Chapter 616: The Phoenix Returns to the Nest (3)
Wu Huaxuan's back was cold when he heard this, and he knelt on the ground, only lowering his head.
Although she has retained the identity of Hua Concubine, she is now the most inconspicuous existence in the palace. The queen held a grudge against her, and often sent people to embarrass her, and her former sisters ignored her.
Out of the palace gate, Wu Huaxuan saw Zhou Yan'er and Sun Yuyun behind him, so he deliberately slowed down.
Zhou Yan'er and Sun Yuyun were talking together, and when they saw her pestle not moving in front of her, they said: "Sister, the Queen Mother just rewarded me with a pot of good tea, you go with the palace to eat......"
Sun Yuyun nodded in response, looked at Wu Huaxuan, gently tugged at Zhou Yan'er's sleeve and said, "Sister, look." ”
Zhou Yan'er saw Wu Huaxuan looking over, glanced at her lukewarmly, took Sun Yuyun's hand, and walked straight forward: "What is there to see?" Hua Concubine Niangniang is now a big celebrity in front of the queen's mother! The vision is very high, how can you look at our tea? ”
Wu Huaxuan listened to her cynicism, his face was red and white, not color.
She suddenly broke off the idea of taking the initiative to step forward, turned around, and continued on her own path.
Now that people are looking down on him, he can't practice himself anymore.
Zhou Yan'er glanced at her back coldly, only to hear Xu Yuyun beside her whisper: "Sister Huaxuan, look strange and pitiful......"
"Poor her? She was doing it to herself! Playing tricks and playing with hearts, he ended up lifting a stone and hitting himself in the foot! Deserve! ”
Thinking of her betraying herself, Zhou Yan'er couldn't swallow this breath in her heart.
Sun Yuyun felt that Wu Huaxuan was pitiful, she hadn't seen her for a month, and she seemed to have lost a lot of weight.
"Sister, let's not be angry. It's a good sister to ......"
"Sisters? What kind of sisters are we? Don't always be so stupid, you don't even know when you look back. Zhou Yan'er saw that she still had the leisure to say good things for others, so she stretched out a finger and pointed at her head and said, "You better think more about yourself." ”
Sun Yuyun smiled and dodged: "Sister, don't scare me, with my sister here, who will bully me?" ”
Zhou Yan'er sighed softly when she heard this, only to feel that she was too simple, even if she stayed here for another ten years, it would be difficult to get out.
However, it is better for her to be silly and stay safe.
On this day, my sister came over to play the piano for Meng Xilan.
Shen Dan, as her half serious master, naturally has to accompany her.
My sister's piano skills are not very good, but her intentions really moved Meng Xilan very much.
She beckoned, came over, hugged her and smiled softly: "Good boy, really good boy." ”
Song Qing'er smiled with her eyebrows: "In order to impress the mother, this child has worked a lot. ”
Meng Xilan held her sister's little hand, looked at it carefully, and couldn't help but say: "Poor thing, a good pair of little hands, just like this, there is a scar!" ”
My sister healed the scar and forgot the pain, raised her little face and said: "The queen mother said that only when you suffer hardship can you become a master." You can't be lazy in learning, you must be serious! ”
Meng Xilan was amused by her childish stubbornness, smiled, picked up her little face, and kissed her on the forehead.
The younger sister was satisfied, happily returned to her mother's side, and sat down leaning on her.
Song Qing'er glanced at her and asked her to sit down.
Meng Xilan's gaze fell on Shen Dan's body instead, and she took a few steps forward and said, "These days, you have to serve the emperor again, and you have to teach the princess to learn the piano, which is hard. ”
Shen Dan didn't dare to bear it, and hurriedly knelt down: "This is what a slave should do." ”
Meng Xilan didn't let her kneel and let her get up to speak.
"Why do you have to be so honestly afraid, this palace really feels sorry for you. When you go back, you have to let the hospital treat your body, look at your complexion, it's not as good as before. After saying that, he instructed Baozhu to bring some fresh materials.
"Now you're at your best, don't dress so plain all day. Go back and ask Mama to cut a few clothes for you, you look good, and the emperor is happy to see it. ”
Niangniang's words made Shen Dan's heart warm like a spring breeze.
"Xie Niangniang cares." Shen Dan stood up, took the material with both hands, and thanked him to leave.
After she left, Song Qing'er took a sip of tea and said, "Niangniang really loves Shen Dan." ”
"Because she's sensible." Meng Xilan said lightly: "The people around the emperor, the person who reassures the palace the most, is her." ”
Song Qing'er said in a tone of a passer-by: "Yes, Miss Shen knows the most about the general situation. Serving the emperor wholeheartedly, taking care of his sister is also very attentive. ”
The younger sister was beside her, unable to understand the conversation of the adults, and looked at the snowy scene outside the window with one hand.
Meng Xilan was afraid that she would be bored, so she said, "Sister, let's go out and play." This palace and your mother still have something to say. ”
"Yes......" is what the girl has been waiting for.
"During the time that this palace is not in the palace, have you noticed anything unusual?"
Song Qing'er thought seriously when she heard this: "Speaking of which, there is nothing unusual about it. It's the queen's mother......"
Halfway through the conversation, she stopped talking.
Meng Xilan said lightly: "If you have something to say, it's okay." ”
"Since the queen mother became pregnant, many people have been cut in the palace one after another. According to the concubines, most of these palace people are innocent and punished! Moreover, the concubines also heard that the queen mother loved to lose her temper and scolded the palace maids and eunuchs who served around her at every turn during pregnancy, and her attitude was very bitter. Although the concubine said that she was a person from the past, after hearing this, she couldn't help but shake her head. ”
Meng Xilan said lightly: "The queen's temperament is already arrogant, and this is her first child, it is inevitable." ”
"The mother is really tolerant of the queen." Song Qing'er's tone was slightly puzzled.
"It's not that Hongu is tolerant of her, it's that her place is there. A queen is a queen. ”
Meng Xilan's tolerance of Xie Zhenzhen is out of consideration for the overall situation.
Song Qing'er nodded clearly: "What the mother means, the concubine also understands." It's just that if the queen goes on like this, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get the emperor's favor. ”
Meng Xilan took a sip of tea: "The emperor's heart is not in her, it doesn't matter if she likes less or more." ”
Song Qing'er smiled when she heard this: "What Niangniang said is true." There are many concubines in the harem, but one confidant around the emperor is enough. ”
"Mother, have you thought about it? What if the queen's child is not a prince? ”
Meng Xilan's eyes flashed slightly: "Whether it is a prince or a princess, they are all the emperor's treasures, and they are all the treasures of the palace." ”
After she said this, she looked at Song Qing'er and said, "Look at our sister, how intimate." ”
Speaking of her daughter, Song Qing'er smiled at the corner of her mouth: "Yes, the concubine now feels uncomfortable when she thinks that she will get married in a few years." ”
"It's a matter of time before a woman gets married. However, this palace is also reluctant to let our sister stay for a few more years. ”
Song Qing'er felt a little relieved when she heard this.
As long as there is the favor of the queen mother, my sister's marriage can be regarded as settled.
Three days after Meng Xilan returned to the palace, Gao Fuli entered the palace to meet her.
For most of the past six months, he has been traveling inside and outside the capital, collecting intelligence and information everywhere.
However, Soshoji is not such a quiet place.
In the past six months or so, Gao Fuli has personally interrogated hundreds of people.
"The slave is late, and I hope that the mother will atone for his sins!"
Gao Fuli looked refreshed in a neat official uniform.
Meng Xilan looked at him with a smile: "It's really like not seeing each other for three days." Little Lizi. ”
"This is all the cultivation of the mother, and the minions grind their teeth unforgettable!"
"Okay, how do you say it now, you're also a five-grade Wenchen, don't always call yourself a "minion". Meng Xilan glanced at him meaningfully.
"Slaves don't dare! In front of the mother, the slave will always be the loyal little li. Gao Fuli said in a serious tone.
Meng Xilan picked up the tea bowl and gently scraped the tea leaves with the tea lid. "In the past six months or so, you have been moving a lot outside the palace, but what have you found?"
Gao Fuli replied truthfully: "The tiger was not found, but only pinched a few bed bugs to death!" ”
When Meng Xilan heard this, she suddenly lost her interest in drinking tea. "Don't be too aggressive."
"Slaves have always been very measured."
Meng Xilan asked again: "How is Ansheng's kid lately?" ”
Speaking of him, Gao Fuli raised his head slightly: "Back to Niangniang, Xiao Shengzi is indeed a malleable talent." ”
Meng Xilan's heart moved slightly when she heard this. "So, he's got blood on his hands, too?"
Gao Fuli nodded: "Isn't Niangniang handing him over to the minions, just to let him kill?" Chu Ansheng wants to live in the palace for a long time, his heart is not hard, and his means are not strong, so he is afraid that he will not work. ”
Meng Xilan groaned slightly: "Yes, this palace wants him to become strong." ”
"Niangniang, don't worry." Gao Welfare's tone is firm. "In less than three years, Xiao Shengzi will become the most powerful person around Niangniang."
Meng Xilan raised her eyebrows when she heard this: "The most powerful person around this palace has always been you." ”
Gao Fu lowered his head: "The slave is old, and sooner or later there will be a useless day." ”
When he said this, he deliberately paused slightly: "When the slave is old and useless, the slave just wants to take the ashes of Zhulu, return to his hometown in fine clothes, and be a rich idler." ”
Meng Xilan's heart moved when she heard this, and she looked at him deeply: "This palace promised you." If you want to leave, Hongu will let you go with Zhulu! ”
Gao Fufu smiled contentedly.
The New Year is approaching, and the atmosphere in the palace is lively all of a sudden.
Meng Xilan had no intention of making fun, and still did not forget to take care of Zhou Youchen who was sick every day.
When she brushed his hair, he would mutter, "Lan'er...... Lan'er ......"
Meng Xilan gently agreed, her expression mild.
Coincidentally, Jiao Changqing was also there today, and when he heard Zhou Youchen speak, his expression changed on the spot, and his whole face was gloomy.
After Zhou Youchen fell asleep, Meng Xilan turned around and saw Jiao Changqing's gloomy face, only to feel that his eyes were murderous.
She frowned, looked at him and said, "How are you?" ”
Jiao Changqing looked at her for a long time before asking: "Niangniang, why did you hide this matter from Weichen?" ”
"Hongu doesn't understand what you mean!"
When Jiao Changqing heard this, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes: "The Emperor Taishang speaks, he can still recognize the identity of Niangniang, does Niangniang think it's okay?" ”
He had already turned him into a cripple with a potion, but he had learned to speak again.
Meng Xilan snorted slightly: "Although he can call Bengong's name, he doesn't know who Bengong is!" ”
Jiao Changqing is too sensitive, a person who doesn't even know where the rain in the sky comes from, even if he remembers her name, what can he do?
Who knows, Jiao Changqing suddenly changed color, and said in a stern tone: "Niangniang, don't be too careless!" He stretched out his finger and pointed to the inner sanctum: "That person is the emperor!" ”
Meng Xilan said coldly: "He is the emperor!" From the day the emperor ascended the throne, he was no longer a threat to the palace. He's a wreck, and it's time for us to let him go. ”
Jiao Changqing frowned tightly and lowered his voice: "Niangniang, you are still soft-hearted!" ”
"He is the husband of this palace and the father of the emperor, how can this palace not be soft-hearted? He's a waste now, do you want this palace to kill him all! How Bengu treats him is Bengu's own business! ”
Jiao Changqing approached step by step, looked at her and said, "What is Niangniang's mind, Weichen knows it clearly." ”
Meng Xilan looked up at him: "Since you know, why are you still aggressive?" What do you want Hongu? Do you obey? ”
Her eyes rolled, and her gaze was as sharp as a knife: "Jiao Changqing, this palace respects you and respects you, but you don't forget your own identity!" ”
No matter how great his kindness is to her, she is still his master today!
Jiao Changqing looked at the ruthlessness in her eyes, and almost subconsciously took a step back.
"This palace can't do without you, but not everyone can't do without you! The hospital is already in your hands, and this palace can't give you more! ”
Her words were like a heavy whip, slamming Jiao Changqing's heart hard.
"Wechen understands!" He accentuated his tone and uttered these four words.
He turned around and wanted to leave, but turned back halfway: "Weichen never hopes for things he can't get!" Wechen will never tolerate what he can't tolerate! If one day, the Emperor Taishang recognizes the identity of Niangniang, even if Weichen is cut by a thousand knives, he will do what he should do! What the mother refuses to do, Wechen will do! What those mothers dare not do, Weichen will also do! ”
Meng Xilan straightened her face and clenched her fists.
Jiao Changqing's face was gloomy, and he walked out of the hall, facing Gao Fuli head-on.
"Master Jiao......" Gao Fuli was about to salute him, but who knows, he didn't even stop for a moment, and left with a cold face.
Gao Fuli's face changed slightly, and he watched his back go away, and he muttered for a moment before entering the inner hall.
He came to ask the Emperor Taishang for peace today, but when he saw Jiao Changqing looking like this, and Niangniang's face was not good, he knew that something was happening.
"Niangniang, Master Jiao's face is very scary."
Meng Xilan propped her head with one hand and looked at him with her eyebrows twisted. Gao Fuli took another step forward and said, "Niangniang, the slave reminded you before that Master Jiao is a very terrible person!" ”
His medical skills can harm people invisibly, and his presumptuousness is even more disturbing.
"What about being scary? The palace is now at the time of employing people, and it is inseparable from him......"
Gao Fuli lowered his eyes slightly: "What Niang Niang said is that I can't leave now, it doesn't mean that I can't leave this life and this life!" There are people outside the world, there is heaven outside the sky, and he is not the only person with excellent medical skills! ”
