Chapter 34: The Return of the Mountains and Rivers Lives Up to the Glory
Emperor Entropy was angry: Concubine Ling has always been gentle and elegant, with a simple heart, never going beyond the rules of the court, and she will not say much about the harem concubines. Why did he break the taboo today and judge the prince so abnormally?
Mama Gui was secretly startled, her eyes frequently signaled, but Concubine Ling was unmoved, and continued with Emperor Entropy's cold eyes: "The prince is fascinated, and his mother is conniving, if you let it go, won't it disgrace my reputation in Dayue?" What's even more terrifying is that people with ulterior motives harbor evil intentions, so as to drive a wedge between His Majesty and Yu'er's father and son. The concubine didn't dare to speak falsely, but she was anxious, Yu'er had been drifting for many years, and when she returned to glory, she would definitely attract jealousy and want to fall into the well. ”
Emperor Entropy frowned and said nothing, but his anger had eased, and his eyes warmed up.
Seeing this, Concubine Ling bent her knees to the ground, "Yu'er and Your Majesty, it is rare to have no gap, if you are punished for this, I am afraid that it will chill his heart to return." ”
Emperor Entropy pondered for a long time, and finally sighed faintly, picked up Concubine Ling, stroked the back of her hand, and said: "I know in my heart, you don't need to worry, Yu'er has you as a concubine, how blessed and honored!" ”
Concubine Ling sighed lightly, and the mist moistened her eyes, "The princes are pampered in the Moon Country, but Yu'er is the only one who suffers from being exiled, and the concubines are ashamed!" ”
Emperor Entropy pondered for a moment, then let go of Concubine Ling's hand, and said to the carved screen: "Nian Yin Dao!" ”
Father-in-law Nian quickly came out from behind the screen, leaned over slightly and said, "Your Majesty." ”
"Drive back to the palace!" Emperor Entropy glanced back at Concubine Ling and strode out.
"Yes." Father-in-law Nian saluted Concubine Ling slightly, and then followed out, with a melodious voice: "Your Majesty returns to the palace..."
Concubine Ling watched quietly, and after a long time, she sat down with the support of Mama Gui.
"Niangniang just insisted on persuading His Majesty, almost angered Long Yan, in the future, Niangniang can't be like this again..."
Concubine Ling looked calm and smiled indifferently: "Your Majesty has never been able to let go of Sister Lingxi in her heart, and she has regrets for Yu'er, my advice this time is nothing more than to force Your Majesty to make up your mind and not be instigated by people with evil intentions." ”
"Niangniang touched Your Majesty's taboo, in case Your Majesty is angry, how should Niangniang end?" Mama Gui was still in fear.
Concubine Ling suddenly remembered something? He said with a side face: "Spread the word Yan Niang, bring the one from the Ning Yan Pavilion into the palace, this must not be an ordinary woman." The last winter banquet was delayed due to the disturbance of the crown prince, and today the concubine wants to meet her in person. ”
"Yes." Mama Gui said: "That woman is all over the country, and her behavior and conversation are by no means ordinary people, and the mother should meet her." ”
Yi Wangfu.
When Su Liruo woke up, the room was empty, and her heart was inevitably lost, why did he always come unexpectedly and leave silently.
At the same time, there was a trace of doubt, every time she was sleepy and unbearable, and fell into a deep sleep? Wake up refreshed? What's going on with her?
Just as she was pondering, Xiao Wei pushed the door in, saw Su Liruo sitting on the bed in a daze, and hurriedly said: "Sister is awake, Yan Niang has been waiting for her sister, saying that Concubine Ling Niangniang summoned her sister." ”
It's Concubine Ling again! Su Liruo remembered that the winter banquet was caused by Concubine Ling's sending someone to pick up the palace and provoke the prince's absurd behavior, and her heart still palpitated. I couldn't help but sink my eyebrows and resist my emotions.
"Sister!" Xiao Yui called again. "Yan Niang has been waiting for a long time, my sister must be tired, and she got up late this morning." Xiao Yui said and smiled again.
Su Li didn't know what to do, but she felt that Xiao Wei's smile had a deep meaning, she studied it flawlessly, and muttered: "Is it okay to refuse!" ”
"That's not good, how can my sister refuse to be summoned by my mother? Besides, Yan Niang is waiting outside? Xiao Wei didn't know what Su Liruo was thinking, and she didn't know that the prince had overstepped her.
Su Liruo was stunned, sighed slightly, and asked, "What about the prince?" ”
Xiao Wei replied while waiting for her to make up: "The prince left early in the morning, and they all scared me and Cui'er at that time. ”
It turned out that he didn't leave until dawn! Su Liruo raised her eyes and looked at Xiao Wei, wondering why they were startled? Xiao Wei said again: "The prince is really, why did you come here without notice in advance, and everyone was rude!" ”
"He came in the middle of the night." Thinking of the tender words he gave her, Su Liruo couldn't help blushing her cheeks and lowering her eyes shyly.
"My sister must be frightened! The prince is okay with his sister! Xiao Wei pursed her lips and smiled: "Yan Niang also said it just now, why doesn't the prince act according to the rules of the government?" It should have been notified to the Ning Yan Pavilion in advance, and Yan Niang would teach my sister how to serve the rites of sleeping..."
"What?" The more Su Liruo listened, the more wrong he became, and he looked up in surprise and said, "I didn't serve the prince, why do I have such gossip?" ”
"Ahh Xiao Wei was stunned, and the comb in his hand took off the ground, "Didn't the prince stay in my sister's room last night?" Why didn't my sister serve the prince..."
"You girl, you're cranky." Su Liruo's face was blushing, she glared at Xiao Wei, and said angrily: "If you make trouble like this in the future, it will ruin the reputation of the prince, I will not spare you!" ”
"It's... How can it be? Xiao Wei ignored Su Liruo's blame, rushed to the bedside, lifted the bedding, and sure enough, it didn't fall red! She was stunned, what does this mean? She then came to her senses, took off her hairpin, stabbed her index finger, and squeezed out a few drops of blood in the middle of the bed.
Su Liruo was stunned for a moment, forgot to stop it, and let her do this. When Xiao Wei turned around, she was shocked: "What are you doing?" Between the words, there was a lot of embarrassment.
"Is my sister confused? The prince stayed in his sister's room overnight, and many servants and maidservants witnessed the prince leaving at dawn, and Yan Niang will personally check whether it is red? Could it be that my sister has an unclean name on her back? Xiao Wei put on the hairpin, leaned over to pick up the comb on the ground, and said in a firm tone.
"But..."Su Liruo was stunned and didn't know how to speak, she didn't expect that Xiao Wei was close to all the maidservants on weekdays, and she could know so deeply, but she didn't know how powerful it was.
"If those people know that my sister is not serving the prince, I don't know how to chill my sister? How can we stand in this palace in the future? There is also the Cloud Chasing Tower, which will never give up. So, sister, remember, last night the prince stayed indoors, and my sister went to bed! Xiao Only's face was solemn.
Su Liruo looked at her, and for a moment felt that she was no longer the reckless little girl who was chirping, and her calmness and composure this time made her lose her mind. Suddenly, his heart was sad, he shared hardships all the way, supported each other, and never gave up, Su Liruo suddenly moistened his eyes.
A knock on the door startled the two of them, Cui'er pushed the door in, blessed her body and said, "The girl is awake, Yan Niang has been waiting outside for a long time, can this come in?" ”
Su Liruo and Xiao Wei looked at each other, bowed slightly, Cui'er went out for a while, and then Yan Niang came in.
She saluted Su Liruo, went straight to the bed, lifted the futon, and saw the red at a glance, and a smile appeared on her stern face. Then he turned around and said respectfully, and his voice was much softer: "Congratulations girl! Concubine Ling summoned the girl, if she was tired, could she go to the palace with the old slave? ”
Su Liruo glanced at Xiao Yiyi, and got a hint from her determined eyes.
Su Liruo lowered her eyes and nodded slightly.
Sycamore Palace.
Concubine Ling stared at the face of the world in front of her, and was shocked, no wonder the prince was fascinated and made a ridiculous act that exceeded the norm. That day, she was hugged by Feng Xuanyu in her arms, unable to recognize her face, and when she saw it today: beautiful as a fairy, not stained with dust and smoke in the world, jade and ice clear.
Su Liruo slowly leaned over and saluted: "Liruo has seen Concubine Ling!" ”
Concubine Ling showed a gentle smile, seeing that she was beautiful and not arrogant, she was still humble and polite, and pure as water. I liked it at a glance, so I reached out to support her: "No need to be polite!" Between the words, he led her into a seat and talked to each other.
"Yu'er is cold and arrogant, you should tolerate him more, if he treats you badly, the mother concubine will definitely be the master for you!" Concubine Ling asked her to present a crispy pastry and personally gave her a piece in her hand. "Come, try the peanut cake made by Mama Gui."
"Thank you, Concubine Ling!" Su Liruo took the pastry, "The prince treats Ruo'er very well, so let the mother bother." As he spoke, he lowered his eyes shyly.
"So... Very good! Concubine Ling said happily: "Yu'er spoils you like this, you just call your mother concubine with him." ”
"Mother!" Su Liruo called softly, she was a little excited, she didn't know what the warmth of her mother was like since she was a child? What is it like to have a mother's dear child? And Concubine Ling is approachable, gentle like water, which makes her feel the love and warmth she has never felt before.
"Hmm." Concubine Ling's face was loving, full of smiles, and she took Su Liruo's hand, "Come, accompany the concubine to the back garden!" ”
Su Liruo was held by Concubine Ling and came to the back garden, and along the way, Concubine Ling told her interesting stories about Feng Xuanyu when she was a child.
Only then did Su Liruo know that Feng Xuanyu had been raised by Concubine Ling for two years, and as for what happened to her biological mother, Concubine Ling was vague and didn't want to say more, and she didn't dare to ask in detail.
When he was fourteen years old, Emperor Entropy rewarded him with wasteland, which was not subject to the jurisdiction. It was originally a land of barbarian wild herdsmen, although it was recovered by the Moon Kingdom, but the customs were quirky and the temperament was tyrannical, so it was not suitable to be classified as Dayue. Therefore, the ministers proposed that it be divided into exclusive territories and sent people to control them. For some reason, Emperor Entropy sent Feng Xuanyu, who was only fourteen years old, and at that time, he only brought personal guards of a similar age to follow. After ten years, he did not admit that he had surrendered to the tyrannical barbarians, recovered the territory around him, and the wild herdsmen also submitted to him.
The topic was a little heavy, and Su Liruo's heart swelled with unspeakable compassion: A fourteen-year-old boy actually experienced wandering and wandering, and was in danger of being tyrannical and barbaric? He was originally the pride of the sky, why was Emperor Entropy so cruel to him?
Concubine Ling paused and looked back at her: "The mother concubine told you this in the hope that you can understand him and be more considerate of him in the future." He was by no means a heartless person, but he was displaced and wandered at a young age, which caused him to be lonely and cold. On that day, he actually hurt the prince for you, which shows that you are extremely important in his heart. It's just that he has been getting along with barbarian herdsmen for many years, and his personality is inevitably arrogant and not easy to fit in, so you can guide him more in the future and correct his strange habits. ”
Su Liruo felt sorry in her heart, but nodded and said, "Yes, mother, Ruo'er must remember!" ”
"Hmm." Concubine Ling caressed the back of her hand with satisfaction, her eyes warm.
At noon, Concubine Ling left her for dinner and asked her where she came from?
Su Li hid the identity of the princess of Yuguo, and frankly said that she met Feng Xuanyu in the autumn when she traveled to Duyan Lake, and then because of changes in her family, she lived in the country of Day. It was obtained from the day of the country's strategist, and the prince assisted the mentor Mr. Zhao Yue to take him in the house. Unexpectedly, she was sent to the Moon Kingdom and entered the palace of the king of Yi as a concubine, and she had to reunite with her on the day of the winter feast...
Concubine Ling was shocked when she heard this, there is such a coincidence in the world? No wonder Feng Xuanyu dotes on her so much? It turns out that there has been a love encounter between them!
Concubine Ling liked Su Liruo even more, and was reluctant to let her go back, wanting to keep her overnight in Wutong Palace, and sent someone to spread the word to the palace of Yi.
In the afternoon, Mama Gui waited for Concubine Ling to recuperate, and Su Li had nothing to do, so she took a walk around Wutong Palace. I found that Wutong Palace was extremely quiet and pleasant, elegant and light, thinking of Concubine Ling's gentle temperament, no wonder it was so elegant!
Su Liruo was tired of walking, so he sat on a stone at the rockery in the garden, thinking about Concubine Ling's words, thinking about Feng Xuanyu's ten years of wandering, and his heart was full of pity.
I don't know how long it took, a sound of broken footsteps disturbed Su Liruo, she looked up, and saw a handsome young man of eleven or twelve years old, he stared at her intently, and Zhiya said, "Is my sister a fairy who fell from the sky?" ”
Su Liruo came back to her senses, was amused, and said with a smile: "My sister is Concubine Ling's guest, what about you?" Is it a boy who fell from the sky? ”
"I'm the Nine Emperor Prince Feng Xuansheng, what about my sister?" Although he is young, he has a natural and majestic momentum.
Su Liruo was stunned: The Nine Emperor Princes? Isn't that the prince's little royal brother?
"It turned out to be the little prince!" She tilted her head, looked at the childish and pretty face in front of her, and said with a smile: "I am a family member of the Yi Wangfu." ”
"Oh." Feng Xuansheng pretended to be sophisticated and said: "It turns out that my sister is from my seventh brother's mansion!" With that, he sat down next to Su Liruo.
Su Liruo was amused by his pretending to be calm and cute: "Doesn't the little prince like the king of Yi?" ”
"Hmm." Feng Xuansheng raised his cheeks and pondered: "I don't like Brother Seven's cold face with an ice cube, but I respect Brother Seven very much, I heard that his martial arts are unfathomable and his wisdom is unparalleled. I wanted to be with him and teach me martial arts, but I didn't dare to get close to him. ”
"Although the prince is cold and arrogant, if the little prince is close to him, maybe he will accept you. Why don't you try it? Su Liruo heard his admiration for Feng Xuanyu's fear and love.
"Really?" Feng Xuansheng's eyes lit up, his expression was radiant, and he said, "Is my sister the person that Seventh Brother likes?" Otherwise, how could my sister be so sure of Seventh Brother's thoughts? ”
Su Liruo lowered her eyes and smiled, thinking: Why is the little prince so smart? Just like the young Feng Xuanyu mentioned by Concubine Ling.
"Sheng'er..."A delicate voice came: "Don't hide, come out quickly!" ”
Feng Xuansheng remembered something, and suddenly slapped his thigh: "Ah! I forgot, I'm playing hide and seek with the eighth sister? ”
Su Liruo was about to speak, but when he saw Feng Xuansheng running away, he collided with the visitor like a gust of wind, and with an oops, he covered his forehead and fell to the ground.
Su Liruo was startled, hurriedly got up and went over, picked up Feng Xuansheng, who was grinning in pain, raised his head and looked at the person, and said in surprise: "Lord Wang..."
