Chapter 17: Emperor's Heart
When they first started arguing, Chu Heng arrived and stood behind the rockery.
What Su Qingwan said was right for his appetite, since he was his concubine, he had to act according to the rules he set, and judge the rank he gave, rather than looking at his family background.
He accepted a concubine, not a bunch of ancestors who needed him to provide for him.
Zhao Xinran said angrily: "Su Qingwan, I just used my identity as the concubine of Zhenguo to oppress people, what about you?" Your father is just a small prefect, and if you offend me like this, you are not afraid of affecting your family? Aren't you afraid to hear the news of your father's dismissal or imprisonment tomorrow? ”
Su Qingwan was stunned, and then said: "My father is sitting upright, not afraid of those ghosts. ”
I really didn't expect Zhao Xinran to say the threatening words in this public, even if the emperor is not here, but if this is spread, it will not be good for her Zhao family.
Su Qingwan's words were sharp and her expression was cold, so choked that Zhao Xinran didn't know how to deal with it, she just wanted to let go of her identity and reach out to greet her face, and scratch her face.
Zhao Xinran really has no brains, but Xue Fuyin is not stupid, but as a good sister, she let her be so sloppy.
"Let's go, go over there."
Su Qingwan ignored her anymore and took Yun Caiqing in the direction of Cuizhuxuan, Xiao Yunhan glanced at Zhao Xinran and the others, and also followed
"Whoever allowed you to go, stop me!" Zhao Xinran shouted angrily.
At the right time, Chu Heng walked out from behind the rockery and glanced at her coldly.
Suddenly seeing the emperor's figure, Zhao Xinran was speechless and followed everyone to kneel.
"Concubines see the emperor."
"Get up."
In the past few days, everyone has not been able to meet the emperor in the imperial garden, but this time they have met, but there are too many people here, but it is better than waiting for a day, and it is not good to show your face in front of the emperor.
As soon as Zhao Xinran got up, he heard the emperor's indifferent voice in front of him: "Take Zhao Changzai back, find her an aunt, teach her the rules again, and if she can't learn it again, she will be thrown out of the palace!" ”
Sui'an responded and beckoned the eunuchs around him to do this.
"Zhao Chang is here, go back with our family."
Zhao Xinran was stunned, and after a moment's effort, her eyes were full of tears, "Your Majesty, it's the concubine who is wrong, the concubine is young, and it is inevitable that she will have the habit of speaking at home, and the concubine will never dare to do it again in the future." ”
If she is really punished for learning the palace rules, then after she finishes learning, the other concubines in the harem will not be higher than her.
"Drag it off!" Chu Heng said coldly.
He hates this kind of woman who only cries when she makes a mistake, and she is not beautiful when she cries, and it is not as good as the pear blossom with rain of the sick beauty Su Qingwan.
"Sister Xue, you help me, help me plead with the emperor......" Zhao happily looked at Xue Fuyin pleadingly.
Xue Fuyin frowned and said: "Sister Xinran, this is the palace, it was your fault that you said those words, sister, even if I want to help you, I must abide by the palace rules." ”
Zhao Xinran had just been taken away, and these people began to move, thinking that they could win the emperor's favor.
Chu Heng originally intended to come to see the flowers, but now he has become a beauty appreciator, and he has a unique taste.
"Your Majesty, the concubine's cat is hungry, so she retreats first." Yun Caiqing was the first to speak, hugging the cat and saluting.
Chu Heng raised his eyes, "Come on, go to those osmanthus cakes, it's the same here." ”
Among the beauties present, only Yun Caiqing's dress was the simplest, and Chu Heng also knew her thoughts, but the more so, the more he wanted to take the other party down.
Yun Caiqing had no excuse to leave.
Xue Fuyin smiled and said: "Your Majesty, the chrysanthemums in the garden have bloomed a lot, and the concubine heard that there is King Mo in this garden, but I haven't seen it anywhere along the way?"
Can the emperor specify it to the concubines? ”
Mowang is the best in the chrysanthemum, the color is like thick ink, the fragrance of flowers is refreshing, and it is extremely rare.
"At this time, Mowang has not yet opened, and it will open later, after the Mid-Autumn Festival." The corners of Chu Heng's lips were slightly hooked, and King Mo was cultivated by him with a lot of effort.
"I see." Xue Fuyin nodded obediently.
He also said: "Today's wind and sunshine are beautiful, and there are so many sisters here, the concubine wants to play a song, is the emperor willing to comment on the concubine?" ”
While she was talking, a maid brought a lute to her.
Of course, Chu Heng agreed, if the concubines found a way to please him, he would give them a chance.
Generally speaking, women in the wind and dust love to play the pipa, while women from powerful families love to practice the piano.
In fact, this is not the case, the current literati and all like the pipa, and if you can play a good pipa, it means that you are qualified to enter the circle of the powerful.
Although the piano is elegant, its sound is empty and melodious, like a Taoist priest who lives in the mountains and forests, so the Kyoto magnates basically don't like to listen to the piano.
Xiao Yunhan strengthened his courage and stepped forward and said, "The concubine is willing to dance with her." ”
"That's right."
Before Xue Fuyin could speak, the emperor had already agreed.
The rest of the people also wanted to dance with them, which made the king smile, and some people learned from Xiao Yuanhan to come forward and recommend themselves.
Chu Heng didn't refuse, but his eyes were slightly cold, dancing is not beautiful when there are many people dancing, and they have never practiced together, and when they can dance, they are afraid that they will have their own appearance, and they will definitely not be beautiful.
Turning to look at the silent Yun Caiqing, "I haven't seen Yun Concubine dance." ”
The meaning of the words was obvious, and Yun Caiqing politely refused: "The concubine can only dance with a sword and sword, and she can't dance such a soft thing." ”
Chu Heng, who was rejected again, was still not angry, and looked at Yun Caiqing as if he was looking at a delicacy that could be enjoyed at any time, but this delicacy still needed to be cooked.
Xue Fuyin was ready, and sat on the stone bench with his legs holding the pipa.
Xiao Yunhan also stood excitedly in the open space, she must seize the opportunity to make the emperor's eyes shine, and after that, the emperor will also spoil her like a nobleman, and make her a concubine, or even a higher rank.
Before she started, she was called down by the emperor.
Chu Heng saw that the color of her clothes was almost the same as that of Xue Fuyin who was sitting, and he always felt that something was missing, so he said, "You go down." ”
Xiao Yunhan's face turned white, and he wanted to ask why, but he didn't dare to say it, so he could only retreat unwillingly.
She was like a joke, full of interest, and was ruthlessly waved off by the emperor.
Chu Heng glanced at the people present, and only she was the most satisfied, "Su Meiren stepped forward to dance." ”
Su Qingwan was stunned, and she didn't react for a while, this Chu Heng's brain was caught by the door.
She wanted to get close to Chu Heng, but with so many people, thinking that if the deliberate flattery was not successful, it would be even more difficult to get close to Chu Heng, so she simply gave up, and she should come to make up the numbers today, see how these women compete for favor, and see if Chu Heng likes Tang Xinrou or beauty.
Unexpectedly, she was so silent, Chu Heng could still pick her, it was really a bad fate.
