Chapter 13 Yecheng Palace (1)
All the way to the west to Yongzhou and then north through Jizhou to Xiangzhou, stay to Yecheng, it is the third day of the lunar month. For more than two months, Tuoba Hong went to meet with local officials, observe the people's feelings, and He and He were inseparable, eating and sleeping together, watching the beautiful scenery of mountains and rivers all the way, like ordinary couples, enjoying the happy time together.
The news that the emperor was accompanied by a beautiful woman like a fairy still spread in the Yecheng Palace.
Empress Feng is the niece of the late Empress Dowager and the daughter of Taishi Feng Xi. Although Feng is a generation older, he is a few years younger than him, and he often went in and out of his aunt's palace when he was young, so he has always been affectionate to Tuoba Hong, and now he is his queen, and he is more and more reluctant to other women to occupy the king's heart. When the news reached her ears, she was really taken aback. For many years, Tuoba Hong has never chosen his own harem concubines, all of them were selected by the former Empress Dowager, and since the Empress Dowager was mourned, no newcomers have been added to the harem in three years. What kind of woman should it be, so that the emperor can take it with him and visit Kyushu?
The queen was still thinking about it, and the waiter here came to report that the three treasures of the eunuch were waiting outside the palace.
When Sanbao entered, he bowed to Feng, Feng motioned for him to get up and reply, Sanbao said: "Empress, Your Majesty has just met the King of Xianyang and the Duke of Longxi who came from Luoyang in the main hall, and your Majesty has asked the slave to inform you, and Your Majesty will come to have dinner with you tomorrow."
Feng Shi was resentful in his heart, but he forced a smile and said: "The eunuch has worked hard all the way, and he will go back to rest quickly." ”
Sanbao thanked him and was about to leave, only to hear Feng ask, "Who is driving all the way?" ”
Sanbao knew what the queen asked, but pretended to say: "Back to the queen, they are all entourages appointed by His Majesty." Hearing Sanbao's answer, Feng snorted coldly and asked Sanbao to retreat.
Although Feng has scheming methods, he has been unable to do anything about the Three Treasures for many years. One is that the Three Treasures have grown up with the Holy Driver since he was a child and are close to Tuoba Hong, and the other is that the Three Treasures are sophisticated and tactful, even if he is the queen, he has to let him score three points.
As soon as the three treasures left on the front foot, the noble lady Yuan over there could enter. The third son of the Yuan family, Tuoba Yu, often goes in and out of the queen's bedroom on weekdays, and looks at the queen's horse.
At this moment, the Yuan family entered the inner room, and when he saw the queen's gloomy face, he guessed a few points, so he pretended to persuade him: "Queen, this majesty may have won a newcomer, and he is greedy for joy for a while, you are the queen, and the weight in your majesty's heart is unparalleled." ”
Feng Shi was already like a stalk, and when he heard Yuan say this, he lowered his eyes and looked at her, and said coldly: "You are well-informed." ”
Yuan's face was full of courtesy: "The concubine is the queen of the heart!" ”
Feng snorted coldly: "Don't show loyalty here." After a pause, he continued: "Your Majesty has always attached great importance to state affairs, and has never brought people from the harem to accompany you on a patrol. I really want to see it. ”
Yuan's face also changed at this moment, and after a little thought, he said to Feng: "Empress, you are the master of the harem, and she has to come to see you sooner or later." You might as well get to know her as soon as possible, know yourself and know your opponent, and then you can catch the snake seven inches. ”
Feng snickered and said, "I have already sent someone to inquire, but those who accompanied the car were all selected by the Three Treasures, and if you want to ask something from their mouths, I am afraid it will take some thought." ”
Yuan Shi frowned and said, "Even if the eunuch is clever, it is inevitable that there will be many people. Your Majesty has traveled all the way, and many states and counties have their own people who know about it, waiting for the concubines to go to investigate secretly. ”
Out of the imperial study, Tuoba Hong went straight back to the dormitory. As soon as I arrived at the gate of the palace, I listened to He singing with the piano. "Yi Yan added, and Zi Yizhi. It is advisable to drink alcohol and grow old with children. Qin Se is in the palace, and it is good to be quiet. Knowing the son of the son, he will give it away. Knowing the son's obedience, miscellaneous admiration to ask. Knowing the good of the son, he admires it in return. Tuoba Hong couldn't bear to interrupt, so he stopped, and waited for the sound of the piano to stop before stepping inside.
When the people saw the return of the holy car, they hurriedly knelt down. He approached to change Hong's clothes with his own hands, Hong waved his hand to signal the attendants to retreat, then smiled and hugged He, and asked: "When I returned to the palace, I was busy with state affairs, and I didn't ask you if you were still used to it?" ”
He Jiao smiled: "Where Yuanlang is there, concubines are used to living." ”
Hearing her words, Hong nodded and said, "When I return to the palace, I can no longer accompany you like I patrol Xingzhou County." There is a queen in the harem, and my other concubines, I am afraid that I have wronged you. ”
Seeing that He was silent, Hong continued: "I don't want to give you another dormitory, just to see you every day, so that you don't have to worry." He smiled and nodded silently, only resting his head on Hong's shoulder. At this time, silence is better than sound, and Hong feels pity and love her.
