Chapter 9: Temptation
When Wei Qingguan and his entourage came to Shoukang Palace, Roufu, dressed in blue palace clothes, was already waiting at the gate of the palace.
When I saw Wei Qingguan dressed in red at first glance, Roufu's eyes were amazed for a moment, and that bright red was so warm in the spring sun.
The woman is wrapped in red makeup, with a snowy wrist and a beautiful appearance. It seems that the previous layer of cloth that covered his own light has been removed, and there is no longer the dullness of the past, only the vitality remains, such a glamorous Wei Qingguan, no wonder Dongfang Chen would spoil her like this!
The surprise at first sight, the guilt hidden in the bottom of his heart for many years, just these two things, as long as Wei Qingguan makes good use of them, he can grasp the emperor in his hands.
Looking at the beautiful figure that came, Roufu couldn't help but be distracted, and when she saw the figure getting closer and closer, she pulled back her mind and smiled lightly.
"Niangniang came so early, the queen mother just said that the slave maid sent a sedan chair to pick up Niangniang, I was afraid that the spring wind would blow Niangniang, and I didn't want Niangniang to come by herself! I haven't seen the queen for a long time, and the mother is fine! Roufu smiled slightly, and his tone was very warm.
"Where is it so delicate, but also let the queen mother bother like this, the palace just looked at the spring light, thinking that the queen mother must have an excellent scenery in the harem, so he was not willing to sit in a sedan chair and walked by himself. Aunt Furou is well! My aunt is getting younger and younger, which is really enviable! ”
Wei Qingguan saw that she was so diligent and enthusiastic, and she didn't twist it, she smiled and supported her bowing body, the two of you chatted with me, although it was talking, Roufu's eyes were always on Wei Qingguan's body, and he never left for half a minute, and his hot and elegant gaze seemed to see through Wei Qingguan!
"The Queen Mother occasionally felt a cold a few days ago, and she originally wanted to go to Yongning Hall to see the little prince and the queen in person, but she was afraid that she would be sick to you, so she didn't come!"
During this time, Shoukang Palace deliberately snubbed Wei Qingguan, and it was naturally nothing in the past. It's just that now, Roufu always has to respond so simply.
Wei Qingguan knew the meaning of Roufu, his face was just a delicate smile, and he said without preaching, "The queen mother's well-being is the most important thing, if the queen mother wants to see the palace and the little prince, my aunt just needs to say that the palace will bother you every day, as long as the queen mother and you are not annoyed!" ”
"Niangniang's small mouth now seems to be smeared with honey, it's really sweet and greasy, it's no wonder that the emperor likes it so much now!" Seeing that Wei Qingguan responded so appropriately, Roufu couldn't help but sigh again in her heart, the queen really became unrecognizable, which surprised her.
"My aunt is used to making fun of people!" Wei Qingguan didn't intend to pay attention to Roufu's thoughts, and said with a blush on his face and shyness and timidity.
The two of them entered the inner hall with a grin, Shoukang Palace maintained the appearance in Wei Qingguan's memory, solemn and awe-inspiring, a pillar of fragrance in the inner room with repeated green smoke swirling around the air, the queen mother was sitting on the soft collapse on the side, the bamboo blue flowing color dark flower cloud brocade palace decoration, a multicolored filigree inlaid moonstone step on the homely bun shone in the hair.
"Please give peace to the queen mother, may the queen mother be blessed with longevity and well-being, and be happy for a long time!" Wei Qingguan knelt down to the Queen Mother on top of the soft collapse and said goodbye, opening his mouth as crisply as the sound of a jade falling on a jade plate, with a smile in his eyes.
"I haven't seen my mother for a long time, and I see that my mother's complexion is very good, and my daughter-in-law is relieved, and my daughter-in-law has nothing good to give to her mother, a few days ago, the emperor sent two Korean ginseng, so I borrowed flowers to offer Buddha to give to my mother, and give my mother a normal body!"
"Good girl, it's hard for you to think about the queen mother, it's just a heart that doesn't restrict what you send, it's good to come." Different from Roufu, after looking carefully, the Queen Mother only glanced at Wei Qingguan at this moment, and then stopped looking, just smiled shallowly and signaled the palace maid beside her to accept the brocade box in Banxia's hand.
"I haven't seen you for a long time, you're really getting more and more beautiful, come, sit!" The Queen Mother smiled with her eyebrows, patted the vacant position next to her, and said to Wei Qingguan, who sat down beside the Queen Mother after seeing it.
"It's not a big deal to call you here today, but I heard that the mourning family was curious when you cut the sixth palace of the assistant concubine yesterday, so I called you to ask." After Wei Qingguan sat down, the Queen Mother was concise and straight to the point.
Wei Qingguan, who originally thought that the Queen Mother had called her to play Tai Chi for a while, was surprised for a moment after hearing her words, and only a moment later, she smiled, looked at the wisp of green smoke in front of the Buddha and said very calmly.
"The queen mother is curious about the power that the concubine will finally get back!"
Seeing Wei Qingguan so calm, the Queen Mother didn't make any noise, she stared at Wei Qingguan in front of her and listened to her quietly.
"The queen mother eats fasting and recites Buddha all year round, and she reads more Buddhist scriptures than anyone else, although the Buddha's truth and daughter-in-law do not understand, but a sentence in the Buddhist family makes the concubines meet very deeply. The Buddha said that there are eight sufferings in life, birth, old age, sickness, death, love and separation, hatred for a long time, can't ask for it, can't let go. Among them, the concubine felt that the most difficult thing was that she couldn't ask for it and couldn't let it go. ”
"Once the concubine was full of love for the emperor and couldn't ask for the emperor, but now the concubine still can't let go of her obsession with the emperor, in the past, the concubine always thought that if she was a good queen, the emperor would always look at the concubine more, but this is not the case. Now that she is fortunate enough to live one more time, do the concubines still stupidly save the so-called rights in their hands? It is better to be free and easy to be yourself. ”
From ancient times to the 21st century, men have hoped that their women will be considerate of themselves and willing to be a flower, and most of the so-called love at first sight begins with love at first sight.
If you live not even yourself, where will someone love you, the original body did not understand, blindly accommodating and pleased, trying to use humility to get pity, begging for feelings, but I don't know that these will never be worthless, and they are even more cheap in the eyes of others.
"Among these many concubines, there is no shortage of natural beauty, there will always be someone among them who can be loved by the emperor, and the emperor can like one of them, so why not like the concubines. Instead of being a queen who is high above and does not eat the fireworks of the world, it is better to be the only woman who the emperor loves, what is the use of power, it is just a product of loneliness and comfort! I don't know if the queen mother is satisfied with such an answer! ”
"Besides, what is the use of this right for the concubines, the entire Great Zhou Emperor is the greatest right, and all the people in this harem know that as long as the emperor is willing to stand behind them, it doesn't matter what status and honor. Now as long as the emperor's heart is on the concubine, no one can shake the queen of the concubine, right! ”
Facing the Queen Mother Wei Qingguan calmly told the truth in her heart, these words are the heartfelt words in her heart at this moment, and they are also sensitive, and the Queen Mother fell into a moment of contemplation after listening to Wei Qingguan's words, and in the face of Wei Qingguan's feelings at this moment, this woman who has experienced the rise and fall of honor and disgrace seems to remember her past years, and her eyebrows can't help but be dyed with a little sadness.
Fortunately, Aunt Roufu reacted quickly, and after listening to Wei Qingguan's words, she brought back the refreshments that had been prepared at hand before pulling back the Queen Mother's already distant thoughts.
When a big red robe with a long tea fragrance was handed to Wei Qingguan, she was not in a hurry to taste the tea, but smiled shallowly: "Auntie remembers the stubble, this palace doesn't like to drink the big red robe, that is what the emperor loves to drink." However, my aunt's craftsmanship is excellent, and even Banxia can't make such a tea fragrance! ”
Wei Qingguan knew that Roufu was using this tea to test himself, and the rumors in the palace had been rumored for a long time, and he thought that Aunt Roufu had also heard it in her heart, and she would be tempted like this again and again today. Seeing Roufu's face, the Queen Mother started a round and said, "She, she is getting older, and her memory is getting worse and worse!" ”
"The queen doesn't drink it, I come to drink it, it's rare to find the tea made by Aunt Roufu herself, but I really haven't drunk it for a long time, so I can't waste it." Aunt Roufu was about to resolve the embarrassment when a low male voice with a light smile appeared at the right time, and when her eyes met, Wei Qingguan saw Dongfang Chen, who was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe and jade crown and tied hair, seeing his appearance at the moment, he thought that he had come here without even changing his clothes.
"The emperor's ......" Wei Qingguan ran to the man who suddenly appeared at this moment in three steps and two steps, smiling and looking like a girl with a spring in her arms, without waiting for her to be blessed Dongfang Chen, she reached out to support her kneeling body, the two looked at each other and smiled, so like a talented woman and a talented woman, indescribable affection!
"Look at the appearance of this little couple of honey mixing oil, it's really our old guys who are in the way here, the emperor is just going down to the court, you, you have been anxious since you were a child, and now you are still like this, is it possible that you are afraid that the mourning family will eat your queen!" The Queen Mother laughed on the side, interrupting the situation between the two of them, Wei Qingguan blushed and hid in Dongfang Chen's arms and stopped making a sound.
Dongfang Chen smiled lightly, "Queen Mother, Yun'er has a thin face, don't make fun of her anymore." ”
"Okay, okay, now that you have the emperor to protect you, the mourning family doesn't dare to make fun of our thin-skinned queen!" Seeing Dongfang Chen say this, the Queen Mother was no longer funny, I saw that she changed her serious look and said to Wei Qingguan and Dongfang Chen, "It's rare that you are all here, it just so happened that the queen's mother sent someone to ask the mourning family, saying that she hadn't seen the queen for a long time, and wanted to ask the queen to come to the palace to see the queen, and the mourning family didn't make the decision, now ask the queen what you mean." ”
Wei family! Putting away the delicate color on his face, Wei Qingguan's expression changed, and there was some resentment in his eyes.
From the time I woke up to the present, when I was dying on the bed, I didn't see anyone to come to see it, and I just saw that I had some movement in the harem, and I remembered that my daughter was coming, and I was really embarrassed by my own mother's family!
"My daughter-in-law is in good health, and there is no family member who comes to visit, so the queen mother will go back for me!"
Without the slightest deep thought, Wei Qingguan blurted out words with implied hatred, "Besides, it's just a few days before the little prince is full moon, and when the time comes, the parents of the daughter-in-law will always enter the palace at the night banquet in the palace, and it will not be worse than this day or two." The daughter-in-law is the queen and should lead by example, marrying into the royal family is the royal person, where can she always communicate frequently with her mother's family, it is inevitable that the rules will be broken. ”
For the Wei family, Wei Qingguan's resentment in his heart is actually much more than that of Dongfang Chen, the emperor. The former is mostly cold-blooded, while the latter is cold-blooded.
Anyway, they are also connected by blood, and they can ignore them, the daughter of the Wei family, and they are also ruthless, since they were able to stay out of Wei Qingguan in the past, now, why is she still licking her face and pasting it to thank them for their favor, after all, now they want to slap themselves!
The Wei family's attitude towards this daughter in the past was known to everyone in the palace, so when facing Wei Qingguan's attitude towards the Wei family, everyone present did not feel that there was anything wrong. And Dongfang Chen saw the woman's resentful and hurt expression, and only gently held Wei Qingguan's hand, and whispered softly with concern: "I will stand behind you, become your support, protect your peace for the rest of your life, and will not let you suffer any more grievances!" ”
Wei Qingguan smiled at Dongfang Chen, leaned his head into his arms again, and felt the meditation brought to him by this soft and firm embrace.
