However, thinking about it, the Empress Dowager had some concerns.
"It's just that, the things of the year may no longer be cared about, but the current things may not be investigated, you should let Ah Rong enter the palace early, now that the prince has an accident, Ah Rong will come back at this time, and he will inevitably be suspicious, and if he is with Qin Wanyi, can the emperor not think about it?"
The Empress Dowager put herself in Zhong Jiu's shoes and considered that the time to come back now was not right.
"Queen Mother, in fact, the matter of Ah Jiu and Bangyi has only just begun, and it has not yet reached the point of talking about marriage." Now this is not the point, Zhong Yanfan really doesn't want Sun Wen and Zhong Liushuo to move the topic away and take the right to speak in his own hands, "The queen mother's concern is not unreasonable, but this is not necessarily the wrong time, at this time Ah Jiu came back, but it can prove that Ah Jiu has nothing to do with the prince, how can he, who is far away from Kyoto, cause all this?" ”
However, although it is not directly related to Zhong Jiu this time, it does involve Zhong Jiu and everyone except the Empress Dowager here and now.
"You're right, since you've arrived in Kyoto, if you hide and hide, it's not good to be discovered, it's better to enter the palace openly, so it's better to show up and clarify if you are secretly suspicious, and you won't be wronged by Ah Rong." The Empress Dowager agreed, but she still felt that what Zhong Yanfan said was reasonable.
"That's what Erchen meant." At the end, Zhong Yanfan echoed.
"You sent people to get together, gossiping, going around in circles, could it be that it was for Ah Rong to enter the palace?" The Empress Dowager was keenly aware of something.
"How is it possible, isn't this trying to surprise the imperial grandmother? Reunion, no lack of anyone, no regrets. Moreover, no one would have thought that the queen and the prince would be met at this time, and we didn't want the ninth brother to be caught in the middle. Zhong Liushuo played a dead skin and coquettishly again, doing everything, and now his skin is as thick as a city wall.
"Okay, I don't need to explain, don't the mourning family still understand the intentions of the few of you?" The Empress Dowager said with a smile.
"I know that Grandma Huang will definitely understand us." Zhong Liushuo grinned, pure and harmless like a little sheep.
"You, big and small people, are messing around together." The Empress Dowager was full of helplessness, but the smile on her face was from the heart.
"Queen Mother, Concubine Niangniang and Concubine De Niangniang have come to say goodbye." When the Empress Dowager counted a few of them, the shrill voice of her father-in-law sounded outside the door.
"Just talking about the concubines, they arrived, it's really a coincidence, Xuan, let a few of them come in." The Empress Dowager held Sun Wen's hand and did not let go, but Zhong Liushuo honestly stepped aside and sat down on the chair.
In a moment, the first to come in were Weaving Luo and other palace maids, each of whom stood in the position where they had just left, and Weaving Luo also returned to the side of the Queen Mother.
In the blink of an eye, the noble concubine and the concubine came side by side, each with a personal palace maid behind them, and the other entourages stayed outside the hall.
The concubine was dressed in a purple tunic with a low neck, revealing two exquisite collarbones, wearing a golden hairpin hair ornament on her head, and her eyeliner was slightly elongated, revealing a touch of coldness.
Concubine De was dressed in a brown wide-sleeved palace dress, and a lotus flower was simply embroidered on it, but the workmanship was fine and the petals were lifelike.
When the two approached, when they saw Zhong Yanfan, Sun Wen and Zhong Liushuo, a fierce color flashed in the eyes of the concubine, but they quickly covered up the past, but it was Concubine De, who looked as usual.
"The concubine asks the queen mother for peace."
The concubine and the concubine saluted in unison.
"All are exempt from courtesy, and a seat is given." The Empress Dowager's smile was slightly restrained, and the smile in the corners of her eyes was not as flamboyant.
"It turned out that the sixth brother, the sixth brother and sister and the tenth prince were here, no wonder it was so lively, when the concubine was outside the palace, I heard the laughter of the queen mother." The concubine quipped, with a smile on her face, as if nothing had happened.
Zhong Yanfan and others remained silent.
"Yes, the concubine hasn't heard the queen mother laugh so much for a long time." Concubine De said, although her smile was faint, what she said was what she said, and it was clear at a glance.
"Imperial sister-in-law." Zhong Yanfan sat down and nodded, which can be regarded as a greeting.
"Erchen has seen the concubine and the concubine." Zhong Liushuo stood up and gave the two of them a sloppy salute, and everyone was used to his attitude, and there was no gossip.
Sun Wen was about to get up to salute the concubine and Concubine De, but was stopped by the empress dowager.
"You are all pregnant, so don't salute, they can understand, and they won't be like Afan, who is as knowledgeable as you." The Empress Dowager pulled Sun Wen to continue to sit, although this was said to Sun Wen, and it was Zhong Yanfan who was counted, but it was said to Concubine Guifei and Concubine De.
Zhong Yanfan looked embarrassed.
"Brother and sister are pregnant?"
Concubine Guifei and Concubine De invariably asked again, but the two of them had different looks, one seemed to be asking knowingly, and the other was just curious.
"yes, it's been almost two months." Sun Wen replied with a smile, without a little teeth and claws, she looked like Concubine De, extremely docile and dignified, if she was seen by someone who knew her well, she would be dumbfounded.
Zhong Liushuo had already seen that Sun Wen was all pretending, and in addition to despising it in his heart, his face was still silent.
"Congratulations to my brother and sister." The concubine's voice was a little stiff, and there was a trace of coldness hidden in her eyes.
"Thank you, concubine." Sun Wen also responded with half a catty, smiling but not smiling.
"Yes, the queen mother is going to hug her grandson again, it's really gratifying, these few months, my younger siblings have to be extra careful." Concubine De reminded.
"Thank you, Concubine De." Sun Wen's words of gratitude are real, Concubine De has no intention of harming others, but she has a son who is not in the climate, and she may not be safe in the future.
"Don't worry about this, she is like a big girl going on a sedan chair for the first time." The Empress Dowager smiled, her eyebrows full of doting.
At this moment, Huang Guifei realized that the Empress Dowager had been holding Sun Wen's hand, and the two were sitting side by side, looking very intimate.
The concubine is a clear-eyed person, and the Empress Dowager's move is naturally to bring Sun Wen under her wings, as if to declare to them that Sun Wen is her person.
Although Sun Wen is not in Kyoto all the year round, the Empress Dowager has always favored this daughter-in-law, which makes the concubine a little jealous.
Fortunately, Sun Wen is only Zhong Yanfan's princess, if she is the emperor's concubine, as long as she goes out of this door, she will not want to live in peace.
However, as long as you are still in this palace, don't think about it.
"The body of the mourning family is not as good as before, and now the queen is grounded again, and the mourning family can only rely on the two of you, if Ah Wen is in the palace in the future, you should be a sister-in-law, and you must take good care of the granddaughter of the mourning family for the mourning family, and there can be no mistakes." The Empress Dowager instructed that the weight in her mouth was not light.
"The concubine remembered." Concubine Guifei and Concubine De responded in unison.
The moon is dark and the wind is high, the autumn night is getting colder, and the entire palace looks unusually cold and solemn, and even the air is full of solemnity.
The Purple Smoke Palace shrouded in darkness is the palace of Huang Guifei, and at this moment, the lights are bright.
On the table in the dormitory of the Purple Smoke Palace, there is a full table, silk and satin, jewelry and jade, ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum, everything.
Huang Guifei was preparing for a birthday banquet for a day, and there was a look of tiredness between her eyebrows.
"Niangniang, warm up with a cup of hot tea." Before Huang Guifei sat down, there was a high-grade palace maid with thick eyebrows and big eyes, serving a cup of hot tea, and then gently beating the concubine's shoulder on the side of the concubine.
"What are these?" While drinking tea, the concubine asked the palace maid on duty in the Purple Smoke Palace.
"Hui Niangniang, these things are all sent by the concubines in the palace, and the mother is not there, so the slaves can only accept them temporarily and leave them for the mother to dispose of." One of the palace maids replied.
"These women who see the wind and rudder the rudder, now see that the queen is in trouble, and the palace is favored, and they are busy currying favor with the palace. Huang Guifei glanced at the table full of rare treasures, she was not interested at all, and her voice was cold.
"How could Niangniang be in trouble, I can't say this." The palace maid who pounded her shoulder said.
"That's right, this palace will definitely not be as stupid and ignorant as the queen, doing things and dealing with people, and ending up like this." Huang Guifei sneered, "Xia He." ”
"The slave is here." The palace maid, who was beating Huang Guifei's shoulder, responded.
"Clean up all these things, don't be an eyesore in front of this palace, here in this palace, are there still any lack of these vulgar and cheap things, things that have been used by others, this palace is not rare." Huang Guifei didn't look at the treasures on the table, and looked disgusted.
"Yes, sissy." Xia He said to the palace maid on duty, "You guys, move all the things on the table and put them in the storage warehouse." ”
"Yes, Sister Xiahe." As she spoke, the palace maids on duty stepped forward to carry the treasures on the table, and it took them five times to remove all the things on the table.
"It's over, Niangniang is going to rest, you go get some warm water." While giving orders, Xia He took off the heavy hair ornaments on the concubine's head, all of which were gold carved gold hairpins, all of which were taken off, large and small, with a total of six.
With the warm water that came, Huang Guifei took off her makeup, and under Xia He's service, she took off her coat and only wore a purple nightgown, which hung naturally with green silk, and sat on the spacious bed.
"You two, put down the veil." Xia He ordered the palace maid standing beside the bed.
After the gauze tent on the bed was put down, Xia He dimmed the glazed palace lamp in the dormitory, and suddenly, the entire dormitory seemed quiet and tranquil.
"Mother, please rest." Xia He bowed down and said, through the gauze tent, the two exchanged a look, and she led the palace maids to retreat.
In the dead of night, after half an hour, a figure was reflected outside the door of the dormitory.
In the blink of an eye, the door of the dormitory was slowly pushed open, and one person came in, it was Xia He.
I could hear the sound of the door opening and closing, and on the bed covered by the gauze tent, he slowly sat up and lifted the gauze tent, revealing a cold-eyed face, without the slightest sleepiness.
When Xia He brought the glazed palace lamp from the table to the side of the bed, Huang Guifei had already gotten out of bed, put on her shoes, and put on a black cloak that had already hung on the side of the bed.
"Mother's ......"
"Bring the lantern closer." At the same time as Huang Guifei ordered, she was already squatting at the head of the bed.
The faint palace lamp shone on everything beside the bed, and also on the carved lines along the bed.
The edge of the head of the bed is carved with auspicious clouds, an auspicious cloud, there are three protrusions, Huang Guifei lightly pressed the protrusion in the middle, and a long black hole appeared on the ground one foot away from the shoes placed in front of the bed.
As soon as the palace lights shine, the neat steps are faintly visible below, but they are bottomless.
"You are guarding here, if there is any news, inform the palace." Huang Guifei explained, took the palace lamp in Xia He's hand, and soon disappeared on the ground.
Under the light of the palace lamp, Huang Guifei silently walked down a dozen or so high stone stairs.
Below the dormitory, there is a large stone room, the stone room is dark, there is no window, and it is filled with an unpleasant smell, mixed with a smell of medicine.
Although the stone room is simple, it is like a bedroom, with a small bed in it and some food items next to it.
At this moment, on the small bed, there is a person lying still.
Huang Guifei placed the palace lamp at the head of the small bed, and the light fell on the lying person.
The lying man was a man in his twenties, with a handsome face, but it looked a little vicissitudes, and there were several deep and shallow scars on his face, not like new injuries, but had become scars, which could never be removed, and he lay motionless, as if asleep.
"Emperor." Huang Guifei sat next to the small bed, looking at the man on the bed, revealing a face full of pain, she called softly, and the man on the bed woke up immediately, a pair of eyes, bursting out of awe-inspiring eyes, thick hatred.
"Mother, what's going on outside?" Zhong Jichao's face was expressionless, and the scars on his face, lined with his eyes without a little temperature, looked extremely hideous.
"According to your meaning, this palace has invited Sun Wen into the palace, and she has not refused, let alone dared to refuse, today this palace saw Zhong Yanfan and them in Yining Palace." Huang Guifei said.
"That's good, I'm afraid that they won't come, even if the imperial grandmother takes care of them, they can't change anything." Zhong Jichao sneered.
"Sun Wen has already entered the palace, and Zhong Liushuo has also come, but he hasn't met Fan Yefeng yet, let alone Zhong Rong, and he hasn't seen Qin Wanyi yet." Huang Guifei listed them one by one, as if she clearly knew who it was that caused her son to be lying on the bed now, half paralyzed.
Zhong Rong has already stood up, but her son has ended up like this, she will definitely not give up.
"They will definitely appear, and when Zhong Yanfan and them fall into the trap one by one and have an accident, they will definitely be unable to hold their breath, especially Zhong Rong. This time, it was I who despised Zhong Rong to end up like this, he is no longer the cripple, he is more ruthless and desperate than me. Zhong Jichao's hatred for Zhong Rong has gone deep into the bone marrow, if it weren't for Zhong Rong's appearance, he would have taken a step closer to the throne, however, it was because of Zhong Rong that he shattered his ambitions in this life, all his efforts over the years, all his operations, all of them came to naught overnight, even if they lived, it was better to die, "In their lives, they don't think about it, the pain they put on me, I must return them twice and make them pay a painful price, otherwise, it will be difficult to eliminate the hatred in my heart." ”
