Chapter 138: Major Events in the Palace
Xiao Ding whipped on the horse's back, the horse was in pain, galloped hard, the hooves crackled, the bells at the four corners of the carriage tinkled and dingdong, and the people in the carriage were in a hurry.
Mingyue was grounded, Fei Jingyue was naturally anxious, and she just hoped to enter the palace as soon as possible to see the situation.
No wonder Qi Xiuli didn't come to visit her in the past few days, it turned out that something like this happened.
"Miss, don't worry, the princess will be fine."
Biyu comforted her, when she had followed Fei Jingyue for a long time, it was rare to see her so anxious, just because Princess Mingyue had a deep friendship with her, and now that something happened to her, Fei Jingyue was naturally anxious.
Fei Jingyue's eyebrows were furrowed, and she didn't answer, she was busy dealing with Aunt Shu these days, and she ignored too many things, so she had to go to Wanyue today to take a look, who knew that she would know the bad news.
She knows best about Mingyue and the six princes, Mingyue's love is deep-rooted, otherwise she would not marry away for a man, not to mention that the desert is a barbarian land, all people eat beef and mutton, drink goat milk tea, where can Mingyue live such a life, but for Lang Yuange, she is so willing, you can imagine how helpless Mingyue is now, how can she sit idly by.
It was easy to get to the gate of the palace, she had the seal of the princess on her body, and it was not as good as in the past to enter the palace, so she could drive in directly, she got off the carriage and took the soft sedan chair in the palace to the princess hall of Mingyue.
But she couldn't make it, and encountered obstacles, because the princess's palace was heavily guarded, and no one could enter or leave.
How could this be the case, the prosperity of the princess hall in the past is gone, only the cold arrows and spears of the soldiers.
Waiting at the gate of the palace was the deputy chief eunuch in the palace, and Fei Jingyue remembered that his surname was Zhao.
When that Zhao Gonggong saw her coming, he hurriedly greeted her, and said with a smile: "I don't know that Princess Xiaoning has arrived, the slave is really rude." ”
This Zhao Gonggong is the chief eunuch next to the emperor, except for the chief eunuch, he is the biggest eunuch in the palace, so even Fei Jingyue, he has never groveled.
Fei Jingyue didn't care, and returned the salute: "The palace wants to go in to see the princess, can the father-in-law make it convenient?" As she spoke, Biyu stuffed a bag of silver.
That Zhao Gonggong was not a rigid person, so he naturally understood what she meant, but although the bag of silver was tempting, the head was more important, so he hurriedly pushed the silver back, and said without relenting: "The princess is polite, but the old slave is powerless in this matter, and I ask the princess not to embarrass the old slave." ”
He spoke resolutely, but he absolutely refused to accept the money, Fei Jingyue calculated in her heart, it is estimated that if she wants to go in, it is really not so easy, she only wants to go to see Mingyue, but she does not think about it carefully, seeing the current form, I am afraid that things are not so simple.
She didn't like this palace in the first place, although the emperor gave her a marriage, she was also half a royal person, and she should have entered the palace more, but she was tired of the cold deceit in this palace, and deliberately avoided it, but now she didn't even have anyone to discuss, and she didn't even know where the palace where Qi Xiu left.
The shirk on their side had already attracted the attention of the guards, and a soldier-like person asked, "Gonggong Zhao, what's wrong?" ”
That Zhao Gonggong is also a clever person, and said: "It's okay, general, don't worry!" Then quietly took Fei Jingyue aside.
"Princess, you have also seen it, this is an order personally issued by His Majesty the Emperor, and the guards who are transferred to guard are all the internal guards around His Majesty, no one is allowed to enter or leave, but the old slave is also powerless." Zhao Gonggong's face was full of sincerity, not like he was deliberately embarrassed.
He then said, "The eldest princess really angered Tianyan this time, Your Majesty Long Yan was furious, and directly grounded the princess, and no one was allowed to visit, let alone plead, the old slave has been in the palace for many years, and he has never seen His Majesty so angry, except for the time when Queen Chunshan had a miscarriage, His Majesty has never been so angry, that time, Xiangya Emperor Guifei ......"
He suddenly realized that he had said something wrong, and immediately changed the subject: "So Princess Xiaoning, don't anger Your Majesty and become a bird." ”
His words were sincere, Fei Jingyue was quite grateful, although she saw that Zhao Gonggong wanted to speak and stopped, but she didn't have the heart to ask, she just wanted to find out more about Mingyue, so that she could think of a way.
She took the bag of silver in Biyu's hand, and forced the silver into Zhao's father-in-law's arms and said: "Xiao Ning, thank my father-in-law for reminding me, Xiao Ning naturally won't anger Tianyan, just ask my father-in-law to tell me a thing or two, and Xiao Ning also knows it." ”
Zhao Gonggong saw that she didn't want to go in, and breathed a sigh of relief, no one would be disgusted with money, and he naturally wouldn't, so he took the bag of silver half-pushed, naturally, he also told Fei Jingyue everything he should say.
It turned out that Mingyue had been paying attention to the news of the desert these days, because some time ago the desert was infighting, she lost contact with Lang Yuange, she was very panicked, it was the time when the Huaihua general returned to the court, she inquired in many ways, and learned that Lang Yuange's situation was not good, and she was very worried, so she has been worried about the desert situation.
A few days ago, the news of the murder of the six princes of the desert came back to Dashun, and the whereabouts of the six princes were also unknown.
Things are no different from what Fei Jingyue knows, now that the situation is urgent, with her ability alone, it is impossible to rescue Mingyue, she can only find Qi Xiu and think about it in the long run.
Thinking about this, Zhao Gonggong didn't know much of the inside story, and now she had to go to Qi Xiu to leave.
"Dare to ask my father-in-law, the seventh prince of him?" Fei Jingyue asked.
Zhao Gonggong is also an old man, the reason why he is so polite to this grassroots princess is also because of the face of the Seventh Prince, although she is not a princess, but she is the future Seventh Princess, he naturally does not dare to slack off, as long as he does not embarrass him, he naturally spares no effort.
Seeing that Fei Jingyue asked about the Seventh Prince, he hurriedly said: "The Seventh Prince is in the palace, and the old slave will take you there." ”
He walked over and explained to the chief guard, and then came over to guide Fei Jingyue to the Seven Emperors*, and the guard just glanced at this side coldly, and didn't care, his mission was just to be optimistic about the princess palace, and the rest was no big deal for him.
Father-in-law Zhao took Fei Jingyue to the palace of the prince in this way.
As long as the adult prince of Dashun has a wife, he can get the title of the mansion and move out of the palace, but the underage prince and the unmarried prince live in the palace.
Because Qi Xiuli did not have a wife, not even a concubine, so he has been living in the palace.
Along the way, Zhao Gonggong and Fei Jingyue gossiped.
"The princess is so blessed to be able to become a couple with the Seven Princes, and the only one in this palace has no concubines for the Seven Princes." Zhao Gonggong had a smile on his face.
Fei Jingyue smiled faintly and said, "It's Yue'er's blessing." In front of this Zhao Gonggong, she naturally wanted to leave face, so she replied very humbly.
Zhao Gonggong said again: "In this palace, the seven princes save the seven princes and are the most favored by women, but I have never seen him look at anyone differently, the queen mother was in a hurry before, and even the nine princes have concubines, and these seven princes are like not liking women, so that the queen mother is anxious and angry, it turns out that she is waiting for the princess." ”
This Zhao Gonggong is very good at talking, and Fei Jingyue is so different, and he also speaks of Qi Xiu's infatuation.
Fei Jingyue is also a woman, so she naturally hopes that she will be appreciated, and when she heard him say this, she blushed a little, and felt a little happy in her heart, which slightly lightened the sorrow just now.
The two of them talked and arrived in front of Qi Xiu's dormitory, and Zhao Gonggong stepped forward to report, while Fei Jingyue stood aside and watched.
She has never been to the palace of Qi Xiu, the palace of Dashun is different in rank, and the palace is an extremely valuable person, such as the emperor's Panlong Palace, and the palace where women live is called the palace, such as the Queen Mother's Yongshou Palace, the Queen's Qifeng Palace and the East Fence Emperor's Imperial Concubine's Leyang Palace, which are the most valuable three palaces in the palace.
And the prince and the princess also have a palace, and only the prince has a prince's mansion even if he is married, but the prince's palace in the palace is still there, unlike other princes, if they are adults, there is no sleeping palace in the palace.
In addition to the three palaces and the palace of the prince and princess, the rest is the so-called six courtyards, and the general concubines are distributed within the scope of the three palaces, living in different courtyards, and the princesses live with their mothers, and the princes live in this prince's dormitory, all in one place, but each has its own courtyard.
The courtyard where Qi Xiu left was called Wenyuan, Fei Jingyue looked at the big plaque in front of the door, and felt indescribable in her heart, the people who lived inside loved her like jewels, but she was here for the first time in her palace, and he didn't know it yet, she had to wait for the word to be passed on.
She was thinking about it when someone called her and pulled her back into her mind.
It turned out that it was Yinguang who came to greet her, and when Yinguang saw her, he knelt on the ground: "Greetings to Princess Xiaoning!" ”
When Gonggong Zhao saw that the errand was done, he said goodbye and left, and Fei Jingyue let Yinguang get up, because she could see that Yinguang had something to say.
"Princess, you are here, the Seventh Prince is waiting for you inside." He whispered.
"Hugh knows I'm coming?" Fei Jingyue was a little puzzled, if he knew, I am afraid it would be too godly.
"His Royal Highness explained to his subordinates before he fell into a coma, with the friendship between the princess and Princess Mingyue, the princess will definitely come, and he ordered his subordinates to wait here." The silver light was a little dim.
Coma? What happened to Qi Xiu? How can you be unconscious?
This news was like a heavy hammer, slamming into Fei Jingyue's heart, making her heart ache incomparably, for three seconds, her mind was blank, only the word coma was said in Yinguang's ear.
"What's going on? What happened to Hugh? She asked.
Yinguang made a silent gesture to her, and said, "It's not appropriate to say much here, let's talk about it when we go in." ”
What the hell happened, why did Yinguang look so cautious, Fei Jingyue beat a drum in her heart, things must not be simple, she hurriedly followed Yinguang into the door.
When they arrived at the door of Qi Xiu's dormitory, there were four or five palace maids who were carefully holding pots, decoctions or something, and when they saw Fei Jingyue and them coming in, they knelt down and asked for peace: "Blessings to Princess Xiaoning!" ”
Silverlight pointed to the door and motioned for her to enter.
She trembled and pushed open the door, her heart popping out.
