Chapter 200: Ji Yin
Yao Chuxi heard Pan Zhenan mention two sentences, as if the war in the west had an auspicious sound, not like a while ago.
She hadn't fully woken up in her sleep, and Pan Zhen'an's voice was very soft, and by the time she was completely awake, the emperor had already gotten up, and Falling Frost and Snow was kneeling and standing waiting for him to get dressed.
Although he couldn't see his face clearly, Yao Chuxi felt that the emperor's movements and expressions were much lighter, even through the heavy bed tent, but listening to his voice was a lot easier.
It's like the feeling of a heavy stone being unloaded from my heart for a long time.
"I know, let's pass breakfast, my voice is softer."
The emperor only replied to this sentence, and did not say a word until he went out for breakfast.
Yao Chuxi slept very deeply this night, so that he was still sleepy at the moment.
But she clearly heard the cry of Princess Yunshu outside.
Princess Yunshu doesn't cry often, it's not like the third prince has to cry twice in big and small affairs, her voice is very special, Yao Chuxi can tell it when she hears it.
She lifted the bed net, sat down and put on her shoes, and Frost hurried back to serve her.
"What did Father-in-law Pan say, is there a war in the west?" Yao Chuxi asked.
Frost's expression was also very pleasant, and he replied, "The slave didn't dare to listen carefully, but it should be like this." ”
The corners of Yao Chuxi's mouth rose unconsciously, and he secretly thought in his heart, "So he can finally rest." ’
During the meal, the emperor also smiled when he saw her, "I have an early dynasty today, why did you get up, you should sleep more." ”
"You're awake, and it's not easy for your concubines to stay in bed." Yao Chuxi turned his head and asked Han Shanggong, "Why is Yun Shu crying?" ”
"The little master's ears are really smart, the princess is just about to feed, and the emperor hugged her, no, she may be hungry."
The emperor and Yao Chuxi both laughed, "Your Majesty, can the concubine be understood as you bullying the concubine's daughter?" ”
"I didn't think Yun Shu could be so funny, I usually don't like to cry when I see her." The emperor's face was no longer solemn, and it was replaced by a smile at the moment, and he didn't get angry when he heard Han Shanggong joke, "When I grow up, I think I'm a short-tempered princess." ”
And Princess Yunshu, who was in the arms of the nurse on the side, heard her father say this about her, and cried again.
"Look at it, you're making her cry again." Yao Chuxi pretended to be angry and pouted.
The emperor shook his head with a faint smile and put some dishes on the plate.
In short, having Jiyin doesn't mean that the war has been won, and besides, the news may not have come back a few days ago, but it just arrived this morning, so you can't completely relax because of this.
On the day of Lin Jieyu's frustration, Princess Yun Yuan just went to kowtow in front of the tablet, and never asked about her mother, there seemed to be no such thing as 'death' in her heart.
Ju Jieyu and others also deliberately did not mention these three words in front of her.
The emperor sympathized with her for giving birth to Princess Yun, so he buried her in the concubine's mausoleum.
Everyone in the palace knows about Lin Jieyu, and the Hidden Pavilion is no exception.
Originally, no one specially informed them, but the two eunuchs guarding the door outside accidentally mentioned that Lin Jieyu died strangely, first Princess Yun Yuan was moved out, and then she committed suicide, so it was difficult not to make people think about it.
Yue Yang heard this sentence when he passed by the gate to get food, and later asked no one to answer, so he told Yue Liu to listen to it.
Coincidentally, Concubine Qing listened to this matter again.
She is stupid now, although she can occasionally return to normal, but the imperial doctor has already said that if she drinks the decoction for a while, she can only buy a few days of life, when the decoction is broken, the person is also finished, and it is possible that the decoction will not be broken, just like the oil runs out and the lamp goes out, Concubine Qing will not live long.
Yue Yang Yueliu didn't say this to Concubine Qing, and Concubine Qing was still looking forward to the second prince being able to save her, and she was also expecting the Lu family to support her.
After knowing that Lin Jieyu committed suicide, she was very surprised.
She thought it was the emperor's hands and feet that killed Lin Jieyu, and then disguised herself as a suicide.
"She is the one who gave birth to Princess Yun, and she is not like the Chen family who suffered so many sins after the abolition, how can she be killed?" Concubine Qing looked a little crazy now, and her hands trembled when she said this, "He is so ruthless, I can't live long if I think about it!" ”
"Mother, don't talk nonsense." Yue Liu interrupted, "Since the emperor has imprisoned you, there is no possibility of killing you again, maybe... It's really Lin Jieyu's self-murder, don't you say it before, that Lin Jieyu seems to be shrewd, but she is actually a stupid head, and she doesn't necessarily kill herself when she can't think about it for a while. ”
"She's stupid?" Concubine Qing sneered, it looked like she was mocking Lin Jieyu, but she was actually mocking herself, "She's dead in front of me, doesn't it mean that I'm stupider than her?" The most important thing in the world is shrewd people, but look at Yao Shunrong, is she shrewd? Where can you tell that she is full of calculations? But in the end? Which of these people who can fight well didn't let her fight? ”
This is true, and it is not true.
Lin Jieyu's matter sounds like it has something to do with Yao Chuxi, jealous of her and envy her, but what does it actually have to do with it? Yao Chuxi didn't step on her and didn't rob her of any points for everything she got now, so why fight for it if it didn't belong to her? Jealousy is the most useless thing.
Concubine Qing's character, I am afraid that she will die and feel that she is owed by others.
But then again, why didn't she see Yao Chuxi as a bully? When the Chen family was abolished as the queen, she controlled the big and small things in the harem, and Concubine Qing was obedient and obedient, not to mention the face, even if she was resentful in her heart, she didn't want to compete with her at all, why? Because she didn't dare.
She was afraid of the prestige of the Chen family, she was afraid of the queen's cruelty, and she was afraid that the second prince would be hurt because of her impulsiveness.
Then why isn't she afraid of Yao Chuxi?
First, although Yao Zhice has just been promoted, it is much worse than before the Chen family, and secondly, even if what Concubine Qing said is true, everyone knows that Yao Chuxi is not ruthless, and third, Yao Chuxi will not hurt the second prince because she was bullied and calculated, she knows the truth that you should not do to others what you don't want.
These Qing concubines are obviously clear, but she just doesn't want to admit it.
Bai Jingxue's distant cousin had been learning the rules and etiquette outside the palace for a while, thinking that the war would be more relaxed in the near future, and the emperor hurriedly prepared to deal with the matter.
He doesn't want someone to make up bad things about Yao Chuxi, although the gossip cannot be eradicated at one time, as long as he does more to rectify it, it will always be much better.
When Wu Hongche entered the palace, he didn't even dare to breathe.
A eunuch in the palace who looked like a father-in-law took him in, and a group of three people and a total of two lines of eunuchs followed behind him, so scared that his legs and feet were not good.
After living for more than 20 years, where did he think that one day he could come to the feet of the Son of Heaven? Thinking that it was hard to come in and not open your eyes more? But as soon as he turned his head to the west, the eunuch behind him hurriedly reminded, "Wu Gongzi has to pay attention to the road under his feet, don't go off the rails, it will be difficult to cause trouble when the time comes." ”
Wu Hongche was frightened by these words, and every step was extremely heavy, his legs and stomach twitched gently when he lifted his legs, and he was not stable when he landed, and he was fluttering, as if he would fall down at any time.
He understood the eunuch's words no matter how stupid he was, not to say that he was intimidating him nakedly, but it was also a warning to him.
Originally, he was already guilty of bullying the king, and it would be okay if he was not found out, if the emperor found out, it would be a matter of losing his life!
He clenched his hands tightly into fists, and slowly released them, obviously the weather was getting colder, but he was covered in sweat.
The father-in-law in front of him turned around and stopped after walking up the steps, and said two more words, "Don't look around when Gongzi Wu goes in for a while, what the emperor asks, you answer truthfully, don't think too much, it's not good to let the emperor misunderstand when the time comes, and also, the rules and etiquette should be regular, the emperor attaches great importance to rules and etiquette, don't be guilty of a mistake, come on, please." ”
As the father-in-law's right hand spread out towards the door of the hall, Wu Hongche swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
The two doors of the hall were closed tightly, not revealing a single gap, and the palace people inside opened the door one left and one right, the sound was not loud but like thunder, and Wu Hongche, who was shocked, shivered again.
The father-in-law's words couldn't be clearer, I'm afraid only the deaf and foolish can't understand it.
On the way here, he was so nervous that he couldn't do it, and his hands pulled the placket of his clothes one by one, afraid that it would be uneven, afraid of wrinkles, and afraid that the emperor would implicate him because of this matter.
It can be said that there is no mistake at all.
But when he really got to the gate, he didn't even have the courage to step into the threshold.
Bai Jingxue promised him before entering the palace before, saying that as long as this thing is done, he will be allowed to have any treasures and wealth, and the emperor who coaxes him may be able to reward him with an official position.
What rules and etiquette were there at that time, Bai Jingxue didn't say a word. She only thought that she would be favored as soon as she entered the palace, and she trusted herself, but Wu Hongche shouldn't believe her, so that now she is at this juncture, so she has to grit her teeth and push through.
Isn't it all her fault for burning her eyebrows right now?
The father-in-law next to him said again: "What are you waiting for, Master Wu, do you have to ask the emperor to come in?" ”
Wu Hongche hurriedly came back to his senses, stepped in tremblingly, lost his strength after taking a few steps, his calves were completely weak, and he said the greeting that he had memorized for a long time with wooden lips.
"You look up." The emperor asked in a cold voice.
Wu Hongche dared to raise his head at this time.
There is a screen in the center of the main hall, and the gold thread on the top of the candle flame is swaying, Wu Hongche can vaguely see a person sitting on the main seat, and a person sitting next to him is also seated, one of them is the emperor, and the other is like a woman, and the head jewelry can be seen through the screen vaguely through the screen.
The woman was closer, and the emperor was relatively far away.
