Chapter 300: Closing the Net (1)
Ruyi followed Lin'er to the study for a few days, and every day the Jing nobles would bring food, and even brought fresh items that children liked, but that day Tuoba Lin saw He Xi like that, how dare he touch it again.
Although Gongsun Bo is upright and upright, but he is also extremely eye-catching, after a few times, seeing that Tuoba Lin did not move those things, Ruyi's expression was also flat, and he already knew the probable in his heart, and when Yanluo came again, Gongsun Bo took advantage of the fact that people were not paying attention and said: "Go back and tell Jingyi, don't send things over." β
Yanluo smiled softly and said: "The little master is also distressed by the master, the little master can't come over from time to time, so he can only take this opportunity to chat for comfort." β
Gongsun Bo frowned slightly, and he said suspiciously: "Jingyi won't know what I mean, and you told her all the original words, what is right and wrong, she will naturally understand." Let's go backβ"
Seeing that the old man was angry, Yanluo didn't dare to argue anymore, so she had to carry something back.
When she arrived at Zhaohua Palace, Gongsun Shiyin saw that she came back so soon, so she smiled and said, "But my father said that you should never go again?" β
Yanluo said a little dejectedly: "Why does the little master know that he still asks the slave maid to send food?" β
Gongsun Jingyi's smile was a hint of calculation, and she said word by word: "I just want Concubine Xi to think that I intend to get close to the eldest prince, so that she will go to great lengths to protect the eldest prince, and she will show her flawsββ"
Yanluo nodded as if she didn't understand, and then said: "However, now that Concubine Xi is pregnant, Your Majesty also attaches great importance to Concubine Xi, if we stretch out our hands, wouldn't it be if we find out on our headsββ"
Gongsun Jingyi sneered and said, "Who said I was going to do it myself? β
Yan Luo was stunned, only to hear Gongsun Jingyi say with a smile: "The real boss on the battlefield does not necessarily have to go into battle to kill the enemy, charge ahead, sit firmly in the military tent, and strategize is the power, and the same is true in the harem." β
Yan Luo only felt incomprehensible, her own little master compared this harem to the battlefield, but she didn't agree, the battlefield can still be above board, clear and clear, but the harem is not like this, you don't know if the person who talks to you today is not the person who sticks a knife in the back tomorrow and gives you a fatal blow.
Time flickered, half a month has passed, the child in He Xi's womb is already four months old, Cai Lian and Fu Lu have been familiar with each other for a while, and they can be independent, Ruyi returned to He Xi's side to serve, and saw He Xi sitting by the window, so he stepped forward and said: "Niangniang, it's November soon, it looks like it's going to snow, don't you catch a cold-"
He Xi shook his head slightly and said, "It's okay, Imperial Doctor Lu has said that pregnant women are prone to body heat, and this cold is not in the way." β
Ruyi couldn't resist her, so she had to move the brazier closer, the window was half-closed, leaving only a gap to see the outside scenery clearly, she half-leaned down, squatted beside He Xi and said softly: "Imperial Doctor Lu said before, the first three months are the most dangerous, fortunately, we have survived, in the past few months, they have a lot of small actions in the open and secret, fortunately, we have been prepared." β
He Xi gently covered his stomach with one hand, and said, "However, you still can't take it lightly, Lin'er, you instructed Cailian and Fulu, both of them are clever." β
Ruyi nodded and said, "Don't worry, the slave has it in her heart." β
The two were silent for a moment, but they still took the initiative to mention: "The prince has sent a letter from southern Xinjiang, saying that in half a month, I am afraid that he will return to Beijing, and they plan to do it at Concubine De's birthday banquet." β
He Xi said: "Concubine De's birthday banquet, the envoys of Xiliang and Mobei will be in Beijing at that time, why did you choose this time?" β
Ruyi shook his head and said: "This slave doesn't know, and the news came back in a hurry, as for why the prince is so anxious, I'm afraid that only after asking the prince will know." β
He Xi pondered for a moment and said: "At this time, there is only one month before Concubine De's birthday, and there is such a big move in southern Xinjiang, it is impossible for Your Majesty not to know, we should also close the net." β
Ruyi nodded secretly, He Xi looked out the window, only to feel that there was a rare tranquility outside, and there was not even a trace of wind, as if he was suppressed, waiting for an opportunity to burst out.
After reaching a peak, the concubines of the Hehuan Hall gradually appeared tired, and those tricks and kung fu would feel fresh at first, making people want to stop, but after a long time, they have become ordinary things.
Calm down like this, you will show the lowliness and vulgarity represented by this means, but it is a quiet nobleman who was not very favored before, he has read poetry and books since he was a child, and traveled with his father to the four directions, has a wide range of knowledge, and often accompanies the emperor to talk about the world, Tuoba Chen also likes to go to her palace to sit, and Gongsun Jingyi sometimes inadvertently mentions the white talents of Chuxiu Palace, Tuoba Chen occasionally remembers, and also goes to Chuxiu Palace to stay for two days, but just such a thin grace, but Bai Zhi feels like a flower that has experienced winter, Gradually, the flowers and branches bloomed, and I was overjoyed, and I became more and more determined to make friends with Jing Guiren.
Lan Ruo was still grounded, but it was like the emperor's anger, with the loss of time and the comfort of the newcomers, gradually calmed down the anger of losing the concubine and the child in her womb, and the birthday of Concubine De was approaching, and there were many things in the harem that needed the Lan family Zhang Luo, so the queen's grounding was lifted, but the phoenix seal of the assistant six palaces was still in the hands of Concubine Hui, and for a while, the people in the harem couldn't figure out what the emperor's intentions were.
It's the queen, although the ban has been lifted, but she is still very low-key, and she doesn't like others to visit, and she is exempted from the morning and dusk of the palace concubines.
Tuoba Chen didn't say anything about this, because he had more worrying things.
That is, a spy came to report, saying that he had discovered the frequent contact between His Royal Highness King Xian and Yunlu General Zhu Zhenyuan.
When he heard this secret report, Tuoba Chen smashed the Duan inkstone worth a thousand gold in front of him, the ink in the inkstone splashed, dripping on the delicate white marble paved ground, his anger made him almost feel that his hands were trembling, as if he had been worried about what he had been guarding against, but he was powerless, the palace people in the hall were scared and trembled, lying on the ground and not daring to come out, Tuoba Chen said word by word: "In the past, I wanted you to check, You said that you couldn't find anything suspicious about the virtuous king, what the hell did you do, did you have to wait for the virtuous king's army to enter my dormitory and put the knife on my neck, and you would find out? β
How dare the spy speak, he could only call His Majesty again and again to spare his life, his forehead hit the ground of the white marble crisp sound, Tuoba Chen seemed to be extremely tired, and sat weakly on the wide and gorgeous dragon chair, under the palm of his hand, there were intricately carved sharp horns of the golden dragon, along the lines of the palm, pierced into the bottom of the heart.
Suddenly, someone came in in a hurry, and Fuqing reprimanded: "Bold, something without eyes, so panicked, don't you want your head?" β
Before the man reached the hall, he knelt down in a hurry and said: "Your Majesty, the big thing is not good, Yanzhou is in an emergency, the people are dissatisfied with the new tax law, and they are all pouring into the capital, and they are all blocked in front of Dali Temple and say that they want to ask for an explanationββ"
Tuoba Chenhuo got up and said, "How can this be? Such a big thing happened, is the command history of Yanzhou dead? β
He pointed to the palace man who came in and roared angrily: "Who is the commander of Yanzhou now!" β
The man almost knelt on the ground and didn't dare to come out, and Nuo Nuo said: "Yes-it's the son of Master Zhang Yi Zhang, Zhang Chengci, the servant of the ministry." β
Tuoba Chen instinctively felt the green tendons on his forehead beating faintly, and said: "What a Zhang Yi, the Ministry of Rites is responsible for the audit and inspection of my Dali officials, he is good, and sent his son to Yanzhou to be the commander of the history, I am afraid that I really think that the emperor is far away, and I can't control him!" Go, call Zhang Yi to come-"
The palace people hurriedly retreated, Tuoba Chen looked at the spy kneeling on the ground, and said in a colder voice: "What are you still kneeling like this?" Do you have to teach you how to do it? Go keep an eye on me, get out-"
As if the man had been pardoned, he crawled out of the Heart Nourishing Temple.
For a while, the noisy and noisy Heart Cultivation Hall was quiet for a while, and the people serving in the palace became more and more afraid to say more, and they couldn't wait to turn into a dust in the Heart Cultivation Hall at this time, even an old man like Fuqing had no idea, and he didn't know what to do, in order to avoid the anger of the saint, Tuoba Chen seemed to be tired and anxious, rubbed his forehead, and suddenly said softly: "Fuqing, you go to the Prime Minister's Mansion quickly and invite the Prime Minister into the palace." β
Fuqing hurriedly leaned over and responded.
But I didn't want to get out of the door of the Heart Cultivation Palace, and I saw Lan Xin from a distance holding a delicate hand and slowly coming in the direction of the Heart Cultivation Palace.
Seeing Fuqing, Lan Xin cleared her throat and said, "Your Majesty is in the Heart Cultivation Palace?" β
Where did Fuqing have time to delay here, so he hurriedly saluted and said in a deep voice: "The slave has seen the noble concubine, but the lady wants to see Your Majesty?" Lan Xin bowed her head and said: "Your Majesty hasn't been to the palace for many years, and the palace is worried that Your Majesty is worried about state affairs and doesn't care about his body, so let's take a lookββ"
Fuqing said with a smile: "The concubine is very hard, presumably Your Majesty must be very moved when she knows it, but now I'm afraid it's not appropriate, Your Majesty is indeed worried about state affairs, and just had a big temper, and now I'm angry, the slave is going to invite the Prime Minister, Niangniang, you-"
Lan Xin frowned and said, "What happened to make it so serious?" Fuqing just said hurriedly: "The slave still has something to do, I really can't delay it, Niangniang should please go back." β
With that, he hurried away.
