Chapter 45: The Summer Resort's Nine Seasons Palace (1)
?
Jiucheng Palace is located in Tiantai Mountain, north of Dushui. It is also surrounded by green hills, so the scenery is particularly beautiful and bright. The outer city has built a thousand-meter-long city wall on the north bank of Dushui, and the inner city is centered on Tiantai Mountain, and the crown mountain resists the temple, and the absolute gully is the pool; The south bank of Dushui is built with high earth steps, the pavilion is built on the steps, the north of the pavilion is built to Dushui, and the bridge on the water leads directly to the palace. The top of Tiantai Mountain is built with five rooms and three deep halls, and the long corridor in front of the hall in the north-south direction, the herringbone vault, stretches and turns. There are two ques at the front end of the main hall, and the proportions are harmonious. There is also a ladder to the main hall in the southeast corner of the rooftop, and there are temples built around it, and the water under the Ping Mountain is a lake, which is called the West Sea.
The emperor lived in the main hall of the Great Treasure Palace, I lived in the Danxiao Hall on the side, the concubine lived in the Xianheng Palace, the concubine lived in the Yurong Palace, the concubine lived in the Paiyun Palace, and the other nine concubines each chose a pavilion to live in, but they were far away from the holy car.
When the car drove into Tiantai Mountain, he already felt the coolness on his face, and the deeper he went, he felt that the clothes on his body were thin, and when he entered the Danxiao Palace, he felt refreshed and fragrant everywhere.
As soon as it was settled, Cao Hong came over and said: "Niangniang will rest for a while, and the emperor will hold a banquet in Qionghuatai at noon, and invite Niangniang to go with the emperor at that time." ”
I said I knew, I didn't need to rest, I just asked someone to tidy up my room, burn incense, take advantage of the unpreparedness, and pick some nine incense sticks to go in. It's not a lot of portions, but I want it to work.
Seeing that the time was about the same, he changed into a crimson large-sleeved shirt, a crimson skirt, a gold thread shawl, and only a "purple gold plate" on the high bun. He first went to the Dabao Hall to see the emperor, and when he saw my outfit, he said: "It's getting more and more 'glamorous'." ”
I pursed my lips and smiled, and said, "The big red 'color' can show your identity!"
He also changed into a vermilion purple 'jade' belt regular clothes, and the two of us went to the Qiong 'flower' platform together, and this time it was all over. I glanced at the concubine and said, "The concubine is here too." ”
Concubine Zheng Guifei was neither humble nor arrogant: "Yes, Niangniang." ”
With a smile on my face, I swept around, and only after the emperor said that he was not polite and he sat down, I sat next to him. In addition to the concubine this time, the husband and wife of Langya County were also there. It was probably because the emperor was afraid that the world would say that he was unkind-the younger brother who fought with him was almost killed by him, and the younger brother who didn't fight with him was demoted to Jiannan Dao, if he didn't treat the remaining younger brother well, the officials were afraid that they would be verbose again.
But as long as the compassion is there, I don't feel at ease!
I always felt like his gaze would fall on me, intentionally or unintentionally.
Fortunately, the meal didn't take too long, and I immediately got up to say goodbye after it was over, and Qiheng came to see me and asked me, "Why do you look sullen, are you tired?"
I said, "Can I not participate in such a small banquet in the future?"
He laughed, "If you don't participate, you'll feel more bored." ”
I was silent for a long time and said, "In the past, I also came like this, and I won't expect higher just because I became a queen. ”
He nodded: "Okay, it's up to you to decide the banquet in the future." However, in the afternoon, the second child is going to fight 'chickens', do you want to go and see them?"
I still shook my head and said no, maybe I was really tired and wanted to take a break.
He didn't force it, and in the afternoon he went to see the fighting '', and I stayed in the Danxiao Hall for a nap.
I woke up after sleeping for a while, and was dressing up, when 'Chun' Fen walked in and said in my ear: "Niangniang, the king of the county wants to see you." ”
My heart trembled and I whispered, "At this time?"
'Spring' looked at me in the mirror and said, "If the mother doesn't want to see him, the slave will go back to him, in fact, the mother is still short in the future, and it is not appropriate to take risks." ”
If you don't have autonomy at this time, I'm afraid that you won't be able to meet the people you want to see at will in the future.
"I'll go. "I didn't say much, I asked the 'spring equinox' to arrange, and the 'spring' sighed and had to be deployed.
Looking at the red palace 'flower' on my head, I took it down and said: "Don't want this, it's too eye-catching, let's change to a 'jade' hairpin!" ”
Gu Yu looked at me in surprise, probably thinking that I was very different from the morning, right? I didn't say much to her, just let her do it.
I changed my clothes and helped everyone around me find an errand to get out, and then I went away with the 'spring equinox'.
A long winding corridor led to a corner blocked by walls on three sides, where Qi Min was waiting, dressed in his regular clothes with narrow sleeves, and nodded at the 'equinox' when he saw me coming, and the 'equinox' stepped back a few steps away with his back to us.
"What's the matter?" I asked in a low voice, looking down at him.
"Why you?" he asked.
I was stunned, why should I be the empress? This is the emperor's will, not for me to decide.
I stubbornly raised my head, glared at him and asked, "Why can't it be me? Aren't I a better candidate than the puppets you arranged?"
He stepped forward and said to me, "Do you know that you are in a very dangerous situation! You are too close to him!"
"The closer you get to him, the more dangerous it is, doesn't it?"
He looked at me fixedly, and suddenly stretched out his hand to 'touch' my cheek, and sighed: "I'm afraid that I will hurt you as soon as I make a move, but I'm afraid that others will make a move before me, and then I won't even have a chance to protect you." ”
I sighed and said, "Do you know why he made me his queen, for I have no family and no heirs......
"No," he interrupted me faintly, "because he likes you, and because of that, I'm going crazy." ”
I straightened my face: "Don't talk nonsense! How can the emperor be easily emotional!" This is what Qi Heng said to me personally, he will not love me.
"The emperor is also a human being, besides, he is a normal man. Enlightenment's eyes burned, and I was a little feverish when he saw it.
He gently put his hand on my heart and asked, "Here, am I still here?"
I almost cried, and nodded vigorously: "Yes, all the time." ”
He smiled with relief and said, "That's good." ”
His heart ached again, and he asked "spirit" and asked, "Tell me, what kind of opportunity are you waiting for?"
He was silent, his expression was very solemn, and finally he said to me: "I am waiting for the second prince to ascend the throne." ”
I was shocked, he was waiting for Qiheng to die! My heart was pounding, and I still said jokingly with a smile: "Then you have to wait, his body is as strong as a cow, and he is not sick or sick, maybe he will live longer than me." ”
He looked at me without saying a word, and I suddenly felt chills all over my body, my fingertips trembled, and cold sweat broke out from my back. Why did he 'intervene' in the future, I finally understood!
"No!" I whispered, "Are you crazy!"
