Chapter 5: Concubine Li's "Good Heart"
Concubine Li and everyone felt a chill in their hearts when they heard this, this Yang Yi is known to be a fool and a plague god, he has rarely appeared in the palace, and he is completely dispensable.
Everyone subconsciously lowered Yang Yi's weight in the palace and was even far less important than those powerful eunuchs and palace maids.
can point to a prince and scold him for being a mongrel, isn't this a disguised saying that the emperor is a cuckold?
Concubine Li's face was pale, this matter can be big or small, if it goes to the emperor, she will inevitably end up with a crime of having no way to discipline.
And those who are related to this eunuch will inevitably die.
Yang Yi smiled and looked at Concubine Li, looking like she was determined to watch a good show.
Concubine Yang's mother on the side gently tugged Yang Yi's arm, looked at Yang Yi with a worried face, and said, "Forget Yi'er, you have already taught him a lesson." ”
Yang Yi knew that his mother was giving Concubine Li a step, although this matter was not inferior to Concubine Li's eunuchs, but even if the emperor blamed her, at most he would reprimand her twice, and in this way, it was concluded with a mother and son and Concubine Li Liangzi.
Yang Yi himself is not afraid, but he is worried that Concubine Li is too resentful and finds trouble with Concubine Ning.
Thinking of this, Yang Yi arched his hand to Concubine Li and said: "Concubine Li Niangniang's subordinates naturally make Yang Yi admire, but it's a pity that this dog slave didn't take Niangniang's teachings to heart so presumptuous, Yang Yi overstepped his authority to punish him on behalf of Niangniang, and asked Niangniang to forgive me." ”
Yang Yi can still say the scene.
Concubine Li's face softened a little when she heard this, and she snorted coldly and said to the subordinate next to her: "Don't carry him away quickly!" ”
Several eunuchs on the side hurriedly stepped forward and didn't bother to check whether the person was dead or alive, and hurriedly carried him out.
Yang Yi glanced at the bloodstains all over the ground, and said to the frightened palace maid behind Concubine Li: "A few of you will deal with this dog blood, don't smoke my mother." “
When several palace maids heard this, they hurriedly said yes and trotted out to fetch water.
In their eyes, Yang Yi, who was covered in blood at this time, was the plague god, standing there as a killing god, so much so that he forgot that he was Concubine Li's attendant, and obeyed Yang Yi's instructions.
Concubine Li looked embarrassed, but she couldn't stop it, pretending not to hear it, turned around and walked straight into the house.
Everyone entered the house, and when they arrived at the house, Concubine Li looked around, only to see that Concubine Ning's palace was simple and unpretentious, a few simple tables and chairs, and there were two ordinary embroideries hanging on the wall, and there was nothing else.
There are no gorgeous palace lights, bright carpets, groups of palace maids and eunuchs, and there is no trace of the luxury of the palace.
Concubine Li secretly mocked herself in her heart, and her face showed disdain without scruples.
What she didn't know was that this was all done by Concubine Ning deliberately, in the words she told Yang Yi, instead of making the home the same as the gloomy cold palace, it was better to be like this, although it was not good-looking, it was comfortable to live in and had the taste of home.
Concubine Li and Concubine Ning sat down, and an old palace maid in her fifties came in from the door, holding two cups of tea in her hands, and did not speak, put the tea in front of Concubine Li and Concubine Ning and retreated.
When Concubine Li saw this palace maid, she didn't even know how to do a courtesy, and said angrily: "This slave is so rude!" “
Concubine Ning hurriedly explained: "Sister, don't be angry, this person is a deaf and dumb mother, I met her from outside the palace, and I saw that she had no relatives and no reason to bring her back to the palace to serve our mother and son, she has never been out of our place, and she has never learned the etiquette in the palace, and I ask my sister to forgive me." “
Concubine Li snorted coldly, took a sip of tea and said, "What a room of weirdos." “
Concubine Ning didn't mind when she heard him speak meanly, and when she saw Yang Yi on the side wanting to speak, she hurriedly said: "Since I moved here, my sister has never been here, I don't know how my sister has time to come here today?" ”
When Concubine Li heard this, she glanced at Concubine Ning, glanced at Yang Yi behind her, put down the teacup and said with a smile: "Look at what my sister said, I just thought that I hadn't seen my sister for a long time, come and see if my sister is healthy." ”
Although she said this, Concubine Ning didn't know, but Yang Yi knew that she was here to vent her niece's anger, but she didn't want to be put on a role by Yang Yi first, and beat her personal eunuch half to death, and she didn't dare to speak out.
Yang Yi didn't poke it either, just clasped his hands on his shoulders and stared at Concubine Li with a smile, determined to see what else she could do.
Concubine Li was extremely uncomfortable by Yang Yi's evil eyes, as if he knew everything he was thinking, and straightened up and said: "By the way, I have another thing to do, that is, to inform my sister that this year's Daguang National Fortune is smooth, the wind and rain are smooth, and next month's Shangyuan Festival, the emperor will order the whole world to celebrate, and then the emperor will feast on hundreds of officials in the Jiayuan Palace, enjoy the lanterns and chant poems, and we will also go to the concubines." ”
After a pause, she stared at Concubine Ning with a smile and said, "Sister, don't you forget to bring a congratulatory gift for the emperor?" ”
Concubine Ning frowned slightly when she heard this, but she still said: "Thank you sister for bringing the words, my sister will definitely arrive on time."
Concubine Li saw Concubine Ning's sad face, and smiled knowingly: "Sister, can you hear clearly, the congratulatory gift to the emperor will be displayed in front of the hundred officials?" If my sister doesn't have it, she can speak. “
Yang Yi only understood at this time that this was the real purpose of Concubine Li's coming.
Yang Yi's mother and son have been neglected for many years, and the tribute allocated to the harem concubines in the palace every year, Concubine Ning has not been able to get it for a long time, and Concubine Ning has been living with the same money as the palace maids, if it weren't for the identity of the prince, I'm afraid I wouldn't even have this money.
The dowry that Concubine Ning brought when she went to the palace for more than ten years had already been spent, where could there be any congratulatory gifts.
It stands to reason that the emperor will not notify Yang Yi's mother and son at all for such a big scene as a banquet for hundreds of officials, and no one will ask if they don't go.
Concubine Li specially came to "invite" Yang Yi's mother and son this time, making it clear that she wanted them to make a fool of themselves, and it was not okay not to go, no one told you that you could pretend not to know, but the dignified Concubine Li came to invite you, and if you don't go, it will be a great disrespect to the emperor.
Concubine Li looked at Yang Yi's mother and son with a smile, picked up the tea and took a sip, and didn't speak, waiting for Yang Yi's mother and son to beg for mercy.
But he didn't want Yang Yi to smile and said: "Niangniang's kindness Yang Yi and her mother have understood it, since the message has been brought, Niangniang can go." “
Concubine Li was almost choked by the tea when she heard the words, and the palace maid next to her hurriedly stepped forward to stroke her back, and Concubine Li pushed the palace maid angrily and said, "You little miscellaneous... You..! Okay, good, let's see, I'll see if you can laugh then! “
Concubine Li stroked her sleeves and led a group of palace maids and eunuchs to slam the door.
Yang Yi looked at the group of people who came out, pouted and complained: "Crackling a group of two Bs." ”
Concubine Ning got up and said worriedly, "Yi'er, you're like this... It's okay for you to anger Concubine Li like this, right? ”
Yang Yi helped Concubine Ning to sit down, lay down on the chair and said, "Mother, don't worry, just leave this matter to Yi'er to deal with, and the old lady is also capable of this." ”
Concubine Ning looked at Yang Yi worriedly: "This Concubine Li and I have always had no enmity or grudge, why did she make a special trip to make trouble today?" ”
Yang Yi straightened up, squatted beside Concubine Ning, and after thinking for a while, she decided not to tell Concubine Ning the reason, she was worried: "Mother, you suffered before, Yi'er assures you that from now on, no one will bully our mother." ”
Concubine Ning touched Yang Yi's head when she heard this, and said with a smile: "Yi'er has finally grown up, no matter how hard my mother endures, it is nothing." ”
Although Yang Yi didn't take Concubine Li's difficulties to heart, it was really difficult to give the emperor a congratulatory gift on the Shangyuan Festival.
People who can walk in the imperial city are either rich or powerful, not to mention those who have money, there are too many things that can be sent, and those who have power are simpler, you just send a broken bowl, and you can also be said by everyone to be an ancient relic.
But Yang Yi has no power and no money, he dares to send a broken bowl up, and he knows his fate with his toes.
On this day, Yang Yi, who was almost well injured, walked aimlessly in the market.
"Nine... The Nine Emperors. ”
Yang Yi, who was thinking hard about the congratulatory gift, suddenly heard someone behind him shouting to him, turned around, and saw a private lady, looking at him in horror, this person Yang Yi looked familiar, and couldn't remember seeing it there for a while.
"You called me? Are you..?"
Seeing that Yang Yi was puzzled, the woman turned around and dragged behind her, Yang Yi saw that there was a child behind the woman, the child looked at him with a smile on his face, and shouted: "Brother, hello!" “
Seeing this child, Yang Yi finally remembered, wasn't this the child he rescued from under Li Yu's carriage in the Fang Market that day?
Yang Yi smiled, squatted down and touched the child's head and said, "The child still remembers his brother?" “
The child nodded and said with a smile: "Of course I remember, my brother is a plague god!" “
Yang Yi was a little embarrassed, the child's mother's face changed greatly, and she slapped the child's ass fiercely and said angrily: "Stinky child! What to say! “
"Childish words are unscrupulous." Yang Yi waved his hand, indicating that it was okay, and then asked, "What are you two mothers?" ”
The woman smiled awkwardly: "If it weren't for the Nine Emperors in Fang City to save him, my child would probably be..." ”
"It's just a small thing, you don't have to worry about it."
The woman said: "That day, the folk girl was frightened, and she didn't even say a word of thanks, and when she went home, my husband blamed me after hearing it, and told me to find an opportunity to thank the Nine Emperor Princes, but I didn't see the Nine Emperor Princes come to Fang City after taking it..."
While talking, I suddenly heard someone shouting: "Lady! Where is the benefactor? ”
Yang Yi looked up and saw a young man dressed as a Confucian running towards him, the man ran to him, and saw that the Nine Emperor Princes didn't say a word, arched his hands, bent down and bowed: "Nine Emperor Princes!" ”
Before Yang Yi could speak, the Confucian said to his son again: "Duan'er, don't you kowtow to your brother and thank you!" ”
"Uh," the honest child knelt down when he heard his father's words.
Yang Yi stepped forward and pulled the child down: "Hey, don't mind, I can't stand this!" ”
The Confucian scholar said with a straight face: "The Nine Emperor Princes have a great favor to my son, what is it to kowtow." Saying that, he urged the child: "Duan'er is not going to kowtow quickly." ”
"Hey, you..." Yang Yi held the child in his arms, not knowing what to do for a while.
At this time, the woman said, "Husband, let's find a teahouse and invite the benefactor to sit down, what is going on on this street." ”
Confucian suddenly patted his forehead and said, "Yes, yes, it's me who is confused, I am confused, but I don't know if the benefactor is free." ”
Yang Yi saw that the passers-by around him were slowly leaning over to this side, and it was not a way to be in a stalemate all the time, so he had to nod and say, "Just follow my brother's platform." ”
