Chapter 161: Quietly Returning to the Palace
The matter has come to this point, no matter what Lin Chong says, it is useless. In fact, they have long realized what Zhao Ziqian will do, but sometimes, the emperor's heart still has to be reversed, in order to highlight the so-called loyalty and rebellion.
At the end of the palace banquet, Lin Chong brushed his sleeves very unhappily in front of the officials. So, the next day, there was news in Kyoto that the saint Zhao Ziqian insisted on going his own way and did not accept strange women into the palace. However, Prime Minister Lin Chong considered the overall situation to prevent this matter, but it failed, and the monarch and ministers were suspicious.
Originally, the monarch and the ministers were disgusted with this matter, it seemed that the courtiers always suffered more, and under normal circumstances, the courtiers did not invite the king to see them, so they would definitely be alienated and avoided by everyone. However, because of the rumors, he was added to the bricks, and in the end he became a little dim-witted emperor, and Zhao Ziqian had killed the queen before, so the dispute between the monarchs and ministers at the palace banquet seemed to be wronged by Lin Chong.
After the palace banquet, Zhao Zixiu, the king of An, stayed behind and followed Zhao Ziqian to the imperial study.
"Lin Chong will inevitably use today's events to make remarks, how should we deal with it?" Zhao Zixiu had already imagined in advance what would happen in the next two days.
Zhao Ziqian shook his head and said, "It's okay, it's high now, and it will be even more exciting when you fall down in the future." ”
Zhao Zixiu understood what Zhao Ziqian meant, but he was just worried about the damage to his reputation, so he expressed his concerns: "The Lin family has deep roots, and it is also the leading family in the Li Dynasty, and it also has a certain status among the literati, if it is ...... If you criticize and write, the depiction of your name will not be so beautiful in the future. ”
Jiang Hai on the side was speechless when he heard this, and secretly thought that King An was too casual to speak, and how could he feel a little bit like a queen's mother!
Zhao Ziqian didn't care about this: "There is no emperor who has never been criticized, and the missing places can be made up." As for what kind of argument should be made in the end, let the followers judge it! In short, I must move the Lin family, otherwise it will be more difficult to control them when their ambitions grow. ”
The air froze for a while, and Jiang Hai, who heard the emperor's determination, regretted that he hadn't left the imperial study just now. But at the same time, he also understood that Zhao Ziqian did not support him, and he really trusted him.
After a long time, Zhao Zixiu, the king of An, asked the holy Zhao Ziqian: "Are you bound to get rid of the Lin family because Concubine Lin sent someone to assassinate the queen, or is it really for the stability of the dynasty?" ”
He was very outspoken.
He knew that Zhao Ziqian was not such a radical person, and this time he must have been stimulated by Yi Xiangxiang's matter. In fact, to tell the truth, if he was in a different place, if he was the one who sat on the throne today, even if he had the idea of moving the Lin family, he would not show his fangs when he was fledgling.
And now, he finally understood the true meaning of what Yi Xiangxiang said to Jiang Xuanrui back then.
Love is not about right or wrong, love is about gain and loss!
Zhao Ziqian killed all the people related to Tu Miaomen and the Red-clothed Sect, thinking that he had lost Yi Xiangxiang, so he took revenge. And now that Yi Xiangxiang has returned safely, he can no longer tolerate the slightest mistake, so he decided to solve Lin Zhimeng's trouble.
To solve Lin Zhimeng, it is necessary to move the Lin family.
Zhao Zixiu remembered Lin Zhimeng's affectionate eyes at Zhao Ziqian at the palace banquet just now, and sighed silently in his heart.
That's how people are, who cherish what they love and treat others as mustard.
Yi Xiangxiang and Lin Zhimeng, the former won Zhao Ziqian's heart, and the Yi family was favored in every way; And the Lin family, where the latter is located, is facing the danger of annihilation.
Every dynasty will have the possibility of the dictatorship of foreign relatives, and now the weak Yi family is difficult to guarantee that it will not become the second Lin family, but Zhao Ziqian can give the Yi family enough trust, but this trust cannot be given to the Lin family.
That's fate.
Jiang Hai was simply shocked when he heard the words of King An Zhao Zixiu!
It turned out that it was Lin Guifei who assassinated the queen's mother?
No way?
Lin Guifei looked at such a simple and kind person, how could she do such a thing?
Make no mistake!
However, Zhao Ziqian's words made Jiang Hai even more surprised.
"Of course, if Lin Zhimeng hadn't acted rashly, the Lin family would have been arrogant for at least ten years."
Zhao Zixiu and Jiang Hai both sighed when they heard this.
Chong Guan is angry and red-faced!
No matter how the situation develops later, Liu Fangfei at this time has already taken the disguised Yi Xiangxiang to live in the Xueyi Pavilion of Changchun Palace openly.
In fact, it was Xue Yige to the outside world, but in fact, Zhao Ziqian directly asked people to lead them into the main hall of Changchun Palace.
Because Yi Xiangxiang was assassinated before, Zhao Ziqian was even more concerned about his safety. As soon as he returned to the palace, he cleaned up the manpower of Changchun Palace, and inevitably made a mistake and asked Kang Rui to secretly check twice, because now Changchun Palace is also an iron wall.
The queen mother Yi Xiangxiang's palace maid regulation is eight, but Yi Xiangxiang felt troublesome and was only selected four. It is her personal palace maids who are Qingxuan, Xiaodan, Jimei and Yingdong, and there is also a closer one who is the Xi Gonggong who manages the eunuchs of Changchun Palace.
At this time, Qing Xuan went to Colorful Valley to heal his injuries, and the four people who were in charge of Changchun Palace were Xiao Dan and Xi Gonggong.
Although Xiao Dan and their service to Yi Xiangxiang has not been long, they have been on duty in the palace for so long, and they rarely meet such a gentle and easy-talking master. Although Yi Xiangxiang is usually a little squeamish, her dressing, housing and transportation are also very fine, and she is particularly casual, she is approachable and never beats and scolds her subordinates, so she is also very emotional.
It was with the news of the queen's assassination and disappearance, and they really shed several buckets of tears.
In fact, Xiaodan and the others also wanted to believe what the saint said about the so-called queen mother's injury in the other garden, but the news about the queen's thin life spread with a nose and eyes, and they didn't see their own mother return to the palace for a long time, so they didn't have much hope now.
But despite this, they still felt very touching about the previous move of the saint living in Changchun Palace!
But!
During this palace banquet, the saint actually announced that he would let that concubine stay in the Snow Pavilion of Changchun Palace! The point is that it is only Xue Yige in name, but in fact, it is secretly led into the main hall of Changchun Palace, which makes them very angry.
What's even more annoying is that the saint has not removed any utensils, which means that the concubine's residence will be in accordance with the queen's regulations!
So they no longer feel that Zhao Ziqian is affectionate!
was as angry as sending plums, and even directly picked up the son to report a dizzy and hot rest, and clearly refused to serve the new concubine An Niangniang in Changchun Palace.
In winter, the charcoal fire is vigorous, and the Changchun Palace is warm. Liu Fangfei was sitting in the circle chair at this time, and the leaders in front of her were Xiao Dan and Xi Gonggong, who led the palace maids and eunuchs of Changchun Palace to salute her.
Liu Fangfei smiled and said, "Don't kneel, get up." ”
Xiao Dan hesitated for a moment, then stood up, and the others followed one after another.
Liu Fangfei shook her skirt and stood up, and began to browse the Changchun Palace by herself.
"This vase is good, but it's not gorgeous enough! The ornaments are exquisite, and the four treasures of the study are also good, and the calligraphy and paintings that are hanging here...... Well, I can't appreciate that! ”
"The place is still quite big, and it is barely qualified. By the way, is the charcoal used for this a golden charcoal? Why don't you see the hand stove? You still have to hold a hand stove when you go out, and it's really cold in Kyoto. ”
"Look back, there are a few plum plants in this corner, remember not to choose the ones that will not bloom, but the ones that will bloom directly! Yi Xiangxiang said before that there are flowers that can be folded straight and must be folded, don't wait for no flowers and empty branches, I think it makes sense. Flowers are most valuable when they are in full bloom. ”
"Hey, that curtain is okay, but the color is not bright enough, it should be replaced with bright red......"
She tasted her head as she walked, and at the same time turned around and asked Xiao Dan: "Yi Xiangxiang is the main palace, can you use the big red one?" ”
Ying Dong was really a little angry when she heard this, she felt that this Concubine An was really too rude, so she suppressed her anger before Xiao Dan replied: "Concubine An Niangniang, this is the main hall of Changchun Palace, not your Xue Yi Pavilion." There are regulations on the things used by the queen mother, and there are no rules for the saint to arrange you into the main hall, and you call the queen mother by her name, is it too rude! ”
Liu Fangfei didn't think so, she smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay, I'm familiar with Yi Xiangxiang, she won't mind." ”
Now even Xiao Dan, who has always been good-tempered, couldn't help it: "Concubine An, please forgive the slave for speaking bluntly!" My mother-in-law is the queen's honor, even if Concubine An has a very personal relationship with my mother-in-law, she should not be called by her name. ”
Liu Fangfei shrugged her shoulders and said with a smile: "Okay then! ”
But then...... She continued to visit Changchun Palace! From the main hall to the inner sanctum and even the living room, it was not spared.
Xiao Dan and the others looked at her as if she had entered a no-man's land, and her anger was getting bigger and bigger, but it was the saint who led her into the Changchun Palace, and they really didn't say much, so they could only suppress their hearts and accompany them.
After about half a burnt incense, Liu Fangfei returned to the inner hall again and picked a circle chair to sit down. But this time she was modest, and did not sit on the throne.
"I'm tired from walking, hurry up and serve me a cup of tea!" She said to Xiao Dan and the others.
Yingdong originally intended to hang Liu Fangfei, but she couldn't embarrass the queen mother with Xiao Dan's words, so she could only resign herself to going to the palace and ordering the little palace maid to serve tea.
At this time, Yi Xiangxiang, who was alias Xiao He, walked in.
Liu Fangfei complained when she saw her: "Why are you only here now?" Did he embarrass you? ”
Her words aroused the doubts of Xiao Dan and Ying Dong, just now when the saint asked the two concubines and servants to lead the two concubines into the Changchun Palace, they were sulking, but they didn't find out when the little maid who followed Liu Fangfei was called away.
Yi Xiangxiang unconsciously walked to the main seat and sat down, and said helplessly: "He asked me to solve these things within two months, and after the beginning of spring, he needs the queen to accompany him to the Taimiao Temple to worship his ancestors!" Really, after the relationship, my queen is really a position! ”
Just now, Zhao Ziqian sent Jiang Hai to call her to speak, just to let her understand her grievances with Lin Zhimeng as soon as possible, otherwise he would have to strike first.
Yi Xiangxiang naturally understood that Zhao Ziqian meant to tell her that he was going to do something to the Lin family.
However, when he said that he needed the queen to participate in the sacrifice, the businesslike attitude was really annoying. It's a shame that she still thought that Zhao Ziqian was looking at her right eyes, maybe the previous emperor's anger was not for her, but just for face! Yi Xiangxiang was a little sulky.
Two months later, it was Qingming time, and it was the time of sacrifice. The Qingming sacrifice of the Li Dynasty is a major event, and together with the royal family, it is also necessary to open the temple to worship the ancestors.
"Two months is a bit too rushed, isn't it? We've just entered the palace! Liu Fangfei also said with some dissatisfaction.
"It's good that he can let me play like this, where is it better to talk to him about the conditions! Forget it, if he tells my mother in a hurry, then I will have more good fruit to eat! Yi Xiangxiang said helplessly.
Yi Xiangxiang, who is not afraid of heaven and earth, is afraid that her mother will be forced to talk to her!
Xiao Dan and Ying Dong heard a little wrong from these words!
What did the maid in front of him mean when he said that he was saintly?
What else does it mean to need the queen to accompany him to worship his ancestors?
What do you call me a queen ......?
Could it be that this woman in front of her is the future queen? That's why the new An Concubine is so fearless? That's why the Holy One arranged people into Changchun Palace?
That's not right! In that case, why don't you make this little maid an concubine?
Xiao Dan and Ying Dong glanced at each other, it was really messy!
After hearing Yi Xiangxiang's words, Liu Fangfei laughed: "You are a wicked person, you have a wicked man!" ”
She finished laughing and was about to speak again, but was interrupted by Jimei, who had just entered the inner sanctum.
Jimei walked in from outside the hall with tea, it turned out that she was still not worried about the situation in the main hall after all, so she wanted to come and take a look. And when I walked outside, I met the little maid who served tea, so I took the tea in her hand and brought it in.
The people in the inner sanctum only heard Jimei say to the people on the throne in a menacing manner, "Who are you?" What a daring! Dare to sit in our mother's position! ”
She put down the saucer with a "clang", causing the lid of the teacup to slam open.
Xiao Dan was just thinking about the meaning of Yi Xiangxiang and Liu Fangfei's words, when she found that the maid named Xiao He was sitting on the main seat.
Xiao Dan frowned and was about to speak, but Jimei first scolded her, Yingdong and the others: "Are you all dead?" The queen is not there, so let others enter the house? ”
Everyone was speechless, and the scene was a little embarrassing for a while.
Liu Fangfei stood up and picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said to Yi Xiangxiang: "Don't care about anything else, these maids of yours are indeed loyal!" Just now I just commented on your curtains, and they were eager to eat me one by one. ”
Yi Xiangxiang smiled: "That's nature, after all, it's my person...... But what happened to my curtains? ”
Liu Fangfei spread her hands and said with disgust: "It's too plain, it has to be changed to bright red to look good." ”
Yi Xiangxiang rolled her eyes: "Hehe, even if you become a princess, you can't change your previous nouveau riche temperament!" ”
They talked to themselves, completely forgetting that there were Jimei who was furious next to them and Xiao Dan who looked confused.
Xiao Dan was more stable after all, and the words of Yi Xiangxiang and Liu Fangfei gave her a rough guess.
"...... of your maids"?
Don't...... Xiao He in front of him turned out to be ......?
And a moment later, Jiang Gonggong, the head of internal affairs, confirmed her guess.
Jiang Hai came from outside the hall, ran into the big screen of the inner hall in small steps, and saw that there was no palace maid and eunuch guarding outside the screen to help him pass, so he could only enter the inner hall by himself.
After he came in, he glanced at it very low-key, and saw the so-called Xiao He sitting at the top.
So he stepped forward in small steps to salute and bow, and said in a low voice: "Meet the queen mother, the saint said that he would go to Changchun Palace for dinner in the evening, and please ...... Please also ask Concubine An to prepare. ”
In fact, if it weren't for the fact that the Holy Lord had just met the queen in private, he wouldn't have known that this person was the queen's mother. To tell the truth, he has been with you for so many years, what big scene has he never seen? Today, not only did I hear the secret in the imperial study, but I also saw the queen mother who came back alive, which was really shocking wave after wave! At this time, he was still up and down in his heart, thinking that fortunately his attitude was quite humble outside the palace gate just now, otherwise he might have offended this big Buddha!
Now, the Holy Lord ordered everyone to keep silent about the queen, so the queen's return to the palace must be kept secret. It was he who said that the matter of dining should be arranged by Concubine An.
But now Jiang Hai's words surprised everyone in the hall!
The Queen?
Xiao Dan was the first to react, and she ran towards Yi Xiangxiang: "Are you...... The Queen? ”
Yi Xiangxiang was quite unaccustomed to this kind of enthusiasm, she said with some embarrassment: "Eh, it's all strange that the disguise technique of warding off evil spirits is too superb......"
Huanxi Pavilion can produce many people, and the disguise technique to ward off evil spirits has been superb. Yi Xiangxiang looked in the mirror when she had just finished changing her face, and she was taken aback, so she was very curious about how Zhao Ziqian recognized it!
But this is not the time to think about this, because after the palace maids of Changchun Palace knew that she was Yi Xiangxiang, they paid homage to her one after another, and Jimei was even more excited and cried.
"Shhhh Mother, I still have big things to do! Yi Xiangxiang said to Xiao Dan and the others.
When Jiang Hai withdrew, he heard this sentence, and secretly slandered in his heart, what a big deal, it's just a love of fun.
Yi Xiangxiang's return to the palace needs to be kept secret, and Xiao Dan and the others are naturally extremely cooperative. Liu Fangfei is nominally the concubine of Xue Yige, but she only does it for outsiders to see, because Zhao Ziqian has not even issued a holy decree except for that oral message. So in fact, Liu Fangfei's position as a concubine is just a disguise. And for the convenience of planning, her living is also in the side hall of Changchun Palace. Fortunately, because of the relationship between Zhao Ziqian and Changchun Palace before, this place is now as tight as an iron bucket, and there is no need to worry about being known to outsiders.
After some reassurance, Yi Xiangxiang only said two things.
"Although Xue Yi Pavilion is close to the main hall, it is still necessary to send people to hang around and make it look like it is inhabited, so as not to be noticed." Yi Xiangxiang instructed Xiao Dan like this, and the latter said that he retreated.
And then she said to Jimei with a smile: "After that, you are all people who serve Concubine An Niangniang to the outside world, of course, you have to continue to behave unruly." ”
Jimei stomped her feet angrily: "Niangniang! ”
Everyone in the Changchun Palace laughed happily.
