Chapter 129: Thunder Means
Lianzhi returned to the East Palace, and as soon as he entered the Frost Cloud Palace, he saw Wen Zhiyu sitting on a chair reading a book: "How long have you been here?" ”
"It didn't take long." Wen Zhiyu put down the book and looked at Lianzhi, "Why are your clothes wet, go and change your clothes first." ”
Lian Zhi went in to change her clothes, she changed her clothes and walked out: "Did you go to the Five Princes' Mansion today?" ”
"Well, it started to rain as soon as I came back, and this year's rainy season is really muggy." Wen Zhiyu sighed, "I see that you don't have a few ice basins in this hall, aren't they hot?" ”
"I'm not hot, if it's hot, I'll have someone add a few ice basins." Lianzhi sat down on the chair next to Wen Zhiyu.
"No need." Wen Zhiyu asked, "You just came back from Concubine Shu's place?" ”
Lianzhi nodded: "I finally persuaded Concubine Shuniang, but I looked at Yunxi and felt a little distressed." ”
"What's wrong with her?"
"Yunxi is usually protected by Concubine Shu and His Royal Highness, but this time His Royal Highness was seriously injured in bed, Concubine Shu couldn't take care of her, watching her cry like that in the heavy rain, I felt sour in my heart. Later, when I brought back the unconscious concubine, I saw her so scared for the first time. ”
"Concubine Shu and Zhiyan did leave the best things to Yunxi, and they usually protect her too thoroughly, but fortunately you are still there today."
"I hope Yunxi can be on her own, but I don't want this process to come too quickly, I really feel uncomfortable seeing her like that." Lianzhi remembered that Wen Yunxi was stopped and not allowed to leave the palace, "The emperor is really ruthless, and he refused to let Concubine Shu and Yunxi go to see His Royal Highness." ”
"What's going on?" Wen Zhiyu didn't know about this yet.
Lianzhi told Wen Zhiyu about the experience, Wen Zhiyu didn't expect Wen Xize to be ruthless to such an extent: "Is my father crazy this time?" ”
"I think the emperor is very sober, he just doesn't want to take the time to say a word to Concubine Shu, so he uses this thunderous method to suppress it directly. There are so many concubines in these three palaces and six courts, how many are sincere to the emperor? Concubine Niangniang has affection for the emperor, but unfortunately the emperor himself cut off this affection, and what will Concubine Shu do in the future, the emperor can't complain about her. ”
"Now I have to maneuver in front of my father and the emperor a little more, at least let Concubine Shu know each other." Wen Zhiyu pondered who would be better to come forward in this matter.
"I have a suitable person in mind, but I don't know if she will help with this."
"Who?"
"Wan Guiren!"
In the past six months, the most favored person in the harem is Wan Guiren, Wen Xize's preference for her even Wen Zhiyu was a little surprised: "Will she help?" ”
"This time, the concubine lost her honor in front of the palace and hindered the trouble, and the nobles helped to maneuver in front of the emperor, otherwise the emperor would have banned the concubine's feet with a holy decree now." Lianzhi replied, "I hope that Noble Wan can help us again." ”
For the next few days, it rained almost every day, and even the air was damp. At the same time, the news of the assassination of His Royal Highness Wu was also full of turmoil in the city, and Dali Temple and Jingzhao Mansion Yin pursued this matter at the same time, causing panic.
Just when the queen thought that Concubine Shu would continue to ask to see the emperor for the sake of Wen Zhiyan, Concubine Shu's reaction caught Luo Xuanran off guard.
Since Concubine Shu left in front of the imperial study that day, she has never asked to see Wen Xize again, but has been uncharacteristically concerned about the affairs of the harem. Concubine Shu already had the right to associate the six palaces, and Luo Xuanran was just scolded by Wen Xize some time ago, so at this time, Concubine Shu cheered up to manage the affairs of the harem, but took the opportunity to take over a lot of power.
Everyone originally thought that after Concubine Shu knelt down in the rain in the imperial study last time to beg to see the emperor, the emperor would punish her, but after a few days, Wen Xize didn't react, and she slowly stopped thinking.
In the Qianchun Palace, Iris Dai sat on the couch, holding her head with one hand and looking out of the window through the half-open window.
"What are you looking at, so distracted?" Wen Xize suddenly appeared beside Iris Dai, and Iris Dai hurriedly sat up straight and looked at her side: "Why doesn't the emperor call him a concubine when he wakes up?" ”
"With Li Sheng to serve, I don't bother you." Wen Xize sat down opposite Iris Dai, "I just slept for so long, and you have been sitting here?" ”
Iris Dai pushed the herbal tea down in front of Wen Xize: "The emperor just took a nap in the afternoon, how could it be so long?" ”
Wen Xize took a sip of herbal tea, and felt that the irritability in his heart had dissipated: "It's really hot these days. As he spoke, he reached out to take the iced grapes on the table, but the plate was removed by Kite: "The emperor forgot, you used a lot of ice grapes before taking a break, and after you woke up, you drank herbal tea, and you should be careful of feeling uncomfortable eating ice grapes." ”
"You dare to control me." Wen Xize didn't go to eat chilled grapes anymore.
Kite Dai suddenly saw a jade pendant hanging from Wen Xize's waist, and felt a little fresh: "The jade pendant hanging on the emperor's waist has not been seen by the concubine before." ”
It was a blood-red jade pendant, and I had never seen a jade pendant of this color, so I was a little curious.
"This is the birthday gift given to me by the second prince on my birthday a few years ago, exquisite jade. There is such a treasure in the world, and it is also known and heartfelt. ”
"Why haven't I seen the emperor wear it before?"
"This thing has been kept in the Treasure Pavilion, a few days ago they sorted out the Treasure Pavilion, I happened to see this jade pendant, so I took it out."
"The concubine used to be an errand boy at Concubine Xian, and seeing that Concubine Xian and the second prince are doing their best for you, they can even find this kind of good thing for you. The concubine heard that the second prince gave you a piece of exquisite jade, but I haven't seen it, but I am fortunate to see it today, this jade pendant is really not a vulgar thing. Iris praised.
Wen Xize was a little helpless: "You are also taboo when you speak, and you can even say what happened to be an errand in Concubine Xian before." ”
"What's so bad about that?" Yuan Dai asked, "Could it be that the emperor dislikes the low status of concubines?" ”
Wen Xize shook his head: "Concubine Xian is very taboo when others mention when she was a palace maid before. ”
"Everybody is different." That's all I said.
Wen Xize asked: "I seem to like this piece very much, so why don't I reward you." ”
"Concubines don't dare to ask for this kind of good thing, besides, concubines already have a lot of jewelry and accessories, and they don't want more." I don't know why, Irisi looked at the blood-red color of the jade pendant, and felt uncomfortable.
"You're content."
"To be content is to be happy."
Just as Wen Xize and Yuan Dai were talking, Li Sheng came in and said, "Your Majesty, Concubine Xian is here." ”
"As soon as she was mentioned, she came, and it was really timely." Wen Xize said to Li Sheng, "Let her in." ”
"Concubine, don't you avoid it first, Sister Xian should have something to tell you." Iris Dai was about to get up and leave, but Wen Xize grabbed her hand and asked her not to leave: "No need, there can be anything you can't listen to, you just sit here and don't leave." ”
"The concubine obeys." Iris laughed.
When Concubine Xian came in, she saw Yuan Dai sitting next to Wen Xize at a glance: "The concubine asks the emperor for peace." ”
"Get up." Wen Xize replied.
Concubine Xian stood in front of Wen Xize and Yuan Dai, and was a little embarrassed when she saw that Yuan Dai did not mean to get up and give way.
Iris Dai opened her mouth and asked, "Why is Sister Xianfei free?" ”
"The concubine thought it was hot, so she made some cold cakes for the emperor." Concubine Xian said, and put a plate of cold cakes brought by Xiang'er on the small table on the couch, "Your Majesty, taste it, how does it taste." ”
Wen Xize instead pushed the small plate to the side of Iris Dai: "Iris Dai, you taste it." ”
The cold cake is small and exquisite, I like it when I look at it, I pick up a piece and take a bite, and the entrance is cool and sweet: "The concubine is really touched with the emperor's blessing, and the cold cake made by Sister Xian's sister can only look at it before." ”
"You have been with Concubine Xian for so long, and you haven't eaten it?" Wen Xize was a little unconvinced.
Yuan Dai replied: "The things that Sister Xian gave to the emperor are all unique, and this mental strength and concubine can't be compared." But then again, this cold cake is really delicious, with a unique craftsmanship, and it is very suitable for summer. ”
As she spoke, she picked up a piece and fed it to Wen Xize, this cold cake was relatively small, and Wen Xize ate it in one bite: "Sure enough, it's the craftsmanship of Concubine Xian, but it's probably because you fed me with your own hands, so it's extra delicious." ”
"The emperor doesn't make fun of concubines." Iris smiled.
Listening to the conversation between Wen Xize and Kite, Concubine Xian's face was a little ugly, she was ignored.
Yuan Dai suddenly looked at Concubine Xian, who had been standing beside her: "Sister Concubine Xian is still here, won't the emperor say a few words to Sister Concubine Xian?" This plate of cold cakes is all the heart of Sister Xianfei, and this pastry is not easy to make. ”
Wen Xize asked, "Concubine Xian, are you here today for something?" ”
"Your Majesty, the concubine is here today because of Sister Shufei, I saw that Sister Shufei's face was not very good a few days ago, should the emperor go to see Sister Shufei?" Concubine Xian asked.
Wen Xize stared at Concubine Xian, she came to mention Concubine Shu today, her mind was not so simple, Wen Xize was about to say something, Yuan Dai spoke: "That's really a coincidence, the concubine also saw Concubine Shu Niangniang two days ago, it looks like it has indeed decreased a lot, think about it carefully, this is only a few days of work." ”
"Where did you meet Lady Lady?" Wen Xize was interested.
