Chapter 20: Misfortune (2)
This will is something that Wei Qingguan has been thinking about for a long time in his heart, when he saw the once invincible Li Zhaoyi being rejected by Dongfang Chen outside the door of the imperial study, Wei Qingguan had this plan in his heart, and it was rare for Dongfang Chen to mention it himself, so she pushed the boat and said it.
Thinking that her wish should have surprised Dongfang Chen, Dongfang Chen frowned lightly at this moment and didn't say a word, but Su Hao took the first step to quip, "The queen is the mother of the world, and now she is in love with the emperor, how can she still ask for something?" ”
Su Hao felt for a moment that this woman's mind was too deep, if the emperor really allowed these three wishes that did not hurt heaven and reason, she really promised tricky in the future, would the emperor allow it? But looking at her harmless face, I don't know what she plans to do, so I want to give it a try at this moment.
"The human heart is always insatiable, and the world will only ask for more and more, so how can they feel that they have too little? I am the queen, but I am also a mortal, I am afraid that one day the rookie is on the side, the emperor will dislike me, and I am afraid that the rookie will be pampered and arrogant, and I will bully others, and I will not even have a place to hide, so take advantage of the current pampering and ask for a life talisman is always good, after all, the world is unpredictable! ”
Wei Qingguan's words were frank and unrestrained, which made Su Hao, who was originally deliberately tempting, a little stunned, while Dongfang Chen pulled his lips and reached out to pat Wei Qingguan's head, causing Wei Qingguan to stare at him with horizontal eyes.
"I don't know what I'm thinking all day long, who is disgusted with you, don't worry about it, you are the queen, I won't allow anyone to bully you!"
Wei Qingguan pulled his lips and didn't gain an inch, originally he was just talking, and he never thought that the emperor would agree so readily.
And Su Hao heard that she alone had stirred up the entire Wei Mansion into a miasma, thinking that the emperor was about to draft again, and when she thought about opening such a mouth with the emperor for fear of being a resentful woman in the boudoir again, she slightly relaxed her eyebrows, and after Dongfang Chen heard the words, she remembered that she had ignored her for six years After being silent for a moment, she said lightly.
"Think about this wish of yours." Then he was silent
The two of them left after using up a cup of tea in the Yongning Palace, Dongfang Chen went to the Taihe Palace, and Su Hao was accompanied by Li Mo to Concubine Ying's Yongle Palace, so that the two brothers and sisters could talk and reminisce.
Before leaving, Su Hao specially asked Wei Qingguan for a bottle of bubble water, saying that it was for the little princess to play, and Wei Qingguan happily took a bottle and handed it to Su Hao.
In the Yongle Palace, Concubine Ying, who was in a soothing body, was lying on the chaise longue in the inner room, her face pale. Since she gave birth to the eldest princess Caiwei, she has always had abdominal pain every time she is young, and she doesn't know how many decoctions she has to drink to relieve it.
Concubine Ying, who had just drunk the medicine, finally lost the pain, heard that the elder brother had been allowed by the emperor to speak here, and she was very happy in her heart, and she sat up strongly, but her expression was still not good.
As soon as Su Hao entered the house, he saw a small head poking out from behind the screen, Dongfang Caiwei, the only princess under Dongfang Chen's knees, titled Anning, just turned four years old, Yuxue was cute at a young age, bright eyes and bright teeth, pink and white, and those watery eyes were full of careful thoughts at the moment, looking at his uncle slyly.
Su Hao beckoned lightly, and the small figure had already fluttered up, and said sweetly, "Uncle......"
Su Hao's heart was heartbroken by that uncle's call, the little guy looked very much like Concubine Ying when she was a child, which reminded Su Hao of when she was a child, always chasing her sister behind him, he was recalling his childhood, the little figure on his body had already started to say, "Uncle, when you and your father came just now, I was studying in the study, I thought I wouldn't see you anymore, tell me, what gifts did you bring me this time, tell me quickly!" ”
As soon as she got on Su Hao's body, Princess An Ning unceremoniously asked her uncle for a gift, and the two uncles and nephews made a fuss outside the screen for a long time, which made Concubine Ying on the chaise longue smile again and again.
Putting down the little man in his hand, Su Hao took out an ivory dagger from his arms, the shell of the dagger was embedded with many fine gems, the workmanship was exquisite, and it was not ordinary at first glance.
Princess An Ning was immediately attracted by this colorful gem, looked directly at her uncle, and said happily, "Uncle still loves me, I like this." ”
"Brother, An Ning is still young, you give this to her, what if she accidentally cuts herself, you spoil her too much." Seeing that Princess An Ning was happy, Concubine Ying just pulled her lips and said impatiently.
"It's okay, the dagger doesn't have a blade, it won't hurt people, is it a toy for girls, it's nothing. It's you, the problem of sitting down at that time, why did I see it getting worse and worse, is it useless to take the medicine prescribed by the doctor? Knowing what her sister was worried about, Su Hao was relieved.
"As the old saying goes, if you sit down in confinement, you need to be treated in confinement. In the past, I didn't have the courage to have another child, but now I'm afraid that there is no chance, in the past two months, the emperor has eaten and lived in the Yongning Palace, and no other place in the palace has ever set foot in it, and even Li Zhaoyi, who is pregnant, has only symbolically sent something. In the future, when the rookie enters the palace, there will be no place for us in the past, but fortunately, there is peace, in fact, there is nothing, take medicine and boil it up, and it will be fine! ”
She was really scared when she was born at peace, but fortunately, she gave birth to such a baby in nine deaths, and it was worth it, she had secretly conditioned her body over the years, but she had never been lucky enough to be pregnant, like accepting her fate, Concubine Ying smiled lightly and ordered Lilac to serve tea.
After sitting down, Su Hao lowered his eyebrows and pondered, and the cuffs under the strong suit revealed the bottle of bubble water that he and the queen wanted, An Ning's sharp eyes suddenly found it, and hurriedly put down the ivory dagger in his hand, took the bubble water in his hand and asked his uncle what this was?
"Shicai followed the emperor to the Yongning Palace for dinner, and when she saw the queen's mother teasing the little prince with this, she thought that An Ning would definitely like it, so she was cheeky and begged for a bottle like the queen, and forgot about it as soon as she spoke."
Su Hao doted on Princess An Ning's nose, and then learned from Wei Qingguan's appearance to tell An Ning how to blow bubbles.
Xu was infected by Anning's laughter, Concubine Ying's pale face had a little complexion, because she had something to say to her brother, so she instructed the nurse and mother to let them take the princess out, and then after holding back left and right, she opened her mouth to Su Hao.
"How many times has my brother met the queen?"
Since Wei Qingguan woke up, she casually didn't need the concubines to ask her for peace every day, only occasionally saw them a few times because of some trivial matters in the harem, but every time they met, they were just talking about serious things, in private, Concubine Ying had never had anything to do with Wei Qingguan, but I heard that in the imperial study, Wei Qingguan had a dispute with her brother, and she was curious, so Concubine Ying asked.
"Twice." Su Hao said bluntly.
"What does my brother think of the current queen?" Concubine Ying continued to ask.
"What do you mean by sister?" Taking a sip of the tea in the cup, Su Hao didn't know what to do, frowned slightly, and asked.
"It's nothing, my brother has seen the queen twice, so I want to ask you what you think of her."
"The queen's style of acting since she woke up is too unexpected, her fiery temperament is unpredictable, and the emperor's attitude towards her is also intriguing?"
"Brother knows, our emperor is too thoughtful, I'm afraid that even the queen who has lived again can't see through it, after all, an emperor who can even calculate his own sister......" Concubine Min covered her lower abdomen with her hands, took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, but she didn't know that the more she said, the more Su Hao, who was sitting opposite, darkened her face.
"Don't talk nonsense!" Before he finished speaking, Su Hao stretched out his hand and directly covered Concubine Ying's mouth, glared sharply, and then looked around the window and said softly, "There are some things that we can know in our hearts, and we must not say it outside, if we say it, it will be a disaster of death." ”
"My sister has always been cautious, why did she speak openly today."
"It's just that my heart is not happy, but I am going to die in this deep palace in this life, it is rare that you can nag and nag you when you enter the palace, and you have lost your sense of proportion all of a sudden." Concubine Ying knew that she had lost her words, and after she was silent, her brows furrowed and she was sullen.
She has been free and easy on the battlefield with her father and brother since she was a child, and at the age of fourteen, she was given to the emperor who was still the crown prince by an edict from the first emperor and became a side concubine.
"My brother knows that you are wronged, and for the sake of the Su family, you are living such a life in this harem, and it is your father and brother who are sorry for you. Fortunately, the emperor has never treated you poorly, as long as your father and brother are always loyal to the emperor, your life here is always good, for the sake of the Su family, my brother can only live with you, but you must know that even if you know some things, you can only rot in your stomach......"
Knowing that her sister was wronged, Su Hao first comforted her after a long sigh in her heart, and then admonished her as a brother.
Don't say what else to do, the children of the family can't escape this regardless of whether they want to or not, they are considered to be fateful, they live alone in a palace with a woman, and the emperor has never treated them badly.
"My sister knows, and my sister is just depressed, so I'm confused, don't worry, I won't be in the future." Concubine Ying put aside the unhappiness in her heart and assured her brother again.
Su Hao took her hand and patted her hand gently, as if she had done something wrong to find herself when she was a child, so that she could calm down, the brother and sister stopped talking, and there was silence in the room.
Concubine Ying was about to ask about the situation in her brother's house, when a grandmother's hurried shout came from outside the door: "Niangniang...... Empress...... Oh no, the little princess and the eldest prince had an argument in the imperial garden, and the eldest prince shook a handful of pollen, and somehow attracted a large group of wild bees and stung the princess......"
