Chapter 82: King Zhao's Mother and Son (Second Watch)
,
"Miss Xie, the concubine doesn't need you to serve you." Zhao Tianlin walked in, he was wearing a blue prince's brocade robe, with piping dragon patterns embroidered on the side, his face was tight, his lips were tightly pursed, and the majesty of a prince greeted him.
Xie Qing raised her lips and smiled, speaking of which she and Zhao Tianlin have known each other for many years, he has always been gentle and elegant, and it is really rare to see him have such an imposing look, the first time he saw such a look was on the day of the wedding, when he was dressed in a bright red wedding dress and took the lead in copying the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Zhao Tianlin's eyes were slightly condensed, he had been paying attention to Xie Qing's every move, why was she smiling? Xie Qing's appearance is extremely beautiful, although he is a little young, irrelevant and a little unopened, but his eyebrows and eyes are delicate, and he has a fresh and agile posture. The beauty raised her lips and smiled, it should be the beauty of the shy flowers in the closed moon, but Zhao Tianlin clearly saw that the smile on the corner of her lips was slightly cold.
"Oh? Does King Zhao want to personally serve Concubine De Niangniang to drink medicine? Then hand it over to King Zhao. Xie Qing handed the bowl in his hand to King Zhao.
King Zhao glanced at the bowl full of black medicinal juice, and frowned slightly, "Miss Xie, what do you mean by this?" ”
Xie Qing blinked her eyes and said with a smile: "Concubine De Niangniang must be afraid of the bitter taste of the medicine, and resolutely refuse to drink the medicine, the courtiers have been coaxing for a long time and can't do anything, maybe King Zhao, you can persuade the mother to drink the medicine." ”
Seeing that Zhao Tianlin hadn't taken the bowl yet, Xie Qing simply put the medicine bowl on the table next to him, and said to Zhao Tianlin: "King Zhao, you feel sorry for Niangniang, the courtiers know, but this medicine should still be drunk. ”
"This king hasn't asked you yet, why did the mother faint when she was so good, did you make the mother faint." Zhao Tianlin's face changed, he was discussing political affairs with Emperor Yongqing, and he heard about Concubine De's fainting, but he had important things to deal with today, so he was busy until this time.
How did Concubine Ye Defei faint before, Zhao Tianlin knew in his heart that he was clearly stunned. Then this second time I fainted, nine times out of ten I was also stunned, and after counting, the only one who could make Concubine De stunned was Xie Qing.
This angry woman doesn't pay for her life, it's strange that Concubine Ye Defei is not dizzy.
Xie Qing chuckled and said: "Lord Wang, don't frame the courtiers, it's so decent, how can the courtiers make Concubine De dizzy." ”
"It's not who you are!" Zhao Tianlin said angrily.
Xie Qing tilted her head and thought about it, and said with a smile: "The courtier remembered that Concubine De was disgusted with the medicine and refused to drink the medicine in anger, so the courtier persuaded her twice, but she didn't expect the mother to faint." ”
Zhao Tianlin's face stiffened, because he refused to take medicine and lost his temper, and then fainted? Isn't that what only children do?
But think about it again, although Concubine Ye Defei is over forty years old, she looks like a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl on weekdays, often crying and crying. Is it really as Xie Qing said?
Zhao Tianlin subconsciously looked at Concubine Ye De, and Concubine Ye Defei hurriedly defended: "No, Lin'er, don't listen to her nonsense, she is angry with her mother, and she has made her mother sick, and she can't even get out of bed." ”
Concubine Ye Defei was angry when she looked at Xie Qing, but Xie Qing was ordered by the emperor to serve her, she couldn't beat her yet, she could only endure it, Concubine Ye Defei felt that she had never been so aggrieved in her life. Although she used to have a low status and was always beaten and scolded, but at that time, she had no choice but to accept the reality. But now it's different, she is Concubine De, with a high and powerful position, but her status is much higher than Xie Qing, who is not even the daughter of an official family, but she still can't help Xie Qing, she is aggrieved, too aggrieved!
"Xie Qing, you dare to hurt this princess, do you really think that this king can't help you!" Zhao Tianlin said angrily.
This woman vomited blood in a few words, and she couldn't find a reason to cure her guilt, and Zhao Tianlin wanted to use his power as the king of Zhao to teach Xie Qing a hard lesson.
Looking at Zhao Tianlin's roaring appearance, the smile on the corner of Xie Qing's lips deepened, and there was no fear at all. She and Zhao Tianlin have known each other for many years, and she knows exactly what kind of character he is. Zhao Tianlin has weakness in his bones, if he can drag her out and beat her now, she really thinks he has grown.
Xie Qing's eyes darkened, and she suddenly remembered Zhao Tianlin's appearance when he took the lead in copying the Prime Minister's Mansion that day, so ruthless, not at all like him in ordinary times, he dared to copy the Prime Minister's Mansion with a high authority, his courage was not small!
At this moment, Xie Qing felt that she didn't seem to know Zhao Tianlin completely, if he was really a weak person, where did he dare to copy the Prime Minister's Mansion?
"King Zhao is too worried, even if he borrows the courtier's daughter, he is a guts, and he doesn't dare to hurt the concubine Niangniang of the favored harem. If King Zhao doesn't believe it, then punish his courtiers. Xie Qing blessed Zhao Tianlin, "If King Zhao wants to feed his mother medicine in person, then the courtier will retire first." ”
Xie Qing walked out as soon as she spoke, not worrying that Zhao Tianlin would punish her.
"You're provoking this king!" Zhao Tianlin walked forward quickly and stopped Xie Qing.
Xie Qing raised her eyes to meet Zhao Tianlin's gaze, her bright eyes were glowing with coldness, "King Zhao said yes, that's it." ”
"You ......" Zhao Tianlin was exhausted, how could the woman in front of him be so hateful.
"Lin'er, don't be polite to her, fight, beat this palace, and be angry for this palace!" Concubine Ye Defei shouted on the side. She really hated Xie Qing to death, this woman had been dangling in front of her eyes, had she made up her mind that she wouldn't do anything to her.
The corners of Xie Qing's lips hooked slightly: "Niangniang, King Zhao, you always need a name to punish Xie Qing, I don't know what name you plan to use?" ”
It is true that the women in the palace have a lot of tricks, and they can beat people up or kill them directly if they find a reason.
But both Concubine Ye Defei and Zhao Tianlin were silent, Xie Qing's demeanor was calm and calm, the calmness in her bones, and her often unexpected means made people have to think about whether it would cause any serious consequences if she was really punished. Thinking of Xie Qing's way of doing things in the past, it is impossible for her to have no after-moves, in case the gains outweigh the losses in the end, wouldn't it be bad.
The mother and son had seen Xie Qing's methods, and in the end they didn't dare to order Xie Qing to be dragged out and beaten.
Looking at Zhao Tianlin and Concubine Ye De's mother and son looking at each other, Xie Qing waved his hand helplessly, "Since there is nothing to order, the courtier will retire." ”
Then he calmly walked out, stopped when he walked to the door, turned his head and grinned at the mother and son: "By the way, in order to take care of the mother, the courtiers have already passed the branch with the lady concubine Niangniang, and during this time they live in Changle Palace, in the side hall, if the mother has something, she will call the courtier, and the courtier must ......."
Xie Qing paused, and then said word by word: "Sui!" Call! Follow! Arrive! ”
Zhao Tianlin looked out of the door steadily, until Xie Qing's back disappeared, and he hadn't come back to his senses.
"Lin'er." Concubine Ye Defei called.
"Mother." Zhao Tianlin came back to his senses and walked to Concubine Ye De's bed, "Mother, how are you feeling?" Did Xie Qing stun you? ”
At the mention of this, Concubine Ye Defei's face turned blue with anger, "Of course the concubine was stunned by her." Lin'er, don't you know, this Xie Qing relied on His Majesty's consent to her to serve the sick, so she forced her mother to drink medicine. ”
Zhao Tianlin's face was slightly stiff, listening to Concubine Ye De's meaning, it seemed that she refused to drink the medicine, and then she fainted.
"Mother, you are sick, you should still take medicine." Zhao Tianlin persuaded.
Now that Concubine Shu has won the favor of His Majesty, if the concubine is sick at this time and can't sleep, wouldn't it be robbed of her grace by Concubine Shu. Therefore, Zhao Tianlin hopes that Concubine Ye Defei will recover as soon as possible, so as not to have many dreams at night.
Concubine Ye De shrugged her nose and said, "Lin'er, Imperial Doctor Chang has said that the mother concubine is fine. ”
pointed to the bowl of medicine again, and said, "Lin'er, this medicine is still boiled by Xie Qing, how dare the mother dare to drink the medicine she boiled, who knows if she added anything to it." ”
Zhao Tianlin thought for a while and said: "It shouldn't be possible to put something in the medicine, the medicine is boiled by her, if you are really poisoned, the first person to suspect will be her, she is not so stupid." ”
In Zhao Tianlin's opinion, Xie Qing has no intention of being a smart woman, and her cleverness is very ingenious, which is always unexpected. In front of Xie Qing, Zhao Tianlin felt that he only had to be crushed, such a woman, he met two in total, one was Xie Qing and the other was Li Yunqing.
Thinking of Li Yunqing, Zhao Tianlin's brows furrowed even tighter, how could he think that this Xie Qing was unexpected, and he was a little similar to Li Yunqing, but it didn't seem to be the same. Li Yunqing does everything above board, starting from the overall situation, and is very organized in everything she says and does, but Xie Qing makes people unable to see her playing style, she is smart and flexible.
"Lin'er, how can you help her speak!" Concubine Ye Defei said angrily, "She was stunned by her mother." Didn't the concubine send someone to tell you? Have you told your father? ”
Something happened, Concubine Ye De's first reaction was to find Emperor Yongqing and let him call the shots for her.
"This Xie Qingyu's father promised her to come to Changle Palace to serve the sick, and she used this name to give this palace no face, and this palace must tell Your Majesty!" Concubine Ye De's mouth was crooked when she spoke.
She is the person who is favored by Emperor Yongqing, Xie Qing actually used Emperor Yongqing's words to pressure her, she felt angry when she thought about it!
Zhao Tianlin nodded: "Mother, my father already knows about this matter, but today's government affairs are busy, and my father is really not free." ”
Suddenly, Zhao Tianlin's eyes flickered a little, Emperor Yongqing was indeed busy with government affairs, but he approved the excerpt and went to Concubine Xie Shu's Yaohua Palace. Of course, this matter can't be known by Concubine Ye De, otherwise she may have to be so angry.
Fortunately, Concubine Ye Defei didn't have an idea of Zhao Tianlin's strange appearance, and said sharply: "Then tomorrow morning, Lin'er, you will visit the Xie family in the court." Concubine Xie Shu seduced His Majesty in the imperial study, and her niece Xie Qing was rude to the palace in the name of Concubine Xie Shu. ”
