Chapter 114: Defeat
The Empress Dowager raised the back of her hand to sniff the smell, and looked at the light carefully for a long time, her face was very satisfied, and she said:
"You girl is a little knowledgeable, not to mention the dexterity in your hands, just the mind of these objects, tsk, I don't know who has this blessing to be our family's horse."
Hit the little knowledgeable?
Li Gongling smiled in his heart, the Empress Dowager has been trapped in Yan'an Palace for twenty years, where have she seen Princess Jiahe playing small.
The love of the family is really strange on this day, just looking at the relationship between the two today, compared to the relatives and grandchildren of ordinary people, who would have imagined that these two people are not related by blood, and even the number of times the two meet today is counted with a slap?
"Imperial grandmother, look", Princess Jiahe put her face in front of the Empress Dowager, "I have used this thing for a few days, if a top beauty like the imperial grandmother uses it, I am afraid that the posture will be more beautiful?" My granddaughter is embarrassed to stand with you. ”
The two of them talked about how to take care of their skin and face for a long time, and the Empress Dowager gradually showed some fatigue on her face, and Princess Jiahe got up obediently and said:
"My granddaughter will go back and make a few more boxes of such dough, and I will send a few boxes to Sister Qiu and Sister Nuanqing tomorrow."
As he spoke, he put his arm around the Empress Dowager and said crookedly:
"Grandmother, don't be annoyed with your granddaughter, your granddaughter will come to your palace often in the future."
The Empress Dowager also smiled lovingly and patted the girl's back, "I'm afraid you won't come, but don't dislike the old woman and the clingy talent." ”
Li Gongling personally held Princess Jiahe's big red gorilla felt feather satin cloak, and sent her group to the top of the gate of Funing Palace.
As soon as he stepped into the warm pavilion, he heard the voice of the Empress Dowager Qingling asking:
"You said that Zhang Ping went to see Concubine Yi alone last night?"
Li Gongling looked upright, nodded and replied:
"Yes."
"You say, will this Concubine Yi also be the person she left behind back then?"
Who was she back then?
Li Gongling seemed to remember something disturbing, her always calm and steady face was a little alarmed, and she bowed apologetically:
"The Empress Dowager forgives her sins, and the maid will go to investigate."
The Empress Dowager shook her hand, "Don't worry, we haven't been in the palace for twenty years, and it will take time to know everything", two pear vortices appeared on the corners of her lips, "If you don't have enough manpower, you can ask Wan Guards for help, he has less experience, but at least he is loyal and reliable." ”
"Judging from the maidservant, this Princess Jiahe seems to be too clever and ingenious in front of you, could it be that it was also instructed by Concubine Yi?"
remembered that Princess Jiahe's biological mother was Concubine Yi, and the smile that had just appeared on the corner of the Empress Dowager's mouth disappeared.
"Whether it's right or not, it's always right to be careful", a cold light flashed in her eyes, "No matter who it is, don't think about the mourning family and the emperor." ”
Princess Jiahe is still living in the harem because she is not married.
At this time, she and her henchman maid walked alone through the afternoon palace alley in the early winter snow, and the two were talking about something one after the other.
"It's hard to be a princess."
The maid was full of apology and heartache, she used to be a noble and honorable golden branch and jade leaf, the pearl of the first emperor's palm, but now she is only like a guest under the fence in this palace.
"Xiao Guan, you think too much, I don't think it's too embarrassing."
Princess Jiahe's face was calm and unwavering, and she was like two people with the delicate and pleasing girl in the Funing Palace.
She has two henchmen and maids, and her names were also chosen by herself when she was four years old, named Zheng Peng and Xiao Guan.
Her favorite thing is not to find ancient recipes to concoct spices and rouge, she loves to ride horses and archery, and at the age of four she read the collection of Wang Maha's writings, and she was particularly fascinated by this poem.
Zheng Peng out of Hanse, Xiao Guan waited for riding, which is the origin of the names of her two maids.
"Although she is a living person to me, I know that she cares about Brother Zheng very much, and Brother Zheng will not harm me, and neither will she."
The princess's words were very brief, but Xiao Guan had already understood the meaning of the back.
The princess has a good relationship with the emperor, and she can also try her best to please the emperor's grandmother.
"What are my mother and I in this palace right now?"
Princess Jiahe smiled miserably, "It's just a snort, how can the princess be delicate?" When it is not peaceful, it will be sent out of Fanbang and relatives. ”
Xiao Guan lowered his head silently, for the situation in front of her, the princess could see it more clearly than her, and she could think more openly, but looking up to people and snorting, for a princess, it was really too bitter and unbearable.
"Huh", Princess Jiahe stretched out her hand to block Xiao Guan and looked at the alley in the distance, "Didn't the emperor's brother go to the Wei Mansion?" Coming back so early? ”
Xiao Guan also looked up into the distance, at the end of the red wall and tiles, it was the emperor's daily honor guard slowly passing by.
"Are you going to the Queen Mother?"
*****************
In recent years, after more than half a year of calm and recuperation, there has been a sense of peace in the streets and alleys of Kyoto.
Even the Son of Heaven who lives in the palace is occasionally tainted by the joy of these commoners, and the emperor always has a smile on his eyebrows and eyes, but today is different.
"Your Majesty", Qiao Gongshan was one step behind the emperor, and replied in a low voice:
"Kuang Li just delivered the news from there, Zhang Ping went to see Concubine Yi last night."
The emperor's furrowed brows knotted on his forehead, "Concubine Yi? Zhang ping? ”
The twists and turns in the harem are really surprising everywhere.
"Also", Qiao Gongshan took a small step to shorten the distance between him and the emperor, and his voice was as light as a gnat:
"Kuang Li also said that not only are we paying attention to Zhang Ping's movements, but he also saw Li Gongling of Funing Palace last night."
"Have you found out, Missara", the emperor grinned, "The imperial grandmother hates King Yanling and Zhang Ping more than I do. ”
His blood grandmother, a grandmother who had never met in her life for more than ten years, was also a person with secrets.
"It is normal for the Empress Dowager to pay attention to Zhang Ping's movements, after all, the only person she can rely on now is the emperor, and she will not like anyone who is not good to the emperor."
Qiao Gongshan pondered the words and replied cautiously.
But he also knew very well in his heart that although they were two ancestors and grandchildren, the emperor's affection for her was not even as good as that of Mrs. Wei.
Since the Empress Dowager can pay so much attention to Zhang Ping's spying, she naturally has a suspicion of watching the emperor behind her back, and this discovery is not a pleasant thing for the emperor after all.
"You're right," the Emperor smiled kindly, but there was no smile in his eyes, "at least for now, it seems that my grandmother and I are in a prosperous relationship, and she will not do anything bad to me." ”
Qiao Gongshan didn't dare to answer this, and knew that he was not happy today because of Lin Yiqiu's matter, so he had to interrupt:
"The emperor and Lord Wei joined forces, and sure enough, any problem was solved. What kind of empty city plan, golden cicada out of its shell, and Wei Wei to save Zhao Ya are such good strategies sung in the play, how can the villain never think of it. ”
Qiao Gongshan refers to the plan used by the emperor and Wei Chengye last night to secretly escort Qian Shi to the Southwest Route Army, but let Lu Xiang's patrol battalion set up suspicious soldiers around the Wei Mansion to attract opponents.
The emperor laughed when he heard him speak indecently.
"Companion, don't talk nonsense", he restrained his smile a little, "This reality is much more difficult than singing in the play." ”
But it was rare for him and Cheng Ye to join forces to lure the opponent into the trap and win a big victory, and he was still happy in his heart.
The only failure was that the last remaining alive escaped, and the rest were either killed or killed by biting the poison as soon as they were captured.
