70. Confession (1)
Emperor Chen's layout in the previous dynasty to lure the snake out of the hole is very effective.
The fluctuations in the harem are also gradually making waves.
Feng Lan has mastered some clues because of the situation, and some powerful forbidden troops are secretly searching. Because of this, Emperor Chen naturally praised Pei Zhenwan.
And the news that the concubines in the Chen Palace were even more surprised was that Emperor Chen actually went to the Xuanming Palace, which had not been set foot in for many years.
I heard that it is because there are a lot of autumn chrysanthemums on the Zichen Palace, such as the purple dragon lying snow, the Yaotai golden phoenix, the jade feather tube, the ancient dragon beard and so on, the flowers are bright and staggered, which makes the Zichen Hall have a lot of fresh breath.
When Emperor Chen often returned, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and he immediately praised him.
Pei Zhenwan smiled gently, He Bao was also shrewd, and pushed the boat down the river: "In the past, Zhaorong loved Qiu Ju the most, and he also liked to put many pots to complement each other. ”
Naturally, such a chrysanthemum feast made Emperor Chen enter the realm of Xuanming Palace.
In Xuanming Palace, Emperor Chen did not stay for a long time, but he walked out in half an hour, and after leaving, the Inner Servant Province sent a lot of chrysanthemums into Xuanming Palace.
Such news became a very lively topic when the concubines gathered in Zhengde Palace.
"Concubine Xian, we haven't been in the palace for a long time, and we don't know much about this Zhaorong Niangniang, I don't know if Concubine Xian Niangniang is familiar with it?"
Liang Jieyu shook the peacock jade handle fan in her hand and asked idly.
Concubine Liu Xian smiled and said, "When I entered the palace, Zhaorong was already pregnant, and she was very gentle and virtuous, and His Majesty also loved her very much at that time." Such a good person to get along with, Your Majesty has been thinking about it well these days, but it is also very good. ”
Empress Xu smiled dignifiedly: "Yes, Shen Zhaorong is also one of the nine concubines, and he has always been knowledgeable. If you sisters who entered the palace late, if you see her in the future, you will naturally think that she is very easy to get along with. This palace is also read, Shen Zhaorong has prayed for the second prince in Xuanming Palace for these years, it is very hard, I just hope that after a while, she will pray for a complete blessing and be with our sisters. ”
The concubines sitting in the hall hurriedly said hypocrisy, only Wei Guifei couldn't help but sneer: "The queen mother is very sincere, since she is so eager, why don't you just deign to invite Shen Zhaorong to come, let's just sit here today and talk about it?" Don't you say you miss it, but you don't think so in your heart? ”
Empress Xu is indeed very stable, in the upper position, she looked at Wei Guifei lightly and said with a smile: "Guifei don't worry, there will naturally be a chance to speak in the future." Speaking of which, the high-ranking concubines in our palace are indeed less moving around on weekdays, Zhaoyi hugging sick, Zhaorong praying for blessings, in the past days, only the concubine you accompanied the palace to work hard, now it's okay, the palace looks at the virtuous concubine, Zhaorong, if Zhaoyi can recover in the future, between these old sisters in our palace, it is a lot more lively than before. ”
The concubines spoke with such gunpowder, and the low-ranking concubines couldn't help but look at each other. Wei Guifei was already very displeased with Emperor Chen's memories of the people of Xuanming Palace, and she couldn't see Queen Xu's sarcasm at this time, so she couldn't help but grit her teeth secretly, and said hatefully: "With the queen's mother, my sister doesn't dare to support the old." ”
Empress Xu smiled faintly, but she was not annoyed or should not. In such a contrast, the generosity of the mother of the country is naturally vividly revealed.
Zhang Meiren glanced at Wei Guifei's secretly angry look, but said slowly: "The concubine heard that Pei Meiren has also been to Xuanming Palace, I wonder if there is a origin that we don't know?" ”
Feeling everyone's gaze, Pei Zhenwan couldn't help but smile and said: "Sister said that I was joking, where do I have a relationship, but I had a dream one night, and I dreamed of a one-year-old child dressed in golden light." woke up and solved a hexagram, and actually said that the second prince was blessed by the gods and Buddhas, so he went to Xuanming Palace to put on a stick of incense. ”
This set of rhetoric had already been thought of when she went there that day, and when she said it today, no one could say a thing or two about this kind of metaphysics, and naturally no one could find anything strange.
The beauty of the partial chapter covered her face with a fan, and said with a little surprise: "Ah, Sister Pei, this is a good blessing, to be able to get the second prince to fall into a dream, isn't it a good sign that my sister has the sign of Lan Meng, the queen, but it is an auspicious omen." ”
Pei Zhenwan had already noticed that there was some jealousy and envy in the gaze cast by her, and it was even more suspicious and dissatisfied in Wei Guifei's eyes. This chapter of beauty knows how to put herself in the public spotlight, but these days, she and Emperor Chen have not slept in the same bed, where is the possibility?
got up and bent her knees, and said: "The queen mother, the concubine is panicked, she wanted to do her best for the second prince, but she really didn't dare to add anything to him, and asked the queen to take a look." ”
Empress Xu glanced at Concubine Wei's expression, but she was a little comfortable in her heart, and raised her hand and said: "Pei Meiren, get up, Zhang Meiren has given birth to a lucky star, and she is also a blessed person, since it is blessed to you, it is also a good thing." In our Chen Palace, there are only three princes now, and I hope that the younger sisters will have more children for His Majesty in the future. ”
Only then did Shi Shiran salute and sit down, everyone gossiped a few words, and Queen Xu sent everyone away.
Before leaving, Empress Xu raised her voice and said: "Pei Meiren, this time the Shangyi Bureau is coming to report the new dance, you know Your Majesty's preferences, stay and take a look with the palace." ”
Originally, Pei Zhenwan was following behind Wei Guifei, but this call had to stop, and after seeing Wei Guifei's slightly displeased look, she bowed on her knees before hurriedly returning to Queen Xu to stand.
Queen Xu kept her, naturally not to watch the dance, but Cheng Zhilan actually came to Zhengde Palace.
"Pei Meiren," Empress Xu sat upright on the throne, "This palace has carefully inquired, you entered the palace this year, and there is no intersection with Xuanming Palace, at this moment, this palace asks you again, why did you go to Xuanming Palace?" ”
Pei Zhenwan looked at Cheng Zhilan who was standing aside, and when she nodded, she knelt down and said: "Hui Niangniang, the concubine is indeed related to the second prince's dream, but there is another reason," looked up at Queen Xu's expression, and said: "I had the honor to dance on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, and when the concubine returned to Zichen Hall with His Majesty, I also noticed that when His Majesty talked about several princes, there were always some regrets. When the concubine thought of Shen Zhaorong and the second prince, she wanted to dispel some thoughts for His Majesty. The concubine speculated in vain and asked the mother to punish her. ”
Empress Xu pondered for a while, and then said, "You get up and talk back." ”
After Pei Zhenwan got up, Queen Xu said again: "This palace left you to speak, not accountability, so don't kneel at every turn." ”
Pei Zhenwan nodded and sat down, and heard Queen Xu say: "Pei Meiren, although this palace is too lazy to pay attention to the people in each palace on weekdays, but Zichen Palace, this palace is not ignorant of nothing. Shen Zhaorong loves chrysanthemums, you have placed a lot of chrysanthemums, which has attracted His Majesty to think of her, and this palace looks at it, you seem to have a deep meaning. ”
"The concubine has heard that Zhaorong of Xuanming Palace is very gentle, since the queen also loves her, why not help Zhaorong get out of the predicament and help the queen mother?"
Empress Xu seemed to hear a satisfactory answer, and couldn't help but glance at Cheng Zhilan, and turned around and said, "You used to serve in Penglai Palace, why do you want to say that Shen Zhaorong is helping the palace today?" This is unreasonable. ”
Pei Zhenwan smiled faintly, raised her head and said: "The queen is in the middle palace, she is the wife of His Majesty, and the concubine is the concubine. ”
