Chapter 74: Second visit to the palace of the king of Chu
The emperor nodded, waved his hand, and motioned for him to step aside.
After Chi Cheng left, the emperor said to Gonggong Xue: "You go to the treasury and take out the phoenix dance Jiutian hairpin left by the queen mother, and personally send it to Princess Chu." β
Father-in-law Xue showed a surprised expression on his face: "Your Majesty, that phoenix dance for nine days......"
The emperor glared at Gonggong Xue, and then said, "Pick out some other gold and silver jewelry, jewelry and jade." Then, go to the flower room and pick some good ones, what peonies, peonies, lilies, pick the best ones, and send them to Princess Chu together. You tell her what flowers you like, as long as there are flowers in the room. β
"Yes, Your Majesty." Xue Gonggong said.
The emperor lowered his voice: "Phoenix Dance for nine days, let her put it away." You go and get it yourself, and don't let anyone else know. β
"The emperor can rest assured, the minions will not leak the news." Xue Gonggong said with a smile.
Gonggong Xue went to the treasury of Zhengyang Palace and personally found the Fengwu Nine Heavenly Hairpin left by the Queen Mother. It was a golden hairpin, a phoenix flying into the sky, extremely exquisite. Each tail is set with a large ruby. It looks gorgeous and worth a lot of money.
In fact, it is. It used to be the dowry of the Empress Dowager. Later, it was given to the Queen Mother, who was still the queen at the time. The queen mother and the queen were not on good terms, and did not give this hairpin to other women, but handed it over to the emperor before her death.
It has been several years since the death of the Queen Mother, and the emperor has been carefully guarding this phoenix dance nine days hairpin.
"The emperor is finally going to make a decision." Father-in-law Xue looked at the phoenix dance Jiutian hairpin lying quietly in the sandalwood jewelry box, and said with a smile.
Gong Xue put on the jewelry box, and according to the emperor's instructions, he selected some exquisite jewelry, and then left the treasury and went to the flower room.
Fuyuki-in.
The captain of the guard, Kanazawa, hurried to the gate of the Winter Snow Courtyard and said that there was something important.
Mrs. Liu hurriedly walked out and asked, "Master Jin, what's the matter?" β
Jin Ze said: "Mama, please tell Niangniang, Father-in-law Xue is here and wants to see Niangniang." β
Mrs. Liu frowned: "Does Master Jin know why Gonggong Xue came?"
"It seems that the emperor has a reward. Xia Guan didn't dare to ask more, but when he saw Xue Gonggong smiling, he seemed to be in a very good mood. Moreover, I also came with a lot of things, in addition to some boxes, there are a lot of flowers and plants. β
Hearing Jin Ze say this, Mrs. Liu breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, Lord Jin." β
Mrs. Liu hurriedly went back and told her to leave for a long time. Li Jiujiu suddenly thought of her face, she jumped down from the chair and said to Bi Luo, "Bi Luo, quickly take the veil!" β
"Mother, no!" Mrs. Liu said sharply.
Lijiu and Biluo couldn't help but stop.
Mrs. Liu walked in front of Li Jiujiu and said solemnly: "Niangniang, the last time Gonggong Xue came, you covered your face. If you cover your face with a veil this time, no matter what excuse you use to prevaricate, it is not appropriate. After all, there is no such coincidence. simply, let the emperor know that his face was injured. However, it will not be healed in a few months. β
Li Jiujiu looked at Mrs. Liu's serious face, nodded, and said, "Mama, I understand what you said." β
"Niang Niang is a smart person, I know the reason for this." Mrs. Liu said.
Lijiu nodded again.
After a while, Grandpa Xue came, and he walked in with a jewelry box in his hand. Others waited outside the courtyard with boxes of jewelry or flower pots.
Xue Gonggong saw Lijiujiu's face, his eyes were full of surprise, and he was about to salute, but he was stopped by Lijiujiu.
"Grandpa Xue doesn't have to be polite, please take a seat." Lijiujiu's face was indifferent, with a shallow smile.
"Xie Niangniang." Grandpa Xue raised his head, not knowing where to look for a while.
Li Jiujiu smiled generously: "Does Grandpa Xue want to ask, what's wrong with my face?" β
Father-in-law Xue smiled apologetically: "Niangniang, the slave is not curious, but just worried about ......"
"Father-in-law Xue, please take a seat, and I'll listen to you in detail." After speaking, he glanced at Biluo for a long time.
Biluo hurriedly moved a stool over.
"Xie Niangniang, Niangniang sit." Xue Gonggong said with a smile.
The two sat down.
"Actually, the last time Grandpa Xue came, my face was made like that just to cover the wound on my face. However, Xue Gonggong can rest assured. After returning to the palace, he also asked Gonggong Xue to reassure the emperor. At most next spring, and as soon as this year's Chinese New Year's Eve, my face will be back to normal. β
Mrs. Liu looked at Lijiu's calm appearance and showed a pleased gaze.
Xue Gonggong frowned after listening to the words of the long-along, and after that, he suddenly realized: "Niangniang, it is the rejuvenation of the master of the Qi Sect!" β
Li Jiujiu smiled and nodded, and then sighed and said, "It's because I'm not filial, his old man has already retired to the mountains and forests and doesn't care about the world." But when he was in his old age, I let him run for me. But fortunately, I survived the pain of cutting my flesh, and he can continue to retire. β
Gonggong Xue asked cautiously: "Niangniang, the slave dares to ask, who is the audacity to hurt Niangniang like this?"
"I just want to tell Gonggong Xue about this. Since the wedding, I have not been on good terms with the prince. As a result, I ran away in a bad mood, and I only took some silver taels and a little jewelry with me. So I found an inn to stay in. I thought I could survive until Chinese New Year's Eve. Unexpectedly, I was jealous of the proprietress and hurt my face, put me in a sack on a snowy day, and let people throw me out. I will not die, and I will return to the palace. This is the blessing of the emperor and Concubine De. Lijiujiu's gaze became a little solemn.
Grandpa Xue couldn't help but stand up and said angrily: "These people are really bold! β
"Grandpa Xue doesn't have to be so excited, don't you think I'm doing well now?" Lijiujiu said with a smile.
"Niangniang, after the slave returns to the palace, he will report to the emperor immediately. The emperor will definitely seek justice for his mother! Xue Gonggong said.
Li Jiujiu shook his head and said with a smile: "Grandpa Xue, in fact, the prince has been to that inn. It's just that I didn't expect that the building was empty. I don't know if I heard any rumors. But don't worry, I've returned safely, so forget about it. It should be the price of my negative runaway. Now, I just hope that the prince will be victorious and the border will be peaceful. Share worries for the emperor and relieve worries for the people. I already know how to be a competent princess. β
Xue Gonggong looked at Lijiujiu's calm and atmospheric appearance, and couldn't help but praise it. He opened the jewelry box in his arms, handed it to Lijiujiu, and whispered: "Niangniang, this phoenix dance nine days hairpin is given to the queen mother after the queen mother's marriage." After the death of the Queen Mother, the emperor has been careful to keep it. Now, the emperor gave this hairpin to Niangniang. The emperor instructed the mother to keep it carefully. The slave wanted to tell Niangniang that this phoenix dance nine days hairpin was extraordinary, and it would be possible to bring it out until that time. β
"At that time? Father-in-law, when is it? Bi Luo asked curiously.
Mrs. Liu hurriedly glared at Biluo. Biluo stuck out her tongue in embarrassment and stopped talking.
Xue Gonggong's words were very vague, but after a long time, he understood it all at once. She quickly stood up and carefully took the jewelry box with both hands.
"If I bother Gonggong Xue to return to the palace to the emperor, I will take good care of it and live up to the emperor's grace."
sent away Grandpa Xue, and opened the delicate jewelry box again after a long time. The phoenix dance nine days hairpin inside is golden and shining, gorgeous and exquisite, and the atmosphere is vigorous.
"Niangniang, the emperor's meaning is obvious." Mrs. Liu said.
Biluo still doesn't know what it means. She was afraid that she would say something wrong again, so she didn't squeak, hoping that Li Jiujiu and Mrs. Liu could tell the mystery.
Li Jiujiu glanced at Biluo and couldn't help laughing.
"Miss, don't laugh at the slave. The slave really didn't understand. Biluo said embarrassedly.
Mrs. Liu looked at Bi Luo's blushing and shy appearance, and couldn't help but quip: "Miss, when you said that Imperial Doctor Chi came, Bi Luo stared at him almost intently. Will this Imperial Doctor Chi think that Biluo has taken a fancy to him? β
When Bi Luo heard this, his face turned even redder.
"I think that Imperial Doctor Chi must have thought that Biluo had taken a fancy to him. Biluo, in fact, it's not bad to marry Doctor Chi. He is young and promising, and he is quite handsome. If you go, you must be Mrs. Masamu. I couldn't help but joke after a long time.
"Miss, how can you ...... Ignore you! Bi Luo pretended to be angry.
"Okay, let's stop teasing you, let's get down to business." Lijiujiu put away his smile.
Mrs. Liu also said with a smile and a serious face: "Miss, the phoenix dances for nine days, and the phoenix is the queen of the middle palace to wear, as well as the queen mother, the queen mother, and the crown princess." Others, that's never daring. β
"So what Gonggong Xue said can only be worn when the time comes, that is, the day when Yun Chuhan enters the East Palace." After saying it for a long time, I couldn't help but take a breath.
Biluo finally understood: "Miss, in the future, you will be above 10,000 people under one person!" β
He didn't speak for a long time. This happened too suddenly, she didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse, so she naturally couldn't be happy. It's not that I haven't seen the palace fight drama. When I first fought with Li Moxuan, I felt tired. Thinking about Yun Chuhan's accession to the throne in the future, the three thousand beauties in the harem are all staring at the position of the queen, and they feel a headache after a long time. I have to fight with a lot of Mo Xuan, and I feel tired when I think about it.
However, there is only one person in the world. When the time comes, let alone leaving Moxuan, the entire Prime Minister's Mansion will kneel at his feet. Thinking of this, I felt comfortable in my heart for a long time. When I think of my deceased mother, if I see her eyebrows raised, I can also look at her.
"I'm tired and want to go sleep for a while." The voice of the long time showed a hint of exhaustion.
"Miss, the slave will go and get the quilt back to dry." After Bi Luo finished speaking, he ran out with a smoke.
"Mama, you put it away." After speaking, he closed the jewelry box for a long time.
"Miss, don't worry, the slave must hide it in a secret and safe place." After Mrs. Liu finished speaking, she took the jewelry box away.
Li Jiujiu took a deep breath, and then sighed.
Gonggong Xue returned to Zhengyang Palace and told the emperor what he had heard and seen in the Chu Palace.
When the emperor heard this, he nodded again and again: "You have always been very accurate in seeing people, especially women. What do you think of Princess Chu? β
