Chapter 378: The Upheaval of the Jingshi (2)

6495

On the 11th day of May in the 18th year of Zhenguan, the rising sun slowly crossed the high palace wall, sprinkling a ray of golden light between the palace and the ban, the early birds jumped around playfully on the treetops, chirping non-stop, several colorful butterflies flew up and down in the dew-filled flowers, dancing and light, everything seemed so peaceful, however, a grumbling sigh broke this harmonious tranquility - in front of the dresser in front of the window, A palace beauty who obviously just got up for a long time sat lazily on the courtyard chair, silently staring at herself in the bronze mirror, her eyes were full of emptiness and loneliness, her mouth was slightly open, and the long sigh sounded unconsciously, and the sorrow in it was deep and I don't know how much, this beauty is the prince Chenghui (a kind of title of the prince's concubine, is the sixth product, under Liangdi and Liangyuan. Aya.

"Yu Niangniang, my father-in-law is here." A little palace maid hurriedly walked into the room, walked quickly behind Aya, blessed a blessing, and whispered a word of retribution, interrupting Aya's worries.

"Well, pass it on." Aya didn't even look back, just frowned and commanded indifferently.

"Yes, sissy." The little palace maid hurriedly agreed to the promise, blessed again, turned around and walked out of the room, and after a while, she led Guan Dasong, the eunuch in charge of the East Palace, and walked in.

Although Aya is just a Chenghui, and the status of the concubines in the East Palace is not high, just medium, but Guan Dasong knows that Aya is the first concubine to follow the prince Li Zhi, and has always been very favored by Li Zhi. Immediately put down the things in his hand and hurried to come, at this time saw Aya sitting in front of the dresser with a lazy look, although she had doubts, she didn't even dare to ask, she rushed forward, bowed, and greeted very respectfully: "The old slave asked Chenghui Niangniang to say goodbye." ”

"Excuse me, my father-in-law knows that this palace has always been a bad courtesy." Aya turned back from the mirror, reached out and stroked her long hair, leaned idly on the dresser, and said lazily.

"That's the mother's considerate slaves, but the old slave doesn't dare to be rude, the mother is not strange, hehe, the mother has what to say, although the explanation is, the old slave should serve." Aya is kind to people on weekdays, and she is willing to give rewards, and she has a good reputation in the East Palace, and Guan Dasong has not lost its benefits, but she has always tried her best to tie her head over Aya.

"Father-in-law Guan has a heart, this palace invites you to come today, just ask, where is Your Highness now?" Aya did not have a pleasant face as before, but straightened her face and asked expressionlessly.

"Ah......" Guan Dasong opened his mouth in shock, his eyes turned quickly, and he didn't know how to explain it for a while-Prince Li Zhi has always been sticking to Wu Meiniang since he smuggled Wu Meiniang back to the East Palace from the palace ban, and it has been two days, and there is no sign of separation between the adulterers and adulteresses. Several personal eunuchs and Guan Dasong who knew about the matter were given a ban, just to prevent the first wives and concubines in the East Palace from making trouble, Aya asked about the matter coldly, seeing that the posture seemed to know the truth, and Guan Dasong didn't know how to deal with it.

"What? Is my father-in-law going to deceive Hongu, huh? Without waiting for Dasong to come back to his senses, Aya frowned and snorted impatiently.

"Ah, the old slave doesn't dare, the old slave doesn't dare, but His Royal Highness won't let him say it, and the old slave can't do it, alas, where should this start?" Although Aya has never attacked people in public, but she is from a slightly cold background, she has never fallen out of favor with Li Zhi, you can know that she must have an extraordinary skill, Guan Dasong did not dare to offend Aya easily, so he dealt with it vaguely, and deliberately pointed out that Li Zhi did not let him say it, not that he Guan Dasong did not want to say it.

Aya glanced at Guan Dasong dissatisfiedly, but did not ask any further, but waved her hand at the palace maids and eunuchs waiting on the side and said, "Wait for you to retreat!" ”

"Niangniang, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is ......" Guan Dasong saw that all the people had retreated, and as soon as his eyes rolled, he planned to take out all the bullshit that Li Zhi was playing - eunuchs are also people, although they are lowly, but they are always people, as long as they are human, they will have a temper, not to mention that Guan Dasong is also the chief eunuch of the East Palace, and he is also an official of the sixth grade, and he can be regarded as the number one person in the East Palace, and he has always served Li Zhi carefully in the past few years, but recently he has been humiliated by Li Zhi for no reason, was even beaten to the point of bleeding, and there was already resentment in his heart, I wish I could make Li Zhi feel a little uncomfortable, it is best to let Aya, the favored concubine, fight with Wu Meiniang fiercely, and show Li Zhi's ugliness, as for the big mess in the end, Guan Dasong doesn't care.

"Hmm." Aya didn't give Guan Dasong a chance to speak, raised her hand with a cold face, stopped Guan Dasong's words, and said calmly: "This palace doesn't want to listen to the gossip of His Royal Highness the Prince, Er Xiu wants to talk nonsense!" ”

"Ah......" Guan Dasong didn't expect Aya to put on a posture of secret talk, but he didn't want to listen to the "gossip", so he was dumbfounded, and he couldn't understand the intention of Aya's move, and a pair of small eyes turned around, but he didn't dare to say any more.

Aya didn't pay attention to the strange look on Guan Dasong's face, and said as if talking to herself: "This palace went to Sister Xiao's palace a few days ago, and talked about His Highness's bad appearance recently, it shouldn't be because the official business is too complicated, alas, those courtiers are too ignorant, how can they push all the big and small things to His Highness, if you are really tired of Your Highness, then how can you be good?" This is not only the palace that thinks so, Sister Xiao is also worried, this is about to get sick, the father-in-law can take care of Sister Xiao more, what do you say? ”

"Ah...... Yes, the old slave understands, the old slave understands. As soon as he heard Aya's words, he immediately understood that Aya was going to let him instigate the Xiao family to make trouble, and he was shocked in his heart, but he also screamed at the cruelty of Aya's methods - Xiao is the grandniece and granddaughter of Xiao Yu in Zhongshuling, noble birth, and extremely beautiful, Li Zhi's favor for him is especially above the crown princess Wang's, and he has always been obedient to him, which makes the Xiao family, who is already known for his pungent behavior, even more unscrupulous in the East Palace, No one has always dared to provoke him, if he can instigate him to have a fight with Wu Meiniang, then there must be a lot of excitement to see, Guan Dasong has long wanted to take revenge on Li Zhi, at this time, after Aya reminded him like this, he woke up at the time, and lowered his eyes and replied respectfully.

Aya quietly glanced at Guan Dasong to confirm that he really understood, and then raised his hand and said: "It's good if you know, go, don't delay, if there is an accident, don't blame the palace for not mentioning you." ”

Aya's words naturally have to be listened to in reverse, which means that if there is an accident, you Guan Dasong will carry it yourself, don't expect this end to help you come forward, Guan Dasong understands this clearly, although he is not angry, but when he thinks of being able to show Li Zhi's ugliness, he will admit it, besides, Guan Dasong has no other skills, and the ability to hand a word to the Xiao family in a roundabout way is still not lacking, and he doesn't care very much about whether Aya will come forward to help, he groaned slightly, and immediately bowed respectfully and said: "Please rest assured, Niangniang, The old slave has his own measure. ”

"Hmm." Aya nodded noncommittally, and didn't say anything more, just waved her hand and motioned for Guan Dasong to retreat by himself, however, Guan Dasong had just retreated, but Aya didn't look relieved, but frowned, her face was full of hesitation and hesitation......

In the study of the Xiande Palace, Wu Meiniang sat behind the wide desk, buried her head in the official document, swaying her pen and writing quickly, and was very busy, although this was the hour, and the day was not too hot, but Wu Meiniang's nose was drenched with fine beads of sweat, and her delicate face was also flushed because of her busyness, which looked particularly pretty, so that people couldn't help but have the urge to step forward and take a bite at a glance.

Although Wu Meiniang's eunuch costume is not a good fit, it does not reduce its beautiful demeanor at all, but it has a different kind of beauty, others may not think it is a good way, but Li Zhi, who just stepped into the study, was dumbfounded because of this, and stood at the door of the room for a long time, then tiptoed around the bend and walked behind Wu Meiniang, stretched out his hand to wrap Wu Meiniang's thin willow waist, and said softly: "Mei Niang, why did you get up so early, let the palace wake up but can't see anyone, it really should be punished!" As he spoke, he hugged Wu Meiniang into his arms.

"Ah, Your Highness, don't, be careful of soiling the fold." Wu Meiniang was originally approving the fold, but she didn't expect Li Zhi to be so Meng Lang, her hand shook, and the pen she was holding almost fell on the official document, and she was busy begging for mercy.

"Call Langjun, this palace will spare you." Li Zhi threw all the work of reviewing official documents to Wu Meiniang in the past two days, and he was only a copyist - Wu Meiniang's comments on the white paper were abridged, Li Zhi just copied the fold, regardless of whether Wu Meiniang's approval was right or wrong, but it was also very easy, and he was no longer as annoyed as a few days ago, but fortunately, Wu Meiniang was full of talent in government affairs. Seeing that the document as tall as a hill had disappeared in just two days, in a good mood, he felt more and more pity for Wu Meiniang, and regardless of the fact that this was a study, he laughed in front of the eunuchs.

Being able to openly call Li Zhi "Lang Jun" Wu Meiniang was willing to do so much, but she didn't want to call it out so easily, so she deliberately pretended to be weak and frightened, and begged for mercy in a low voice: "Your Highness, don't be, if it is, if it is seen, I'm afraid it's not good." But having said that, Wu Meiniang's body not only did not mean to break free from Li Zhi, but squeezed it vigorously into Li Zhi's arms, and slowly squeezed Li Zhi's lower abdomen with her buttocks, accompanied by a sound of "Xiao Niangniang has arrived", Xiao Liangdi, who was dressed in palace clothes, led a group of palace maids and eunuchs to push away the attendants in the study who tried to step forward to block them, and rushed into the study.

"Oops." As soon as Li Zhi saw that it was Xiao Liangdi who rushed in, he was frightened and trembled, and almost threw Wu Meiniang in his arms to the floor, and hurriedly exclaimed, and put Wu Meiniang in his arms, but he hurried forward and protected Wu Meiniang behind him, looking at the angry Xiao Liangdi with an embarrassed face, his mouth opened, but he still didn't say anything to justify - Li Zhi loves and fears this Xiao Liangdi, without him, Xiao Liangdi is as beautiful as a flower, and she is the first beauty in this Mandong Palace, Not to mention the crown princess Wang's family, even Wu Meiniang is inferior to Xiao Liangdi in appearance, plus she is noble, and she is also very good at bed kung fu, Li Zhi loves her very much, but on the one hand, Xiao Liangdi acts violently, and secondly, there is a prince Taibao and Zhongshu Ling Xiao's old man standing behind him, and the backer is tough enough, as far as Li Zhi's cowardly personality is concerned, he always feels a little shorter in front of Xiao Liangdi.

Xiao Liangdi is an arrogant person, before marrying in the Xiao Mansion, because of the favor of the old man Xiao, he has never suffered a loss, since he entered the East Palace, and Li Zhizhi's special favor Li Shimin did not personally recruit before, Li Zhi said that seven or eight days of ten days were spent in Xiao Liangdi's dormitory, but since Li Shimin's personal expedition, it has been nearly a month and a half, except for the first few days, Xiao Liangdi has never seen Li Zhi's face, originally thought that Li Zhi was diligent in government affairs, but he didn't pay much attention to it, but this morning I heard people talk about it, Only then did I know that Li Zhi had hooked up with the martial artists in the palace, and openly kept the martial artists in the East Palace, which made Xiao Liangdi very angry after being violated by others, and her mind was hot, so she rushed to the study to ask for the guilt regardless of it, and originally thought that this might be a misunderstanding, but I didn't expect to catch a current, how could the arrogant Xiao Liangdi swallow this breath, her pretty face was tense, and she didn't care about the people behind her, so she walked over quickly, with a calm face, looked at Li Zhi, and said in a loud voice: "Who is this?" ”

"I, I, you, you ......" Li Zhi panicked, his mouth stammered, his face was red and red for a long time, and he didn't say a word, and the small appearance of the nest made Xiao Liangdi angry, and no matter how many subordinates were present, he opened his mouth and reprimanded: "Your Highness doesn't think about the consequences when you act, you actually do such things!" ”

Li Zhi was ashamed and angry, his head was so low that he almost touched his chest, but he didn't dare to fight back, but Wu Meiniang couldn't help it - Wu Meiniang dared to come to the East Palace with Li Zhi, and she was ready to expose her adultery, and she was also suspicious that Xiao Liangdi was here, and at this time, seeing Xiao Liangdi's aggressiveness, she knew that she couldn't back down, otherwise, Li Zhi's cowardly personality would definitely not be able to withstand Xiao Liangdi's pressure, and she might send herself back to the palace. And this is absolutely intolerable to Wu Meiniang, therefore, as soon as Xiao Liangdi's voice fell, Wu Meiniang immediately turned out from behind Li Zhi, glanced at Xiao Liangdi contemptuously, and said coldly: "You are just a Liangdi, you dare to reprimand Your Highness in public, do you want to rebel?" ”

"You ......, presumptuous!" Xiao Liangdi didn't expect that Wu Meiniang was not only not afraid of herself, but scolded herself in public, and she was so angry that she trembled, and pointed at Wu Meiniang and scolded: "The shameless fox dares to seduce the prince, on the day Your Majesty returns to Beijing, you will die without a place, and you will dare to try to climb the dragon in vain, come to someone, and take this shameless especially for the palace!" Since Xiao Liangdi gave the order, the palace maids and eunuchs who followed him were ready to move.

"Presumptuous, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here, whoever dares to act recklessly will not be spared!" Wu Meiniang was not afraid of Xiao Liangdi's crowd at all, and broke off, which made the palace maids and eunuchs pause hesitantly.

"Take it, take down this slut for the palace, everything is in charge of the palace!" Seeing that the people under him did not obey the call, Xiao Liangdi shouted angrily, and his sharp voice shook Li Zhi's ear drums.

"Enough!" Although Li Zhi is cowardly and incompetent, he is still a man at the bottom, and at this time, seeing that Xiao Liangdi didn't take himself in his eyes at all, he couldn't help it, jumped up, and gave Xiao Liangdi a slap in the face with a round of arms.

Xiao Liangdi was the pearl of the Xiao family when she was a girl, and she was Li Zhi's favorite when she entered the East Palace, she had always been rampant, and she had never suffered so much, at this time she was slapped by Li Zhi in public, and her face hurt badly, and the trauma in her heart was heavy, staring at her phoenix eyes, looking at Li Zhi in disbelief with a face full of disbelief, she didn't react for a long time, and after a while in a daze, she suddenly cried loudly, and didn't say hello to Li Zhi, and rushed out of the door of the study as soon as she turned around. Seeing this, the eunuchs hurriedly chased them all out shouting, and the matter immediately broke out in the East Palace.

"Mei Niang, this palace ......" Li Zhi regretted it as soon as he finished beating people, but because Wu Meiniang was there, he didn't dare to chase Xiao Liangdi, his heart was pounding, and he looked at Wu Meiniang with embarrassment, hissing and not knowing what to say.

"The concubine is fine." Wu Meiniang gently grabbed Li Zhi's arm, rubbed it lightly with her breast, lowered her head, and said softly: "Your Highness, this matter may not be good, Your Highness still needs to prepare early, Mei Niang thinks that Xiao Liangdi is going, and Xiao Zhongshu is afraid that it is coming." ”

"Ah......" Li Zhi is most afraid of Comrade Xiao this "bold", at this time, when he heard that Comrade Xiao was coming, he was frightened, his mouth opened wide, and he looked at Wu Meiniang dumbfounded, and the whole person was like a fool......
