Chapter 71: The King of Langya (2)
?
The title of the king of Langya County was established, and the queen proposed to hold a banquet for him to celebrate, and the emperor did not object, but he had to wait until the king of Langya County recovered from his injury, and the date of the banquet was set two months later, and the venue was set in the Hanliang Hall near Penglai Pond in the north.
I begged the emperor to release Concubine Ya before the banquet, Concubine Ya originally came back from the capital and was not grounded, but the original plan was 'disrupted', we returned to Beijing in advance, so Concubine Ya was grounded, it was only a few days, I begged the emperor like this, he was naturally not very happy, and said: "Concubine Ya hurt people after all, if you let her out like this, it will not teach her enough lessons!"
Although I knew that Concubine Ya was wronged, I could only slowly persuade: "Concubine Ya is also an unintentional mistake, not to mention that Bai Baolin's dragon fetus is not damaged, and now Bai Baolin is still accompanying Du An, even if Concubine Ya is reckless, she will not hurt her again, besides, this time it is to celebrate the king of Langya County, everyone participates, without Concubine Ya, it can't be called 'all four corners'!"
Qi Heng smiled: "Where did you learn these words, it's better to just say that you and Concubine Ya are 'friendly', and I will be approved!"
I deliberately pursed my lips and said, "Okay, Your Majesty, the concubine and Concubine Ya have a good relationship, so please ask the emperor to lift her grounding in the face of the concubine!"
Qi Heng smiled, kissed my pursed 'lips', and said, "Okay, you are!"
I was busy smiling and thanking him, giving Jiang Shouquan a 'look' and asking him to arrange it.
The next day, I went to visit Concubine Ya with Concubine He, and Concubine He said to me: "Do you know that the queen of this banquet has a deep meaning!"
I was stunned, shook my head and said, "What a deep meaning!"
A sneer flew on the side of Concubine He's lips, and said: "As soon as the king of Langya County was crowned king, the queen was impatient to win him over, hum, it's a pity that the credit for this king lies with you, so the queen can only start from elsewhere!"
I pressed my hand to my heart and said lightly: "My sister doesn't understand, please make it clear!"
She said: "The queen made a statement to the emperor, saying that since the king of Langya County has been crowned king, then it is not far to open the mansion and build a house, when the palace is completed, it is natural to need a 'female' master, the king of Langya County is nineteen years old, and next year is the year of the weak crown, it is long overdue to discuss marriage, they are not only the monarch of the king of Langya County, but also his brother and sister-in-law, as the saying goes, the eldest brother is like a father, the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, and the marriage of the king of Langya County should be 'bothered' by them!"
She told this eloquently, as if she had seen it with her own eyes, and heard with her own ears how the queen made a statement to the emperor, and I listened to it, and I felt more and more sour in my heart.
Concubine He said: "The queen also said that the emperor has every opportunity, and there is no need to 'worry' about these things, just 'hand' it over to the queen, and also said that she has a distant niece 'daughter', which happened to be in time this year, hum, you say, is she playing this abacus well!"
I was speechless for a long time, and then said, "It's understandable for the queen to say this!"
Concubine He sneered: "This is so confusing, in the past, when the king of Langya was still the inconspicuous fifteenth king, she didn't think about her distant niece 'daughter', but now that people are crowned kings, I think about it, but how can I remember that the queen's mother family has long been defeated, and I don't know how far away this distant niece 'daughter' is!"
I felt uncomfortable in my 'chest' with no clear meaning, and I didn't listen carefully to her words, but said: "No one else can do anything about this, after all...... The king of Langya can only rely on the emperor!"
Concubine He looked at me and said, "Relying on the emperor and relying on the queen are two different things!"
I shook my head helplessly, and said with a wry smile: "Sister Hefei, in fact, even if the fifteenth prince is named the king of Langya County, so what, he has no military merits, and he has no family support, so what's the point of wooing him, so I really don't understand what the queen means by this move, and I don't understand why my sister is so nervous!"
Concubine He was stunned for a moment, and then said: "First the prince of the county, then the prince, and he can also open a mansion in the capital, and the prince who stays in the capital is the only one except for the Eight Sages King, once he ...... At that time, these two people were the ones who could speak among the princes!"
Now, it was my turn to be stunned, I didn't expect that what she and the queen were thinking about was the battle for the throne of the emperor a hundred years later, I sighed, lowered my eyelids and said: "I still don't understand these things, let's go and see Concubine Ya, don't just go out and make trouble as soon as you release it!"
Concubine He first looked at me and shook her head as if she hated iron, and then seemed to think of something, so she said happily: "Okay, let's go to Chengxiang Palace!"
I guess she probably felt that I was too apolitically sensitive when it came to the storage of the position, so she was relieved.
When they arrived at the Chengxiang Palace, they didn't see Concubine Ya, and the little eunuch said that Concubine Ya went to the northwest corner.
Concubine He and I glanced at each other, in the northwest corner, there were not any favored concubines living there, and Concubine He suddenly said: "Feng's, Feng's lives there!"
"Oh, let's get over there. "I'll stomp my feet, this concubine, won't be so breathless.
When I arrived not far from the Shicui Palace, I heard Concubine Ya's angry scolding: "You slut, I have been grounded, I don't teach you a good lesson today, I am not from the grassland." Then I heard a crisp "pop".
Concubine and I both quickened our pace, and when we got closer, Concubine Ya was standing there proudly, in front of her was Feng Shi who was kneeling on the ground and crying, Feng's hair bun was crooked to one side, covering half of his face with one hand, but the tearful posture was not only half embarrassed, but also pitiful no matter how he looked at it, there was a kind of poignant.
But such a gesture stabbed Yafei's eyes even more, Yafei raised her hand again, I hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed her, and said, "What are you doing!"
Concubine Ya frowned and said, "Don't stop me, I'm going to teach this slut a good lesson today!"
Concubine He reprimanded with a calm face: "Concubine Ya, what are you doing, do you still have any bearing!"
Concubine Ya shouted: "I have no bearing, if I don't have bearing, I should use a whip to 'whip' her like on the grassland!"
"Alright. I looked at her urgently, and scolded her in a low voice, "You want to clean her up, it's not this time, and besides, it's still in this place, what kind of system!"
Concubine Ya let go angrily and said hatefully: "Okay, I will spare you for the time being, but I want to warn you, you have to be careful when you see this palace in the future, otherwise...... Don't blame me for using a whip next time!"
I breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Did you go to thank the emperor and queen?"
Concubine Ya pouted: "I'll go now!"
Seeing her leave angrily, I shook my head helplessly, and the Feng family behind me cried and thanked us, and I didn't say anything to her again, and went back together, and the concubine sighed: "Look, in this palace, those who are straightforward and quick are easy to be used as knives, and this Feng family ...... Thanks to our emperor's wisdom and martial arts, otherwise, which man can stand the appearance of this pear 'flower' with rain!"
I covered my sleeves and smiled lowly, thinking to myself what this had to do with the man's wisdom and martial arts, and only said: "This soft and weak appearance, I really feel pitiful!"
Concubine He was noncommittal and smiled.
