Chapter 176: Concubine Qi's Failure
Jingxue tirelessly persuaded: "Even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about it for Your Second Highness!" He is now injured, and he has fallen into the hands of Shen Nianzhen, and he is controlled by her, and when he recovers, I am afraid that there will only be Shen Nianzhen in his eyes, and there will be no more mothers. ”
Concubine Qi was most afraid of this result, and when she heard this, her eyebrows wrinkled tightly, and she said worriedly: "How can this palace not know?" But His Majesty's recent favor is the newly promoted noble man in Luohua Palace, and he doesn't see me at all! ”
"Niangniang, if Your Majesty doesn't come, we can create an opportunity!" Jingxue smiled and persuaded: "You stay in this Langhuan Palace all day long, don't go anywhere, naturally you can't see Your Majesty, you can learn from other concubines, go to the Imperial Garden for a walk, or prepare some hand-made soup and pastries to send to Your Majesty, maybe you can see it when Your Majesty is in a good mood!" ”
"Really...... Will it work? When Concubine Qi heard this, there was some expectation in her eyes.
"Of course it works!" Jingxue nodded vigorously: "As long as the mother wants to do it, there is nothing that cannot be done, Your Majesty is withdrawn and arrogant, and what she likes is a woman who takes the initiative, and it is because of her great diligence in front of Your Majesty all day long that Your Majesty loves her!" Niangniang may be able to get a blessing in disguise this time! If you are favored by Your Majesty, Your Royal Highness will definitely look down on you. ”
Is that really the case? Chen'er has a cold relationship with her and quarrels endlessly, does it have anything to do with her not being favored by the emperor?
Concubine Qi's eyes showed a hint of doubt.
But soon she affirmed this idea, yes, Chen'er was gradually estranged from her because she was not favored by the emperor!
"Okay, Hongu does as you say." Concubine Qi made up her mind and said, "Even for Chen'er, this palace must also work hard." ”
When Jingxue heard this, her eyes showed a trace of joy, and she immediately said: "Niangniang, then let the slaves and maids dress up for you now!" The slave maid has just inquired, this afternoon, Your Majesty will go to the Imperial Garden, the slave maid will take you over early, wait over there, you will definitely meet Your Majesty by chance......"
This act is actually done by the concubines who have just entered the palace, and Concubine Qi never disdains it, but for the sake of her son, she decided to take a desperate gamble, so she nodded when she heard the words, and said without blinking: "Okay." ”
Jingxue immediately got busy, and she was dressing up Concubine Qi, and personally choosing clothes for her, I have to say that her eyes are very vicious, and she is also very tasteful, and the jewelry and clothes she chooses are very set off Concubine Qi's complexion.
"This ...... Will this work? Isn't it a little weird? Concubine Qi looked through the mirror and looked at her almost unrecognizable face, which was smeared, and she was very uncomfortable.
Jingxue patiently persuaded her: "Niangniang, what Your Majesty likes is this kind of beauty!" Look at the newly favored lady, is this the kind of makeup? In fact, you are much more beautiful than her, but you didn't grasp Your Majesty's preferences, so you have been neglected for so many years, as long as you change your makeup and curry favor with you, you will definitely be able to regain your favor! ”
When Concubine Qi heard this, she had some expectations and some doubts, and couldn't help but glance at her: "Jingxue, why are you helping me so much?" ”
"Because Niangniang has been helping the slave!" Jingxue blinked her eyes and said seriously: "Jingxue was originally a Qinglou woman, who was despised and white-eyed, it was the mother who did not dislike the identity of the slave maid, protected the slave maid in front of His Royal Highness, and brought me into the palace, the maid was like I was reborn, of course the slave maid wants to repay you!" Letting you get His Majesty's favor is the only thing Jingxue can do for her mother. ”
"Jingxue ......" Concubine Qi heard this, and she was a little moved in her heart.
Originally, she took Jingxue back to the palace because she was angry with Rong Chen, and she was very disdainful of her identity in her heart, but at this moment, after listening to Jingxue's words, her heart was full of emotion, and she didn't care about her past identity.
Even, Concubine Qi had an urge to keep Jingxue by her side forever in the future.
However, as soon as this idea came out, Concubine Qi immediately withdrew from the joy and emotion, and the whole person was extremely calm.
Jingxue is a foreigner, and she is a Qinglou Oiran, she can't stay in the palace for a long time! That will bring disaster, and when I reconcile with my son, I will think of a reason to send her out of the palace! It is best to send it away from afar, and never set foot in Beijing again in this life.
Concubine Qi had already made up her mind in her heart, but her face was not revealing at all, she was still smiling, and after finishing her makeup, she took Jingxue's hand affectionately and sat in the hall chatting and talking, until the people in the palace outside reported that the emperor's Luan driver had gone in the direction of the imperial garden, and she stood up.
"Niangniang, let the slave go with you." Jingxue also stood up, looked at Concubine Qi with an expectant expression, and said, "The slave can also teach you how to do it, and you can firmly control Your Majesty's mind." ”
"This ......" Concubine Qi suddenly hesitated when she heard this.
"!" Jingxue suddenly became a little anxious.
Concubine Qi glanced at her faintly when she heard this, and suddenly said, "You are so anxious to follow the palace to see Your Majesty?" Could it be that he was planning to seduce the emperor by himself? ”
I have to say that although Concubine Qi was in chaos as soon as she encountered her son's affairs, her IQ decreased, but she was very keen in other places.
Jingxue couldn't help but be stunned when she heard this.
Then he laughed: "Niangniang, the slave is just here to help you, since you are worried about this, then the slave is waiting for you in this inner hall!" In the future, if Your Majesty comes to Langhuan Palace, the slave and maid will never appear in front of you. ”
As he spoke, he was disheartened and wanted to retreat.
"Wait." Concubine Qi glanced at her, slightly hooked the corners of her mouth and said, "It's not impossible if you want to follow, it's just that you need to change your clothes and change your hairstyle." As he spoke, he glanced at Lin Yue, the big palace maid beside him.
Lin Yue immediately stepped forward and took Jingxue down to change clothes with a smile.
Jingxue looked at Concubine Qi suspiciously, and followed Lin Yue obediently.
Concubine Qi was not in a hurry, and sat on the main seat slowly and drank tea.
Halfway through a cup of tea, Jingxue came back.
The original light blue palace maid's dress that was cut and fit has been replaced with a dark red wide dress, which is the clothes worn by the older grandmothers in the palace on weekdays, and Jingxue's hairstyle has also changed, and the originally smooth jade-like forehead is blocked by a pinch of thick bangs, which are very long, so long that her beautiful blue eyes are also covered.
Wearing such clothes and combing such hairstyles, not to mention the emperor, even the eunuchs and fathers-in-law in the palace will not take a second look.
"Okay, that's it, let's go, I won't see Your Majesty any later." Concubine Qi glanced at it, she was very satisfied, put down the tea bowl at the moment, softly held the hand of the palace maid, got up and walked out.
Jingxue lowered her head slightly, following behind, and there was a flash of anger in her eyes.
Then, with the help of the wide sleeves, he touched the dagger hidden at his waist.
……
When Concubine Qi took Jingxue to meet the emperor in the imperial garden, Shen Nianzhen sat in front of Rong Chen's bed, holding an orange, peeling off one by one, carefully cleaning up all the white silk on the meat, and then reached out to feed it to Rong Chen's mouth, and asked him with a smile: "Is it delicious?" ”
Rong Chen opened his mouth to eat the orange petal into his mouth, I don't know if it was intentional or unintentional, his tongue licked it lightly on Shen Nianzhen's fingers, and he smiled meaningfully: "It's delicious, it's a unique orange in the world, why is it not delicious?" ”
Shen Nianzhen retracted his hand like lightning, first looked left and right, and saw that the palace people who were waiting were not there, so he glared at Rong Chen hatefully: "Your Highness, if you are unruly, I will go back!" ”
"Okay, okay, I'm not going to tease you." Rong Chen hurriedly took her hand and said half-coquettishly: "Nianzhen, will you stay here to accompany the palace today?" Hongu doesn't want you to go......"
The man who has always been arrogant and domineering suddenly showed this kind of coquettish and scoundrel look, I am afraid that no woman can resist, Shen Nianzhen is no exception, seeing Rong Chen's appearance, she instantly softened.
Do you want to stay?
No way! Grandmother would never have agreed!
Thinking of this, Shen Nianzhen immediately calmed down, looked at Rong Chen and said seriously: "Your Highness, we haven't married yet, it's unreasonable for me to stay here, if you don't want me to become the laughing stock of Quan Shangjing, let me go back!" Don't worry, I'll come to visit you early tomorrow morning, and I'll bring you the osmanthus cake, steamed duck paws, golden silk noodles, shrimp dumplings, ......"
"Then I won't be able to." Rong Chen immediately refused: "How much effort does it take to do this!" It's too hard, you don't have to do anything, just come and visit me directly, this palace wants to stay with you all the time. ”
Shen Nianzhen: "......"
After Rong Chen was injured, why did he become so tired?
But she also liked it, and immediately pursed her lips and nodded, "Okay, I know." There was a smile in my eyes.
"Kiss the palace." Rong Chen looked at her and said.
Yes? Shen Nianzhen was stunned.
"Kiss the palace, the palace will let you go, otherwise, you don't want to leave." Rong Chen's domineering way.
Shen Nianzhen: "......"
At this time, a picturesque voice came from outside: "Miss, are you alright?" The eldest young master is already waiting outside, and if he doesn't leave to return home, it will be too late. ”
Shen Nianzhen was helpless, looking down at Rong Chen's smiling face, under the candlelight, those eyes were full of brilliance, as if they were full of all the jewels in the world, Shen Nianzhen adhered to the principle that even if he kissed himself, he would not suffer, quickly bent down, quickly kissed Rong Chen's forehead, and turned around to leave.
However, one hand was held by Rong Chen, and with a little force, Shen Nianzhen's whole person fell back into his arms, and the two of them were very close, and he could see the stunned in the girl's eyes and his own reflection when he entered.
Rong Chen looked very happy, grinning at the corners of his mouth and said, "This is too perfunctory, right?" Well? This palace is so seriously injured for you, you can't practice martial arts in the future, can't you treat people well? ”
The tone was extremely aggrieved.
Shen Nianzhen's face was full of helplessness, glanced at the door, and said in a low voice: "It's too late!" Don't you see Picturesque knocking on the door? Let go of me! ”
Rong Chen didn't follow, lowered his head and kissed Shen Nianzhen heavily on the forehead, and then reluctantly let go of her.
And he explained, "You have to come early tomorrow!" ”
"I know!" Shen Nianzhen nodded vigorously when he heard this.
Then he reluctantly glanced at Rong Chen, tidied up his clothes, and turned to leave.
Rong Chen looked at her back, his eyes were full of attachment.
It's so boring to be alone for a long night! It would be nice if Shen Nian could really accompany him......
However, Rong Chen also knew that the two did not hold a wedding, if Shen Nianzhen really stayed, he would definitely be criticized, since he loved her, he naturally didn't want her to be so wronged.
It's just secretly thinking in my heart that it would be good to simply advance the wedding date......
Shen Nianzhen, who walked to the door, couldn't help but look back, and saw that Rong Chen's eyes were full of loss, as if she was a puppy abandoned by her master, as if she would never come back once she left.
Shen Nianzhen was also a little reluctant in his heart, and suddenly ran back again, stretched out his hands and bent down to hug Rong Chen, and whispered in his ear: "Your Highness, don't be sad, even if you are really lame, I will never give up!" Not to mention that you won't be lame at all! ”
"Remembering the True ......"
Rong Chen looked at her determined gaze and was a little stunned for a while.
As if to increase the credibility of his words, Shen Nianzhen lowered his head again and lightly dropped a kiss on his side face.
Then, as if frightened by her bold move, her face flushed red, and she suddenly let go of her hand and ran out without looking back.
The girl's kiss fell softly, like a feather on the cheek, bringing a warm, itchy feeling.
Rong Chen instantly felt as if he had been electrified, crispy and numb.
He glanced at Shen Nianzhen's back in a daze, and suddenly grinned.
……
Concubine Qi returned to the palace in a huff.
The plan failed.
She dressed up and led Jingxue into the imperial garden, but found that there were already other women around the emperor, it was the newly favored Li Guiren, the two of them were Qing Qing and I, love and love, the emperor smiled and held a flower for the Li Guiren hairpin on his head, the flowers and branches of the Li Guiren smiled and trembled, and the smile on his face was like this autumn color, and the charm was boundless.
When Concubine Qi saw this scene, she immediately stopped, and could no longer take a step forward, her eyes looked coldly at the beautiful nobleman who had taken the lead, and her eyes were cold.
"Mother, in the past, what are you doing in a daze?" Jingxue asked suspiciously.
"The palace is gone, let's go back to the palace." Concubine Qi said lightly, and as she spoke, she was about to turn around and leave.
"Wait!" Jingxue was a little anxious, and couldn't help but stretch out her hand to stop Concubine Qi, and said in disbelief: "Niangniang, the purpose of our coming here is to see the emperor, right?" Now that you've seen others, why are you holding back? ”
"With such big eyes, can't you see that there are already other women around the emperor?" Concubine Qi's palace maid Lin Yue said speechlessly: "Could it be that our mother condescends to compete for favor in front of His Majesty with other lowly women?" can't do such a thing! ”
"Let's go." Concubine Qi also nodded.
"!" Jingxue was not discouraged and said, "What is this, have you forgotten?" The purpose of your coming here is for the sake of Your Royal Highness! Don't you even want to suffer this bitterness? What's more, if you pass, you may not lose to Nali nobles, no matter how favored she is, the emperor will always have a tired day. ”
Concubine Qi glanced at the emperor when she heard this, and said in a slanken tone: "You have a lot of confidence in this palace, but this palace is already over thirty years old, old and decrepit, not as good as back then, and that beautiful nobleman is in her prime, cardamom tips, such a beauty, every smile is beautiful, this palace is such a wrinkled person, what to fight with her?" Forget it, go back. ”
Saying that, no matter what Jingxue said, she insisted on leading the palace people around her to return from the original road.
Today's scene, the blow to Concubine Qi is a bit big, after she returned to Langhuan Palace, she locked herself in the inner hall and saw no one.
Jingxue sighed helplessly, feeling full of disappointment in her heart.
I'm about to see the Emperor! She was already so close to the emperor, only a few dozen zhang away, just a bush of flowers, and the things in her sleeves were ready, and she could implement it immediately, but she was destroyed by Concubine Qi again!
What a disappointment!
Jingxue pinched the dagger in her sleeve hatefully, and there was a flash of sharpness in her eyes.
……
Rong Chen's injury to his leg caused an uproar in Shangjing.
The emperor was very angry and ordered someone to investigate the matter thoroughly, but in the end it was over, Shen Nianzhen waited in the Shen family for a long time, but did not wait for the news about the arrest of the eldest prince, she stood alone on the steps under the eaves, looking at the heavy rain, her heart was extremely angry.
The eldest prince really covers the sky with his hands and eyes!
He said that even if he abolished Rong Chen's legs, he would not be punished, but he didn't expect it to be as he said.
Thinking of the eldest prince's feminine and handsome appearance with a shallow smile, Shen Nianzhen felt trembling.
"Miss, it's raining so hard today, do you still want to go to Doctor Ge?"
Ruhua walked out of the house, unfolded her cloak, and draped it over her shoulders for Shen Nianzhen.
"Go, of course you have to go, I promised the Second Highness." Shen Nianzhen said, immediately turned his head to look at her, and asked, "Are the steamed dumplings and morning tea in the kitchen ready?" ”
"Miss Hui, it's all done, it's in the food box, you ......"
Ruhua handed Shen Nianzhen the food box she was carrying in her other hand, she wanted to persuade her to say something, but she saw that Shen Nianzhen had already picked up the umbrella on the side and walked into the rain curtain with the food box.
"Miss!" Ruhua screamed and immediately chased out.
"It's raining so hard, and it's not easy for the carriage to go!" She couldn't help but persuade: "Especially the alley of Doctor Ge still has some narrow ......."
Shen Nianzhen was indifferent, just walked forward.
Ruhua was helpless, so she had to follow all the way, and took the food box from Shen Nianzhen's hand: "Miss, the slave will go with you!" ”
"That's pretty much it." In the pouring rain, Shen Nianzhen turned around and smiled at her.
The smile through the rain curtain is beautiful and picturesque.
