Chapter 028: Inside the Palace
Liu Shilang's face instantly turned purple when he heard General Yuwen's words, if you want to mention who is not good, but compare Zhao Shilang with him, this is unbearable.
This Zhao Shilang walked in by virtue of his relationship in the court, and he didn't have anything to do all day long, except for saying beautiful words, he was simply not doing anything, and he was greedy for life and afraid of death, so he was lazy and the first place.
This General Yuwen actually compared him, which is a real humiliation.
"You, you, hum" But this Liu Shilang can only swallow his anger, after all, he is a general, and he can't do it with a small squire.
General Yuwen looked at Liu Shilang and pointed at him tremblingly for a long time, and finally turned around and fled with just a snort.
"Snort" sneered at his back, and turned to show a triumphant smile to Zhao Shilang, who he used to block the sword.
But this Zhao Shilang can be scared a lot, now it's good, offended so many people, I can't live this day... I swore in my heart that I would stay away from this General Yuwen...
In Lihua Palace, Concubine Li, who was wearing a pale yellow hollow embroidered beard sleeve square flower with a round necked robe, was lying leisurely in the beauty chair, and her long hand was wearing a little emerald white jade nail buckle and knocking on the table.
The maid next to her was knocking on the walnuts for her, and she couldn't control it well, so she splashed the walnut shell on Concubine Li's body, ushering in a scolding; "Don't you have long eyes, you can't do this little thing well, what does this palace want you to do, it's really a waste"
"Niangniang, Niangniang" A hurried voice came, and a little eunuch who looked sixteen or seventeen years old came into view.
"What's the panic, if this makes other palaces look at what kind of system it has become, really, you miscellaneous can't make this palace provincial capital" Concubine Li frowned impatiently.
"Niangniang, the emperor is in court, looking at this direction, it seems that he is coming to Niangniang's Lihua Palace, isn't the little one busy telling Niangniang" The little eunuch flamboyed and told Concubine Li the news he had just inquired.
"Really? Xiaofuzi, you have a heart, Xia Er reward" Concubine Li heard that the emperor was coming, and her mood instantly became good.
"Xia Er, how about taking a look at this palace costume? Won't it be a little elegant, no, this palace is going to replace the newly made set of rose-red ones, this emperor finally came to visit, how can he not look lifeless, Xia Er came to see the face of this palace, is it a little pale? ”
Concubine Li was excited like a girl who had just gotten married, for fear that she would make a mistake.
"Niangniang, it's all good" Xia Er looked at the excited Niangniang and said, Xia Er was the palace maid who knocked walnuts for Concubine Li before.
"Niangniang, the little one is a little unhappy to see the long-lived master, Niangniang, you are still more elegant," Xiaofuzi added.
"What? Out of sorts? That's really hard to serve, so Xia Er hurriedly went to the small kitchen to soak a pot of jade butterflies that her father brought to the palace, and brought it over" Li Guifei thought about it, such a knotted person naturally couldn't receive the emperor with fancy tricks, and she wanted to be a wife and concubine who thought she was a confidant and understanding.
"Yes, Niangniang," Xia Er replied, and hurried to the kitchen.
Concubine Li has never been a big-minded person, which is why she has such a status.
"Okay, Xiaofuzi retreat," Li Guifei waved at Xiao Fuzi, who was still at the door.
"Yes, Niangniang" Xiaofuzi bowed and withdrew.
"Niangniang, the tea is ready, and the incense burning in the hall has been replaced with contemplation," Xia Er whispered respectfully to Concubine Li, who was sitting next to the table.
"Well, Xia Er, look at how this palace is dressed like this" Concubine Li asked Xia Er to see if her appearance was appropriate.
"Niangniang is just right, not only does not look glamorous and gorgeous, but also looks extremely comfortable and elegant, I believe the emperor will praise it when he sees it" Xia Er replied with a smile.
"That's good, that's good"
"Xia'er, you went to see where the emperor was for the palace, why didn't you come?"
"Yes, sissy"
"Xia'er, how is it, where are you?"
"Niangniang, it's almost here, the emperor has come to the small lake in front of Lihua Palace" Xia Er walked out of the palace and glanced out, and hurriedly came back to say goodbye.
"Hurry up and get ready to meet the driver with the palace," Concubine Li tidied up the folds on her clothes and led everyone at the gate of the palace to prepare to welcome the holy driver.
After a while, the emperor appeared in the corridor of Lihua Palace. A sharp voice is indeed the favorite voice of the palace woman, "The emperor has arrived"
"The concubine has seen the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor, long live, long live" Concubine Li, together with the entire Lihua Palace, greeted at the door.
"Ai Concubine, flat, get up quickly" The emperor helped Concubine Li, who was half-kneeling, and took her to turn around and walk towards the palace.
"Emperor Xie," Concubine Li's soft voice sounded.
After entering the palace, the emperor sat on the main throne and found that Concubine Li's dress was not as luxurious and gorgeous as usual.
"Your Majesty, let's drink some tea first, this is a jade butterfly sent by the concubine's family, the concubine heard that the emperor has been busy with political affairs recently, and there is a slight cough, this jade butterfly is specially brought by the concubine from Beimengguo, which can clear the lungs and heat and improve the throat"
Concubine Li held a purple sand teapot and filled the emperor with a cup of tea.
"The concubine has a heart, and it is really troublesome to not let me worry about it in the court every day," the emperor took a sip and said slowly.
"It is the duty of the concubines to solve problems for the emperor, the emperor, the concubines come to pinch the emperor's shoulders," Concubine Li said as she put her hand on the emperor's shoulder.
The emperor didn't squeak, and slowly closed his eyes, meaning that he acquiesced.
"Why is the emperor so worried, I don't know if the concubines can relieve the emperor's worries" Concubine Li's hands kept moving, and asked tentatively.
"People in the harem can't get involved in politics" The emperor snorted comfortably, and said a word casually, warning Concubine Li not to talk too much.
"The concubine was scared, the concubine just saw the emperor like this, but she couldn't do anything for the emperor and was anxious, so she was... Please also ask the emperor to atone for her sins," Concubine Li instantly knelt on the ground with pity, like a person who couldn't relieve her husband's worries.
The emperor looked at the woman in front of him with eyes full of him, and there were still a few tears on his delicate face, and he couldn't help but soften, thinking that such a gaffe was also for himself, so he raised his hand to help the kneeling Concubine Li.
"The concubine doesn't have to blame herself, the concubine naturally knows what she wants"
"Emperor Xie" Concubine Li took advantage of the situation and gently hugged the Ninety-Five Venerable in front of her with both hands, and her trembling body seemed to be frightened.
"Alright, alright," the emperor gently stroked Concubine Li's back and comforted.
"Let's eat, I'm hungry, and the concubine doesn't have to blame herself" The emperor saw that the person in his arms gradually calmed down, looked at the sky outside, and remembered that he had no meal in the morning, and he was angry with the morning morning, and felt a little cramping in his stomach.
"Yes, the emperor, the concubine has nothing to do in the morning, she just made some side dishes, I originally thought that the emperor was busy in the imperial study and sent it to the emperor, now it's okay, since the emperor is here, let's eat together" Concubine Li said to the emperor with joy on her face.
"Xia'er, pass on the meal"
In Huachen Palace, Concubine Yu sat at the round table.
"Niangniang, the emperor went to Lihua Palace, I'm afraid I'm going to have dinner there" A palace maid with a delicate face said to the jade concubine in front of her.
"Concubine Li, that vixen, I don't know how to fascinate the emperor, obviously I don't like her son, but I'm happy to run to Lihua Palace" Concubine Yu heard the emperor go to Lihua Palace and disdainfully spoke.
"Yes, Niangniang, do you want to call the second prince back" The little palace maid remembered that Jun Yueli, who was still playing with the seventh prince outside, asked out loud.
"No, this palace doesn't believe that Nali Guifei won't call the seven princes over when she sees the emperor, say more good things in front of the emperor, let the emperor like the seven princes a little, hmph, it's better for Li'er to be with the seven princes, this palace doesn't believe that she will drive Li'er away, okay, go down" A hint of darkness flashed in the eyes of the jade concubine.
"It's a pity that this table of dishes, okay, let's go down"
"Yes, Niangniang" The little palace maid withdrew respectfully, not daring to anger this jade concubine.
To say that the most important thing in this palace is the jade concubine in front of her, the family behind her is powerful, and she naturally has horizontal capital, and the emperor also gives her face, as long as she doesn't do it too much, the emperor will naturally not blame her.
The triangular forces formed in this palace, the harem concubines are divided into three factions, the queen mother's faction, the Li concubine faction, and the Jade Concubine faction.
The emperor is obsessed with the queen from the beginning to the present respectful like a guest, although the emperor is infatuated with Concubine Nali but least like her child Junlu, because when Junlu was born, a roof of crows actually fell outside the delivery room, lined up on the roof, this crow in the monarchy represents a bad omen, so the palace people have been secretly away from Junlu, saying that he is an unlucky person, and whoever is with him will have a bad thing.
Even the emperor didn't want to see him, and in the first few years, the emperor simply didn't want to; Concubine Li didn't want to see it, but then somehow, the emperor was fortunate to Concubine Li again, she was pregnant again, and gave birth to a baby girl, but the baby girl was born on the rare appearance of Furui, but the baby girl was delicate and was later raised by the queen mother.
Anyway, this Concubine Li is favored again, but as long as the monarch is mentioned, the emperor shows a faint interest, no matter how favored this Concubine Li is, she can't bring any benefits to her children.
Only this jade concubine, although the emperor doesn't like it, he doesn't hate it, and for the sake of Du Wei's face, the emperor can't snub her.
Concubine Yu said well, this Concubine Li naturally called Jun Lu to go over, but she didn't expect Jun Yueli to be with him, although she didn't want Jun Yueli to leave the past at all, but there was no reason to break it up, so they dined together in Lihua Palace.
"Your Majesty, the concubine has just called Lu'er over, Lu'er may not have seen the emperor for a long time, let Lu'er come with us" Concubine Li's soft and weak voice was a little aggrieved.
"Yes, let the concubine be wronged, I am busy with political affairs, but I forgot, after dinner, I will take the test of the law again, if I am satisfied, I will naturally be rewarded" The emperor also seemed to feel that he didn't care about this son at all, and looked at the wronged concubine in front of him and coaxed softly.
"The emperor" Concubine Li was delicate and boneless, sticking to the emperor's arms.
"His Royal Highness the Second Prince, His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince has arrived"
As she was talking, there was a voice of notification at the door, but Concubine Li didn't expect to bring Jun Yueli with her.
Concubine Yu said well, this Concubine Li naturally called Jun Lu to go over, but she didn't expect Jun Yueli to be with him, although she didn't want Jun Yueli to leave the past at all, but there was no reason to break it up, so they dined together in Lihua Palace.
"Erchen see the father, Eniang" The two princes didn't expect the emperor to be here, so they were stunned for a moment and immediately saluted.
"Well, flat body" The emperor said in a voice that was not happy or angry.
"Let's eat"
After the meal, in the study room of Lihua Palace, there is a table, and a piece of rice paper is spread on the table.
Junlu is happy in his heart now, although his father has been with him for a short time, he always thinks that his homework is not good enough, so his father is unwilling to assess him, so he studies more seriously, just to be able to let the emperor see that he has an excellent son one day.
