Chapter Ninety-Three: Leaving Luo Qin'er Behind
After the banquet, Luo Qin'er did not leave with the other women in Allure, but was left in the palace by Concubine Shugui. Of course, Concubine Shu had her own plans, of course she would not leave her in her palace, but sent her to a place dedicated to dancing for the palace banquet.
After Murong Xi entered the house, he brought Aunt Yu into the house, and then asked, "Aunt Yu, what do you think of this woman who danced today?" ”
Aunt Yu knew that Murong Xi was referring to the woman who imitated the Nine Heavens Xuannu just now, so she said: "The princess doesn't know, if this woman only has six or seven points of resemblance to the queen's mother, the emperor will not be like this." It's just that her dancing at that time was exactly the same as what the queen mother danced back then. Also, it is the temperament of her body. Her temperament, expression, and appearance are similar to the queen's mother, so the emperor is so out of shape. ”
The emperor is not a womanizer, how could he meet a woman with such a gaffe. Only the queen mother will make the emperor's soul unwilling, so Aunt Yu wants to say that this woman seems to have been deliberately arranged by the emperor's side.
"Mo'er, let Rushi send someone to check and see what her origin is." Murong Xi said lightly. This is obviously someone sent this woman to her father's side, such a look, such a temperament, is clearly a good intention.
At this time, Concubine Shu was beside the emperor and said softly: "Your Majesty, do you miss the queen?" ”
Murong Yu looked at Concubine Shu, but just nodded and did not speak.
But Concubine Shu continued: "Your Majesty, today's woman really scared the concubine. If it weren't for the woman's age, the concubine would really think that the queen had returned. ”
"Alas, it would be nice if it was really Jin'er." The emperor muttered.
"Your Majesty, the concubine made her own decisions and left this woman in the palace. If Your Majesty misses the Queen's sister, you can let her dance for Your Majesty at any time. Concubine Shu said wisely.
"Why are you doing this? Besides, did this girl stay of her own free will? "The emperor knows that it is not difficult to keep someone, but he doesn't want to persecute anyone.
"Your Majesty, the concubines didn't come to ask, it's just that tonight, tomorrow Your Majesty can bring someone to ask in person. If she does not want to, His Majesty will give her a free body. Concubine Shu continued.
"It's still Yun'er's way, I ask tomorrow clearly, if she doesn't want to stay in Allure, I will find a way to arrange a good identity for her. She is very much like Jin'er, after all, it is fate. The emperor said slowly.
On the emperor's night, all the dreams were the shadow of Yuan Jin'er.
On the second day, after the emperor finished the morning court, he went to the Biyun Hall of Concubine Shugui. When Concubine Shu saw that His Majesty was coming, she asked Luo Qin'er to be brought in.
"The people have seen Your Majesty." Luo Qin'er saluted, knelt there, and didn't dare to get up.
"Get up and speak." Since the moment Luo Qin'er walked in, the emperor's eyes have never left.
To say that this woman's appearance is not ten percent like Jin'er, but her temperament is very similar. Even the expression of speech and the small movements are like carved out of a mold.
"Do you remember where you came from?" The emperor asked.
"When she was five years old, her parents died, and she no longer remembered where her hometown was. If it weren't for her mother who wrote a note on Qing'er's birthday and put it in her arms, Qing'er wouldn't even know her birthday. Luo Qin'er replied cautiously.
"You've been dancing in Allure?" The emperor asked.
"Yes, the folk girl has been taught to dance by her grandmother since she was sensible." Luo Qin'er said.
"Concubine Shu left you in the palace, do you have complaints?" The emperor continued to ask.
"Back to the emperor, Qin'er knew that her status was humble, and it was really inappropriate to stay in the palace. Qin'er wanted to ask the emperor to let Qin'er out of the palace. Luo Qin'er knelt down again and said.
The emperor blinked, and then asked, "Who said that your status is humble?" If you want to stay, no one will make any irresponsible comments. Besides, staying in the palace to practice dance, isn't it better than Allure Fang? It's just that I want to ask you a sincere word, do you really want to go back to Allure? ”
However, Luo Qin'er seemed to be frightened, kneeling on the ground and unable to get up, her body still trembling a little.
The emperor saw Luo Qin'er's exposed arms, stepped forward to help her up, and then pulled the sleeves of his coat apart at once. Luo Qin'er hurriedly stepped back in a panic and said, "Your Majesty." ”
The emperor saw that her arm was actually scarred, and the emperor raised his head and asked, "What's going on?" ”
Luo Qin'er didn't dare to speak, so she could only keep her head down.
"Say, I'm in charge of you!" The emperor said with some inexplicable anger.
In his eyes, this woman is like Jin'er, no matter who she is, she can't be treated like this.
"It really doesn't matter if the people's daughter is there, please ask the emperor to calm his anger." Luo Qin'er said softly.
"Why didn't you tell me?" The emperor continued to ask.
In the face of the emperor's questioning, Luo Qin'er never let go, she looked at the emperor stubbornly, obviously very aggrieved and afraid, and tears were rolling in her eyes, just desperately not letting her fall. This look, in the eyes of the emperor, is simply a copy of Jin'er.
At the beginning, Jin'er was injured and was punished by the prime minister's wife. When he asked Jin'er, Jin'er was like this.
When the emperor saw that she still didn't say anything, he said, "Since you don't say it, then stay in the palace." ”
"The emperor doesn't want it, the maiden said." Luo Qin'er had no choice but to tell what happened.
It turns out that Allure is a place to train dancing girls, but it is just a show, not a body. However, after a performance, Luo Qin'er was favored by a son, and then discussed with her grandmother to redeem her and take her back to the house.
However, Luo Qing'er did not agree. The boy rushed into Allure and beat her severely, and threw down a sentence that if she didn't agree, he would arrest all the women in Allure and throw them into the bandits' den.
She didn't know the origin of the son, but she knew that he was rich and didn't dare to offend. And what kind of place is Allure? Mama naturally didn't dare to offend the guests, and on the premise that there was no accident, it was useless to report to the official.
This time to enter the palace to perform and dance, it is also Luo Qin'er's last dance. Because, for the safety of the other sisters, she had promised the son to go back with her. If she stayed in the palace, she was afraid that the prince would really send the sisters of Allure Fang to the bandits' den.
After hearing this, the emperor sat aside with a blank face and a cold face. Concubine Shu knew that the emperor was angry, and in a place like the capital, there would be such a bully. It's simply lawless.
"Do you remember that man?" The emperor looked at Luo Qin'er with pity and said.
"The folk girl naturally remembers." Luo Qin'er replied.
"Well, you'll draw him in a moment. Also, from today onwards, you don't have to practice dancing anymore, stay in the Heart Cultivation Palace. The emperor said slowly.
"Your Majesty? The folk girl didn't want to hurt the sisters of Allure. Luo Qin'er said sadly.
"Didn't I ask you to draw a portrait of that man? I will send someone to arrest him, and you can rest assured. Your sisters, he can't move a single one. Just, would you like to stay? The emperor asked again.
He hoped that Luo Qin'er would stay sincerely, not be forced by him.
"The people are willing to be slaves and maids, serve the emperor in the palace for a lifetime, and thank the emperor for his great kindness." Luo Qin'er said gratefully.
The emperor frowned, didn't say anything, just waved his hand, and then asked her to follow, he was going to the Heart Cultivation Palace.
Luo Qin'er followed behind the emperor, and after glancing at Concubine Shu with deep meaning, she turned around and followed the emperor with her head down.
In the Palace of Nourishing the Heart, after Luo Qin'er painted the portrait, the emperor immediately summoned Shaoqing of Dali Temple to handle the matter.
Ningxi Palace
"Miss, I heard that last night Concubine Shu saw that this woman looked very similar to the queen's mother, so she left the dancing girl named Luo Qin'er in Allure Workshop alone." Mo'er said.
"They've met?" Murong Xi asked.
"No, I heard that Concubine Shu sent this woman to the palace maid who danced with the palace. However, early this morning, the emperor summoned her in the Biyun Palace. Mo'er said softly.
"Father summoned her? Do you know what they said? Murong Xi asked puzzled.
"Miss, that's what she said." The emperor left a dancing girl in the Heart Cultivation Palace, and it has long been spread throughout the palace. Therefore, Mo'er also heard about this in the Imperial Garden, so there was no need to inquire at all. Then, she told everything that happened in the Biyun Palace.
"Hehe, where did this Luo Qin'er come from? Send someone to Allure to investigate. No, in a few days, Miss Ben will go there herself. "This woman's appearance is too weird, but the face is ...... Is it the same as her? If it's disguise, why not make it exactly the same?
"Mo'er, let our people keep an eye on Biyun Palace." Murong Xi always felt that there was something wrong with Concubine Shu, but she didn't let people stare at her. But at last night's palace banquet, she found that Concubine Shu seemed to want her to be taken away by the three princes of Nanzhao. She was very curious about what secret Concubine Shu was hiding.
"Yes." Mo'er said slowly.
"By the way, Miss, the woman followed the emperor to the Yangxin Palace, and after painting the portrait, the emperor summoned Shaoqing of Dali Temple. It seems that this matter has been handed over to Shaoqing of Dali Temple. Mo'er said softly.
"Well, it seems that my father still attaches great importance to that Luo Qin'er. I can't intervene in this matter head-on, but it's better to investigate it secretly. Murong Xi wanted to investigate first, and then find out what this woman's purpose was. She was afraid that this woman was a spy sent by Nanzhaoguo, what if something happened to her father?
"Alas, this palace has finally quieted down, and as a result, someone is going to make waves again." Mo'er has already stayed in this harem enough, and wants to leave here with the young lady as soon as possible.
finally cleaned up the Yuan Emperor and concubine, but he still couldn't leave, which was really aggrieved.
"You think I'm willing to stay? Someone around his father poisoned him, and the Gu poison on Feng Mingye's body was not resolved. Now there's another Luo Qin'er, and my head is going to be big. "Murong Xi is going to be annoyed to death by these things.
Thinking of her dignified poison killer, trapped in the palace, what a grievance.
Who knows, at this time, Rushi walked in excitedly and said, "Miss, guess what happened?" ”
