Chapter 284: Choosing a Concubine
"Then what do I want you for?" Lu Yuanli's voice was cold, Mingyue trembled and didn't dare to speak, and the eunuch immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
"Your Majesty, the slave only went out for a short while, and when she came back, she really didn't expect her to do such a thing, you punish the slave ......"
Lu Yuanli's gaze swept over her, his heart was very irritable, and he walked past her: "Let people clean up here, and don't allow her to come near the imperial study again." ”
"Yes!" said the eunuch, as if he had been granted amnesty.
This Mingyue has hurt him a lot several times, and he has had the idea of directly disposing of people, but he is afraid that the emperor will think of her one day, and it will be difficult to do it then.
But after today, even if the emperor thinks of her again, he will not want to see her again.
Mingyue was uncomfortable, and she was about to cry when she was aggrieved, and the eunuch hurriedly asked someone to cover her mouth: "If you make trouble again, the miscellaneous family's head will not be saved." ”
"Since you came, you have caused a lot of trouble to the miscellaneous family, and the miscellaneous family has long hated your existence, if you are honest, how can there be so many things, the emperor will already be merciful if he does not punish you......"
Mingyue didn't want the guards to touch her, so she broke free from their shackles, ran to the eunuch and asked, "Gonggong Li, I heard from the people in the palace that you are the longest with the emperor, why do you think the emperor doesn't like me?"
The eunuch glanced at her, although he didn't like it, but he didn't ignore her, if she was really liked by the emperor in the future, she would have many ways back.
The eunuch cleared his throat, pointed at her and scolded: "How can you and I figure out the emperor's thoughts? If you don't like you, there must be a reason for disliking, and the emperor has a long-cherished ......."
Mingyue was stunned when she heard this, and just wanted to ask who the person was, but before she could speak, she saw that the eunuch was gone, so she hurriedly chased after him and gave him all her monthly rules.
"Thank you father-in-law for mentioning a point or two, please be clearer. ”
The eunuch chuckled, she had learned wisely this time, and knew how to solve problems with silver, but there were some things that could not be solved with silver alone.
Sometimes the words are too transparent, but it will lead to death, so you have to be confused.
"There is a portrait in the emperor's study, which is made by himself, and the miscellaneous family is also among rabbits. I accidentally saw it once, but I couldn't see the face of the person on it clearly. ”
The eunuch retracted his gaze and stuffed the silver into his sleeve: "What to do with the rest, you can think about it yourself, don't say that the miscellaneous family told you." ”
"Yes. Mingyue responded happily.
But after agreeing, she began to worry again, after experiencing today's events, how could Lu Yuanli still allow her to enter the imperial study?
But fortunately, there is a clue, not to ask her to look for it like a headless fly, even if she can't be his queen, it would be good to have a place to stay by his side.
Mingyue returned to the house, the place where she lived was the same as those palace maids, it was difficult to find medicine for injuries, and she couldn't see the imperial doctor, so she had to use cold water by herself, and she didn't dare to let them know.
But the more she tried to cover it up, the more the palace maids wanted to know, pushed them away roughly, and glared at her as soon as they came in.
"What are you doing when you close the door in broad daylight, and you want to do something unseemly?"
"No, it's not ......" Mingyue shook her head hesitantly, putting the clothes on her arms back.
One of the palace maids noticed her movements, deliberately lifted her clothes, and saw Bai Nen's jealousy being burned: "What's wrong with you?
"No, let go!" Mingyue began to struggle, and several palace maids laughed out loud.
"What the hell is going on, let us know, we care about you. That being said, they didn't care in the slightest.
"If it weren't for the emperor, then who else could it be? The emperor is of noble birth, and it's normal to look down on us like this, you can't be the master, and you don't need to hide it. ”
Mingyue heard some contempt in their tones, she came from a remote place and had never seen the prosperity of Shangjing, so she naturally seemed different from them and out of place.
She gritted her teeth, shook off the man's hand, and put her clothes back: "I accidentally burned it myself, I don't want the emperor to know." ”
As soon as these words came out, several palace maids didn't know whether to believe it or not, and asked: "Why don't you let the emperor know? Doesn't this just make the emperor feel sorry for you?"
She didn't speak, and suddenly remembered another voice: "It must be that she is clumsy, afraid of being disliked by the emperor......"
There was laughter behind her, Mingyue couldn't stand the ridicule, and ran out with red eyes, it was she herself who said this, if they knew, what should she do?
Whether she wants to be the master or not, she has no way back, she can only move forward step by step.
"Hey, I heard that there is a young lady in the city who was stunned by drugs, and woke up in the alley the next day, the person is still alive, but the innocence is gone......"
"What kind of medicine is so scary?"
"What kind of medicine else can it be?***, the trick that Hualou women are used to. ”
Ming heard a few palace maids talking about this, and walked quickly with a red face, but he was thinking in his heart, is there really this kind of medicine?
In the Imperial Study.
After Prime Minister Liu finished his affairs, he still stood where he was and didn't leave, Lu Yuanli raised his eyes, frowned and asked, "Prime Minister still has something to say?"
"The emperor is now sixteen, and it is time to consider filling the harem, the courtiers have mentioned it several times, but you have rejected it, this is not a trivial matter. ”
Lu Yuanli shook his head unhappily, with a resolute attitude: "Since you know that I refused, then you should also know, and again, I will still refuse." ”
"I don't want to worry about this now, the Prime Minister's worries are also superfluous, if there is nothing to do, then step aside. ”
"Your Majesty!"
"I don't want to hear it anymore!" Lu Yuanli raised his voice, his face almost impatient.
Prime Minister Liu had no choice but to withdraw, and before leaving, she met the bright moon outside the imperial study, she lowered her head, and Prime Minister Liu left without taking a second look.
Father-in-law Li came over at this time, Mingyue remembered what she had just heard, but she didn't understand, so she simply asked, "Father-in-law, do you know what's going on?"
"Prime Minister Liu Cheng wants the emperor to choose a concubine, but the emperor doesn't have these ideas yet," Gonggong Li didn't say much to her, "Come on, don't think about it, be careful to annoy the emperor." ”
Mingyue responded obediently, thinking that she had really started to choose a concubine, would that be beneficial or disadvantageous to herself? Lu Yuanli couldn't choose someone he liked, would he be able to see himself?
When Prime Minister Liu returned to the house, he was so angry that he dropped everything he could fall, originally he wanted to take the opportunity of choosing a concubine to send his daughter to the palace, but Lu Yuanli didn't give him this opportunity at all.
As an emperor, what is wrong with choosing a concubine?
"Father, how are you preparing?" Liu Ruyan asked excitedly when she learned that he was back.
Although she has never seen the appearance of the emperor, it is rumored that he is a good-looking woman, and women are eager for the phoenix position, and this kind of glory makes her irresistible.
Prime Minister Liu Cheng was upset, and when she asked him like this, he almost lost his temper: "The emperor has no intention of choosing a concubine, and it is useless for you to ask me." ”
This tone is not good, Liu Ruyan's smile is a little far-fetched, and Prime Minister Liu Cheng said again: "I will think of another way to send you into the palace." ”
"Yes!" Liu Ruyan happily agreed.
