Chapter 157: A basin of cold water
The next day, it was already the time of the last dynasty, and the emperor didn't get up from a hangover at all.
The courtiers waited in the palace for a long time, and they didn't see the emperor for a long time, yesterday it was the queen mother who forced the emperor to go to the court, and today there is no news.
The courtiers recommended Cui Shangyong to go to the palace of the emperor of Kangning Hall to inquire about the news.
Mu Elegy screamed a few times to no avail, and simply didn't wake him up, the more Li Ge did this for a woman, the more those courtiers would take all their anger out on their sister.
Cui Shangyong came to the Kangning Palace, saw Mu Elegy, put his hands on his forehead and prostrate on the ground, "Niangniang in the middle hall, the old minister came to understand why the emperor didn't go to the early dynasty." ”
Mu Wangge's face was resentful, "The emperor is trapped by love, drunk, and has not woken up yet." ”
Cui Shangyong frowned, "What should I do now?" The emperor can't always ignore the government like this. ”
"yes, it's not a good thing to go on like this. When the emperor wakes up, the palace will persuade the emperor, and Lord Cui and several Shoufu adults will work harder. ”
Persuade Cui Shangyong to go, and the news will soon reach the Queen Mother without her going.
"Jiangzhu, you don't have to be busy first, take the two maidservants to Qingyun Palace. Remember what this palace tells you to say, be sure to let her know. ”
Jiangzhu put her hands in front of her forehead and bowed down, "What Niangniang commands, Zhu'er will definitely not slack off." ”
In Silla, as long as a woman enters the harem, from the empress to the palace maid, she will be regarded as the emperor's woman and cannot marry in her life.
Silla attaches great importance to women's chastity, and a married woman like Mu Bangshang is not qualified to stay in the harem.
As the personal maid of the middle hall, Jiang Zhu is naturally a little hostile to Mu Bangshang, especially when she has seen the quarrel between the emperor and the queen.
The emperor is detached, gentle and elegant, the most beautiful man in Silla, and he is a god-like existence in the hearts of harem women, and his smile and smile affect people's hearts.
It is also very enviable to be in love with the middle temple Niangniang, since Mu Bangshang arrived, everything has changed, and the emperor was drunk like mud last night, so that he did not go to the early court.
Mu Bangshang slept in her clothes very late last night, she didn't have the habit of recognizing the bed, but she couldn't sleep on Silla's warm kang.
Seeing that it was dawn outside, she changed into a clean dress, and saw the green and pink Silla palace clothes in the baggage, she never liked too bright colors, especially red and green colors.
So he chose a plain palace robe with white on the top and purple on the bottom, and tied the ribbon on his chest.
I heard a noise outside the hall, "Who?" ”
"Madam, Niangniang ordered Zhu'er to send two maidservants." Mu Bangshang has been married, and it is normal to be called a lady in Silla.
Mu Bangshang opened the wooden door and saw two twelve or thirteen-year-old maidservants standing at the door.
Mu Bangshang said to Jiangzhu: "Thank you, Queen, I'm used to it alone, and I can take care of it alone." ”
"This is the order of the lady in the middle hall, the mother originally wanted to come in person, but now she is sad and sad in the temple, and she has cried all night, her eyes are red from crying, and it is inconvenient to meet guests."
"Sister, no, why is the lady of the middle temple crying?"
"It was the emperor who was unhappy last night, and drank a lot of wine, Zhu'er had never seen the emperor so drunk, not only pushed the mother, but also said that the mother and the prince in the womb were superfluous."
Last night, Li Ge said a lot outside the door, and I don't know when he left.
How could Li Ge treat his sister like this, even if he was not happy in his heart, it was not enough to be angry with women and children, how could it be done by a dignified man.
"Take me to the middle temple lady."
Mu Wangge wanted to lead Mu Bangshang to the Kangning Palace, Mu Bangshang went directly to the main hall, and saw Mu Wange's eyes red but cried.
looked at Li Ge, who was drunk on the couch, and still didn't wake up, "I heard Zhu'er say that my sister was wronged." ”
Mu Bange propped up her bulky body and leaned towards Mu Bangsang, Mu Bangshang reached out to hug her, "Sister, it doesn't matter if the elegy suffers some grievances, but the child in the womb is innocent, and the emperor hates the child in my womb." ”
Mu Bangshang saw her crying sadly, and comforted her: "My sister is too hearty, how can there be a father in this world who hates his children, the emperor is drunk, why should he take his words seriously after drinking."
"I'm afraid that the emperor is drunk and spits out the truth, and what he says is from his heart."
Zhu'er said from the side: "In the past, the emperor and Niangniang were very affectionate, and they have always been soft-spoken and gentle, and they have never been like this." ”
"Pearl!" Zhu'er's intention is obvious, all this is caused by Mu Bangshang, Mu Elegy drank Zhu'er and didn't let her speak.
Mu Bangshang's mind was clear and she could hear that Zhu'er was complaining, if she hadn't come to the emperor, she wouldn't have been like this, she would be a superfluous person.
Seeing that Mu Wangshang was silent, Mu Wangge understood what Zhu'er meant, and deliberately pretended to divert the conversation to resolve the embarrassment.
"The emperor guarded his sister yesterday and refused to go to the court, and it was the queen mother who came to persuade her to go to the court. Last night, I was drunk again, and the courtiers had already complained a lot, and in the long run, the emperor would be infamous as a faint king. ”
In the final analysis, the crux is still in himself, looking at the drunk Li Ge, his enthusiasm for power is far from Xuanyuan's.
Even if she leaves, she will be cured of Li Ge's illness of ignoring the government.
"Zhu'er, bring a basin of cold water."
Mu Wangge immediately understood that Mu Bangshang was going to wake up Li Ge with cold water, "Sister, the emperor is a body of gold, in case he is infected with the wind cold." ”
"Sister, the emperor is proficient in medical skills, how can he be afraid of the wind and cold. It's also out of desperation to do this, and you don't want the emperor to be like this after your sister leaves. ”
Mu Elegy glanced at Li Ge, in the Silla Palace, no woman dared to be rude to the emperor.
"I heard it all, my sister."
Seeing that Zhu'er didn't move, "Zhu'er, don't go get cold water yet." ”
Jiang Zhu came over with a basin of cold water, and Mu Bangsheng ordered their master and servant to hide away.
Today, we must not only wake him up, but also scold him and let him know what an emperor should do.
The cold water in his hand was mercilessly poured towards Xuanyuan on the couch, the cold water was biting, and Li Ge instantly regained all his perception.
Li Ge was soaked, water flowed into his ears along his cheeks, stretched out his hand to wipe the water stains on his face, and sat up from the couch, who dared to splash him with cold water.
looked at Mu Bangshang, who was standing in front of him with a resentful face, and immediately returned to his soul, with a hint of surprise on his face, and he didn't pursue it, "Ah Shang!" You're finally willing to see me. ”
Mu Bangshang hated that iron could not become steel, "The emperor is the king of a country, responsible for the society of the country, and the people of Li people, how can they abandon the people because of the personal feelings of their children." ”
He seized the throne in order to keep his mother, wanted to return to the dynasty, and did not want to live in a foreign land, his ambition has never been a country.
"Ah Xiang, in order to be able to return to Silla, you have been by my side. As long as you stay by my side, I will be a good emperor. ”
I never found out that he was a person who was not responsible, and it was time to give him a dose of fierce medicine.
"Li Ge, you are the emperor, you must be decisive in killing, have responsibility and responsibility, you can afford to take anything and let it go, don't always hold on to the memories of the past. You have the responsibility of a people, the duty of a husband. I have to say that Xuanyuan is much better than you in this regard, and he will not affect the government because of his feelings. ”
Hearing Mu Bangsheng praise Xuanyuan, "You actually compared me with that despicable villain, did you fall in love with him before you rejected me." ”
"I'm talking about things, if you are a responsible man, change into court clothes and go to court now."
Mu Bangshang has never had a strong posture, the two of them look at each other, and Li Ge can't be as ruthless as Mu Bangshang, he knows that what Mu Bangshang said is right.
"Someone, change clothes! I want to go to court. ”
Mu Bange was also shocked by her sister's actions, and the gentle Mu Bangshang in the past became so strong.
This is also a good thing, she will let Jiangzhu send people to spread it around the palace, and no woman has dared to pour cold water on the emperor.
The maidservants waited for Li Ge to change into court clothes, and Mu Elegy ordered Jiangzhu to take away the quilt on the bed and change it to a pair of bedding.
Mu Bangshang didn't leave, Yu Zongyuan came to take her away last night, and when she went out, Yu Zongyuan was gone.
The emperor had a hangover last night, and he must not have known about it, and now the only one who can inquire is Mu Elegy.
Li Ge changed into court clothes, a gorgeous red brocade robe, with snow-like skin, handsome and unparalleled.
Standing in front of Mu Bangsheng with resolute steps, "You wait, I will be a good emperor." ”
This trick is still very effective, in order to make him no longer entangle himself, he can only be held by official business.
"In the past few days, there should be a lot of official affairs backlogged in the palace, and you will not be qualified to say such things until you finish handling your official duties."
Seeing Li Ge go to the court, Mu Wangge felt a little more guarded in his heart, his sister was really a good means, and a few words made the emperor go to the court willingly.
"My sister slept well last night, so I ordered someone to send my sister a big bed today."
"No, just follow the locals! I can't stay for a few days. My sister has something I want to ask my sister. ”
Mu Wangge thought that Mu Bangshang wanted to ask about the token, "Sister is asking about the token!" Elegy had already handed over the token to the emperor. ”
If it weren't for Mu Elegy's reminder, she would have forgotten that there was still a token, and when she left that day, she told her sister to hand it over to Li Ge.
It was carved by Xuanyuan, but it was the stuff of the Xilin family, which is the evidence that the Xilin family once existed.
"I didn't ask about this, it seems that an assassin sneaked into Qingyun Palace last night, and my sister wanted to ask if the assassin had been caught."
"My sister is asking about this matter, and the emperor was drunk last night. But someone came to tell him, and it was said that the man was strong in martial arts and had escaped by him. ”
Brother Yu fled, and he felt a lot more relieved, in fact, he was not a bad person, and he had a lot of support on the way to Silla. He seemed to have something to say last night, but she didn't hear it clearly.
"My sister knows the Assassins."
Mu Bangshang was afraid that her sister would suspect that she was an accomplice to the assassin who assassinated Li Ge, so she dissociated herself.
"I've just come to Silla and stayed in Gyeongun Palace, and there are assassins coming at night, and I'm afraid that it's someone sent by Xuanyuan. I don't want to go back to the Daeyin Palace, and Silla is not a place to live for a long time. ”
"The Queen Mother has arrived!" The voice of Zheng Shanggong came from outside the hall.
Mu Bangshang had always heard Li Ge talk about his mother Yin, but he had never met, and knelt on the ground with Mu Wangge to greet the Queen Mother's Luan.
