Chapter 59: The Sorrowful Emperor
All the concubines stood up and lined up in two rows, and after Queen Zhu, who was wearing a phoenix robe and a phoenix crown, sat down firmly on the phoenix throne, they all bowed down, "The concubines see the queen's mother, the mother is a thousand years old, a thousand years old." ”
Empress Zhu's voice was slightly colder than before, and she was no longer polite, so she raised her hand directly and said, "Get up and sit down." ”
The concubines got up and sat down one after another.
After the palace maids changed the tea cups, Empress Zhu frowned, raised her right hand and coughed lightly twice in front of her mouth with a wide sleeve.
Concubine Rou's face showed concern, leaned slightly in the direction of Queen Zhu, and said, "Sister, but you are not feeling well?" ”
Empress Zhu didn't put down her right arm, took the plain white handkerchief handed over by Mama Liu behind her with her left hand, wiped the corner of her lips and lowered her right arm, then stretched her brows, and replied to Concubine Rou with a warm smile on her face, "It's nothing, I caught a cold on the moon viewing platform last night, and I had a little cough." ”
Concubine Rou said again, "Sister take care of the phoenix body, but the imperial doctor has been passed on?" ”
Empress Zhu shook her head lightly and said, "Last night, the emperor asked the imperial doctor to pass on, but why is the body of this palace so delicate?" But ......" Before Empress Zhu could speak, she coughed lightly again, and only stopped when her cheeks were red, and she covered her chest and said, "But this palace is always coughing and coughing, which really delays the emperor's rest......"
Empress Zhu said that there was already no suspicion of three hundred taels of silver here, although the concubines all said that the queen should take care of the phoenix body, but what they thought in their hearts was another matter.
Concubine Ying was wearing a turquoise emerald smoke shirt, a skirt with scattered flowers, water mist and green grass, and a three-foot-long shawl woven with gold thread. The head is tied in a loose bun, the tender beaded hairpin is in the ear, and the whole person looks three points lazy and seven points appropriate.
After listening to Empress Zhu's words, Concubine Ying's beautiful eyes turned, and she smiled when she opened her mouth, "It's still the queen's mother who feels sorry for the emperor, and the queen is really a model for the concubines to learn." ”
Empress Zhu turned her body to Concubine Ying and said with a smile, "Concubine Ying will say something good to please the palace." As he spoke, he sat upright, looked at the concubines sitting in the Weiyang Palace, and said, "You don't need to learn the palace everywhere, as long as you follow the rules of the palace, follow the ancestral system, and live in harmony, and do your best for the emperor, the palace will be content." ”
The concubines stood up and said, "Follow the teachings of the queen!" ”
After Empress Zhu asked the concubines to sit down again, Empress Zhu picked up the teacup beside her and took a bite, glanced at the concubines and said, "Why don't you see the beauty of the warbler?" Concubine! ”
Concubine Xian wore a dark purple skirt with a waist-cinching waist, and a few hibiscus were sporadically painted on the skirt. The head is tied with the Changgong bun, and a few blooming hibiscus are obliquely hairpinned, and when Ying Ying bows down, his waist is slender, and he does not hold it.
Concubine Xian has been worried about the Lingxi who has not yet arrived since she entered the Weiyang Palace, and when the queen asked, she quickly stood up and gave a blessing, "The concubine is here." ”
"Is the warbler sick? How about the future? Queen Zhu coughed lightly twice as she spoke, her eyebrows and eyes were full of concern for the beauty of the warbler.
The concubine was blessed with a bow, but she didn't dare to get up, hesitating in her heart how to answer.
Concubine Cao was still angry in her heart and humiliated her with the concubine together, and at this time, she was even more disgusted when she saw her mother sitting on the concubine seat, and she glanced at the concubine with disgust and said coldly, "What is there to think about, isn't it just that I was summoned to the Ganlu Hall last night?" ”
Concubine Xian raised her eyes and looked at Empress Zhu's face, and saw that Empress Zhu was still staring at her, so she hurriedly bowed her head and said, "Yingmei summoned the Lucky Ganlu Hall last night, and the concubine hasn't seen her today." ”
Empress Zhu waited for Concubine Xian to finish her words before she withdrew her gaze, and said after a sigh, "So that's the case." The warbler beauty is still young, and it is normal to snooze a little......"
Before the words fell, I saw Lingxi hurriedly walking in from the entrance of the hall in a panic, kneeling directly in front of Queen Zhu, and said in an anxious tone, "The concubine please come late, and please ask the queen to punish her." ”
Empress Zhu raised her eyes to look at the Lingxi kneeling under the phoenix seat, and she was wearing a beige pink skirt with a waist-cinching waist, and the skirt was embroidered with a strange and strong plum branch with brown silk thread. He wore a simple bun on his head, only two jasper hairpins, and no gold ornaments.
The hair bun and clothes that are not suitable can be seen that they are in a hurry when they are groomed.
Lingxi knelt on the ground, uneasy, and his heart was pounding. When she woke up in the Manna Palace, Emperor Yong'an had already gone to the Morning Dynasty, and the lotus Rong who came with her said that Emperor Yong'an had instructed her not to wake up Lingxi.
Lingxi scolded Lianrong for messing around, how could she sleep soundly in the Sweet Dew Hall until dawn at this time?
Don't hurry back to Yilan Hall to prepare, Lingxi hurriedly freshened up and came to Weiyang Palace, but she was still too late to catch up left and right.
All the concubines and concubines present all hugged the lively mentality, wanting to see how Queen Zhu dealt with this warbler beauty who robbed the emperor in her palace and asked An to be late the next day.
Empress Zhu saw that fine sweat was oozing from Lingxi's white forehead, and finally said loudly, "The beauty of the warbler has worked hard to wait for the emperor, she is young, and it is the season of snooze, it is understandable, get up." ”
Lingxi breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly thanked him, but he still didn't dare to sit down.
Concubine Xian finally put her heart in her stomach and slowly stood up straight.
Empress Zhu said again, "The beauty of the Ying is known to the palace, but you are now the emperor's concubine, and you must always keep your makeup." ”
Lingxi's heart tightened, and he said blessedly, "The concubine obeys the teachings of the queen!" ”
Concubine Cao sneered, raised her right hand to cover her nose, and said in a voice that was not loud but could be heard by everyone, "What if this harem is a garden for bird training?" ”
Lingxi looked back at Cao Concubine fiercely, and saw that Cao Concubine had disdain in her eyes, with a mean smile on the corner of her mouth, and leaned back as if she was afraid of smelling her body. Not only Concubine Cao, but even the concubines and concubines beside her also showed disdain in their eyes.
Empress Zhu obviously heard it too, and after coughing twice, she frowned, "Enough!" There is no rest all day. ”
Concubine Cao snorted coldly and withdrew her gaze from Lingxi. When he looked at Queen Zhu, he changed his gentle face and said with a smile, "The concubine knows that she is wrong." ”
I didn't even get up.
Empress Zhu did not blame Concubine Cao, but she did not let Lingxi return to her seat, even Concubine Xian was standing in the center of the hall.
Empress Zhu stretched out her hand behind her, and the big eunuch behind her immediately handed a booklet to Empress Zhu's hand.
Empress Zhu took it in her hand and looked through it, coughed lightly during the period, and then clicked on the booklet with her hand, as if she was calculating something.
The entire Weiyang Hall was quiet, watching the movement in front of the main hall.
After a while, Queen Zhu raised her eyes to look at Lingxi, and then handed her gaze to the concubines, and said in a calm voice, "Half of August has passed, and the emperor has entered the harem thirteen times, and has gone to the Yihuan Hall of the Rou Concubine once, the Qiacin Hall of the Ying Concubine once, the Yiyang Hall of the Concubine once, the Deyang Hall of the Xian Concubine twice, and the Qi Meiren once, the Ning Cai people once, the Xiang Baolin once, the Yingcai people, five times......"
Lingxi lowered his head and closed his eyes. From the moment Empress Zhu took out Cheng Enbo, Lingxi knew that Empress Zhu would not let her go today.
There were no less than forty concubines sitting there, and after listening to Queen Zhu's recitation of Cheng Enbo, they all looked at Lingxi. They all knew that Lingxi was favored, but they didn't know that Lingxi was so favored, and it actually took up almost half of the number of favors.
Empress Zhu closed Cheng Enbo, and the corners of her mouth hooked up a smile, "Yingcai is a saintly favor, and it is not an exaggeration to use the words "six palaces." ”
Cao Concubine hated it even more, and her eyes looked at Lingxi like a knife. In the past half a month, no, Emperor Yong'an has not even stepped into the Changxin Palace once in the past two months, let alone her Changxia Palace.
Lingxi blessed his body, pressed his head lower, and said softly, "The concubine doesn't dare." ”
"Don't dare? What else do you warbler don't dare?! Empress Zhu suddenly slapped the table and shouted, "You kneel down for the palace!" ”
Lingxi fell to the ground with a pop, and the concubine beside her was so frightened by Queen Zhu that her legs were weak, and she actually knelt down.
Lingxi himself is nothing, but when he sees Concubine Xian kneeling, his heart hurts. When she was a child and was punished by her father and mother for causing trouble, the idle concubine would stand up and stand up for her. But at the moment, this harem is not the Ye family's courtyard, but I am afraid that Concubine Xian will not be able to save her and will take herself.
Sure enough, when Queen Zhu saw Concubine Xian kneeling, her face was even more angry, "Concubine Xian, you knelt down for no reason, but you have something to say?" ”
Concubine Xian looked frightened, looked at Queen Zhu, and then turned to look at Lingxi, but opened her mouth several times without making a sound.
Concubine Ying glanced at Concubine Xian and Lingxi, looked at Queen Zhu's face again, got up and said with a smile, "Queen Mother, Concubine Xian has always been timid and weak, I'm afraid that her legs are numb just now." ”
After hearing this, Empress Zhu accepted her anger at Xian Concubine, and her face softened and said to Xian Concubine, "This palace forgot to let you sit down, and you have been there all the time." If you are weak, don't bow so much, get up and sit down. ”
Concubine Xian glanced at Lingxi and wanted to say something, but Concubine Ying walked up to her and pulled her up, and said in a low voice, "You will only help more and more messy." ”
Concubine Xian seemed to know that her ability was limited, so she stood up with the strength of Concubine Ying, sat back on the seat, and twisted a brocade handkerchief in her hand like a twist.
After Ling Xi saw the concubine get up, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Empress Zhu raised her hand and threw Cheng En thin on Lingxi's face, knocked off the hairpin on Lingxi's head to fix the bun, and the long hair like ink jade poured down, cutting a gentle arc around Lingxi's waist.
"Look at what dirty tricks you've used!" Empress Zhu pointed at Lingxi with her fingers full of pearls and jade, and reprimanded, "How much do you remember the concubine's conduct?" How much do you remember about women's morality? ”
It was the first time for all the concubines to see Queen Zhu have such a big temper, and they couldn't help but hold their breath in their throats, and they didn't even dare to breathe.
Lingxi pinned the hanging inky green silk behind his ear with his hand, and picked up Cheng Enbo.
I saw that on Cheng En's book, every page of her bed was carefully ticked by the mother of the bed on the character, women and virtues.
Conduct, which refers to her moaning when she sleeps, and women's virtue is that she and Emperor Yong'an have too many times every night.
Lingxi took the Cheng Enbo and suddenly wanted to laugh, is there anything more ridiculous than this, it has to be counted in detail. Lingxi looked through the records of other concubines when they were sleeping, and suddenly understood why he was so favored by Emperor Yong'an.
She couldn't help but mourn in silence for the emperor of Dashun in her heart, this broken jb emperor, when it was too sad, he had three thousand beauties in the harem for nothing, and he couldn't do it!
