Chapter 12: Ancestral Tradition
Empress Qin sighed, lay down, closed her eyes and didn't speak again.
Ye Tingfeng turned around and asked Begonia, "Is the fragrance coming back?" ”
Seeing Haitang nodding, Ye Tingfeng got up and retired.
So, Ye Tingfeng, who went alone, went back and brought another person with him-Qin Ruolan.
After listening to Feng at night, he was tired after returning to Fengyang Palace, and no longer summoned the concubines in Yijing Palace, threw Qin Ruolan into the dormitory after throwing Qin Ruolan into the side hall, and took out the jade pendant he got in the morning to take a closer look.
The finest color of the sheep fat jade, polished into a ring. On the ring wall, the phoenix with wings ready to fly is carved, and the long nine tails are wrapped around both sides of the ring, which is very delicate and beautiful.
Ye Tingfeng took it in his hand and looked at it carefully, and after looking at it for a long time, he didn't see any wonders. Left and right, are the common objects in the palace.
Emperor Jianning held a piece in his hand, does it mean that this jade pendant is a pair, one for two people?
But one of them is one by one, and there are more things that can be matched into pairs, how could Emperor Jianning smile so brightly at her?
Looking left and right, I couldn't see what it was, and I heard Feng take the jade pendant in his hand and hang it around.
Slowly, feeling sleepy, he threw the jade pendant aside and fell asleep on the bed.
When I woke up at night, Lu Miao'er, who was beside Empress Qin, had been decreed by Emperor Jianning to be a six-grade wonderful beauty and lived in the Purple Moon Pavilion of the Painting Liang Palace.
Cai Xiang pointed in the direction of the side hall and smiled at Ye Tingfeng, "Princess, when the emperor's will spread throughout the harem, her face sank like something, and she just smashed something. ”
Hearing Kaede laugh when she heard this.
Qin Ruolan came to her to take the lead and become a concubine in one fell swoop, but she didn't want to fall behind Lu Miaoer in the end.
Before the time, Qin Ruolan went to the main hall to listen to Ye Feng and say goodbye.
On weekdays, Emperor Jianning went to Fengyang Hall after the court, which was already a well-known thing in the harem. Qin Ruolan is like this, she just wants to take the opportunity to walk more in front of Emperor Jianning.
Listening to Feng at night, he knew what Qin Ruolan meant, and he didn't find out, so he let Qin Ruolan sit in the outer hall.
When it was time for dinner, the flowers and branches of the companion were spreading, and the fragrant Qin Ruolan finally returned to the side hall.
Qin Ruolan has no grade, and she didn't deliberately stay at night Tingfeng, so she can't eat with Ye Tingfeng.
But it was at this time that Emperor Jianning came.
After retiring from the palace people on the left and right, Emperor Jianning listened to Feng sit down at the same night, just like a normal husband and wife, and it was rare to be quiet.
After finishing the meal, Emperor Jianning listened to Feng return to the inner hall on the same night, and as soon as the door of the palace was closed, he whispered.
Emperor Jianning was concerned about how Ye Tingfeng could let an outsider, Qin Ruolan, live in Fengyang Palace, and what Ye Tingfeng cared about was what the name of that jade pendant was.
Emperor Jianning smiled after hearing this, and ordered Wenqing to bring a bowl of clean water in a large bowl of blue and white enamel.
Handing over his jade pendant to Ye Tingfeng's palm, Emperor Jianning smiled, "Feng'er, look at this piece." ”
Ye Tingfeng looked carefully at Emperor Jianning's piece, which was the same size as the jade pendant she got, but the difference was that the ring wall was carved with a dragon soaring through the clouds.
Looking left and right, I can't see the famous hall, and I heard Feng put the two jade pendants together and shook them lightly, listened to the sound of their light touch, and said with a smile, "It's really a beautiful pair of dragon and phoenix jade pendants." ”
Emperor Jianning knew that Ye Tingfeng didn't see it, so he took the jade pendant from Ye Tingfeng's hand, rolled up his sleeves and put it in the water bowl.
After ordering Wenqing to extinguish the candlesticks in the inner hall and leave only one lamp, Emperor Jianning took Ye Tingfeng into his arms and asked her to look at the jade pendant in the bowl.
Listening to Feng's eyes lit up at night, he finally noticed the difference.
These two jade pendants are both light and dark carvings. When taking out the water, the dragon pendant is the dragon pendant, and the phoenix pendant is the phoenix pendant, but as soon as it enters the water, the dragon pendant becomes the phoenix pendant, and the phoenix pendant becomes the dragon pendant.
This is still secondary, the important thing is that in the phoenix shape of the dragon pendant, a small Mu character is secretly carved, and in the dragon pendant of the phoenix pendant, a small philosophical character is secretly carved.
Such a delicate carving skill, Ye Jie has never seen it, and she knows that this cannot be Da Yue's craftsmanship.
Reluctantly took his eyes off the two jade pendants in the water, and listened to Feng turn around and ask Emperor Jianning, and couldn't help the smile in his eyes, "Wan Yan Zhe, the carving skills of these two jade pendants are so fine, where did you find a craftsman?" ”
"This ......" Emperor Jianning looked at the shining eyes of Ye Tingfeng and said with a smile, "This is a ...... handed down from the ancestors."
"Liar!" Ye Tingfeng stretched out his hand and patted Emperor Jianning's chest, and said, "How can the jade pendant handed down by the ancestors have the names of you and me." ”
"Yes, what has been passed down from the ancestors, how can there be the names of you and me?" Emperor Jianning hugged Ye Tingfeng in his arms and said with a smile, "Feng'er, it seems that our marriage was already settled by our ancestors." ”
Ye Tingfeng lay in the arms of Emperor Jianning and smiled very happily.
Regardless of whether this pair of jade pendants was specially made by Emperor Jianning, or it was really left by the ancestors as Emperor Jianning said, in short, she received the intention.
That night, Wan Yanzhe stayed in the Fengyang Palace.
When Emperor Jianning got up the next day, he listened to Feng's jade hand gently holding Emperor Jianning's bedclothes, and the corners of his mouth were full of smiles.
Emperor Jianning lightly kissed Ye Tingfeng's forehead and whispered, "Feng'er, I'm going to the court." ”
Ye Tingfeng opened his eyes like a cat, smiled sweetly at Emperor Jianning, and let go of his little hand.
Ye Tingfeng looked at Emperor Jianning's soft smile, closed her eyes with satisfaction, she wanted to get up and help Emperor Jianning change clothes, but when she smiled enough in her dream and opened her eyes, the sun outside the window had risen into the sky, and the sunlight shone into the dormitory through the window carved into a lily, falling on the ground.
Cai Xiang, who was sitting on the side of the embroidered belly, saw that Feng woke up at night, and said with a smile, "Princess, are you up?" ”
Ye Tingfeng stretched out in the bed and asked, "What time is it?" ”
"A moment in the hour." Cai Xiang put down the flower bandage in her hand, stood up and put up the gauze tent, "When the emperor left, he said that the princess was tired, so there was no need to ask the princess to get up early." ”
Ye Tingfeng blushed on his face, and said to Cai Xiang, "Go and prepare water." ”
Cai Xiang pursed her lips and smiled, went out for a while, and came in with Wen Qing.
When the two of them were serving Ye Tingfeng to freshen up, Litmus walked in from outside, and there was a trace of disgust on her immature little face.
Cai Xiang was surprised, it was not a day or two since litmus arrived in the Fengyang Palace, and now it is the first time that he has an expression like this.
Wen Qing whispered to Litmus, "Litmus, what's going on?" ”
Shi Rui said in a cold voice, "That eldest lady has been to the main hall twice. ”
The eldest lady in Litmu's mouth is Qin Ruolan.
Emperor Jianning came to stay in the Fengyang Palace, and the fact that Qin Ruolan didn't even see the corner of the robe was spread by Yao Yuan intentionally or unintentionally.
Right now, Qin Ruolan has become a joke.
Mrs. Zhaoyue has the appearance of a captivating city, how could Qin Ruolan's puliu posture make Emperor Jianning enter the dragon eye. It's better to stay by Queen Qin's side like a wonderful beauty, and you can still get some attention.
"Come on, just blast out." Cai Xiang looked at Litmus's cold little face and said, "Why be so angry with her?" ”
Litmus looked up at Cai Xiang, did not reply, but fell on Ye Tingfeng's body, and said very seriously, "Master, can you really blast out?" ”
Ye Tingfeng held Yu Hai's hand for a moment, and after thinking for a moment, he smiled at Shi Rui, "If she is disrespectful, you can blast her out." ”
She heard at night that Feng was not Queen Qin, and she had to give three points to this woman with a big family behind her. In the Guan Ju Palace, she had already given Queen Qin enough face, if this Qin Ruolan dared to be presumptuous in her palace, she really had no reason to be used to it.
Shi Rui showed a sneer in her eyes, and replied to the childish voice of Feng Tong who listened to the night, "Master, the slave knows." ”
With that, he held his little head high, turned around and went out.
Wen Qing looked at the back of the litmus and said to the incense, "What's wrong with litmus today, it's like a wooden doll on weekdays, why are you angry with that unruly lady today?" ”
Cai Xiang shook her head again and again, and hung a pair of broken jade earrings in her hand on Ye Tingfeng's ears, "I can't guess what Litmus thinks." ”
Litmus's thoughts, Cai Xiang and Wen Qing couldn't guess. Shi Rui dislikes Qin Ruolan like this, just because this Qin Ruolan's behavior is very similar to the second miss of the Liu family, the person who makes her heart glow with strong hatred......"
Qin Ruolan was kicked out of Fengyang Hall by Litmus.
Yes, it is the Fengyang Palace, the entire Fengyang Palace, not the main hall of the Fengyang Palace.
When Ting Feng heard the news that night, Qin Ruolan had already knelt outside the Fengyang Hall with tears in her eyes for a long time. Ai's green palace dress was stained with water stains, and she looked soft, but her eyes flashed with hatred.
Ye Tingfeng did not go outside to see Qin Ruolan's appearance, but went into the inner hall to sit down, and then ordered Yao Yuan to call Shi Rui in.
Litmus held her little face high, and there was a hint of pride in her eyes. Yao Yuan, who brought litmus in, held back his laughter until his shoulders trembled.
Ye Tingfeng didn't know why, and asked Yao Yuan, "Yao Yuan, what's wrong?" Why did he knock people out of Fengyang Hall and kneel? ”
Yao Yuan coughed lightly and said respectfully to Ye Tingfeng, "Master, Miss Ruolan doesn't know the rules and sits on the treasure chair. ”
The treasure chair in the Fengyang Hall can only be sat on by the main seat of the first palace. Wen Zhaoyi, as a second-grade concubine, is not qualified to sit on the treasure chair of Yaohua Palace.
Qin Ruolan is like this, it is extremely rude, and it is not an exaggeration to kill with a cane.
Listening to the doubts in Feng's eyes, Qin Ruolan didn't put herself in her eyes anymore, she must have read the palace rules before entering the palace, how could she sit on the treasure chair?
"Be more detailed." Listen to Feng at night and say to Yao Yuan again.
"This ......" Yao Yuan looked at Litmus again, bowed his head to Ye Tingfeng and said, "Master, the slave was not in the palace at that time, I only heard Litmus say this." ”
"Litmu......" Listening to the night maple looking back at litmus.
Shi Rui stood in front of Ye Tingfeng, raised her head, and said with a look of neither humility nor arrogance on her little face, "Master, she just wants to sit on the treasure chair, and the slave and maid will blast her out." ”
"Do you want to sit?" Ye Tingfeng raised the corners of her mouth and smiled, "In other words, she didn't sit?" ”
"Are you really waiting for her to sit up?" Litmus had a hint of confusion on her childish little face, and replied stiffly, "Then, the slave will beat her out with a stick." ”
Cai Xiang and Wen Qing couldn't help it, so they didn't look over their heads and laughed.
Ye heard Feng cough lightly, didn't hold back, and laughed.
Although she knew that litmus was nothing to do, she couldn't tell how happy she was.
After laughing enough, Ye listened to Feng say to Shi, "Litmus, you did the right thing, there is nothing wrong at all." However......" Ye listened to Feng's words, raised his eyebrows, and said, "You can't leave Fengyang Hall this month." ”
Shi Rui's face didn't matter, Fengyang Hall was big, if she didn't go to see Zhiliu on weekdays, she rarely went out.
Ye Tingfeng raised his head and smiled at Yao Yuan, "You go out and personally return Qin Ruolan to Empress Qin." Qin Ruolan didn't know the rules, and talked about it in detail. The news that she was kicked out by litmus spread. As for litmus, he said that I had them beat her twice and put her in confinement for a month. ”
Returning Qin Ruolan to Empress Qin is a confirmation of the fact that Qin Ruolan ignored the palace rules. said that he punished litmus, but he gave Queen Qin three points of thin noodles.
After all, Qin Ruolan is the sister-in-law of Queen Qin, and there is no one who is the head of the palace who loses her temper and bombards her.
So, Qin Ruolan's wish to enter the Fengyang Hall and get the moon first near the water tower was not fulfilled, and she was blasted out of the litmus that looked at her unpleasantly.
She has become a complete joke in the harem.
Empress Qin was so angry with this that she trembled, and her stomach twitched and ached several times. She issued an edict and ordered Qin Ruolan to kneel for two days and copy the palace rules a hundred times to show a light punishment.
Qin Ruolan was full of grievances, she obviously just wanted to take two steps closer to see the coral trees on both sides of the treasure chair, but she didn't want to get close yet, she was splashed with tea by a little palace maid, pointing her nose and blasting out.
She has been a concubine for fifteen years, and she has never suffered such humiliation.
And the person who punished her to kneel and scolded her in every way was just a concubine born to a small concubine, and her identity was noble.
On the afternoon of the second day of the first month of the fourth year of Jianning, Empress Qin sent a message to Qin Guozhang and ordered him to enter the palace and take Qin Ruolan out of the palace.
Regarding Qin Ruolan's actions, Qin Guozhang didn't dare to let her stay in the harem anymore because he wanted his concubine to be his queen.
Qin Ruolan's arrogant personality is too easy to cause trouble for the Qin family.
On the same day, Qin Guozhang replied to Queen Qin, and on the third day, he entered the palace to lead Qin Ruolan out of the palace.
At that time, Qin Guozhang will bring in another daughter of the Qin family.
Like Queen Qin, she is a concubine, but her biological mother is the daughter of the Wang family of the world.
Queen Qin was so angry that her stomach twitched twice, after she was a country, Qin Guozhang still despised their mother and daughter so far.
In the final analysis, it was because of her maternal grandmother's low status.
Empress Qin's maternal grandmother, He, was originally a prostitute trained in the Moon Tower.
He traveled with the army and served by Xie Yuanxing's side, and gave birth to Xie Shi, the biological mother of Empress Qin.
He gave birth to Xie, and Xie entered Xie's mansion, but He was still a prostitute. Later, Xie Yuanxing gave it to his subordinate Xu Jingcun at the time. He gave birth to another daughter in the Xu family, which was the biological mother of the third princess, Xu Ronghua during the time of Emperor Shiyuan.
Empress Qin's status in the Qin family was low, if it weren't for Xu Ronghua's many accommodations in the palace, she would not have entered the palace as a maid and waited by the side of the young King Jin at that time.
For Xu Ronghua, Queen Qin was grateful in her heart, so she connived at the unreasonable nature of the third princess.
The people of Otsuki do not discriminate too much against prostitutes, but among the nobles, prostitutes are still lowly existences. The He family did not improve her status because she was the daughter of the concubine and the daughter of the granddaughter. but her children and grandchildren were despised because of her.
Just when Empress Qin waited for three days later that Qin Guozhang could come in and take Qin Ruolan, who didn't know the etiquette, out of the palace, Emperor Jianning 'encountered' in the Guanju Palace and knelt in front of the palace gate to repent, crying pear blossoms with rain, I saw the sad Qin Ruolan.
On the fourth day of the first month of the fourth year of Emperor Jianning, Emperor Jianning named the daughter of the Qin family Ruolan as a good person of Zhengqipinlan, and gave her the Ningxiang Garden of Yaohua Palace.
There is no master in Yaohua Palace, only one Wen Zhaoyi. Qin Ruolan's various deeds have spread all over the harem, and Wen Zhaoyi heard that Qin Ruolan lived in her palace, and her head buzzed.
Being a concubine was what Qin Ruolan wanted, but there was no joy in her heart.
Just because, Lu Miaoer is a beauty of the sixth grade, and she is a lover of the seventh grade of the lower grade.
In addition, after Emperor Jianning first came to the beautiful woman after the palace banquet on the sixth day of the first month of the fourth year of Jianning, Qin Ruolan's pampered nature as a concubine in her heart was completely stimulated.
Lan Liangren did this three times and four times, making trouble openly and secretly, so that the harem concubines set their eyes on her, and for a while they forgot about Le Chongrong and Yun Ronghua who were pregnant.
The more arrogant Qin Ruolan is, the happier she is when she listens to Feng at night.
Qin Ruolan's labor is not someone else's heart, but Queen Qin's. However, half a month passed, and Queen Qin, who had already raised her body, became ill and weak again.
The unhappiness that has disappeared for nearly two months has returned, and after eating and spitting two bites, even drinking a sip of tea, I can vomit upside down.
The weaker Empress Qin's body was, the more the Xie and Qin families felt that Empress Qin's back seat would not be long in coming.
The Xie family is okay to say, after all, Miao Meiren is low-key, which is very much in line with Xie Yuanxing's intentions. The Qin family was restless, afraid that if Empress Qin died, it would be difficult for Qin Ruolan to do anything with her temperament.
So, at the palace banquet on the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, Qin Guozhang, who was invited to attend, brought in two younger sisters to Queen Qin.
The older fifteen-year-old, half a year younger than Qin Ruolan, is called Qin Ruoshui, and is the concubine born to the Wang family of the side room. The younger, fourteen years old, named Qin Ruoting, is the concubine born to the Jiang family in the side room.
Looking at the two beauties who stayed after the palace banquet and were led by the little palace maid to the Guanju Palace, Queen Qin wanted to cry without tears.
On the seventeenth day of the first month of the fourth year of Jianning, Empress Qin said that she was ill.
Qin Guozhang's move made Xie Yuanxing deeply disgusted!
Empress Qin's position as queen came by virtue of his Xie Yuanxing's contribution to helping Emperor Jianning as emperor. How can the Qin family have any virtue, and what kind of face can they have to send the Qin family's daughter to the harem?
On the twentieth day of the first month of the fourth year of Jianning, Emperor Jianning stayed in Fengyang Palace.
Under the candlelight, Emperor Jianning sat on the beauty couch and took a book of folds to look at carefully, while Ye Tingfeng held a wolf's hair, and drew a picture of the tense relationship between the Xie and Qin families on half a piece of rice paper on the small table.
Emperor Jianning looked up and saw Ye Tingfeng biting his cherry lip and meditating under the candlelight, a strand of hair was in the corner of his mouth, and there was a little saliva. The jade hand was dipped in ink and held on the cheeks, lining the skin like jade.
With a smile in his eyes, Emperor Jianning reached out and took the hair from the corner of Ye Tingfeng's mouth.
Ye Tingfeng looked up and saw Emperor Jianning's soft smiling face.
