Chapter 168: Dark Incense Floats
Linqing Palace, which is a little less luxurious than the Huarong Hall of Qi Guifei, is a little more elegant and quiet, but it is very different from the two of them.
Lintai water pavilion, carved fence jade brick, Zhao Shufei sat in the pavilion, in front of her daughter's family rouge things, she picked up bright and gorgeous petals and put them in the medicine jar, and used the medicine pestle to twist it little by little.
Bai Su led Rong Feng in, and slowly retreated, and Concubine Zhao Shu didn't raise her head and said, "Sit down, there is not so much red tape here in this palace." ”
Rong Feng was slightly blessed, and said lightly: "In front of Niangniang, I don't dare to make a mistake." ”
Concubine Zhao Shu's hand moved, raised her eyes, and her eyes were like silk: "You know why this palace deliberately asked Bai Su to take you to the Linqing Palace first when the concubine summoned you." ”
Rong Feng knelt in front of Concubine Zhao Shu, her expression was indifferent, but she was respectful: "The courtiers have no intention of entering the palace. ”
"Heh-" Concubine Zhao Shuwu chuckled softly, put down the medicine pestle in her hand, and then looked at Rong Feng: "You don't want to enter the palace?" So why did you come to the draft? ”
Rong Feng looked at the petals in front of the table, there was a faint fragrance, she used tweezers to pick up another dry and inconspicuous petal and put it in the medicine jar in front of Zhao Shufei: "Forced by the family, power and wealth are just a shackle for me, and the huge palace is a cage, so the courtiers are unwilling." ”
Concubine Zhao Shufei smiled slightly, and stared at Rong Feng carefully: "Shackles, cages, if you let others hear what you say, it will not be too much to punish you for the crime of killing your head." ”
She instead placed the medicine jar and the medicine pestle in front of Rong Feng, and raised her hand slightly to signal her to do it.
Rong Feng lowered his head and grinded it little by little with a medicine pestle: "Don't you think so?" ”
Concubine Zhao Shufei laughed out loud, and looked at Rong Feng's gaze with a little more interest: "This palace thought that you were just a woman who looked a little similar to Emperor Yixian's concubine and was a little smart, but now it seems that you are really different." Even if you don't want to enter the palace, as long as Your Majesty can't let go of Emperor Yixian's concubine for a day, you will have to be locked in this so-called cage for the rest of your life. ”
Rong Feng stared at the bottom of the medicine jar, grinding out a beautiful red, and her eyes moved slightly: "So this is the reason why Niangniang wants to see me in front of the concubine, so that she thinks that I have taken refuge in you." ”
Concubine Zhao raised her hand to reveal a piece of her wrist, the bracelet made of bloodstone lined her skin fair, not at all like a woman who had been born and raised, she gently turned the bracelet, and raised her eyebrows melodiously: "You can take refuge in the palace." But this palace has to remind you that Concubine Qi's overtures to you hide her killing intent against you, and she is the one who wants you to die the most. ”
Her tone became eerie for a moment, and she couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"She is the person who hates Emperor Yixian the most, you look like Emperor Yixian, but she can't wait to crush you to ashes. Now that Rong Wangfu and the third prince are people in the same boat, Concubine Qi has to do a good job of kung fu on the surface, and when she finds an opportunity, she is the first person to send you to see Lord Yama. ”
Concubine Zhao Shu's lips lightly opened: "Only by taking refuge in this palace can you survive." ”
Rong Feng quietly did not have a trace of waves on the ground, as if she was concentrating on twisting rouge, she still said the original sentence: "The courtiers are reluctant to enter the palace." ”
Concubine Zhao Shufei snorted: "But you can't help whether you enter the palace or not." ”
Rong Feng had some doubts in his heart, and slowly raised his head: "Then why did Concubine Niangniang want to win me over, Emperor Yixian was favored back then, Concubine Qi was so jealous, how could Concubine Niangniang think of being kind to me?" ”
Concubine Zhao's eyes sank slightly: "I don't like Emperor Yixian's concubine, but Concubine Qi hates her." ”
She looked at Rong Feng and said, "If it weren't for the fact that you were valued by Your Majesty, your temper would be very good for the heart of this palace, and I want to include you in the prince's mansion of the son of this palace, and allow you a side concubine." ”
Rong Fengrong was not surprised, and saw that the rouge in the medicine jar had been finely twisted, and filtered it again with a strainer before pouring it into the rouge box: "The second prince and the second princess have a deep husband and wife, and no one else should intervene." ”
Concubine Zhao Shufei continued to bewitch: "My son, as the prince, and Ah Yao, as the prince's concubine, should know how to open branches and leaves for the royal family, and how to be obsessed with the love of children." Besides, the second prince is not a person who is heavy on color, and he values Ah Yao even more, where can the concubines in the palace compare to the fish crossing the river in the third prince's mansion. ”
"Coupled with your cool temperament, I think you will definitely be able to get along with A-Yao."
Rong Feng shook his head lightly, his eyes were faint and a little cold, and his voice was slightly hoarse: "I want to marry someone I like, and the courtiers have no such intentions for the second prince." ”
Concubine Zhao Shu said: "When you enter the palace, you are Your Majesty's woman, and your liking can only be Your Majesty." ”
Rong Feng slowly raised his eyes: "Even if she becomes Your Majesty's woman, the courtiers will hide this true heart, and my joy will not be him." ”
Concubine Zhao Shufei was stunned for a moment, this person is really bold, she really dares to say anything, her eyebrows and eyes frowned slightly, and her soft color was dyed with a trace of sadness, she also thought the same way back then, she wanted to marry the person she liked, but unfortunately things are wrong, and she almost forgot who her heart was for back then.
After a long time, Bai Su personally sent Rong Feng out of the Linqing Palace.
And inside the pavilion, a woman walked in softly, and the person who came was the second princess Zhao Qiyao.
Zhao Qiyao's eyebrows and eyes were gentle, supple like silk flowers growing on others, but there was a hint of strength in the depths of her eyes: "Why did the mother concubine test Lord Rong?" ”
Concubine Zhao Shufei's fingertips dotted a little in the rouge made by Rong Feng, and gently twisted it open, with bright color and delicate texture: "The palace has not set off storms for many years, after all, it is boring, if she can really enter the palace, this day will be really interesting." ”
Zhao Qiyao didn't understand a little, looking at Zhao Shufei's eyes, there seemed to be a faint sadness, but she didn't know why.
Concubine Zhao Shufei stared at the rouge on her fingertips and dotted her lips, someone once told her that she was particularly good-looking in a bright dress, not gaudy, but as ostentatious as a little sun, but unfortunately she was not lucky enough to wear a red wedding dress to marry him.
"This palace heard that Cheng'er was in Chaxie's house recently?"
Zhao Qiyao's expression changed slightly, and she lowered her head and said, "A-Yao doesn't know." ”
Zhao Shufei snorted: "You don't have to help him lie to me, tell him to act cleanly, don't be caught." ”
Zhao Qiyao was silent, only to see Zhao Shufei slowly get up and then stand up.
Concubine Zhao Shufei whispered a few words softly in Zhao Qiyao's ear: "If you want to find out what happened to the Xie family back then, then go to check the Qi family and ask who was talking in front of Your Majesty back then." ”
Zhao Qiyao's heart sank, and she restrained her intention to raise her head.
Concubine Zhao walked out of the pavilion, and she couldn't avenge Xie Zhi's revenge, so let someone else do it.
Rong Feng left the Linqing Hall and was invited to the Huarong Palace.
She sat in the hall, but she never saw the figure of Qi Guifei, Yun Xiao followed and knelt behind Rong Feng, quietly glanced at the movements around her, and secretly looked at her master.
I saw Rong Feng shaking his head lightly inaudibly, and then he settled down and sat quietly on his knees.
During this time, Rong Feng didn't ask the palace people when Concubine Qi would see her.
When he was a little tired, he gently closed his eyes, and silently recited the meditation mantra he memorized when he copied the Buddhist scriptures for Mrs. Rong, which was quite the meaning of the old monk's meditation.
However, the palace people in the palace took a few more glances at Rong Feng, such a state of mind, no wonder their mothers were afraid.
About an hour later, Twist Qiu lifted the curtain and walked out and said, "Niangniang is unwell today, and I ask the county lord to come back tomorrow." ”
Rong Feng opened his eyes lightly, glanced at Twist Qiu faintly, and slowly got up without saying a word, holding Yun Xiao's hand, and paused for a while, letting his numb legs ease up.
Before leaving the Huarong Palace, Twist Qiu signaled the palace people to send a box of palace velvet flowers, now Rong Feng is a show girl, jewelry and dresses are unified, if you can get the velvet flower embellishment one or two, but to add a little bit of color, in exchange for others is very happy.
Rong Feng said quietly: "Thank you for the reward." ”
Yun Xiao stepped forward to take it.
Back in Chuxiu Palace, as soon as Rong Feng entered the courtyard, many people's eyes fell on her as if they were nothing, and seeing that Yun Xiao was still holding something in her hand, she could naturally guess that Rong Feng had been rewarded by the noble concubine.
Some people want to come forward to talk, but they are afraid of Rong Feng's identity and the momentum of being unapproachable.
When Rong Feng walked up the steps, she turned around slowly, and her voice was hoarse but enough for the people around her to hear: "You can distribute the velvet flowers sent by the concubine to the other little masters, there are twelve in total, it is first-come, first-served, and the rest don't care." ”
When the surrounding show girls heard this, they were suddenly ready to move, and one of them stepped forward boldly, and naturally more people came to take it behind, and they were naturally happy to get it, and they were so anxious that they took it to their heads.
Luo Yin saw it, but her heart was hot, but she didn't step forward to grab it like other show girls, she looked at Rong Feng coldly, and the woman who lived with her couldn't help but show off to her.
Luo Yin was in a bad mood, grabbed the velvet flower in her hand and wanted to throw it on the ground, Rong Feng saw it and reminded kindly: "This is the velvet flower given by the concubine, Miss Luo has to think clearly." ”
The woman next to her was nervous, and hurriedly grabbed it, and took it away.
Luo Yin snorted: "What is there to be proud of!" ”
Back in the house, Yun Xiao asked, "Why did the girl give the velvet flowers given by the concubine to the other show girls, if she let the concubine know, wouldn't it be troublesome again?" ”
Rong Feng took the pill handed over by Bihua, drank it with warm water and said, "I have already torn my face, what are you afraid of, if others know, they will only be generous." ”
Bihua was a little curious and asked, "Why did that girl go to provoke the girl of the Pingjun Wang family?" ”
Rong Feng raised his eyebrows and said innocently: "I just think she's funny." ”
Bihua smiled, only to feel that her girl's bad taste had come again.
However, at night, a scream from Chu Xiu Palace caused everyone to startle.
There was a lot of noise outside, and someone couldn't help but open the door to see what was going on.
But they were all scolded by Guo Gonggong and closed the door.
