Chapter 21: Hanging by a Thread (1)
"Huh?" The man stopped abruptly, glanced at Yuan Ge intently, and then walked away.
'It's all like this, big brother, you're gone now, I'm very faceless. Thinking of this, Yuan Ge quickly ran to the door, closed the door hard, and blocked the door with his body.
"Lord, now that you are gone, the gossip in the palace tomorrow should turn into Ge'er to provoke Long Yan, which is not beneficial to our plan..."
"Oh? Then Concubine Jing personally waited for me to change my clothes and wash up. Chonghuai tried to push the woman's body to the side, but the woman was firmly guarding the door of the house, and there was a posture of looking at death as home. The random man glanced down at Yuan Ge, smiled helplessly, and said arrogantly.
"Well, the concubine will come later." After the man finished speaking, Yuan Ge immediately took action.
Chong Huai followed Yuan Ge's steps to the kitchen, speaking of which, this is the first time Chong Huai has come to this kind of place, I have to admit that Chong Huai was moved by the warmth of this scene.
I saw that the woman was busy with the hot water in the boiler for a while, and then she was burning wood, as if she was going to make a side dish. The wide sleeves of the concubine seemed to have caused a lot of trouble for the woman, and the woman frowned, beads of sweat hanging on her cheeks.
"Idiot." Chong Huai stepped forward and rolled up the woman's wide sleeves, and the sleeves were on her arms, which was indeed a lot more convenient.
"Your lord, you are really smart." The man was delicate and gentle, and Yuan Ge immediately let out a rainbow fart touting. This wave of operations really made Chonghuai's heart feel good, completely forgetting the little episode just now.
In this way, the two of them were like ordinary husbands and wives, the husband burned firewood, and the wife cooked, and they were happy and happy.
"Lord of the country, try the craftsmanship of the concubines." At this moment, sitting at the table begging for praise, it is Yuan Ge who has no concubine posture. And Chonghuai, the man was sitting aside, looking at the plate in front of him with disgust, full of color and flavor, oh no, it was a green vegetable with no color and fragrance.
"Do I have to eat it?" Chonghuai pinched his nose, frowned, and looked like he refused.
"Hey, how can this be, you said you wanted to eat, I did it hard! No way! You have to eat, ah..."Yuan Ge saw Chong Huai's expression of refusal, his little temper instantly rose, and he even picked up a chopstick and fed it to Chong Huai's eyes.
"Ahem, ahem... Are you going to poison me, I want to tell the prime minister and let him discipline his daughter well, cough cough cough!!..." Why do I eat it!! Hell yes! ’
"Hehe, if you don't know how to cook, you won't be good at cooking, you will improve in the future, if you're not afraid of the civil and military officials laughing at you like a child, just go and sue." Yuan Ge then cocked Erlang's legs, looked indifferent, picked up the almond crisp sent by Mama Zhao during the day and ate it.
"Hey! Leave me a little almond crisp, don't eat it all..."Seeing this, Chonghuai actually stepped forward to grab it.
"This was made for me by Mama Zhao! You are not allowed to eat! ”
"Mama Zhao was given to you by me! Little without conscience! ”
The two of them are talking about each other, how can they still look like an emperor and a concubine, but they are not two children.
One day, in front of Cining Palace, the Queen Mother and all the concubines.
"You said that the Queen Mother and her old man devoted themselves to worshiping the Buddha, and they have never heard anything from the window, how could they call us here with such fanfare today." Gu Jie.
"Who knows, we have been idle since we entered the palace, and we have always just listened to plays, drank tea, and enjoyed flowers, where is there anything wrong, and it is worthy of the Queen Mother's personal reprimand." Xiao Yu Ruan.
"Sister, this is not right, it is our sisters who are not blessed, but the concubine Jing Niangniang accompanies the lord of the country every day, this is to go to the hunting ground, tomorrow I will swim in the lake, the lord of the country is favored, even a sister who has been pampered for many years has fallen, not to mention how much taste it is." Xiao Yuxiao answered, smiling, the Xiao sisters, they simply sang and sang harmoniously to introduce the spearhead into Yuan Ge.
"That little slut!" Gu Jie really had a temper, and he exploded in a few words, still in front of the Queen Mother.
"Is that enough? If you don't have the ability to make the lord of the country happy, then shut up! The Queen Mother is still chanting inside, but you are jealous in front of her door, and there is no law at all. Hui nobles are now nobles, why are they still so unruly?! And Concubine Ke, you are an old man, why are you so ignorant! I want this palace to ask a teacher to teach you two rules! After a reprimand, in front of all the minions, Ji Ran scolded happily, leaving no thin face.
"Yes, the concubines follow the queen's teachings..."The Xiao sisters and Gu Jie had to bow their heads and confess, and they were not convinced. Ji Ran's tone was faint, but it seemed to contain everything, revealing a luxurious atmosphere in the coldness.
"This queen is really different." Yuan Ge, who was witnessing everything in the corner, sighed
"Why is it different, just a few words for you?" Chong Huai looked at Yuan Ge with interest and asked.
"It's just different, it's different from other women." Yuan Ge had never expressed such an obvious affection for a woman, let alone a woman in the palace.
"Really? Since Concubine Jing and the queen are so close to each other, it is better that when the queen recites the Buddha every day in the future, Concubine Jing will wait for the Buddha by her side. Chong Huai looked at Yuan Ge, who had starry eyes, snickered, and then shouted, and for a while, the two became the focus of the audience.
'What do you want to play with...' Sensing everyone's gaze, Yuan Ge had to smile, straighten his clothes slightly, raise his head, and slowly walked over behind Chonghuai.
"The lord of the country is healthy, and Concubine Jing is healthy." Seeing this, all the concubines saluted one after another.
"I've seen Niangniang, just now the lord of the country mentioned to the concubine that Niangniang sincerely worships the Buddha, the concubine is happy and convinced, and the heart yearns for it, so the lord of the country allows the concubine to accompany the concubine to accompany the Niangniang, and I hope that the concubine will not dislike the concubine for being stupid." Yuan Ge frequently walked to Ji Ran's side, saluted with a few salutes, and then slowly got up, the peiyu on his waist made a jingling sound, crisp and moving.
Everyone looked at Yuan Ge's flattering appearance and rolled their eyes.
'This kind of favor and grace is simply more beautiful than being a queen, why should this concubine be subservient to others? The queen is not happy, where to leave, she may be the next middle palace, why bother to be that humble concubine? It's really unproductive...'
"I'm afraid that the Buddha worship is too boring and boring, my sister is still young, and I'm afraid I won't be able to understand the Dharma, but it's okay, take your time..." Ji Ran smiled slightly, his eyes were full of tenderness.
'Sister, is it Sister?' What a familiar feeling...' Yuan Ge looked at Ji Ran's eyes for the first time, so gentle, like Sister A, in the past, no matter what she did wrong, Sister A would gently tell Yuan Ge that it didn't matter, take your time...
"That concubine will go to Kunning Palace tomorrow to ask for forgiveness."
"Then the main palace is waiting for you."
...
What's going on?? The queen of the main palace is so kind to her favorite concubine, shouldn't the two be competing against each other? What is this harmony? Just when everyone was still immersed in confusion, Mama Zhang, who was next to the Queen Mother, came to deliver the decree and announced that everyone would go to the court.
"You say, is it because of me that the Queen Mother came out of this Buddha Hall?" Yuan Ge listened, quietly slipped back to Chonghuai's side, stood on tiptoe and whispered in his ear.
"Maybe, Concubine Jing, it's your turn." A smile appeared at the corner of Chonghuai's mouth, "I believe in you, you can." ”
Who needs that trust?!! ’
"I have seen the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother is always happy, and she is healthy every year." Bend over, choke your hands, nod your head, kneel on your knees, and bow three times and buckle nine buttons. This is the first time that the concubines have entered the palace to meet the Queen Mother, and everyone has naturally changed their previous looks, each strict and solemn, and knows etiquette and people.
"Let's all get up, we will all serve the emperor in the future, you don't have to be so polite, cough cough..."The queen mother in the high hall was blocked by a bead curtain, through the bead curtain, Yuan Ge quietly watched, the queen mother behind the bead curtain wore a dark red embroidered pipa sleeve double dragon playing with bead brocade, and her hair was tied in a simple bun, I don't know if it was because of the Buddha, she did not insert any gold ornaments, and her ears were hung with inlaid beryl earrings.
Although you can't see your face, you can still feel the majesty.
"Queen, come." Through the bead curtain, the Queen Mother stretched out her hand to summon Ji Ran to go, and Ji Ran slowly got up and walked in.
Through the bead curtain, everyone saw Ji Ran bending down slightly, the Queen Mother didn't know what to say to her, when Ji Ran got up, she was obviously a little surprised, slightly flustered, and then sighed and said, "Yes." ”
The air was quiet again, and everyone didn't dare to come out, and Chong Huai also sat aside, playing with the ring on his thumb, expressionless and not urging.
"The queen mother has a reward, and the little masters can return to the palace on their own." After a while, Mama Zhang walked out, the announcement was over, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, just as Yuan Ge put his mind at ease and planned to leave quickly, Mama Zhang said: "Concubine Jing, the Queen Mother is invited." ”
"Yes."
Cining Palace, Inner Room, Queen Mother, Yuan Ge Duo.
"Meet the Queen Mother." Yuan Ge saluted cautiously and knelt on the ground, not daring to look directly at the Queen Mother's gaze.
"This is the daughter of Prime Minister Yuan, the daughter of the country personally selected by the mourning family that day..."The Queen Mother spoke slowly, slowly and heavily, making it impossible to detect what she was thinking.
"Thank you to the Queen Mother for your love that day, concubine..."
"Since you know that it is to carry love, is this how you repay the mourning family?!"
...
The imperial study, full of Huai.
"Ling An, report quickly, this palace wants to see the lord of the country. Immediately! Right away! At this moment, in front of the imperial study, a calm and self-contained Ji Ran hurriedly broke in.
"Niangniang, the lord of the country is discussing with Lord Shangshu, I'm afraid I won't see you for a while and a half, you might as well ..."Ling An was also seeing Ji Ran for the first time, and he couldn't say the words of refusal.
"Then I'm sorry for Mr. Ling!" Ji Ran seemed to have made up his mind, "Come on, take it for me!" With an order, the guards beside Ji Ran immediately took down Ling An. Yes, these guards are the generals personally trained by General Yunhui when he went to the battlefield, and they were left for Ji Ran's protection.
"Niangniang, what are you..."Ling An was taken aback.
"Lord of the country, you personally caused the trouble, and you plan to push a woman out to take the blame?!" Ji Ran broke into the imperial study, and sure enough, it was the same as what he thought, where was there any Lord Shangshu, but he was just one person.
"Yuan Ge's life hangs by a thread, you still have the heart to paint? When exactly will this game come to an end? Do we women have to be buried for the royal family? Ji Ran's anger for so many years seemed to explode in an instant, and Yuan Ge seemed to be another Ji Ran.
"Queen, you're overdoing it." Chong Huai listened to Ji Ran finish saying everything, and then said lightly, and then painted.
"Queen, Queen, am I really willing to be this queen? I'm so boring about this queen! ”
When Ji Ran and everyone rushed to Cining Palace, he saw the lost Yuan Ge walking towards Zhaoyang Palace step by step. Ji Ran followed her footsteps to the gate of Zhaoyang Palace.
"Mama, I'm so cold..."Yuan Ge, who didn't know what happened, fell down when he saw Mama Zhao, his face was pale, his body trembled, and his mouth was so cold.
