Chapter 019: Retracting the Phoenix Seal
Meng Qing sat in Luanfeng Palace for three days, and he didn't come back to take away Qingqing and those beads, maybe just like her, they were insignificant in his eyes.
So, she put away all her unhappiness, because there were still too many traps for her to drill, and she didn't have time to be sad.
Yi Moxing hurriedly ran back, "Niangniang, your pot slave has already dragged people out, but it's just ...... The guards who guarded the gate collected more money. ”
"I can't bear the child and can't trap the wolf, what do I feel sorry for. However, are people reliable? She believes that as long as the pot is not broken, it will be able to sell in the mall sooner or later.
"Well, look." Yi Mo opened a piece of paper: "This is Yaruixuan's persistence." ”
I saw the red seal of Yaruixuan engraved on the lower left of the dream, and my heart finally touched the ground.
Yaruixuan's things must be treasures, and what they can see has already laid the foundation of value, and her two pots are just for them to buy, but the profits need to be drawn by them.
Even if these two pots are sold at sky-high prices, there is very little money in Mengqing's hands, but this doesn't matter, all she wants is to let the purple clay pot and her name open a way in Yawan business, so that she can facilitate it in the future.
Mengqing came to her workbench and looked at the plum pile pot on it for a moment.
But it was only for a moment, she wrapped the pot with a brocade hand, put it in the bottom cabinet, changed into the dress of a palace maid, and went out with the pot tire made in the morning.
Yi Mo grabbed another hexagonal pot on the table and said in surprise: "Niangniang, this one is also very good, why don't you sell it?" ”
"The spout is high."
"It's high, it's high, and the slave thinks it's good-looking."
"If the spout is high, the tea will overflow."
"Niang Niang knows a lot."
In the Imperial Garden, the flowers that have been moistened by the rain in the past two days are particularly bright, but they are not as bright as someone's deliberately decorated clothes.
"The concubine greets the queen."
A figure like a glow blocked Mengqing's way.
"Get up." Dream said lightly.
"Thank you, Queen Mother." Concubine Xian got up, but a group of more than ten people blocked her way tightly.
Concubine Xian looked at the queen carefully, and suddenly covered her mouth and smiled: "The queen is really diligent, I heard that the emperor is not attached to the maid of the imperial garden, you are still so bothered, it is really well-intentioned." ”
"This palace doesn't want to talk nonsense with you, get out of the way!" Thinking of everything Meng Jinfan suffered in the prison, she couldn't wait to die with this face, a good-looking person, but with such a vicious heart.
"The queen mother really didn't even have the slightest patience, the concubine learned that the emperor returned to the palace, and specially came to inform the queen mother, so as not to miss the opportunity to intercede for the brother Ling, the sister is so attentive to the queen mother, but the queen mother is unwilling to appreciate it, and it is really chilling."
Mengqing naturally heard that the emperor had returned to the palace, but she would not be as reckless as before, seeing that the emperor had to pay attention to timing, not to mention that there was such a thing as a falling city, who knows what kind of "pillow" wind people will blow.
In addition, the emperor must know the news that she forcibly broke into Dali Temple, and I believe that before she is arraigned, the emperor should not be in a hurry to deal with Meng Jinfan, at least Concubine Hui has not made any movement.
Concubine Xian waited for a long time and didn't see the queen reply, and the anger in her heart didn't go out, and she became even more angry.
"If the queen doesn't think about herself, she should also plan for the little prince in your belly, after all, ...... It's not good to be born with sin. ”
"Bold concubine, what crime should you be guilty of insulting the queen mother and the dragon in your belly?" Yimo shouted in front of her, but Concubine Xian was not frightened at all.
Of course she is not afraid, now that the phoenix seal is in her hand, the queen has trespassed into Dali Temple, and the Hou Mansion is involved in corruption, no matter how capable she is, she will not want to turn over.
"Miss Yimo is serious, this palace is just a matter of facts, right, Queen Mother?" She bit the word "queen" hard, and in the future, I am afraid that these two words will only have her Meng Jinyu's aftertaste.
Concubine Jing came from the path, her emerald blue clothes fluttered like a colorful butterfly, and she bowed her head and greeted the queen respectfully: "The queen is auspicious, if my sister is right, the two sisters are talking about Concubine Hui being implicated?" ”
Concubine Xian's eyes were tilted, and she was worthy of half of her eyes: "My sister has good ears." ”
Concubine Jing smiled gently: "It's not that my sister has good ears, but I heard a message from the palace people, saying that King An Ning personally accepted the case, saying that the governor Lord Chen delayed taking bribes and blamed Concubine Hui's father, so Yan Shilang and Meng Cangbu and others were blamed, and now the emperor has decreed that people have been released from prison, and even Concubine Hui's sister has just been released." ”
"What did you say?"
Concubine Xian rushed up directly and grabbed Concubine Jing's collar and questioned.
"Presumptuous!" Meng shouted softly, "She is the same concubine as you, how can you be bullied!" ”
The fingers strangled Concubine Xian's wrist hard, but the palm that was in contact with the mud and sand all day long was extraordinarily strong, and Concubine Xian snorted in pain and had to let go.
But how could Concubine Xian be willing, her brother was so easy to catch the evidence of the Meng family's crime, and he was so easily disturbed?
"It has to be you! You threatened with a dragon, didn't you? Or...... You have an affair with King Anning, otherwise how can King Anning, who has always only been at war, take care of the affairs of the court? Concubine Xian's gaze hit the queen.
Mengqing was even more puzzled in her heart, that day outside the Dali Temple, the tall and mysterious figure echoed in her mind for a long time, always felt a little familiar, but he looked at his gaze, although it was far away, but it made people feel like a man's back, as if she and him were mixed with deep hatred.
The funny thing is that the person who helped her solve the Meng family's unjust case is actually him?
Suppressing the doubts in her heart, Concubine Xian is not allowed to be presumptuous, "Concubine Xian slandered the palace so much, please come up with evidence, by the way, let's say it in front of the emperor, so as not to make people feel that the palace is insidious and calculating." ”
She turned around and changed course.
"You ......" how dare she go to the emperor, not to mention that the emperor doesn't like the harem to discuss the government in vain, but Shicai's unsubstantiated words are enough to make her lose her past grace.
Thinking of this, Concubine Xian had to stop and lean down: "The concubine lost her words, please forgive the queen." ”
"If you know your guilt, then take it."
Concubine Xian's face turned pale: "Queen Mother!" How can you torture your concubines again and again? ”
Meng turned around lightly and looked at her innocently with beautiful eyes: "Did this palace say that it was going to be tortured?" ”
Without waiting for Concubine Xian to breathe a sigh of relief, Meng Qing took two steps forward and stretched out her hand: "Hand over the phoenix seal of the palace, the affairs of this harem are not good for the palace to be tired of Concubine Xian, how can the palace explain to the emperor if you are tired." ”
Concubine Xian raised her head, her delicate face was full of unwillingness.
Meng Qing withdrew his hand: "It seems that it is better to go to see the emperor." ”
"The concubine obeys." Concubine Xian pinched her fingertips fiercely, endured the pain in the deep ravine, and said to Min Shu behind her: "Go and take the phoenix seal and hand it over to the queen." ”
Mengqing smiled with satisfaction, but didn't call her up, so the half-squatting posture was particularly tiring, until Minshu took the phoenix seal back and took it to her hand, then she gave up.
When leaving, she took a deep look at Concubine Jing, and when she saw her smiling at herself with low eyebrows, she couldn't help but think a little more.
After the queen mother walked away, Concubine Xian was full of anger and sent towards Concubine Jing: "It seems that you still didn't get a lesson that day, don't think that if you sell the queen, you can get her care, how many catties and taels can you get in the queen's heart?" ”
Concubine Jing stepped back, her clenched hands trembling constantly: "I don't worry about a few catties and taels in the queen's heart, and I remember the lesson of the day, but it's a pity that my sister hasn't tasted half of the sweetness now, even if she wants her sister to taste the lesson, she has to let her sister give her sister this opportunity." ”
"You ......"
Concubine Xian rushed up and wanted to scratch her face, but her wrist was grabbed by Concubine Jing: "Sister has time to worry about other people's affairs, it's better to go back and think about how to make her belly bulge, sister has to go back and burn incense and pray day and night, bless the queen mother to keep the throne forever, don't let anyone with a heart succeed!" ”
She shook off Concubine Xian's hand fiercely and left with the palace people behind her.
Knowing the uneasy reminder: "Niangniang shouldn't be too sharp, in case the queen doesn't appreciate it, and the concubine is in the limelight again, in the end it's not you?" ”
"Don't be afraid, this palace believes that the day when the great revenge will be avenged is coming." She looked out into the sky, and the sun was breaking out of the heavy clouds.
Turning the corridor, Meng lightly sent Yimo to take the phoenix seal back and put it away, thinking that after having the phoenix seal, she would have to take care of the chores of the harem with a headache, but there was a person in front of her who gave her an even more headache.
A tall figure stood in the center of the courtyard of the cold palace, facing the kiln alone, looking lonely and depressed.
Dream turned around and wanted to leave, but the footsteps were already noticed by the other party.
"Why did you come? Could it be that you are as vulgar as others and want to avoid suspicion? ”
Meng sneered, but didn't turn back: "It's originally a layman, of course you have to avoid suspicion, do you keep your head for the people in the palace to cut off?" "Keep walking.
"Don't go!"
There was suddenly a handful of warmth in his hand, and the thick palm with the thin callus honed by the sword was a little prickly, and the dream struggled lightly, but he didn't break away, and his heart was even more annoyed.
"Your Excellency, please be respectful, the palace is full of the emperor's women, if you give me the charge of filthy palace, I can't afford it."
"Okay, I'll let go, can you talk to me for a while?" He sent some force, "Just for a moment." ”
"Outside the door, five steps away."
The corners of Xiao Yiheng's lips, which had been tense for a day, overflowed with a slight smile, and he also let go of the hand holding her.
Mengqing didn't look at him, and turned to the kiln to make a fire and burn the coffin.
Xiao Yiheng glanced at her body, although she was wearing regular clothes, she didn't deliberately hide her identity, but she didn't even give herself a look, and this identity actually had a bad day.
"Did you boil the pot last time?"
Meng Qing carefully placed the pot on the stove rack and closed the kiln door, "I'm afraid you didn't come here today to talk about this, right?" Dream asked tentatively.
According to her feelings, this person is not the King of Tranquility, his body is slightly burly compared to that day, and the aura of his whole body is not right, cold, but there is less violent aura.
"Huh." Xiao Yiheng smiled lowly, "I'm just a little upset, and I want to talk to someone who is not afraid of me." ”
"Then you're looking for the wrong person, I'm scared."
"But why didn't I feel it at all?"
Dream carefully observed the flame, the kiln temperature must be enough to successfully fire the purple clay pot, there is no low groove mud, you can only rely on the temperature and the shape of the coffin, in order to burn out the eye.
Seeing that she really didn't want to pay attention to herself, Xiao Yiheng couldn't say how disappointed she was, but she didn't want to leave, so she sat on the threshold like a fool and nagged to herself.
"Do you say that in the world, is love or power important? Those in power will be unkind, and those who value love will find it difficult to control their own hearts. Hehe, I thought I had done it, but it was like a knife scraping my heart. ”
In the summer, squatting next to the kiln is not something that ordinary people can bear, there is no electric kiln here, firewood must be added manually, and it will take a day and a night to get out of the kiln, no matter how skilled the master is, he may not be able to succeed.
Behind him, he said coldly: "Do you think the emperor is lonely?" ”
Dream added a clenched hand suddenly: "Talking about the holy word, I think I will lose my head quickly." ”
"You're really afraid of death."
"Life is easy to get, why don't you cherish it."
"Tell me, anyway, this is the Cold Palace, except for you and me, there is not even a ghost."
Why not, Yimo will come back later, but why did he send a phoenix seal for so long?
