Chapter 25: Concubine Yi
Emperor Yin entered the inner hall.
The palace people set up another bed, and there was a table in front of them, presenting a blue luochun before the rain, only seven points hot.
Emerald ice grapes, lychee honey...... There are a lot of ice fruits, candied pastries, and a few game dishes on the table, which are all the Queen Mother's usual favorite foods.
"The queen mother eats so cleanly? Presumably because of the recent heat. ”
The Queen Mother didn't answer, and glanced at Emperor Yin lightly,
"Why did you come all this time?"
Emperor Yin knew that he was not good, so he hurriedly smiled.
"My son watched it for a while, so he was late."
"Humph! You don't deceive me! ”
She sneered and took the jade ice grape handed over by Yingyan.
"I have been clubbing at the gate of the palace for a long time, is it because there is honey at the door, and you can't stick to it? Or is there a ghost in this hall of the mourning family, so scared that you don't dare to come in? ”
Hearing the words "Charm and Spirit", he was frightened, and a shadow hit his heart.
It's just a coincidence......
"The queen mother is serious, don't say these unlucky words."
Perhaps realizing that she had said something wrong, she softened her tone.
"Emperor, eat a trench, grow a wisdom."
"She has been standing in front of the gate of the mourning palace for half a day, no matter how big the sun is, the mourning family will not let her in, and you will know the reason."
"Yes......"
His eyes were hesitant, and his lips twitched twice.
The queen mother was angry, and the son was just thinking,...... The old love was in front, and the son couldn't bear it, so he said a few words, and the queen mother understood that the son was not a ruthless person, and the queen's matter was not conclusive. ”
"Confused!"
The Queen Mother slapped the side of the case heavily, and her face was full of anger in an instant.
"All the evidence points to the cheap maid, the fox tail lily, up and down the palace, except for the flower room, only Canghai Pavilion has ......"
His eyes glared at him, and he asked sharply:
"Even now, do you still want to protect it?"
"No, no...... The queen mother, the son has no such intentions! ”
Ying Yan brought the tea, brushed off the tea foam, and handed it to the master.
She took it and took a sip.
"That's it! The mourning family said that they would leave her a cheap life. ”
The Queen Mother has always known Emperor Yin's personality, and today it was for Concubine Yi, so she won't say more.
"You are now the king of a country, the Zheng family is loyal to you, and Han Duwei has been named a general, you weigh it."
Emperor Yin lowered his head.
"After this incident, my son has woken up, and I ask my mother not to worry."
The Queen Mother was silent for a long time.
"You sit down, the illness is just right, and you don't have to toss your body and bones. The mourners have called you today, but there is something important. ”
"Yes, please tell ...... mother"
"A few days ago, for the sake of your illness and the stability of the court, the mourning family issued an order without authorization to promote a concubine for you, you must also know."
"The person the queen mother said, but Concubine Yi?"
She glanced at her obliquely and said lightly:
"It seems that your head is still very clear when you are sick!"
That look inadvertently fell on Xiao Xiazi behind him.
Xiao Xiazi's heart trembled, and he didn't dare to raise his head again.
Emperor Yin's expression was scornful, and he couldn't see joy or anger.
"The son thinks that Concubine Yi is still young and not in the climate, so the son will be treated as a little sister, and the same Concubine Feng will be treated for seven or eight points, and after two years, the son will stabilize the previous dynasty, and then choose a good family for her in the court, be crowned princess, take care of her life, and do not delay her ......"
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, the Queen Mother immediately threw the lamp and was furious.
"Bastard!"
The crowd knelt down.
"The Queen Mother Rests Her Anger......"
"Do you think the only daughter of the Han Mansion is so easy to manipulate? Raised in the deep boudoir, she grew up with thousands of favors, and now everyone knows that she has been named Concubine Yi, and she is in the emperor's family, you do this, so that the court will look at her, how to treat his Han family? ”
In front of her, he was always so unreasonable.
He should have known that etiquette and human speech, as an emperor, were constraints that he had to face.
In that tone, there was a layer of contempt and mockery.
"As a king, you don't have the heart and vision to do so? The mourning family has really their hearts for many years in vain! ”
Speaking of the back, she became more and more heartbroken.
Everyone persuaded again and again: "The Queen Mother is angry! ”
Emperor Yin didn't dare to speak anymore.
Ying Yan persuaded her on the side, comforted her master, and brought half a cup of ginseng soup.
The air was extremely quiet, and Xiao Xiazi didn't dare to come out.
After a while, she eased up, but her face was flushed, and she didn't go away for a long time.
"You are a little unruly, I am afraid that you will step back from this position, and no one will care about you at the ends of the earth! That's it...... From today on, the affairs of the government and politics will not matter to the mourning family, you can decide for yourself! ”
In the end, she wasn't enough.
"Why don't you ...... Simply reward the mourning family with a piece of white silk, and give it a break to be satisfied! ”
After she finished speaking, the light in the corner of her eyes squinted at his reaction.
"What is the queen mother talking about!"
"Get out!"
"Queen Mother's ......"
"Get out!!"
Emperor Yin raised his legs and strode out.
Outside the Chenyang Palace, the little eunuchs waited for the emperor, and in the midsummer weather, under the shade of the locust tree, it was very cool.
Seeing the emperor from afar, they all greeted him in one go.
"Go back to Huayang Palace!"
Xiao Natsuko trotted all the way behind him, looking flustered.
"Holy ...... This ......"
Of course, he understands the end of willfulness and recklessness!
has lived for more than 20 years, and he only lived willfully once on that day.
Just thinking of the queen and recalling the situation of the mother and son, he hesitated......
Since ancient times, emperors can't help themselves, so don't worry!
He sighed to himself, he had lived in the Yin Palace for many years, envying his father's supreme power and controlling everything for life and death.
"Father, why are you so ruthless?"
"You'll know when you sit in my place."
Kill the courtiers, wipe out the nine clans, let the concubines do evil, and abolish the queen...... Up to this point, he could understand him eight points.
Suppress the urge in your heart.
"Go to Showaden."
Xiao Xiazi's hanging heart finally let go and sang loudly.
"Swing the Showa Palace!"
Speaking of Showaden, this was originally the residence of the abolished Concubine Jiang.
After Concubine Jiang was given the death of the first emperor, Princess Zhiyuan moved out, and the Showa Hall was vacant.
"Jiang's Extinction", "The Ghost Lingers", "The Ghost Howls"......
These words have already spread in the palace, and the palace people have changed their color when they hear it.
Because of the suspicion that this place is unlucky, even if the wood is clear and beautiful, no concubine is willing to come to live.
Until the Queen Mother enshrined Concubine Yi.
"The new emperor Kaiyuan, the past auspiciousness is not counted!"
Who would dare to disobey this?
The inner court was cleaned and rested again.
"Fast, fast, fast...... But it's all good! ”
"Ouch...... You lazy bone, why don't you hurry? ”
"It's a big event that delays Concubine Yi's mother, you dogs, you can't eat and walk around......"
Qian Tongsi hung a sharp voice, pinched his orchid fingers, stomped his thin feet, and was in the middle of a group of people, constantly swaying and urging.
It was only in February of this year that he was promoted to head of the inner court.
Tianchang has a slender face, white and tender, medium stature, walking and swaying, like a pug, no matter what the master says, his face can squeeze out a rich expression.
"As soon as the mourning family saw Qian Tongsi, they were so happy!"
Because of these words, he went from a small eunuch to a soaring position and directly became the head of the inner court.
That's a fat gap!
Just one day later, the vermilion wall and green tiles of the Showa Hall will be renewed, the flowers and trees are thick, because the pond in the west is barren, and send people to dig and tao, open a clear lake, planted with thousands of petals and Tiffle.
"How's the repair?"
A crisp sound sounded behind my ears.
Qian Tongsi looked back and saw that it was the new master, Concubine Yiniang!
"Yo...... Mother, why are you here? It's hot, you rest, the minions are here watching! ”
"Poof!"
Concubine Yi giggled.
"Now, here, here......"
She pointed to the wetland at the edge of the pond, with her hands on her small waist poles, and commanded with emotion.
In that way, it's another Qian Tongsi who is alive!
The minions below couldn't help but smile.
And Qian Tongsi laughed the most.
"Now, go here, sow some cattails, reeds, aquatic irises, red knotweeds, ......"
"Yes...... Mother, what you say, that's what it is! ”
Concubine Yi thought it was very funny.
The decoration in the Showa Hall should be complete, and it was full of brilliance, and it blinded everyone's eyes in an instant.
With the favor of the Queen Mother, Concubine Yi has lived like a fish in water since she entered the palace.
Teluan is close to the Showa Territory.
Yin Jian only felt that the surroundings were cool, the grass was luxuriant, the trees were lush, a hot wind was blowing, and the fragrance on the tip of his nose was bursting.
When approaching the palace gate, I found that the surrounding trees are surrounded, and a blue brick road extends from the palace gate, with flowers on both sides, and the road is in full bloom, not as rich and gorgeous as usual, but there is a wild interest.
"It smells so good!"
As an emperor, he was dyed in the court all day long.
At this moment, I feel a natural stretch and pleasure inside and out.
Quiet but not lonely, lively but not noisy, wide vision and hidden palace doors, it is really a good place!
Emperor Yin slowly raised his hand.
"Stop ......"
"Smack!"
As soon as the words came out, Xiao Xiazi's thin brain belt was taken aback.
"Be quiet!"
Xiao Natsuko covered her sore head and pursed her lips tightly.
"Go back, I'll go in alone."
He paused, then glanced at the minions beside him.
"Go to the inner court and pick up some interesting things and send them, and ...... Send a message to Fengqi Pavilion, and I will go to see the queen later. ”
After saying that, he walked forward alone without looking back.
This place, he is the most familiar with, and he is the most disgusted, he hasn't been here for a long time, and now he has a new person, inside and out, but it is no longer the same as before.
The master of Showa Palace saves trouble and is very good to serve.
So, even with his subordinates, they became lazy.
Before noon, they all gathered on the road to play, or play cards, eat wine, or embroider and chat, laughing, and the sound of the front door was not heard at all.
There was only one janitor.
He has a short body, a young cow with a square face, not very good-looking, but the skin color is delicate, and he often guards the door alone.
At this moment, the little guy was napping on the stone steps under the eaves.
Emperor Yin stood in front of the palace gate, pulled up the copper ring, and buckled it twice.
When the little man heard this, he got up and answered:
"It's coming!"
The moment he opened the door, he was frightened, drowsy, and felt a chill in his back.
"The Emperor...... Emperor! ”
Glancing at the minions on the ground, Emperor Yin didn't say a word and walked away.
Cross the garden and walk through the corridor.
The three words "Showa Palace" are impressive.
Perhaps the weather was hot and dry, and the doors of the temple were wide open, and there was no one around.
"A bunch of dog minions!"
He scolded in a low voice, then slowed down and quietly entered the hall.
On the flower table in the hall, there are several pots of young and vigorous Xiangfei bamboo, vigorous, very eye-catching, there are two jars of lotus flowers on the left and right, the water is bright and clear, when approaching, there are golden koi swimming in the middle.
On the beauty couch inside, a woman is crooked.
Her face is clear and beautiful, the upper half of her body is dressed in a rain-swept azure gauze cicada middle shirt, and the lower half of her body is covered with a Yang Fei-colored brocade orchid pinched gold small jacket, with three thousand black silk on her head, and only a soft bun.
A fair cheek, like a gardenia, is transparent and fragrant.
There was no one in the temple again.
Hearing the sound of the bead curtain trembling, her eyes opened slightly.
"Hmm......"
The sleepy insect was lazy, and his head was groggy, so he thought it was the palace maid who came in with incense and water, turned his head, and turned it in.
He secretly thought it was funny, so he quietly paced to the coffee table by the window, and took a random copy of "Zhuangzi" from the bookcase and looked at it.
The tall trees in the park are chirping, and the hot wind is floating outside.
The silk veil of the window, reflecting the hazy emerald color, sprinkled a mottled wisp in the hall.
Reading under the windfront window, red sleeves add fragrance......
He suddenly remembered someone.
"Jiu'er...... My Nine Sons ......"
Those bright eyes suddenly lost their minds!
The sound of cicadas outside the window was sleepy, and the people who came only sat for half an hour.
He picked up the little wolf howl on the case and left a line on the title page.
"Xiangfei is quiet under the bamboo, and the gardenia is unrecognized."
After putting down the pen, he pressed it with an inkstone, and still walked out of the temple door quietly.
Outside, the heat was rolling.
When he walked to the palace gate, the little guy was still kneeling under the eaves.
"What's your name?"
"If you go back to the emperor, the slave is called Xiao Liuzi."
"Get up, it's rare that you are still loyal to your duties in this palace, so ...... Promote you to the eunuch in charge of Concubine Yi! ”
When the little guy heard this, he was full of joy and kowtowed again and again.
"Minion, Emperor Xie Longen!"
Unexpectedly, as soon as he stepped out of the Showa Palace, Xiao Xiazi hurriedly came.
"What's the matter?"
"Back to the emperor, the queen mother is very happy, but the wind has been too tight recently, and the mother seems to be a little suspicious between her words."
He looked up at the blazing sky and stroked his forehead.
After a long time, he sighed helplessly, closed his eyes and said:
"Let's go...... Look at it. ”
At this moment, Le Yue came in from outside.
Seeing that the emperor was here, she was also startled and knelt down in a panic.
Emperor Yin was full of displeasure, and was about to punish this group of Diao slaves, but he was angry in his heart, and he didn't look at her, and walked away.
"Shh......h
Touching his chest, he let out a long breath.
Le Yue was originally Concubine Yi's maid in marriage, and her needlework skills were very exquisite.
Today, it happened that she made an appointment with Hui'er in Concubine Feng's palace to see the embroidery, and it happened that Concubine Feng Niangniang gave a lot of refreshments to eat, so she was delayed for a while and rushed back to this point.
How do you think that you will meet the emperor coming?
Something suddenly occurred to her.
"......"
Looking at the distant back, her heart "thumped", and she hurried into the hall, and saw that the master was taking a nap, and the palace door was wide open, and there was not even a palace person waiting!
She was in a hurry to get on the fire, found these people, and scolded them all over the place.
Everyone was scolded, all of them were not convinced, and they all ran to Concubine Yi, kneeling in a large area.
"! But it's up to the minions to call the shots! ”
"How many minions are there...... It's pathetic......"
"How old will it be, Miss Leyue will do ...... like this"
"No one is born a minion......"
……
Every word you say to me, half fear, half grievance, whining, crying together.
Concubine Yi's cool and good dreams were completely disturbed.
Rubbing his forehead, he only felt that thousands of flies flew in front of him.
"Okay......"
"That's it!"
"What do you look like, on a hot day? Let's all go down! ”
The mother-in-law surnamed Zhou is nearly fifty years old and is an old man in the palace.
On weekdays, she relied on some qualifications, and she didn't take Leyue, the big palace maid, in her eyes at all, stirring up a few girls around her, and doing things was also a stick in the east and a stick in the west.
Le Yue has followed her master for many years, and her temperament is not strong enough, and she is not easy to tear her face soon after entering the palace.
As a result, Mrs. Zhou was arrogant.
was drunk by the master, and seeing that everyone was silent, this woman was about to come out.
I saw her kneel forward and say with tears in her eyes:
"Niangniang, you are the most merciful, but you have to be sympathetic to the minions, this errand in charge is mine, how can you blink an eye...... was occupied by the dog slave of Xiao Liuzi? This must be his slander in front of the emperor! ”
As she spoke, she leaned back and glared viciously.
In that way, it seems that all the fat will pounce on it.
Xiao Liuzi kowtowed twice and hurriedly defended.
"Niangniang Mingjian, the slave is loyal to his duties, and he has not slandered a star!"
"Fuck your shit!"
Without waiting for the master to speak, Zhou straightened up, spitting stars.
"If it weren't for you calf," she said, turning to the group behind her, "how could the big guy suffer?" ”
"It must be you, chewing the root of your tongue!"
When everyone heard this, they all echoed it.
Concubine Yi was upset by her, and her expression was also sorrowful, and she stared blankly at the Xiang Concubine fan in her hand as if she was out of her body.
"!"
"Huh?"
"Mother, you want to be the master of the old slave!"
With this howl, there was a wail behind her.
"It's the emperor who wants to punish you, what is the matter with this palace?"
"Do you want me to ...... Is this palace going to ask the emperor for mercy? ”
After entering the palace for a long time, she still is not used to it.
No, the woman immediately stretched her neck forward, her eyes shining.
"Also...... It doesn't have to be. ”
Concubine Yi smiled helplessly and remained silent.
She has never liked to be harsh, and she is not used to taking big, but at this moment, she is entangled by this group of slaves.
"Leyue, take them down!"
"Since it is the emperor's will, this palace will not dare to disobey!"
Her face was cold and resolute, and she glanced down, her face expressionless.
"This palace has always been lenient, which has led to today's situation, after you go to Yongxiang, you will be diligent and behave well, and there will always be a day to come out. Reading in our master and servant, Leyue ......"
"The slave is here."
"Twenty taels of silver for each person."
"Yes!"
Le Yue was already extremely angry, and at this moment, she got the master's order, without saying a word, she threw down the silver and immediately drove people out.
"! You're so ruthless! ”
"If you don't save yourself when you die, you will be punished!"
"Insulting my wife...... God......"
The people behind knew that they were at a loss, and they had gained benefits, and they were all silent.
Only that Zhou's mother-in-law, but her mouth was still like a wolf, crying bitterly, tears were falling, so miserable, people were moved when they heard it......
Seeing the opportunity, Xiao Liuzi clamped her shoulders and dragged her down.
That woman has two hundred pounds!
He seemed weak, but when he dragged it up, it didn't take any effort at all, which stunned everyone present.
Day 2.
Qian Tongsi shook his legs and stepped into the door of the Showa Hall again.
"Yo...... ! ”
Perhaps he was punished, his waist pole shook lower than when he first saw him, and his two eyes smiled together, shaking off the dust very flatteringly.
"Father-in-law, this is?"
Concubine Yi still didn't know.
He smiled flatteringly, stepped forward with small steps, and saluted almost on his knees, his voice warm and charming.
A pair of eyes were watery, and they were pitifully aggrieved.
"The emperor punished our family ...... yesterday"
"Niangniang, someone picked it up for you, are you still satisfied?"
Seeing him like this, Concubine Yi couldn't help but smile.
"Father-in-law works hard, let everyone stay."
She glanced at Leyue.
After a little hesitation, Le Yue still took out a heavy purse from her short sleeves.
After checking it, there were a hundred taels.
That flattering face almost bloomed.
"Ouch, thank you!"
