lily waited for Empress Dowager Lu to sit down, and said that she had rewarded Suho, Empress Dowager Lu didn't expect her to say such a thing, when she heard that she cursed the person who killed Liang Mubei to die a good death, Empress Dowager Lu's palm under the wide sleeve suddenly clenched, and a gloomy color flashed in her eyes: "The concubine is serious, Mubei's death, the mourning family is also very sorry in their hearts, it can be seen that this child has always had no chance with the emperor." The child had an accident in Fengming Palace, Su He didn't take good care of her, you should teach her a lesson, Su He is just a slave, where can you reward her so seriously? ”
At this time, the Empress Dowager Lu thought that Lily wanted to give the reward over the bright road, so as to win over the people in her palace, and sneered in her heart, Soho was her person, but the concubine thought that she could be subdued by a slap to a sweet date, and the Empress Dowager Lu lightly blocked Lily's words, and Lily was silent when she saw that Empress Dowager Lu said this.
