Chapter 248: Emerald Gorse scratches her head
Since Yonglian's unfortunate death, Hongli's brow seems to have added a touch of deep sorrow, imprinted between his originally flat eyebrows, turning into a wrinkle that is not shallow, desolate. I haven't been in the harem for a few days, and I just go to talk to the queen.
In the eyes of others, it is extremely strange that the queen is suddenly favored, and she is also overly harsh in her guilt. But in Hongli's view, these are all closely related to himself. If it was really Lan Xin's heart that was too hard that caused Yonglian to die early, then he was the trigger for her hard-heartedness.
So Hongli didn't want to argue for himself, such pain, only by accompanying her to bear it, could he not live up to the deep love of the couple over the years.
Wang Jinbao glanced at the sky, estimated the hour, and then bowed down and said, "The emperor has been reading the excerpts for more than half a day, and it is time to rest." The slave looked, the servant of the worship room should have invited the Bai Guiren. ”
"Go and tell the Empress that I have decided to place the golden coffin of the Duanhui Crown Prince in the Tamura Funeral Palace in western Beijing for the time being. The cemetery will be discussed later. According to what I thought, it was too far away for that Yonglian to be by my side with the queen for a long time. The wrinkles between his brows were squeezed deeper by the frowning eyebrows, and Hongli didn't notice anything at all, and closed his eyes heavily.
After all calculations, this point is indeed missed. In the past few years since Hongli ascended the throne, it can be said that there have been many turmoil, but he really didn't think that the queen was a little weak, and she actually stretched out her ruthless hand to her grandson Yonglian. Is it really like the rumors in the palace, all of them are done by a pure concubine? Hongli couldn't find a direct trace, and at the same time, he didn't want Yongzhang to suffer anymore.
"Your Majesty, the honorable room has brought the Bai Guiren here." When Li Yu saw Wang Jinbao go out, he came in to pray. When I walked in, I smelled a rich mint coolness, and I knew that the emperor must have had another headache. Hurriedly said: "If the emperor is unwell, the servant will order the respectful room to take care of some ......"
Under the palm of his hand pressed the battle of the border of Bai Shicai, the father of the Bai family, and the excerpt of the first battle of the victory, I expected that at this time, the court and the outside world did not know how to stare at themselves. Everyone wants to see how the emperor rewards the heroes.
Thinking of this, a trace of helplessness crossed Hongli's eyes, as the emperor, many times he did not sincerely cherish the palace concubines. It is not to blame that many of them are also close to themselves with the same bad motives. This is a historical fact that has existed in all dynasties, and it is better to see it.
The slightly innocent eyes of the noble Chen suddenly flashed in his mind, and Hongli's heart darkened one by one, and he stood up with a sigh: "It's useless to let people wait, let's go." ”
How could Bai Suyu not know the news of her father's victory, so when Jingshifang came to Jingren Palace to deliver the decree, she already had a plan in her heart.
The inner attendant carried her horizontally to the dragon couch, and Bai Suyu closed her eyes. The slick body curled up in the soft blanket was actually very afraid, as if a casual gust of night breeze poured in, and it was full of coolness. She didn't want to be favored at this time, and she didn't want the emperor to think that giving her a little favor would make her grateful to Dade and receive the emperor's favor with joy.
So the inner chamberlain withdrew, and Bai Suyu tried to sit up.
The emperor's bedroom is full of bright yellow everywhere, showing the majesty and luxury of the royal family everywhere, and the heavy weight of the Son of Heaven is overwhelming.
Slowly getting up and removing the blanket wrapped around her body, Bai Suyu saw the emperor's wardrobe at a glance, and she didn't care about embarrassment and offense, and quickly pulled off a normal water coat and put it on her slightly trembling and naked body.
Before the action stopped, I heard the inner chamberlain outside the door shouting in his voice: "The emperor has arrived." Bai Suyu hurriedly flew up, bounced and ran onto the dragon couch, rolled her body into Fang Cai's blanket, and closed her eyes nervously. In a hurry, she forgot to close the door of the camphor cabinet, and the traces of turning it were particularly obvious.
So as soon as Hongli walked in, he felt a little strange.
Li Yu and the others just stayed outside the door and did not follow up. In the inner bed, only the emperor and Bai Suyu were left.
I didn't hear any movement for a long time, Bai Suyu opened her eyes slightly, but suddenly found that the emperor was nearby, looking at herself honestly.
"The emperor is blessed with Jin'an." Bai Suyu panicked for a while, and the whole person sat up suddenly, the blanket was just wrapped around her body, but it was not wrapped tightly, and it fell gently along the emperor's silky coat, revealing a faint bright yellow color.
"That's how your grandmother taught you to bed?" Hongli was surprised but didn't get angry, just looked at Bai Shi in front of him in confusion, as if he wanted to know what was going on in her head?
Bai Suyu shook her head, cautious and respectful: "If you go back to the emperor, Mama is not like this, teaching the concubines how to serve the emperor. It's that the concubine herself thinks ......"
"Why do you think so?" Seeing that she was a little stumbling, Hongli took the opportunity to sit down on the bed.
Biting her lip, Bai Suyu sank her heart and said slowly: "The concubine dared to speculate about the sacred heart, thinking that the emperor must not want to listen to lies. In this case, the concubines did not want to deceive the emperor. Since entering the palace, it has been half a year, and it is understandable that the emperor has never remembered that the concubine came to the original, but it is the father who has made war exploits, and the concubine is allowed to sleep, which is really ......"
Hongli understood when he heard it, and then snorted coldly: "The Bai family is so bold, it's okay to speculate on the holy will, and even complain that I have been snubbing you." So when I remember you, will I use your father's exploits as a reason to reject me? ”
"The concubine doesn't dare." Bai Suyu listened to the emperor's tone, although it was cold, but at least she was not angry. And between the lines, it seems to be very interesting, presumably his actions and words still attracted the attention of the emperor. So much better! Bai Suyu couldn't help but secretly rejoice, but the smug color was completely suppressed in her heart, and she didn't dare to show her appearance.
"For the sake of the emperor's sage, the concubine would rather not go to bed." Bai Suyu tightened her lips and said with a tough face: "Although the concubine's thoughts are no different from those of the other sisters of the Sixth Palace, they are indeed proud to serve the emperor. But if the emperor doesn't really like the concubines, but uses the concubines as a tool to win the hearts of the soldiers, then Suyu would rather resist the order and not obey the order, and don't want to take advantage of such a situation in vain. ”
There are a lot of people who are domineering, such as the nobles of the sea, who are always empty-eyed. There are always a few arrogant people, and the former concubine was the most likely to rely on her identity to make things difficult for others. Although these women all have some personalities, Hongli always feels a little frivolous, and he doesn't really feel distressed to the bones.
On the contrary, this Bai Shi, with sharp teeth and sharp mouth, dared to speak openly in person, and he was really not afraid of his anger and disposed of her. A deep coolness rose between Hongli's eyebrows, and his gaze became a little serious: "As you said, I have to rely on your father's military exploits to sit firmly in the Qianqing Palace and listen to the government?" ”
Bai Suyu found that the emperor's tone was not as soft as Fang Cai, and she was suddenly shocked, and quickly got up and knelt on the dragon couch: "The concubine is presumptuous and doesn't choose what to say, but the concubine doesn't mean that." For the emperor, turning over the brand to serve the bed is almost a common thing, but for the concubines, becoming the emperor's palace concubine is a lifelong event.
The emperor is not only the son of heaven, but also the husband of the concubines. If the husband doesn't have a concubine in his heart, then what hope does Su Yu have for marrying by mistake. But despite this, the concubines still hope that the emperor can treat each other with sincerity and not be false. The concubine would rather be lonely than have a false affection. ”
"Li Yu." After listening to Bai's words, it was difficult for Hongli not to get angry. "I'm feeling unwell, let's send Bai Guiren back to the palace."
Is this the "special favor" that Bai Suyu got by asking for herself? She couldn't tell herself, but she was still very disappointed in her heart. thought that the emperor would be very blue-eyed to her because of her "outspokenness", but things often backfired. Of course, Bai Suyu was not discouraged, and believed that no one had ever dared to tell the truth to the emperor like this.
Presumably, because of this "mantra", the emperor will remember her for a while, which is one of the desired effects. "The emperor is a ...... in a water coat" Bai Suyu pulled the clothes she was wearing on her body, and a trace of embarrassment flashed in her eyes.
"Since you like it, I gave it to you." Hongli naturally didn't mean to force her to take it off, but instructed Li Yu: "Send Bai Guiren back, I really wronged her today." ”
"Huh." Li Yu naturally didn't know the earth-shattering words of the Bai Guiren, but from the emperor's strange expression, he had already guessed that this Bai Guiren had made an extraordinary move. To be able to leave such a deep impression on the emperor when she was sleeping for the first time and attempted, she must have been not simple. The person sent it out respectfully, and he immediately turned his head to leave, but he clearly saw a trace of appreciation in the emperor's eyes.
Early the next morning, Concubine Hui waited for the emperor in the Yangxin Palace.
Because Chen Jinzhong accompanied the emperor to the Qianqing Palace, Gao Lingxi happened to pull Li Yu to gossip. "The palace heard that the emperor was slightly unwell yesterday, and even the Bai Guiren who was sleeping in the bed was sent back, and I was really uneasy. Dare to ask Gonggong Li, how uncomfortable is the emperor, why didn't he summon the imperial doctor to bed? ”
Li Yu bowed and smiled softly: "Concubine Hui, don't worry too much, the emperor is just a little sleepy after reading the excerpts of the day." Thinking that it doesn't matter, there is no labor imperial doctor to see. You also know that if the Palace of Heart Cultivation summons the imperial doctor, the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother must be alarmed everywhere. ”
Gao Lingxi nodded, thinking that it was indeed as Li Yu said: "Yes, the death of the crown prince of Duanhui, the queen mother and the queen are very sad. It is understandable for the emperor to do this. But the palace also heard a slightly nonsensical rumor, saying that the emperor doesn't like this Bai Gui very much, and the father-in-law has a bright eye and a bright heart, but does he think it's true? ”
