Chapter 107: Strange Waves
Ziyan herself has only been in the palace for a long time, besides, she was also under house arrest in the East Palace by Yin Huan before, and she has never been in contact with outsiders, and the palace people in the palace are all happy to bully her, and they naturally know very little about the people and things in the palace.
After An Luqi told Concubine Xiao Shufei's identity, Ziyan's eyes turned cold, "How did she approach the emperor?" It's not that I bought you, you're good, and you get benefits from both ends, but you forget that this palace has always treated you well. ”
An Luqi was so frightened that he knelt on the ground, "Niang Niang Ming checked, of course the slave knows that Niang Niang has always treated the slave well, how dare she be so ungrateful?" Concubine Xiao Shu didn't like to compete for favor, and she didn't take the initiative to get close to the emperor, but this time it was the emperor...... Today's slave asked the emperor to flop the card as usual, and the emperor had already picked up the Niangniang's brand, but put it down, and finally, turned over Concubine Xiao Shu's. ”
An Luqi raised his head and glanced at Ziyan quickly, "Niangniang, the slave still has to rush to wait at the emperor's side, and retire first." With that, he got up and bowed down. The corners of her mouth raised with some disdain, Ziyan is just a Qinglou woman after all, and as she said, she doesn't sell her body, but compared with the concubines in the harem, it is already much worse, and it is not easy to be favored for so long.
After being a little favored, he always felt that the emperor couldn't do without her, he had seen a lot of such people, but unfortunately they often ended badly.
……
Concubine Xiao Shufei saw that the emperor suddenly came, her expression was a little sluggish, I don't know if it was because she was flattered, or because she was really surprised, in short, after she stepped forward to pay respects, she was still a little helpless and stood there.
Cang Rinchen looked at her dormitory and sighed apologetically, "I haven't been here for a long time, and I have a grudge against me in my heart?" ”
Concubine Xiao Shu hurriedly walked to the table and poured a cup of tea for Cang Linchen, and then said softly: "The emperor has heavy state affairs, worries about the country and the people, and the concubine is just a woman, so she can't help at all, so in addition to self-blame and guilt, how can she be resentful?" She sat next to her, looked at him and smiled softly, "Every time the emperor feels depressed and uncomfortable, he will come to the concubines. ”
"It would be nice if everyone was as sensible as you were and knew how to be considerate of me." Cang Rin Chen ordered someone to bring a pot of wine and drank it himself.
"The emperor's words are wrong." Without a trace, he pushed away the wine cup in front of Cang Linchen and replaced it with a teacup, but he didn't mind much, but looked at her sideways, waiting for her to follow. Concubine Xiao Shu smiled lightly, "Your Majesty, the queen cares about all the people, do you think that when she was doing these things, did she ever think that one day she would be crowned with great achievements?" Did she really want those people to see her as the Nine Heavens Xuannu to come into the world by doing these things? Still build temples and plastic gold bodies for her? ”
Cang Linchen frowned and did not speak.
"Niangniang is the princess of the winning country, and I believe that the emperor will not forget that the winning country was destroyed by the emperor himself. This princess has become a princess of the dead country, she should hate you, and she can't wait to devour this enemy who destroyed the country alive. In the past, the concubines also thought so, always worried that she would secretly be unfavorable to the emperor. However, it turns out that we are all wrong, last time the emperor was critically ill, and everyone was guarding outside, wanting to rush in.
Moreover, we are also convinced that just a Xiao Jian and Ye Xinghuan can't stop our Praetorian Guards and Imperial Forest Army here, Niangniang is a weak woman, but she stubbornly refused to let go at that time, because she knew that as long as she hesitated a little, the emperor would be in danger. The art of changing blood has only been heard of, and no one has ever dared to try it, but in order to save the emperor, Niangniang dared to take risks. A weak woman, not taking advantage of people's danger, but saving the emperor from fire and water again and again......"
"Even you say nice things for her?" Cang Linchen raised his eyebrows with some displeasure.
"If the queen mother is really so displeasing to the emperor, the emperor will not come to the concubine at this time. The concubines also knew that King Jing returned to the palace today, but the war was lost, and King Jing resigned, if the emperor was only troubled because of these things, there were many people who shared your worries for the emperor, after all, political affairs and wars were not for the concubines to share your worries for the emperor. can make the emperor upset at this time, except for Niangniang, the concubines can't think of anyone else. ”
Cang Linchen couldn't help but raise his lips and smile, "Everyone knows that you are a well-known talented woman, and you can see through my heart at a glance." It's just that you guessed a little wrong, what I was annoying was not because I was worried about Xia Yinhuan, but because the imperial brother said that Ye Xinghuan was the best person to deal with Xianguo. Ye Xinghuan is a person, I can't get rid of my unhappiness, how can I put the fate of Daqing in his hands? Let me bow down to him? ”
Concubine Xiao Shufei looked at Cang Rinchen tightly, and finally, raised the corners of her lips lightly, "The emperor wants to deal with Ye Xinghuan, it is also because he is the only one who can really get close to the queen, and the mother's trust in him is probably not as good as even the emperor." In fact, as a woman, Niangniang's thoughts, the concubines understand a little more, they are happy at night, and they are only loyal to Niangniang, and the emperor, you ......" Concubine Xiao Shufei didn't say any more, so she changed the topic.
"The emperor didn't bow down to Ye Xinghuan, just because you couldn't let go of this face, if the emperor didn't trust Ye Xinghuan at the beginning, he would never have placed him by his mother's side. Now that the emperor wants to get rid of the night walk, does it really have nothing to do with the queen's mother? Hehe, when it comes to looking at feelings, the emperor is not as good as a concubine. In fact, Niangniang will definitely be able to persuade Yexinghuan for the emperor, as long as the emperor is willing to be soft in front of Niangniang, between husband and wife, no matter how deep the hatred is, it can be resolved because of heart and affection. ”
Cang Linchen frowned irritably, "It's been a long time since I've heard you play the piano." ”
Concubine Xiao Shu smiled faintly, "The concubine will go immediately." ”
*
"Sister." When Concubine Xiao got up, she felt that it was rare to find some warm sunshine today, which was very rare in winter, so she walked into the courtyard under the service of the palace people, but she heard a coquettish call behind her and turned her head to look at the comer.
"Sister, I'm really sorry to disturb my sister so early in the morning. However, my sister made a special trip to say sorry to your sister. ”
Concubine Xiao looked at the person who came and smiled lightly, "It turned out to be Concubine Yan." After speaking, he turned around and walked towards the Lang Pavilion in the courtyard, "The palace asked the palace people to prepare some refreshments and put them in the pavilion, if my sister is free, go and sit down." ”
"Be idle, be idle." Ziyan followed behind Concubine Xiao Shu and hurriedly responded, a cold light flashing in her eyes.
"My sister is still shallow in the palace, and I heard that the concubine Niangniang's piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and songs are all fine, and she is the first talented woman in the country, no wonder the emperor often praises your sister, saying that your sister is good and blue, smart and peerless."
"Concubine Yan, you are serious, when it comes to Hui Zhilanxin, she is smart and peerless, in this harem, I am afraid that only the queen mother is worthy of it, and those false names are just exaggerations of the people." When Concubine Xiao Shufei said this, she looked at Ziyan with a light smile, "You came to this palace so early, shouldn't it be just to tell this palace?" ”
Ziyan seemed to be a little embarrassed, and her cherry lips almost wanted to open, and finally, she turned into a sigh, "Sister, in fact, my sister came today to ask my sister, did the emperor mention the queen's mother to your sister yesterday?" Since my sister entered the palace, my mother has treated me like a sister, and now she doesn't know how to leave the palace suddenly, the emperor sent many people to find her, but to no avail. ”
Concubine Xiao didn't speak, just looked at Ziyan quietly. There was already some displeasure and ridicule between the eyebrows.
Under her scrutiny, Ziyan lowered her head gently, and it didn't take long for her to let out a low sobbing sound, "My sister knows that she has indeed committed a mortal crime, causing the queen to leave sadly, but I love the emperor's heart, but is there anything wrong?" I never thought of competing with the queen mother, I just thought that it was enough to serve the emperor by the side. How did you know that the mother would find ......"
Seeing Ziyan crying with pear blossoms and rain, I felt pity, Concubine Xiao couldn't help but sigh lightly, the women in the harem, how could she not know, there are three thousand beauties, but there is only one emperor. Moreover, when the Queen Mother let this purple smoke enter the palace, she made up her mind to make her a concubine, but this incident happened a long time ago, and the mother was depressed for a while, and in the future, she will always figure it out.
Concubine Xiao Shufei naturally didn't know much about what happened to Yin Huan, she only thought that it was because Yin Huan witnessed Ziyan and the emperor having fun in the side hall of the East Palace, and she couldn't stand this humiliation and blow for a while before she left the palace. "The emperor didn't stay here last night, but he just said something to the palace, listened to the palace play a song and left, and the palace also believes that the emperor is very attentive to the mother, he will naturally find a way to find the mother back, you can rest assured."
"It's good that that's the case, thank you sister." Ziyan tearfully smiled and took Concubine Xiao Shufei's hand, lowered her eyes, as if she was grateful, but in fact, the cold light flashed, Xia Yinhuan, and she must not return to the palace.
"It is a great blessing for the emperor to marry the queen, and the mother has always understood the reason, and she will not blame you more. By the way, sister, the Queen Mother is going to the Green Clothes Temple to pray for blessings in two days, and the palace also wants to follow to see Luo Concubine, do you want to go with us? Concubine Xiao Shufei saw Ziyan crying movingly, and quickly changed the topic to comfort her.
"Prayer?" A fine light quickly flashed under the purple smoke in his eyes, and he smiled without a trace, "As long as I can help the emperor and the Great Qing Kingdom, my sister will naturally go." I don't know if the emperor is ...... Will you come with us? Ziyan's eyes were clear, and he looked at Concubine Xiao Shu with watery eyes.
Concubine Xiao Shu couldn't help but chuckle, "The emperor is the king of a country, and there are still many state affairs that he needs to deal with. ”
"That's good." Xia Yinhuan, your good days are coming!
