Chapter 109: Don't be stubborn
However, for this kind of person who betrayed his master, Wang Jinyun would never give him a chance. It is said that one day is a teacher and a father for life, even if Xiao Qizi is not very good to him, but listening to their conversation, you can also know that Xiao Qizi has a life-saving grace for Xiao Qiuzi, but at this time today, Xiao Qiuzi can betray his master to let himself survive. Like this kind of white-eyed wolf, Wang Jinyun can do it without disposing of him, which is already the limit.
There is a way that people do not destroy the heavens and the earth for their own sake, and there is indeed some truth.
Wu Yuyan nodded as if she didn't understand, she didn't think as much as Wang Jinyun, but she felt that although Xiao Qiuzi's behavior was understandable, she couldn't be forgiven. If he had reported it in the first place, things wouldn't have gotten to the point where they are today. In that case, maybe Li Yiqian would reward him when he was happy, but now that it has caused such a big impact, he wants to explain everything, and it is too late.
In Yuquan Palace, during dinner, Xiaoxi also told Lin Yaxin what he heard about what happened in Zhuxue Palace just now. Lin Yaxin was not surprised when she heard that the main messenger behind the scenes was Lan Yu, Wang Jinyun had already told her that there was something wrong with Lan Yu. Regarding the matter of Lan Yu and Zhao Qinyue, unlike other people's doubts, Lin Yaxin was very indifferent. Li Yiqian had told her about Lan Yu's life experience, so it was not surprising that she would do that kind of thing to Zhao Qinyue.
For the final disposal, Lin Yaxin always felt that it was not so simple, Lan Yu still had use value, and Li Yiqian should not let her die so easily. Thinking that it was Mu Xiu who took her out in the end, Lin Yaxin's heart was even more determined in her thoughts.
Not long after eating, Li Yiqian came over. Lin Yaxin said her guess, and after she finished speaking, she saw Li Yiqian looking at her with a smile on his face, and she knew that she was right.
Lan Yu is now locked in a secret prison, and after Mu Xiu took her out, he took her back to Lanxi Palace directly, and took advantage of Sun Qi's absence to knock her unconscious and throw her under the bed. When she was having dinner in the palace just now, the people of the Dragon Emperor had already quietly brought her back, and it was the people of the Dragon Emperor who were carried out instead of Lan Yu. Those people naturally have little interest in a person who is already dead, so no one would think that there would be fraud in this.
Most of the people who were assigned to carry the corpse were rough palace people, and they were often angry on weekdays, so naturally they would not have much affection for this kind of concubine who was convicted and died, so they covered it with a white cloth and threw it directly into the dry well in the palace. And that man was rescued by the people who were secretly following them after they were all gone.
At this point, the rumors have come to an end, and the person who should be dealt with has also been punished, leaving only one Lan Yu, who everyone doesn't know, has been left behind because she still has use value, but her life is not easy. All those who were locked up in the secret cell, except for Gongsun Ce, who had been specially confessed by Li Yiqian, had to go through high-intensity torture and interrogation until they confessed what Li Yiqian needed them to say.
And after this incident, the people in the palace also have a deeper understanding of Lin Yaxin's status in Li Yiqian's heart, the concubines are full of jealousy of her, and the palace people are full of fear, and they are more and more concerned about the errand of Yuquan Palace. You must know that Lan Yu overshadowed Lin Yaxin's limelight a few days ago, but now that she was executed by Li Yiqian just because of a rumor, even she can't do it, and it is even more impossible for them to compete with her.
After that, all parts of the Huaguo Palace really entered the intensive preparations, because Li Yiqian's birthday banquet was about to begin. This time, the other two countries also sent heavyweights to congratulate the birthday, so there must be no mistakes, otherwise Huaguo will really be embarrassed.
Wu Yuyan and Wang Jinyun, who had just taken over the palace affairs, were even more busy these days, although they only needed to arrange everything and then arrange it, but there were too many things to arrange. Originally, Wu Yuyan had already started thinking about the arrangement of this birthday banquet a long time ago, but because there were more envoys from the two countries, some of the things that were originally prepared could not be used, and everything had to show the demeanor of a great country.
And the concubines in each palace have also reined in, and they are no longer as unscrupulous as before, not because they know the importance of this birthday banquet, but because Wu Yuyan has issued an order early in the morning, and everything that is found out during the birthday banquet will be dealt with strictly. In other words, once what you have done is found out, then what you might have been able to deal with with someone who might have interceded and only needed to be grounded may now be directly going to the cold palace to stay. Besides, Lan Yu's example is right in front of them, and they must be more thoughtful when they do it again, so as not to make a mistake and become a thousand years of hatred.
After the Queen Mother and Li Yiqian heard about this, they did not express any opinion on it. This is equivalent to giving a warning to those people in the harem, if someone makes a mistake, the two of them will definitely not care, and they will be handled by Wu Yuyan. This made many people dispel the idea of wanting to be interested in the birthday banquet, after all, if they want to deal with them, they are not in a hurry, if they lose themselves because of this, then it is to let others benefit.
In addition, they have to come up with an ingenious gift to make themselves stand out from the crowd, and maybe they can soar to the sky, which makes them even less time and energy to make trouble.
On the day of the birthday banquet, the palace was lively early in the morning. Even the Queen Mother, who hadn't appeared in front of everyone for a long time, came out, and the day before, the concubines of each palace received the general process of the birthday banquet sent by Wu Yuyan and Wang Jinyun, which was also to avoid chaos in the busy. Because there are many things that need to be done together, everyone must have an understanding of the specific time in their hearts.
Before the hour, the main hall of each palace began to be moved. Originally, when Liu Yuyang managed various matters in the harem, she asked everyone to go to her palace every few days to sit, which was called homely, but it actually showed her rights. But after Wu Yuyan took over, she was troublesome, and she also felt that a group of people with different thoughts had nothing to say about sitting together, so she was exempted from this "rule", not to mention that she didn't want to see those people when there were no special things in general.
But on today's special day, no matter what time of day people get up on weekdays, they get up early in the morning, start bathing and changing clothes very early, and then dress up. Their makeup and clothing are almost all prepared from a very early stage, from the overall style design to the matching of a pair of earrings after careful consideration. In order to leave a good impression on Li Yiqian.
Just like Liu Yuyang and Zhao Qinyue, even if they know that they are about the same age as Li Yiqian, far less young and beautiful than those who have just entered the palace, and not as innocent and cute as the daughters of officials who will appear at the birthday banquet, they will still dress themselves up with their hearts to show their status and status, which is called losing people and not losing battles, even if their hearts are sour, they have to overpower others on the surface.
At the right time, all the concubines in the palace came to Fushou Palace. Of course, Li Yiqian arrived one step ahead of them. Although this day was Li Yiqian's birthday, he had proposed to Wu Yuyan that he would come to Fushou Palace to meet the Queen Mother first, and thank her for giving him life back then. So there is a scene where everyone gathers in Fushou Palace. They came together from Yuzhen Palace, because it was the closest place to the Queen Mother's Fushou Palace.
This morning, they will accompany the Queen Mother here until noon, and then go back to the palace for dinner, and then go to the palace banquet on time. Today's palace banquet is different from the kind that only Chinese people usually attend, so the time is also an hour earlier.
Li Yiqian was talking to the Queen Mother about some interesting things in the past, when he heard people outside come in and say that they were coming.
"I've seen the emperor and the queen mother." No matter what they thought about the Queen Mother in their hearts, those concubines were very respectful to the Queen Mother at this time, because they also heard that this time the emperor proposed to come to Fushou Palace to thank the Queen Mother, and the emperor could still think about the Queen Mother on his birthday, which shows the importance of the Queen Mother to him, and as the emperor's concubines, they naturally did not dare to treat it slowly.
"It's all out of courtesy. Today is Qian'er's birthday, but let you all come to pay homage to the mourning family, which shows that Qian'er has a heart. When the Queen Mother saw their arrival, she naturally guessed what was going on, and she was very pleased with Li Yiqian's filial piety.
"Let's all sit down, let's talk as a family, we don't have to be so stubborn." Xu is because of his birthday, and Li Yiqian also gave these people a rare smile. Especially when she saw Lin Yaxin with a big belly, her smile added a bit of sincerity.
Feeling that the people above were looking at him, Lin Yaxin also raised his head and winked at him.
The Queen Mother knew what he was thinking as soon as she saw Li Yiqian's expression, and she couldn't help but sigh infatuated in her heart. Anyway, today is Qian'er's birthday, and everything comes first to his preferences. said to Aunt Ying beside her, "Go, change Xin Zhaoyi's tea with white water." She is pregnant and should not drink tea. ”
As soon as this sentence came out, the smile on Liu Yuyang's face froze. For some reason, she suddenly thought of the scene of the unhappy parting with the Queen Mother in Fushou Palace last time, and she felt a little uneasy.
"Sister Xin is really blessed, not only is she pregnant with the imperial heir, but even the queen mother takes more care of you." Zhao Qinyue said with a smile.
Since the last time she fought with Lan Yu in the Bamboo Snow Palace, she hadn't come out for a long time, presumably to avoid the limelight during that period of time. But the news in the palace has always been the fastest update, and Lan Yu is dead, so no one will mention anything related to her soon. Zhao Qinyue is now taking the opportunity of the birthday banquet to reappear in front of everyone's eyes again.
