Chapter 45: Gonghua Rhetoric
Jing Yi squinted a pair of bright eyes, and a fierce color flashed in her eyes: "Take Xun Zhi down and teach her what the rules are!" ”
Zhu Sinong smiled, a sneer flashed on his charming and bewitching face, and he waved his hand to the eunuch behind him and said, "Let's take people down and hit fifty boards first." ”
When the eunuch heard this, he immediately stepped forward and wanted to escort Xun Xuan away.
The people in Anfu were so frightened that they didn't dare to say a word, but An Xinyue finally mustered up the courage and just wanted to raise her head to say something, but Xun Xuan on the side secretly pulled the corner of her clothes.
An Xinyue looked at Xun Xuan with some feeling, only to see Xun Xuan looking at her silently, shaking her head silently, and signaling her not to make a sound.
An Xinyue looked at Xun Xuan worriedly, at a loss for a while.
Xun Xuan raised her head, looked at Jing Yi unhurriedly, and asked in a deep voice, "May I ask the emperor, what mistake did the people's daughter make?" ”
Jing Yi didn't raise his eyelids, knelt in front of the empress dowager's spiritual seat with his eyes closed, and asked lightly: "What day is today?" ”
Xun Xuan said without hesitation: "The first queen mother will live a long life." ”
"Even if you are the first queen mother, you also have the courage to wear red?" Zhu Sinong preemptively took the blame.
Xun Xuan lowered her eyes and didn't speak, and the eunuch had already escorted her and walked towards the door.
Xun Xuan was forced to get up, and when she walked past Jing Yi, she suddenly heard a "pop", and a book fell from Xun Xuan's body and landed right at Jing Yi's feet.
Jing Yi opened his eyes and looked down at the book with the three big characters "Gonghua Ci", and a little melancholy flashed in his eyes.
"Stop!" Jing Yi suddenly called out to the eunuch.
Xun Xuan stopped in place, and was forced to kneel on the ground by the eunuch.
Jing Yi lowered his body, stretched out his hand to pick up the books on the ground, turned two pages intently, a little stunned flashed in his eyes, he hurriedly pounced in front of Xun Xuan, and dragged her whole person up from the ground.
"Why did you have this book?" Jing Yi squinted her eyes and stared at the girl with a calm face in front of her without blinking.
Xun Xuan looked at Jing Yi innocently and said, "This book can be found in any shop that sells books on the street, and this book ...... Is there something wrong? ”
"Palace Flowers" is the Empress Dowager's favorite collection of poems when she was alive, it is a book dedicated to describing the beautiful scenery of the court, most of the poems are prosperous and rich, catchy to read, and the style of writing is magnificent.
Jing Yi looked at Xun Xuan coldly, as if he didn't believe what she said, he asked, "Can you explain to me, why do you have a commentary on the handwriting of the Empress Dowager in your book?" The words of these commentaries are exactly the same as the one in Cining Palace? ”
Xun Xuan raised her eyes slightly, there was no fear in her eyes, and her straight waist was more like a question to Jing Yi: "The emperor forgot, I am the sister of the Empress Dowager, what is the problem with my sister?" ”
Jing Yi squinted, sneered, and held the book in front of Xun Xuan: "You mean to say that the commentary on this book was written by you yourself?" ”
Xun Xuan looked at Jing Yi with a smile, and asked unhurriedly, "Otherwise?" ”
Jing Yi chuckled lightly, with a sneer on her face: "Impossible, how can you know what she is thinking?" ”
"Why doesn't the emperor believe it? Not only do I know that my sister likes "Palace Flowers" the most, but I also know that my sister likes to be bustling and lively on weekdays, and loves to go to the imperial garden to enjoy the flowers, and even embroiders a few gorgeous peonies on the clothes she usually wears. Xun Xuan said word by word, slowly and logically.
Jing Yi moved the corners of his mouth, and wanted to pull out a sneer, but the moment he saw Xun Xuan in a blink of an eye, he couldn't laugh.
Xun Xuan saw that Jing Yi didn't speak, and no one around her dared to speak for a while, so she continued to say slowly: "The emperor said that the people's daughter doesn't understand the rules, please forgive the people's daughter for saying a rash word, in fact, the emperor doesn't understand the queen mother's sister." ”
"Presumptuous! Do you dare to count the emperor like this? Zhu Sinong shouted angrily at Xun Xuan, and then said softly to Jing Yi, "Your Majesty, this girl is really unruly, let's leave it to the concubine to discipline." ”
"No, let her continue." Jing Yi pushed Zhu Sinong away expressionlessly, walked up to Xun Xuan, and stared at her with cold eyes, "Xun Zhi, say everything you want to say word for word!" ”
"Looking back at the tall building and hearing the laughter, leaning on the railing and rolling the light yarn with red sleeves." Xun Xuan finished reading a poem slowly, and looked at Jing Yi lightly.
Jing Yi's pupils contracted in an instant, and her thin lips pursed even tighter.
Xun Xuan whispered: "My sister began to love wearing red clothes because of this poem, and today is her dead life, I am my sister wearing this red dress to worship, Ah Zhi thinks my sister will like it." ”
Jing Yi's tense white face was gloomy and terrifying at that moment, but in the next moment, the young Tianzi suddenly stretched his eyebrows and eyes, and a white and handsome face once again regained its previous clarity.
"Good...... You can say that again! Jing Yi clapped his hands and looked at Xun Xuan with an approving face, "Sure enough, it's the queen mother's own sister, she is really smart and clever." ”
Zhu Sinong glared at Xun Xuan coldly, the jealousy in her eyes flashed, she hurriedly walked to Jing Yi's side with a smile, and said coquettishly: "But the emperor ...... Let her say that she broke the sky, didn't this Xun Zhi still break the rules? Since the rules are broken, then it should be punished! ”
"Concubine Ai is right, she should be punished!" Jing Yi took over Zhu Sinong's words and continued, "I remember, next year will be the triennial show girl entering the palace? ”
Zhu Sinong was slightly stunned, and a vague sense of foreboding passed through her heart, but the emperor was still waiting for her to reply, she couldn't think so much for the time being, so she could only stubbornly say: "That's true!" ”
Jing Yi nodded slightly when he heard this, and said, "I want to see Xun Zhi among the new show girls next year." ”
Zhu Sinong frowned, and looked at Jing Yi incredulously: "Your Majesty, today is the life of the first queen mother, it is better to discuss this matter later." ”
"I'm talking to you, you're ...... Deaf? Jing Yi's handsome face suddenly flashed a trace of hideousness, fleeting.
But even if it was just for a moment, Zhu Sinong was a close person who had been by Jing Yi's side for so long, and she could feel the undoubted oppression from the other party.
Zhu Sinong gritted his teeth, and finally responded: "The emperor can rest assured, the concubine remembers." ”
As soon as the Liu family on the side heard about this, the whole person couldn't sit still, it was already a headache to have a peace of mind month, and now the emperor actually appointed Xun Zhi to enter the palace, if Xun Zhi entered the palace with such a means, wouldn't it be to block An Xuehan's way?
This is something that the Liu clan absolutely cannot allow.
After thinking about it, the Liu family was under tremendous pressure and ignored An Sheng's dissuasion, and hurriedly said: "Back to the emperor, Ah Zhi is the cousin of our Anfu, if you want to enter the palace in the name of our Anfu, I'm afraid it will be ...... There are many inconveniences. ”
Jing Yi didn't feel annoyed by Liu's interjection, but said patiently: "I know that you have two concubines in Anfu, don't worry, Xun Zhi's quota is extra, and it will not occupy the original quota of your Anfu." ”
What the? The emperor actually wants to set such a precedent for this dead girl? The emperor shouldn't be stunned, right? What's so special about this dead girl? Let the emperor see him like this?
Liu gritted his teeth angrily, originally wanted the emperor to remove Xun Zhi's quota, but he didn't expect to make her grow her face again!
The Liu family had no choice, and he didn't dare to contradict the emperor, so he could only smile and come down, and at the same time pushed An Xuehan beside him with his hand: "Your Majesty, this is Xun Zhi's cousin, and she is also among the new show girls next year, Xuehan...... Why don't you meet the emperor soon? ”
"The people's daughter sees the emperor!" An Xuehan's face immediately flashed with a touch of shyness, and she whispered softly.
"Well, no need to be polite!" Jing Yi didn't even glance at An Xuehan, and reached out and pinched her eyebrows a little tiredly, "I'm a little tired, let's go rest for a while!" ”
Zhu Sinong turned around and instructed the superintendent to urge the monks to continue chanting, while he followed Jing Yi and left the Buddhist hall temporarily.
A ritual was not finished until evening, and because it was getting late, everyone rested at Yungui Temple.
Xun Xuan was dizzy on her knees, and when she came out of the Buddhist hall, she happened to bump into An Xuehan and Liu, who were waiting at the door and had not left.
At this moment, the rest of the people have almost gone, and Liu's ugly face is finally revealed.
"Xun Zhi, Xun Zhi, you are really a wolf-hearted thing, you actually took advantage of the east wind of our Anfu to fly on the branches and become a phoenix?" Liu snorted sharply, his eyes full of disdain.
Xun Xuan sneered, staring at the mother and daughter with cold eyes: "Today is my sister's longevity, why did it become the east wind of my Anfu?" Didn't the second aunt feel unconscionable when she said this? ”
"Are you embarrassed? If you hadn't deliberately put on a red dress to attract the emperor's attention today, would the emperor have thought of letting you enter the palace? I see you clearly had bad intentions from the beginning! "An Xuehan hates Xun Xuan very much, if it weren't for her, An Xuehan wouldn't be so ugly today, making the emperor so contemptuous, and causing such a big joke in front of so many ministers of civil and military affairs.
"The emperor can't see the second cousin, what does this matter to me? I'm not an old man, so I can't pull the red line. Xun Xuan mocked half-jokingly.
Liu's face was hideous, and his graceful face no longer had the gentle and virtuous lady of the past: "Pay attention to what you say, she is your second cousin!" ”
"Attention?" Xun Xuan sneered, twisted the big red sleeves, and the bright face on the lining became more and more dazzling, "Wait until the emperor is willing to look at her more, it's not too late to pay attention!" ”
"You ......" Liu was so angry that he almost couldn't help but hit someone, but he was stopped by An Xuehan.
Although An Xuehan didn't feel good in her heart, she also knew that now Xun Zhi was relying on the Empress Dowager to support her, and the emperor looked at her differently, and the conflict between the two sides at this moment was too bad for her and the Liu family.
"Xun Zhi, you remember for me what you humiliated me today!" An Xuehan threw down a sentence, and then pulled Liu Shi to turn around and leave.
The sneer on the corner of Xun Xuan's mouth gradually converged, and she turned around and walked in another direction.
When Xun Xuan's figure disappeared, two figures, a man and a woman, came out of the corner, the man was handsome and cold, and the woman was noble and charming.
"I said that it was good, why was she in such a hurry to withdraw from the marriage, it turned out that she had bad intentions towards the emperor a long time ago! Sister, you have to be careful of this woman. Zhu Zixuan said.
"Xun Zhi is a threat, find time to get rid of her for me!" Zhu Sinong finished speaking without blinking, turned around and dragged the noble and gorgeous long skirt, and left slowly.
