Chapter 146: The Right Candidate (Medium)
Qing Ruxu saluted respectfully, lowered her eyes and replied: "It's a courtier, I don't know what Her Royal Highness the princess commands?" ”
The eleventh princess looked at her deeply, and wanted to go up and give her two slaps, but last time she got into trouble in the paddock, she was taught a lesson by Concubine Hui, which made her restrain a lot, and at this time she could only think about it secretly in her heart, not to mention that Qingru Xu had just saved Princess Hanyuan, and she had just been freed from the grounding, and provoking trouble at this time was tantamount to asking for trouble, and her father would definitely be unhappy.
After being entangled in her heart for a long time, the eleventh princess let go of this opportunity to meet on a narrow road and said, "Have you been to see the imperial sister?" ”
"Yes, the courtier's daughter has just come out of Zhengyang Palace."
"How is the royal sister at this time? What kind of miracle doctor did you recommend, really make the imperial sister heal? ”
"Her Royal Highness Princess Hanyuan is recovering, and I think we will see results in the near future."
The eleventh princess frowned, didn't ask any more, raised her chin and glanced at Qing Ruxu with contempt: "You stand down!" ”
"The courtiers send off Her Royal Highness the Princess."
The eleventh princess snorted lightly and turned to leave, Qing Ruxu looked at her back and raised her eyebrows slightly, thinking that she didn't find trouble for herself today? After thinking about it carefully, it became clear that at this time, this princess should be afraid of angering the emperor again. She shook her head amusefully and headed for the Spring Palace.
On the other side, the emperor hesitated outside the palace wall for a moment after leaving Zhengyang Palace, originally he wanted to visit Han Yuan, and by the way, he rested in Zhengyang Palace for a while, but when he saw Queen Chen behaving like this in front of several little girls, he was a little reluctant to oppose her, Liu Zhaoyi's face flashed in his heart, and he paused for a moment and vetoed the idea of going, and said: "Go to Yihua Palace." ”
In Yihua Palace, Yuan Ruoying came out, and Ying Ying bowed down: "The concubine sees the emperor." ”
"Excuse me, Ruo'er seems to have been reduced."
Emperor Zhaoren gave a hand, and Yuan Meiren got up with a hint of grievance on her face: "The concubines have not seen the emperor for many days, and they have lost their appetite for tea and rice, so they naturally reduced their ......."
Before Yuan Meiren mentioned Princess Chonghua in the Queen Mother's Longevity Palace, she wanted to extinguish the prestige after the abolition, but the Queen Mother didn't care, but gave Princess Chonghua a correct name, she was blocked in her heart, and heard that the emperor often went to the cold palace, a fire came up, and she was very sick for a few days, and she lost a lot of weight.
Emperor Zhaoren looked at her and smiled faintly, even if the other concubines blamed her in their hearts, they didn't dare to say it, only this Yuan Ruo dared to put dissatisfaction on her face. "Alright, I'm not here."
Yuan Ruo's expression suddenly became coquettish and lovely, thinking that the emperor's fear of the abolition of the queen was also fresh for a while, how could a woman of that age compare to herself? Deng Shi was also happy, "The concubine will order to go down and serve a few good dishes, Ruo'er will accompany the emperor to eat." ”
After a while, the dishes were ready, Emperor Zhaoren persisted in tasting a few bites, and when he saw the three-wire knocking fish, he thought that Liu Zhaoyi seemed to love this dish very much, but he always felt that the imperial chef in the palace did not have any taste, and his face couldn't help but fade. Lowered the chopsticks.
Yuan Ruo observed his words and asked, "Don't the emperor like it?" ”
Emperor Zhaoren was silent: "No, it's just that I remember that there are some things, Ruo'er can eat it yourself, I will go first." ”
Yuan Ruo was a little unhappy when he heard this, but he didn't dare to stop him, so he could only watch the emperor leave.
After a while, she let go of her tightly clenched fingers and instructed the palace people around her: "Go and inquire, where will the emperor go out of me!" ”
"Yes, slave and maid will go."
This Zhaoren Emperor went out of Yihua Palace to the "Cold Palace" Bixiao Palace, Qingxue was swept away by the palace people, leaving only a thin layer that had just fallen, and stepped on it to make a creaking sound.
There was only one palace maid serving in Bixiao Palace, and when she saw that the emperor was suddenly coming, she was not in a hurry, she only saluted slowly.
Emperor Zhaoren didn't see Liu Zhaoyi's figure, so he asked, "Where is your mother?" ”
"Back to the emperor, the mother is taking a nap."
Hearing this, Emperor Zhaoren turned all the way from the corridor, pushed open the door of the dormitory, paused at the door, and ordered Yang Dean and the other palace people behind him, "You don't have to follow. ”
The obedient people stopped outside the temple.
The dormitory is as warm as spring, Emperor Zhaoren went all the way in, bypassed the screen and saw the curtain, then saw Liu Zhaoyi lying sideways on the couch, a not very heavy brocade quilt covered his body, and collapsed out of a winding and graceful arc in the slender waist, he couldn't help but think of the sentence "Green waist dance trapped pipa rest", here, it should be changed to "green waist winter sleepy ancient string rest".
He suddenly felt funny when he had such a thought, and he felt as if he had returned to the mood he had when he was a teenager and when he first saw Ah Xue. Ah Xue is naturally incomparable in his heart, and over the years, what can make him interested again and want to savor it is the woman in front of him who hates him deeply.
………………
At the same time that Yuan Ruo learned that Emperor Zhaoren had gone to the Cold Palace, Empress Chen also knew about it.
Now that her younger brother Chen Ji is close in front of her, she can't help gritting her teeth: "You have been back in Beijing for many days, you must have heard about what happened in the palace in the past six months." ”
"Why should I panic." Chen Ji said lightly. He followed Xuanping and returned triumphantly, although it was not the first credit, but it also had a lot of credit, and the Chen family's position in Beijing became more and more stable year by year, how could it be easily shaken by a abolished queen who was destroyed in the cold palace.
Empress Chen didn't think so: "Hmph, you underestimate the emperor's courage, don't forget, what happened to the Liu family back then!" ”
Chen Ji's color changed suddenly, and he said for a while: "Don't kill all the people who participated in this time, even if the emperor suspects it, you can't find any clues." ”
"It's better to be like this." Empress Chen's face was very ugly, and she always felt that something was missing.
The sixth prince, Li Qi, came back with blood, and saw many people standing outside the hall from a distance, so he asked, "Who is in the palace?" ”
Empress Chen's personal maidservants, Qizhen and Saiyu, knelt down and saluted, and Qizhen replied, "Jin Wuwei General Chen Ji has been summoned to visit Niangniang. ”
Li Qi nodded, and walked towards the hall, Saitama hesitated a little and wanted to stop Li Qi, but Qizhen grabbed her and said, "Niang Niang said that there is no need to avoid the Sixth Highness in everything." ”
Li Qi entered the inner hall, first saluted Empress Chen, and then said to Chen Ji: "Uncle." ”
Chen Ji hurriedly got up, "Your Highness." ”
Empress Chen pressed her hand at him and said, "Uncle and nephew, don't be polite." ”
Chen Ji sat down again and looked at Lin: "Your Highness has just gotten out of school?" ”
"Hmm." Li Qi bowed: "Today's weather is very cold, and my hands and feet are so cold." ”
Empress Chen was suddenly a little distressed: "Qi'er went inside to rest for a while, the queen mother and uncle still have something to say." ”
Li Qi was obedient, and he didn't ask much when he heard the words, so he went inside. Empress Chen looked at her son's back and sighed: "Qi'er is too kind, it may not be a good thing in this Da'an Palace." ”
"Your Highness is still young."
Empress Chen said: "It's not small, as a prince, this age is not small. The Sacred Heart is unfathomable, and my heart is really uneasy. The matter on the side of Jiuzhi Mountain has not been completed, and there is such a variable in the palace......" Empress Chen's eyes suddenly rolled tears: "If one day I also come to the same level as Liu Zhaoyi, what should I do with my miser?" ”
"Where's the mother." Chen Ji knelt down in fear, "How can my brother make Niangniang fall to such a point, the Chen family and Niangniang are one, and the Sixth Highness is one." At this point, no matter what happens, there is no way out, there is no need to retreat and retreat, since God favored our Chen family back then, we will not be defeated by the Liu family now! ”
Empress Chen was slightly relieved when she heard this, and said, "The one in the cold palace is getting the holy heart more and more, and you and I can't sit still anymore." At that time, the Chen family couldn't even be called a prestigious family, and it took her a lot of effort to climb to the position of the concubine, and she never thought that one day she would be able to marry the world, but she seized the opportunity and came to this point, she couldn't let go, and was trampled under the feet of a woman.
"Mother, please command." Chen Ji's face was solemn, obviously worried that once Liu Zhaoyi confused Emperor Zhaoren, he would want to thoroughly investigate the death of Empress Chunrong back then, although he thought that he had destroyed everything to fight for, but there is no absolute in this world, what if he missed something? In the end, it is necessary to completely end the waste to be at ease.
Empress Chen narrowed her eyes and said: "From the moment I entered the palace and became a concubine, I knew that my husband would have countless women in the future, and I had already been mentally prepared not to care about him cherishing other details, but the whole person must not be Liu Zhaoyi!" ”
She called Chen Ji to come over and whispered a few words in his ear, Chen Ji slowly opened his eyes and frowned, "Is it a bit risky?" ”
"If you don't take risks, how can you get things done? As soon as she died, everything dissipated, including grace and resentment! ”
………………
On this day, the weather was clear, Qi Ayaxue bought paper from Wei Ruixuan and came out to prepare to go home, who knew that the wheels of the carriage suddenly broke halfway, and there was a loud "bang", and the car suddenly fell to the side, and the coachman outside "ouch", it seemed that he fell from the carriage, and Qi Ayaxue was defenseless for a while, her forehead hit the carriage, and a trace of blood suddenly flowed, Min Feng couldn't care about anything else, and hurriedly went to help her: "County Lord!" ”
The horse was a little frightened, and rushed forward with the carriage, praying that Ayaxue didn't have time to answer, as the carriage's arm swayed left and right, Min Feng couldn't care about himself and wrapped his hand around her, but it didn't have much effect, and then there was a chaotic sound outside, only to hear the sound of "hoo", it seemed that someone pulled the horse and stopped the carriage abruptly.
Qi Ayaxue was not lightly knocked just now, her head was a little dizzy, and she was half helped and half carried by Min Feng and got out of the carriage.
"This is Lord Qi's carriage, right?"
Min Feng endured the pain all over his body and looked up, and saw the lady Xie of the Rongguo Mansion getting down from the carriage and questioning her, and the person who helped them restrain the horses was obviously also a servant of the Xie family.
"The slave maid has seen Madame, thank you Madame for saving our county lord."
Xie Shi looked at Qi Ayaxue in surprise, and saw that her forehead was broken, and was startled: "Ah, it was so badly injured?" ”
Min Feng helped Qi Ayaxue, and when he saw the painful look on her face, he panicked a little.
Xie Shi said on the side: "Hurry up, first help your county lord to my carriage, and go to my mansion first to let Lang Zhong take a look at this injury!" ”
