Chapter 54: Arrangement
Although the empress promised to advise the emperor that day, she did not act.
The concubines saw it in their eyes, but they didn't dare to say anything because of the queen's prestige, but they were secretly dissatisfied in their hearts. Now, whether it is the matter of offering ice, or the matter of the sisters of the Chu family involved in the offering of ice, it has made the entire Jiyue Yaotai gloomy.
And Concubine Yun was lucky again for two days after that day.
It seems to be a kind of strong refusal to admit defeat, Chu Huaxin always doesn't want to mention a sentence like "Please let the emperor wet the rain and dew" when he stood in the main hall of the Kyushu Qing Banquet with gorgeous makeup. She always wondered, what did Concubine Xiang do when she was like this? That woman would never bow down to anyone, including the queen. Three years ago, Concubine Xiang gave birth to Emperor Zhaochun's body with some injuries, and when she was confined, she became hypocritical, and she asked the king to accompany and take care of her day and night. In those months, the emperor even lived in Concubine Xiang's palace......
At the beginning, I couldn't even look at the imperial history, and wrote an excerpt saying that Shangguan's family was the reincarnation of Daji. And finally? In the end, Zhang Yushi was praised by the emperor, but he was later moved out of the Yushitai and driven out of the capital, and transferred to a poor rural area in Shuzhou that was not even accessible as a county magistrate.
Concubine Xiang's favor is still the same, until she has tossed enough by herself and is satisfied, and then she gives the emperor a chance to visit the rest of the people.
Concubine Xiang's reputation is very bad, and the people in the capital feel that she is a disaster when they mention her. It's just that the emperor is diligent in government, even if he is a special favorite, it is impossible to accompany a woman for thirty days a month - at most ten days at most, and the rest of the time is spent sleeping alone in Jianzhang Palace. No matter how excessive Concubine Xiang is, the emperor is a restrained person, and the people of the world have nothing to blame.
But if he is impeached by the imperial history, do you have the courage to do so? Do you have the ability to coax the emperor to dispose of the imperial history? Concubine Yun was a little panicked.
Hua Xin...... What are you thinking? Tuoba Hong leaned close to Chu Huaxin's ear and smelled the fragrance of the goose pear tent on her body.
Chu Huaxin came back to his senses for a moment, and said with a smile: "The concubine is thinking, the emperor seems to be thinner today than a few days ago, and tomorrow the concubine will make a bowl of wolfberry crucian carp soup." ”
"It's still the concubine who is considerate." Tuoba Hong smiled softly: "Sleep." ”
Chu Huaxin's fingers holding the quilt were released. No, you can't push the emperor out yet! Even if he was forced to kneel by that group of women when he went to greet the queen tomorrow, he couldn't give up the emperor's favor...... It's hard to pet once, how can she compete with Concubine Xiang halfway!? The heir is not as good as Concubine Rou having the eldest son, why should she take the concubine position?
At least, at least one child must be left, whether it is his own belly or the belly of Huashang, as long as one person fights for anger. Huashang is also to be held for himself when he is born. Listening to those old mothers who have been married, the child still depends on the skills in the house, and it is not easy to conceive after three days of fishing and two days of drying nets, and it is more certain to be lucky. Just wait another two or three days...... I've been petted for a month, and I'm unlucky not to get pregnant, maybe it's a few more days?
Nothing to say for a night. On the second day, Chu Huaxin really boiled a nourishing soup with his own hands, and came to the Kyushu Qing banquet with the two sisters Tian Liangdi.
However, this time, the palace people in front of the emperor did not directly invite them in, only saying that the emperor had just come down from the early court, and there were still some trivial matters to deal with. Chu Huaxin and his sister had no choice but to wait in the side hall, and when they waited, they heard a woman's voice in the hall.
The two sisters glanced at each other, and they both saw something bad in each other's eyes. Chu Huaxin grabbed his sister's hand and asked, "Can you hear who it is?" If there is no jade chariot outside, it should not be an auspicious concubine, I don't know who has such the ability to steal our limelight. I slept here last night, but I took advantage of the emperor's early court to go back to the palace to make a bowl of soup and come back, and someone took advantage of the situation to enter? ”
The palace of the Kyushu Qingyan is huge, and it is vague to listen with your ears pricked up in the side hall. The two of them couldn't hear what was being said, but they felt that the woman's beautiful voice was very harsh.
Chu Huaxin stomped his feet, stood up indignantly and said, "This palace thought that the emperor was busy with political affairs, so he asked us to come to the side hall and wait...... I don't want to make way for a fox! It was the emperor's diligent palace, and it was not the place where the apse slept, so she dared to break the rules in it! ”
"Eldest sister, you are discouraged." Tian Liangdi persuaded her sister. My sister always likes to call herself this palace in front of her, she understands her sister's thoughts, and she also understands her identity, and she always calls her sister the eldest sister. The way the two sisters get along with each other, outsiders look at each other, and only they know what is inside.
"How can I dissipate my anger, one or two in this palace are going to climb to the head of this palace! Although this place is not the capital, it is also the emperor's study room, what a rule. Declare adultery during the day, she even dares! ”
"Eldest sister, maybe it's not what you think." Tian Liangdi is a woman with a bookish temperament, and when she speaks, she also speaks softly, which makes people feel comfortable: "Our emperor is the Shengming monarch, how can he be fortunate to be a woman in the Qinzheng Palace?" The woman was just speculating with the emperor, saying a few words, serving tea and pouring water. The emperor loves our sisters so much at the moment, and the eldest sister, you are born beautifully, except for Concubine Xiang, no one in the palace can match. Even if there is a fox who seduces the emperor, the emperor will not look down on it......"
Tian Liangdi has been erudite since she was a child, and she has read a lot, but her temperament is not a little bit of a scholar's loftiness - on the contrary, she is very good at bending to meet people, saying beautiful things to coax people, and she has always been smooth in life. In Confucius's view, these are the ways of unproductive villains, but in her opinion, they are necessary ways to survive.
Chu Huaxin is the eldest daughter of the Chu family, and she is the daughter that her father values the most, and her temperament is a little arrogant. Fortunately, she has always listened to her sister's persuasion, and at this time she also suppressed her anger, sat down and said, "You are right." This palace is just talking to you, complaining in front of you, and this palace has to be a sensible person in front of the emperor. She said and sneered: "We'll go in later, let's see who that person is, and this palace doesn't know that I can't get along with her, so I remember her, and I will find a chance to make her unable to turn over in the future." ”
Chu Huashang breathed a sigh of relief slightly.
However, at this moment, the curtain of the side hall was lifted, and a woman with a delicate face dressed in goose-yellow palace dress came in. She was still holding a pineapple food box in her hand, and said to Yun Gui Concubine Fu Yifu: "Concubine please give your concubine Niangniang, and please say hello to the little master Liangdi." ”
Concubine Yun raised her eyes to look at this woman, a trace of disgust appeared on her face, and then she covered it up: "Why did Lin Xiaoyuan come too?" ”
Lin Yuan unhurriedly put the food box on the small table, reached out and stroked a string of agate Yingluo on her neck, and said with a smile: "I heard that your concubine Niangniang is here to deliver food to the emperor today?" The concubines also brought food, but unfortunately Bai Liangdi was talking to the emperor. The concubine couldn't see the emperor, so she had to ask the aunt in front of the palace to wait. ”
Bai's? Chu Huaxin pondered the name in his heart. She looked up at the woman in front of her again, and suddenly laughed: "How do you know that the person inside is the Bai family?" ”
"The concubine is unlucky, she offended Bai Liangdi many times, and she reprimanded her many times......" Lin Yuan said and laughed: "Coming and going, don't concubines recognize her voice." ”
Chu Huaxin listened, and a slight inexplicable smile appeared on his face: "Then it's not the right time for you to come today." Don't say it's you, even the two of us have to wait here, and wait for Bai Liangdi and the emperor inside to finish talking before we can go in. ”
Chu Huaxin didn't like Lin Yuan. A woman who competes with herself for favor is always disgusted when she looks at it; Looking at Lin Yuan's behavior today, Chu Huaxin felt that she was an eyesore. She went to the Kyushu Qing banquet to compete for favor, and even learned to cook meals for the emperor by herself, and I don't know if the cooking skills are on the table! She is no different from the Bai family who laughed with the emperor in the Qinzheng Palace, they are all stumbling blocks on their own road.
When Lin Yuan heard Chu Huaxin say this, she was first surprised: "Your concubine is very favored, how could the emperor not let you in......" Then she covered her mouth in embarrassment, changed the topic and said: "I don't know what Bai Liangdi is talking about, and we are not allowed to go in to see the emperor." The tone was rather mournful.
Concubine Yun listened to the anger in her heart and began to rush up. yes, what the hell matters? She is a favorite these days, and she can cross herself with a Bai clan and let the emperor summon her alone and throw herself in this side hall to wait?
Lin Yuan smiled at the anger on her face, and continued to say to her: "The concubine entered the palace late, but in the past six months, except for Concubine Xiang, I haven't seen any concubine who can stay in the emperor's imperial study for so long. Bai Liangdi was also favored before, and the emperor talked with her so solemnly, and eighty percent would believe what came out of her mouth. Saying that, he lowered his head and fiddled with the corners of his clothes, making a sad look: "The concubine and Bai Liangdi have old grudges, if she arranges the concubine in front of the emperor, how can it be good......"
Chu Huaxin's face suddenly turned pale. Choreography? Now the women of the entire harem are arranging themselves and the Huashang sisters!
Maybe the Bai clan is really slandering! No wonder the emperor didn't allow himself to enter.
Chu Huaxin felt that he couldn't wait any longer. She got up and straightened her clothes, and said to her sister: "This palace is going to see the emperor." ”
"Eldest sister! The emperor said that he can't see you! Chu Huashang hurriedly persuaded her.
"Then we will kneel before the door of the main hall and beg." Chu Huaxin's face was very firm: "Have you forgotten that someone calculated that we were late two days ago?" And because of the ice cubes, the two of us were forced to kneel in the queen's palace to plead guilty. Today, the Bai family and the emperor have a secret talk, and the emperor doesn't see us, so he must be coming for us. This palace can't hide anymore, this palace wants to go in and have a look, and see what kind of ability she has to arrange for us. ”
"Eldest sister!" Chu Huashang couldn't pull his sister at all, and if she pulled it again, she was thrown off her sleeves and brushed away. She secretly hated her eldest sister for being impetuous, and she was about to kneel and beg the emperor recklessly. I hate that I still have to accompany her, my biological mother is lowly, and her only value is to enter the palace to help her eldest sister. If you are alone, you will be hated by your eldest sister, and your aunt will definitely be disposed of by the eldest wife...... No, I still have to follow my eldest sister!
Even if she hits the south wall, she will follow her.
