Chapter 123: Equal
Lin Qingzhi fell ill on the second day after her wedding to Yeluhong, perhaps because she sat on the cold ground all night, and the illness was heavy, and she felt hot all over her body, and the world was spinning.
According to the rules of the Khitan royal court, the prince must bring the princess into the palace to meet the king and the concubine within three days after the wedding.
Therefore, she did not agree to Yeluhong's statement, Lin Qingzhi could only dress up as a maid and follow Yeluhong to the carriage to the palace.
Passing through the layers of halls, and arrived at the glorious Beihua Palace, and unlike last time, this time there were two more people in the hall, the woman sitting on the side of the Khitan King Yelu Deguang, wearing a pale pink fur sweater dress, a jeweled but not vulgar, only taking advantage of her noble and delicate, don't think that this is the beautiful woman of the Khitan Palace.
And beside her stood a handsome man about twenty years old, with a six-point appearance, but there was less of a man's spaciousness and more softness in his eyebrows, and he knew that it should be Yelujing who was fighting with Yeluhong for the right to inherit the throne.
And today, Lin Qingzhi was dressed up dazzlingly by the maid Xianglan, covered with pearls and emeralds, which made her more noble and captivating, but she lacked the approachable softness and elegance.
When she followed Yeluhong's footsteps through the solemn avenue and the snow-white stone steps, the palace people and guards beside her all showed their attention, and even Yelu Deguang and Yelujing were amazed when they saw it, and they couldn't help but look at it a few more times, and although the beautiful people on the side were smiling, there were always some incomprehensible emotions in their eyes.
"I heard that Brother Wang met Sister-in-law Wang in the southern country, and I also heard that they are also disciples of Elder Xuanji, and now they are kissing each other, which is really a good thing, and Sister-in-law Wang has an extraordinary temperament and is stunning in the city, Brother Wang is really a blessing." Yelujing said lazily.
"Since Brother Wang envies his brother Qin Se and Ming, if the father doesn't choose a good family affair for Brother Wang, in my opinion, Fan Yuqing's youngest daughter is good, dignified and elegant, and very suitable for Brother Wang's soft and beautiful." Yeluhong said with a smile, but his eyes were as cold as snow.
Although Yelujing is not a concubine, Limeiren's mother's family is also a foreigner, so it is not like the Jade Concubine Hara's family is powerful, but it has also attracted some officials in the court, and Fan Yuqing is the minister of imperial history next to the emperor, but he is only a civil minister, and he does not have a lot of real power, Khitan is a country that values military force and light literature, so it has been able to sweep the northern continent for so many years, and the military ability of the country itself has a lot to do with it.
Although Yelujing's status and power in the prince are second only to Yeluhong, this difference is not a little bit, just because most of the military power of the Khitan State is in the hands of Yelugue, and at present, Yelugue supports Yeluhong's faction, and as for whether he sincerely supports whether he has two hearts, then it is another matter, and in addition to Yelugue, the elder brother of the jade concubine, Halalu, is also very powerful in the army, so in terms of power, Yelujing and Limei are still a lot worse.
After greeting the Khitan King and the Jade Princess, the two walked towards the Jade Hall where the Jade Concubine lived.
The pavilions and pavilions of the jade palace, the carved railing of the water pavilion, are extravagant and gorgeous, and the palace where they can live and be named after the name of the palace they live in, and they have to be inscribed by Yelu Deguang himself, which shows the grace of the Khitan king to the jade concubine.
Along the way, Yeluhong didn't say a word, and walked to the end of the path, among the pavilions, the jade concubine was covered in silk and satin, and the jade gems on her head made her more graceful and luxurious, and when she saw Lin Qingzhi and Yeluhong approaching, she said, "Hong'er, you are here." ”
Concubine Jade completely ignored Lin Qingzhi's existence, her eyes were full of softness and softness, and she could see that she really loved this prince Yeluhong who was not born to her.
"I've kept my mother waiting." Yeluhong looked at the jade concubine and bowed his head respectfully.
Lin Qingzhi didn't speak, just looked at the two of them coldly, Concubine Jade looked sideways, and snorted coldly with a displeased face: "It turns out that I don't know that people in the south are so ignorant of etiquette, you are now Hong'er's princess, and you should also call the palace a concubine." ”
"Say hello to my mother." Lin Qingzhi's legs bent, and the corners of her lips saluted with a smile, but Yeluhong turned her head to look at her in surprise, and the Jade Concubine glanced at her coldly, and then said coldly: "Get up." ”
"Hong'er, this is your favorite hazelnut cake, it was just made by the mother concubine this morning, you can try it." The jade concubine took out a piece of golden hazelnut cake from the plate and handed it to Yeluhong, Yeluhong took it and took a bite, and said with a smile: "The craftsmanship of the mother concubine is still so exquisite, Hong Er has always missed the hazelnut cake made by the mother concubine in the southern country, and now she can finally eat it." Yeluhon said with an innocent smile.
"If you like it, you will often come to the Jade Palace in the future, and the mother concubine will make it for you." The jade concubine smiled dotingly.
"Yes, if the mother is free, I will teach the princess how to make this hazelnut cake, and your grandson should like it in the future."
Hearing Yeluhong's words, a trace of haze flashed on Concubine Jade's face, but then disappeared, how could Lin Qingzhi not know that Yeluhong said this in front of Concubine Jade, with the intention of protecting her, and now everyone in this palace should regard her as a thorn in their eyes, and they want to pull it out as soon as possible.
A small inner eunuch ran in the direction of Tingxie, and when he got closer, he realized that it was the Khitan king who had something important to discuss with the eldest prince Yeluhong, so he called him to go to the Beihua Palace.
"You go first, Hong'er, didn't you ask your mother to teach the princess to make hazelnut cakes, this is not something that can be taught in a while, your princess will stay in the Jade Palace for the time being, and it will not be too late for you to pick her up after you finish the discussion." The Jade Concubine said with a smile.
"Well, then there's Concubine Lao." Yeluhong thought for a moment as if he was not at ease, and then said.
Yeluhong saluted the Jade Concubine and said goodbye with the little inner eunuch, Lin Qingzhi sat on the stone bench covered with a mattress, the breeze blew the flowers and steps on her forehead and swayed, she could feel two sharp rays falling on her, and the sharp mangs were coming from the Jade Concubine.
"Don't think that you can fly up the branches and become a phoenix if you follow Hong'er in the future, you have to remember that your identity is just a captive, don't think about things that you shouldn't get." The voice of the Jade Concubine was deep and powerful.
"Whether I deserve it or not, whether I want it or not, I get it." Lin Qingzhi said quietly.
"It's just a moment of freshness, do you think that's love? Even if it's love, can it last forever? Impossible, no matter how beautiful the face is, there will always be a day when it withers, and no matter how prosperous Jun'en is, there will always be a day when it fades, and the color will fade. Concubine Jade's eyes fell into the distance and said quietly.
"Will the concubine also worry about color decay and relaxation? How long can Israel serve people, so the mother concubine let your brother control the military power, and trained a large number of informants to hide in the palace of the Jin Kingdom, collect information for you and the king, and have the backing of the eldest prince, how can the mother concubine be so worried? Lin Qingzhi said lightly.
"You've only been here for a few days, and you have seen the court and the situation so thoroughly, Mr. Xuanji values you, and there is a reason why you really want to, but it's a pity." The Jade Concubine shook her head and said lightly.
