Volume 1 The Orphan Girl of the Imperial Capital Chapter 142 The Great Net Spreads
Dayongguo's requirements for women are not too harsh, but the royal family is different, especially the emperor who is an example for all the people in the world. The king of Chu has a thin waist, and the palace people are especially starving to death, which is also popular in the Dayong Dynasty.
Therefore, the emperor's conduct, at least the character that has been spread to the ears of the world, must not be stained. And marrying a woman in a green building, it is no longer a stain, but a basin of sewage has been splashed.
Mu Yunlan was also shocked: "Those imperial historians didn't go to the emperor to die? ”
"Why not, I heard that there is an old imperial history who hit the pillar directly."
"What about the emperor? Does he really dare to risk the world's condemnation? ”
"Yes, the slave maid is also very curious, I didn't look like this kind of character when I saw the emperor before, I really don't know what the charm of that Cangxue girl is."
Mu Yunlan lowered her eyes slightly, thinking back to the ice-like beauty, she always felt a little melancholy in her heart: "Let's take a look again, didn't the emperor say that the concubine ceremony will be held in three days, no matter what, there will be results in three days." ”
"Hmm."
The next three days can be said to be the most lively three days in the imperial capital, and the news from the palace changes one after another, which is even more exciting than the drama.
Hundreds of officials knelt outside the palace and begged, hoping that the emperor would change his mind.
Concubine Li embarrassed Mrs. Cangxue and was grounded after being reprimanded by the emperor.
The emperor dismissed six officials from their official positions because they wrote to demand that Madame Cangxue be executed.
Mrs. Cangxue knelt down and begged the emperor to take back her fate, and fainted outside the Lama Palace......
One news after another came out, suppressing the limelight of Wuchen's disregard for his life and asking for warnings from the sky.
Qingque walked in happily again: "Miss, hurry up and choose tomorrow's clothes, you have already made a decision, the emperor insists on accepting a concubine, and you will enter the palace tomorrow to watch the ceremony." ”
"It was an accident." Mu Yunlan originally thought that Yue Jingyun was acting, even if he wasn't acting, it was impossible to really marry a Qinglou woman, but no one expected that he would persist to such an extent.
"Who said it wasn't, after hearing that Mrs. Cangxue fainted in the palace, the emperor was also very distressed, and he was a little shaken, who knew that those imperial histories actually had to inch in, saying that Mrs. Cangxue was a demon queen of the country, and she must be executed, which made the emperor angry, and then had to give her an official title."
"Woe to the country? Heh, those imperial historians' mouths are really mean. ”
"Who says it's not, but the emperor is also tough this time, and he dragged a lot of people out to hit the board."
Mu Yunlan remembered the expression on her father's face when Mrs. Cangxue mentioned her father Mu Zhengmin when they met before, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned: "Actually, that Mrs. Cangxue ......"
"Huh? What happened to Lady Cangxue? Seeing Mu Yunlan stop suddenly, Qingsleeve couldn't help but be curious.
"It's nothing, help me find a plain palace dress, and just mix some of the others with some at will."
"Yes, miss."
The next day, Mu Yunlan came to the palace in a carriage, and there were already officials and female relatives at the gate of the palace entering the palace one after another.
Ning Huanyan's carriage stopped not far away, and when she saw Mu Yunlan getting out of the car, she stepped forward directly and saluted: "I've seen the Lord of Leping." ”
"No courtesy."
"County Lord, I heard that you have been unwell recently, so you should pay attention to rest."
Mu Yunlan's eyebrows moved, and she glanced at her lightly: "I don't know when I'm unwell, why are you so clear?" ”
Ning Huanyan showed a slightly surprised look: "Yes, that's my hearsay, offending the county lord, please forgive me." ”
Hearsay? Who would be idle and talk nonsense about her physical condition? Moreover, it is at this sensitive juncture.
Mu Yunlan subconsciously thought of shaking the light, but after thinking about it, she felt that it was impossible, after all, even if the shaking light had the intention of harming her, she would not publicize her physical condition, and the imperial uncle alone would not spare her.
While thinking about his thoughts, he walked into the palace under the guidance of the palace people.
All parts of the palace are carefully sprinkled and swept over, the flowers and branches are also very neatly trimmed, and many palaces along the road are painted red, which looks particularly festive.
Mu Yunlan looked at it but felt frightened, becoming the emperor's concubine, looking at the status of respect, but in the final analysis, she was also a concubine with someone, and she had to pay attention to the rules and pomp everywhere.
But now that the palace is dressed in red and green, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is marrying the queen.
In the Lama Palace, the people who came to watch the ceremony stood quietly, quite silent.
Mu Yunlan subconsciously looked for Yue Jingxuan, but after looking around, she didn't find him.
"The emperor has arrived!"
Compared with the last time he saw Yue Jingyun, now he has a steady pace and a lofty spirit, and his eyebrows are full of ambition: "Flat." Today is the canonization ceremony of my beloved concubine, I am happy in my heart, and you don't have to be too restrained. ”
"Yes."
As he spoke, more than a dozen palace people opened the way, and Cang Xue, who was wearing a light red palace dress, walked over slowly.
Many people who had never seen her couldn't help but inhale secretly, and even Yue Jingyun's expression was full of amazement.
Her expression was like ice and snow, and she thought she was looking good in plain color, but now, she was dressed in a light red palace dress, like a little proud red plum in the snow, gorgeous and cold suddenly collided on a person, and the effect became more and more moving.
"I've seen the emperor."
Yue Jingyun personally helped her up, looking at her intently, as if she was looking at a precious treasure.
Cang Xue's face also showed a hint of redness, and her faint smile was much more sincere, and she called softly: "Master!" ”
The gentle color that cold people occasionally show is more and more charming, and everyone wants to be the most special one, even Yue Jingyun is inevitably vulgar.
Yue Jingyun laughed, personally took her forward, stood at the gate of the Lama Palace, and did not need Zhaoqing to announce the decree, and said aloud to everyone: "I reward Mrs. Cangxue as a concubine today, and the title is ...... Zhen."
Precious concubine?!
"The emperor can't," some officials couldn't help but stand up, the difference between the word Zhen Concubine and the precious concubine is very different, if it is a concubine, it is just an equal to Concubine Li, Concubine Lan and others, if it is a concubine, there will be an heir in the future, then the status will directly compare the eldest prince with the third prince, "Please think twice." ”
"Your Majesty, Cang Xue was born in the dust, she is too lowly, how can she take the position of a concubine?"
"Lord Zhou is right, the first title is a concubine, which is really something unprecedented in my Dayong Dynasty, don't do it so rashly."
"The woman in the dust, bewitching the saint, her sin should be punished ......"
"Please ask the emperor to decree that the demon concubine ...... killed"
The officials who were originally dispensable to Cangxue's concubine, heard that the emperor was going to directly make her a concubine, and they couldn't help but stand up, and for a while, the pressure rushed towards Cangxue like a mountain.
Yue Jingyun's face was gloomy, and there was anger in his eyes: "You dare to disobey my holy decree? ”
"The ministers don't dare, it's just that the emperor, the heavenly family has no selfish affairs, and the establishment of a noble concubine is even more important, you are so rash, it is really not the ...... of Mingjun"
"Presumptuous, are you accusing me of being a faint king?" Yue Jingyun was furious, and with a wave of his hand, he was about to let people drag the official who was talking down and cut him, but he was held by Cang Xue on the side.
"I followed the emperor, never for status, but also for concubines and maids, as long as I don't despise me in your heart, why bother what others say."
Cang Xue said easily, but her slightly deflected face was embarrassed with all her patience, her eyelashes trembled slightly, although there were no tears, they were as fragile as ice crystals, which made Yue Jingyun's desire to protect instantly skyrocket: "I have made up my mind, no one can change this decision, the canonization ceremony of the concubine, begin!" ”
There were also officials who wanted to cry and shout, but they were dragged down by Yue Jingyun's direct order, and the music sounded, Yue Jingyun accompanied Cang Xue to offer incense and pray for blessings, and then personally handed over the golden book of the concubine to her.
Mu Yunlan looked at Cang Xue quietly, trying to find the slightest hint of pleasure from her, but unfortunately she was too quiet, even if she smiled, it was only on the surface.
After the canonization, it was time for the feast.
Mu Yunlan's status has become higher, and her position is naturally higher, which has aroused the secret jealousy in the hearts of many people, but after seeing Yue Jingyun's thunderous means of cleaning up the officials just now, no one dares to anger him at this time, so they all eat their own things peacefully, which makes her a lot quieter.
Just when everyone was drinking in a dull mood, Yue Jingxuan was late.
"Brother Huang, my brother is late, please forgive me."
Yue Jingyun suppressed the displeasure in his heart: "Why is it so late?" ”
"Naturally, it's to help the precious concubine find a congratulatory gift." Yue Jingxuan said, turned to look behind him, and a couple who looked unusually restrained walked up, and when they saw Yue Jingyun, their legs were weak and they knelt down.
"Son, my son......"
The moment Cang Xue saw them, her face suddenly turned white, and she could barely sit still.
Yue Jingyun hurriedly supported her: "Xue'er, how are you?" They ......"
The woman below cried very sadly: "Son, my mother is sorry for you, I shouldn't have sold you for two taels of silver, my mother regrets it......"
Cang Xue, who was sitting on it, shook her body and fainted directly.
"Imperial Doctor, quickly pass on the Imperial Doctor......"
Yue Jingyun returned to the harem in a panic with Cang Xue in his arms, and everyone present naturally had no idea of continuing to stay, and left the palace one after another.
Mu Yunlan got into the carriage and motioned for Qingsleeve to stop, and after a while, Yue Jingxuan sat up.
"Uncle Huang, you specially found the precious concubine's parents?" Seeing him sit firmly, Mu Yunlan hurriedly asked curiously.
"Hmm." Yue Jingxuan nodded.
"Why do you bother so much, and, looking at that couple, they should be ordinary people, there is nothing special, and there is no impact on the precious concubine and the emperor......"
"There is indeed nothing special about that couple, but the impact on the precious concubine and the emperor is not small."
"How so?" Mu Yunlan was confused.
"That couple is just Cang Xue's adoptive parents, to be precise, they abducted her from the imperial capital when Cang Xue was a child, and later saw that she was beautiful, and had other thoughts, thinking that she would raise her and make good use of it......"
Abducted from the imperial capital? Mu Yunlan keenly discovered the meaning of his words: "Could it be that Cang Xue's identity is not ordinary?" ”
"Smart, she is the daughter of Zhou Gelao."
"Elder Zhou Ge, do you mean Zhou Bo, who tried to protect the emperor's ascension to the throne?"
"Not bad." A hint of coldness flashed in Yue Jingxuan's eyes, Zhou Bo, if it weren't for this person's temporary backlash, Yue Jingyun's forced palace would not have been so smooth at the beginning.
"Uncle Huang, does that precious concubine know her life experience?"
"By now, you should know pretty much that."
Mu Yunlan raised her eyes: "You did it on purpose?" ”
"The more attentive you are now, the more heartache you will have when you lose, and you will be so angry that you lose your mind." Yue Jingxuan's voice was slightly deep, and there seemed to be an attractive whirlpool in his eyes, which made people unable to take their eyes off.
Mu Yunlan blinked, only to feel that an invisible net was slowly spreading, enveloping the entire imperial city.
