Chapter VI: Reproach
Feng Qingxu was called to Deyang Palace by the queen early in the morning, the queen has always been kind to her, and often called her to accompany and talk, but today she understands that the queen does not just call her to chat, but she does not show it on her face, and only obediently goes to Deyang Palace. Sure enough, before she entered the door, she heard someone outside the gate of Deyang Palace calling Li Ronghua and Yang Xiaohan to come.
Feng Qingxu confirmed the idea in his heart, but entered Deyang Palace with an attitude of not caring about himself.
Surrounded by sandalwood in Deyang Palace, the fragrance is faint, and the wind is light and knows that the queen has just finished worshipping the Buddha, and the mood should be good at this time.
The queen does not like luxurious things, the decoration in the hall is simple and atmospheric, and she has always liked to worship the Buddha, the faint fragrance of sandalwood in the air comes to the face, which makes people's hearts can't help but give birth to a sense of tranquility.
As soon as Feng Qingxu stood still, the queen walked out from behind the screen, followed by the aunt in charge of the East Palace. Feng Qingxu once again confirmed the purpose of the queen's call for her today, and it seems that Yuqin has reported the matter of the East Palace to the queen.
The queen is less than forty years old, but she is very well maintained, as if she is about thirty, her skin is fair, there is no trace of wrinkles, her facial features are delicate and atmospheric, she is not angry and arrogant, and she smiles but is extremely kind, which makes people feel close.
When the queen saw the light wind, she immediately laughed, took her hand, sat down with her, looked up and down, and then said, "Why are you thin again?" But lately you've been a picky eater again? ”
Feng Qingxu smiled: "The queen mother is wrong, the son is obviously a lot fatter, and he even sat on a low stool a few days ago!" ”
The queen couldn't help laughing, nodded her forehead, and said, "If you dare to say this, you are the most presumptuous in the entire palace!" ”
Feng Qingxu snuggled intimately on the queen's shoulder, and said: "That's not the queen mother's favor, who dares to say that the son is not half a word, the queen mother must have come out for the son first, the son of the son is used to the queen mother!" ”
The queen hugged the wind and smiled lightly.
Seeing that the queen did not mention the purpose of her coming, Feng Qingxu only gaged and amused, pretending to be ignorant. And the queen only laughed with her, and didn't mention anything else.
When Yang Xiaohan met Li Ronghua in front of Deyang Palace, his expression darkened, but he had to greet him with a smile: "Sister Ronghua is fine!" ”
Li Ronghua was a little surprised when he saw that it was Yang Xiaohan: "Why are you here too?" ”
Yang Xiaohan said with a smile: "This morning, the queen also announced that Xiaohan came to meet her. ”
When Xiu's mother saw it, she couldn't help but have a bad premonition in her heart. Since Li Ronghua and Yang Xiaohan entered the East Palace, the queen has not been summoned at all, and when they took the initiative to visit, the queen also shirked because she was unwell. When the queen sent someone to pass on the message this morning, they thought that it was because Li Ronghua had served Xiao Yuning last night that it was announced, but they didn't expect Yang Xiaohan to also be summoned, which is a bit intriguing.
But Li Ronghua didn't show her mother's foresight, she looked at Yang Xiaohan's haggard under the fat powder, and felt very happy in her heart, completely forgetting that Yang Xiaohan was injured to save her.
Li Ronghua stroked the delicate silk jade magnolia hairpin on his head, with a proud look on his face, but deliberately frowned and said: "Oh, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince stayed in the Ganquan Hall last night, I thought my sister was injured, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would stay to appease my sister!" ”
Yang Xiaohan's face changed slightly, but he quickly greeted him with a smile: "Where Sister Ronghua said, my sister's status is noble, how can Xiaohan be compared, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should stay with my sister." ”
Fang Ling saw her master swallowing her anger so much, and she didn't feel distressed and angry, but she also knew that Li Ronghua's identity was not something they could offend, so she could only secretly glance at Li Ronghua.
Mother Xiu had already noticed that Li Ronghua was wrong, and hurriedly said: "Master, it's not too early, it's better to meet the queen mother as soon as possible." ”
Li Ronghua snorted, and no longer paid attention to Yang Xiaohan, and walked straight towards the hall first.
Seeing them walking away, Fang Ling couldn't help but say angrily: "Master, look at Li Liangyuan......"
"Shut up," Yang Xiaohan interrupted Fang Ling's words, and looked at Li Ronghua's distant back faintly, "I have my own measure." ”
Outside the gate of Deyang Palace, Li Ronghua and Yang Xiaohan faintly heard the joyful laughter coming from inside, and they secretly said in their hearts, it seems that the queen is in a good mood today.
After the transmission, Li Ronghua and Yang Xiaohan entered Deyang Palace.
As soon as Li Ronghua and Yang Xiaohan entered the hall, they saw Feng Qingxu sitting beside the queen, chatting happily with the queen, and the queen's face, which had always been not angry and arrogant, showed a motherly smile.
Li Ronghua and Yang Xiaohan unconsciously sank in their hearts, and hurriedly bowed down: "The son sees the queen mother." ”
The sound of the queen and the wind talking did not stop, as if they had never seen the two of them, and no one called them up for a long time.
Li Ronghua and Yang Xiaohan could only kneel on the ground all the time, their foreheads pressed against the cold ground, and their hearts were uneasy.
The rest of the hall didn't seem to have seen them, and none of them said anything to remind the queen.
Li Ronghua and Yang Xiaohan kept their kneeling posture and did not dare to move, feeling that their legs were about to lose consciousness......
I don't know how long it took, but the queen finally set her eyes on the two people kneeling in the hall, and said in surprise: "Why is someone kneeling here?" Isn't this the good lady of the prince Xinna, hurry up and help him up! Visit the qin too, the two good ladies are here, why don't you remind the palace? ”
Li Ronghua was about to say something, but Yang Xiaohan hurriedly pulled her sleeve and said, "It's Sister Ronghua and Erchen who saw that the queen and the princess had a very happy conversation, and they didn't dare to disturb, and it had nothing to do with Aunt Qin, so please let the queen know it." ”
When the queen heard this, she smiled and said, "You are obedient, raise your head and come to the palace to take a look." ”
Yang Xiaohan raised his head cautiously, and saw that above the steps, the queen was sitting on the soft floor in a gorgeous dress, wearing a nine-tailed phoenix hairpin on her head, and only a few pearls and silk flowers were dotted between the buns, but the pearls were round, full and plump, white and flawless, which was a rare treasure. The queen's face is extremely dignified and beautiful, and the infiltration of many years of court life makes her look noble and elegant, and a pair of bright eyes seem to be able to see through people's souls.
When the queen saw Yang Xiaohan's gradually raised face, she frowned slightly, and turned her face to look at the wind lightly.
Feng Qingfu looked at Yang Xiaohan's delicate and shy face with a smile, and said: "Queen Mother, Erchen has long said that Yang Liangyuan has the appearance of sinking fish and geese, but the queen mother doesn't believe it. ”
The queen turned her head to look at Yang Xiaohan again, and said lightly: "It's not enough to be beautiful, how many beauties in the previous dynasty have become dry bones in the imperial city, and their hearts are not right, I'm afraid I don't even know how to die." ”
Yang Xiaohan looked frightened, hurriedly bowed down again, and said continuously: "Erchen doesn't dare to have a bad heart, look at the queen mother!" ”
Li Ronghua didn't know what was going on, and when he saw that the hall was a little depressed, he felt uneasy, so he had to kowtow with Yang Xiaohan. But Yang Xiaohan knew that the queen was going to stand up for the crown princess.
The queen said coldly: "Li Liangyuan, I heard that you made the prince angry yesterday, yes or no?" ”
When Li Ronghua heard the queen call his name, he suddenly trembled, and he didn't understand why the fire burned on him again. But after listening to the queen's words, I immediately understood the reason why the queen was angry. No matter how stupid she is, she knows that the queen has always treated Feng Qingxu as her daughter, and she will definitely be scolded today.
She didn't know how to reply, and suddenly remembered what Xiu's mother had said to her before, if the queen wanted to scold, she would just blindly admit her mistake and couldn't talk back.
So Li Ronghua kowtowed and said, "If the son is wrong, the queen mother forgives the sin!" If the son is wrong, the queen mother forgives the sin! ”
Feng was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but wonder if the person in front of him was Li Ronghua, and Li Ronghua would admit his mistake?
The queen saw that Li Ronghua kowtowed so sincerely, but it was not good to continue to blame, so she had to say: "One or two are scared to do this, and those who don't know still think that this palace is embarrassing for you, come and give you a seat." ”
Mother Xiu saw that the queen suddenly attacked, and her soul was almost frightened, and she thought that Li Ronghua should go on a rampage again, but she didn't expect Li Ronghua to admit her mistake sincerely, so that the queen was not good to blame again, and suddenly her heart fell to the ground.
The queen saw that there were still blood stains on the wound on Yang Xiaohan's head, but her pretty face became more and more pitiful, and she couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
At this time, someone from the palace came to report: "Queen Niang, Concubine Shuniang asks to see." ”
When the queen heard this, her slightly frowning eyebrows slowly loosened, and a smile appeared on her face: "Please come in." ”
Yang Xiaohan knew that Concubine Shu was the queen's cousin, and she had always been the most intimate with the queen, and Concubine Shu had a cheerful personality, with her, the scene should be easier.
Sure enough, Concubine Shu walked in with a smile on her face and said, "Why did I just arrive outside the hall today, I felt that the lotus flowers raised in those water tanks were not as beautiful as before, it turned out that the queen mother had a few more beauties, and people were more delicate than flowers, and they actually suppressed the color of the lotus." ”
Yang Xiaohan's face was pink, and he lowered his head shyly, but Li Ronghua only thought that what Concubine Shu said was interesting, and when he looked carefully, he saw that although Concubine Shu was nearly thirty, her skin was delicate and smooth, her eyebrows were very wide, her eyes were slightly raised, and she seemed to be smiling when she was not smiling.
The queen couldn't help laughing, pointed at her and said lightly to the wind: "Look at her mouth, she can tell her anything." ”
Concubine Shu said solemnly: "The most beautiful flower in this hall is sitting on it, but no one dares to say it, princess, do you say yes or no?" ”
The wind only smiled lightly. The queen was amused by Concubine Shu, and instantly forgot about her previous unhappiness, only shaking her head and laughing.
Concubine Shu looked at Li Ronghua and Yang Xiaohan, her eyes were amazed, and she said, "This is the good lady of His Royal Highness the Prince, she is really beautiful." ”
Li Ronghua and Yang Xiaohan both turned slightly red, and said straightly, "Concubine Shu has won the award."
Concubine Shu asked again: "Which one is Yang Liangyuan?" ”
Yang Xiaohan was about to answer, but Concubine Shu grabbed her hand and asked with a smile: "You are Yang Liangyuan, right?" ”
Yang Xiaohan was stunned, but Concubine Shu patted her hand and said, "Sure enough, it is the person personally ordered by His Royal Highness the Prince, who is really three points more beautiful than Ruan Liangdi back then, even the Moon Palace Chang'e is nothing more than that." ”
Yang Xiaohan was shocked in his heart, only to feel that Concubine Shu's smiling eyes were like thorns.
Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, Li Ronghua shot at Yang Xiaohan with jealous eyes like an arrow, making Yang Xiaohan like a man's back.
The queen's face gradually turned cold, and she said, "It's good to be dignified, what to do with her, didn't you see the injury on Yang Liangyuan's head?" When will they remember the lesson! ”
Concubine Shu hurriedly slapped her face lightly and said, "Niangniang forgive me, I blame me for this matter, when I see such a beauty, I won't say anything, and I won't mention this matter again." ”
After speaking, Concubine Shu looked at the wound on Yang Xiaohan's head with distress in her eyes, and said, "I have a good trauma plaster, and I will let the maid send it to your palace in a while, don't leave a scar on such a beautiful face." ”
The queen's face softened.
Yang Xiaohan also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, she didn't know where she offended Concubine Shu, so she pulled a few hatreds for herself, and she didn't dare to pin her hopes on Concubine Shu anymore.
Li Ronghua secretly gritted his teeth, and his disgust for Yang Xiaohan increased a few points.
And Feng Qingxu has always been like an outsider, drinking tea and quietly watching the good show in the hall.
Concubine Shu saw that the queen's face had eased, so she smiled and said: "I heard that Niangniang prepared two rare treasures for the two good ladies as a meeting gift, I wonder if I can make the concubines open their eyes?" ”
The queen curled the corners of her lips and said, "What treasures do you have?" Which time didn't the emperor let you pick first, the rewards like flowing water continue every day, and you are still looking at the things in the palace. ”
As he spoke, he had already instructed the palace people to present the gifts.
Li Ronghua and Yang Xiaohan hurriedly knelt down to thank the queen and accepted the gifts.
Concubine Shu pretended to be curious and stepped forward, and saw that the brocade box that Li Ronghua took was containing a set of extremely precious Nanzhu necklaces, a string of Nanzhu beads were the size of a thumb, round and lubricated, and what was even more rare was that each Nanzhu was the same size, brilliant and charming, natural, and faintly exuded a faint fragrance.
Rao is concubine is well-informed, and still said in surprise: "Isn't this the Xianghai Nanzhu that the mermaid country paid tribute to?" It is said that there is only one fragrant sea pearl among the 10,000 fragrant sea mussels, which is extremely precious, and the queen is really willing, such a good baby, even the concubines are jealous. ”
Li Ronghua held the brocade box with a proud face, and glanced at Yang Xiaohan, but he didn't know what was in her box, and it must not be as precious as her.
