Chapter 246: White Horse Crossing the Gap (5)
When Xiao Li came, his face was full of anxiety, and he bowed to the new moon, but was stopped by the new moon waving his hand, "Madame, come here." ”
Xiao Li is very nervous, after all, she was not there when Lian Yue gave birth to Lian'er, and Lian Yue also died of dystocia, Mercy is Xiao Li's only daughter, and the degree of tension can be seen.
"Niangniang, how is the lady Niangniang?" Xiao Li asked.
"It's not a big deal, I just drank ginseng soup, it's going to be a little tired, it's not too late to rest first." Crescent Moon briefly said that the situation of mercy.
Xiao Li listened, looked at his daughter's face, and then put his mind at ease, and then asked Xinyue, "Niangniang, where is Your Majesty?" ”
"I'm talking to mercy. Madam, you stay here for a while, and I'll go find Your Majesty. Xinyue stood up from the side of the bed, and Xiao Li said, "Niangniang, go." ”
Xinyue came out of the hall of mercy and looked at Chai Bijun who was coming over from a distance, Xinyue frowned, Mercy has always been not on good terms with Chai Bijun, if she knew now that she came to see her, and it was when His Majesty did not come, Mercy would definitely feel that Chai Bijun was coming to see her jokes, which would make her angry and affect the birth of children.
"Say hello to the mother" Chai Bijun curtsied his knees and gave the new moon a regular salute.
"Well, you're here" Crescent Moon raised her eyebrows and asked Chai Bijun to get up.
"Niangniang, how is Concubine Shu?"
"Now that it is in labor, the doctor said that there should not be too many people in the house, it will distract the compassion. The concubine doesn't have to go in, if there is nothing to do, go to the palace to observe the tranquility and pray for mercy. With that, Xinyue walked up and rubbed shoulders with Chai Bijun and walked forward.
Crescent Moon thought that Chai Bijun would go back, but she followed Crescent Moon over.
"What are you doing with Hongu?" Xinyue turned around and looked at Chai Bijun, who was only one step away from him.
"Niangniang, I have this feeling since a long time ago, is there any misunderstanding between Niangniang and the concubine, so I have some hostility towards the concubine." Chai Bijun was blunt and said the questions he had always had in his heart.
"Hostility?" Xinyue didn't rush to deny it, but really thought about her words, and replied, "How can the concubine see it?" ”
"Your name is Concubine Shu, and for the concubine's body, it seems that you have never looked at it directly."
"Are you saying that this palace favors you and mercy?" Xinyue turned her head and looked at Chai Bijun.
Chai Bijun is still that plain and boring face, she is a very elegant woman, her taste in clothing and dress is also very good, she is a person who will not find fault, Xinyue thought about it, she really doesn't like Chai Bijun, whether it is from her boudoir, or now.
"You know that's not what concubines mean." Chai Bijun didn't want the crescent moon to go around in circles.
Xinyue lowered her head, looked at the tips of her shoes, and saw that the corners of her skirt were a little dusty, so she stretched out her finger and pointed to her skirt, and looked at Fei'er, Fei'er froze, but Xinyue asked her to step back and look at Chai Bijun.
Chai Bijun frowned, reached out and took out his handkerchief, and wiped the dust off the crescent moon's skirt.
Xinyue took a deep breath and asked Chai Bijun, "Are you all angry?" ”
"Don't dare to concubine" Chai Bijun's face still didn't show any emotion, just looked at the new moon lightly.
"That's why I don't like you. Although pity always offends you verbally, you don't hate her, because you know that she doesn't have any scheming, to put it bluntly, the whole person is just that mouth. But you're different, I can't be friends with you, but it's not like I'm enemies with you. So I can only stay away from you, and I am willing to compromise. If you need anything in this house, take it from me. As long as we continue to maintain a balance, I hope you will not make the same mistake as His Majesty's mother, and I, no matter what your aunt does, I don't want to be like her, do you understand? ”
"Niangniang, do you know that you have one thing, I want to go crazy, so we shouldn't be as calm as Niangniang wants." Chai Bijun saw that Xinyue really saw through her, so there was no way to maintain the peace on the surface.
"You know, this queen's position is not what I want." Crescent Moon was a little tired, she lowered her head, and the tassel fell.
"yes, I want it and I can't get it. Xu Xinyue, this world is really unfair. It was the first time for Chai Bijun to call Xinyue's name, and he suddenly felt a burst of grievance and anger in his chest that could not be concealed.
Crescent Moon sighed, "If you think I'm wrong, then I apologize to you." ”
Xinyue really wants to apologize to Chai Bijun, because in her dream, Chai Bijun is the queen, and she has also done what a good queen should be. And at present, it seems that as long as he lives, Chai Bijun does not seem to have this opportunity.
"I don't need you to pretend." Chai Bijun raised his voice, and after Xinyue heard it, he sighed, "At least, you won't hate me because of this posterior." ”
"Heh" Chai Bijun sneered, "Your Majesty, the first emperor and the prince's cousin all said that you are a smart woman, but you are not in my eyes." They really don't see you through, you really only care about what you care about, and you invest your passion and care. Things you don't care about, but they seem so stupid. These things are the most important things for you at the moment. How do you think that I am rare to be a queen? Aren't there enough queens from our Chai family? Am I really missing this vanity? ”
"That..."Xinyue thought for a moment, she knew that Chai Bijun liked Rong Ying, "But if it is Your Majesty, I really don't know how to return his love to you." ”
Chai Bijun's cold smile deepened, "Still?" ”
Xinyue realized that she had said the wrong thing, and her eyebrows deepened, "If the concubine doesn't have anything else, I'll talk about it here today, and there is something else in the palace, so I'll take the first step." ”
"Yes" Chai Bijun retracted his few expressions and watched the new moon leave.
"Niangniang, the expression of the concubine Niangniang doesn't seem to be very good" Fei'er stretched out her hand and held the new moon with some worry.
Xinyue sighed and said, "I'm in this palace, and the person I don't want to mess with the most is from Chai Bijun." As she said, their Chai family does not lack queens. She wanted something else, and I was the stumbling block for her to get it. So how could she not harm me. ”
"You said that the concubine still dares to harm you?" Fei'er immediately became vigilant.
Xinyue lowered her head, she always felt that her head was so heavy, and it would be much better to be so low" But I haven't seen it yet, who knows what will happen later." ”
"Niangniang, why do you always look at the future, you always look forward, but the things in the present should be the most important, otherwise, there will always be an end to things in the future, and you are not afraid of missing the precious things now?" Fei'er has a little understanding of the new moon and has seen through her mind a lot.
"Who says it's not" Although Xinyue said this, this is her consistent character, and I'm afraid it's hard to change.
The two walked to the study of the Qiangong, and after the communication, Xinyue walked in and saw Rong Ying sitting behind the desk, writing something on a piece of paper.
"Greetings to Your Majesty" Crescent Moon bowed.
"Well, get up" Rong Ying didn't raise her head, and the pen didn't break, still writing, "How is Concubine Shu?" ”
"Compassion is still in production, I don't know if Your Majesty is free, go over and take a look at mercy." The crescent moon probe, seeing that Rong Ying was indeed dealing with political affairs, he was writing about some things to be implemented after the opening of the dynasty tomorrow.
"I've already sent someone to greet her, and it's not too late to wait until she's done." During Rong Ying's luncheon, he drank some wine, but he was not drunk, but his cheeks were still slightly red, and the pen in his hand was stained with some ink, and the ink didn't know if it was a little less, it had already dried a lot, Xinyue rolled up his sleeves, picked up the ink block with his bare hands, and grinded it on the inkstone.
After grinding for a few moments, Rong Ying waved his hand to stop, "I'm almost done writing." ”
"Yes" Xinyue put down the ink block, and put some pens on the desk that had not yet come to Huan, and reached out to pick them up, but was stopped by Rong Ying, "Let the palace people do it." What else is the matter with the Queen? ”
"The concubine is here to invite Your Majesty, if Your Majesty is not free, then the concubine is here waiting for Your Majesty..."
"In that case, then you can go outside and wait, I invited General Jiang to discuss the matter."
"But it's for Yanzhou's business..."After Xinyue spoke, she realized that she was a little anxious, and Rong Ying's eyes also explained her gaffe, "What?" The queen is very concerned about the affairs of the previous dynasty? ”
"No, the concubine doesn't dare, even so, the concubine will go back first." After the two of them broke up unhappily at the dinner that day, the two of them have always been in this state, Rong Ying's coldness was all seen by Xinyue, Xinyue felt very relaxed, but today somehow, I felt that it was a little prickly.
"En" Rong Ying finished writing and reached out to serve the teacup, but because of the instability of his subordinates, a full cup of tea came out of the mouth, and Xinyue, who was standing on the side, subconsciously used her wide sleeves to block the tea that was spilled, otherwise the tea fell on the look, and Rong Ying wrote something for more than an hour.
Then the tea did not fall on her sleeve, as Crescent Moon had judged, but spilled all over her hands.
The tea is piping hot, the temperature of this water, even Rong Ying, who has always loved to drink hot tea, will feel hot, not to mention the new moon with delicate skin, the tea burned her palm, she frowned, withdrew her hand, but was grabbed by Rong Ying, and then rolled up her sleeves, it turned out that there was still a part of the tea on her clothes, these heat will make the range of burns aggravated, Rong Ying's hand was very cold, holding the hand of the new moon, the new moon actually didn't want to wave it away.
"What are you looking at me for? Come here" said, Rong Ying grabbed Xinyue's hand and walked out of the desk, Xinyue looked back and saw that the paper he was writing just now did not fall into the water, which was still good.
Rong Ying took advantage of her distraction and took out the scalding cream from the cabinet on the side.
"Don't bother Your Majesty, it's okay for the concubine to go back to the imperial doctor to deal with it." Seeing that Rong Ying seemed to be playing a trick, she took out the scalding cream, and Xinyue struggled a little uncomfortably.
"Do you really want your hands to not only burn, but also dislocated?" Rong Ying was still not angry, and clenched Xinyue's hand.
Xinyue knew that he was not Rong Ying's opponent, so he let him "Your Majesty Xie"
After the temperature of the skin came down, it began to hurt hotly, Rong Ying wiped the water on Xinyue's skin with a cotton cloth, and saw that Xinyue lowered her head, as if it was a little painful, "be stronger"
Although he said this, Xinyue felt that Rong Ying's hand was still much lighter, and after wiping the water, he opened the lid of the scalding cream, dipped some in a cotton cloth, and applied it to Xinyue's hand.
The ointment is oily, cool, and has a strong aroma, and the whole study is full of this smell.
After applying the ointment, Rong Ying quickly bandaged it with gauze, his bandaging skills can be described as exquisite, after the bandage, he stared at Xinyue's hand, Xinyue wanted to take back his hand, but he was still holding it.
The two didn't speak, Rong Ying looked complacent, but Xinyue felt a little like sitting on pins and needles, and it didn't take long for her to speak, "Your Majesty doesn't want to see General Jiang, the concubine should avoid it." ”
Rong Ying was silent for a moment before she spoke, "It's for Yanzhou, we are ready to recapture Yanzhou." ”
"These things don't seem to be things that concubines should ask about." Xinyue remembered what Rong Ying had just said to herself, and her tone became cold.
"Even if you are my queen now, the Jiang family, especially Jiang Yang, is also a good knife." Rong Ying flipped over Crescent Moon's hand, looked into his palm, and then looked up at Crescent Moon, "This knife is in your hand." ”
"Why did Your Majesty say that?" Xinyue knew that Rong Ying was suspicious, but after she got married, she had never been in contact with Jiang Yang, and Rong Ying was a little misunderstood when she said this.
"You don't have to be afraid, that's a good thing. You are the one who has the knife, but I am the one who wields it. If I am not there, my son will continue to be a sword-wielder. Xu Xinyue, in addition to being my queen, you are still an extremely useful person to me. Rong Ying said these brainless words, but in these words, Xinyue heard some...
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty said that General Jiang is a sharp knife, so what is Your Majesty? And for whom? Crescent Moon asked.
"I naturally have it for myself" Rong Ying said firmly, but in Xinyue's eyes, he saw a rare smile, he was a little annoyed, and continued to insist, "That's how I am." ”
"Yes, there is no emperor who is willing to be restrained. Your Majesty, if you think I am useful, then use it, and if it is useless, you can discard it. But you have to promise me that if those who are being used do nothing rebellious, you will save their lives. "Xinyue wants Rong Ying to promise herself.
"I'm not a faint king, it's natural." Rong Ying agreed, but in Xinyue's eyes, she saw disbelief.
Rong Ying sighed, "Even if you don't have me in your heart, you still know me very well." ”
"Your Majesty, go and see mercy." Crescent didn't want to continue the conversation, so she talked about the purpose of her trip.
Rong Ying nodded: "If you see General Jiang, you will go." ”
"That's good, that concubine..."
"Your Majesty, General Jiang has arrived" Someone spread the word, and Xinyue also took the opportunity to withdraw his hand and turned to leave.
