Chapter 228: Another day of coldness
Bai Suyu was worried about saying goodbye to the queen, so she got up early and dressed up. After all, it was the first time to meet the queen, and there should be no less etiquette. Facing her delicate self in the mirror, she took down a bead flower pinned to her sideburns, remembering that her father had told her before entering the palace that the queen was the least fond of extravagance.
Ding Lan was startled when he pushed open the door, the nobleman actually got up early and was already dressed up. "Nobleman, why did you get up so early and didn't call Ding Lan to come and wait?"
"It's okay, I've cleaned up my own. Thinking that he wanted to say goodbye to the queen, he didn't dare to slack off and got up early. Bai Suyu didn't mind Ding Lan's late arrival, in fact, if it weren't for the fact that the emperor of this dynasty didn't like the palace concubines to bring her own girls into the palace, she really wanted to lead the girls who had been serving her in.
It seems that the people and things in the palace are unfamiliar and make people a little scared. Bai Suyu always feels that she is not as good as the duckweed on the water, so she has something to rely on, even if she flows with the water. She always felt that she was hanging in the air at all, her heart and body were swaying in the wind, and she was going to fall and bruise all over her body.
With a gloomy face, Ding Lan looked a little unnatural, and after thinking about it, he still said in a muffled voice: "It's not good to be a slave, you rested early yesterday." The slave did not disturb your dreams. Changyin Pavilion had a bit of a mess yesterday, and the queen had already made a decree to dismiss the harem concubines from the harem in the past few days, and a group of palace concubines from the six palaces in the east and west were waiting in the palace. ”
Before entering the palace, there was chaos in the palace! Bai Suyu took a deep breath, and seeing that Ding Lan's face was not so ordinary, she said cautiously: "I may not ask, but I can't help but be curious." That's it, Ding Lan, if you can say it, you can say it, if you can't, it's good if I haven't asked. ”
With her eyebrows lowered slightly, Bai Suyu approached Ding Lan and asked in a low voice, "What kind of mess is it, does it matter?" ”
"The slave didn't dare to hide the nobles, and I heard the letter that came back that when Changyin Pavilion was listening to the play, a female official in front of the palace died. And it's still poisoned. "Ding Lan is scheming in the end, those alarmist and untrue words, she didn't pop out of her mouth a word, and she finally had no tongue.
"Got it." Bai Suyu smiled gently, and she didn't feel annoyed. Although the work of getting up in the morning was in vain, since the queen mother has a decree, she just does what she is told, and it will not be wrong. "Jingren Palace is the only one who gives me a place to live alone, so it can't help but seem a little deserted."
Ding Lan didn't know whether this Bai Guiren was intentional or unintentional, and casually mentioned the taboo of the harem during his conversation. This Jingren Palace used to live in the concubine Huang. The masters and little masters in the harem are all unlucky, who wants to come here to accompany them. Of course, Ding Lan didn't dare to mention these words, so he only smiled: "The emperor and the queen both favor nobles, so they will clean up Jingren Palace and give it to nobles to live in."
You see, the furnishings and supplies in this room should all be new, and you are also a noble person, and you deserve such a blessing. ”
Bai Xuyu gently stroked the dresser in front of her, which was a very good Huanghuali: "Fortunately, I will have you and me as my companion in the days to come, and my heart will not be so lonely." ”
also got up early and dressed up, as well as Lan Xin. At this moment, she held on to the cold window lattice, looking at the rising red sun outside the window, together with the clouds dyed by orange light, her eyes were full of sorrow.
Suo Lan came in with a cup of hot tea and gently rested it on the small table on the couch. Thinking that the queen must be quiet at this time, and she didn't want to be disturbed, she tiptoed around and left.
Lan Xin still heard the sound of her clothes rubbing when she walked, sighed, and asked, "Is the emperor already in the court at this time?" ”
"Where is it so early, mother." Suo Lan curled his lips and said softly: "Although the fourth watch will go to court, the emperor has every opportunity, and there are always unfinished political affairs in the main hall of the Qianqing Palace, so don't worry." ”
Lan Xin listened to her words, and the sourness in her eyes surged up again, was it really just that she was anxious? Why is it so obvious that it is not his own heart, and the emperor still wants to misunderstand it? "Don't bother this palace, Suo Lan."
"Slaves don't dare." Suo Lan lowered his head, feeling a little uneasy. "Niangniang, the emperor was angry yesterday. The slave always feels that the emperor does not treat you as a person, so he will be angry with you. After all, if you don't treat each other sincerely, you won't care so much. ”
This sounds a little familiar, as if she said it to Concubine Xian. Lan Xin pursed her chapped lips and said softly: "This palace is not a concubine, and if you collide with the emperor, you can't be pardoned at will like Concubine Xian." This palace is the queen, and in the eyes of the emperor, she can only be dignified and generous, filial piety and virtuous queen. ”
A little speechless, Suo Lan knew that the queen was really sad. In fact, she knows far less about the emperor than the queen does. Speechless for a while, she could only smile softly, hoping that when the queen was sad, she could see a touch of comfort.
Xue Guining bowed down and walked in at this time: "Queen Mother Wan'an." ”
"Is there any news?" Lan Xin's wet eyes flowed with a hint of hope.
"Back to the queen's mother, the slave followed Li Yu back and forth to check the heart palace and the imperial dining room. From the imperial kitchen to the minions who passed the meal and tested the poison, they all checked and questioned, and there was no abnormality. And since the violent death of the female official in front of the emperor to this day, no one has moved, and there is no clue. ”
Lan Xin sincerely admired the Queen Mother's powerful means. I am afraid that this net was sown more than a month ago, or even earlier. So before Mo Sansan's death, all traces were wiped out. Lan Xin was depressed in her heart, and she was involved in her relationship with the emperor, so she couldn't figure out the queen mother's plan for a while. "What did the emperor say?"
Lan Xin pinned the only hope in his heart on the emperor. Li Yu couldn't find out what happened to Mo Sang's poisoning, it didn't matter, as long as the emperor figured out her sincerity.
Xue Guining didn't know how to answer, so he said with a heavy face: "The slave and Li Yu returned to the emperor together, but the emperor just bowed his head and didn't have anything to say. ”
"Got it." The light of gas in Lan Xin's eyes was blown out with a pop in an instant. It seems that it is not caused by the wind chill, but by human affection. Is the emperor's heart really so hard?
"Niangniang, it's better for the slave to accompany you to the Heart Cultivation Palace. When they meet, the emperor will always look at the past love and listen to the words of the mother...... "Suo Lan thought that the life between the emperor and the queen was just due to a misunderstanding. And the best way to clear up misunderstandings is to be open and honest about what you want to say.
Lan Xin shook his head and said solemnly: "This palace said very clearly in front of the emperor, if this matter is not clarified, I will not take half a step out of Changchun Palace." If the emperor doesn't come, the palace can only wait. Not to mention ......"
What's more, the emperor is not an ordinary husband, not a husband who can talk about everything to his wife. He is the Son of Heaven first, his master, and finally the pillow man. If he doesn't want to open up, no matter how much he says it, no matter how nice it sounds.
"Niangniang, you stayed up all night last night, and you were a lot haggard." Suo Lan had an idea: "It's better for the slave to go and ask Imperial Doctor Cao to come over and take a look at you." I thought that if the emperor knew that the queen mother was sick, his heart would inevitably soften. It's just a breath of anger, how can you get rid of the love for more than ten years.
Lan Xin was a little moved by this method, although she knew that the emperor really couldn't let go of Nian's death for a while. But she still wants to see the emperor very much, and she really wants to tell her in person the grievances in her heart.
The heart still couldn't resist the urge to think about him, Lan Xin nodded silently with tears.
Suo Lan then said: "The queen mother will rest for the time being, and the slave will go." ”
Xue Guining also raised his spirit and echoed: "Niangniang, the slave will follow and take care of it." ”
Looking at their eager figures, Lan Xin was suddenly afraid. What if the emperor refuses to come?
"Hui Guifei Niangniang is blessed." Chen Qingqing walked to Gao Lingxi's side lightly with joyful steps, and blessed her obediently and enthusiastically.
Gao Lingxi thought that the queen's decree was a word, and there was no one in the harem who didn't know the depth like her, so she walked out of her bedroom at will, wandering around as she wanted. Unexpectedly, the always silent Wan Guiren would be so bold. "Wan Guiren, why are you here? Don't you know the queen's will? ”
"How dare the concubines not obey the queen's will, but the concubines of the six palaces are all closed, and this imperial garden is equivalent to no one. And it makes no difference between a concubine wandering in the royal garden where no one is around, or passing the time in her own bedroom. Chen Qingqing raised her head with a smile, only glanced at Concubine Hui, and lowered her eyes with self-pity. Dare to ask Hui Guifei Niangniang, did the concubine sweep away the interest of Niangniang? ”
Listening to her words, there was some truth, Gao Lingxi pulled her eyebrows: "Xu you are right, if the heart is lonely, there is no difference everywhere." Why should it be so clear. ”
"Look, mother." Chen Qingqing raised his hand slightly and pointed ahead.
Gao Lingxi looked over, and the person who was in a hurry seemed to be Suo Lan of Changchun Palace. "Where are you going in such a hurry?"
Chen Qingqing sneered and said lightly: "It doesn't matter where you go, what matters is that you can make the emperor change his mind." ”
With awe-inspiring eyes, Gao Lingxi glanced at the noble man cautiously: "What a vicious mouth, how come this palace didn't find out that the noble man had such a ability before." ”
Chen Qingqing shook his head disapprenously: "The concubine has long been forgotten by the emperor, and she has never dared to expect anything, but she just had a few words with her mother." The concubine retired. ”
It seemed that he was very decisive, Gao Lingxi looked at the figure of the noble man who was far away, and his heart sank slightly: "Bi Lan, accompany the palace to the Heart Cultivation Palace." ”
