Chapter 40 There is no benevolence in the temple of benevolence

After the little guy finished speaking, everyone in the hall looked at each other.

The county lord of Yanning was the first to speak: "Whether it's a blessing or a curse, you don't know until you enter the palace, it's useless to guess and think here." ”

Mrs. Kang nodded: "What the old lady said is that everything is only known to the palace until it is ......."

The words were not spoken, and Mrs. Kang couldn't help but shed tears.

Lord Yanning frowned: "Go, go back and change your clothes and go into the palace together." ”

All the family members bowed and left from the Wanshou Hall one by one.

An Wan and An Yu rarely walked on the road together, An Wan glanced at An Yu with a normal look, and couldn't help complaining: "The third sister is as indifferent as a fairy, isn't what happened at home in the past few days because of you?" ”

An Yu glanced sideways at An Wan, smiled and asked, "What?" ”

An Wan looked ahead, leisurely: "If it weren't for the marriage of the third sister, why would the family be like this?" ”

An Yu stretched out her hand and grabbed An Wan, she held An Wan's wrist tightly, and said coldly: "I advise the fourth sister to say a few words, no one in the Fuguo Mansion wants to take the initiative to have a relationship with the Qi Palace, you better remember this sentence!" Otherwise, when you get to the palace, you won't have a long brain, and how many lives you have is not enough for us to bury you. ”

After speaking, she shook An Wan's hand away and walked away quickly.

As soon as she entered the room of the Xiao Pavilion, Bi Guo said angrily: "This fourth girl, I'm afraid that you don't have enough things to do, girl, you dare to talk like that, the rebel king has only been dead for a few days, even if the emperor doesn't move our mansion, in the end he will mind us talking about kissing the Qi family, she has to say this in the mansion, if you say it in the palace, it won't be your life, girl!" ”

An Yu lowered her eyes, and her voice was faint: "An Wan's cleverness is all used in the infighting in the house, do you think the second sister can take such a thing?" ”

Bigo shook her head.

An Yu sighed: "Hurry up and change your clothes, you can't afford to be angry with such a person." ”

Imperial Palace, inside the Hall of Renhe.

A beauty in her twentieth year is standing in the hall, dressed in purple, embroidered with peony patterns, her hair is meticulously combed, and her hairpin and earrings also complement each other.

The emperor sat on the throne and looked at the beauty and smiled happily: "Today, I summoned you as a concubine to enter the Yichun Palace, and called your father's relatives to the palace to see you, why don't you feel happy?" ”

It turns out that this beauty is An Yan, the eldest daughter of the Duke of Fuguo, is An Jieyu, and now after experiencing the rebellion of King Qi, An Cong beheaded the head of King Qi, she was named a concubine today, which can be described as a step to the sky.

Concubine Zhen's face was calm, and her eyebrows were gentle and calm, and when she heard the emperor ask, she smiled slightly: "I naturally miss the emperor's love and mercy for me, but I was promoted from Jieyu to the concubine, and when I think of the love of other sisters in the palace for the emperor, I will inevitably feel sad because of this matter, and I dare not show it even if I am happy, lest I hurt the harmony of the harem and embarrass the emperor and the queen." ”

After hearing this, the emperor stretched out his hand, and Concubine Zhen hurriedly stepped forward and held the emperor's hand.

The hand of the beauty is like a boneless, as if holding the finest silk.

The emperor smiled, stretched out his hand and lifted Concubine Zhen's chin, and said softly: "Later, the Duke of Fuguo will enter the palace, and the relatives of your father's family will also come in, you should be happy, and the sisters in your family will see that you are unhappy, and they will complain that I treat you badly behind your back." ”

Concubine Zhen nodded, lowered her head and smiled: "Yes, Your Majesty." ”

At this time, there was a eunuch outside who preached: "The lord of Yanning and the prince of the auxiliary country ask to see him." ”

The emperor had not let go of Concubine Zhen's hand, and said in a loud voice: "Enter." ”

The door of the Renhe Hall was pushed open, and the Lord of Yanning, the Duke of Fuguo, Mrs. Kang, two brothers, and three sisters who had not left the pavilion entered the hall one after another.

The family entered the hall and did not get up after bowing to the emperor, but still knelt underneath.

An Yu lowered her head slightly, but her eyes involuntarily looked up, this was the first time she had seen what the emperor looked like up close, before the Xianghe Palace, there were many people and far away, and the emperor's face could not be seen clearly.

The emperor's age looks four or five years older than Fuguo Gong, about forty-five years old, the beauty next to him looks no more than two years, the two of them are the age when they can be father and daughter, An Yu is thirteen or fourteen years old, if you pretend to be tender, you can call the emperor's grandfather.

The emperor on the throne laughed: "Get up, it's strange to kneel like this, I called you here today because I think that Concubine Zhen has never been back to the palace in the palace for several years, and I haven't seen you for many years, so I should miss you very much." ”

An Yu glanced at the beauty, it turned out that this was An Yan, the eldest girl of the An family, who had heard that it was Jieyu before, but now she has become a concubine in a blink of an eye.

When the county lord of Yanning and the Duke of Fuguo heard this, they hurriedly bowed to Xie En: "Thank you for the emperor's love." ”

The emperor raised his hand and smiled: "You guys sit down, don't keep thanking you for coming and going, today you should be a family to sit together."

Hearing the emperor say this, the An family, who had been trembling before coming to the palace, sat down calmly.

The emperor also held Concubine Zhen's hand, and said with a smile to the Duke of Fuguo: "Grandpa." ”

Fu Guogong hurriedly stood up: "Your Majesty, don't dare to take this title, the emperor still calls the name of the minister." ”

The emperor shook his head: "Grandpa, please take a seat, Grandpa has been compiling the history of our dynasty with a group of scholars from the Hanlin Academy last year, which is very hard. ”

Fu Guogong didn't sit down, only shook his head and sighed: "The emperor's words make the minister sad, the minister just wants to get close to the king of Qi and secretly find out what kind of evil thoughts the king of Qi has, but he never thought of luring the wolf into the house, causing the family to be frightened, and the minister is really incompetent." ”

After hearing this, the emperor also sighed: "I can understand the sadness of my grandfather, but my grandfather's loyalty of being willing to risk his life really makes me admire it in my heart, so I thought in my heart that there is one thing that is suitable for my grandfather to do right now." ”

Fu Guogong looked up at the emperor, although he had doubts, he didn't dare to refuse, so he had to bite the bullet and said: "Although the emperor commanded, if the minister can do it, he will do his best." ”

The emperor nodded, very satisfied: "I think that there is a flood in the south now, but there is a gang of mountain bandits who are rampant and have robbed the imperial court of a lot of disaster relief food. ”

There was a cold sweat on the forehead of the auxiliary prince, so he could only nod and say: "Although the minister has no ability, he is willing to dedicate this life to the emperor." ”

The emperor smiled with satisfaction: "In this case, then let your eldest brother An Jue go with you." ”

When Mrs. Kang heard this, she couldn't sit still, and was about to get up to speak, but was grabbed by the county lord of Yanning on the side, Mrs. Kang looked at An Jue who was sitting opposite, and her eyes couldn't help but turn red.

An Yu also looked at An Jue, she lowered her head and remembered what Song Si said to herself before, the emperor asked Song Wei to solve the King of Qi in the frontier, and the Duke of Fuguo and An Jue were going to go, I am afraid it would be more auspicious than lucky.

Just when An Yu was in a daze, I heard the emperor raise his voice and say, "Who is the third girl, An Yu?" ”

An Yu came back to her senses, got up, and fell to her knees stiffly: "Your Majesty, I am." ”

The emperor got up, let go of Concubine Zhen's hand, and looked down at her: "I heard that on the day of King Qi's rebellion, you rode a horse to the palace?" ”

An Yu lowered her eyes and looked at the spotlessly wiped wooden floor, and nodded: "Yes." ”

The emperor continued to ask: "I also heard that the first time you saw the princess of Qi, you put a face on the Qi palace and pressed your face, and you were very courteous?" ”

An Yu trembled and lowered her head: "Your Majesty, the little girl is in the boudoir, she doesn't understand the affairs of the family and the country, she only knows the things that the daughter in the boudoir wipes her face, the princess of Qi saw the little girl that day, and praised the little girl twice, the little girl lost her mind for a while, so there will be a face-dressing thing, and at that time in the capital, because the king of Qi is the emperor's half-brother, no one is afraid of the king of Qi, and the little girl is the daughter of the boudoir, and she is very afraid of the princess when she sees it, so she can only be courteous." ”

After hearing this, the emperor's voice was calm, and he couldn't hear the joy and sorrow: "In the capital, no one is afraid of King Qi? This is what the ignorant daughter of the boudoir sees? When the war was in turmoil, he dared to ride a horse into the palace, which was done by the ignorant daughter of the boudoir? ”

An Yu knew that it was useless to quibble with the emperor, so she slammed her head on the ground, so she had to change her words: "Back to the emperor, the little girl likes gold and silver treasures since she was a child, but my father taught us to be diligent and thrifty in running the house, and the silver every month is not enough to satisfy the vanity of the little girl. ”

After hearing this, the emperor laughed twice, turned his head to look at Fu Guogong and said, "Grandpa, you are really a good father." ”

Fu Guogong clenched his fists and bent over: "I dare not be ashamed." ”

The emperor glanced at An Yu and said, "I have long heard that the three girls of the An family have red sores on their faces, and their appearance is broken, I have seen it at the banquet before, but it is far away, and I haven't seen it clearly, but when I saw it today, I saw that your cheeks were very smooth, but it was really as you said, it was indeed a face rubbing cream with excellent effect." ”

An Yu didn't look up or move.

The emperor turned around and walked back to the throne, and said, "Grandpa and Prince An will prepare their bags when they go back today, and they will set off to the south to investigate the case in the next two days." ”

Fu Guogong's family stood up one after another, saluted, and said, "Yes." ”

The emperor raised his hand: "Except for An Yu, retreat." ”

An Yu, who was kneeling on the ground, couldn't help but look up at the emperor, when An Wan turned her head to pass her, she smiled, she was very happy, and when the Duke of Fuguo and the county lord of Yanning passed by her, she couldn't help but sigh.

In An Yu's heart, it was like beating a drum.

After the family of the auxiliary prince in the palace left one after another, the emperor did not pay attention to her, but took the hand of the concubine and walked towards the inner hall.

In the palace, only one eunuch was left to accompany her.

An Yu didn't dare to move, nor did she dare to speak, she wanted to cry uncomfortably, obviously she was a demon made by Fuguo Gong, why did she want to kneel here.

I don't know if I knelt for an hour or two hours, until I knelt until An Yu felt that her legs were extremely stiff and there seemed to be thousands of needles pricked in her knees, an old eunuch in the inner hall walked out, looked at An Yu and said with a smile: "Three girls, get up, go to a place with us." ”
