Chapter 181: The Emperor's Affection
Xue Yi said goodbye to Emperor Cheng and came to Shoukang Palace to ask the Queen Mother to say goodbye, the Queen Mother sat on it with a high high-end, Xue Yi paid a big salute as usual, the Queen Mother stared at Xue Yi who was kneeling below, for a long time, before she said slowly: "Concubine Xue is a smart person, since she has entered the palace as a concubine, she must abide by the rules of the palace, the pet of this special room is the dream of a harem woman, but this dream has a beautiful dream and nightmare, a thought is just a difference, do you understand?" ”
Xue Yi kowtowed: "The concubines will follow the teachings of the Queen Mother, and they will live in harmony with the sisters in the palace." ”
The Queen Mother nodded: "Well, you can know the general best, this is Concubine Xiu, this is Concubine Rou, let's meet the two sisters first." ”
Liu Nong stepped forward to help Xue Yi, and the palace maid next to her stood behind Xue Yi with a tea tray in her hand.
The Queen Mother gave Xue Yi a big difficulty, Xue Yi is a concubine, Concubine Xiu is also a concubine or a concubine, the Queen Mother sealed the six palaces, and canonized three imperial concubines for Emperor Cheng in one breath, but it did not say who was higher and who was lower, if Xue Yi gave Concubine Xiu at this time, Concubine Rou served tea, it was equivalent to admitting that her position was lower than the two, and if she did not serve tea, it would be against the Queen Mother's will.
Concubine Xiu and Concubine Rou stood behind the Queen Mother on the left and right, looking up at Xue Yi coldly, and the Queen Mother also opened her phoenix eyes slightly, waiting for Xue Yi to bow her head, or see how she resolved the dilemma in front of her.
Xue Yi's eyes flowed, turned around and took the tea cup in the hand of the palace maid, gently moved the lotus step and walked forward slowly, when her toes touched the edge of the carpet, she was deliberately tripped by the rolled up carpet and fell to the ground, and a cup of tea was splashed on Concubine Xiu's golden embroidered shoes, Xue Yi hurriedly said: "The Queen Mother forgives her sins." ”
When the Queen Mother saw Xue Yi fall, she was startled at first, she knew that Xue Yi was pregnant in her womb, for fear that there would be a misguided emperor, so she was busy with the palace maids to help her up.
Concubine Xiu saw that Xue Yi had splashed her own tea, but the Queen Mother not only did not get angry and blame, but ordered someone to help her up, seeing that her face showed a hint of concern, and she was busy aggrieved and coquettish: "The Queen Mother is the master of Xiu'er, Concubine Xue is clearly deliberate!" ”
Xue Yi knelt down on her knees and replied: "Back to the Queen Mother, please punish Xue Yi, Xue Yi should not listen to the unwarranted voice, so that she was frightened and over-released before she fell down on the road." ”
Xue Yi said that, the Queen Mother was shocked, stared at her and asked, "What did you say?" What nonsense? yes, how did you fall after taking two steps? ”
The Queen Mother asked again and again, Xue Yi didn't want to tell the truth at the beginning, but the Queen Mother asked again and again, Xue Yi had to kowtow and replied: "The concubine originally intended to serve tea to Concubine Xiu, but as soon as she took a step, a woman's voice came from her ears, she claimed to be Madame Butterfly, and Madame Butterfly said........"
Xue Yi glanced at the Queen Mother from the corner of her eye, seeing that her face was suddenly pale, a sneer in her heart, and she deliberately paused without saying anything, and the Queen Mother really urged: "Madame Butterfly, what did she say ........ her?" “
"She said that Concubine Xiu was originally a pretending person, and she was not worthy of serving tea to her concubines........" Xue Yi looked up at Concubine Xiu, it was okay not to look at it, but she couldn't help but be shocked when she saw it!
Xue Yi has not entered the palace gate has been the palace of the palace and the courtyard of the ten **, she knows that the Queen Mother now lives in the Shoukang Palace is the Butterfly Palace where Madame Butterfly lived twenty years ago, after Madame Butterfly went, this place has been idle, Emperor Cheng is not only Madame Butterfly's biological son, and recognized in the name of the Queen Mother, but in order to commemorate the birth mother, the Butterfly Palace was changed from the new decoration to Shoukang Palace, the Queen Mother was reluctant to live in, but it was not good to refute the emperor's kindness.
Shicai Xueyi just pretended to be in the name of Madame Butterfly to resolve the embarrassing situation of serving tea for Concubine Xiu, but who knew that it touched the heart of the Queen Mother.
In addition, Xue Yi stared at Concubine Xiu in a daze, as if she had fallen into an evil spirit, the Queen Mother hurriedly waved her hand: "Come on, quickly send Concubine Xue back to Chenhui Courtyard." “
Xue Yi said goodbye, and the Queen Mother gestured to Concubine Xiu and Concubine Rou with her hand to leave: "The mourning family is tired, you two should go down too." “
Concubine Xiu bowed her knees and retreated, and just walked out of the gate of Shoukang Palace, Xue Yi stopped her from behind: "Sister stay." “
Concubine Xiu didn't turn back, and stood with her back to Xue Yi: "But I don't know what Concubine Xue replaced me?" “
"Yushang, no wonder Xiao Yu searched all over the country and couldn't find you, it turns out that you have become a celebrity in front of the Queen Mother." Xue Yi turned to Concubine Xiu step by step and summoned her true identity.
Concubine Xiu's eyelashes flickered, and the sudden change in complexion was fleeting, she smiled coldly at Xue Yi's clear eyes: "Concubine Xue probably recognized the wrong person, I don't know any feather clothes, I am Gong Zhengxiu, the daughter of Lord Gongyi, and now the emperor is the concubine Xiu." “
Xue Yi smiled faintly: "Yushang, you made a big mistake, no daughter will call her father's name, you are not Gong Zhengxiu, you know very well in your heart, this concubine Xiu was just sealed by the Queen Mother in order to restrain me, think about it, if there is no me, can the Queen Mother still like you like you like now?" “
Concubine Xiu was stunned for a moment, and then smiled coldly: "What about it?" Isn't it true that people use each other and rely on each other? If you didn't want to use the emperor to save Lan Guang's head and save the lives of more than 300 members of your Lan family, would you agree to the emperor to enter the palace? “
Although Xue Yi didn't know how Yu Sheng turned into Gong Yi's daughter, she knew that she didn't have evidence to prove that she was not Gong Zhengxiu, and presumably Emperor Cheng should also know that Yu Sheng was not the daughter of the Gong family.
"Whether you are Gong Zhengxiu or Miss Yushang, none of these have anything to do with me, and I don't want to do much, I just advise you: Don't treat the Queen Mother as an ordinary person!" Xue turned to leave.
Xue Yi and Liu Nong just came to the imperial garden, Emperor Cheng walked far away surrounded by eunuchs and guards, saw Xue Yi's figure hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed Xue Yi's hand and looked up and down, and asked anxiously: "Why did you go for half a day?" The Queen Mother didn't embarrass you, did she? “
Xue Yi swept everyone on the side, blushed and said angrily: "Look at what the emperor said, the concubine is not a dominatrix, what does the queen mother do to embarrass the concubine, it's just that the queen mother left the concubine and said a few more words." “
Emperor Cheng knew that Xue Yi had always reported good news and not bad news, so he didn't ask more, and took Xue Yi's hand back to Chenhui Courtyard.
The days in the palace are very peaceful, Emperor Cheng goes to the court every day, Xue Yi is either reading or playing the piano, occasionally repairing a belly pocket for the child in his womb, and it is also three days and one needle and five days to pass the time.
This period of affection like a folk couple made Xue Yi have an illusion, she seemed to be very happy, and happily forgot that there was a pair of tigerish eyes behind her, staring at her every move without blinking!
Time is like a white horse passing by, in the blink of an eye, Xue Yi has been in the palace for a month, according to Emperor Cheng's pre-arrangement, announced the good news that Xue Yi is pregnant, the palace is naturally a good period of celebration, Emperor Cheng is rewarded the six palaces, and the palace grandmother has also recovered, staying in the Chenhui Courtyard to accompany Xue Yi.
According to Xue Yi's original intention, she wanted to order Mama Gong to return to the palace of King Yu to retire, but Mama Gong insisted on not complying, and Xue Yi had no choice but to follow herself.
On this day, Xue Yi was fiddling with flowers and plants in the Chenhui Courtyard, and Liu Nong, Xiaohu and Gong Mama disappeared early in the morning.
It wasn't until noon that the three of them returned to the Chenhui courtyard together, Xue Yi saw that Mama Gong's face was blue, her face was calm, and her smile was as ugly as crying, Liu Nong pouted and pulled her face, and Xiaohu walked into the ear room dejectedly.
Xue Yi knew that these three people were calm and calm, she just asked, they didn't want to say it and wouldn't say it, and they didn't ask much at the moment, just leaned lazily on the couch and called Liu Nong: "Liu Nong, I'm a little hungry, go to the kitchen to pass lunch, by the way, ask the fifth father-in-law, what does the emperor want to eat today?" “
"Niangniang still said what she wants to eat, the emperor will not come to our Chenhui Courtyard to eat today." Liu Nong said without thinking about it.
Xue Yi paused in her heart, as if she had a premonition of something, but pretended to be annoyed, and said: "You girl is getting more and more disagreeable, when won't the emperor come to our palace for lunch, why won't he come today?" It's clear that you're lazy and don't want to go out, forget it, just let Xiaohu go. “
Xue Yi got up, deliberately pretending to be a little difficult, holding her stomach up, and holding her waist with one hand, in fact, her current body is not bulky, because she is wearing loose clothes, it doesn't look much different from the past.
Liu Nong saw Xue Yi frowning slightly, and seemed to be a little uncomfortable, so she hurriedly came over to help her, and tears fell: "I advise Niangniang to take care of it, the emperor has just sent a message to the fifth father-in-law, saying that the government is busy today, and he has dinner in the imperial study." “
"How did I not know?" Xue Yi looked at Liu Nong.
"When the fifth father-in-law came, the mother was still asleep, so I don't know."
"Liu Nong, don't lie to me, is there something you can't tell me?" Xue Yi knew that the heat was almost over, so she stopped going around in circles and asked bluntly.
"Mother...... "Liu Nong turned around and wiped her tears.
Xue Yi turned Liu Nong's shoulder: "Liu Nong, before entering the palace, we once made an oath that you and I will treat each other with all sincerity and share weal and woe, why are you hiding it from me today?" “
"It's not that I want to hide it from my mother, it's that I'm afraid that my mother will hurt the fetus if she finds out." Liu Nong glanced at Xue Yi.
"If you let me guess like this, my heart is uneasy."
Liu Nong was silent for a long time, pouted and said: "It's not the emperor yet, I promised Niangniang again and again, I only like Niangniang alone in this life and this life, but yesterday, I stayed in Fengli Palace yesterday." Today's lunch at noon is also used in Fengli Palace. ”
Liu Nong couldn't help but feel upset for Xue Yi, Xue Yi was stunned, in fact, she had already been mentally prepared, since ancient times, the emperor has three thousand red fans and countless beauties, where have you seen a dedicated emperor since ancient times?
Xue Yi sat silently on the couch, she originally thought that except for Xiao Yichen, her heart could no longer tolerate anyone, she originally thought that she could calmly accept the love of Emperor Cheng and other women, but now that it has really happened, she realized that she is not as strong as she imagined.
