Chapter 064: Backer (2)
Thinking of Su Kun's reminder, which made me care more about Emperor Qi Yan, plus my father and Su Kun discussed the matter of peace and marriage, I couldn't help but start beating the drum in my heart: Could it be that the backer of Da Zhou, which I have always relied on, will be unreliable in the future? And is Qi Yan going to be my new backer?
Thinking of this, I hurriedly informed Du Ruo, shouted Yu Mo, and went to the imperial study to find Qi Yan together.
"Yu Mo!? Niangniang doesn't take Cuiyun and Yutang, but Yu Mo? Hearing my instructions, Du Ruo and Cuiyun and Yutang in the room were all stunned, "We don't need to be wary of Yu Mo anymore?" ”
I took Du Ruo's hand and swept Cuiyun and Yutang with my eyes at the same time, "You all remember, now that we are in the Crescent Moon Country, we compare ourselves with the Great Zhou every day, but we can only knock on the mountain and shake the tiger occasionally, and we may have to find a new backer in the New Moon in the future." ”
"A new backer?" Du Ruo and the others were still at a loss.
"In short, you remember that Yu Mo is His Majesty's person, I am his queen, and you are my maids, so you must have a good relationship with Yu Mo and try to win him over."
"Niangniang, you mean that you want to be close to His Majesty the Emperor?" Du Ruo was careful with his words, and I sighed, "No matter what the relationship is, he is my husband after all, and if he is married, naturally I will also fulfill my obligations as a wife." ”
"That Ye ......" Du Ruo almost missed his mouth, and I hurriedly opened my mouth, "Okay, call Yu Mo in, let's go to the imperial study and meet His Majesty the Emperor." ”
"Yes."
Du Ruo turned around and went out and called Yu Mo into the house, Yu Mo was also surprised, I found an excuse, saying that Yutang and Cuiyun stayed in the palace to clean, so I hope she can accompany me and go to the imperial study together.
"Do you have time?"
"Back to the queen's mother, the slave has it."
"Okay, let's go."
Yu Mo followed behind me with Du Ruo, and then set off with me, heading for the emperor's imperial study.
The distance between Jingtai Palace and the imperial study is not too far, and it is only a tea time to walk, but at such a distance, I met someone I didn't want to meet.
As soon as he walked less than a hundred steps away, he saw the Queen Mother and the Pei family sisters strolling on the side of the road. When the Queen Mother saw me, she immediately stopped there, obviously waiting for me to salute.
I took a deep breath, walked up to a few people, and bowed slightly to the Queen Mother.
"The Queen Mother is auspicious."
Without waiting for the Queen Mother to respond, I immediately accepted the gift. The Pei sisters also gave me a greeting gift, and naturally, they didn't listen to my response, so they hurriedly accepted the gift.
I saw the corners of the Queen Mother's mouth twitch, and I couldn't help but laugh in my heart, the Queen Mother thought that I would get up and ask for a sin by myself, but the two cronies also committed the same sin, but it was difficult to speak.
"Queen, are you going to the imperial study?" There were some doubts in the Queen Mother's tone, and there were some provocative meanings, "The emperor should be reviewing the chapter at the moment, and the mourning family advises you not to disturb it." ”
"Back to the Queen Mother, the concubines have important matters to discuss with Your Majesty, and they really can't delay, so you must see Your Majesty today."
I expressed my purpose very definitely and clearly, the Queen Mother frowned, sighed and said, "Okay, but if the emperor is inconvenient to see you, you don't have to force it, you know?" ”
"However, when the emperor came to Jingrui Palace these days, he looked listless, and it didn't make people feel distressed to watch." Pei Lin was holding the queen mother's arm on the side, her eyes were somewhat proud.
I can't help but feel funny, and at the same time, I also feel that Princess Ping on the side is quite powerful, and she actually thought of letting Pei Lin be the queen mother.
The so-called Jingrui Palace is naturally the palace where Pei Lin lives, and as for her so-called emperor going to her palace, I probably don't believe it. Yutang had already inquired about it, and every time Emperor Qi Yan went to Jingrui Palace, he just drank a few cups of tea, and he left Jingrui Palace after making up enough time for a stick of incense. It's not so much to go to Jingrui Palace, it's better to pass by Jingrui Palace, I can even guess that it must be the Queen Mother who put pressure on Qi Yan to go to Jingrui Palace.
I know very well that the emperor currently has only Ziyu in his heart, and as for the future, it is difficult to say. And Pei Lin's external scenery, her own love as a capital to show off, is really pitiful.
I had no intention of entanglement with their group of women, so I simply gave the Queen Mother another salute and said seriously: "The concubines do have important things to discuss with His Majesty the Emperor, the Queen Mother, no matter when and where, the country is far more important than the private feelings of the children, do you say yes or not?" ”
I didn't pay attention to the Queen Mother's response, and when I turned my head to leave, I saw her raise her hand and stop the Pei sisters, and I knew that she should understand the importance of my words.
I walked quickly to the imperial study, and at this moment, in addition to the two little eunuchs guarding the door, it was Emperor Qi Yan's personal guard Ji Li outside the door.
"The queen stays, Your Majesty is reviewing the chapter, please wait here."
"Ji Li, if you go in and spread the word, you will say that there is something important in the palace to discuss with him."
"This ......" Ji Li hesitated a little, and I couldn't help but show a trace of displeasure on my face, "What's the matter, can't this palace let you in and pass on a word?" ”
"No, His Majesty the Emperor Shicai has decreed that no concubine in the harem is allowed to enter the imperial study, so ......"
"Confused, this palace is the queen, is it a concubine, don't you pass it on quickly!"
Ji Li saw that I was angry, so he had no choice but to go into the house to spread the word, and soon, the door of the imperial study opened.
"Du Ruo, Yu Mo, you stay here, anyone who comes, you have to block me, especially the people in the harem."
"Yes."
Seeing the two girls bow down in response, I turned my head and glanced at the eyes looking behind the bushes, and couldn't help but smile proudly and went into the imperial study.
"It's rare that the princess came to see Gu in person."
Qi Yan didn't call me the queen directly, obviously he still deliberately distanced himself from me, and I didn't argue with him at the moment, I endured my anger and gave Qi Yan a salute with a smile.
"Your Majesty the Emperor, the concubine has come here to discuss with you on an important matter. The leader of the Nacuo tribe, Wusun, has heard about a son, has Your Majesty heard about it? ”
Qi Yan was holding a brush to draw dots on the concerto, and when he heard me talk about the Nacuo tribe, he couldn't help but be stunned.
"Why did the queen suddenly mention the matter of the Nacuo tribe? Yes, that's right, Usun has a baby boy, and Gu is going to give him a generous gift. ”
"Generous gifts?" I smiled lightly, "Is it gold and silver or treasure, or the crescent meadow?" ”
Qi Yan naturally heard what I said, so he put down the brush in his hand. explained: "Actually, Lone Ben wants to give him a gift in person, so that he can not only win over the Nacuo tribe, but also knock the Naheng tribe, but it's just ......"
"It's just that the country can't be left without an owner for a day, if your majesty encounters an accident, and the city of Leah is empty, it will be a loss to the lady and a soldier."
I shook out his considerations on the side, and Qi Yan was a little surprised.
"I didn't expect the queen to think about it."
"Actually, it can't be considered by the concubine, it was the national teacher Su Kun who looked for the concubine and reminded the concubine, and the concubine thought and understood."
"Su Kun looked for you?!"
I nodded, "A lot of words. ”
"Ha, he didn't look for Gu directly, but went to the harem to find you!?"
"That's because he knows that the most suitable person for this generous gift is a concubine."
I responded lightly, but my eyes fell to the ground and didn't look at Qi Yan.
"What! You? Qi Yan was surprised at first, thought for a while, and then suddenly realized: "Yes, you are the queen of Lone, and you can represent the Lone and Crescent royal families." is the princess of Da Zhou again, and I am not afraid of what they dare to do to you, and she is really the best candidate. It's just that you ......"
"How could you suddenly agree?" I raised my head and asked with a smile, "Is this what Your Majesty wants to ask?" ”
Qi Yan had a trace of embarrassment on his face, "No, this matter is too dangerous, you better not go." Let the national teacher Su Kun go with gifts. ”
Qi Yan denied it, which made me feel a little grateful.
"No, it can't be grandiose like this, please rest assured, Your Majesty, the private feelings of children and the country's ambitions, this palace is still clearly distinguished."
Hearing me say this, Qi Yan was slightly moved, he approached me and asked in a low voice, "Why did you suddenly choose to help Gu?" Choosing to help the crescent? ”
I raised my head, met his gaze, and responded in a serious whisper: "Your Majesty, whether you and I have direct feelings or not, we are already husband and wife. There is a saying in Da Zhou, the skin is not in the hair? His Majesty is the emperor, and the concubine is the queen, if His Majesty has an accident, or if the new moon has an accident, will the concubine still be intact? ”
I said emotionally, with moist tears in my eyes, "Whether Your Majesty loves the concubine or not, whether you believe it or not, the concubine will choose to do this, to keep Your Majesty is to keep the new moon, and to keep the new moon is to keep yourself." ”
I used my most hated weapon, and that was my tears. My tears did not become unfamiliar because I had not used them for many years, and as my emotions mobilized, the tears easily burst out of my eyes.
At that moment I finally understood why so many women liked to use this weapon. The cost is too low, but the lethality, especially to men, is very powerful.
Sure enough, when I was about to turn around and leave, Emperor Qi Yan grabbed me. Before I could turn around and ask the reason, Qi Yan's kiss pressed against the corner of my lips.
This time, I didn't dodge, and even grabbed his shoulder, trying to cater to Qi Yan's possessiveness. Because I know that at this moment, Qi Yan will become my future backer, and I must firmly grasp it in my hands.
After saying goodbye to the imperial study, I left a careful wish for Qi Yan.
"If Your Majesty has time at night, it is better to come to Jingtai Palace to sit and prepare some wine and food for the concubine, which can be regarded as a simple send-off for the concubine, can you?"
Seeing that Qi Yan was a little hesitant, I added: "The concubine is the queen, and she is going to the Nacuo tribe, does Your Majesty want to not sit in Jingtai Palace once?" ”
Seeing that Qi Yan was somewhat relieved, I hurriedly continued to show weakness and said: "The concubine has nothing else to think about, I just hope that Your Majesty will have a cup of tea in Jingtai Palace, so that the concubine can save some face in the harem." ”
"Okay, I'll go to Jingtai Palace tonight and eat with you."
At night, Qi Yan really came, but not only did he not leave immediately, but he also chose to stay in Jingtai Palace. He was very enthusiastic about the night, everything I hoped should have happened, everything had happened.
When he woke up the next morning, Qi Yan didn't leave immediately, and stood alone at the window in a daze.
I picked up a piece of clothing and put it on, and slowly walked to Qi Yan's side. said very boldly: "Now, the concubine and Your Majesty have really become husband and wife, and there should be no need to act anymore." ”
Qi Yan turned his head, his eyes were very gentle, but his tone was cold.
"Xuan'er, Ji Li will go to the Nacuo tribe with you, remember to get there, don't be too reckless."
Hearing Qi Yan call me so affectionately, my heart also has some illusions at the moment. I draped my long hair, buried my head deep in Qi Yan's arms, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the concubine will definitely talk about the Nacuo tribe to win over our camp." ”
Qi Yan hugged me, stroking my hair while sighing: "Xuan'er, are you resentful of marrying so many concubines?" ”
I nodded and responded unabashedly: "Yes, in fact, concubines have always disliked sharing things with others, sharing their husbands, and they are even more unwilling. However, the concubines understood that they did not mean it, and His Majesty did not want to do so. ”
"Hmph, sure enough, you're still so smart." Qi Yan lowered his head lightly and kissed me on the forehead, which was cold and very comfortable.
"Xuan'er, then why did you agree to be lonely and persuade Ziyu to stay? Moreover, are you still going to let it enter the palace? ”
I smiled in my heart, and sure enough, Qi Yan still couldn't forget his first love.
"Ziyu is the woman His Majesty likes at first sight, in contrast, the concubine is a latecomer, and the concubine will naturally not be jealous." I raised my head and smiled at Qi Yanbai's glowing face, "What's more, what Your Majesty likes, can I give up and not help fight for it?" ”
Hearing what I said, Qi Yan seemed to be greatly moved, and immediately hugged me into his arms again, kissed me passionately, hugged me, and brought me to the bed.
After a long time, Qi Yan got up and put on his clothes. And I, who have long been tossed and have no strength, are still somewhat satisfied.
When Qi Yan got up to leave, he kissed me on the forehead again, "Be careful." With that, he turned and prepared to leave.
I hurriedly shouted behind me, and said loudly, knowing the advisor: "Your Majesty, that night in Jingrui Palace, but Your Majesty ......"
Qi Yan was stunned in place, I saw that his ears were a little red, and it took a while for him to respond.
"Fit, second time."
After speaking, he took a big step and walked out of Jingtai Palace. I turned my head to look at the messy quilt on the bed, and the eye-catching red, and I couldn't tell whether I was happy or sad.
It was as if I had deliberately lost my most precious treasure for a purpose, and I was rewarded, but I could not be happy.
My eyes looked at the celadon bottle on the table, and the small cup on the cabinet, which was the cup used by Qi Yan last night, and the pot contained the aphrodisiac potion prepared by Yutang.
"Qi Yan, don't blame me." I muttered silently in my heart, and at the same time remembered someone, and couldn't help shedding a tear, "Ye Liuyun, don't blame me." ”
