Chapter 270: Starry Sky
Zhen Ronghua is no longer the stubborn Jane Lady from the original. [Ran^Text^Library] []. [774] [buy]. At that time, she was only one person, and she could fight to the death for her parents' revenge.
Now, she has the second princess under her knees, and in order for the second princess to have a good home in the future, Zhen Ronghua can only stand up and fight to trample others under her feet.
What Zhen Yonghua wants is very simple.
One wants four princes.
After Zhen Ronghua gave birth to the second princess, she had a very difficult life in the harem, and even a high-grade palace maid could go to her palace to be powerful.
It was Mrs. Liu who really felt sorry for the second princess and protected their mother and daughter, so that their mother and daughter had a little room to breathe in this cannibalistic harem.
Now that Mrs. Liu has been killed, Zhen Ronghua wants to take the fourth prince to her knees and bring her up with her own hands after she successfully climbs to a high position, like a mother.
Second, after she was defeated, Li Qingmu could be raised in the Guanju Palace like the fourth prince.
Li Qingmu married Da Yue twice as a princess, one as a concubine, and the other as a queen, and Emperor Jianning's favor for her was unsurpassed by anyone.
She only begged that if she was defeated, Li Qingmu could pity the second princess.
Except for these two points, Zhen Ronghua has nothing else to ask for.
"Aren't you going to ask this palace to save your life?" After Zhen Ronghua finished saying the two conditions, Li Qingmu asked in surprise.
"What if a concubine saves a life?" Zhen Ronghua said in a soft tone, "If the concubine is really defeated, she will be a sinner if she saves her life." What can a concubine like a concubine bring to the second princess? It's better to die and let the second princess be raised under the queen's knees. The queen mother is kind and generous, and she will not give the second princess a little grievance. ”
Hearing these words, Li Qingmu understood why Zhen Ronghua cried repeatedly. She has put life and death aside, and there is only hatred left in her heart.
"Over the years, what kind of situation have they forced you to......" Li Qingmu sighed.
The Zhen Ronghua in front of him, where is the original stubborn Zhen Niang?
Tears slipped down her beautiful eyes, and she looked at the sunset outside with a desolate gaze, "Queen Mother, if there is no Mrs. Liu, the concubine will die many times if she holds the second princess." Now that Mrs. Liu is dead, the concubine will really have no bones left if she doesn't stand up. ”
After Zhen Ronghua left, Li Qingmu called Wen Qing, Zhi Liu, Wen Qing, Yao Yuan, and Xiao Guzi to the outer hall.
It was no accident that the prince appeared in the imperial garden that day, and there was a fine work in the Guan Ju Palace.
Yao Yuan and Zhiliu lowered their heads and meditated for a long time, thinking about all the minions in Guan Ju Palace.
The palace people in Guan Ju Palace, except for Li Qingmu brought from Dashun, were all selected by Yao Yuan and Zhiliu one by one, and they couldn't think of any of them who would be meticulous.
But if there is no meticulous work, it is impossible. If there was no meticulous work, how would Mrs. Wen know when the prince would go to the Qingxin Palace to find Li Qingmu that day, so as to lay a deadly trap for Mrs. Liu?
After thinking for a long time, Litmus set her eyes on the prince's nurse.
The prince's nurse was specially found by Emperor Jianning after the prince returned to the harem of Dayue.
Because he has served the prince wholeheartedly for more than a year, the prince already has feelings for her, and Li Qingmu did not replace her after he returned.
If you know the details of the prince's whereabouts and work and rest, except for the big palace maid litmus on the side of the prince, there is only the nurse.
With the target of suspicion, things went a lot easier.
After Yao Yuan's many investigations, he finally determined that the prince's nurse, Zhu, was the one who was hidden in Guan Ju Palace.
Before Li Qingmu returned to the palace, Mrs. Wen wanted to take the prince to her palace to raise her, so she gave Zhu a lot of benefits openly and secretly, and asked Zhu to occasionally mention that she was good to the prince by Emperor Jianning's side.
Later, Li Qingmu came back, and the Zhu family became Mrs. Wen's eyeliner.
After Yao Yuan clarified the matter of the investigation, he asked Li Qingmu for instructions, "Queen Mother, what should you do now?" Is it to send the Zhu family out? ”
Li Qingmu leaned on the low couch, his eyes slightly closed, and his chest fell together, as if he was asleep.
After a long time, Li Qingmu opened his eyes slightly, "Keep it first, Mrs. Wen will definitely make another move if she doesn't make a move, instead of sending the Zhu family out to make Mrs. Wen suspicious, it is better to plan and make a bad breath in my heart." ”
"Yes, the minions sent people to keep an eye on it, and they will not let the Zhu family hurt His Royal Highness the Prince." Yao Yuan replied respectfully.
"Hurt the prince?" Li Qingmu sneered, "No, Mrs. Wen won't let the Zhu family hurt the prince." She has no children under her knees, and now the prince has an accident, and it is Mrs. Miao and Qing Xiuyi who are cheaper......"
Picking up the silver hairpin and lightly picking the incense burner on one side, Li Qingmu raised his eyebrows and said, "In ten days, the emperor will go out of the palace to worship the heavens...... Since she has the courage to make an idea to Guan Ju Palace, then she must be prepared for death in her heart. ”
In the third year and twenty-fifth year of Emperor Jianning, Wu Fengtian officially entered the office and entered the Jinluan Palace.
Wu Fengtian originally had an idle position, but was later removed because he disappeared for two years.
Emperor Jianning did not first confer the official position of Wu Fengtian with real power, but named him the sacrificial official when he sacrificed to the sky.
The sacrificial official who sacrifices to the heavens has always been served by the national teacher Wu Yang. This year, Wu Yang has not returned from a long trip, and no one has any objections to the appointment of Wu Fengtian as a sacrificial official.
After all, Wu Fengtian is Wu Yang's own brother and a mysterious Wu family.
The sacrificial official is a false position, and he can't even evaluate the official character, but Wu Fengtian began to go to court and stand in the ranks of civil officials.
Jianning March 27, Li Qingmu's twenty-first birthday.
The queen's birthday, the harem has always been a big celebration.
Mrs. Wen and Mrs. Miao had carefully prepared as early as a month ago and set the venue for the palace banquet in the Luanming Hall of Guanju Palace.
Luanming Hall is a three-storey attic, the first floor covers a wide area for palace banquets, the second floor has a large stage where you can watch the play, and the third floor is the viewing platform.
Because it was March, there was no scenery at night, and the concubines watched the stage play for a long time during the day, and then returned to Luanming Palace to participate in the palace banquet after going back to change their clothes.
At the palace banquet, Li Qingmu sat on the main seat in a phoenix robe and accepted the birthday worship of the harem concubines.
Sitting on the main seat, Li Qingmu's eyes kept sweeping between Mrs. Wen, Mrs. Miao, Qing Xiuyi, and Wen Chongyuan, and received their expressions of truth or falsehood, joy or annoyance, into their eyes, so that they knew it in their hearts.
After seeing Zhen Ronghua nodding lightly to her, the corners of Li Qingmu's mouth provoked a hint of a nonchalant smile.
Emperor Jianning sat beside Li Qingmu and saw Li Qingmu's expression in his eyes. He picked up the wine cup and touched the wine cup in Li Qingmu's hand, and asked with a smile, "Why are you so happy?" ”
Li Qingmu smiled brightly, and after drinking the wine, he replied with bright eyes, "I won't tell you." ”
Emperor Jianning didn't ask deeply, and personally poured wine for Li Qingmu's finished wine cup. After pouring a full glass, he shook the wine jug and asked Lu Shi to refill the wine.
Li Qingmu didn't remember how much wine she drank at the palace banquet, only remembered that in the bright candlelight, the palace banquet was over.
Emperor Jianning hugged her and carried her all the way back to Guanju Palace.
She put her arms around Emperor Jianning's neck, opened her drunken and hazy eyes, and watched the stars in the sky swaying in front of her.
The starry sky in spring is free of impurities, and the sparkling stars seem to be right in front of you.
Li Qingmu raised his tender white hand to grab it, but he couldn't catch the star in his hand even after grabbing it a few times.
Emperor Jianning laughed loudly and asked Li Qingmu, who was full of alcohol, "Mu'er, what are you doing?" ”
Although Li Qingmu was drunk, he was embarrassed to say that he was picking stars. She buried her face in Emperor Jianning's arms and said coquettishly, "Wanyan Zhe, I'm drunk." ”
"You want stars?" Emperor Jianning lowered his head and asked.
Li Qingmu hugged Emperor Jianning's neck and said with a foolish smile, "It's good-looking." ”
"I'll pick it for you."
"Liar, you can't go to heaven."
Emperor Jianning couldn't go to heaven, but he still picked up stars for Li Qingmu.
In the dormitory of the Guan Ju Palace, the dark incense lingers.
After bathing, Li Qingmu, who was very drunk, nested in the arms of Emperor Jianning, looking at the glass bowl full of water in front of him, which was two feet square.
"Wan Yan Zhe, where are your stars?"
Emperor Jianning chuckled, "Don't worry, I'll show you right away." ”
Wen Qing and Zhiliu walked in with a small box, put it on the table on the side of the phoenix couch, extinguished all the candlesticks and retreated.
The dormitory was plunged into pure black.
Emperor Jianning took Li Qingmu into his arms and opened a small box with exquisite carving.
As soon as the lid was opened, the box immediately shone brightly.
Li Qingmu raised his arm to cover his eyes, and after burping, he asked, "Night Pearl?" ”
"Well, the broken pearl of the night." Emperor Jianning poured all the broken particles of the Night Pearl in the box into the glass bowl, and said with a smile, "You broke it, do you remember?" ”
Li Qingmu covered her eyes and nodded, the night pearl was given by Emperor Jianning when she married Mrs. Zhaoyue to Dayue, and she threw it out because she lost her temper with Emperor Jianning.
"Mu'er, you see the stars moving." Emperor Jianning laughed softly, "If you don't look at it, you won't move." ”
Li Qingmu opened his eyes when he heard this, and his gaze fell on the glass bowl.
In the glass bowl, the sparkling fragments of the night pearl thrown into by Emperor Jianning slowly fell in the water, and fell on the bottom of the ink-colored bowl and emitted a bright light, like the stars in the sky.
Li Qingmu sat up slightly straight, looked at the glass bowl and said with a smile, "It's so beautiful, if you take it farther away, it will be more like the starry sky." ”
Emperor Jianning sat in the innermost part of the bed with Li Qingmu in his arms, and said with a smile, "What about this? ”
Li Qingmu nodded again and again, his eyes shining like the brightest stars under the illumination of the night pearl.
"And this." Emperor Jianning opened another box, grabbed a bead and threw it into the glass bowl. The phoenix of the concubine is updated quickly
With a 'bang', the jade beads that do not shine fall into the water, slowly sink to the bottom of the bowl and become the farthest dark star in the sky.
Every time Emperor Jianning threw one, Li Qingmu would silently count it in his heart. When Emperor Jianning threw away a box of beads, she smiled, "One hundred." ”
"Well, a hundred." Emperor Jianning smiled back, "This is a birthday gift for you." ”
Li Qingmu put his arm around Emperor Jianning, burped, and said with a sneer, "Not satisfied." ”
"Not satisfied?" Emperor Jianning raised his eyebrows, "Then what do you want?" ”
Li Qingmu raised his head and kissed Emperor Jianning's lips, and said with a grin, "Wan Yanzhe, I want a princess, you give me a princess." "The second one is offered, all of them are boo, and rest early
(Cover your face, I'll be two shifts today, my stomach hurts badly, and I took medicine and slept...... )
