Chapter Forty-Six: Even the Lining Is Lost
The emperor's expression did not improve because of Prince Guo's words, but because of Prince Guo's words, he became more angry, and he kicked away Wen Xiuyuan, who was kneeling beside him: "Shameful thing!" Don't get out of here! ”
The person was recommended by the queen's mother, and the queen's face was naturally ugly at this moment, she glanced at Chuanbei beside her, and Chuanbei immediately stepped forward: "Little Master Wen, go down with the slave and maid to change your clothes!" ”
Wen Xiuyuan lowered her head and didn't say anything, and let Chuanbei take her down.
After Wen Xiuyuan was taken away, the queen wanted to get close to the emperor's side, but Concubine Shu took the lead, Concubine Shu walked to the emperor's side with a wine cup, and patted the emperor's back with her slender jade hand to smooth him: "Your Majesty!" Today is Prince Guo's feast, and you are angry, but what can Prince Guo do? ”
Sure enough, it was Concubine Shu, who had been favored by the emperor for many years, who knew the emperor's thoughts best, and the emperor patted her hand: "You are still the most sensible!" ”
As he spoke, he took the wine cup in Concubine Shu's hand, drank all the wine inside, and then asked Concubine Shu to sit with him: "Yue'er will sit with me!" ”
After that, the emperor looked at Prince Guo Ye Nao: "Let the imperial brother laugh!" ”
Prince Guo shook his head with a smile, and raised the wine cup in his hand towards the emperor: "Where did the imperial brother say, the imperial brother is surrounded by beautiful women, and everyone wants to be favored by the imperial brother, and it is too late for the courtier brother to envy!" ”
mentioned this matter, and the queen was finally able to interject: "Now that the backyard of Prince Guo's mansion is still empty, it is time for the emperor to choose a good wife for Prince Guo." ”
The emperor nodded, and agreed with the queen's words, he turned his head to look at Ye Yannao: "I will order this matter tomorrow, and the princes and nobles of the capital will be sent to the emperor's brother, and the emperor's brother must be carefully selected!" ”
Prince Guo looked at the queen with a smile, but I felt that Prince Guo's eyes were extremely cold, as if he was blaming the queen for mentioning this matter.
"I don't have to worry about this matter, the younger brother is still young, he has no merit, and he can't share his worries for the royal brother, and the younger brother doesn't want to marry the concubine for the time being, so let's discuss this matter later!"
The emperor seemed to be a little displeased with Prince Guo's words, but the displeasure on his face also flashed, and then he turned into a look of seeing his own playful brother: "Although you are ten years different from me, but now you have passed the age of discussing relatives, and you haven't played enough, if you let the queen mother know, I'm afraid you will blame me!" ”
"Brother Huang, don't worry, the younger brother of this matter will go to the queen mother in person to say, and he will never let the queen mother blame the royal brother!"
The emperor and Prince Tongguo, you are so unhappy with what I say, but in my eyes, these two men are completely competing in secret, and I seem to have discovered something from their words.
Listening to the emperor's meaning, it should be that the queen mother does not like the emperor very much, but is quite fond of today's Prince Guo, otherwise how could the emperor be afraid of the queen mother's blame?
Wen Xiuyuan's matter was overturned, but the queen mother never said a few words during the banquet.
She obviously asked Wen Xiuyuan to come over to compete with Concubine Shu for favor, and also to save a little face for herself, but she didn't want Prince Guo to break the queen's strategy, not only did she not let the queen have a long face, but also made the queen almost lose her inside.
Until the end of the banquet, Concubine Shu has been by the emperor's side, the queen's face can't be hung up, the existence of Concubine Shu is always reminding her, just now the person she recommended embarrassment to her, halfway the queen said that she was drunk and left first.
Later, nothing special happened, and the emperor and Prince Guo always chatted with each other, until the emperor was a little drunk, and this ended the banquet.
After the end, Liu Jianxue and I walked back leisurely, and when we walked to a place where no one was, Liu Jianxue grabbed my hand: "Huaixing, why did you say that Concubine Shu was suddenly pregnant?" ”
What Liu Jianxue said, it is also a question that I have never been able to figure out, if Concubine Shu's body is fine, and she has been favored for so many years, Concubine Shu would have already had a full house of children under her knees, but she has not been able to conceive a dragon for so many years, but there is a person in the harem who has to learn her Wenxiu Mandarin Duck?
Immediately, I shook my head at Yanami and signaled to her that I don't know what kind of cat is hidden in it.
However, I once boldly guessed that now Concubine Shu is pregnant, which means that it is not Concubine Shu's body that is not good, on the other hand, the emperor, there are very few princes under his knees for so many years on the throne, I don't know why.
If it is said that it is because of the infighting of the harem concubines, which led to the withering of the imperial heir, it is reasonable, but Concubine Shu is an example, is it ......
I don't dare to think about the rest of the matter, if it's really as I guessed, then the harem is afraid that it will be messed up.
It was dark outside, and Liu Mixue didn't see my expression clearly, and if she did, she would be able to guess what was going on, but I didn't want her to know what was going on just yet.
We continued to walk forward, Liu Jianxue seemed to suddenly think of something, stopped and looked at me: "Huaixing, tell me honestly, did you already know about Wen Xiuyuan and the queen?" ”
I didn't want to mention Wen Xiuyuan, let alone let Liu Jianxue get involved in these things, so I began to change the topic: "Sister Liu, have you noticed that the imperial garden at night seems to have a different scenery. ”
Liu Jianxue is very smart, how could she not know that I was talking about him left and right, no matter what I said, she looked at me directly: "If you don't say it, I will follow you every day and live directly in Xiwu Palace." ”
I smiled and grabbed Liu Jianxue's arm: "Okay, if Sister Liu lives in Xiwu Palace, then I will definitely raise my hands to welcome it, I just don't know if the emperor will come to me to rob people!" ”
Liu Jianxue's little face was flushed when I laughed at her, but she didn't forget what she wanted to ask me: "Huaixing, I always think it's not a good thing for you to get too close to that Wen Xiuyuan, and now that she has become the queen's person, you must be careful!" ”
I nodded obediently: "I know, Sister Liu, how did you enter the palace and become the emperor's woman, Sister Liu is becoming more and more verbose!" ”
Liu Jianxue angrily shook off my hand: "You don't look at what I'm rambling for!" ”
"Yes, yes, Sister Liu is all for Huaixing's good, Huaixing is here to thank Sister Liu for her kindness!" As he spoke, I bowed to Liu Jianxue, but was helped up by Liu Jianxue: "You girl, what are you doing!" ”
After speaking, I got up and grabbed Liu Jianxue's arm again, and just held her in the direction of Xiwu Palace: "Sister Liu, there have been a lot of things in the palace recently, you have to be more careful, even when serving the emperor, you have to be extra careful." ”
I would never say such a thing on weekdays, but now that I say such a thing, Liu Jianxue has also become very intersecting: "Huaixing, I'm not worried about myself, I'm worried about you, you said that your sleeping matter is full of twists and turns, what if the emperor blames it?" ”
I shook my head indifferently: "Anyway, now that the emperor has abandoned me, as long as it is not a cold palace and I have not been restricted from moving, I don't care." ”
Liu Jianxue sighed: "How can it not matter, now the people in the palace are spreading that the Xiwu Palace has become a cold palace, and even the Internal Affairs Office dares to deduct your share, how will you live!" ”
I didn't expect the matter of Xiwu Palace, Liu Jianxue knew so clearly, now, even if I wanted to hide, I was afraid that there would be nowhere to hide.
"Sister, these are all trivial things, but it's just a matter of appetite and endurance!" I'm not going to continue this topic.
At this time, Hua Zao, who was beside Liu Jianxue, suddenly ran over: "Little master, little master, the people from the worship room around the emperor came to spread the word, saying that the emperor turned over the little master's green card today!" ”
Liu Jianxue looked back at me, presumably she didn't want to say these things about the emperor or the maid in front of me, Hua Zao immediately realized what she had done wrong because of her eyes, and quickly knelt down and asked me for guilt: "It's all slaves and maids who are stupid, it's all slaves and maids who are not good, and please don't be angry!" ”
I smiled nonchalantly, I didn't care about Hua Zao's words at all: "Get up quickly, take your little master and hurry back to prepare, it doesn't matter if I'm angry or not, if the emperor is angry, then things in Changchun Palace may be bad!" ”
Hua Zao also realized the seriousness of the matter, and immediately pulled Yanagi to leave.
Liu Jianxue brushed her hand away: "It's just that the emperor is here, are you so flustered!" ”
I knew that Liu Jianxue was afraid that I heard that the emperor had gone to Changchun Palace, but I felt sad and sad about ignoring Xiwu Palace, so I hurriedly interrupted her and reprimanded: "Okay, sister, don't reprimand Hua Zao, Hua Zao is also for your sister's sake, if you chill Hua Zao's heart, no one will bring tea and water to my sister in the future!" ”
Liu Jianxue saw that I was still in the mood to talk and laugh here, so she knew that I didn't have a big deal at all, so she didn't continue to entangle with Duoduo: "Then I'll go first, you have to be careful in the imperial garden alone!" ”
Liu Jianxue said this because today is the day when the emperor feasts Prince Guo, if something happens to me in the imperial garden at this time, my reputation will be completely ruined, and in the harem, a woman whose reputation is ruined is not qualified to live.
I smiled and waved my hand at Liu Jianxue: "Okay, my most verbose sister, you should hurry up and visit Changchun Palace, if the emperor doesn't see you, he will definitely be angry." ”
I urged one after another, and it was only then that Liu Jianxue turned around and left the imperial garden step by step.
"Little master, aren't we going back to Xiwu Palace?" Qiushui saw that I was stunned for a long time, and couldn't help but ask.
I looked up at the starry sky and found that there were no clouds in the night sky today, and the stars in the sky were twinkling and twinkling.
"No, we ate a lot of wine at the banquet today, and we will continue to stroll around the Imperial Garden, so as to dissipate the wine." With that, I walked towards the depths of the Imperial Garden.
If it is on weekdays, the place I don't like to come to the most should be the Imperial Garden, which is the place where I often meet the emperor, but now it's not just night, and the emperor has turned over the sign of Liu Jianxue, I believe that I will never meet the emperor in the Imperial Garden today.
In the Imperial Garden, the summer flowers are gone, and now there is a white snowfield, and there is an inaccessible white snow in the corner, and the white snow is like a snow-white carpet, which makes people want to leave their own traces.
"Qiushui, you just wait for me here, I'll go in and have a look." After saying that, I walked towards the snow where the Imperial Garden was, and when Akisui saw that I was only interested in the snow, he didn't follow and stayed outside.
However, as soon as I arrived at the snow field that I wanted to destroy, a man's voice came into my ears: "Which palace are you the little master?" ”
