Chapter 173: Leaning on the railing and not worrying
"The concubine doesn't dare." Gao Lingxi smiled blankly and emptily, but she felt that the corners of her lips were very tight, and she was uncomfortable no matter how she pulled it, losing her usual softness. "Your Majesty, the concubines just feel that they are useless......"
The tail of Hongli's eyes seemed to hold some feelings and couldn't let go, some small lines, just like his heart clenched at the moment. The smell of mare's milk wine was more pronounced than the incense powder she was accustomed to, and if she had not been reluctant, how could she have done so to herself. "I know that you don't drink a drip."
Gao Lingxi nodded, affirming the emperor's statement: "The concubine is indeed not used to wine, she is not used to the spicy taste of wine, and she doesn't like the confusion of being dizzy and not distinguishing things after drinking." But as long as she can choose, the concubine always hopes that she will be clear. ”
The ingredient of qi is obvious, and Hongli is reluctant to talk to her face-to-face. "Now that I understand your mind, I will no longer embarrass you. It's useless to talk too much, just do whatever you want. ”
"Your Majesty......" Gao Lingxi felt that he had not yet said the words in his stomach, and seeing that the emperor was leaving, he was inevitably anxious. Please stay, the concubine still has something to say. As soon as the words came out, Gao Lingxi himself was a little confused, and the emperor said that it was useless to say more, could it be that he was unwilling to open his mind to himself?
Hongli didn't stop, he turned around with a little coldness and coldness, and only said: "The relationship between you and me in the past few years is not like this, and if you continue to talk about it, I am afraid that the original beauty will also be lost and consumed." Since it is not what I want, it is better to say that it is here. ”
is still willing to say these words slowly to himself, is it already very attentive? Gao Lingxi didn't want to watch the emperor go away, she suddenly stood up and rushed straight towards him. He used his slender arms to encircle him from behind, almost using all his strength.
"Your Majesty, concubines are useless, concubines can't give birth to an heir for you. This matter was pierced into the concubine's heart like a thorn. Now, the queen takes care of her concubines in every way, and the sisters in the six palaces all greet each other with smiles and treat them kindly. Even the servants of the Ministry of Internal Affairs picked up the best objects and sent them to the palace of the concubines. All of this is not for the concubine, but for the concubine, who is not pregnant with the emperor's heir at all......"
Gao Lingxi choked so badly that he didn't know that his tears had wet the emperor's dragon robe: "The more graces like this, the more ashamed the concubines are." Behind the smiling face, every moment is sad, and the concubine really feels ashamed of the emperor...... Your Majesty, the concubines are uneasy......"
Hongli used a little force, broke Gao Lingxi's hands, thought slightly, and turned around. "Ling Xi, in the past, when I was in the mansion, I knew that you couldn't have children, but I still canonized you as a side blessing. Do you know why? ”
"The emperor feels sorry for his concubines, and he doesn't want his concubines to be too sad about this!" Gao Lingxi's eyes flashed with a touching brilliance, and he had not dissipated for a long time.
But he shook his head, Hongli didn't agree with her statement. "As a woman, it's really a pity that she can't give birth to an heir for her husband. But Ling Xi, what I value more is you, it's our affection. I just want to tell you that even if I don't have an heir, I still want you to be by my side. ”
I never thought that the emperor would think like this. Gao Lingxi was both moved and grateful, clearly smiling, but tears fell more unscrupulously. "The concubine is confused, the concubine is confused."
"You're not confused, it's me who is confused." Hongli looked at the woman crying in front of him, the anger in his heart gradually dissipated, and the light in his eyes became warm, as if this was his affection for Gao Lingxi. "If I hadn't been confused for a while, you wouldn't have to suffer such a sin for me. I don't understand the grievances in your heart. ”
"As long as the emperor doesn't dislike his concubines." Gao Lingxi wiped away her tears, and the look on her face gradually returned to the same as before. "The emperor has been here for so long, and he hasn't served tea, it's because the concubines have been negligent." Reluctantly grabbed Hongli's hand, Gao Lingxi lowered his eyelids, and looked pitiful: "Your Majesty, don't go, don't go, the concubine will never make you angry again." ”
Hongli took advantage of the situation to hold her to his chest, gently stroked her smooth hair, and sighed softly: "When something like this happens, the first thing I think of is you." Ling Xi, in this harem, there is no more suitable person than you. And I am also selfish in this arrangement, in the harem, there are many unknown whirlpools, and there are heirs to rely on, so that your concubine's position is stable.
Do you understand my painstaking efforts? ”
Gao Lingxi pounded his head like garlic, and nodded again and again: "It's Ling Xi who is not good, and he drilled the tip of the horns." It should be that the emperor dislikes his concubines...... But the concubine was stupid, and only then did she understand your painstaking efforts to the emperor. ”
"That's it, you get it. Later, I will arrange for her to enter the palace and serve you secretly. In this way, we are finally prepared. Hongli gently stroked the blue water on Gao Lingxi's ears, and put his face on her forehead: "Whether you can give birth to an heir for me or not, I hope you can be by my side for a long time." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Gao Lingxi finally held back the tears and broke the embankment again. Moved and intertwined with grievances, I can't tell what it's like. But in fact, she was unwilling to give birth to someone else's child for the emperor. Whatever the reason, she didn't want to.
As soon as she remembered that she had a cotton cloth bag stuffed in her belly, but the flesh and blood of the emperor's relatives in the abdomen of others, Gao Lingxi couldn't wait to shake it out. But she still understands in the end. Without a high bulging abdomen, maybe you don't even have the imperial grace anymore. The consequences of this made her scared and heartbroken.
"How?" Jin Peizi grabbed Huilan, who was returning in a hurry, and hurriedly asked.
Hui Lan's eyes rolled, and she said seriously: "Niangniang, your guess is good, the emperor really went to Huiguifei Niangniang." I haven't come out yet. ”
"I'll just say, what can escape the emperor's eyes." Jin Peizi didn't say anything, just smiled calmly.
"How do slaves and maids feel confused?" Hui Lan was puzzled: "Not long after Concubine Hui returned to the palace, the emperor hurried over to take a look. Not to mention anything else for the time being, just the smell of wine from Concubine Hui's mother, it is impossible for the emperor not to notice it. But the slave maid made people stare at it, only saying that it was very quiet in Chuxiu Palace, and there was no will.
Could it be that the emperor knows that Hui Guifei Niangniang is not to blame for drinking and hurting the fetus, this is unavoidable...... The slave and maid have never seen it, and there is a strange scene that the imperial heir is not as important as the concubine. ”
"You girl, where are you talking so much." Jin Peizi reprimanded unhappily: "Are you an ordinary concubine with a foxy face when you think Hui Guifei?" If she dared to drink the whole half jar of mare's milk wine, she must have expected what the consequences would be. In other words, all this is simply a trick she has done, the purpose is to lure you into the urn. See, there's a good show. ”
Hui Lan was taken aback, and his face turned pale: "In addition to the emperor, only you and Hai Guiren are the only ones who know that Concubine Hui is drinking." If it is really as you say, the concubine has a heart, then she wants to invite you into the urn, should she be aiming at you, right? Besides, the nobles of the sea are not fuel-efficient lamps. Even if you don't have the heart to compete with the concubine, she can also blame you for the disaster, Niangniang seems that we must come up with good countermeasures to prevent it. ”
Jin Peizi disagreed, and pursed her lips indifferently. "You're kind, but it's a pity that your eyes aren't poisonous enough and not bright enough. Do you think that because I am still a nobleman of the sea, it is worth the concubine to make such a big move and take the risk? I'm afraid what she thinks is not so simple at all. ”
With a slight touch of the lip flap, Jin Peizi saw Xiao Luzi leading Xue Guining in. The melancholy on his face disappeared in an instant, replaced by joy and surprise: "Why did Grandpa Xue come over on the snow at this time, but what did the queen mother command?" ”
Xue Guining knocked down a thousand children, and saluted in a regular manner before saying: "Concubine Jia, the queen said that she invited you to go to Changchun Palace." Because of the slippery road after the snow, I specially asked the slave to prepare a shoulder to pick you up properly. ”
"The queen's mother is thoughtful, it is really a blessing for the concubine." Jin Peizi couldn't help but be polite, she knew in her heart that the queen must be suspicious of the disappearance of Concubine Hui. Because the words were passed on by Huilan, he knew about it, and he had to meet the queen to make it clear.
What's more, the queen is ready even on her shoulders, that is, tell herself, don't think about being able to shirk. "In that case, then please wait a while, and let the concubine change into decent clothes, so as not to lose her dignity." Jin Peizi stood up and said to Xiao Luzi with a smile: "Greet my father-in-law to drink hot tea to drive away the cold, and the palace will arrive later." ”
"Concubine Jia is polite, the slave is waiting outside." Xue Guining did things for the queen, and he didn't dare to show half of his arrogance. has always been polite to the concubines and the little masters. Besides, this concubine is also a neighbor of the queen's mother, so she really can't be offended. Thinking like this, the smile on Xue Guining's face became a little more polite.
"Just take that set of flag costumes with dark flowers and vine patterns, and you don't have to be too eye-catching to go to the queen's Changchun Palace." Jin Peizi always felt very strange, according to common sense, the queen is not impatient. But in fact, it was only a little more time before I went back to the dormitory and drank hot tea.
The queen can't bear it anymore, could it be that she already saw the clues?
This really made it difficult for Jin Peizi. Originally, Concubine Hui's affairs really had nothing to do with her. Whether you are really pregnant or pretend to be pregnant is not in your way at all. But if you don't tell the truth in front of the queen, it doesn't matter if the queen doesn't count, if she does, I'm afraid she will go around inside.
Running out of ideas for a while, Jin Peizi looked at Huilan who was changing her clothes, and asked: "I can't afford to offend either of the queen and Hui Guifei, but I want to choose one of the two, Huilan, what do you think I should do?" ”
