Chapter 199: The Emperor's Provocation
Concubine Li's face was shocked, looking at the handsome face of the Nine Princes who was smiling like a spring sun, but she felt as if she was blowing frost and ice, and the tips of people's hearts trembled.
Ah Jiu, who had been avoiding his gaze, couldn't help but look at him, with curiosity and pondering in his eyes.
What does he want to do?
"Your Majesty, if your brother is not mistaken, according to the laws of our dynasty, those who slander the emperor's relatives will be punished with a hundred rods and exiled for three thousand miles." Shangguan peerless picked the corners of his eyes, smiling wickedly and seductively, and also cunning and wicked.
Concubine Li's expression trembled and her face was shocked. She never expected that the Ninth Prince would openly ask her for blaming her so loudly. The face is a little unbearable, and more panic.
She looked at Shangguan Junye with a pleading look.
"The Emperor's ......"
Shangguan Junye also heard that mean and vicious words just now, but he was troubled by the white tiger, and in the panic and screams of everyone, he forgot about it for a while.
He frowned, his face displeased.
Concubine Li thought that the emperor must have felt unhappy because the Nine Kings openly questioned his concubine.
She had confidence for a while, leaned forward timidly, and explained in a aggrieved and pitiful soft voice: "Your Majesty, the concubine did not intend to slander, and the concubine just listened to folk rumors......"
Shangguan Junye said solemnly: "I know it's a rumor, why do you want to be alarmist in the palace." You are in the position of a noble concubine, but you don't set an example, you can only tell right and wrong, how can you rule the harem for me! ā
Concubine Li's body froze, and she looked at the emperor's condensed face in surprise.
Shangguan Junye didn't look at her, turned straight to Concubine Lan, and said, "In the future, the Six Palaces will be temporarily in charge of you." ā
The other concubines were in an uproar. Concubine Li was even more incredulous!
The emperor handed over the six powers to Concubine Lan so easily! Wouldn't the queen's position be even better for her to win?
"I hope you can fulfill your duties and maintain the ......harmony of the harem," he paused, his eyes suddenly became sharp, and he glanced at the concubines, and said slowly: "I don't want to hear about those harem disputes and chewing tongues. ā
A trace of surprise crossed Concubine Lan's face, and then she was not surprised or pleased, and lowered her head slightly in a dignified manner: "The concubine will definitely live up to the emperor's trust." ā
"As for Concubine Li...... he glanced at Shangguan Peerless, and said slowly: "I will punish you for being grounded for half a month and think about it behind closed doors." ā
Concubine Li clenched the silk silk in her hand and glared at Concubine Lan through gritted teeth. She finally realized that it was no wonder that Concubine Lan had been helping the woman speak, it turned out to be premeditated!
She is now full of remorse. I didn't expect to teach that vixen a lesson, but I lifted Concubine Lan to the throne. She's really lost a big one!
"Does Concubine Li have any opinions?" Shangguan Junye asked in a cold voice.
She was naturally unwilling, but now that she was caught, she could only endure it for the time being.
"The concubine knows her mistake." Her low voice was full of reluctance and resentment.
It's all hurt by that! She's going to settle this account with her!
Shangguan Junye looked at Shangguan peerless again: "Do you have any objections to Brother Jiuwang's punishment of me?" ā
Shangguan Jue smiled: "Brother Chen has no opinion. ā
In this way, it not only fulfilled the original agreement with Concubine Lan, but also made Xiao Jiu'er angry. There is no punishment, and it is more heart-wrenching than losing the rights of the sixth house.
Moreover, Concubine Lan is a smart person, she knows his thoughts, he helped her, she will definitely not embarrass Jiu'er in the palace.
Ah Jiu glanced at Concubine Li, and saw that her expression was as ugly as swallowing dung, and she was so unhappy.
This Concubine Lan helped her everywhere before, and now that she is in charge of the Sixth Palace, her life is much more leisurely. At least, Concubine Li will not put her mind on herself anymore for now.
A few days after Ah Jiu entered the palace, he also heard some things about choosing a queen, and the most promising in the harem were Concubine Li and Concubine Lan, whose maiden families were snobbish and equal.
But this concubine is narrow-minded, can't distinguish between priorities and urgency, regards her as an imaginary enemy, and puts all her thoughts on her.
Ah Jiu raised the corners of her mouth, she was in a good mood, and when she turned her eyes inadvertently, she saw someone staring at her again, her eyes were burning, staring at her heart racing.
Depend on! This has just been explained clearly, you just look at her so widely, are you really not afraid of suspicion?
Ah Jiu stepped back without a trace, blocking someone's view with the bodies of the emperor and Concubine Lan.
A farce was finally under the emperor's verdict, and no one dared to question it anymore.
Seeing that the atmosphere had eased, Situ Yan said loudly: "Your Majesty, ladies and gentlemen, the time to pray for blessings is coming, everyone prepare." ā
Shangguan Junye nodded and asked them all to sit back in their seats. Ah Jiu was about to turn around and sit in an inconspicuous corner, but unexpectedly, the emperor suddenly grabbed her hand.
Ah Jiu was startled, and then turned his head to look at him in confusion.
Shangguan Junye said: "You sit with me." ā
Ah Jiu suddenly felt a little cold on the back of his neck, as if he was being stabbed by a cold eye. She doesn't have to look back, she knows who it is.
Depend on! What's so good about it. She is now the emperor's concubine, and she is upright, and she wants to make herself like cheating on her husband behind her back.
Thinking of this, Ah Jiu held his head high, and put his hand in Shangguan Junye's palm with great confidence.
Shangguan Junye glanced at her, his gaze was soft, and there was a faint smile on his cold face.
The emperor sat in the center, and Concubine Lan and Concubine Xian were on the left and right. Concubine Li sat next to Concubine Lan, and her status was invisibly lowered by a few points, and she was even more angry, but she couldn't do it. From beginning to end, he had a cold face.
Shangguan Jueshi sat next to Ah Jiu. Although the distance was very safe, Ah Jiu still felt like a pins and needles.
What are you afraid of, as long as you don't look at him, just be transparent to him! Ah Jiu hypnotized himself like this in his heart.
The other concubines were the kind of people who saw the wind and steered the rudder, and when they saw that Concubine Li had lost power, they immediately stood on Concubine Lan's side collectively, talking all kinds of flattering words, and they were also very affectionate to Concubine Xian.
Of course, it was not only because she saw that the emperor favored her, but also because she was shown to the Nine Princes. Everyone scrambled to prove it, saying that they had a good relationship with Concubine Xian and had not squeezed her.
In front of the platform, there is a boxy lotus pond. At this time, Situ Yan had already set up a table next to the lotus pond, on which was a lifelike golden dragon with a blood-colored amber bead in its mouth.
Suddenly, dark clouds gathered in all directions in the originally bright sky, as if a dark gray cloth covered the sky, gloomy and gloomy.
Everyone saw that the sky had changed, and they all watched with curiosity.
I saw Situ Yan fiddling in front of the altar for a while, and then took out the beads from the dragon's mouth, held them in his hand, and after a while, he threw the beads into the air.
They all looked up in unison, but saw that the bead seemed to be fixed in mid-air, and then the water in the lotus pond was faintly surging.
They couldn't help but stand up and curiously take a look.
But I saw that the bead was floating in the air, spinning, and then a faint light shot towards Ah Jiu's side.
Immediately afterwards, the water in the lotus pond formed a column of water and rushed towards the bead. The water column constantly swirls and rises in the air, connecting the dark clouds. It was like a dragon falling into the lotus pond from the vastness.
Ah Jiu was amazed, this magical scene was like watching a fantasy movie. For a moment, she seemed to see the dragon descend to earth.
After a while, Situ Yan raised his hand, and the bead seemed to be spiritual, and it was summoned back and fell back into his hands. And the water column also seemed to burst, and the water splashed open, but one by one it fell into the transparent porcelain placed on the table.
Situ Yan picked up the porcelain with water and walked over.
He first came to Shangguan Junye, dipped it in water with a pomelo leaf and sprinkled it on the emperor, and then ordered it in turn.
Ah Jiu asked the emperor: "Is this considered a blessing?" ā
Shangguan Junye smiled and nodded.
Ah Jiu asked again, "Is it really spiritual?" ā
Shangguan Junye said: "Faith is spiritual." ā
When Ah Jiu heard this, he saw that Situ Yan had finished praying for the last concubine, so he raised his voice and shouted: "Daoist Situ, sprinkle me with more holy water." ā
Situ Yan was slightly stunned and looked at her.
Ah Jiu laughed and said, "I have more mildew than others, and I need a lot of purification. ā
Shangguan Junye couldn't help laughing.
"What are you laughing at?" Ah Jiu asked puzzledly. Is there anything funny about this? She's very serious.
The concubines couldn't help but be shocked when they heard her disrespectful tone ask the emperor. But seeing that the emperor didn't care at all, he thought to himself, this concubine is really very favored!
"It's the first time I've heard someone ask for this."
Ah Jiu asked, "Is it strange?" ā
Situ Yan also smiled slightly and said, "Niangniang, there are not many such things. ā
"Really?"
Situ Yan nodded and said with a smile: "Besides, the True Dragon Heavenly Son is by your side, and with the protection of the emperor, it is better than ten million drops of holy water." ā
Ah Jiu didn't think so. The emperor's favor will only attract jealousy and struggle in the harem for her, so that her life will be more unstable.
"Do you really think so?"
Shangguan Junye's deep voice sounded in her ears.
Ah Jiu was stunned and looked at him inexplicably.
Shangguan Junye said: "My favor, will it bring disaster to you?" ā
it! How did the emperor know what she was thinking?
Ah Jiu stared in amazement, and then realized that he had accidentally said what was in his heart again.
She looked annoyed.
Shangguan Junye stared at her deeply and said softly, "I promise you that no matter what happens in the future, I will protect you." ā
Ah Jiu was still in a state of panic at his sudden promise, but suddenly, that handsome face enlarged in front of his eyes. When she was stunned, the warm lip flap was so unabashed, and lightly branded a kiss on her forehead.
Ah Jiu was caught off guard, and his eyes widened in confusion.
There was also an uproar all around, looking at them with different expressions. All kinds of envy, jealousy, hatred!
Concubine Lan pursed her lips lightly, slightly covered her eyes, and hid the gloom and complexity in her eyes, her expression was still calm and indifferent.
Shangguan Jueshi's eyes narrowed slightly, and his face seemed to be covered by a large dark cloud, which was dark and uncertain.
Ah Jiu turned his head almost subconsciously when he came back to his senses. Touching that frightened stare, he swallowed hard at the moment.
"IāI suddenly have some urgency to urinate, so I'll quit first......" she got up in a hurry, and left in a hurry as if fleeing from a disaster.
The crowd was speechless.
This concubine is also subtle in her speech!
