Chapter 220: The Secret of the Palace, the Secret of the King
Biya said truthfully: "Haven't you been pinched by her for many years?" This fragrant little talk has been circulating in the East Palace for a long time. There is another year, His Royal Highness King You went to the East Palace to drink with His Majesty, who knew that he drank too much at the banquet, and he actually mentioned the matter in public, and also taught His Majesty a trick, saying that when Concubine Xingli came again in the future, he would hold her hands down. You don't know that Your Majesty was embarrassed at that time, pinching the bridge of your nose and smiling is not annoyed or annoyed. ”
"Giggle......" Yao Duran laughed and fell on the beauty couch, laughing and laughing and holding her stomach and laughing, but she still couldn't stop.
Biya smiled and hated her: "Mother! ”
Yao Duran tried her best to restrain herself, and finally reluctantly stopped laughing, but the corners of her lips still couldn't stop rising, and asked, "What about later?" ”
Bi Ya said with a smile: "Later, Your Majesty really didn't have any injuries on his body, as for His Majesty's trick of using His Royal Highness King You, I don't know." ”
Yao Duran laughed for a while, and after laughing, he still couldn't finish his words: "Well, I finally understand the reason why Concubine Li is unpleasant." However, people are indeed born beautiful and beautiful, especially with a smile, enchanting and seductive. There is also Concubine Shu, who was born delicate and beautiful, and has quite an aura. By the way, Concubine Jing is not bad, her face is elegant and pleasant, and she sits there like a pear flower. And those two noble concubines, which one is not a top-grade beauty? ”
Biya heard her say a lot, covered her mouth and laughed a few times, and said: "But the slave maid looks, the table is full of concubines, you are the best-looking, and the most durable, the more you look at it, the better it looks." ”
Yao Duran disagreed: "There is no shortage of beauties in the palace, and the draft will be drafted after a while, and at that time, a group of delicate beauties will enter the harem." ”
The master and servant chatted a few more words, and suddenly, Fuquan came in, and said quite sadly: "Niangniang, the palace lady of the Mingse Palace has come to spread the word again, saying that the princess begs you to go to the Mingse Palace to meet her." ”
Yao Duran listened, and frowned: "I don't see!" What does Hongu have to say to her? With this time and energy, it is better to mediate your mood, and when she is completely calm and wants to open up, His Majesty will let her out and give her freedom! ”
Fuquan saw that she was impatient, so he went out to reply and sent Leng Hua away.
Who knew that at the beginning of the night, Fuquan brought another terrible news.
"Niangniang, Your Majesty slapped the queen today."
"What?" When Yao Duran heard this, he was very shocked and asked, "I'm afraid it's a rumor, right?" Your Majesty is not a person who would do anything to a woman at all, let alone his own wife. Fuquan, don't you hear about it and lead the people of the Wanton Palace to talk about this? ”
Fuquan leaned closer and said in a low voice: "Niangniang, this matter is not a rumor. When His Majesty hit the queen today, it happened that the eldest prince bumped into it, and the eldest prince was very angry, and he reasoned with His Majesty on the spot. ”
Yao Duran's heart sank when she heard this, and it seemed to be true. It's just that what can make him do something to his queen? At today's banquet, since he took out a short knife and taught her what he said, the queen was indeed unhappy and left, but he also quickly coaxed, so ...... What the hell is going on between them?
Thinking about it, her heart was a little confused, and she intuitively felt that the unhappiness between them must be related to her. How good is that?
After thinking about it, she instructed: "Fuquan, no matter whether this matter is true or not, you must control the mouths of the palace people and prevent them from talking about it." ”
"Yes, the slave knows."
This night, Huo Jingcheng did not step into the harem, but stayed in his Emperor Phoenix Palace.
In the middle of the night, the big beads and small beads fell on the jade plate, and it rained in a sparse uproar, making people sleepless, and it didn't stop until dawn.
In the morning, the air is good after the rain, fresh and cool. After the court meeting dispersed, Huo Jingcheng went to the Emperor Phoenix Hall to change his clothes, and then came to the imperial study to deal with government affairs. As soon as he sat down, he saw Gonggong Wei kneeling upright.
"Your Majesty, the things that the old slave should explain have been properly given to the Qin Gong bus, and the old slave's things have been packed up, so I will say goodbye to Your Majesty today."
Huo Jingcheng raised his eyes to look at him and said, "Okay, you have served the first emperor all your life, and you have all the credit and hard work, such a loyal servant, I should treat it well." It's just ......" The words suddenly changed, and Grandpa Wei's heart trembled.
Huo Jingcheng left the imperial case and paced slowly in front of him: "It's just that since ancient times, the old servant who has served the king for a long time, knows the secrets of the palace, and knows the secrets of the king. But I'm still willing to give you a good death, so should you ...... A few heartfelt words? ”
When Father-in-law Wei heard this, he understood it, and immediately bowed his head and kowtowed, saying that something had happened.
"Your Majesty, in the thirteenth year of Yongxi, the first emperor once summoned the eldest prince into the imperial study, and asked him, the eldest brother is like a father, and it can be seen who has the best virtue among the emperors and brothers. The eldest prince replied, my sixth brother, with a noble character and a generous virtue, is the chosen person of my dynasty. ”
Huo Jingcheng listened, and the corners of his lips hooked a warm smile: "In my heart, the eldest brother is the same. ”
Gonggong Wei gritted his teeth, and continued: "Your Majesty, there are still four years of Yongxi, Your Majesty is ten years old, and you are practicing water with the princes, and the old slave was ordered by the first emperor to supervise by the pool, but I saw the four princes holding a silver needle in their hands, and they burst the air ring on Your Majesty's body under the water, causing Your Majesty to drown!" Old Slave ...... The old slave saw that His Majesty had no accident in the end, so in order to avoid the disaster of the palace, he ...... So it was hidden! ”
Huo Jingcheng was surprised for a moment, and his eyes slowly became faint: "I see." Hehe...... The abyss will eventually have a bottom, and the hearts of three inches are immeasurable. ”
Gonggong Wei swallowed his throat nervously, and said carefully: "Your Majesty, the kings are about to return to Beijing, and on the day they leave Beijing after the expiration of their filial piety, the concubines in the palace will leave Beijing with their sons to go to the fiefdom in accordance with the ancestral system." At that time, I don't know what His Majesty plans for the four kings and their mother Concubine Zhu? ”
Huo Jingcheng lowered his eyes and smiled: "What else can I do?" Let Concubine Zhu leave Beijing with the four brothers and return to Shuozhong. Alas...... The disaster you wanted to avoid in the past is only now coming, but it has become complicated. I don't want to settle accounts after the autumn, but look at the future, these four brothers Shuozhong Wang is willing to refuse to have a deep relationship with me, and is willing to be with my monarch and sage. ”
Wei Gong said fairly: "What Your Majesty said is true. There is also the sixteenth year of Yongxi, the year of the establishment of the prince, the first emperor once met with a monk, the monk said that the first emperor will have a catastrophe this year, if you can wade through, the person who helped the first emperor to cross the catastrophe is the emperor's child, the true son of the dragon, and the future is unlimited. ”
"As a result, this year, the first emperor inspected the army in the city tower, and fell from the city tower, His Majesty saved his father with his body and helped the first emperor survive this catastrophe!"
"Hehe......" Huo Jingcheng chuckled twice and said, "This matter is the calamity of my father, but why is it not the calamity of my fate?" That year of serious injury, heh, if you are in purgatory, you don't want to mention it again in this life. ”
Wei Gong said fairly: "Your Majesty is the true son of the dragon, and he can survive the catastrophe and reign over the world." As for some other secrets in the palace, they are just secrets that everyone knows, and His Majesty knows them, so there is no need for the old slave to talk about them. There are also the secret deeds of the emperor, even if they are said, they are all the wise deeds of the first emperor in governing the country, and there is nothing obscure, and it has nothing to do with His Majesty. ”
Huo Jingcheng slowly returned to the back of the imperial case: "Okay, let's go, go with Qin An to receive the reward and leave the palace to retire." ”
Gonggong Wei breathed a sigh of relief, knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Old slave thank Your Majesty Longen!" ”
......
At noon, Qin An entered the imperial study to report that the eldest princess had come.
Huo Jingcheng put down his pen and said, "Let Yishuang come in." ”
The bamboo curtain was lifted, and a petite figure slowly walked in. The eldest princess Yishuang, born by Concubine Li, is eight years old this year, her appearance is extremely delicate and beautiful, her little face is as white as snow, and her smart black eyes with thick and curly eyelashes are flickering like a feather fan.
Yishuang slowly knelt on the ground, and the sound was like a wind chime: "The son knocks to see his father, long live his father." ”
Huo Jingcheng looked at her and smiled warmly: "Shuang'er, come here." ”
Yishuang obediently walked to the front of the case, and Huo Jingcheng said, "Come to my father's side." ”
Yishuang bypassed the imperial case and came to Huo Jingcheng's side, Huo Jingcheng took her hand and said softly: "What's wrong today?" It's common to see that my father and emperor are all chattering endlessly? ”
Yishuang said slowly: "In the past, Shuang'er came to find his father, but today, it was his father who came to find Shuang'er, and Shuang'er thought, my father has nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, so he is nervous." ”
"Haha......" Huo Jingcheng laughed and said, "What if your father comes to you?" Can I eat you? ”
Yishuang finally smiled happily: "Everyone says that the father is a tiger, of course he will eat people." ”
Huo Jingcheng scratched her pretty nose and said, "Then have you ever heard that tiger poison does not eat children?" ”
Yishuang smiled: "I've heard it, hehe." ”
"Okay, don't be nervous, it's okay for my father to come to you, just to see if you've gained weight recently." As he spoke, Huo Jingcheng took her little hand and was about to lift her sleeve up.
"Oops!" Yishuang immediately withdrew his hand and said nervously: "Father! Children avoid their mothers, and daughters avoid their fathers! ”
"Oh, who taught you that?" Huo Jingcheng asked.
Yishuang said: "The mother concubine taught me." ”
Huo Jingcheng snorted coldly from his nose: "Heh! Your mother taught you this because she had a ghost in her heart. Come here! You are the daughter of your father, and you are only eight years old, what is there about your father who can't see this arm? ”
As he spoke, he took her hand and asked to lift his sleeve again. Who knew that Yishuang actually withdrew his hand again, seeing that he was so anxious that he was about to cry, but in this hurry, he turned around and ran away.
"Alas, alas!" Huo Jingcheng hurriedly got up to chase after her, caught up with her in a few steps, and pulled her back, then lifted her sleeve violently, and then looked at the little arm again, and his handsome face suddenly had a chill of three feet.
"See? You are just as empty as your mother! After Huo Jingcheng pulled her back to the imperial case, he hugged her and sat on his lap, and interrogated her seriously.
"Say, what's the matter with the bruise on your arm?"
It is advisable to snort and snort, and I can't say why.
Huo Jingcheng said coldly: "Did your mother do it?" Is that right? How long has she been doing this to you? Well? Say! ”
Yishuang was forced to ask in a hurry, buried his head in his arms and cried, but didn't say anything.
Huo Jingcheng twisted his eyebrows, pushed her away and sat down, his tone was already stern: "Don't cry!" Say! Tell me honestly! Otherwise, I will abolish your mother immediately! ”
