Chapter XXVIII

It's not the 15th Festival, what kind of lanterns do you enjoy? Although the concubines had doubts in their hearts, they still came to Yongkang Palace early at the invitation of Empress Dowager Cui.

Empress Dowager Cui was wearing a formal suit, with a high bun on her head, a nine-tailed phoenix hairpin in the middle, and a few hairpins made of pure gold on her left sideburns, and the whole person looked radiant.

This grandmother stood on the left side of the Empress Dowager Cui, and the whole person was also dressed brightly.

Rui King Li Chenfeng entered the palace as early as two days ago, and has been living in the Yongshou Palace for the past two days. At this time, he was sitting not far from the Empress Dowager Cui eating tea, and saw Queen Wang come in and greet Queen Wang, and the other concubines didn't even look at it.

All the concubines and concubines all know the character of King Rui, and he was brought up by the Empress Dowager Cui herself, so no one cares.

Queen Wang took all the concubines to sit down according to their positions, and Lingxi took a few little palace maids to serve tea to the concubines and concubines, and asked the little palace maids to retreat, and she stood on the right side of the Empress Dowager Cui.

With a proper smile on her face, Queen Wang said to Empress Dowager Cui, "The queen mother has been in the palace for three days, which really makes her sons miss it." ”

Empress Dowager Cui's eyes were bright, and she smiled and said to Queen Wang, "Come if you want to, you are the queen of the first palace, can the mourning family stop you?" ”

When the queen heard this, her face was a little sneering. Although she didn't come to the Yongshou Palace in person, the concubine went to the Yongshou Palace early to explore the wind. The concubine has no daughters under her knees, and she is a die-hard queen party, so you can understand what it means at a glance.

"The son is afraid of disturbing the peace of the queen mother." The queen bowed her head and said obediently.

"The mourners know your heart." Empress Dowager Cui nodded with a smile.

Hui Guifei is the most enthusiastic among the concubines, wearing a hairpin made of Dongzhu from Emperor Yonghe's new reward, as soon as she moves, the Dongzhu will shake gently as if she is alive, like the dew on the lotus leaf.

Concubine Hui smiled flatteringly, "Queen Mother, you said that you appreciate the lantern, today is not the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, what kind of lantern shall we appreciate?" Moreover," Concubine Hui pointed to the outside of the Changle Hall and said, "There are no lights in that courtyard." ”

Empress Dowager Cui pointed her finger at Hui Guifei and said to Queen Wang with a smile, "This girl is just thinking about playing!" ”

Concubine Hui pouted, and said coquettishly without waiting for Queen Wang to speak, "Queen Mother, you shut up the palace door and messed with it, the concubines have long been curious about what it is." ”

The concubines and concubines saw that the Empress Dowager Cui was in good spirits, and there were people who were talking and laughing, so they all opened the chatterbox. The words revealed their yearning for the lamp, as if they knew what the Empress Dowager Cui had been doing in the past three days when she closed the palace gate.

Li Chenfeng couldn't swallow the tea when he looked at the flattering expressions of the concubines, so he said to the Empress Dowager Cui, "Imperial grandmother, my grandson feels a little hot, go outside for a walk, and I'll be back in a while." ”

Empress Dowager Cui smiled and nodded, and said, "Put on a cloak, don't catch a cold." After a while, your father and the emperor will come, and the mourning family will send someone to call you. As he spoke, he said to Lingxi, "Ling'er, you take the two little eunuchs to follow King Rui, don't go far." ”

Lingxi Fu said yes and went out after Li Chenfeng.

In the Changle Palace, the concubines began to turn the topic to Li Chenfeng. It is nothing more than that King Rui is young, his body is strong, and he is not afraid of the cold. As he spoke, he talked about the heirs, saying that King Rui had been married for half a year, why hadn't Princess Rui's stomach moved......

Li Chenfeng's pace was like the wind, and he couldn't wait to leave all those words behind him.

Lingxi's body was short, and he trotted all the way behind Li Chenfeng. When he looked up and saw that Li Chenfeng had stopped in front of the porch, his feet were unstable, and he suddenly hit Li Chenfeng's back.

Li Chenfeng's body was strong and fine, but Lingxi was rebounded by that force and sat on the ground all of a sudden.

Before Li Chenfeng's brows could be furrowed, Lingxi hurriedly knelt on the ground and pleaded guilty.

There was no one outside the Changle Hall in the night, and Li Chenfeng said angrily, "How can you be a slave, you can't even walk steadily!" ”

Lingxi was frightened by Li Chenfeng, and he didn't understand why this good prince, who was always smiling on weekdays, was so irritable today.

"The road is unsteady, and you can't speak?"

Lingxi hurriedly kowtowed, buried his face in the cold ground, and said uncontrollably, "Slave damned!" Slaves and maids should be damned! ”

"Humph!" Li Chenfeng shook his sleeves and left.

Seeing that Li Chenfeng was gone, Lingxi hurriedly called the two little eunuchs to follow him from afar.

Li Chenfeng walked out of Yongshou Palace and walked a few steps in the direction of Changxin Palace, and before he reached the palace entrance of Changxin Palace, he turned around and walked back.

Lingxi was afraid of bumping into Li Chenfeng again, so he took two little eunuchs to stand on the snowdrift on the side of the road. When Li Chenfeng strode back to Yongshou Palace, Lingxi followed with the little eunuch.

Li Chen gritted his teeth, stopped and said to Lingxi, "You minion! The king in this palace is more familiar than you, so you don't need to follow. ”

Lingxi stepped back, retreated to a safe distance, and did not speak, only lowered his head.

Li Chenfeng also knew that Lingxi had to follow the orders of the Empress Dowager Cui, but he was not happy in his heart.

After walking around the Yongshou Palace a few times, Li Chenfeng finally stopped in front of the Wutong Hall where he used to live.

The little eunuch handed the cloak that he had been holding in his hand to Lingxi, and Lingxi carefully held it in front of Li Chenfeng.

Li Chenfeng said impatiently, "This king is not cold. ”

After hearing this, Lingxi turned around and handed the cloak to the little eunuch guarding next to him, and retreated to a safe distance and bowed his head silently.

Li Chenfeng raised his eyebrows, looking at the palace maid in front of him, he didn't know what he was calculating.

Although Lingxi lowered his head, he also felt Li Chenfeng's scrutinizing gaze.

Half a day later, Li Chenfeng squinted his eyes and asked, "Those ice lanterns, are you your idea?" ”

Lingxi bent his knees, blessed a blessing and said, "Let the prince smile." ”

"The imperial grandmother is very happy, it seems that you are very good at pleasing the master. What a good intention......"

This is definitely not a good word, so Lingxi just blessed his body and stopped talking.

Li Chenfeng thought about it for a long time, and said to the two little eunuchs, "You stand farther away, I have something to say to her." ”

After the little eunuch walked away, Li Chenfeng approached Lingxi, and his eyes sparkled in the night.

Lingxi only felt that King Rui's breath was like Mount Tai pressing down, and it was so heavy that she couldn't breathe.

Li Chenfeng saw that Lingxi was scared, and after a while, he chuckled lightly and said loudly, "Grandmother Huang allowed you to go to Qingle Palace?" ”

Lingxi took two steps back, and replied in a regular manner, "The Queen Mother hangs the child in Mei Jieyu's womb, so Xu Nuwen will visit every few days." ”

Li Chenfeng put his hands behind his back, gently tapped the back of his right hand with his left fingers, and asked after a long time of silence, "Then, do you know Yizhu Palace?" ”

Lingxi's heart trembled, and he replied cautiously, "The Yizhu Hall is the west side hall of Qingle Palace. When the slave maid went to the Ruyi Hall to greet Mei Jieyu, she had a few glances from a distance, and the green bamboo in it was very good-looking. ”

"And do you know who lives in it?" Li Chenfeng asked.

Lingxi subconsciously took a step back, and said in a trembling voice, "The slave doesn't know." ”

"I really don't know?" Li Chenfeng's voice was three points colder.

Lingxi knelt on the ground with a puff, holding the cold snow with both hands, and said tremblingly, "The slave really doesn't know. ”

Li Chenfeng squatted down, picked up Lingxi's chin with his fingers, let Lingxi look directly into his eyes, and said, "Help this king do one thing, in the future, when you reach the age and leave the palace, this king will reward you with a hundred taels of gold and thousands of acres of fertile land." ”

Lingxi's mind moved.

One hundred taels of gold and thousands of acres of fertile land are enough for their family to eat and drink for a lifetime. But with such a huge return, the relative risk can be imagined.

There is only an unknown princess living in the bamboo hall, and this Rui Wang will not let her kill the existence of the nameless princess because it insults the dignity of the royal family. Killing people in the palace, I'm afraid she has a life to take money and not a life to spend.

Seeing that the expression in Lingxi's eyes changed a few times, Li Chenfeng pressed the fingers of his right hand hard, gritted his teeth and said, "This matter can only be known to you, I know." If anyone else knows, the king will not admit that he instructed you to do so. Even if it is your imperial grandmother's powerful palace maid, no one will believe your words. ”

Lingxi's jaw hurt so badly that his eyes couldn't help but dazzle, and he nodded to Li Chenfeng again and again, "The slave will definitely not say it to others." ”

The chill in Li Chenfeng's eyes was too familiar, it was murderous. If she doesn't agree, I'm afraid I'll be hanging here today.

"The Imperial Grandmother is not allowed to say it!" Li Chenfeng asked again. Seeing Lingxi's hesitation, Li Chenfeng suddenly relaxed the strength of his fingers, wiped Lingxi's smooth chin and said with a smile, "If you tell the imperial grandmother, this king will tell the imperial grandmother that you seduced this king and want to be the king's side concubine......"

Exercise! Lingxi cursed in his heart. She has seen a lot of people with hearts since she crossed over to the Dashun Dynasty, but it is the first time she has seen such a disdainful and unscrupulous person with no lower limit. Empress Dowager Cui was already dissatisfied with Mei Jieyu's charm of Emperor Yonghe, if King Rui said that she would also follow the same path as Mei Jieyu, she would have to be beaten to death with a stick.

This trick is really ruthless, and it can easily squeeze the death hole of the spirit rhino tightly.

Li Chenfeng touched the right hand of Lingxi's chin and couldn't help but pause, in the hazy night, he actually saw a killing intent in the eyes of this little palace maid. That killing intent shouldn't have been what a nine-year-old cowardly palace maid should have, more like a killer who kills people.

When Li Chenfeng came back to his senses, he looked again, but saw that Lingxi's eyes were full of tears, his face was pale, his lips trembled, and he said in a trembling voice, "Slave, slave maid listens to King Rui's dispatch." ”

It must be that he was wrong, Li Chenfeng comforted himself and said, it's just a little palace maid, how can there be murderous intent? The weather was so cold, so cold that he thought that this chill was coming from the little palace maid in front of him.

Seeing someone running in the direction of the Wutong Hall in the distance, Li Chenfeng stood up and waved his hand at Lingxi, "You get up." ”

Lingxi kowtowed and stood up tremblingly, his fingernails piercing his palms in his wide sleeves.

"Lord Rui," Qian Weishi ran over from afar, and asked for an afterword, "Lord Rui, the emperor has arrived, and the Queen Mother invites King Rui to go back and enjoy the lanterns together." ”
