When the green shirt first entered the nine-fold city, the purple sky was dawning and the red clouds opened. Chapter 40: News from the Dead
In the apse, Concubine Yue and Emperor Chunjia sat a few times apart, and the small ones were fighting on the chessboard.
Concubine Yue held the chess pieces, her fingertips as white as jade were more and more flawless and clear by the sunspots, but there was a look of annoyance on her face, and she was messed up for a while, and said, "No more!" ”
Saying that, he dropped the chess pieces, got up and walked to the round table of Huanghuali inlaid marble carved crane deer Tongchun not far away and sat down, frowning slightly.
Emperor Chunjia followed, turned over the silver mandarin duck square pot on the table, poured two cups of tea, pushed one in front of her, and said warmly, "If you don't want to go down, you can't go down, let's talk." ”
Concubine Yue bit her lip and said, "Do you think Aunt Zhu can convince that?" ”
“…… It's hard to say. Emperor Chunjia groaned and said, "The main thing is that I can't tell what she wants." ”
"What else can this kind of think?" Concubine Yue sneered, "It's nothing more than a lion's big mouth!" I don't want to think about what she is, do you have the courage to ask for it, do you have the life to take it!? ”
Emperor Chunjia wanted to speak and stopped, and after being silent for a while, he still couldn't help but persuade, "Don't say this in front of people, if it reaches the ears of that Xiaoyun clan, even if Aunt Zhu convinces her today, there will be more twists and turns." ”
In fact, in the emperor's opinion, the probability of Aunt Zhu convincing Yun Fenghuan is not high at all, after all, everyone knows how much he and Empress Dowager Yuan attach importance to Concubine Yue, and the grudge between Yun Fenghuang and Concubine Yue is already very deep, and she will compromise with Chunjia and the faction if she is stupid.
Especially Chunjia's side is still at a disadvantage, what they can do, other factions can do, and what they can't do, other factions can also do...... So why did Yun Fenghuang choose them?
But Aunt Zhu insisted that it would not be a waste of effort to talk about it, and if it failed, it would be a matter of a few cups of tea.
This Aunt Zhu has a special relationship with the Yuan family, and even the Empress Dowager Yuan attaches great importance to it, so Emperor Chunjia naturally would not brush her off on such a trivial matter.
It's just that at this moment, I am accompanying Concubine Yue in the apse, and I can't help but think again, Aunt Zhu also knows these truths in her heart, knowing that there is little hope and still insisting, is it holding on to the hope of just in case, or is there something else?
Emperor Chunjia calmed down and said, "Aunt Zhu is always good for us." ”
"She's for your good." Concubine Yue was not very happy, her face sank, and she said, "You don't know what kind of life I have been living in the past two days!" ”
He pulled up his sleeves and stretched out his arm to show him, there were old and new bruises on it, saying that these were all beaten by Aunt Zhu.
"The deep responsibility of love...... Emperor Chunjia looked distressed, but Aunt Zhu was extraordinary, and he couldn't say anything to blame, so he could only appease Qingmei, but before she opened her mouth, she was pushed by Concubine Yue, and said angrily, "She beat me because I thought I was dragging you down, of course you say that she is good!" ”
Chunjia was helpless, and while getting up to find the ointment, she coaxed, "Aunt Zhu is from the Fuyang Yuan family, how can she not feel sorry for you?" Besides, our current situation, if I don't get close to the government, I will talk about you and me, even the queen mother and the Yuan family, where can I not tremble? Bear with me. ”
"Bear with me! It's been eight years, and you're still saying that! Concubine Yue suddenly became furious, pushed all the teapots and bowls on the table to the ground, and shouted loudly, "Let me endure every day, persuade me to endure every time!" When will such a day come to an end!? ”
"......" Chunjia's action of opening the ointment stiffened, Fang smiled gently as usual, and persuaded softly, "Aunt Zhu is not helping?" We're still young, and we're still here. ”
Concubine Yue's tears fell, "What are you young?" The in the front hall is young! How old is she? Fourteen? Fifteen? Like flowers and bones, you were stunned when you saw her for the first time, didn't you? Don't think I didn't find out! And this cheap maid is not the last, is the Xue family of Surong Palace beautiful? If you're not pretty, you won't be a newcomer, and you'll choose her for the second one! ”
"As for the courtesy, Concubine Shu's own sister, you haven't been there yet, have you?"
"There are several other ......"
"In a few days, the Flower and Bird Envoy will add a large group of people to this palace, and you will be happy then?!"
Emperor Chunjia couldn't cry or laugh, pulled her arm, Concubine Yue struggled a few times, and let him apply the medicine angrily...... The young emperor's long eyelashes drooped, and he gently picked up a little brown ointment and dotted it on Hao's wrist, and spread it a little bit with his fingertips, and his expression was focused and gentle when he did this, so that Concubine Yue, who was originally full of complaints, couldn't help but slow down her tone...... Anyway, I'm not going to let you go to those! ”
"Xue Meiren of Surong Palace was originally the first to sleep in the house." Emperor Chunjia sighed and explained to her, "It's just that the matter of Yun Guiren suddenly interjected, so I had to go to Xi Xingxuan first, and you know the result...... If I had a choice, I wouldn't want to go anywhere, I just wanted to accompany you, don't you know? ”
Concubine Yue was very satisfied, but she made a look of disbelief on her face, and said sourly, "Who knows you!" Those are one by one, and they are nearly ten years younger than me, will you be tempted at all? ”
The Emperor exclaimed, "Am I a person who values looks so much? ”
As a result, Concubine Yue, who knew that she was only middle-class and upper-middle, and she couldn't be considered a beauty, immediately exploded, "What do you mean!?" Do you think I'm not good-looking??? ”
When the emperor saw that something was wrong, he persuaded and coaxed and made a low ...... After a while, Concubine Yue finally lost her anger, but thought that she should teach him a lesson, so she called the palace maid to take a plate of pine nuts and let him finish peeling them and feed himself before finishing them.
If there is nothing wrong with this, Emperor Chunjia will depend on her.
But at this moment, he was embarrassed, "I haven't been to Yanlan Palace in the past two days, so I went to ask the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother to say goodbye, and the Queen Mother said that the Queen Mother has asked, this is ......"
In fact, he should have gone over to visit the concubine a long time ago, whether he liked the concubine or not, and whether he expected the heir in the concubine's womb or not, it was his blood and bones after all, especially since his knees were still empty, in order not to be too cool for the wind to comment, he should also show the joy of becoming a father and his care for the concubine on the scene.
Helplessly, Concubine Yue's side has basically not been peaceful in the past two days, Emperor Chunjia can't take care of Yanlan Palace when he takes care of Huzhu Palace, although Concubine Zheng Guifei didn't say anything, the Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager Ji can't stand it.
These two opened their mouths, and Emperor Chunjia always had to go over and make a show.
Otherwise, he is the emperor in the end, even if the Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager Ji are unhappy in their hearts, they will not embarrass him in person, but they will be angry with Concubine Yue...... When the time comes, it will be impossible to say that even the Empress Dowager Yuan will be dragged in.
"That's not what they said when I was pregnant!" Concubine Yue was silent for a while, her tears slowly fell, and she didn't wipe it, she just looked at the palace bricks not far away, and said stupidly, "When it's the concubine's turn, I'll call you over?" Sure enough, in the eyes of those people, my children and I are insignificant, and we should not even appear in this palace! ”
Emperor Chunjia looked at the copper leak in the corner of the house, in fact, he was about to leave, he couldn't bear it, took a handkerchief from his sleeve, leaned over to wipe Concubine Yue's face, and said in a low voice, "What do you care about them?" In my heart, the sum of the three palaces and six courtyards, where can I compare to your smile? ”
But I didn't know that in the front hall at this moment, Aunt Zhu was also leaning over slightly, approaching Yun Fenghuan, and whispered, "...... Why do you think you can only choose the queen? Do you have a grudge with us? What do you think is the grudge? Concubine Yue? If you think so, you may be underestimating the amount of my Fuyang Yuan clan...... My Yuan family is also considered to be prosperous, and Concubine Yue is just one of the concubines! Although he has some status in the clan, how can he compare with the future of the whole clan? ”
Yun Fenghuan smiled and said, "Is Aunt Zhu using me as a child?" Although the Yuan family has many concubines, they can make the Empress Dowager and Her Majesty the tip of their hearts, but there is only one Concubine Yue! ”
"Your Majesty is still young, young people, it's not uncommon for you to be hot for a while." Aunt Zhu wrote lightly, "However, the head of my Yuan family is not young anymore, and the Queen Mother is not young anymore!" ”
"Are the Yuan family and the Queen Mother planning to give up Concubine Yue?" Yun Fenghuan said curiously, "This is a good idea, after all, I heard that this master has basically not done a single smart thing since he entered the palace, and he has not dragged down the Empress Dowager and Her Majesty to clean up the aftermath for her...... It's just that since Your Majesty is still in love, will you agree? ”
She smiled and said, "You are talking about the steep wealth, do you intend to give me this credit?" ”
Aunt Zhu chuckled, "Forgive the maid for being blunt, Concubine Yue is the head of the first palace, and her weight in front of the Empress Dowager and Her Majesty is also obvious to all, as far as the nobles are now, they are not qualified to take on such a thing, right?" ”
Yun Fenghuang didn't want to poke this hornet's nest, not to mention whether the Yuan family and the Empress Dowager Yuan really planned to give up the green plum of Emperor Chunjia, even if it was, it would not prevent them from taking advantage of Concubine Yue's death to make a fortune.
God knows how many traps this kind of pie is hidden in the door.
But he still scolded back, "If Concubine Yue really has so much weight in your eyes, you are a slave and maid, and you dare to talk about her life and death?" ”
"The maid just wants the nobles to know that you can listen to the words of the queen mother and do things, you might as well consider serving the queen mother and your majesty." Aunt Zhu smiled, "After all, the future is long, who can know what will happen in the future?" ”
Yun Fenghuang said, "Aunt Zhu probably doesn't read enough, and there is a word called the two ends of the first mouse, which is not a good meaning." Besides, Aunt Zhu just said that I don't have much qualifications now...... Listening to Aunt Zhu's words, she didn't even pay attention to Concubine Yue, it can be seen that in the Yuan family, she is extremely embarrassed in front of the Empress Dowager and even Her Majesty, but she personally came out to recruit me, why should I be served? ”
Seeing that Aunt Zhu was about to say more, she waved her hand, "The palace of the country is not peaceful, I have no family to rely on, I am in power today, and I don't know where tomorrow, too long-term promises and hopes are not interesting to me." All you have to say is what can you give me now? ”
Aunt Zhu pondered for a while, and suddenly said, "It's not early today, so I guess the nobles don't have time to stay longer...... In this way, the servant will send a message to the noble person first. ”
Yun Fenghuang smiled and said, "What? ”
She estimated that eighty percent had something to do with the Xie family, which she had considered for a long time.
Therefore, his expression was very relaxed, and he was ready to meet the alarmist.
"Actually, it's not a big deal." Aunt Zhu smiled, "I heard that the Qi family, who is in Sangzi with the nobles, became a relative a few days ago, and will come to the imperial capital with his wife in the near future...... His wife Chao's name is quiet and quiet, as if the nobles also know each other? ”
The smile on the corner of Yun Fenghuang's mouth froze instantly.
