Chapter 36: The Sandpiper and the Clam Fight (1)
As soon as the words fell, the queen raised her head suddenly, as if she couldn't believe the emperor's order. How could he let Xu Zhaoyi meddle in the affairs of the harem? How could he!
The corners of Xu Zhaoyi's mouth were slightly hooked, she lowered her head and eyes, hiding the mockery, but meekly helped the emperor out of the Qingsi Palace.
Xin'er closed the door of the palace, and only the queen was left in the palace.
Between the opening and closing of the temple door, sunlight instantly spilled in, and was instantly cut off.
She held back her tears and sat on the ground, smiling bitterly.
Xu Zhaoyi, Xu Zhaoyi, is he finally going to support this woman to take the position?
After all these years, did he care about Kang and Diji? I'm afraid that the person in the world who wants her to die the most is the emperor himself! Now that he is pretending to be held accountable, shouldn't he be the one who should bear the most responsibility?
……
"Little Star ......"
After taking the medicine and covering the quilt, she sweated profusely, Shen Yan woke up and felt much more refreshed, her head was not as stuffy as Fangcai, as soon as she turned her head, she saw Xiaoxing next to the bed, and called out loudly.
"Emperor, are you feeling better? Do you want to drink some water, or eat some white rice porridge? When Xiaoxing heard Shen Yan call her, she happily threw herself to the edge of the bed, and said with a smile with a pair of bright eyes.
"Hmm."
Shen Yan looked at Xiaoxing, his mood suddenly improved a lot, after eating white porridge, his stomach was comfortable, the soreness in his limbs dissipated, his strength returned, the feeling of weakness eased, and he was not so uncomfortable.
"What's going on out there today?"
Xiao Xing told Shen Yan what happened in the morning, his expression was vivid, his eyebrows danced, and his exaggerated body movements made Shen Yan laugh.
"Emperor, what are you laughing at, I'm going to be angry! You don't know how relieved those female officials of the Shanggong Bureau are kneeling there begging for mercy. ”
Xiaoxing pinched his waist, rolled his eyes and said angrily.
Shen Yan stopped teasing her, and his eyes looked around, it was indeed quite different from yesterday.
At least the bedding of this tent is new, the incense burner placed over there has also been changed, and there is actually agarwood incense. It would be useful to think about what happened when she was asleep.
"In the future, in the palace, I will not be an emperor who no one cares about. You also have to be careful. Shen Yan reached out and stroked Xiaoxing's face and said softly.
This time, everyone in the harem will remember that there is also a Kang and Emperor Ji in the Heavenly Family.
Xiaoxing nodded and said hesitantly: "Your Highness once told me that you were bullied by the people in this palace and lost your memory, so you went out of the palace. I don't know now how excesses they are! Now back to the palace, it is very dangerous. Don't worry, I will definitely protect you! His Royal Highness is still waiting for you to reunite outside the palace. ”
It turned out that Wang Huanzhi explained her arrival and entry into the palace in this way.
Shen Yan didn't plan to say more, but said regretfully: "It's just that I hurt you, the one who gave you 'Jing Nu Qishu', he ...... with you"
"Emperor! What are you doing with that nerd? It doesn't matter where he has you. Xiaoxing interrupted Shen Yan's words and said sullenly.
She looked like this, saying that she didn't care, but her face was full of reluctance. Shen Yan was actually very hesitant about this matter.
Wang Huanzhi is playing a big game.
The power of the country is a game, and she and Xiaoxing are just chess pieces. In order to find the reason for crossing over, she willingly stayed.
However, Xiaoxing's heart is worried at this time, is she really suitable for entering the palace?
"Forget it, you make your own decisions, and I respect you no matter what decisions you make."
After thinking for a long time, Shen Yan shook his head, looked at Xiaoxing's pure eyes, and said with a light smile. No matter what the outcome is, she respects Xiaoxing's own ideas and choices.
Xiaoxing grinned, put away the dishes and chopsticks on the side, and said coquettishly: "Emperor Ji is the smartest and the best." After this, look at those people in the Shanggong Bureau who dare to bully us? ”
"Yes, at least now the first move is the right move."
She just wanted to make the emperor think of Kang and Emperor Ji's sister in the name of praying for the first emperor, but she didn't expect that once she fainted, she could make the most use of this move.
It's just that the queen and Xu Zhaoyi are involved, and things are a little troublesome. But the chess game has never been afraid of trouble, only a simple confrontation.
The more people involved, the mudder the water, and the easier it is to find the truth.
……
The queen made a decree on the same day, and almost all the maids and officials of the Shanggong Bureau were sent to the Qingsi Palace. Bailai people rushed to repair day and night, and for a while, the inside and outside of the temple were like a busy city.
Because of the repair, the queen ordered someone to take Shen Yan to the Chengqian Palace, saying that she could recuperate with peace of mind.
The queen is the emperor's young wife, born in the Zhao family, and her father is Zhao Yiheng, the prime minister of the dynasty, who is extremely noble. The Chengqian Palace of the previous dynasties is the queen's dormitory, and the standard etiquette system is higher than that of other concubines in the harem.
Today's queen abides by the etiquette system, and the palace is exquisitely arranged. Although it is low-key, it can only be used by queens. Among them, the most gorgeous is the phoenix screen on each side, the painting and embroidery are peaceful, the silk thread is delicate, and it is very magnificent.
When Shen Yan entered this Chengqian Hall and saw her, he only felt that the queen was more than gentle and dignified, but she was not majestic enough, and her kind eyes made people inevitably take off some precautions.
It's a pity that she is not a fledgling child, and when she saw the overly bright smile on the queen's face at this time, she secretly raised her guard.
"Kanghe, in the past few days, you will renovate your Qingsi Palace, you will live in the Chengqian Hall first, and the side hall and the main palace have been ordered to be cleaned, so you can live with peace of mind."
The queen is the same age as the emperor, and there are already some fine lines at the corners of her eyes, but it does not affect her appearance. The red brocade large-sleeved shirt is lined with a fair complexion, and a simple lotus jade crown hairpin is on the bun, bright and unconventional. She smiled at Shen Yan at this time, so she just smiled.
"Kanghe, thank you for the mercy of the queen."
Shen Yan is gentle and blessed, which can be regarded as inheriting the queen's kindness.
"Why is there only such a maid by your side? Gai Ming'er asked the people of the Shanggong Bureau to pick some handmaidens who were quick with their hands and feet for you. ”
Xiaoxing stood behind Shen Yan, carrying a small bag, and the queen's eyes fell on her, leading to an inexplicable smile.
The maid who served by Kang He's side was assassinated after her death, and the matter was secretly concealed by Wang Huanzhi. The queen has not interfered in the affairs of the Qingsi Palace for many years, but she is only considered to have been deducted by the Shanggong Bureau.
Shen Yan had no objection to this, she didn't think that the queen would be so kind, and she wouldn't despise Wang Huanzhi's layout in the harem.
"It's all up to the mother. It's just that Xiaoxing has served by my side for many years, and the newly selected maids will first sprinkle and sweep outside the hall, and there are more strange maids in the hall, so I don't feel at ease. ”
Thinking of her grievances over the years, the queen felt a little regretful, "Those maids are serving outside first, if there is something you can see, you can just pick it back, it's not a big deal." ”
The two chatted briefly, and the queen's personal female official Fengxue led Shen Yan and Xiaoxing to the side hall, and the hall was plain and elegant, and the dark fragrance flowed, which made people feel better.
