Chapter 194: Still Puzzled
The parrot yelled at King Yu twice, Xue Yi finally couldn't help laughing, Emperor Cheng looked at Xue Yi dumbfoundedly, since Xiao Yichen's death, she had never laughed so happily again, Emperor Cheng was overjoyed and said casually: ". ET”
"Thank you, thank you." The parrot jumped and screamed on King Yu's arm, nodding vigorously in thanksgiving.
Emperor Cheng looked at the parrot in astonishment, and Xue Yi smiled lightly: "This parrot is simply a goblin, the emperor's golden mouth is open, and it is already busy thanking, lest the emperor take back his life." ”
Emperor Cheng smiled helplessly, pointed to the parrot's head and said, "You are really a ghost, okay, I will make you a national treasure, and I will stay in the Chenhui Courtyard to accompany Concubine Xue in the future." ”
King Yu saw Xue Yi smiling lightly, and suddenly looked at the parrot affectionately, his slightly magnetic voice was a little sad, and he recited: "Now I am wrong, and my heart is miserable......"
"Red tears are secretly drooping, and the eyes are full of spring breeze. I know that I have no plan after that, so I say that I will be happy. A farewell, falling pear blossoms and the west. The parrot and King Yu looked at each other, and their voices were the same as those of King Yu.
Xue Yi's pair of water eyes and King Yu's black eyes met in the air, flashing.
Emperor Cheng is not good at poetry, but he also heard the helplessness and sadness in this song of picking mulberries, seeing the sudden blur in King Yu's eyes, Emperor Cheng's face was pale, coughed lightly, and said: "It's not early, Concubine Xue's body must be tired, King Yu retires." ”
King Yu knew that Emperor Cheng was suspicious, and he was also worried that he would lose his temper if he delayed any longer, so he hurriedly bowed down and retired, and said with a smile: "The younger brother forgot the etiquette when he saw that Niangniang was happy, and hoped that the emperor and Niangniang would forgive their sins." ”
"What is King Yu's crime, is this parrot too likable, I don't know what the name of this parrot is?" Xue Yi asked with a debt.
King Yu still bowed, his hands almost hanging to the ground, and said humbly: "Weichen just met it by chance in the market, and didn't name it, since the mother likes it, why not reward her with a name?" ”
Xue Yi pondered for a while, looked at the parrot's emerald green feathers were cute, and said after a long while: "Its feathers are as clear as jade, and they are clever and dexterous, so it might as well be called Cui Linglong." ”
King Yu hurriedly said to the parrot: "In which life have you cultivated the blessing that you have been so liked by the mother, don't you thank you quickly?" ”
The parrot stared at Xue Yi and recited Shicai's mulberry picking poem again: "Now I was wrong, and my heart is ....... miserable."
Seeing this, Xue Yi yawned intentionally, and said lazily: "The body of this palace is a little tired, so let's invite the prince to come and see Cui Linglong another day." ”
King Yu's tone suddenly became a little more sad: "Yes, it's just that maybe Prime Minister Lan will bring back better things from Biansai to the emperor and Niangniang, I'm afraid that Niangniang will put Cui Linglong in the back of her mind at that time." ”
"What did you say?!" Xue Yi sat up suddenly, staring at King Yu with dark eyes and asked.
Emperor Cheng's face changed suddenly, the reason why he sent Lan Guang to Biansai was because when Xue Yi was raising a baby, he could only lie on the bed, he specially instructed Xue Yi to block the news inside and outside the palace, for which he also put Xue Wu under house arrest, and he didn't want King Yu to leak the news today.
Seeing Xue Yi's shocked and puzzled look, King Yu had already guessed that she didn't know that Lan Guang led 20,000 old and weak soldiers to Biansai to quell the rebellion, and peeked at Emperor Cheng, and saw that his handsome face was blue and white for a while, and said with a smile: "Xiao Wang retires, Niangniang is so good to give birth to." ”
Xue Yi saw the back of King Yu in a hurry, turned around and asked Emperor Cheng: "Your Majesty, the concubine is in the harem, and since she has sworn with the emperor, she will not interfere in the affairs of the emperor and the Lan Mansion again, but the concubine heard that the prime minister was worried about the country, and the cursive script scared off the envoy of the Lanling Kingdom, I don't know if this matter is true or false?" ”
Emperor Cheng smiled embarrassedly: "Naturally, it's true, I used to look down on me the most, and I didn't want him to be really talented, I was very pleased." ”
Xue Yi's face was solemn and nodded: "I hope the emperor is sincere, and the concubine doesn't know whether to talk about something or not?" ”
Emperor Cheng hugged Xueyi in his arms, and said lovingly: "Xue'er wants the stars in the sky, and I will also climb the ladder to pick them for Xue'er." ”
Xue Yi wanted to cry, her black eyes were full of tears, and she stared at Emperor Cheng: "The emperor treats the concubines with deep kindness, and the concubines have nothing to repay, although the concubine's body has been better recently, but for some reason, she remembered Xue Wu, and the girl doesn't know what is going on now, can the emperor Xuan Xue Wu enter the palace to accompany the concubine?" ”
Emperor Cheng knew that Xue Yi Bingxue was smart, and King Yu's words just now had already made her suspicious, and she was afraid that Xue Yi would be uneasy, if she agreed, he was really not sure that the big-mouthed Xue Wu would say something that should not be said.
Emperor Cheng was just stunned, Xue Yi had already guessed that ** is not far from ten, she smiled indifferently: "Since the emperor is embarrassed, forget it." ”
"No, I'm not embarrassed, it's just ...... It's just that I'm worried that Xue Wu's girl entering the palace will make Xue'er angry. Emperor Cheng pinched Xue Yi's nose.
Xue Yi's eyes were cool, and she smiled at Emperor Cheng's dark eyes and said: "Okay, there has been a lot of discussion in the palace about Chenhui Courtyard, maybe Xue Wu can still be free in the Prime Minister's Mansion, so as not to make the Queen Mother and her old man angry again." ”
"Cher, do you really think so? Are you really just thinking about Snow Dance? Emperor Cheng stared at Xue Yi.
Xue Yi met Emperor Cheng's gaze: "Does the emperor think that the concubine still has other intentions?" ”
Emperor Cheng hurriedly shook his head: "It's that I have thought about it a lot, so let's do it, I will finish my political affairs another day, and ask me to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion in May to pick up Xue Wu into the palace." ”
"Forget it, it's better to have more than one thing, it's the concubine's intention just now, and it shouldn't make the emperor embarrassed." Xue Yi's long eyebrows were slightly frowned, and her eyes fell on Cui Linglong's body with a little sadness, and a tear slipped silently down the corner of her eyes.
Emperor Cheng saw Xue Yi's face sad, secretly hid his tears, and hurriedly said: "It was fine just now, why is this time sad again?" It's just for Snow Dance, so I'll ask someone to invite me right away. ”
"Come on, come to Chenhui Courtyard in May, and say that I have an urgent matter." Emperor Cheng walked to the door and called the little eunuch to pass on the fifth father-in-law.
Not long after, the fifth father-in-law trotted into the Chenhui Courtyard, and just arrived in the courtyard, knelt on the ground and said loudly: "The slave asks to see the emperor in May." ”
Emperor Cheng stood at the door and said loudly: "In May, I ordered you to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to see the Prime Minister immediately, and said that the mother misses her sister and wants to take the second lady into the palace immediately." ”
The fifth duke was stunned and grew his mouth, and he failed to understand the meaning of Emperor Cheng for a while, because Emperor Cheng had issued a strict decree a few days ago, if one person leaked the news that the prime minister's mansion was blocked from Beijing, he would be beheaded all over the house, and May stared at Emperor Cheng with wide eyes and a puzzled mouth, and Emperor Cheng mouthed Nunu in the house.
May has been in the palace for decades, serving the emperors of the first emperor and the emperor of the Cheng dynasty, naturally smart and intelligent, and hurriedly replied loudly: "Yes, the slave obeys the order, but it is almost noon at this time, can the old slave arrange the lunch of each palace first?" ”
Emperor Cheng deliberately said loudly: "Bold May, don't you understand what I mean?" I want you to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to pick up the second miss immediately! ”
"The emperor is wise, and it is not at this time to take Xue Wu into the palace, just go after the fifth father-in-law is done." Xue Yi saw that Emperor Cheng was angry, and was busy in the house to publicly explain to the five dukes.
Emperor Cheng was waiting for Xue to say this, secretly relieved, and went back to the house and said to Xue Yi: "The Queen Mother has invited me a few times, I went to accompany the Queen Mother to lunch, and then came back to accompany Xue'er in a while, what do you want to eat?" The minions of the Ombudsman sent it over. ”
Xue Yi shook her head and smiled: "That is the case, the emperor should go quickly, the concubines will eat whatever they want to eat with Liu Nong Xiaohu and others." ”
After Emperor Cheng left, Xue Yi reluctantly sat up and was about to go to the ground, Liu Nong lifted the curtain and walked in and exclaimed: "Niangniang, what are you doing, it's been hard to survive for more than half a month, what do you want to be strong here?" ”
Xue Yiyu's face was dark, neither looking at Liu Nong nor ignoring her, Liu Nong came to help her with both hands, she stiffly pushed away Liu Nong's hands, Liu Nong looked at the cold-faced Xue Yi incomprehensibly, and was puzzled, Xue Yi had never taken the master's money, and she was even more kind to Liu Nong and other girls, and the atmosphere had never been overjoyed by them, why was it so abnormal today? !
Liu Nong's eyes were red, and he said with a little crying: "What's wrong with Niangniang today?" If there is anything wrong with the slave and maid, the mother beats and scolds and scolds, even if the slave and maid are pulled out and cut, it must be that the slaves and maids have done something wrong, and the slaves and maids do not dare to complain, but why should the mother be like this? Even if the slave is dead, she is also a fool! ”
Xue Yi looked at Liu Nong and smiled coldly, and snorted: "Hmph, what a loyal slave!" It's just that your loyalty has been given to the emperor, right? You've been hiding from me so hard! ”
Seeing that Xue Yi's voice had changed, Liu Nong meditated for a long time, and her face changed, Xue Yi secretly looked at Liu Nong's face, and saw that her expression had really changed greatly, knowing that her guess was true, and quietly waiting for Liu Nong's next words.
"Are you still going to hide it from me?" Xue Yi saw that Liu Nong just hung her head and wept and asked.
Liu Nong wiped his tears, looked at Xue Yi, and said ruthlessly: "It's not that the minions have the intention to hide it from the mother, but I am afraid that the mother will know that she is angry and has a fetal gas, but it is not beautiful, so I didn't say it." ”
"Liu Nong, don't I know that you and Xiaohu are both dedicated to protecting me? It's just that you should let me know these things, and I can prepare for them. Xue Yi picked up Liu Nong with a long sigh and continued: "In this harem, there are traps everywhere, everyone is like peach blossoms, kind and beautiful, and they are calculating and competing for favor, I and you, Xiaohu are both prosperous and lossy, you and Xiaohu should not hide it from me." ”
Liu Nong nodded, blushed and said: "The emperor has often favored Concubine Xiu and Concubine Rou recently, and the minions in their palace are very proud, often laughing at and bullying the palace maids and eunuchs in our palace, but the slaves and maids have been suppressed, so that they don't alarm the mother." ”
Xue Yi looked at Liu Nong and asked, "Is that all?" ”
Liu Nong nodded, looking at Xue Yi firmly with big eyes: "That's it, did Niangniang hear anything else?" ”
Xue Yi shook her head in disappointment and let go of the hand holding Liu Nong, she thought that Liu Nong would know some things about the Prime Minister's Mansion, but now it seems that Liu Nong doesn't know, the more this is the case, the more Xue Yi's heart becomes nervous.
I don't know if my dad is alive or dead? Is the Prime Minister's Mansion still here?!
