Chapter 286: Phoenix Room 15
After Cheng Yi appeared, King Ning had no excuse to delay, and reluctantly took the seal and agreed to move back to Chang'an; The arrogant King of Chu was unable to support himself, and in the end he scolded and followed the crowd.
The palaces of the kings on the street of the palace are ready-made, and Fenghua ordered the kings to complete the relocation within two months; After that, he rewarded the military generals who had contributed to the pacification of the rebellion, Cheng Yi was reappointed as the general of the world's soldiers and horses, Qin Jian was promoted to Zhongshu Ling, and even Su Lihua's "father" Su Ce was also promoted to the secretary of the temporary Ministry of Engineering because of his meritorious service in rescuing the princes......
Originally, Bai Jinyu was worried that the emperor would canonize her as a lady in the palace, but fortunately, there was a false alarm, but fortunately, there was not. In the days when she was in the camp, she often muttered to Fengchen that she should not be rewarded by the emperor, and it seemed that Fengchen had brought these words in place.
The Yinghua Hall finally came to an end in "its joy", and after the dismissal, the emperor left Fengchen to discuss important matters, and the queen invited Yuhe and Bai Jinyu to sit in her Weiyang Palace.
The queen solemnly thanked Bai Jinyu for digging a tunnel to save Chang'an, and comforted Yuhe if he was frightened and scared, and then chatted about some mess, there was really nothing to talk about, seeing that Fengchen's side couldn't end for a while, the queen asked them if they wanted to take a nap, Yuhe humbly said no, but Bai Jinyu felt that this proposal was good, so he really slept in Weiyang Palace for an hour.
When she woke up, it was already dusk, and when she heard that Yuhe was playing chess with someone, she had no intention of disturbing the situation, so she went to the garden of Weiyang Palace alone to relax.
Weiyang Palace is very quiet, and it is extremely gorgeous everywhere you look, but the high palace walls cut off everything, framing the sky into squares one after another, which makes people feel a little ridiculous.
Pinching her fingers and calculating that she has been away from Luzhou for almost two months, although the time is not too long than Xi Zhao's trip, but because she has experienced too much, she feels that Chang'an is a place of right and wrong.
A few days ago, Qianxi had been sent to Luzhou by Su Ce, and it happened that Wumu came to say goodbye to her today, seeing that one after another acquaintances had left Chang'an, Bai Jinyu suddenly missed the mountains and rivers of Cuizhu even more, and even felt a little homesick.
The stone path of the garden led to a side hall, the door of the temple was open and unguarded, and Bai Jinyu stepped in aimlessly.
After a few steps inside, I saw a person concentrating on embroidery on the embroidery table by the window. The setting sun slanted through the beautifully carved window lattice, and the brilliant light passed over her beautiful figure, stretching her shadow long on the ground.
She couldn't help but be attracted by the eyes, took two steps forward, and when she got closer, she realized that the woman was actually a queen in her usual clothes.
Hearing the footsteps, the queen raised her head: "It's Lihua!" Are you awake? ”
Bai Jinyu woke up from the pleasing picture, walked forward to greet the queen, and asked curiously: "Why is the queen mother here alone, and there is no one at the door?" ”
The queen smiled and said: "They are not allowed to come to the palace, and the palace will stay here quietly for a while at this time of day." ”
Bai Jinyu felt rude and said, "That'...... The concubine disturbed the queen's mother, and the concubine will retire! As he spoke, he hurriedly turned around.
The queen raised her voice to dissuade: "No, no! Come, it just so happens that no one appreciates the embroidered things in this palace, you come and see! ”
Bai Jinyu nodded happily, walked to the queen's side in a few steps, and tilted her head to look at her work on the embroidery case.
On the embroidery frame of yellow rosewood, there is a thin and transparent silk handkerchief, the center of the silk handkerchief is embroidered with a round of arabesque pattern full moon with gold thread, the moon is full of peony symbolizing wealth, the whole pattern is dense and commensurate, the stitches are neat, and the embroidery is exquisite.
"Niangniang's good craftsmanship, this picture of "Flowers and Full Moon" is rigorous and delicate, thick and round, virtual and decent, it is really ingenious!"
The queen bowed her head slightly embarrassed and smiled: "Lihua really gives face, she is too good at complimenting, but there are a few in this palace, and the comparison between this palace and Shangyi of the Monk Engineering Bureau is simply unsightly." ”
Bai Jinyu said: "Why do you want to compare with them? You can embroider whatever you want, just be happy! Today, His Majesty the Emperor returned to the palace, this "Flower and Full Moon" is exactly the right time, is Niangniang going to give it to Your Majesty? ”
The queen raised her head, a little apprehensive, and then cramped: "No, it's not for Your Majesty, the palace embroiders it for fun." ”
I don't know why, Bai Jinyu felt as if she had said the wrong thing, and she was slightly embarrassed. At this time, there was a footstep outside the door, and after a while, a palace maid stepped in.
When the palace maid saw that Bai Jinyu was also there, she was surprised and saluted, and hurriedly wanted to withdraw.
The queen said to her: "Lihua is not an outsider, don't shy away from it, what are you doing?" ”
Bai Jinyu heard that the queen treated her as her own, and her heart warmed, and she was a little flattered.
The palace maid said: "Niangniang, the slave maid will serve you to bathe and change your clothes as soon as possible, His Majesty the Emperor will definitely be in Weiyang Palace tonight, we should prepare early!" ”
Bai Jinyu saw that the queen was stunned for a moment, and said to the palace maid without thinking: "No need, you pass on the news to the princess, this palace is unwell today, make other arrangements for Your Majesty!" ”
The palace maid looked at the queen in surprise, was stunned for a long time, and asked, "Niangniang, where are you unwell?" ”
This palace maid may not have a friendship with the queen for a day or two, she asked directly, and the queen was not angry at all, but explained: "This palace is also just feeling uncomfortable in the afternoon, you don't care, just go and spread it like this!" ”
The palace maid's face showed an expression of hatred: "Niangniang, you have made a contribution to protecting the palace this time, His Majesty the Emperor should give it to Niangniang on the first night he returned to the palace, why did you push His Majesty out and cheapen that Wu Guifei for nothing?!" ”
The palace maid was probably really anxious, and she didn't care that Bai Jinyu was still there, so she said it so quickly. After she finished speaking, the queen and Bai Jinyu were a little embarrassed, and after condensing for a while, the queen resolutely said: "The palace has made up its mind, you go to pass it on, if you don't talk too much, you will be punished for half a month!" ”
"!" The palace maid complained, saw that the queen actually stomped her feet, and when she saw that she couldn't do it, she turned her head and ran away angrily.
Half a day after she left, Bai Jinyu and the queen didn't know how to break this stiff atmosphere.
"Actually......" Bai Jinyu said dryly: "She is also kind enough to think about her mother." ”
The queen was silent for a moment and said, "I know." But," she paused and sighed, "She didn't see His Majesty's eyes looking at Concubine Wu today. ”
When it came to this, Bai Jinyu was also impressed, and at that time, he also sighed for the queen for a moment in his heart.
"If you follow your heart, the person Your Majesty misses and wants to be close to the most is Wu Guifei." The queen knew it.
Bai Jinyu has never been involved in this kind of relationship between men and women, especially this kind of distribution of many women in one man, and he didn't know how to answer the call because of his inexperience, so he could only respond: "The queen's heart is really good, so understanding and sympathetic to His Majesty the Emperor!" ”
When the words fell, the queen smiled suddenly, and Bai Jinyu laughed inexplicably.
Puzzled, the queen said: "I'm not sympathetic to him, I'm sympathetic to myself." ”
Bai Jinyu looked at the queen incomprehensibly.
The queen looked at Bai Jinyu tenderly and said in a low voice, "You will understand one day." ”
Bai Jinyu wrinkled her eyes, looking completely incomprehensible, she had always prided herself on being a very smart person, but somehow, she really didn't seem to understand the queen's words today.
The queen saw her confusion, smiled slightly, and said, "If your husband came to see you just for a routine business, you watched him wander in front of your eyes, and watched him worry about other women, even ...... At that time...... will call your name someone else," the queen swallowed tightly, and said, "Then you knew that not to force him was actually for your own good." If you don't see it once, you won't get hurt once. “
"Huh?" Bai Jinyu opened her mouth, she never expected the queen to tell her this, and she never expected that the reason why the queen rejected the palace maid was because of this.
