Chapter 340: The Great Fire in the Palace
The singing and dancing in the Dayin Council Hall were leveled, the silk and bamboo were around the ears, and everyone pushed the cup to change the lamp.
Ruan Shengnan sat beside Xuanyuan, watching him drink with the courtiers one by one, looking in a good mood.
'Your Majesty, the concubines also prepared a show. ”
"Oh! What program? ”
"Your Majesty, please go to the Observation Pavilion."
Xuanyuan and the courtiers helped Ruan Shengnan, who was pregnant, to the viewing pavilion on the second floor, standing on a high place to see the front of the Yizheng Palace, the carriage that was originally parked at the entrance of the Yizheng Hall was gone, and in the open space in the center, there were already hundreds of men wearing fanged masks and holding torches high.
The majestic drums sounded, and everyone sang and danced to provoke the torch dance, which is a blessing and auspicious dance that will be danced when the barbarians celebrate the victory and harvest or the festival.
"Long live the emperor, long live, long live!" The shouts shook the sky.
Immediately after that, fireworks are lit up in the night sky.
Xuanyuan looked at the fireworks and remembered the fireworks in the Medicine Immortal Valley, Mu Bangshang snuggled up to him, and he ordered Qi Luan to make fireworks with words for a long time, which made it a pity that her mother and son were not by his side.
Ruan Shengnan saw Xuanyuan recklessly seeing the fireworks in the night sky, "The emperor's concubines pray that the emperor will be blessed and the country and the people will be safe!" ”
"The queen really has a heart!"
After the banquet, Xuanyuan and Ruan Shengnan returned to Fengqi Palace, Xuanyuan and Xuanyuan still had official business to deal with, and it would soon be the end of the year, and there were a lot of official affairs piled up.
Ruan Shengnan was also a little tired after a day of tossing, "Although the emperor is busy, the concubines will rest first." ”
Xuanyuan went to the side hall, Ruan Shengnan's expression immediately became solemn, Xuanyuan didn't respond to her thoughts, he didn't have himself in his eyes.
"Niangniang, today's banquet went well, Niangniang looks unhappy."
"You didn't notice that the belt that the emperor wore around his waist was the one in the barbarian camp, and it was already stained with blood, and on this kind of happy day, he actually brought a blood-stained belt, which can show that it was given by that woman."
"Otherwise, Mingxiu will destroy that belt."
"Mingxiu, don't act rashly, don't annoy the emperor, the palace is a little sleepy, you pay attention to the emperor's whereabouts. Maybe the emperor has brought the mother and son back to the palace. ”
"Yes!"
Xuanyuan was handling official business in the side hall, he just wanted to be quiet and ordered Zhang Deshun to go back first.
It's already the second watch, his birthday has passed, Xuanyuan put on a fox fur and walked towards Fengyi Palace.
When he came to the gate of Fengyi Palace, he always felt that someone was following him, it was no secret that he came to Fengyi Palace, could it be that Ruan Shengnan suspected that he hid his mother and son in Fengyi Palace.
Even if it is found, with Ruan Shengnan, Mu Bangshang's life will be even more difficult, and the hatred between the two people will become deeper and deeper, how can they hide people in the palace.
When he entered the main hall, the hall was empty, so he found a place to sit down. Just sit quietly.
Yuxiu heard the sound, hurriedly collapsed, came to the main hall and saw Xuanyuan coming, knelt on the ground with a plop, and burst into tears, "Your Majesty, you are finally here." ”
Xuanyuan didn't come for a few days, and Yuxiu looked like this, "What happened to Yuxiu?" ”
Although Gonggong Zhang told her not to make a noise, Yuxiu still let the emperor know the true face of the queen.
"Your Majesty, the queen mother retaliated and changed the supply in the palace without permission, and the food sent was like swill, and the people in Fengyi Palace were not starved to death thanks to the help of Father-in-law Zhang."
"Zhang Deshun, I didn't expect Zhang Deshun to help, Zhang Deshun didn't mention it when he wanted to settle the matter. Ruan Shengnan found out early in the morning that he had come to Fengyi Palace, but he didn't pierce the layer of window paper.
I thought she was a reasonable person, but I didn't expect that she was also a jealous woman, and she secretly did things and feet.
"I already know about this, make me a cup of tea."
"Yes!" Yuxiu hurriedly got up from the ground.
Xuanyuan just drank a cup of tea and sat quietly, thinking that his wife and children were in Xifan, although Ge Shuxin had been abolished by him, every time he thought of his beloved woman lying in Ge Shuxin's arms, he always felt very uncomfortable, and he wanted to use all means to complete the great cause and take her mother and son back.
Before I knew it, it was about to dawn, and I returned to Fengqi Palace.
Ruan Shengnan naturally had resentment in her heart, she worked hard to prepare for the birthday banquet, but Xuanyuan Reckless stayed in Fengyi Palace all night, even if the woman left, Xuanyuan Reckless still did not forget in her heart.
Xiao Zhuyin quietly sent someone to keep an eye on the movements of Fengyi Palace, and when he learned that the emperor was in Fengyi Palace, he knew that on such a day, the emperor would definitely think of Mu Bangshang.
Fengyi Palace is the dormitory where Mu Bangshang once lived, and the things in it were all used by Mu Bangshang, and the luxury made people jealous.
Xiao Zhuyin took the charcoal, she was born in Jiangmen, his father was a general, he had seen firearms since he was a child, put the medicine powder into the medicine bottle, and then inlaid the medicine bottle in the charcoal to seal it, and then used fireworks to roast the black camouflage, mixed in the charcoal in the Fengyi Palace, as long as someone put the charcoal into the stove, it will explode after heating.
The palace is preparing for the busy New Year, Ruan Shengnan received some flavors of bacon and dried beef leg from his brother from Manhu, and he also wanted his sister who married far away to know that he was a Manhu.
Ruan Shengnan knew that her brother was also testing her, whether he regretted marrying Xuanyuan, if she regretted Ruan Shifan, he would bring her back to Manhu, and until now Ruan Shifan is not at ease to leave Ruan Shengnan alone in Dayin.
Ruan Shengnan knew that her brother really loved her, Ruan Shengnan did not regret marrying Da Yin, and she was in a good mood and ordered the imperial dining room to prepare wine and food.
I heard that Mu Bangshang would cook for Xuanyuan in the past, and she planned to cook for Xuanyuan in person, and she would only have one bacon rice.
Ordered someone to invite the emperor to Fengqi Palace for lunch, today there are people with barbarian beard, Ruan Shifan is warning him, although Ruan Shengnan married Da Yin, he has not forgotten this sister, and he is always paying attention to her.
At this time, Ruan Shengnan announced that he would go again, which was exactly the same as his brother's idea, and wanted to refuse, to see what tricks she wanted to play?
As soon as he walked into Fengqi Palace, he smelled the aroma of food, and if it was true, he knew that Ruan Shifan knew that Ruan Shengnan was not used to eating Dayin's food, so he sent someone to send Manhu-style food.
Ruan Shengnan saw Xuanyuan coming recklessly, "The concubine has seen the emperor!" ”
Xuanyuan saw that her lower abdomen was already obviously bulging in her robe, she was more than four months pregnant, and the imperial doctor had been able to diagnose the gender of the child, he didn't want his child to have the lowly blood of the barbarians, and her child would not stay. She carries the hairpin every day,
The stone outside the sky will have a strange wave of light, so that pregnant women miscarry, the original Tenglong jade was placed in the main hall of Fengyi Palace, not in the bedroom. Ruan Shengnan has not yet shown signs of miscarriage, could it be that there is a mistake in the records in the classics.
"If you're not physically convenient, you don't need to be courteous."
"Your Majesty, the concubine will cook in person today, so that the emperor can taste the craftsmanship of the concubine."
Xuanyuan was very surprised, Mu Bangshang went back to learn cooking in order to take care of his father and younger brother, Ruan Shengnan is a princess of Manhu, how could he go to learn cooking.
"The queen is proficient in cooking?"
"It's embarrassing, the table is full of dishes, and the concubines will only have the same bacon steamed rice, and they learned it when they were in the barracks."
Xuanyuan suddenly remembered the shame in the barracks, but his eyes did not flash, "Then I want to taste it." ”
Ruan Shengnan opened the lid, and inside were two bowls of steamed glutinous rice with bacon, and the aroma of glutinous rice and bacon came to his face, which was the only thing Ruan Shengnan could do.
Watching Xuanyuan scoop a mouthful and chew it carefully, "How does it taste?" ”
The glutinous rice is soft and glutinous, and the taste is okay, but he doesn't like the dry firewood of bacon, maybe he doesn't like the flavor of barbarian hu.
Thinking that Mu Bangshang would have a stomachache after eating glutinous rice cakes, he said casually: "Eating less glutinous rice will hurt your stomach." ”
Ruan Shengnan saw that Xuanyuan didn't answer the question directly, but said something brainless, "The emperor is talking to his concubines." ”
I thought of her again, and remembered what Ruan Shengnan asked him just now, "Of course, although it is delicious, pregnant women still have to eat less, and they will have a stomachache." ”
Xuanyuan was extremely concerned about her and the child, and Ruan Shengnan was happy between his eyebrows, "The concubine Xie Huang cares."
The cold wind in the wax moon is cold, the wind is blowing strongly, the sky is cold and the ground is freezing, and the New Year will be coming soon, and there is no trace of joy in the Fengyi Palace.
The bedroom room at night was a little cold, Yuxiu tossed and turned and was sleepless, and wanted to go to the main hall to do it, Xin'er was woken up by her movements, knowing that Yuxiu couldn't sleep and always had to sit in the main hall for a while.
Xin'er wrapped herself in the quilt, "Sister Yuxiu, the room is a little cold, stir up the fire, add some charcoal and leave!" ”
This was an ordinary thing, Yuxiu hooked up the charcoal with tongs, picked up a few pieces of charcoal and threw them into the stove, turned around and closed the door and went to the main hall.
The hall was brightly lit, as luxurious as ever, but it was very deserted, how good it would be if the mother did.
"Boom, boom!" Yuxiu didn't know where the voice sounded, it seemed to be coming from the side hall.
Running towards the side hall, she saw that the room she was in was on fire, and she pushed the door open in a panic, and there was already a sea of fire inside, and the woman next door was also awakened, "Oh no, it's on fire." ”
"Xin'er! Xin'er! Yuxiu called twice, but Xin'er didn't respond, so she rushed in directly, the room was all wooden structures, and the fire was difficult to control.
Seeing Xin'er trapped in the fire, the stove in the room exploded and ignited the room.
rushed forward to pick up Xin'er, the thick smoke was so thick that people couldn't open their eyes, and rushed out of the room with Xin'er in his arms.
A fire was burning on her clothes, and the women rushed up to extinguish the fire on her, "What's the matter! ”
Xin'er was injured by the explosion, this fire is very strange, "What else is it grinding?" Go get ready for water! ”
It's too late for the fire to happen, Fengyi Palace is all wooden structures, and when it comes to fire, it becomes more and more fierce with the wind.
The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and Xuanyuan is dealing with official business overnight in the side hall, and he is a little restless and has no intention of reviewing the chapters. It's rare for anything like this to happen.
Zhang Deshun rushed in from outside with a panicked expression, not to inform him to go back to the palace to rest, "What happened in such a panic?" ”
"The emperor is not good, Fengyi Palace is on fire!"
