Concubine An paused, and she nodded tearfully. "You're right, it's all over! They were all driven away by you, you are better than your father, and your children will not be bullied by them again in the future, so it is the best, and I am relieved. ”
Is she so sad?
Haruka frowned.
Even if the children of the Chai clan really ate and drank in their mansion in the past, and robbed their sisters and brothers of their things, but with her mother's skill, those people would not succeed many times, right? Before, she used this to sell miserably in front of the emperor, why is she still selling miserably in front of Chai Dong now?
But just thinking like this, the emperor spoke: "Xiao Chai Aiqing is indeed clear-minded, and she can carry it clearly. I can see your performance this time, you did a great job! Now, I just hope that you will be the same as you said, only looking at right and wrong, not the relationship! ”
"Your Majesty, please rest assured, Weichen will do what he says, and he will never let you down!" When Chai Dong heard this, he immediately threw his hand and said loudly.
The Emperor laughed.
"Good! With Xiaochai Aiqing's words, I will be relieved! ”
With that, he turned to Concubine An again. "Concubine Ai is right, Xiao Chai Aiqing is indeed a pillar of talent. You just have to rest assured, as long as he makes achievements in the court, I will definitely reward him for his merits, and I will definitely not treat the loyal ministers who are loyal to the country wholeheartedly! ”
Concubine An lowered her eyes shyly. "Your Majesty, what did you say? The concubine body just mentioned it to you casually, and she didn't mean to ask for an official for her younger brother. This officialdom has to let him work hard by himself, and the concubine will never interfere! ”
"I understand, I don't plan to meddle! However, if he really does good deeds for the benefit of the country and the people, of course I will reward him generously. And I didn't say that he was the only one, even if it was other courtiers, as long as they did good deeds, I would reward them too! The Emperor smiled even more heartily.
Chunzhi took their conversation into her ears, and she couldn't help but be secretly surprised - it turned out that Concubine An was for this purpose!
After the last time she proposed to promote Chai Dong was rejected, now she has changed her mind and began to find ways to let the emperor praise Chai Dong in person!
Didn't the people of the Chai clan repeatedly attack her after making her a traitor? Well, let Emperor Chrysostom praise him for being a loyal minister! Since the emperor has said so, who in the world would dare to deny it?
As for the attack of the group of people under King Qin that Chai Dong is now suffering outside, she should also know about it. So now, with the emperor standing up to support him, those people naturally don't dare to act rashly.
Although this eldest sister doesn't like herself, Chunzhi also has to admit that she is still very good to Chai Dong. At least now she has helped Chai Dong solve a lot of trouble.
It is...... The emperor was amused by her, and in just a few words, he gave Chai Dong a lot of face, which made the faces of the two women on the side, the queen and the concubine, not very good-looking.
You know, the emperor didn't praise their own brothers so much! Their brother is still from a famous family, and now he is a real pillar of the court! Chai Dong and they are put together, and they can't even look at it!
It's just a big holiday, and it's rare for the emperor to be so happy today, even the queen mother seems to be on Concubine An's side, and these two women can only barely squeeze out a smile, and the imperial concubine also echoed a few words with a smile.
In the last conversation, someone from outside came to report: "Your Majesty, the time is up, the lanterns outside are lit, do you think you want to move the gate of the palace now?" ”
"Then go ahead!" The Emperor's jaw.
He stood up and looked at the Queen Mother again, and the Queen Mother immediately waved her hand: "The mourning family has already said it, the mourning family is old, so don't go to join in the excitement this year." What's more, Concubine An still has a big belly now, so the mourning family will stay with her. ”
"The concubine also stayed to take care of Concubine An's sister." The queen immediately said, "It's just right, let the imperial concubine's sister accompany the emperor to accept the people's worship!" These days, there have always been people who come to pay New Year's greetings to the concubines, and the concubines also take this opportunity to be clean and pure. ”
That's right...... On the one hand, she made overtures to the emperor, saying that she would take care of Concubine An, and more importantly, of course, take care of the little princess in Concubine An's womb; On the other hand, she gave the imperial concubine this great opportunity to accompany the emperor as if she were gracious, but she also said it very clearly - this is what the old lady is tired of playing, you can pick it up!
If Chunzhi was the imperial concubine, she felt that she must be so angry that she said directly: "The old lady doesn't want it either!" Who should you scarce of this thing? ”
However, the imperial concubine is smiling and groaning. "In that case, then sister, I will pick up a ready-made cheap one and go to spend the Shangyuan Festival with the emperor."
With that, she Shi Shiran walked to the emperor's side and smiled at him. "Your Majesty."
Although she is old, she is well maintained, and she is a glamorous and charming type, which is completely different from Concubine An's cowardice and well-behaved. The relationship between the emperor and her for so many years is not fake, so when his eyes fell on her, the emperor's expression softened a lot.
Seeing this, the queen cast another shadow on her eyes.
Hey, in this battle, who will win and who will lose? Haruka can't tell the difference.
However, in the emperor's eyes, this is a beautiful picture of the stability and harmony of the harem, and all the concubines are courteous to each other, which makes him very satisfied.
He nodded. "That's fine. Then rest behind the mother! When I turned around, I ordered someone to draw a picture of tonight's grand occasion, and show it to the queen mother, and it would be regarded as if you were there. ”
"Did you paint this for the mourners, or for someone?" The Queen Mother smiled lightly, and glanced at Concubine An and the queen at the head of the bed.
The Emperor smiled. "Of course, it was for you, the queen mother. Of course, it would be best if you could show them compassion after reading it. ”
The Queen Mother shook her head speechlessly, and waved her hand. "Well, go ahead! As soon as it gets dark, the cool air will rise, so remember to wear more. ”
"Yes, Erchen knows." The emperor hurriedly bowed his head and went out with the imperial concubine.
About half an hour later, a crisp explosion sound was heard outside, and Concubine An's eyes suddenly flashed: "It's starting to set off fireworks, right?" ”
"It should be." The queen bowed, "It's a pity that Concubine An, you are not in good health now, otherwise it would be good for us to take a look outside the dormitory." ”
"It's okay, it's enough for me to listen to the voice. Last year, I was fortunate enough to follow the Queen Mother to the high stage to see it! Concubine An smiled, and there seemed to be stars twinkling in her black and white eyes.
At this point, the barking of cats and dogs suddenly came from outside. The Queen Mother suddenly laughed again: "Speaking of which, the pair of cats and dogs raised by the mourning family are also unusual. Other cats and dogs shy away from the sound of fireworks, but they both love it. Now, they're just clamoring to go out and see the excitement! ”
"Then the queen mother, you can go with them to see the fireworks! It's too boring for you to stand here with us staring at each other. The queen did what she liked and said quickly.
The Queen Mother also bowed her head. She was also eager to go out and take a breather.
Concubine An's doors and windows are now closed, and there are still a few pots of charcoal burning in the room. Although the best silver charcoal is used, there is almost no smoke and dust, and there is no irritating smell, but I always feel depressed after a long time. She is most afraid of being depressed.
Seeing this, Concubine An smiled at Chai Dong again: "Otherwise, you should go out too!" Accompany the Queen Mother, and by the way, watch a lively scene. When you're done, you'll come back and talk to me about it, and let me know what kind of excitement this year is. ”
Is this going to take them all away?
Harue's heart beat faster.
She hurriedly looked at Chai Dong and saw that Chai Dong had already pulled her.
"Okay." He replied softly, "We must take a good look at it, and then come back and ask the Gu family to draw a picture for you, sister, you can clearly see the grand occasion." ”
"Really? That's for the best! When Concubine An heard this, her eyes suddenly sparkled. She even raised a smile at Chunzhi, "Brother and sister, then this matter will be entrusted to you!" ”
Chunzhi raised the corners of her mouth helplessly. "Okay, I got it."
Then, they followed the Queen Mother out.
This is when the fireworks are at their most spectacular. When they walked outside, they saw fireworks exploding one after another overhead, all kinds of patterns and colors, one of which had not yet withered, and the other had already risen into the sky. The entire sky was filled with sparkling fireworks, almost enveloping them, and the light from the fireworks almost illuminated the entire sky, and also pierced Haruzhi's eyes.
But she still held her breath and watched every brilliant firework overhead with wide eyes.
But I don't know if it's her delusion or what, she always feels that this fireworks are too gorgeous and too brilliant. When everything calms down when it withers, what's left?
Her heart suddenly emptied.
And at this time, a scream suddenly came from the hall behind!
