Chapter 149: The Concubine and the Emperor
When the time came, Ying Shu's mood was almost calm, so she went to the banquet with Ruotong to chat, and when today's hunting and competition were over, Ying Shu went to the queen's tent to ask the queen to salute, the queen has always been kind, but said that Ying Shu was too polite, and asked some, so she ordered Ying Shu to go back, but she left Ruotong.
Ying Shu walked on the road, and didn't care about Shen Bin, only asked Xiangli if she had a carriage ready to go home, but she sped up her pace and wanted to leave quickly.
was walking on the road, but from a distance he saw a very dazzling purple and gold color walking towards him, Ying Shu looked at it, it was Zhou Guifei.
Zhou Guifei wore a purple woven gold large-sleeved round-necked robe full of laurel and crescent moons, a pleated horse-faced skirt with pearl and gold edges on her lower body, and a mountain-shaped gilded chisel crown inlaid with five-colored gemstones on her head, and countless grass insects pressed sideburns and ears dug obliquely, etc., which were very dazzling and luxurious, and it was like a flowing mountain of gold when walking.
She was also extremely surprised to see Ying Shu, she originally felt that she was very beautiful and her smile stopped for a moment, and then a pair of phoenix eyes looked at Ying Shu who was bowing down and wanted to salute, "Who is this?" Isn't this our Lord Wang Siyu? But the heroes who have made great contributions to our feast! ”
Ying Shu was very respectful and obedient: "The concubine is blessed with Jin'an, and the concubine visits the concubine." ”
The concubine walked very slowly, and I don't know if she was originally very slow or deliberately so slow, in short, Ying Shu half-squatted and waited for the concubine to come over, and felt very tired and tormented, and finally waited until Zhou Guifei came over and said to her that she was liberated.
It's just that the moment she got up, Xu felt a little dizzy because she was too fast, and she almost didn't stand firm.
Zhou Guifei was lightly angry: "Yo, what's wrong with Wang Siyu?" Oh no, now, but what about Wang Zhong's envoy! Zhou Guifei deliberately lengthened her voice and made a polite gesture, "Oh, then the palace is completely understood, I think it is because Envoy Wang has been promoted, and I am really happy in my heart!" ”
Ying Shu actually doesn't like this Zhou Guifei very much, and she doesn't understand why this Zhou Guifei always has a little hostility or defense towards herself, think about it carefully, maybe she has been rewarded by the emperor, but she always feels that it is not true, there are so many people in the palace who have been rewarded by the emperor, she doesn't seem to have any need to target herself alone. So after thinking about it, there is no substantive result, maybe the only possibility is because of the biological mother who has never had any impression.
This thought flashed by, after all, it was really not suitable to think so much, the concubine was still in front of him.
In the end, she is a person who is nobler than herself, and Ying Shu can only smile and say, 'Where, where', in order to show her humility and obedience.
Zhou Guifei only sneered: "Where?" Lieutenant Wang is a great hero! These should be the things you get. Such a merit is to give you half of the treasures in His Majesty's Qianyuan Palace, and it is all deserved. ”
Even if the fool has been in the palace for a long time, he can hear the sharpness of these words, Ying Shu immediately knelt down and said in fear: "The concubine doesn't dare, what is the concubine Niangniang talking about?" ”
"Don't dare? What's not to dare? Who doesn't know that piles of treasures have been sent to your house? But what a great blessing, people envy! ”
"...... This...... This is the wrong love between His Majesty and the queen, and the concubines are terrified, although they are ashamed. However, the thunder, rain and dew are all graces of heaven, and the concubines and concubines have to be grateful. ”
"Oh, what a clever mouth that can quibble. You really are! Zhou Guifei's tone became more and more angry, so angry that Ying Shu knelt on the ground and didn't look up at Zhou Guifei, and she could feel her anger.
"!" But it was the slave maid beside Zhou Guifei who stepped forward to support Zhou Guifei and didn't let Zhou Guifei tremble, and at the same time, with her eyes, she made Zhou Guifei ease her temperament.
"What are you doing?" But it was the emperor's voice, and I saw that the emperor was not far away, and he hurried when he saw that there were footsteps here. Seeing the emperor like this, Concubine Zhou Guifei bowed down in trepidation, "See Your Majesty." ”
The emperor glared at Zhou Guifei slightly, as if he wanted to stretch out his hand to support Yingshu, but he stretched out half of his hand, but he retracted it, and only said, "Why is Wang Niangzi kneeling here?" Hurry up. ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Ying Shu had been looking forward to getting up from the ground, and she was helped up by Xiangli, but she felt dizzy again, and uncontrollably weakened her legs and feet and almost fell to the ground.
"Alas!" After all, the emperor stretched out his hand to support Ying Shu regardless of the rules, and looked at Zhou Guifei while supporting Ying Shu, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "As a concubine, you are so powerful in front of the officials?" You're such a big man! ”
This time, it was naturally Zhou Guifei's turn to panic, and she knelt down busily, very empty-hearted: "Your Majesty...... Concubine ......"
Ying Shu had already dispelled the dizziness at this time, and she invisibly shook off the emperor and stood still, "Your Majesty, they are all concubines, and the concubine Niangniang was originally joking with the concubines." It was the concubine who couldn't tell whether she was smiling or not, so she hurriedly knelt down. The concubine is a kind person, and she treats her concubines very well. ”
"Yes, yes," Zhou Guifei didn't bother to wipe the cold sweat dripping from her face, but just climbed down Yingshu's steps.
"Hmph, look at you like this!" The emperor seemed to be very excited, he looked at Zhou Guifei condescendingly, "If you are really naughty, then Mrs. Wang knelt down, you should have helped others up, why are you still standing high above and watching others kneel?" You've all punished people and fainted! ”
"Your Majesty......" Ying Shu and Zhou Guifei said in unison, but the tone was different, and the meaning was also different.
"That's it, you are a concubine in the end, this is outside, and the people from the white department are also there, and I can't wipe off your face. It's just that you remember to me, Mrs. Wang is the person who gave us a long face in front of the white department, and she is a hero, and you can't rely on your identity and not put people in your eyes! Moreover, this is the eldest sister's family, this is a family, you are an elder and a concubine, you should be kind and kind. If the people who taught the white department saw that the concubine was so domineering and there was no one in her eyes, wouldn't it be a joke? ”
"Yes, the concubine knows that she is wrong. I ask for your Majesty's understanding. A trace of hatred appeared on Concubine Zhou's beautiful face, and she slowly said to Ying Shu: "I also ask Lord Wang for understanding." ”
Almost as if the program had been set, Ying Shu replied again and again with words such as "panic" and "don't dare", and the emperor was also a little impatient, so he said to the concubine: "Okay, you get up." You can't be as dignified and calm as the queen, and you should learn from the demure and gentleness of Concubine De! Get up quickly and go back, and teach outsiders what it will become. ”
Zhou Guifei only felt that her internal organs were blown up, but she could only swallow this breath in front of the emperor, and only said: "The concubine knows her mistake, and the concubine retires." ”
Zhou Guifei's immediate troubles have been solved, but Ying Shu is very clear in her heart that she may have to face other troubles.
The emperor's excessive concern sounded the alarm bell in his heart in a timely manner, and Ying Shu knew that there must be something deeper behind it, but it was unknown what it was, but he had to be more cautious.
The emperor looked at Ying Shu, but now he kept a moderate distance, and his words and demeanors were all in line with the rules, echoing the way he should get along with a courtier.
The two of them just exchanged some polite words, and at the same time, the emperor was also concerned: "Do you still like the painting I gave you yesterday?" ”
Ying Shu knew that this painting would definitely be asked, after all, it was a precious thing, so she said very calmly: "Thank you, Your Majesty, I like it very much." ”
"If you like it, it's not very useful to me. It was the Queen's suggestion that it might be best for me to think of giving you such a reward, and now it is thanks to your talent and merit. The emperor nodded, smiling with the majesty of the emperor for his subordinates, and there was nothing wrong with looking at it.
The distance and look are very suitable, but there is no difference between the content of the words and others, Ying Shu was confused for a while, what the emperor meant, she couldn't tell it at all.
This caution seems to have become superfluous again.
If you think about it, it may have something to do with your mother.
It seems that everyone in the palace knows the existence of their biological mother, so they will be like this for themselves.
"The concubine is grateful for the kindness of His Majesty and Niangniang, and I hope that Your Majesty and Niangniang will be blessed, and the concubine will do her best for Niangniang and assist Niangniang to place the harem, which is the honor of the concubine." Ying Shu thought about it, and she also strengthened this idea.
The emperor seemed to be very satisfied, but he didn't continue to talk, only ordered Yingshu to take care of himself, and he himself went elsewhere.
After Ying Shu saluted and saw the emperor leave, she couldn't help but have doubts in her heart, she always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't say such a wonderful feeling.
And behind a tree in the distance, Shen Bin also witnessed all this, he couldn't help but be even more annoyed, his fists clenched tightly, and she witnessed Yingshu's gentle smile the whole time.
"This woman doesn't smile at me, but she laughs happily at my uncle! Why is it like no one? He whispered to himself, only rolled his eyes, and hurriedly hid to the side, only to watch Yingshu get into the carriage. He himself turned and went back into the paddock.
……
Ying Shu returned home, but she didn't see Shen Bin, and she didn't take it to heart, she just had to eat and drink, as if the daytime had nothing to do with her. When my eyes fell on the two paintings on the wall, although I could bring my spiritual sustenance for modernity, I always felt that something was wrong when I looked at it at the moment.
She wanted to put the painting away, but she couldn't just take the half that the emperor had given her. If it is put away and offered together, first, the mind of the elder brother of Chengqi is ruined, and secondly, it is not possible to offer the things given by the emperor and the things given by the elder brother of Chengqi together with the things given by Chengqi brother. After thinking about it, I can only continue to hang like this.
After waiting for a long time, and didn't see Shen Bin come back, Taozi cautiously came over and asked if she wanted to send someone to inquire, Ying Shu said angrily: "No, he's a big man, can he still lose it?" ”
And when Peaches cautiously walked to the door and wanted to go out, Yingshu repentantly stopped her, "You go to your sister Xiangli, she is the safest, teach her to ask." ”
