Chapter 106: Gong Dou
"The courtiers don't dare, the courtiers just don't choose their words for a while, and they have no intention of challenging the royal majesty." An Xingchen immediately buried his head when he heard this, he was really a little scared at the moment, the eighth princess's mother was a concubine, although she was favored, she was also a person with no real power.
The queen is different, although she is horizontal, she is grabbed by the queen in this harem, and she can't go to the sky.
"Bengong has been listening to this for a while, and Bengong wants to ask Miss An, do you think that Bengong will kill you in this harem, will your grandfather come over and kill Bengong to avenge you, or will he rebel against my Da Zhou? Well? The queen raised her eyebrows, with a hint of cruelty in her tone.
The courtiers didn't dare, the courtiers just lost their words for a while, and asked the queen to spare her life. The grandfather is dedicated to the Great Zhou, and there is no thought that is unfavorable to the Great Zhou, and the queen is also invited to take a clear look! An Xingchen's face was already pale, no matter how powerful his grandfather was, at this moment, far water could not save the near fire.
And as soon as the hat of this kind of rebellion is buttoned up, not only the grandfather's family, but I am afraid that Anfu will also be implicated. And there is nothing he can do but bow down and ask for forgiveness.
The queen condescendingly glanced at An Xingchen, who was pale, and then glanced at the eighth princess standing beside her, laughed again, and said softly, "That's it, it's just your little daughter's family directly fighting, this palace won't scare you, get up quickly." β
The queen lifted it high like this, and then gently put it down, just to embarrass the eighth princess. Although the eighth princess called her "queen mother", it didn't come out of her belly after all. Sure enough, when the eighth princess heard the queen's words, her face was extremely ugly.
"Sister, what do you mean by this? Xi Rui called you a mother, do you see her being bullied like this? Concubine Shu had already arrived at the Imperial Garden at this time, and as soon as she heard that her daughter was being bullied, she hurried over, and the silk handkerchief in her hand was soaked, and she didn't know how many times she wiped the sweat beads on her face.
"What my sister said was just a joke between my daughter's family, how could it be a bully? Sister, you didn't know the situation when you first came, but this palace heard this Miss An say that it was the eighth princess who shamelessly wanted to hook up with her fiancΓ©, so she was so open-mouthed. Speaking of which, my sister should really discipline these eight princesses well, and I don't know who to learn from at a young age, so I want to seduce other people's men. A dignified princess of a country, is it possible that she will really be a concubine like her mother in the future? The queen's tone was full of love, but her eyes stared at Concubine Shu coldly, as if to say that what kind of mother has what kind of daughter.
"Xuanji Gongzi is not her future husband!" The eighth princess didn't hear the queen's sarcasm, but she heard that the queen thought that the Xuanji prince was An Xingchen's husband, and immediately shouted urgently, "The Xuanji prince can't look down on her, she is a toad who wants to eat swan meat!" β
Concubine Shu was choked by this concubine and couldn't speak, seeing that her daughter was still so angry, her heart was full of anger, but she could only whisper, "What my sister taught me is that my sister will take the eighth princess back to teach well." β
After speaking, Concubine Shu took the hand of the eighth princess to leave, and the eighth princess struggled for a long time, as if she wanted to say something, but looking at her mother's iron-blue face, she didn't dare to touch her head again, so she could only bow her head and follow with her head down.
"Today's imperial garden is very cool, and the palace wants to eat in this imperial garden." The queen raised her left hand slightly, and immediately an old lady stepped forward to support her, and the queen continued, "But this old bone in this palace is only afraid that it will not be able to stand the afternoon sunshine, so Miss An will have lunch alone in this imperial garden." The palace remembers that at the winter solstice palace banquet last year, Miss An liked the health pot very much, and asked someone to give Miss An ten health pots, so that she could come to the palace banquet after eating. β
As soon as everyone heard it, they all understood that on the surface, it looked like a reward, but in fact, it forced An Xingchen to sit under the sun and eat hot pot in this July day, or ten pots, and he was not allowed to leave until he finished eating. Suddenly, everyone looked at An Xingchen's eyes, and they all had some sympathy.
No matter how delicious the health pot is, I am afraid that this way of eating will also take half a life.
After watching this big scene, Yan Zenyi also has a sense of unreality that he is in a TV series. Oh my God, is this Gong Dou? It's bloodless. Now I understand my mother's worries about herself, if she is allowed to live in this harem, she is estimated to be a cannon fodder who will be tortured to death after only three episodes.
Yan Zenyi glanced at Li Enchanting, who was kneeling by herself, her face was inexplicable, obviously the twists and turns in the middle made her look confused. Yan Zenyi wanted to explain it to her, but thinking about how sinister and ugly this deep palace as deep as the sea was, why bother to let her know about it? I just didn't say a word.
Everyone had already gotten up, and the lunch hour was approaching, and everyone walked to the Chengqian Palace again. There are also many young ladies who usually look down on An Xingchen, and they leaned over to sneer and sneer.
Yan Chanyi looked at the Shen brothers and sisters who were overflowing with pride, only to feel sick to their stomachs, and completely lost their interest in going to Chengqian Palace to eat, so he whispered in Fenghua's ear, "Fenghua, I pretend to be dizzy for a while, you help me find a palace maid and let her arrange a side hall for me to rest, and then let Tianyan pretend to lie there as me." When I am settled, you will go to Chengqian Palace again and tell me that my mother will say that I have some heat stroke and can't eat, so I found a side hall and slept down. β
Fenghua knew where Miss was going as soon as she heard it, so she smiled slyly and said, "Okay, Miss can go with confidence." β
Yan Zenyi saw Fenghua's naughty appearance, his face turned red instantly, and he added in a low voice, "If there are palace people guarding the side hall, don't separate the two of you, and if there is anything, you can separate one to inform me." β
Yan Zenyi now has some fear of this deep palace, and just wants to be low-key and low-key, cautious and cautious.
In this way, Yan Zenyi's eyes closed, leaning weakly on Fenghua's shoulder, Fenghua naturally shouted nervously, "Sister palace maid, sister palace maid, my young lady has some heat stroke, can you find a room to rest." β
The palace maid who was summoned hesitantly glanced at Yan Zen Yi who was leaning on Fenghua's shoulder, and asked with some embarrassment, "May I ask which young lady are you?" Do you need to send a doctor to come and have a look? β
"No need, I'm Yan Zen Yi of Yan Wangfu, I haven't been in good health since I was a child, I'm a little dizzy at this time, I'll be fine when I rest." Yan Zenyi deliberately spoke softly, sounding very weak.
When the palace maid heard that it was the daughter of the Yan Palace, she didn't dare to hesitate any longer, and directly took the master and servants to an uninhabited side hall not far behind the imperial garden.
"Thank you for this palace maid sister, you go and get busy, there are slaves and maids here to guard the young lady." Tian Yan saw that Fenghua and Li Enchanting brought the young lady in, so she wanted to break up this palace maid.
The palace maid hesitated and glanced inside, and saw that Miss Yan had been placed on the top, and hesitated and said, "This matter is big or small, and the slave maid still has to report to the queen." β
"Slave and sister, you can go together." When Fenghua heard this, he walked out of the room and said to the palace maid with a smile, "Miss is not feeling well, and the slave maid also needs to inform the princess." β
As he spoke, he pulled the palace maid away, and didn't forget to turn back to Tian Yan and said, "Tian Yan, you go inside and guard it, I'll just guard the door for a while." β
The palace maid did not doubt that he was following Fenghua, so she went to Chengqian Palace to report together.
After listening to the report, the queen was a little suspicious, but when she saw that the personal maid in Yan Zen clothes was also whispering to Princess Yan, looking at Princess Yan's slightly pale face and anxious appearance of wanting to get up, she also dispelled the doubts in her heart.
Yan Zen Yi on the other side had already changed into the clothes of the sweet maid at this moment, and jumped out of the window with Li Enchanting, because the gift prepared for Wei Youchen was still in the carriage, so he planned to sneak to the carriage at the gate of the palace to get the gift first.
The two of them bent their waists like thieves, but before they could get out of the imperial garden, they met Wei Youchen, who came in a hurry with an anxious face.
"Why are you here?" The two asked in unison.
"I heard that you had heat stroke, so I hurried over to take a look." Wei Youchen looked nervously at Yan Zenyi's face, and when he saw her red face, he knew that she was pretending to be sick, and asked a little funny, "Where are you pretending to be sick and running away?" β
"Go and find... I want to take my sister to Shi'an Temple for a meal. Yan Chanyi almost blurted out that he was looking for you, but he covered his mouth in time and said in a low voice, "I want to go to the gate of the palace first, and the birthday gift for you is inconvenient to bring in, so I put it in the carriage." β
"Then let's go to Shi'an Temple." Weichen heard that she went to look for you unspokenly, and his heart was very happy, so he turned around and prepared to return to Shi'an Temple.
"Wait, I still have something in the carriage to get it first." When Yan Zenyi saw that this person turned around and left, he was a little anxious and grabbed Wei Youchen.
"It's a box with a purple brocade strip tied around it, right? Fenghua was handed over to Merry in the morning, and now I'm waiting for you to open it for me. Wei Youchen took Yan Zenyi's hand and walked towards Shi'an Temple.
"You let go, there are many people in the palace, don't be seen." Yan Zenyi's face turned red, and he struggled several times before he broke away from the fiery hand of Weichen.
Wei Youchen only felt a loss in the palm of his hand, but he also understood her scruples, so he didn't say anything, and only led the way with peace of mind not far in front of him.
Li Enchanting who followed on the side was a little aggrieved, although she didn't want to go to Queen Nalaoshzi's side for lunch, but she didn't want to eat dog food under the sun.
The three of them hurriedly left the imperial garden, not far from them, a woman was facing the scorching sun, only silently eating hot pot with tears, while staring hatefully at the two little eunuchs who were supervising her eating hot pot in the gazebo in the distance.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
"What's in there?" Wei Youchen received this box early in the morning, although he was curious, he still resisted the urge to open it, and wanted to wait for the little girl to open it for herself.
