Chapter Ninety-Eight: Chair Suspicion (Part II)
The scene was not very good-looking, and Queen Meng stepped out of the palace.
Yao Huan turned his gaze and looked at Empress Meng.
Empress Meng should be in her early twenties this year.
There is a way, there is no ugly girl in eighteen, the queen in front of her, at first glance, is not much different from the young lady on the street of Kaifeng City, because she is in her youth, and it can even be said that she has a bit of a girl's sense of beauty, and it is by no means the "ugly appearance" contained in the history of later generations.
It's just that, compared with Liu Jieyu's peony-like gorgeous appearance, Queen Meng is more like Chunlan Stem, and the first thing she shows is a shallow and quiet temperament, rather than a sultry beauty.
Queen Meng took the three-year-old princess by the hand, walked to Liu Jieyu's side, and stood still for a moment.
She, for this favorite concubine who doesn't even have a concubine, has set aside enough time to react.
But he didn't wait for the other party's courtesy.
Empress Meng then bowed her head and asked her daughter in a soft voice: "Look, is it a brother or a sister in Mrs. Liu's belly?" ”
The little princess bit her fingers, glanced curiously at Liu Jieyu's belly that had not yet bulged, and said in a childish voice: "It's a cat." ”
Liu Jieyu's face changed: "What did Emperor Ji say?" ”
The little princess was so frightened by her that she went to her mother's side, but after a moment of fright, she was no longer afraid, only took a pair of big round eyes and stared at Liu Jieyu.
Empress Meng met Liu Jieyu's gaze and said gently: "Liu Jieyu is not strange, the emperor is a doll in the end, and she says something inconsequential." A few days ago, she also asked me if I could give her a big cat. ”
"Poof", Chen Ying'er on the side chuckled.
Liu Jieyu was even more angry - I just cleaned up those cats and beasts who cried wolf yesterday, and now you can't do without the word "cat" in three sentences, and you also pull the dragon fetus in my belly, what is it if it doesn't touch my moldy head.
However, the words of the queen's mother and daughter, as ordinary as they sound, are indeed not strange and sharp, how can Liu Jieyu be bold and bloody in reply.
She secretly pinched the handle of the chair, suddenly turned her mind, and asked Chen Ying'er: "By the way, you just competed with this chair, what's the matter?" I can't sit on this chair? ”
Chen Ying'er frowned, lowered her head, and leaned towards Queen Meng.
Empress Meng quickly glanced at the chamberlains and maidservants in the courtyard, regardless of the people in her palace, even among the people brought by Liu Jieyu, there were a few little maids from the little yellow door with a look of surprise, as if they didn't dare to believe that their master was so blatantly arrogant.
Queen Meng was silent, but she still said in an unhurried tone: "Liu Jieyu thinks it's a bad thing, people are easy to be tired, so it's okay to sit first." ”
While talking, the servants and maids in the Renming Hall moved out more than a dozen chairs and desks. In the meantime, there were three young women with large sleeves in brocade robes, wearing shawls, and huzhu on their faces, and there were also maidservants and maidservants behind them, who thought to be the harem of the Son of Heaven.
When they saluted Empress Meng and Liu Jieyu, no matter how plastic their smiles were, when they sat down and saw the chair Liu Jieyu was sitting on, they were all fake black question mark faces.
The cinnamon fragrance is bursting, refreshing, but the atmosphere in the courtyard is very delicate, everyone tacitly, all look at the palace door, a gesture of greeting the queen mother and the official family.
Suddenly, a little chamberlain in a green robe and black gauze crown sang outside the door: "Xiang the Queen Mother has arrived, and the official family has arrived." ”
All the concubines, including Liu Jieyu, also got up suddenly, took a few steps forward, held their heads high, and the corners of their mouths began to be professionally upturned, ready to drive.
Yao Huan snorted violently.
She was still carrying her shoulders and bent her upper body slightly, but this position was just right for her to stare at the phoenix chair smoothly.
If today is really the day when the incident recorded in the history books of later generations happened, then the time has come to answer her confusion!
According to the record of "Song History* Concubine", Liu Jieyu once greeted the Queen Mother Xiang with Queen Meng, she had to sit on the only phoenix chair, and the queen let her sit, but when Liu Jieyu got up to greet the Queen Mother, a servant moved the chair, Jieyu didn't know, and when she was about to sit down, she fell to the ground.
When Yao Huan read this historical record in the past, he was very confused.
After the concubines greet the queen mother, they also have to sit down again, what are the servants going to do to move chairs?
Besides, if you want to remove the chair, why only remove Liu Jieyu's chair?
Even if Liu Jieyu's arrogance provoked the anger of the public, and someone instructed the servants and maids to do so, how could they be so blatantly executed.
This is no different from directly pounced and beaten.
What servant is so desperate?
This history is completely unreasonable.
Yao Huan stared at the vermilion lacquer chair behind Liu Jieyu's buttocks, she wanted to see who the servant who did not hesitate to be a martyr and was angry for the harem was.
Suddenly, she saw a shocking scene!
Empress!
It turned out to be Queen Meng!
Empress Meng hesitated in her steps, suddenly froze, glanced sideways at the phoenix chair, and suddenly stretched out her hand and pulled the phoenix chair to her side.
Yao Huan could feel his mouth open wide.
......
Under the glittering autumn sun, the seventh emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, today's son, eighteen-year-old Zhao Xu, accompanied the Empress Dowager Xiang into the walk-in.
In order to take care of the rhythm of his mother-in-law's actions, Zhao Xu's pace was deliberately slow.
But this could not hide his vigor at all.
He is at the age of a man's most majestic and heroic, and he has been in charge of the empire for two years, and even if he only wears a tooth-white regular robe and a black gauze crown with soft feet, his whole body still exudes a high-eyed and majestic style.
Yao Huan, who was staring at Empress Meng, was confused, and he could hear the courtyard calling "official" one after another, and he couldn't help but raise his eyes and look at Zhao Xu through the shoulders of the tall and short concubines.
Unexpectedly, before she had time to focus her eyes, Liu Jieyu, who got up and walked forward first, suddenly cried out in pain: "Hey, hey......"
Liu Jieyu moaned while swaying her body, but she actually held her stomach and stepped back, as if she wanted to put her body back into the phoenix chair.
But behind her, there are no more chairs!
At this moment, no one in the crowd behind Liu Jieyu reacted faster than Yao Huan, who had been paying attention to the situation.
It's just a flick of his fingers, Yao Huan didn't have time to think about it, but as if out of a reaction of knowing that the ball was going to fall, so he reached out to catch it, and rushed forward.
Liu Jieyu had no eyes behind her, how could she know how to brake, but her body was still pressed down without restraint.
Yao Huan had already reached Liu Jieyu's body, but because of the suddenness of the incident, she almost subconsciously made a move, where did she have time to adjust her movements to the best measure.
Yao welcomed Liu Jieyu's toppling momentum, and without thinking about it, he used his hands to support her shoulders, but was bumped by Liu Jieyu, lost his center of gravity in an instant, and fell to the ground with Liu Jieyu.
To be more precise, only Yao Huan fell to the ground, and Liu Jieyu fell on Yao Huan's chest and abdomen.
