Chapter 331: After the Contradiction
"See...... I have seen the queen, the emperor. Concubine Yao looked at the emperor and empress and bit her lip, and said in a trembling voice.
She really didn't expect that the emperor would suddenly appear here, and it happened to bump into her scolding Huo Lingxiao.
The emperor looked at Concubine Yao, frowned and asked, "Concubine Yao, what were you doing just now?" Why did you still get this broken porcelain piece? ”
"I ......" Concubine Yao was flustered, she didn't know how to phrase it for a while, and she didn't even know where to put her hands and feet.
The emperor looked at Concubine Yao coldly like this, and did not speak again.
Concubine Yao slowly calmed down, and her voice was not so flustered, but she was still a little trembling, "Just now, the concubine had some disputes with the third prince, which caused the concubine to speak in a somewhat inappropriate tone and words, and asked the emperor not to punish him." ”
Before the emperor could speak, the queen spoke before the emperor, "How can this work?" The state has national laws, the family has family rules, and the harem naturally has to have the rules in the harem. If your words are spread now, it will not be your face alone, but the face of the entire harem. ”
As soon as she heard the queen's words, Concubine Yao became angry, but because the emperor was watching here, she couldn't directly fight the queen, so she had to reluctantly hold back her temper and asked the queen rhetorically, "Since the state has national laws and family rules, and the concubine is clearly asking the emperor just now, why did the queen intervene first?" Is that the rule? ”
was scolded by Concubine Yao like this, and the queen suddenly felt a little unbearable, but she was not easy to refute - if she really refuted, wouldn't it prove that what Concubine Yao said about hers was right?
The two quickly changed from a verbal confrontation to a visual confrontation, you come and go, no one refuses to back down, the palace suddenly quieted down, but the smell of gunpowder is getting stronger and stronger.
In the end, it was the Emperor who broke the deadlock between the two of them.
"Concubine Yao, tell me briefly, what is it that you have a dispute with Ling Xiao for?" The Emperor said.
As soon as the emperor spoke, the empress and Concubine Yao suddenly looked away and stopped looking at each other.
And Concubine Yao immediately lowered her head and pretended to be pitiful, and told all her dissatisfaction with Huo Lingxiao during these days.
What Yao Guifei said was not all lies, after all, Huo Lingxiao and Yang Guifei did not deal with each other, even if Yao Guifei was her adoptive mother, she could not look like a mother and a son.
Yes, when Concubine Yao said, Huo Lingxiao had been listening with a cold face on the side, and had no intention of refutating.
When Concubine Yao finished speaking, the emperor turned his head, looked at Huo Lingxiao and asked, "Ling Xiao, did what Concubine Yao said wronged you?" ”
Huo Lingxiao just looked faint and didn't say anything. On the other hand, Huo Zeshen next to her seemed to be very anxious, she kept secretly tugging on Huo Lingxiao's sleeve, but Huo Lingxiao avoided it silently.
When the emperor saw this, he knew that Huo Lingxiao had acquiesced, so he didn't say anything, but looked at Huo Lingxiao's appearance in a daze.
Somehow, the emperor inexplicably felt that Huo Lingxiao looked very much like her mother, the imperial concubine, and even remembered the former identity of Concubine Yao, and he was going to punish Huo Lingxiao heavily, but he immediately swallowed it back.
The emperor was silent for a while, and finally just said, "Since this is the case, then it is not suitable for you to stay in Concubine Yao's palace anymore, and you will die by yourself, and you will not be allowed to come out without my order for half a month." ”
This time, Huo Lingxiao's reaction was very decisive, and he directly saluted the emperor and replied, "Yes." ”
Concubine Yao didn't expect that the behaviors she said about Lin Guard's laughter were already so serious, but the emperor just let Huo Lingxiao simply go back to the house to think about it, and suddenly became a little dissatisfied.
But she is not a person without eyesight, she also knows that her previous scolding words have made the emperor feel dissatisfied, and if she shows her dissatisfaction again at this time, it will definitely make the emperor even more annoyed, so she can only keep her dissatisfaction in her heart and endure it silently.
Seeing that Concubine Yao didn't show any opinions, the emperor didn't bother to stay here, so he left directly with Huo Lingxiao and Huo Zeshen.
However, the emperor left, but the empress remained.
Then he circled around Concubine Yao and said in an extremely mocking tone, "Look at it, what you said is so pitiful, what reaction did the emperor give you?" She still has the imperial concubine in her heart, so she is still partial to Huo Lingxiao, what are you? You're just a little maid next to the imperial concubine, don't think of yourself as a swan. ”
As soon as she heard the queen's words, Concubine Yao's eyes turned red, and she suddenly burst out laughing, "Queen, how do you think you are better than me?" Except for the fifteenth day of each month, do you see that the emperor is willing to patronize your palace? Even if the emperor is partial to Huo Lingxiao, no matter how I say that Huo Lingxiao is also my nominal adopted son, but what about your crown prince, has the emperor ever given the slightest favor? ”
Concubine Yao's words have poked into the queen's heart, but Jiang is still old and spicy after all, and the queen will never be willing to lose face in front of Concubine Yao, so she still makes a cold look that has not been affected by Concubine Yao's words in the slightest.
"These don't worry about my sister, no matter what, the prince is still the prince, and the palace is still the queen, you have no power, no power, no support, you can sit here today, it's all your ancestral tomb is smoking, you, don't think about anything."
After the queen finished speaking, she didn't look at Concubine Yao's pale face, and turned around and left the palace directly.
She knew she had won.
Yao Guifei was so angry that she wanted to drop the vase again, but Huo Zeyu hurriedly stopped Yao Guifei.
"Mother, the queen's words are just talking, you must not take it to heart, no matter what, at least for now, we still have an advantage over the queen......" Huo Zeyu's words were interrupted by Concubine Yao before he finished speaking.
More precisely, it was interrupted by the sound of the vase broken by Concubine Yao.
"Advantages? What other advantages do we have? She is right, we have no power, no power, no support, just relying on the unreliable grace of the emperor, when do you say we will have the day to come out? You say! Yao Guifei shouted at Huo Zeyu, there was no image of a concubine at all, her hair was scattered, her makeup was no longer exquisite, and she looked no different from an ordinary crazy woman.
Huo Zeyu was also suppressed by her, standing motionless and listening to Concubine Yao's vicious curses.
After a long time, Concubine Yao scolded until she lost her strength, and the whole person collapsed on the chair without any image, rubbing her eyebrows with her hands. Huo Zeyu watched from the sidelines, and said nothing coldly.
It wasn't until Concubine Yao Guifei completely calmed down that she remembered Huo Zeyu, and when she raised her eyes, she saw Huo Zeyu's expression, and for no reason she felt a little flustered, so she quickly got up and apologized, "Zeyu, I was angry just now, I can't control myself, don't ...... to your heart."
Huo Zeyu didn't overdo it, didn't look at Concubine Yao again, and said in a stiff voice, "It's okay, I know." ”
Concubine Yao was still focused on her own affairs, and she didn't pay much attention to Huo Zeyu's abnormality, and quickly changed the topic, "Zeyu, the emperor just asked Huo Lingxiao to go back to the house this time to think about it, I know that he must be ashamed in his heart, you can take this opportunity to seek some benefits, at this time, the emperor will turn a blind eye to some extent." ”
Concubine Yao was right, although the emperor did not punish Huo Lingxiao heavily because he remembered the imperial concubine, he also remembered his mistreatment of Concubine Yao afterwards, and he was indeed a little ashamed in his heart.
Even if this is a small shame, it is still profitable.
Huo Zeyu quickly said goodbye to Concubine Yao and returned to his mansion.
As soon as he arrived at the house, he hurriedly called out all the people in the house to discuss this matter.
After listening to Huo Zeyu's brief description of the situation, a staff member spoke, "Since it is as the fourth prince said, it is definitely not appropriate to ask the emperor for official positions or powerful gold and silver at this time." However, since Concubine Yao said that the emperor will turn a blind eye, then we might as well use this opportunity to secretly expand our power, as long as it is not too obvious, it must not be too difficult. ”
The words of this staff member were unanimously approved by the other staff, and Huo Zeyu also felt polite, and finally decided to do so.
The Imperial Study.
The emperor sat on the chair, looked at Huo Lingxiao and Huo Zeshen who were brought back by him with a serious face, and said slowly, "Do you know why I brought you to the study alone to talk. ”
Neither responded.
The emperor was not annoyed, and continued, "Ling Xiao, I always thought that you were a deferential child, but I didn't expect that you would be like this to Concubine Yao, no matter what she said, she is your adoptive mother, how can you do this?" ”
Huo Lingxiao didn't say anything else, but said, "Erchen knows that he is wrong. ”
The emperor saw that Huo Lingxiao had a good attitude in admitting his mistakes, so he pointed the finger at Huo Zeshen again.
"And you, Zeshen, you follow the Queen Mother every day, why haven't you learned some truths, what are you going to do when you go up and meddle in this kind of thing?" The emperor's tone was much harsher at this time.
Huo Zeshen didn't care very much, but he didn't show anything.
The emperor thought that this was the end of it, and finally admonished, "Ling Xiao, Concubine Yao is your adoptive mother after all, and filial piety comes first, if she says something bad in the future, you just have to agree, don't have to conflict with her again." ”
What the emperor didn't expect was that Huo Lingxiao, who was very cooperative before, had an unusually firm attitude this time, "Father, it is difficult for the sons and daughters to obey their orders." If Concubine Yao still doesn't choose to slander Erchen's important people in the future, Erchen will still make the same decision. ”
