Chapter 41: Gold in All Mouths (5)

Mrs. Gongsun pointed out that Sang scolded Huaidi for a while, although Xiao Zhu was still holding a smile at the moment, Pei Yaowei knew that he was already very unhappy in his heart.

"Madam," she put down the teacup in her hand and said with a smile: "Madame reprimanded me, I don't dare not listen, I just ask you not to climb the emperor as an alliance!" Speaking of which, the reason why I don't go out behind closed doors is also because I don't have enough energy now, and there are some people and things that are not worth bothering about, just don't bother. ”

Mrs. Gongsun only thought that she was talking about the concubines of the Sixth Palace, but Xiao Zhu almost didn't hold the teacup when she heard her last half of the sentence.

He knew that she wasn't talking about the sixth house.

He unconsciously looked at her, if she blinked her eyes, she would definitely see that at this moment, his eyes were wrapped in a rare sense of panic.

However, she just bowed her head and sighed faintly: "Those who abandon me will not stay yesterday; Whoever disturbs my heart, may this day be free from troubles. ”

This time, even Mrs. Gongsun's face changed slightly.

At this time, there was a noise outside, and the palace maid replied, saying that Princess Yecheng had woken up from a nap and was clamoring to find the queen.

Before Pei Yao's words came out, Mrs. Gongsun took the lead in getting up and said, "The slave maid is going to see the princess, and the mother and Your Majesty are here to talk with confidence." ”

After that, he didn't give Pei Yaowei a chance to object, only gave her a reminding look, and hurriedly retreated.

The warm pavilion is quiet like an ice cellar.

Xiao Chai has never entered the door of Changqiu Palace these days, and it is also because of Mrs. Gongsun's visit this time that he finally found an excuse, persuaded himself, and pulled down his face to look at her, but now there are only two people left, but he doesn't know how to talk about it.

Here, I only heard her lazy and said: "The concubine has nothing to say to Your Majesty." Your Majesty Lingyun Hall is still busy with government officials, so the concubines will not be sent. So saying, she got up, and with a shallow blessing, she was about to leave.

In the past two years, Xiao Zhu always thought that she was really the person who knew how to provoke herself the most in the world.

"Pei Yao!" He slapped his palm on the small case, and the roar of anger blocked her way, and she heard him ask, "Are you in such a hurry to chase me away?" Isn't it that to this day, everything I do is only to bother you? ”

Well, yes. She said to herself.

"Where!" Turning around and smiling, she said in an exaggerated tone: "The concubine is just distressed by Your Majesty." You are in the Changqiu Palace, you want to act, you have to lie, and you have to pretend not to complain about me, you don't hate me, tsk...... The concubine looked distressed! I can't bear to give you such a big grievance. What about you, if you really can't leave the Changqiu Palace like this...... It is also possible that the concubines are waiting for your edict, and as soon as the edict arrives, the concubines will move immediately, and will not block you. ”

Xiao stood up suddenly, walked in front of her in two big steps, stretched out his hand and held her shoulders, "You are sure that I will not dare to abolish you, right?" ”

His eyes seemed to be on fire, and the strength in his hands was used very much, and Pei Yao faintly had the illusion that his shoulders were about to be shattered.

She frowned, nudged him twice, didn't push away, and gave up.

"Xiao Cha, I'm looking forward to abolishing me."

She raised her eyes to look at him, Xiao Chai saw extreme helplessness and exhaustion in her eyes, this emotion made him feel more helpless than her anger, so he only knew how to behave more fiercely.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Say it again! ”

Pei Yaowei smiled lightly and said patiently: "I said, if necessary, I can kneel three times and knock nine times, from Changqiu Palace to Lingyun Palace, begging you to abolish me." ”

"You ——!"

Xiao Chai was so angry with her that he jumped up, and after staring at each other for a long time, he suddenly couldn't stand her unwavering eyes. It's as if all his anger at the moment is for something that has nothing to do with her, as if, whether he is sad or disappointed, in her eyes, he is just an inconsequential person, acting in an inconsequential play.

Thinking of this, he jerked her away, took two steps back and sat back on the couch, turning his head away, not daring to look at her again.

He gasped heavily, his face extremely painful, "...... Pei Yaowei, what the hell am I wrong with you? Am I sorry for you? ”

In the latter sentence, his accent was on 'me' and 'you', and when Pei Yao heard it, he laughed mockingly.

At this moment, she clearly understood that Xiao Zhu really loved herself.

Loved, even if he decided that she was sorry for him, he was willing to 'tolerate' to keep himself.

"How can it be that you are sorry for me?" She relieved herself and walked back to sit down, "You are the emperor, you won't be sorry for anyone." If there is a fault, it will only be someone else's. ”

She closed her eyes and whispered, "I just don't want to serve someone who can never be wrong." ”

Xiao Chai left.

A short time later, Mrs. Gongsun came in.

Pei Yaowei was still sitting in the first place, raising her eyes to look at her, and smiled slightly.

"Madame...... Makes you smile. She lowered her head and sighed, laughing at herself, "I ...... is probably the most unqualified queen in the history of the Pei family. ”

Madame Gongsun came to her and said with pity: "But you are already the queen." There was no one around, so she also boldly said: "Niangniang, the emperor is not a good husband, but he is still your king." You should know that if you can't keep this Changqiu Palace, what awaits you outside will not be freedom, but only ......"

Pei Yaowei calmly continued for her: "Dead end? ”

Mrs. Gongsun's hand on her shoulder tightened suddenly, "Niangniang! ”

Pei Yaowei smiled faintly and comforted her: "Don't worry, I understand." ”

Mrs. Gongsun didn't speak, and her eyes were clearly full of doubts.

Pei Yao shook her hand and leaned into her arms, "I really understand." You don't have to worry about me too much. What's next...... I have a plan. ”

"You mean ......?"

She shook her head, "You'll know then." As she spoke, she remembered something, "But I do have something I want to discuss with you. ”

Mrs. Gongsun asked her to speak up.

Pei Yaowei told her that she hoped she could go to Heshou Palace and exchange the Spinning Moon back.

She said: "There are some things that can be done by Xiuxing alone, which is somewhat difficult. When the moon came back, I was a foil. It just so happens that you and Empress Dowager Li haven't seen each other for many years, so there must be a lot of things I want to say. In the future, if you can stay in Heshou Palace, then I will have no worries in this world. ”

When the first emperor, Empress Dowager Li first entered the court and was favored by Empress Dexiao, and then Empress Dexiao was sick, and she has always been Li's careful service to the sick. Later, after the Li family was established, the first emperor even raised Princess Rongxuan under his knees and raised her until she became an adult.

Empress Dowager Li has always regarded the princess as her own, and she also respects Mrs. Gongsun, and the two parties have always been friendly and harmonious, otherwise, Xiao Di would not dare to go to the eldest princess when she was in trouble.

Mrs. Gongsun agreed to be very good, and only said: "Niangniang, don't worry, the slave and maid will guard the queen mother." You just have to do your thing with peace of mind. ”

Pei Yao bowed her head, "Thank you, madam." ”

"Since the King of Chu has been with the eldest princess, that means that it is impossible for him to appear in the capital at the same time......"

On the night when Fangyue came back from Heshou Palace, plus the embroidered star, the three masters and servants talked about it in the dormitory.

Fang Yue said, with a suspicious look on her face, "But master, the slave maid has inquired about the wind direction outside for a while, and there are indeed a lot of rumors about the appearance of the King of Chu in the capital, and now that she knows that this is a rumor, the slave maid thinks...... The emperor was very angry with you about this matter, thinking that he really believed in the return of the king of Chu to Beijing, so that this rumor would not have been spread by the emperor. If it weren't for the emperor......"

"Such rumors are not good for the front, they are good for only two things." Xiuxing said, "One can corroborate the fact that the master and the king of Chu had a private meeting with Zhaoye Temple, and the other is that it is detrimental to the Qing discussion of the king of Chu, so that people can misunderstand that he became a deserter after the battle of Wuhualing." At this point, she couldn't help but stomp her foot in hatred, "Ahem! It's only to blame that this rumor is boiling, and it's hard to find a root! ”

“…… Who will it be? Fangyue Fox said suspiciously: "Liang Guifei? Or Empress Dowager Liang? ”

Pei Yaowei didn't speak for a long time, and at this moment, he suddenly raised his eyes and asked, "Is it the rumor that the King of Chu returned to Beijing without permission, or the matter of Zhaoye Temple that came out first?" ”

Hearing this, Fangyue and Xiuxing glanced at each other, and they were a little stunned.

"Master, the slave maid will go to check early in the morning!" Half an hour, spinning moon road.

Pei Yaowei shook her head, "Don't worry, anyway, you can't fake this order, whenever you want to check, you can find out the truth." ”

Fangyue nodded and asked slowly, "Then, master, what are we going to do next?" ”

After pondering for a moment, Pei Yao asked Xiuxing: "These days, do you often have concubines send things over?" ”

Xiuxing said: "Yes, since you closed the palace and did not come out, Concubine Xian, Pan Shuyuan and others decided to save the province in the morning and dusk, and they will all offer some tonic snacks, and the whole generation will ask for peace." After a pause, she showed a hint of disdain, and then said: "Since Mrs. Gongsun came, more and more people have been sending things these days!" When I came over today, I also talked to the slave maid, originally this time, Liang Yanyu's front door of Chenghui Palace was like a market, and the threshold was about to be broken, but these days have gradually become cold. Hum! It's all the grass on the wall that sees the wind and rudder! One by one, they pulled their eyes, staring at where the wind was blowing! ”

Pei Yao smiled, and then bowed his head and said, "That's good." ”

That's good. She thought. Only when the situation is turbulent will people be uneasy.

Only a dog that is in a hurry will go to nothing and jump off the wall in a hurry.

She instructed with Xiuxing: "From tomorrow onwards, you will be lazy, and all the food sent to the palace does not have to be tested in the same detail, just go through the motions." After a pause, he instructed: "Remember to take it step by step, don't make people suspicious." ”

Xiuxing received the order, and frowned again, "Master, do you still eat the things that were sent?" ”

"Eat, of course." She smiled faintly, "Since it is the intention of each palace, you must taste it one by one, so that it will not chill people's hearts!" ”
