Chapter 42: Night Meeting
"The slave maid heard that it was because Wan Baolin collided with the queen's mother, when the emperor and the queen were together, and happened to see Wan Baolin passing by, and the emperor summoned Wan Baolin over. The queen chatted with Wan Baolin for a few words, but she didn't expect that Wan Baolin was influenced by Concubine Xian to know a lot of poems on weekdays, but when she mentioned a poem, she violated the queen's taboo, and the queen was angry on the spot. ”
Hearing this, Lianzhi asked, "What about the emperor?" ”
"Anyway, the emperor let the queen send Wan Baolin, and now Wan Baolin has been grounded, and the green head card has also been withdrawn, it is estimated that he is going to fall out of favor."
"It's Wan Baolin sent by the queen, didn't the emperor say anything?"
The emperor didn't say a word, but he was very angry when he heard that he was leaving. All in all, the mood of the emperor in the past two days is not expected to be good, if anyone hits the muzzle of the gun at this time, it will be miserable. So when this happened, the people in the palace became more and more cautious in doing things. ”
Wen Zhiyu thought for a while: "You Yuyang Palace and Wan Baolin have no intersection either, don't get into trouble at this time, avoid it if you can!" ”
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also means the meaning of the slave maid, and he has already made the people in Yuyang Palace take care of themselves these days, but they don't dare to say anything casually outside." Su Ying replied.
Lianzhi nodded: "You did a good job." ”
"It's getting late, I'll leave first, and you can rest early." Wen Zhiyu said goodbye to Lianzhi and left, handing the lantern to Su Ying before leaving.
Lian Zhi entered the dormitory, and Su Qing hurriedly served tea to her: "The princess is tired today, right?" ”
Lianzhi sat down and took a sip of tea: "It's really a little tired." ”
"Princess, where is this lamp going to be?" Su Ying asked, and Su Qing also saw the lantern and exclaimed, "This lantern is so beautiful." ”
"Put it away, but don't break it." Lianzhi admonished.
Su Ying smiled and replied, "The slave understands. ”
Lianzhi was indeed tired today, she cleaned up and went to bed quickly, but tonight was a sleepless night for many people.
"Bang!" Concubine Xian slapped the table angrily, startling Xiang'er who was standing next to her, she had followed Concubine Xian for so many years, and she had never seen Concubine Xian so angry.
"Concubine Xian, you are angry."
"Anger rest, how to anger rest? How could Iris be so stupid as to make such a mistake? ”
"It stands to reason that Kites Dai has always been smart, and it is impossible to offend the queen because of this kind of thing."
"I've been training her for so many years, and it's all useless. The second prince is not worried, and Iris Dai is not worried, in order to send her to the emperor, how much effort did the palace expend? ”
Xiang'er knelt on the ground and didn't dare to say a word. At this moment, Xiang'er realized that it turned out that Concubine Xian's move was thought of by Concubine Xian a long time ago, from the very beginning, Concubine Xian decided to sacrifice Yuandai, she knew what kind of woman the emperor liked, so she had been cultivating Yuandai for several years.
Such a realization made Xiang'er frightened.
"Let Iris come to see Hongu tomorrow!" Concubine Xian asked Xiang'er to pass the word, and Xiang'er replied: "But now that the queen has forbidden her feet, she can't come out." You can't go to see Wan Baolin at this time, otherwise the emperor will be dissatisfied. ”
"Forget it." Concubine Xian knew that she was too angry, "No matter what, you send a message to Iris Dai, so that Iris must find a way to regain her favor." ”
"Slaves obey!"
Concubine Xian picked up the tea and was about to take a sip, but found that the tea was already cold, so she put the teacup heavily on the table: "The tea is cold, why don't you change the tea quickly, what are you doing standing there stupidly?" ”
"Yes!" Xiang'er went down to change the tea with the teacup, Concubine Xian rubbed her temples with a headache, she has been unhappy recently, what kind of bad luck has she poured in? These palace maids are not as meticulous and thoughtful as Iris Dai, but such a cautious Iris has committed such a taboo, is it intentional or unintentional?
In the Weiyang Palace, Luo Xuanran has been at ease for a rare time in the past few days, and today he punished Iris Dai, and the emperor didn't say a word, and he saw that it was nothing more than that. Behind Yuan Dai is Concubine Xian, I'm afraid the emperor also has an opinion on Concubine Xian.
Qi Yuan changed the tea for Luo Xuanran, Luo Xuanran took a sip, and suddenly felt refreshed: "This tea is really good." ”
"Niangniang, it's easy to lose sleep after drinking tea at night, so you better drink less." Qi Yuan reminded.
Luo Xuanran didn't care much: "What's the matter, this palace can't sleep because of happiness, but some people can't sleep uncomfortably." ”
Iris Dai also ushered in a guest here, Taoyuan Pavilion is no longer as lively as before, out of this incident, even the palace people who are waiting in Taoyuan Pavilion are slack, there is not even a person who holds the lamp, only Iris Dai sits alone in the room, embroidering a veil against a lamp that is not bright.
The man pushed open the door and walked in. He wore a black cloak with a wide hat that obscured his face.
Iris heard the sound and did not return, as if knowing that this person would come: "What are you doing here?" ”
"Why are you doing that?"
"I can do whatever I want, and I don't need someone to tell me what I should do."
"Are you happy to lose your favor and become what you are now? During the day, you were still the favored Wan Baolin, and now you ......"
"What's going on now?" Iris interrupted the man's words, she threw down the embroidery in her hand, walked up to the man, and asked, "I have always known what I want, even if I became Wan Baolin, I have never been happy, but now that I have lost favor, my heart is a little more stable, this day will come sooner or later, I have never been afraid." ”
"But I'm afraid!" The person who came lifted the hat of the cloak and revealed his face, it turned out to be Xiao Quanzi, "I'm afraid that you will suffer, I'm afraid that you will be bullied, you have just fallen out of favor, Taoyuan Pavilion has already become like this, what will you do in a few days?" ”
"I was originally from a poor family, and I was a slave who served my master in the palace, even if I became a master one day, it would be fake, and I know better than anyone what kind of person I am. I'm not afraid of poverty, hardship, or bullying, I'd rather be a slave than become a Wan Baolin! ”
"Haven't you planned for yourself? From the day you become Wan Baolin, you can't turn back, and if you look back now, you will never recover. How can I protect you? Look at me now, even if I come to see you, I have to be quiet, because I can't see anyone. How can you protect you if you let me do this? ”
Why isn't Xiaoquanzi distressed and annoyed? But compared with Iris Dai's self-abandonment, he hopes that Iris will live well.
"I don't want you to protect me, don't you always know what I want? But why don't you know what to do, why? ”
"Because I can't give it!"
After Xiao Quanzi said this, both of them were quiet.
After a long time, Iris Dai spoke: "But the person I like is you, since we entered the palace, we have been dependent on each other, I thought we could go to the end." ”
Xiao Quanzi's tears instantly welled up in his eyes: "You have lost the love in your heart, then you should always keep the glory and wealth, maybe after a long time, you will find that the like can also be transferred." ”
Iris suddenly laughed: "Do you think it's easy for you to like someone?" A person has only one heart, and a heart can only hold one person. Let's go......"
Iris turned around to prevent Xiao Quanzi from seeing the tears in her eyes. Xiao Quanzi sighed and put on his hat again: "Take care of yourself, I will help you if I can help you." ”
After Xiao Quanzi left, Iris fell on the table and cried bitterly.
She has never had any extravagance, why would fate do this to her?
Kite's pet comes and goes quickly, and it makes people wonder if the holy favor that once made countless people envy exists?
On the second day, there was news in the harem that Princess Yunxi had a high fever, and finally caught a cold at the lantern festival, and after returning to the palace at night, she didn't listen to Lianzhi's words and drank ginger soup to drive away the cold, and she began to have a fever in the middle of the night, but she kept holding back and didn't say anything until she was discovered by Gan Tang in the early morning, and invited the imperial doctor to treat her.
When Lian Zhi knew the news and came to visit Wen Yunxi, Wen Zhiqian was already guarding the door. Seeing Lianzhi, Wen Zhiqian shouted: "Why is Princess Wanyang here?" ”
"I'll take a look at Yunxi." Lianzhi replied, "How is Yunxi now?" ”
"I've been sober a little after drinking a pair of medicines, but the whole person is still weak." Wen Zhiqian asked Lianzhi not to worry, "The mother concubine is guarding Yunxi inside, and she is not in a very good mood because of Yunxi's illness." ”
