Chapter 55: You Know Best
Hearing Tang Ningnan say this, Bizhu was not very happy in her heart, and after completely applying makeup, she had a somewhat energetic appearance in the mirror.
Concubine Zhen and Bizhu helped her to slowly walk to a pavilion in the Imperial Garden near the liquid pool and sat down.
"Tang Xi, didn't you say that you have a new piano score and want to play the piano and flute ensemble with me? I haven't had a in a long time, but I'd love to try it. ”
"Ah, yes, I got a new piano score, I didn't bring it in the palace, and the piano is also in the palace, so I'll go back and get it." The concubine avoided Tang Ningnan's eyes and explained weakly.
"Just let Starmist go back and get it."
"I'll put it away when I take it, Xingwu hasn't seen it, I have to pick it up myself, she may not be able to find it when she goes back alone."
As he spoke, he pulled Xingwu up and walked in the direction of Qingren Palace.
Tang Ningnan sat in the pavilion, watching the figure of the concubine gradually move away, and turned his eyes to the delicate flowers in the imperial garden.
"Little master, where did you get any piano scores, why don't slaves and maids know." On the way back to Qingren Palace, the stars were confused.
"I don't have any piano scores, I came out to deceive my sister, as long as my sister is willing to come out for a walk, it's good."
"So what are we going to get back?"
"Just take a sheet music that you haven't played with your sister."
But I always felt that something was missing, and when Tang Ningnan looked around at the Imperial Garden, he always felt that something was not quite right in his heart.
What about Tianlun Pavilion?
Tang Ningnan got up from his seat and walked in the direction of the former Tianlun Pavilion in a daze.
"Niangniang, on the third day of the princess's death, the emperor demolished this pavilion." Bizhu helped Tang Ningnan and said cautiously beside her.
Tang Ningnan looked at the empty grass in front of him, the craftsmen in the palace were really fast, but after ten days' work, the pavilion was demolished and replanted with flowers and plants, leaving no traces of the past.
"Isn't this Concubine Xiao Guifei?"
Yi Concubine's voice came from behind Tang Ningnan.
"The concubine participated in Xiao Guifei Niangniang, Guifei Niangniang hasn't seen her for a long time, how are you doing lately?" There was obvious irony in Yi Concubine's words.
I just lost my child, can I do well?
Tang Ningnan didn't answer in the face of her questioning, holding Bizhu's hand and planning to leave quickly, he really didn't have the heart to argue with her.
Concubine Yi didn't mean to let her go, and said, "Guifei Niangniang, you are standing here, don't you still think about the good life you used to have here?" The concubine remembers that after the death of the princess, the emperor never saw you again, and it is still a question whether she can regain her previous grace. ”
"Concubine Yi Niangniang, whether the little master of my family has the previous grace is the matter of the little master, it is better than you have no grace all the time!" Bi Zhu was angry, and said to Concubine Yi.
"Look, even the mouth of the little palace maid next to you is so aggressive, you don't really think that you are the favored Xiao Guifei before, right? has no children, and the emperor is angry and no longer enters Rong Yuxuan, you are a princess of the Southern Barbarians, what are you arrogant! Yi Concubine's face was full of pride.
"Children of this palace, why didn't you get it, you and Hua Jieyu know it well, don't think that you can get away with it now, one day, how you framed Mifei, how will this palace let you pay it back."
Tang Ningnan clenched his fists, his forehead was bulging, and he tried his best to restrain his choked voice.
"Just you? Even if the emperor knows that it is Concubine Hua's hands and feet, he will just demote her to Jieyu, and the food and clothing are still the same, just because she is the daughter of the Sima family, the emperor will not be too harsh, do you think that you who have fallen out of favor now, and your daughter's life can compete with the power of the Sima family in the court?
Wake up, don't dream, who let you rely on being pregnant, relying on the emperor's favor to target Concubine Hua Niangniang everywhere? Your daughter is damned! ”
The more Concubine Yi's words spoke, the more out of proportion she became, and the maidservant girl on the side, Lian Yue, changed her face and pulled Concubine Yi's sleeve to remind her.
"Smack!"
A loud slap slapped Yi Concubine in the face, and Yi Concubine was in pain and fell on the lawn.
"Concubine Yi don't forget your identity! Is this what the concubine should say to the concubine? ”
Crying Lu didn't know when she stood beside Tang Ningnan, gave Concubine Yi a slap, turned to Tang Ningnan and saluted: "Concubine Niangniang, you have been wronged, the slave maid will help you back to the palace to rest first." ”
Weeping Lu is a person around the emperor, and what she says and does is almost what the emperor meant, which is known to everyone in the palace, so Concubine Yi was slapped and didn't dare to speak out, not to mention that she was the first to be polite.
Yi Concubine mentioned Feng Mifei again, and deliberately emphasized that Feng Feihan hadn't seen her for a long time, Tang Ningnan's heart that had finally cheered up became fragmented in an instant, and she completely forgot Zhao Tangxi, who went back to the palace to get the piano score, and was supported back to Rong Yuxuan by Bizhu and Weeping Lu like a puppet.
Concubine Yi covered her cheeks with her hands behind her, and stared at them as they gradually walked away.
"Niangniang, Concubine Xiao Guifei can't spoil her anymore, and her status is higher than yours, how can you say such a thing." Lian Yue on the side saw them walking away, and hurriedly went over to help Concubine Yi.
Concubine Yi threw a vicious look in the direction Tang Ningnan left, and stood up with Lianyue's hand.
"What do you know, this incident was planned by Hua Jieyu, and it has nothing to do with yo, I said these words, it will only make Tang Ningnan hate her even more Sima Shuhua, anyway, I won't be able to find my head when the time comes, what is this palace afraid of."
"But, little master, he ......"
A gloomy expression appeared on Concubine Yi's face, "Don't mention the little young master!" I have done so many bad things for Concubine Hua for so many years, just knowing that she has medicine in her hand that can give Zhihe a life.
But I didn't expect that she never intended to make Zhihe really get better, if I hadn't found a doctor outside to take a look, I wouldn't have known that there were a few flavors of medicinal materials missing in the medicine she gave every time, and she was unkind to me, so don't blame me for being unjust to her! ”
"Sister, why did you go back to the palace by yourself first, let my sister and I find it easy." The concubine hugged the piano and returned to Rong Yuxuan from the imperial garden.
As soon as I stepped into the hall, I saw that Weelu was also there, and I was busy putting away the relaxed posture just now.
"It turns out that my sister and Aunt Cry Lu have something to discuss, that sister will go back first, and it is time to make an appointment with the queen mother to come to my sister to play the piano and play chess together another day." said that he was going to carry the piano out of the dormitory with the star mist.
"Is Niangniang still sad about Princess Misphy's affairs?" Tang Ningnan, the crying father, sat down on the bed, but Tang Ningnan did not answer.
"Niangniang is complaining about the emperor, complaining that the emperor not only does not deal with Hua Jieyu, but also does not look sad about the death of the princess, right?" Tear Lu asked again.
"Your Majesty, he is thinking about the overall situation, how dare I complain."
"Niangniang, the emperor thinks about the overall situation, you know, this is helpless, I think you can understand, but you said that the emperor is not the slightest sad about the death of the princess, then you are wrong."
"Am I wrong? Did he show the slightest bit of sadness? snatched Mifei away from me, didn't even leave Mifei's clothes for me, and let the queen bury herself in the mud, every time she came to see me, she only knew to calm me down and let me mourn, is it sad at this time?
Now even the Tianlun Pavilion that he ordered to build has been demolished, saying that he is sad about Mifei's death in his heart, I will never believe it. Tang Ningnan said coldly, his tone full of disappointment.
"Niangniang, the emperor is not only your husband, the princess's father, the emperor is also the king of a country, even if he is very uncomfortable with the princess's death, he can't bring this kind of feelings to the court, which will make the Manchu ministers uneasy, and will make them think that they have supported a monarch who is nostalgic for his children and daughters."
Weelu gently patted Tang Ningnan's shoulder, as if she wanted to wake her up and make her accept this truth that she had already understood.
"Niangniang, you said that the emperor is not sad, and said that the emperor erased everything about Princess Mifei, which also shows that the emperor feels uncomfortable for the death of the princess, only if he really cares, he is afraid to see the things and places that left memories with the princess before, and the emperor is also for you!
Since the princess died, you have been staring at the shaker used by the princess, not eating or drinking, and the emperor is worried that you will burn your body. The emperor advises you to be calm and mourn, but how can the emperor himself be comfortable? ”
Tang Ningnan raised his head and stared at the weeping dew. As if she understood the doubt in her eyes, she spoke:
"On the day the princess died, it was right that the emperor was dealing with government affairs with the prime minister, but the next morning he came to visit Niangniang in the palace, but Niangniang was in a very bad mood, and the emperor had to go back.
The emperor knows that he is ashamed of you, and he is also heartbroken about the death of Princess Mifei, he did not go to the court for three consecutive days, and all things are handed over to Prime Minister Sima Cheng to deal with it with full authority, you know, even if he arrives at the palace, the emperor personally handles government affairs every day.
What kind of person is our emperor, you know best, joy and anger are invisible, but he often wakes up in the middle of the night for the death of the princess, and he can't sleep after waking up, and the next day he has to deal with political affairs with bloodshot eyes, and the emperor's mental state is actually not very good these days. ”
Tang Ningnan listened to the crying dew, and the guilt in his heart flooded.
What did the weeping dew say later, Tang Ningnan didn't hear it so sincerely, she only remembered what she said when she left: "The emperor really wants to see you, but you keep turning him away, hey, Niangniang, you have a good rest first, there are still errands in the Chaohui Palace, and the slave will go back first."
It turned out that he was also uncomfortable, and he was also sad about Misphy's death in his heart, and he had to restrain his emotions to deal with political affairs, but it was himself, when he held back the grief in his heart and came to visit him to comfort himself, he drove him out, and said such hurtful words as he would never have children again, and stabbed him in the heart again.
Tang Ningnan felt remorse for her actions, she just wanted to see Feng Feihan immediately, confide in him, and apologize to him.
"Bizhu, Bizhu." Tang Ningnan called Bizhu outside the door in.
"Mother, what's wrong?"
"Go to the Chaohui Palace, I want to see the emperor."
