Chapter 72: Resentment (2)
"Slaves and maids greet the emperor." Dong Han said to Xuanzong, who came straight away.
Xuanzong entered the door and asked with a pale face, "What about the queen mother?" ”
Dong Han bowed his head and replied, "Back to the emperor, the queen mother is chanting Buddha in you." Xuanzong said with anger on his face: "Go and call the queen out, I have something to do with her." ”
"The slave and maid will go at once." Dong Han replied and turned around and entered the warp building.
"Queen Mother" Dong Han called outside the house, and the smoke in the room was curling and I couldn't see clearly for a while, "Didn't the palace tell me not to disturb if I had nothing to do, why did I come in and disturb the Qing Xiu of the palace." Empress Hu walked out from behind the screen.
Dong Han said anxiously: "Queen Mother, the emperor came and said that he was looking for you." Empress Hu said suspiciously: "Oh? So what's going on. Dong Han shook his head: "The slave doesn't know, but the emperor came in a hurry with a displeased face." "Let's go, go out with the palace to have a look," said Empress Hu.
"The concubines see the emperor." Empress Hu and Dong Han knelt on the ground, Xuanzong sat straight on the soft couch without speaking, and Jin Ying reminded softly: "Your Majesty, the queen is still kneeling." ”
Xuanzong said: "Let her kneel for a while to reflect on herself." Queen Hu, who was kneeling on the ground, said: "Forgive the concubine for being ignorant, the concubine doesn't know what mistake she made to provoke the emperor to be so angry." Facing Queen Hu's questioning, Xuan Zongyi didn't speak, and looked straight out of the door.
"Your Majesty, the queen has been kneeling for a while." Jin Ying reminded Xuanzong softly beside him, and Xuanzong looked at Queen Hu, who was kneeling on the ground, and said that his anger gradually faded: "Get up." ”
Dong Han said: "Slave and maid thank the emperor." Queen Hu didn't speak, Dong Han hurriedly got up to support Queen Hu, and Jin Ying also stepped forward to help.
Xuanzong and Empress Hu sat side by side, neither of them spoke, and Jin Ying said softly: "Dong Han will go with me to the celebrant to get some things." Donghan said playfully, "Yes, 'Lord Chief. Dong Han went out with Jin Ying.
Not long after Jin Ying and Dong Han went out, Xuanzong threw a thick stack of copied scriptures on the table, and asked, "This is what you asked Sun Guifei to copy?" Queen Hu glanced at the scriptures and said, "It was the slave who asked her to copy it." You don't want to be angry with your concubines just because of this. Xuanzong said, "That's right, I came here for this. ”
Empress Hu smiled angrily and said: "Your Majesty, the concubine is the head of the six palaces, why not let Sun Guifei copy some scriptures, not to mention that these are all scriptures that ask for blessings and beggars, all of which are good for Sun Guifei, why is the emperor so angry with the concubine." Xuanzong said: "It's right for you to ask Sun Guifei to copy these scriptures, but what is wrong is that hundreds of pages of scriptures are made for Sun Guifei to copy in just three days, isn't it difficult?" ”
"Difficult? Your Majesty, when did the concubine make things difficult for Concubine Sun? The concubine asked Sun Guifei to finish copying it in three days, just because it was just in time for the Bodhisattva's birthday, so she burned these scriptures to show her sincerity and get the blessing of the Bodhisattva. Empress Hu said, Xuanzong said: "You burn incense and worship the Buddha, you can believe in it, why should you impose it on others, you respect the queen because you should be tolerant and tolerant of everything." ”
Empress Hu said: "Your Majesty, why did the concubine just ask Concubine Sun to copy the scriptures, why did she say that the concubine was so unbearable. "Okay, then I'll ask you again, why are you angry at Concubine Sun for no reason today?" Xuanzong asked, and Queen Hu said: "That's because Sun Guifei teased the concubine with an empty box, and the concubine said a few words to her in a moment's anger, is the concubine not even qualified to say a few words about Sun Guifei?" ”
Xuanzong asked, "Just say a few words and nothing else?" Empress Hu said: "There is nothing else, as for any other concubines, I don't remember." Xuanzong looked at Empress Hu and said, "I hope so, Empress I want to remind you not to forget your identity and do something inconsistent with your identity." Xuanzong got up and slammed the door.
Watching Xuanzong leave, Queen Hu fell to the ground from the soft couch and couldn't help but lose her voice in pain, Dong Han, who was not far away at the door, heard the queen's heartbroken cry and hurriedly ran in, Dong Han stepped forward to help the queen and asked with concern: "Niangniang, what's wrong with you?" ”
Queen Hu cried and said: "I am the queen who is marrying and summoning the world, why is he so angry with me for a concubine, is it not that my relationship with him has been nostalgic for him all these years." Seeing that Queen Hu was crying so sadly, Dong Han also cried, crying and crying, Queen Hu's eyes showed a fierce gaze, and said viciously: "Concubine Sun Guifei's palace is inseparable from you, and this palace still doesn't believe in fighting you, but you are a concubine." As he spoke, he stood up with the help of Dong Han.
"Mother, good news, good news." Concubine Wu Hui was sitting on the soft couch and was bored, and suddenly heard her personal palace maid shouting from outside the gate of Yong'an Palace, Concubine Wu Hui played with the jade bracelet in her hand and said: "Di Xiang, what are you yelling about, this palace is the same day after day, year after year, where is the good news." ”
Di Xiang stood in front of Concubine Wu Hui and gasped and said, "Niangniang, just now the slave maid met with Xiaohe of the 'Xianfu Palace', you know what she said." Hearing Di Xiang say "Xianfu Palace", Concubine Wu Hui was interested, poured a cup of tea, handed it to Di Xiang and said, "Come, drink a glass of water, take a breath and speak slowly." Di Xiang took the tea and said, "The slave thanked the mother." ”
Di Xiang took a sip of water and put it on the table and said: "Just now the slave maid and Xiaohe met and learned that Sun Guifei was scolded by the queen in the imperial garden today. Concubine Wu Hui laughed when she heard this, and said in a good mood: "This is really the best news that this palace has heard." Hey? Why was Sun Guifei scolded by Queen Hu? Concubine Wu asked a little strangely.
Di Xiang looked around and said softly: "Niangniang doesn't know, it's the ghost of 'Xianfu Palace' that was bought by Xiaohe, she changed the scriptures that Queen Hu asked Sun Guifei to copy, originally today's scriptures were presented to Queen Hu in a box, and Xiaohe secretly took out the scriptures before leaving,' Xianfu Palace's 'Yao didn't look closely, so he took an empty box and left, and when the imperial garden was presented to Queen Hu, it was already empty, and Queen Hu thought that she was being teased, and naturally she would not let Sun Guifei be better, so she scolded Sun Guifei fiercely. ”
Concubine Wu Hui couldn't stop nodding when she heard this, and said yes in her mouth, Di Xiang saw Concubine Wu Hui's highlights, and then said: "Niangniang, there are more good things than this." "Oh? It seems that today is a good show, Di Xiang, don't hide what you have, just say it and let this palace be happy. ”
Di Xiang said: "Soon after Concubine Sun Guifei returned to the 'Xianfu Palace' from the Imperial Garden, the emperor went to the 'Xianfu Palace'. The emperor had cherished Sun Guifei and now saw that Sun Guifei was bullied by others, so the emperor went to the 'Kunning Palace' to ask the teacher to ask for guilt and gave up to Queen Hu, and Queen Hu felt wronged and cried. ”
Concubine Wu Hui said with some excitement when she heard this: "In this way, the two of them will inevitably have contradictions, so that the two of them can fight to the death in this palace." The cranes and mussels compete, and the fishermen benefited, and the two of them had better die together. ”
Suppressing the excitement in her heart, Concubine Wu Hui said to Di Xiang: "Di Xiang, you have done a good job. This palace is a person with clear rewards and punishments, and meritorious service will be rewarded. Concubine Wu Hui dragged down the bracelet she was wearing on her wrist, pinched it in her hand, and said, "This bracelet has been with the palace for some years, and I will give it to you today." Di Xiang wanted to welcome and refused: "Niangniang, the slave and maid are all responsible for doing these things, and the slave and maid dare not ask for it." ”
Concubine Wu Hui took Di Xiang's hand and slapped the bracelet on Di Xiang's hand and said: "This palace asks you to take it, and there is nothing you dare not take, and you go and get a hundred taels of silver to send to Xiaohe of the 'Xianfu Palace' to let her do things well, this palace can't treat her badly." ”
Di Xiang said: "The slave and maid thank Niangniang for her grace, and the slave and maid will do it." Concubine Wu Hui said, "Well, you go." Di Xiang took the jade bracelet and went on an errand in her heart, and Concubine Wu Hui sat alone in the palace and said to herself: "Queen Hu, Concubine Sun Guifei, you fight, the more fierce the fight, the happier the palace will be, so that the emperor will come to my side." After speaking, he laughed, and his heart was full of longing for the emperor to favor him in the future.
