Chapter Eighty-Five: You're Bold
On the other side, inside Miyagi.
A little eunuch walked along the palace wall and walked to Weiyang Palace with ease. A family banquet is being held in the Weiyang Palace. At the banquet, Xiao Ziliang and his wife and Xiao Zijing and his wife were all present. The dishes on the table are not luxurious, but they have the warmth of ordinary people in the warm light.
He Jingying followed behind the eunuchs with her head down with a cage of golden soufflés, and walked into Weiyang Palace step by step. Fan Guifei's maid was inspecting the dishes one by one. The eunuchs all held the dishes high and buried their heads low, and if the slightest mistake was found on such an occasion, it would be a bitter end.
He Jingying also did the same, and walked forward with small steps, but the maid who inspected the vegetables was obviously stunned when she saw He Jingying.
He Jingying cautiously raised her head a little, and was stunned when she looked at it. At first, I couldn't see clearly when I stood far away, but now when I got closer, I saw that this maid was Liu Yinzhou who they saved in Yongzhou.
Since Liu Yinzhou went to the Yushitai to sue the royal court, he was favored by Fan Guifei and brought back to the palace to be a maid. In fact, Liu Yinzhou knew in his heart that Fan Guifei was trying to save her life. If it hadn't been for Concubine Fan Guifei who brought her back to the palace, she would have been destroyed by the enemy long ago.
Liu Yinzhou said quietly: "This golden milk crisp lady loves to eat it the most, and today's color is good." Leave it there. ”
He Jingying hurriedly stepped forward with small steps and put the golden soufflé in front of Fan Guifei. When Fan Guifei heard Liu Yinzhou say that, she unconsciously glanced at He Jingying. At this glance, although Fan Guifei did not move at all on the surface, her heart was simply flashed by this glance.
"Aifei, what's so uncomfortable?"
Fan Guifei stiffly pulled out a smile and shook her head: "The concubine is looking at the good work of this golden soufflé, and she wants to reward the imperial kitchen." ”
The emperor smiled heartily: "If the concubine likes it, she naturally wants to be rewarded." Zhu Shou, the people on duty in the imperial dining room today are each tattooed with one hundred taels of silver. Aifei, what do you think? ”
Fan Guifei smiled: "Your Majesty, you are so generous, if I can't be a virtuous concubine, you can't blame me." ”
The emperor laughed and said, "This year's Chinese New Year's Eve, I still want you to handle it." The prince's mourning has not yet passed, so Chinese New Year's Eve is simpler. ”
The emperor pointed to Yuan Jinying, who was sitting next to Xiao Ziliang, and Princess Xie Piji, Princess Anlu, who was sitting next to Xiao Zijing, "In the past, Princess Wenhui and Concubine Wen were all in charge together. Now that Crown Princess Wenhui is seriously ill, let the two of you assist the concubine together. ”
Unexpectedly, the news that Wang Baoming was seriously ill was learned from the emperor. Xiao Zhaoye is not here, He Jingying always feels that she should do her filial piety for Xiao Zhaoye, but who knows if she has a tomorrow.
Since Fan Guifei discovered He Jingying, the whole person has been on pins and needles. The prince was in a state funeral, and there was not even a single wine at the banquet. Concubine Fan couldn't pretend to be drunk and left the table, so she had to keep talking to the two princesses, her smiling face full of impatience. Although Concubine Fan was sitting, although her face was towards Yuan Jinying and Xie Pi, who were talking to her, her heart and ears were all chased outside the hall.
Yuan Jinying is older and often enters the palace, Fan Guifei said something inappropriate, and Yuan Jinying turned the conversation around by finding something else. Xie Piji was uncomfortable, this was the first time she had entered the palace to participate in such a family banquet. In the past, Xiao Zijing was not favored, and he entered the palace with hundreds of princesses and wives. Fan Guifei's impatient appearance made Xie Pi think that he had offended the concubine, and the sweat on his forehead dripped down.
After waiting for almost half an hour, Fan Guifei couldn't sit still, so she slipped out under the excuse that she wanted to take a rest because she was tired. As soon as she came out of the Yuming Palace, Fan Guifei hurriedly went to find He Jingying.
"My little aunt and grandmother, why are you here? Aren't you supposed to be in Chong'an Mausoleum? You snuck in? Fan Guifei said anxiously: "Fortunately, I left Yinzhou by my side, she recognized you, otherwise if the emperor finds out, you will be charged with resisting the decree." ”
He Jingying pulled Fan Guifei into the corner: "Niangniang, you go back first, you must not see me today." ”
"What the hell is going on? Fu'er left the palace early this morning, saying that she was going to visit you in Chong'an Mausoleum. Fan Guifei was shocked and said, "What about Fu'er?" Could it be that something happened to Fu'er? ”
He Jingying hurriedly said, "The princess is fine." I have something important to do today. ”
Fan Guifei was even more puzzled: "What happened?" Need you like this? Why didn't you come to me? If you go directly to the saint like this, if you anger the emperor, I may not be able to protect you. ”
He Jingying shook her head: "Niangniang, you can't help me in this matter." What's more, it's better not to meddle in this matter. ”
The more He Jingying said this, the more uneasy Fan Guifei became: "What is the matter?" ”
He Jingying pushed Fan Guifei out: "Niangniang, you go back first, you don't see me today." Don't mention it to anyone. He Jingying turned back to Liu Yinzhou and said, "Yinzhou, you must not say anything to anyone, you know?" ”
Liu Yinzhou nodded: "The princess and the mother are both Yinzhou's life-saving benefactors, and Yinzhou will not be careless." ”
Fan Guifei still wanted to ask, but was dragged back by Liu Yinzhou.
Another hour passed, and the feast was finally over. The emperor looked at Fan Guifei absent-mindedly and asked, "Aifei, what's the matter?" ”
Fan Guifei hurriedly smiled and covered her worried expression: "Xu is tired, I always feel very tired when the weather is cold these days." ”
"Do you want Imperial Doctor Xuan to take a look?"
Fan Guifei shook her head: "No need, the concubine is fine, just take a little rest." ”
The emperor nodded: "Then the concubine will go back to the palace to rest first, and I will come to see you later." ”
When Fan Guifei left the Yuming Palace, the emperor instructed Zhu Shoudao: "Bring it up." ”
Subsequently, He Jingying was escorted up by a guard.
It was also unlucky, although He Jingying and Fan Guifei only said a few words in the corner, they were still discovered. Not long after Fan Guifei left, Zhu Shou appeared behind He Jingying. However, Zhu Shou was polite to He Jingying, and did not embarrass her much.
"You're bold." The emperor looked at He Jingying with some displeasure.
He Jingying knelt on the hall, flustered for a while, and quickly calmed down. Didn't she come to see the emperor in the first place? If you sneak in and see you, you can see it, and if you are caught, you will see it, and the difference is not big.
He Jingying respectfully kowtowed and saluted: "Granddaughter-in-law to see the emperor." ”
The emperor glanced at He Jingying: "Oh, it turned out to be my granddaughter-in-law, I thought it was an assassin who came to the palace to assassinate." ”
The corners of He Jingying's mouth twitched, the emperor and the former prince were really father and son, and the tone of the sour people was the same.
"You're here to spare your life today?"
He Jingying took a deep breath and said, "I beg the emperor to give my granddaughter-in-law a death." ”
