Chapter 203: Women Are Too Troublesome
Wen Guifei listened to what the concubines said, and there was a sneer in her heart, and her face was even more unshocked.
She didn't know what these little girls were thinking.
As for Tanyan, she has long been used to facing everyone from indifferent to very positive.
The harem is like this, and the concubines all seem to be very indifferent.
But as long as it involved the man in the Long Xuan Palace, they were all active.
Compared with the habit of tilting Yan, Concubine Jing on the side couldn't help but help her sister tilt Yan to fight for opportunities, "How can you say one thing and another, it's too hypocritical, right?" ”
As she spoke, she also turned her head to look at Wen Guifei who was on her head, "Sister Wen Guifei, they must all be cowards, don't believe them!" ”
Concubine Jing has always been known for her straightforwardness in the harem, so everyone listened to her words, but they didn't feel anything.
Of course, her concubine position was there, but she didn't dare to show anything, she only dared to be unhappy in her heart.
In this regard, Concubine Wen Guifei had a faint smile on her face, "This year is the third year after the death of the first emperor, and the emperor said to the palace yesterday that the imperial tomb is far away from the capital, and the younger sisters are delicate and soft, so they are afraid that they will not be able to stand the fatigue of the journey, so they do not plan to take the concubine to the imperial tomb." ”
Actually, the emperor didn't say that at that time, she just relayed the emperor's words euphemistically.
The concubines thought she didn't want them to go.
I still remember that yesterday, the emperor said to her like this: Women are too troublesome, this time to go to the imperial mausoleum, I only need to bring some guards, royal guards, and minions.
Concubine Wen Guifei indicated that it was the emperor's meaning, and then continued: "But the palace thinks that the place of the imperial mausoleum is remote and barren, if there is no intimate person around the emperor to serve him, yes, the emperor will let the palace pick a bold one, not as timid as a mouse, and babble at every turn." ”
She conveyed the emperor's words euphemistically.
The emperor's original words at that time were like this: Then pick a less troublesome one to follow me to the imperial tomb.
This sounds as if women are not as important as sacrifices, but are just used for recreation in their spare time.
Actually, she said a few words meaningfully at that time.
She and Concubine Rou are concubines, and they can't go if they want to be in charge of the harem affairs.
As for the emperor who said that she wanted to pick a bold one, she naturally couldn't pick a timid one.
Otherwise, something will go wrong at that time, and the emperor may blame her.
Because of this, she couldn't tell the concubines clearly that she needed to pick a concubine to accompany the emperor to the imperial mausoleum.
Otherwise, even the concubine who is as timid as a mouse can pretend to be bold in front of her.
It was with this in mind that she deliberately threw out the pretense of finding someone to accompany her to sacrifice to see who was more daring.
Now it seems that the concubine is the most calm and calm, and it is the most suitable to accompany the emperor to the imperial mausoleum.
When the concubines heard that it was the emperor's intention, they didn't recommend themselves again.
It's just that a concubine tried to ask: "Guifei Niangniang, you also said that going to the imperial tomb requires a long journey, and the place is remote and desolate, will it not be enough to serve the emperor intimately?" ”
Hearing this, Concubine Wen's face sank, and she said solemnly: "The emperor originally didn't plan to bring a woman by his side, but now it's a wilderness to bring one!" The emperor also said that he was going to worship the ancestors, not to the wind and snow! ”
At that time, the emperor trained her like this, and now she will give the original words to the concubines.
Seeing that Concubine Wen Guifei had a serious face, and said it again, all the concubines and concubines stopped talking one after another, so they had to give up.
One by one, just look at the face with that kind of envy, jealousy and hatred.
Immediately afterwards, Concubine Wen said: "In addition, now that the palace is haunted, the palace told the queen mother that the Taoist priest will be invited to practice in the palace on the day of the Midyear Festival, and your sisters just stay in the palace with peace of mind, don't scare yourself." ”
"Concubines and concubines should remember what Concubine Wen said." The concubines responded one after another.
After touching a stick of incense, the morning province dispersed.
Out of the Wenhua Palace, Concubine Jing approached and bit her ears before she came to the palace, "Xiao Yanyan, you are the only one to accompany the emperor when I go to the imperial tomb this time, you have to seize the opportunity." ”
Yan Yan twitched the corners of his mouth.
Since beating her and being promoted to a concubine, Concubine Jing has given birth to her from time to time.
also urged her to let the emperor withdraw the soup.
Now that I heard that she was the only one to accompany the emperor to sacrifice, she urged again.
Yan Yan: "What, when the sacrifice is so solemn, how can I mention it." ”
Concubine Jing: "It won't be a solemn sacrifice every day, besides, no matter how solemn it is, didn't the emperor bring someone?"
Since the emperor has brought his concubines with him, it is impossible to just make decorations, right?
Qian Yan was afraid that Concubine Jing would say something more, so she hurriedly pushed Concubine Jing up.
After returning to the Tilting Pear Palace, Tilting Yan asked Xiaolian to pack her bags.
Although the imperial tomb is some distance away from the capital, it is also in a neighboring province.
If you take a horse-drawn carriage, it will take about three days to go back and forth.
Therefore, Qian Yan did not prepare much of a bag.
She just prepared some intimate clothes, rouge gouache, etc.
After touching it for about half an hour, Tanyan prepared his bags.
Considering that Aunt Qin was a person from the emperor's side, Qian Yan did not bring Aunt Qin this time, but brought Xiaolian by her side.
However, Aunt Qin and the palace maids and eunuchs in the courtyard helped carry their bags and sent them to Longxuan Palace.
Once there, Xiaolian explained the way to come.
When the eunuch guarding outside the hall heard this, he first saluted to Tianyan, and then said: "Concubine, the emperor, the emperor, the emperor has already taken Gonggong Li and them to leave, just left, it is estimated that the number of people is being checked at the east gate at the moment, you still have time to go now!" ”
The emperor has always been a maverick, so how could he wait for someone?
Moreover, the emperor never asked any of the concubines why they hadn't come yet.
I guess I forgot that Concubine Wen said that she was going to find a concubine for him.
If he hadn't heard the concubine explain his intentions, he wouldn't have known that the emperor would be accompanied by a concubine on this trip.
Hearing what the eunuch said, he led people to the east gate while secretly scolding the emperor in his heart for not having any team spirit.
But when she thought about it, she guessed that she was not within the scope of the team he was considering at all.
This dog emperor, didn't Concubine Wen say noon.
Although he was in a hurry to go to the grave, it was only time for him to do so.
This time, Qian Yan accompanied the emperor with a mission.
If he'd already left, he'd have to wait for the next time.
After a while, the group arrived at the east gate.
I saw that the emperor was not seen at the gate, except for the royal guards patrolling back and forth, and the guards guarding the city gate.
I didn't see the mighty departure procession.
At this moment, she was holding Xiaolian's hand and standing at the empty east gate.
She glanced around, "It seems that the emperor has left the palace, let's go back." ”
Xiaolian and her party were a little disappointed, but they still turned around with Tianyan and prepared to return to the Pear Palace.
