Text Chapter 108: Streamer 8
Chapter One Hundred and Eight
The matter of Qishan Autumn Hunting is like a stone falling into a calm lake, splashing layers of ripples, and there are many discussions in the harem, not only about traveling, but also about the people who travel.
"Are you saying that the only people who traveled this time were Su Yuan and Su Rao?" Liu Meiren in the Lan Palace couldn't help screaming when she heard the maid's report back, and she didn't care about what kind of taboo she had committed by calling her name directly.
The maid who reported had a little headache, and quickly walked to the door, closed the unclosed door again, and saw that there were no suspicious people passing outside, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
Liu Meiren realized her gaffe just now, and tried her best to restrain the expression on her face, but there was still a little bit of jealousy, biting her lip, a little unconvinced, some time ago she was obviously a person who fell out of favor, and now what method did she use to let the emperor take her.
"Have you inquired clearly, is there a mistake in the news?" Liu Meiren still didn't believe the news she heard, looked at the maid beside her in disbelief, and once again wanted to confirm the news, and asked.
"It should be accurate, this is what the slave heard from other places, and the eunuchs around the emperor did not deny the news." The maid shook her head, her face a little uncertain, pondered for a moment, nodded, and said.
"Why is this so?" Liu Meiren is very unwilling, it stands to reason that the most favored people in the palace now are not only herself, but also the beauties in the palace next to her, but a few of them are not listed, but the Sumei who was snubbed before was selected as the entourage.
It's not just Liu Meiren's side who feels strange about the emperor's approach, but the reactions of other palaces in the harem are also different, with several concubines getting together and muttering about this suddenly set list.
"I don't know if my sister knows about this autumn hunt." Liu Meiren has always been proud of herself, such a sudden visit must not be a good thing, and before Li Guiren asked about her intentions, Liu Meiren took the initiative to say her intentions this time.
"Well, did you talk about the autumn hunt for a few days, but I have heard about it, and I don't know what happened to my sister." Li Guiren has not seen the emperor for a long time, and seeing Liu Meiren, who is in the limelight during this time, naturally he is not angry.
"Doesn't my sister think it's strange, wasn't Su Meiren not favored before, she was pregnant, and the emperor didn't take a few looks, why do you say this?" Liu Meiren looked at the Li Guiren in front of her without the reaction she imagined, she was a little unwilling, bit her lip and said.
"This is the emperor's decision, it has nothing to do with us, as long as we are told." Li Guiren didn't seem to have many opinions, not even a few points of gold, poured himself a cup of flower tea, and said lightly.
"Sister really thinks so?" Liu Meiren kept staring at her eyes, wanting to see through her heart and see if Li Guiren was jealous, after all, there were a few women in the harem who didn't want to follow such a thing.
"Well, with such a mind and such a time, it is better to look at the scenery outside, the leaves have been much yellow recently, but there is a unique scenery." Li Guiren didn't pay attention to Liu Meiren, he walked to the side of the window by himself, and stretched out his hand with emotion, taking on the invisible breeze.
Until Liu Meiren walked away, Li Guiren was still climbing the window, but his brows were furrowed tightly, although he said so, he always felt a little jealous in his heart, such a good opportunity, since he entered the palace, he has never been treated like this, and now he has become an old man in the harem.
Li Guiren reached out and touched his somewhat rough face, and the emotions in his heart were mixed, not only jealous of Su Meiren's current treatment, but also lamenting his growing old now, maybe this life will be spent in the harem like this, leaving lonely.
The palace has already been busy, and began to prepare things for travel, several palaces are in a mess, palace people are in and out, carrying things that need to be taken away, the carriage is full, and the cleaning is almost done.
After Liu Meiren came out of Li Guiren, the resentment in her heart became even more intense, looking at the busy palace people who passed by her, she knew at a glance that she was preparing for a trip, and her heart was even more uncomfortable, she thought that according to the degree of her favor, she would definitely travel this time, even if it was not herself, it should not be Su Meiren.
"The emperor has ordered that idle people are not allowed to enter." Liu Meiren just walked to the imperial study, and before she could enter, she was blocked by the knife-wielding guard at the door, and her cold voice forced Liu Meiren's arrogance back.
"Then you go and report it." Being blocked like this, if you go back, it will look very faceless, Liu Meiren's face was a little unbearable, she gritted her teeth tightly, pointed at the two guards, and said.
"What the emperor just ordered, please don't be embarrassed." The two guards were also very embarrassed, standing at the door, the sword in their hands was still pulled out, reflecting the white light coldly, and said in embarrassment.
"What's going on?" Yin Chenglu, who was correcting the recital in the room, heard the sound of arguing outside, the brush in his hand paused a few times, and he couldn't fall for a long time, so he closed the recital irritably, pushed it to the side, and went out to see what was going on outside.
"Your Majesty, the concubines just wanted to come and see you, but they didn't let you in." Liu Meiren saw Yin Chenglu who came out with sharp eyes, a little coquettish, and a little complaining, and glanced at the guard who was blocking her with unkind eyes, and said.
"I told them to stay here, why are you here?" Yin Chenglu didn't have much to waste here, not to mention, he had just been interrupted to watch the recital, and now his mood is not much better.
But who knew that this Liu Meiren was also a brainless person, who was favored during this time, forgot about the east, west, north and south, and even forgot his current identity, bypassed those guards, and walked to Yin Chenglu's side.
"The concubine just misses the emperor, by the way, won't there be an autumn hunt in a few days, if you don't let the concubine follow you, you can also serve by the side." Liu Meiren couldn't see Yin Chenglu's impatience at all, so she leaned over and wanted to reach out and grab Yin Chenglu's sleeve.
"Nope." As soon as Yin Chenglu stretched out his hand, he shook off Liu Meiren's hand, he didn't even have room for discussion, he brushed his sleeves and left, leaving Liu Meiren's eyes full of tears, standing there embarrassed, full of humiliation.
It's only been a while, and Liu Meiren's self-humiliation is like a gust of wind, blowing in all corners of the palace, so that the concubines who are also restless also take a break and dare not touch Yin Chenglu, for fear that they will end up with the same result as Liu Meiren, or even inferior to Liu Meiren.
"Hmph, such a thing can only be done by a brainless person like her." Su Yuan had long known that she would follow, and when she knew that 'Su Rao' was also going to go with her, she was a little surprised, and then accepted such a decision, but she was a little unwilling, and when she heard about Liu Meiren's matter, she couldn't help but sneer a few times.
Because of the matter of the autumn hunt, all the hot topics seem to revolve around these, except for a few concubines who are unwilling to break a few bottles, or get together to discuss some things, the rest of the palaces are relatively quiet.
"Guifei, do you want the rest of the things?" The things in Su Yuan's palace have basically been cleaned up, and a few maids who are walking back and forth with things walking around walked to Su Yuan's side and asked softly.
"These things are almost there, just look at the packing, by the way, see if there is anything missing on my sister's side, and send them over." Su Yuan frowned slightly, watching the things in the room being carried out, and the carriage was already full, and commanded the maid beside her.
No matter what Su Yuan thought in her heart, at least the kung fu on the surface had to be done, and the few maids who were ordered to hold some things in their arms hurriedly walked in the direction of Yuqing Palace.
The list of trips this time is not only these people, but also the Empress Dowager Liu, who has always been devout to the Buddha, but asks about these things.
The entourage in the list is already public, and Empress Dowager Liu naturally knows who is following her, but there is really no wave on her face, and she still kneels in front of the Golden Buddha as before.
In comparison, there was a bustling discussion outside, and there were some concubines who vented their dissatisfaction, mixed with small movements, and then the palace was still calm, only the sound of carrying things, and the chaotic footsteps stepped on this land.
The palace people of the Longevity Palace did not dare to disturb the Buddha of the Empress Dowager Liu, but quietly, lightened their movements, gently packed up the things that needed to be brought, and carried them one by one.
Mo Yu saw that on the doorrail, most of the weight of his body was leaning on it, looking at the smoke in the room, Empress Dowager Liu knelt on the futon, chanting those incomprehensible scriptures in her mouth, the beads in her hands kept turning, and a few of them were already rubbing and some smooth, and they quickly rotated in the palm of Empress Dowager Liu's hand, making a collision sound.
Mo Yu didn't know how long he had been standing here, but he knew that the incense in the room had been changed several times, and his legs and feet were a little numb, so he just stood behind silently, looking at the back of the Empress Dowager Liu, and did not make a sound to disturb the Empress Dowager Liu.
Empress Dowager Liu knelt in front of the Golden Buddha for a whole afternoon, her face was still calm, she had recited the scriptures for an afternoon, and the beads in her hand did not stop turning frequently, and the sun outside the house had been falling from the highest position until only a faint halo remained, and the scenery outside was also covered with a layer of sunset brilliance.
