Chapter 060: The Looking Forward
What makes Mengqing unexpected is that the jade really has an extraordinary effect, Qingqing said, the three-life stone can ward off evil things, remove miasma, and even heal injuries.
"Can you live forever?"
Almost impatiently, she asked such a question, and the harmful Qingqing almost fell off her head.
"How is it possible, I am still a divine beast, and I will not live forever."
Meng Qing raised his hand and poked the little guy in his hair: "Teasing you, I'll polish it into a few jade pendants when I go back, what kind of good one will I make for you?" Just the bell. β
Qingqing immediately stopped looking, grabbed her hair and resisted fiercely: "I don't want a bell, I still have to grow up, how naΓ―ve it will be to wear a bell when the time comes." β
"Yo Yo Yo, our little Qingqing still knows what childishness is."
"Humph!"
Yimo watched Niangniang, a man and a beast, fighting in the shade of the tree, covering her lips and snickering, but the little Peizi with the tray kept bowing there.
The sun in the near autumn became more and more scorching, and after a while, Xiao Peizi's clothes were soaked, but the queen mother didn't say anything, he could only stand still with the tray.
"Niangniang, Uncle Wu's Ejiao......" he reminded with a bitter face.
Mengqing was deliberate, and he couldn't bear it anymore, so Yimo accompanied him by the kiln all night, tired and bitter, and never complained.
"Since it is Uncle Wu's intention, this palace has to prepare a return gift."
Xiao Peizi's small eyes suddenly brightened: "What is Niangniang going to go back?" β
"What do you think?"
"Hehe, the minion thinks ......"
Dream glanced at him, but that glance was like quenching poison, and he almost couldn't stand on his feet, and what he wanted to say was stuck back in his stomach.
She retracted her gaze, raised her head and forgot to look at the sky and sighed: "It's not too early, go back to the palace for lunch." β
It's just that he didn't expect that Xiao Yiheng waited at the door of Luanfeng Palace without changing his court clothes, it seemed that he came directly from the early court, but what was going on with his gloomy face, as if someone else owed him hundreds of dollars.
The thought of these rules of the court simply tired her to death, but she had to obey them.
The hands are gently folded on the ventral side: "The concubine gives the emperor ......"
"What do you mean?!"
Almost gritted his teeth, those eyes were burning with fire at the moment, and he wanted to burn the dream to ashes in an instant.
She looked at it in surprise, and simply retracted the salute action, and her voice was unwavering: "The concubine didn't know what made the emperor angry, and asked the emperor to explain." β
Xiao Yiheng raised his hand suddenly, pointed in front of her with trembling fingertips for a long time, glanced at the slave who was kneeling on the ground outside, and flicked his sleeves into the room.
Meng glanced at Yi Mo, who was getting up, and said in surprise: "Where did this palace offend him?" β
There are some things that the slave and maid see far better than the master, otherwise she would not have repeatedly said good things about the emperor when the queen mother came back, but it's a pity......
"Niangniang, it's good to ask yourself, it may be that the court is not going well, which makes the emperor embarrassed."
Dream nodded lightly, feeling that what Yimo said was reasonable, but the look in her eyes always made people feel that she was perfunctory.
Entering the inner room, the bright yellow figure sat in front of the bed, with his hands on his knees, his lips pursed, like a child who has a temper with his parents.
Yimo cautiously came in with the tea, and when she saw the queen mother taking it in person, she immediately threw herself to the ground with gratitude.
Meng poured a cup lightly and brought it to Xiao Yiheng, and his tone was particularly respectful: "Your Majesty, please drink tea." β
He turned his face away and snorted softly through his nose.
"The tea is a little hot, so it's just right to dry it for a while before drinking." Turning around and putting it aside, Wu found a chair to sit down, picked up a pen and wrote and drew on the small table, all of which were her latest teapot styles.
In the quiet room, the sound of breathing became heavier and heavier, like a pressure cooker holding its breath.
Xiao Yiheng looked at the woman whose heart was like water, he was sulking here, she was very leisurely, but ......
In the end, he couldn't help it, and spoke first: "Don't you ask me why I'm angry?" β
Mengqing added another stroke, turned back in surprise, and his tone did not fluctuate at all: "Why is the emperor angry?" β
"You ......" Xiao Yiheng almost vomited blood, is this a concubine's attitude towards the emperor? Even an ordinary woman shouldn't turn a deaf ear to her husband like this!
The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, he rushed to her in two steps, "I have worked so hard to find you back, and you have to give it to Concubine Zhen, what kind of heart do you have?" β
Meng Qing finally threw away the homemade carbon paintbrush in his hand and stood up from the chair, with an innocent expression: "Dare to love the emperor because of this, your temper is unreasonable, this draft is the rule of the ancestors, what is wrong with the concubine as the queen should preside over the operation?" β
Xiao Yiheng, who was blocked by those sincere eyes, couldn't even say a word, and clenched his fists fiercely with his two hands.
Meng lowered his eyes lightly, naturally noticed his every move, and stuffed the tea that was almost dried on the small table into his hand: "Roses are added to it, soothing the liver and relieving depression, you are busy in the previous dynasty, and you are irritable The concubines understand, there are only a few concubines in this harem, you have been on the throne for three years, and you don't even have a prince, doesn't it make everyone in the ministers of the previous dynasty put themselves in danger?" β
These words, it sounded a little good for him, and then looked at the tea in his hand, and his chest didn't seem to be so angry, but ......
"You're pregnant, and I can't spare that much energy to deal with a messy woman, so why bother."
Meng glared at him with disgust: "When you enter the palace, you are all the emperor's women, how can you call it messy, to put it bluntly, they are all your wives, intimate people who share the same bed." β
This sentence made the tea that Xiao Yiheng was about to eat suddenly become bitter and unpalatable, and tried his best to clarify the facts: "My wife is only you!" β
Meng nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, but the concubine is also a family." "The ancients were very clear about the division of wives and concubines, and they must not be confused, and only the queen was called the wife.
He put the tea on the small table and took her hand, clearly with a tough face, but at the moment his face was full of grievances: "Yu'er, I don't know how to cherish the past, but now, I only have you in my heart, and the child in your belly, I don't want any woman to intervene between you and me, don't you know, just now I heard the news that you are going to give me a concubine, how much pain in my heart, can you bear to push me into the arms of another woman?" β
Meng Qing didn't rush to withdraw his hand, and calmly met his gaze: "Isn't what the concubine did the emperor once hoped for the most?" β
The big palm outside the white fine and soft water suddenly froze, and the coldness spread from the fingertips to the back.
Dream pulled away his hand, picked up the paintbrush and continued to draw the drawing, his voice was deep and long: "You waited until you once hoped for it, but you lost the surprise, if you get the surprise, you are destined to lose the hope of the past." β
This sentence, like a steel needle, pierced Xiao Yiheng's mind.
He tugged at the corners of his lips, only turning into pieces of bitterness that spread from the tip of his heart to his throat, yes, today's thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, today's virtuous queen, what is he not satisfied with?
Yimo came in from outside, and when she saw such an indifferent Niangniang, she couldn't help but swallow her saliva, how could she think that Niangniang was insidious and terrible, so that the emperor could leave in a hurry in a hurry.
Meng lightly dropped the last stroke, got up satisfied, raised his hand and knocked on her head: "The expression betrayed you." "I hope that there will be a few of the show girls who can handle the heavy responsibilities this time, and she will take the opportunity to get out when the time comes.
Took out the stale mud from the big vat in the firewood room, shaped it into a coffin, and when it was brought to the small kiln in the cold palace, it was already about to set at sunset.
Just as he was about to start a fire, there was the sound of dishes breaking and the woman's wail.
"Let this palace go out, this palace is the most favored concubine, why do you lock up this palace and let this palace out......"
If it weren't for her noisy headache, Dream would have almost forgotten that there was such a person closed.
She walked over, and across the railing, a face so haggard that she couldn't recognize lay in front of the window, her hair scattered was dry and yellow, and the whole person was like a female ghost crawling out of the well.
She chuckled: "Do you still want to get the emperor's favor like this?" β
"Who? Who's there? β
Concubine Xian stared hard from the window railing, and finally saw the figure at the corner door that did not match her identity.
Only this time, she instantly lost her previous arrogance, as if she saw a savior, and begged eagerly: "Queen Mother, please let me out, Queen Mother, those poisonous snakes are really not released by me, I swear, if the poisonous snakes are released by me, I will never be favored by the emperor again." β
"You're no longer graceful." Dream laughed softly, she really didn't mean to hit her, who made her swear so ridiculous.
It depends on Concubine Xian herself who was stimulated by that stupid words: "Oh, yes, now that I have been sent to the cold palace, how can the emperor still favor me." β
The hand grasping the railing gradually slid down, and he didn't even notice that the rough wooden thorns were digging into the flesh's hand.
Suddenly, she got up suddenly, her eyes were almost crazy: "But the poisonous snake really has nothing to do with me, I just wanted to go to the heavenly prison to humiliate you, how could I mutilate the emperor's flesh and bones!" β
"But the person who framed this palace for fornicating with someone last time was indeed you." She kindly reminded her that she held a grudge.
Concubine Xian's eyes dodged, "Since the queen mother knows, why don't you settle accounts with the concubines at that time?" β
Because you have a brother with high skills. Mengqing didn't bother to talk nonsense with her, and turned around to go to the kiln.
"Queen Mother!"
Concubine Xian's urgent call came from behind her again, as if she was afraid that the queen would not pay attention to her at all, and Concubine Xian urgently emphasized: "It's Concubine Hui!" She's always coveted the back position, so it must be her! β
Isn't this woman stupid, "Then you remember, the person who caused you to be imprisoned in the cold palace was Concubine Hui, don't find the wrong person and fire at will." β
"Fire? What fire? "Concubine Xian didn't understand.
Mengqing doesn't expect her to move, in short, it can disturb the order in the palace, so that she can take advantage of the opportunity to leave.
Mengqing's two palms struck loudly: "Come on, let Concubine Xian come out." β
The little eunuch at the gate of the palace thought it was very bad, so he plucked out his ears vigorously, and did not forget to remind: "Queen Mother, it was the emperor who personally called the cold palace." β
"This palace can't be the master of this harem?" Her voice sank abruptly, and she squinted over with the majesty of the superior.
When the little eunuch thought of the emperor's heart for the queen's mother, his heart was horizontal, and he simply let him go.
Concubine Xian is indeed like a female ghost, and the clothes on her body have not changed for a long time, and the smell of rancid smell caused a group of flies to buzz in order to pass.
She bombarded left and right, such a humiliating scene was not even dreamed, and now ......
She came to Mengqing and kowtowed three times in a row: "Concubine Queen Xie is considerate, Queen Xie is considerate, Queen Xie." β
Yimo threw the firewood on the ground and looked at her master angrily: "Niangniang......
How could Meng Qing not know her thoughts, poked her head and said: "Uncle Xiao Guo and the Queen Mother intend to exonerate Concubine Xian, the tone is like this, why don't you sell your personal favor in this palace, kill two birds with one stone, you say, right?" β
Yimo was still in the clouds, but when she heard the end, she slapped her thigh, eager to wrap her master and kiss her: "Niangniang is simply a female Zhuge in the middle!" β
