Chapter 8: The Queen's Conspiracy
"I discussed this matter with the queen a few days ago, but it happened that you came, if you really don't dislike the Red Tape of Central Plains women, go back and tell you Khan this time, I will immediately prepare a high chariot and horse, and choose a leader from among the powerful to marry you as a concubine, then it will be colorful in the future."
"The emperor and the queen love the grassland people so much, let the humble position move in the heart!" As he spoke, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed, but he uttered an idiom that made both the emperor and the queen laugh uncontrollably: "Our khan is very fond of the girl with fine skin and tender flesh in the Central Plains, and she is so hungry that she is thirsty." β
The envoy remembered that Sukhbaru was often stunned by a picture of a lady, and he was getting older. Therefore, I actually accepted this family business.
"Messenger, this matter is settled! The palace and the emperor will definitely choose a talented and beautiful girl for your khan, but unfortunately the palace and the emperor do not have an emperor, otherwise it is better to kiss and kiss. Speaking of emotion, the queen gently touched the corner of her eye.
"You don't have to be sad, this matter should be sooner rather than later, let the Khan repair a letter as soon as you go back, you can look for it early!" Shuji, it's all right! All is well! β
"Yes! Be! Everything! Come, envoy, I'm in a good mood today, drink this cup, drink this cup! β
Naturally, I am in a good mood, after all, the big thing on my mind is going.
"The concubine is not strong enough to drink, and she can't accompany you to get drunk before resting, and after eating this last glass of wine, the concubine will retire. Rong envoys and the emperor had a good chat about the customs. The queen bowed generously, raised a glass of wine after speaking, and smiled at the envoy.
The envoy is an out-and-out old drunkard, and he has drunk a lot, and he is still dignifiedβ"Niangniang should go back to rest and rest." The envoy raised a glass of wine and drank it down.
The queen has no rest!
As soon as she returned to Yishou Palace, she was nervous.
Therefore, he summoned Tobe Shangshu. Where did the Hubu Shangshu know that he was suddenly summoned and had any orders, so he could only enter Yishou Palace obediently.
In Yishou Palace, the queen was sitting in a precarious position, and when she saw Hubu Shangshu coming in, she got up with a smile - "You help the palace investigate a person, check how old that girl is this year, and the palace is useful." β
"Yes, yes." Hubu Shangshu didn't dare to slack off, and immediately asked people to check.
After all, it is a person from the imperial court, and the queen has not drunk all the tea here, and the book of the household department has already come, and a piece of paper in the tray is full of fly-headed small letters, and the handwriting is so upright. The queen looked at it, pursed her lips and smiledβ"It's also quite the same age." You step aside, what this palace wants you to do today, you don't have to tell anyone, it matters! Matter! β
"Yes, yes......" Tobe Shangshu cautiously retired-"Wechen must be tight-lipped." β
Three days later, a letter from Sukhbaru arrived.
Although the literature and science are not comprehensible, and even half-literate. But the true feelings revealed between the lines are clear at a glance, the emperor saw the letter to the queen, and the queen looked at it, and there was a light smile on her lips, "The concubine knows that he will not have any opinions." β
"It's really 'hungry'!" The emperor smiled, "I see that you have been busy these days, who is the flower, do you even have to hide it?" β
"It's not that it's not concealed, you also know that you go to the grassland to make peace, speaking of which Emperor Gao was far away that day, and there are many women in my Central Plains who are not adaptable, even if the concubine finds a suitable one, it is not necessary to have a good chat with the woman's family, and the matter will be delayed."
"The queen thinks about it, but this is also a booming thing, I don't know how many girls in the market want to have this luck! Besides, with my holy purpose, she will be happy to get on the sedan chair. β
"The concubine has actually found someone, take a look." The queen said as she took out a piece of paper, on which was drawn a girl with bright eyes, who had the most perfect melon seed face in the imperial capital, and a pair of sharp eyes.
When the emperor saw this, he immediately smiled approvingly: "I don't know whose child this is?" Is it still waiting for the boudoir? β
"The concubine has already inquired, the family background is first-class, and this woman has not yet been married to anyone, according to your meaning, you can just write the holy decree, isn't this equivalent to taking advantage of it?" The queen said so.
"I won't wronged her, not all girls want to get married! There is a marriage that I refer to, don't talk about this woman, even this woman's family is waiting for it! You can say whose girl it is, and I will write the holy decree now. β
The queen spat out a name like a bead.
The emperor hesitated slightly, but still laid out the raw silk and wrote the holy decree.
"In this matter, let's let the concubine go out, the concubine is a woman, and she speaks softly."
"You think, go! I see that you are victorious, and my monarch is becoming more and more remarkable. The emperor looked at the queen with admiration.
The queen is indeed a very good woman, which is why the queen has always been the leader for many years.
The sixth day of June in the summer calendar is a very good auspicious day for the zodiac.
Hua Jingyao got up, and Kou Zhu immediately waited for Hua Jingyao to make up, "Miss, the master seems to be busier than some time ago, and there is no one up and down all day." β
"The master is naturally busy, not like us, hey." Hua Jingyao also pinched a cold sweat for her father, Hua Jingyao's previous understanding of Dijing was the same as that of her mother, which was nothing more than the dumping and persecution between several powerful people. But now, Hua Jingyao suddenly felt that things were not as simple as she imagined.
Dijing's calculations are simply not something anyone can predict.
"Miss, don't be stunned, let the slave give you some lips." Kou Zhu held the fat powder and gently touched Hua Jingyao's lips.
Hua Jingyao's complexion has not been good in the past few days, especially today, pale as iron. Kou Zhuzhu blushed, looked at Hua Jingyao, and said, "Okay, miss, the slave will go and prepare for you early." β
"Kou Zhu, my heart is beating fast today, as if I have some bad premonitions."
"Miss, you are really worried! Look at the big banyan tree in the courtyard outside, and there are two beautiful magpies in pairs. Kou Zhu pointed to the big banyan tree at the door, and Hua Jingyao took a look, "Kou Zhu, that's not a magpie, that's a crow." β
"Ah, miss, how can it be a crow?"
"Kou Zhu, the world is as black as a crow, how can you see it as a magpie." Hua Jingyao corrected Kou Zhu's cognition, the two were still chatting, and it was rumored that the queen had arrived.
"Miss, the queen is here." The bronze mirror in Kou Zhu's hand rolled down to the floor of the doorway, splitting apart.
Hua Jingyao settled down-"Finally, it's time to come." β
