CHAPTER XLIV

Three days later, a woman at the door of the imperial study cried pear blossoms with rain: "Your Majesty, the concubine asks to see the emperor, the concubine knows that she is wrong, the emperor, you forgive the concubine!" The voice was sad, and his face was full of tears, but there was no trace of sadness in his eyes!

Yun Zichen sat at the desk and thought for a while, today is the third day, why did she come? Isn't it five days? After thinking about it carefully, I understood her intentions, and lowered my head to continue to watch the music, but the crying continued to come into my ears and into my heart, although I knew that she was acting, but I still couldn't help but feel distressed!

"Grandpa Jiang!" Gonggong Jiang heard it and walked in and said, "What does the emperor command?" Yun Zichen didn't speak, just signaled and asked him to go and tell Yuexi to leave, otherwise he would really be unable to help but run out if she cried like this.

Others didn't know and thought that Yuexi had really fallen out of favor, but in fact, Grandpa Jiang had already seen that they were acting for others! So there is no need for Yun Zichen to say that Gonggong Jiang knows what to do, and walks to the door and says to Yuexi: "Concubine Yu, the emperor is busy with government affairs and it is inconvenient to see you, Niangniang, please go back!" ”

Yuexi looked at Father-in-law Jiang with tears on her face and said, "Father-in-law Jiang, is it true that the emperor will not see me in the future?" Father-in-law Jiang, you're okay, let me in! I want to see the emperor! As he spoke, he shouted inside: "Your Majesty, the concubine really knows that she is wrong!" ”

Yun Zichen threw the fold on the table, covered his ears and smiled bitterly, he really didn't know that Yuexi's trick was so torturous two days ago, and he wouldn't have agreed to her if he knew it!

"Niangniang, please go back, the emperor is really inconvenient to see you now! Don't be embarrassed minions! Seeing that Yuexi was gone, Gonggong Jiang also turned around and went back inside, Yunzi raised his head and asked, "Did she go back?" ”

"Yes, it's just that the emperor's servants don't understand why you and Niangniang are acting in this scene?"

"Yuexi said that she wanted to leave those people with the impression that she was jealous, brainless, and very impulsive, just let her go, when the time comes, it won't end well, I will just accept it for her!"

Yuexi wiped her tears and sobbed and walked out, and was seen by the palace people who did good things, and after a while, the palace knew about it, and the discussions said that Concubine Yu, who had just entered the palace, fell out of favor in less than three days after entering the palace, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to regain favor! Yuexi listened to Le Yao tell her what the palace was talking about her, and nodded with satisfaction!

In the afternoon, four or five concubines came to Chenxi Palace together, saying that they had not seen her since she entered the palace, and they came to ask for peace today, Yuexi knew that they were just here to see the jokes, and they drew a makeup that made them look more haggard, sitting on the main seat, a person dressed in Zhaoyi stood up, followed by two people who also stood up and curtsy on their knees: "Concubine Zhaoyi Liu, bring Baolin Wang's family, and the beauty Zhang family to Concubine Yu's mother's invitation, Niangniang Jin'an!" ”

"Liu Zhaoyi, Wang Baolin, Zhang Meiren, please hurry up, you and I are sisters in the palace, there is no need to be so polite!"

As soon as the three of them sat down, another person stood up and said, "Concubine Jieyu Yao, bring Liangyuan Yin to participate in Concubine Yu's Niangniang, Niangniang Jin'an!" ”

"Two sisters, sit down, everyone is sisters, you're welcome!"

After everyone sat down, Yuexi let people serve tea, and said, "How come a few sisters have time to come to the palace today?" ”

Liu Zhaoyi put down the teacup and wiped her mouth and said, "Niangniang is polite, Niangniang is a concubine, I really can't afford Niangniang's sister!" ”

"You entered the palace to serve the emperor earlier than the palace, so you can naturally afford it! It's just that the sisters are here today for something? ”

"Don't dare, it's just that Niangniang has been busy since Niangniang entered the palace, and the concubines have never asked Niangniang to say goodbye, I feel really guilty in my heart, I see that Niangniang has nothing to do today, so I dare to bother, and I hope Niangniang will not dislike the concubines to come late!" It was Liu Zhaoyi who spoke, and she was the highest among the five!

Yuexi smiled in her heart and said, I didn't come yesterday, I didn't come the day before yesterday, and today the rumors in the palace are boiling and I can't help you anymore, and I pretended to say that I was afraid of disturbing myself!

"Sisters are polite, there are usually few people here in the palace, and it's too late for the sisters to come to the palace to be happy!" As he spoke, he instructed Hua Rui to give them the things he had just prepared, and then said: "This meeting gift should be given to you by me the next day after I enter the palace, but I haven't seen a few sisters a few days ago, and I will send it today, I hope the sisters don't dislike it!" ”

Everyone opened the box and saw that it was nothing more than some hairpins, earrings and the like, Yuexi saw that they just glanced at it, and they didn't think there was anything, after all, they were all the daughters of the ministers of the court, and they hadn't seen anything good! There was only one or two people with contempt in their eyes!

Liu Zhaoyi put down the box and said: "Niangniang is really polite, then the concubine will thank Niangniang for her kindness on behalf of the sisters!" ”

"Sister is polite!"

………… A few people sat for a while and left, and Yao Jieyu came out of Chenxi Palace and rewarded the palace maid behind her with the things that Yuexi had just sent to her, "What kind of garbage, she is embarrassed to take out this thing, what my personal palace maid brings is better than this, and the Qinglou just hasn't opened her eyes!" ”

Liu Zhaoyi said: "Sister don't say a word, although she was born in a Qinglou, she is now Concubine Yu who is taller than us, and we have to salute respectfully when we see her!" ”

"Phew, what Concubine Yu, she also deserves the word Yu? I didn't know what kind of fox tricks I used to confuse the emperor, but now that the emperor is sober, I see how long she can be proud! If you see her face, it must be that the emperor refuses to see her, she can't sleep every day, so she will be haggard like that! ”

After sending them away, Yuexi breathed a sigh of relief, she was really tired of talking to them, she had to figure out every word, and she had to hold the shelf, looked at Le Yao who was standing on the side and said, "Le Yao, almost all the concubines in the palace are here today, right?" ”

Le Yao thought for a while and said, "And Yu Guifei and Lingrong Hua Niangniang haven't seen each other!" ”

Yuexi nodded: "Oh, forget it, Concubine Yu, go and ask An to see you tomorrow, as for Ling Ronghua...... " Yuexi remembered that she saw her two days ago, she looked scared and the arrogance she had when she first saw her, and smiled maliciously and said, "Hua Rui, let's go and play with Ling Ronghua!" ”

Sitting in Changle Palace, Ling Ronghua of Linglong Pavilion sneezed and wiped his nose: "What's the matter, sneeze well!" As soon as she finished speaking, the palace maid walked in and said, "Master, Concubine Yu is here!" ”

Ling Ronghua raised her head and said, "What is she here for?" ”

"I don't know, I said I came to see the master!" As soon as the palace maid finished speaking, Yuexi walked in: "Ling Ronghua, this palace has nothing to do to come to see my sister, I don't know if my sister welcomes me?" ”

Ling Ronghua stood up and saluted with a panicked face and said, "The concubine participates in Concubine Yu's mother, and the mother is blessed!" ”

Yuexi stretched out her hand to help her up and said, "Sister, I'm out there, but this palace came to see my sister!" ”

"Don't dare, don't dare, Niangniang still call the concubine's name Miao Jing!"

"Okay, Sister Miao won't invite me in to sit down?"

Ling Ronghua was a little at a loss and said: "Don't say it, the concubine is small and broken here, I'm afraid that the mother will dislike it!" ”

Yuexi looked at her and laughed: "Okay, don't pretend, you don't play as well as me!" ”

Ling Ronghua raised her head and pretended not to understand what she meant and asked, "What does Niangniang mean by this?" ”

"The first time you saw me arrogant, saying that you were going to beat me, you wanted to cut my tongue, in fact, you kept delaying time, and when you saw the emperor coming, you ordered the eunuch to pretend to beat me, you know that the emperor will stop me for whatever reason!" As he spoke, he pushed her away, walked in by himself, sat down unceremoniously and said, "You looked scared when you saw me again, but in fact, I couldn't see a trace of fear in your eyes!" Say, why do you want to pretend to make the emperor hate you! ”

Miao Jing saw that she saw through it and didn't pretend, sat down next to her and said: "Because I don't want to be favored, and even want the emperor to dislike me and affect my mother's family, it was my father who sent his daughter into the palace in order to stabilize her official position, and it was supposed to be my sister-in-law to enter the palace, but my sister-in-law said that she didn't want to enter the palace, and my father loved her and let me enter the palace." In fact, I already have a marriage contract, but for the sake of my aunt, I have to agree, after entering the palace, the emperor does not often come to the harem, I am also happy, I just want to live in peace, and I also hope that my father can treat my aunt well for my sake. I really miss my aunt for more than two years in the palace, and I begged the head of the internal affairs office to send someone to send some money to my aunt, I know that my aunt is not as good as a low-class maid in the house, and I think that if I send some silver money to her, she can also get a little better, but the person sent by the head of the house came back and told me that my aunt passed away a month after I entered the palace! Before I entered the palace, my aunt said that life was not easy, but she has always been in good health, she died only a month after I entered the palace, and why she died does not need to think about it. My mother-in-law has always been unaccustomed to the concubines in the house, but the others are very favored by my father, only my aunt, so she bullied my aunt twice in three days, and my aunt's death must have something to do with her! And I also heard that my sister-in-law married the person I liked before entering the palace, and the wedding was the third day after my aunt's death, and the marriage was made by my aunt and my fiancΓ©'s mother in a handkerchief, isn't my aunt's death conceivable! ”

"So you bullied me so that the emperor would condemn you?"

"This is a small part of the reason, I thought you were the daughter of a minister of the DPRK and China, bullied you, your family didn't dare to do anything to me, but it would target my mother's family! Then I'll find another chance to commit the crime of robbing my family and exterminating my family! ”

"What crime?"

"It's simple, the assassination of the emperor failed, and the behind-the-scenes command was recruited!"

Yuexi looked at her and said, "Then you can just assassinate her?" Then I thought to myself, isn't it good to instigate others to kill your own husband like this!

"That's not too cheap for them, I'm going to let them be suppressed by your mother's family first, and then stab, they ruined me and my mother's life, don't think about it! But who knows......"

Yuexi continued her words and said, "But who knows that I am not the daughter of the minister, and Lord Ye did not suppress your mother's family for me!" So the last time you saw me, you pretended to be scared, thinking that I wasn't targeting you, so that you would have time to prepare other plans, did you think about the consequences of doing this? ”

"I know, I will lose my life, but there is only one way to avenge my aunt!"

Yuexi looked at her and sighed and said, "Guess what your aunt was thinking when she died?" Miao Jing lowered her head and didn't speak, Yuexi continued: "She thought that it must be you, she doesn't want you to be favored, she just wants you to be safe, if you have the opportunity to give birth to a prince or princess in the future, you will have to rely on it for the rest of your life, do you have the face to see your aunt after you die?" ”
