Chapter 104: Farewell to Concubine Shen
Yu Qing took a look, the initiator wanted to run, how could it be so easy, if it weren't for the emperor, would she have copied the "History of the Political Leaders of the Year" for a full seven days?
If it weren't for the emperor, would Xiyue be able to make the genuine white jade peony bald? If it weren't for the emperor, would she have been ridiculed by Concubine Hua in the Imperial Garden and almost punished? Without......
Hmph, she can't let him go!
With bad thoughts in his stomach, he smiled on his face, "Your Majesty, since you are here, take a look at this white jade peony you gave to your concubine, it is blooming well and growing well." ”
stepped forward and couldn't help but say, holding the emperor's arm, and dragged the person to the middle of the courtyard.
Xue Gui didn't care about any loyalty to the Lord at this time, and like Wanhe and Xiyue, he stood far away and silently prayed for the emperor.
"Your Majesty, what is it?" Yu Qing had a strip of cloth on her nose, she was not afraid at all, and proudly asked the emperor for credit.
"Good, excellent." The emperor didn't want to open his mouth, but this was a flower that he asked her to raise carefully, and he couldn't throw off his arms and leave, so he squeezed out a few words from between his teeth.
Wanhe, Xiyue, and Xue Gui couldn't help laughing, looking at the two people in the courtyard and one flower, the picture was surprisingly harmonious, if there was no such a thick smell in the air.
Yu Qing held back a smile, she was really witty, and the smell was stinking, the emperor had never taken a look at this peony with his eyes, let alone found out that she was a tanuki for the prince.
I wanted to force the emperor to stand for a while, but there was a rapid and orderly footstep outside the palace gate, and the two raised their eyes to see that it was a little eunuch who came in, holding a bright yellow scroll in his hand.
The little eunuch came to announce the decree, and as soon as he entered the door, he smelled a suffocating smell, and he never thought that the emperor was also there, so he just held back and didn't show it.
The little eunuch first asked the emperor for peace, and then explained: "Your Majesty, the slave was ordered by the Queen Mother to announce the decree to the Qing nobles. ”
The emperor was also curious about what the queen mother could give Yu Qing, waved his hand to signal the little eunuch to start reading the decree, and also took the opportunity to take Yu Qing to stand farther away.
The little eunuch followed and saw the two of them standing still, then he looked at Yu Qing and began to read out the will.
"The Empress Dowager's decree, the noble Ilgen clan is more than clear, Xiuwai Huizhong, has the merit of raising the emperor's eldest son, is a person with profound blessings, inspired by the dust Zen master, specially ordered to go to the Golden Pavilion Temple to pray for the royal chanting for three months, I wish the harem concubines to open up the leaves for the emperor as soon as possible, and extend the heirs, Qin this!"
Yu Qing knelt to accept the order, but the order was next, and he still didn't slow down, opened the scroll, stared at the words on it and read it several times before he dared to be convinced.
Want her to go out of the palace to the temple to pray for the royal heir for three months?!
Since it is a matter of heirs, it is not good to assign anyone, but I found her, who has never slept and is the most unbelieving person in the whole palace.
Master of Dust? What the hell is this old monk! I knew that when I was in the imperial dining room, I didn't bother to make that meal for him.
Yu Qing subconsciously touched her chest, this was a habit she had recently developed, because she hung the jade pendant around her neck.
Touching the jade pendant, Yu Qing's eyes rolled, and with a plan, the heart that didn't want to go was also reversed.
Isn't this a great opportunity, when she found a new clue but immediately broke the clue, the Queen Mother sent her out of the palace to pray for blessings, and she could take this opportunity to explore the relationship between the firm and this jade pendant.
Thinking of this, she was already ready to move, and she couldn't wait.
When the emperor heard that it was a matter of heirs, and he was inspired by Master Chen, he had no opinion, and nodded unconsciously, maybe this Chaoqing is really a person with deep fortune.
It's just that three months is too long, and Yuqingren is still around, and the emperor has already inexplicably felt some longing.
"Since the Queen Mother has issued an edict, you can comply with it, if you have any needs, you can mention it to me, and within a reasonable range, I will try my best to meet you."
The emperor looked at Yu Qing, although he was a little reluctant, but it was not easy to disobey the queen mother, especially for the sake of the heir, it was even more difficult to refuse, so he should only compensate Yu Qing and let her put forward conditions as much as possible.
Yo, there are also business trip benefits, which is in the middle of the favor!
"Your Majesty, March is really long, although the concubines are said to pray for the emperor's heir to go out of the palace, they can't be locked up in the temple for three months, and ask the emperor to allow the concubines to go out occasionally to relax."
Yu Qing was worried, the harem concubines were out of the palace, and they wanted to go to the people to move around at will, it was almost impossible to agree to the request, in case something happened, it would be the royal face to be lost.
But since the emperor took the initiative to meet her needs, she always had to give it a try for the sake of the Ilgen family.
The emperor glanced at Yu Qing, lowered his eyes and pondered, only to find that the emperor's eyelashes were black and thick, which made people jealous.
The emperor thought about it for a long time, and when Yu Qing thought that he would not agree, he said, "Okay, I will allow you to enter and leave the Kinkakuji Temple freely, except for the daily prayer time." ”
"Emperor Xie!" Yu Qing almost jumped up with excitement, and the emperor actually agreed!
In fact, when the emperor heard this request, he wanted to agree directly, although Yu Qing likes to play around, but he is still very measured in doing things, even if he leaves the palace, he is very relieved.
Her out-of-the-box temperament really made her locked up in the temple for three months, just afraid that she would be suffocated.
He was more concerned about the safety of Yu Qing after leaving the temple, and after thinking about it for a long time, he decided to send two secret guards to protect her secretly after she left the palace, just in case.
The auspicious day chosen by the Queen Mother to leave the palace is the day after tomorrow, and the matter is settled, Yu Qing decided to finally go to Changcang Hall to see Concubine Shen, and say goodbye to her by the way.
Early the next morning, Yu Qing changed into Wanhe's clothes, combed a simple palace maid's hair bun, went out with the prepared food box, and walked to Changcang Palace.
Following the previous secret passage, she was careful all the way, she didn't meet anyone, and soon arrived at the Changcang Palace, Yu Qing observed the movements of the gatekeeper, detoured to the secret entrance that Concubine Shen told her before, and slipped in sideways.
After entering, she didn't enter the palace rashly, she still remembered the last time she met the Queen Mother and her party, and waited carefully for a while, there was no figure in the courtyard, and there was no sound of speaking, so Yu Qing had the courage to go in.
I looked around the house, but I didn't see Concubine Shen, where did I go? The Changcang Hall is so big, there is no one in the courtyard and the hall, that is, in the backyard.
Sure enough, when Yu Qing arrived in the backyard, she saw Concubine Shen squatting on the ground, with a bucket at her feet, and was watering the ground with a water scoop.
Here are all the medicinal herbs that were planted in the past, and now they are all growing strong and strong, thanks to the care of Concubine Shen.
When Concubine Shen heard movement behind her, she thought that the Queen Mother was coming again, and she suddenly tensed up, and when she found that it was Yuqing, she relaxed and exhaled.
"Girl, you're here." Concubine Shen smiled faintly.
Yu Qing also smiled and responded: "Yes, I haven't come to see you for a long time, I miss you very much." ”
Concubine Shen called kindly, but Yu Qing knew that Concubine Shen didn't really let down her guard in her heart, but because she could only come to see her, she occasionally smiled.
is also because she is the emperor's biological mother, but she doesn't know why she was imprisoned in the Changcang Palace by the Queen Mother, and even her own son thinks she is dead, with a little pity and sympathy, so she often cares about her.
And Concubine Shen is also the only woman in this harem who will not hurt her, chatting with her, you don't have to be careful, and you won't be intrigued.
"Thanks to the jade pendant you brought last time, I can live until now, and helping you take care of these herbs can be regarded as a little reward for me." Concubine Shen scooped another spoonful of water and slowly poured it down the ravine.
"Concubine Shen, actually, I came this time to say goodbye to you." Yu Qing took another melon scoop from under the window, squatted down, and helped Concubine Shen water it together.
"Farewell? Where are you going? Concubine Shen stopped moving, looked up and asked Yu Qing.
Where did the woman who entered the palace go out, she was even more afraid that Yu Qing would encounter something, and she couldn't think about it like she had before, and she had the idea of committing suicide.
Concubine Shen's question, to the point that she had a little real concern, Yu Qing's heart warmed when she saw it, and she laughed loudly: "Haha, don't worry, concubine, if anyone commits suicide, I will not have the idea of committing suicide, I am an optimist." ”
"Optimist?" Concubine Shen wondered. What is this word, I have never heard it in all these years of life.
"That is, to behave in the world, to be optimistic and cheerful, and to think openly!" Yu Qing thought for a moment and explained.
Concubine Shen nodded, this is not bad, she also wants to be an optimist, but it is so easy.
Since it's not a death seeking, is it really ......
"You're leaving the palace?" Concubine Shen's eyes widened.
"Well, the concubine is like a god, and Yu Qing admires and admires it." Yu Qing was in a good mood, and she also fought with Concubine Shen haha.
However, Concubine Shen didn't eat this set, "Where are you going?" ”
"The Queen Mother ordered me to go out of the palace to pray for the royal family, praying for more children and grandchildren, and the heirs will last." After sprinkling the last scoop of water, Yu Qing got up and patted the soil on the side of her skirt and said.
"Humph! Can she be so kind? "Concubine Shen didn't think that it was actually the woman's will, and ordered Yuqing to go out of the palace to pray for blessings, or for the sake of passing on the ancestry.
"Back to the concubine, it's true." Although Yu Qing didn't want to admit it, the Queen Mother was really worried about the issue of heirs.
"Why don't you assign someone else, but you?" Concubine Shen is suspicious of heart disease again, which is a common problem of a high-ranking person.
She wondered if Yu Qing had secretly taken refuge in the Queen Mother, otherwise how could such a big event be handed over to such a little girl, or, from the beginning, she was sent by the Queen Mother to monitor her.
Yu Qing saw Concubine Shen's expression, she knew what she was thinking, and she didn't care, just when she had been alone for a long time, her brain would always be a little abnormal, and she still patiently told her about Master Chen.
"Master Lichen, I know this person, since he is inspired by the master, there must be no difference." If Yu Qing is really a blessed person, it must be beneficial to the emperor.
Seeing that she can bring the emperor's jade pendant, she knows that the emperor treats her well, but she doesn't know what this girl thinks, and she also wanted to try her sincerity, but she has never looked for a chance.
Yu Qing stepped forward to help Concubine Shen, took her into the house, took out the food in the food box, and placed them on the table one by one.
"The prayer lasts for three months, I came to see you before leaving the palace, I knew that you love spicy food, and I deliberately made spicy belly shreds, and I was afraid that you would hurt your spleen and stomach, so I came with a bowl of yam porridge, you can taste it."
