Chapter 097: Planting
There is still more than a month to go is the centennial celebration of the founding of the People's Republic of China. The state banquet is imminent, envoys from all countries will come, and the palace concubines have already begun to make new clothes and jewelry, and the clothing bureau and the treasure bureau have been extremely busy lately.
On this day, Pin'er went to the Treasure Bureau to order jewelry, and when she passed by a rockery, she vaguely heard a voice from behind. She had no intention of eavesdropping, but she was attracted by the content of their conversation and couldn't help but pause. When she saw that there was no one around, she found a hidden corner and listened.
It was two little eunuchs who spoke.
One of them said: "This feast must be unprecedented, in order to compete for beauty at the banquet, the ladies of the palace are either making new clothes, playing jewelry, or practicing singing and dancing talents." Then we can open our eyes. ”
Another said: "If you talk about talent, I heard that the dancing posture of the Burmese concubine is unique in the world, and our emperor was conquered by her dancing skills before deciding to make peace with Dongli." ”
"I've heard of this, but I don't know if the Burmese concubine can come back from Huangjue'an on the day of the celebration, so that we can feast our eyes."
"It's hard to say. Now that the emperor is favoring the nobles, maybe he has long forgotten the Burmese concubine to the clouds. ”
"Although the emperor goes to the nobles a little more often, it is also even wet with rain and dew, how do you see that the emperor favors the nobles?"
"Well, I'll only tell you one person, don't talk nonsense everywhere, otherwise you're going to lose your head."
"Don't worry, don't you know what kind of person I am."
"Let me tell you, in order to include the noble people in the harem, the emperor sent someone to put grass in the diet of her childhood sweetheart, and he died in less than half a month."
"Huh? What is this grass black? ”
"Grass is slightly toxic, and taking it in moderation can restore yang and replenish fire, dissipate cold and dehumidify. That Li Xiucai was originally a loss of yin and jin, and his lungs were dry and unmoist, so he coughed for a long time and was weak and weak, and then he took the tonic medicine that nourished yin and nourished the lungs, but after taking Caowu, he made the dry evil attack the lungs again, and the condition became more and more serious, until he was seriously ill and died, and no one found the reason. ”
"Oh my God, the emperor is really unscrupulous in order to get a noble person!"
"Shhhh
"So, how did you find out?"
"The drugged guard had a close relationship with me, and he knew that the emperor would not be able to keep him after doing this, so he told me about it and asked me to help him take care of his family. Later, he really disappeared from the world silently. ”
Pin'er felt a thunderous explosion in her head, and tears rolled down uncontrollably. She froze for a moment, unable to believe that this was all true. It's not that she didn't suspect the emperor, so she thought of testing the slag, and the result of the inspection was that the decoction was not poisoned, and there was no medicine that restrained it. She thought that everything was providential, but she didn't expect that it would be the emperor's hands and feet, but the poison was not in the decoction, but in the diet.
She also hoped that what she heard was just speculation and rumors from the subordinates, but the facts could not be denied that Li Sheng was indeed suffering from lung yin deficiency, if it wasn't true, how could a little eunuch in the deep palace make up this allusion?
At this moment, she couldn't tell whether she hated or loved the emperor. Her love for Li Sheng has long been weakened after years of separation, and the reason why she is still insisting on it is just for the vow of "never leaving" that she has made since she was a child and the responsibility she should fulfill. As for Pei Gongcuo, I don't know when she has gradually planted a love for him. He forcibly kidnapped her into the harem, and although she was unhappy on her face, she was actually a little happy in her heart. But now it's different, Li Sheng was harmed by him, and she became his woman again, this is the so-called bad fate, right?
The two little eunuchs were still voicing their opinions on the matter.
One of them said: "If I am a noble person and learn that the lover I miss was killed by the emperor, I will not forgive him even if I don't take revenge." ”
Another said, "Tell me, how can you not forgive?" ”
"I'd rather die in the palace than accept the emperor's favor again."
"You are stupid, if I am a nobleman, I will definitely do everything I can to win the favor of the emperor, so that the emperor can no longer divide the rain and dew equally, so that the emperor will be impeached by the courtiers in the name of the faint king. A soldier who surrenders without a fight, and pulls the enemy down from his throne without a single soldier, is called pleasure. ”
"You have a point."
Hearing this, Pin'er couldn't help but have a bit of self-deprecating desolation on her face, they thought too highly of themselves. What they don't know is that the emperor has not favored him yet. As for the emperor, she doesn't plan to retaliate.
She turned and staggered out, her mind in turmoil. Since the emperor wants to get himself by such unscrupulous means, why has he never touched himself in the past two months? However, except for not touching himself, all his actions are full of deep love for himself. If it's not for others to show, then there is only one explanation, he is waiting for himself to take the initiative to give him a hug.
Yes, he said he wouldn't force her without her consent. She smiled coldly, then she took the initiative to do it once, otherwise how could she be worthy of his hard work for herself?
Thinking of this, her eyes lit up and she walked towards the Treasure Bureau.
At the entrance of the rockery cave, the two little eunuchs looked at Pin'er's back from afar, looked at each other and smiled.
The early summer evenings are quite pleasant. Pei Gongcuo was busy with the government and first took a hot spring, and then went to Shuihua Palace for a turn before turning back to the Yangxin Palace.
Today's Heart Nourishing Hall seems to be a little different from the past, and the inner hall that was originally bright has a somewhat bleak and ambiguous atmosphere.
He turned to look at Fu Xin, who shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands and said, "It wasn't a minion who did it." ”
He looked at Xiao Yangzi again, and Xiao Yangzi hurriedly waved his hand and said, "The slave has not returned to the Heart Cultivation Hall all day, and it is not the slave who did it." ”
Guanghan, who was guarding outside the inner hall, heard the sound of talking, raised his eyes and looked over, and saw that it was the emperor, so he hurriedly trotted up to say goodbye.
"What's going on?" Pei Gongcuo raised his eyes and looked at the inner hall.
"Oh," Guanghan said as if remembering something, "Niangniang said that she wanted to surprise the emperor." ”
"Someone's in there?"
"Exactly."
Pei Gongcuo said unhappily: "Who is so bold to enter my dormitory without being called?" ”
Guanghan couldn't help but shudder, and he said cautiously: "You will know when you go in, maybe it is really a surprise." ”
Pei Gongcuo's mind flashed, and his eyes suddenly lit up, could it be that Myanmar is back? This thought suddenly made his heart surge, and he didn't say any more, and rushed straight into the hall.
In the dim light, he stood a few steps away from the couch, looking at the slender shadow in the soft gauze tent, and there was a sense of affection.
His heart beat like a drum in his footsteps again, but it was only a few steps, but he seemed to have exhausted all his strength. When he finally walked to the couch and opened the tent to hug the person he was thinking about in his arms, he felt that his hands were like a thousand pounds, and he lifted the gauze tent for a long time.
He couldn't see the face of the person in the tent, but he could only vaguely see a delicate figure with his back to him, a snow-white neck and a lotus root arm exposed outside the thin quilt, and the clothes on his body were thin and exposed, making its owner look quite attractive.
A gust of wind passed, and with the rise and fall of the gauze tent, he was stunned on the spot like a nightmare. This smell, a faint jasmine fragrance, he will not be mistaken, it is the taste of Myanmar. He couldn't believe it was really her lying on his bed at the moment.
All of a sudden, all kinds of tastes hit his heart, at this moment everything no longer exists, only her shadow is left in his eyes, as long as he can embrace her into his arms, even if the sky falls, he can ignore it.
The next moment, he lunged at her, flipped her over, kissed her fiercely, and grabbed all her fragrance.
The person below her was startled by his crazy actions, she looked at the man on her body in astonishment, and called softly in the interval between his breathing: "Your Majesty." ”
This call was like a scoop of cold water poured on his head, and like a lightning bolt suddenly struck his spiritual platform, he suddenly turned over, looked at the woman in front of him and said, "Who are you?" ”
The woman sat up in surprise, stared at Pei Gongcuo and said suspiciously: "The emperor is not hysterical, why can't he even recognize Pin'er?" ”
Pei Gongcuo was like being struck by lightning, and he was dazed for a long time before he said: "How can you have the fragrance of jasmine on your body?" ”
Pin'er was stunned, and his thoughts flew and suddenly realized, so it was, no wonder the changes before and after him would be very different, it turned out that he actually regarded himself as a flower Myanmar.
I'm really sad and ridiculous.
She laughed at herself and said, "It's Pin'er who can't do it, so she went to Shuihua Palace to pick some jasmine flowers and soak them in the bath soup." ”
Pei Gongcuo nodded a little understandingly, he lifted the curtain and got up, and turned to her after a pause: "Don't bathe with jasmine in the future." ”
Seeing that he was leaving, Pin'er was already very hurt in her heart, and when she heard him say such a sentence, she couldn't help but feel resentment in her heart, she grabbed his sleeve and said, "Where is the emperor going?" ”
Pei Yingshi was silent for a moment, then sat back on the bed, as if she had made up her mind: "Can I let you out of the palace?" ”
As soon as the words came out, it was like an arrow piercing her heart, and the pain was even worse than the moment she heard the bad news of Li Sheng's death, and even more so when she learned that Li Sheng was harmed by him. She used to really want to leave the palace, because there were people outside the palace who were worth watching, but now, he destroyed his happiness with his own hands, and kicked him away after provoking himself. How can there be such cruel people in the world?
As if sensing her sudden sadness, he stretched out his arms to take her into his arms and said softly: "It's all my fault, I shouldn't provoke you, after leaving the palace, I will pick a good family for you, and you will be very happy." ”
Tears finally welled up, and she choked up: "It's late, since you provoked me, you will be responsible to the end, otherwise people will carry my body out of the palace." ”
Pei Gongcuo's heart trembled, the strength in his hand couldn't help but tighten, he sighed lightly and said: "If you don't want to leave the palace, I won't force it, no matter when you figure it out in the future, just tell me." ”
"Why?" You've been waiting for more than three years, why do you lose patience after just two months?
"Because I already have someone else in my heart, you are so beautiful, since I can't love you wholeheartedly, it's better to let you go."
The person in her arms didn't make a sound anymore, but the involuntary trembling of her body made Pei Gongcuo frown.
