Chapter 221: Temptation (3)
The queen and the nobles walked around the imperial garden for a while before they sat down in the Fubi Pavilion and rested for a while. At this moment, the sun is moving westward, the warm sun looks very red, and when you look up, you can see the crimson sunset in the sky, which is very attractive and reflects the dignified pool water under the single coupon cave stone bridge, flashing with a brilliant light like ruby.
Seeing the beautiful nobleman laughing at the light of the stars, the queen couldn't help but hook the corners of her lips: "This pool wall is carved with a water outlet with a stone pan head, and the pool water is drawn from the moat." Look there, Chu Rong is slim out of the water, swimming fish shuttling, and there is a unique scene. Coupled with the bright red sunset, it looks really chic. And no wonder you'll love it. ”
Mei Guiren turned her head coquettishly and smiled shyly: "The concubine always can't see enough of such a beautiful scenery, even if it's not the first time to see it, but I don't feel extremely fresh and happy when I don't see it once." ”
Glancing up, Mei Guiren found that there were double dragons playing with pearls in the ceiling of the pavilion, and couldn't help but smile sweeter: "It's the first time that the concubine has taken a closer look at this caisson, and she doesn't want it to be the pattern of double dragons playing with pearls, which is lifelike." ”
The queen breathed a sigh of relief, but did not raise her head, her eyes were calm and deep and focused on the bulging abdomen of the Mei nobleman: "The pattern of the double dragon playing with pearls is naturally very good." ”
Hearing that there was something in the queen's words, Mei Guiren couldn't help but smile, and her tone was a little depressed: "But the two dragons are still too eye-catching, such as the noble concubine Niangniang must not be able to rub sand in her eyes!" ”
"He Huan, there are a lot of fish here, you go and get some fish food. It's rare for a noble person to have a mind, and this palace is also very happy. The queen did not accept the words of the nobleman, but instead branched out of the people around her.
Mei Guiren's heart suddenly twitched, as if he was afraid that the queen would push him down. But the face is very well concealed, intimate but coquettish, deferential but not forgetting to be considerate: "Thank you for the queen's kindness, but I bothered the mother to accompany the concubine, Sula always felt very uneasy." ”
The queen smiled inadvertently, as if she didn't pay too much attention to the words of the noble man, but was not worried, and frowned as if she couldn't let go.
"Niangniang, do you have anything on your mind?" Mei Guiren asked obediently and smartly. "I don't know if the concubine is lucky enough to be able to share the worries of the mother."
"It's hard to have this kind of heart." The queen finally spoke: "You entered the palace late, and many things are not clear. Naturally, these things shouldn't have been said in front of you, but right now, you are the only one who can say a few words to this palace. ”
"The concubine is willing to hear about it." The graceful and blessed body of the nobleman is blessed.
The queen smiled kindly, but her eyes were full of bitterness and humiliation: "That An Concubine, who was originally a maid in the palace, served by the side of the palace as early as when she was in the palace." At that time, he was only eleven or twelve years old. In a blink of an eye, she became the emperor's palace concubine...... It's really unpredictable. ”
As soon as these words began, Mei Guiren already knew the queen's intentions. Who can tolerate a minion climbing up to him? The concubines of the past were like this, and today's queens are no exception. Instead of feeling how humiliated the queen was, Mei Guiren aroused the pain in his heart, the most unbearable pain.
"The concubine has not had much contact with Concubine An, and I don't know what it is, but it turns out that she is the queen's mother, your former close maid......" Mei Guiren looked unaware, surprised and unbelievable. It's just that the concubine thought in her heart, no matter how strong the holy family is, she must not forget her identity. ”
The queen saw it in her eyes and listened to it in her ears, and her heart couldn't help but feel a little more comfortable: "You are still empathetic." It is an extremely glorious thing that the slaves and maids trained by the palace themselves can win the emperor's favor. But it's such a hoof that betrays the Lord to seek glory, how can the palace be embarrassed? ”
"Did you find something, mother?" Mei Guiren's vigilant gaze flashed with unease. The turmoil in the harem, if she found out earlier, would not be terrible. But if she didn't notice it at all, it would be too unsettling.
The queen bowed her head, but she was not in a hurry to speak, but weighed it again and again, and asked the noble man: "If you know that the people around you are interested in submitting to the opponent, what should you do?" ”
"Niangniang, are you saying that Concubine An wants to take refuge in Concubine Ru?" Mei Guiren was shocked: "What is this going to do?" Isn't it afraid that I will give birth to my brother in the coming day, and I want to compete with you, so I will make trouble early and come prepared. It's terrible! ”
As she spoke, Mei Guiren couldn't help but shrink her body: "What is the concubine going to do?" Queen Mother, no matter what, we can't let her succeed! ”
"I don't know. But last night, Concubine An somehow went to Yongshou Palace, and when she came out again, she was followed by her cronies like a concubine. clearly knew that the palace couldn't accommodate that hoof, and deliberately wanted to protect her. It's not against Hongu and what's it. The color on his face looked a little better: "Fortunately, there is Sula, you are willing to share your worries with this palace." ”
The queen took a step forward, lowered her head and leaned over to look at the fish in the water, full of melancholy: "The people around the palace stepped on the emperor's dragon bed by stepping on the palace." The film also has to work with the opponent of the palace to plot the life of the palace. I can't swallow this breath. ”
Mei Guiren couldn't stop nodding: "Niangniang and relieved, there is no such cheap thing, the concubine naturally has a way to ......"
"Ahh The queen mother exclaimed, interrupting the words of the nobleman. "Hell, hell...... There are ghosts in the water! ”
"Niangniang, what did you say?" Mei Guiren's face changed dramatically, and he almost couldn't stand still: "Where is the ghost, Niangniang...... Isn't it dazzling? His heart was beating very fast, and he dared to look under the water, but there was nothing but the fish.
When she came back to her senses, Mei Guigui realized that the queen had run away a long way, and because there were no other palace people around, she had no choice but to chase after her: "Niangniang, slow down, wait for the concubine." ”
"It's her, it's her, it's really her, this palace can see it clearly." The queen gasped for breath, and what came to her mind was the scene she had just seen from the water. With such a pale face, such resentful eyes, it seemed that it was too late, and she was about to reach out and pull herself into the water.
"Mother, who did you see?" Mei Guiren's face was not good-looking, his heart was beating fast, and he even felt that his chest was very stuffy and uncomfortable. "Don't scare the concubine, Niangniang, who did you see?"
"Liu Mianmian, it's Liu Mianmian, you can't be wrong." The queen held Mei Guiren's right wrist tightly with both hands, and refused to let go even if she died, and said again and again: "Why did she come to this palace, and it wasn't this palace that killed her." It is clearly like a concubine, and in order to let the noble lady accompany her on the emperor's tour instead of her, the concubine sent her to the cold palace.
But now that she is starving to death in that cold palace, why did she come to this palace to pay for her life? The queen's cold sweat slid down her cheeks, and she couldn't stop talking.
Mei Guiren felt more and more uncomfortable, and her wrists were about to be broken by the queen. "Niangniang, calm down, it's still evening, it's not dark, how can there be ghosts?"
Fortunately, at this time, He Huan returned with the little palace maid, and when he saw such a situation, he couldn't help but hold the queen: "Niangniang, what's wrong with you?" What's going on? Don't scare the slaves. ”
There are more people, and the queen's heart is not trembling so much. "Help the palace to return to the palace, and quickly prepare your shoulders."
"Yes." He Huan hurriedly asked people to lift his shoulders over, and when he turned his head, he saw that Mei Guiren's face was not very good, so he couldn't help but call one of the small palace maids: "Go and call Zijia to send Mei Guiren back to Changchun Palace." ”
Mei Guiren took a few deep breaths before stabilizing his voice: "The concubine is fine, hurry up and send the queen back, and then ask the imperial doctor to take a look." Niangniang was frightened, and she had some heart palpitations, so she must take care of it carefully. ”
"Got it, nobleman." He Huan couldn't stop nodding, and retreated with everyone around the queen.
When Zijia rushed over, Mei Guiren was already sitting on the ground crookedly. "Your honor, what's wrong with you? How can this be, isn't it a walk with the queen? Okay, how can this be? ”
"I'm fine, don't be nervous, is the shoulder coming?" Mei Guiren was much calmer, after all, she didn't see what the queen saw at all. "You go over there and take a closer look, what's wrong!"
"The shoulder will come later." Zi Jia responded with a crying voice, but didn't say anything, and cautiously walked in the direction pointed by Mei Guiren.
"Look underwater, what's there?" Mei Guiren was extremely uneasy, afraid that he would not see it. I am afraid that all this is just a deliberate trick of the queen. She knew that the queen didn't really treat her well, or rather, she suspected that the queen wanted to get rid of herself first.
"Nothing." Zijia looked very carefully at first, but except for the water and fish, she didn't see anything unusual. "Noble, the slave maid should send you back to the palace first, what if you have any mistakes!"
Mei Guiren was still not at ease, and confirmed again: "You really didn't see anything else?" ”
"Naturally, there is no nobleman." Zi Jia couldn't help nodding: "It's just that your face is not very good, and your shoulder has also arrived, let's go back to the palace." Zijia was also very upset in her heart, but she didn't dare to say it. What is this queen mother going to do, knowing that Mei Guiren has a body, she didn't even stay with a palace maid to take care of it.
What if something goes wrong, or is it just the queen's intention?
Thinking about it like this, Zi Jia couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and her heart felt as uncomfortable as if there were thousands of ants gnawing on her. Maybe whoever it is, as long as it can be removed. That's probably what the queen wants!
Le Xi'er immediately reported everything to Concubine Rugui what she saw in the imperial garden.
Pei Shuang finally smiled: "Miss, from this point of view, Concubine An is not untrustworthy!" ”
Ruyue pursed her lips indifferently, smiling: "It may not necessarily be that she is reliable, after all, it is just a temptation." ”
