Chapter 337: One Arm
Since Lingxi and King Ning met in the Jiyue Palace, Shen Feng has been coming and going more frequently between the two.
Although King Ning didn't say it explicitly, Lingxi clearly knew what King Ning meant. King Ning wanted to be the emperor, and he wanted to use the same method as when Emperor Yong'an ascended the throne as emperor.
And the only one who can fulfill King Ning is the Feng Decree that unifies the six palaces in the hands of Lingxi.
On the first day of the tenth month of the tenth year of Yong'an, Shen Feng brought Lingxi a letter written by King Ning himself.
First, after King Ning ascended the throne, he canonized Lingxi as the queen mother, stayed in the imperial city or went out of the palace with the five princes, and followed Lingxi's wishes.
Second, cut five cities to the five princes in the rich land south of the Yangtze River, and let the five princes, who only have a title, become the real kings of a territory.
Three, the ten princes and the ten princesses will enjoy eternal glory, and everything is decided by Lingxi.
After reading the letters one by one, Lingxi burned the letter with his own hands with the same face.
The three items mentioned in King Ning's letter all made Lingxi's heart move.
When King Ning ascends the throne as emperor, Lingxi can withdraw from the battle in the harem and truly regain his freedom.
Lingxi has been too tired all these years, this is what she can't ask for.
And the five princes have a fief, and they can spend their lives away from the imperial city peacefully. The Ten Princes and the Ten Princesses can also live in the fiefdom with the Five Princes, avoiding many unnecessary fights in the royal family.
However, the heart is the heartbeat, and without full certainty, Lingxi will not hand over the phoenix order in his hand.
Therefore, Lingxi did not give King Ning a clear answer, and his attitude was very vague.
On the fifth day of the tenth month of the tenth year of Yong'an, Zuo Shangshu Ye Jinkao proposed to establish a prince again in the court. And the prince in question is the seventh prince who is only three years old under the knee of Yigui Concubine.
This time, Emperor Yong'an reversed his previous disgusted attitude and praised the Seven Princes vigorously, saying that the Seventh Princes were quite similar to him when he was young.
On the sixth day of October in the tenth year of Yong'an, Emperor Yong'an decreed that Jin Yi's noble concubine was a concubine.
This subtle change in the harem immediately made people with a heart smell a different taste.
The spirit rhino has become a joke in the harem.
She risked her life to block the knife for Emperor Yong'an, but in the end she made a wedding dress for Concubine Yi.
Regarding the secret discussions of the concubines in the harem, Lingxi was as if he couldn't hear it. She has to be busy with the affairs of the six palaces and take care of the four imperial heirs all day long, where is the idle energy to care about what others say?
It's nothing more than that when Yue Baolin said something extremely ugly, Lingxi issued an edict to ban him for three months, so that Yue Baolin could understand who was really in charge of the Six Palaces at this time.
On the tenth day of the tenth month of the tenth year of Yong'an, Emperor Yong'an led the military generals of the court to hunt in the enclosure on the outskirts of Beijing, and only brought a concubine of Concubine Yi and a prince of the Seven Princes to accompany him.
On the afternoon of October 11, Yu Guifei went to the Luoxue Pavilion to make a budget for the spring of Yong'an's eleventh year.
After checking a few times and getting it right, Yu Guifei threw the thick account book in her hand on the table, frowned and complained to Lingxi, "What is the matter, you are suffering here, but let others pick up ready-made!" ”
Lingxi raised his eyes to look at Yu Guifei, and said with a faint smile, "If you are tired, then stop and eat a few pastries, drink a few sips of tea, and take a rest......
After that, he lowered his head again, and made a table of the use of Yong'an's ten-year summer and Yong'an's nine-year summer in a way that he could understand.
Seeing that Lingxi was lukewarm, Yu Guifei reached out and snatched the brush from Lingxi's hand and put it back on the pen holder carved in the shape of a lion.
Concubine Yu pouted, her eyes were full of dissatisfaction, "There is time to seal the concubine, the will of the concubine, why is there a will to be canonized?" ”
Lingxi was not annoyed, took the wet handkerchief handed over by the lotus leaf, cleaned his hands, picked up the teacup and took a bite, and after a long exhalation, he said with a smile, "What a good thing, now being a noble concubine is so tired, if you really move to Weiyang Palace, wouldn't you be tired to death." ”
"Now that you have taken over all the affairs of the Sixth Palace, how can you still be tired?" Yu Guifei twisted the Jinpa in her hand, and said indignantly, "You sacrificed your life and death to block the dagger, but you didn't want the unknown Concubine Yi to seize the opportunity." Ye Shangshu is also yes, in order to save the Ye family, he actually disregarded your life and death. ”
"It's not related to him, and the higher my position in the harem, the more apprehensive he is. In order to be able to keep the Ye family, it is also his own thing to do this. Lingxi smiled at the noble concubine Yingying, and said, "Besides, they can recognize me as a fake Ye Ziluo, which has helped me a lot." ”
Qiaozhu walked in from outside, saluted Lingxi, and said, "Niangniang, the palace maid in the Half Moon Pavilion handed out a message, saying that Xiancai is bent on death, and she wants to see you before she dies." ”
"If you really want to die, do you still need to see me?" Lingxi wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, and instructed Qiaozhu, "Let the palace maid bring the words back, just say that she will die if she wants to, and this palace will not see her." Let the palace maid be more clever, what should be said and what should not be said are counted in her heart. ”
Qiaozhu nodded again and again, and said with a grin, "The slave maid understands, the slave maid asked the little palace maid to say in front of her every day that the third prince was crying and looking for the concubine......"
After Qiaozhu retreated, Concubine Yu looked at Lingxi and sighed in a quiet tone, "Talented people can be regarded as self-inflicted. If she hadn't done everything, how would she end up today? As a mother, I should have felt sad to hear that she was thinking about her children. But somehow, I secretly relieved my hatred in my heart, and I only wished that she would suffer more to make up for the hardships you have suffered over the years. ”
"I want to have a little pity for her." Lingxi raised the corners of her mouth and sneered, "It's just that she is a frozen poisonous snake, as long as she is given a little chance to turn over, she will bite my throat and never let go." ”
"It's just that your heart is still soft." Yu Guifei said with a smile, "You let the little palace maid say those words every day to torture the talented people, but you punished the Chen Meiren who took improper care of the ninth princess, and never let the third prince and the ninth princess suffer the slightest bit of embarrassment......"
"What a child." Lingxi looked up at Yu Guifei and smiled softly, "What's more, the third prince and the ninth princess are the emperor's heirs, and for this alone, no one can bully them." ”
"Hard mouth!" Yu Guifei raised her hand and nodded Lingxi's forehead, and stopped talking after laughing.
Lingxi also put down the tea cup in his hand, and quietly looked at the chrysanthemums blooming luxuriantly outside the window with Yu Guifei.
For a long time, Yu Guifei's eyes were lonely, and she muttered, "Think about it more, if you sit like this, a lifetime will pass." ”
"Alright, don't sigh." Lingxi pointed to the account book on the table, and smiled bitterly at the noble concubine, "If Concubine Yi has that blessing, then let her move all these quickly, I haven't been with Yi'er and them for a few days." ”
Concubine Yu was finally amused by Lingxi.
The two were about to reopen the account book to reconcile, when Xiao Dezi suddenly ran in from outside with a panicked look, and after saluting Lingxi, he stood beside Lingxi without saying a word.
Lingxi put away the smile on his face, looked back at Xiao Dezi and asked suspiciously, "What happened, why did you panic like this?" ”
Xiao Dezi hesitated, and just as he wanted to speak, he saw Yizhi already walking in from the outside.
Yizhi's face turned slightly pale, and she stood on the side after facing Yu Guifei, but she didn't speak.
Seeing this, Concubine Yu stood up and smiled at Lingxi, "The Nine Emperors should also wake up, I'll go back and take a look." I'll come back to you tomorrow afternoon......"
After saying that, he was blessed with Lingxi, held Qi'er's hand, and went out with Yizhi.
Seeing the figure of the noble concubine walking out of the Luoxue Pavilion, Xiao Dezi whispered in Lingxi's ear, "Niangniang, something is wrong!" ”
"What's wrong?" Lingxi raised his eyes and glanced at Xiao Dezi, his brows furrowed slightly.
Xiao Dezi gritted his teeth and told Lingxi the news he had inquired about. "The emperor is very bad!"
"Bastard!" Lingxi glared angrily when he heard this, "The emperor only went out of the palace to hunt yesterday, why is it not good?!" Where did you hear the rumors, it's really getting more and more deadly! ”
"Niangniang, even if the slave has eight guts, he will never dare to make this rumor." Xiao Dezi said to Lingxi, "I heard that not long after the emperor arrived at the paddock yesterday, he fell off his horse while hunting, and he fainted at that time......
Lingxi's face turned slightly pale, she looked at Xiao Dezi and asked, "How sure are you of this news?" ”
"Mother, the slave only swept one ear, and will come back to you soon." Xiao Dezi glanced at Lingxi's face and replied cautiously, "Judging from the experience of the minions who have inquired about the news for so many years, I am afraid that this news is ......."
"I'm afraid it's ......" Lingxi closed the half-opened account book in his hand and said to Xiao Dezi, "Don't be afraid." Now you go out to investigate, and you must find out whether this rumor is true or false. I'll be right back with any news. ”
Xiao Dezi said yes and hurriedly went out.
That night, before Xiao Dezi could find out the truth clearly, Shen Feng came to Luoxue Pavilion.
Shen Feng brought a prepared holy decree to Lingxi, and what was written on the holy decree was the guarantee that King Ning had made to Lingxi.
Shen Feng knelt at the feet of Lingxi and said to Lingxi, "Ye Guifei Niangniang, the prince has said, as long as the mother is willing to help the prince, the first thing the prince will do when he gets the jade seal is to seal this holy decree." ”
