Chapter 220: Difficulty
Wu Bijun only came back from the crown princess's palace late at night.
Her maidservant Xiao Tao hurriedly welcomed Wu Bijun into the house.
"Side concubine, did the crown princess make things difficult for you?"
Wu Bijun shook his head.
If it is difficult, the crown princess really does not. It's just that what she lets herself do, one accidentally will be shattered.
"Concubine Fang, why did the crown princess suddenly summon you?" Xiao Tao had a worried look on her face.
Wu Bijun was silent for a while, and then said, "Help me find a way to deliver a message to the palace maid in front of the queen." β
Wu Bijun's words are clueless.
Xiao Tao was stunned, and said with a look of embarrassment: "Concubine Side, do you mean the sisters who followed the queen into the palace?" β
Wu Bijun nodded: "It doesn't matter if it's a mandarin duck or an amber, in short, you have to hand over the news in." β
Xiao Tao felt that her concubine was confused, and she said weakly: "But we can't talk to the people of Qianyuan Hall at all." β
Wu Bijun stroked his forehead, why did he forget that the little peach in front of him was careless. She said, "Forget it, I'll do it myself." β
Since the crown princess has decided to use herself, even if it is to entrap herself, she will withdraw the surveillance of the Autumn Frost Palace.
As for the prince, who regarded himself as an invisible man, he would not pay attention to his whereabouts at all.
Looking at it this way, she can completely leave the East Palace without knowing or noticing.
"Little Peach, I'll go out tomorrow. If someone comes to me, they say I have a cold. β
Wu Bijun thought that she still had to do this matter in person to feel at ease.
β¦β¦
Xie Yanhe slept until he woke up naturally.
She habitually touched the pillow, and to her surprise, the person around her was gone.
Xie Yanhe opened his eyes in a daze, and asked outside the gauze tent, "What time is it?" β
Qu Linglong lifted the gauze curtain and said with a smile: "It's time to return to the queen's mother." Your Majesty saw that you were sleeping soundly, so she did not let the slaves and maidservants disturb you. β
Last night, Wei Zhao kept his promise and didn't touch her, and Xie Yanhe was able to sleep well, but his bones were still a little loose when he first woke up.
"Where has Your Majesty gone?" Xie Yanhe supported himself with his hands, looked at the breakfast on the table and frowned.
"Queen Qiyu, Zhang Xiang has something important to do, Your Majesty has gone to the Heart Cultivation Palace, let you eat alone." Feng Ying said on the side.
Xie Yanhe lazily said "oh", and the tooth cuff in his hand poked at the ice jade mille-feuille cake on the plate, looking like he had a poor appetite.
Seeing this, Feng Ying gave a few orders to the palace maid, and asked people to quickly withdraw the table.
He cautiously asked, "What does Niang Niang want to use?" The servant then ordered the imperial dining room to do it. β
Xie Yanhe wants to eat Xiangyunlou's mutton dumplings and ice jade mille-feuille cakes, if she is still in the Hou Mansion, she only needs to send someone to buy them. But now in the palace, everything is inconvenient.
Xie Yanhe was a little unmotivated.
"Put a bowl of vegetarian porridge in the main palace, and take the rest down."
Feng Ying didn't dare to seriously give the queen a bowl of vegetarian porridge to drink, if His Majesty knew, he would have to be punished.
"Niangniang, a new batch of Liao cucumbers from Liaodong is being tributed, and the slave asks the imperial chef to add it to the porridge for you, and then give you a bowl of eel noodles, what do you think?"
Feng Ying said cautiously.
Xie Yan and those who had no intention of embarrassing the service nodded without embarrassment.
When Xie Yanhe finished breakfast, Mandarin Duck saw that she was not in high spirits and proposed to go for a walk in the imperial garden.
Xie Yanhe was noncommittal. She inadvertently swept the maids' implied expectant eyes, and then nodded slightly.
"The slave maid greets the queen."
The female officer in charge of the imperial garden had already received the notice, and when she saw that the queen had arrived, she stepped forward to salute very courteously.
"Let's be flat." Xie Yanhe raised his hand.
The female official hurriedly showed a respectful smile and said softly: "Queen Mother, there are a few peacocks in the imperial garden, do you want to go and take a look?" β
Xie Yanhe rejected the kindness of the female official: "The palace is just going around casually, and there is no need to move the people." β
The female officer will understand.
The queen mother means that she doesn't want so many people to follow.
Although the female official was annoyed that she had lost the opportunity to show her face in front of the queen, she did not dare to continue to stay, and if she angered the queen, it would be worth the loss.
The female officer retired with a good acquaintance.
Xie Yanhe pointed to a clump of hostas next to the rockery and said: "This hosta is blooming beautifully, and a few bushes have been planted outside the Qianyuan Palace, and the mood is good." β
Feng Ying hurriedly responded, and then said: "Queen Mother, do you want to plant a few more clumps of jewel jasmine and tea plum, just the hosta flowers look a little monotonous." β
Xie Yanhe was stunned, then squinted and smiled: "I didn't expect Gonggong Feng to be an elegant person, just according to what you said." β
"Where can the slave bear the word 'elegance', this is all the face you give the slave face." Feng Ying hurriedly said humbly.
Xie Yanhe smiled slightly, glanced at the other side of the rockery, and squinted: "Is that the concubine Wu of the East Palace?" It's a coincidence. β
When Feng Ying heard this, she glanced in the direction of Xie Yanhe, and said flatteringly: "Niangniang has good eyesight." It's just that this Concubine Wu has always lived in a simple place, and she hasn't even stepped out of her own Autumn Frost Hall a few times, but today she suddenly got up to visit the garden. β
Although Feng Ying knew that Concubine Wu did not have the ability to calculate the queen's mother at all, she still gave Xie Yanhe a wake-up call.
Xie Yanhe bowed his head, turned his head to the mandarin duck and ordered, "Go and invite Concubine Wu to come over." β
Feng Ying is well-intentioned, but Concubine Wu is even more a smart person, and she suddenly appeared in the garden, so she could only try her luck. So who is she waiting for, the answer is already coming out.
After a while, the mandarin duck led Concubine Wu to him.
Concubine Wu hurriedly knelt down and saluted: "Concubine to the queen mother, please say goodbye." β
"Concubine Wu, let's be flat."
The chamberlain moved a chair, Xie Yanhe sat down, and the four palace maids stood on either side of her, playing the fan and shading the sun.
Wu Bijun stood up, with a low brow.
Xie Yanhe glanced at it leisurely and said casually: "Why isn't there a person by your side?" But the minions who serve you are too naughty? β
"Returning to the queen's mother, it was the concubine herself who was impatient and the slave followed."
Although most of the people in her palace are high and low, Wu Bijun still excuses the servants in her palace.
Honestly, Wu Bijun doesn't have the confidence to let the current queen make decisions for herself.
The side concubine sounds noble, but she is only one level higher than the royal minions.
If he really sues in front of the queen, let's not say whether the princess will clean herself up, but a frivolous reputation will never escape.
"You are a high-grade side concubine, this temperament can't be too soft." Xie Yanhe frowned and said.
These twists and turns of the people below naturally can't escape Xie Yanhe's eyes.
Wu Bijun is not favored in front of the prince, and the princess is an intolerable person, and she doesn't know how many grievances she has suffered in private.
But the parties themselves don't care, and Xie Yanhe doesn't bother to come out.
"The concubine obeys the teachings of the queen." Wu Bijun gave a blessing, looking submissive.
Seeing this, Xie Yanhe sneered secretly.
This is a way to protect yourself.
"Queen Mother, on the way over the concubine, I saw a camellia on the other side of the Water Pavilion blooming very well, Queen Mother, do you want to go over and have a look."
Xie Yanhe raised his eyebrows.
Wu Bijun's words were a little out of proportion.
But she nodded face-saving anyway.
"The mandarin ducks are here to serve, and the rest are waiting here." Xie Yanhe stood up and stayed with Feng Ying.
Although Feng Ying was worried, she didn't dare to refute her, so she could only watch the queen mother walk away holding the mandarin duck's hand.
Wu Bijun was silent all the way until she walked to the water pavilion, and she suddenly knelt on the ground.
"Queen Mother, Bijun has something important to report." Wu Bijun did not call himself a "concubine" at this time, but secretly drew a line between himself and the East Palace.
Since Xie Yanhe came out with Wu Bijun, she guessed that Wu Bijun had something to say, she was not surprised at all at the moment, and said calmly on her face: "Say it." β
"Yes, Queen." Wu Bijun lowered his voice and said in a voice that only two people could hear: "A female official in the East Palace is pregnant. The crown princess didn't know where she got the news, and knew that the concubine could make incense, so she asked the concubine to prepare a fragrance recipe that could cause people to have a miscarriage. β
"Did the crown princess say how to give out this strange smell?" Xie Yan and a pair of peach blossom eyes flashed.
Chen Rong would fight the idea of that female official, Xie Yanhe was not surprised. Xie Yan and the strange thing is, why did Chen Rong suddenly become smarter?
"The concubine is incompetent, so I haven't inquired about it for the time being."
Wu Bijun thought of the palace maid who had been serving behind the crown princess yesterday, and did not ignore this very inconspicuous detail, her moth brows furrowed slightly, as if she was thinking seriously.
"The crown princess recently promoted a palace maid, it seems that her name is Wei Zisu, and it is said that she is very embarrassed in front of the crown princess. The concubine suspected that this palace maid was the military advisor of the crown princess. β
"Since this palace maid can let the crown princess hit you with her idea, you should be careful in the future."
Wu Bijun was sent to the East Palace by Xie Yan and the single-handedly planner. In the suspicious case of the princess's abortion, Xie Yanhe had a life-saving grace for her, such a nail was pierced in the East Palace, Xie Yanhe was reluctant to waste it like this.
"Queen Mother, please save Bijun's life."
Wu Bijun's eyes were a little sour, she held back her tears and kowtowed to Xie Yanhe.
Since being carried into the East Palace, Wu Bijun's life has been like walking on thin ice, standing on the edge of the cliff several times. If it weren't for the queen mother in front of her who pulled herself, she would have been gone.
Whether it is kindness or interests, Wu Bijun knows that her net worth and life are all firmly tied to the queen's body, and life and death are all in her thoughts.
"If you don't help Chen Rong, she will kill people; You helped her, but you still can't escape this ending. β
Xie Yanhe pinched down a camellia from the branch, and the snow-white thousand-leaf white tea bloomed between her white jade fingers, and she couldn't tell whether the petals were whiter or her snow-like skin was whiter.
Looking at Xie Yanhe's breezy expression, Wu Bijun's face instantly turned as white as paper.
She said in a trembling voice: "If the queen mother feels embarrassed, Bijun ...... Bijun doesn't want this life. β
Wu Bijun said this, she was still scared in her heart, she didn't hold back, a tear fell on the hem of her skirt, revealing a light fragrant concubine color.
Xie Yan raised his eyebrows with a pair of picturesque eyebrows, and said slowly, "When did this palace say that it wouldn't help you?" β
Wu Bijun raised her head in disbelief, obviously only for a moment, but she had experienced a span from hell to heaven.
Wu Bijun trembled her lips, and her heart gave birth to a joy like the rest of her life, even though her city was deep and her life was at stake, she said incoherently: "Bijun thank the queen mother." Sometime...... In the future, Bijun is willing to go to the soup for the queen's mother......"
"Stop." The corners of Xie Yanhe's lips curled slightly, crumpled the petals of the thousand leaf white tea little by little, and said slowly: "What does this palace want you to do in the soup?" β
"Bijun knows that there are countless people who are willing to serve the queen mother."
Wu Bijun gradually calmed down, and her expression was solemn: "But Bijun is not an ungrateful person. If Bijun can't repay your great kindness in this life, he is willing to marry a grass ring in the next life......"
"What kind of person you are, this palace naturally knows." Xie Yanhe was impatient to listen to Wu Bijun's loyal words, and directly interrupted.
These clichΓ©s have long been out of novelty for Xie Yanhe.
"Since the crown princess has a life, you might as well plan it."
Xie Yanhe said.
Her delicate and rippling eyes were filled with a hint of murder, and her sweet and glutinous voice was as cold as a collision of gold and stone.
"The one in Qin Xueshu's stomach can't be kept by either a man or a woman."
If Qin Xueshu was born as a boy, the position of the crown prince would be more and more stable. Even if she gave birth to a girl, it means that there is nothing wrong with the prince. In this case, sooner or later there will be a royal grandson in the East Palace.
For those courtiers who were loyal to the crown prince, it was nothing less than a reassurance.
This is by no means the result that Xie Yanhe wants to see!
Wu Bijun's expression was dazed.
The fairy appearance of the woman in front of her is like a crystal clear fairy dew in the golden lotus pond in the Nine Heavens, and it is like a round of unreachable cold moon hanging in the sky, and there is a charm of unstained dust around her body, which makes people ashamed of themselves.
But her heart is so cold and hard, and she is ruthless who doesn't even let go of a fetus that has not landed.
No, the same can't be said either. The queen just watched coldly and pushed the boat with the flow. And oneself is the most important part.
Wu Bijun couldn't tell what it was like in his heart.
But from the moment he entered the palace, he had no way out.
She said respectfully, "Bijun obeys. β
"Mandarin duck, take a token of the palace and give it to Concubine Wu."
Even if Chen Rong wanted to kill people afterwards, when she saw the token in Wu Bijun's hand, she should guess that she was the queen who already knew.
Wu Bijun held Chen Rong's handle in his hand, Chen Rong couldn't even blame the trouble, so he had to eat this stuffy loss.
"Bijun, thank you Queen Mother." Wu Bijun took the token that could save her life from the mandarin duck's hand, and thanked her with gratitude.
"This token, don't take it out until you have to."
Xie Yanhe just reassured Wu Bijun first, and as for the countermeasures, she had to think about it carefully.
β¦β¦
After Xie Yanhe returned to the dormitory, he saw the figure lying on the side of the Luohan bed at a glance. She took a few steps forward, pulled out the book in Wei Zhao's hand, and asked softly, "Has Your Majesty ever had breakfast?" β
"I've already eaten it." Wei Zhao reached out with his long arm and pulled Xie Yanhe onto himself.
Xie Yan and the others didn't stand firm, and lay directly on Wei Zhao's chest.
The palace people in the main hall disappeared very clearly.
Xie Yanhe propped up his body and glared at Wei Zhao menacingly with a pair of charming peach blossom eyes.
However, her eye waves were too delicate, not only did she not have the slightest deterrent, but she could see that Wei Zhao's breathing sound was aggravated.
The man obeyed his heart and blocked the two soft red lips without thinking......
The two of them hid and chased each other, until the other person could not avoid it, and was pressed under him for a long time.
Xie Yan and a piece of green silk had long since dispersed, and the beads and hairpins inserted in his hair slipped everywhere.
Wei Zhao simply swept all of them to the ground, and after a crisp ding-dong sound, it suddenly made Xie Yanhe extremely distressed.
Those golden hairpins are okay, a few sheep fat jade hairpins are broken into a few pieces, and naturally they can't be worn anymore.
Xie Yanhe's heart was annoyed, his slender jade fingers clenched into a pink fist, slammed on Wei Zhao's chest, and said angrily: "Your Majesty, you are still the king of a country!" It's no different from a day-preaching disciple! β
was scolded by Xie Yanhe pointing his nose, and Wei Zhao didn't see the slightest anger.
He looked at the slightly messy dress of the little girl below him.
The mirror flower on her body has already been torn by herself, the neckline is crooked, revealing a pink lotus-colored belly pocket, and a red lotus that has not bloomed has poked out, as if it is blooming on her fine snow-like skin, red and white contrast, with the most gorgeous and enchanting style.
The blood in Wei Zhao's body was all rushing towards an unspeakable place, and he saw the little girl in his arms with a pair of peach blossom eyes that widened in fright.
The round bright eyes, the black glass-like eyes, pure and lustful, hooked Wei Zhao's soul and flew away.
He lifted his foot and kicked the kang table on the Luohan couch to the ground.
The dark red peony flowers made a dull sound.
Xie Yanhe screamed: "Your Majesty, are you crazy?" β
All of her last notes were swallowed into her lips and teeth by Wei Zhao......
β¦β¦
It was already time to hold the lamp, Xie Yanhe hid in the bed tent, and on his pink face, a pair of peach blossom eyes swollen into peaches.
No matter how the man tried to lure her low, she always buried herself in the pillow, and her whole body was tightly wrapped into a cocoon.
Wei Zhao listened to the little girl's hoarse and weak sobs, and secretly rubbed his fingers, as if there was still such a delicate touch on his fingertips, and when he touched it, it would melt in his fingertips.
"I apologize to you, I shouldn't be nonsense. Sleep well, you spared me this time. The last sentence was said by Wei Zhao in Xie Yanhe's ear.
The man's breath sprayed in her ear, and the tip of the wet and hot tongue ~ seemed to pass over her soft earlobe, Xie Yanhe couldn't help but tremble.
She was angry that Wei Zhao was disrespectful, and she was angry with her for being weak and weak, like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
Wei Zhao instantly saw through her thoughts, and her low, hoarse voice seemed to contain endless doting and restraint.
"Mianmian, it's not that I don't respect you, it's that you're too cute. I've been around for a long time, how can I endure it. As long as your eyes look at me, and you talk to me softly, I just want to ...... you."
"Enough, enough! You get me out! β
Xie Yanhe listened to Wei Zhao's more and more words, and hurriedly covered his ears.
Wei Zhao, who looked at her coquettishly with her ears covered and stealing the bell, wanted to laugh, but he didn't dare to annoy people anymore, so he could only apologize in a low voice: "Okay, I won't say it." β
Xie Yanhe pouted as he listened to the man's "me" for a while and "me" for a while. If it weren't for years of upbringing, she really wanted to roll her eyes at Wei Zhao.
A person who can be a father to himself at an age, and the children under his knees are older than himself, and he is embarrassed to learn from the red and green squirrel, flamboyant, frivolous, Meng Lang, it is really ridiculous!
Wei Zhao saw that the delicate woman lying on the bed was still unwilling to take care of herself, and persuaded softly: "You didn't eat much for breakfast, and it was useless for lunch, and now it's time for dinner, are you hungry?" Is there anything you'd like to eat? β
Xie Yanhe still didn't squeak, and no matter what Wei Zhao said in her ear, it was like a mosquito "buzzing".
Wei Zhao knew that he had offended people badly, so he had to continue to lead her to speak.
"Aren't you curious about Xie Jiangming's whereabouts?"
This stinky man really knows how to pinch her soft underbelly. Xie Yanhe secretly pricked up his ears and waited for Wei Zhao's answer.
After Wei Zhao sacrificed the killer weapon, there was no follow-up.
Xie Yanhe knew very well that Wei Zhao was digging a hole for himself!
She nearly crushed a mouthful of silver teeth, but her worries about her brother prevailed.
She buried herself in the soft pillow of bright yellow and said in a sullen voice, "Where is my brother?" β
The smile on Wei Zhao's lips flashed.
However, after the mind relaxed, a deep sense of loss surged in my heart.
She takes Xie Jiangming's brother so seriously, what about herself? In her heart, there is not even a corner.
"Did you say it?"
Xie Yanhe didn't hear Wei Zhao's voice for a long time, she pounded the pillow hard, couldn't bear to look at the man behind her, and said with an annoyed face.
"Get up and eat first, and I'll tell you when you've filled your stomach."
Xie Yanhe's body seemed to be run over by a carriage, and he didn't want to move a finger.
As for the meal, although she was hungry twice in a row, she had no appetite. Not to mention...... The base of her tongue still hurts!
Despite this, Xie Yanhe didn't want to let Wei Zhao go so easily. She muttered coquettishly: "I want to eat the ice jade mille-feuille cake in Xiangyun Building, the salted bean curd of Sister-in-law Li's house in Hat Hutong, the lotus leaf steamed chicken in Zhuangyuan Building, the abalone juice buckle fish maw in Linshui House, the chicken soup fishing line and double fried lotus root clip in Yanzilou, and the vinegar fish in the West Lake in Houfu." β
The places Xie Yanhe said happened to be all over the capital, and none of the two restaurants were on the same line, which was clearly to make things difficult for Wei Zhao.
The man was patient, and his tone was not surprised at all: "Wait for half an hour, and I will send someone to fetch it." β
Wei Zhao secretly thought, he didn't expect that he still had the potential to be a faint monarch.
Seeing that the palace gate was about to fall, the little girl wanted to eat, whether it was true or not, in order to ensure that these cooked dishes were still hot when they were delivered to the palace, she could only let Jin Wuwei pick them up.
